    Breaking all time highs like it’s no big deal

    Really going to catch fire if we hear of any additional delays to ETH 2.0. People are going to be moving their BTC profits somewhere

    I fucking hate SOL. There were so many buying opportunities that I passed on to buy other stupid shit, and it just punishes me everyday for it.

    Agreed. Love the Oracle use case long term. It's just not sexy or prone to pump and dump, IMO, so it seems boring. I'll take boring.

    You could’ve bought in like less that a week ago and be up 30%, with multiple small dips along the way

    What exactly were you waiting for?

    I read that if you bought $1 in dec 2020 it’s worth something like 35-40m right now, but I’m not doing the math on that. I know the joke $25 I bought a couple months ago is now like $140 tho, so I am also rich

    $1 x 45,000,000% is $450,000. Decent return.

    It’s a running joke, as the max supply is one quadrillion

    It can be sold whenever

    I thought I read it was designed to not hit a dollar actually. But you can sell whenever. It’s just a lottery ticket to look at every few months at this point

    Money, mostly :idk:. Crypto is last in the pecking order for me after retirement, stocks, kids college funds, etc. I’m really only depositing after bonuses, and just shuffling around what’s in there. Decided a few months back to go on autopilot for a bit and just hold ETH and BTC.

    Idk what the fuck I’m doing tbh, I just get really bad fomo and try not to act on it. Happy with my portfolio performance so far (especially compared to my securities) but definitely get jealous of alt rockets.

    Probably a crypto maxi here, but I’ve viewed it as a primary method to further diversify for a while now.

    Whether it’s 5, 25, >50 percent of your holdings is anybody’s choice, but even beyond the technology the sheer ROI has to earn it’s way into any portfolio.

    That's why I bought it below $150. I had missed it at $30, 60, then $114 I almost bought 2k worth but didn't. I saw it drop below $150 and bought $1500 worth. I think I got it at $146

    Looks like a number of reasons

    -Good technicals from a chart/resistance levels perspective
    -Bitwise has added them for funding
    -Tagging along with Ethereum’s success
    -Widely used for the gaming/nft markets

    Never going to be the greatest in terms of speed and security, but always been a solid network that had been undervalued for a long time now

    Meme coins and hype coins like ADA have been killing it over the last year. I was talking to a friend who just got a new car and Fender Final Fantasy XIV guitar and asked him where he got all the money from (he doesn't make much). "I started with $100 in GameStop, used leverage, and made a couple grand. Then I bought some DOGE and AMC calls at the end of May. I bought a billion Shiba coins around 650." This world doesn't make sense, but it's fine with me if a regular joe can make however much money he's made in the last 2 years doing something he knew nothing about. It's also cool to see he found something he's passionate about.

    As the old saying goes, "only gamble what you can afford to lose".

    For the record, I do not consider ADA a meme coin. It has truly longterm sustainability, especially with smart contracts officially a "Go" now.

    I have invested a little into Vet, SafeMoon, Shiba, Dog and Coti. All have done pretty well this year thus far.

    I still try to dollar cost average in the big 3, BTC, ETH and ADA. The others are like a fun night out in Vegas at the blackjack table.

    Gate.io is a great exchange that lets you know about the new shit coins coming. I might need to grab some AKITA and ELON soon, or get really spicy and pick up BABYDOGE.

    Biggest futures closeout in BTC history tomorrow, would be pretty impressive to hold where we’re at right now

    Definitely going to be some whales trying to get us to dip back where we were yesterday

    I literally spent hours trying to find a smart contract project that was actually live. Was hoping for some asymmetric advantage since everyone has written them off, but there was actually nothing.

    Please link me a working DEX or anything

    I was just thinking about This. I'm hoping that's what the few big drops were the last couple days. But who knows. I'm playing the holding game because if I've learned anything with investments, It's that I'm nowhere near as smart as I think I am.

    Yeah almost all key indicators say we are nowhere near the market top, I’m not selling more than small profit-taking until probably 2022

    Which probably means a nuclear crypto winter will start tomorrow

    I feel like a lot of people in crypto had all decided to sell at the new year and the narrative has been slowly shifting into spring and now late spring. I'm hoping that's out of people being honest and being that bullish. My gut tells me it's people saying that so they can unwind all their crypto for a few months before it gets destoryed in April.

    What do you think is causing these big drops on CMC? They're quick blips (down for 30 mins or less), so you can't see any from longer than a couple days ago. I'm not sure if it's just data missing when it went to pull it or if there actually were huge sell orders then it got back up quickly after.

    CMC has issues with bugs from time to time, seems like the data pulls just miss out on some cryptos but will then re-catch later
