It's exactly as it works. As long as people are pumping cash into the Crypto currencies there's the short termers who know exactly how to play the system and just keep buying at the low point and then selling a week later, as long as they are making 20-30% gain they are making money each week.

Even more embarrasing would be the lower spec variants of the VF in HSV's stable getting whopped by a factory XR8.

I put $20 in the pokies 2 weeks ago when I went to the pub with my brother for his birthday. I won $497

Wait for Monday and Tuesday, then we will know if the quick buy/sell trend has ended and the prices have stabilized.

Why not!

How come you cashed out? You bought at a reasonable price anyway didn't you?

Wow Ripple has gone off the charts! Look at some of those buys! $230,000 and a few other big ones, plus heaps of decent $30,000+ ones.

Not really, i bought for A$1.50 when it dropped from 1.70 around aus day. Exchanged it to btc today around 1.30 but since btc is a bit better now and i ll need btc in binance i would say i realised a big fat zero but at least not a big loss. Funnily enough it is around 1.50 now 50% jump in a day is unusual I may expect some correction...
