That sounds ominous...how can you get into a position with 5k limits anyway? I dont want to open another acct, I dont like the sound of that at all!

If all the Altcoins are down, shouldnt BTC and ETH be up? I just dont understand how everything could have dipped so hard during that 2 hour period and then rebounded almost back to normal within a 2 hour period

From today's WSJ:

Prices for some of the most popular cryptocurrencies dropped sharply Monday. One apparent reason: an adjustment from a popular website on its digital-currency price quotes.

A website called coinmarketcap.com on Monday removed data from some South Korean exchanges from its price quotes for a range of virtual currencies including bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple’s XRP. The move followed a South Korean government .

I really do not like that you have to do 3 steps to make a transaction...move the money from bank to one of the big names, then the big name to the next name and sometimes on a completely different exchange. This reeks of inefficiency and it cant continue longer term. I am also not going to look into any little names with lousy liquidity and big spreads...if something happens you get stuck with no out and I dont care for that at all. For 100 bucks I dont care and yeah I can set these up just in case of course. WallSt...with much respect..I don't get why you want to make this play...Your heart is no where near in it...This is speculation, pure and simple...it's a gold rush...for those who got in early, they have a stake and are playing with house money...For you, I think your energy and intellect (of which I would want to tap) would be much better served in the traditional markets. My very small $.02.   Its funny you say that and thanks for saying it...but the reason I am this way comes from all the massive risks I've taken over the years...this is in the same vein but for sure I am not conservative and I do and will take risk. I cut my teeth trading options like 25 yrs ago, I was a broker during the .com bubble, I traded options on Amazon when they first traded as a public stock, I survived the .com bust, the housing bust and now this. I've learned from being burned to spend a ton of time learning before making a decision and to distrust the market...we are not even molecules in this market, we are merely chum in the waters and you need to trade thinking that...and always remember we have no control over what happens, we do nothing with regard to moving the markets...so if you can get out in front of the herd you CAN beat the market. I dont see value chasing a bubble, but that doesnt mean I am against doing so.

Agreed...all the way around.

It isnt the money or the risk, trading stocks and Forex is as or more risky than this...I just dont see the valuations and there hasnt been a dip which means the market is ripe for a major shakeout and maybe then I might be more motivated. I also am not 100% confident in funds being secure and liquid. That to me is the top issue, that the markets are unknown and unstable.

I’m not 100% sure about funds being secure either and I have a good amount sitting on exchanges in Asia 

What can you do

Also I am not looking to play around with 100 bucks or 500 bucks...to me that would take a MAJOR MAJOR lucky break (like has happened for many of course) so I would probably want to do 10k to 15k and try to make some sort of move, also I am not wanting to play dogecoin or some unknown names...to me what I am looking for is one that has a higher price, lower total market cap and maybe is a future mover, a big player...that to me is interesting. So looking at the list and not having really dug in yet what looks interesting to me are-

DASH

NEO

Monero

Bitcoin Gold

ZCash

REP

DCR

But then I have to find out more about them and if they are liquid and the story...it takes time that I am not having and I bet if I look up charts on these I am going to puke anyway seeing where they were 3 months ago...lol

NEO, Icon and Ethereum would be 3 good ones for you 

Neo was $0.10 Jan 2017 and is now $120.00 but it’s going to keep going up. China has restrictions/ban on crypto and they are much more likely to allow NEO because it was created by Chinese developers. 

Dash is steady. 

I own a few Monero so obviously I like it. 

Bitcoin Gold is crap imo. 

I don’t know much about Auger. 

I like Decred, almost got into it.

I second ETH...it's held steady, even bumped up a few points, the last few days when everything was on a swing.

I do also own Ripple and very small BTC.

My kid, a crypto kid, is big on Monero, so I shall look there a bit.

This isn't going anywhere soon Wall, so do the due dilligence. It's a bit like the FANG or AMZN ride, you can almost get in any point and still make a few pennies.

Thats just pathetic....

 

I cant buy into moves like that, and to think the opportunities were there. I guess the only thing to try and do is try to look forward to what might be in the future and what isnt being seen now, or wait for some major poundage and hope for a second run after a shakeout.

I bought NEO last month for $35, Ethereum for $400, Ripple for $0.30 etc etc. 

There’s a good chance you could look at a snapshot of today and say the same thing about the opportunities.

I started putting money in Dec 5... by Dec 25 I put $13k in. I now have $41k and I’ve made a bunch of mistakes. 

I think there is good money to be made for another 6 months to 1 year. 

Ok, I’m done being a crypto salesman.

Really interested in Sirin.  I think it's a great opportunity to buy a nice chunk when it gets listed on a major exchange, watch it run up and then take profit.  Can I ask how your process went when buying it?  I assume you bought through Liqui?  I have no experience with them.

My concern is Sirin won't get any mainstream service provider to sign on with their phone.  Also, it probably won't release until at least Q3 2019.  If you're into Sirin, you should get on Status (SNT), in my opinion.

I am now intrigued after a quick look around their website and Reddit.  Initial reaction is that everything on their homepage is screaming "BUY THIS COIN" instead of actually telling me about the technology.  

Detox, how many different exchanges are you on, man?  You have money flying all over the world.

Market is pretty beat up right now. I’d like to think now would be a good time for a new person to get in.

I’m mostly on Binance. I had to go to gate.io to get Nebulas, coin exchange to get Flik and liqui to get Sirin.

What is this, WGR? If you buy WGR tokens you receive a piece of the Oracle payout? Is that how it works?
