    If you're going to get nervous over a 10% swing then you should sell now and never look at crypto again.

    Calm down and hold.

    Buying sounds like he FOMOed too much. I was down after the first few weeks, due to GRS pump and dump but then started to DYOR and found POWR and that got me out of the hole and into the green. PUlled initial out so im being way riskier now.

    Guys, you can look at my posting history and see I love to gamble. Here’s a thought for those married or a significant other

    Southwest companion pass...get the Sw card and the SW business card. Buy btc pay the 3% on coinbase for ltc, eth, or btc probably ltc due to lower fees and higher % roi over 30 days. Hit your min spend and pull out and get BOGO flights for two years

    Stop trading, load up on FCT (and BTC to reduce volatility), be patient and wait for a year. You will be well rewarded. They will be making announcements of some of their partnerships in Q1 or Q2 of 2018. The following is just the tip of the iceberg for the potential this coin offers. This protocol is going to be used heavily in a number of important industries. My portfolio is 62% BTC and 29% FCT and this a pretty big number in dollar amounts. There are many other more sexy coins out there, but this will be a top 10-5 coin in 2019-2020 and beyond. Stick to quality over hype.

    From the resident Factom expert, Dchapman:

    "You see, those of us who have taken the time to research Factom and invest in it understand that it has more going for it than just about any other cryptocurrency. For example, FCT has:

    20+ NDAs from Fortune 100 and 1000 companies:

    Is entering Phase IV (the last phase) of its' IoT program with the US Department of Homeland Security which includes field trials:
    https://www.fpds.gov/ezsearch/search.do?indexName=awardfull&templateName=1.5.1&s=FPDS.GOV&q=factom

    Factom has revenue producing clients unlike the vast majority of projects out there:

    Is implementing a project in South Africa with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation:

    Is funded, in part, by billionaire VCs: https://cointelegraph.com/news/factoms-latest-investment-sends-draper-startup-8mln-higher
    Tim Draper: "I believe that the Factom team has the opportunity and the potential to build a company greater than Oracle and Palantir and IBM combined.”

    Has a large, top notch team: https://www.factom.com/about/team

    And the list goes on, and on and on.

    However, the market cap, for some, unfathomable reason to us, does not reflect that when compared to many of the cryptocurrencies higher in market cap. At time, our Slack turns into a mental health support group. Many of us are now raging alcoholics. I myself cry myself to sleep each night."

    So bburritos is saying get the sw cards, buy LTC, transfer to bittrex, sell ltc for btc, and buy FCT. Fly around USA for a couple of years then Fly around the world for the rest of your life. Guys, we’re basically Marlins Man at this point.

    Market Potential

    Factom provides a very specific utility to enterprise clients, who need to secure massive amounts of data and documents. Paper records, which are still in use in many major industries today, are costly to maintain, store, organize, and audit. Digital data is a better alternative in many ways, but current structures leave this data vulnerable to hacks and digital tampering. Factom provides a solution that is not only more secure and less costly, but also allows for greater transparency and regulatory compliance.

    These solutions are especially apparent for data that’s required by more than one organization; mortgage documents, supply chain verification, medical records, and other documents that are regularly audited are all examples. Because these documents frequently change hands among different organizations, each must independently audit the documents to ensure that they haven’t been altered or fabricated. That creates significant operational costs that are avoidable when using Factom.

    Conclusion

    We believe that Factom will become the de-facto second-layer protocol for securing data onto blockchains. While current development has focused on securing data to the Bitcoin chain, we are confident that Factom will be used not only to secure data onto many chains, but also to secure data from entire blockchains onto one another. This cross-anchoring will help ensure the security of the entire network of blockchains that will exist in the future.

    While large industry players have been reluctant to adopt blockchain technology, often because of regulatory concerns, we believe that Factom’s dual token system will allow for easy and compliant integration of this technology. This will pave the way for enterprises to take advantage of Factom’s lower costs, which will further drive adoption.

    Factom has a secure, well-designed protocol that offers cost savings and compliance advantages to industries that need it most. From an investment standpoint, the token mechanics are extremely compelling— increased usage of the Factom platform will result in higher prices for Factoids. For these reasons, we are currently bullish on Factoids.

    For some reason I can't bring myself to pull the trigger on alt coins. I'm up 350% with the coin base coins. The transferring to another site and then storing on a hardware wallet makes me pause. I did get a nano ledger so maybe I'll start getting into it. Also, aren't there tax implications for selling ltc for a alt coin?

    I tried plugging in a 6-month projected value of my portfolio last night

    I've put in 873
    conservative estimate is 5865
    aggressive estimate is about 9000
    Either of these sound realistic?

    All I did was take the past 6 months performance and figure if during the next 6 month's those coins do 25% of that (conservative) or 50% of that (aggressive)

    or it could all tank and my 873 could be worth a subway sandwich.

    I purchased PRL from ED yesterday. Supposedly a mix between eth and iota. Solid white paper low market cap. Long term hold on this one. Ether Delta trading is like punching yourself in the dick for 2 straight hours though

    Ha not me. It is my buddy though, who is the reason I’m in crypto in the first place. And he has significantly more money in this than I do. I also value his investment opinion more than anyone I know so :idk:

    It’s just info...do with it as you wish.

    FWIW, my friend who works at a hedge fund and was in on ethereum when it was under a dollar told me to buy FCT back in June. I’m pretty sure the guy has made millions on cryptos. Wish I had bought it back then.

    It seems like Factom will be used with Adidas products and for the World Cup. (ATTACHED FILES) They're being utilized by SMARTRAC Smart Cosmos. The same company smart trac will also be using Factom in passports, birth certificates, etc. SMARTRAC is the leading manufacturer and producer of RFID chips

    Well Tim Draper said it best:

    Up until now, Factom has spent all their time and energy marketing to banks, insurance companies, mortgage companies, etc. This is the reason for their low market cap, low volume, and general lack of awareness about them. That will be changing in 2018, where they'll be marketing more towards the crypto market.

    It's on Poloniex as well. There will be more coming soon. It will also be coming to the Ledger Nano S soon. As I said, they've been focused on building partnerships and haven't worried about the crypto markets. They have no hype. That will all change soon.

    This isn't your typical crypto currency. Have to assume Overstock will be using Factom in all their blockchain projects going forward.

    Medici Ventures, the blockchain-focused subsidiary of retail technology company Overstock.com, announces its participation in the Series A funding for Factom, Inc., a blockchain-as-a-service technology company based in Austin, TX focusing on mortgage compliance solutions.

    Medici Ventures received 2.5% of Factom’s common stock in return for a $750,000 investment. Steven Hopkins, Medici Ventures’ chief operating officer and general counsel, will join Factom’s board of directors.

    Medici Ventures joins the Factom Series A round of funding, which was led by noted venture capitalist and blockchain enthusiast Tim Draper.
