I said .70 cents so why did you say ICO?

I even posted the prices he bought and sold at and yet your math is still this bad? What an embarrassment.

Stop posting.

If he bought 22k worth lets figure that out;

$22,000 at .70/coin = 31,428 coins(plus some change)

31,428 coins x $12(selling price) = $377,136

That is not millions nor even 1 million.

I never once said I invested in Crypto (I haven't). Nowhere did I say that. I said my close friend did and I saw his portfolio and all of the ICO's he invested in, in late 2017. I gave you an example of one of them, which was Icon (ICX). He put in $22k at around .70 cents and sold around 12ish dollars. HE MADE MILLIONS in crypto, yes. Did I say ICX was the only investment he made? Of course not, I just gave you an example of one of the ones I remember. I gave you specific buy/sell numbers on that investment because that's the one I remember and the math is very simple on that one. My friend is a crypto millionaire. I am not.

If you'd like I'll ask him to send me screenshots of his portfolio and all of his buy/sells. Do you want to go there? Jesus man all I did was post an innocent comment on one investment in my friend's portfolio and you went all the way here by posting a 1st grade math lesson?

Thanks for the basic 1st grade math. ICX was one of his investments. Not the only one.

Don't sweat it, man. There are some on this thread who are very anti-crypto currency, and it really causes them to flip their lid when they see that some people have, in fact, done well on crypto. They are also generally the same people that take joy in seeing people lose money on crypto. Misery loves company, or some shit like that.

Well you only mentioned him buying ICX and making millions off of it, you didn't say he invested into anything else.....


BTW; pro-crypto here, been dollar cost averaging the whole drop.

Fair point. I realize I wasn't quite clear/specific enough. This was my first post in this thread. Did not realize the animosity going on here. I'm not anti or pro crypto myself. I'm pretty much indifferent about it.

[IllSic_Design]

Yeah there is a decent amount of animosity(or maybe jealousy) on here towards crypto... Maybe they are mad they didn't get in on the bull run and make good money like a lot did.

I wrote a long post about my experience then deleted it before posting yesterday...

I thought I'd chime in and say I'm very 'pro-crypto'. But I'm also very mad that I sold 400 bitcoin in 2012, then bought a a bunch of coins in early January 2018 (which I now hold).

People who held Bitcoin in 2017 were very lucky. People who sold this time last year were very smart.

I have higher hopes for 2019, but the conversation needs to shift back away from price, and away from 'coinX is better than coinY', and toward increasing adoption and ease of use; and learning from coinX's experience, and integrating the best features of coinX into coinY.

... until that happens, there's no fundamental reason why any coins should increase in value.

Totally agree, all about adoption and cryptos which actually have a use-case.

I couldn't agree more. XRP is a shining example of how this industry will disrupt others. They've got a great leadership team, a clear use-case and inherent advantages over their competition. If I were western union or SWIFT, I'd be worried.

The only reason I don't hold XRP is that there's no reason to store wealth in XRP - and thus there's no reason for the supply side of an intermediate currency to outstrip the demand side. (I'm not sure if I've said it here before; but if I simultaneously buy 1 million XRP with EUD and sell 1 million XRP with USD - in an efficient market, that has no effect on price).

.. If I could buy shares in Ripple; that'd be a different story.

... but let me tell you about XMR

How can anyone be anti-crypto when BTC will be at $333,000 in two years?

The moment that nonsense went up in price last year around this time; I told everyone to get out asap... hmmm.... not many listened.

Take your own advice.

Gotta wonder about a guy that is so against something that keeps posting in a topic about that very thing. Does it make your miserable life less miserable to do so?

[jimbobiggens]

I started mining Ethereum in Nov of last year. Yeah, I've stopped. It was good while it lasted. I don't think anybody knows where crypto is headed. I'd like to think it will recover - Nasdaq has announced they will start Bitcoin futures trading sometime in the first half '19, blockchain technology is generating a lot of attention in various sectors of society and I even saw an IBM commercial on TV the other day promoting blockchain.
Crypto is still in the beginning stages of it's life - if you look at crypto as automobiles, people are yelling "get a horse" at Bitcoin.

ignore the trolls, crypto is not for everyone, obviously

[F30dud]

While BTC is still up in the air i made so nice gains on alts, TRX

445-550 21%, off 1BTC.

have another order placed at 485 to buy back in.

[natedog7700]

Crypto has no intrinsic value, i wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft pole.

No wonder he’s salty over people making some easy money with crypto. The guy has a very unhealthy relationship with money:

Half my posts are just trolling to get a rise and it’s working. That thread was almost 10 years ago and I was depressed about money because everyone maxed out credit while I always paid for things in cash.

I’m over it now though, but thanks for checking in on it.

He was right though, I was trolling too hard. I’m deleting the immature posts and bowing out of the thread.
