I add to this list of course SHIBA, now it has bounced off its expected base line, and I periodically as a Trader clear my account and switch to SHIB focus for a few hours-days for example, and also in due course will add ETH, once Bitcoin eventually breaks beyond $70,000 USD resistance.

My main goal though is to build the appreciating stable coin, Meta 1. Today it has crept steadily to nearly $152 USD. I anticipate this at $500 USD by 31 March 2022, and $2000 USD by year end 2022, especially when the bear market returns. Really what else do you want?

From mid year 2022 it will have a VISA Debit card and a credit line based on 70% of coin value holdings. Gains will far exceed holding costs monthly.

Regarding my core six coins however - always BUY on dips and use DCA other times. Sell near market top using DCA also. That way you never miss market cycle bottoms or tops.

With Roulette live I finish terminally at my NZ local casino Friday because of the insane NZ  Vax Mandate and a socialist government with a deluded globalist as PM.  I have new priorities and values now, but will still use Bet 365 live a few times weekly overnight. It requires a unique strategy because of fast timing, but once adapted for, the Casino options are good, and the cash is always back in my bank the next morning. Politically and socially NZ must face some harsh new wake up calls in 2022 and I think there will be much confusion in coming years till truth is faced 2023. I may re-locate to Ireland via Australia during 2022-3.

Hi/ thx XXVV. I appreciate your comments/thoughts re: Crypto (& roulette too).

XXVV in reply #28: "...So in a few boom cases on some short cycles of a few days or so, such as GALA or Avalanche or CRV or Shiba Inu can rise massively in hours, buy also fall dramatically. It is like surfing - all about timing and balance when to get on or off.

Last night, even though working with a modest Risk Bank I made about 30% overall return on the RB and cashed out, returning coins to Bitcoin and then selling or holding some profit long term. .."

     I think this is crucial when playing the crypto volatility to then move into a more stable investment vehicle(in your case Bitcoin). Same as in gambling too, or most any market IMO. Plus once the crypto field becomes more regulated and shakes out the weak link(s) we may only have the more stable cryptos around. Which will likely be a good thing. I do not foresee exchanges accepting all cryptos for payment. Thus the crypto markets will eventually become a "survivor of the fittest" game. 

Your posts have inspired me to spend a significant amount of time in self-study research on cryptos for past 12 months. Historically I'm not one to go on Baccarat sites to solicit investment expertise. However, much of what you say and references to other sources have proven beneficial. I've also learned in the past 2-3 decades to not go on investment sites in solicitation of investment expertise.

Until recently I did not own any (absolute 0) cryptos. Mainly due to distrust and or naivety. Historically I viewed cryptos as (there is no intrinsic value, or when Bitcoin drops to XYZ price I will buy(it never did) and I watched it soar like many others on the sideline.

Re: Meta1--I've been to their website and researched alot . I like what I see thus far with the main appeal being that part of its value is tied to precious metals. I have several decades of experince trading/investing in precious metals so I may be a little biased. Overall I like most everything I see about Meta1.


My great great great Uncle Confucius once told me:
"Grasshopper--Gold is the only real currency, everything else is just credit."



Continued Success,

Thank you.  Lovely post. Sorry to be a little slow in response but have been in focus on a great new phase rebuilding my studio office and installing new screens + much establishing order.

During this harsh corrective phase in the crypto markets it is a good time to reverse psychology and acquire bargains. I feel the boom sub cycle will come in weeks- months ahead and well into 2022.

On Bet 365 live I can acquire steady small risk profits based usually on very short sessions ( less than 30 mins) just fishing, awaiting those sub cycles with 3-5 consecutive hits.  2 consecutives are enough to break even, small profit but the third inward is icing on the cake, although again and again I aim for sat +100 units and use that to fund fast bitcoin transfer into Meta Exchange and thus transfer into M1 coins which are at about $157 USD and climb at present at a rate of 15% per week. Not bad for a stable appreciating coin not even fully launched till early 2022. Recall I bought in at $22.22 USD 3 years ago to the day.

So my goal is to steadily add yo my wallet using roulette and bitcoin. Nice mix.

Now this weekend I will list my best latest update crypto advisers. They are very good. Some are patreon, some still free.

Best Wishes
R.

My correction. About 15%+ per month. Today the market value of M1 is $160USD. This is a stable and appreciating coin, about $1 + day present. Contrast this with the nightmare volatility of Bitcoin. Think again. Those 'Whales' - their greed will cost/ kill it for everyone. Best Wishes R.

