Yes, about 2x as much.

I've probably made the most profit off verge at this point or at the very least 50% of my profit on it. literally all because I chose to take a gamble with no prior knowledge of it thanks to Asante and bought 200k coins for less than a penny right before it started to burst through the roof, unfortunately I'm not currently holding the same amount because I've traded some for others but still no complaints here. NOW ANSWER MY PM ASANTE

yeah I'm down a fair bit from even a week ago,t still way above what I've originally put in so im not real worried but I have been swapping coins around so I expected that to some degree especially with how the markets been recently.
I decided to take a relatively large gamble on Stratis, own a little over 800 coins for now and might end up getting some more if it goes down enough. They've been steadily growing and even in the shit show that the market has been lately its still been managing to reach new all time highs like yesterday. Down a decent amount since yesterday but a lot of alts are dipping. I'm hoping once they implement their ICOs/sidechains and really start marketing it'll pay off.
also does anyone know when the bitcoin silver fork will be or if bitcoin diamond can be claimed yet by people who owned bitcoin.

verge is apparently rolling wraith out as we speak so the price is bumping, thank fucking god since my anxiety was through the roof cuz of verge, so far my 25k gamble is at 35k so I'm praying it keeps going. If it hits 25 or maybe 30 cents I'm selling like 80-85% and leaving the rest in.

It all started on NYE when the developers put out the next release (Wraith protocol) a little later than advertised. They had said it was going to be out in 2017...but they missed that deadline by just a few hours and released in 2018 instead.
Then there was a flurry of tweets about how Wraith wasn't working (it was) and how it showed peoples IP address (it didn't). Definitely a lot of false information going around....
I still have made about 7x what I put in

One other quick piece of advice, mick: Don't overtrade!
Money is made during the calm period of patience that exists in between the purchase and the sale. Hyperactive trading has lost me more money than I'd care to admit (a lesson I've had to relearn time and time again throughout my tenure in the stock market).
In a more specific market note, decentralized exchanges are finding a pretty solid bid here. Take a look at AirSwap (AST), 0x (ZRX) and Loopring (LRC). Careful buying into the strength. While I would recommend having one or few of these on your books, don't feel like you need to pile in all at once right here, right now. Build positions in names you have confidence in over time, so as to take advantage of market weakness, then scale out as the opportunity presents itself. Buy the dips, sell the rips.
My allocations as of this afternoon:
- Cash ($) 16.5%
- NEO (NEO) 12%
- Ether (ETH) 11.5%
- Cardano (ADA) 11.5%
- Neblio (NEBL) 9.5%
- WaBi (WABI) 7.5%
- EOS (EOS) 7%
- Bitcoin (BTC) 5.5%
- ICON (ICX) 4%
- OmiseGo (OMG) 4%
- VeChain (VEN) 3%
- Monero (XMR) 3%
- AirSwap (AST) 2.5%
- Ripple (XRP) 2.5%

I have a small amount of Lumens, but I am tempted to buy more on these rumors.
Has anybody else been following these rumors? Any thoughts? Is it all BS?
Stellar is a promising project, the CEO of stellar also being the former CEO of ripple. Don't ever take my word for anything regarding crypto and make your own choices but I see stellar as being a promising project that'll go far no matter what in the long term.

Verge was the only one I've used reddit for because I took 25000 gamble on it and since it was so active I wanted to make sure I stayed on top of any news that was going into it, and I'm subsribed to stratis subreddit but that's literally dead for the most part at all times. The only research I do is using the websites of the cryptos themselves and using my gut feeling, I'm amazed and extremely lucky to of made as much as I have so far.

Great article trendal, and good timing to boot!
I'm finding it useful to regularly review my aggregate portfolio allocation, as my assets are spread across so many areas/exchanges that it's often difficult to obtain a birds eye view at a glance. Creating a high level snapshot helps ensure that my investment reality is in line with my psychological thesis and confidence in any given issue. As of tonight...
- Neblio (NEBL) 20.9%
- Cash ($) 13%
- Ether (ETH) 12.5%
- Bitcoin (BTC) 11.5%
- NEO (NEO) 8.7%
- WaBi (WABI) 8%
- VeChain (VEN) 4.5%
- Icon (ICX) 4.4%
- OmiseGo (OMG) 3.6%
- Cardano (ADA) 3.4%
- EOS (EOS) 2.8%
- AirSwap (AST) 2.1%
- Monero (XMR) 1.9%
- 0x (ZRX) 1.4%
- Dragonchain (DRGN) 1.3%
This makes it pretty clear that I'm far too heavily invested in NEBL, and should have unloaded more during the huge spike over the last two days. I did sell ~40% of my stack, but seeing that these coins still comprise a hefty 21% of my aggregate, indicates that I should be looking for opportunities to continue lightening up. I had rationalized that these particular coins are being staked for a 10% annual reward, and as recently as five days ago [the full position] accounted for less than 10% of my portfolio... but unless it's for a short term trade, I really don't feel comfortable having such a small cap issue hold such a large weight on my books.
Other notes to myself include wanting to rebuild my position in Cardano, although I will likely wait for a sale. I first got into this one around $0.10-$0.20 and have since cut the position in half. I do intend for it to be a long term holding however, and this is about as far back as I want to trim it. Trimmed EOS recently as it just hasn't been able to keep up with ETH. Would be interested in building up AST and ZRX, but only on pullbacks.
It does seem like we are witnessing the after-effects of a blow off top in many of the alts. They were fast and furious over the holidays, and likely got ahead of themselves. Happy to hideout in BTC, ETH and even pulling a bit more out to the good ol' USD standard, simply as a measure of discipline as quite frankly, I did not expect my crypto assets to grow this quickly.

