    Bitcoin Price Thread

    I should put a disclaimer on my posts "not financial advice", lol. I'm a forever crypto, and even if hitting a certain milestone, only planning to cash out some, and leave most in cryptos. I don't think you have to be "stupid" to believe in defi. It literally takes a little bit of investment...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    This altseason bull market (mostly in DeFi related cryptos) has been pretty amazing and imho gotta take advantage of it while it lasts. Bitcoin is the 2nd largest holding in my crypto portfolio and it's also currently the worst performer according to the 7-day portfolio tracker I use. I...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    Doubled the position, 2 were in the 11,300'sh area, the other 3 at about 11,600. Long term position, bitcoin is part of what i consider "safe" core coin positions in my crypto portfolio, versus the high-risk/high-reward, low marketcap, DeFi crypto coins.

    Ampleforth token $AMPL

    Looks like final update on this thread. I'm liquidating all the AMPL coins as I type this. price action has been downtrend since yesterday. I wish I had some charting skills but I'm just going by reading the tape. I was able to liquidate 21K coins to USDT at about 93 cents, but the rest of the...

    Ampleforth token $AMPL

    Not all $165K profits are at risk, Just the $110K worth of AMPL coins (well right now worth $105K). No, I'm not a millionaire, hoping the crypto portfolio gets me there, it's a 6 coin positions so not all eggs in one basket (as I had been at the beginning of the year). At the start of the year...

    Ampleforth token $AMPL

    Cliff notes: 1 Invested $45K, cashed out ~$100K, give or take, so about $55K profits so far a. Still have 88,596 AMPL coins in the wallet worth $110K (got a dividend of 2.15% today) 2. Used DEXes uniswap and totle, fees are about $500-$1K but above numbers are net, they are...

    Ampleforth token $AMPL

    The thread seems to be getting some view hits so might as well keep this as a running journal, lol, plus the Cryptocurrencies forum is kinda dead, while the cryptoverse seems to be on a nice bull run. AMPL seems to have broken the death spiral, went up from the bottom low 60'sh cents to about...

    Ampleforth token $AMPL

    Full Disclosure since this thread got necro-bumped, I "sold" a little over 30K AMPL coins past 10 minutes and received a little over $20K worth of USDT. There's a time to be greedy and a time to be fearful... The price action on AMPL past 3 days has been relentless selling of any rallies. I'm...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    Started buying bitcoin (big daddy BTC, not some forked coins version) a few days ago. It started as a defensive play to park "DeFi trade profit$" after btc broke $10K, but now I do have to admit this is the first time in 3 years I'm excited to hodl 5 bitcoins (real btc not equivalent) in my...

    Ampleforth token $AMPL

    yes, but it's weird I got a reply on this thread on the day AMPL went down in price 50%. Let's simply recap just to be clear for all others that may be watching this thread. I posted when marketcap of AMPL was $82M and now it's $272M. I was getting positive rebase (dividends) every single day...

    Ampleforth token $AMPL

    I realize no one cares and this will be my last post on this thread, but just providing an update. The rebase (nightly "dividend") tonight was 21.3%, indicating an even stronger demand from last night and the night before as AMPL tokens are trading higher. My position is more than double now...

    Ampleforth token $AMPL

    Full disclosure, I bought AMPL erc-20 tokens a couple of nights ago (about $45K position size). I actually heard about the coin over a week ago, but saw on Coinmarketcap that it's up about 80% past 30 days and thought, meh, I've made over 100% on the 3 DeFi coins I invested in the same time...

    This (lack of) volatility is making me anxious.

    You're welcome. You sound bitter, sold too early? lol I would say goodbye but you'll probably stick around and keep bashing, so I'd say welcome, to cryptocurrencies forum. Use case? come on now, we're here for the profits, bro.

    This (lack of) volatility is making me anxious.

    Thank you for the advice. I'd tell you the same thing with regards to the Fed-manipulated stock markets and bond markets and financial markets but who am I kidding, I love the massive Fed printing, as it inflates everything and creates the greatest bubbles, including my favorite playground...

    This (lack of) volatility is making me anxious.

    The volatility is in DeFi coins. Many coins are up hundreds of percents, some thousands. Bull market in cryptos is happening in DeFi space and most don't know or don't want to touch it as it looks like a mania, a full blown bubble, that's about to crash. However, it has a working business model...

    The value of Monero's privacy

    There's very cheap ways to get the privacy of monero for your bitcoin transactions, and i mentioned on a previous post. Won't provide too much detail to protect the process and there is risk of funds being seized if you mess up so make sure your transactions are low enough for your risk appetite...

    PayPal, Venmo to Roll Out Crypto Buying and Selling: Sources

    Found this interesting Twitter post. It's anecdotal, but kinda makes sense. I think PayPal will do a Robinhood iou bitcoin just to hold people's money. We'll see how it plays out when it comes out.

    The value of Monero's privacy

    We are still very early, bitcoin's marketcap is less than $200B and Gold's MC is over $7T Thank you very much for the kind words and I wish you the best, also.

    The value of Monero's privacy

    I love bitcoin, it has changed my life, from being in debt and no savings to being debt free and holding a crypto portfolio worth over $250K I also love Monero, at one time it was the biggest position on my crypto portfolio, they have funded 2 of the best PhD minds in cryptography research and...

    PayPal, Venmo to Roll Out Crypto Buying and Selling: Sources

    I hear ya. I use bitcoin for many purchases (with Monero as an obfuscation layer), but I'll be first to admit, bitcoin is not a good form of payment. I've always said bitcoin is a digital investment asset, in my opinion, maybe there's a better crypto out there for purchases, or perhaps we...