February 2022

Sorry for long absence but there was much investment business to deal with as the end of year did not go according to plan. I do not trade anymore manually with cryptos as the manipulation of whale selling sweeps wipes out short selling. Swing trading is better but best of all is very patient dollar cost averaging on best selected coins. Such as BTC, ETH, and now M1 or Meta1.

My investment in M1 has done well as it now trades at $229 USD. I bought at $22 about 3 years ago.

It is not the first time I have praised this coin and cynics and scoffers can smile but the team behind M1 I know, have met, and I admire their values. Robert is a hardened Houston businessman and made his fortune in 2008-9. The Meta1 coin as a stable coin I believe will be a welcome haven and oasis in bear markets, and through the shakes of 2022.

meta1.io is the website and read the white paper and conduct your own due diligence.

If you want personal contact with me and references please contact me via my email address.

I am a major investor with the coin and anticipate $1000 USD + by end of this year.

And $10,000 USD within 3 years.  It is an appreciating stable coin, gold reserves and smart contract to prevent any sale less than its guaranteed reserve which at present is about $190 USD.

My view is that it doubles in value every Quarter.

It will be fully listed and fully public by Q3 with its own VISA card, and with its own bank, Meta Investment Bank. Borrowing is available to coin holders on asset coin value held.

After the madness of the crypto booms and busts I think it is perfect. All my predictions for last year were wildly optimistic, and will be achieved, but later. Even Man Keiser, usually so accurate was wrong and he simply offers the same target $220,000 for end 2022. But really who cares.

Again through my friends at M4 who I have known for several years, I also have access to proven bot micro trading on FX and cryptos. This is fantastic. It is totally hands off, totally automated, with a minimum bank of $3000 recommended. I suggest $20,000 would be better.

Contact me if you want any assistance or introductions.

This is all peace of mind investing, without stress, worry or fear.

Then I am able to play roulette eventually, probably by end of this year, with truly 'free money', and then it is fun, and we can play to our heart's desire.

Best Wishes and Happy New Year to all.

Richard

Greetings.  Update prior to Ides of March. Eventful and interesting time!

Our M1 coin is today $275 USD.  We expect it to reach +$1500 USD by end of year when value increase momentum will increase as bigger market is accessed and understands this 'appreciating and stable coin'.

By end of Q3 (end September) we will have VISA debit card option, new security and mobile app available, with most significantly, collateralised loan available based on coin value assets held as security.

I will use this to buy more coins.

Recall, I bought my coins at $22.22 USD, so enjoy a 12x growth in 3 years. This is now accelerating and by end Q2 the coin will be available on major exchanges.

The time to buy Bitcoin is now in the best zone according to Steve at CCU, and this is confirmed by other institutional investors and advisers based on trading history prior patterns. However there may still be high volatility ahead, with risk of fall to even $14,000 USD, but more likely massive 70%+ corrections ongoing. This can be avoided by going to Meta 1 coin.

I am still NZ based, and quite reclusive at this stage but will expand after May when good health should return to this currently very divided nation. Politically I expect the exit of the insane Labour government, and because of such political over reach such as in Canada and Australia, we all need to value and celebrate true freedom, and not the sinister promises of the World Economic Forum acolytes. They are evil.

I use Bet 365 for occasional roulette variation games, but have now avoided my original casino for six months, for privacy reasons.

I hope to have some excellent news to report by May, and this involves US investment work and opportunities.

In the meantime I recommend Silver, Gold, stable coins, Bitcoin and Ethereum, XLM, Theta and XRP, with SOL and Luna. However top I recommend Meta 1 coin. Access via meta1.io and if you require further comment or guidance please contact me.

Best, Richard

Hi XXVV
I hope this finds you doing well.

Any updated opinions re: meta1.io ??
Opinions on other cryptos?

Thanks in advance,kfb

Access to Meta 1 coin ( M1 is my shorthand) is now through  meta1.vision

Coin value today has risen to $350 USD

Value has risen +850% since I first invested as hardliner seed capital 3-4 years ago.

I can more confidently now recommend the coin as it starts to expand in public awareness and will be available on multiple exchanges later this year and will eventually list on coinmarketcap.

It is an appreciating stable coin and by smart contract has a capital reserve backing in gold, and also cannot be sold less than its reserve value, ie is therefore not extremely volatile like bitcoin, ethereum and all the other material on the crypto markets.

Privacy and extreme security is a priority and is based outside of US Federal restrictions.

