But seriously, who just gives a friend half a million? Even young athletes with a hang on posse tend to just let them live with them and pay for all their shit. They don't give them a fortune. Especially those who are already rich as fuck themselves.


Edit: oh, you sold the coins to him? Then what's the issue? They're not your coins. You cashed out.

I welcome real friends. The ones I had dissappeared real quick circa 2016.

Just Fyi before everyone piles in my DM's again, I cashed out 90% of my BTC long ago and bought a bunch of real estate.
Good shit, most people don't cash out into hard assets. Make sure it's working for you and isn't dead equity. I know someone who specializes in that if you need help ,but sounds like you are on top of it.

Man, they really don´t wanna sell flash for 890 sats. Been stuck there for a while now, only got 5% of my buy order fullfilled thus far.

Edit:

I have been looking more into XLM recently and I really like it. It fixes all of the shady issues I had with Ripple - Bartek Nowotarski, Boris Reznikov and David Mazières are involved which makes me think Ripple was their 'experiment' and XLM is their more refined product.

God, if I had like 150-200k in the bank, I'd swoop in on ADC right now with about 1 BTC of purchases, then put some staggered sell orders at +10%, +20%, +30%, +40%, and +50%.

Whales have it easy. They can tear down and build up walls in moments like this where there's a wide spread

Yeah, that was me, i didn´t want to wait and miss out so i just bought all the sell orders from 270-275 sats lol
So, did you read my post and go "Hey, that's a good idea!" or something? LOL

I didn't just 'give' him it, he bought 30 coins from me to prove a point and lost half of it within a day. Sorry, my OP should have been more clear.
Okay, that makes more sense lol

was he not using the internet or consulting you for advice?

That's kind of impressive in a way. It feels like it has been practically impossible to lose money if you have even a hint of a clue about what you're doing. Unless he panic sold that is.

I sent my friend 30 BTC to get him started and he lost half of it on TRX during htat crash. FML.
I will send you topless photos if you give me 2 BTC. I really need to pay off my student loans. Actually, if you live anywhere close, I'm always willing to do your laundry for a year. Actually, I take that back. I hate laundry.

if you gave me that much btc -- looking at what I made percentage wise right now -- I would have made you a multimillionaire. This is even after the korean bloodbath a few days ago. And this is coming from someone who is still relatively new to this.

How the hell... I.... I just dont know.

Yeah thats crazy to manage to lose that. Just put it in a few safe things and watch it grow is what it seems like to me after 7 weeks of being in this. VEN, ENG, OMG, REQ is due any time, XLM like he mentioned is probably good, and don't forget about my latest mooncoin Pandacoin, up 100% since yesterday. Lots of "safe" bets out there. Or at least safer than Tron. Honestly I'd put a fair bit into XRB. It's a gamble but I think it'd be one well worth taking in the long run. I think it's going to take off again when it hits these other exchanges and we already know it's coming to Binance.

Another I like the sound of is Ethos. I havent really looked at the team and how far along they are or anything but I sure do like the idea. If I get more money I'd put some into it (after looking at the team and roadmap and such).

STEEM is finally getting some steam. Anyone also holds this coin?
I don't but I like Steem too so wish I did. Isn't it also pretty instant and low fee? But it's also limitless maybe? I don't know I like the idea and it's use and it would be awesome if it was widespread but I dont know about supply.

He has experience in the stock market so I figured he would do well Lol.

It's so easy to get sucked in to the alt coins I guess

Sorry to hear this. A big mistake investors can make in this space is thinking crypto assets are like shares in a company. Probably everyone here knows this, but just in case, each crypto asset can have wildly different uses, and almost none have any direct relationship to a company's performance. You can't think of them like stocks. I think scarce commodoties are a closer analogy. And it's almost universally a bad idea to invest in crypto that is being blatantly shilled by its own founder on Twitter.

What if a company makes a coin and gives you some when you buy their product? Is anyone doing something like that yet? I mean I dont know how cool that is long term but the first big company to do it would probably see quite a jump and it would also help really push it mainstream I think.

With the liquidity of penny altcoins, it's not necessarily as easy to double your money when you're dealing with big numbers, because the liquidity and volume isn't usually there. Like putting a million dollars into something like ADC is going to be hard to cash out without some major slippage. You kind of need to focus on the bigger coins when you get into big numbers, out of necessity.

Yikes, so this really happens eh? I can't even imagine. Sorry about your friend.

If this stuff can keep going we're all going to get there. Big if...but if, then we will.

When I first started amd BTC was still like 2900 I was like "Im going to get to 21 BTC so I can be one of the few that owns that many." But shit... these days now that it went as high as 19k,,,, I've given that up, lol. It will outrace me trying to catch it.

Yep, good luck cashing out 2 million in Flash when you x4 your money with 250k of daily volume.

There are some reward points type ICOs out there right now. Can't recall name.

ADC and POSW hopping today. POSW only 42m market cap and has low coin supply. And most importantly by far is that it's one Yankee has said he holds =)

FLASH down at 872 right now as well so probably good time to buy that.

HPB's been saving my profile today. Good stuff. Great call Haz.
It kills me that stuff like this is on weird sites that I really really do not want to sign up with. The 2 exceptions I've made were bitgrail where it ended up working out after scaring the shit out of me with about 30% of my crypto money at the time, and coinsmarkets where I still have like $30 in LTC that I'll maybe someday get back.

It's always weird that pretty much every coin website is exactly the same as every other one.
Just so you're aware there's been a lot of awareness about this currency already over this week and it basically functions as a MLM scheme.
Not saying you can't make money but it solves nothing and is just a get in and get money before others.
But the value that the majority of crypto coins are at now is essentially due to the MLM nature of cryptocurrency today. They are all currently functioning as a MLM scheme

Since I posted in Discord, it's been a while since I shilled something. I took 6 hours last night to do some research. This is a relatively risky medium term 10x (3-6 months), and imo easy 1.5x in short term hype (If you want in and out in 1-3 days) or until KuCoin adds it. Also totally has potential to drop by 50%.
HPB (ENG website), aims to make hardware accelerated blockchain (Aiming at 1,000,000 trx/s) to potentially power large company data issues (Baidu. Alibaba, Tencent [BAT]).
WHITEPAPER: www.gxn.io/files/hpb_white_paper_en.pdf
Why buy: Exchange limited, very very low western awareness, unique, solves real issues, roadmap of Jan 26th US talk, Q1 testnet, Q2 mainnet, NEO founder angel invested and potential big partnerships through UnionPay Smart (subsidiary) / LRC / NEO.
Marketcap: $270 million, 28Mil of 100Mil circulation of coins.
