>>10171133
do you do any research? etf = institutional money. 5 months until the first ones roll out.

>>10171126

IOTA: We don't like buying coins with volatile retarded CEOs no matter how good the rest of the fundamentals are, and yes that includes Ambrosus.

2) If RLC does everything it's slated to do (offchain scaling) it'll be huge. We have a small position in RLC and will re-enter once Bitcoin slows down in the next run.

>>10171111
Congratz OP!
hope you enjoy yourself!
OMG...whats your take, might as well ask about EOS as well.

how do i get a job like yours op? im going to study industrial engineering, is that good enough?

>>10171143

;)

>>10171133

It's been here, although in small curious amounts under the table. Most big ARRs like mine are outliers rather than the norm though because most PMs aren't autistic enough to cut it in crypto as it is.

>>10171111
Do you think NEO will be around and profitable in a few years?
A fair share of my portfolio is in Asian Crypto and I was planning on holding it indefinitely

Thoughts on Monaco (MCO) and crypto.com?

What about ETC and XLM?

Thanks for your time anon and God bless you. Enjoy your patrician lifestyle.

What is you opinion on this being a security? Why would intel partner with a unregistered security?

>>10171171

Network and location are the most important factors when choosing a school. Fuck the rankings and either choose a program in a school with wealthy old money or in a finance/tech hotspot wherever you're located.

>>10171162

EOS has some serious market maker action going on and a huge bankroll. However, the risk factors that have cropped up caused us to sell in the main net rallies.

OMG - One of our best performers to date, although they've seriously under-delivered in tech.

any advice or book suggestions on daytrading? Are consistent profits possible or more of a meme? Are the skills needed quantifiable and can be learnt?

>>10171111
Tell me what you think about NANO.

>>10171184

Honestly, most of the smart money thinks NEO has been undelivering and that VeChain is slated to become the premier blockchain of China. Da Hongfei talks a little too much about price for our liking, and he's been bizdevving for Ontology pretty hard. We have a position in ONT as a hedged bet for NEO

>>10171189

ETC - We haven't touched it, although we're scrambling to do research now that coinbase is listing it. Something's up there and I will be back with an update at some point.

XLM - We own a stack and do plan on using it to invest in Stellar Lumens ICOs down the road. Most of Ethereum's value was driven by the companies crowdfunding on its platform and we're waiting to see what comes out of it.

>>10171111
please hire me, I'm an autistic attorney.

>>10171111
Check’d. What are your thoughts on the Basic Attention Token project? Thanks

>>10171235
ICX, what do you see in the future?

>>10171212

Consistent swing profits are very easily doable in a market controlled by an intelligent operator. There are a couple of systems out there on reading MMs and their manipulation. DYOR! The easy trades won't be around forever when normies fomo back in though.

>>10171230

NANO is pretty garbage in general honestly but it's the granddaddy of mainstream DAGs and already has adoption covered through its Reddit cult. The runup in December/January was actually an orchestrated grand scale pump and dump that was orchestrated through extensive social manipulation.

A large part of the early theory for crypto FA is in modeling it as a social network though, and with adoption covered, I would argue NANO is undervalued. We aren't touching risky speculative mediums like that with a ten foot pole though.

>>10171235
>not knowing about etc despite the etc ETF launch a while ago
>calling yourself a finance analyst with leet skills
Stopped right there.

>>10171194
>Network and location are the most important factors when choosing a school. Fuck the rankings and either choose a program in a school with wealthy old money or in a finance/tech hotspot wherever you're located.

This is an outright lie. I currently work in a front office role at a rather well known IB and EVERYONE in my incoming class is literally ivy league or elite liberal arts. In fact, rankings + alumni connections is probably the most important in getting your foot in the door.

OP is LARPing you dumbasses

>>10171277

Every crypto fund with a brain owns ICX and VEN.

We had most of ours from the ICO and sold most of our stack before their January event. We've been in conservatively since Ian Ballina dumped the price.

>>10171271

Good project. Highly questionable as a speculative tool.

Thoughts about BAT ?
Could you explain the thought processes behind your decisions?

0xbtc?

>>10171303

It's pretty binary. Either you're in a target school or you're not. Ivy league was pretty implicit with "wealthy old money". Way to fail to read between the lines mister.

>>10171307
>>10171308
So what you’re saying is that the people involved and the scope of the project is enticing, but the fact that a model such as Brave has never been implemented successfully makes it questionable? I’m in for long term

Do you think we can reach ATH EOY?

