Do You Like Bear Bottoms?

I think we all like the bottom of Bear cycles in the stock market. I think that's what we are going to see with Crypto this week. Those who are still holding Crypto during this retracement, take heart, we are almost there - or at least I think we are. If you like bear bottoms, this one is for you. It should be the end of the bear market and the start of another bull run.

I trade Ethereum (ETH) almost exclusively. Right now I think we are finishing wave 2 of a mini 5 wave down trend. We should finish waves 3-5 probably before next weekend, maybe even by Turnaround-Tuesday. See the attached ETH chart and you'll wee what I mean. Once we hit wave 5, I expect a fairly quick run up from about 1160 to the lower 3000's. Put in $1000 and pull out $3000 a couple of months later. Not bad.

As long as ETH stays above $1000 we should be good. If it breaks $1000, that's bad news all around. That means we are going to be setting a new low for ETH and it means the Bear market isn't done. As long as we turn around before hitting $1000, we are in a very good place. In fact if we head up before hitting $1000 and we break and hold above $1400, then the deal is sealed and our next stop is $3000+.

In fact almost everything should turn around, not just Ethereum. We'll finally see BTC turn around as well as a lot of other Tokens that have taken a hit the past few months. I expect almost everything to take off, and there are a lot of attractive very low priced tokens. Consider, instead of riding ETH from 1200 to $3000, what about riding RVN from $0.03 to $0.30. That's a 10X return on your money instead of a 3X return. Or try AAVE, or MATIC, or POLY, or HNT.

I'm not saying to do it, I'm just saying there are a LOT of opportunities there right now. It's important to get them at the bottom because otherwise you could be buying them right before a significant dip and as you can see, crypto has a tendency to pull back sharply when it pulls back.

Of course nothing is for sure. This is not investment advice and don't use money you can't afford to lose. Remember, past performance is not indicative of future results.

Antiminer S7 Issues and Diagnostics steps

Note, the instructions below are how I diagnosed the problem I describe. I'm providing it here in case these steps help you narrow down your issue somewhere along the way. I have an Antminer S7 (batch 8) unit that has been giving me problems. It worked fine for a week or so then started slowing down. I could hear the fan slowing down and speeding up and if I checked the web GUI of the unit I could see that “chains” 1 and 3 often had very cool temperatures, as if they weren’t even running. It would then try to get those engaged again and it would speed up and then the cycle would repeat. Eventually, over time, I’d get a high piercing alarm sound and at that point if I checked the GUI I’d see Xs in the ASIC display instead of Os (image below). Above is how it was typically running. After a while an alarm would sound and it would look like below: PSU: The first things I tried were to swap power supplies with a working unit. It’s...

IOTA - A Beginner's Guide to Why IOTA Matters

IOTA is not your typical cryptocurrency. IOTA, which typically stands for the Internet Of Things is a completely new approach to managing a blockchain. Blockchain technology is what made coins like Bitcoin (BTC) possible. BTC is just a coin that uses the blockchain technology. As I've said many times before, the "real" invention here was coming up with a blockchain that works. To show that it works they created BTC. The success of BTC is a very good indication of how well blockchains can work. Blockchains are what provide the audit trail of each transaction. It is what allows you to purchase a digital "product" and be assured that the product is authentic and that you are the only one who owns that particular product. It is what allows us to use BTC as money because it protects against counterfeiting. Blockchains do have their limitations, most notably transaction speed, and IOTA solves these limitations. This is hugely impor...

A quick Buck, or Bust?

I don't normally "trade" in Crypto currencies. My strategy has been, and continues to be, find a good coin to buy and hold. Studies have shown over and over that is the best way to make money when purchasing equities. But, I've decided to take some part of my portfolio, somewhere around 10%, and to take a risk with that part. I'm looking for coins that have had a lot of volatility lately and which appear to be ready to break out. With that in mind I've focused on 3 coins this past weekend. On Friday I bought a million coins each of Sia (SC) and Burst (BURST). I have no attachment to Si, I'm only buying it because it is one of those coins I always seem to see with double digit gains on any one day. Burst on the other hand is a coin I know fairly well and in fact I mine Burst on a daily basis. So I bought a million Sia at 0.00000425 and a million Burst at 0.00000560. I'm hoping they both break out around the 0.0000072...
