While you were all focused on BTC

I sent .015 Ethereum to binance and bought TRX. They charge .01 Ethereum to transfer your ethereum out of Binance. I think that is a little steep. I was a little disapointed in that. I thought about sending a little more to pick up more TRX but I am waiting to see if ethereum makes a comeback.

Yeah, all of the transfer fees are a bit on the high side. Then, that's how they make theirs....but yeah, steep. I'm still fine-tuning the buy process. I know the steps, but there's some finesse to it, to get the most for your buck.

I tried a small move on coinbase yesterday sold a little high and bought back a little lower. I made a few dollars after the $2 fee for selling and buying back.

I'm learning a little along the way. Was thinking about doing it again. But the problem with that is I'm afraid that the price will keep going up when I sell a little.

To make any money selling just a little bit, there needs to be a significant price decrease to buy back in.

I gotta stop watching this.

Before the weekend I was up $150 overall.

Now I'm $28 up over all.

At least my $1.00/day mining card is consistent .

I look once a day at mid-day unless I'm in a discussion here.

Looking every day all the time will make you nervous.

a reply to: liejunkie01

That's a day trading technique.

If you're going to buy crypto and you want those gains over time, just buy and hold.

Great, IOTA got hacked for a whole lot of money and now there's all this # coming out about what is going on with them. I'm glad I don't own a whole hell of a lot of it. But I am going to sell what I have left. No, nothing was stolen from me. But the fact remains, their quantum resistant network got hacked by an unknown entity and a bunch of money was stolen.

IOTA, the network behind the 11th most valuable cryptocurrency in the world by market cap (MIOTA), is coming under an attack on social media and community forums. The technology behind the project is accused of enabling an apparent exit scam or hack which cost users about $4 million, according to reports.

This is not the first time IOTA has come under attack. Back in December the project received a lot of public scorn for allegedly over hyping a “partnership” with Microsoft

Steemit

And it's up 10% according to coinmarketcap/Coingecko.

Was one of the ones I was looking into, so guess it's making it easier to narrow down my list, hehe...

Yeah, I've gone to only checking it about twice a day now...once in the morning, once in the evening. The only time I check it more often now, is on a day where I'll be buying some....and that's just so I can gauge the low point better, and try and buy when lowest on that day.

With Binance's minimum trade amount though, will have to put a bit more in to start getting into those other currencies, but since I'm only doing so with money I can afford to lose, just about timing.

Now IOTA is down to 4%

a reply to: neo96

Pretty much just right where it was Mon. morning, so hasn't fluctuated too much overall this week...despite the news.

Still though, since I already wanted to weed down my list, it makes it easy to pass on this one.

a reply to: Gazrok

It sucks because the project is, at least on its face, a worthwhile one.

a reply to: projectvxn

Yeah, the tangle ledger is still a good idea, so we'll see what happens.
But, I'm sure this is going to put a hurting on new investment into it, at least for a bit.

a reply to: Gazrok

They are gonna have to prove that they have fixed these issues, and now they're gonna have to pay a lot of people back, potentially.

This hack may end IOTA.

So the Weiss ratings came out today. Mixed feelings from me. However more importantly, the futures contracts are up on Friday.

My tinfoil is starting to rattle. Anyone else?

I think the next batch will be long on BTC.

a reply to: projectvxn

I've heard that sentiment echoed elsewhere. Another Bitcoin run would make quite a few folks quite abit more money, obviously.

I just have this suspicion that there are some players that are manipulating a very large part of the market. However, the only negative I can think of is that if it's exposed, then trust is gone and thus a massive proportion of crypto.

a reply to: JinMI

Manipulation is widespread.

While the ideology cries for deregulation, the behaviors of many in the market is begging for it.

a reply to: projectvxn

Makes me wonder if there is something that can be done via protocol rather than outside regulation.
