Crazy things happening in Crypto World Lately!

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

This is a sum up of latest - important imo - happenings.

Ethereum Hits 300 USD Per Coin


If its going to run like this, soon we will see ETH to overtake marketcap of Bitcoin.

Most ICOs run now on ETH contracts which helps the price. While this coin was never my favorite the money it brings are just amazing.

Bitcoin Gets Close to 3000 USD


Notice how bitshares raised since my post few days ago and drives biggest volumes of trades on Bitcoin now. The prophecy we had in my previous posts of 3k is almost sure to come, next stop - 5000 USD.

Lisk Hits 4 USD


Lisk is often called javascript version of Ethereum and it just hit 4USD per coin. This looks like smart-contract coins will have huge momentum this year.

Coblee Quits Coinbase to work on LTC


This means he sees bright future for the coin, just to remind you - it will get anonymous transactions, lighting network and more.
I have always been suggesting getting on LTC, esp when it was at 4 USD, but with currently crazyness in cryptoworld i dont see why wouldnt it hit 50-100USD this year.

Great post, im most interested in the guy leaving coinbase to work on LTC

Yeah me too, it seems to me like an incredibly risky move to switch from a safe gig like coinbase to working for a cryptoc$. That said maybe its worth noting that he most like has done an incredible amount of research in his decision which says a lot for litecoin. I may drop a bit of this weeks btc earnings into litecoin cuz who knows ^^ I regret not buying 100 bucks worth of ETH in january when it was at less than 10 per.

he's the creator of Litecoin, so he probably has more than enough money ;)

Litecoin is a very well known coin. At some point it was known as the silver to bitcoin's gold. While other coins such as Ethereum have displaced LTC from its second place, it remains a very important coin / altcoin. Any serious webmaster who accepts crypto as payment should include LTC as an option. It is a well established altcoin, its not like Mr. Lee went to work on some random altcoin like flappycoin or wathever :P

more will happen !! I can see BITCOIN price trade for 10 000$ in 3 months. Just today I was thinking to share my knowledge with the community and write an article about.

If you have some interesting info ...yes please do

Crazy, indeed. Never seen anything like this in my lifetime. Honesty, this could be the best of times and the worst of times.

This is going to either turn out to be the biggest mania in history, or a revolutionary moment of profound change in how humans transact with each other...

Either way, it's a great time to be alive...

If you are like me you lived through the dot com days. This is the biggest thing since then and I fully believe it is a real revolution.

I agree. I also think it will be the biggest transfer of wealth that I am going to witness in my lifetime. I think it will be bigger than the dot com days.

No where near the dot com Bubble, crypto is no where near in a bubble. For it to be a bubble you need many many more backers involved. A tiny percentage of people are in crypto compared to the tech stocks of 2000

This is exactly the reason why I think it will be bigger. Only a small % of people even know about it at this point. :)

I agree, I've been asking in tech shops and friends in IT..they havent a clue about it, a word they're begining to recognise.

Welcome to Steemit @fodhla!
I have run the exact same type of experiment with friends and family in IT. Many have heard of Bitcoin, most don't understand it or the potential efficiencies that can be achieved by using blockchain technology in businesses. They certainly have been unaware that there are other coins available besides Bitcoin.
Last Friday, a news paper article ran in the Toronto Star (which is a large national newspaper in Canada). It talked about the explosion in the cryptocoin market.
Here's the article:
https://www.thestar.com/business/tech_news/2017/06/09/demand-surges-for-digital-coins-as-risks-rewards-climb.html
Our nephew who is in his late 20's and works in the computer technology industry basically felt that because it was showing up in the newspaper, he had missed "the window" to make currency in crypto.
I don't agree at all, I think the opportunity is stronger than ever because hardly anyone knows about it or even has the skills to work through all the steps of exchanging fiat, buying cryptos on an exchange and then, storing them in a wallet.
I think until that whole process is streamlined we won't have mass adoption.

