IMMensaMind 459 Posted January 5, 2018 This is why traditional investment strategies MAY not apply. This craze is unlike anything I've seen in my 25 year investing career. Hence, the shotgun approach I mentioned in an earlier post. Well, I think the traditional approaches do apply for that reason - but it's like investing on acid. Everything happens far more quickly. It's like Pink Sheets where everyone is suddenly interested in them. The interest attracts volatility; the volatility attracts players who manipulate, further exaggerating the swings, etc. Cycle on. The CCs with the best angles are the most reliable (like ETH). You could have researched DOGE and figured out what was behind it (the guy downloaded an image of a dog from the 'net to put on the coin, and said that he was doing this as a lark), just as you can - often - see through the noise. I don't and nearly surely won't invest in any of the new ICOs that FBN was mentioning, mostly for the reasons he's described. I suppose there could be exceptions, like players involved who came from other coins and have established some credibility (the guy behind TRON (TRX) had such an advantage, having come from Ripple, etc). I still see what you're saying though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,044 Posted January 5, 2018 Coinbase said they don't like ripple so it dipped. Hopefully it drops a little more so I can up some more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMMensaMind 459 Posted January 5, 2018 Coinbase said they don't like ripple so it dipped. Hopefully it drops a little more so I can up some more. I understand that there's more to the story than that. I read - somewhere - that investors behind Ripple (or Ripple insiders themselves) pushed a rumor that Coinbase was going to add Ripple to their services. But they had no plans to do so (nor should they: their service already is horribly backlogged). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint Elistan 106 Posted January 5, 2018 Up to $0.075 now...was $0.04 when I posted this. I'm hitching my wagons. I'm calling $0.50 by the end of the year. Maybe higher. TRX peaked at 0.30 last night...forget 0.50 by the end of the year, it's 0.50 by End of Month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alias Detective 1,179 Posted January 5, 2018 cash/visa check card While I'm sure you have your reasons, they are not with your best interest in mind unless you are a very unique individual.

There are so many, and a lot are pure scams. They want your money to drive up the price, then the "devs" dump their stock to get more bitcoin. Im looking at Saga coin right now.

vuduchile 1,941 Posted January 6, 2018 Before they cracked down on poker, I had a small checking account only for poker. I'm not linking my main accounts to anything questionable. I came to that same conclusion, but hopefully not too late. Im gonna continue using a specific credit card for crypto investing only. And Coinbase has a payout method thru pay pal. When I cash out, Ill go that route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmmmm...beer 691 Posted January 6, 2018 So.. when does a guy take profit? Say for instance.. I bought $900 of LEND a few days ago.. it's floating around $1109-1325-ish the last few days. I realize this stuff doesn't behave like normal investments, but doesn't it make sense to sell when it's like $1300.. picking up a 40-45% return in just a few days? Then find something to buy and hold a few days again? Or does a guy think greedy and think.. oh you're in @ .17 cents.. wait till it's 1.00 and you make 5gs! Meh...

Just hold Lend. I'm aiming for it to hit $1 . The reason you keep your money in Lend is because the market cap is still relatively small. It pretty much has the most room to run on Binance imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
