    This thread got way less active because the #1 troll using this thread to play out some sort of rich person fantasy persona got banned.

    I'm not sure how fun this roller coaster is. All it does is go down. Oh well. Win some lose some.

    Agree on both points. I just threw a tiny amount to see how it played out. I didn't intend to become rich. I just wanted to learn the ropes with at least a little something invested.

    As for the shots takes at family members, I was disgusted.

    Was a good meeting and agree with their points about regulations for icos and exchanges.

    Would've liked for the speakers to talk a little bit more about others aspects of blockchain though, especially industry use-cases. But it seems the Senate read the dossier and knew about the great prospects of the technology.

    Overall, U.S. regulation is a positive for the sector. No crazy draconian measures.

    I really see this huge correction / crash as a MAJOR buying opportunity. I am sending some major mula to buy more VEN. I just hope things stay the same or lower until my funds clear (another 7 days).

    If you somebody didn't know a thing about VeChain, just know that Jim Breyer, billionaire tech investor is an early investor and advisor to the company. Does that guarantee anything? Not really, but guys like Breyer do an extreme level of due diligence before giving their stamp of approval.

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but hope you wired that money, because the buy in point is going to be much higher soon :(

    The market tends to ebb and flow with ETH and BTC. Unless VEN takes off from ETH, he should be good.

    Right, but if he is wiring money, the dollar buy in won't be as good anymore.

    I know man. When I saw at $2.75 a couple of days ago, all I saw was dollar$ signs telling me to sell a kidney or something. Not sure if this crash is behind us, though.

    I got greedy and didn't put more funds in then when I could. I think the worst is behind us, imo. I was notoriously bearish amongst the CF brethren fwiw.

    Same here. I didn't plan for additional funds because I didn't think VEN could ever be bought below $5 again. Now that it is, soon I am going to be making some major decisions.

    Expecting a run into rebranding at the end of the month, followed by sell on the news action.

    By mid year, and after mainnet, I expect a much more stable VEN because of the dividend-like THOR tokens.

    By year end, VEN could be on a major run, especially if grandpa BTC goes to new highs.

    This is my road map for 2018.

    The VeChain leaders seem to know what they are doing, unlike the 95% of the cryptos. Take for example OAX. Interesting project with decentralized exchange and only 12 million coins. The problem is that I don't even know if the company is "alive"? Hardly any news other than a happy new year announcement. Are u fuking kidding? Lol
