Yeah, just a quick trade I think. I think I'm developing a strategy with these that if it's not moving in the right direction immediately (i.e. within an hour or so) I'll get out.Originally posted by VirtualMonkey View PostLooking for 15-20% on thisComment

Unregulated crypto margin trading - lose more than initial investment possible ? Any examples ?
liquidation margin hit = broker closes account. Good, should always happen.
What if natural disaster, assassination, terrorist attack, server failure etc. sends the markets reeling and broker unable to liquidate .. ? Crypto moves can be biiiig.Comment

Keeping an eye on Dash too. I think it may be at the bottom about now (~ 0.056). Not based on any real technical analysis, just that it seems to be bouncing around a certain range the last couple of weeks.
I might buy if it starts to to rise to about 0.0575 in the next hour or so.Comment

"99.5% of all crypto traffic was currency speculation before CryptoKitties"
"now a reason to worry about scaling .. actual usage, not just currency speculation"
"as stupid as it sounds, CryptoKitties will be written about in the history of cypto currencies, 3 - 5 years from now"
"game changer regarding adoption"

Bonkers. It really is just like the tulip mania bubble.
