Yeah that was directed at Taylor…didn’t see you had posted in between.

Hopefully. I’m buying chunks at the big dips and selling at a reasonable increase. I’m not HODL’n anything except deez nuts

Right now that’s a strategy I would use too . Looks like lots of big whale party pumps & dumps within the range , which slowly creeps lower every week ..

If you disregard hindsight then staking makes sense as a “I don’t know what I really want to do, so I’ll HODL and ride it out” strategy. You’re adding more to your pot that you’ve already decided is committed.

The problem with the argument against staking and just playing the market instead is that it assumes that past returns are an indicator of future returns, which is like the first thing you’re told not to follow in traditional investments.

If we could all predict to a certainty the dips, even the small ones, then you’d make a fortune just buying and selling at the right time. As we don’t have the power - staking, earning interest, is essentially a sure fire thing in uncertain times.

I just wish staking was available on Coinbase. All my crypto stuff is on there, I’m not on any other websites, so can’t do anything with my ETH, ADA, etc (I thought staking ETH was available on Coinbase, but I don’t see any option to do it).

Very true , you can never be sure on predicting dips etc .. then we’d all be millionaires

If you transfer your ada/eth to a hardware wallet , trezor or so , you can stake there and be sure your coins are in your possesion with keys

Is it me or did Coinbase fees go up. Man BOHICA is full effect

For those odd cryptos that may fail, maybe it's best to get your money In and Out in a short time frame?
Darn! Now all of a sudden I'm hungry for a burger.

No clue what 'BarnBridge' is but I love answering 3 stupid questions and having Coinbase send me .00009358 Bitcoin.

Life changing monies!

I'm staking ETH on Coinbase. Don't know if that was a limited time offer? But that would be weird if it was

I see no option to do it, have looked everywhere. From what I found online you had to sign up to a waiting list to do it - but I can’t even find that.

I've been very happy with Kraken. Staking ETH and DOT there.

I know the fed has been bad talking tether lately, so I’m not sure if this is people getting spooked about holding tether, or this is new buyers coming in, but either way, not a bad thing to see today.

Binance is pulling out of Ontario and probably Japan.

Aren't they in China also?

I think they were headquartered in Hong Kong and moved to Malta, but I’m not 100% positive.

I'm curious as to people’s opinion here: (I haven’t had a chance to read through this thread)

I’d love to hear peoples opinion as to whether or not we will see a new all time high this year?

I bought into bitcoin and a selection of quality alts (e.g sol, ada, matic, ksm, dot etc) when bitcoin was in the 40k-42k price range. Bitcoin is significantly down now and the alts are faring much worse. My plan is to HODL until around December. Once December comes around, I’m going to need to withdraw my original capital.

I fear we may have reached the top and are now on the way down for a prolonged bear market. I was so bullish that, by December, I would have made some nice gains, but now have serious doubts. Your thoughts?

It probably depends who you ask. There’s a lot of people here who are sure we’re going to see Bitcoin hit 10k and alts get destroyed. And you have others that are sure that Bitcoin will be 100k by Christmas and alts will be setting new all time highs. Some of those opinions will be based on past trends and current charting data. And some of those opinions will be based on how much or little crypto they currently hold.
I personally think things will turn around this year yet. We still have half of 2021 to go. A lot of signs point towards things turning around (I won’t list them all here at this time though). But I’m also invested, so maybe my view is biased lol.

BTC will be at or above your buy-in price range by the end of August, or I'll send you $100 worth of BTC. I don't think I'll be sending you anything...but, I've been wrong before.

Fingers crossed lol

You don’t come across as a gambling man at all . How many bets have you got going by now ?

Perfect attitude for crypto though

I actually have zero bets going...well besides that fun one I just made. That was basically a bet with myself, just to see how well I'm reading the macro "tea leaves". Of course, any unexpected major event could throw off my prediction.

When I go to Vegas...I don't gamble. Well besides playing some poker...which I do not consider pure gambling. I've made more money in poker then I've ever lost. Besides that, I go to shows and out to eat...never stuck my own dime in a machine.

All good , it was a little poke . was referring to your “ bet “ a few weeks ago with someone claiming btc wouldnt hit 100k 1st Jan 2022 for x amount of btc you’d give them if it would not

Poker is a skill game of measuring your odds , I can fully agree with that

Except, no one ever took me up on that. A lot of chatter, but no actual bet made.

