It's really crazy to think how big coinbase could become if they play their cards right with something like the lighting network.

Funnily enough, my two biggest losers %-wise were coins I thought were stupid and never wanted, but I kept seeing them mentioned and spiking so I bought out of FOMO (same as most of the others, but I at least liked the sounds of most of them). Luckily they were both my min buy-ins.

WAX - Bought $200, now sitting at $33.28
XP - Bought $200, now sitting at $41.89

12 others I bought for $200 are now under $100.

XEM - Bought $300, now worth $154

Then there's AION (THANKS KAZUYA!) - Bought $500, now worth $181

Icon - Bought $500, now worth $210

Plenty of others. Still up a good chunk overall thankfully. Bless you ethereum. Wish I'd just kept pouring my money into that alone.

Can you explain? That sounds baddd.

People trying to collect the fork can compromise their monero wallet. It's more significant with monero as it privacy is paramount

also don't know all sat prices, but i'm losing on almost all my holdings. i bought almost everything mid-jan and am down >33% overall since getting in the game. have 25 coins atm. bit excessive maybe but i just find too many projects appealing. (67 sounds way too high czar)

biggest bag is eth (19%), which is my base currency. alot of that is earmarked for wanchain and ICOs though so it won't be a large % soon enough unless i manage some profit taking which seems unlikely short term.

i had bought a roughly equal $ value of neo, ada, qtum, icx. reason- platforms are where it's at. nothing else i hold is >5% of pf.
neo is overperforming and is 11% so it'll be my biggest bag once eth is spent. icx is underperforming.
also hold lisk, vechain, stellar, polymath, dragonchain, eos...really believing in platforms

biggest other category bags are ethos, nuls, selfkey.

Ledger pruning completely solves this issue. Why don't you look into the tech, understand it and make an informed choice. You can pull random arguments with buzz words that you have learned on the internet to more or less credit or discredit these thing but I know reading half the post in this thread that most people don't have an Iota what they are talking about and have just read a few articles and think they sound clever regurgitating them on the internet. I won't be making any further posts about Nano on this thread because as I have said I don't give a **** if people buy it. I personally just think it is a good buy. A hugely risky one that has a high likelihood of failure like everything else in this space.

Straight up shill but I do think VEN is going to increase in the next few days, its gettin lsited ion a Korean exchange tmrrw and rebrand + partnerships, its already moving up fast! right now
The koreans should pump this up tmrrw but they might insta dump, so be careful and ride until they decide to dump it by perhaps as soon as within the hour in gets listed, depending how hard they ride it up.

Goes on Coinnest tomorrow but there's also the rebrand and they are announcing new partnerships, with a possibility 1 of them being BMW, it's a rumor but seemingly fomr a guy that is right a lot of times regarding these rumors. Not only that but they are luanching on the Korean exchange right in the middle of the rebrand event. Ven will have it's own fiat pairing.

For new traders especially, make sure you follow the price closely over the next few days. I think it has potential to reach $10-$20 in the coming days. I also think it can dump relatively fast afterwards. So be prepared to sell.

I am not saying this will happen but rather making an educated guess, and making a bet based on the fact that Koreans will buy this up as soon as it hits their exchange tomorrow.

VEN is a great coin to hold anyway, and at these rock botom prices, it is a great buy especially in anticipation of a price hike, which I think is imminent.

Right now volume is building, but the real volume will come tomorrow when a lot of people fomo in, price will go high, because so many Koreans are buying it up.

Be aware of the dump that is highly probable after a rebrand.

No comment on the rest, or any idea where it will go (if anywhere), but lol @ Ven being at a "rock bottom price". Dude it's a top15 mcap coin that's gone 20x over the last 10 weeks. Price would have to drop a lot for me to have any interest in it, good project tho but if anything it has got to be overvalued at this point

Yeah that's what I thought too, I found it on 1 of the discord groups i'm in.

