Tpoppa Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I haven't touched Bitcoin, but there are new Blockchain ETFs that started last week...BLCN & BLOK. Seems like they COULD have a big upside IF that tech gets more widely accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 @SWing'R is the man I'd ask. He's been dabbling for little bit. Maybe this tag will summons him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have received your summons lol. I have a little bit invested in Bitcoin, around $500 current value, and a little less in XRP/Ripple, around $134 current value. I use two different exchanges/services, Coinbase and Binance... http://davidrosso.com/coinbase/ http://davidrosso.com/binance/ My only advice is don't invest more than you are willing to lose, treat it like gambling or the lottery. I've made money and lost money with it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I'm probably not going to invest in any of the actual currency. I've watched Bitcoin for awhile and just never felt confident at any entry point. Block chain tech is on the other hand has me interested. The ETFs I mentioned just started last week. They have potential to grow a lot over the next few years... probably not nearly as much as Bitcoin has but you never know. I just threw some dollars at BLCN. I plan to leave it for a few years and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I have around $50 in bitcoin as proceeds from mining. Not sure I would invest actual cash into it, I've never won the lottery and suck at the casino so I have no plans to risk my own money for speculative buying in crypto currency.

Lol, well, you know what they say about the lottery... you can't win if you don't play I want to buy some more Ripple/XRP since its affordable, maybe sit on 500 or so coin, I currently have 100, and just let it ride for a few years and hope for something to happen with it like Bitcoin did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUYZFR1 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I’ve got some alt coins. Substratum, Icon, and a few others. Substratum is a local company with offices in Delaware. I think it has some serious potential but time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See my comment about the lottery Gamble. Yes. Potential for profits. Yes. Potential for loss. Yes. All the buying, selling, trading I'm doing right now is with profits I've already made Once I'm ready to hold on to what I have, I plan on keeping it in cold storage offline, away from hackers reach.

Tpoppa Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I think crypto currency is here to stay. It will certainly change and evolve as it finds it role. But i don't think it's going to go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are hung up on the false promis your little $500 will turn into millions. Its not gonna happen. Governments and banks are all over it already. Russia's gov is building the largest mining center in existence as we speak. Its all going to be regulated soon. Aka taxed Edited January 29, 2018 by serpentracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aka taxed The more you post it’s clear you have no idea how blockchain works but keep it up it’s good entertainment. i’m really not concerned about paying taxes either. If you had a clue you would already know that once you turn crypto back into fiat it can be linked back to you. Coinbase is already reporting on people that have pulled more than 20k back into fiat. Regulation goes against the whole reason it was developed and why it’s coded so that it can be trusted without regulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something they probably don't have to do, we all know and accept that there is risk involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
