Percentages

I don't understand. I bought Tron and it went up 50% from it's initial position, but then it dropped 25% and I was back to where I started.
How on earth does that work? It should of dropped 50% to go back to where I initially bought it.
Is this a crypto thing?

No it's a basic math thing

You can rise 300% but you can only fall 100% because then you're at zero

Goddamn brainlet

initial price 1$
Rises by 50%, now 1.50$
Drops by 50%, now 0.75$

That's stupid. A a fall of 50% should be right back where you started otherwise you can't measure progress properly

A fall of 50% will put you down 50% of whatever you are holding. If you went 50% from 1$ and now have 1.50$ then 50% down is 0.75$. That's how percentages work, at which age did you drop out of highschool?

Retard?

The fall from the top is from a different number you idiot. Hence the difference. What are you a nigger?

Ok. So when I buy tron and it was to go down 50%, would it require another 50% to go back up to where I started? Because you are saying that 50% up recquires less on the way down.
So if I go up from my position you're saying it takes a shorter amount down. So next week if it goes down, I need the same amount to come back up?
How is this calculated?
I didn't drop out of high school. I even went on to complete sociology at a local university.

You'd need +33%~ to return back to your initial investment after it dropped 50% from 1.50$
Then you will be back at 1$. You would need another 50% from that point to be back at 1.50$ (so a 88% increase).
When stuff goes down you need a lot more upwards momentum to break the decline than downwards momentum to break upwards trend.

>When stuff goes down you need a lot more upwards momentum to break the decline than downwards momentum to break upwards trend.
That's going to take a while wrap my head around.... Can't believe it's so technical.

im gonna fucking kill you faggot

>Not understanding %
The absolute state of Jow Forums LMAO

Man people are so brainwashed they think this is a stupid observation. They say you can only lose 100% but they don't question why that makes sense. It doesn't make sense. It's only that way because some sandniggers said so a couple thousand years ago.

wtf why?

jfc
>i have $100
>it goes up by half (50%)
>i now have $150
>i lose half of the $150 (down by 50%)
>i now have $75

percentages are not hard figures. they are ratios based on the current number, not the previous numbers.

if you have $400 and go up 100% (all of it), you would have $800. If you now have $800 and lose 100% (all of it) you have $0.

NO NO NO

It should be,
>$400 to $800 100%
>$800 to $400 100%
>$800 TO $0 200%

>worthless high school degree
>literal meme degree
>can't even do math
did you enjoy wasting all those years?

The ONLY reason you disagree is because you are brainwashed. The whole world is. This brainwashing is written into logic in all computers. And anyone who disagrees with "the laws of mathematics" gets called an idiot.

because they are idiots

How can I lose more than 100%? Thats literally everything. There is nothing more to lose.

>$1
>rises +50%=$1,50
>drops -25%= $1,125
This answer your question?

I do believe this is a troll thread. Yes sirree.

So in this case you'd have a 11,25% profitNo you can't lose more than 100% that user is a retard. Some people also say to me sometimes that something drops 300%, I say to them well then you're in debt. And then they get mad...

But what are they ratios of?
I need to understand this if I'm going to buy more tron. Because I don't want to buy tron to go down like 90% and enter some big downward trend only for me to need more upward momentum than what was originally needed for it to go back down in the first place. That's not a good position to be in.
Have I got that correct at least? That I'd need more percent increase for a drop?

the current number you are dealing with
they are fractions
0% is none of your current number
25% is 1 quarter of your current number
50% is half
100% is all

what you paid originally doesnt matter, only how much you have right now.
have you never bought anything on sale? 25% off? how the fuck is this new to you?

and if tron goes down 90% and you didn't get out before it went that low you deserve everything

Its basic math desu, if you seriously can't do this most basic of maths you should really consider if this is something that you're up for. I mean it.

the ratios are determined by current value, start simple, think of discounts. A shop is selling a radio at 100$, they raise the price to 200$ and give you a 50% discount, how much are you paying?

You would need a 10x to recover from a 90% drop. So 1000% rise.

You are overcomplicating it

I can only imagine what a mess is in your head trying to figure this shit out and it makes me chuckle

Ooooooooh.... fuck... ok... so ... it's from the current number.
So if I go up a half from 2, a half of 2 is 1 and 2+1 is 3, then I am at 3 and then if I drop half from 3 than I'm back at 1 and a half because a half of 3 is 1 and a half and 3 minus 1 and a half is 1 and a half.
Far out that makes so much sense.
I was told tron is the real deal. It's a chinese coin that's going to be used to create the next internet. These coins are going to be this so called "virtual database" of the new internet where data just flows really fast. This is my chance.

Jow Forums

Somebody screencap this thread holy shit

this is one of the dumbest threads we've ever had

It is, but it assumes your principal is 400 dollars and any multiple of 400 dollars is 100%. This is true going up but going down doesn't care about your initial amount, just the amount you were at when you started going down. If I am at 800 dollars and lose 100%, how the fuck is anyone supposed to know my initial was 200 and now I'm at 600 dollars? If you're counting your losses as a percentage of your initial investment, it's whatever the fuck you want. But it's not the figure they use when they say "[value] went down by X%". If people said "went down by X% of initial" then you could get values over 100%.

make a spreadsheet and calculate the percentage on your initial investment. Done.

