Bitcoin Forum

In the past 6 months I´d been studying crypo to jump in the market. I´m a longtime trader of stocks and options, over 10yrs, but crypo it´s an entire new ecosystem and should keep evolving, growing and it seems a correct moment to jump in steadly now, after this correction seems over. I think it will resume falling in the next days and maybe BTC will find support on USD 8/7k area which will ultimatelly provoke supports for altcoins likewise...

I was firstly considering Ripple, but my study in XPR devired to Stellar. After all my reading, I think the current discount of XLM to XPR should not be that large as it is, not to say they should at least be close in MKT Cap terms.

I will buy Stellar and hold it for long. Impossible to say where the price support should found ground, if USD 0,30 will hold or should it slide to 0,20/0,15. I really see this baby at least reaching 1,00 again, and if it succeed to broke this up, should move like Ripple and achieve 3,00 quickly.

Usually penny stocks has a relationship between some numbers, like 1, 3 and 5 as primary targets when it begins  ( those are prime numbers, have also some relation with fibo sequence). I think the development of a price building for crypo should follow such pattern.

All in for XLM!

Whatever you do, don't go all in on any one coin. That is literally the silliest thing you can do, and you should protect yourself from massive swings by diversifying!

Agree completely. Invest in multiple altcoins not just one.

I meant I will build a position on Stellar, but of course I will not put all my funds on it. If I find another good risk x return opportunity, I can convert more funds to a new coin. Agree with you, but this position will be just a small a share of all my investments.

I simply can´t find anything better in crypo universe than a position in Stellar now, considering the development of its projects, IBM partnership and soon to be announced new projects as well.

One thing I have learned through my time in crypto never say loyal  to a coin,  diversity is a concept you should adopt, although there are exceptions situations, like if you bought like from ico and still hold till now,  

I think the people who went all in on bitcoin will not share that opinion with you. :D
All kidding aside you're right.

I like XLM but its one of those coins with such a huge supply, its never gonna reach an high value say $100

25% of my portfolio is XLM, so I want it to succeed. Everyone is convinced their coin is the most undervalued and will be king in 2018

Their funds to invest in a single coin is not worth it ,you can lose everything is a market . You need to take for themselves the investment portfolio and break it down into parts . It would be better for you

Stellar definitely is a good coin, but do you really need to put all your eggs in one basket? You should better diversify your portfolio

good for you, friend. this one may will be a big coin because it's quite popular. when many people talk about it then it'll be the chance for the coin to have higher price, not lower at least.  ;)

I just wish to mention that today Stellar has been pumped due to mobius.network ICO only and too many participants was disappointed with different problems on XLM part mostly.

It will be wise to spread your portfolio. Do not just invest all in XLM. Thus is crypto and not stock. Even in stock market I am not sure it is wise to put ur total portfolio on a stock.

XLM is my biggest hold right now. This is one of the best coins and ecosystems out there. They are partnered with IBM and have banks looking into their products everyday.

I find not important to read whole topic, but I have read last sentence in your post:
I have to say that going all in in one(irrelevant which one) altcoin is not a good idea, and very very risky one. It is much better to spread your funds over few altcoins.

You would think that a "long time trader of stocks and options" would automatically understand this concept.  But, maybe he's going crypto because he wasn't successful in the stock market.

Just to be cristal clear, when I say I´m going all in it means in the way I´ll build a position solely on this crypo. But I have a lot of funds elsewhere, in many types of investments that could be converted anytime to another crypo. I also can simply put a stop loss on XLM and sell part after a run (if it happens) to jump in another crypo. I´m just saying that, right now, since I don´t have anything on the crypo ecosystem, I´ll jump in all in in Stellar, even though this would be a very small share over my all investments. If I understant any other crypo could have a bull run, I can diversify and buy on it, got it?  ;)

Although the Stellar has the great perspective and it's technology has some kind of usage towards the development of the world investing in just 1 altcoin is not recommended. If the stellar rises in value it can bring you a nice amount of the profit in a couple of months but ask yourself what will happen if the things go wrong. You will lose all the investment that you made into just one altcoin and you could split that investment.
Try to make more thorough research and invest in something else too. I am supporting the Stellar but I wouldn't go all in for just one altcoin.

i got it, my friend. but you see, you will see someone who slipped/not read your post, for whatever reasons, a lot of times in this forum.
even the last reply below your post is saying, again, the same 'wise advice" for you. so bear with it my friend, or better, lock this thread as more people will try to say the same thing over and over again.

btw, 10 years of stocks and options trading is quite incredible for me, hopefully that experience will bring you success in this crypto world too.

Spreading your coins is very good idea.
I recently put a LOT in to a particular coin and have regretted it about a week later, but all a learning curve, who knows, you might be right to pick that heavily.

I think not all in one for anything. Remember do not put all your resources in one possibility. Divide the investment into many places according to your plan.

I expect the same movement XRP did, with XLM!  They are quite similar indeed, and i also believe it can reach $2 or $3 in 2018. Will have to wait and see how the developers handle it and make us invest in this.

