Crypto Currency Thread

[SDarks]

Following the 'What is Ethereum' thread I wanted to start a thread for anyone that has interest or currently investing/trading in crypto currency's to discuss news and holdings and also for anyone with questions about crypto currency.

Ill kick things off with my current holds -

BTC (bitcoin)
SRAT (Stratis)
STEEM (STEEM)

With the latest Bitcoin news this should be a good week for crypto gains

[SDarks]

I wish i had bought more BTC & Stratis last week also!

I will most likely buy more during the next pull back, I'm quietly confident that we will see $5,000.00 Bitcoin this year.

Thoughts on Antshares?

As above I use local bitcoin and have made a good contact on there who can get me better rates. Normally pay a 5% premium on there.

I've only been into crypto for about 4 weeks with no previous trading experience so a steep learning curve having bought eth at £200ea!!

Then got into Ans which i sold at the latest pump. Put the profits into strat and then bought back the same volume of ans when it dumped today.

Also got a tiny amount of golem.

Anyone using hard storage? Ive got a ledger nano s on order but it doesnt reckon it will be here till mid september!

Myself and a friend share a larger nano s Stratis edition. Very very good peice of kit, worth the wait.

Who ever has steem or steem dollars on bittrex should sell it, send btc to poloniex and buy it there as it is much cheaper right now! Hurry people will catch on soon and it will level.

[SDarks]

Forgot to mention you can't do it the other way round as the bittrex steem wallet is down.

NEO is doing quite well

I'm looking to get into DASH, I can't decide whether it seems overbought atm or not. Any other opinions?

I was told by a friend to buy NEO when it was $5.00 a coin... i didn't listen

I've decided to take a punt on ripple and picked up 200.

What are the views on Ledger Nano S to hold coins securely? I've only got about £1,300 worth of various BTC/ ETH/ LTC/ XRP so £70 on a wallet is 5% of the coins current value.

Ledger Nano S is an awesome bit of kit, very secure and even if you lose it or it gets destroyed you can recover your coins though the word keys.

Im not sure if you can even buy one at the moment, the back order list was so long that they were selling on eBay for £200 +

Does anybody know what is driving this latest increase?

Looks like a few massive orders placed on Kraken, rather than lots of smaller trades, for the big jumps... but I'm no expert at reading the charts.

I cashed out a little while ago... missed out on some nice new toys with these latest increases. Oh well.

Probably the chinese rumours https://news.vice.com/story/bitcoin-hits-new-high-...

Just a heads up for anyone looking to make a quick buck.

Stratis Master nodes are due for release today, price should rise after the announcement and continue to do so as a lot of the surplus coins will be purchased to run the master nodes.

[SDarks]

Does anyone hold any Wagerr (WGR) ? I’m looking at getting some, currently on the waves exchange.. looking at thier road map they are parting ways from the waves exchange after the 15th of Jan which would mean a better exchange.

Would like to know thoughts before I take the plunge.

Thanks

Banks are not giving anything for free. They take your hard earned, lend the same pound to five different people at the same time (creating debt out of thin air).

Ignorance is bliss and all that.

Anyone getting a bad feeling from crypto now, similar feeling to hitting the 20k peak a few years ago.

Money has been locked away as there's nothing to do with it, once restrictions ease, holidays and bars open.. could we see a significant transfer back to fiat?

The main difference between 2017 and today is that there are more institutional holders of Bitcoin using it as a value store. With money printers at V max and inflation looming the last thing I would want to hold is fiat.
