There was a time when some became fabulously wealthy selling tulip bulbs...

Pump and dump works, bringing fresh meat to the table every day. With bots running coordinated high volume trades it's tough to know which end of the rope you are on. Crypto is like playing hedge funds in many ways. It is gambling at Vegas tables and the house has better odds. You can still win big short term just like at the MGM Grand, but long term hedge funds don't even beat boring SP500 index funds. Feeling lucky?
Tulips indeed. https://venturebeat.com/2018/01/05/whats-behind-ripples-rapid-surge-panicked-investors-hunting-for-crypto-bargains/

Just like pump and dump penny stocks don't mean the entire stock market is a scam, not everything in the crypto world is a scam either. It's funny how people think Ripple's CEO being one of the richest people in the world is BS, yet accept that Warren Buffet is. Buffet is on record saying his "net worth" is meaningless. He has already earmarked his stock to various charities, and even if he didn't, he couldn't sell all his shares at the current BRK price. It would crash the stock price before he got 1/10th the way through. Same with Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos, etc etc. It's a joke to say ANY person is worth $xxx billions if it's all linked stock that is practically unsellable. No different that these new crypto billionaires. |

I was tempted to sell my Carrera for 3 bitcoins a few weeks ago....so glad I waited....today I can get 5 of 'em.
Imagine that I just knew those 1s and 0s weren't valued properly back then.... |

My company recently accepted a bank transfer for a payment for a project we did. Our bank charged us $10.40 for the honor of accepting electronic bank transfer. If I make a payment via ACH (Automated Clearing House) it "only" cost 40 cents for the transfer. Of course if we stick to checks and do it in the analog world there is no fee at all. And it cost them a lot to run a check. And the money if not really instant available like in the movies. They still had a 24 hour hold on the deposit for the bank transfer or the ACH. The interesting thing is that I have the company credit card set up on an automatic payment. The credit card company is authorized to withdraw the statement balance on the day it is due. On the current statement balance, and I can terminate that at any time or change it.

The fact that someone would freely admit that they "sold everything" to invest in one single issue speaks volumes about their knowledge base with regards to the global capital markets. Beyond that the SWIFT system does not take "days". Even further mentioning 100 banks as if thats some significant number is scary. 100 banks is a pittance, a microscopic number when compared to the number of banks on the planet. Additionally there is no real mention of the size of those banks or what sorts of "testing" they're doing with the system.
I am trying not to make this personal, I apologize. My thought is this...selling all your assets and buying into 1 singular asset is a very dangerous play. I just think its a dis-service to this community if that fact is not pointed out. My opinion is pretty clear, I would be very weary of commodity or coin which is backed by nothing.
