CryptoTwitter Newsletter #1 - December 8, 2017
Well people, this is the first letter of an experiment of mine - a daily wrap up of CryptoTwitter. Just like many of you, I spend an unhealthy amount of time looking through Twitter to keep in the loop on all crypto dealings and likewise upping my understanding of this new economic/technological universe. Anyone that isn't fully immersed into this space doesn't realize the level of activity this community is getting on this platform, and I wanted to create a forum to point things out, shoot the sh*t about discussions we saw on Twitter, and to further our narrative and aid each other in building a decentralized planet.
Over time, I'll get into my personal experiences in the cryptosphere, and I hope that you guys will share yours. Hopefully we can all agree that our diversity of opinions within this space are healthy, and not supposed to be a source of hatred. I respect all shilling of all coins, including even Tether ;). Now, without further adieu, let's get into it:
Bloke of the Day - Parabolic Trav
It almost goes without saying if you've kept up with Twitter this week, Parabolic Trav is an absolute bloke. He seemingly came out of nowhere and has built himself quite the audience on Twitter in a very short period of time. He previously worked in wealth management, and my understanding is that he bought his first Bitcoin at $5,000. He is insanely bullish on Bitcoin, and has provided some awesome content this week. This guy is a great follow, and excited to from him in the future, as he is now fully dedicating himself to the crypto world. Here are a couple of tweets from our inaugural Bloke of the Day:
Mainstream Turds of the Day: Alan Greenspan & Jim Cramer
These 2 dingleberries aren't worth more than a couple sentences of our time, but it never ceases to impress me how many "professionals" go in front of massive audiences and speak about things without doing at least a couple minutes of research. That has to be the only reason why they say these moronic things - fortunately for them, most people don't have a clue how idiotic they sound when poo flushes down their brain and out of their mouths. Good luck to these 2, they sure as sh*t could use it.
Tweets to Ponder:
Our girl Amanda B. is back in action bringing up some bullish alt related comments, and Tushar brought up something that is veryyyyy interesting related to NEM. For starters, we are way overdue getting more alts linked to the fiat system. The extra liquidity will provide some safety to the alts when Bitcoin goes through its monster pumps, and all the newbies want more alt action so why not give it to them? I'm all about what she's getting at, and it makes you start considering loading up on coins that might make the next jump towards the mainstream next year. My guesses are ETC and DASH might get their shots at the title next year.
Now to Tushar's comment - fcking NEM possibly making some moves! To be honest, I don't know the first thing about NEM, and am possibly overdue an education on it considering this news. I was in China a couple months ago, and one thing I can confirm is that WeChat is absolutely massive there - it's a payment and social medial platform all baked into one. If confirmed, NEM = MOON (Note: it's up a fckload today).
Money Tweet of the Day - Paulbtc and Peter Brandt
People keep asking and I always give the same answer: we are NOT in a bubble. We might be going up in price faster than a n00b can say "blockchain", but that doesn't make this a bubble. Without question, we are going to have selloffs intermittently, but Novogratz hit the nail on the head when he said "the herd is coming". And as some of you know, during bull runs you need to BUY THE F*CKING DIPS! Even your crummy low cap alt if you even like (can't decide if I'm kidding). With that said - Peter Brandt brought up a good point about HODLing. I personally never take profits, but that's because I don't need to. If you are depending on profit taking for your financial wellbeing, make sure to take your friggin profits people! Sell when we go parabolic, and load back up on the dip. You know the drill, and don't get hustled by Peter - even though he seems like a good dude.
BOOM Tweet of the Day - Leon Fu
Big daddy Leon Fu, take a bow! This about sums up everything that we all probably can agree on. I cancelled my 401k two years ago and went all in on crypto because of this type of thinking! Keep up the zingers Leon, and let's all work on safely popping that bubble.
And there it is for day numero uno people, I hope you dig it! Give me any feedback on what I could do to make the letter better, and we can keep building this bad boy up from here. All duties my dudes.
