My picks for today, I'll do 100% of the games lol:

New Orleans Pelicans @ Oklahoma City Thunder - Under 219.5pts @ 1.79
Seems like a safe bet to me as either ML option here is completely out of the question.

Washington Wizards @ Milwaukee Bucks - Washington Wizards @ 1.97
The Wizards impressed me the other night against the Knicks and I'm they will continue they fine play, especially Wall who was a giant @ NY.

Good luck everyone!

While you continue to debate if ETH is worth or not, if it's the new coming of Bitcoin or a Internet 2.0 I keep making money. It has been so easy it's unreal and I don't have the guts to go and throw into some actual money, I just put most of my BTC which is not much sadly.

Vaporware? Tokens? What is Bitcoin really? it was and still is nothing more than a clusterfuck and thin air in terms of usability and adoption but back then did you know what pushed the price foward? Potential. What if. FOMO. This is not a regular sh*tcoin bubble, people really want to invest in it and know they are getting it cheap but that doesn't mean Ethereum is the real thing either.

Hi it's me again hehe. You don't have to believe in god to make money out of it, just saying. Just set your stop limits and you'll be fine, this is going up, the sky is the limit. Today it has a huge dip below 0.01 but recover with flying colors, I shorted, gain a lot of money and bought back cheap, then it hit almost 0.013...

The bottomline is buy and hold no matter what, just put 1 BTC or whatever you have, what's the worst it can happen, that you lose $100? Those figures are just an example, invest accordingly to what you can afford to lose.

I'm really starting to believe the same, they don't know when something is real, I don't blame them they've seen too many sh*tcoins and P&D for years. I'm not saying the ETH hype is 100% real but really, it's very easy to explain, the potential for the project is amazing and Bitcoin is complete stagnation right now, it's going nowhere other than for being used as a gateway or investment refuge (like gold).

I swear these people would've denied Bitcoin or sold at $2 five years ago...

Perhaps it's a real shift, from the old guard (BTC) to the new?...

Quote
"The implicit promise of upgrading Bitcoin was to prove feasibility in a sidechain for a chance to have the functionality merged back into the reference client. This promise has yet to be fulfilled and the result is a proliferation of external experimentation. Although much hullabaloo has been made about “the developer that quit bitcoin“, obviously the Bitcoin community isn’t dead, nor is its intrinsic use as a scarce digital resource valueless. Satoshi is a hero for recognising how to string several technologies together to create a truth protocol that no one explicitly controls. But the dream for Bitcoin to be the only transformative technology has been dead for a long time. We should instead embrace our new reality and look forward to all the possibilities that this important first attempt enabled."

Right, because ETH makes sense from a transactional, monetary lens... :eyeroll:

It doesn't make sense because they are very different technologies, I don't understand much but check this out:

Unbelievable, 4 years ago 1 bitcoin costed 4.5$ and there were only less than 10 million of them mined. Now 1 ETH costs 4.33$ and there are 76 million of these, like 8x more. If there were 10 million ETH it would cost already ~30$ in bitcoin terms 5 years ago. Which, ironically, was a year (2011) when bitcoin crashed from 30$ to 2$. Expect ether to crash 15x from its current price. Or perhaps remember auroracoin, costing 90$ per AUR and is now 0.03$.

I can't understand why people don't see that there is nothing special in ETH. Just duplicate its code base and you have your own ETH in case the original ETH is too expensive to fuel your software. Free market will make it unsustainable for the ether to maintain high prices because the only utility of ETH is to serve the purpose of a fuel in the automated contracts environment. When we take ETH as a store of value it immediately becomes as worthless as the 99% of altcoins because it does not have the first mover advantage BTC has.

I don't know much about the technical aspect so please forgive me, but I think the potential in ETH is that the platform actually establish as a new way for everything so it's all connected. That way ETH will be needed and used (not like Bitcoin which doesn't have much use really, that's only what we Bitcoiners say but no common person need it for anything in real life and most likely never will).

So in that way, if banks, companies, services providers are all start to develop dapps fueled by ETH, then that figure is rather small. But I agree it's all up in the air of course...it sounds like skynet.

