    Yea I understand that everything goes up and down what my question really was is why are you saying XRP will be huge?

    I see analysts talking about a price bounce back around $2.

    True I don't know exactly what drives the price of crypto other than people buying it. I understand the basics of it but what I don't get is why you speculate it will be so big. Apparently you know something I don't so I thought just maybe you could give me some actual valuable insight instead of just **** posting like eomrat.

    I suppose that an honest answer was too much to expect.

    Bro. Listen.

    Good job for getting XRP.

    HODL until it hits 4 digits. You heard me. Until 4 digits. And that's a conservative figure.

    Now, you made a mistake of listening to a goat farmer like me without doing your own due diligence. Never do that. I have already stated in many posts not to listen to me because I do not give financial advice.

    DOGEcoin was developed as a joke. People are FOMOing into it only because Elon Musk shilled it. Elon is deep state globalist.

    Remember: "Look here. Look here. Do not look over there." That is THEIR game plan.

    The quadrillion derivatives stuck in the current SWIFT system needs to be more liquid. Otherwise, it will freeze again. In fact, it froze in September 2019. It was no accident the rona virus was used as an excuse to shutdown the global economy in early 2020.

    XRP is the solution to the liquidity crisis. But in order for XRP to be effective, it must reach correct value. The 4-figure I mentioned earlier and I said it was 'conservative,' real market value is actually 5 digits. I did the math already. It was Asian math so it's reliable. This is why XRP will go past Binance, then go past Ethereum. 144 banks around the world are already using XRP in their private ledgers. More are joining. Hope you understand the significance of this.

    Don't compare XRP to DOGE. That's insulting. LMAO.


    Bitcoin and ethereum are already old archaic technologies. Harmony One is ETH 2.0. But don't just go buying Harmony it because a weird a$$ goat farmer mentioned it. Do your research.

    The most important cryptos are the ones with utilities. The new SEC chairman is pro crypto, but he is still a fascist authoritarian. He will regulate cryptos tighter than a size-1 G-string bikini on a 400-lb Jenny Craig dropout.

    Many cryptos, at least 90%, will drop off the face of space as a result.

    You bought an experimental currency because a guy on a Bodybuilding website did.
    You made an investment and the very next day you were asking if your investment was going to go up.
    You are asking for investment guidance from a total stranger on the internet and you admit that you don't know anything about the thing you invested in.

    My advice to you is exactly as valuable as the capital you "invested" yesterday, and when I say"invested" I mean "gave away".

    Yes. Exactly this ^^.

    I gave my response to him in an "Officer and Gentleman" fashion.

    What our friend sakustoms did was very much like a young 17-year-old signing up for 11 Bravo MOS without knowing what it is and then asking why he is being sent to jump school after OTUS infantry training at Fort Benning. hahaha..

    If anyone is interested, this is a good 10 min vid to watch.

    I dont day trade and I am not looking for quick hits in the crypto market. I have said many times that 95%+ of the alt coins are useless.

    If you want to spend 24/7 researching and THINKING you can day trade...go for it. But I have said many times that I am putting my money on the long term winner. And to me, there is only one.

    This guy is the CEO of micro strategy so I am guessing he might have a little insight into crypto.

    Again, I am not discouraging people from having fun. You can play with a few thousand here and there. I have owned many crypto. I had 75k XRP back in 2017 which I have no regrets turning into BTC.. I dont know many that have the balls to put SIGNIFIGANT positions into the HIGHLY manipulated Alt coin markets.

    The problem with crypto, is every guy who puts in $100 bucks is in there talking about his 10x gains. Maybe I am chicken sh!t, but I learned a while back that I did not have the guts to make position moves of 5 and 6 figures of stuff that is so volatile.

    So I would separate the market of people 'playing around' and those that are really investing in crypto. Unfortunately the most vocal people really are the least tied in.

    So my chicken sh!t views of crypto come from a perspective of following this market since 2013. I have 'real' skin in the game and at this point say the only thing worth my time is BTC. (with about 3% in ETH just for the heck of it)

    Listen to this interview with a guy who has almost 5 BILLION in crypto.