Couldn't agree more. A big barrier for the people I've spoken to seems to be their emotions around it and what it symbolises to them...an unfamiliar, scary and more detached world in which they have less control. I think there's alot being projected onto the cryptos and that may be working in early birds' favour! Those of us projecting hope onto it are happy to engage!

grow time

Was the hype similar? Maybe you and I could do a little interview comparing the two on my youtube channel. Let me know if you are interested cqdx!

Back in the dot com hype a lot of shallow and dubious online companies / websites were formed. They got a lot of funding but in the end had nothing to show for it. In the world of crypto currencies, an analogy would be the countless sh**coins that show up fast, get pumped, dumped, and are gone just about as fast.

it will all end in tears, but that is how just about everything ends.
We have to map out our escape plans with survival in mind. In the mean time, BTFD!

i think usa gonna burn before it can get better

The banks will be first in line.

Think it will be a mixed bag. Some people will lose, others will gain. My worry is for people that borrow to get into cyrpto, see this I wrote earlier today

Crazy stuff going on really!!!

Heard about #Digibyte plummeting too? I'm sure you did. I had some DGB on Poloniex and was expecting it to go to the moon. It went inside the Earth crust, reached mantle and now is in the outer core of the mother Earth. Lol

#Ethereum crossing $300 is bigggg and as compared to #BTC's rise, Eth's rise is far greater and must have filled some pockets already.

#Bitshares skyrocketed too and still going strong. Too bad I could buy any when I could.

Thanks for sharing the info and I've followed you to stay tuned!

Same thing happened to me brother. I cut my loses from DGB and made it all up in Bitshares. Bitshares and STEEMIT are great because they are both so strong fundamentally and are undervalued. I'm using them as safe havens, that also let me profit. I'm long on both, and I havent found a reason to move out of either. BTS will be over a dollar once this exodus from fiat dollar systems starts to really rev up here soon.

Yes Crypto is getting very big this year :)

Awesome Crypto update! thanks @kingscrown its insane to me to think that etherum was less than 8$ just a few months ago !

Imagine going all in back then and holding ;) But that would be hard to happen unless you forgot of your keys and awaited 300USD mark till today

i regret buying more monero than Eth at that time, but either way its been a fun ride!
I could have also mined quite a bit if I had pointed them too it!
this is the field of coulda shoulda wouldas lol

Agree hindsight is a wonderful thing. But think sensible to diversify what you buy. Better to have a range of crypto, than pouring all money into just one coin. Also Monero hasn't done too badly!

Hello @l love your article.... I am new on steemit and just started following you.... kindly follow back... Thanks!

I always look forward to your analysis. Thanks.

Glad to hear :) Tryin to bring us daily news just sometimes fridays i skip, need to get some off-steemit time sometimes ;)

Yesterday comparasion of cryptos with smartphones came to my mind... Smartphones was technology that was going only upwards parabolic basically until now. Because world needed it and was ready for it, so during few years parabolic, and I dont think that anyone can say that it was (is) bubble. What if cryptos are the same and we will go kind of only upwards (of course with some corrections, but kind of only up) because the world is ready?... Just an idea, I dont know :)

you say parabolic...I say asymptotic we both mean exponential.
who knew?

Yes, I think that asymptotic is more correct word :) Im still learning various trading expressions thou, actually you learned me a new word now, my native language is not english :)

mine neither...I speak Texan
but I was just funnin with ya.
a pair of bolics would probably work
better than a pair of noids I suppose..

Ok, I have then no idea what is that mean "asymptotic ". Is it graph like that?

more like this

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

So parabolic and then kind of a side ways, or you just funnin with me ? heh

yes

actually, ignore the 'kind of sideways'
the point is it starts off slooooooow. gains a leeeeeeetle...then graduallly, slowly...builds..
then launches like a rocket..almost straight up.

to infinity and beyond..

kinda poetic huh?

Yes, in mathematics both curves are said to be "asymptotic" because they both tend to approach a value (limit) as the other variable tends to infinity.
In financial analysis I think they use the term "parabolic" is used to indicate a pattern in a chart with asymptotic behaviour.

