Anyone jump on the latest pump? If not will you buying in the future or do you have other coins your more interested in?

Personally I caught a decent ride on litecoin and made a few bob using revolut, nothing outrageous but not bad for clicking a few buttons and little else

Got into btc a while ago and have a few tucked away - looks like there will be another pump like 2017 - could hit 250k easily over the next year.

I've had other ones before. Litecoin etc

They can be good , if you sell at a decent rate. They're just so unreliable is all and fluctuate more than any other currency. I believe they'll drop again when this pandemic ends

Not sure price discovery will hit 250k this year but I'd be confident with it hitting 100k

I hold a few different coins.

Going by the stock to flow models it looks like BTC will reach new highs by Christmas, 40/50k by April / May and 150k ish by June 2022. Lots of institutional investors starting to get on board now and the larger financial institutions are reversing their original position regarding BTC and also investing in it.

When you see negative rates and inflation eroding your cash people will look elsewhere to invest.

Alt coins..... I think most aren't worth looking at but have looked into Blockchain Seeding ventures.

Do you think it will drop again? I learned a lot from it this time around. Sold at wrong time. Got investment back and bit more but I would wait for next drop. Its always up and down.

Agreed Flithy, I think BTC is obviously the dominant coin with the others trying to match its rise.

A lot of the ICO and Alts seem to be "scams". Year to date BTC +150%, Nassau +33% & Gold 24%

Yeah it will pump and fall like everything, I do think the drops won't be as large as previously. It has stayed over 10k for the past few months which is the longest period since its inception.

It was $18.2k for a brief period today

It's not something to bet the house on, but the risk vs reward is very asymmetrical.

Someone mentioned stock to flow - by that metric it will become the world's most scarce asset by 2024 and that model has the price at half a million dollars by the end of 2021.

It's definitely worth a cheeky few grand on if you have it

Bitcoin was worth 20k in 2017, 4k in March this year, and is worth nearly 15k now. Up and down like a fabbers knickers. Its now at he highest it's been in ages. When the man on the internet sex site starts talking about it... then it's probably too late.

It's more volatile than the stock market because the market cap is so low. It's going up though. As for it being too late - that same prediction has been made every bitcoin cycle and it's been wrong every bitcoin cycle. Wait until next year, there are going to be a lot of newly minted millionaires in all likelihood.

Bitcoin is great for buying crypto & Stock, but I think after Dec 31st you account may not be valid due to some Brexit rule. I would use Trading 212 instead at this point in the year.

Also, Chinese electric vehicles are where I'd put my money right now rather than BTC. Extremly fast growing market, I bought in at $7 during the summer, and price is $45 now.

Been reading these posts again and it is interesting.

Bitcoin as n investment doesn't entice me enough. But the story is interesting all the same.

The creater is believed be named Satoshi Nakamoto. That's a pseudonym but still is how he's usually referenced. Nobody knows the motivation as to why he made it, who he really is and how much he has.

Some says he's a genius carrying out a social experiment, others say he's a pioneer of internet freedom, and others say it was created by the CIA.

Truth is nobody knows and it's so interesting. Whether it succeeds or not it is revolutionary.

Doubt it if you are thinking of holding for a year or more. Electric vehicles are in their infancy, but 100% will take over in a few years. I think it's the same as investing in computers when only the rich could afford them. Within a few years they would be in every home on the planet.

Obviously no one knows the future prices, I do think by 31st Dec BTC will have high new all time highs (+$20k).

Earlier today BTC market cap was $336 Billion, still only a fraction of gold's market cap.

Without going into depth here regarding security, markets, pro's and con's, you can buy on numerous exchanges and hold privately (best option).

You don't have to buy a complete BTC, it is made up of 100m smaller denominations. So when you see $17k BTC it puts people off. IMO what you will see shortly in Europe is the option to cost average into this market on a regular basis.

I look at my bank account and IMO leaving significant deposits sitting there is the worst option. Banks offer terrible rates and inflation surpasses what you get.