    I typed up a giant response to you and somehow it got lost. lol

    Overall, thank you..... I know to do my own due diligence and not just buy based off some stranger on the internet. I just basically didn't know the basis behind your statements and was wondering. So, I thought I'd ask.

    I was not comparing doge to xrp I was simply stating that doge was making me money so thankfully I was ok.

    I also didn't realize there were so many banks using xrp already. I know there were some but not nearly as many as there are.

    Again, thank you for the straight answer. It is MUCH appreciated. I am pretty much a newb on this whole crypto thing and appreciate any and all help.

    Dude....you have swallowed the crypto pill a little too much. Watch the vid I posted.

    Most crypto is JUNK and will be worth nothing. If you want to play casino, great...but dont act like betting a few hundred dollars is life changing.

    Even with 10x and 100x gains, you have to be confident to put significant sums in. BTC is the only thing I feel comfortable. And to even compare BTC to ETH is just stupid. They could not be any more different. ETH is really more a tech and a platform for said tech. It MIGHT have value but time will tell.

    People gamble in all sorts of ways and I support your right to do that. But I would never give people the advice you are handing out and tell them to invest 10k or 100k or more. WAY too risky.

    Is BTC risky....hell yea! But it is very different than every other crypto for MANY reasons. Watch vid and learn from a guy with 5billion in the game. You are being distracted by trying to hit moon shots. Have your fun, but the long term is BTC. And yes, it could be worth nothing also. But if BTC is worth nothing so will EVERYTHING and the govts of the world will probably control everything. But barring that BTC will always lead and 95% of the garbage that is out there will be long gone with the people who manipulated the markets laughing all the way.

    Listen to this interview with a guy who has almost 5 BILLION in crypto.

    And as I have stated many times, bitcoin will continue to go up. It will hit 72K this month.

    it will hit 100K.

    it will hit a million.

    It will hit tens of millions.

    Why? Because of the endless printing courtesy of the federal reserve. The value of bitcoin is nothing but a reflection of the true state of the dead dollar. Bitcoin and the alt coins will never be money because they do not fit and meet the definition of money. Only gold and silver are money.

    I only have some BTC, but it's not for me. I already missed the boat on this and I am okay with that.

    I want BTC to succeed because it will pull the altcoins upward as well.

    But here are some things to consider:

    a) Whether or not you believe in global warming (I personally do NOT), the narrative has already been established. The oligarchs have already said they will not use bitcoin for the following reasons:

    i) It is dirty (emits lots of carbon)
    b) It is expensive to transact
    c) It is slow

    I cannot attest for the carbon emission, but I know for a fact based on experience that it is slow and expensive.

    b) 65% of bitcoin is being mined in China. The Chinese own bitcoin. So you cannot claim bitcoin is NOT manipulated like the alt coins.

    c) Who developed bitcoin? It was not a Japanese guy by the name of Satoshi. That's for sure. At least we know who developed the alt coins.

    You earned your wealth as a businessman. Good for you. You were already wealthy when you got into crypto. Good for you. But for the rest of us, we are in the middle class who continue to work hard (as you worked hard). So implying that we don't have skin in the game just because we did not have a lambo to sell to in order to buy whole bitcoins is an elitist attitude.

    I am a free market capitalist. I don't care about the left's definition of 'equality' or 'equity.' Even if I don't have 7-figure assets (not yet anyway) I have no problem competing. Because that is what true capitalists do.

    I want to see you make more money with your bitcoin. But don't be a maximalist.

    Michael Saylor may be a billionaire, but there are also other billionaires and millionaires who would disagree with Saylor. Listen to shark tank Kevin Oleary. Listen to Peter Schiff.

    Always remember "Look here. Look here. Do not look over there."

    Keep profiting until it's time to take profit.
    This above all..
    To thine ownself be true..
    And it must follow, as the night the day..
    Thou can'st not then be false to any man..

