Isn't xrp the one that got sanctioned by the SEC?

SEC is currently engaged in an extremely weak lawsuit against Ripple Labs over their initial sales of XRP and whether or not it was considered a security at the time.

Looks more like a hack job from the former administration since Jay Clayton filed the lawsuit in his last day in office and immediately went to work for Ethereum.

Highly likely that the case is settled or thrown out completely. XRP will potentially hit $10-$13 in this cycle - where it goes beyond that I guess depends on it's adoption with CBDCs

Blockchain Backer on YouTube probably gives the best fundamental pricing breakdowns and Legal Briefs, also on YouTube has great breakdowns of the SEC case.

What are y'alls thoughts on ADA? It's similar in price to XRP, and I'm wondering which one may have the best future.

There are fanboys for both. Take a basket approach and cast a wide net as no one actually knows how who the winners will be in 5-10 years.

Pick 5 and drop a percentage in each. Read about each one and allocate your percentages based on how much you believe in the project based on the information you find.

My 5 are:

XRP
ONE
VET
DGB
MATIC

Then I've thrown a little bit here in there into other things as I find them for example XVG which many think to have been a dead project but I liked some things they had planned/partners with charging cell phones so I put $150 in it at .03 for fun.

Another that I have my eye on that will release this summer is Monopoly, which is a real estate coin - I'm very interested to see how they plan to apply the blockchain to real estate transactions. I may invest in it or may not, but finding fun and interesting real world use cases is where I look.


Point being, keep doing research and have fun with it. Pick the things that sound good to you and invest heavier into those as you can and are able.

To answer your question - ADA or XRP probably both have good futures. I'm hesitant on ADA because it's not exactly a working product yet but they have a really great plan if they are able to execute it.

Not financial advice; just how I view it.

A working product would be a good start for ADA. Its already been passed by DOT SOL and BSC.

You have any articles on the real estate token? A quick google search didn't turn up much.

Am I the only one getting a captcha screen before I log into Coinbase now? That is new.

White pages coming at the end of the month this has me intrigued. Could be a dud - could be cool. We shall see

Got notification that I can convert my ETH to ETH2 and stake for 6% apy.
I'll probably go ahead and do that since I'm not planning to sell or trade ETH anytime soon.

yeah but how long can you be locked out for? It becomes illiquid right?

I am ok being locked out forever, but the line they give is that you can trade it as soon as the ETH2 upgrades are completed. We'll see.

If you are looking at some smaller cap coins, try the following:

Kleros (PNK)

Rainicorn (RAINI)

https://rainicoin.medium.com/raini-and-dovu-the-art-of-protecting-the-planet-d39df0a8af0

This one has significant NFT potential and it is capitalizing on the "carbon neutrality" issues. Yes this team is leftist, but a lot of people like the idea of saving the planet.

Offshift (XFT)

https://medium.com/offshift/offshift-hosting-monthly-prifi-ama-community-call-starting-may-6-89bbbb9f3440

Offshift is attempting to bring privacy to DEFI. They have a well involved and dedicated team.

These three coins huge upside. They are certainly a risk but if you have some disposable income, they are worth a shot.

Don't get me wrong I have invested a lot into LINK and Uniswap and Ethereum but I like throwing money at small market cap coins with large upsides.

ETH upgrades - staking, lower gas fees, etc.
or
Ags win a natty

Which happens first?

Does anyone see ETH taking any more dips?

If it does, I'm doubling down. If not, I'll watch my modest investment rocket. Either way is fine by me.

My strategy is going to be to keep buying more each month regardless of the price, and if there is a big dip, take advantage and buy more.

Very bullish ETH right now. Which seems like a common theme from everything I hear. Really excited about the next month or two. Buckle up. Moon bound!!

Really wish there was an ability to buy calls on the grayscale trusts

Doge just hit 42 cents

We haven't even gotten to musk's snl appearance yet. Imagine if he comes out wearing t-shirt with a shiba riding a rocket or something.

I just put more into ETH and it jumped to $3400. You're welcome.

ETH is most likely on a collision course for $10K in the next 24-36 months.

Really? I heard it was more like $10k by the end of 2021.

Timing is a crap shoot. I'm being conservative with mine.

I'd be happy with the end of 2021.

I really wish some of these coins were easier to buy without having 4 different market places. I've been using coinbase pro but I want to add some XRP which is a pain.

Opened my coinbase for the first time in over a year today after reading the Ethereum buzz.

Bought my first bit in the 60s and kept buying small amounts up through $500 then each big dip it took. My total cash injection over that time was $2700 or so. Today I'm at $85k.

Crazy.

Damn dude. Get that moved into a hardware wallet. You're making me nervous.

Sooooo are we all on Safemoon or what?!

I mean, how can you NOT trust this team?

To be fair, the whole crypto scene is FULL of people like this. I watched a crypto Q&A with some of the top project leaders (AAVE, LINK, RVP, ADA to name a few) and it was like watching a Lord of the Flies convention.

Yeah, my expectation is for the grand I dropped in Safemoon to not turn into anything, but the fact Elon started tweeting about it a couple weeks ago tells me there's a chance of a large pump on it.

I thought this was an interesting comment, and I actually kinda agree.

Bitcoiners accumulate #Bitcoin, educate prolifically about bitcoin and build bitcoin infrastructure while altcoin traders take "profit" and "loss" in dollars or bitcoin; everything about the market cycle will always be explained by the contrast. Two different games being played.

Can someone explain why Etheruem though? I dabbled in crypto years back cause of fomo but just lost money so I have stayed away. Clearly it's not going away so need to learn more.

out of curiosity what do you recommend for a hardware wallet?