I'm still here holding strong...I'm speechless, almost $5...and broke 0.01 like it was nothing. I'm not sure what the price would be by the end of this week if this continues like this.
1929  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH price soaring. Are you going to move some BTC into ETH? on: February 10, 2016, 12:22:12 AM
You can all talk whatever you want but I've bought some hours ago at around 90 when it was the same kinda talk and look now. ETH doesn't want to stop, it will at some point of course but I'm not shorting, I don't care. The minute I can't see it fall I'll sell and run with the profits because those are the rules.

However I still think the same way and if I were you I would get in as soon as I could. It's even easier now, if the floor is established it will be hard to fall below 0.01. I've bought at 90 where everybody was saying the dump would come at 0.01...

Only the DJ knows when the music ends.  You're not the DJ.

Don't get caught without a chair.

I know, I don't care if I get a small profit, I'll set my stop limits but what I mean it was worth the risk. I'm not shorting, just enjoying the ride, the minute this goes down (if it does...) and panic starts I'm out. I don't have too much money though...but for me is a big deal.

Then there's another perspective and I think this is not merely an isolated pump, there's merit in ETH and huge potential, Bitcoin already lost that, this is not another Bitcoin clone after all...

Well I feel I've entered the FOMO spike at 90, it felt that way really and it got to 95 last night in just 5 minutes too. Today it was just a couple of satoshi close of 0.01. I really think 0.01 is not the end of the bubble because we already were that close and the sky didn't fall. The target price for me is $5 or even more...I don't know if I would be able to hold that long if that was the case.
1932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2015-16 Regular Season Discussion on: February 09, 2016, 08:04:10 PM
I'm sitting this one out since I've other things right now but from just a quick glance, San Antonio @ 1.30 against the Heat is a no brainer if you want a safe bet with relatively good odds. Good luck to all!
1933  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH price soaring. Are you going to move some BTC into ETH? on: February 09, 2016, 07:18:41 PM

So because you got out at your target then the rest of us are screwed? I'm not saying ETH will save the world or be the next Bitcoin, but if it behaves a little like Litecoin and keeps pumping a little more, I'll at least get out with my initial investment intact. Of course there's the chance that the bubble will pop at 0.01, but if it doesn't you have to admit that many of us will make a lot of money (I don't even have that much at stake really, if I lose on the way down I'm sure it will be peanuts in real life money).

Absolutely not! I wish everyone good luck. I just know how these things can unfold (I have seen many in my time in crypto) and I don't have the luxury of babysitting my position all the time, so I get out at my planned point. "Plan your trade, trade your plan". I know many will think I'm just talking my own book, but many others can attest that I have tried to be helpful/truthful when it comes to my publicly posted analysis. Considering the bubbly nature of this rally, I may be way off on my target. I am ok with that because my planned trade went as expected, but since it is bubbly, it becomes that much harder to target an exit, so I choose not to chase

Please don't get me wrong, I didn't want to sound harsh, you did a great move and you got your profit, that's it and that's all that matters, the rest is up in the air, I know that. I do appreciate your knowledge, hope I didn't offend you with my comments.
1934  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH price soaring. Are you going to move some BTC into ETH? on: February 09, 2016, 07:15:14 PM
It's important to say, at least this is my strategy, that I'm not doubling down or anything like that if I see a steep drop, I'm sorry but I won't lose all my BTC either, this is not gambling. If the bubble pops well, only the strong will survive or the ones that bought ETH way cheaper than myself. I think that if you are thinking of buying now, this is a great strategy to cover your ass if the dump begins.
1935  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH price soaring. Are you going to move some BTC into ETH? on: February 09, 2016, 07:11:31 PM
There's a very real chance that ETH goes to $10-30 and even $50 in the next weeks, think about that, bubble or not, the opportunity to make ACTUAL money is right there, that's how rich people make their money.

On the wings of such dreams do the whales play.

This is the game of the whales, but this is exactly what happened with Bitcoin, it was a joke until it wasn't. I wasn't around at that time but I'm sure the comments on its way up must've been hilarious. Ethereum is not another Bitcoin clone, I don't understand much about it but no one can't deny it is completely unpredictable in its potential and that's one of the best features an investment like this could have.

Now, for getting rich, that's another history, one would really need to put in at least 10k at around 600 and wish for it to hit 10-$20 or something like that really, I don't know how much could sustain that kind of pressure.


