I wrote a post about Kin some months ago: Consider to participate in the Kin Token Distribution Event.
There were many good reasons to be bullish on Kin considering that over 40% of American teenagers use the Kik app, so the demand is obviously there, and making an own token actually made sense, and they also had a very successful ‘pilot study’ with Kik points.
After the ICO, I was very disappointed when Kin fell 50%, to a market cap of a measly $40 millions.
I was expecting an instantaneous 10x!
Today, we broke $1000 millions: Up 25x from the bottom!
If you bought Kin I guess you are pretty happy today:).
One thing I like about Kin is that it is easy to have millions of Kin tokens.
It just feels good on a psychological level.
I have mixed feelings about earning so fast&easy money:
The bull market in cryptos is going to reverse some time in the future.
Thus, I think it is a good advice to diversify a little and use some of the profits to buy for example silver, that has been lagging for years.
If silver goes up and crypto crashes, you can sell silver and buy cryptos on sale (if you choose to).
If crypto continues the bull run for years, and silver stays flat, well then you have many beautiful coins that are still worth something.
If you are diversified into many assets classes, you may win something most of the time, which feels good and make you get more testosterone and less cortisol (the winner effect).
I recently bought 5 Year of the Horse 2 oz for $50 on sale at APMEX, they are now sold for $69!
Also a little victory!
If we compare the crypto market to the tech bubble, taking into consideration that there is twice as much money in the markets today as in 2000 - cryptos would be in the tech bubble when that bursted when cryptos total mcap reaches $20 trillion.
Tech stocks, or dotcom stocks were 10% of the value of all stocks in the world in 2000.
Also..they were not currencies as well as just stocks. Cryptos are currencies AND utility tokens.
I wouldn't begin to stress with bubbles or selling until another 15-20x..which is a total mcap of 15-20 trillion usd.
Big mistake to start becoming afraid at this level IMO.
Another thing is that when it reaches a bubble and it bursts 50%, it will come back stronger than ever.
When people talk about bubbles, and especially the tech bubble, they forget to mention that a few years later it was much higher than it was when the bubble bursted. And today the tech market is the worlds biggest market.
It's cool with some silver and gold - and I personally own more than any reasonable person should. But I would not spend too much of my money on that now, with the knowledge I have today.
I don't think precious will get back to their former glory, unless Internett shuts down. And at that point we've got so much bigger things to think about that investments. Like bread..and warmth.
I see the utility for especially silver as a conductor and in medicine, but jewlerey could also be in for a huge change in the future. With holograms and augmented reality, perhaps people want hologram rings or other crazy stuff hoovering around them instead of old school jewlery? :)
I tried to argue why the crypto market is not in a bubble until 10-20x from this level here

Much agreed. Still silver might have a massive comeback, not because of its monetary value, but for industrial purposes. Ref. Clif High with his somewhat strange methods, but with a relatively good track record predictionwise. Silver coins are cool as well :)
I'd love it if silver made a comeback! But I've been sitting on my silver for..6 years now and I'm pretty much exactly break even. It's the most boring investment I've ever done. But yeah, I have a few to look at, which is cool every other moon...
So you got in after the Big Run-Up of 2011? That had to be a heart breaker, it was even worse cuz I got in about 2 years before, and prices were pretty much the same as today for Silver... then it went up to $48.48 officially on the crimex, but hit $50 in the overnite Asian Markets. I was hoping for $100 ozT but the good thing is I HAVE MORE NOW!!!
;)
It' not that bad. Took a look at the purchases now. I bought my first batch in 2011. But then I averaged down the next few years. I even bought some three years ago.My average is $20,3 so it's not horrible. But ..yeah, a boring investment :)
Cool Stuff, it definitely pays to buy over time. I preach DCA all the time, and even doing it like you did really helps average out the costs. Especially since you got in during a huge Bull Run, I believe average price was over $30 for 2011. I got in well before that, but your diligence has made our average costs darn near the same. Mine might be a little lower, but I am mentally removing the premiums. I do not have a spread sheet on it, however. Doubt if I could even make a very good guess at it now, and be any more accurate than my running tally in my head LOL!
Keep Stacking! :D
Diversification into physical assets sounds cumbersome when you can buy precious metal backed coins with bitshares. Which I plan to do. But not now! That would be stupid.
Yes, I also have some 'silver' on Bitshares, but I believe it is healthy to participate a little in the world of atoms too...
Lol... They are not properly released yet. It's going to be real, redemable coins as far as i know.
Ok. I was thinking about this:
Perhaps, this is not the smartcoin you talk about.
No it's a new one. I think it will be called quint or quints. That's about what I know.
so cool nice view.
Just invited you to another shitty challenge. Easy money 😂😂 https://steemit.com/fivefacts/@trumpman/5-facts-about-me-expose-yourself-challenge

