Yeah it's been stagnating but slowly, what catalyzed the whole shit in my opinion is the weird BCC coinbase launch. Felt like too much manipulation and whale action was going on, little plebs probably trying to get into the swing action sold off their btc. Got burnt on BCC, saw btc tumbling probably bailed the fuck out. Of course that's highly speculative alot more has been going on, but fuck coinbase.

Ended up weak handing alot of NXT that i was holding cause of this whole crash. so mad

The insider trading/manipulation that happens is pretty sickening overall. Like...

This happens: https://www.investopedia.com/news/bitcoincom-cofounder-dumps-bitcoin-bitcoin-cash/

Then a handful of hours later this happens: https://twitter.com/coinbase/status/943270201058922496

Give me a fucking break.

Just remember: In crypto, 30% dips are the norm.

edit: Clarification: 30% dips are the norm when bitcoin moves up very fast or down very fast.

Found another useful tool. A google chrome extension for Bittrex.

It swaps out the default candle charts (which are slow and not accurate most of the time) with TradingView's and it shows the USD values of each coin on the market page and elsewhere.

Pretty neat but Bittrex really needs an overhaul on its UI/UX.
The fact that I need to open a second window or scroll down to see the order book for a coin is ridiculous. They should have it all in one spot like GDAX and Binance.

An update:

I ended up with 15 LTC bought at 68 a coin. Sold it all for 83 a coin and went all in with Crypto20, an index fund for top 20 Crypto.

https://crypto20.com/en/

Bummed I missed the LTC rocket by a week or so, however, I have high hopes for this fund.

Probably should've taken some profits at around 270 but... I didn't.

CV seems to think Siacoin will reach 300 by the end of this week but I dunno. Maybe.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #627 on:** December 25, 2017, 12:52:09 PM »

I'm getting less confident in this coin yeah. I feel like I could be doing more with this btc just jumping on signals and taking quick 10-15% gains. a might dip out.

Atramental · « **Reply #628 on:** December 25, 2017, 02:08:19 PM »

In the process of selling 2.2 BTC of my Siacoin.

Going to let the rest stay in and not worry if it goes up or down. Siacoin could have a ton of potential in the future.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #629 on:** December 25, 2017, 02:30:04 PM »

I've got a small amount of burst and a small amount of sia for holding rn, and I'm going to use the rest for fast 10-15% gains.

Is there a listing of all the cryptocurrencies out there?

What's the difference between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash?

Thought about putting some money in for the hell of it. Not expecting to make any money and if I lose everything, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Atramental · « **Reply #635 on:** December 26, 2017, 11:19:23 AM »

Looks like I got out of alts and back into bitcoin at the right time.

Segwit2x is (allegedly) happening the 28th.

There's probably an article you could read about the differences but bitcoin cash is a fork of bitcoin that has slightly faster transfer speeds. But there's already coins with faster transfer speeds than bitcoin cash so... it's kinda just riding on bitcoin's coattails at the moment.

If you're not planning on actively trading then just split that money amongst bitcoin, ethereum, and litecoin. Or other coins that seem to have long term potential.

I myself am really not in this for the long term hence why I'm trading. My goal is to have over $500K in crypto earnings before the end of next year. And then I might start investing in mobile homes and other recession proof investments since I feel another recession on the horizon.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #637 on:** December 26, 2017, 01:02:09 PM »

I have the uncanny ability of going from 100% btc to deep into alts 20 minutes before BTC decides to fuck everything up. This is the second time.

Fuck I hate BTC.

I decided to stop investing in crypto. I made some money and even left some positions there, but I think the price we are paying now is not real and heavily manipulated/ overpriced.

The market is trying to correct itself, but you can see that "somethig" is stopping it from doing it.

That something is tether.

https://medium.com/@bitfinexed/the-bitfinex-dilemma-blow-up-now-or-try-a-hail-mary-to-retain-in-business-10b9d989359f

I still own Bitcoin and some alts, but when you see a token like XRP (lol my phone autocorrected it by crap, wtf) in second place then you know something is wrong.

I will probably lose a lot of opportunities, but the original idea of preserving my patrimony from the Government is gone.

Or which crypto exchange I'm using? (Bittrex)

Or something else?