>>10171111
What do you think of Augur, OP?

You mentioned vechain a lot. Do you not think the insider trading with vechain was a huge red flag? Along with their hype marketing. You skated nano for this (i agree) but seem to brush over Vechain doing it on reddit at the same time.

Also as you are in vechain, what about Fusion FSN? The founder of Vechain DJ Qians project for crypto finance.

>>10171356

Precisely.

>>10171308

In our philosophy, risk management and position sizing is everything. ESPECIALLY if you're playing with OPM (other people's money).

We first evaluate a team's existing network and technical skills as well as their backers, and the state of awareness in the broader cryptocurrency community. Then, we make an educated guess as to whether it's fairly valued unvervalued, or overvalued, for its scope based on its adoption.

We will avoid something like Tron because it's already been saturated by normie speculators and its code base is utter shit. Waltonchain was one of our best performers through the December/January alt run, but we exited the second the "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT" twitter shitstorm hit and will never re-enter.

>>10171364

Significantly more, although I'm not sure about EOY. Whoever is controlling BTC and its 'bartcharts' is in the final phases of accumulation and will mark it up to sell and distribute into normie fomo.

>>10171111

What is you opinion on this being a security? Why would intel partner with a unregistered security?

the bigger Q is how much with SEC affect the market once/if they start cracking down?

hi sir pls share your thoughts on ENG

>>10171388

Every oracle solution is on our watchlist and we have our bets hedged very conservatively. When some clear winners pull a head we will enter them very aggressively. Crypto markets are very inefficient and unlike traditional markets, it takes weeks if not months for price discovery to catch up.

>>10171411

VeChain's utility and tech fundamentals are significantly better than NANO's. We will run a single node on it and nothing more. The skillful and somewhat blatant hype marketing with the Coca Cola kid was a large reason for why we entered.

Look at Ambrosus - probably one of the best tech teams and vision in the space and genuinely targeting the same scope as VeChain. Who has the higher mcap by orders of magnitude? How long will it take Ambrosus to catch up if ever?

We're eyeballing Fusion FSN for a while, but we don't like the risk for its current valuation and public news. It will probably make its way into our portfolio at some point if no red flags are raised.

>>10171435

1) JNT - 8/10, could potentially be the most important chain in the middle east at these prices.

2) NKN - 2/10 . Even if it's a great project, NEP-5 projects don't have the greatest track record.

3) NEX - See above

>>10171446

ZIL is one of our largest altcoin positions. We will be selling off before mining starts due to the risk exposure from mining inflation.

>>10171462

Yes, and it was rough getting through the memes and misinformation/fud to actually do research on the project at first. We don't care, professionals are still people and I don't hire normies. Stay stinky.

>>10171479

The market and culture is saturated with technolibertarian ideologues. Regulations aren't bad if they are not restrictive and it seems the SEC has been pointing its guns at bad actors so far.

>>10171483

Whales accumulating, unironically.

>>10171495

Seems like you are betting on the same
Old tactics of accumulating and waiting for normies to come. As in, buying projects you expect to have hype marketing (as long as they are cheap and normies havent entered yet) come next distribution phase.

Obviously you have to wait and see. Even vechain disnt strt its hype marketing till long after ICO. A combo of fundsmentals wirh hype is best.

Suggests to me you believe the cycle of accumulating before normies fomo in by intentional oumping with market makers will happen again. A lot of people are saying inly fundamental projects from here with alts, that will deliver eventually. No more hyped projects. Apparently this isnt the case if you foresee another normie fomo cycle.

To which i would say buy projects setting the foundation now and let the hype later. Not ones starting to market and hype in a bear market.
Am i correct?

How do you respond to critiscism that VEN is a chink scamcoin? Specifically, if they truly have the institutional partners that they claim that they do, why on earth are they resorting to CCK and cringe hype vidoes targeting retail investors?

>>10171194
>OMG - One of our best performers to date, although they've seriously under-delivered in tech.
Are you even paying attention on ethresearch?

>>10171598

QASH is in the watchlist, as are competing liquidity providers such as XTRD

>>10171565

You are correct in your assessment.

What do you think of Matrix AI (MAN). Very impressive team, unique consenus algorithym (PoS/Pow hybrd) providing low latency, high speed, and keeping decentraliaation in tact.]

Inevitable binance listing which will pump it and mainnet December 31st.