    Overall, thank you..... I know to do my own due diligence and not just buy based off some stranger on the internet. I just basically didn't know the basis behind your statements and was wondering. So, I thought I'd ask.

    I was not comparing doge to xrp I was simply stating that doge was making me money so thankfully I was ok.

    I also didn't realize there were so many banks using xrp already. I know there were some but not nearly as many as there are.

    Again, thank you for the straight answer. It is MUCH appreciated. I am pretty much a newb on this whole crypto thing and appreciate any and all help.
    You are very welcome. Glad to be able to help.

    And always remember, once you are wealthy, pay it forward by helping others. Living a full life is not always about material possessions.
    This above all..

    I dont consider myself 'wealthy' by any means. You are I are probably a lot more alike that you think. I am a college dropout who moved south when I was 22 years old will all my belongings in garbage bags and milk crates in the back of a 15 year old ford ranger pickup truck.

    I still live very much the same way I always have. I understand the 'value' of things. I wont rant too much, but I know what is important in life and MOAR is not part of the equation.

    BUT....I think that real everyday people can make life changing moves in BTC >>>>if the future holds to be true. AND the risk is not as much as one might think.

    Looking at the numbers, if every american who is currently a millionaire, wanted to have a full BTC...that is not possible. I have seen the calcs that if BTC does receive wide adoption as a store of wealth in the next 5-10 years that as little as .1BTC will put you in the TOP 1% of wealth holder.

    So that is telling people to take a 5-6 k gamble and just sit and see what happens.

    I respect the hustle and the fun of trading and following the markets is cool. But I am trying to help share with people the real possibilities of life changing decisions that they can make. BTC ship has NOT sailed. It is not even close at this point (assuming it survives)

    So I am sharing what I believe to be the best advice. If you want crypto, buy BTC using dollar cost averaging at levels you can afford to lose. As little as a 5-6 k investment may be life changing 5-10 years down the road.

    Good luck man!

    On an aside....people thing the big news in crypto was the Coinbase listing. BUT...really the HUGE news is the confirmation of Gary Gensler as SEC chair.

    There care few things that will have as large an impact on crypto as uncertainty. Just like the Yellen comment about nefarious use of BTC caused a huge dump. Well for those that dont know Gensler he actually has taught Crypto and blockchain at MIT. He also has strong banking ties. Now some may look at that as a bad thing, but for crypto to REALLY take off, it needs to be integrated into banking systems where large brick and mortars can offer their clients access to crypto etc. So this guy has walked both sides of the fence and in the end (we hope) will take a pragmatic and educated approach to BTC and all crypto.

    This is really HUGE and not many people taking about it. This will put to rest GREAT uncertainty that people talk about every day. The govt banning crypto...etc. So you have a guy who really understands it, and also understands the players in the banking industry. I see the possibility or mainstream crypto much more likely given the confirmation of a guy who actually understands it. Compared to the former SEC chair who launched suit against XRP...etc. Maybe even BTC etf's will be getting here sooner than we think. Will be an interesting year for sure!

    My biggest worries about BTC besides having no extrinsic value has been governments coming down on it via regulation. Believe me I wish I had gotten in but this would still always be on my mind.

    Truth be told I've been chasing some crap the last 3 months and have to lick my wounds. Watching BTC and even DOGE run like this has me wishing I had just messed w/ it some.

    Dont get pulled in by Doge. It is a meme. There are zero plans for it, zero utility. It was started as a joke, and still is. Of course it can spike and if you time it you can make a hit, but it is not something I would even consider.

    SRS, watch the vid in the above post
    https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showt...post1636262373

    BTC is the long term bet. And as I mentioned, but some long term calcs, at adoption .1btc will have you in the top 1% of wealth holders.

    BTC's ship has not sailed by any means. The theoretical peak for this post halving is 300k or more. Then we have the next one coming with 1,000,000 btc probably (if it is not killed off)

    To me this is the gamble to make. You dont have to go nuts with it. Just a simple DCA and time.

    Watch vid and see what you think.... Good luck man.

