Misc Crypto trading

LOL, I've been lurking here for years and my first post is going to be on a crypto thread. RMTX is another you nailed. I had to give that one a couple - few weeks as I waiting to see them put some semblance of a team together. I was 50/50 on RMTX or Metapets but in the land of 90% plus failures, I liked RMTX better. Thanks for the suggestions you've put out there.
I forgot about that one. I like those also (like in my top four). I concur with you. I am try to bring some of the safer plays. I don't want anyone to lose money in this very wild area of investments. Welcome aboard, and post more often.
 
Is there any way to trade this stuff on the exchange or do you have to set up a digital wallet and all that?

I've been wanting to invest in the Metaverse but really haven't researched how. A token like this the best way to go about it?

Yes to the first question. Maybe to the second.

Decentraland, Sanbox and Axie Infinity are the current top three players in the metaverse space. They might be the safest bets today but this space changes by the hour and what's in the top 5 today may not be 3 months from now. I am fairly sure they are on Crypto com's and Gemini's exchange. Dencentraland and Axie are on Coinbase. KU Coin and Binance.US are also places to look. I prefer CoinGecko's listing of the various metaverse projects: https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/metaverse

You can use CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap to look up individual projects and get a feel for them and where to purchase down at the bottom of the page. Both should have a Cliff's Notes version of what something is trying to do and links to their sites, whitepapers, social media, etc.

Beyond those top players, you're likely headed off to MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc with BNB (Binance Coin) or ETH in hand and then off to Pancake Swap or Uniswap to swap coins.

The second question is swim at your own risk.

Vegas posted EGC (EverGrow Coin) among a couple others back on page one. I took a look at EGC and RMTX (going to their sites, etc, getting a feel for things) based on Vegas' suggestion before putting a little in. And by a little, I mean around 1-2% of what I have in crypto that if it goes up in flames in the next hour, it stinks, but it's not the end of the world. EGC could be something but honestly it's just potential right now. RMTX's success will likely be tied to EGC's success.

This leads to the question of distribution. On another forum I frequent, someone who has been in the space since at least 2015 suggests 90% BTC/ETH, 5% in other major plays of your choice (Cardano, Solana, Polkadot, Chainlink, etc) and 5% high risk plays, aka, ####coins. Me personally, I'm around 84 / 14 / 2. Grayscale's large cap crypto holding breakdown more or less is currently: 60% BTC, 30% ETH, 3% Solana, 3% Cardano, 1% Uniswap, 1% Chainlink, 1% Litecoin, 1% Bitcoin Cash.

Thank you for spending the time on a well-thought-out post. You are a true asset for this thread. I usually Have quick and somewhat caveman type post. I'm kinda busy and can be lazy. But looks like great minds think alike for I am I am basically locked up you're opinions .
 
A long week in crypto. EGC still has (ending on day soon) whale problem. I was going to make a post with graphs, detailing the trading. Iam not using charts, but, going over every account that bought and sold the last seven days. Very, very time consuming, but lets me keep a true finger on the pulse of the EGC. To get to the point, crash sells by a few whales. EGC is top heavy, yet it is slowly trading to a better balance of holders, as the project gets better. Here is a good video with EGC and RMTX info. I am starting to find other good projects, but, will still sit on EGC for now.
 
Same old for EGC, but, looks like a major move up very soon. Smoke signals of things to begin with good news and significate developments.
 
I'm in several projects, LOOKS and RBIF are my faves though.

Looksrare Token is connected to the Looksrare NFT marketplace, is a huge competitor for Opensea. You can stake the Looks on their site and receive more Looks and also, Weth. Every sale on the marketplace, 1 or 2% of each transaction goes into a pool that is split amongst stakers. This is crazy cool as NFTs can sell for thousands or hundreds of thousands each.This token is only 2 weeks old.. so very early.

RBIF Robo Inu Finance is a little over 2 months old, only 1700 holders, 100% organic growth. Ex Google and Saitama folks. Very transparent. Marketing starts at 5000 holders. Check out their telegram. All the links are on coinmarketcap.

BTC may never make it back....fortunes made and then lost are INSANE!
hawkish fed/inflation with geopolitical events (Ukraine, etc) will impact all risk assets this year
I encourage everyone to view Michael Saylor's Bloomberg interview one week ago on BTC investment timelines (minimum BTC timeline is 4 years)
"decentralized" blockchain technology will be transformative in the investment/financial realm in the next decade - however/currently, it's nascent, extremely volatile, and unregulated
my advice for cryptocurrency exposure: DCA in BTC proxies (i.e public companies holding large amounts of BTC: Coinbase, Voyager, Galaxy Digital); DCA in very large cap/Top 10 Coins/Tokens; utilize large/secure exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken); avoid anything in the crypto space with connections/ties to China, Russia, memes (Doge, Shiba, etc), or Elon Musk (I don't directly invest in TSLA or Doge)
at the present, I'm in a bunker/not expecting a consistent uptrend until 2023

Interesting comments. Saylor makes an outstanding case for BTC....and I own it, along with ETH, SOL, LUNA, and some minor MATIC, LINK positions. I own GBTC and MSTR as well. What I'm curious to know is why you mention TSLA. What's floating around there?

