    Plus my current day time job is with a life science technology company where I’ll be helping them cost Out how much it takes to take a tech product to market. Next 3 years about to be wild.

    I have a few hundred FCT. I promised myself I wouldn’t sell til Jan 2019. I may break that promise if it passes $40 so I can leave up ~25% and gtfo of crypto

    Selling some of my shitcoins to pay for a vacation. Is the best way to sell from an exchange like binance to sell to BTC then to -> LTC then xfer to Gdax -> coinbase -> account?

    you gotta do what you gotta do... but this would seem to be a bad time to sell out of these unless you are up from your initial amount and just want out.

    Why would you go from BTC to LTC?

    And why from GDAX to Coinbase? Just sell on GDAX and withdraw your USD there.

    US Investigates bitcoin manipulation.

    Due to it being unregulated, there is no doubt in my mind that it is being manipulated. Im sure there are other types of nefarious trades going on too. People try to do that stuff under the nose of US regulators, no doubt they will do it in the wild west of bitcoin.

    There have been very few upticks on its way down from $20,000. So, naturally i come in here when it drops.

    Ill get bullish around $600 / coin

    It would be interesting to get an honest poll of those on TMB who have actually made money trading cryptos. Im guessing its less than 5% of people as almost everyone was bullish when these coins peaked back in December. I realize that will never happen, but would be interesting.

    I personally knew someone doing this (spoofing) in 2014. Without a doubt it's being done today.

    I made about 15% all things considered from September until about 2 weeks ago when I pulled everything out.

    Glad I sold out when I did. Figured when the price didn't break the 10k mark there would be some retracement across the whole market so I pulled it out and paid off my car and the rest of my loan on the ring I just bought my fiancee.

    Should also be able to claim the max on capital losses for the next two years on my taxes.

    I started with 1350, pulled out at $3750

    Got back in with $3k, sold $2000 at $4.8k

    Currently down on my remainder but am letting it ride, no matter what happens with what I have left I’m a crypto winner

    I see FCT is in the single digits now. I haven't checked the value of my accounts in weeks, but I'm sure I could still fill up my gas tank a couple times.

    Damn so everyone came out on top? Made a good amount on ripple but I’m down almost 2k at this point. I didn’t put in anything I couldn’t afford to lose and I still buy occasionally but I am sadly giving rules what he wants. I trimmed my portfolio to ven, fct, and btc and am going to ride it out for now. The people claiming gains definitely know much more than me about crypto so this all makes sense.

    I’ve bounced back and forth on both sides of break even a couple times. I have a magic number where I told myself I’m going to take it out, but haven’t quite hit it. Part of me wants to just forget about it and see where I land in 3 years.

    Really happy I got out when I did around $9500. Hoping for a drop down into the $2500-3500 range where I initially got in last year and I may buy back in at a smaller position.

    Whatever, at least the stock market is killing it and I’m back off (on?) the gambling wagon

    This is good news for the market. Will mean that the bullshit utility tokens in the alt market (some real projects and many scams that were used to raise capital for start-up projects then got hot on speculation but actually serve no purpose to their networks) will have to trade like securities and be better regulated.

    Too many people got burnt speculating on alts whose currency actually did nothing, had no value, and doesn't grant you equity in a project. The only purpose those tokens served was to raise money with an ICO. The only reason people bought them was that they knew with the wild speculation the value would go up. But the token held no intrinsic value. Anyone buying them in the secondary market was playing with fire because as soon as the project's hype cooled down there was a good chance they'd get stuck holding the bag. Hopefully it will curb some of that which should be healthy for the overall market.

    I’m holding and laughing at how low it goes. Maybe in ten years it’ll be worth something but most likely it won’t.

    Nice little bump today. I've been trending more towards the Bitcoin maximalist viewpoint in the past couple months. Still holding some Nano but pretty bearish on most projects. EOS launch has been a total joke.
