    I’ve got a stake in a few. IOTA looks promising going forwards.

    Bitcoin is up 46% since January 1st.

    I think I'm going to dabble in a few alt coins. Probably XRP and Ada.

    That article is probably of some interest to the layperson but most of us on this Forum would undoubtedly benefit from something of a more academic nature.




    Jus' sayin'.

    Quite
    We’re often in Gemmell’s analysing Bayesian neural networks, and whether they affect the success of three up front, and of course the standard pub activity of chatting **** about Nakamoto’s systematic structural specification.

    Tell us something we don’t know

    Heteroskedasticity is far too long a word to be successful.

    EDIT. Just googled it....First hit..."Heteroscedasticity is a hard word to pronounce"

    Bitcoin this afternoon has hit a all tike high of $20,800.

    By this time next year it'll have hit between $80,000 and $100,000.

    I'm not in Bitcoin. But I do have a stash of alt coins.

    Probably sell around this time next year.

    I've got bitcoin and Ethereum, bought very early on so I'll just keep sitting on mine, I think there will be a correction soon, but long term only one way

    You set yourself a "get out" rate? It has to bomb sometime...bit like KC shares - choose your moment and dont have the "if only" regrets

    If you're not emotionally attached to them, think I'd be tempted to take out what you paid and let the rest go on a free ride with no stress involved.

    I've nothing set, with the way things are going recently with bitcoin now being used to pay approx 50% of an NFL players contract and more sports players wanting the same. Add to that musks renewed interest in Tesla/space X and bitcoin investment, I just don't see anything but it going one way ( with corrections dropped in along the way, but blips rather then long term drops )

    I'm still investing in it monthly and will continue to do so

    Musk mentioned Dogecoin and suddenly it's up massively.
    I hold Ve Chain, Chainlink and Bitcoin .
    It's a strangely thing and the fluctuations are wild at times

    Immense amount of noise around Bitcoin at the moment. Just tread carefully and keep
    A close eye. Signs are saying major correction incoming so money to be made if done correctly. If your hairdresser/granny is discussing then red flags being raised. If you have decent profit I would be tempted to take it. Doesn’t matter if it still goes up as you have made profit. Thats the point of investing. Greed and hoping to sell at a high leads to lost fortunes and profits. Be careful out there people

    Great advise! And way to many people don't think this way. A lot depends on the investors appetite for risk and wether or not they are trying to become well off over night ( which hardly ever works ) or they are looking for long term investment gains. The boom over the last year in day traders is a little worrying as most don't really understand what they are doing
