Damn, all my holdings in NAV, LTC, XRP......are in the red, mainly because I started buying altcoins late in the game.
Although my gains in BTC, XMR and ETH are more than sufficient to cover these losses, it still sucks to see your holdings lose money.



I can only hope that they will eventually go up again later......

Yeah, I was stupid/greedy/naive/all of the above.
I can only blame myself for this.

Actually I still have faith in XMR, I think there is a definite niche and real-life usage for it, just like ETH.
Anyway, like you said earlier, since I bought in low, I still have a lot of cushion for this coin.
Worst case scenario, I will just keep holding it for the time being.

I'm not a guru, so I can only speak from personal experience.

The transaction fee is different according to the service, yes, and that is usually decided by the business, e.g. Poloniex, Luno, XBit Asia all have their own preset transaction fees, based on their decision on which fee will encourage a faster confirmation time.
I have not used Blockchain to send any BTC before, but in my experience, the transaction fee is not affected by the transaction amount.
For example, I transferred more than 6 BTC at one time (in one transaction) for around 0.0004 BTC transaction fee.

The volatility on ETH seems to have leveled off somewhat over the last few days, mainly trading sideways now.
Hopefully once BTC stabilises, ETH will start inching up again.


Seriously considering bailing out on XRP and just cut my losses. (Still battling with my pride on this one)
Then put the balance into LBC (no reason......just a gut feeling).
If you don't mind me asking......what's the percentage of BTC and ETH that you are holding?

Sigh......I guess my only solution is to close my eyes and keep calm, and wait until the storm is over.
Too much red......making me depressed.
I should just console myself that I do not have too much in any coin to really give me any heart attacks......only 0.2 - 0.5 BTC worth here and there in the few altcoins that I hold.
Main holding still in ETH, BTC and XMR.

What's with the sudden pump of all the V-coins today???

Is this "locking up" of coins good for ETH in general?
I understand that it will create value, but it would also remove liquidity from the market, no?
Or am I just missing the point?

Damn, now I'm in a dilemma.
Buy ETH or buy BTC next???

My guts are telling me not to trust my guts on this one......
Maybe I'll just split it and buy both.

Absolutely hate it when all these dunno-what-coins suddenly jump 100% while mine are quietly sliding down to the abyss.

It's mind-boggling to think that there are so many billions of tokens for that one coin.
I kinda think I'm just going to cut my losses and get out of Ripple.
I don't have a good feeling about this coin.

Cool it down, mates.
Nobody is bullying anyone here.

@COLORWOLVES, we're all here to make friends, and newcomers are always more than welcome. We try to help each other out, and discussions are very much encouraged of course.
What @CoupeFanatic meant was that it would be much more helpful if everyone could post something engaging, for the benefit of others, such as why you buy or avoid any certain coin (i.e. you've done some sort of analysis, or have a unique perspective, or read a fascinating whitepaper, etc.).
For example, if I say to someone "Hey, buy XMR!" and then I tell him "I don't have to tell you why, because it's confidential" isn't really going to help the person understand XMR more, and could even come across as arrogant or condescending (which I am sure is not the case in your post earlier).

There are many trolls and spammers in the other threads on Lowyat.net forum (which thankfully we do not have in this thread) so we are all rather stringent on that (myself included).

Sorry for my ignorance...but please enlighten me......who's the Captminer?

Technically speaking, no amount is safe to be put in exchanges......but unfortunately, there is no other way to be able to trade quickly and efficiently, so you have to strike a balance between convenience and security.
Normally, I suggest the Rule of 5.
If your holding in cryptocurrency is 5 times the price of a hardware wallet or more, then it is worthwhile to buy a hardware wallet.
Meaning, anything above approximately RM1,500 worth of cryptocurrency, it is better to get a hardware wallet.

My goodness, you're right, it seems like every man and his mother are going for segwit activation these days.

Ah crap......! I'm all out of bullets...!

As you said earlier, might be worth it to accumulate a bit just for holding long term.
Seems you made the right choice earlier!

Good night, mate.
I'll be dozing off myself shortly.
Too exhausted these few weeks, looking at crypto-news and Poloniex till 2am everyday.

Good one......but the last sentence reveals itself!

Yeah me too.
I'm thinking to cash in half my profits around USD 14 level, if the bull run holds out.

But consider it this way......if the bull run goes on and it slowly makes its way to USD 1500, then USD 1230 now would seem really cheap.

I have a bunch of LTC from below USD 10, but I don't think this coin will actually go to the moon.
I'll be ecstatic if it does, of course......but right now, I think it's potential is less than USD 20.
Hope I'm wrong.

Yes, definitely.
All cryptocurrency intended for long term investment must be kept in hardware wallets, end of story.
Leave only what you need to trade in the near future on the exchanges.

That said, though, I think most of the smaller altcoins are not supported by any hardware wallets.
Limited options there.

What's with the sudden green candle on ETH?
Quite a pleasant surprise this morning.

Do you know exactly which altcoins are supported by Ledger Nano S?
I tried looking for a complete list of supported coins, but not even their official website seems to show this.

Ah......stupid me......
But then again, how did you get this info?
When I checked the Ledger official site, it just says "bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum and altcoins" and didn't actually give a full list of those "altcoins".
If this is true, though, then it means you have more than 20 types of coins sitting on the Poloniex exchange...... scary.
I don't have that many of course, but still I feel quite insecure already.

"Only" 100 LTC......that's nearly 1 BTC worth already, i.e. more than RM 5400.
And that's only ONE of your 30 types of coins......
You are rich man......