It's a topic I'm super interested in and have a position in. If anyone would like to discuss just reach out.

Been a longtime supporter of bitcoin, bought and sold a good bit over the years. Won some, lost some. I think its gonna hit all time highs over the next few months. I genuinely believe that. Will it crash again? Certainly. But if your clever and time it right there is an opportunity to make money for sure.

No one has mentioned that it is a growth asset, like gold it doesn't pay a dividend. You are not investors, merely speculators. Someone contrasted it as an alternative to holding cash. Another issue is CGT. When you "tuck away" your profit are you declaring it?

Quite an interesting read here, I didn’t expect to find so many people interested in investing and the crypto space in particular.

My own two cents is that I think BTC will take a small dip and consolidate before going for ATH but if you’re planning on holding for the long term you’re better off just buying it and HODLing.

As for other crypto currencies I am interested in that look like they could be good next year are VET, ETN and XRP.

"Quite an interesting read here, I didn’t expect to find so many people interested in investing and the crypto space in particular.

My own two cents is that I think BTC will take a small dip and consolidate before going for ATH but if you’re planning on holding for the long term you’re better off just buying it and HODLing.

As for other crypto currencies I am interested in that look like they could be good next year are VET, ETN and XRP. "

Last night I put 250 into VET let's hope it takes off I'll leave it and let it sit for a year see how it goes.

If you look at how governments and large banks / corporations are buying up all the Bitcoin

Right now it gives you an idea of the future of currency

All the top banks said bitcoin was rubbish , and not to buy. Now each of them are chasing hard to get in. This why you hear scare stories as they don’t want the poor to realise all Fiat currencies are shit.

I’m super confident it will continue to rise through the year. My target is too start reducing in Sep, as this should be the start of the current bull cycle ending.

Even the last few days I’ve been buying daily and looking at price today I’m glad I did

The best way to start investing in crypto is using the Visa card, and you get free cash back in crypto. You even get €20 free if you register with a referral.

"Bitcoin was worth 20k in 2017, 4k in March this year, and is worth nearly 15k now. Up and down like a fabbers knickers. Its now at he highest it's been in ages. When the man on the internet sex site starts talking about it... then it's probably too late."

Investing in cryptocurrency is glorified gambling at this point. It’s an unregulated market that can change within minutes. For example look at dogecoin... Elon musk could tweet tomorrow saying it will replace BTC and watch the price of doge sky rocket. Likewise the same can be said for other cryptocurrencies, the market is open to so much manipulation and is extremely volatile. Anything that is open to manipulation will be manipulated

Far safer investments out there in my opinion but each their own and all the best to anyone who is holding crypto

May not have been bitcoin but i do have a success story. Bought a crypto in ICO trying to reestablish itself after some koreans got there hands on it. Hopped on at 3.00 euro peer token with 107 in total. Individual token value currently at 115.14 so looks like college is paid for

It's a nice profit if I sold but the weird thing is that I've bonded with my nephew over this and he made me promise at the beginning not to sell until it hits at least a dollar, today or 2030 lol

Supp yall crypto folk! Having recently listened to a v good podcast about the potential of cryto currency and having a significant portion of funds put by

Would anyone here think it a good punt to but say 1000 euro into any of the current coins/platforms

Again if it was to flop its not the end of the world but I have money sitting in a bank doing nowt. The possibility of any type of ROI is intriguing

Yes a bull run. Anyone who has followed bitcoin since it started would understand the cycles and corrections. The last four year cycle was the same with the 30 odd percent corrections before it flew up and hit all time high over 20000. Which is why i said to the lad above to research and understand how different cryptocurrencies work as it is different to forex

Well agree to disagree. If you went back over all bitcoin charts over the last few years and seen the percentage corrections you will plainly see the corrections have been well over 10%. Im not going to argue with regard to what run its on. I have my opinion with regard to it. You have yours.