I personally know the founding team and have trusted them since my first meeting in Philadelphia, and then Houston in 2018.

We note the price doubles every Quarter, and I personally anticipate a value of +$10,000 USD per coin within 5 years, probably sooner.

The coin will have its own VISA debit card Q3 this year and will have a banking asset Vault for collateral lending and finance by end of year.  Banking in the Vault will earn at least 10% pa on your account investment.

It is amusing. I gave many coins I had bought as gifts to friends and family 3 years ago. No-one thanked me. Some experts derided me and certainly ignored my updated information statements in a few private blogs and postings.

We shall see what they all think by Christmas 2022.

I am proposing to harness the humanitarian funding for building and social economic projects in New Zealand, Australia and Ireland in the next 3-5 years.

Best Wishes
Richard

Update on M1 coin and Future Plans

Value approx $360USD and has risen 108% in last 3 months, ie one Quarter Year.

We just completed a Zoom Call with Robert Dunlap and COO, setting out confirming road map goals next 2-3 months.

VISA card is expected by end of that cycle which will assist liquidity, and confirms expansion, marketing and liquidity increasing steadily.

META VAULT ASSOCIATION will handle banking and funding, so we anticipate collateralised loans by October 2022.

My business plan ahead is to build a self renewing cash fund by leveraging acquisition of additional coins at every Q as price doubles, and steadily borrowing at the basis of 66% value, on a 2-3 year plan. Interest rates will be very low. Three M1 accounts will be established, one of which will be for private family access only.

Example of usage from a self sustaining spring of financial resources

#1   give away free money  - to the street needy and homeless in my home city, province and nation
#2   to travel widely and disburse funds worldwide, traveling in comfort by sea and by air - keep a video record
#3   to be able to go to a cash teller machine anywhere and draw down (say) $1000 USD then invest one third of those funds
       donated back into a second M1 trading account, use $600 daily at any local casino for roulette and selected slots - keep a
       video record, and donate generously to staff and anyone seen in need ( not gambling losers). Gain = Expenditure
#4   the second M1 account is exclusively a bot crypto multi micro sum trader growing exponentially over a 5 year cycle
#5   one day a week devoted to exotic bets on racetrack betting and sports betting (weekend), possibly a stables complex
#6   establish a foundation, one per chosen nation, to assist and encourage freedom of thought, education, training and arts
#7   design and build one home every three years
#8   open gallery for fine arts and creative studio adjacent
#9   build a performing arts centre and forum for meetings as a small independent college

By planning such specific fun expressions developed from general goals leads the mind to attract momentum and success.

I have other financial programs underway parallel with M1, and these have even bigger and faster growth capabilities when they are approved. I will be happy to share information and access once underway and non disclosure agreements are freed. This might be a 3-5 year plan.

Think boldly and expansively to experience fun and creativity while assisting a growing confidence in society to break free of past shackles and self imposed limitations.

Note : the risk of loss in gaming is identified and is covered by a 33% donation to a specific growth fund that has proven earning rates over a 12 month cycle. Therefore expenditure = gain. Risk Money is thus 'Free Money'. This idea was given to me after hearing of a gambling addict known to friends of mine who, having inherited a rich estate from a deceased husband, played on the slots at a local casino withdrawing $1000 per day, and consistently losing the total sum. She is currently banned from my local casino not for excessive losing, but for abusive language to a current greedy boyfriend. Lol. I wish her well, and a speedy recovery. All she needs do is put one third of her daily drawdown into dollar cost averaging bitcoin, or some such. Of course I would recommend Meta 1. Best Wishes. This is a serious set of notes. We shall see what unfolds.

       

Thx XXVV--appreciate the informative post above/ u offering opinions and knowledge  on cryptos. It appears Meta1(M1) is holding tough in past week(i think it was around the $360ish USD range the last i checked few days ago). A very good sign imo as you know all markets are down in past few days(even my gold/plat/silver are hitting some small bumps).

I've spent more time in past year researching and studying (due mostly to your posts and links) then in my previous nine years or so since Bitc arrived. I still consider myself naive and uneducated on all things cryptos.

The most concerning part of this learning curve has been the discovery of and abundance of false information by many experts, media, economists, crypto mgr , ...etc pumping cryptos.  Even if my assertion is in error my deduction is that "they all can't be correct" as there also seems to also be very little consensus in the crypto world. It seems many crptos constantly propagate: Invest in my crypto because its special and all the other cryptos are junk,...etc. It makes me wonder which of the few will still be standing five years from now. Just my opinion of course.

