The Spiraling Basketcase

Cryptocurrency Lingo HODL. A misspelling of ‘hold’ that stuck around to mean ‘keep’. A crypto trader who buys a coin and does not see himself selling in the f oreseeable future is called a hodler of the coin. FOMO. Short form for ‘fear of missing out’. The feeling when you see a huge green dildo on a chart and you don’t own that coin, so you sell other shit to buy into it freaking out. As crypto trading is still very much driven by emotions rather than valuation, FOMO is a huge factor to consider when swing trading in crypto. FUD. Short form for ‘fear, uncertainty and doubt’. Usually used in the form of “xxx spreading FUD again.” Example: JPMorgan’s Dimon spread FUD by saying Bitcoin is a fraud that will eventually blow up.cryptocurrency lingo spread fud ATH. Short form for “All-Time High”. Therefore it means the highest historical price of a specific coin. Whale. A huge player who has a substantial amount of capital. Whales are often the market movers for small alt-coi...

Thats right, LEND is able to give loans with your crypto as collateral.

There just has to be something better than Coinbase in the US. or Gemini. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7py0gk/i_just_transferred_out_my_funds_i_can_no_longer/?st=JCCGIV8X&sh=b226b7ec

Or is it? I’ve got plenty of the coin and I’d love this to come out in the black side of things. Let’s hope this article clears up any confusion, then tomorrow will tell. https://medium.com/@ekryski/verge-xvg-isnt-a-scam-it-s-misunderstood-ab46fb88e55

There have been a number of friends that have asked for links of information about coins and why I have them in my portfolio. I try to find a reason they are out there that would impact people and make a difference. I check to see if there are any big players out there backing these coins or investing in them. Amazon, Credit Card companies, Walmart, Alibaba, FedEx, etc. If I find big companies involved then chances are they have done the research I don't have the funds to do. I then possibly purchase a few coins and hope it turns out for the best and I add a few bucks to the vacation kitty. I personally use Coinbase to buy Ethereum . I buy this because right now Bitcoin is so congested the times it takes to verify the blockchain are way to long for my limited patience. Once I have the Ethereum I then send my money to an exchange. I use Bittrex , Binance and Gatehub primarily because of the ease of use. I don't want my bank account and credit card information out there ever...

While these may not be the real top 30 alt coins from 2017 it is surely a list of great to watch coins. I I have linked the post here    you to learn a few coins that you may not have known about and what they claim to be bringing to the game that is different. Enjoy the good read.

With the rise of Ripple in recent months there is another contender to be looked at.  STELLAR . This new to the game coin has some big investers such as IBM and Walmart. Info on that can be found  Here . Ripple and Stellar can be purchased on the Gatehub Exchange. 

 Those people and institutions who are under the influence of the government still tell you to stay away from bitcoin or any cryptocurrency that is out there. The congested state of the exchanges and slow verification times right now proves many don’t trust the control of government with our money. Invest people. Be smart, but invest.    www.independent.co.uk

Tron, or TRX on the exchange. Pairing up with a major company can lead to great gains if it’s a company we all know. Look at what ripple and stellar has done. It’s at $.18 and after the 6th when the news comes out expect it to double. I’ll say $.30 by the 13th. Let’s see if I come out correct. www.cnbc.com
