Title: Story of how I got screwed over
Post by: imtiax on December 10, 2013, 07:45:03 PM
Well I was on BTC-E.com the other day and Fontase said he was pumping. So I went all in at LTC at 39.9 each... I bought about 19.

A few minutes later fontase got banned from BTC-E chat so he dumped coins and I am still hanging on to those coins as I don't want to lose profit. I'm waiting for them to be 40+ so I can sell them back.

Anyways, Now I know Fontase is bs....

On the bright side, LTC is 34.54 right now and should be on it's way to 40+ some time this week.

IMO you should convert them to any other altcoin. They won't be hitting any new ATH very soon since $ are being divided, a new coin is popping up every day!
Buying on a near ~ATH prices  is always risky.

You are mistaken, nobody screwed you over.

You screwed yourself over listening to some random gibblet-head's financial advice on the internet. Nothing more.

Bad luck, I'm sure it will hit that price again eventually. I think fontas has quit now, at least under that name. I stopped taking too much notice of the trollbox :P

Yeah I noticed that after. He dosen't really pump/dump anything he just manipulates mass amounts of ppl in the troll box on btc-e into thinking he's doing it.

You are an idiot. Sorry for being cruel.

There is no such thing as pumping without dumping.

Live and learn, mate. There's already enough hating here; you don't need anymore of that, but be very wary of anyone on the Intertubes that's eager to give you "sound" advice concerning your assets. Don't fret, however, hold steady and watch the exchange rates. You'll make your money (+profit) back very soon.

Nice story others can learn from. Try wait for 40+ and sell this shit to others if your not confortable with this altcoin at this price.

I am sorry for your temporary misfortune at the hands of a pump and dump. You can read all about him on the btc-e trollbox archives, on reddit and even in the news recently.   If you don't trust the long term value of ltc, you may want to wait until you break even at $40, then trade for btc which has a more steady incline.

I honestly didn't think the troll box even worked, but I guess everyone has bad days and makes stupid decisions.

What do you mean worked? I've never seen it not working as what it is, a really primitive chat box.

True.  You should have been aware that it was called a trollbox for a reason.
I think litecoin will be stabilizing at about $30-$40 for a bit.
