Definitely going to be interesting to see how crypto plays out. I got into bitcoin when the futures were announced in December 2017 via the ETN on the Swedish Nasdaq. It was quite the ride from $8k - $20k - $6k in just a couple months! Like you, I held on through all that, but it wasn't easy! I wonder what will happen when bitcoin ETF's in the US are finally announced. Last I heard it was supposed to be sometime 2nd quarter this year.

I wonder what will happen when bitcoin ETF's in the US are finally announced. Last I heard it was supposed to be sometime 2nd quarter this year. I bought XRP ie Ripple on the basis of what a buddy of mine had said about Ripple being the next Bitcoin, i went in with the full expectation that i would ultimately lose the lot, but the more i read about Ripple and XRP, i actually realised the whole Ripple thing is actually very viable and there is a lot of potentional to make some serious cash more so than even Bitcoin Is XRP going up in value ? Yes...its a question of how high...it may remain around USD 1 coin or it could be worth USD 1k a coin...nobody knows...all i know USD 80 and i would be getting twitchy to sell, at USD 400, i would have 2 Aston Martin DB 11's on order Even today i could bail on this at a fair profit as i bought most at about 0.48c on last "crash" It will be interesting when "big money" ie the banks etc start playing in this market and it interesting to see the Thailand connection with the latest Ripple trials via Krungsri Bank and standard chartered...seems they are ahead of world Anyway if Ripple/XRP ever gets to USD 400, all BM members are invited to my new gaff to prostate yourselves in front of the Aston and we will have party to end all parties.....

Haha. It would take more than an Aston for me to prostrate myself though haha.
A lot of people went through that same cycle. Thinking crypto is a worthless bubble at first but then coming around once they realize how useful it really is.
Have you looked at Ethereum? It has a lot of other uses other than a currency as well, such as distributed apps. Dapps as they're called, have their info distributed on all the devices in the network via a blockchain, rather than stored on a central server as is normal now. The main advantage of distributing the info is no one player has control of all of it and censorship is almost impossible.
Like you said, crypto could be one of the first big things regular people had a chance get into before big money does. It may end up being one of the biggest bubbles ever, but it looks like it's got a long way to run before it crashes to zero.

Given the high risk in these coins, for me personally i think Ethererum, like Bitcoin are too expensive these days to make the sorts of return one would be looking for from Cryptos. When i got into this i decided to risk no more than USD 10K, so XRP looked like a good buy at the time, 0.48c each but with the possibilites of achieving some signifcant value over time due to real life applications Many analysis are predicting USD 10 per coin by end of 2018, but we will see, but certainly Ripple seems to be gaining more and more traction, although this is not really being reflected in the XRP price as yet

Time will tell my friend, if the whole crypto thing is a bubble, i will hopefully will have bailed before the bubble bursts, worst case i have flushed 10k down the toilet... How much are those orchids ?...

Oh, come on now.
Admit you had at least a little bit of 'fear of missing out' as bitcoin climbed over 1,300% last year...
Like with the gold rush, real money can be made by supplying the infrastructure for people who are participating in the bubble. Blockchain, the backbone of crypto, and alt-coins like Ripple and Ethereum that have real uses could make good long-term investments.
If your orchids somehow die off when crypto skyrockets later this year, I have a couple friends back in Canada working at marijuana start-ups that could send you enough plants directly to your house to fill up your garden

, gone past that stage, as I have mentioned on here before, I am all for capital protection these days, rather than specualtion. Heres a story from years ago, not something I would recommend, I had a spare 10k in the bank and didnt know what to do with it, so I put it on Barca beating Arseanl in the Champions League final, doubled my money overnight.

One would be buying large trailer of cow shit and dumping it on their ex bosses lawn
