So how many of OZBargainers have invested into Crypto and what are the coins they are holding? Furthermore, how much have you invested?

Edit: So I posted a comment for free $500 earlier but very few took an interest, so here is a proof of it: The exchange I was talking about was UPcoin, the $500 bonus deal is expired (you can see it on their homepage https://upcoin.com/ about $500). Here is a SC of me $500 bonus on my account. You can still join my discord group for the top and exclusive airdrops (I posted RiPT in my group which is now worth $75+) and now I have just posted another airdrop (free token) that is worth $40.

    Guys it’s over bubble has burst

    • realpotatoguy on 26/01/2018 - 22:08

      I wouldnt say that. I started at the last major peak at $1400 per bitcoin in 2014. I saw bitcoin drop to as low as $100, and stuck it through to now. It goes through phases.

    Cappasity coin - CAPP - currently on Cryptopia and DEW with few more exchanges to be announced next week. A great coin backed with a working business model. Its into AR / VR. Recently did a deal with LVMH (Louis Vitton Group) and their coin has also got the utility - you can use the coin to make transaction at their portal to use the AR / VR technology. Amazing coin with amazing future.
    Disclaimer - I have around $1000 invested into CAPP tokens as of now. Going to add some more.

  • kasp on 27/01/2018 - 19:16

    Its all going to come crashing down. Tether is about to explode and when that happens people will wake up to the fact these ICOs literally are nothing more than cash grabs. The fact you have a coin injecting fake money into the market is just crazy.

    Even a coin called ponzicoin made hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    Absolute mania ICO's are.Dogecoin a joke coin with zero application or developement is worth 2 billion apparantly. Lol

    So yeah dont invest what you cant afford to lose.

    0x Project - decentralized exchange protocol and so much more. This is one of those tokens you buy and hold. Thank me by the end of 2018

    • brainactive on 28/01/2018 - 07:25

      Decentralised exchanges at the moment don't have the reputation, security nor transaction speed to handle the required trade volumes. And if/when they eventually do, it's likely existing exchanges would've come up with own decentralised exchanges (e.g. Binance) which have better reputation.

      • [Deactivated] on 28/01/2018 - 10:08

        If you're thinking Ether Delta and others, sure, though they are already handling fairly large volume with 0x relayers and will scale as Ethereum grows, the security is already there being fully decentralized, there is no issue of security. Once Eth releases Casper, it will handle almost anything. The time to get in is now while the price is still reasonable. It is one of the few tokens that has actually already basically delivered their white paper and are continuing to improve. Can't say that about many crypto coins.

        Also, want to add that 0x uses off chain order books via repeaters and is actually quite fast already, you can even test it out for yourself. I highly advise it

    Put 2k into Ripple and am currently losing around half of it.

    • TurkishDelight on 28/01/2018 - 21:40

      Idk why would you even buy ripple. I hope you just did not think that= "oh wow the #3 coin only costs $1.xx and may become the new bitcoin (or close to it)".

      • gooddealmate on 28/01/2018 - 21:48

        I don't claim to know anything about Crypto, so for me it was purely a punt.

        Went with a lower value coin as they seemed to fluctuate more. Was going to go with TRON for this very reason but can't figure out how to transfer funds from BTC markets.

        Still, happy to hold on to XRP and see what happens.

        • TurkishDelight on 28/01/2018 - 22:10

          Ok, good luck but both TRX and XRP is a no deal for me. It is quite easy to make an account on binance and transfer the BTC there (just google or I can help, DM me). If you are into low-value coin look at ECC (not on any decent exchanges yet) but I spent $100 on that coin a few days back and got 30K coins and that coin has solid potential and once it reaches decent exchange site that price will rocket.

          Other good low-value coins are TEL, KIN, and POT.

        I set stop limit orders and have price alerts thank you very much. There is absolutely no reason to hodl with fast transactions and the ability to rebuy.

        If you believe that cryptocurrency is going the same way as "tulips" then you might be interested to know that a number of exchanges support margin trading (and by extension short selling). ;)

          There's no feasible way I can prove to you what transactions are linked to crypto investment and which ones are not because I buy from third parties as well.

          You're basically telling me to provide the equivalent of my bank account details and half the details needed to send/receive crypto on my behalf. If I dont then I've somehow "lost money" because I cant prove otherwise.

          Pretty hard to prove a negative wouldn't you agree?

          I'm not sure what exactly you want me to do here,I've already proved that I didn't sit through the -20% depreciation(as you demanded in your first post).

    Can someone please explain, for a currency which wishes to be independent of government interference, why does its value drop every time one or the other government clamps down on crypto transactions.
    Lets accept it, the fluff coins by itself do not have any value, it is only as good as the network of users value it. So as long as we can use it to fulfill real life transactions it will have some value else its just a ponzi scheme where everyone is just buying & selling the coins. When the music stops, the ones holding the coins will not have any buyers and not much practical use.

        Bitcoin has lost AUD $300 billion in market capitalisation since 16 December.
        What makes today the turning point?

        Also, what is the "fair value" of Bitcoin? Call me a sceptic, but I still don't think it's worth AUD $130 billion.

        Is it even worth anything other than what some other poor schmuck is willing to pay for it?

          Fair value about $1K maybe less now with bitcoin cash that was split out.

          If investors are honest with themselves, what value would they put on it?
          Whatever it actually is, I sincerely doubt it's $100 billion. With all things considered, I doubt that figure is even close.

          If a company has a great business then they can find a financial backer or list on a stock market. They put their balls on the line and issue a prospectus and if they fail to deliver it's a class action and maybe director ban. Now they want to issue coins and fools are buying them.

    For those on Binance (or want to be) they have a 70% discount on their already cheap trading fees, now 0.03% until 24th February
    (Compare that to Coinspot 3%!!)

    It's a sweetener after the 12+ hours unscheduled maintenance.

    I've checked after it came back and my funds/coins are in my account, but of course in all things Crypto there are risks, but pretty good deal if you are trading.
