Also, there's a fundamental difference. There's a company behind the value of a share. There are people working for that company, it's producing a good or a service. There's something tangible there against which to make an assessment of valuation. Youve said above "I think Bitcoin will rally before the alts". On the basis of what? Because it was that much before so it has to go that high again. That's just hope. You think Bitcoins a bubble..? Good luck with your shares when the Trump affect wears off. You’re going to need it.

You’re going to need it. Slice while it’s hot. It's gone from being worth coppers to being worth 20k, and the within a week it's dropped to 8.5k and NOBODY can give you an informed view on which direction it'll head in next. Because it has no intrinsic value and it's value is based ENTIRELY on the willingness of people to speculate on it. That is the textbook definition of a bubble. As for stocks, I'd be worried about the Trump effect if I was invested for the short term and needed to withdraw some time soon. I'm not and I don't. I'm looking to retire on this shit. If the markets crash though, like really crash, we're all fucked. The idea that you've bought your ticket to economic immunity by speculating on bitcoin is the stupid opinion here, not me thinking bitcoin is a bubble.

But I top slice and leave free rides whenever possible, as there’s always a bump around the corner waiting to happen.. in fact there’s one due anytime now!

adios 717 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Sorry, to break it down, BTC transaction fees are <10% of what they were during the recent rush. Is that due to the introduction of Segwit2 or is it due to the massive reduction in trading volume that was congesting the network, or both?

zerosum 234 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Not a good week for retirement funds either. Smells like a top to me. Look oot below. FTSE 7800 to 7400 in 2 weeks. Dow off the recent highs. The 2nd year of a newly elect president is nearly always a bad un for the markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been sticking with forex, only hold 2 stocks now - trimmed my pension and ISA early this year into mainly cash. and unfortunately still holding one alt-coin that’s looking sick as a dog ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
