It's just too fast... My wealth doubled in the past 24 hours, that makes me a little scared, to be honest.  I was anticipating a long term invest...

Its really the instant transactions and other great features that makes bitsharesx so good.  Though NXT is going to be 2nd in the 2.0 sphere.

It is...but if you got in on the ground floor of APPLE, GOOGLE, YAHOO...etc, they were great long-term investments with huge increases in market cap in short periods of time.  This is natural...a crash may occur, but I am on the side of doubting it is huge when it does.

True story.  For my first few weeks being on bitsharestalk, when I read "Toast" I pictured Vitalik.  Really not sure why, but kinda lol ?

Possible, but I think it may just be that our Chinese friends have finally gone to bed. That was some impressive volume. A little profit-taking is understandable, but if someone were to sell now, before the assets have even come online? Bad time to be on the sidelines, if you ask me.

Does it really matter if your Bitcoin was bought at 1 usd or 10 usd ?

Bitcoin started with a market cap of "Hey guy, will you order me a pizza for a shitload?"

this started at 20 mil.

what a minute.  did vitalik buterin just imply that he definitely knows that bitsharesX will solidly stay at no. 3? 

we know crypto is volatile, and the no. 3 spot bitsharesX is in could be gone in a week or month or so due to high volatility.

but why congratulate bitsharesX for being no. 3 unless...  he knows it will stay at no. 3?

i'm actually helping this rally continue.

my sentiment is sincere. if we dropped back to 7th place I'd still have faith in the fundamentals, I'd still know to buy in.

but the universe never lets me have my way. so I'm helping this rally continue by repeating that over and over.

I will repeat myself.

I hear you buddy.  As the self professed worst day trader in the history of the world.  I am pretty sure that if I sold my car and used the funds to purchase BTSX it would cause a massive market crash.

Now that I think of it.  who wants to pay me to not invest more?

we all still kind of are insiders. 

If this thread ends up being one for the history books---https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=7245.msg96624#msg96624

then we are looking at 3.5 dollars each btsx.  I am not in any way the richest person in this forum...but that will buy me a decent house and still have money left over.  Then I would make it rain over my wife's head so she would praise me and apologize for all the times she got livid over me "playing with bitcoin".  I would win!---errr i mean be rich.  Not sure which one would feel better atm.

TITAN (transact invisibly), DPOS (Delegates + 15sec tx times + scalability out of the box) and a DAC toolkit for the creation and unmanipulated valuation of entire decentralized industries.   

Fundamentals are like....hm....let me find it, yes...here is what those fundamentals look like:

10 second block times which means average transaction is 5 seconds...I think. When you execute a market operation you are on average 5 seconds way from the next block.
