I've been in on VEN for a few weeks now - it's done well for me. Definitely wish I'd bought more.

Keep an eye on the market over the next couple days. Cointelegraph is sayingvyhey expect another round of selling when bitcoin gets to 13200 levels and to drop to similar levels as the last drop. Possibly further. Huge opportunity to increase holdings if timed correctly.

They nailed the last drop and anyone that followed their recommendations increased their holdings quite a bit.

I hope it goes to 15000 and drags GBTC with it. I can't wait for the big split Monday!!!!!!

John McAfee admitted his own phone was full of apps that leached from his transactions (take his opinions for what they're worth.) There's a vid out there where he states his new phone idea was based off how he was pissed after finding out he'd lost 10's of thousands in bitcoin transactions...

John McAfee also pays prostitutes to poop in his mouth. So there's that.

My mind always wants to pull out the money because I am not patient. It definately cultivates the skill of patience.

Looks like a bit of a crash this morning. I bought into Eth at 1020 planning to ride it up to around 1080 and bank a little profit. Saw it drop to 1000 and a wall beginning to form so I jumped out. Looks like it's about to drop below 950. Timing the jump back in point is always the hard part.

Has anyone here tried using CryptoHopper. It sounds like you just assign you account to it and it daytrades your Crypto using buy/sell signals .

This shit is WAY to volatile for my aging ass.

Buying high and selling low is a common strategy used. I think it fools the people making profits into thinking they're doing something wrong.

The current trend has to do with the new futures. Hold on. It will pick up soon.

still holding pretty well no emotion as the shit has been down so much no longer hurts to look at. Especially I am not going to take it out until it game changes something in my life. Paying off my car - new suit new something.

Yeah, I think this is very valid. I've seen a very interesting wall in place in Eth the past few days at the 1040 range. I think really attempting to keep it down in a short position. I feel like they'll try and drive it down a bit more until 1/26 when they can cash in on their short futures and then we'll start to see the rise again.

Is something called 'tether' being used to prop up bitcoin while sharps bail? https://tonyarcieri.com/the-tether-conundrum

Interesting read. It's hard for me to imagine that a) they really have $1.7B in hard cash reserves and b) that anyone would invest money in a blockchain vehicle whose value is tied to the USD, when they could just own USD. Smells very ponzi-ish, and that ponzi could be what's propping up BTC at $10-$11k.

When everyone is crowing about how much money they are making, you are dealing with a bubble. My guess is that the only people who will end up making any substantial real-world money on this have already sold.
