Some Reservations
Observe here the dominant currencies of the world, and speculate if, and when, the US dollar will lose the one thing which allows it to get away with murder every day: its reserve currency status.
The Virtue of Patience
Sheesh. This is embarrassing.
Late last Friday, I did a premium post called I’m Going Back! in which I declared that there were three cryptos I really liked, and I was going to put an even amount in each of them (I put in $5,000 each, for $15k total). The coins were $ALGO, $ATOM, and $ENJ. It hasn’t even been a full 7 days yet, and all THREE are profitable, one of them nicely so (click image for better readability). Here is CryptoStream:
Well, prancing, hair-dressing, effete, antique-shopper that I am, I got spooked by some weakness and got out. So, yeah, I managed to take a small loss instead of enjoying the profits shown above.
