ETH finally breaking out into price discovery. This should be good for all alts. 

Coinbase had 1.3M app downloads in January.

That's more than E-trade, TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, and Sofi had combined.

 Thank you!

I should've invested back when Van discussed this in 2013 

Never too late. Just have to get into the right coin. 

My old self would sell atom and fomo into something pumping. 

My new self will wait patiently like a thief in a bush. 

The ATOM/BTC chart looks so good

Luna $2.21 

Seems like yesterday it was $0.30 

I woke up one morning and panic sold and the damn thing took off without me. 

It was good to me while I had it.

 Yeh thanks for having a look anyways. Im trying to set up a wallet to swap for some. Im on the wrong side of fifty for some of these things. @ Aleph_im Network if you follow stuff like that.

What does the wrong side of 50 mean? 

I just looked at CoinGecko quick and most of the volume is at Uniswap. The USDT/Aleph pairing at KuCoin looks to be your 2nd best bet. 

For Uniswap just use Coinbases decentralized app. It’s a separate app from their regular one. 

Then connect that wallet on Uniswap. Send ETH to that wallets ETH address and swap ETH for Aleph. A little confusing but pretty simple once you get the hang of it. 

Aleph reminds me of Crust Network (CRU). 

Decentralized cloud computing is a good market to invest in imo. 

They have some good partners with Serum/RioDeFi/Orion/Jarvis. 

The founder @jon1012 looks a little funky and not sure what his resume looks like. 

Asian sessions are starting to pick up again. We need them. South Korea got really sour on crypto after the 2018 dump — would be nice if the masses started to flow back. 

Luna and their app Chai has a ton of users in South Korea.

That's just one fund.

Most people have no idea what’s happening. By the time they realize it will be too late.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you 

Thank you

 The wrong side of 50 is a reference to my age. I have zero background in finacials so charts and all of the standard jargon i have to research. Thanks for the directions. I'll look into it.

One thing I’ve noticed that I really like — When I first got into crypto in 2017 I honestly believed the shitty projects I invested in were going to take over the world. 

After the crash I didn’t really believe that people would have that mindset again. Well, I have noticed that the mindset is back. 

Right now the regular retail investor is becoming aware of crypto and signing up for coinbase etc. In 10 months, they’ll be refinancing their houses to buy the top. This is because of that mindset. They believe it is the future and it will only go up. 

It could be the future, but it definitely does not only go up. 

The truth is the bear markets in crypto are BRUTAL. They’ll turn $1M into $100k in the blink of an eye. 

Towards the end of 2021 we’ll be looking for the best time to exit.

Let me know when you abandon ship!

@I_Need_A_Detox

 Your going to try and time when to get out of bitcoin? Good luck with that. I’m HODLing and never selling 

Still a looooooong way to go. 

In 2017 NEO went from $0.50 May 14th to $160 middle of January. 

NANO went from $0.20 November 29th to $30.00 January 2nd. 

This is what’s coming in the next 10 months. 

I think I’m underestimating this bull market surge, I now think ETH will hit $3k before end of Apr.
