    I am tempted to sell LCT and possibly buy back cheaper? Or is this a real breakout over $200?

    Saw this last week, absolutely terrible choice by some clueless CNBC exec.
    Prepare for the thousand "Bitcoin cash is the real Bitcoin, read Satoshi's white paper" , "bitcoin cash is a real currency" statements.

    Hope there's not too many newcomers who see this program and get fooled by the idiot.

    Wish I did, actually.

    LTC is taking off.

    I have some sell limits at 220-250 vol down.

    Buy ins at 180-190 volume tapered. It'll shake like it always does.

    Unfortunately their Fast Money program doesn't have great Bitcoin representation in terms of knowledge. There's Brian Kelly, who has been pumping up and touting Bitcoin for a while, but his actual knowledge of it is maybe a 4 or 5 on a 10 scale. I just posted it to see if there may be a trainwreck during the interview. lol.

    I hope the CNBC interviewer accidentally calls it "BCash" just so that we can see this:

    In retrospect, I should've sold my house, bought BTC or LTC with the proceeds, and lived under a bridge for a couple of weeks. Then bought a new house.

    Everything looks so obvious in retrospect. ;)

    I'm just a sh***y college student but would be a millionaire if I put my money into btc AFTER I even made a presentation on it years ago.

    I think pretty much everyone in this thread has similar regrets when thinking of our past "lol this is just a fad, go see your money burn" sentiments. :D

    No one knows really anything. Who says it isn't a $1,000 coin?

    **** man, for saying that, I should buy in. I want it to plunge first. I got a **** ton of LTC though. I thought whale level, but nah.

    Our ability to predict the future is only as good as our ability to absorb the past.

    Precedent and history has nothing to do with how CCs work. It's literally throwing any trading knowledge and curriculum out of the window.

    THIS IS UNCHARTED TERRITORY.

    Treat it as if you can lose it all, and you'll be fine.

    I went to arguably the greatest Ivy League in our nation. 3.6 in applied mathematics.

    There's dudes from A&M in the energy industry that smoke me. ****, there's chicks who have a bachelor's from Clear Lake UH that I don't **** with in trading.

    It's honestly nothing but a passport. It really holds little value past that point. I don't get hired by a large o&g major at 23 without it. But I could have been a trader or developed like this elsewhere.
