Hi all!

I have a near-hostage Poloniex acct, which does not allow withdrawals, pending some KYC.

The balances currently are as follows:


POSITIONS as follows:



What trades would you commit?

You are a braveheart when shorting Etherium.
They are speaking it all over now - even in the university of Helsinki.
The good thing about Etherium is that it has a strong emphasis on marketing and therefore I have faith into it for long haul. On the other hand, there might be a correction in Etherium at some point.

Dash is also interesting from this perspective as they realize the money comes from adaption and adaption only and therefore more people need to be aware of it.

Contrary to that, I have significiantly reduced my exposure on Monero during the pumps and I am not planning to rebuy unless the price will correct lower.
I do not say Monero cannot go slightly higher from here but I am saying the probability of 10 X is very unlikely any time soon (in terms of bitcoins). 2016 was awesome for Monero, probably it will never see similar growth anymore. The attitude towards user adaption in Monero community is something that concern me a lot. They don't seem to understand that people just do not come out of nowhere to buy Moneros + some serious PR issues from the CEO of Monero (Fluffy Pony).
Currently my holdings are mainly in bitcoins (+ some fiat and some gold bullion).

Ripple has also its strength (centrilized party who most likely wants it to grow + interest from the old school banking sector).
Litecoin might be a good bet or not, kinda tossing a coin.
Doge might pump and you make some money from it, I am not sure when it happens though.

Don't you support PEPECASH anymore? Have you sold them?

"PolloMierda" OROBTC would just get out of all of Alts, because I think that BTC has first field advantage for a long time.  I have seen very few merchants (um, ONE) accepting Monero for example.

You could always buy Gold Coins, and hide them deep, deep, deep in some place you know well.  Have enough gold?  Try platinum (can buy with BTC) or even IRIDIUM (my favorite, for sentimental reasons).  Can't get iridium in coins though (that I know of).

Besides, if I were to recommend a trade, you should do the opposite, you would be a winner 80% of the time. *



* No!  Do not invite me over to play poker either.  I suck in poker...   :)

There is a typo in your XMR balance. Monero in not yet 1BTC.

But you can delete whole thread anyway since there is already a post about it:

:P

I'd sell XRP. No fundamentals because it's not really needed at the center of it's platform. And the fact that you have to trust ripple to not slowly dump their tokens into the market, which they do, dilluting your tokens. Not to mention they can freeze assets, it's happened before.

Edit: also etc is a sell. But that one could go from 100mil cap to 3billion and then back to 100mil, since it has pumper barry.

You are right. I do not support it anymore at least on current prices.... It went too viral and I managed to rake some bitcoins out of it.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to make enough bitcoins to afford to buy these expensive Moneros so perhaps I need to find the next coin that is going to be pumped.

this is crazy good luck withdrawing

LTC price probably won't drop much right now.
125,891 BTC volume in 24H (mostly asian markets)
Im assuming a lot of traders are using LTC to transfer funds or someone is accumulating in anticipation of another price jump.

If you made money by shorting ETH you have deserved your prize.
Shorting a bullish coin like that requires iron balls.
The advantage of ETH is the fact that it has a nice volume.

Personally I am following Verge since I see a huge growth potential in it but the fact that the price of Verge has been rising makes it a little bit hard to buy since you think all the time it will drop and cannot buy ATM.
Verge is almost mined so it makes it appealing for long term investors as the inflation is limited. It is anon coin with all the nice wallets etc. Basically finished product but very cheap, in fact, severely underpriced (the coinmarketcap rank is currently 63).
We will see if I will ever can have any meaningful position in it.

I've seen people mention Verge multiple times, yet it's all speculation. I agree it COULD have huge growth potential, or it could just fall into obscurity and never raise much more than it is (I've been a bag holder in that situation more times than I'd like to admit).

There's very little information about Verge itself, a roadmap for future goals/development, a whitepaper explaining the purpose, etc.

Honestly I think people are just getting ancy with BTC and ETH going sideways and they're just hedging their portfolios with anything that looks moderately profitable.

I think Verge is still pretty obscure.
When it comes to anon. coins people think first Dash... The minority mentions also Monero but not many even is aware of Verge. Therefore a coin like this could be a wild card. In crypto we have seen these things before.
I managed to get a few coins around the current price despite it has been rising quite violently. My current position is pretty modest though (represents only like 1-2 % of my crypto portfolio). If it drops I might adjust the allocation back in case the drop is due to some profit taking reasons etc.
The worst case scenario is that I lose 1-2 % of my crypto, the better scenario is that this increases my crypto portfolio many times and I will finally become as rich as Mr. Z'charja.

Basically all Verge needs now is community and users. Wallets are ready already.
Therefore, the potential of Verge is the market cap of Monero (at least if not Dash').

Verge have had 3 pumps (the current one being the third) since the launch. Each of them giving higher highs... Just saying...

$DMD $CRW $INSN $DGB $XVG $STRAT $WAVES $STEEM $ARK $WINGS $UBIQ

Nice amounts of coins!

So you can pay the folks you owe money back, can you?
