News about Bitcoin have been pretty good lately and overall development has been making progress.
Price is pretty stable these days so I assume we are getting close to another bullish run and probably another all time high in few months.

Really good time to invest in my opinion. If you were going to buy some more BTC, you should do it now.

My gf is pretty angry at me regarding bitcoin to be honest. If I’d cashed out at the ATH I’d have become a millionaire. At the current prices with my HODLED stash, I’m not.

She keeps telling me ‘bitcoin is finished, it must be over, you should have cashed out, we’ll never get another chance like that’.

It’s times like this I look at different charts from the past that show % drops from ATH’s & then look at the subsequent recoveries & new ATH’s that makes me smile & know everything will be ok.

Look out for 6-12 months after the next halving, that’s when I believe we will be wealthy bulls Cheesy


Tell her your in it for the movement, not for the money.
You aren't here to get rich, but to make a difference.

She'll stop bothering you and might even respect you for it.

OT : Hey guys, isn't it great that Ripple has a "product" launching soon?

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/17/ripple-hints-cryptocurrency-product-xrapid-will-go-live-soon.html

I mean, isn't that what we all want for our cryptocurrency? To be commercialized and commoditized for a centralized company's profit? /s  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

And of course there's this, lol:

Ripple, founded in 2012, owns about 60 billion of the 100 billion XRP tokens in circulation

Ripple really shouldn't be considered cryptocurrency.

Why even put it in the above list of 10 top coins, when there is no reason to consider it a cryptocurrency if it doesn't need a blockchain.
You could just make the whole system more efficient and make it a simple centralized payment processor.

So many projects nowadays forcefully put their data into blockchains when they don't need them.
Just makes the whole system slower for no reason.

Since they are already centralized, one of these days they will come up with an amazing new unique idea to replace a blockchain with a simple ledger for efficiency purposes. They will become just a normal bank and reach their full potential.

The really goofy part is the idea that Ethereum is somehow a safe haven with a clear road is ludicrous.

I personally think that Monero is more likely to outlive Ethereum, then other way around.
Monero has a pretty time-less value, in my opinion.
Not just for privacy, but for it's constant GPU mining as well, due to it's occurring forks to keep ASICs away.

Ethereum on the other hand, I don't know. It seems to be in that very competitive, very fast evolving market. Unlike most altcoins, it is useful, but I do have my serious doubts about it's stability and longevity over decades.
