I used to like Ripple back in early 2018, but its price has gone nowhere but DOWN since, and it has little to no profit potential, even if you do some very careful buying and selling on the highs and lows of its prices.

Ripple had a good concept for making bank transactions quick, easy, and cheap, but I don't see anyone using it 2-1/2 years later or making me some PROFITS.

Sherlock, you're a low post count noob, so you have no credibility.  And no one cares about your two phase proof of work bullshit.  We only care about MAKING PROFITS.

So don't waste your time telling us about your Gee-Whiz all new coin, we don't care.

After thinking about it for a while today, I had me a real "AH FUCK IT!!!!" moment.

I uploaded my Ledger Nano S coins to trading accounts.

Then on the accounts, I MOVED TO CASH.  Yep, I sold every damn thing.  

I figure it this way - there's no real reason for coin prices to be surging this week, so it is just the whales and market manipulators doing some profit taking.

So I'll sit on my cash, spread across different locations, and wait for coin prices to drop, then buy back in to a few coins.  Most likely Ethereum, Litecoin, and maybe BTC Cash.  The long term alt coins with a solid history.

Ripple has been dead for 2 years, and Stellar and Tron are a couple of limp dicks.

So if coin prices drop now, I'll be smiling.  If coin prices rise now, I'll be pissed.

I've got a bit over $8700 waiting to buy into coins again, if prices dip low enough to make it worth my while.

I've got a few EOS coins to sell into cash also, but the goddamn Kraken exchange is screwing up with letting me log in, so that may take a few days.  I don't think its price will move much.  It's not a huge amount anyway.

 

Now I have a real problem.  Are coin prices going to dribble back down to where they were a week ago, or is there going to be another wave of upward price swings?  As it is, I can sell some of my different coins for profits right now, HODL the cash, and buy back MORE coins after the prices drop down.  Then have more profit potential on the next upswing.

But if I do that, and prices surge upwards again, even briefly, I'm gonna be pissed.

So what to do?  Sell or HODL?

C'mon, market manipulators, give me some information on the side here!  Help someone besides yourselves!

Ignore this low post count noob, he is scamming for Titan ,and nothing more, it is very obvious. 

And Tether?  WHY would anyone invest in Tether?  It's price is always very close to $1!  There's no buy low/sell high action there!  It's useless!!!

I couldn't care less about the development of TRON, or what it will ever be useful for.  All I know is I am HODLing a little over 11,000 TRX coins, and I need the TRON price to skyrocket so I can make a massive profit.  My break-even price is 2.4 cents, so it won't take a lot for me to profit, but I am thinking of DOLLARS per coin.

See what happened last night?  I did.  As soon as BTC touched $12,000, it had a big sell off and crashed many other coins 10% or more in the process.  This is the whales taking profits, they are the only ones with enough trading volume to move the market this much this fast.  It may or may not rise again, but this is the kind of activity no one else wants to admit I am right about.

But then again, if I were a whale, I'd probably do the same thing.

And whales and market manipulators, I'm still waiting for a message and tip from you!  Help me make some money too!

I see the coin prices have been rising the past few days over at coinmarketcap.com .  Let's make some good price surges here, whales and behind-the-scenes people controlling the prices!!!

I'm HODLing a couple Ethereums, some EOS, Ripple XRP, Stellar, Litecoin, Cardano, and Tron.

Market makers and price setters, I need at least one of these to go on a huge price surge, and I need you to tell me which one and when so I can sell at the peak and make myself a nice profit.

Don't deny it, don't be like the government saying "There are no UFOs".  I know damn well there are some big money people manipulating the coin prices.  And their reasons for doing it?  I don't care.

All I care about is buying coins low and selling them high for my own personal gain.  I don't care about the long term viability, utility, or outlook of any coin.

Is there a particular coin that is currently way down the list, worth a fragment of a penny, that will soon be pumped to several dollars or more?  Tell me so I can grab a few thousand to HODL.

So work with me, not against me.  PM me a bit of advice.  Which coin to buy, which to sell and when, etc.

Thanks.

I'm always looking for a way to get Bitcoins for free for my own personal profit.  And at first glance this sounds like an interesting idea, with a small chance of success.  And I'd like to think it could work, but knowing there are people out there even more unethical than me, especially foreigners, and I don't feel confident about this idea as a result.

Besides, I'm sure they have tried to crack them and failed, so what are my chances then for actual success?  I think not good.

And if I watched this Hashcat youtube video correctly,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Y6TPGzVn0 then I have to correctly guess the number of characters in the password to even begin?  If I tell it to brute force a 9 character password and it is really an 8 character password, then it will never find the right answer?

