    Saw something that said you had to be invited by a current member? Is that a thing or registration closed for everyone?

    Liquidated some small holdings in cheap coins and put in a limit buy on Ripple at $1.87. Filled 5 minutes later after a sell-off.

    That is how you make whale moves brah.

    I will repeat what I said to you earlier: you mistake me for someone who cares about you or what you do. I don't. I know you're a fraud and a moron and will continue to call you out on it. I don't have any need to place bets with you. If you don't want me to "harass" you, don't post stupid things - then I won't call out your stupidity.

    We're either talking past each other or you misunderstand me (or both). The simple reality is that market cap tells you how much interest and money there is in these things. The market cap of alt-coins has skyrocketed in the last month. That's hard data and not really debatable. It's a lot easier to make 50x gains taking a marketcap from $1MM to $50MM than it is from $50MM to $2.5B than it is from $2.5B to $125B. That's why Ripple won't go to $30 by joining Coinbase - the math doesn't work. As such, it's now going to be much harder to make those big gains, because many more people are looking for the "next big thing" - far more so than was the case one month ago. That means many of these alt-coins will get bid up a lot earlier in the process, meaning many more of them will fail to hold their value.

    Not sure if you experienced the internet bubble in the late 1990's, but this is similar to that in so many ways, even to the point that putting "Blockchain" in your company name doubles its value, just as adding ".com" did back then. People were throwing money into anything and everything out there in the hopes that it would explode, bidding it all up well before any of these companies had any success. No one knew exactly what the future of the internet was. The crazy thing is that the internet *was* revolutionary and it lived up to all the hype and even the most extreme expectations. Yet even with that, most of the companies from that period failed, and even the great success stories took years or even a decade or more to get back to their bubble valuations.

    The biggest money is made by the people discovering these things, not the people chasing them. It's now much harder to be in the former category because there are many, many more eyeballs and much, much more money in the game. That's not to say money can't be made - but it's going be a hell of a lot more rare. In the 1990's, it was at first that you invested in every IPO and it went up - that's the phase we just went through. Once everyone was pouring money in - the phase we're in now - you didn't make real money unless you hit the big winners of that revolution - Amazon, Google, etc.

    If you’re not riding the XRP wave right now you’re doing it wrong.

    ripple is on a roll. I'm pissed at myself for not hopping on yesterday at 1 dollar thinking it would drop as dudes cashed out but ITS STILL GOING. Wonder if it's true that it will be added to coinbase eventually. I got a little bit of ripple and I've seen huge increases since I got in yesterday but I didn't really put much in it.

    I've placed most of my trust and faith into cardano.

    let me elaborate

    dec 9th:

    dec 13th reply to me

    jesus man go back to dec 7-dec 12 posts in this thread, this ripple surge past $2 HAS ****ING OWNED YOU. MISTER I DUMPED RIPPLE.

    you need to be educated on market cap, you need to be educated on potential developments, you need to be educated.

    let me say it again. traders trade, analysis analyze. when an analyst comes to me and says these weather patterns show X and Y prices in CAISO, PJ, ERCOT etc i say k, great brah. i trade off of intuition.

    example: look at ercot, pjm, caiso THIS WEEK vs regular times. i had the ENTIRE ****ING DESK TELING ME TO BE FLAT TO LIMITED ON IT. I WENT MOTHER****ING LONG CAUSE EVERY IDIOT WENT FLAT TO SHORT THINKING AVERAGE WEATHER IN WEST. they are right average weather in WEST, but guess what. thats not all that counts.

    stop ****ing looking at techs, look at a fundamentals and look at people. people see HYPE, jump on it, AND RUN IT UP.

    you dont need education for that, you just need to be faster to them and be willing to lose it all if people run away.

    You're literally eating **** for your previous ripple and anti-SIL talk right now. like @HR Dept said about ripple, if you're not riding the wave you're in the wrong. man you just need to focus on the wave and not try to be the guy searching. learn to trade, not analyze. tell me how my market cap tastes. where is it now? 5th back when we fought, 2nd now right?

    Blockchain will have a revolutionary impact on financial services. Even though we won't see a pure form of blockchain - cutting out intermediaries completely (let's be realistic) - banks/clearing houses are going to start using blockchain networks for transactions within the next five years. Ripple is one of the few cryptocurrencies/FinTech companies that actually does anything. There's actually a purpose for it - secure payment structure with ultra fast and secure settlement. Even at current prices, I am not hesitating to buy more.
