    Did you buy any? I got only 1500 free which is under 200 euros

    If people got them and then forgot about them then they'll be gone as there was a time where you had to transfer from a username / pass based account to private and public key

    what service did you use to cash out? I'm holding onto mine longer term anyway

    I had over 2200 from doing the sharing around trick at the the start.

    Transferred them into Bitrrex this morn and sold them for 320 usd worth of bitcoin. I forgot all about them.

    Quite happy.

    I had completely forgot about this and I was able to upgrade my account and hold onto my lumens. I have 4400 all got for free, is this seriously worth around €750 now?

    My original account says that I've 500 lumens but when I upgraded my account it says I've zero and need to transfer 21 to another account to activate the account. Do I need to buy these? Where and how to I buy and transfer these?

    You might have to join a trading site called Bittrex.

    Change them into bitcoin.
    https://stellarorg.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003913323-Sending-lumens-XLM-to-Bittrex

    Then join coinbase and move them into your bank.

    Or hold them for the next Bitcoin pump.

    Then change them.

    Im sure there may be a simpler way, but thats what I did.

    Fair play to whomever created the original thread - I only partook at the time to see what was going on. I've a total of 500 odd that I've moved to my Bitrex account in the past few days. Thankfully I have been following the various instructions over the years and kept up to speed with the changes.
    I've another 500 odd in a seperate account which hasn't been upgraded however I am working on sorting that out now.

    I think I'll hold onto them all for the minute anyway.

    I just bought back into them.

    Might be a winner.

    Lumens are inflationary though. There's already a supply of almost 18 billion Lumens and that supply is increasing at 1% per annum.

    No problems but I've been using it for a few months now and not just lumen. They've recently started stopping and reviewing US based accounts I think but not general accounts.

    1451 of them. Worth $400. Somehow in two different wallets. Might hold onto them a bit as they cost me nothing and I’ve no plan for them.

    I keep getting transaction failed. Anyone any ideas what the problem might be? I'm getting charged the transaction fee every time I try...

    EDIT: I figured out my mistake. I had left the required 20 XLM in the account but hadn't left enough for the transaction fee (.00001XLM). In case anyone else has the same issue.

    My 881 new XLM are worth about €210 In my Kraken account. I did literally nothing except sign up for a stellar account in 2014. I can't remember in the slightest why I did and I'm 100% sure I didn't do the sharing craic others in the OP's thread were doing. What a lovely result.

    There are a few wishful projections of $2-5 dollars for XLM, imagine that for doing nutin'??

    Hard to know where the value will go. But at the end of the day they didn't cost anything so not too relevant.

    Crystal ball stuff. No relevance once you didn't put real money into them in the first instance.
    These Cryptos are random enough from what I can tell.

    There's already a supply of almost 18 billion Lumens and increasing, to reach 4 figures now, the market cap would have to be $18 trillion! That's about 30 times larger than all cryptocurrencies in existence today combined. :pac:

    That's an interesting question!

    The coins need to be bought in order to enable their economic use (if it's that kind of token, like XLM or XRP) and for as long as the users believe that it'll get use institutionally, they'll pile on with the belief that large MNCs will start buying them for their own use re: International monetary movement and liquidity, and that'll drive the price up. And so it does.

    There's always an equilibrium at the top where people get burnt no matter what the coin or token does. Same with shares in a company - somebody always buys the top and gets rekt.

    You could ask the same about any crypto. Indeed, you could ask the same about gold. It has very little intrinsic value.

    It's a completely open secondary market where people can potentially make serious bank buying/selling/holding articially created digital assets

    Some of them do stuff, some don't, some are even used by industry, but generally speaking it's the "get rich" and "make money" parts that attract the vast bulk of interest

    It's the unregulated casino of investment, everything else looks boring in comparison

    Except that many of these investments are supposed to be currencies, which are the opposite of investment instruments

    So for all this blurb about crypto-"currencies", the market says **** that, and treats them like speculative digital precious metals

    It's still very much in the growing stage. This kind of volatility will die down as their use grows, and, yeah, the speculative stage is very much like the gold rush, but once it really starts bearing down and taking over it'll start working just like cash. Don't worry about it!
    Plus it democratises IPOs. That's good, no?
