Cryptocurrency

[Hobosapien]

I see crypto trading as the stock market for the tech generation. i.e. those that can work out how to use crypto wallets safely and understand the phrase 'not your keys not your coins'.

The old farts reading the Financial Times are stuck with stock markets.

There may be a crossover where those too old to bother with the current video games (they're all exactly the ******* same 3d first person bollox, give me a proper strategy game ) yet old enough they have started worrying about retirement and pensions () will dabble with both worlds.

So while it would be nice for institutions to pile in and surge the prices I don't see a massive rush of old money into cryptos anytime soon. More likely the institutions will devise their own schemes and cryptos to retain better control. Whales will continue to pump and dump, gaming the tulipcoins while it's relatively easy for them to do so.

How does picking a random alt that has moved substantially prove anything?

You assume it's random. I predicted it would increase in value two weeks ago.

It does prove substantially that pooper is a rich moron

Ok, so you agree you are a moron, the point of contention is whether you are rich or not...

[scooterscot]

rich in life

You also predicted BC would hit $100K by December 31st. How're you feeling about that one?

You've predicted 100's of things. Well done on getting one right.

This is gonna **** a lot of folk in this thread, assuming they traded during the good times and are still HODLing.
