Did you HODL?? Or SODL?? LOL | E.17 | What was your Week in Crypto like? Community Engagement Series. | Still Includes the History of Where HODL Comes From for New Crypto Family.

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

We are seeing unprecedented growth in the entire Crypto Currency space, not just in Bitcoin.

Are you HODLing everything? SODL some? Moved profits into one place or another?

As of just now about 3:05 pm EST --- the CMC.com (CoinMarketCap.com) charts are showing our total market cap for Crypto is still elevated - overall compared to the last month of course......but overnight, fell, and is bleeding red.......

We have had elevated and sustained for many many days now, since the Bitcoin / Bitcoin Cash Forkening event caused the markets to finally swell back over the $100B mark for the first time in weeks since Aug. 1st -- and has kept climbing.


We were sitting still at $159.3B Total Crypto Currency Market Cap 5 days ago when I did this update last........

--

Last Night when I got offline after my posts, say 11:30 pm EST - we were RIGHT on the cusp on crossing the $180B mark for the first time......

We fell overnight from that point to $162B right now. -- Losing approx. $17B.

It often happens on FUD Fridays as we know.


Bitcoin (as my last update last nite showed) was RIGHT on the very edge of crossing the $5k mark USD for the first time, it was literally around $4980/$4990 USD!!!!

Oh so close!!!

Reminder / Proof / Charts etc are here from last nite:

-- I am hopeful it just stays solid with nice slow increases and does not crash again losing fully half the market cap.......again.

Ever.

LOL

--

-- We are up almost ~$5B in 5 days / since my last update on the series here, as a result, if you like good news -- balanced perspective like I always try to give.


$150B Crypto Market Cap crossed 1st time ever: 8/23/2017!

$179B Crypto Market Cap " " " 9/1/2017

Just perspective / We almost crossed the Crypto Market cap of $180B in the last 20 hours of Sept. 1st 2017:

Half the Market Cap DUMPED as I mentioned above has happened to us before.......As we did just around June 21st, when it hit the high of $117B and then tanked into the $65 to $95B range for weeks.

Those were bloodbath times. Shudders -- Even though the dramatic rise, signalled a clear correction would be coming.


Thanks for reading, have a nice day.

always hodl :)

It works pretty well!

I like it! :D

What did you like in particular about the post?

Great. Thanks for sharing. I vote for you and begin to follow you. And Resteemed...

Amazing man . We need more people like you ,seriosly .

Great information. Thanks for sharing!

Piccata? Titicaca! I am Cornholio! I need piccata for my bunghole!

Just hodled. We lost 10% in 24hrs, that is what happens in this space. Fascinating that it happens though, quite some money!

It does happen.

Hold/sold not the only options. You forgot about shorting with leverage.

Not really, it did not fit with my catchy title for the series.

So no acknowledgement of high risk/reward strategies that favor the bold at all?

I increased my trade account balance by about 60% during that correction by shorting Ether, and I arrived late to the party. Of course, the profits were promptly used to purchase more BTS :)

Hello Barry, which coins do you suggest buying?

Which coins has your research lead you to be interested in?

I will be starting a fun side project. Going to put $1 into each coin. For now, I pick those coins with biggest market cap.

Spent half my monthly crypto-investment budget early this week on DASH, Ether and some more TenX PAY. Today I feel glad I kept half the budget put aside, to use in case if the market takes a downward turn. Which it seems to be taking right now, as I’m typing this. As soon as the fall stops, I am about to grab some more – and cheaper – DASH, Ether, Monero and ZCash. This is my plan. I haven’t sold anything, hodling fast.

Oleg has solid plans people!

  • he is a valuable guy to follow on here -- and very nice as well!!

I am liking it man, I thought about this reply while I was out today actually, just checking back in.

I lodleded of the ones who sodleded. Of course im hodledling!

That is a solid reply there LOL!!!
