Today I'm continuing this series, hoping people will read, engage, respond, help each other etc - I will do this a couple times a week so people see it is a regular series and place they can always come and refer to the resource.
Consider Resteeming this post to get others involved.
NEWS:
A PILE OF ALT COINS HAVE GAINED ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 35% VALUE SINCE THE ETF NEWS BROKE
Bitcoin ETF was denied this week by the SEC in the USA and that impacted markets big time and if you keep reading... you will see some coins in the alt coin market have been MOONING hitting YUGE new highs!!!
I continue to watch LiteCoin all week again, and esp. now because the SegWit issues are underway, since Feb 3rd. for possible implementation and that is likely going to affect value --- The slow and steady rise of the miners signalling support still around ~21% for SegWit daily with blocks signaling in the past 24 hours! (as time of writing this)
DASH stayed up around recent highs this week even after the ETF not being approved and at then SHOT up to smash new highs AND GAINS IN THE 35% range as I write this, starting about 12 hours after the ETF news broke -- so around 4:30 am EST.
At TOW this article DASH is still now trading at a YUGE all time high of ~ $68 or so --- most of the last few months it hovered around the ~$11 -$17 mark as we know. It started to climb big time in the last ~20 days ago and has turned a lot of heads. If you look at the charts -- it seems to have found a new bottom the last 5 days around the $34 mark and dips/bumps still have it usually around that $41-45 mark a lot of the time as of late. Depending on which "bottom" low water mark you pick of the exchanges and rhythms and dips of the charts
Ethereum and Eth. Classic have been climbing and as of late, hitting new gradual highs this last week and again, in the face of the Bitcoin ETF being disapproved..... just started mooning! $ETH is up ~ 18% at TOW here today, and is being implemented into a ton of projects boosting the visibility and usability cases for the currency. $ETC policy, coin limits and updates have also been updated the last week and change, and it is up around 3% give or take.
ETH shot up starting around 8 am EST today so about 15 hours after the ETF news..... ETC has stayed nearly sideways the whole last week or more barely moving past the $1.33 mark staying super stable -- it is nice to see as a store of value, just like LiteCoin!
LiteCoin shares the same codebase as Bitcoin ( as do many coins) but LTC is the closest to Bitcoin in that regard and its stability through volatile markets every month should be noted, and that includes this week. It is a very quiet, boring, stable coin and honestly, I really like that! It remains a STORE OF VALUE and that is important! Nearly 24 hours after the ETF news... it is only down about 6¢. Yes other coins have gained but my comments total in this paragraph should be noted.
What is next for the Winklevoss Twins???!!*
Your thoughts on these and other things???
Here's the latest of my LiteCoin blog posts in that series connecting people to those facts/news going on with LTC. LiteCoin continues to just hold it's value / be a good store of value, be "boring", stable, reliable, and fast on the blockchain, the usual.
I am really enjoying doing this series long term, seeing the feedback and questions. I love it (:
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT!!!
There are a lot of good people on here who know what they are doing and we can build a solid resource here a couple times a week with all the community and you can check in here on my page a couple times a week and see the latest.
People can ask questions, share their wisdom and failures, and my hope is simple really :
If you feel my posts are undervalued or you want to donate to tip me - I would appreciate it very much.

Shorting eth after that big ol bull run
Thanks for commenting. Can I ask why shorting? Are you just looking for some short term gains and profit and then exiting that position?
Do you think ETH will continue to rise and be implemented in lots of projects and gain value??
I would love to know if you do not mind me asking.
Just for short term gains. Thankfully closed at a profit before it reached $21. I don't know if it'll continue to rise at the moment, but I believe long term it'll be valued much higher. Eth Has a much more reputable team behind it, whereas competitors like Dash have an image problem with the premine, whether or not they manipulate the market.
Great input. I really appreciate the feedback and I know some people read posts but never like or comment.... so everyone can learn.
Have a good week.
Thanks! You have a good week also
What a week in Poloniex it has been.
So much uncertainly and so much expectation regarding the etf result.
On Thursday all alts were crashing like crazy and no one knew why.
I held on as long as possible but then I just had to get out and put everything into Bitcoin just as a temporary safe haven until things settled down again.
I left it there and spent the whole Friday keeping an eye on things trying to figure out a plan of what to do and the only way to do that was to make a decision on the etf. Will it be a yes or a no?
I decided on a no. And that meant two things would happen.
However I was taking no chances.
Lot of traders asked my opinion as I am getting a reputation for making predictions that come true. Whats funny about this is that every time I make a prediction I am always laughed at. But then when it comes true they act surprised.
I was asked again for my opinion.
I told that in my view if/when the etf is denied certain coins would rise.
Monoero/DASH/ETH/ and Litecooin a little bit as it was safe. I also said MAID would rise fast. Again I was laughed at.
No one is laughing now. DASH rocketed and so did Monero as did ETH
MAID went balistic.
I will not say what I put my money on but lets just say I have never made so much money in such a short time.
I see Bitcoin is rising again.
What an experience!
Wow!
Great reply as always from you. That is some kind of story man!
I was hanging on the edge of my seat reading that actually hahaha!
Very true.... I was watching all these markets and trying to make mental notes and pick up on the signals and cues and that last week, and y-day is one of the reasons I started this new series.
I have so many series running, I should be on prime time TV lol...
Only I speak more truth than TV.
I am so glad you did well my friend, great stuff, thanks for posting here today.
Ha ha thanks Barry
Yeah for sure I agree your should have your won chat show.
You even had a mention on the Steemittalk podcast tonight.
They always talk about you on there. You should join next time.
Get out?
What are people saying about me anyways?
DM me if needed LOL
I have to say, our chat last week about your fancy piece of art we discussed...... I am honestly still thinking about that piece, and our talk, I told you that day, I felt something shift inside me man.
For a non artsy person to say that, is really something.
Everyone was talking about your post about living in the container. They were saying it was one of the best posts that has been on Steemit ofr ages and that this was what Steemit was all about:
I think they post the recording of the show either Sunday or Monday. I always resteem it so have a listen if you get time. It was good advertising for you.
I was really happy to hear that you got the recognition you deserve.
Yeah I enjoyed our chat last week too.
Keep strong Barry!
It always surprises me when I hear something nice about me TBH.
Link me when you can, when you find it posted and maybe how far into it so I can find it quickly.
I have always tried to put out good content here with my challenges.
Thanks for being a friend.