The problem with the term "correction" as I understand is that its suggesting that something is undervalued or overvalued. Bitcoin literally has zero value in itself and is just valued at what someone is willing to pay for it. Its not like a share where a company is doing better or worse than expected and therefore needs correcting. There is no underlying value. That mean its not a correction. It could just be a downwards trend. Past performance is not any kind of guarantee of future performance.

These are not opinions. These are facts. You need to look up these terms if your going to be quoting them. A bull market is when the price of a commodity is increasing by a large % of a short period of time. Is the price of bitcoin increasing by a large percentage over a short period of time. No. So its not on a bull run.

Past performance is not any guarantee of future performance with anystock or currency. This is what happened in the crash of 08. The past cannot predict the future of any underlying asset.

True but if you invest in a share then you have the performance of the company to go on, and the expectations and forecasts going forward. With bitcoin there is no real world basis for the price. There is no underlying real world value to be had in the thing you own. That makes the idea of a correction nonsense. The price is never wrong. There are just trends upwards and downwards, and that has been notoriously difficult to predict.

Nick leeson. Enron. Bernie Madof or Dolphin trust.

Dolphin trsut are in the news this week as Irish investors invested over 100 million in something the has no value. And these assets were sold by financial advisors.

Any thoughts on the potential positives and negatives are all welcome

Think of ot as a hobby rather than investments. I used to spend all my free time on the fab forums now I spend most of it watching the value of coins rise and fall by the hour lol

Yeah I'm looking at it as something that could be good to try without thinking I'm going to be the next Gordon Gekko! Any good sites or platforms you go off for keeping an eye on things? Could be fun

Bitstamp or coinbase for cryptocurrency. I would suggest doing a bit of research before you just put money into anything. Take a bit of time to understand how the market works. Bitcoin still has some way to go yet before it reaches its top of this bull run

Thanks for the info. And I'm going to go in deep before I put anything into it! A lot of concepts and things to be understood first. Right where is that crypto for dummies book I had lying around "

Split your risk. Put half in crypto and half in stocks. Reduce risk. Aim for a return. Learn about fees.

I'll never understand it to be honest

I read today about a warehouse in the uk where they bypassed the electrical meter and hooked up a load of computers to mine bitcoin via complex mathematical equations...how and why ..way over my head

I understand stocks and shares and If I buy something for €1000 and sell it for more than that I make money

Thats it...good luck to anyone doing it and earning a few quid

Value is all relative. Just because you say something has no value. Doesn't mean its true. If I sell a call for a million euro to someone. That's the value of the car. Value is what someone is willing to pay for something. Graphes, numbers and past performance can not account for human emotion.

Bill run?? Is it not down 50 % this month?

Yes a bull run. Anyone who has followed bitcoin since it started would understand the cycles and corrections. The last four year cycle was the same with the 30 odd percent corrections before it flew up and hit all time high over 20000. Which is why i said to the lad above to research and understand how different cryptocurrencies work as it is different to forex"

You have no idea what you are taking about , calling 30% loss is value in a single month a bull run is the most stupid thing I’ve heard in this site for a while

Doesn't matter what the asset is. I could sell fresh air for 100 euro. If someone pays 100 euro. That's the value of it.

All investments are risky. Bitcoin is no different to apple shares or bank shares. There is chance you'll lose all your money and chance you'll gain money.

A very large part of Apple stock price is speculation - it's priced way higher than realistic future profits or dividends, you're essentially betting on price in the future being even higher.

But really, it doesn't matter if you're into crypto or not - I'm strongly suspecting not plenty of people are making massive amounts of money right now. Bitcoin will crash again, it will moon again, but over a long timeline crypto is disrupting traditional finance - you can either get in or don't. But as can be seen from historical data, crypto market value in the medium and long term is always up.

And in case you don't realize, the value of Bitcoin is the value of the technology to create real decentralized money.

