I have just checked my answer, I did wonder why you had bumped it, and I am certain that my answer is correct. 100% certain. I'm sure it said fudger squared in your calculations, I'm also not sure that's proper algebra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacko Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Is there any skill to choosing a certain cryptocurrency to invest in?, as far as my thick skull can make out is that there are hundreds of them with little information to go on. It’s like trying to back the winner of the grand national with no form to study. I’m reading of a Goldman Sachs exec that’s retired due to his dogecoin windfall..so what was his edge?

This could be complete bollocks so take with a pinch of salt. But I basically researched what blockchains were and then look at everything as a business/project. What does it need to actually work. Then looked at top 30 listing. Researched the teams and companies, looked at their plans and experience and kinda made personal judgement calls from there.

This is why XRP (XLM IS ALSO 99% IDENTICAL as it's co-founcer Jed Mccaleb created both) could be adopted more but it'd be better to have a number of cryptos as payments not just 1.

As far as I can see there are two types of crypto investers, exhibit A. @ColourMeUp who has enough folding to choke a horse who will happily sit on his bitcoins steadily gaining modest profit, exibit B. @Blacko who sticks a ton fifty into dogecoin expecting to run to the travel agents 3 days later to book a holiday in the Maldives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are saying that it will be big for the last 9 years since its release and it was pumped once and never really recovered after, we are in the record high bullish run and its still €1.09. Its a coin that is good for banks but will never be huge and its basically like dogecoin in that regard. I mean if you are a gambler you stick few quids in every coin you can think of and not give a fuck and what ever happens, happens but if you want to make a real investment with decent money you should not do that and based on what I read above you understand that.

Thats why serious people involved in crypto and blockchain dont like it. Crypto was created to get away from banks and their bullshit not to make the same shit just on a different platform.

Elon must have conveniently forgotten how much rare earth minerals need mined to make his Teslas, this is why all this talk of one day everyone will be driving electric cars can never happen, there are not enough rare earht minerals on the planet to allow this.

I get what it was supposed to do, and yea ur right its a bankers coin, but bankers coin or not I'm bullish on it esp my entry price on it & not anywhere near it's prev ath, & after lawsuit regardless what the coin is, it's gonna surge perhaps not sustain those levels but it will short term. where I'll sell off 60-70% into stable.

The way I see it is the crypto bubble is no different to the Dot.com bubble, for every Amazon there will be a dozen Pets.com, a few will survive and thrive while most will die. I try and choose cryptos that have a purpose and solve a problem and stay away from the ones that don't. At the moment with all the money printing and currency debasement just about everything will go up though, the crypto market does in a month what the stock market does in a few years. Edit - Goldman Sachs edge is they are crooked manipulating barstewards. Edited May 13, 2021 by Mad Slasher McGurk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every coin on the market is good for that if you buy it at the right time or for short term. I would rather not support something that is good for banks if I have the same options on the other side. Anyways I just wanted to explain why btc investors or any other "serious" investors and blockchain enthusiasts dont like xrp or similar coins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
