    Lets talk exchanges. I have accounts on these.

    Bittrex: my favorite, the most popular, and the most difficult to get coins on. Rarely ever see deposits or withdrawals suspended. Def the one i trust the most. Best volume.

    Poloniex: seems fine, actually like the ui but ive yet to look for a coin that i could only find there. Good volume.

    Coss: best ui. Super low volume. Hopefully can get people looking at it more soon. Charts are weird tho.

    Cryptopia: the place for micro cap coins. Currently holding some lux. Not sure i trust the site for real

    Binance: honestly cant find an appeal here outside of wtc and iota (q4 2017 pump and dump coin that is actually trash). Theres an app, not sure i trust it. Most importantly though, theres no stops and theres simply no excuse for that shit. Advanced exchange looks nice but like with all these, tradingview is a better option.
     
  5. What makes you think IOTA is trash? It's growth obviously seems unsustainable but recent partnerships suggest they must be on to something.

    The folks at Microsoft and Samsung are collaborating with them on a huge project but BigMoobz69lulz from the internet says it sucks so never mind I’ll sit it out

    people like ripple. doesn't mean it's a coin that's going to change anything. profit can be made from both but iota is trying to do too many things differently than everyone else. don't trust it. the crypto guys i follow don't trust it. so i'm not going to be buying any to hodl.

    but i'll gladly buy more next time it's doing something like it has been over the last few days.

    Just popping in for my weekly, “holy shit wtf is going on it’s up 30% in like 4 days”

    A week ago people were hyping it breaking $10K for the first time now $13K is in sight today.

    So I joined a pump and dump group on discord to see what they do. It's a big scam, yes there are few that make money (the ones who pick the coins) but the rest are just pawns and get stuck with so many bags. Kinda funny hearing everyone complain after a pump.

    Ya it's wild. I have another $20k I'm hoping to invest in gdax but would prefer not to do it at 13k.

    Every time it goes up I think “I can’t justify this, it can’t keep doing this”, and every week I regret that decision.

    What am I missing here? On the Gdax "withdraw" page it lists withdrawing to a BTC address as "BTC network transfers are fast and free."

    Any ideas what's going on with BTC? Some of it must be people fleeing ETH due to cryptokitties but that can't be all of it.

    Haven’t really been keeping up with the thread but anyone thinking about buying the “Petro” from Venezuela if it ever comes out? I got a feeling it’s going to fail just like everything Venezuela touches.

    You 2 are feuding and I’d guess you’re being sarcastic, but I’m assuming he’s talking about the 9k to 14.4k gain in the last ~10 days.

    Up ~20% today while some of the other big alts are roughly even or down.

    I won’t attempt to explain today, but since I’ve been involved there have been plenty of day/week runs where seemingly everyone sold out of alts to ride a btc run.

    You don’t think it could be anticipation of futures markets opening this weekend/next week?

    Could be. Futures market has been known about for awhile though so theoretically it should be priced in already.

    I figured today was due to the lightning payment trial. If not, the run is simply due to awareness. I finally bought in about ten days ago and it's up a lot since then. And I've talked about it with family/friends/coworkers since then.

    Pretty much down to BTC and XMR exclusively.

    Sold off every other alt at a profit (ETH, WTC, OMG, MTL, VTC, PAY, ARK, ENG, SUB), except LINK (-16%), but still down relative to BTC’s gains :/ ... Might’ve gotten fancy here. Has any alt gained relative to BTC?

    this btc train is not fucking stopping. it's going to surpass 13k, 14k, and it's looking like 15k all today/tonight.

    Curious at this strategy. By all accounts BTC is due for a correction. Several ALTs are showing strong promise, and figure even more money will flow back into them once the correction does happen. Or is this simply you getting early enough to have made enough profit to comfortably exit?

    I just ask since it seems even now would be a good idea to get into some ALTs (REQ, ARK) just due to recent positive news. If the whole market crashes I don't think any coin will be safe.
