13333691, If you're into buying stocks today is looking like a good one
Posted by Atillah Moor, Mon May-20-19 09:16 AM
Apple Google and Amazon are the ones I'm watching. When the US China trade dispute is settled they are likely to recover if not sooner would be my guess.

Anyone else watching?

13334182, for starters, bitcoin block halving or ‘halvening’
Posted by Crash Bandacoot, Wed May-22-19 09:47 AM
i'm not familiar with M1, but a lot people use cash app and robinhood
apps to buy bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. i mostly use
coinbase/pro but, will likely switch between gemini (for fiat on-ramp)

What is the Bitcoin Halving?

New bitcoins are issued by the Bitcoin network every 10 minutes. For the first four years of Bitcoin's existence, the amount of new bitcoins issued every 10 minutes was 50. Every four years, this number is cut in half. The day the amount halves is called a "halving".

In 2012, the amount of new bitcoins issued every 10 minutes dropped from 50 bitcoins to 25. In 2016, it dropped from 25 to 12.5. Now, in the 2020 halving, it will drop from 12.5 to 6.25.

What is the Significance of the Bitcoin Block Halving?

The halving decreases the amount of new bitcoins generated per block. This means the supply of new bitcoins is lower.

In normal markets, lower supply with steady demand usually leads to higher prices. Since the halving reduces the supply of new bitcoins, and demand usually remains steady, the halving has usually preceded some of Bitcoin's largest runs.

...

Bitcoin Halving Schedule

The Bitcoin halving is scheduled in block height, not date.

The halving happens every 210,000 blocks. The 2020 halving will happen on block 630,000. The 2024 halving will happen at block 840,000.

what are you watching? what spaces are you interested in?

I pulled back weekly small amount purchases a while back now that the shift card died and so now I'm just sitting on my positions half are on ice and the other half are active positions on exchanges.

anything on ice is for long term holding

the active stuff is for trading.

active:

bat, nano, hot, iota

without going into too much detail, here is my list...every single one
has real-world use case/major partnerships/can cause major disruption:
$btc $eth $ada $lnd $qash $ven $fxc

just recently added $fxc (flexa), they snuck that in at Consensus
a few days ago, trying to keep myself from fomoing in on that one,
the winklevoss twins (gemini exchange) are partnered.

13334193, you know I had no idea blockchain week came and went?

I was walking to the office and walked past the convention space and saw a NEM developer sitting outside with a sign saying he was ripped off and never paid his owed tokens for work performed and it all clicked...I should have known with the sight off all the finance bros walking about.


also, I'm kinda cold on crypto at this point. I believe in it but I'm turned off by the wild west aspect of it. I made lots of dough and I lost lots of dough but I don't consider it a loss since no value has been captured (yet). I'm tired of the infighting and the fomo and the endless proclamation of something being the one true stablecoin/token/currency/fork

yeah, I feel you...it can be tiring. i'm learning a lot and getting
(re)acclimated with economics/trading/business/new tech. there is a
lot to sift through and some projects are destined to make it. when
whole governments are backing a currency (other than the dollar), i
think it's serious.
13334187, Are you using coinbase? Also have you been following one belt one road?
Posted by Atillah Moor, Wed May-22-19 09:58 AM
I met this guy last year who was super into crypto and was really knowledgeable. He was farming and investing. Basically he was saying there is some kind of strong overlap between that initiative and crypto values
13334379, RE: Are you using coinbase? Also have you been following one belt one road?
Posted by Crash Bandacoot, Thu May-23-19 08:14 AM

13334382, FINRA approves Grayscale Ethereum Trust for retail
Posted by Crash Bandacoot, Thu May-23-19 08:46 AM
https://www.theblockcrypto.com/tiny/finra-approves-grayscale-ethereum-trust-for-retail/

May 23, 2019, 9:23AM EDT
Asset management firm Grayscale has secured approval from FINRA to list eligible shares of its Grayscale Ethereum Trust, making it the first publicly quoted security tied to the second-largest cryptocurrency, the firm said.

Grayscale manages 10 funds, most of which are only available to accredited investors. Now, the Ethereum Trust, similarly to Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust, will be able to trade freely as other securities in over-the-counter markets. Grayscale's product is not the same as an exchange-traded fund, which promises more liquidity, lower fees, and wider availability.

Still, Grayscale says it will help investors gain exposure to ether without the hassles of "buying, storing, and safekeeping Ethereum."
It will trade under the ticker ETHE in approximately two weeks.
In total, Grayscale manages $1.9 billion, according to a May 22 tweet by the firm.

As noted by The Block analyst Ryan Todd, Grayscale has seen more institutional investors pour money into its funds. Hedge funds, specifically, significantly increased their investments from less than $1 million in 4Q to close to $24 million in 1Q.

Meanwhile, the percentage mix of total quarterly inflows stemming from accredited investors softened from 7% trailing 12-months to 1% in 1Q, while family offices grew to 10% of total inflows.

The DCG subsidiary recently launched a mass marketing campaign calling for U.S. investors to ditch gold and to join the digital bitcoin movement.
