    Same boat. LTC has been super steady. In times of crisis it's a good hedge against losses. At the time, it was >10% less the going rate of BTC which is what I had anticipated it would drop to before rebounding to the upside. It actually went well below that just below $5,500 if memory serves...

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO CHAT 
    I like to call Litecoin Hedgecoin It has held its value very well in times of uncertainty over the past few months. If BTC starts blowing out, and another vehicle doesn't present itself, LTC is next in line.

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO CHAT 
    Looks like BCH had a bit of a rally about 2 hours ago after hitting bottom. The surge correlated with BTC hitting the limiter at $7,500 and backing down. While I've already profited off of BCH a lot this week, I'm not convinced the drop is complete. Still potential for a deeper dig into the red...

    Wowza, what an exciting past 48 hours. Long story short, I got in and out of BCH a few times to make some serious profit riding the wave. The first trade I made of the day I took a 5% loss (my stop). My head wasn't in the right place, so I took a drive, walked around a local high end shopping...

    No, still biding my time. Still looks like it has a way to go, but as I'm sure you all know it just takes a little media frenzy to throw ALL TA predictions completely out of the window. Be balanced and attentive is all I can say. Still watching BCH currently for short-term trades today...

    A friend of mine is Depressed, should I help him?

    This is an interesting topic to me, and the consensus of just being there for him is definitely the ideal route. I have a friend, my best friend mind you, who has expressed these same thoughts of suicide with me time and time again. Lately I have been digging deeper and deeper into my own mind...

    Just to kind of go along with this, I personally use Blockfolio for Android. I've been patiently waiting for them to release a desktop version or web app to keep track of everything but nothing yet. On the go, it works great though for documenting trades and keeping track of your positions.

    Wild day today, and I'm not usually one to make big moves, but it only made sense. Had a selloff of my BTC this morning after seeing some news regarding BCH (Bitcoin Classic to Cease Code Support In Wake of 2x Suspension - CoinDesk ). FUD laden hot garbage, but, a huge opportunity sparked in my...

    Pretty much same here. Got a sizeable position in LTC around $46 a while back, and loaded up on more BTC around $5500. Almost too much news erupting currently, really hard to get a direction on anything at this time. Holding through the storm.

    As for SegWit2x futures: SegWit2x [Futures] (B2X) price, charts, market cap, and other metrics | CoinMarketCap Kind of running along with the thought here given the fact whoever holds BTC will get an equal amount of SegWit2x, I figured I'd share a thought I've been playing around with (though...

    Figured I'd comment as I've been dabbling in crypto since May. Early on I had made some newbie mistakes which I took on the chin and lost a couple grand. Since then I've taken a mostly buy and hold strategy with it buying on the dips and it has been working out fairly well with a 45% return on...

    Would you hire Upwork salesmen?

    MARKETING 
    Agree with @JAJT . Pure script where tonality will develop over time, sure outsource away. But if it requires any type of nurturing or follow up process, probably not gonna work. I've tried it with several outsourced workers even on a commission base. Finding good reps is a hassle in general...

    Agreed. To jump to the conclusion that Adwords will die, that's a leap if I've ever heard of one. Until the day comes that there is a better service for practically ANY business to quickly scale regardless of where they stand on the totem pole, Google will remain supreme. Not saying it won't...

    Affordable Health Insurance for Entrepreneurs?

    Affordable, that's a joke. It doesn't matter if you're part cyborg with a life expectancy of 150 years, you're still gonna pay an arm and a cybernetic leg.

    Innovating Medical Equipment for Fastlane

    You pretty much nailed it for the most part. Huge potential liability, FDA scrutiny, FTC scrutiny, a plethora of hoops to jump through to accept insurance in its various forms (private, Medicare, Medicade) for DME and the like. But there's also an ominous giant that you overlooked that has a...

    Got a Hot Seller on Amazon? Prepare for E-Tailer to Make One Too

    Given the number of anti-trust accusations that have been hurled at Google for SERPs manipulation, I feel that it is only a matter of time before the same occurs with Amazon. They are essentially stacking their own deck. I mean really, such a behemoth could effectively drive down the price so...

    Lead Gen for Local Service Businesses

    HOT! MARKETING 
    My opinion: Nothing major at all. Should have little bearing on anyone running PPC for local lead gen. If, on the other hand, you are running PPC campaigns for local businesses on the management side of things, you just need their location verified to keep on keepin' on.
