I feel they are shaking out retail investors and that shortly after the first of the year it is going to the moon. go check out @nikedragonn on twitter has some interesting theories, but I’ve been following some interesting threads and I’ve been mentally prepared for a massacre before we see the promise land. Phoenix rising from the ashes.... but it all has to burn first.

The video was the first video that came out on the subject so I posted it as soon as I saw it. Then I found and posted the article that said trading was suspended, and not delisted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrehistoricMan Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 So I guess I will ask my questions here then... Does it work like commodities? See if you buy a dow jones for instance and it starts going down, you are losing money. Eventually you will take a loss if it goes down too much. Commodoties force you to get out of it basically....you have to have enough money in the account to cover the loss. Does it also work this way with cryptos? You can put a stop in that gets you out in commodities. Can you do this with cryptos too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrehistoricMan Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Oh well....I have another question but afraid it wont be answered. I googled xrp. To see what it was trading at. Clicked on the xrp button only to find out it appears to me xrp is like the title of a coin. xrp is broken down into about 400 other coins. So...so confused. All I see is people buying xrp. Well, which one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaitlynnD Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Hmm, try investing with a considerable amount that you wont mind losing I guess? it's crazy how crypto currencies had boomed over the last few years, even to the point where you own your own wallet and credit. even online casinos are accepting crypto as form of credit and payment lol. casinos from the middle east like libancasino use it as one of their payment methods.

So...so confused. All I see is people buying xrp. Well, which one? Cryptos are weird but it is the future. Xrp and xlm are the rails between banks. (Interbank payments) so all the digital currencies that will be moving around from different central banks will have to be tied to one for ease of transactions. So xrp is useful in that if a dinar needs to be changed to a rupee then xrp is the bridge. If that makes sense. So xrp and xlm are considered bridge currency. This is how I understand it I could be wrong. I have both xrp and xlm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceSign Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I currently use coinbase cuz it's easy for beginners...however as I learn more I realize I'm going to want to use a decentralized exchange...but haven't made the leap yet cuz I'm still learning. Coinbase is centralized which means they technically own your money. Decentralized means your in control, peer to peer, but more involved...still learning.

You can put a stop in that gets you out in commodities. Can you do this with cryptos too? Yes But. You are on the ground floor of a geyser. You are still at the bottom of the s curve so it's ultimately a bull market. In this situation you want to buy and Hold. No selling even when it drops, if anything buy the dip. You will lose your pants if you start swing trading cryptos. Buy hold and don't get emotional. This is generational wealth building. Buy and keep buying no matter the dips. My goal is to accumulate shares no matter how low it goes cuz I'm looking at the 5 10 20 yr outlook. It is volatile so I will not be swing trading. However volatility is vitality. Buy and hold! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