What's so hilarious to see is all the haters here calling it another shitcoin when it isn't even a Coin but something much more that's going to have a profound impact on the future  Roll Eyes.  As for  Whaler manipulation please whales don't have this kind of $$$ to do in in a matter of days there are huge players in Ether and it isn't those idiot Chinese Ponzi sschemes who burned Litecoin to the ground.

First they will hate Ether, then they will Mock, Then they will join when it's $50  Grin

Lol, the problem really is that, I think it can actually go to $50, Litecoin almost did and it was just all BS. The problem is do I have what it takes to hold to $20 or $30, 50$? This is the same that happened with Bitcoin but to a smaller scale. To us Bitcoin is like god, but really, for many it is still a joke, it was $1300 and went down to $200. There was a lot of money to be made unrelated to Bitcoin's greatness (or lack of it).

Did I miss something? Did Bitcoin changed the world for it to hit $1300? Nobody uses it, it's just speculation, investments and trading.
1936  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH price soaring. Are you going to move some BTC into ETH? on: February 09, 2016, 07:04:03 PM
IMO ETH bubble is very much like the dot-com bubble. The reason for that is analogous. Sooner or later people will realize that ETH does not have as much to offer as it was speculated in the beginning. We could also compare ETH to Namecoin. One could fantasize that eventually everyone will be hosting their domain names in the namecoin block chain and thus speculate that NMC will go up in value. In reality it hasn't happened and it won't happen because both NMC & ETH are fuels and not some sort of a rare stores of value. Sure you can make a lot of money on the hype but in the long term it will just be a platform that some entities prefer to use while others derive their code from the peershares project, for example. To put it another way, ETH is to peershares like JavaScript is to C++.

I agree, I don't have many experience but I've seen a couple of pumps. This is different, there seem to be HUGE players in it, maybe even big companies trying to accumulate as much as they can. I know things like this had been said before but this time it actually makes sense if Ethereum becomes the actual platform it promises. There should've been a lot of resistance points along the way but people stopped shorting and selling and what's more, others continue to buy it and don't care, it's crazy.
1937  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH price soaring. Are you going to move some BTC into ETH? on: February 09, 2016, 07:01:02 PM
Everyone you thought that it will not pass 0,01BTC was wrong, because now we're at 0,0097 now Roll Eyes. It is possible that there will have a dump, and that's what I hope, for cheap coins Grin !

I subscribe to a traders community where Shit-Coin fiends are posting entries into Alts that then go parabolic a few weeks later down the line. ETH is just one of many Shitcoins that have been hitting the brightlights recently, all of which plummet right back down the way they came, never to even come close to their former heights, for months and months.

I know of around 10 people, who bought ETH way down at 0.001, who all have their final sell orders up at 0.01........I know this, cos they are all following the same guys fkn trading plan!!!

Strange though, how the market is stalling at this benchmark price point....

.....I am sure it will go through it, in one last almighty pop....but man oh man...you better have your sell order ready when it does. There is a whole mass of profits needing to be harvested here.

The problem with this is that you are ignoring the technical aspects of ETH. In the end, what defines the price is adoption and usefulness. If ETH proves to be useful for a lot of people, it won' matter if some traders are shorting it.

We'll see, I'm not denying this will happen but if they really wanted to get out they could've done it already at 0.0098-99, why wait for the exact sum that may never come? For some extra bucks? I think if it pierces right through 0.01 then many "shorters" will have to think really hard about selling and losing what could be a one in a lifetime opportunity. Greed will definitely come into play.

This^

I see this like the Litecoin P&D before the halving. Euphoria will be high and fomo will be higher, then BAM it's dropped 60% in 10 minutes. Stops will do noting but sell at the lows here. Good luck to all, I have sold mine at my target between 94 and 97. I will not be back in until a massive correction comes, and maybe not even then.

Even if it does break .01 (I never said impossible, only improbable) I stand by my statement that BTC won't rally until ETH completes or vice versa. One will affect the other, so watch both for the signs.

Trade on!

So because you got out at your target then the rest of us are screwed? I'm not saying ETH will save the world or be the next Bitcoin, but if it behaves a little like Litecoin and keeps pumping a little more, I'll at least get out with my initial investment intact.
