Thanks @pandorasbox ! I'm actually going to make it a thing now ha! It'll be good to demonstrate the many deaths of crypto.
Great news on your Monero purchase! I too have had my eye on many different cryptos so have been holding back for days like this (I'm now a crypto doomsday prepper). First thing I did when I got chance today was review my portfolio and see where I could buy decent amounts of other cryptos to the scales of my top holdings. Haven't quite got them all where I'd like them yet, but I believe January sales could run for a while longer yet.
Did you see my post on OmiseGo? I can't say any direction I think it'll take for sure, but all things are pointing the right direction and with news on Plasma due "soon", I'm happy to get involved a little more.
Oh yes I have a pretty good amount of OMG already and I plan to hold it for quite a long time still. Very promising project indeed! Not just plasma, but also the 'huge multinational partner' that is currently developing a wallet based on the OmiseGO SDK.
I am actually getting the Monero as a 'sort of prepping' way too!!
I have a bunch of crypto already and the more it becomes worth, the more I realize..... what if 10% of this were to remain.. you know, hidden. Can't hurt to have some secret stash of a few thousand that nobody knows about. Not intending to do anything illegal with it, but well... kind of like prepping! 'cause Monero is the most untraceable out there, and I think rich people have these thoughts probably way more than I am with my small amount of crypto...
So I think they will be buying Monero too. Seems like a very solid long term bet - as long as Bitcoin survives so will Monero I think. Perhaps it could even thrive despite Bitcoin? Who knows..
Since I have no privacy coins yet, figured I should get some Monero. Didn't much like the others... Monero is 'the one' when it comes to privacy, as much as Ethereum is 'the one' in platforms, or Bitcoin is 'the one' in simple payments.
Yeah, I've heard that even the FBI can't trace Monero! They've been saying that they can cope with most over time, but Monero simply cannot be cracked.
Totally agree on OMG. There's a lot more to it than we've really seen to date. Sure, it's just an ERC20 promissory note right now, but that will certainly change when they get the products rolling out. I particularly like their "unbank the banked" phrase. Takes a second look to get it, but a really strong statement for what many of us really want to see going forward.
Yup, OMG as the premiere plasma/Ethereum product... I see a bright future ahead. Palm Beach Confidential called OMG at $700 each in two years time. So let's see! Wish I could stake it, but probably have too little to do so.
By the way, I noticed that you are Steeming hard, but having some difficulty getting some good upvotes. I wanted to point out a super awesome 'trick' I discovered that may help you out significantly.
I recently joined @Qurator. It's pretty simple: You set up Discord, join the channel. Ask them to review your posts (for quality, plagiarism, etc.) and you pay a one-time fee of 2 SBD to join. After that, you are a member and get one free upvote a day worth not that much. But... that is 'level 0'.
After this, you go to steemvoter.com and set up steemvoter to auto-vote all the @Qurator's posts. This amounts to about 7-8 posts a week. This makes you eligible for tier 2 membership. This will make your daily upvote go up to about $1 a day, for as long as this project survives.
It has made a huge difference for me to have a $1 vote come in every day, at no cost other than the one time sign-up fee. Especially at your level when you're making $0.30 a post at times, perhaps even paying upvote bots for part of it too... it could be worth it to check it out. You'll find all the details on the @Qurator posts too.
One thing.. not sure how strict quality control is. But they don't like copy/paste jobs, and also look at image hosting. So instead of linking images from other sources, just download them and re-upload them. This avoids any abuse calls and all that. I personally also improved my formatting a little bit, to ensure I would qualify. But I do not know if it were necessary. Regardless, I got in without a hitch.
This got a bit long, hehe. But I thought I would help another minnow out :D
@pandorasbox - that's great advice. Thanks! I will definitely check that out! I try to make all content original, so hopefully should have no issues getting involved.
You're welcome!
Definitely do check it out! Well worth the small time and sbd investment!
