I’m wondering if Bitcoin is due to crash? It started off as 8c and is now worth over 40,000 euro!

I’ve invested in a few different coins...it’s a bit hit and miss but I wouldn’t put a lot into it

Coinbase rocks. You can earn free coins by going through their tutorials about them!! Been using them for a long time and my portfolio has really taken off this year! I don’t have a lot of money in it but I like to play with it because I can tell when something is down about ready to go up again, so I can make trades accordingly. Went from $ 112 to $ 237 at the highest just recently. It’s back at $ 220 now but think if I would’ve invested more! Virguy would do well if he had the money to invest. He’s the real brains when it comes to these things. I currently hold Algorand, Tezos, Bitcoin, BAT, Celo, Aave, and Dash. Wish I wouldn’t have traded my Maker and compound bc they took the fuck off!!!

Your entire portfolio went from $ 112 to $ 237 or just one coin?

Whole portfolio. I don’t have much in it, just dipping a toe in late. Better than never I suppose.

Bitcoin and Ethereum will rise exponentially over time. If you are a believer in the GME/AMC cause, cryptocurrency’s fight has always had a similar core. If I had hundreds of thousands of dollars, I’d invest in some coins but I don’t so until I do I’m just trying to do regular investment trades. I also wasn’t as into all this when the market crashed last year at the start of covid to take advantage (all my accounts were down anyway so I couldn’t have moved out money at a loss). Also if you buy significant amount of cryptos, pls transfer your keys. Not your keys, not your coins. I personally opened Kraken for crypto because of their better customer support.

Under there terms of service they have the right to close an account over "suspected" suspicious activity. Which is vague enough they enforce it frequently. I don't know if its intentional or a bug in their automated system.

Checking out their reddit you'll find a bunch of these

Aren't those called shekels?

I thought that was the dxp crypto currency.

I can see why you buy dogecoins

I can see why you have to give away shekels.

It can be a lot to absorb so I’ll just direct you to a Reddit discussion thread on the pros and cons of it. Basically there’s a significant amount of distrust of our government and crypto exchanges (I think exchanges in general these days have been revealing to be sketch like Robinhood). People who invest huge amounts want to feel as much control over their Bitcoin assets as much possible.

Just another financial game.

Simply put = Made Up Resources (so called Bitcoin). Not that different than what we call today "Money". Sure, in the beginning - money used to stand for real resources (a document made by X Bank - which reflected the gold Y individual stored in that Bank). But now, most of it is just made-up. It's just a game - that works only if the majority believe in it. Same goes for Bitcoin. Enough people started to take that game for real - and little by little it started to gain value in the real-world. I remember a time - when Bitcoin - was used in online games to buy in-game items. In games like Atlantica Online - some would buy rare items for 10 Bitcoins each. Had multiple such items - but i didn't believe in it (seem more like made-up Monopoly money to me - even a scam), so i ignored such requests - even found it laughable. Yet, others thought otherwise. Not quite the same, but in a way - you can even compare it to "Baseball Cards" - where the latest releases are quite cheap - yet, some old cards in good condition - are worth millions of $ each. But that - only because some Baseball Cards fanatics - keep raising their value (maybe even by washing dirty money at some auction).

If, one day we'll face another cataclysm - like - a Super-volcano erupting - followed by an ice age. Games like this - will start to loose their credibility. And once again - money will be replaced by barter (most people will value only real resources or a skill). Not there yet, so... we're still playing. (:

I think we're going further and further towards fiat style regulation.

By the time certain coins will be standardized (transactions, which is the case for certain coins that possess very specific purposes), they will no longer be as investable. That's my opinion. Some coins are so high in value that they're devaluing fiat currencies.

What coins are you currently holding?

Stick with Bitcoin.

Not your keys not your Bitcoin simply means that exchanges control your Bitcoin. It gets a little technical but Bitcoin wallets like blue wallet or green address walk you through the process of controlling your Bitcoin.

Again, only stick with Bitcoin. These other coins get exploited all the time.

Quite a lot of them have dropped since yesterday, inc XRP, Bitcoin, XLM etc Elle.

Ripple is dead, if you haven't sold you should do so now before you're stuck with bags.

Says who?

Well they're under investigation by the SEC and have been removed from most exchanges. the co-owner is dumping millions a day this would all be very concerning if I was invested in Ripple.

Just like a lot of people thought it was a dead cert Trump would be impeached, it may never happen?

I'm not too worried as I haven't invested an amount i can't afford to lose

It’s still early. Tesla buying into it is evidence. It’s only a matter of time until others join in too, which will drive up the price. You can purchase fractions of Bitcoin. The value of the dollar is becoming worthless, they’re just printing money like it’s nothing. Bitcoin is more of a safe haven to park your money.

Yes, 100% . But be prepared to hold onto it even when it fluctuates and dips. Don’t panic sell. I buy in small amounts due to the dips and I would buy a lot more right now if I weren’t saving for a down payment on a house. Do your research and understand how it works. You’ll feel better about buying Bitcoin if you believe in what it stands for.

Also, do not invest more than you can afford to lose. I highly suggest having an emergency fund in liquid cash in case you need cash quick. I have about $ 10k saved in cash in a high yield savings account and the rest in Bitcoin.

What cryptocurrencies are actually being used as currency and are accepted in places of business that aren't Bitcoin?

Cryptocurrency has been gaining lots of traction but for all the wrong reasons. It's all a bunch of investors trying to get rich quick now.

XRP is
