Is anyone else starting to become a bit excited?

I'm relatively new to Crypto so forgive my ignorance, I hear a lot of reference to bull and bear markets, I know what these are but I'm curious, what determines the length of each? In a bull market is a bear market inevitable? Do you think it'll be a longer bull market this time around given the influx of institutional money?

Have a look at GME over 6 months.

The is no guarantee in anything and past does not reflect the future.

If something went up and down in history but is on the up overall there is nothing to say it won't go way down in the future.

Dot com comes to mind but many coins will be gone and off no value.

So, I have been doing some research into new startups coming online in the near future. One that looks exciting is Mina. Anyone got any views or looked at it already? BTW, am not advocating Mina, am just expressing an interest. Am bought in already for the long haul with btc, eth, link and nmr.

I want to start with a small lump sum

2K - Ethereum
1K - Bitcoin
1K - Lite coin

Then DCA every pay day.

Never a bad time to start, just bad times to sell. Even those that bought right before the last crash at $20k are up 300% if they didn't sell and take the loss.

If you are in it for the long haul and are willing to see out the next crypto winter then it doesn't matter.

I wouldn't bother with lite coin. I'd spread that 1k across. Chain link, BAT, Cardano, ZIL, HBAR, MANA and NEO.

Then tip in what you can for years to come.

Go for it. No guarantees but there's still huge potential imo. Try and do as much homework as you can. I'm not long in myself. I've talked to a few friends who've been involved for a while now. Currently watching crypto banter on YouTube every day. Most importantly, learn how to put stops in your trades.

Historically yes, now is a bad time to buy crypto. However, if you are determined, then DCA is the "best" approach - it goes up, don't buy, it goes down (significantly) then buy. If we do enter a bear market, be prepared to wait years for a return (if ever)

Disclaimer: no one has any clue what's going to happen next, there could be another crazy run this year, there could be a crazy crash, no one really knows.

I wouldn't be arsed with LTC tbh. I'd say your rate of return would be better with other coins. Are you using revolut and that's why you picked LTC?

Has the VeChain boat sailed? Is it wise to buy any at around 9 cents now?

I hovered over it yesterday but didn't pull the trigger as I thought it was too late for me to get in. I'd like to know what others think of it.

Bought few different at midday dip.

The nerves will gone watching this but it's small amount and bit of craic.

Euro not USD

I'm the same as you, was kinda nervous but it really was a small buy. $win went from -25% to +30% USDT at one point this morning. I am of the opinion you can throw darts at a wall atm and make money... you can of course get the floor pulled from underneath you too...

If XRP get back over 0.80 and XLM is back over 0.40 I'm happy.

Anybody buying any dips today? Choppy out there.

Bought a tiny amount of $wink for the lols, hovering around -25% in 24 hours, do not recommend btw, I'm just trying something out.

Unbelievable.

I took a punt at XRP when it nosedived to 17c.

It seems to be a hated coin but man it feels good

Likewise at .18 and again at .22. Actually my 2nd investment in crypto after ETH. I'm a good time story so far... long may it last.

Well anyone with XRP can thank me. I sold the bit I had and then it shot up in price and bought ETH and now that isn't moving. Yea you can thank me that eth will probably do really **** now.

edit: flexcon you're welcome.

Is anyone holding KIN? It is up 22,500% since it's ATL in January 2020 but is still way below it's ATH from January 2018.

I bought some around December 2018 (as did a couple of others here I remember) I watched it crash with the market and never recover due to the SEC investigation. Dipped in a bit more over time through trading XLM for KIN when it was on the XLM chain.

It has now cleared it's dealings with the SEC and moved to Solano chain. The token is in the top 10 of used tokens bit KIN still sits outside the top 100. Plenty of potential to grow here still. I have 10m KIN that were worth around $50 last year, now worth $5k.

Currently priced at .00049c

Where can we pick some up mate?
