DOGE is around 25 cents. I had a look back at the chart from a few years ago and that's basically a 120x return. eek All for some meme coin.

Last night I offloaded about half my QTUM, 25% of my DASH and ~20% of my Stellar holding so have a bit of cash to throw at something. Only DASH is higher this morning. My DOT staking reward came in this morning (~0.3 DOT. This week i've made 0.75 DOT from staking which is something I guess - wish i'd staked it earlier tbh)

With the way the market is, I may hang on to the cash for a few days and wait for a day where things drop 10%. I see XRP has been going down a little bit but can't stomach buying it over $1.
DOGE is crazy. For a joke coin it's done incredibly well. I can't ever go into though, cos principles. I may regret that (already do I guess)

I am the same. At the end of the day, it's about money for me, but I can't rationalise putting money into something which was built with the intention of being a joke which a bunch of kids + Elon Musk ramp for a bit of fun to see where they can get it.

Apologies if this has already been covered but I can't quite get my head around the wallets. I use Binance and can quite easily see the value of my assets, PnL, etc, but do I need something like Trust Wallet as well to 'store' my crypto, or am I ok to just leave it on Binance? I assume this is only if I actually want to spend my crypto? scratchchin

General opinion is that it is prudent to move your crypto into a wallet away from the Exchange in case anything happens / they get hacked / pull a scam etc.

I was always very hesitant to leave funds on Kraken and moved them into a hardware wallet. Saying that, I have been a bit more relaxed about it and left sizeable amounts on the exchange recently. Binance is pretty reputable so they probably aren't going to pull an Mt. Gox / Exit scam and disappear with your money.

But if you have no intention to trade on a regular basis and would like to hold the crypto, it would be sensible to move them to a secure wallet.

I've been having a look at some of the st coins on Kraken I can trade. Some potential contenders are MLN (Enzyme Finance) currently just under $88 or Curve.

I haven't done my research and it's tempting to get in on the dip but might sit this one out and load up on something more 'reputable'.

Edit: bought some more QTUM paperbag

XRP off the 200 EMA ?scratchchin

Coinbase and Binance are now billion dollar companies. A wide scale hack like Mt Gox would be company ending. I'm as confident in Binance as I am in some banks!

Maybe so. But there's still a risk of your own computer being breached.

I sold my Doge a couple of months back at 20% profit, when the hype train seemed to have run out of steam. This current frenzy definitely looks like a pump-and-dump.

I bagged a quick 5.5% on XRP. First time i've touched it over $1. Probably going to moon to $2 within a few days.

Think i'll sit on my hands for a bit now.

DOGE has always been a pump and dump.

I made a bit buying and selling a few weeks ago but like you had left it alone for a while. Gone back in as - a lot of my other alts are currently down and have been all week. I think people are selling alts to get back into bitcoin ETH and DOGE.

WTF is going on with DOGE?

Surely the price is going to crash anytime soon?

Currently a game of who dare hold on the longest.

DOGE is #6 spot just behind Tether and close to overtaking it.

Edit: just passed Tether. 43 cents. $20bn more and it will overtake XRP.

Most coins are.

DOGE about to hit 200% up in a day. Crazy stuff.

Alot of my friends are putting money into doge at the moment, getting sucked in because the price has sky rocketed.

I wonder how long they will hold out for before they try and cash in.

It's crazy, up nearly 200% in just one day. Every coin I track on Binance is red except for DOGE and QTUM!

You track QTUM?

Any idea what they do? hehe