Why put your name all over the photo, you stupid asshole?  Makes it hard to see the things in the photo.

Yes I am trying to get whales to game the market and create an artificial price pop so I make a decent profit on my holdings.  I don't own any more than 10,000 of any one coin (and only 62 LTC), so it's not like my sells are going to upset any markets.

The price movements have been small for 3 years now, let's spice things up with some coin price volatility!

And why wouldn't a whale let me know when a coin is about to be pumped?  They have nothing to lose.  Not much to gain either, but this is about me and my own personal profits.   just need some help to get it rolling.

I'm smart enough (or rather, not naïve enough to believe otherwise) to know that we've got some whales and big money people behind the scenes, capable of manipulating the price of coins at will.  It'd be near impossible for this to not be the case.

So after a fairly quiet (price wise) year or so, I say it is time to pump the prices!  Make up any story as to why it's happening, I really don't care.  Just make the prices of one of my coins go sky high long enough for me to sell my coins.

I'm holding Ripple, Litecoin, Stellar Lumens, Tron, Cardano, and small amounts of a few other coins.  I need these prices to go WAY UP, so I can sell my coins for a nice profit and put the money to good use.

So let's get to it.  PRICE PUMP ON!!!

And be cool enough to PM me and let me know which coins and when, so I can be ready.  Thanks.

I'll be damned if I ever will report gains on my coins for taxes.  Screw that noise.  I figure there's enough ways to dance around it.  Use Bitcoin ATMs to withdraw to cash if you don't mind paying the fee.  Withdraw in small amounts over time.  Send it to someone else's bank account with a lame story and have them give you the cash for a small fee.

If you have a lot, pay some local dumbass to set up a bank account that only you can control, and withdraw through that and hit the road.

As recently as 2014, the IRS really didn't know how to handle coin profits, it was a free for all.  Too bad I didn't have a lot more coins then.

Oh, what's this?  Another shitcoin?  Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.  It is a complete waste of time and probably a scam.

Oh yeah... it is 14 days for a normal readjust, not 10.  What was I thinking?  Oh well, whatever.  Move along.

More an excuse to pop this topic up than anything else, but...

If it took 16-1/2 days for this past difficulty reset, that means a lot of miners are turned off, a good 40% or more by my calculations.  Maybe just because the price is down right now, but that's a foolish way to go about mining.

I understand mining very well, I did it for years.  And there comes a time where it is not the smart choice to throw more money at more expensive miners that will never ROI unless BTC price goes way up.  Which it will eventually, but who knows when?

Wow, this difficulty reset that just happened followed a time span of 16-1/2 days, as opposed to the usual ten day cycle.  That means a lot of miners are shut down, and the next difficulty reset will be another big drop.

Since I no longer mine, I don't care about that.  My hopes are that all crypto coin prices are going to crash LOW LOW LOW very soon.  This is what I want to happen, so I can buy as many LTC and maybe ETH and BTC Cash and EOS as I can.  And maybe even a Bitcoin.  Then when the prices eventually rise, I'll ride it to big profits!

I understand having a few machines running just for the hell of it, but really, right now you are a FOOL to be spending big bucks on big mining farms.  Investors looking for a loss they can take a tax deduction on, that's the only way I can see anyone getting the big bucks needed.

And it is a fool's errand.  It is diminishing returns.  It is an exercise in futility.  Difficulty rises, people buy and add more hashpower, to get more coins, so difficulty rises, etc, etc, etc.

I enjoyed having a dozen GPUs pimping out the hashes for me, but I knew when to say enough.  Ultimately, I might have been better served by just buying and HODLing, rather than mining at all, but hindsight, you know?

So the solution?  Stop mining, or at least severely reduce it.  Sell most of your equipment and just buy low and sell high as the market price bounces.  That's what I'm doing.

I want to see coin prices dump as low as possible, so I can buy more, then make big profits when the price eventually pops way up.

I believe your argument is invalid.  Refer to the BTC price history between early 2014 and early 2017,  after the $1200 price highs in late 2013-early 2014, BTC slowly dribbled down to the low $200 range and just kind of farted around until it began a very slow rise in 2016, then really took off in 2017.

But then again, all the foolish fools who mortgaged their houses for BTC in late 2017 might not be so easily fooled again, and we might not see the price surge in the same way when it eventually does.  
It'll blast off again, just got to HODL until then.  But when conditions looks good for a huge BTC surge, we've got to conspire and collude (yes, illegally if need be) with the BTC whales to make a huge pump-n-dump.  But do it in such a way that I personally make big profits!!!
