    Cryptocurrency Please review the rules

    Cryptocurrency Please review the rules


    Please review the rules

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 02:51 PM PST

    Welcome to all the new folks, and the old folks too. With the influx of new users, we'd like to remind everyone to please review the rules. You can find the complete set here:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/wiki/expanded_rules

    A few highlights because they are kind of long:

    1. Be civil - don't call other users names, don't use offensive language (certain words that are sprinkled generously around subs like /r/wsb or /r/4chan are not welcome here), etc.
    2. Don't post referral links or codes, don't request people to PM you for codes, etc.
    3. Don't link threads elsewhere to drive people here (no VM or brigading)
    4. Keep discussion on-topic - don't go into unrelated threads to shill
    5. No meta discussion - use modmail or /r/cryptocurrencymeta

    Finally, we added a new rule relatively recently:

    Moderators may ask users to provide proof for any personal cryptocurrency related stories that reach the front page. Refusing to provide reasonable proof may lead to post removal and/or a possible ban.

    We haven't asked anyone for proof-of-gainz the last few days, but if you're going to post a sob story or a success story, please be prepared for the eventuality that we may actually ask you for proof and ban you if you don't deliver.

    Have fun and be nice :)

    Elon Musk reminds me of a rich billionaire who throws a wad of 100's into traffic and watches poor people scramble for the cash while a bus can hit them at any moment.

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 04:02 AM PST

    Anyone kinda disturbed by his behaviour? He clearly knows what he's doing but seems to enjoy the affect it has on people. He's toying with the young and the ignorant and he seems to get off on it while drunkenly watching from his mansion.

    Only after a day of hitting the new ATH of $1500, we have already hit a new ATH of 1600$. Ethereum is in a major upwards trend and will probably go even further. This community is really strong supporter and hoping we can push this forward.

    1 december 2020: $600

    1 january 2021: $741

    1 february 2021: $1315

    This doge situation is seriously damaging to crypto

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 12:31 AM PST

    Elon Musk literally tweeting 'Doge' and it skyrocketing the way it has is just giving more reasons for governments to take legal action against crypto. So many will lose money from this and any credibility Elon Musk has about crypto will be gone. The whole doge thing is funny, sure, but I'm not sure we want mainstream media using it to define crypto as a literal joke.

    It's too late to get into crypto.

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 11:21 AM PST

    It's 2011. BTC has recently hit $32.

    I tell myself "Damn...I should have bought some when it was $0.50 a BTC. $32 is too expensive. Guess it's too late to get into crypto." BTC later falls to $2 and I don't buy any.

    It's mid-2013. BTC has recently hit $220.

    I tell myself "Damn...I should have bought some when it was $32 a BTC. $220 is too expensive. Guess it's too late to get into crypto." BTC later falls to $70 and I don't buy any.

    It's late 2013. BTC has recently hit $1100.

    I tell myself "Damn...I should have bought some when it was $220 a BTC. 1100 is too expensive. Guess it's too late to get into crypto." BTC later falls to $315 and I don't buy any.

    It's 2017. BTC has recently hit 20k

    I tell myself "Damn...I should have bought some when it was $1100 a BTC. 20000 is too expensive. Guess it's too late to get into crypto." BTC later falls to $3700 and I don't buy any.

    BTC has recently hit $40000.

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 07:41 PM PST

    Ethereum is currently ranked #49th largest asset by market capitalization globally, sitting pretty with a market cap of $190,213,748,187.

    Ethereum left Qualcomm (semiconductor manufacturer), Eli Lilly (big pharma), among others, in its dust, climbing 7 rankings in the last 24 hours and 15 this week. It now sits just under Pepsi Co.

    Understanding market cap, circulating supply, max supply and why the price of a coin is the least important thing to Care about in terms of where the value of a coin is headed.

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 04:42 PM PST

    Hello everyone!

    I've realized that a lot of people, specially new ones in this community don't really have a lot of knowledge about these terms and what each of them mean, so I decided to try to make everything clear so that people don't expect completely unrealistic things(like doge is going to reach 1000 USD)

    So first things first what does each of those words you find in websites like coinmarketcap and coin gecko mean? Let's understand one by one:

    VALUE

    The value of a coin is the last price someone paid for that coin, note that it doesn't need to be a "whole" coin you can buy 0.0001 coin but the value is always stated as a whole coin.

    EXAMPLE: 1 BTC = 37.791 USD this is how much the last BTC transaction cost to the buyer corrected for 1 BTC. ( So if he bought 0.1 BTC he paid 3.7791 USD)

    CIRCULATING SUPPLY

    This is the amount of a coin that can be exchanged at the moment.