Indeed, and we call it a Hockey Stick ... When talking about Systemic sustainability such as world population, this is an indication that the system is about to crash. "Any system that cannot sustain itself is destined to fail."

Just like the stockmarket:

~disclaimer; this works until it doesn't 😜

On an unrelated (maybe?) note...

LOL true ;)

Well; I wanted to buy me some crypto's two years ago, but these moves just scared the crap out of me so I waited 😭. Also my ignorance wasn't helping me eighter! Worst personal decision ever lol... So i'm glad I found out about Steem, so I could start slow & easy and enjoy the learning proces in the meantime!

I have a similarly frustrating story. After bitcoin peaked in early 2014, I remember its price going down to $177 USA dollars. I remember trying to order a couple from Coinbase, only to be asked a few days later for documents I did not have, and have my transactions declined. Afterwards I checked out other sites to buy bitcoins but price had already gotten back to $400 or so. I though: "I'll wait for price to fall down again then buy." Here I am today, with bitcoin at $2900. Sure, I have been getting some sums slowly from ads, faucets, referral programs, etc, but still...

About Coinbase, I say this:

I feel your frustration, altough we missed out bigtime on these thing, I believe we are still in the early days! We just have to pick the winners, like Steem!

Speaking of Coinbase, I opened an account when ETH was $90. I couldn't get my credit card verified and they had a post on their site saying they were having issues. When all the dust settled I got in ETH at $260. Kinda sucks but I'm still in the money.

its better than the stock market because its just getting started.

So many different things to be aware of. Today I am researching Bitshares. The biggest exchange in China just accepted them into their trading platform

If you read my post 2 days ago, you would buy BTS a lot cheaper :)

you are now being followed my friend :)

does that post explain where/how to buy it? I will go check. If not, can you let me know. thanks

figured it out! Im in baby. Lets go BTS. Bought some!

To the stratosphere and beyond. yeehaaa!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I will expand my portfolio with Litecoin! Already have Ethereum as I believe it will close the gap with Bitcoin. And if Bitcoin goes up it drags Ethereum with it so way more upside on Ethereum in my opinion. Think the same counts for Litecoin in a way.

I have always been in love with LTC so im little biased but Coblee is a smart man, he knows what hes doing imo

I want a crystal ball!!

Steem is also in a delirious state. If community manages to breach these resistances and goes for 3$ - everything is possible. I hope to see it 3$ pretty soon as many Steem powered dapps are going into action. As of Litecoin, it's a decent investement.

I've been watching the crazyness myself, pretty happy investing in Eth right now as it's making its run. I'll have to take a closer look into Lisk, thanks for the heads up. Also interesting news about Lee leaving to work on LTC. All good things!

I agree that LTC is promising. I have to read about Lisk. Please, could you tell me what do you think about Byteball (now very devaluated as it just finished 6th giveaway)

Oh i love Byteballs but they will need time to get to the top (price is good already though)

Thanks. I will give a chance the Lisk project... I love javascript... 😉

I don't want to sound like a brown-nose cuck... But if it weren't for you I wouldn't have any idea WTF any of this means! Thanks from "The Cryptoidiot"

tldr; LTC may raise and meet others who are on crazy bull run

I saw that Chris Lee went over there.

Great post Thank you for your sharing on the price and analysis of different types of cryptocurruency. I think the price of BTC and ETH are very high now, the potential of rising is not that high.On the other hand, I think LTC is underestimated and I would probably hold more LTC.

Bring on the 5k bitcoins.

Thanks for sharing man, nice post. I would say crazy things happen everyday in cryto market, that's one of the reasons that it is one of the most interesting but at the same time dangerous investment in the world. Cryto relies a lot on the demand of it, which makes it fluctuate really easily. Careful guys!

