- How could there not be a massive sell off when the value doubles overnight?sarahfailin
- Exactly. Especially on something valued only by how many people want it and nothing more.monospaced

Meanwhile I've spent the last few evenings perusing 'shit' on Alibaba and working out what the mark up would be on items I sold over here in Londonistan.
It's the same fundamentals as Bitcoin - cheap Chinese energy converted into valueSomethings and exchanged for Western $H£K£L - except there're actual somethings for the money.
I might take the plunge - I've been wanting to dip my toe in Chinese tat trading for a while now.
- tat trading?sarahfailin
- Well, not quite tat, I'm just being self-consciously dismissive... .detritus
- There's something I want for myself that I've priced up retail here, and making here - i found cheaper versions for both ops on AliBaba, which I could modifydetritus
- have you had any issues dropshipping?Gnash
- Bitcoin keyrings?shapesalad
- Oh, I've not even started yet - and I wouldn't be drop-shipping, more direct reselling after modifying.detritus
- I recently caught a client out who used the alarmbell term "start up" in relation to their small biz - they had some obvious gaps in knowledge ...detritus
- ...which prompted me to search on Alibaba for the 'unique handmade items' they were claiming to make here, and lo, there they were. At very low prices.detritus
- I was at first bemused by their chutzpah and then niggled by the thought "well, if they can, why can't I?". I just wouldn't ever refer to myself as a 'startup'.detritus
- The other alarmbell term in emails is when people refer to themselves as an 'entrepreneur'. "Aye, lass, I'm sure you think that. Ya spoilt shmuck".detritus
- Oh, and 'Atelier'. If I had a penny for every spoilt rich-parented daughter who'd started an 'atelier' on the flimsiest of concepts, I'd have.. ooh, about 20p.detritus
- I got things dropshipped from Aliexpress to Amazon for a couple of months. It was definitely profitable until couple of sellers setn wrong items or shipped lateBeeswax
- and Amazon blocked my account, That was the end of my adventure.Beeswax
- How are you going to know what sells before placing bulk orders? Because I sold over 20 items and most unexpected ones were the best sellers like flower potsBeeswax
- Well, I won't! :) I know that I want one and that there's a market for them here, and i can minimum order at not too high a number. Beyond that, it's all beliefdetritus

The irony here is off the charts. Here's a bank denying you the right to spend your own money.
- cryptocurrency is NOT money tho! LOL!chukkaphob
- probably due to folks buying bitcoins via credit cards, bitcoin halves in value, bank tired of defaulters.shapesalad
- that toochukkaphob
- lol, my bank won't accept my monopoly money or my beanie baby collection as collateral!monospaced
- ^ right? LOLchukkaphob
- It's YOUR money. You're ok with a bank censoring what you're allowed to spend your own money on?! That's ridiculous. The balls on these bastards ...ridg0026
- Take note that its not just credit cards either, which I concede is within their rights to do. But debit cards? Overreach is an understatement.ridg0026
- credit is their money, however blocking debit transactions is not cooldrgs
- Making it harder for skimmed cards to get drained. Probably a good thing.monNom
- Many banks blocks crypto now. Cuz people are losing shit tons of money by going blind into a non-sense thing they have no idea about.Bennn

I lost 85,6% of my initial investment!
Cryptoz are shit!
- Sorry man, I hate that feelingMondoMorphic
- How much in $$ is all your investment?********
- Not much. I was testing and learning about Crypto. Less than 500$ I'll let it all sleep and hope it goes back up one day, and over 500$ ..Bennn
- Sure thing, I'll never play with Crypto again, its all shit. Its litterally a lottery.Bennn
- well... you bought at all time high, pretty much the worst time to buy.dyspl

My wager: cryptocurrencies will be close to where they were at their peak again by the end of this year. Then they will crash again down to about 10-20% above where they are now.
It peaks and declines but is following a gradual trendline upwards. as more and more companies and individuals find use and value in it, total crypto market cap will continue to increase
- why would all cryptos move up? just because?monospaced
- The rise so far has nothing to do with companies finding any use for cryptos. At all. Not even a little.monospaced
- the total market cap of all cryptos has a strong upward trend over its entire existence. whether it's bitcoin or other, more ppl are putting more $ in crypsarahfailin
- why have cryptos been rising (and crashing) for the last 8 years? i dont know, i might even agree all of it is useless, but its still a way to make moneydrgs
- Doubt it. Rise before was based on the global coverage and fools jumping in.shapesalad
- There's a limited # of people into crypto's = limit total amount of capital to invest. Each month new ICO / coins = capital spread thinlyshapesalad
- + people have been burnt on last years hyped rise = bitcoin etc not likely for a long time to reach least years peak.shapesalad
- not saying it won't retrace a bit, bit won't go past the peak level of last year. Would need a different element to do that. War perhaps.shapesalad
- This trend line would reach the highest historical market capitalization amount (so far) in just 2 years ;)sarahfailin

