BTC and ETH are way overvalued IMO. Currently have some stakes in XRP. Going for the long haul with this thing.

Is anyone day trading crypto's? Seeing some big opportunities day trading these.

Zcash and Ethereum should do well long term. Dips and pullbacks create buying opportunities

I hold some BTC, LTC and ETH. Majority in ETH.

BTC is undergoing a fork come August and things may get wild so would not recommend anyone go into BTC at the moment as it's uncertain which way it'll go. ETH and LTC are generally safer and especially if BTC tanks a lot of people will seek shelter in these 2.

This will be quite interesting to see if the Central Government starts to buy Bitcoin or other Cryptocurrencies.

I mined bitcoins on a single GPU for a couple months, years ago. I had a few BTC when the bubble hit and suddenly they were worth over $4k.

Lost my wallet a little while later after wiping a drive I thought I'd backed up, but hadn't. I've lost worse, but that was disappointing. Since then the ASIC miners and stuff took off and I haven't touched it.

You should get one of those portable devices to save on externally

I expect big losses to be followed by big gains.. My guess is that this current drop will create a huge buying opportunity. With new requirements there will most likely be a shortage of Cryptocurrency coins which should lead to another spike

Either that or just buy a dedicated iPad or notebook just for this cryptocurrency. I would not surf any website with that tablet or computer except to trade Cryptocurrency. Would Lee device strictly for trading cryptocurrency only. Only use it with severe wifi at home. Never at any public wifi.

I have not been able to get Kraken verified my account for some reasons, so I picked Gatehub instead. Been a pain to get the xrp and paid higher fees, but no choice.

I hold my xrp on Gatehub instead of having my own offline wallet. Will look into offline wallet in few months when I get more xrp. Wished I can do usd/xrp!

These dips have created good buying opportunities this week. Good to buy all these pullbacks for long term hold. Long term these dips will all pay off

Agree with you somewhat, I'm having the exact same thoughts this is a good time to buy if holding for 1-2-3 years perhaps.
But on the other side you have to watch out to not catch a falling knife as things could be heading further down.

I keep iterating this to people, NEVER INVEST MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE TOMORROW.