You forgot to mention Bitshares,it was crazy day for Bitshares holders. :)

My last post was fully about BTS (check) so didnt want to put it here again.
Notice i did mention that BTS/BTC is top traded market today in the post :)

I see Lisk hitting 1 billion market cap soon, quote me in a month

It deserves it for sure, great technology and nice team

Thank you for sharing, following you! Wish you have a wonderful day today :)

Litecoin to $1000!

It's such a crazy time to be in this space.

I'm just glad that I got over my laziness and finally went through the process of buying some crypto. I had been curious about cryptocurrency for years, but never wanted to research how to actually buy and store them.

Luckily I saw a post about LBRY on reddit a couple months ago. The idea seemed cool and once I started researching I fell down the rabbit hole.

Just made my first $1,000 in gains with today's ETH price.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

These last few month and the following couple of years are a very special period in the transactions history - we are facing a period that is only comparable with the end of the 90's when the internet revolution has started.
I am positive that in one year time everybody on earth will know what is a bitcoin, crypto currency ..and no serious economic expert will dear to discredit the bitcoin

Ethereum is making MOVES! people need to get in before the ship sails! There is still time, the question is; how much haha thank you for sharing ^_^

markets are going crazy, I have invested in many coins, all were doing so good and then boom all go down, I need to stick with known coins

I'm waiting for the day Ethereum surpasses Bitcoin.

Definitely investing for sure!!!!!! :)

I love how boring litecoin is. I actually count on it staying within a relatively small range. Its very stable and predictable. If you want to pull your money off of an exchange when your done trading or just taking profits, just pull them out in Litecoin. Its extremely fast with really low fees. Once you have it in a hardware wallet or a wallet like exodus, just shapeshift it into Bitcoin. DODGECOIN I use for the same purpose but it is more volatile. Its a very fun coin to trade because of the whales. Great pump and dump. Great post.

Woah those are awesome news my friend, lots of things going on lately.

Keeping my eye on Litecoin. I see Ethereum going to $500 by the end of July. Great time to be in crypto!

First :P

You win a teddy :)

Thank you, you are too sweet :D

@kingscrown Awesome i like your post keep it up and in the future write more article like this post

Some crazy times we are living in, just checking how the total crypto market cap haa been growing in the last month.

More and more coins joining the billionaires club. Woohoo.

Mind=blown

It's the dot com boom all over again - people who don't know better are going to get caught up in the hype, risk, and maybe lose, a lot. Let's keep that information coming so we can all be better advised going forward!

Q- for crypto experts .

Euro , one of its failures is the price a euro in Germany is a euro in Portugal except one has an average wage of 3,000e monthly the other 879e .

separate currencies allowed depreciation and appreciation and the lack of this price mechanism naturally causes major problems in the EU , how do you see this affecting cryptos .

I kept looking at my phone today and was shocked each time i looked at coin base.

Well, I think it was wrong of Coblee to ever stop working on Litecoin in the first place. I think that produced a genuine distrust in the coin. At that time, I was a holder of Litecoin, and I saw the drop, and I thought, like many people thought, that it was the end of alternative cryptocurrencies. But then, years later, all of them are in the hundreds and growing. It's all insane now.

In any case, there are a myriad of coins to consider when investing now. My idea is to pick up every coin that doesn't look like a scam, grab a thousand, and if they hit $5, sell.

I think that holders of bitshares were messed with too. Reminds me of the stock market. LOL

nice find it is really crazy

@kingscrown Crazy! Yes Just imagine in 6 months from now.

Good insights into crytpto coins new and old thanks for the insights I always liked LTC

Interesting article friend, if I've learned anything in my short time invested in crypto-currency its to convert Fiat and hold, along with mining up and coming coins. Buy your ticket to the moon today or miss out on that lambo you've been dreaming of!

I am in love with the "craziness" of the crypto world! and to think, we are all in this together at the beginning stages of it all... Now if you are one of the lucky ones to have gotten it this 3 years ago, KUDOS to you, but I feel we have much more growth once its accepted by the everyday "Tom, Dick, and Harry." And I can't wait until the greedy banks and hedge fund guys start feeling FOMO, that's when the bucks start rolling in!

