Hi guys, disclaimer.. I am currently holding 100k Cardano. Not a fanboy, not a hater. Just trying to figure out what the real deal is with Cardano. I have mixed feelings about the Coin / Blockchain and the CEO.

There seems to be a lot of talk from the CEO, but rarely hard facts / features and deadlines. It seems more like a Theory than actually whats going to happen. ADA is presented as decentralized for months already but even until today parts of it are controlled by one company in Hong Kong (Input Output).

Diving into the Cardano community feels like a cult as well. If you dont agree with their Leader Charles, then shut up. Why is he streaming / talking so much? Wouldn't his time be better invested in developing Cardano?

Is it confusion on purpose? Let's use a whole lot of fancy names for our development stages, a whole lot of theory and confusing terms instead of hard facts?

What are the currenct features of ADA? What is coming soon? When is it coming? A lot of these answers are "Charles said a long the way".

This is not a hate thread, but I find it very hard to get any hard facts on Cardano and I start to feel like this is to be intented.

Please share your thoughts.

I am calling it today. Binance usually goes down during peak and panic trading, which makes fear and uncertainties grow bigger. Most volume is being handled by Binance world wide. We are in a sad state with all these beautiful decentralised crypto currencies, but we all went for one exchange plattform because of low fees and convenience.

Check out the Google Play Store reviews for the PDAX app. Most users complain that they shut down the app/website for 2h daily for maintainance, lol.

Thanks for voiting and joining the discussion, guys! I've bought seven different coins, in order by amount:

1. BTC
2. ETH
3. BNB
4. ADA
5. XMR
6. XLM
7. EOS

Will do some research about NEO today, too. I will post updates or screenshots soon.

Looks great. Thanks for open sourcing this. I'll give it a try.

Great buddy. Will look into these coins right now. Already bought Cardano and Ethereum a couple of days ago.

I'm highly confused, guys. The majority of people here tell me not to invest in crypto, in a forum about crypto investments. What's going on?

Maybe there is a misunderstanding. The 212k I'm about to invest do not represent 100% of my assets, they're more like 8% of my total assets. I own a 2 hectare (4,8 acre) property with buildings and infrastructure, value investments stocks from big US companies, 8% gold and the rest (40%) is liquid. I've invested 8% in gold already, and I was planning to invest 8% in crypto. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with asking users who deal with crypto daily and do a lot of research about their favorite coins, too. I'm planning to buy coins based on value (tech, usability, privacy, safety...) and prices are going down currently, it could be the perfect time to buy some.

I do understand that crypto currencies are highly volatile, don't follow rules of the stock market. I also believe if you make the right choice in technology and ignore market movements for a while, that there is a chance to succeed. Long story short, I'm willing to loose 8% of my assets.


Thanks, buddy. I think what made my investments so far successful was a complete emotional detachment from money. It's just numbers on a screen. I'm lazy, too. I'd rather not check my portfolio daily. I check my stocks every three months.

I'd be happy if more people decided to vote. Collective intelligence is a beautiful thing.

This is how I made 100k. Kim Dotcom advised to invest in BTC back in 2015. This forum is about investing and trading. Holding the money won't give you any interest at the moment, I dont get your point. Nice Casino ads in your signature, btw.

I wont gamble with it, don't worry buddy.

Thanks for sharing and for your concerns. What alts have currently potential you think?

I agree with that strategy. And thanks for your honesty. Still curious about your recommendations.


Thanks for your vote. If 2021 is the maximum of the cycle, why not invest early and buy cheaper? Honest question, maybe I didnt get what you meant. I dont enjoy casinos


Yeah, let's call it 7 maximum. That was my limit with companies in the stock market always. The lucky number 7. I dont mind getting more Bitcoin at this point. I like your portfolio, thanks for sharing.

What I dont get about Binance.. They're fairly new. Founded in 2017. Whats their story in a nutshell? Why are people trusting them so much, how did they become popular so quick and why is Binance a good coin?

That is great! I didnt know about it. Let's make our own experiment then and see if we can do better by selecting only 10 coins.

I agree. I won't buy stuff blind in the end, double check everything before buying. Losses are an accepted outcome in this. Thanks for worrying though.

Sounds good, cheers mate.

That is good advice in general. But loosing all is an accepted outcome for me with every investment. I'll do more research of course before buying suggested coins. I'm just trigger happy at the moment.

Thats good advice, too. I'm done with real estate though. Invested in a big property two years ago and developing it currently with buildings, fruit trees and forest.

Thanks for your advice on coins. Did you vote on that website, too?  https://linkto.run/p/3TWCU4X1

Backstory: I've bought 8 Bitcoins in March, 2015 for 230 Euros each BTC and totally ignored it since last week. I was just not interested in Crypto so far. A couple of days ago I decided to invest a total of 212k USD in Crypto. Things changed a lot since 2015, I'm completly overwhelmed by the amount of crypto currencies.

I could do weeks and months of research now, or do this experiment which I'll call "Project: 212k USD Swarm Intelligence Crypto Currency Investment". This could be a fun ride for all of us.

I'm not a day trader, and I dont want to become one. I'm invested in the stock market, bought 6 years ago and never sold. I like value investments, patience and profit in the long run. It worked for BTC so far. With your help I want to invest more and diversify to a maximum total of 10 7 crypto currencies.

Some easy conditions:

1) Everything we buy will be kept at least until Dec 31, 2019.
2) I'll keep at least 30% of my Bitcoins.
3) Only Top 50 Crypto Assets by Market Cap.
4) Vote ends on August 5, 2019.
5) If we spot good opportunities before Aug 5, we can buy coins worth 5k USD daily.
5) I wont cry if I lose all the money, but would prefer if we double it by the end of the year.
6) Voting only here, to make it easier to keep track of the results: https://linkto.run/p/3TWCU4X1

Here is a screenshot of my crypto currencies as proof, the major share is on a Exchange*, my Atomic Wallet and Monero Wallet. I'm waiting for a bank transfer to my Bitstamp account worth of 100k Euro to come through. This will give us around 212665 USD to invest. If you guys need more proof, let me know. This is serious.

*Why are my BTC on a Exchange? I was not able to verify my account properly, so they put a 5k withdrawal limit on the account. This sucks, but was actually the reason why I've never sold my BTC. So it was lucky in the end. Until Aug 5, 2019 I'll have all BTC moved to my wallet.

Thanks everyone for joining this venture. Your votes are highly appreciated.

Edit: It would be nice if someone could recommend a nice web portfolio where I can enter the transactions for everyone to follow.

I'd be happy if more people decided to vote. Collective intelligence is a beatiful thing. 1000-2000 Votes would be great.
