Re: Cryptocurrency
Looks like the bottom is in. Going to be an interesting couple of years now
Re: Cryptocurrency
Don't think we've hit anywhere near the bottom yet, bit of a minor rally, it'll lose all that and more soon, just my opinion of course.
I'm still buying every week though, bit's in selected coins and markets where I feel there will be a substantial upside in the future

Back in the day, I did very well on the upside and also the downside of the dot-com bubble and I don't think we've even got close to the pain that's coming... The price has factored in rate rises but not an almighty recession, large defaults and more company collapse which I think is likely...
I am being cautious with crypto at the moment and averaging in slowly at £500 per week for the last month or so... I will carry on doing this and have also set aside 50k as a one-off addition to my portfolio to either buy on the retest of a breakout support line or more likely when we fall to between 12k and 15k... I will then up my weekly crypto investment to 1k per week when I think we are in the clear... I am expecting BTC to go below $15k at least, with a wick down to around 8k, although I also expect a relief rally to about 28k to 30k first.

Re: Cryptocurrency
at the moment for the last couple of month or so I've been increasing DOT, HNT, ZIL, EGLD mainly, however before that I did DOT, MATIC, ENJ, My MATIC & ENJ are now at a place I feel I've enough and they're staking for now.
I've got a CDC VISA debit card and all rewards are in CRO, all rewards go to DeFi for staking, so that just continues to grow and build continually, occasionally when CRO went below my average I bought little bits to keep averaging the price down.

Re: Cryptocurrency
I don't think we will see $35K this time, I think it'll stay below $30K and keep moving sideways in certain bands, also "think" we will see more big drops and expect to see it at ~$15K before we enter another sustained upturn and a Bull market forming. Right now is where the potential to make some serious gains lies, in all markets, not just cryptocockneyclaret wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 12:24 amCan see a run to $35k then down again.. definitely think we will see 16/18k before the next seriously charge.

Risk.net - a magazine for risk managers and (financial) risk management is offering f.o.c charge access to all their articles 28th and 29th Sept. (Yes, it used to be part of my working life before I retired). I took advantage of their free offer and saw on article with the following heading:
"Credit checks, what credit checks? How crypto lending ate itself."
"Collapse of hedge fund Three Arrows Capital exposes 'sloppy and irresponsible' credit standards among crypto lenders."
The article is long and detailed. I know that some who've posted on this thread have posted about their crypto lending experience. I hope you haven't got caught up in the 3AC and related fallout.

Re: Cryptocurrency
3arrows was a while ago and brought down a couple of other crypto trading houses, Celsius and Voyager, at this moment FTX has bought Voyager out of Chapter 11 (this week) and is working to get hold of Celsius, FTX is large and has visions of growing, good strategy for them. 3Arrows borrowed from Celsius and Voyager, defaulted on payments, which brought them both down, people who have coins in both these firms have had them locked, no access! Could be a total loss and will depend on what FTX decides to do, people get access to coins, will they keep them there or sell, will they give them a fraction of there worth, cent's on the dollar, that's in the future but FTX want to grow, want the new customers, obviously what they do will dictate the outcome..
To the best of my knowledge 3arrows were not a place where individuals were buying/holding coins, so my thoughts are not many individuals will have lost coins there, but by default they will have, I had ~$100 (in todays vale probably around $10) only on Celsius, where I had put it just two days before they locked it up, my thoughts are, "I'll never see it" but just maybe if FTX move forward, it certainly hasn't worried me but obviously I was annoyed at myself. One of the main rules is only invest what you can afford to lose, it applies here, but does clearly highlight the potential risks. I think we will see more downside in stocks and crypto, also think more companies will go to the wall and many of the new start up coins will fail due to the financial issues of the world presently.

Re: Cryptocurrency
Interesting thing is I can spend my crypto much faster than I/you can your stocks/shares, takes me less than 1 minute to convert to USDC, which is a coin pegged to the dollar, so always 1:1, then I sell my USDS for actual dollars in my bank account, so theoretically yes I can spend them in many places plus crypto is under adoption big time.
Many retailers are starting to allow crypto payments and it's probably the fastest growing market in the crypto space, is it widely adopted no, not yet but relatively soon you'll see it.

