October 15, 2013, 12:04:17 PM
I just watched that 155 wall get completely eaten by a market order, almost pushing through to 156....

bitcoin is shooting for the stars again?
Probably due to the Baidu news. Now on Coindesk: http://www.coindesk.com/chinese-internet-giant-baidu-starts-accepting-bitcoin/

Let us continue upwards.
Somebody still believes that we will revisit the $40-$70 area ever again?
I told my wife that we would never see <100 again, and Silkroad was busted 2 days later

Bitcoin represents like 97% of the market cap of all crypto. Therefore for most, you save time by approximating the others to be zero (and not buy them). It takes skill to effectively play the altcoins. Personally I don't want to invest my time for such a small payoff.
I bought over 500,000 ltc at an average price close to 1 cent. You might think my gain was small but i dont.
There is some kind of skill involved, which I don't have.
Investing 3% of my cryptostash to alts, would in my case most probably lead to same returns but diminished control. Even if it goes up 10 times relative to btc, it will just increase my total wealth to 0.03*10+0.97 = 1.27 (+27%). This is almost insignificant. So in a sense, I think your gain was small
I prefer to keep things simple. That is why I bought bitcoins only after the 2011 bubble, giving it ample time to turn out being a hoax. Granted I paid 10x more than some, but also made the groundwork for successful long-term holding.
27% of your overall investment is not insignificant no matter which way you look at it, especially when you would be risking only 3%.
There is currently no good reason why an altcoin would perform so well. Keeping track of all of them is also too time-consuming.
There is, but it's like gambling. It's all on the whim of Karpels from GOX.

i'm buying feathercoins

!!!!??!??!!!!??!?!??!!!!!Having a small amount in a few alts is not that bad. I hold a bit of xpm just cuz cpu coin. Like ltc is my gpu coin.
No interest in feathercoin for me however.

I was also able to triple the amount of BTC I was holding due to these alts. That's 100's of BTC profit for a simple buy and hold on a couple of currencies which were not 'obvious scams'.
The cheaper it is the more capacity it has to double up again and again and still be cheap.
