Brainlet here. I realized WAY too late that /biz/ is equal parts satire and pure evil. After an initial up I'm even poorer than before I spent a major chunk of my savings on crypto a couple weeks back. Now I understand that as long as I'm not part of some elite pnd group I won't ever make any profits on crypto and that I'll never get the chance to join one of them. Thanks for the life lesson anyway.

If you dont buy shit like Ark/Iconomi/Siacoin/BTS right AFTER it was pumped or gained x10-20 in 2 months, you wont lose.

If you instead search and buy the undervalued projects that have NOT been pumped, wait 2 months, like fucking Link, you're good.

Do you think I can make any profit off of the "already established" coins like XMR, IOTA, XRP if I hodl long enough? Right now I have no idea if I'm being delusional to hope for $100k in the long run. What if what I thought to be FUD is real and we're in a bubble that's about to burst any day now. Should I just drop my bags at what are massive losses to me and buy something else entirely to try to at least get my initial investment back?

>>3624696
>because you're too retarded to distinguish smart comments from idiotic shilling.
That's a fair assessment and I wholeheartedly agree. I already know I'm a gullible brainlet.
>LINK
That's one of the coins I wouldn't want to buy, because it's being memed on /biz/, it's ERC20, not to mention the talk about oracles. Fuck, I really don't know what to believe anymore. I'm just glad I didn't invest more than I could afford to lose, although it still hurts to see the losses I make. I was wondering why nobody replied with LINK earlier, given that I'm a weak minded fuck that would buy at a ATH.

>>3624729
That's what I keep on telling me. Then again my opinion on crypto has changed dramatically. It went from what seemed to be my only hope of not having to worry about my financial situation every. fucking. day. to a vehicle for evil/smart people to screw people like me real hard.

I'm more and more inclined to believe the FUD that's being spread. I wish I had at least one person that I could trust to talk about this. Friends don't understand why I invested in crypto, but I never tried to shill anything to them, because I've never been sure it myself and I didn't want to lie to them. I can't confess to them that I only made losses, they'd most likely tell me to pull out ASAP.

Aren't the Chinese people behind WTC supposedly trying to achieve what IOTA is going for? Also it's Chinese. How can you tell they're not just trying to bump up the price so they can dump their "worthless"(?) coins (on me) for a profit before the imminent ban hits? Looking at the chart, I'm seeing what I saw when I rode the downward trend of IOTA back in August.

>>3625296
I don't begrudge anyone the profits they made on their investment where I made losses, I just wish I'd have made some profits myself, too.

>>3625303
Yeah, I must admit I didn't do much research either. Plus, I still struggle understand how ERC20 tokens come into play when, for example, someone is developing a crypto online casino where you can bet BTC and ETH. It seems to me compared to crypto that's openly dealt as a currency like BTC and XMR these tokens are even worth less.

Please let me end this stupid thread with one final question (I'm doing the same mistake of trusting /biz/ yet again), because this is something basic I still don't fully understand. What does a sudden(?) increase of volume with virtually no change in price mean? Shouldn't the price eventually go up, because there's more people buying the damned thing?

>> No.3626407

volume just means buys or sells. so in this chart, the buys and sells increased together, and then eventually the sell pressure took control.

its not a zero sum game. theres more than enough opportunities to go around. you'll learn with time.
i was aroudn MTGOX and sold bitcoin back then. didnt have the patience for the drama.

i sold 1500 8 USD NEO at 20 before the pump to 40 an 50. i had 10K USD in SIGT and was one of the top holders for a while. took a loss there and am climbing back up day by day. still holding a 7k opus bag 50% down. its all in the game.

>>3627006

the team is young. they are mostly at school yet, students. i think they actually met in Dubai studying.

the CEO used the same address for the domain registration that he used in WOW or Diablo. was he selling gold?

1) he's a former NEET who is building something
2) he plays or was playing vidya, one of us
3) he was selling gold - entrepreneurial

i wouldnt worry about it. it's a mid to long term hold, risky but potentially very profitable especially at 50% ICO price.

team will be moving to Poland soon, an office and everything, hiring developers. im not fussed about the CEO personally. for me the key person here is the COO - Mach already has a successful project under the belt. also the move to Poland tells me that Mach will be taking on a bigger role in the project. the chink CEO may be eventually stepping down or moving to a dev role - not sure if he will be moving to Poland too. or whatever.

anyway Poland and Mach good, Opus great. Buy now.

Honestly there are two not-retarded ways to go about this:

SAFE: Learn how blockchain and smart contracts work. Understand that the only valid use cases and applications are ones having to do with financial markets and supporting existing fintech. Invest in these and hold.

RISKY: Buy low market cap coins that have a lot of positive hype and shady but effective marketing practices and sell once you have reached a market cap that defies all existing reason.

If you looked at OPUS, a coin with a shitty use case and no hype and thought it was worth investing in you are doing it completely wrong.

What you're saying seems plausible, but I'm not convinced that such a platform could ever be successful. Isn't LBRY trying to do the same but with videos instead of music? Artists and content creators don't seem to care for anything but FIAT, so how would you pitch a platform like OPUS to them? I earnestly wish you the best of luck and that you get to sell at a decent profit soon, but I'm very skeptical about this... then again it should be obvious that nobody should go by what I say.

think of OPUS more like soundcloud. not apple music or spotify.

at the core of OPUS is the fairness to artists. most music platforms rip off artists and they get very little shekels from song sales. OPUS is aiming to change that. 100% of revenue goes to artists. its a noble goal. maybe not the fanciest use case like link or kyber. but a decentralized music sharing platform is a cool idea.

>> No.3628271

>>3628001
I can't tell if it's the same with your group, but here's how it went down in the group I was in: Firstly the group picks some coins, then the group gets to vote on the coins, out of the top 10 coins one coin gets picked by the first or last digit in the next bitcoin block. While everyone was waiting for the discord bot to announce the coin, the initiator bought some coins and sold them on the high caused be the announcement of the bot. There wasn't much of a delay, maybe 20 seconds or so, but that was enough for the initiator to buy in before everyone else.

>>3628047
Even if the artists get to keep almost all of the revenue, that revenue is paid in (what to them essentially is) toy money. If they wanted their revenue in some FIAT instead, they'd have to go through the trouble of selling the toy money first. I doubt they'd ever do that, especially with regards to how volatile the market for that toy money is.
