SteelPenn Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 I have been working on my cryptocurrency portfolio and would like to hear what members from around the world feel about these four forms, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Ripple. I invested in all four of these and would love opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJMitchell Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 If you invested $100 in bitcoin in 2011 your initial $100 worth of bitcoin in May 2017 would've been worth $482,666.67. If only we had time machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 I'm long Ethereum myself. I love all cryptocurrency, but I feel Ethereum has the most growth potential long term. The hard fork that could be coming to bitcoin in the next 6-8 months could cause some crazy volatility. Long term effect is a guessing game imo. Corporate support for the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) is growing after 86 firms including State Street, Toyota, Merck, ING, Broadridge and Rabobank joined the collective that is seeking to use blockchain technology to run smart contracts at Fortune 500 companies. JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, CME Group, BNY Mellon and other large multinationals are already EEA members, having joined when it was established in February 2017. Big business knows blockchain is the future and it seems like they are going towards Ethereum. Corperations like this make all the rules and have all the money. I want to be on their side when it comes to the crypto of the future. Of course I could be dead wrong, but this is the way I'm leaning at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only we had time machines. If I had a time machine I wouldn't be doing anything with bitcoin, I'd be going back to 2002 and playing the winning lottery numbers that I had and didn't play, then traveling forward to 2004, going over to Harvard, tracking down Zuckerberg, and telling him I want to invest in The Facebook project he's working on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itakebrides Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 I wouldn't keep to much bitcoin if i were you .The markets are moving away from it due to high fees and transaction times .I feel the crash will be coming in 3-6 months when the full effects come to ahead Ripple i would also bail on .The banks are making there own blockchains taking all ripples value away .also they can add more coins anytime they what so it can become pretty much worthless anytime the devs what to bail . Litecoin and Ethereum are pretty solid so they should make you a nice return and are safe for the the forseeable future . I know 2 very good coins that are under the radar .There tech are awesome and are not on the main exchanges yet .When they get on ploniex bitrex there value will rocket .

itakebrides Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 fuck thats insane. how do you invest in either? i dont even understand what they are. it pretty easy once you get used to it .You can buy bitcoins here https://paxful.com/ .Once you have then you can buy other coins like Litecoin and Ethereum here https://poloniex.com/ .Never invest any money you cant afford to lose due .It works best for disposable income that you can leave for 6 months and dont care if you lose .

Monsieur.Camara Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 I sued to play a lot of online poker and online sports betting back in 2009-2013 On some sites it was much easier to transfer via bitcoin so I got me some, not a lot because I never really believed in it. I stopped playing online poker about 4 years ago and last summer I discovered I had left some bitcoins in my account... imagine my surprise when I realized I had about 3K worth of this currency The funniest part is, it took 30 days to withdraw it and in those 30 days my money again grew by like 25% just crazy crazy shit. I now wish I had left at least 60-75 bitcoins in my account which at the time was a very small amount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 be very very careful with these, especially bitcoin right now. One day it's up 50% the next it's down 10000% and worth nothing. The bubble of bitcoin will pop soon enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrClean Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 be very very careful with these, especially bitcoin right now. One day it's up 50% the next it's down 10000% and worth nothing. The bubble of bitcoin will pop soon enough On the day you wrote this Bitcoin was at about $7380. Today it's around $16,600. 1- that percentage drop has never even been close to occuring due to its impossibility. 2- predicting a bubble popping..........genius? Do I want to take advice from all the brilliant financial advisors telling me to stay away from the biggest monetary bubble in the history of mankind OR do I want to take advice from guys who told me about the greatest investment in the history of mankind? It's all about perspective. I went to Hawaii last week and when i got back it turned out my money had almost tripled. Hate it when that happens!!

Trump2020 Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 You dont have to be to smart to understand that it will drop at some point. The real question is when it will happen? Probably not as soon as some of you might think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrClean Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 How did you triple your money on bitcoin when it hasnt even doubled in last month? I own mostly Litecoin and some Ether.
