I easily, trade crypto, read about crypto, talk about crypto, or work on mining crypto 60hrs a week. Idk what the number is but it’s way over 60.

I bought the dip at 1131, wish I had some usdt on binance. it got down to 1020

Bad 24hrs. Another dismal 24hrs probably means one thing - strong re-entry opportunity sub $1K.

I think you accidently linked to same post twice to back up good calls? That one post does look very good though, well done!
I am like you, in nice poisition where really happy in fiat, crypto has made me near set for life, also nice position in ethereum and nice position in bitcoin. Even though I think bitcoin is way overvalued (along with 90+% altcoins). So i think is good can own something but still accept all its faults. A lot of this is bubbly. How much will pop, will some stay floating with helium? I think so, but not all the way as high.
I advise all who made lots $ on paper, don't be afraid to take profit for FOMO that you will look back and think 'damn could be a millionaire if i didnt sell xxx'. If it does all crash will hate yourself for not cashing some in. Try and find a balance that is good for you. Will be unique depending on age, circumstances, risk tollerance etc.
Good luck!

I have to admit I scoff at anyone that likes litecoin, but serious question, are you still holding it? Mind saying what % of your portfolio?

Same question with eth. You're holding some from .015, but is significant at all in your portfolio?

you should understand by now, that this kind of rationale gets you no where in crypto. The best traders, investors, swing traders, whatever that I know, always tend to be people who are the most open minded to possibilities. You must be flexible in every aspect wrt how you approach cryptocurrencies, how do you everything must always be questioned.


why? because you learn.

possibly n00b Q:

i tried sending ETH ftom mew trezor to bitfinex today. was working fine in the past. after 5mins transaction shows pending in eyh explorer. 30mins later transaction is gone like i never sent anything. my balance in wallet still the same like i never sent... why?!

try adding more "gwei" to your txn, and slighlty bumping the gas limit.


****ing eth.

If you click the transaction hash and if the page doesn't exist, then you didn't broadcast the transaction. Obv if you get a page, itll say success or fail.

i broadcasted and got the usual confirmation that transaction "was broadcasted to network". then i check says pending. check half an hour later and its gone like it was never broadcasted in the first place. very weird

There have been opportunities for good swing trades and whatnot wrt to litecoin, but I am not a swing trader, and was under the impression you weren't either. Only time I'd touch it was when big arbs existed.

If you are swing trading, then me asking what % of portfolio it is for you at this moment is basically irrelevant. Only asking because you suggested it before as a long-term hold, and you gave some reasons you liked it long-term (which coincidentally were some of the reasons I hate it).

Regardless everything you said above is right, but when I asked I was only curious from the perspective of a long-term buy/hold passive investor given that the post you linked from 3.5 months ago said 6 months-2years.


Tim: yeah you need to use higher gas price or it will likely be slow. It's normal if you use too low of a gas price and it says pending for it to show as not pending on etherscan after a while. It will work eventually but just use higher gas price in the future if it is at all time sensitive.

get hyped!

So from reading this, if I have ether, and I put some up effectively as collateral what do I stand to gain from doing this?

more ether

From where or who?

Also need to run a node or something?

From everybody else, proportionally. I assume that you get them awarded to you, like the block reward for mining a block on a proof of work chain. Your new coins, that you are awarded for locking up your coins for a period of time and doing the work of validating new transactions, will cause inflation in the system and lower the value of all other coins.

Hmm, have to see how/if it works out I guess.

Well get hyped about POI. the options are limitless. NEM could add algorithms that restrict mining efficiency if there is too much from one farm or country, for instance. Cheaper than proof of stake because pure POS ties up to much capital thus the rewards demanded for that activity are greater. this problem isnt solved folks. everyone will be doing what NEM is figuring out. but ether wont be far behind in adopting it

Is ethers supply capped? Prolly could Google it but posting here seems good.

Just sayin if eth at current supply hits a 1T cap id be over 10k a ether... if only I had 8000 ether tokens....

How about that tether liquidity aggo?

With kraken down, the last 24 hours volume:
Bitfinex USDT/USD $59,478,000 - seems legit
Exmo USDT/USD $154,486

superb article, ty

Wow.

I did not bother with cryptos because I thought they had zero value and also my very simpleton personality.. but this article sold me on their infrastructure. It is a game changer. Can't wait to see what comes out of this storm.

LOL.