Until then, keep investing, and keep researching, it will pay off soon!

Great post.
As someone who just recently bought into crypto, I almost afraid of getting too used to times like this lol.

Crazy for sure. What a time to be involved!

Cool, interesting. Your analysis is really good. thanks for sharing.
Dear friend kingscrown..
Good luck ^_^

Great post! I am a huge fan of LTC, I have been posting a lot about it recently and my last interveiw with Rogue Money I went into a lot of the great projects that you mentioned, lighting network, atomic swaps etc...
I hadn't seen that about Satoshi Lite and I check his twitter all the time!
I think this is a great sign for LTC!

I truly that one has to be a little bit "touched" (crazy) to really appreciate the potential of the ethereum project....A scientifically futuristic imagination is a huge asset on the ethereum network! It's loyal contributors are one step removed from the "lunatic fringe." <--- savants--"lunatic fringe savants!"

What about Digybite? It went a bit down again in these hours but do you guys think that it's gonna explode more than It already did?

Truly breathtaking , I have been watching closely and the predictions that Bitcoin and other altcoins will reach into the thousands of $$ in value in the next decade is definitely possible !! Let's keep the bulls running !!

My bankroll is fucking flying! Piling money from affiliates into certain coins is one of the best things I have ever done.

This is amazing news! At the same time, my fiat wallet weeps, as the amount of ETH I'm able to buy diminishes with each passing day.

And the veritas of eth would reach 150 dollars each.

Yesterday I finally jumped on the ether train been saying no way since it jumped from 30! "It'll come down for me to buy". I dumped sia after the small bump. Dumped digi as we all did dumped my lite "for some wagerr ico too" and loaded etherum and ripple. So far half right haha come on ripple

@yoopstar, what are your thoughts on Sia? I bought a couple thousand, and I am watching it closely, waiting to buy a shitload more.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I like it long term and saved some. But dumped a lot before it came down. It's so cheap I think it's gonna be highly u unpredictable short term. And one people will probably day trade since it's so cheap. But I kept a base accumulation so to speak. I wouldn't take a loss on it though it'll be back. And again it's gnna he huge long term. I compare it to like Cisco for today's tech. But I really like ripple soon. And litecoin has to move soon. I see it. I'll jump back in sia. But I'll probably trade it alot to and just keep building my base accumulation "it's so cheap I don't feel fomo" lol kinda ranty sorry

Thanks for the insight!

Looking att a 2 day chart the downtrend might about be snapping. Or it's gnna break lower and continue downtrend. But looks like consolidation as we speak. Now that I looked at an actual chart too. Because long term it's a home run in my eyes.

Cool, thanks!!

i think it is smart to get more ether

As I posted yesterday, the Charlie Lee thing is a big deal. Litecoin foundation hired a full time developer recently. Add to this Charlie devoting himself to the project means they know the opportunity Litecoin has. I've started buying back in.

nice...crazy this post...I like this....

great article! thanks for your informations

I completely agree with your prediction on LTC. I have been bullish on LTC for 4 years, and feel that it is the Rodney Dangerfield of the crypto world, it gets "No respect, I tell ya, no respect". Successful SegWit, lightning network, 2 oldest coin, and the list goes on.

Crazy things happening indeed! Ethereum might go to the # 1st spot. Who knows!

really crazy :) it is so awesome to be in the crypto world right now^^ enjoy your day! ;)

Its real. This happens once every 50-100 years. 99% still dont have a clue whats going on. This will change the world as much as internet. You in or out? #neversell

I wonder if Monero is going to hit 100 USD this year. I think it stands a pretty good shot.

Thanks for the post, upvoted and followed, still getting my head round the crypto world and posts like this always help with the crypto education, so thanks.

MUST invest :)

As ChampagneCrypto would say, "it's a boom on all angles"! Haha

I'm amazed LTC hasn't reached 50 yet. It's actually one of the few coins I actually use a lot.

if something happen crazy solve it??

protect it to be alwasy good

good post.
i have some story, visit my blog please

I think that crazy thing are still about to happen just invest in the best projects that you think can rise and holddddd :D

I'll revisit Litecoin thanks to your recommendation, and the news above.

