Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"

you shouldn't get emotionally attached to anything even Bitcoin, when ever you see a chance you jump in, this is why you jumped into bitcoin the first place, fanatics are the worst type....

Haha very true, don't anyone misunderstand my earlier post (edit : as gloating).
I might have got lucky catching this LTC train but those LTC were picked up with BTC bought back in Nov/Dec in the $800-$900 range.

I bought BTC high and have been trying to increase holdings ever since.
This will just help me slowly out of the red lol



HOW far into the red are you?   Truly, given all the low buy opportunities over the last three months, you must be below $800 average buy-in BTC price, no?

Well I bought first coins back in June but that was just a tester.

My big buy in started late November and I'd spent all I had budgeted by the first week in January.
Not the best timing in retrospect but there's no crystal ball for this and I'm in for the long term ride with a plan to take stock after 12/18 months.

However if I can lower my average cost in the mean time then that's all good (but not without risk).
Ideally I'd like to bring my buy in down to more like $600


Yes, I can relate to some degree. 

I have a fairly accurate Excel spreadsheet that allows me to keep track of various particulars regarding my BTC investment actions.

And, I have employed a couple of methods to attempt to bring down my average BTC buy-in price, which I am sure are similar to what you have attempted.. maybe with differing budget, timing (or luck).

One tactic has been to attempt to buy more BTC at a lower price (if we can figure that out), and then the other tactic is to trade... sell and then buy again lower (if we can figure that out).  I got burned a few times trying the trade method..  so I feel a bit more comfortable with the keep buying method.

In the end, we each buy within our budget, risk tolerance and prediction parameters and attempt to budget accordingly without panicking.

Whether rosie color glasses or NOT, I was thinking 1-2 years in BTC, too... unless there is some dramatic news that changes the fundamentals...Accordingly, in the end, within the coming months, BTC does seem to be have pretty good fundamentals and upside potential to get us into the black and to cause us to stay in the black... with a little cushion....

wtf kind of poll is that? If I believed this ship would sink I would not be on it, I don't so the poll is meaningless.

From the perspective of a super bear I guess that means my answer is "yes," but from my perspective it's like asking how long purple is.

I don't mean to get too personal with you, Richy_T, but I was wondering whether you and Chartbuddy have a special relationship? 

For example, will chartbuddy take your side in a political discussion?  or does chartbuddy do the opposite?  B/c if chartbuddy does the opposite, then you may want to try some reverse psychology with him/her?

Just hit $20 and the $850,000 wall has moved up to match.... wow

It was textbook...and now it's gone.

True but it's the most excitement there's been round here in weeks lol

It helps that I'm holding LTC and personally I'm waiting to see how things stand tomorrow.
Feels like today is a warm up

sell the news tomorrow?

Well since Huobi kick in with LTC trading tomorrow my reasoning is that there is the promise higher prices than $20
If not then I'm hoping/gambling that the 18$ and above should hold at least but I bought at $16.2 so looking safe.

Really I want to trade back to BTC so I'm hoping BTC stays put at $620 ish Cheesy
That's unlikely though lol



I think the key component of your statement is "that's unlikely though."     All these cryptos seem to be too connected and foggy  in the recent months.... accordingly, they do NOT really seem to be self-contained units... especially if one of the bigger ones gets public attention of some sort... and a somewhat ironic thing about this particular situation seems to be that LTC has a potential here, maybe only in the very short term of a few weeks, to drive upward various crypto prices.... I do NOT really buy zero sum game arguments, even though there may be some of that occurring, too (between some coins).

ok, could we re-name the thread into

"i´m exited about LTC and give a fuck about BTC since there may be more gains in LTC"

please ?



disclaimer: i missed the ltc train completly. now i know how those btc critics must feel when month after month they came to the conclusion btc is just a fad, but it actually wasn´t.
the first time i could have bought ltc was when price was just a few cents. but i didn´t, because i didn´t think ltc made much sense. i kept thinking that all the way up...  

looks like there are 2 options now: jump on the ltc train now or get fkn angry about this ltc sheit and troll around in the ltc forums.. Angry

fuck that

I BTC

invest into what you are passionate about, not what you think can make you a quick buck.


I will correct that for you, because it seems like you are doing it wrong.

work with what you are passionate about and invest where it seems possible making few bucks Wink


this I shared with you from my personnal experience, and BTW did I mention that I resigned my daily IT job in Goodyear just to work with Bitcoin/Litecoin, now you know Cheesy , I love working with Bitcoin, but I am not so emotionally attached to it, I always leave some room for improvements Wink

that is great, congrats. i wonder how many people here in the forum were already able to step out of the rat race.

its official LTC is bubbling up!

Do you have the pin?



A funny thing that is likely to develop will be that LTC will drive sufficient excitement in which BTC and various other cryptos will follow the excitement....   I am somewhat doubtful that we would get a significant rally in LTC without getting some collateral "damage" meaning upward impact upon BTC.

Although I have never bought any LTC (thought about it many times but it was never convenient to do so)  I am actually glad to see it go up even as a Bitcoin holder.  Why?  It is quite simple.  Litecoin is more volatile and there are less places to spend it.  People will eventually decide that it is a great price to sell Litecoin and then where will those gains go?  Much of it will go back to Bitcoin so it isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Also, now that all Big exchanges add LTC exclusively, maybe Bitstamp is the next one to add it, they are missing a big peace of the pie...wink wink...Wink