    EXAMPLES:

    BTC = 18,618,562 ETH = 114,525,091

    Note that BTC circulating supply is way lower then ETH which means there is less bitcoin in existence now than there is Ethereum(this is very important)

    TOTAL SUPPLY

    Total supply is the amount of a coin that can be exchanged + the amount that is locked(but already exists). NOT the amount that will be available in the future.

    MAX SUPPLY

    This is the total amount of a coin that will ever exist.

    NOTE: some coins DON'T have a max supply as there will always be new coins generated. Ex:. Dogecoin

    MARKET CAP Market cap is a simple multiplication of the value of a coin with its circulating supply

    Example: BTC: 37,791 USD x 18,618,562 = 703614076542

    As you probably already know Bitcoin is the number one Cryptocurrency in existence today and that is NOT because it has the highest value, but because it has the highest market cap.

    That is why 62% of the crypto value is in BTC, because that's the amount of money that is invest in that coin considering the amount of coins in existence.

    so for Ethereum to surpass bitcoin its value DOESNT need to go 40k it needs to go to 6143 (at the current supply)

    Just so you guys understand how absurd is the idea of doge reaching 100 USD, were that to happen at the current circulating supply (note that doge supply is always increasing quite faster then BTC and ETH) it would have a market cap of 128 trillion dollars which is 128 times more than all money invested in all cryptocurrencies at the moment. Oh but how about 1 dollar? Then it would be 1.28 trillion which is a bit more then all the money invested now.

    Conclusion

    DON'T BUY A COIN BECAUSE THE VALUE IS LOW, check the market cap for growth but also check the technology and how other people might be interested in buying that coin as well.

    An Analysis of the ETH Pump

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 10:27 AM PST

    An Analysis of the ETH Pump

    With ETH hitting $1635 as of me writing, you may have some questions. How did we get here? Could we have predicted this? Is dad ever coming back from Walmart? Where do we go from here?

    I can answer three out of four:

    How did we get here?

    We pretty much had a perfect storm of conditions all aligning at once:

    -Grayscale announced the reopening of it's ETH trust. This is one of the biggest factors, as it causes a massive influx of institutional investors.

    -VISA announced additional partnerships and adoption of cryptocurrencies.

    -Introduction of ETH futures trading.

    -Volatility in traditional markets due to the short squeeze of GME, among other market factors.

    -Introduction of new investors to the crypto space due to the dogecoin pump and dump.

    All of these things together caused a skyrocket in demand from day traders, retail investors, your boomer parents, and institutional investors all at once.

    Could we have predicted this?

    Absolutely. Take a took at this 1 month chart and see if you can identify any patterns:

    oh yeah you like that don't you

    That's right baby, we're in the classic "Vitalik's Dong" formation.

    From the moment the rally breaks $1k at the taint, you can see a clear pattern form. The price hits alternating higher highs and higher lows, forming the ceiling and base of the shaft, respectively. It starts to condense as we reach the tip and then splooges out into our current rally. Our current price point leaves us at an interesting spot: we're just lightly stroking the top of the shaft. If we can break through, we can expect to see a higher climax to our current rally. If we just edge that top, we may continue back down to the base and see a retraction to $1350. I think our most likely scenario, however, is that we continue somewhere in the middle: along the "golden stream."

    Is daddy coming home?

    You're going to have to be a financially independent big boy now, that's what ETH is for.

    Hope this helped, taking questions in the comments.

    Petition to ban all doge posts for 12-24 hr. after Elon Musk tweets about it (including this one). Leave it on twitter.

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 01:02 AM PST

    It's annoying and dilutes the sub. We need a 12 or 24 hr moratorium on anything Doge or BTC after Elon tweets about it. To be fair, this should apply equally to Doge and BTC since you know he's gonna tweet about both again and his power to move them is too strong. Or maybe limit it to a single post/link to the tweet and keep all discussion in that post.

    Musk is NOT doing us a favor, be careful out there

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 12:00 AM PST

    What he is doing with these manipulative tweets is ONLY hurting the credibility of cryptocurrencies. A lot of people have been hurt financially in the past weeks and he is still recklessly tweeting and encouraging people to invest in shitty meme coins.

    PLEASE be careful, do your own research and don't risk your money in meme coins.

    He can afford to make jokes but most of us cannot.

    Stay safe and healthy!

    I’m not retired and I can’t afford a luxury car, but crypto paid for my wedding!

