Hey guys, I know many of you are not devs, and I myself am only a novice, but how many of you actually think you know whats up? I've been in for a little over a year now. I've went through the full cycle from discovering Bitcoin, to alts, to eth, and then I got in to developing about 7 months ago. I've mined multiple coins and published multiple contracts to main and Ropsten. Im no genius but I have a good understanding of what Ethereum is. (As well as Chainlink if they come through) BCH and BTC started this bullshit and I have the majority in ETH now. I can see the claims from both BCore(BTC) and BCash(BCH). But I know if BTC takes off again it will decimate alts. But will it really this time?
My game plan here is that since BTC and BCH are not going to coesxist peacefully anytime soon, they will just compete with eachother. So Thats why I'm still heavy in ETH. Is this a Brainlet play? I know some of you more silent ones are the ones with the higher IQ. I believe that from December to here soon was the first sell off, and anyone with half a brain can see this is the bottom unless some huge black swan event happened.
I hope you arent heavy in ALTS, because whether BTC, BCH, or ETH have a next run they will bleed to all fuck.
>When you got in. >What you truly think your understanding level of this industry/technology is. (Don't be a Dunning Kruger retard) >What coin are you heaviest in.
>3 years a go sold eth then bought back in during heavy shilling >does anybody really understand this industry? You can be versed in pump and dump scams and the market itself yet be oblivious to the technology behind, or understand the technology behind and get justed in the markets, I understand eth, btc and a few shitcoins to an intermediate level, know what a distributed ledger is, smart contracts, etc, understand a bit of the issues things like smarts contracts face, scalability and business applications, the thing is can you really understand most shitcoins out there? The white papers of most are just conjectures you don’t know where the reality ends and fiction begins. >I’m in ETH longterm and ZIlliqa because it’s the only decentralised coin with a programming language and smart contracts besides eth, has a public tesnet with sharding. Making sharding work is what really sold it for me desu. Either way I’ve been in ZIlliqa for a long time so I’m not fussed about the recent dump, if I see btc making a serious move then I’ll sell my zil to buy back in cheaper a few days after, the way things look like right now I’m keeping my zil and eth.
Christopher Adams
Answer my damn thread and I'll have more.
Havent hear of Zil, will have to look into it. Thoughts on Link?
Been in the market for about two years. Background in finance so I know more about how the market works than the tech behind it. But I’ve done enough research to invest. I think this next run up will be focused more on which coins/tokens have the best tech which is why I moved most of my stack out of btc/eth (all I owned until around November). Largest holdings are omg, ven, eth, and btc in that order
Andrew Evans
Is this a boi, the bulge looks rather large. I’m concerned.
Regarding chainlink, I’m a believer. I’m not invested In it because as of right now even if they did have a working product there is very little use for it, blockchain main use right now is as speculative asset, the promise of real life applications must be accompanied with shilling, publicity, partnerships etc, you can expect chainlink to remain in that price range some time while shitcoins moon and crash. The reason I’m not invested in chainlink it’s becausd I’m waiting to be able to gauge if chainlink will be able to capitalise on the first mover advantage if business adopt blockchain solutions. Which might not even happen in a large scale for a long time.
Tl;dr Chainlink looks good, stays stinky, but will remain stinky for some time there is no reason to rush into it because it won’t noon anytime soon. You’d be better off profiting off shitcoins until they deliver enoug to show they will be able to connect offchain data with smart contracts.

your concerned im disturbed. an end with this nonsense 100 doge sharpie in the ass or gtfo
Joshua Long
Post benis Sell your eth and put your money in a mutual fund Or just buy some options if you like risk
Aiden Parker
>Is this a Brainlet play? I've probably went through the same period as you, dev and all. I'm 25% BTC & BCH (equal amounts, not 12.5% and 12.5%, but like 1 btc and 1 bch) 50% eth, and the rest is moonshots and shitcoins. BTC & BCH are tugging but one of them will prevail, and considering BCH is cheap as shit, it's easy to hedge yourself to BTC falling.
Lincoln Evans
Idk sweetie can I ask you if you look for making insane gains fast, or grow your net worth slow and steady?...
Austin Wilson
ah fuck I'm the brainlet
>When you got in. April 2017 >What you truly think your understanding level of this industry/technology is. (Don't be a Dunning Kruger retard) General knowledge and ethereum ponzi schemes >What coin are you heaviest in. ETH
Julian Sanchez
Cool dude I did something related but I'm also stacking dividends coins like bibox and neo

