What do you think of Skycoin? That one, TRON, and Deep Brain Chain are my main holdings, but I also bought some CPChain and Banyan Network. I've been thinking of dumping Skycoin for more CP and Banyan and maybe some Elastos since I'm not sure if the founder made up that story about him and his wife (or girlfriend?) getting kidnapped and mugged by their marketing team in China.

I also discovered a coin called Dero recently. My understanding is that it's like if you combined Monero with Ethereum but with better privacy than Monero. The lead developer for that keeps his source code hidden which kind of seems like a bad idea, because he might just be distributing malware, but he had a community manager that seemed nice till she accused him of some shadyness. It doesn't sound like it's a fake project, though, just one where there's a risk the developer is secretly inflating the supply faster than they said and taking the extra coins. Even if that was true, since the market cap is so low, it seems like it's worth putting some sats into it on the chance it's not a scam.

6 things that don’t change based on the USD valuation of IOTA:

The value of data.
The clean energy revolution.
Machine economies.
Societal transactional inefficiency.
Trends of decentralization and digitalization.

Fiat graphs are measured by increasing hubris, always going up. Rational blockchain value stores dispense with such vulgarities and are thus properly measured by the proper and natural inverse relationship. It’s only once you shed your childlike tendency to look up that you see the true, orderly, tangible, and indisputable value that is bedrock beneath your feet below you. Buy IOTA.

When the crypto market is tanking like today, it's a good time to keep a cool head and look for opportunities. They say that you should buy when the blood is in the streets, even when it's your own and I try to live up to that.

I see an opportunity in Banyan Network. It's a Data Fusion Data Value Network and its coin is used to buy clean data for data value. While I'm not completely sure what that means, the price is less than a penny like Bitcoin used to be, so I'm going to spend my whole budget on it this month and eat ramen noodles. I will fall behind on child support this month, but my kids will thank me one day.

Right now is a really good time to buy. In the industry we call this "buying the dip" because the market has bottomed out and likely won't go anywhere but up. There's a chance it could fall further but at this point it's negligible.

am i too late for this?

At the time you would've made 20%, now if you buy this dip you'll make a lot more than that.

I remember during the real estate bubble, people were saying it was a good investment because it was real and not manipulated like dot com stocks.

I remember during the gold/silver bubble, people were saying it was a good investment because it was real and not manipulated like real estate.

This time though its totally real and not manipulated. I'm sure of it!!!



edit: this chart is a year old and not accurate any more....oh wait...
