Sure, just scribble abuse. All the time in the world for someone that wants to engage. This is not engagement. This is just acting like your username. Once again, you seem to have lost your way in the search for the After Hours forum.

Keep on HODLing though..your rocket to the moon is due any minute..we (by which i mean anybody who hasn't wasted money on cryptocurrency) don't understand the tech..this time it's different and you're all "long-term" investors.

I remember similar nonsense from victims of the Telecom Eireann scam...when they realised they had been suckered (not that they'd admit it) they turned nasty.

I "wasted" €1500 crypto in Jan 2017.

Took out 5k in cash.
Spent 3k on a holiday for the family
Paid off my car loan
Bought a PS4 pro, xbox one X, nintendo switch, 4k sony bravia, oculus rift and a bunch of games.
Paid the mortgage and bills for 9 months while the missus was on maternity leave.

And i still have about 6k wasting away in a fake money ponzi scheme after the 90% crash.

Boy i hate being a sucker!!

So you took out 5k.

You spent 3k on a holiday.

Bought a load of gamer junk,costing the guts of a grand

AND still paid off the mortage for 9 months?

Wow!

You must have the worlds smallest mortage!

You're a man of many talents..mendacity about your financial affairs being chief of them.

Ah the old selective reading.

He never said the total he took out was 5k.

He said he took 5k in cash and got the other stuff on top of it.

Anyways I'm done with you now. Be gone vile troll.

I think if ETH manages to overcome the technical hurdles it will likely jump in price and then grow steadily, assuming it isn't beaten to the punch by something newer.

That's it in a nutshell.

Not one of the current offerings is perfect - all have their strengths and weaknesses, and it's a race now for the perfect protocol.
The funding issue has been totally removed, so it's all systems are go which is why I think the next 3 or 4yrs we'll see massive leaps forward.
The brightest folk in this space are now employed and everyone's racing for the release that addresses all the current known restrictions of the current crytopcurrency space.

Some have a big head start on others but remember Netscapes head start when the Internet rolled out to the masses

The 64million dollar question is whos the next Google of the crypto space.

Jesus wept. Where the fck do you think that money came from? You were an early entrant to the Ponzi, that's all. And get some grown up hobbies-it's seriously cringey reading a married man with children boasting about their games consoles.

It's a tough one. It can swing both ways. There are examples from the past where the winner was technologically more limited but was first to market. There are also examples where the winner wasn't first to market but was technologically superior.

Who opened the AH gates tonight, right motley crew.

It came from my investment becoming more valuable in a rising economy. Same as my house, my shares, my pensions. But they must also be ponzi schemes also.

Look we get it, you feel bad that you missed out, you feel silly and inadequate that your life hasn't worked out the way you hoped and you couldn't scrap together a few spare euro to invest and are envious of those who had the smarts to invest at the right time, and the only way you can deal with your shame is to lash out at strangers on the internet.

I'm too busy counting my fake ponzi cash to care.

Yeah yeah, we all remember chapter 2 of Warren Buffett's guide to investment where he advocates cashing in half your funds after the first year and heading to Smyths Toys for a shopping spree.

What's the point in making money if you can't enjoy spending it.

Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme. A pyramid scheme.
Like tulips were. it is inherently worthless. It is practically useless and pointless.
All this technical jargon like blockchain and mining farms to make it seem complicated.
It isn't. It is a classic ponzi scheme.
It only has value in relation to what others are prepared to pay for it.
On assumption that it will rise. However ye have run out of suckers.
It is only going in one direction.
Sure those that bought a few years ago and sold at the peak made money.
Thats how a pyramid scheme works .
The vast majority here didn't. They bought too high and held. And they will lose money.
Suckers.

Dont look at crypto currencies in short term windows. Use a min window of 1 month (but really 1 year). ETH is up €220 since last month.

These drops are common and a good chance to buy. It will recover and track back up in the next few weeks.

There are a lot of new people entering who dont know the tech, are not used to it, and think you need to buy and sell your way to riches. They buy in, get spooked by a drop, think it is the bubble popping, and rush to sell before their loses get worse. A few days later when it has recovered and gone higher they realise they bought high and sold low!

To all the new voices.
Only invest what you can afford to lose. This really is important, if you are panicing over a drop of €50 you can't afford to be investing.

Sit on it, very few trade their way to profit without a powerful automated algorithm trading on one of the old trade fee free exchanges. Most who try to trade lose money. Everyone that sits on it has made money.

Stop betting, invest in the tech. Buy bitcoin because you want to use it to buy things. Buy ETH because you believe in the tech, stop looking at the price (easier said than done i know) and stop thinking you can turn €100 in 100k.

Really. So you realised that the hype and evangelical proselytising with all the impenetrable technical gibberish that you bought in to last year was a scam.
You stopped "believing in the tech" realised you were being conned, that it was a ponzi scheme and you cashed out.
Very prescient of you.

I am tired to read "it is a Ponzy scheme" for crypto. People know you can lose money like any other type of investment.
What bothers me is that people against crypto are so vocal. I don't like some threads on boards but I don't spend my time posting one liners on them to say I don't like it. I just don't read it. However constructive feedbacks would be welcome.

I made the implication earlier also.... I think at this point if people aren't willing to debate the pros and cons seriously then we just ignore them.

Buzzwords like ponzi scheme,dead in the water etc are the flags we should see.

Why are people so negative about the fact they missed out and feel the need to wad in and sprout absolutely tripe for no good reason? Do they honestly think people like grindle,makeorbrake and grumpypants etc are just going to go...

"You know what, this guys right, I've invested 1000s into crypto and made decent profit but this person who has only just came to this forum has convinced me with their snide small paragraph about crypto being a ponzi and I'm going to cash out now"

Also WTF us wrong with a grown man owning consoles? I grew up playing them and will continue to do so, I feel great being able to buy the latest models with my crypto cash before any little spoiled kid can

People of a certain mindset don't see any hypocrisy in critiquing what they see as an infantile pastime while they idolise kickball pansies and cosplay as them when they go to the pub or when they get the chance to mince around the kickball pansy stadium.
Funny eh?

Good to know that Smyth's are now accepting crypto cash. Maybe Bitcoins do have value.

No, like every smart investor I negated my risk as soon as possible.

I then just used my profits to buy things i wanted. What's the point of investing if you can make a return and what's the point if making a return if you can't enjoy it.

I still have a substantial amount of numerous different coins in my long term investment portfolio.

If you buy a share in a company it is only worth what someone else will pay you. That is sound investing.

Buy a cryoto coin that is only worth what someone will pay you. Ponzi !!!!