@janusface,
Wow you made a good profit by investing on that project! But I have a problem, this token got huge market supply! According to me it's not a good thing and demand can be drop any moment! So, I have mix feeling about this token! Otherwise it's concept is strong enough!
Cheers~
Yeah, I only have 2,500,000 Million tokens lol
"If silver goes up and crypto crashes, you can sell silver and buy cryptos on sale (if you choose to)."
Diverdification of the portfolio gives financial stability and this is fact and the person who is an expert in diversification is always a winner be it bull market or bear market.
Thank you @janusface and have a great day.
wow seems like patience certainly pays off :)
Crypto & Metal - Silver investment portfolio you maintain well. Nice profit in a short term~
@janusface - Sir investing on different coins is a good strategy... By diversifying your investments you can earn without a risk Sir...

Now I need to know what wallet and how much gas for when I send it out of Mercatox Hmmm...
I think I will buy some more today. the price looks good
I wanted to buy sum kin couple a weeks a go. I researched kin a lil bit it, it is a coin for kik users . I didn't look that much more in to it and now I regret it that I didn't buy .but nice article
KIN is gonna be huge!!! I believe that it'll be the biggest cryptocurrency of 2018.
Please, I hope so!
And from this point forward, also :D
Price of Year of the horse will rise more in the mid of this year. :)
Be sure to keep checking the price all time :)

Thanks sir..
great post.
Congrats for 25x
That's great! I just posted a small article about KIN too! There is like nobody talking about KIN. Onceit gets more exposure and "hype" and gets on bigger and better exchanges, it could go much higher! Us ico faithful sure deserve the reward! ;-)
What a beautiful coin. You are absolutely right, silver was appreciated at any time. Thank you for the good investment tips.
SOme Great Investment Ideas
@janusface, After the read your blog post I've look at Kin tokens from coinmarketcap. Within last week Kin seems bullish trend. Kin is a cryptocurrency designed to bring people together in a new shared economy. Envisioned as a general purpose cryptocurrency for use in everyday digital services, Kin will be used for all transactions within the Kin Ecosystem. Actually now I have Kin tokens I'm glad. Anyway Thanks for share your Kin token experience with us.
Thank you for the advice and the story of your experience. I am grateful to you .
I am a new steemians, maybe i should study first with you,

Nice post @janusface
Please do not sell any altcoin in 2018 dear @janusface.
Like 2017 was the year for BTC, 2018 is going to be the year for altcoins.
So try to hold some good altcoin which can give some massive return.
Thanks
Some mart poepl like you can only make this kind of investment and you are so wise that diverting a part of profit into precious metal like silver and gold and here i said smart means u r not diverting to any fiat cash rather investing into precious metal which is a wise decision.
Thank you @janusface.....steem on and stay blissful....
Seems like the holders of kin are way happier now ;)
I did not buy any cyrpto coin until now. I want to start buy something but I do not know which one should be bought. Thanks for the post. Maybe you can give me some recommendations :)
Very Cool, JF!
I'm now a KIN HODL'er but I got in a couple days late :'(
Still pretty happy to own 1.3 million, however! I do think
it will go off in the near future, the KIK Platform has not even opened these up to the users, yet, so the demand is still near ZERO!
I can make a nice profit at 1¢, but I think that is just a good start!
Here's a link to my post, if you want to stop in and give us some knowledge!
