I and a few others said that pull back the other week was an ideal time to get in. Just dca if you worried, you never going to find the bottom. You will just be waiting and waiting and probably but the top this cycle. You could even basket a few of the good coins like eth, vet etc You will feel better for doing it Last weeks pullback could be the last stop before 100k.

longgone Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 10 hours ago, MonsieurCopperCrutch said: I can see this myself. And it happening sooner than many think. Bitcoin will eventually hit '$1 million a coin,' CoinDesk editor predicts As investor interest in cryptocurrency spikes, bitcoin could rise to $1 million over the next five years, one expert told Yahoo Finance Live. “Bitcoin is going to $1 million a coin,” CoinDesk Learn Editor Ollie Leech said. “I actually believe that it will, at some stage, with just the scarcity aspect alone, it makes it an incredibly exciting asset to hold... Bitcoin is uncontested.” The timing of bitcoin crossing $1 million is the big question. Leech says the next bitcoin halving — a key technical event when the amount of bitcoins awarded to miners is cut in half— is set to take place in 2024, and that will likely trigger a massive price surge. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-will-eventually-hit-1-million-dollars-a-coin-coin-desk-editor-predicts-172810294.html If daddy chitcoin can get to $1m Junior chitcoins can get to $1 Own 1 daddy dumpcoin or millions of junior poos 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it goes to zero, dang I have lost me a grand, boo hoo. If it goes to a million then boom: Retirement, cars, boats, houses Happy to gamble a bit on that! Someone on this site actually sold it to me by asking us to think that if Bitcoin got to a small percentage (less than 1% IIRC) of the global economy or US GDP or something like that then each coin would be worth £1m. Doesn't seem too far fetched now, and it wasn't a huge stretch of the imagination back then either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save me from the madness! Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 The thing is, $1M bitcoin is only 20x from here, so for new people getting in, that's a lovely gain, but unlikely to be retiring early and living the high life, but I feel some alt coins have far higher potential - attractive use cases which offer massive value above pure money, things like global supply chain and logistics management, video streaming service, and then there are others which provide far more possibility for decentralised finance which in under a minute can do more transactions then bitcoin can in an entire day. I wouldn't bet against bitcoin, but I do wonder if its continued demand and price is more a momentum and branding thing (not that these things should be dismissed), rather then it actually providing the real value its being sold for, but I'm new here and I'm sure there's lots I don't know about / understand despite my efforts to change this.

I agree there's a lot of coins out there which seems to be blockchain for blockchain sake and I scratch my head at and wonder what's going on, but a couple I've come across I've been impressed with, and there are actual big companies using them and investing big money. I agree given the number of coins, however you cut it, even the most optimistic alt coin fan would have to admit the majority seem questionable. I think I remember you've mentioned you have bought some ETH so perhaps you've seen other ones that also look good too? Anyway, still learning over here.

I’d love to be able to suggest some cheap coin with real potential but I just don’t follow them closely enough now. I bought and traded a few back in 2015 during the mania and struck it lucky with ETH. I since realised that it was easier and simpler to just hodl the daddies BTC and ETH. Remember I’ve hodled for 8 years but still see massive potential in these two daddies for anyone starting out today. You just need to be realistic and patient for your own moon. Best of luck.

Save me from the madness! Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 @MonsieurCopperCrutch Dentacoin still going strong it seems, 561st biggest crypto coin, rose 11% today! Possibly to buy nearly 10,000 of them for just $1, now that's what I call value! 🤣 Joking aside though, it has 10x since February, and at it's peak had 20x so maybe it should be me that dentacoin is laughing at!

When I was young and a friend moved away from our area, we exchanged postal letters to keep in touch. When we both ended up at university, we got email addressed and never sent a postal mail again. It was entirely obvious instantly what problem it was solving. I've yet to have someone point out to me a proper problem that DeFi solves in my life, so I don't understand where the value of the alt-coins comes in. On the other hand, bitcoin might solve the problem of making me rich, so that's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alts are gash You have no clue. You knocked vechain at 0.004 now 0.24 and they have been used on a daily bases (millions of transactions) by Walmart, BYD (Chinese electric car) h and m, Shanghai gas, PWC, lvmh to name a few. Trust is a big issue and solves most of these issues. We are so trusting of what we buy, this solves it. You have to think as a venture capitalist, most startups fails but real gems go up hugely. It's easy to shout out scam or pump and dumps, but some alts really solve issues. They aren't competing with btc. The gaming alts are very interesting, pyr, buying your own land in game, charging ppl to use it. As a nft you can transfer this to anyone and any in game tools you buy. Imagine renting out your weapons or renting your game level. Gamers are loving this, this is their world. It's not a btc vs alts. Maybe if you did any research rather you could see value in some.
