possibly the worst thing about this crash...
All the shit I have to hear in the office.
The god damn "i-told-ya-so" from John. "I have no idea how stocks or anything like that work but i know bullshit when i see it. I can't believe people were dumb enough to buy fake money."
Yea ok mate, if i need a status update on that box of donuts in the break room, you're my go-to guy. other than that? shut up and go back to being shit at your job.
Then you've got Becky, flapping her useless mouth in the background who "knew" bitcoin was a scam when her boyfriend's Sister's cousin told her that the "bitcoin inventor guy" posted on his website that he was selling all his bitcoin.
"Money can't just be numbers on screens, that's not how money works. it has to be something you can hold as well! With all this net neutrality stuff going on you'd be crazy to invest in money that they can just shut down with the flick of a switch!"
Becky, last week i heard you ask the IT guy if you needed two mice plugged in to your computer if you want to use two screens at once and now you have a working knowledge of both the monetary system, crypto currencies AND the internet?! that's very impressive.
I have no idea why this is annoying me so much, I just found the need to rant while waiting for a meeting to start.
Don't be a John or a Becky

It is no surprise though that you choose now to start posting in this thread.

I have to say it's invcredibly fun, I even have a crypto group now that is great fun to take part in. I also am looking in to creating a blockchain and messing around, it''s so simple but such a brilliant concept.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostThe main markets tend to rise more quickly in a recovery, as compared to the periphery markets, so I'd be more tempted by bitcoin itself if ye were going back in.
With recovery however BTC may double in the short term, with some coins it's much more which is driving them more recently.

I have some crypto (know zero about it like most people). All I read when trying to look for info is
- 'I think these coins are undervalued.'
- 'Why?'
- 'Shoulder shrug/silence/points to random white paper/more people will read this and want to jump on, raising the price.'
I can see why blockchain/technology behind companies would be used by other companies but why are the coins connected to these companies/tech worth anything? Why not just use the technology, adapt it to your business and leave these coins behind?Last edited by Charlie Sheen; 17-01-18, 20:10.

I linked it before on the BBV but some may have missed it, it's very informative and they explain the blockchain technology well. It's worth a listen.

I wish I could self-ban myself from Blockfolio until 31st-Dec, can't keep up with this madness but at the same time is just too much fun refreshing that screen 20 times/day in the good and in the bad !"Poker isn’t about default strategies, it’s about exploiting your opponent's bad tendencies"

The next futures dates are around January 27/28th, it will be interesting to see if there is a similar dump & rebound.

Polk seems to have gained a decent amount of traction in the crypto space. He has just promoted a specific altcoin for the first time on this channel that I have seen. Coin is LUXcoin. Interested to see what kind of a pump he gives the coin. The video is only up around half an hour and already has 5k views. Coin was about $30 at the time of him posting.
LUXcoin is a project that I believe has a great deal of potential. It is a privacy coin that features a hybrid of proof-of-stake and proof-of-work. It also i...

OprThe live LUXCoin price today is $0 USD with a 24-hour trading volume of $0 USD. We update our LUX to USD price in real-time.
+20% as of now. Did any other channel promote the same coin the past 12 hours? Just trying to understand the potential impact of Polk's influence on this (and future) prices."Poker isn’t about default strategies, it’s about exploiting your opponent's bad tendencies"

His videos also get a decent amount of traction on reddit . That following though has always praised the fact that he doesn't shill coins so remains to see what the reaction will be like to this video. No doubt it has had an impact as relative the market the coin is up huge. Alts are generally down 7% since his video while LUX has gone in the other direction.

What does everyone make of these Tether/Bitfinex rumors? If Tether implodes I think given the links and the implications of what they have been doing, it would mean a catastrophic crash in the Crypto markets. The whole thing is beyond shady.
They confirmed today that they have servered links with audit firm Friedman.

Bloomberg - U.S. Regulators Subpoena Crypto Exchange Bitfinex, Tether
I think this is old enough news but now being reported in mainstream media which is bound to cause some panic.

Love the quote on why they severed link with auditor
We confirm that the relationship with Friedman is dissolved. Given the excruciatingly detailed procedures Friedman was undertaking for the relatively simple balance sheet of Tether, it became clear that an audit would be unattainable in a reasonable time frame. As Tether is the first company in the space to undergo this process and pursue this level of transparency, there is no precedent set to guide the process nor any benchmark against which to measure its success.
Have they not heard of kpmg?

To be honest you just have to embrace the the shadiest of it all. I am currently deeply involved in XRB. The whole situation around it is insane. So they setup this coin on a new technology called a block lattice. It was flat enough for a long period in the market but underwent an enormous growth in a very short time. It went from under a dollar to 30 bucks in the space of around a month.
They at that time only had one small exchange that served all the XRB trading, BitGrail. They have since introduced another small one and Binance is due to launch at any time. The current situation is incredible though. The owner of BitGrail the small exchange trading it allowed deposit/withdrawals for months with no issues. Now that he realises the exchange is going under he is pulling all shorts of shady moves.
He firstly forced people to start doing KYC. Crashed the market. He posted today that he won't allow people outside Europe to withdraw XRB full stop so the only way they have out is to terminate the account and convert to BTC to withdraw. This completely crashed the price. You even had a situation earlier where the same coin was trading on BitGrail for 11 as people dumped it trying to get money out as opposed to 17 on KuCoin. He is basically controlling the price of the coin and able to gobble them up for himself on the exchange by forcing people to sell them at a hugely reduced price. Thankfully while I did buy on BitGrail, I sent them to a wallet straight after each time.
Complete wild, wild west.

GFYHG. Should have never doubted investosaurous. BTC touched $7.3k on GDax yesterday and looked like the only place it was going was down. Massive buy orders flooded in at that point and it is currently on the rampage back up. These markets certainly aren't for the faint of heart but if you can time entrys you can do unbelievably well. Same obviously goes for the flip side.
