NFT: Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency Discussion

Not sure what happened to the other thread so starting this one. Will delete if it's still here and bumped.

ETH just exploded and the current market cap for all coins is insane: $728,247,396,616

Going to be an interesting year for sure.

Buy BTC off of Coinbase, using gdax. Send it to Binance or Bittrex and then exchange it for XRP.
Looking really good

Great weekend for a couple of coins I've mentioned on here and for the market in general.

BTW, Binance is by far the best exchange.

Buy BTC/ETH/LTC on GDAX with a limit buy (no fees), send to Binance, buy other coins.

to buy ripple when it was just .22. Now it is over $3.00 in less than a month. Apparently, Binance has crashed because I am having a hard time logging in right now?

The best coin to get right now is Gifto (GTO). It is set to explode.

Also, wait for a correction and then buy more ripple. It is set to hit coinbase in a couple of weeks and when that happens, it is going to explode
What happened to the other thread??  
tbonfig : 1/3/2018 4:41 pm : link
I bookmarked and planned to catch up tomorrow.

I’m just looking to start getting into these and not committed to one currency yet. Should I just sign up for a few of these exchanges and figure out which ones after the fact?

Yes because they take a while to verify, some aren't even taking new accounts (Bittrex).

I think NFT's kind of drift away after a few days of inactivity..

Anyway, if you're not committed to one coin, I would suggest an exchange with a lot of different options and a lot of different purchasing ratio's. Binance fits that bill nicely.

FYI, I know a lot of people were talking about verification on Binance.. I'm not verified and was easily able to withdraw 2 BTC yesterday. Once you verify, that limit goes to 10 BTC, but you can certainly get on and buy/sell/trade without verification (unless they changed the policy after i signed up and I'm grandfathered in? I doubt that though)
I fucked up majorly last night  
Jim in Scranton : 1/3/2018 5:39 pm : link
Day trading half of my Ripple at .00016000 btc and sold at that price. Left it over night to buy back at .00015000 and it exploded during the night. I am still waiting for the correction, but I am down $500 now. See kids, HODL.

Then find your way into ICOs or presales. The name of the game is to buy coins when they are the cheapest and hold until you get a multiple of your investment. Here are the ones you should try to get via ICO/presale or buy when it hits exchanges: zil, poa, wan, nucypher, ontology, nex, mobilecoin, and thekey. You should also understand the difference between dapps and infrastructure projects (ie, new blockchains and protocols).

You're goal is to hit 10x-50x multiples on a few projects. Making 1-2x is ok but not where the money is.

You're welcome.

On binance, go to funds, then deposit/withdrawal and find LTC. Click deposit, and it’ll give you a public address. Copy that address. Then, on Coinbase, go to your LTC wallet and click the plane in the top right. Put the amount you want to send (there will be a slight fee). Click next and input the address. Click send and it should transfer relatively quick.

I’m sure there are many YouTube walkthroughs too. Sounds complicated but it’s really not.

neo will be top 5 coin in 2018 at some point.

IMO, you guys are a little late but still relatively early. Risk more than a few dollars because this is an opportunity of a lifetime. Do your research, invest in icos, and invest heavily and try to de-risk sometime later this year.

The key is to get in and get out while maximizing profits. Don't play the long game. And don't be afraid to take risks.

WhoCares : 1/3/2018 8:26 pm : link
in other words, don't buy into projects that have huge market caps. They has less room to run. How much more can xrp go? 2x from here? And that is being optimistic. You can get 2x easily from any ico these days.

Yeah I get that, just talking in general for larger sums of money. I also saw something where bitcoin transfers that are below something like $500 may be ignored until the dust settles. It’s the small transactions that I think is bogging everything down.
Who cares

Agree with a lot of what you said. Especially on XRP.

The growth the market has gone through is remarkable and unheard of. But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. You said it best, once in a lifetime opportunity. I’m heavily committed to my few favorite coins, but at this point it’s still very early for some of these ICO’s

Yes. You can do that via Coinbase

I have converted a bunch back into fiat. I personally like gemini exchange.

US investors usually cannot get into these icos. But many still find a way to do it.

open up gemini exchange acct, wire in $1k (or even better, as much as you can), buy btc/eth, join icobuyer slack, learn as much as you can, buy into good icos, and make bank.

remember, market cap is the most important thing here not the price of the coin.

I’ve found that Reddit is a good starting point for getting to know the names of certain coins, but once you are interested in the idea or niche of a certain coin, independent research is key. Personally, I look for strong teams that back strong ideas. Each serious ICO or coin should have a white paper which outlines the goals, roadmap and details of the coin, it’s wallets, and any other important things you should know before investing.

For example, a few weeks ago I was talking on the other thread about Quantstamp. I’ve always worried about blockchain security in terms of hidden bugs found in code which could cause a shutdown of a network that houses them. Naturally, when I found out about Quantstamp, which is an audit protocol of the code prior to being able to trade it publicly, I was very interested. It turned out the team was full of previously successful and really smart people. So, I invested. It was .18 a couple of weeks ago, now around .50.

Security, infrastructure, digital storage. I tend to stick to coins in those industries.