up from 12 to 25% on the top 3 currencies since yesterday... Bennn tell me you sold everything yesterday :)
- I wont touch shit 'till I triple up m8Bennn
- It’s just people buying low. It’s not based on anything but demand. Lol.monospaced
- you mean, like anything else? you seem to be happy paying apple product for way more than they're worth for exemple...:)dyspl
- you say that based on what exactly?monospaced
- My AAPL investments have been great to me, and it's based on actual performance of a real company, not the equivalent of monopoly money, like cryptomonospaced
- my point is that if you believe that traditional trading is any less of a gambling you're in for some surprise.dyspl
- speaking of apple, its performance has a company is not in correlation with its product performance butdyspl
- the irrational afect people have with apple stuff. so if you think about it the share price is not backed by much more than people belief.dyspl
- predictable mono with the fud.inteliboy
- fud? I think not. Smart investing and dumping money into crypto are very different and you can’t argue otherwise without sounding naive.monospaced
- cryptos aren’t a business, so it’s not really comparable like you’re attempting to make them out to bemonospaced
- And if you think aapl performance is just because of a perception over product then you truly are either naive or purely ignorant.monospaced
- Ironically, it’s the cryptos that have no real value beyond a perception, but go ahead and keep that pyramid tall, happy at the bottom of it all :)monospaced
- Fact is, aapl stock is undervalued and there’s hard evidence for that which is easily quantified. You can’t say that about crypto with any confidence. LOL!!!monospaced
- you kind of missed my point mono, but hey don't hesitate to call me naive or ignorant at any given time.dyspl
- all of the above said is true, but why care? get the money while getting is gooddrgs
- I didn’t miss your point.monospaced
- There’s no way to predict a crypto rise.monospaced

Bitcoin’s dog days are over, says one of the biggest cryptocurrency hedge funds.
Pantera Capital Management, which has more than $800 million in assets, says $6,500 was the low of this bear market and Bitcoin will stay above that price for the majority of the next year, likely surpassing the previous record of almost $20,000, according to a note sent to investors Thursday.
- dyspl5
Mono, I'm going to make my point a bit more clear, so you get it and don't feel the need to be condescending : your no fucking Georges soros.
You're just a regular guy who puts some of his money in companies shares, and that's all there is to it, calling it "smart investment" like it's a sure thing is foolish.
Remember 2007?
I'm not saying crypto is a sure thing, far from it, I'm just saying you play the same guessing game.You're like a guy betting on horses, who thinks it's a sure thing as he has a "system", dissing people playing roulette.
- lol, right okay. okay sorry about condescending. you did start making fun of me and I got a bit defensive.monospaced
- have fun getting rich, I wish you best of luck with your predictions and outlook. LOL amazingmonospaced
- Dude, where did you read I was planning on getting rich? Telle me where I wrote that.dyspl
- Want to know what I consider "smart investment" as a designer? Learn new software, keep getting better at your trade.dyspl
- Want to make money? Work your ass off, take extra freelance.dyspl
- "Investing" at our level and yours, is just another hobby. You play with your money, and that's it.dyspl
- I wasn't, I'm just having fun. Relax :)monospaced
- FYI, my "smart" investing over the last 25 years got me through the 2008 crisis perfectly fine. It's not just a hobby, it's a huge part of my worth.monospaced
- All I'm saying is that crypto is not the same kind of investing as a long term managed fund with real companies. That's all. It's too volatile to be predictablemonospaced
- Investing with companies that publish yearly reports and prospectus' is NOT "betting on horses." it's WAY more secure than crypto, by any measuremonospaced
- @mono, out of interest how much have you got in Apple? A lot I presume if dividends are paying well. Just interested.fadein11
- not that much really, not enough to make dividends a big deal in the long run, but enough to use on a rainy day for something meaningfulmonospaced
- I think I had like 60k on apple stocks back in 2012. I would have to check online.pinkfloyd
- I'm too chicken to fuck with cryptos.monospaced
- I think people are making their money on short term currently, that's what I did after xmas, it was going up 30-40% a week (Ether). in out job. takes balls butfadein11
- you won't get returns like that anywhere else ever. the market is going up, great time to buy. but beware of the HODL (unless happy to wait years)fadein11
- but what do I know, I'm not complaining though :)fadein11
- who gives a fuck if its worthless when making $$$... its not trad investment. its risky and volatile, hence the potential rewards.fadein11
- also, I agree with everything dyspl sayspinkfloyd
- nothing he's saying or assuming about me is true, thoughmonospaced
- ^"have fun getting rich, I wish you best of luck with your predictions and outlook. LOL amazing" seems like you are the one assuming things :)dyspl
- check that thread, and point where I've put any prediction or shit like that. I haven't even posted on it until today.dyspl
- I was just joking about bennn freaking out, and you had to go on with your iamverysmart posture... that's all.dyspl
- lol, I already apologized for that, and recognized you didn't say thatmonospaced
- your schtick about my investments being only a gamble and not smart is simply not true, thoughmonospaced
- cryptos you can compare to the lottery more than a stock pickmonospaced
- investing in shares you basically sponsor and help people to develop their idea into this world, with crypto i dont even know where the money godrgs
- rightmonospaced
- an educated guess, is still... a guess. I'm not arguing about the fact you did your due diligence and alldyspl
- but the truth is that you have no control over what happens, no control over any decisions those companies make etc..dyspl
- and in that, it's still the same a crypto. granted crypto is highly volatile, but at least people here have no illusion regarding that fact.dyspl
- that's my point ... a guess with a stock pick IS educated ... with a crypto it's not much more than a blind guessmonospaced
- guess/gamble... see what I did?dyspl
- Yes. But they aren’t the same, not remotely, and everything you said about my investing and assumed about me is false or just imagined.monospaced
- Educated stock picks based on research, prospectus and trends is smart compared to buying crypto on hype. Therefore your comparison is nonsense.monospaced
- Because if they were just gambling, then I wouldn’t have had predictable gains for the last 25 years.monospaced
- ...I didn't say anything about your investing, you made money, good for you :)
you just seem to negate the risky nature of it while pointing it out in cryptodyspl - and make it into an argument about how stupid it is compared to your thing, which is in his core the same...dyspl
- would it all go away if I said you were smart mono? like as much as your investment? It's all good in the end, it doesn't really matter.dyspl
- do what makes you happy, and let it go.dyspl
- and for the record, I'm not saying YOUR investments or actions are dumb. I'm just inherently convinced that trading in all it's form is dangerous.dyspl