Elon Musk is one of the biggest shills on the planet...often a total liar. I'm convinced he's mentally ill and/or has a significant personality disorder. Musk also encourages retail investors into crypto shams/memes (Doge...yes, Doge is a total fraud). TSLA holds 42,902 BTC - the second largest holding of BTC (for a publicly traded company) after MSTR. I do feel that TSLA's share of EV's will diminish in the next decade after the push by legacy automakers (esp Ford, Toyota, VW) and upstarts (Rivian); however, one would be a fool to short TSLA in 2022.
 
I trade crypto as it’s been a consistent way to make money. But, it’s completely worthless…blockchain technology has practical applications but what does that have to with the value of Bitcoin or any other crypto. The crypto bubble will pop and the wealth lost will be tremendous. I personally think btc is going below $20k and probably closer to $10k over the next 12-24 months.

your cryptocurrency investments are ideal...
I equally invest in Top 10 coin/tokens; re-balance once quarterly; DCA and do not follow any metrics (with the exception of market cap); I stake exclusively on Kraken and those investments that I cannot stake I transfer to Nexo for interest accrual; I use Coinbase Card for 4% back in stellar/xlm (I've rec'd more than $800 in 9 weeks in stellar...and this total is after the recent cryptocurrency pullback); my only exception to puchasing Top 10 coins is Nexo - I purchase these coins to maintain platinum level on their platform - this is still a top 100 coin (haha and try to easily purchase Nexo cheaply! contemplate this: XLM [on CB] -> transfer to Binance US -> purchase BNB -> transfer to Trustwallet -> swap for Nexo -> transfer to Nexo account)

very possible...I do not recommend a large % of one's personal investments in the cryptocurrency space (perhaps no more than 10%)
my investment timeline is 10+ years...I do strongly feel that "decentralized" blockchain technology will be transformative in the next decade...not only influencing finance but everything else...
as I noted above, I'm underground in a bunker - will emerge in 2023 (maybe 2024!)

I use Celcius for staking, but I'm seriously thinking about pulling things out and putting things in a cold wallet (I use SafePal). I'm just not educated enough on things about all the inner workings of staking, pools, farming, etc. I'm cautious about needing to move funds if necessary and want to be able to do so if necessary. Right now is testing everyone's conviction....and not just in crypto.
 
I keep buying the $EGC dip. Not much to say, for the dip has been painful. Same story every day of 100 average joes keep buying and then a whale dumps $150,000 on them. Can see it in the charts. The four weeks delay of the release of Crator has not helped. But, Good news is that people are buying and things are about to be popping. Here is an update on the Crator utility, which I will be testing soon.

I can't disagree that he has some things going on in his head that aren't exactly normal. But he is brilliant. He is innovative, and he is a disruptive force in markets (in a good way). Just as Google did in early on, I believe he is a similar disruptive force that is unique and can't be duplicated. Yes, he will face competition in the EV world. But he IS the EV world. And as you mention, he is the second largest owner of BTC. That alone makes a case to invest. Throw in his rockets, satellites, etc etc, and I find it hard not to have a stake in his world. We don't know what he will come up with in a couple, 5, 10 years onward. I don't invest in TSLA for cars. I invest in it for innovation, financial stability, technology that not many can envision, etc. The market is full of blah companies that will get you 15% over time, and I do own some of them for diversification, but the real money is made in innovative, disruptive companies....just my opinion. And if we really step back and look at crypto....we are at the bottom of the floor as far as where this will be in 15+ years. We are so very young....like buying AMZN at $5 young.

I disagree about it being worthless. I'd dig deeper than just listening to what big bank, hedge fund, central bank execs say about it. They are EXTREMELY motivated to discredit crypto because it is a huge threat to their existence. If we REALLY think about it....fiat is worthless in the sense of it being backed by anything. 98% of fiat is moved just like crypto via digital means. What's fiat backed by? We just print it as if it really did grow on trees. It's inflationary. A value in a store of wealth is only what someone is willing to give for it. Gold would be worthless if all you could get is a pack of gum for an ounce. I'm not saying crypto won't go under and people lose everything they've put into it....but at the moment, it is not worthless. People hand over fiat to obtain it, and you can sell it to get fiat or any other thing people will give you so they can have it. Just because you can't "hold" it doesn't mean it isn't worth anything.

Worthless…useless…is there a difference. I guess, if people are going to value something that has no use than I guess it’s not worthless. The only reason crypto is popular is because of its volatility. It’s like a craps table in Vegas.

Fiat pays bills, buys goods, etc…it has a use in whatever country. And yes Fiat is govt backed.

Don’t fall for the get rich crypto scams, the Twitter pumpers…thats how Ponzi schemes work.

Agree with you on several points. We have not yet gotten to the point where crypto is traded for goods and services like fiat has. It is coming, but the banks, fed/central banks, governments, etc are scared crapless of it, so it's up against a lot of major powers to come on board to the equivalent of fiat acceptance. On a personal note, I don't fall for the crypto ponzi schemes...I do hold the "blue chip" cryptos and nothing more. I do not venture outside of the top 15 cryptos. And if you really want to discuss ponzi schemes, let's start with the stock market.

I can always tell when I discuss crypto with a millennial...the argument is always the same. Crypto is such a generational thing...the millenials eat up anything that is "fighting the power"..."unregulated"..."anti govt". Old dudes like myself just roll their eyes...

We are never ever going to have a scenario where bitcoin is used as a primary means of tender. That will never ever happen.

Now, what we may see is a digital coin/token created and regulated by our govt that's used but what's the point.

Great conversations in this thread! I am getting out of crypto altogether before I lose anymore money.
