Title: CRYPTO JOURNEY
Post by: jonb on December 26, 2017, 09:14:24 pm
OK

So I have stood on the sidelines for a few years and as you would imagine in hindsight would want to kick myself. Every single Crypto success story has normally sent that warning bell ringing " If its to good to be true it normally is" I, however, am starting to think that we are in the midst of a financial revolution here and would like to slowly become part of this.

So step one:

Account opened on Luno

Account opened with Bitstamp

Account opened on Poloniex


Plan now is to get some Bitcoin on Lumo and shift some to Bitstamp for a split on the top Coins and then use Poloniex for some of the smaller Altcoins

Linked up with some pretty serious groups online for signal purposes and keen to just give it a bash

Sure a number of you all on here are already deeply involved or at the very least curious.

Is anybody keen to get a group going here to start the journey?

If you start the group on Discord, I'm in. I'm toying with some code to signal when a coin starts and stops surging in price to send me notifications on Discord...so yeah.

What is Discord? Signed up for so many exchanges and signal groups, not sure I can do one more!

It's a chat/collaboration app. Like a mix between Skype and Slack. Initially written for gamers bit it evolved and we actually use it at work these days.

I'm invested in the crypto mania that's doing the rounds but why not just carry on with the thread on here?

Started investing in Nov using an eToro account and currently I've bought Ethereum and Ripple as my strategy is to read up on how these cryptos will benefit the world going forward and they seem a much better alternative to Bitcoin which by all accounts the technology is said to be in a pre 2010 and is now a bit dated but what do I know I'm just a punter like the rest!

I have some close friends who have been on this for the past 5 years, this was there advice . Bitstamp for the major ones and Poloniex for the Alts

Was actually advised to have openings accounts on a whole lot more with reasoning behind each which I will publish here soon as I get a minute.

I have been charting BTC all morning and looks in my humble opinion to be heading into bearish territory, if so will Take that as an in

Happy thanksgiving keep the thread going here!

Hi jonb...you mentioned charting...are you trading or investing? Took a look today at Bitcoin. I'd say it actually looks like it's starting to recover.
