I'm still not very confident in an alt season as btc has crushed most pairs but my two alts are icx at (0.59) which I'm staking and lrc (0.40)

I'm new to the alt coin game, but have taken flyers on LINK, UNI, and LUNA.

Anyone have an opinion on Terra (LUNA)?

It was casually mentioned by Mike Novogratz (famed billionaire who bought ETH very early) on Twitter. Not in a pumping kind of way, but random replies to other tweets.

I'd feel much more confident in LINK if it wasn't an ETH token

Blockchain agnostic
Threshold signatures
Off chain reporting

Ethereum in the end will just be a settlement layer for all Chainlink transactions

yeah man. I love what Link is doing for the most part by being blockchain agnostic etc but the tokens value is still attached to the eth network which is a mess in its current form

what happens to the price of link tokens if eth fails?

I have 5000 QRL

Anyone ever heard of that one? Supposedly bitcoin, but set up for the coming of quantum computing. One of my main buddies who trades crypto got me into this one around .14, sitting at. 25. I dont really know the story or if it makes sense, More of just a blind gamble.

Haven't bought a single other coin from btc other than eth.

Reason why I am bullish on alt coins is because I believe once the btc bullrun ends and it starts heading sideways many will still be looking for the next btc. We know there will be another but very good possibility some of these go to where litecoin is right now.


I made good money on lrc last week. Missed the ath but still good money. Didn't see this bull run of the last couple days coming. Little pissed at myself for not getting back in Monday when it was at 0.26. I had set an alert for 0.255 and it never got to it. Would have been a nice .19 cent return if I sold when it hit 0.45 today.

Oh btw that btc transction just got confirmed. frick yea baby!!!!

That’s in the back of my mind. That something like Cardano will basically be the guy that overtakes ETH, ala Apple in the tech space.

But the ETH ecosystem is freaking huge right now. If 2.0 is a success I don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon

Main way to get it is through cointiger right now, but apparently they are on their way to get listed on more major exchanges soon. They have their own wallet aswell you can move it to.

Anything trying to be the next Btc , Eth, link etc won’t have staying power. Yes it may pump on dumb money and hype but those are the projects that crater when the rug is pulled

This is starting to feel like late 2017 all over again. Random arse stuff that will be around for 6 months.

For the short term (5ish years) I think we know who the players are. They’ve been around the block.

yea i don't necessarily think there needs to be one winning platform and eth clearly has the largest ecosystem of them all but switching to PoS doesn't seem like an easy task and Vitalik has openly expressed concerns about scalability.

I don't look at it in any way at this time other than a pump and dump, full disclosure.

It was created in 2017, has been as high as 4.17

Eth will not be pos and neither will btc, too slow and expensive.
