Damn, what's happening to BTS (Bitshares)? Sold off about 5% of my holdings for a 3700+% gain.

Only managed to get this which is 9 days old : https://steemit.com/bitshares/@steempower/b...k-30th-may-2017

Wish I knew what's going on. A P&D or due to good news??!!??

I previously posted that I didn't like the sound of Digibytes news, especially on minecraft where DGB is only available on their own server running DGB-minecraft. It doesn't affect other normal players on real minecraft servers. Was thinking it was probably a pump and dump and I sold off a bit but now I wished I had sold off more.

Might pick up some if it drops substantially.

It was probably a pump and dump. How much dumping nobody knows.

I could only find this: http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/p...capId=309328609

Is that the one?

I see. I guess you can't buy that "token" right?

Ripple is a good coin. Most of the time, good coins will rebound.

In ripple's case, there are no recent news available, making people sell off the coin.

I'm still hoping for it to go higher with news.

Anyway, please have your own strategy when to cut loss.

I see. I don't really know the coin either. Bought it mid-march as I ran out of ideas on what coins to buy.

Never thought I'd see the day. ETH just blasted through the USD 300 roadblock.

Congrats to all ETH hodlers!

Good night crazy cryptoland.

Good morning guys!!!

Market cap is at 110B due to ETH. Surprisingly, ZEC seems to follow ETH's price.

A few discounted coins today but I'm not sure whether to nibble some as this is a new scenario for me. It seems to me that it is not bitcoin that's causing the red sea this time but ETH and ZEC! ETH is not paired to altcoins so I guess money is flowing from altcoins to ETH.......

If bitcoin shoots up after this, it will be a double red-sea combo for other altcoins. I think I'll stay at the sides for now and see what happens.

Thanks. You are most welcomed to contribute. Want to reserve a post?

Gosh, so many ICOs. I think I will channel a bit to ICOs too, like I did altcoins.

Hmmm... should I buy bitcoins or channel my profits to ICOs.......

Not too sure. If I were to look at the market cap, it would be new money coming in and buying up major coins. The major ones are now not solely bitcoin but also ETH.

ETH is considered the next world wide web 3.0. It has progressed leaps and bounds and it's potential for great things is undeniable. There are many applications/token build on ETH. If you want specifics, you should ask WooTz, he's the expert in ETH WooTz.

There's bound to be speculation as ETH is still in it's infancy and there's still a lot of milestones left to achieved. Well, maybe not an infant but maybe a toddler. Once it becomes successful, it will be a bit too late to jump in, for me anyway. People are still jumping into bitcoin which is USD 2.8k!!??!!

In terms of valuation, nobody knows how high it can go. If bitcoin was the benchmark, ETH's price should be higher. However, I have stopped buying ETH at USD 90 and just enjoying the ride. Most of the time I would buy in when a coin rises but to buy in ETH requires too much money. Meaning to say I have enough ETH and is concentrating on other altcoins.

Hardware wallet is the best. Trezor or ledger nano S.

Good catch! I would have gone deep sea fishing this morning if not for the unusual red sea due to ETH. Didn't know what to expect so I just stayed at the side.

I guess a lot of us don't do mining.

A forumer actually suggested a separate thread for mining.......

What do you guys think, should there be a thread for mining? If so, I don't think it should be in finance section....

Somebody with expertise can do that (start the mining thread). I have no idea at all!

I'm interested but it is difficult for me to start mining as it's not easy to get the parts. Of course can order but I prefer to be able to go to a local shop and buy straight away.

Even trying to get the recommended ASROCK H81 pro BTC board is hard.

Yeah, agreed. I better tell goldfries because I did ask him whether he wants to add-in the mining part in the new thread.

It's was not intended to be a pure trading thread only. Just that somebody suggested separating the threads which I think is a good idea.

Whatever it is, separate or not is fine with me.

Shucks, missed deep-fried stratis.... look at it shoot.....

I'm not comfortable with cloud mining. I prefer to mine myself

Yeah, sounds like a good idea.

Nice nice.

WooTz, from ETH trend, we might see it at 400 next week.....

Any recent news for such volume? It crashed through USD 300 midnight last night. Now already USD 344. Incredible!

Anyway, I'm just enjoying the ride. Not buying anymore. My aim still stands. One ETH at USD 1000!!

I see..... ok then, just enjoying the ride....

Interesting. It's quite relevant actually. I did post something in the guide on whether cryptocurrencies are in a bubble ready to burst, similar to whether cryptocurrencies are a Ponzi scheme ready to burst! The reason I'm posting that is to bring across the message that cryptocurrencies are not guaranteed tickets to riches, that one still have to be careful and cautious when investing in cryptos. One can get lost in the euphoric environment of huge gains and ridiculous profits.

Hackers have many ways to hack a supposedly secure website. If they can find a weakness, they can even bypass all those security measures that you mentioned. Of course, I'm not a hacker but that's how I understand it.

Finally, Dash says it doesn't want to be left behind.

Morning guys!

Looks like it's really a double whammy. ETH surge followed by BTC.

Half my coins are green while the other half is red.

Picked up VRT yesterday and NOTE this morning because I AM SO FOMOed but please don't follow me, I have 40+ coins at the moment (Polo and Bittrex). I think there's only about 20+ coins on Polo that is not in my ETF collection

Did you find any coins? I can't find anymore coins that have good news or progress. Picked up a bit of NOTE as I noticed the recent pump and now at a discount. Did some search and saw they had some progress. Really out of idea what to do.

That's the problem. Nobody can tell you as there's no law regarding this. Somebody did mention that there IS a tax of capital gain although I can't remember the term he used. I always thought capital gain is not taxable too.

Oh? Ok, will do some research. Which particular Biostar is suitable?

I have a 1070 but it is for gaming and the rig is not 24/7.

Mind telling us which coin can generate $6 a day using 1070? ZCASH? If true, I will straight away build a rig to earn that money!

Oh wait. Is it USD or MYR?
