This bear market has me bored as hell, and I've got some time to kill in the office today.
For some background, I've been in crypto and since 2012, and have a decorated background in STEM. I've made a killing mining Ethereum since the early days where it was being shilled on Jow Forums, and since then, I've found myself advising and investing in crypto projects full time.
I have an active team of autists I hired that monitors market manipulation, and I am in some of the important old-timer whale telegram groups like Satori and Minerva.
AMA.
Note: Before anyone asks, I am 80% consolidated into BTC right now, and most of the remaining 20% of my assets are locked in ICOs that have not dispersed my tokens yet.
I have a small stack of a couple dozen BTC waiting on the Mex waiting to DCA margin towards the direction of the ETF decision this week.
Thoughts on the whale absorbing the huge sell volume on 'finex the past few days?
Asher Martin
so you had good job prospects and you still got rich with the cryptos?
Carson Taylor
What's gonna happen cryptoboomer? Tell us what's coming in 2020
Josiah Myers
There are hidden buys and sells at all levels. What the market operator typically does is dump enough that he breaches a critical level of support (usually a fib line), and has algorithms snipe sells below that level.
If supply momentum is maintained at a certain velocity, the algorithm halts and automatically rebids lower. I'm big but I don't have the bankroll to move the price at will like this, however I've used variations of this to great success to accumulate.
Aaron Roberts
My question was more why was he doing it? What does he know?
Noah Gonzalez
Yup.
Fun fact, if you've been in the space long enough, you learn to pick out other whales at conferences. We're usually nerdy 30-year old boomer IT types dressed casually side-eyeing all the low level wall street workers come dressed stiffly in suits.
Eli White
>I've found myself advising and investing in crypto projects full time Well, it would be a shame if not disclosing such conflicts of interest would not be illegal in your jurisdiction. Wopsie, it is almost everywhere.
Prepare for the fist, because the fisting in inevitable in the next couple of years.

Thomas Gomez
Are we going bull end of this year or what.
Alts like Zilliqa yes or no? Should I wait till btc pumps?
Lol, institutional money has been nuts deep in crypto as early as January. CME group futures are almost 100% short right now and retail doesn't have fingers in that. Huge players can't really buy big lots without driving the price up, so the best they do is create shakeouts at a level they're 'happy' with (like the 6311 line yesterday) and catch the panic selling.
Protip: This objective is why we've been getting 'bartcharts'
Lincoln Clark
hey fag what alts do u expect to survive the bear season? looking to maximize my ROI , just holding btc rn
Anthony Morales
Have you heard if block collider?
Alexander Ramirez
Anyone with half a brain is sidelined (unleveraged) in BTC on Finex an/or Mex right now. ETF rejections have historically been massive market bear catalysts (-15%-25% in a week) and you bet that we're entering a bull run on approval.
The first dapp platform with a scalable high throughput blockchain is likely going to catch massive valuations. There are better team/tech/adoption projects on CMC than Zilliqa right now, but Zilliqa has the most hype.
I'm not here to shill my bags though.
No, but I do believe they are overmarketed though.
Whale and comms engineering consensus is that all decentralized internet coins are vaporware for at least 7 years.
David Peterson
How likely is approval for proshares on 8/23?
Jack Hall
I thought I did my research well, and went balls deep into Zilliqa, any coin I should research along these lines?
Christian Robinson
Every alt with an active tech team that is either already loaded or managed to cash out eth above $500 for payroll should come out just fine.
Truly decentralized PoW coins with open source dev communities should be fine also.
For the monopoly token projects, check their ICO wallets, apply the Howey test, and follow the money.
There is a top 20 market maker actively pump and dumping Chainlink on bizlets.
If Chainlink solves the decentralized oracle problem, it will be worth an absurd amount of money.
I have a stack split between a bunch of wallets, but anyone who is deep into chainlink has 0 concept of risk management.
Too many.
Ethan Long
What do you think of NANO?
Levi Smith
What's your prediction for end of year price BTC?
