Ren's old crypto thread || we know how to buy this stuff now (1 Viewer)

I’ve received nothing but insults.
Technically you’re the only one who has actually insulted anyone: 

“I didn’t know Dodds bought Mr Football from an ###hole, now I do” 

Lets take the martyr complex down a notch or two, n00b. 

 
Another thing about these projects, if they have been showing their work and been on the development roadmap the past few years then that's a reliable indicator they are in it for the tech and to change the game somehow.  It isn't necessarily just about cashing in on the ico.  

If there is no real implementation to speak of then it looks like a moneygrab.  Especially when the face of the company is acting like a 14 year old on twitter and they're aping their whitepaper off other tech.  Didn't he do a huge selloff on his tron or something?  

 
I don't think you're shilling.  I just think tron sucks.  It is literal vaporware and the white paper is plagiarized.  They have slapped this asian justin bieber guy's face on it and blown up the hype train with absolutely no product.  That's bad 
I can respect that, there’s a lot of coins with no product, maybe they all fail, maybe some produce the product they’ve promised. Maybe there’s hype because Sun and his team are legit. I’ve read about him and his support team and I’ve thrown very little on this,  and if they are legit, I’ll make money, that’s what this game is about, people do it with stocks all the time. Same rules apply for crypto.

Technically, the Tron comments towards me were an insult starting with “pumper”...Not a nOOb but I’ll take that as your nickname for me. For the record, I thought in  My original comment I typed #####bag, not a biggie though.

I came in here to see some discussion on crypto, that’s all.

Okay, please provide a list of crypto with plagiarized white papers and no product:

1) TRX

2) 

You're up.

All I did was tell a guy to hold Tron a little longer and I’ve received nothing but insults. I didn’t say I bet my house on it, nor did I say buy it, did I?

Im not a pumper, I mentioned that the volume is very high, who cares about some guy at the store buying it, but the reason I added that is because it’s popular and that combined with volume it could pop soon. I never said to the moon, nor will I. if it goes back to .20 in a month at least the guy didn’t take a loss. Regularguy bought it for a reason, why not hold just a little longer, He asked about Tron but none of you made any comments towards how dumb he was to buy it. Yet I get those comments for telling him to hold. I didn’t tell him to hold it for a long either. It’s no wonder a lot of original members no longer post in here. This used to be a good place for info.
Still waiting

 
Sun has been in Forbes 30 for 30...I’ll still take his word over yours
If success in life is your determination for investing in crypto, why are you ignoring Warren Buffet, who is a massive skeptic and warning people they're going to lose a lot of money? Buffet is even more successful. How did you determine which successful person to listen to and which one to ignore when they're both promoting conflicting ideas? 

 
And then having the gall to question our lord and savior Brendan Eich, one of the most prolific architects of the internet itself.  The nerve!  Unbelievable!!!!

We’ve been hearing about digital money that will replace paper. Is there anyone in here that thinks crypto is the beginning of that.

I get it, you guys think Tron is a fraud. I think the horse has been dead on that long enough now, geez.

 
Beijing [Reuters] 

Tron Foundation (TRX) announces SAT - Super Attention Token - ICO. Will be integrated into proprietary browser “Braver” to track browsing habits and reward consumers and creators of digital media. 2.3 trillion tokens will be released on 2-15-18. Details to come. - 34min ago

For those that want to discuss.

As I said before, I’m interested in a company called Power Ledger (POWR) it’s an Australian “green energy” company. As far as I’ve seen they are first in this space. I’ve read about it and don’t totally understand the tech behind it but it seems like it’s a peer to peer token that can be shared within your neighborhood. Not sure what all that means but I know green energy is getting bigger and bigger as more and more people care about what we do to our earth.

anyone else look at this project?

You didn't answer my question in the slightest.

What do you want me to say? That Buffet passed on Amazon?

the guy is a legend, not sure what your looking for but Buffet doesn’t know tech, he admitted he doesn’t know tech,  I would say maybe he doesn’t know crypto either. I can’t say if he’s wrong, but we are going to find out either way soon enough.

let me ask you, in following Buffet will you not invest in any crypto tech at all? 

You’re in this thread so that would be contradictory since Buffet said stay away from crypto.

No offense but, you just started posting in here today, why would I give a #### about what coins you bought/sold/jacked off to unless you gave your reasons?  Anyone can list off a bunch of three letter strings and say "ya I might buy these".  You like tron so you're on shaky ground to begin with.  Give us something to work with here man.
Wait...there are coins to jack off too?

