Hey everyone.
Not sure if there is something on here about the Crypto Currencies or not?
Obviously if you are investing at all you have been watching BitCoin taking a huge run. Currently sitting at about 56K a coin.
BitCoin got a bit expensive for my liking so i looked for a trust on it and found one that is going up but it's only a portion of an actual coin and they take their money off the top. The return has been about 40% over the last 3 months which isn't bad at all but it's not at the rate of the coin itself. They also charge me to buy every time and cashing out as well.

I decided to buy Ethereum. this is a different animal than Bitcoin. Where Bit is like a commodity like Gold. Ether is more like a platform that supports the vehicles that mine the gold Or the energy they mine it with.

What turned me on about Ether was more the price beings i could actually afford to buy a whole coin and enjoy the benefits of it growing then continue to buy more on a monthly basis as it grows.

It seems after a decade of these being around they are not going to just completely fail and are probably the wave investors should be at least putting a percentage of their investments into?

Do any of you have any experience here good or bad? What percentage of investments are you looking at? I am only thinking of staying in the 5-10% area at this point but if this continues to grow would probably go higher.

How about transferring back to actual CASH. I'm using Coin Base so that seems like the most stable.

Just starting a conversation on this.

Thanks

They should combine Bitcoin and Doge into DogBite!

Update-
I bought one Ethereum coin at about $2040 and at the end of one day i have lost $100. At this rate i should be done with crypto currencies within a week or two.
 
Is it worth buying an ether coin? I guess technically I don't have to buy one full coin. I own fractions in Bitcoin and ADA which have paid off significantly in just a couple weeks time.

I just felt that because I'm not really worth enough to invest big i would go cheap and hope it grows. The percentage on a coin might work out just as well though?
I ended up buying one single coin so i can track it pretty easy. I'll see where it is in a year. My other investments get me 20-30% a year. If this goes to $2400 (20%) by next Feb at least I've done that well.

Buy a round number worth. For example, $100. Easy to track the +/-. Only buy on dips.

Dollar cost average it over time. (For example buy $100 every week).


Just got some at $1933. It is down 2% today. It's still falling a bit
 
There's an exchange that pays you interest in your crypto. I'll find out.

I need to setup an account on Gemini.

I think crypto currencies, especially Bitcoin, are ready for a major correction.
 
I know.
I looked today and went Wow? Absolute worst time to make that decision i guess.
No sweat. I'll sit on it and see where it ends up?

Who knows, it will probably recover eventually. Gotta roll with the ups and downs.
 
I remember like 7-8 years ago arguing with my older brother that Bitcoin made no sense. He thought it would become a universal currency used around the world. I was adamant that he was wrong because it was inherently inflationary and was inflated due to speculation and the diehard fanatical believers.

Well I guess I was kind of right, but man I hadn’t considered it as an investment at the time. Boy do I feel stupid now at being so right about it being a crappy form of currency.
 
Bitcoin cash down 16% today, so I got some more. May get more ETH right now if it goes back down to 1600 (hit it briefly when all the cryptos crashed for a sec).

EDIT: Got more at $1707.

It hit 1600 and bitcoin hit 50k
 
I'll buy more ETH if it drops more. Bring down my average cost per coin. It hit about 1400 and is back above 1500. I'll get more if it's in the mid 1300s.

Not panicking.