It gives stability. They aren't going anywhere soon. They can grow through making acquisitions. They can pay dividends. They can invest in real assets like chip fabrication plants. They can do r&d. All these things are owned by shareholders and give real value. Yes we can argue the toss about I'd a company is overvalued or undervalued.. BUT crucially. There is real life value. Youre buying part of all that when you buy a share.

Companies go bust all the time.

If the concern is that a particular crypto may disappear, then don't invest in just one. If the concern is that it will all disappear, then don't invest at all.

And definitely don't invest what you can't lose, or invest with leverage, but then again that goes for stocks too.

And what about all the debt apple has? Is it still over 100 billion?? Do the shareholders own that??

Also just because it has all of what you named doesn't mean it's any less likely to fall to zero. Did Anglo Irish not have all these before they went bust? Did Enron not have the same? Did Debenhams not have the same.

Also excess cash does not give stability, it increases the cost of raising capital. Also would they not be best servrd paying off their debt with all that cash?

The dollar or the euro has less intrinsic value. They are slowly going to zero. Bitcoin is digital gold, the best performing asset in the last 10 years.

I would be inclined to agree with you. From all I can see all those “coins” are nothing but fried air in a fancy wrapper. Blah blah blah blockchain blah blah blah, it has no national bank backer, it’s completely unregulated and as far as I can see it hasn’t got legal tender status anywhere. In a way it’s a bit like giving Monopoly money a serial number and me agreeing with you that one of those monopoly banknotes is now worth €5k.

These coins are regulated in the US by the Sec and the US treasury.

That's literally how money was created. People agreed that pieces of paper and metal coins were worth a set value.

Also to your point you do know that euros are only legal tender in the EU and the GBP is only legal tender in the UK?

Also by saying blah blah blah it just shows you haven't got a clue what your talking about.

Yes smaller currencies have crashed before. Its called hyper inflation.

Wages are begining to be worthless. Cost of living in Ireland has never been higher and wages have not changed to any real degree in the last 3 decades.

I didn't mention inflation in Ireland. I was talking about the cost of living in Ireland. Would you not agree that has increased considerably in the last 2 decades where as wages haven't. Thus so many people are now fighting for a living wage, can't afford to buy a house or have a decent standard of living. Due to wages almost becoming worthless as the cost of living is so high.

You asked would smaller currencies crash and I answered yes they have. Due to hyperinflation. In Argentina in the 80s they to had to bring in a new peso (a new currency) for stability. Same happened in Zimbabwe with the dollar. People use to have to carry a rubbish bag full of cash notes just to buy a news paper.

You figure of. 86% I'd from 2019.

Slowly going to zero, because every year you get less for your euro. Some companies have already started converting their spare cash to bitcoin to protect its value. It’s just a few now, but it will become the norm eventually.

Currency is backed by nothing, only faith in the system. And governments are printing money like crazy. So it’s pretty obvious that it’s slowly going to zero.

Climate change discussion is just a distraction. Do people think that their bank runs on no energy? Or even where all the minerals for electric car batteries come from? Bitcoin mining is only a drop in the ocean.

Everything is moving to renewables anyway.

Hang on, Argentina after Videla and the drubbing handed by the Brits in the Falklands War, Zimbabwe after decades of Mugabe corruption and cleptocracy. Why don’t you mention the Reichsmark in May 1945 as well.

I fully realise that the Euro and the Pound are only legal tender in the EU and the UK but the EU and the UK are hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland, Volkswagen, Renault, Alstom, Siemens, EDF, Diageo, Kerry Group, SNCF, dozens of airports, the ports of Rotterdam, Bremen, Hamburg, Glasgow, Antwerp...., hundreds of millions of people, schools, universities, hospitals. All very real and tangible.

Crypto currencies are a handful of people with a handful of powerful computers essentially creating a bit of intangible data and convincing each other that bit of data is worth something.

I know it’s not that simple but if someone decides to flick the switch it’s gone. The real economy on the other hand is a bit more resilient to say the least.

There’s no switch to turn off bitcoin. It’s impossible to stop it. If you look into it, it’s very impressive, and when you get it, you get it.

