Been around 2 years I think and I've been in 11 months.  

You have to buy it through metamask, (your own wallet) cant use coinbase or anything like that yet.  www.hex.com 

From what I understand, alot of the big exchanges wont list it for whatever reason.  but nomics does.

https://nomics.com/

but https://coinmarketcap.com/ will rank it like 201.  not sure why.  maybe you have to pay to be listed or something.

 
NO!!! Shibas is the anti-Elon, we will take the man down!!! Death to Doge, Shibas to the ####### moon baby!!!!!!

I have no idea if this thing ever lifts off past $0.000008 but I freaking own 2 M I L L I O N of them  :excited:


11 million.   :lol:

 
Friendly reminder:  These are the times when the sharks accumulate their longer term positions.  If you liked SOL at $160, you should like it even better at $135.

 
Funny, I moved about 1/3rd of my SOL into ADA this morning.
I've been filling my L1 sacks the last few days.  SOL, DOT, ONE, EGLD, ATOM, XTZ, ALGO, and AVAX.

ETA - I already have as much ADA and ETH as I want, so chilling on those.

I've done nothing with the index fund since my last posts here. I'm happy with the assets I'm holding and happy with their allocation. I didn't even do things I said I was doing, like sell omi for erg. I just can't stop learning about and dabbling in low budget nfts.

Deeeep down the rabbit holes with VeVe... added 6 more nfts in the past few days. Deeep down the rabbit hole with EpicHero - hit the drops on the 16th, 17th, 18th. Still confused a bit in the ecosystem, but there's alot of energy behind it. Hoping it is the next Axie. Closely following the Pancake nft market launch... gonna be serious money made there very fast.

Best way to get me hodling is this obsession with nfts. I kinda don't care about cryptos atm. :)

Oh, I'm also set up for pretty nice passive income with stakes and a lps and farms and vaults. That was another project that has me hodling.

They are far more fun.  Right now I've got a plan in place to get my crypto portfolio where I want it with the goal to be 75% invested if BTC falls to 38K and have 25% dry powder if we go full bear again.  Once that's done I'll focus more on NFTs.  I kinda shot my wad on those a couple weeks ago and now it's sit back and wait.  I'm hoping I find my way onto the Alex Becker project.  The mint cost is free.  You just need to solve all the riddles of the last couple weeks to find out where to enter.

I followed Alex a couple days ago. Not digging in yet because his approach seems risky when I can buy $7-300 nfts that will likely be worth 10-50k next year. One super rare I lucked into has gone from $7 to 8k in a three days. How's that for an roi? $7 for these licensed collectible comic books that drop and sell out in 30 seconds... crazy.

Pro-tip: for fast selling drops, set the clock on your device back an hour and get the buy button as soon as anyone and faster than almost everyone. Use a vpn location as close to project hq as possible. I thought bots were for uber-nerd-techie-hackers. Nope. There's an app for that. dyor.

Also, no gas fees are coming to Open Sea soon. When that happens VeVe will let us use open market places. We often see something like, this is not advice, i am not a financial adivisor. Well, I'm not, but this IS advice. Load up on cheap licensed collectible nfts and wait for the no gas Open Sea market before x-mas.

So once you buy one and it soars, then do you sell it?

They all go up in VeVe so far. They don't all soar. Rare ones do, and these are blind drops mostly. So getting a rare one is lucky. They post percentages. The one I got was 1.3% of the drop. I sold my first two to see how it worked. I'm holding everything else and seeing what happens next year.

Have only had time to skim the thread the last week or so, but did you post how to acquire the comic ones? I was thinking you had, but then went back and couldn't find it.

I think I did in the proper thread. The easiest way to do it is first downloading the app. Phones only. Pay attention to the drop notifications. You'll get a week to several days notice. They happen at 8am pst. Youtuber Staying Alpha will live stream the drop and his purchase(s). There's a delay so be prepared to hit buy before him. I just wake up, hang out on that youtube channel... and attack attack attack the buy button. I don't think the vpn and clock trick work every time, but my luck got better when I did that. Pretty soon I'll let a bot be my agent for most nft drops. I think. It works seamlessly on Open See but needs tweaking for VeVe.

What would you fellas say is the simplest and most secure way to invest a decent amount of money in the crypto world? Have about 30K from selling a vehicle I’d like to invest. I currently have Coinbase but was wondering if there was something better out there. I’d like to be able to invest the money immediately upon depositing if possible. Any recommendations?

Simplest I would say stick with coinbase.

If you are willing to put in some work, then you will be open to some crypto to get in early, before they get to coinbase and potential homeruns.

But for ADA, SOL, etc, I dont see why you cant just keep using coinbase since ease of use is there.

