he doesnt want to be attacked for being the opposition of dreams/desires...or hurt feelings. i can understand that.
I caught a lot of slack about Ripple. I'm an optimist but a realist.
And there was someone in this thread hyping Ripple while also dumping it. The blockchain is a public ledger. If your address is available anywhere, you can see everything that goes in and out of it.
I'll say one more thing. The exit strategy is VERY important for these coins if you don't believe in the long-term business model of whatever unit of transaction that the coins represent.
Whales sometimes get in VERY early. I got in on verge at 43 sats but reverse tracked on board where people share what they've purchased and there were real whales that accumulated massive stakes at single digit sats. Thus, they're perfectly fine with putting up massive sell walls between 180-300 and just eating all day on massive profits.
You always have to know what the people under you need in order to profit. That is the ceiling. Go look at the sell walls on Verge. Unless they do some absolutely fantastic, how are they going to get past the sell walls and I saw some MASSIVE walls on that chart. I saw a sell wall of 600 BTC! I don't know what the wall looks like now.
What I've also noticed (and it happened with Digi) is that these teams are coordinating the hype. On digi, I noticed they hired a marketing guy who was in the telegram group (which has 5000 users) and he was getting them to "support" the coin (while explicitly saying he didn't want them to "pump it" because they don't care about the price). They were probably responsible for HALF the tweets that were out there during the pump and that contributed to the run.
As it's dropped down so low now, the top 5 Digibyte wallets have repurchased 100s of millions of digibyte. Which means they'll probably do it again.
Verge team is starting to get a bit too "hypey" as well and it's not like the tech is that great.
Just be careful and think about your exit strategy.
Because lots of people here are grabbing info to get in but not talking about their exit strategies and leaving people as "bag holders".
I'm in another group and we tell each other exactly when the fuck we are selling..not just buying.. just so that people can understand why someone might be getting out because your sell point is just as important as you buy point. People might still stay in but it gives you hive intelligence when you get multiple points of reference.
That's why I'm out on verge. I'm not jumping in like this anymore though because it's against the spirit of this thread. Plus about to be busier with a coin-related project.