I've been researching not only M1 but other cryptos as well. Alot of shaking out of the weak links starting to happen. This should help the larger, the  more efficiently managed, and  the more established( and even the smaller ones that present as seemingly based on a more solid foundation) survive the shake out.

I see Bitcoin last week was in the 36-42k range. I will likely buy a larger stake in Bitcoin in the 20-23k range as my research and analytics a yr or so  ago suggested that as a potentially worthy buy price range. It was in the high 50K range at that time. I may never see that price as I've been waiting for a yr or two. I made a tiny equal-amount purchase of BitC and six other cryptos a few months back as I took approx $7k from Bac winnings and spread evenly across seven cryptos that I had been following/researching (All--100% of them are significantly underwater, and some I could say in the toilet they are so far underwater, lol). So my opinion and price range projecton may or may not have much validity. We shall see.

I like that M1 is tied to a gold standard(although I can't find on their site (and can't ever get a chat response on their site--maybe due to time zone differences) as to whom the 3rd party is that would hold the gold bullion and how is this verified). Maybe its on the site and I simply missed it.

*Noted this week that ceo of MCC(Mining Capital Coin) was indicted in $62 million crypt fraud scheme. I expect we will see more story lines like this in the near future. Probably see an increase in more stories of crptos being hacked too-- As a % it may or may not be much different from other investment vehicles.


Thx again/good investing to all,

Thanks KFB - a really interesting and very informative response.

Well a lot can happen in 4-5 days and we have seen a healthy correction to the crypto market, one that had been anticipated for some time, but more is being revealed daily of a vastly corrupted world of business. It may be a destructive 9 months ahead and I have been cautioned over further conflict and global unrest Sept-October. The lunar eclipse tomorrow will be very stirring deeply into global consciousness.

10,000 cryptos now and how many have any real value. And of Bitcoin, despite the arguments of Max Keiser ( now very quiet after Russia TV was taken off the air in the west to many), has no intrinsic value, and is ridiculously volatile. Well maybe Simon Dixon of BTTF can make a stronger case. It leaves me very concerned, and so therefore the solution must be stable coins. Lol.

Or maybe not when you consider the manner in which UST crashed unpegged and Terra-Luna is nearly zero ( after $107 USD a month ago) although I see in the past 12 hours has risen +340%, but still a precarious punt, at 0.0005 USD.

Meta did come under attack from GoDaddy and other interests a few weeks ago and that is why they have set up an entirely new and free domain, Meta1.vision. And in the past week Meta Exchange also was attacked and so they too have shifted domain to Meta-Exchange.vision ( please check this as I saw this latter only first a few hours ago). There was also a shabby libel attempt regarding an old Fine Art issue. Robert Dunlap is a conservative and brilliant businessman and art collector. He had a fortune prior to the work establishing Meta1. Brilliant new ideas and idealism will attract attacks from an old and corrupt system, and that is the process at present birthing blockchain. 

Today M1 is stable at $365 USD.

Doubtless there will be considerable analysis and study underway as the integrity of stable coins is questioned, and I see even Tether was unpegged briefly and slipped briefly to 97c instead of $1. I am advised Tether may be using Chinese property bonds as 'securities' and they are falling in value.

I will report again on the 'appreciating stable coin' early next month after the next M1 Zoom.

It is likely Bitcoin may encounter a second and heavier wave in coming weeks/ months to test down to $14,000 USD, maybe $20K, but this is a good time to DCA for Bitcoin, and Meta1. Anything else I really would not trust. I use Steve at CCU and Benjamin Cowen as wonderful analyst.

Best Wishes
RR

Hi XXVV --hope u are doing well.
Hopefully Meta1 is progressing as expected. Any thoughts or updates for public consumption is welcomed.
I also miss your opinions/thoughts all things Roulette.


Im still watching/researching many for potential long-term investments down the road. I view the blockchain technology and other similar tech that has or will be developed as the value, and not necessarily what the current crypto co seems to be advertising. At this point it seems they can literally make any claim they desire. 

For the most part my time is spent trying to sort ones I think will still be around through 2024-25 and ones that will fall by the wayside.
In an unregulated world re:all things crypto, the survival-of-the-fittest system will address the weakest of the weak. Which will be a good thing until they either regulate themselves and or government regulates.

Hopefully they(cryptos) will choose to govern or at least offer some type of regulatory body(Maybe they are already trying/im not aware). We all know what happens when government lends their expertise to anything/decides to manage or regulate something. 