Also, would you consider dumping OMG here?

How big is your LINK stack, OP?
Top 200?

>>10171628

Don't care about the criticisms. We are not emotionally invested in our picks and will dump in a second if we get a whiff of another Waltonchain.

The Jonestown-like cult their community managers have created has preserved the satoshi value of VeChain through the bear market, and they are following a trajectory to become a state-sanctioned ICO platform within China.

Imagine larping this hard. Absolutely depressing to read OP.

How many of you are falling for this garbage larp? No better than a fucking 9-5 banker with a cheap suit pretending he works on Wall Street.

>>10171673
>they are following a trajectory to become a state-sanctioned ICO platform within China.

>>10171648
thx based hedgefunds anon

>>10171668

Combined yes, but we aren't dumb enough to put it in one wallet.

>>10171657

MAN was initially created to save a sinking AI project ship, but it looks like they're delivering so far. Watchlisted.

We already dumped most of our altcoins during the consensus pump, including OMG.

OP sounds smart enough to not waste his time larping.

Did you take a position in the Tezos ICO? (if not, considering getting a bag?) Thoughts on the significance of the Michelson virtual machine and langsec in general for the adoption of big money smart contracts?

>>10171648

Cool. Only downside here is hedging. Dont you hedge with obvious winners like XRP and eth? Or is Eth and BTC enough for you? I saw it that if btc goes up, alts go up. Btc down, alts down. So if You short btc low leverage as a hesge when alts rise, you protect sats. Your gains come from alts going higer then btc goes down. As they move in tandem if an alt gains 10% in sats while btc goes up... you lost small amount on short but made a lot more on the alts gaining. But it evens out to a slight net gain.

However if market dumped your short on btc protects you also.

Im new to hedging. Just wonderes what your stable factor is.

>>10171657

Matrix scam. Human level language for smart contracts is a meme. Computer scientist for 50 years have attempted this and its just a laugh. If they manage it their achievement far exceeded blockchain. Why waste their time with a trillion dollar idea on blockchain. Lmao. Scam

What are your thoughts on Qash? Also, can skycoin recover? I know your investing method would not come close to investing in skycoin, but tech seems solid

>>10171701
Would you recommend someone still in OMG to dump, or wait for some sort of salvage with potential plasma Q4.

I'm not aware of the AI project ship, however, with the 12.5m in funding which is now 50m they have plenty of funding to do what they need to do.

>>10171701
How do you manage the taxes and custody.

Are you a U.S. based LLC?

>>10171701
so are you guys holding all the metnioned coins just to dump them during the next january-like bulrun or do you actually believe we will see adoption and there will be real demand for those things? If so, when do you predict we will actually start seeing someone dliver a real use case?

>>10171720
"If you buy ETH you're gullible as fuck".

Any thoughts on UUU as a steemit competitor and also Universa?

>>10171720

We prefer shorting alts as a hedge. The bigger the normie commmunity the better.

>>10171720

Yeup, not touching it with a 10 foot pole, but it's an interesting curiosity to keep an eye on possibly for years.

>>10171708

We do not invest in icos with a higher cap than 50 million. We will be watching Tezos though

>>10171701
Mont Blanc, Waterman, Pelican, Cross, Bexley, or Visconti?

>>10171755
Progressively shittier larp.

You were going well for a little while. Work on your stamina

>>10171554
Is JNT on your watch list?

>>10171721

Skycoin is an interesting project and we have access to a lot of background information in the project. Synth was one of the most brilliant bitcointalk posters back in the days but he seems to have lost his mind somewhere down the road.

In my opinion, Skywire is too unrealistic and the community is too toxic for us, but they do have some pretty powerful backers and bankrolling. I don't think they can deal with Synth being a fucking retard in the medium to long run.

>>10171736

We will see adoption and the usual MVP timeline in tech is 2-3 years. The 'real' bull run should start somewhere in 2020 with the next bitcoin halvening and projects coming out with fully functional products.

As long as the market can be controlled by an intelligent operator, we will be trading along with their strategy. Eventually, trading volume might increase to the point where they have trouble marking prices at will, and from there we will just sit on our final portfolio.

>>10171733

We have a very good accountant and more and more are learning the space. Yes we are a US based LLC although we do have offices abroad.

We don't actually have a custodian because most of the 'early' institutional investing was with private play money, but larger sums will move in now that Coinbase's custody service is live.

>>10171752

The execution of UUU will be simple and I don't see anyone fucking it up.

