    True. 101.32 doesn't have the same ring to it.

    And 108.42 is a pure vertical trending trough.

    111 on GDAX and no signs of stopping. It's like watching BTC yesterday.

    Combination of media attention and the new BTC transaction fees maybe?

    Just cancelled my sell order at 120 to see where this goes. It's incredible to jump 20% in a matter of minutes.

    Happy I got partially in with this. Not so happy I'm mainly in on BTC and ETH.

    Tempted to swap to Litecoin with some of that now if this keeps up.

    Should've cashed out at 120. Falling back now. 108 and dropping.

    Guys, bubbles burst. if you're lucky enough to have bought any of these in 2010 or when they were dirt cheap, count your blessings and your lucky stars and get out now. You may may have a tinge of regret about not getting richer if they keep going up, but think how you'll feel if the bubble bursts and it all goes down the toilet. That's not a place you want to be.

    That's just an honest opinion from someone who doesn't have any (ah well.....). No skin in the game, just some food for thought. No abuse, please, this is meant well! If you're happy with where you're at that's your call.....

    Thanks for the advice, but it could apply to any investment - traditional or 'new'.

    Invest what you can afford to lose i.e. "enough to feel but not to hurt"

    I did. Do you dispute that you said that the bubble has burst? It patently hasn't. LTC and ETH are at all time highs. BTC has tripled in the last three months. It may be on the verge of bursting. Who knows what will happen when the Wall Street money comes into play?

    One thing is certain though, as of now it hasn't burst. So, having thoroughly read what you wrote, you're pointedly wrong.

    Maybe English is the problem. I said "bubbles burst". You invented the extra words and inverted commas to put it in the past tense. If you want to make some reasoned argument as to why it isn't a bubble etc, please do, these are just opinions, but if you've re-read my post thoroughly and you still think I said that the bubble had burst, I'm afraid I can't help you any further with that.

    Looks like Lite went crazy over night. Hit about €180 on GDAX before a big correction. Unfortunately I had a sell order at €120. Didnt have much coin and profit is profit. Might go back in if it dips back down later.

    Incredible night. Up 75% for a relatively big coin is almost unthinkable. This happens a lot with pump and dumps on the smaller alts but you don't expect it with any of the top 10 coins (ignoring iota).

    Nothing wrong with taking profit. Especially in apparently random spikes. You can always set a buy order for something more reasonable if you think it's going to revert. That's what I did anyway (for the same reason). Don't see another huge jump on the cards for this coin today, although crypto has proved me wrong many times before.

    My passport and driving license are from different countries so trying to get ID verified on gdax taking its time, so can't get orders.

    Nothing wrong with taking profits, absolutely agree. My portfolio return in just over two months (when I panic sold LTC that I'd previously bought at 24 euro...) is just shy of 200%. But then I'm greedy and I want everything to go to the moon!

    Someone, somewhere was pumping Litecoin. Litecoin almost always follows bitcoin. When bitcoin went sideways yesterday (and today) Litecoin should have followed it. Bit suspicious, considering.

    Disclosure: I'm annoyed I didn't get in yesterday but FOMO is always a bad idea.

    This caused me no problems for verification. Swiss driving licence, Irish passport card id.

    I've an Irish passport, a UK driving license and I live in Spain. Combination of the 3 possibly causing the issue.

    Anyway, it's with support. It'll happen when it happens.

    For once, my timing was impeccable. Just put 80% of my portfolio in LTC at the start of the week. Cashed it all out this morning. Please some nice drops now over Christmas so I can go back in.

    I have tried getting my account verified by uploading a copy of my Passport, it failed the first two times, both very clear pictures, and you could see everything. I tried using the App and taking a photo, i get an error my picture is more than 5Mb, i have tried adjusting the resolution.

    Any ideas?

    I want to buy a chunk of Lite coin. I downloaded electrum wallet. I don't plan on day trading, I want to leave it for 6/12 months. Do you recommend transferring it all to the wallet, is there anything else that needs to be done?

    Well if that ends up like the current Bitcoin it will make a nice nest egg! Nobody here knows what will happen it's all a gamble! I had that cash spare so it don't bother me if it goes tits up.

    I only invested in Crytocurrency last week for the first time and decided to go with Litecoin.
    Safe to say I am delighted with myself.
    BUT I only invested with an amount I am willing to lose as we all know it can all go the other way at any time.
