  • I've got some money I won't die if I lose. I'm waiting for it to drop below 5000 before I buy in.

      I won't touch any of it because of a lack of intrinsic value and I also think it is all a scam because of lack of regulation of the exchanges.
      I won't touch it for a lot of reasons. It is not a currency and there's huge regulation risk. One of the main reasons is that I have stay at home moms who pitch make up on Facebook telling the whole world how great it is and how they should invest. Then go back after a one of the huge crashes and see that they deleted all those posts, lmao.

      Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

      You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

          If people can't do their own research, they deserve what they get imo. I love and hate the hysteria around crypto at the same time. It provides me opportunities to buy, and it provides me opportunities to sell, both creating opportunities to make a profit. But with that said, there's a lot of people (including some in here) that shouldn't be offering advice because they don't have the first fucking clue what they are talking about.

          Just like with anything else, if you're taking investment advice from facebook or Twitter, you're a special kind of stupid.

            Your attitude is the correct one to have. I.E. you aren't so much an investor as you are a gambler when it comes to these crypto currencies. There is nothing wrong with gambling, I do it often with options in the stock market. When you have your gambling hat on your mindset has to be different in comparison to when you have your investor hat on.

              Yeah, it's pretty much fun money for me. I've put a grand total of $1100 in since September. I've wasted far more and gotten far less in return on other stupid shit, so... This really is gambling for me. Closer than a casino, with far less hassle and the bonus that I don't have to deal with people like at a casino.

              Definitely not taking a second mortgage out on the house, or emptying my 401k just to buy in to the hype. Anyone doing that DEFINITELY deserves what they get. Maroons.

                1) What intrinsic value does the dollar have? Gold? (Google that)
                2) The decentralization of crypto is a strength. While I agree SOME regulation could save the consumer from themselves, I question the regulators who allowed the last conventional market crash. And thw one before it, and the one before...

                Just my .02
                Dollars and gold have no intrinsic value. Those two things along with cryptos are currencies. The difference is that I don't have to worry about waking up tomorrow with a dollar or gold being worth 50% less. Sure over the next 20 years the dollar or gold may lose that kind of value but not overnight.

                The lack of regulation of cryptos seems fine to me. But I am not talking about regulation of the currency, I am talking about the "brokers" who trade it. There are going to be a lot of people who realize that numbers on a computer screen don't equal dollars in a pocket before this is all over.

                    Valid points. Like others, this is play money for me. Lose it all or win big. Either way, I'm playing.

                        It baffles me because statements like this are based on absolutely nothing.

                          • It could be worse..

                            You remember the stories John use to tell us about the the three chinamen playing Fantan? This guy runs up to them and says, "Hey, the world's coming to an end!" and the first one says, "Well, I best go to the mission and pray," and the second one says, "Well, hell, I'm gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores," and the third one says "Well, I'm gonna finish the game." I shall finish the game, Doc.

                              If you don't like the lack of regulation now, just wait lol. That lack of regulation of the exchanges is going to get a lot worse once several decentralized exchanges come online. I think there may be one up now, can't remember. But there are several cryptos whos mission is the creation of a decentralized exchange.




                              Ain't skeered. Long term hold.


                              My .02 - If you shit your pants every time something like this happens, then yeah crypto is definitely not for you. Most veterans will cite balls of steel as a prerequisite. But like another member said, I never invested anything I couldn't stand to lose. I'll still be golden if crypto disappears off the face of the earth tomorrow.

                                You've never looked at a crypto chart have you.

                                Sure, its happened. If you're looking or talking about some kind of a 100% sure deal, look elsewhere. Also let me know when you find it, I'll want in. But as a general rule, yeah. They don't generally go back down to rock bottom prices once they see an initial surge. Seriously, go to coinmarket cap and just look at some charts and timelines. See if you were laughing in ignorance.
