naw. this is why index funds typically always beat managed funds when they do bets on this shite

this is dealing with individual commodities. you can go to 10 experts and you'll get at least 6 or 7 different opinions about the data analysis re: one commodity. even if there was one magical analysis that was perfect, it would naturally affect the market and then you get into a leveling war on creating the new analysis of the new market and that original algorithm is outdated

now i'm sure someone has done this, but what you'd need for a real macro analysis would be funds that invest in a number of cryptos, acting like an index of sorts.

I don't think there is a lot of fundamental or technical analysis going on here.



lol what technical analysis does one need for something that jumps 2700% in a year?

why do you think so many average joe investors are jumping in here...

That because commodities markets are supposed to exist for risk management and to provide liquidity to the market. The speculators help provide that liquidity. Crypto is just straight speculation. It's a lottery.

I just find it very humorous the authority tone of I'm getting in at X.

i don't think anyone here is lending their opinions as expertise and everyone understands there is a lot of gamble going on

I know of a guy who has done this, but not sure how legit it is

Just bought my first crypto, got almost a half a BTC since there was a daily limit and I have it transferring to Polo. Says it will take until June 2 though

Hopefully Kraken can verify me so I can buy some ETH directly. Maybe I'll get lucky and the ET price won't go nuts while I wait for this BS.

How so? I'd disagree.

Generally, I'd agree, but there are some who are exploring the area.

How long you holding out?

Knowing my luck it'll hit $145, Coinbitch will crash, then it will be $195 30 mins later.

I'm going to let this drop happen and let the dust settle. Too much bad juju today for me to stick with this.

the afternoon tank pattern seems to be real, so i'm going to wait until maybe 3-4 to decide. we may see a serious crash coming up

people who bought the past few days for fun may be freaking out right now