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 02:36 AM PST

    You guys seem to appreciate stories of crypto changing your life. This isn't the typical crypto success story, but I'd say it's definitely life-changing. I didn't get in on any ICOs or even buy in at an ideal time. My profits were decent but not huge. I made plenty of mistakes that cost me. (Think twice about trying to trade!) From my investment and really just putting my extra money into crypto as savings made my wedding possible. I was actually selling most of my remaining crypto during my honeymoon to cover all of the final bills. It was bitter-sweet to say the least.

    It was an interesting journey for sure and I'll definitely be back at some point.. Although, I think I aged at about 2x the normal rate. Good luck everybody!

    Today I took some profit to fund my dream of starting my own game dev studio!

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 12:08 PM PST

    A few weeks ago I decided that when ETH got to 1500 again I would sell some and invest it into my passion game development project, and today I DID IT (can't believe my wife agreed). I have been programming on the side in unreal engine (basically my second full time job) for 5+ years and working on this particular project for more than 2 years. I was able to comfortably take out enough to fund the hardware & tools needs for the foreseeable future as well as hiring some artists and designers for the next few months of work.

    The game itself is a Dark Fantasy Action RPG.

    Avoid the DOGE pump and dump.

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 01:14 AM PST

    Elon musk is again at it posting DOGECOIN memes and shilling it. He might either be willing to play with millions of people's retail investment or he might also be drunk or someother.

    DOESN'T MATTER. Do not FOMO again into DOGE and see what happened the last time. Especially NEWCOMERS, these kind of stuff always happen often because of these new GME retail frenzy and also expect a bunch of posts of people BECOMING MILLIONAIRES OVERNIGHT WITH DOGE.

    Informational post on dogecoin for the new people who are experiencing cryptocurrency for the first time: Do not hold expecting it to go to a dollar!

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 02:27 AM PST

    I hope everyone has a fun day tomorrow! For the new people, do not hold hoping it hits a dollar that will not happen. Be careful out there! It's all about fun!

    This coin has its great highs here and there due to it being a beautiful meme. The reason why people pump it and dump it is because there are 120 billion coins in circulation and more made every month. It's not profitable outside of anomalous moments like this and when it is profitable it's only if you managed to buy when it's close to its basement price.

    There are some great prices tonight and Elon's tweets are definitely going to affect the price tomorrow, that said if you see a nice profit and you can't afford to lose your money make sure you pull out your initial investment at an appropriate time. Doge will not be hitting a dollar tomorrow, so be careful!

    If you see frequent dips that is because most people are selling right away because they know this is a high moment and they happened to have coins from before this month or they bought in after it hit 5 cents or so and are trying to break even.

    You might not know but this coin, It was created to be a joke meme coin and the amount of coins that exist kinda force it to stay that way outside of increased meme spikes. You won't be seeing it hit a dollar because too many coins exist but if you think it's worth while to invest into you'll want to do it when it's 2 pennies or less for maximum returns.

    There are 300,000 bitcoins made annually compared to 5 billion dogecoin made annually. And there are only 21 million bitcoins where as there are 5700 times more doge coin. It's over inflated and it increases by 5 billion each year.

    So have fun! And be careful, do not go using your Bill money.

    Edit: Think of it this way: if you are trying to sell a cookie do you sell it to someone who has 5700 cookies or to the person who has 21 cookies?

    The 21 cookies guy has some rare cookies that people want. The 5700 cookie guy has too many cookies, they aren't valuable.

    Doge soars again after Elon Musk tweets. Will this madness ever stop?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 02:22 AM PST

    Four years ago, I bought my BFF’s 8 year old son 0.4 ETH as a birthday present. It cost me $100 Canadian (about $75 USD).

    Posted: 03 Feb 2021 01:12 PM PST

    My friend is a financial advisor directing clients to various mutual funds and whatnot, as is his wildly conservative father, and they thought it was a pretty dumb gift for an 8 year old. My friend, who explained what he does for a living to his kid, tried to explain what I had done as one would to an 8 year old. What a terrible "uncle" I am!

    Yesterday, I sent his kid the exact amount of fiat the purchase cost at the time (withdrew $100 worth of ETH) and a note that he has made and additional $575 CAD ($450 USD) on that $100 and we'll let it ride until his dad says stop. His dad is naturally pissed at the dilemma I've created, which is a extra sweet since pissing him off makes me just as happy as his elated sons reaction to "being rich". To be clear, I'm holding the kids ETH on a wallet until he is old enough to manage it himself.

    Told the little shit to hodl through high school and use it to help pay for college.

    Best "uncle" ever.

    Elon Musk has always been an inspiration to me, but if he could stop pushing Doge now that would be great. All he is doing is taking away from a lot of the hard work that has been accomplished in this space and taking the mockery out of it. Smh ...
