Ethereum is way more, over the year.... 3500% increase since 2016!! Bitcoin "only" around the 1000% mark
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When I was writing my wallet cracking stuff.. I nearly bought etherium pre launch as the smart contract stuff interesting. But there were so. Many coins lite, dodge etc as well as one from the UK which was all about distributed sharded hard disk space.

Just lumped a few hundred combined on all 3 currencies on coinbase.
How can you keep a track of how much you paid for it initially and how much it is worth now? Where would you go to on coinbase to see that kind of info?

That could have been written by me.
The way I did it was to transfer to my Cryptopay wallet, transfer to one of their debit cards then take the money through my business card reader, fees incurred evey step of the way.
Ulster Bank offer bank accounts in Euros to UK residents, I'm in the process of opening one as I write.
This is some click baity article I found earlier.

It's very much rampy, but underlines the reasoning for many folk buying in to the bubble. Though it talks about folk buying bread with bitcoin which is just nonsense given it's limitations as a currency.
Loads of FUD on both sides. If you beleive in the underlying tech, go for it... If you want quick cash, go for it for 6 months and get out.
My portfolio is now 50% iota, which i really believe in. Non profit, perfect for micro transactions, lots of real world usage, partnerships with the likes of microsoft and it is zero emission, as it was pre-mined (which normally scares me off, but as it is non profit, it's fine).
I find the internet bubble comparison lazy.
1) Bitcoin already went through a real bubble burst that follows the classic chart. $8 to $900 in a year... Far great growth than we see now.
2) Like the internet bubble crash, that first bitcoin crash taught everyone lessons.. Security improved, naivety dropped and scalability became a key topic. It also laid the groundwork for better, real world coins to come enter (ether, iota)
3) Bitcoin has repositioned itself as digital gold, which does has real world value. No more fear of a bank crashing and taking out your life saving... No fears an identity thief stealing your life saving... No fear of one government devaluing your money, or said government deciding to freeze your assets. (this may not seem something to think about for non criminals, but who knows what might become illegal, one day, and be retrospectively punishable... we live in strange times)
4) Alot of the internet bubble crash was down to human error. Startups getting greedy and wasting investment money... Or pitching ideas that they knew couldn't ever get off the ground. Bitcoin and blockchain and concepts that don;t need much human input and are not as susceptible to human greed and error. Bitcoin might "burst" but blockchain and tangle will go on... It's like saying email will "burst" in 1995.

I've a 100% faith in block-chain technology, but close to zero percent faith in crypto currency. Think Admin2 and I will likely proof of concept some blockhain stuff over crimbo.
Even if you have no interested in investing, just check out IOTA. It might sway you on how crypto can change the world.
If you get into blockchain stuff and need a UI/UX expert, you have my email!
Problem is, Bitcoin has become an investment like the stock market.
It'll crash at some point unless they can make it a useful currency in the real world.

does gold crash? it has ups and downs, but doesn;t crash.
bitcoin is much like gold... research about lightning network though and you will see it can become a real currency,
IOTA is my bet for a real, computer to computer digital currency though.
Btw.... i have 3 clients now that pay me in bitcoin cash or Litecoin instead of PayPal.... fees are tiny.
The change is happening.... even if these big prices do crash
ji sung, I might pay you to meet me in real life and hook me up on all this bitcoin business sounds like you know what you're doing. don't work or live in the city do ya?
The tech has legs, no doubt about it. Soon as a government begins to put rules and regs, taxes etc around crypto it's done.
I see it in a few decades, for now it's just a make money quick scheme.

I was 1:100 1:200 Euro during the Greek crisis. Was mental.
But gold, at 1:1, is pretty steady.... Forex trading is wild, no doubt. Pure gambling really... I enjoy it!

It was on Etoro, just checked and it was x50 Leverage TBF.
I only just started trading on there at the end of July and didn't realise the dangers of trading with such a high leverage!
THB I didn't even realise what 'Leverage' was!

With snapshots, pruning and controllers is IOTA not actually still centralised. Has Microsoft actually announced the partnership anywhere on Microsoft owned domains?
Was tempted to stick some cash into iota but the cofounders responses in the comments sections are a slight concern https://medium.com/@ercwl/hello-david-b77bbc62c457
