You mean how am I buying these alts?

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

Or something else?

It was what exchange you were using. Thanks!

You guys remember when I was losing my shit over Crypto Kitties slowing down Ethereum transfer speeds?

Acceptable Gains. Not mind blowing but I'll take what I can get.

When I was opening gifts with the fam I had 2.7 BTC for a split second...

Steem and Burst are gonna get me to 3 BTC town.

I would buy Metal as well but I don't like being in more than two alts at a time. Very stressful.

edit: hit 3 BTC for a second but Steem is looking like it could keep on going up for a while.

Indeed.

Part of the reason why I'm posting my "insane" gains is show that a financial dummy, like myself, can make money in this market. And thus inspire others to hop on this money train while it lasts.

The other reason is to brag/feel good about myself.

On Sept. 12, someone bought 18.8 Ethereum worth of Jesus Coin, transaction records show. The purchase was worth approximately $5,640 at the time. 18.8 Ethereum, as of Wednesday, is worth nearly $16,000.

Just waiting for this to pay off...

Atramental · « **Reply #667 on:** January 02, 2018, 01:33:47 PM »

BTC is back. My poor alts.

edit: so much for being close to 3 BTC...

edit2: I've seen this play out hundreds of times yet I still get caught in it.

-A bunch of alts have bullruns
-Then they slowdown due to people taking profits
-BTC begins to twitch up and the *BOOM* it skyrockets due to everyone dumping their alt profits into it

edit3: I was able to get most of my portfolio back into BTC before it exploded. 1/3 of it is just fucksville at the moment.

My USD value is pretty good considering what's happening.

Let's be real, only Atra's going to get there.

Assimilate · « **Reply #671 on:** January 02, 2018, 03:59:17 PM »

so you can't make an account at bittrex since dec 15? what kind of joke is this?

Atramental · « **Reply #672 on:** January 02, 2018, 04:21:20 PM »

Yep. Bittrex's servers can't handle the traffic/demand.

I got an account on there months before the mainstream media hype started building about cryptocurrencies.

Assimilate · « **Reply #673 on:** January 02, 2018, 04:24:31 PM »

what are the chances monero or ripple hit coinbase this year?

Atramental · « **Reply #674 on:** January 02, 2018, 04:33:47 PM »

I wouldn't bet my life on either getting onto coinbase. Especially after Bitcoin Cash ended up on there...

But if I had to make a wild "educated guess" I would give ripple a 25 to 35% chance. Monero a 1 to 5% since it has too much "dirt" on it due to it being associated with the gray & black market/the darknet.

XLM might be a potential coin that could end up on there. (kinda wish I held onto some since it keeps on getting more media attention). But again, I wouldn't bet my life on that.

edit: BAT might be another potential contender but... again wouldn't seriously bet on that either.

Atramental · « **Reply #675 on:** January 02, 2018, 05:09:46 PM »

If things don't go crazy again I might get close again to the $40K range.

I had some money in MCO and that was what took the heaviest loss since I bought relatively high.

So I just doubled down on my MCO investment on the big dip and put a sell order right where I had initially bought it at.

I might end up using the strategy more and more since BTC isn't going away anytime soon...

got Binance and so far so good with alt-coins

gemini for bitcoin and ether because of the instant no free credit when doing a debit buy.

Atramental · « **Reply #677 on:** January 02, 2018, 06:24:50 PM »

Argh...

Should've held most of my Steem but instead I sold a good chunk of it before the BTC spike and didn't buy back in. And of course, it recovered in record time.

MCO is still down in the gutter...

edit: I still don't understand what is causing steem to be so bullish.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #678 on:** January 02, 2018, 07:32:17 PM »

Everything dropping again. You might be able to get back in. I've just been holding onto everything today and hoping for the best.

Beezy · « **Reply #679 on:** January 02, 2018, 08:03:46 PM »

Atra, how much have you put into this?

Atramental · « **Reply #680 on:** January 02, 2018, 08:45:29 PM »

My initial investment was about $6500 or $7000 USD.

Beezy · « **Reply #681 on:** January 02, 2018, 09:39:09 PM »

impressive

Huff · « **Reply #682 on:** January 03, 2018, 02:45:38 PM »

Well I guess I'm in now.

Was just holding some lite coin in coin base.

But now I've transfered some to binance.

I'm not gunna spend all day trading, but any alt coins I should keep an eye on?

Atramental · « **Reply #683 on:** January 03, 2018, 03:08:58 PM »

I was going to say Burst and RLC but they're not on Binance.

edit: IOTA

Syph · « **Reply #684 on:** January 03, 2018, 03:24:57 PM »

Somehow the only coins not soaring today are the ones I'm in :'(

MCO sure has a knack for giving me heavy bags.

The meme lines give me hope that'll pump in the near future.

Also, I think in a week or two I'll hit my target of $50K and then I'm going radio silent about my gains.

Shit is going to get really interesting after that point.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #691 on:** January 04, 2018, 01:46:26 PM »

I feel another BTC run coming...

Atramental · « **Reply #693 on:** January 05, 2018, 11:46:19 AM »

BTC destroying my alt gains again.

Everytime I get close to my 3 BTC goal for my portfolio Bitcoin just rockets and knocks it down 2.5 BTC

Huff · « **Reply #694 on:** January 05, 2018, 12:26:33 PM »

Time to buy more alts then.

Waiting for my Coinbase coins to clear before I can transfer. Damn it takes forever

Atramental · « **Reply #695 on:** January 05, 2018, 12:42:14 PM »

I did. They're going lower and lower.

I'm going to be holding bags for weeks. $:-\$

edit: Note-to-self: Don't touch MCO ever again.

Atramental · « **Reply #696 on:** January 05, 2018, 02:32:37 PM »

I think things are starting to slowly recover but holy shit.

I still have over $40K I'm just mad that I don't have over $50K if I just dumped my alt gains back into BTC before it decided to nuke everything.

least I got $200 out of it. Most of these altcoins are pump and dumps which is fine if you realize it and have a stop loss limit sell on it

Silly me bought more steem a couple of days ago when it was 0.00046396 sats thinking it was the extent of the dip.

Thankfully, it looks like it's on the verge of spiking up soon.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #708 on:** January 07, 2018, 02:35:32 PM »

^ Exact same position as me. Thought I was savvy buying a dip.

Has anyone here cashed out a large sum of their crypto gains yet? Like north of $5000?

I did before the year's end. Cashed out 3k in bitcoin and 2k in ether. I had it wired to my bank account. Coinbase.

Atramental · « **Reply #712 on:** January 08, 2018, 01:19:48 AM »

I assume there was some sort of fee for cashing out?

Atramental · « **Reply #714 on:** January 08, 2018, 01:31:53 AM »

Cool. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't $100 per a thousand or something stupid like that.

No, it's fairly reasonable, and the value is locked at the time of transfer. Bank wires take up to five days to go through, debit card I think it tales one day.