I've never used Coinbase, but I trust KGB's experience there.  I personally use Binance.US and Kraken for the majority of my exchange purchases.

I've never used those.  coinbase is super easy.  Ive heard of both of those and they are solid as far as I know too.  

Might be interesting to compare the rates and see which one is the best.  coinbase has pretty big fees I think.  and I dont even know if they are flat or a %.

I think Binance has the lowest fees and tightest spreads of the top exchanges.  Kraken's fees aren't quite as low, but I really like their easy staking process even though there's only about 10 tokens they offer it on.  

 
SO....

ETH has huge fees.  $60 to $150 per transaction alot of times.   There is a competitor coming out called https://pulsechain.com/ and I think the fees are going to be pennies.  So it may have a chance to bloom.

It's from the same guy who invented HEX (for better or worse)

I think there may be a chance for a home run or grand slam by getting in early.  Personally I sacrificed/ purchased pre sale, a good amount.  But I think that was VERY risky.

I think there's a lot less risk getting in early, after it actually launches.

I would assume HEX will be the first available on the network, therefore you would use HEX to buy pulsechain (I think).  

Usually I lock up my HEX to make extra interest by staking it.  I have a few stakes coming up and my plan is to keep it liquid this time, therefore being able to move it with no penalty. (into pulse chain possibly)

TLDR - If you want into pulse, get some HEX and dont stake it.

Sorry still kind of new to this.  So what exactly would you be "buying" for pulse?  Will it have its own coin?

Did you get your sacrifice drops yet?  
PULSE - 

I may be wrong... but I think how it works is....

I put in $26K  X 1.75 multiplier for getting in early.  = 45,500.  And I think I get 10000 shares for each one.  

= 455,000,000 airdrop.

BUT.  each one is worth $0.   until someone starts buying.  Im thinking it starts with 3 or 4 zeros in front of the 1.

How can it be a competator of ETH when its first two goals are: 

Increasing ETH value 

Enrich ETH users

Its something to make the ETH blockchain more efficient, not compete against it. Or maybe I dont know what the hell I'm talking about.

Im no expert.  How I understand it is....

Right now, if you want to do an exchange, like switch from ADA to BTC, you use the etherium network to do it and pay fees.  Gas fees is what they are called.

Pulse will be its own network and the gas fees will be lower.

Thats how I understand it, but if anyone wants to add/correct me im open to it.

 
Full Disclosure—Long term—i’m Bullish on crypto and have some exposure to it.  I also have exposure to the precious metals—but the majority of my exposure to precious metals were acquired at much lower prices than they are now. 

With the disclosures aside—China basically said crypto and crypto transactions are illegal today—and most cryptos have dropped 7-10%.  I have to say—-I feel like the drop could arguably be too mild for what just happened. The second largest economy on the planet just dropped an asset class—and the class only dropped 7-10%?  Makes me feel like the precious metals are grossly undervalued right now.   I think people that might be over invested in crypto might want to consider adding some precious metals as a diversification tool.   The ambiguous nature of cryptos future regulatory outlook might make more of the market look to more established stores of wealth—like gold and silver.

Finally built up the balls to try my hand and swing trading.  REN is my biggest position...sold half of it last night at 1.03, just a hair above my buy in price...It should take off now and never look back.  It looks completely unfazed by this overnight dip.   

Also, I'm in for 15mil Shib's now.  Its so cheap I'm thinking when the next leg up happens people will eat it up.  

 
Should I just get out of Bitcoin and take the relative small loss or wait it out and hope my loss doesn't get much worse?  I'm getting pretty tired of having this investment, but nobody likes selling for a loss.

what's the recommended way(s) to get into the precious metals markets?

I personally prefer owning the hard assets (not mining stocks).   I recommend buying credit suisse bars that are 99.99% pure that are priced at the least percentage over spot value.   Coins are beautiful and all—but they tend to go for a higher percentage over spot value—and if you ever went to sell precious metals—you basically get paid spot value—so I don’t see a real reason to pay a higher premium for coins.  You can buy precious metals at places like Kitco, Monex..and other investment houses. Myself personally—I get therm through my contacts in the jewelry industry—but I totally understand that my method of acquisition is not an avenue that is open to most.

According to reddit and you tube peeps. they all say this is like the 100th time they have banned it and just another day.

I hope so!

precious metals have a pretty bad return over the last 10 years.  Why not just go with the S&P 500 over them?

There is no innovation in metals.  They are 100% a hedge against an apocalyptic scenario.  At least with bitcoin/ETH/other legit crypto projects there is the innovation upside.

Metals are somewhat safe and i don't think it's a bad play.  Just a very safe play without much reward unless our entire economy collapses.  And let's be honest, in that scenario we're all f'ed.