I Think stellar is a safe bet for long hold for a year for example. If your investment into it is considerable then it will be really profitable at the EOY.

Nicely answered.
Yah, its true we shouldn't invest in only 1 or 2 coins, We should focus at least 10 best coins to invest.
And yes, I bought few k XLM @November @very low rate, invested in others too.
I am not sure if XLM can cross 5$ or not, but at present price i am still gainer. whatever if it can reach 2-5$ , I will hold for long term.

This has a good sense. When investing, looking into the total supply matters. As per xlm with more than 17 billion circulating supply, even reaching 10$ per coin is almost impossible to me coz it would mean it will surpass some other good coins' current marketcap.

Although XLM has good prospects but should not invest all in it. Nothing is 100% safe.

It would be wise to spread your portfolio but yeah, it's wiser to buy XLM than XRP. I can't imagine how Ripple holders feels now that from $3 it is on $1.5 nowadays but yes that's life if you're a holder I guess you won't really care about the loss and just check your port after a couple of months. I bought XLM at FOMO price so I will still hold on to it, have faith, and wait for it to rise up.

Stellar was founded to be a non-profit as far as I can remember. Why'd invest in a non-profit organization in the first place?  :-\

Kraken has finally distributed the Stellar it owed to people from June 2017. See the following thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Stellar/comments/7qiex0/kraken_finally_distributed_the_stellar_airdrop/

You need a minimum of 300 to sell on their platform though.

Never invest in just one project , that's my belief when invest. All in XLM, you have the chance to get a big profit , also you can easily lose all your money.

I couldn't say much about Stellar & Ripple, their developer is untrustable & seems too shady to me.

XLM is a good choice, also take a look at BAT.

This is one of the most reliable projects. I invested a large amount in this coin and I am fully confident that I will get a very good benefit from this investment. And I like this coin due to cheap transactions.

But you forgot that BTC works like a benchmark (at least nowadays). If it rises, the altcoins tend to rise. If it falls, the altcoins tend to follow. If it crashes, like this week...well, you got it!

If you see BTC going to USD 100k, for example, you can expect that altcoins tend to go up much more from current levels. Of course not all will follow up or down along the time, but anyway I think you got my idea.

Currently,   BTC has MK Cap of USD 200 Bn, with a USD 11,5k value. Multiple that by 10....USD 2 Trillion in MK Cap...

And so what? FX daily trade market accross the globe is much much much larger than USD 2 Trillion. Most people don´t see this already and think MK Cap works like a wall....if a crypo has a large MK cap than it can´t go further. Or it can´t go beyond BTC MK cap...

Why not?

Everything is new on this environment and MK Cap isn´t a barrier, soon this will be perceived...

Companies has a MK Cap and makes sense to compare them, because you can evaluate a company by its cash flow projection (one of the possible ways) and as such you can compare if a company is over or underevaluated compared to a peer. But crypo is another class...some think it  like a commodity, others like a currency.

I just see it as  a new class, and it has its own way to be evaluated. For sure a lot of the coins we see today will disappear. Maybe the coin we will all use in the future doesn´t even exist today. But we can expect some coins to have more projects to bet and this would translate in more adoption by the market and as such its value would rise.

Even if the market understand no crypo can surpass BTC MK Cap (which I think it´s stupid...), we all must expect this to rise along the time and this would allow more price rise for alt coins.

I am also a big fan of Stellar and wanted to fill the bags long term. However my stack has been sold on a stop order during a dump and now I have to wait for a dip to enter again. Even if long term, I don't like to buy near ATH.

I would want to see the price go up but it seems like they like to play too much with their airdrops. They should stop doing that.

are you sure by going all-in into a coin ? I don't see why wouldn't you spread you money and invest in different projects to have extra chances to get nice profit because even if 4 of 5 fails that 5h coin will bring you a lot of profit in the next years at least this is how I aproach cryptos.

If you were a (successful) long-term trader in stocks you wouldn't be advocating or even thinking about going all in on any single asset...

at least mostly to investment property. this is just in case when all the coin prices are down again. Just a suggestion anyway.
All are returned to you. And what I agree has some coins

This is exactly what I thought too dude  ;D It will not reach so high prices and you guys should be careful and you should never ever go all in at one coin because it is to risky!

I´m not considering to put all my funds in one crypo. I just said I will start in this environment going for Stellar instead of splitting. I will just invest a small share of my whole cash. Along the time I can simply sell other assets and put funds in another crypo, or even sell Stellar (part or all) and go for a better project. I simply can´t find anything better ATM in terms of project, partnership and technology than Stellar.

And I just heard about it because of my research on Ripple. Stellar puts Ripple on the ground, simply because the future might be not being partner of the banks (who knows...just the way I see...).

The banks might not even exist in the future like they are based today.

Everything looks so odd now, about this forecasts, but do you imagine how odd was a guy telling another person about telephones, power/light, TV, TV with colors, internet, smartphones (would us think to use large and heavy phones instead of the shiny ones of Motorola and Nokia from 15 yrs ago)?

