Anyone into bitcoin?

[hayagix]

This funny money is 39K usd this morn. I've been dabbling in this space for years but never expected this kind of action. Anyone who bought or mined it in the early days must be on top of the world if they still have it.

So many of those early keys are lost. There's millions in zombie wallets that will never be retrieved.

BTC has a lot more institutional traction than it did in 2017, hopefully the gains don't crumble.

Been in for a year , Lookin' Good Billy Ray !!! just saw $40 K per coin .................wow !

I do real estate and real estate investment so I don’t mind being aggressive and taking risks. I owned one with the help of a friend years ago. Doubled our money and sold. Too volatile and scared me to death.

All the markets are in the clouds right now for reasons unknown to me, so instead of fighting it I hopped into bitcoin for a couple weeks. Went up 75% in that time. It was just a little gambling money but my one and only crypto currency experience was pleasing. I sold last night.

Been in the crypto space since spring 2017 right before the first melt up. Found out about it from my son who was a senior in HS. His college friend had made a boatload on ETH. I rode my investments up to a 4x gain in months to watch it all fall and see a 50% loss. (Failed to take profits, I was stubborn and stupid) I stuck with it as a believer and I am now back to my 4x. However, I sold half of my positions in BTC, ETH, and LTC and liquidated my XRP, BCH just yesterday to take profit. Learned the hard way the first time. I will wait for a potential dip to try and increase my holding.

I bought Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin in December 2017 right before it all crashed. I decided there was no point in selling at a huge loss and held onto it all this time. Now I'm up which I'm happy about.

Seems like investors are predicting Bitcoin to hit $100k by end of 2021. Might as well keep holding onto it and see what happens.

Ethereum seems to have even more momentum behind it right now. It went from around $730 to just over $1,200 in less than 2 weeks.

XRP has significant upside too , I think it and ETH are the strong growth opps , BTC is overheated and may correct a bit ...........but then again .............??

XRP is the one that the SEC has filed a lawsuit. Coinbase is about to delist it.

just watch it !

Bitcoin Cash has jumped a lot today. Anyone know why? Glad I bought some last week.

 

[hayagix]

I traded my xrp, ltc, and bitcoin cash for btc before this latest upswing. I have a few scraps of others not worth selling ...yet. Altcoins usually follow suit but this time its all about the bitcoin.

I luckily got out of xrp before it crashed. Think twice before buying, it could be worthless if the delisting continues. I'd buy back if it hits a nickel. I could see them moving to Switzerland to avoid future interactions with unfriendly countries. Ethereum did this in its early days.

I got into xrp in its early days. They were giving it away and running folding@home got you more free coins. 3 bucks each a few years ago. There's some crazy money to be made for sure.

 

[heyheyal]

Money to be made but take profits when you can. As I stated I left lots of money on the table. Made it back now, but had I been smart it would be double the 4x I’m at now. I bought XRP at .23 before it made its run up to almost $3, just to hodl and watch it all disappear. I became totally consumed by crypto to the point I was rolling over in my sleep every hour to check prices. You have to accept the volatility and understand it trades 24/7/365. There is no down time. If you can’t afford to lose it then don’t invest it. (Funny considering new cars are just about the worst thing you can put your money into)

Someone could have made a nice chunk of change on Maker. Up $1,100 in one week and over $600 today.

Lots of alts have been doing well since BTC hit 42. Typical flipping. I don’t trade pairs. I stick to usd. Every now and again I will do Btc/eth. I’m a momentum trader. I follow channels.

Everyone finds a method.
I got out of altcoin trading. It got to be too much and I detest spending hours at a computer.
Now I stick with btc. Make a few bucks on the ups and downs. The best money for me is hodling. Less stressful and less demanding. Patience pays.

No doubt crypto can eat you up!!

I dabbled in it once but found it was too hard on the teeth.
