The market for sure looks like it's in the early stages of a recovery.  I think a lot of this may hinge on the big decision coming up regarding the ETF's.  I think that decision will dictate the market direction for the rest of the year.  Maybe the market will spike on bad news a s well.  Odd stuff happens when you reach peaks and lows.

"because many central bankes are part of Ripple"

Central bankers run the world.  Notice all the countries being bombed have no central bank.  HMMMM

This is the exact reason I believe it will be Ripples year and maybe decade. 

I believe the run will be happening much earlier.  October 1st is my date of the next bull run or a complete market melt down.  Even though it's completely illegitimate for the ETF to have a major impact I believe it will and I think ti is the manipulation trigger.  No idea which way it will run but I believe it's going to start on 10/1/2018.

I am using Bitcoin and Ethereum as a currency and it's working great for me.  I think when fiat begins to fail or if and when the central bankers pull the rug from the current system I believe crypto will be used as the sole currency.  No idea if it's Bitcoin, Ripple or some coin we have not seen yet.  This is all just allowed to be happening.  People usually die when they fuck with the central bankers money printing. 

I think this comes down to the ETF decision.  If negative there will be a dump down to the 180 billion market cap again at minimum.  If positive this thing could pump to a trillion fairly quickly like we saw last year.  Not much waiting time left.  One must be nimble over the next few days to not get wiped out. 

This ETF decision is going to play a factor before it's all said and done.  This decision may pave the way for market direction for the next 6 months.  The manipulators will swing it which ever way makes them the most cash and destroys the majority of us small guys.  Dicey times.  If you don't know what to do buy quality and hold for the reversal. 

You need to go way down that coinmarketcap list to take the millionaire shot.  You also have to be ready to loose it all.  I have a core psoition in the top 10 and then I take wild shots from time to time on a sub 200 ranked coin.  I have made tons with this approach and am currently in quite a few now waiting for this market to bounce and see what happens.  Your only here once.  I for one am going for it.  Crash and burn is ok with me.  I'm gonna take my shot.

Hell yeah I'm ready for it.  I sure as hell don't want paid in fiat which the bankers and governments print at will thus charging me inflation tax unless I move into other assets to attempt to beat the inflation they cause.  I want free money withno governmetn or banking interference.  If I can have that I would gladly go full time crypto.

I try to use it whenever possible.  Mostly online purchases so far as I'm in a remote spot of the world and no one here even knows what a Bitcoin is let alone be able to accept one. 

I think one of the best rules the forum can make is to make it a permaban offense to require more than 8 posts per week for signature.  We could cut the spam down significantly with this one move.  Going after the money hunters is an obviously loosing proposition.  If you go after the bounty managers who require all these spam posts you will have immediate results.  By keeping signatures (getting rid of these would fix the problem almost immediately) and letting the bounty manager request 15+ posts a week you have to wonder if they really want the spam to stop. 

I think many of the alt coins may in fact disappear but there will be new ones to take it place and the alt coin space will eventually be filled with quality projects and tech advancements.  People will always want to be in alts so they can gain more Bitcoin.  One nice alt coin pick gains you many Bitcoins if you put down a half decent amount.  As always you can get Rekt as well.  I think alts will always be around.  Maybe just not these ones.

No issues on my end.  I have been trading Peculium there over the last few weeks.  Hit them up on Telegram.  The IDEX guys are fairly good and usually have someone there waiting to help.  The community is also good so people will jump in to help as well. 

I think Ethereum is just fine and when the market turns around it will fly right back up jsut like every other alt coin will most likely do.  Notice the people on the forum are starting to really lose their shit.  Time must be getting close to the reversal.  We may need a little more blood in the street first but we are getting close. 

No, as an investor it not good to have a bunch of people in at a lower cost basis as you.  The bounty hunters have skin in the game as they traded time for their coins.  I would throw a huge bounty in conjunction with my ICO if I were to attempt a coin.  It's a very touch combination of bringing in money and getting the word out. 

If you believe in crypto and believe it will make a comeback then NEO is a great coin to go with.  It pays you gas to hold (in case we stay down low for an extended time) + if the market comes back it will fly high all the while paying you about 5% to hold.  Doesn't get much better than that.

I agree with the manipulation.  I believe this entire rise and dump was an orchestrated plan by a government or banking agency.  They have especially attacked Ethereum and Cardano.  Cardano is looking just about as bad as Ethereum at this point.  Not sure when to step in even further as they just keep crashing.  

I don't believe Bitcoin is over hyped.  I believe it's the opposite actually.  When we are on CNBC and every other financial site around the world and we have a market cap of 191 billion for the entire industry I don't know how we could be considered hyped up.  I believe we are in the middle of one of the greatest manipulations in human history. 

In 10 years I predict Crypto will be the main form of exchange.  Fiat is going away either due to crypto taking over or due to a complete failure.  The dollar is in really bad shape and way over due for a makeover.  The makeover will entail a complete system change.  Crypto is most likely the answer.  And yes they (the government/banking) created bitcoin.  We are the useful idiots.  I'm just trying to be a rich one before the curtain is pulled.  Hopefully the wealthy don't have to follow the rules like in this system. 

This is a game of survival at this point I agree with you.  This is how the manipulators have written the story.  Now we wait as they are shaking so they can accumulate to dump on the next round of unsuspecting victims. 

Dude WTF are you talking about?  They don't have fiat to make their project a reality.  Hence the ICO.  When they get the money they can then build the product. 

You trollin us?

I would seriously consider holding and doubling down at these prices.  You could get yoru average down to $450!  I believe Ethereum is going to $900 again easily so you can also just chill and wait longer.