My counterbet still stands.

We're all gamblers on this ride.

(I like how Bitcoin is calmly holding her hand)

Wow...I dunno what's going on with IRON/TITANIUM other than some extreme speculation (of a dead coin that can't be fixed by the developers......???? Yeah.), but I got rid of my 577 million TITAN this morning for all of 74 bucks, assuming the swap transaction went through. Didn't have time to verify fully before I had to leave for work, heh. In the end, I'll end up making next to nothing, and losing nothing, but it was a fun learning experience in doing crypto swaps.

Yeah so for whatever reason my transaction did NOT go through this morning....

Just checked QuickSwap? Apparently the price kept going up all day...so instead of 74 bucks, I just got 135.68. So....more or less 200% gains for me after fees and whatnot. I have no idea why people are buying TITAN, but whatever. I was resigned to the loss of all of it from the moment I bought it, this is a nice surprise.

I love when everything is green... except...

Now we just need everything to essentially double and we can get back to what we were doing.

Just wait...

4 positive days of growth in all my crypto accounts... I like where this seems to be headed.

There's definitely been a lot more positive news and atmosphere lately. Banks are getting on board, businesses are adding it to the portfolios in droves, mining groups in North and South America are stepping up to pick up the slack from less mining groups in China, and making attempts to use greener energy too. Things are looking good for crypto, though I imagine the road will still be a bumpy one for a while yet haha.

For this bull run I am a little "late" in the game. If your statement is somewhat true, which I also believe it could be a little longer for tail end of the bull run, that will "buy" me some time to do more DCA over my next few paychecks.

Now, daycare costs are picking up when school returns. Ugh... this sucks defining your worth in salary pay.

Never let a salary define your worth

Thats right. Your worth is based on the total value of your pinball collection

can I ask a potentially dumb question here? What does it look like from a tech standpoint when a cryptocoin "fails"?
Is there ever an end state? Or does it just essentially get valued so low no one bothers to mine it and/or process transactions of that type, and it enters a kind of "zombie" state? Or is there some infrastructure that gets disabled effectively ending it's existence? Given the distributed nature, is no coin ever "truly" dead?

Interesting...the Elon Doge tweet didn't pump Doge.

https://www.livecoinwatch.com/price/IRONTitaniumToken-_TITAN

Been trying to figure that out for a few weeks now. There's no logical explanation of why this coin is still around, but people are still buying and selling it. What does it do at this point? Hell if I know.

Is there quorum requirements to cryptocoin aside from ledgers? or can it exist in a vacuum? Is an exchange required for it to be 'valid'?

Little boy who cried doge...

Only works a couple times.

Because he wasn't tweeting about Doge... he was tweeting about Baby Doge (yet another dog meme coin).

To the baby moon!

Some decent news for Cardano today:

So does that mean everyone is rich now?

Only if you bought 1,000,000,000,000 pre-tweet Baby Doge.

BarnBridge (BOND) Dropped on Coinbase Earn if anyone wants $3 for free.

Overall it’s been a decent weekend so far.
I’m debating buying a bit of AGIX and a bit of ALGO. Anyone here own either and want to share their thoughts? AGIX I’ve been eying for a while, ALGO is a newer one to my radar.

I’m in on ALGO at $1.13 (unfortunately) but have been considering adding to my position. It’s a native blockchain, decent amount of development and a supply of 3.1 billion. It’s also proof of stake so no one is going to start whining about its power consumption.

You can get 4% on Coinbase. Not as good as something like DOT or SNX, but 4% is 4%. Unless you’re like some people around here and don’t like free money. Just playin’.

I’m in on a few native blockchains. They are something I think can pay off under the right circumstances. All they need is one bad ass DApp that people can’t live without and you’re going to get paid. On the other hand, no one jumps on the band wagon and you’re holding the stick.

I decided to grab a little bit of ATOM. Only $300 worth but it’s another one of those native blockchains like ALGO. I had a few from before and it’s down about 50% from where I bought it so I though I’d grab more.

It earns 5% on Coinbase so I’ll be raking in a whopping $15/year.