    Again...this could all be worth nothing also. That is why the approval by the senate of Gensler is pretty big. I dont think you could ask for a better person yielding that much power over crypto. Time will tell.

    Even with 10x and 100x gains, you have to be confident to put significant sums in. BTC is the only thing I feel comfortable. And to even compare BTC to ETH is just stupid. They could not be any more different. ETH is really more a tech and a platform for said tech. It MIGHT have value but time will tell.

    People gamble in all sorts of ways and I support your right to do that. But I would never give people the advice you are handing out and tell them to invest 10k or 100k or more. WAY too risky.

    Is BTC risky....hell yea! But it is very different than every other crypto for MANY reasons. Watch vid and learn from a guy with 5billion in the game. You are being distracted by trying to hit moon shots. Have your fun, but the long term is BTC. And yes, it could be worth nothing also. But if BTC is worth nothing so will EVERYTHING and the govts of the world will probably control everything. But barring that BTC will always lead and 95% of the garbage that is out there will be long gone with the people who manipulated the markets laughing all the way.

    Do yourself a favor and read your post above from the standpoint of NOT you, but someone else reading it. Then tell me what you think.

    I came into the crypto space just a few months ago, thanks largely to this post who encouraged me.

    I have known about the oligarchs game for years, but it was time to play in their arena.

    To date, I have only invested $3800.

    That $3800 is now digitally worth over 8K, PLUS the 30 American Silver Eagles and the 1 kilogram silver bars I bought when I converted my bitcoin and ethereum profits into the shiny. According to APMEX, those silver pieces now have a value of $2200 (from a 2K crypto profit).

    So $3800 is now worth over 10K. With only a few months of digital experience but who is smart enough to know the game.

    10K to you is pocket change. I get it.

    So now I will tell you what I think of your post.

    It was presumptuous of you to imply that my feedback is worthless.

    I came here to learn from the experienced traders. I also came here to share what I am doing and hopefully others can learn.

    Perhaps I assumed wrongly that this thread was about helping each other out.

    I never said anything negative about bitcoin or ethereum. I profited from both and turned them into silver.

    I have always said that I do not trust ALL cryptos, but I am willing to take chances.

    I did not come here with my initial $3800 investment to "act like a few hundred dollars is life changing."

    The $3800 was something I worked for. The profit, as little as it may be to your standards, is life changing.

    I wonder how many professional financial advisors with years of experience can say to someone "Give me $3800 and I will turn it into over 10K."

    Not bad for a simple goat farmer. This is just the beginning.

    Funny you wrote this because I agree 10000%.

    Now you know why I invested heavily in XRP.

    I knew ahead of time Gary was going to be SEC chair. I knew ahead of time he was pro crypto. And I know for a fact he has already chosen XRP to be the bridge currency. And I also know when he said "investment protection" he is not talking about retail investor pee ons. He is looking to protect his banker friends. So yes, your precious bitcoin may be in danger.

    I taught myself how to read charts and graphs. I learned about Fibonnaci retracement, RSI, support, resistance, shoulder head formation, cup and handle, etc.. Oh I also learned about Elliot waves and how it ties to emotional investing.

    Ethereum will hit 10K this year. I stand by my call of bitcoin hitting 72K this month.

    There are other things to consider:

    a. ALL cryptos can be manipulated. Very few are aware that the fed can pump tether, and tether in turn can pump bitcoin.

    b. The great reset will be here before we know it.

    c. A second Bretton Woods has already been written. It's just a matter of when the oligarchs will implement it.

    d. We are heading towards a two-tier society. So make your profit and get out. It doesn't matter where the profit comes from. All this my crypto penis is longer than your crypto penis is noise and distractions.

    So I got caught up in some "meme" type stocks thinking I was smarter than the average bear. The market has a great way to smack you around when you do this and It has me. Going to have to figure out how to unwind my positions w/o a huge loss.

    I think we can all agree the market is revving real fast. A correction is inevitable but when? Hell, I think SPY hits 420 by 4/20 which if one said this 2 weeks ago there would be no chance in hell. Crazy times my friends.

