The day started out pretty OK, but then it just took a turn to the bizarre, as Litecoin shot up almost 100% and then an hour or so later Ethereum started to go bananas. Then all of a sudden everything was up. Even Bitcoin is just marching on.
This is just going to be a quick hallelujah post. I'll try and sum myself and read up on stuff this evening and tomorrow morning and give a better analysis.
Litecoin
Litecoin is basically just getting popular. There is no way around it. It's trending in Appstore, and people want it. Charlie Lee did an interview with CNBC yesterday and people are excited about what the team can do. Luckily I did own Litecoin before it flew up, and I am NOT selling.
Ethereum
Ethereum took off as well, mainly because of some of the worlds largest banks have revealed a pilot designed to simplify compliance using ethereum and that several major regions such as South Korea, governments has announced that they will allow ICO's.
Also, Cboe, the futures exchange that recently listed Bitcoin basically told the media that "wait for whats coming next" which IMO means they will list Ethereum or Litecoin on the futures market. Also ETF's are most definitely coming.
The rest
Basically everything is up. Every coin I own is up at least 6%. I haven't calculated yet, but I think my portfolio is up some 20% on the day. I'm celebrating by baking some bread.. (I forgot to buy some cheap red) At least I have some good cheese!
Oh, and I almost forgot. I bought three coins today. Factom, Fun and Tenx. I'll write a little bit about them tomorrow.
From the creator of LiteCoin. Before it shot up again.
Yeah, lol. And its not done yet it seems.
It's my FOMO of Today. I knew it was going to be when it surpassed BitCoin for market volume in the past 24 hours.
Lol! That´s hilarious!
In Germany Bitcoin is on TV finanziel news. Every know jet Bitcoin!
Awesome!
Haha! Yeah, again - What a day!!
I sat at the office just laughing while Litecoin kept rising. Insane!
And the best part is that we're just beginning :) This is the beginning. We got a head start.
Oh yes!
Looking forward to hear your thoughts on FCT by the way.
They had me at documents+blockchain :) That's a huge utility for blockchain and I don't even need to read into FCT to know that I'm going to bet on it. There will be others, there might be others that are doing it better - but first mover advantage?? and yeah..I'm just betting on good areas where I believe blockchain can utilize.
There are so many professional people with great ideas who were just waiting for something like the blockchain and ICO's to happen - to power their ideas, that I'm sure that a lot of the companies building on top of it right now are going to succeed.
congratulations my friend! Cash out a little and live a little! ;)