>virtual database
Any database is virtual since its all done buy computers, if you're talking about distributed databases, thats not blockchain, that's just an inefficient way to store data.

The thing that makes blockchain, blockchain is being trustless, like how BTC relies on math. Anything that isn't trustless and still claims to be blockchain is a distributed database, which architectually doesn't make sense and is a fucking nightmare.

As for China, China is a scam paradise, now maybe TRX is legit but the general culture in China is that of scams and tricking foreign investors which Chinese gov doesn't care about.

>Next internet
lmfao, stop listening to internet trolls and do your own research. If you can't do math and can't do research for yourself (thinking for yourself) you should quit right now. And this is honest advice because people like you are going to lose all of their money in this space.

I only understand 10000% and 0%

>Ooooooooh.... fuck... ok... so ... it's from the current number.
>Far out that makes so much sense.

kys

So many questions to get too

Subtle tron fud

Are you a troll or are you some newfag that seriously doesn't know a shit about anything? I find it hard to imagine someone is this clueless.

Is tron good? Because my friend bought heaps of tron early January and then the price dopped heaps but he says it's ok because everything dropped.
But the tron platform is going to revolutionise everything. It's big technology man. I was give the whitepaper to read, and I couldn't even understand it because of how technical it was.
I'd like to know if tron isn't what it's made to be.

This is way better than Tron easy 10000x theaccountingblockchain.io/?aId=7543845-2892534

>Ok. So when I buy Tron...
The absolute state..

You should probably get the fuck off this website.

No, I wouldn't buy Tron unless I have a short term exit and some profits to chase. It is not a long term hold. If you are new to this start off by holding a 50/50 portfolio with ETH + BTC. Then actually spend time researching the fundamentals and teams behind coins. Personal tip would be to keep 30-50% in ETH/BTC and diversify into 5-7 other coins (ARK, ZEN, ZEC, BAT, ZRX, MANA, ETC - would be my choice). But its up to you DYOR. Tron is too risky and probably vapor ware. Not sure why I am actually helping you, I am 80% sure that you're trolling.

Negro, ditch tron and buy chainlink (link)
Its on binance and it is solving the oracle problem, it is the real deal and its going to make Jason Parser look like an idiot

Jason Parser could solve the Oracle problem on his on, don't even need link as long as you can trust the APIs anyhow.

its not a crypto thing when stupid fucks like yours truly throws money into the trash

look at the design of trons project www.game.com

look at the website you stupid stupid fuck

go ahead and invest in china junk

Some of you guys are so angry, I just don't understand your problems. I don't think I'll ask questions here again and might have to talk to my friend about this.
Anyway ... Thanks to all those who helped me understand what the percentages mean. I don't know whether I'll put more money into tron.
All I can say is that it took me a few goes at some of the courses at university but I eventually got there... and I think I'll do the same with Tron. Might need a few goes at it, because I really want to be part of the new internet.
Thank and good bye

Here is how ChainLink stacks up fynestuff.com/chainlink-vs-decentralized-oracles-analysis/

No user, Jason Parser is a fucking boomer and his way is that of a dinosaur

Embrace the new teh or die in obscurity

Are you trolling

I read it.
>Imagine you’re using a ChainLink query to run a fantasy football team platform. After a football match the data coming from some of the oracles regarding the result is different, and there’s a huge discrepancy in scores.

Why on Earth would this happen? they posit a hypothetical non-problem that they solve with chainlink.

>it has a bunch of other stuff to do with nodes I guess, and somehow that makes it safer or better
>"ChainLink suddenly doesn’t seem like just a JSON parser."

It's just a json parser

Hey I totally believe this is totally real and will respond in a seriousness.
On an unrelated note I was just diagnosed with a profound case of autism.

>part of the new internet
>by owning tron
You must be some advanced kind of retard.

Checked but you're biting bait

>Some of you guys are so angry, I just don't understand your problems. I don't think I'll ask questions here again and might have to talk to my friend about this.

If your friend is from Jow Forums and you told him you came here asking why 100% down puts you to zero money, he will know exactly how incredibly dumb you sound. I hope you weren't referred here. This is not a "beginner, everyone helps out! :)" website OR topic. This question is such a simple concept that people are convinced you are wasting their time on purpose.

>Tron
>Don't understand basic maths
Top b8 OP, 10/10 nice job I'm fucking crying reading all the fags who bite trying to honestly explain it for you

please kill yourself

this anons, is your avg tron investor

>Jow Forums - business and finance

You remind me of that "I can't just press the sell button" guy. Better be bait.

dice nigets, edgelord!

(by the way I think you're right. I hope to God..)

tell this story please? I don't visit Jow Forums often because if I did I'd scare myself out of good money all day. Never saw the "I can't just press.." thread.

It benefits everyone here to not tell you how to make money so...

And so survival of the fittest became a joke in the human species

10/10 bait thread
