    Apparently you will get them 30th Oct. Not going to happen though. Just a scam to get people buying the token sale.

    You might get them. Only they will be worthless by the time you do; and that’s after you 1) promoted the shïtcoin for free as you’ve a vested interest in it, 2) hopefully have given the founders Bitcoin or Eth for worthless coins during the presale.

    It’s a simple scam wrapped up in complex jargon about defi, banning the unbanked, and other hopium.

    What are yer thoughts on Theta? Looks a solid project that's actually making yearly revenue.

    Might be a bit of a FOMO now but I'll be holding long term. Think it's just outside the top 30 in market cap reckon this could be a gem in next few years. Obviously would love a pullback to under 30 cents at least

    I got in about 2 months ago when it was $0.31

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=114404926&postcount=4365

    Its one of those that I feel like I should have got a lot more at that price but thats life

    anything back down in the 50-55c range and I'm back in. I've got a bit of ETH on standby aswell if it drops below 0.0019 ETH

    Theta missed the last bull market so they have yet to have one so potential is big

    Yeah hope it dips a little first but doesn't seem likely.

    Two others that are drawing my attention are RSR and DGB. If I could get both under a cent, it might be good business with a potential Coinbase listing

    I picked up a "few" DGB months ago below 1.5c

    if you thought XRP moved fast, DGB is even quicker

    Jesus, the arse has really fallen out of that DeFi stuff.

    090301-A9-F083-4-DB2-9734-B51-FA20-BEEC5.jpg

    I think people started getting cold feet when they realised decentralised finance meant it was their finances that were being decentralised. Into the pockets of the creators.

    Hope no one got stung too badly.

    Square have joined Microstrategy and lumped $50,000,000 into Bitcoin this week.

    That's really cool. When Pompliano interviewed Michael Saylor of Microstrategy a couple of weeks ago, Saylor questioned why Dorsey wouldn't make a similar move.

    DYOR of course. Not too sure me posting about crypto is a buy signal, but it ain’t my money you’re spending so knock yourself out and I hope you make a shít load of money. Real money.

    Won't make a bit of difference to the price though. Greyscale etc have been spending billions buying all the newly mined BTC but were still at just over 50% of the all time high. :cool:

    Orange pilled.

    The 1 million dollar Bitcoin question is: is that the beginning of a trend for corporate entities to park some of their cash into Bitcoin, or are these isolated cases?

    (it seems like Square’s acquisition makes Bitcoin less than 1% of the total company assets; this is not insignificant but given how much Jack Dorsey has been praising Bitcoin, it can’t be called a very bold move either).

    Quick Q that'll get lost in the abyss by tomorrow - if I want to invest 100€ a month into Crypto, would BTC be the safest one to go with? Or something like LTC or ETH. Not looking for lambo money just something better than 0.1% savings account

    My recommendation would be bitcoin.

    Yeah was thinking it's probably the best one for now - would Coinbase be okay?

    It's still very significant. It's not as significant as MicroStrategy's move but it's about building momentum. These are two publicly listed companies answerable to shareholders. They pave the way for others to follow suit.
    And it has moved the dial on the price today - if only just a smidgen.

    All crypto is high risk - so I'd suggest that you size the amount of crypto you buy accordingly. As it stands today, bitcoin remains the least risky of them all. However, I have to qualify that by saying that this is a dynamic sector that's moving at pace. If you are going to put what to you are significant funds into this, then it would be worthwhile to take an ongoing interest in learning more about it.

    Their fees are expensive. Try Binance, Kraken or Bitstamp.

    I'd go half Bitcoin and half Monero. While all the crypto traders and theorists talk about future possibilities, in the real world the darknet markets are switching to Monero and it is one of the few cryptos that is actually being used. It has also proven to be fairly resilient to the recent fluctuations and corrections.

    Binance would be a good solution for your needs. €0.50 deposit fee for your bank transfer and then low enough transaction and transfer fees when you buy your crypto and transfer it to a wallet.

    Bitcoin and ETH.

    ETH fees are getting very expensive

    I'd stick with BTC and maybe one of the staking tokens for a relatively small passive income

    A lot of people I know, and I suspect also people here, are making decent money. Keep in mind you were posting that BTC was "dead" when it hit 3k in 2018, Chainlink might be down 50% from ATH this year, but it's still up 100's or 1000's of percent for those of us who bought it in 2019, at time when you were claiming, for the umpteenth time, that crypto was dead.

    Whether you (and I) think this is dog**** doesn't matter, that's a different conversation. The fact of the matter is, the money gains are there, they are very real, and in certain cases are exceptionally good. 300% in a year is a godsmacking investment by any definition, in crypto it's relatively "meh". So yes, in fairness, you are a bit of a buy signal :)

    Edit: Chainlink is up 17% in 24 hours, YFI 45%.

    You need Johnny to fire up the old Pintman Paddy Losty account (the one who also just happens to also get multiple voting cards in the post like Johnny does and thinks its okay to vote multiple times in elections and referendums while calling other people scumbags) and get him in on the action aswell for confirmation.

    I've made up all my losses and much more in the last year. If I stopped investing at the peak I would have lost almost everything. Not bad for a guy who put in most of his money just prior to the crypto crash.
    I'm confident I'm going to make more gains too. Have to be in the game long term, that's the key. Ride the ups and downs of a maturing and still expanding crypto market.
