Say someone starts with $10k today, puts a little in BTC/ETH

The ship for retirement has already sailed. In my opinion the only coin that has any more room to grow is XRP.

>>2516528
so bitcoin will never really catch on then?

>>2515848
no ones knows.
opinions from qualified people are:
1. bubble, we are all gonna loose our money.
2. btc will be worth half a million in 10 years.

invest money you can afford to loose.
maybe lucky maybe not.

might wanna wait for the 1. august to buy the dip after segwit

>>2516641
Im long on both bitcoin and xrp, but imo bitcoin will not have the same gains as other coins if you are just buying in right now.

segwit is getting activated on july 21st, august 1 doesn't mean anything anymore, it was simply the pressure to get miners to activate early

>is everyone in /biz/ right now going to make it?
No way, there are seriously some retarded people here. Look at all the screenshots of people selling at losses during a moon mission.
That said, you don't need to be a genius to make it in this market.

>>2516641
normies think you need to buy a whole bitcoin

Maybe.
Just think what happens if amazon or ebay would accept crypto payment

>>2515848
WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED. The past 8 years have been speculation. Real disruptive tech is coming.

>daily 10x + coins that are actually shilled in advance on here
>ship has sailed

lmao

We arent even 1% into this stuff. The only thing is to choose the right projects. Do good research in long term projects - look at the dev team and their achievements, check roadmaps and buy when things are about to happen, read whitepapers so you understand the role of the token and whether it will have an innate value in the future or not. (STEEM looks promising as a project but the token is shit once you understand how it works). Follow general trading tips like never buy all time high, buy dips, sell pieces when its mooning to secure profit, buy rumours sell news etc.

Pick a percentage of your portfolio for long term projects and trade the rest in shitcoins by picking good timings. Easy several hundred percent profit a year

2x is a hard-fork that still needs 80% support, there is no reason for the current UASF supporters to switch (~30% of the hashrate) as UASF will be the dominate chain after the split, and UASF knocks bitmain from it's position (good for other miners)

>>2517095
2x is already at at least 75% support after ONE day of pre-signalling

>t. XRP bagholder
Daily reminder that no bank is using XRP, and no bank is planning to use XRP:
http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/01/japanese-banks-plan-to-adopt-blockchain-for-payments.html
>the 47-member consortium used technology from blockchain start-up Ripple for a cloud-based payments platform called RC Cloud.

Daily reminder that RC Cloud is a private network based on the ripple protocol, this is the only way banks will use ripple, no bank will ever use the public ripple network, let alone XRP

Daily reminder that the entire banking industry can use the ripple protocol for transmittance while Ripple is bankrupt and XRP is 1sat

Daily reminder that XRP is not stock, the success of the ripple protocol is independent of the success of Ripple the company is independent of the success of XRP

Daily reminder that of the 38 billion XRP in "circulation", over half are owned by devs or former devs

It's at less than 60%, and again, there is no reason to support it unless activation is imminent

>>2517061
I though smart traders where extinct on /biz/...

>>2517344
that's just because the stats haven't updated over the last 24 hours

That's over the last 144 blocks, over the last 40 it's at about 70%

hmmm this is also only pre-signaling that they will signal for 2x, still, if it goes up anymore it's probably is a good idea to dump LTC back into BTC