Found myself tempted to put some cash back to work and buy some ETH and/or BTC this morning, but ultimately decided that I am not quite in the mood to catch a falling knife. What I noted as significant technical damage yesterday has only gotten worse. At this specific moment in time, selling pressure is taking a breather, however the steep downtrend channel remains intact on both of the aforementioned issues. Even if the primary downtrend is broken (as I suspect it will be within the next day or two) I believe there will remain a tendency to sell into strength and that ~$14K BTC and $1.1K ETH will act as a ceiling for at least a couple of weeks.
Position update:
- Idle Cash (USD) 39%
- Neblio (NEBL) 17%
- NEO (NEO) 15%
- Cardano (ADA) 8%
- WaBi (WABI) 5%
- VeChain (VEN) 4%
- EOS (EOS) 4%
- ICON (ICX) 3%
- OmiseGo (OMG) 3%
- 0x (ZRX) 1%
- Zap (ZAP) 1%

The vast majority of this market is undeniably a bubble, it's not so much having the nerve to hold through it, it's more like just being used to it The up and downswings crypto can have can be large and fast. Bitcoin has rebounded from "the bubble popping" at least 4 times, each time where that was said was a much higher crash then what was seen over the past few days, it just seems a lot larger due to the numbers being bigger. Percentage wise, not really anything new.
This isn't even close to the worst crash this market has seen and given the time of year it's not exactly unexpected either. I'll still say to trade cautiously especially for the time being, the roller coaster might not be coming to a stop within the next couple days but since it already halted the major crash I'll just guess and say the worst of it has passed at least for a few weeks/couple months when another crash hits.

Yes, look at all the people who sold out of btc when it went up to 100 and crashed down to 70 or whatever. They are kicking themselves now

I think that the development of off-chain channel based scaling strategies such as lightning network are a positive step forward. I also think that on-chain solutions such as sharding are equally important. Scalability is one of the biggest hurdles that must be overcome for distributed ledger technologies to achieve mainstream adoption, and I support active development of a multitude of strategies toward that end.
Neat discussion on scalability, more specifically related to sharding: https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Sharding-FAQ

Nice news on XRP there freezie, I haven't bought any since I unloaded my original $0.17 bag, mostly in the mid-$2's. Might have to rethink sitting on a little stash again, but prefer to keep more powder dry for ICO opportunities that may present.
Anywho, just wanted to drop in to attach a copy of a 71-page report JPMorgan put out on crypto a week ago. For anyone appraised and active in the space, there's really nothing groundbreaking in it, except for the fact that it shows the banks are definitely taking the space seriously, and expect it to be around for quite a while.
One of the more interesting tidbits in there, in my view...Quote:
The opportunity set around direct CC trading seems relatively limited, due in large part to anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) concerns, but in the near- to medium term, business models will likely need to evolve around the cost benefits of technology, including distributed ledgers.
[...]
Asset managers are in the early stages of cryptocurrency product development. There has been limited success in bringing products to market thus far. A leading issue is acceptance of the underlying cryptocurrency products, which yet appear to have the support of either the SEC or major distributors. While the recent launch of futures trading on the CBOE and CME would seem to help the fund industry with both improved Bitcoin price transparency and trading liquidity concerns highlighted by the SEC, we have yet to see product approvals and a growing number of funds are withdrawing applications. Security concerns have mounted in Bitcoin exchanges as hackers have infiltrated a number of cryptocurrency exchanges, generating large losses. Thus, while there has been a lot of talk about cryptocurrency funds, at this point in time there is little assets under management invested globally in such products.
That type of commentary (in conjunction with the tact that JPM opted to produce this report for their private clients in the first place) seems to corroborate that there is a lot of money (private and institutional) that wants to get in on the space but has not been able to find a way to, in large part due to fiduciary and regulatory roadblocks. This in effect strengthens my belief that we are still in the nascent stages of this asset class, and it would be folly to dismiss its potential going forward, even as the gains we have already witnessed have been astronomical.