Tell me more

 
I hope you get rich on FROGR, Jake
So I guess nobody in here is interested in making money in crypto, even though this is a crypto thread, that’s obvious. I posted a serious question about POWR but the jokes keep rolling in. I get it that maybe nobody has looked into that particular project, but I don’t see any other coin discussion going on either, just a big circle jerk.

blah blah, Tron sucks...blah blah blah Tron sucks...blah blah...

Looks like theres some real knowledgeable people in this thread.

To be fair we were meaner to the previous 21 Jakes that came in here.

 
Best thread on the board. People making jokes. Being way too serious. Lots of money losses. Lots of hurt feelings. Hoping it continues to get worse.

Agree, the Buffet analogy is a poor one.  Buffet is pretty transparent about his strategy and philosophy and if he's been consistent in anything, its that he does not invest in stuff he doesn't understand.  Buffett only buys businesses essentially or portions of businesses, in the form of stocks.  He has zero knowledge of technology and certainly not crypto.  Buffett is a legend among legends.  BUT, the world is changing and he's way too past his prime to keep up nor does he care to (presumably).

you poor naive, stupid ####ers ...

 
To be fair, I have no idea what any of this is and I still fully expect everyone to lose all their money.
I laughed.

Anyone remember OneSeason?  I discovered OneSeason very early in its VERY short life (a few months). I put $380 in and built my Sportfolio over $40K within a couple weeks.  My gambling and drug addicted cousin URGED me to pull out half when I told him of my 'earnings'. I was doing the math and if things kept moving how they were, I'd be a millionaire within 3 months, no way was I pulling out anything!  I think 3 weeks later the whole thing crashed.  Everyone panic sold and the arbitrage rug was pulled. I think I got $200 back several months after it shutdown.

This crypto market was/is eerily similar for me and when my portfolio grew 300% in just a couple months I thought back to my OneSeason experience.  Luckily on this day I was emotionally balanced and rational and I quickly reminded myself this is NOT at all like OneSeason.  Crypto is entirely different.  While the emotions and results are eerily similar with quick gains, the actual product, or in this case a revolutionary concept basically, is nowhere near the same.  Blockchain will change the world and in millions of ways that nobody has thought of yet.  This is EXACTLY the type of opportunity you don't want to live to regret. I could let my money sit in a savings account or I can invest in something I believe will change the world.

I remember OneSeason!  I got in towards the end of the spike and ended up making a couple grand.  That was sweet.

 
Are you saying Buffett is buying crypto?  Explain how I'm stupid and naive.  Also, sweet name calling.  You must be super tough in real lyphe.
Not tough, never been tough.  Apologies for the crustiness of my comment - how about we just go with naive, with the ignorance implied.    

You critiquing Warren Buffett is beyond laughable.  Thinking that the world has passed him by is even worse.

So you are just a d i c k .  got it.

Well since you got to know me so quickly, it would be great to hear about how you have come to gain all of your financial investment expertise.

ETA:  and purposely evading the language filter is frowned upon around here guy.

I'll bite and try to get this thread on track.

Like a lot of other tokens, I think it's something that does fit in a space and is an interesting idea. But I don't see a need, and I don't see a path to adoption. This neither strikes me as a long term slow growth hold or a potential moonshot.

 
think we're  All Clear
I love having siff in here. 

I get your word isn’t gospel and you’re going to miss on calls, but I dig seeing a damn good “traditional” financial mind’s perspective on this. :thumbup:  

If you don’t mind me asking, Are you dabbling, ankle deep, or not in the market but intrigued by this? 

 
BUY, BUY, SELL, BUY, BUY.  Also buy silver.  Thanks. 
Much better odds and much more upside than sports betting. At least for now until the bubble bursts.  As long as it is done in the same vein as gambling, with money you are OK with losing it is all good. Probably will go up 300-500 percent this year, minimum  The bubble will burst and eventually  only a few strong ones will survive, so plan accordingly and profit in the short term.   A gazillion dollars was made during the dot.con era before it crashed.

Disagree.  Good money can be made picking off bad lines in sportsbetting and it's quite easy.  The problem with sports is that it doesn't scale well.

Tell you what.  You pick 5 of the best bad lines you see over the next three months and place an imaginary $2000 bet on each of those.  See if that money is larger than Cav's portfolio on the other thread by April 30th.  We can put $100 on it if you want to make it a bit interesting. 

ETA:. Link here.  It started at $10k now sitting at $12,700 even after experiencing a 45 percent market correction this week.  So see where it stands on April 30th.

OK lets clarify dates

I have until 4/20 to place my five bets?

I'm not familiar with Cavs portfolio, how are we going to measure this?  Is he starting with an imaginary $10000 starting when?  Are you going to track this?

You didn't answer any of my questions.  What lines can I bet? Am I risking only 2k on these or is it to win 2k?
