Just picked up VeChain (VEN) this week. Strong team, many announced partnerships and a rebrand coming up next week. A steal at around $4.50 in my opinion

very cool. NEO and LEND look interesting to me. As does DBC
I know he's 87, but did you see Buffett on CNBC? Â
He said he didn't know when, but he thought crypto would end badly. Said no way in hell would he short cryptocurrencies but if there was a 5 year put option that could be bought he would buy it.

VEN is in my top 3. As you can see today it exploded even with the market down. A $50 coin in the long run IMO.

LEND is going to explode this year, $1 easy.
XRP is at the price it was a little over a week ago Â
I got in at $0.24. If you got in because of Coinbase rumors you were getting in for the wrong reasons. 2017 4Q report is going to be interesting re: partnerships.
I hope you guys are at least taking note of Tron Â

Not saying he's wrong in regards to 90-95% of them, but in the same interview he said he had zero understanding of crypto. Kind of an odd thing to admit when you're talking about certainty.

I tend to think conservatively when it comes to price and even I think $50 is VERY conservative.
Especially with regulation rumors and Supreme Court rulings in favor of investors coming out of China, which was the world's biggest market before they banned exchanges last fall.
China is obsessed with the tech. Obsessed. The market will explode when they re-open trading.
Any individual coin? Hard to say. They only have value now because enough people agree they do. If they stop?
If that were true, and I'll use VeChain because it's most recent, then people like Jim Breyer, CEO of Breyer Capital, wouldn't be invested in it.
Follow the institutional money. Scroll down to Crypto - ( New Window )
This logic simply doesn't hold. Because institutional investors are diving into blockchain doesn't mean that any particular coin has an intrinsic value or that the transactional nature of the coins will be a moneymaker in the long run. They're speculating like all of us. And they're doing it the same way they did it in the tech bubble. By getting pre-ICO prices that aren't available to guys on BBI. They'll get in at prices we can't. Make money and when it all comes crashing down it will be mom and pops and maybe dudes on this thread that lose big.

Oh but we can invest in ICO's, VPNs are your friend. And if people here were smart enough they'd take out their initial investment as soon as possible and let the rest ride like I did.

Pre - ICOs. Like, when Facebook had their IPO and the price was 25 (I think?) lots of folks on the institutional side had already arranged deals at prices lower than 25 in exchange for earlier funding. So sure you can try and use your e-trade to get facebook on it's IPO day but the institutional guys are starting out with a profit that you can't match. This is exactly how the tech bubble worked. It's happening again. It'll pop at some point. Let's hope we all make some money before it does.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Like I said, hopefully people are smart enough to take their initial investment out. Actually, smart enough to not even start with money they can't afford to lose. I don't see this thing going anywhere for at least a year.
After seeing what happened with that iced tea company adding 'Bitcoin' to their name, I guess it makes business sense. But it's funny to see this outdated companies in the new again. I feel like Blockbuster is going to start mining Ethereum tomorrow.
with Binance two weeks ago, I bought some of their own BNB as almost an afterthought, primarily to take advantage of the 50% discount towards transaction fees when you pay using BNB. It's since been the best performer in my portfolio.
Which coins do you like for the weekend bounce this week?
Hard to say. I hate telling people what to buy and it's been a roller coaster of a week chart-wise.
VEN is still a good option. Bouncing between 6 and 7 for a few days, but currently sub $6. (FYI I'm heavily invested and biased, but I do the most research on coins I own so take this suggestion with a grain of salt)
As for coins I do not own that I can be objective about, Icon (ICX) and Raiblocks (XRB) dipped quite a bit.. could be a nice entry. Again, I don't do as much research on coins I don't own, but I do my due diligence on mostly everything in the top 25.
Lots of red in my portfolio. Only Siacoin still up for me. Guys, any opinions on EthLend? It’s the second highest coins I have in my portfolio. I am getting slaughtered, down almost $400.

Agree, if you have money to speculate and want to entertain yourself then go at it. This is all about timing the fluctuations, very much luck.
as mark twain once said "history doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes"
I played stock markets during the dot com bubble and it all seems very familiar --
it was normal for a dot.com stock to move 10-25% in a day - or if you got in an IPO a 100-500% move the day the stock went public. by early 1999 it was impossible to lose in the market if you played a dot.com stock .. but by 2000 most investors were wiped out .. I kept at trading stocks and learned how to be a trader .t
The irony is while Bitcoin and crypto currencies are exploding it is actually a great time to be trading the stock market. I can make more profits from trading weekly options of high beta stocks than any crypto currencies . I have tried to explain this to friends who are in love with crypto currencies but they won't listen
my favorite quote about investing
"Don't fall in love with an investment, no matter how sexy it is"
this is my favorite quote about bitcoin.
"Bitcoin has some of the attributes of a headless currency. Nevertheless, it has no intrinsic value ‒ not even as a collector's item because it is intangible. Nor is it a financial asset like a stock or bond because it has no returns. Its only investment value lies in the possibility of appreciation bestowed on it by those who hold it: it is an asset with no underlying."
I'm pretty disinterested in spending more time on it. If you weren't in early you are stuck waiting for your application to go through and be verified, or you can't submit anything at all. Its a shitshow.
RE: Good lord it takes a week to process a purchase? Â
January is historically one of the worst months of the year. Combined with the Korean FUD and an ultra bullish market lately, this isn't a huge surprise. Just hold tight, buy some sales!

It's my #1 so I feel your pain big time. Luckily I sold a bunch at the ATH so I can sit tight and not worry. It's too good of a project, it will certainly hit $1 this year in my opinion.

Luckily for me, NEO and VEN have weathered this bloodbath quite nicely but the same can't be said for the rest of the market. Hold on everyone! This needs to happen every so often!
what you into today?
Just picked up VeChain (VEN) this week. Strong team, many announced partnerships and a rebrand coming up next week. A steal at around $4.50 in my opinion

Yeah - after it didnt get listed on Coinbase I would have sold immediately.

You're exactly right. They aren't shutting down crypto, they are simply regulating shady exchanges not paying their taxes.

I put in a whopping $9,700 and pulled out $12,800. Bought 2 shares of Amazon and a bike.
But I just put $2,700 in on the dip. Still less than the $3100 I took out, although technically I spent the $3100.
I'm not going to get rich on crypto, but unless I do something really stupid in the future, I'm going to make some money.
I see BTC around $20K at mid year.
