Official BGOL Crypto Currency Thread ★★★★★

:lol: $10k? My dude at one point last year my Ripple bag was six figures alone!

Y'all do know cats had like 50k ripple for $200 last January? It was about $0.0067 yes less than one penny :lol:

Our test the market money made a lot of people rich :lol:
He's just typing bullshit after bullshit.

Okay thanks
I see it on amazon for $100

Coinbase just opened up a $270 limit for me
Im bout to go coins shopping real quick
Im thinking i might reup on TRON

Don't buy off amazon. Buy off the original site.

almost a full year later I walked into my boss’ office and put in my notice...today’s my last day :) so much respect to all those who fueled this thread and continue to do so

:cheers: All that work in crypto paid off!
Congrats fam!! Man what a year it's been!

For you newbies: you see how we celebrate each other's successes?

Y'all don't even understand the journey we've gone through together - from throwing a couple hundred bucks on an idea to freeing ourselves.

Each and every brother who has enriched their lives because of this market deserves some praise and congrats.

I hope y'all find a crew and start hustling forwards together. Dare I say it's impossible to do this alone. You'll need the support.

Cats don't even realize how far folks have come up.

And yes, a group does make this shit a lot easier. Especially when it's one of the best in the game. :yes:
 
Tron looking for round two! Be smart fellas don't go all in and take profits off the table if it goes 100%.

Sounds counterintuitive but this isn't a race it's a marathon.

Even if you believe in a coin be smart and protect your capital.

Leaving your interest on the table allows you to hold through downturns much easier.

This ^^. We all bought XRP back then. I didn't put enough to have 6 figures then, but I do have them now. If I only had 10K worth of crypto by now I'd jump out a fucking window.
 
I missed that boat. I did get it cheap but not that cheap.

Just like legalmoney said, there's always the next wave. My biggest returns were in coins other than XRP. But like you already know, you just have to buy a good coin when it's low and try not to listen to people shilling popular coins when they're high. There's great info in this thread but it tends to get lost. There's also been a lot of bad advice in this thread since December for the new guys and that tends to make the most noise.

Man congrats! Full time day trader now? I put the money I took out last summer into opening a payday loan company. We are licensed but I am not to the point that I can quit my gig yet. That is motivation man!
 
I have the same question. I have XRP, DRGN, VIBE, TAU, WGR, TRX, ADA.

-I have my XRP on a new Ipad (toast app) that I will only use for ripple.
-I left my Wager on Waves lite app.
-My ADA is on the deadulus app.
-DRGn, VIBE, TRX, and TAU are on Metamask/MEW.

Any advice on a better way to store my coins is greatly appreciated, because I invested a good chunk of money in these coins.
MEW for your ERC20 coins
Neon wallet for others

I'm not surprised that cat quit. I remember when GAS went live on Binance. I posted on BGOL like the minute he did. Think we both got in around $5 or so. He was also up on BNB when it was around 10-30 cents and I believe we both got in on WTC around $1 or so. I panic sold, but I'm pretty sure he held during the China FUD. He earned his stripes. Solid flips.

I know he hated that one project he got into in the summer instead of NEO, but he bounced back into quitting his job. Just shows what cats can do in this game. :yes:
 
:lol: Peace to whoever liked an old post from last January when we were all debating whether to go in on NSR, BBR, and PASC!

Goes to show you a hyped coin today is worthless tomorrow!

https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20170205/

Take a look at the market cap last February - Eth was $11, Neo was $0.13, Strat was $0.08.

A lot more shit coins this year but don't worry about missing a coin. That will kill you. Let go of FOMO and find one you believe in with good fundamentals.

Yeah I remember him and NEO and WTC...at the point of WTC, I had taken out most of my XRP. I only has WGR, XLM, and some other coins that eventually woke up. I still gate missing those plus BNB...I did get in on Neblio when it first dropped!
 
Very long read, but a must read if you're holding xrp

The Ripple story

Introduction


On 4 January 2018, the Ripple (XRP) price reached a high of $3.31, an incredible gain of 51,709% since the start of 2017. This represented a market capitalization of $331 billion, putting Ripple’s valuation in the same league as Google, Apple, Facebook, Alibaba, and Amazon — the largest tech giants in the world. According to [URL='http://archive.is/cK5QC']Forbes
, Chris Larsen, the executive chairman of Ripple, owns 17% of the company and controls 5.19 billion XRP, worth around $50 billion at the time of the peak, making him one of the richest people in the world. Despite this incredible valuation, many of the market participants do not appear to know much about Ripple’s history or the technology behind it. In this piece, we provide an overview of the history of Ripple and look at some of its technical underpinnings.

The dispute and the Bitstamp Ripple freeze incident

In 2015, Ripple took advantage of the Ripple freeze feature instituted in August 2014. The Bitstamp gateway froze funds belonging to a family member of Jed McCaleb. Some consider this ironic: Ripple originally stated that the freeze feature was implemented to enable gateways to comply with orders from law enforcement yet the first actual usage of the feature appears to have been an order to comply with an instruction from the Ripple company itself, against one of the founders.

What appears to have happened is a family member of McCaleb sold 96 million XRP (perhaps part of the 2 billion XRP given to other family members and not part of the lock-up agreement) back to Ripple for around $1 million. After Ripple acquired the XRP for USD, Ripple appears to have asked Bitstamp to use the Ripple freeze feature to confiscate the $1 million Ripple had just used to buy the tokens. In 2015, Bitstamp took both Ripple and McCaleb to court, to determine the best course of action.

Court documents allege/reveal the following:

  • McCaleb had 5.5 billion XRP.
  • McCaleb’s two children held 2 billion XRP.
  • Another 1.5 billion XRP were held by charitable organizations and other family members.
  • In March 2015, Jacob Stephenson, a relative of McCaleb, offered to sell 96 million XRP to Ripple.
  • Ripple agreed to pay nearly $1 million to buy the 96 million XRP from Stephenson in a complicated transaction that “manipulated the market” to “improperly inflate the price per XRP of the transaction and mislead other purchasers”. As part of this, Ripple paid more than the cost and asked Stephenson to return an excess amount of $75,000.
  • Bitstamp’s chief legal officer was also an advisor to Ripple and as such there was a conflict of interest.
The dispute between McCaleb and Ripple continued until a final resolution in February 2016, when the company, implying that McCaleb had violated the 2014 XRP lock-up agreement, stated that a final settlement had been reached:
