el_bandido Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 You will profit for sure but hardly a retirement fund! For a grand I have always and will always place it in Alt coins. Agreed, but if someone is coming on to a car forum saying "I have a grand and want to make money", I think a safe bet like Ethereum is better advice (on the assumption they don't know much about crypto). If he'd said "I'm looking to diversify my portfolio and I've got £1000 laying around to do so", I'd probably have recommended some higher risk alts.

and1c Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 You know some of them that you mention aren't 'cheap' dude? The price of a 'coin/token' is completely irrelevant, it's the overall marketcap that's important, nothing else, each ripple would be $5k if the supply was the same as btc, ada $1050, bargain now? fcuk no. Currently a lot of them are massively overvalued considering they have no working product - though you could say that about most of in the top 100. Personally i'd be considering some of these .. Neo, omg, fct, strat, ltc, eth, xmr, zcash and btc - you should always have some btc due to market cycles and it being the altcoin boss. I meant cheap to purchase, yes of course I know about market cap, I always look at available supply and the same reason I think Ripple is a joke. In profit making terms with £1000, alt coins give the best chance with the highest risk in my opinion. And thats all this is opinion, as most of the altcoin profits are made on ICOs, hype and speculation considering most real world applications of these supposed clever cryptos are not in place yet. Agreed el bandido - That is a far safer investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it certainly hasn’t spiked like everyone seems to be saying.....from what I can see anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 It rose 5.2% today Aye immediate after falling through the floor. It then dropped again immediately after the rise. So over 24H it has barely moved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I'd be careful with ripple, there isn't a great deal of love for it in the crypto community, too many red flags for me too. The daily charts say that ripple is done, it may rise a little from where it is now but ultimately it is going to slowly bleed out, to 10k sats at best. The only thing that will change this is some big news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Yeah I’ve only left a small amount of ripple in on the off chance it moons. I bailed out a while back. Just hoping people don’t invest too much after hearing of a spike that was in the middle of an equally large drop that’s kept a bit quieter.

Sheefa Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Don't disagree although sadly the majority of proposed partnerships have proved either fake or evaporated and it is still a coin heavily promoted by the financial institutions Bitcoin originally aimed to circumnavigate.

and1c Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Its not fake, its heavily plagiarized. Have you actually read it fully rather than relying off some Guru on a facebook group?

It looks sketchy to me..Yes I have and clearly you haven't. A lot of crypto tech does overlap. Did you see the note about language barriers and translational problems too? Anyway if you're not invested in TRX who cares. I'll be HOLDING with many, many others who believe in it and the tech thanks rather than just a Facebook Guru. [emoji23] Also watch this. I think there's a reason the whales are piling in and blocking the positive price movement. They're forcing typical holders to sell up and lose faith. I for one won't do that.

Style Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Topped up my TRX stash to 15,500 and going to forget about it now. I think I'll add some more ADA, XLM and ETH as well for cold storage and try my hand at some trading with a small pot that's left over.

Make sure you get on board the NEO train too given you generate GAS for holding in Neon wallet and that is a genuine HODL coin with 4 figure potential.

Sheefa Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 It sure has mate, extremely resilient. Currently sitting on 108 although I bought in around £25 which helps [emoji16] you generate gas too so essentially a cash generator as free additional crypto!

Marty Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Neo is a top performer, i bought 3figures worth of neo back in may/june for peanuts, hindsight, i should have bought more as i knew it was going to be big, definitely stick it in the wallet to earn Gas - no brainer. Not feeling your love for Trx, i'd be careful with that one too Edited January 15, 2018 by Marty (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I'd also be very careful with TRON, looks like the founder has moved a huge chunk of the "locked up" TRX onto Binance. Not sure if this news is legit, but if it is, I'd be very worried about an exit scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