    First time I got in a project (with my group) that turned out to be a "rug pull" scam. Luckily I got my initial out the minute it listed as always try and do. But people that get emotionally involved (in a tribe-like manner) and convince themselves in an echo chamber of like minded that it's the next big thing tend to get rekt as they are certain that holding 100% will naturally net them 1000X and taking some profits early is a sign you are "weak" or not loyal in a weird way. Interesting is how few actually learn from past similar situations and also stick to a position size they can afford to lose, and when **** happens turn to throw blame around on all kinds of things and other people. I have yet to hear from someone: " my fault, I took a risk and blew it."

    About 4 minutes in..I try to keep this in mind.

    On my current positions - my fault, I took a risk and blew it

    Good vid and good reminder. He also made a good point to remember "losses are part of the game". Sounds so easy but its a tough pill to swallow. If you can remove emotions it gets easier to accept the losses.

    I admit I bought into the GME hype. I made some money on it then lost more money on it. Easy come easy go.

    I also own DOGE, XRP and a teeny tiny bit of Bitcoin. So far I am way up on doge, even on XRP and down a little on BTC. I know there's a good chance I will never get rich off any of this stuff and I'm ok with that. I'm just looking to make some money along the way.


    NG - I took your advice and paid some forward.

    Good for you. Doge is just stupid. I would sell and take the insane gains. It follows no logic and the underlying tech does not support the prices. Make your hit while you can.

    The entire cyrpto market is down. Most say as a result of Turkey banning crypto as of April 30 amid thier currency crisis. They topped 16% inflation last week and fears are other struggling countries may follow suit. India may be following.


    So the entire crypto maket is down....and DOGE is up 140%

    Hope you do well and BIG profits to be made, but dont know how anyone could predict what and when to do it!

    Thanks. I took $800 dollars profit off the top of Doge yesterday. In hindsight if I wouldn't have sold till now I would have made an additional $1900. but then again I could have lost it all so I am ok with what I took.

    I have no idea what is going on with DOGE but I'll let it ride for now. All my DOGE was bought with profits so I have literally nothing to lose.

    Dont have any regrets with taking a profit! I dont think ANYONE can predict what is going on with it, and NO ONE can predict it. To illustrate how crazy it is, it is going up 14x while the entire sector is dropping 3-5%.

    I had considered putting a little fun money in DOGE and selling when it spiked again. Looks like it is doing that now. Feel good about being on the up!

    Yea I am definitely glad to be riding the upswing. My son asked me yesterday if it was too late to invest in doge and I said I didn't think so. He bought just $150 worth and is up around $200 in profit already today.

    I realize there is a huge bubble which will eventually pop but I am going to stay in as long as I feel comfortable doing so and then cash it all out. Profit is profit.

    Absolutely!! It's the criminal oligarchs who control the markets (stocks, bonds, fiat, gold, silver, cryptos, etc) versus us who are crazy enough to play against the casino.

    Nothing wrong with having some fun with cryptos designed to be a joke, as long as one understands the risks. My brother-in-law and daughter pulled profit from doge before it dropped. When it dropped I actually encouraged them to buy the dip. lol. Doge has no utility. The new SEC chairman will use doge as an excuse to usher in regulations. Christine Laguard (IMF banker), Janet Yellen (former fed chairman and now heads treasury), Gary Gensler (SEC chair) have been talking about regulations this and regulations that, saying they don't want cryptos to be used in money laundering and other criminal activities.

    Of course, the fiat dollar is the number one tool used by criminals to launder money and trade drugs. Gubmint and bankers won't tell you that because they hate competition.

    At any rate, we all know what happened on Saturday night when all cryptos tanked. Some say it was due to power outage in a province in China which caused BTC to drop 14%, dragging down the others. Some say it's because investors are afraid of the US Treasury wanting to regulate cryptos.
    This above all..
    To thine ownself be true..
    And it must follow, as the night the day..
    Thou can'st not then be false to any man..

    What broker(s) do you guys buy cryptos through? Sticking with Robinhood?
