Maxman Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 5 hours ago, Barry McCockinner said: ETH has an entire decentralized finance ecosystem being built on it and has a massive amount of active development going on. DOGE is a meme coin that is a copy of bitcoin made worse (unlimited supply, 10000 coins per minute) with no active development. Pretty big difference. I think you'd do well to take your profits and move them into ETH. I never thought DOGE would be anywhere near it is in price now though, so maybe I'm just way off. I love the prospects for eth long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it worth the risk? Even if you can double your money, you can't afford to buy enough to make it matter that much. I remember listening to Max scream about buying when I could have bought 50 or even 100 coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then sometime in 2018/9 Binance announced they were discontinuing service to US residents, so I consolidated everything into ETH and LTC in coinbase and I've been holding since. I've since come to find out, my brother in law still has a binance account and didn't lose access, lol. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a significant amount of money in coins it's best to store them with a hardware wallet and not on an exchange. There is a lot of history of people losing their coins and fortunes by storing them on exchanges. Coinbase has a very solid history and reputation, but I still wouldn't do it. They can get hacked. They can have a disgruntled employee or greedy owner run off with all the coins. They can refuse to give you your coins for whatever reason they see fit. All of these things have happened at other exchanges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, it's grown quite a bit, so I'll need to reevaluate. Thanks again! How bullish are you on the market? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Value right now 2/10/2020 (includes all splits, etc. ) $9,843.52 anyone who invested 2 years ago has lost nearly half their investment. Of course, had someone invested at or near the beginning it would be a different story. Thanks for the financial advice. But is premised on hope and prayer. I hope you educated yourself after this post because a year later it is $57,000 on it's way to $60,000 plus. Bitcoin will reach $100,000 and I would not bet against it reaching $500,000 in next 5 -10 years. Bitcoin historically goes up an down on its way UP. Also in 2017 the price was driven up by inexperienced speculators the price was not sustainable. Since that time institutional investors and other companies like PayPal, CashApp, Venmo and many others now allow you to purchase bitcoin. Mass Adoption is almost here. You don't want to be one of the last folks to get on board... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gangrene Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Will Bitcoin remain range bound in consolidation mode for the summer? Death cross approaching, some investors heading back into fiat on the sidelines until a confirmation to the upside, others keeping their fingers crossed on a btc surge next week following a short term drop. Back story; More crypto whales are moving their btc from exchanges into storage suggesting a bottom might be in despite the real possibility of short-term downside.

I think it's a great accumulation point. of course, it's more fun when the price is going up every f'n day. Once it crosses 42 and holds the next wave up could be huge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
