A couple of fairly marked declines in big names over the last quarter, notably Litecoin and Cardano. I’ve no exposure to either, besides setting a couple of alerts if they really start tanking (to consider buying, then).
Pondering what happens when a fading currency can’t be mopped up like a share takeover. |

I bought $20 of Bitcoin last week and immediately the price went down; stayed down. Who’d have thought I could influence a global marketplace for twenty bucks?

I knew there was a reason for the drop in price. It is lucky you didn't buy $100.00

(Source) Interesting times. I’m wondering why the sudden heavy selling-off, as again it seems to reflect concerns that should - surely - be less applicable to decentralised currencies. Last edited by Citroënbender; 10-05-2022 at 04:44 AM. |

my theory:
the big increase in institutional investors over the last few years have brought along old thinking with them. you'll see the US stock markets are trending the same way. 'they' need to realise there's no reason for crypto market to follow the stock market, it's not driven by the same factors. but one big sell off will spook the rest as we've seen. still it's far from bad news, it's only down to 2021 levels.

Yep, huge drop around 10am today, only for it to regain some soon after.

There is still approx 29% of Luna still staked in TerraStation.
It was up near 40% yesterday. It takes 21days to unstake before you can sell them so that will be all that might stop it dying. What a mess.

Yes, I am holding on until the lights get switched off at zero.
It is a shame. TerraStation was so easy to use. I will use it as my reminder to take profits.

Commiserations to you and BA-XT for the Luna losses. You’ve openly shared the experience, no whitewashing; can respect that.

What did you pick up?
I have money in about 8 other coins which most of them i consider crap coins now. It is funny how I considered Luna to be one of the good ones but it tanked 1st. Surely the bottom is in now. How much lower can we go.

Today, tomorrow will be interesting; share market jitters in the US are seeing some crypto suffer.
Gut feeling remains that crypto generally is heading for a shakedown and many small value coins/tokens will reduce to effectively zero; a near mirror of metals markets. As a semi-related note, there seems growing scrutiny of the ongoing “value” of NFTs. |

Don't say that, I am all in on VeVe NFTs & their OMI Token.
I am hoping that because they are using licensed IP's like Marvel, Disney, DC, Star Wars ect that they will hold some value when they go main stream. All of the their NFT's are in AR and you can place them in your room through your phone or AR Glasses. I really like the Marvel Comics which are in AR also. As usual I am already kicking myself as the 1st Marvel Comic on the Block Chain, Marvel Comics #1 was sitting at $5.00 after launch and I only bought 1. Should have stacked 20 of them. They went up to about $700 at one point, but are now $150 If you are into collectable NFT's that are mainstream brands check them out.

I was glad I didn't buy any the first time it "died", and the second time it "died", and the third time it "died", and the fourth time it "died".
Nw I'm happy I finally bought some a while after the sixth or seventh time it "died", and only wish I'd bought some sooner. If BTC gets below AU$5k then I'll regret my purchase (have stop-loss above that but will regret opportunity cost) - meanwhile I'm glad I bought what you didn't. My regret is not selling some above AU$90k, had sell orders laddered from AU$95k upward. The last time it "died" in January 2018, the people that bought the top got in at AU$29k and saw it go to around AU$7k. They had a rough crypto winter but even now they are still 25% up. Of course those that got in a top of this cycle above AU$90k won't be feeling too comfortable being bit over 50% down, but if cycle repeats again then their time will come. I get that cycles repeat until they don't, but I watched at least 5 cycles before committing, and definitely did not go balls in as I followed the golden rule of only putting in what you can afford to lose. If you follow that rule then any regret would be very minor. Funny thing is I had you pegged as someone that would be into crypto through being anti-establishment / anti-state...but now I see if you were in then about now you'd be wanting to speak to crypto's manager.

I am glad I did, made 96% pure profit in six hours yesterday. Not a bad return for three clicks of the mouse.
People work decades for that sort of profit. Hence me having a relaxing day at home today and tomorrow and likely the rest of the week ![]()

Have always been amused by prima donnas who reckon they are doing something that will make them rich quick. without doing any work. And yep...someone does...the one who lays the first block in the pyramid scheme... ![]() The difference these days they gote a bit more clever...don't rape them too hard the first time..have them coming back for more...maybe 6 waves..then have them brag about how much they just made. A bit like the pokie player who tells you about the big win...but not the preamble of thousands of losses.