LSK is one I haven't studied, nor traded yet...

But I am grateful that ETH was my first purchase. HODLer here!

Well, looks like I have to add LTC to my recent crypto diversification plan. Thanks for the news!

It is very interesting what is happening with the Ethereum, but the truth I in my opinion I prefer to go for the coins with less value, because you can acquire many of these and at any time can be raised on a large scale and achieve large gains of Examples would be: Stellar, BitShares, Bytecoin, Dogecoin, among others.

Unbelievable. Ethereum might just be the new Bitcoin soon... Cryptocurrency all the way!!!

Dammmn!!! I sold my LSK for BURST about a year ago when it was cheap! That's when I didn't know any better and was sampling out the market. I don't even follow litecoin but I may now. Thank you for this post!

Crazy having bitcoin that close on the 3000 mark...

so many friends and family have bought Ether based on my journey with Ethereum. I bought at $40 and have enjoyed the community and learning so much about the platform and especially here on Steemit. It seems like Ether is consistently about 10% of Bitcoin. Not sure if there is a correlation if any, but the news about Singapore using Ethereum to take their Dollar digital is exciting and a sign of the future IMHO.

ppl flooding into crypto of uncertainty in the manipulated markets.. who knows if gold silver will every rise like these =/

Big rewards coming up, just picking the right horse!

I am new to all of this...
The world of digital currancy etc. And even more new to steemit😜
trying to learn the ropes and tricks.
I have no clue how to follow you but i hoping that by commenting on your post I will be doing just that.

I hope LTC moves sometime soon. I bought some expecting something magical to happen. Time will tell.

wear is eth going next?

It's a revolution! But there will be much more black money due to it's crypto availability.

kinda feel surreal but its all real. great time to be alive.

thanks for sharing

this is just the beginning the next 4 years will be amazing

Great summary of recent events! I'm following you looking forward to more!

big point to see back

Thank you @ kingscrown for this post. I voted for you and I will continue to follow you. With this year's cryptoworld madness what other coins do you prefer for the profit I can make?

No doubt that this wave of positive news will bring even more money and talent to the coin market.

You think BTC and ETH will dip? I sold some and want to buy back at a dip.

Not likely at this stage buddy. Hold onto your hat (hehe!) for the next month. I see ETH meeting/eclipsing BTC in marketcap this year, and BTC hitting more than the 5000 everybody's promoting. Think about Qatar, and the British Election, and the way everybody else is going to be panicking and hedging. If influx of capital drives into [safe] hedges (ie. not Bitcoin) where are the game-players going to invest? Here.

Nicely crafted and drafted post!!! I am pretty sure the interest of Coblee in moving to Litecoin will bring Litecoin community a smile! Even though its a risky move but rewards are also at par.

Thanks for the heads up.

Litecoin looks interesting. I'm new to crypto and so far I've been buying mostly BTC and ETH. I might consider diversifying a bit into Litecoin.

I've started blogging a bit about my experience so far with the cryptoverse. Please follow me if you like my content.

what do u think bout skidoo or projektx cryptocurrency, check chart of theese two currency, btc is just small piece of cake and still is smaller and smaller cryptocurrency dominator

Well, nothing rises. FIAT money just falls

This is about right. Finally, we the people can see a solution BEYOND out debt-laden corrupt governments and Wall Street manipulators. Sure, we have to put up with a little pumpy-dumpy, but I sure know where I'd rather be. And despite the odour about it, I think DASH [and NEM] have the most potential for gain from here. I don't understand how DASH is not keeping parity with ETH in this march - DASH + a litewallet is going to be a common method of commerce soon. Give it 4 years for common adoption, after a fiscal crisis in the between-time...

it is getting crazy is right....this will only be getting more and more attention....not to distract but silver is waiting for "show time" :-)
