I use Coinbase. I have seen advertisement for eToro, that seems like a popular one too. I have seen all the chatter about Dogecoin but have not invested. I just checked the price - .41. Am I looking at the wrong one or something? All that hype for a crypto that is worth 41 cents? Seems like the all time high is 70 cents. I must be missing something. Consider it didn’t break a penny for the first 6 years until I believe January, that’s a massive jump. Imagine getting in when it was .0005? 1 million coins would have cost maybe 50 dollars. Now it’s worth over 400k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I would have expected the price to be a bit more than that. A person would have had to buy a massive amount of shares to make any significant profit. I guess that's what this whole craze is about though. I should probably start looking at some cheap ones...ANKR is 14 cents. I am going to buy 50,000 shares! Lol not really.

Personally the whole doge thing kills whatever credibility crypto had. It’s spent years trying to create this legitimacy of it as a viable, ground-breaking realm of universal currency and here comes this admittedly joke coin that people rallied around because it was funny. And by the time there was momentum the movement tried to justify itself as a sort of anti-movement when really it was just people looking to get rich quick. For some it worked but I’ll be honest, I’ve been dabbling in this world since online poker used ETH is payout so it does bother me. crypto had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearrock Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 28 minutes ago, BatteredFanSyndrome said: Wtf happened? China banned its financial institutions from offering services involving cryptocurrency. Speculations are that other countries will follow suit. I can understand people believing in blockchain technology or even that there will be some widely used currency in the future that incorporates blockchain or aspects of it. I don't understand why anyone would think any of the cryptocurrency currently in circulation now would be such a currency. Blockchains' mainstream future likely comes from commercial security applications (having nothing to do with cryptocurrency) or a digital currency offered and controlled by a country's central bank or at least a major financial institution with relevant regulation on user identiy and transaction transparency. People are going to make a lot of money on cryptocurrency speculation. Some are going to get mind blowing returns. But none of that has anything to do with currently circulating cryptocurrency's future as some legitimate form of currency or asset. The gains are based on ponzi like speculation and someone is going to be holding the bag at the end of the line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 The whole “decentralized” narrative really goes out the window when a single billionaire can ****post his way into crashing the entire asset class. I’m going to keep buying ETH since there are enough interesting use cases for it already and an actively engaged developer community , and continue to ignore Buttcoin and the rest. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you just making this up or did you actually pull this from the data? cause the data says the shorts immediately reinvested as longs, and it’s market manipulation.

tshile Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Ok. So China banned crypto. Again. Because they tend to ban it after huge bull runs. Combined with the short/long activity... China is basically just riding the Bull wave up, then shorting, then “banning”, winning on the short, then going back into it at 50% the value solid ****ing strategy screws the rest of us but solid ****ing strategy. Get the gains up, win the shorts, buy back in at 50% the cost. Christ that’s brilliant 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Wells Fargo: US bank set to offer crypto fund to rich clients Another big US bank is set to introduce a crypto-currency fund, despite the recent fall in value of Bitcoin. Wells Fargo said on Wednesday it would introduce professionally managed funds for its more wealthy clients. In a report, its investment institute said the risks associated with digital currencies meant it would favour "qualified investors". It came as the price of Bitcoin fell after China said it was imposing fresh curbs on cryptocurrency. It took the value of the digital coin below $34,000 (£24,030) for the first time in three months on Wednesday, spurring a sell-off of other digital currencies including Ethereum and Dogecoin.

DCSaints_fan Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I partially divested around the peak, mostly as a psychological move to recover initial investment, but wanted to keep some in to get an potential upside. Wondering when/if I should buy back in. With Bitcoin I wasn't as much of a "believer" as I am with the other coins such as Ethereum - it was more about speculation.