Everything new is shoking...I see the financial world crashing once more and fiat currencies suffering, once more. Crypo can protect us against inflation.

in my opinioon XLM will not go really high, the volume is too important, the last days pumping will not go further, at first this was a joke coin, don(t think it will go above 1$

As far as I'm concerned, this coin and Ripple have the same developers. And if this is so, then it is entirely possible that the coin will rise.

If you believe in Stellar then you should definitely build a position on it. Hope you have a good time in the crypto world.

Airdrops have made the user base adoption wider - which is something which increases value for a coin. In fact, I am surprised that Stellar is keeping these levels of price even in these turbulent times where BTC and most other alts are struggling. This is an impressive symptom of strength.

i myself also moved from XRP to XLM.
almost 40% of my portfolio.

I agree but i am not all in for stellar.
I am in around 40% and will add more if price drops. But i love Stellar! and will hodl for years.

Spreading is al good and dandy, problem is you get spread too thin and even if you win, you win peanuts. Select 2 max 3 coins you think have a role to play in the future society and all-in on them.

Never put all your eggs in one basket, it is better to diversify your investment. Putting all your money in one coin is really risky, unless you are prepared to lose all.

Very well said. One of the biggest mistake that newbie trader does is that they put all their money into one coin. Despite I really like Stellar and I'm sure it will be profitable, I advice you to put just some of your money into that.

That's a big dare! I am unfortunately almost with no Stellar (just a 1000 pieces) but I am there waiting like a predator for a drop to grab a more consistent bag.

It is a big risk to put all your money in one coin , even though you believe in it. But even when the tech and the team looks good there is a lot that can happen. So even if you believe in it a lot i would recommend to diversify enough.

Now that Stellar has a bit corrected from it enduring ATH levels, it becomes less daring to start accumulating more coins before it takes off again.

XLM has a potential to overtake XRP

yeah I think multiple coin  with small investment isn't good. triple coins is OK. If you can find three coins that has good prospect  is better than many coin you invest. I hold eth, MNX and Dentacoin. I think there are some coins that are growing steadily. Stellar is good coin too but diversification is better.

Guys Stellar vs Cardano, which one has better future?

UHM I think you are absolutely wrong about that.
First I invest all of my satoshi .006 to be exact all in for TRX , and buy at 200 satoshi. on december my investment went triple when TRX hit the 2k Spot .18ish USD, silliest thing NO! as a matter of fact I earned so much for TRX and now as of its price down I am continuosly buying.
IN XLM yo bro you pic a good coin
XLM TRX FUN ETN XVG XBY DCN is what I am holding and watching for now and I know they have a future for long term

One of the things about stellar is that it is very cheap comparing with other coins in the top15 (except Tron/TRX) but as always I won't prefer to go All In because it is too risky and fortunately there are many other coins which worth investing if not experimenting a bit.
I've been watching Stellar and Ripple too and saying the truth as far as I know stellar is funded by someone in the team of Ripple so I think these two coins are linked with each other and when one of them is in rise the other one is too, and the same is when the price crash and we both see that they are red or green at the same time together.

It is quite risky to invest everything in one asset. But if you decided to do this, nobody can stop you. I have my own 1,5 k XLM and I want to hope that it can go up to $ 0,5 and higher. But today's market conditions are disgusting.

Thats right, should not all in one coin, because it is very risky, like the proverbial do not put eggs in one basket,
because we never know what will happen with the basket later

I'm completely devoted to ALTs which would perform in 2018

2018 is a do-or-die year for crypto IMO

"Don't put all eggs in one basket"
Stellar is a good coin, even though the CEO is one of main man (or was one of them) in Ripple and who created the Stellar and it has become very successful as the stellar network is growing fast.
In the past I've seen that we can trade inside the stellar.org site if we had an account, it had been a while I'm not using the Stellar but I have a very small amount holding which I hope will sell when I need to and the price became >$1.

It does seem like a good coin, I wouldn't go all in on anything though. Better to split your investment round atleast between 2-3 coins.

how is your all in stellar project going so far?
just love to read some feedback, learning lessons about these kind of things

Investing in XLM is a good idea, but i can see that you investment seems to be geared towards one direction. My advise to you is to try to diversify. Invest into 3 good coins at least. The crypto world has taught a lot if lessons. Part of which is that diversification is very essential.

Stellar (XLM) is one good coin in market. Yesterday, I am reading online media that coinbase, one of biggest exchange want to list 5 new coin on their platform. One of that 5 coin is stellar, if stellar listed on coinbase, price must rising and holder get big profits

Rather than Stellar, take a look at new tokens on the Stellar blockchain such as Mobius, LendLedger, Atlantis and in particular Argentas argentas.io (http://argentas.io) that looks like the most solid of them all. Great upside I think.

No ones stopping you so you dont need to make this long story here but dont blame us when you fails as this stellar is a shitcoin and nothing to wait in future and besides this is a dying coin lol

Never invest all in unless theres a pump that happening and you need to ride the train before this stops
