Crypto Hodlers

Where y'all at? I hope you stayed the course these last 3 months because it's paying off. About a month ago I gave an opinion that bitcoin, ethereum and cardano were the coins to hold. Since then cardano has doubled from around $1 to $2. ETH was at a low of $1700 now $3200+. And good ol BTC was flirting with 30k now 46k.

I was criticized and chided by some members. One actually sounded like he knew what he was talking about, another who had a strange fascination with tulips, not sure what he was trying to say. He really liked tulips though I gathered that much.

But anyway, hope someone took my *definitely not financial* advice, I know I did

And I imagine if you have been in crypto before 2020 you already are doing well. My first investment was right at the peak of BTC when it was 60k (oops) but after the crash and crab movement the last 3 months I just accumulated more and now am quite in the green. The month of August has been insane. I've learned a lot of the basics of investing/crypto in the last 3-4 months.

I'm going to double down and repeat: BTC, ETH and ADA...still massively undervalued. ADA (Cardano) has smart contracts lined up for September (finally) ETH 2.0 is supposed to debut next year, and BTC is just the king, you gotta respect the O.G. BTC.

Id be a liar if I said I wasn't a little worried about another crash, seeing as it's already happened and definitely possible...but long term next year...or 2-5 years...it's just a no brainer. Digital assets are the future.

I also expect the U.S. government to try to regulate and ban them out of existence unless the bankers can own them all. In which case I am out of the country without a second thought. The countries that embrace crypto will be exponentially better to live in. And the direction America is going right now...yea I'm not so confident it's gonna be that great.

But prepare now. It's still early in the grand scheme of things. It's awesome how you can do your own research these days. Familiarize yourself with blockchain and smart contract technology. Podcasts and tweets from the inventors themselves. You can decide for yourself if you think it's just a con or a ponzi scheme. Just buy and hold, ignore the noise and clickbait videos, think long term. Let's see where we are at in 3 more months.

Most developed country's central banks are either in the process of implementing their own coin or exploring it. FedCoin/FedPay is going to be a thing shortly.

I was a high and mighty penny stock trader, amassed a small fortune, then lost most of it the same way it came. I got pissed off, sold everything, and put about 5 grand in Ethereum when it was at it's low. I'm a much happier guy now. less stress.

eta, I also did some stellar lumens. They have been doing well too.

I went cardano, AMP and dogecoin.

Dogecoin was a good choice, low of 14c up to about 21c now.

There will be plenty of winners in the future. Regulations are going to destroy a huge chunk of the market, mainly the shadier ponzi/scam coins just as it should. BTC, ETH, and ADA are solid bets although tech-wise they are dinosaurs. My focus is on the international banking/utility coins, specifically the ISO 2022-compliant ones. XRP, XLM, and XDC are my main holdings. There's a quiet revolution going on in the global financial system and the world banks are quickly gearing up for Klaus Schwab's Great Reset. The New World Order is incoming and none of us will be able to stop it, only thing left to do is keep informed and prepare.

If you want to 10X your money go get some RLY.

Check out their creator coin website , this is a winner and its still pretty cheap right now and recently got a coinbase listing.

I made $46 on dogecoin today

My BTC portfolio is doing just fine.

All of my assets in crypto were protected from the slide and have all been moved to Bitcoin at the bottom.

Time to ride the rest of this cycle.

Hell yeah dude.

Even my Doge coin is getting back on track.

I bought another paycheck worth of BTC when it was at 30k
Im really happy to see Cardano moving back up.
Ive been staking ADA for 2 years now while adding to my bags $100 or so at a time.
Its paying off nicely.

Now...if my crap coins can get back on track.
Would love to see some upward movement from my stack of safemoon.

If your into the NFT metaverse, check out Next Earth.
They were supposed to launch yesterday, but there was some issues.
So were are doing beta testing on the test net right now.

This is going to be big.
they made the earth into something like trillions of tiles. You buy land tiles for 10 cents each at the opening.
Popular landmarks are going to be big money makers on Opensea, or their own marketplace.

I suggest you look into it if you got some extra $ to drop on pure speculation lol.

I'm not in any of the projects you listed. I have used ETH for funding wallet, have used BTC to purchase online, and that's been my total exposure to the big two.

I've done okay in a half dozen projects, done really well in 3 or 4.

My portfolio sometimes stays static, but I try to move when I see the space providing opportunity.

I'm in XRP, Casinocoin, VeChain, BTR, and some small amounts of others.

I've been in many more. Most crypto can be profitable, but the timing is important.

Long term investment in crypto has an additional elevated risk until regulations arrive on scene. I believe that most projects will be regulated out of existence (as much as can be done for crypto) and won't see the same meteoric rise as the utility coins that survive. They'll likely restrict the licensed exchanges (which is happening) to certain classes of crypto and will exclude privacy tokens.

Illuvium is another one thats going to be huge. first video game on the ETH blockchain


Fight for ETH. Check it out and tell me its not gonna be huge . Its way up and the game hasnt launched


www.illuvium.io...

If anyone's interested I got the Coinbase-issued Visa debit card. You can load it through your Coinbase account using USDC coin then spend like cash while earning crypto rewards. I've got mine set to pay back 4% XLM on every purchase. Easy money!

I got it too.
I haven't used it for anything other than paying for my netflix and getting reimbursed for it.

I've collected a few more, namely the Uphold Mastercard and just recently the GlobaliD XRP Mastercard, which works through Uphold also. Haven't done much with those two yet, mainly because there's no way I'm letting go of any XRP at this time. Fourth Quarter should be exciting, historically that's when the crypto market really pops off.

My Cardano and Matic are doing great. I posted about Matic on this site earlier this year when it was only .30 and is currently like a 1.5. Hope a few jumped on it. The couple others I have, Skale and Ankr are still struggling but I’ve been able to pick up a bunch for cheap I guess.

I am staking a little Eth 2.0.

Good to see the ATS squad in the space. We going to the moon boys see you all there.

NFTs (Non fungible tokens) are going to be gigantic. Even in its infancy it's huge.

It's quite the contrast to be excited for the next few years instead of living in fear of the next 30 covid variants and everything else going on in the world. If crypto really blows up like 50x (only a matter of time, really) I could see it being the biggest wealth redistribution in human history. There would literally be 100 million new millionaires. Something the slave owners cannot allow. They will lose and we will win simple as that.

The middle class is getting erased and to me crypto is my opportunity to land on the wealthy side of the divide rather than slide into the basement with the rest of the unlucky ones. I've tried to wake up some of my friends and only two have taken me seriously and have started investing, the others look at me like I'm nuts. They can't say I didn't try.

My daughter and I are still in. We mine ethereum, but the upcoming upgrade (first of the year??) will put a stop to that and we will have to mine other crypto. (The upgrade should push the price a lot higher also.) Still have doge too.
