Purchased $1000 of Ethereum a week ago (around $70/ETH). It's been a good week.
$500 bucks gained in 7 days.

This is of course missing the big surge from less than $10/ETH earlier this year.

The new bump will gain some more and this will probably shoot up to $500 or more before the year is out.

This is all bubble due to speculation right now. It'll be highly volatile and is just mirroring the same thing that happened with bitcoin (BTC) from 2010-2014. But faster.

Final price to be determined, but after some coming speculation and volatility, it will settle at something pretty high. Maybe a couple hundred bucks I would guess.

ETH is making two big moves 1> increased acceptance in the American tech industry for contracts 2> moves to minimize inflation and stabilize prices by lowering mining pay (google bitcoin mining). This will keep prices high after a period of speculation this year while people try to get in on the next bitcoin surge.

Buy ETH if you see it crash below $100. Its going to at some point before stabilizing. It may bounce down to $50-60 again in the near term which would be prime to get in more.






Unexpectedly, Ripple exploded this week:





Ripple passed ETH in market cap, but that is based on pure speculation on some Asian markets and industry adoption. I am not trying to follow that as I can't keep up with nuance and coming market signals with the Asian focus. It'll crash and then settle to where the Asian market supports, but its gonna be a good one if you can follow the Asian business markets.
There's some industry moves of trying to stabilize Ripple in payment systems, but it still seems too much too fast. Billions gained in a day?

Crytocurrencies, if your patient, you can make a killing in the long run but it's a volatile market.

I wish i kept my bitcoin haul from around 2010 etc but sold them for a minor profit. I was an idiot.

It's monopoly money, and people are gambling on whether or not it has real value or not. The value is dictated by what people feel it is worth. Highly volatile. Win big or lose big.

PS - I have no idea what it's about either.

2 days later...ETH going well. Will break $190 soon. I'll back out there for the short term and pick it back up during a volatile drop.
People will get hyped and scared at the round 200 or it'll make a big run before a correction. Gonna go all over the place.

Bitcoin is now $2000. Crazy
2300 average now.

Trading as high as 2800 in S Korea

It'll move up to 2500


There's some smaller currencies I'm ready to move into that will pay off. The issue is that BTC and ETH are seeing a huge run. That is dragging a lot of undeserved currencies along with it. Those without real structure will crash down and huge losses. There is going to be a volatile restructuring of rank in currencies ranked 5-10 in the top 10.

My friend who uses dark web marketplaces told me that a lot of people are trying to switch to Monero because it's allegedly safer

Splinty @Splinty should I buy some Ethereum?

Around $171 now

I'd move on Litecoin if you want to speculate today

My Vision For SegWit And Lightning Networks On Litecoin And Bitcoin



ETH is supported by tech industy in USA and will be used more and more for contracts. I think its gonna shoot, drop, and then shoot some more. Buy ETH when you see a big dip. It'll shoot up more after that. This is time traveling the history of BTC as people try to duplicate what they missed on BTC.