Climate change discussion is just a distraction. Do people think that their bank runs on no energy? Or even where all the minerals for electric car batteries come from? Bitcoin mining is only a drop in the ocean.

Everything is moving to renewables anyway.

That’s correct, but with Bitcoin you have to get about 6 verification before your transaction is done! With banks why you think to transfer money takes so long? Because the banks are trading your money, that’s why I said xrp solve real life problems with have IE swift xrp transaction Is done in 25-30 secs

Not in great detail but feel free to reach out.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is basically a computer file which is stored in a 'digital wallet' app on a smartphone or computer. There can only ever be 21 million Bitcoin mined (Bitcoin mining is a completely different topic) You can send Bitcoins (or part of one ... a sat) to your digital wallet, and you can send Bitcoins to other people. Each single transaction is recorded in a public list called the blockchain.

IMO depending where in the world you are people view it as a store of value (Digital Gold), investment or currency which governments can't get their hands on (Think Venezuela, Peru, etc, etc)

How do you buy it?

Lots of ways to buy it, Crypto Exchanges traditional but since Q3 2020 & 2021 lots of companies putting it in balance sheet so an option to buy stock in that company (TESLA / Microstrategy

- main examples) More Credit Card / Finance Companies & Banks getting on board daily.

What is it worth?

Currently 1 BTC = €30,000. Very volatile to trade.

What can you buy with Bitcoin?

Anything you want if you find a person that accepts Bitcoin as payment.

If you want to get into Bitcoin, read up on it or listen to Podcasts. I'd recommend The Investors Podcast with Preston Pesh, the Wednesday episodes that are Bitcoin only. Start with the first one and it'll bring right down the rabbit hole.

It's only the start for Bitcoin IMO

BTW... Bitcoin at €30,000 this is for a full coin (1 of 21,000,000). Like Euro, Dollars it's divisible into smaller denominations (sats) so you can purchase as much / little as you want. This is one of the misconceptions regarding it, people hear its such a price and think they can't afford it or that they've missed the boat so to speak.

"Thats bonkers. You are predicting the US dollar and the euro will collapse to zero? Are you serious?

Slowly going to zero, because every year you get less for your euro. Some companies have already started converting their spare cash to bitcoin to protect its value. It’s just a few now, but it will become the norm eventually.

Currency is backed by nothing, only faith in the system. And governments are printing money like crazy. So it’s pretty obvious that it’s slowly going to zero."

So because inflation exists therfore bitcoin. Makes sense. Great logic right there.

Some companies have converted some cash to bitcoin in what has been regarded by many as a dangerous and risky move. Teslas 1.5bn bitcoin investment has swung wildly from profit to loss. It has not been popular with investors. Its akin to gambling. He may as well go to Vegas and put it on red or black. Most funds have only held small percentages of their assets in crypto because its deemed a very risky investment. Warren Buffet has famously said bitcoin is "rat poison squared" and that "I don’t have any cryptocurrency and I never will".

I have to say I agree with most of this. The dollar (and fiat) is not going to zero. Companies holding Bitcoin as a reserve currency is definitely a risky move, as Tesla have found out. However, I think the case for crypto is broader than that. I'm not a financial expert, but a lot of the defi use cases are genuinely revolutionary. Taking out loans without banks, for instance. Bitcoin is getting an upgrade this month that will allow smart contacts and defi, or at least start that process.

I'm long term bullish on btc and crypto generally - it's around for good (13 years and counting), solves genuine issues, the price can drop without taxpayers getting screwed (like they do when the stock market tanks).

The problem for retail investors especially is that it is very volatile and you need to hold long term. Many buy when the price is high and panic sell when it drops.

I've a feeling that crypto is an area where views are entrenched. If you're bullish or bearish on Bitcoin, the other side won't convince you of anything.