My personal thoughts are: The shakeout of cryptos and other weak investment vehicles has already begun. Due in part to the above as well as government-induced inflation.

Just my opinion of course.  Im not advocating the potential investment value of the group called cryptos. Nor am I refuting the potential for this large group called cryptos. Im a novice crypto investor that is working diligently to increase my knowledge base. I welcome others thoughts, ideas, and counter opinions.

'The Music has Stopped' : Crypto Firms Quake as Prices Fall


From today's NY Times:


'The Music Has Stopped': Crypto Firms Quake as Prices Fall
Crypto companies are laying off staff, freezing withdrawals and trying to stem losses, raising questions about the health of the ecosystem.


Over the last two years, as the prices of Bitcoin and other virtual currencies surged, crypto start-ups proliferated. Companies that market digital coins to investors flooded the airwaves with TV commercials, newfangled lending operations offered sky-high interest rates on crypto deposits and exchanges like Coinbase that allow investors to trade digital assets went on hiring sprees.

A global industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars rose up practically overnight. Now it is crashing down.

After weeks of plummeting cryptocurrency prices, Coinbase said on Tuesday that it was cutting 18 percent of its employees, after layoffs at other crypto companies like Gemini, BlockFi and Crypto.com. High-profile start-ups like Terraform Labs have imploded, wiping away years of investments. On Sunday, an experimental crypto bank, Celsius, abruptly halted withdrawals.

'The Music Has Stopped': Crypto Firms Quake as Prices Fall https://nyti.ms/3mKYUcr

Thx 8OR9 and alrelax--good read.

Personally, I feel the investment in its use(utility to move money without banks) will be here forever. That technology is the part of Bitcoin that is here to stay and will always have investors. However, investing in bitcoin as a commodity (a coin with physical intrinsic value) is the part that has been pumped/that perceived value is what we are seeing plummet. IMO it should be viewed as a tech company and NOT a commodity. There will likely be only a select few remaining from the cleansing that do indeed serve a utility/purpose that warrants an investment. My personal opinion.


I really liked the following response  to an investment funds Mgr / explanation of her company's  exposure to bitcoin. This is an example of public belief or disbelief in all things crypto. It seems there are two groups of people: One all in for crypto and the other says it's a fallacy. The commentors reply to this lady's interview is a classic.

Just as in gambling it seems the more extreme ones belief the more tightly one clings to that belief.


I posted the commentors response to this lady trying to explain her and her companies theory/ exposure to Bitcoin/cryptos, and the recent Bitcoin plummet from 60K through 29K (Previously pegged as the floor), now at 23k , as "just a blip". 
This is spin city and would make any system seller or politician proud.
___________________________________________________

"..."That zone has twofold importance. A lot of people will remember the $19,500 level as being a former peak. And because the market's memory acts this way, if Bitcoin gets back there, you may see people say: 'I would love to get back in at that level.' Just think about the market psychology. That's what creates the phenomenon of resistance becoming support," she explained..."

"...What we're trying to do with these indicators is to make sure that we're on the right side of the prevailing trend...."

"..."Any risk asset that you look at is in a downtrend. This is why we have to contextualize the short-term rallies as being counter-trend," she noted. "When you see oversold conditions sustained, that means that you're in a downtrend."..."

"...going forward is that this downtrend in Bitcoin will hold until there is a meaningful momentum to change the narrative. But even when that occurs, the shift will be slow and dominated by extensive sideways trading.

"I suspect that that will occur not in a dramatic fashion but rather after a basing phase. A decline of this strength and magnitude doesn't tend to end quickly or easily. It usually is a process. And that process is characterized by an initial support discovery, but then often a series of re-tests of that support, which overall may end up looking more like a sideways trading range before Bitcoin and others can advance from that posture," she described...."

"..."However, Bitcoin could expand its risk-off characteristics as it matures and gains more institutional exposure. "As it matures more from a fundamental perspective, that's when you could expect that it takes on its own characteristics in a way that I feel it hasn't done. I think that with its maturity, you'll see more institutional adoption of Bitcoin," Xxxxxx said...."




     "..I would like to know what color the sky is on the planet these people live on?   The iceberg has just sliced through the Titanic, the ship is heading to the bottom, people are manning every lifeboat there is. And yet,  there ARE STILL people saying "Don't worry folks....we're just picking up a little ice for the bar tenders!".   OMG!   





Continued Success,
