    I think we'll see Bitcoin and Ethereum hit all time highs in the next couple of months.

    Hopefully alt coins will follow them.

    Fingers crossed, I took a gamble and took advantage of the big drop and got more.

    You could wait until it bottoms out and spread the results over a range of upcoming crop of emerging futures

    China has just announced a ban on all cryptocurrencies.

    It happens quite a bit.

    It's a way to manipulate the market.

    Looks like I was right. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum within touching distance of a all time high.

    I'm just waiting for my alts to blast off now. Although they've taken a dip in the last week.

    I bought Nucypher at the beginning of the year and it lost 2 thirds of its value
    Woke up yesterday morning and it had gone nuts .
    Took my money back converted some to The Graph and have kept £60 worth .
    The Graph has previously followed Nu s pattern hopefully it will Again

    Good luck with your gambling. That's what it is.
    If you want to be almost certain of building wealth, read this .. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01H97OQY2/?tag=not606-21
    I wish I had when I was say in my 20's, although it still is relevant at any age.
    Pretty much no other way that brings such certainty, unless you think you are Warren Buffet maybe (which, putting it into some sort of context, is like saying 'I'm gonna be Messi").

    Almost all investment could be classed as gambling. For someone who doesn't like crypto you always seem to comment on the thread.

    You're right (on all that).
    However, anyone who's read that book (or similar) will understand intelligent investing is not gambling, but pretty much a nailed on winner (and very simple and easy).
    I comment as it troubles me that people waste their money gambling when they could instead be using that money to build real wealth and eventual financial freedom (especially if they start reasonably young). I've done more than ok but I still wish someone had educated me and I'd followed through when I was much younger. If even just one person had their interest pricked and they followed through then I'd be a happy man.

    Why does it trouble you what other people do with their own money? I don't care what you do with yours and you really shouldn't care what I do with mine unless it directly effects you and yours.

    For what it's what it's worth I read every single book I can lay my hands on re investing, I have been investigating in various stocks, shares, markets and fund/pensions since I was around 23/24. Crypto is a little bit of fun that I like to have and so far it's been a success.