But would you agree though? I mean Lisk pumped 100% going on a Japanese exchange, this seems even better, no?

Or have these things been priced in already, since it shot up from last month?

I have been thinking of adding some ICX again. I like buying things dripping in FUD. They have a tonne of stuff coming soon like Token Swap, Mobile Wallet release and ICO platform. It is hard to imagine how this bottoms much more than currently.

I honestly have no idea. In general tho, the good old "buy the rumor, sell the news" rumor seems to almost always apply in crypto. I've tried these same plays myself a few times and gotten burned virtually every time -- the pump happens before the actual listing and then it dumps once it gets listed. I have no idea about Ven and can't be bothered to look into it further, these "it will/will not pump because of listing on x exchange" plays are too coinflip-like for my tastes. All I'm saying that I think it's unrealistic to expect it to be a huge value buy since it's already gone up 2000% in ~10 weeks and the mcap is getting pretty ridiculous in size. No comment about this specific japanese exchange play.

Lisk and Ven are both really good products tho, imo. I never owned lisk despite being shilled it and regret it pretty hard. Still I thought it should have been a super easy snap sell when it peaked at 290k sats a week ago. My friend who has a **** ton of it and has held forever still refused to sell basically any. People tend to get really blind to just holding stuff that has made them money in the past despite them reaching crazy high mcaps. Ven is a bit different since it seems to be trending upwards, but at least personally I still wouldn't be at all interested in either at current prices. Doesn't mean they wouldn't be +ev buys (I have no idea), I just think there are so many better opportunities out there every day.

Yeah that's going to be a really interesting one to follow. I kinda agree it seems to have stabilized a bit, I was trying to tell people ITT not to buy it on "dips" when it went down from 90k to 75k sats or something, but now that it's actually dipped quite handsomely doesn't seem like the worst buy anymore. I'm still not touching it, but wouldn't be surprised one bit if it shot up a fair bit.

Nothing is fully priced in, the alt coin market is inefficient, irrational and highly manipulated.

He is just trolling. But considering the volume and fees that will get lower on litecoin since they lowered the min fee and are promoting segwit on litecoin, I definitly see litecoin progressing faster than Bcash this year.
The Bcash community is starting it first conflict with a community split with some new feature that is controversial.
Anyway it doesnt matter much, i wouldnt use BCash for anything but transfering between exchanges if you have a BCash trading pair involving it or if litecoin for the same purpose would be more expensive. Holding Bcash while it had some very unnatural pump and gained traction from a problem that seems gone with BTC seems dangerous to me.

That's true just as with Bitcoin, and more significant as privacy is even more critical for Monero. But it's much worse than that. In Bitcoin you deteriorate your own privacy by consolidating your outputs. In Monero you deteriorate everybody's privacy by effectively removing your signatures as possible spenders in their ring signatures. If enough people do that, most ring signatures will be completely exposed as to which signature is the one that was used.

Instead of trying to decipher my rambled explanation, read it from the experts. Full thread, comment chain that it's unsolvable at the protocol level, discussion about "solutions".

I wonder who pumped ETN from ~$0.07 to $0.13 earlier today.

It has since retraced to $0.087.

Sold all my holdings for about break even. My coins were stuck on Cryptopia during the entire run up and back down so couldn't sell. The donation pool looks like it will end around 30k so I have a small bonus for mining there, but not planning to hold any ZCL through the fork. Hoping that mining there for the last few weeks won't be a waste.

Hey guize, what’s a secure place to buy some ETN? Just looking to buy and hold a few hundred $

(Also just saw ETN is being called Electroneum. Is this the same as the coin on the Ethereum network? I thought it used to be Ether? I’m looking to get in on the Ethereum network)

Sorry for being a noob, I figured better to ask here than trowl the random internets. Been loosely following crypto since 2010, but never bought because didn’t want another UIGEA situation. Don’t mind losing the money now so I’ll get in and hold.
