I´m not considering to put all my funds in one crypo. I just said I will start in this environment going for Stellar instead of splitting. I will just invest a small share of my whole cash. Along the time I can simply sell other assets and put funds in another crypo, or even sell Stellar (part or all) and go for a better project. I simply can´t find anything better ATM in terms of project, partnership and technology than Stellar.

And I just heard about it because of my research on Ripple. Stellar puts Ripple on the ground, simply because the future might be not being partner of the banks (who knows...just the way I see...).

The banks might not even exist in the future like they are based today.

Everything looks so odd now, about this forecasts, but do you imagine how odd was a guy telling another person about telephones, power/light, TV, TV with colors, internet, smartphones (would us think to use large and heavy phones instead of the shiny ones of Motorola and Nokia from 15 yrs ago)?

Everything new is shoking...I see the financial world crashing once more and fiat currencies suffering, once more. Crypo can protect us against inflation.

But you forgot that BTC works like a benchmark (at least nowadays). If it rises, the altcoins tend to rise. If it falls, the altcoins tend to follow. If it crashes, like this week...well, you got it!

If you see BTC going to USD 100k, for example, you can expect that altcoins tend to go up much more from current levels. Of course not all will follow up or down along the time, but anyway I think you got my idea.

Currently,   BTC has MK Cap of USD 200 Bn, with a USD 11,5k value. Multiple that by 10....USD 2 Trillion in MK Cap...

And so what? FX daily trade market accross the globe is much much much larger than USD 2 Trillion. Most people don´t see this already and think MK Cap works like a wall....if a crypo has a large MK cap than it can´t go further. Or it can´t go beyond BTC MK cap...

Why not?

Everything is new on this environment and MK Cap isn´t a barrier, soon this will be perceived...

Companies has a MK Cap and makes sense to compare them, because you can evaluate a company by its cash flow projection (one of the possible ways) and as such you can compare if a company is over or underevaluated compared to a peer. But crypo is another class...some think it  like a commodity, others like a currency.

I just see it as  a new class, and it has its own way to be evaluated. For sure a lot of the coins we see today will disappear. Maybe the coin we will all use in the future doesn´t even exist today. But we can expect some coins to have more projects to bet and this would translate in more adoption by the market and as such its value would rise.

Even if the market understand no crypo can surpass BTC MK Cap (which I think it´s stupid...), we all must expect this to rise along the time and this would allow more price rise for alt coins.

Just to be cristal clear, when I say I´m going all in it means in the way I´ll build a position solely on this crypo. But I have a lot of funds elsewhere, in many types of investments that could be converted anytime to another crypo. I also can simply put a stop loss on XLM and sell part after a run (if it happens) to jump in another crypo. I´m just saying that, right now, since I don´t have anything on the crypo ecosystem, I´ll jump in all in in Stellar, even though this would be a very small share over my all investments. If I understant any other crypo could have a bull run, I can diversify and buy on it, got it? 

I meant I will build a position on Stellar, but of course I will not put all my funds on it. If I find another good risk x return opportunity, I can convert more funds to a new coin. Agree with you, but this position will be just a small a share of all my investments.

I simply can´t find anything better in crypo universe than a position in Stellar now, considering the development of its projects, IBM partnership and soon to be announced new projects as well.

In the past 6 months I´d been studying crypo to jump in the market. I´m a longtime trader of stocks and options, over 10yrs, but crypo it´s an entire new ecosystem and should keep evolving, growing and it seems a correct moment to jump in steadly now, after this correction seems over. I think it will resume falling in the next days and maybe BTC will find support on USD 8/7k area which will ultimatelly provoke supports for altcoins likewise...

I was firstly considering Ripple, but my study in XPR devired to Stellar. After all my reading, I think the current discount of XLM to XPR should not be that large as it is, not to say they should at least be close in MKT Cap terms.

I will buy Stellar and hold it for long. Impossible to say where the price support should found ground, if USD 0,30 will hold or should it slide to 0,20/0,15. I really see this baby at least reaching 1,00 again, and if it succeed to broke this up, should move like Ripple and achieve 3,00 quickly.

Usually penny stocks has a relationship between some numbers, like 1, 3 and 5 as primary targets when it begins  ( those are prime numbers, have also some relation with fibo sequence). I think the development of a price building for crypo should follow such pattern.

All in for XLM!

I´m planning to buy some XLM and would like to store out off the exchange and online wallets.

Could anyone please provide a quick guide on how to create public and private keys and how to store the XLM balance to an offline wallet (not hardware one)?

I plan to buy and hold, thus the offline solution is recommended.

I understand the best thing to do is buy the position on the exchange, transfer 20 XLM to activate the offline wallet, confirm the balance went through there and just later transfer the whole remaining amount. Is that right?

Thanks!

Hi guys, I´m trying to get final account validation at Poloniex and Bitstamp, but both are saturated and didn´t confirm yet my data to allow me to operate on larger amounts.

I´m mostly interested in Ripple, but strugglin to find a thrusted exchange that could finalize my account quickly.

Any advices?

Nobres, não consigo finalizar validação de conta na FoxBit, Rippex e Walltime. Foxbit já tem 1 semana e nada até agora, tinham prometido para 08/01/2018 e agora passaram para 16/01/2018...Rippex sem sinal de vida.

Lá fora tentei na Bitstamp e também está sobrecarregada, sem retorno há mais de 1 semana.

Tá difícil operar este mercado....

Nobres, algumas dúvidas:

1) No caso de uso de carteira offline (papel), se eu tiver um BTC na minha custódia em papel, a rede automaticamente me dará o crédito do Fork (ex: 1 BCH para cada 1 BTC em carteira)?

2) Caso positivo, eu precisaria depois entrar com minha chave privada para, através de uma exchange, vender esta nova moeda que ganhei do fork? Entendo que há risco de rastreio da chave privada neste tipo de evento, expondo o resto da custódia. Como criar chaves privadas novas a cada fork?

3) Rippex é confiável no Brasil para transações de XRP? É possível ter XRP, BTC, BCH, tudo em uma mesma carteira offiline de papel?

4) Usando uma carteira de papel, para eu vender ativo na custódia basta ir numa exchange e digitar a chave para transferir o saldo (parcial ou total da carteira) para a exchange e então vender os ativos? Em quanto tempo esta transferência é feita para eu fazer o trade?

5) Vocês recomendam algum app de Android para ler o código da carteira em papel e automaticamente fazer trade da custódia? Entendo que facilitaria muito o processo, mas não tenho noção se é seguro.

6) É possível ter múltiplos backups? Ex: ter carteira em papel e ao mesmo tempo salva em desktop de um PC. Se eu perder o papel (obviamente não seria normal, mas aqui é um exemplo extremo) posso recuperar informação da custódia via aplicativo no PC? Isso permitiria o uso de um PC offline, que apenas seria utilizado como mais um armazenador de informação. Ex: usar um laptop velho.

6) Melhor Exchange no Brasil? Pelo volume de trades, Mercado Bitcoin e FoxBIT dominam...

Muito obrigado!