Universa is on our watchlist due to cryptoruble rumors.

>>10171810
update comes out today buddy, if they drop central bank news better I hope that you're all in.

1) BTC - I hold none
2) ETH - I hold none
3) VEN - I hold none

>>10171111
op seems legit. I'm a small time crypto fund fag as well mid 8 figures. you are correct on ONT, was in mountain view at a private event all big players a few weeks ago and 90% of the crowd was chinese and many were involved in neo and they were all jumping ship to ont it seems.

I'm surprised you don't have any exposure to XMR. I have it on good authority that meta-stable is starting to increase their position this year.

You're right on chainlink. It is incredibly speculative, but if they pull it off it will be a big winner. Most on this board are truly delusional about it though.

JNT is legit. I like that you like it as well.

Tezos is on our radar, we will be buying blood on it this year. We like the minds behind it.

Can you elaborate on the exchange api scanners? Is that something you guys built or is it a product that is out there? Would love to hear more about this.

OP we have some of the best code in crypto, drop me a protonmail email and I'll reach out to you with some screenshots, I think you'll like what you will see.

You and I are in the same mind on when the next bull comes, and that is mid 2020, with things really heating up again in 2021-2022.

cheers

>>10171963
You holding JNT or watching?

NKN - on your radar?

OMG?

>>10171984
JNT we started scaling in recently. But we will use the whole year to keep building. We buy in pieces spread out over longer periods of time.

NKN no will check it out. OMG never been a fan, no idea why. Just never clicked with me

>>10172017
Your thoughts on Qash? And I pose the same question to you. If you could sit on 1 alt coin until the next bull run, what would you pick?

>>10172034
nothing on qash. as to that one coin, I'm afraid that answer is different for everyone. We all are drawn to different things in which we understand and that is different for each person. I won't tell you which it is for us as we will be buying it all year and don't want any competition in the order books

>>10172047

Fair enough, qash is worth 5 minutes of research fyi. You'll probably do a few hours after your first 5 minutes

>>10172047
so you guys don't think all the institutional money memes and a possible etf before EOY will really impact the price before 2020?
what's the price range of btc EOY in your opinion?

>>10172063
will check it out thanks

seem to know your stuff, Hashgraph / rsk? opinons on both? also opinions on nucypher and how about certik?

are you accumulating bnb? I'm hearing strong rumours binance are pressing for their cherry picked icos to raise funds in bnb and that they have a goal to ultimately move users solely over to the bnb token pairings, youll see bnb github is _extremely_ active.

am also very long on icx more so then any other project currently, what do you feel about the market currently, looks like heavy accumulation and overall exchange volumes increasing again not sure well see much under 5800.

>>10172077
Hard to say. Institutional money is smart that wont be chasing price higher. IMO they will use their tricks and do the best they can to keep btc in a range of 3-7k for the the next 18months to trade the volatility and increase the size of their positions to better postilion themselves for the next mega bull run, which will come. There is still a lot of fast and dumb money in this market it would be best to see them get squeezed out imo and that would happen with a flat-lined boring market.

>>10172126
hashgraph is a meme imo. great in theory but good luck proving it real and tangible. my buddy is responsible for the entire narrative surrounding it, one of the best story tellers in the biz. at this point hashgraph is just that, a story

>>10171963

also involved in a fund of similar size, agree with the 2020 idea before leading into the next halving
this chart / his historic charts havnt been wrong including calling the bull run to 20k earlier in 2017

OK. I wasnt sure before this post, but now I know it's a larp. How could you possibly be this bullish on WAN?

The team is in disarray, they currently have "co-presidents" with zero leadership experience. The way Dustin stepped down was super shady, and his new project is nothing more than another money grab (you should know this if you have connections).

Right now this project is nothing more than copied ETH code with community updates every couple weeks. 2.0 doesn't even have ERC-20 interoperability. The fact that 1.0 didn't have ETH integration is laughable as well.

How in the world could this be #2 on your list?

>>10172225
Oh also, anything on Quant network (QNT) ? Apparently the team is the guy who implemented internet banking for Barclays back in the day and the main guy is Downing St (British government) and HSBC.

So on one hand you say you won't invest in a "volatile" CEO with an amazing team. And on the other you say you'll invest in a CEO that just hypes bullshit. Doesn't seem like good investment advice. If AMB delivers people won't ignore it just because they don't like Versetti. Also he handled his last AMA very well.