So I'll just keep tapping away making a few quid

And it's fine for Warren Buffett to opine about something he knows nothing about (by his own admission) because he's already rich

Ok so it never quite tipped into loss by the looks of it, but it has swung wildly. It's a pure gamble. Everyone is delighted when it's on the way up, and will lose their shirts on the way down. When to sell? Who the fuck knows! There are no real world indicators because its not based on anything in the real world. Fortunes will be won and lost.

The issue as I see it is that Tesla shares are pretty much speculation instruments, so proxying a further speculative asset like Bitcoin adds to volatility. Volatility in btc price is fine, because only btc investors are affected, but but for stocks because if stock markets crash then we basically all end up paying to bail them out.

I'm also much more worried about short squeezes on stock markets than anything in crypto atm because there's a genuine chance of another crash and us all getting screwed.

IMO a crash is coming down the line. The treasuries are flooding the markets with cash meaning your purchasing power is decreasing at an increased rate.

Monitor your stock positions daily and move your stop losses accordingly and you'll be ok.

As for Bitcoin.... you can also do the same but as its a lot more volatile & hopefully not stored on an exchange it's harder to manage.

If stored on exchange, the price could drop, stop you out and run again without you getting the opportunity to repurchase. Can also happen with the markets though not as volatile hence less likely.

Anyway .... everyone, enjoy your day. Think I'll head to Donegal / Sligo and walk the beach get some sun and sea air.

"Like the dollar and the euro are seen as having strengthened over the last few years. What about other smaller currency? Are they all going to crash too? Are we talking about some new worldwide depression with pension funds emptied and wages considered worthless. It's a nonsense. Sooner or later folks will realise the emperor has no clothes.

Yes smaller currencies have crashed before. Its called hyper inflation.

Wages are begining to be worthless. Cost of living in Ireland has never been higher and wages have not changed to any real degree in the last 3 decades.

Anything else?

Inflation in Ireland is about 0.86%. Hyperinflation my ass

I didn't mention inflation in Ireland. I was talking about the cost of living in Ireland. Would you not agree that has increased considerably in the last 2 decades where as wages haven't. Thus so many people are now fighting for a living wage, can't afford to buy a house or have a decent standard of living. Due to wages almost becoming worthless as the cost of living is so high.

You asked would smaller currencies crash and I answered yes they have. Due to hyperinflation. In Argentina in the 80s they to had to bring in a new peso (a new currency) for stability. Same happened in Zimbabwe with the dollar. People use to have to carry a rubbish bag full of cash notes just to buy a news paper.

You figure of. 86% I'd from 2019.

So anything else??

Hang on, Argentina after Videla and the drubbing handed by the Brits in the Falklands War, Zimbabwe after decades of Mugabe corruption and cleptocracy. Why don’t you mention the Reichsmark in May 1945 as well.

I fully realise that the Euro and the Pound are only legal tender in the EU and the UK but the EU and the UK are hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland, Volkswagen, Renault, Alstom, Siemens, EDF, Diageo, Kerry Group, SNCF, dozens of airports, the ports of Rotterdam, Bremen, Hamburg, Glasgow, Antwerp...., hundreds of millions of people, schools, universities, hospitals. All very real and tangible.

Crypto currencies are a handful of people with a handful of powerful computers essentially creating a bit of intangible data and convincing each other that bit of data is worth something.

Data that is stored is data that can be wiped and a storage medium that can be destroyed. The real economy doesn’t disappear that easily, that requires an extinction event like an asteroid impact. Even during the Black Death the real economy survived, it contracted badly alright and took a lot of time to recover but it never disappeared. If you put your eggs in a virtual basket don’t be surprised that at some stage the basket can simply disappear into nothing.

Sure when do you sell any share or stock or investment?

The first rule of investing is invest what you can afford to lose. Doesn't matter if thats in stock, currencies or bonds.

Fortunes are made and lost every day on the stock market.

Bull trap confirmed in the price range where it was expected to be confirmed. Probably sideways and down for months now between $25k and 40k, before we go above $100k next year.
