Converted 9000 Ripple XRP @ $2.84 to Bitcoin yesterday after the Coinbase statement. Because of the rise in Bitcoin since I made the conversion, this allows me to pull all of my original $26.5K crypto investment out, plus about $1K in profits. Leaves me with 1.1 Bitcoin, 10 Ethereum, 11.1K Ripple XRP, and 20K Verge XVR for "free". Playing with house money from now on.

I am in on XRB as well. But I recently went in pretty heavy on request. It's gonna be a long hold but I've read good things about it.

I may be mistaken, but you don't have to pay taxes on your original stake - just capital gains after that.

Coinbase has been a sort of king maker since it's one of the only fiat exchanges. People expect that cryptos get big bounces once they're on coinbase, and trade on it. Part of Ripple's rise was on rumors that it would be listed on coinbase. As it started to overheat, coinbase made a cryptic announcement that they are not adding new coins "at this time." whatever that means. Coinbase will be adding new coins eventually, and it's hard to imagine that Ripple won't be one of them. If it is, great. If it isn't, it doesn't really matter. Bitcoin Cash shows that the coinbase bounce is just that: a bounce, and then correction back to normalcy.

The coins are starting to cool off. That's normal.
I dumped my TRON position last night and took big profits at $.25 from where I bought in at $.04. I'll get back into TRON once it finds a new support line. If it goes up and I miss the boat, I'm okay with that. I put all my TRON profits into Verge for now. It's been holding firm at $.16. It didn't get the bounce it deserved from the Wraith launch because they were a day late and they had poor communication. No matter, it works. I expect it to bounce to $.50 at some point. When that happens, I'll have a decision to make. Verge coin has a lot of enemies. It is a high risk, high reward coin. I could lose big on this play. I could win big too. Have fun out there.

XRB won the Binance vote, so will be listed there shortly. Should be a boon, but we'll see - it may have spiked on the rumor already. Still think that one has good long term viability. |

I don't plan on selling what I have until I retire. I guess we'll see how that end up working out.