i'm not gay but that's a sexy girl ass for a trap
Henry Carter
She had a nice pussy. Does look like a big lump in that picture tho.
Okay so we are pretty much on the same page.
Work on your English there bud. She got a dick in the ass, not a sharpie. So you consider Ethereum to be less risky than Options?
Pretty much same holdings.
Ideally some short term money would be nice, but Long term is priority.
Also, I agree. I have like 200 bucks in it in some random paper wallet just in case i lost interest in crypto. They still have a lot of work to do tho.
Bentley Cox
I have no suggestion for short term because I gambled away my stack several times so I'm attached to long term projections and covering my with alternated income from renting and a business, as a girl just be careful of not blowing your cash on shit and u will be fine... Btw u r pretty hot I liked you...;)

Ian Powell
don't let the thread die post more
Carter Smith
Have you looked into any ICOs?
Ayden Allen
Brainlet here. I don't know shit I got in in december LINK and NEO are my biggest investments.
OP. do you really think we hit the bottom? why wouldn't we just bleed out to 3-4K? I mean crypto is a hoakes... the only real use for it has been for criminals on the darkweb. Also, the fomo and interest of normies is not there at this moment and might not be for years/months.

Feb 2014 Understanding level: High Heaviest in ETH -> BTC -> XRP -> TRX -> ADA -> XLM -> various DApp platforms

aug 2017. very little. know how to read, and mine. eos for now.
Do people really brush their teeth with that dildo like thing?

Parker Morgan
I don't actually believe you're a grill, OP. I just want to know why you would cover up the bobs but not the vagene.
Nicholas Morris
i dont give a shit about anything you just said. all i need to know is BTC XMR LINK ETH
Adam Lewis
Just fuck off already, Holy shit you're annoying. I'm seriously tired of the paid cashies fouling up every thread. At least Linkies and whatnot are organic shills. Ethereum is moving to PoS since PoW has NO FUTURE. There's NO scenario where Bch "wins". Just kys, for real.

I am unironically a lead software engineer at a top 100 internet company. My formal title is lead software engineer - distributed systems. Blockchain technology is vastly inferior to already existing distributed system technologies such as Spark, Hbase, etc. For actual good discussions about blockchain, check hackernews, not Jow Forums lol
Blake Murphy

Yeah, nice larp. Not even remotely the same though. Point me to an article about BFT etc in relation to Spark. If you don't understand even that much, you're a shit-tier junior making WordPress sites.

Wow damn. The thread is still up. nice job guys. Let me reply to everything and get a pic going.
Kevin Phillips
The problem with this mindset is that when LINK does put it all together, there is not going to be that much LINK available to buy. Better to buy and hold now and even buy more if it dips...which it really hasn't against ETH anyway since February.
Evan Edwards
I got in 2014. I use dapps quite a bit and have made a token on Ropsten. ETH is my core holding. No BTC for years. 75k LINK and 10k ANT. Everyone is sleeping on Aragon. They have more money than their market cap. Comfy AF.
Colton Rodriguez
I'll take it, thanks guys!
>revived
You should be just fine with those two. Id get some ETH tho cause its already accomplishing the things that made you buy NEO for the most part.
Some good picks there except TRX is a meme imo.
Something has been screaming at me to buy EOS lately, maybe I should listen to it.
Yup, it's been in the butt before too.
I'd say that's around where I am as well. More competent with the stuff than anyone around me for sure. That's how I know its still worth investing in.
Vagene was plenty covered to be acceptable pajeet.
The cult like behavior from both sides is what drove me to ETH.
Man, you really sound like you know what youre talking about user. Tell me more please.
Here's another one, not the best quality tho so sorry.
Engineers who lose themselves in the Byzantine Generals problem without any respect for currency economics may wallow in their shallow mental model.
The long-term trade value of any non-backed currency is overwhelmingly determined by the sellers of real goods and services committing to direct prices (as opposed to indirect exchange-rate-driven prices which prevent arbitrage recovery/correction).

Parker Cooper
lmao so moon when backed currencies do something benefiting for crypto? thats so vague
Brody Allen
Forget about the tech and consider what separates the trade value of USD vs that of BTC.