I don't see BTC at either of your points for quite a while, I'm thinking, well guessing it won't go below 10% of $15K nor do I see any rally going 10% above $25K until we start the Bull run again, obviously lot's of people will take early gains if it get's anywhere near $25K Therefore it'll be a slow trend up with plenty of drops before continuing it's upward trend to above $50K, selling is one of the hardest parts of crypto I feel.

My gut feeling is that we will see 6 to 12 months of choppiness with one decent pump and one decent drop in that time... The decent pump will most likely be a push of a false bottom, which can often result in 100% gains in a short time in bubble pop bear markets and BTC can really fly in a short space of time so I'm ready for that, especial when BTC seems to be ahead of the curve when reacting to macro events and factoring in future positive or negative news.

Re: Cryptocurrency
I've no BTC or ETH, in the grand scheme of things my crypto is a fraction of my investment strategy, but one I enjoy playing with just to see how well I can do against "professionals" running the bulk of my portfolio, therefore I don't see BTC making all that much compared to certain alt coins, of course there is more certainty and less risk with BTC. However my strategy with crypto is for large gains and therefore more risk is involved, I'm just buying regularly ready for the upturn, which I know is going to be quite a while.BigChaCha wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 5:18 pmYeah, since I last posted, that upwards price target became invalidated for me on the charts and also solidified by the macro background so I've revised my thoughts and I agree that we are unlikely to see BTC pump as high as I previously thought it might in the short term and especially before Christmas...

In terms of the case then who knows. Anytime between November and next March depending on appeals by the SEC to the recent (6th?) judgement to get them to hand over key emails. It seems to pump 5-8% every time there’s a positive tweet in recent days.

I had some XLM but a few months ago swapped it out for a different coin, not sure it's going to be that good but who knows, it seems to meander around but if there's a big upturn in use of adopting to world currencies then can see it being ready, few others working to that end also. I still feel that's a few years away and will be after the next Bull run.

Re: Cryptocurrency
going to stay in the news a long time as there court case with the SEC drags on and on, the fact the SEC hasn't won and indeed has had several rulings from the judge go against them lends credence to XRP coming out of this well. However, SEC will have them in there sights and they will look for other areas to attack them in, they news worthy because it will be a landmark court case and I think everyone who is invested in crypto will be hoping XRP wins the day.

were you hurt by any of the company failures?
have you reacted to moving funds of exchanges to a cold wallet? If so, was it easy?
have you stopped buying, have you sold?
Do you view it as a market opportunity and you're buying?

It’s certainly turbulent at the moment but as we get closer the next Bitcoin halving we are also getting closer to the next bull run.

Once I sorted this out in my mind, I started buying more but all going to DeFi and off the exchange immediately with what I've bought during this period.

HMRC has stepped up pressure on cryptocurrency speculators it suspects have underpaid tax on their assets. The tax office has been collecting data on crypto traders for the past few years, and is now targeting them specifically to check if they have paid tax correctly.
'Investors need to be fully aware of what tax they need to pay or they will be issued with a heavy penalty on top of the tax they already owe.'

Re: Cryptocurrency
If, and I hope it doesn't happen, crypto ETF get some approval there is no reason why an ETF can't be a single cryptocurrency. There may be other ETFs that can be a basket of cryptocurrencies.No Ney Never wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 3:28 pmWith the SEC approval of a crypto ETF expected by many this quarter, along with the halving of the BTC mining rate, there's quite a bit going on.
BTC expected to lead the charge up the charts over the next 12 months.
What is likely to be in the group of crypto that may form the basis of an ETF?

I hope you don't know what "grass up" means. I would hate to think that reporting a crime is considered somehow reprehensible.No Ney Never wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 9:17 pmThey're always looking for people to grass themselves up. Take Kraken based in San Francisco for instance, how can HMRC UK compel them to handover details of trades made by UK citizens? How are HMRC able to assess the amount of tax an individual crypto trader is liable for?
A "grass" is someone who is involved with the crime and changes his or her mind and gives evidence against the other conspirators. Not a witness. If you see someone entering your neighbour's house with a petrol can and rag in a bottle, is isn't "grassing" if you tell the police. (Unless, of course, you supplied the petrol.)
