>Tell me your success stories with crypto trading, /biz/.
all the cryptoshilling might get /biz/ closed down, that is kind of a success

I had a plan to try and convince mods to limit crypto to 1 daily sticky or add some rules to limit it without interfering with free speech, but I guess it is too late for that now.

>>1540206
Ok, I bought BTC at $327, ETH at $6.24.
Currently up $12,346.
Happy?

>>1540027

Went all in at 150 dollars when BTC bottomed in jan 2015, told everyone to do so, few listened. Now I laugh at nocoiners on the daily as my millions go up.
The march towards 2000$+ a coin continues.

>Bought 2000€ of bitcoin in early 2013.
>Switched everything over to ETH early 2016.
>now i have close to 20000 Eur worth of ETH, not counting the split ETC (die already bitch).

>>1540491
you don't have anything until you sell, dude~

but yeah you bought at the right time. step one complete.

>>1540400
You can't mine effectively with a single GPU
You have to build a dedicated computer with enough airflow.
Anyway I would recommand not to start mining right now since the network difficulty is quite high (and it will continue to rise)
You know, I started mining because I wasn't sure ETH was a good oportunity and I thought that I could get some this way and get back my money (selling the computer back) if things went wrong.
If I actually invested my initial 700€ directly into cheap ETH on poloniex at the time, I would have way more ETH already.

I made 100k through alt-coin insider trading. Technically there is no insider trading in alt-coins so this is perfectly legally.

As they say in the crap coin space: if you're not inside you're outside, and outsiders get fucked in the ass.

Now how to do this? Build connections with entrepreneurs. Follow tech progress. Get to know key influencers very deeply ... and most of all - trade directly on information, not on speculation.

Protip: if it's less than 10 billion marketcap then it can be manipulated through single news releases and on social media. A carefully manipulated story could yield profits in the 6 figures or high 5 figures. Alt-coins are the new penny stock my friends and its raining Memecoins daily. There is a reason why /biz/ shills coins and its not to make you rich.

TL DR
Mining is a lot of stress, a good amount of work if you're not computer literate nor tech handy.

>>1542087
Lel, does anyone remember the crap coin miner story posted to /g/ a while back where a guy ended up falling asleep in an extremely hot room and had seizures from the heat. I think he got brain damage or something.

>Average crapcoin miner.png

>>1542090
I've never heard about it but I would totaly believe this story.
During spring and early summer I would not sleep at my place but occasionally.
So far I regret nothing because I've learnt so much during those month an I now have few ETH at a good value and with the best growing potential on the long run.
If I had the oportunity to do it again this autumn-winter, I would not but I would invest directly into ETH.

>>1542084
Where does one even start? Regisfer an account on their forums and start charming the coin devs through private messaging?

I remember it, but that was a very small thread a long time ago. He got heat stroke and when he woke up his head was pulsating and he definitely wrote something about brain damage.

Since late 2013 I made around $200k from trading major alts like Litecoin, Dogecoin, MAID, Mondeopump, ETH and a few others. However, it was not fun and took a big toll on my life. I dropped out of an excellent college and now I am in a shit school with mediocre grades. I have no friends and needed to get psychiatric treatment.
Of course this might not all be caused by Altcoin trading but I feel it was a big factor. So watch out what you're getting into.

I made everything the legit way without special sauce insider information except /g/, bitcointalk and good intuition about micro and macro market mechanics but I really hate it and it's not fun anymore.
To proof that I am telling the truth: picture related wallet alone contains 127 BTC and 350k Maid.

>>1540229
>95 ETH

So you only have $1275 after all of that.
$575 after the cost of your computer.

>he trusts guvermint issued money as having something
kek

>>1542305
is that software safe? i only trust bitcoin core
are you expecting a MAID pump? wwhen will you sell those

and lol at being depressed at 127 BTC. you will be rich as fuck in 10 years, just lay down and rot until then. hell 21 BTC is already unavoidable rich status in 10 years.

>>1540027
Just got ripped off. Bought 24 packs of noodles for $10 which comes to about $0.42/piece but now they are selling for under $5. Too late to return them though, I'll let this be my lesson.

>>1542073
bro it's okay his mom pays for the electricity with the money she earns from selling herself, so it's free $$

Are people still touting this garbage even though Bitcoin has never risen above its meteoric peak of 2013?

>>1540423
it's meddling little ratbags like yourself that should fuck off and die.

>>1542265
I agree with you. Trading currencies is fucking depressing and stressful. I lost 10k one day when I tried to take advantage of an anomalous surge in Buttcoin prices and then was fucked when it crashed again. I learned after that not to make emotional decisions and not to try day trade volatile as fuck crap currencies but instead to invest over a period of months.

>is that software safe? i only trust bitcoin core
It's based on Bitcoin core, but sometimes it crashes during sync. This could also be caused by me running client and blockchain from a microSD card.
That said it's probably good advice to keep plenty of backups around.

>are you expecting a MAID pump? wwhen will you sell those
Could be pumping but probably not. I think Altcoins in general will be pumping big time only after the next BTC pump.
I hold BTC (45%), MAID (18%), some leftover XMR(5%), FCT (8%, fct looks bad) and 25% in a high-risk revolutionary Top 30-40 Altcoin already more than 2 years in development with no working code to show for with devs currently battling over some esoteric fundamental issues I don't even understand..

>Are people still touting this garbage even though Bitcoin has never risen above its meteoric peak of 2013?
It takes a lot of time to digest such peaks. However, waiting might be over soon.

>>1544245
>Are people still touting this garbage even though Bitcoin has never risen above its meteoric peak of 2013?
Is this how nocoiners cope these days?

>>1540491
You think Bitcoin is still going to rise?

Tell me one of you guys were there at the beginning. Tell me of your suicidal notes when you sold all your bitcoins at 30$ a piece and never bought back at 2$

>>1547011
It's unavoidable.

>>1547621
Suicidal notes were written on not buying at 30$ peak (at he time) too.

Similarly, in 10 years suicide notes will be writen at not buying at 1000$

What are your thoughts on Storj