Logan Ward
Move maybe 0.25 btc of it to mex and dollar cost average towards the direction of the ETF catalyst using cross the minute it hits. TAKE PROFITS and do not go over 20x leverage
what kind of tokens do you bet on? sec, infrastructure, dapps?
Aiden Johnson
Does anyone care about NEO ONT or ELA
John Myers
It was a grand scale pump and dump campaign orchestrated on Redditors. It has adoption and successfully applies its use case of value transfer, but it is only good for value transfer and succeeds at its goal whether nano is 0.10 or $100. I won't ever touch it with a 10 foot pole.
$40k-50k with ETF approval.
3k-5k with a string of rejections.
We will see >$25k again as long as BTC is the most liquid trading pair for innovative tokenized asset projects like the 1/4 of binance that doesn't consist of shitcoins.
Xavier Smith
thoughts on eth wise one? will we see it got past 1k again this year?
Grayson Bailey
Breh biz won’t make a dent in your accumulation process, in preparing best I can for next bull run don’t want to be stuck forever working for mr shekelstain
Jose Reyes
Will an ETF get approved in 2018?
Chase Gonzalez
>but it is only good for value transfer what do you think crypto is about? fucking dapps? fuck your shit thread, brainlet
Jayden Anderson
Smart contracts?
Alexander Hughes
The next halvening is in 2020, and the market manipulators will definitely pump off that news.
When you own more than 0.1% of a coin, you start to run into serious slippage and liquidity issues so I have my fingers pretty wide. I look for strong token economics and low valuations when making bets, because first mover advantage is a meme in tech and second mover + fixing first mover mistakes is more important.
I've invested in the ICX ico and took profit before the January conference because its valuation was absurd.
I used to be really bullish on the ecosystem, but Da Hongfei has kind of turned me off with his ADHD
He's been bizdevving a little too much for ONT and neglecting NEO for my taste. It only makes me think "what are you gonna do when you get bored of ONT too?"
Try to catch him IRL and you'll understand..
Gavin Martin
>1/4 of binance not shitcoins you are far too generous sir
When are XRP, EOS and every other scams going to die?
Jose Ortiz
Thoughts on OMG at current price? Every estimate scenario I run shows a return of greater than 2 usd per token per year.
Jonathan Garcia
does the price of btc follow the spot exchanges or the mex?
Easton Evans
If start doing ICOs again with good, sensible regulation (kek) it will moon like crazy.
Lol I know how Jow Forums will react if they see this autistic ass site and team.
EOS if/when the US guvment gets on their case.
XRP is probably here to stay
Joseph Cruz
The price of BTC goes where the market operators want to move it to take profit or accumulate. This will change when volume returns but for now, these guys can move it at will.
It isn't a bad r/r at all at current prices
Ian Gutierrez
Have you heard of Matrix AI project? I saw a post on biz here about it, about 50k tps.
Isnt it funny that anyone can be larping but you always get a good vibe about certain people in this case OP
Luis Moore
I believe this is no larp. Any general advice OP?
Daniel Adams
If I post your old thread will you give me an interview? :D
Blake Roberts
Nice LARP. ETF news has nothing to do with the upcoming price movement. This ETF isn't even a bullish catalyst, CME futures don't move the spot market.
Juan Foster
Thoughts on Xspec, Mr. C?
Noah Hall
Personally I've stopped caring about whether or not things are larps or not on Jow Forums, because there's no way to know. Pay attention to what they say and how they say it. That alone will give you information about the quality of the individual posting. Then do your own research and see if the info checks out.
VEN, WTC, AMB, TRAC, MRPH, all of them are absolute shitshows or overvalued right now.
Tor integration will be critical towards its future, as Alphabay has driven most of the valuation on Monero. There are literally thousands of privacy coins competing with each other on bitcointalk and adoption is going to determine the ones who survive.
I have 'em watchlisted but they haven't really piqued my interest yet.
>Honestly it's hard to lose entering in this market.
inb4 "not the same trip".
Lucas Martin
are Teekas PBC picks just a PnD
Michael King
Mr.C. what are your honest thoughts on projects like trxp. They acquired bittorrent, amongst others. I don't expect anything coming out of this for at least 5 years
Mason Lewis
are any of your fav. projects getting shilled on biz? I have a feeling none of them are.
What use case are you most bullish on and will disrupt their industry? finance, supply chains?
Angel Clark
Hello Mr. C,
do you think ICX will ever make a comeback?
Ryan Flores
R/R isn't bad at 28 mil, unfortunately I think they may still have further to fall in a continued bear market.
JNT has a great idea, positioning, and use case. Atrocious marketing.
Coinmetro has the best exchange token economics I've ever seen on a whitepaper but they STILL can't get theirshit together.
Joshua Reed
Also, is being a crypto whale the best life? I would assume being rich, shitposting, and being in crypto 24/7 is fun as fuck.
Us bizlets do that minus the rich part. That would just make it more fun.
Thoughts on Enigma? It appears to me as a Monero for smart contracts. But I'm a newfag, so I'm interested in the opinion of someone who was in the crypto space longer than me
In the long run yeah, they're imploding right now because they don't have bullish catalysts being put out in a maximum fear climate
Jaxson Phillips
KMD or ZRX?
Lucas Martin
OP, in your opinion, will the ETF get approved?
Hudson Ortiz
Do you have any vacancies? I need a job. I've pretty much spent the last year and a half non-stop reading about crypto so I could be useful to you.
Caleb Howard
Link is indeed risky, but very rewarding if they succeed. Since i'm a student, my portfolio is
Blake Hall
I saw an article saying Jeju island could become an ICO hub. I feel like the market doesn't give a shit about ICOs anymore, so do you think this will be a bullish catalyst.
t. ICX bagholder who bought day 1 on binance and still holding (fuck everything)
How did you learn how to take profits and not be a retarded bagholder? I think this market cycle has taught me not to baghold these coins. Is it just a matter of experience, so next cycle I will not be a faggot and be able to sell this shit.
hello mr. c let's say i'm just about to start putting little money into cryptos each month. would it be smart to dca eth or should i go for neo regarding all the gas i might earn until 2020?
Caleb Collins
>have a decorated background in STEM did you do anything meaningful and do you miss it?
Nicholas Cooper
All of the above
The three ETFs with decision deadlines by September (ProShares, Direxion, Graniteshares) are all essentially the same: funds that will track the CBOE/CME futures and primarily trade those.
The submission notices as listed on the SEC website look exactly the same and were probably written by the same lawyer.
Whichever way the ProShares one goes this week will likely indicate what the other two do. I think there's a slim chance they get approved because CME and CBOE are averaging 30k daily volume, but I'm not taking the risk
Brody Nguyen
yawn faggot. kys.
Benjamin Sanchez
what do you think of NANO?
Carson Hall
Hi OP. What is your honest opinion about IOTA?
Thomas Gomez
A little, and let's just say I'm involved in a very obvious use case of blockchain tech in science and engineering.
I mean if you have to pick between the two, go with ETH, but if your bags are small you should bet on 1-3
Sebastian Adams
he already told that its shit
Justin Russell
Spaghetti code
Hunter White
You are blatantly the same person but I don't care, this is better than shitty forced memes anyway. Dunno why you changed irrelevant details though, did you forget to bookmark the last thread? kek
Thoughts on TRON? Looks like they will dominate the chinese market.
Jace Hughes
What would happen if a token which is used for global investments gets FINRA approved?
Caleb Anderson
Do you legitimately see any reason to be in any alts at all until we're deep into a new confirmed bull run? I've been thinking consolidating all in BTC until it breaks 20k again. Sure I might lose out on some early alt gains but on the flip side we might be bear for another whole year or two, and so long as we are I fully expect alts to keep shitting blood every time bitcoin barts up or down more than $100 at a time.
But I'm worried that I'm basically falling prey to the market stages meme chart when I think like this, "alts have been shitting themselves for 6 months so they'll keep doing this forever now" maximum depression thinking. Don't know what to think.
