Crypto Surfing 9/18/2018 (crypto limbo, doge hedge, still kick'n, exchange mysteries)

-- #crypto limbo--

been away for a bit... letting the crypto market do its things it has relentlessly had ups and downs centered around $6300 for the last few weeks... i wonder if everyone involved in the crypto sphere is as jaded as me at this point... like we are all just waiting for something to happen. there has been alot of news on great technology coming out... and not as great news about regulation, but great news about use cases and adoption and future regulation... but i suppose speculation is not enough to push this market up right now, just down.

--weird #doge --

doge coin is weird... it has actually dont pretty good despite how horrible the market has been and is higher in dollar evaluation during this bear market... i am very surprised... i wonder if people are hedging with it... maybe i should buy doge... its been a top 100 coin for many years, it is withstanding the market... am i missing something? i remember selling doge because i thought it was garbage.

--still kickin--
i am currently looking for a buyer for my miner, it is too much maintenance and worry for me... id rather just trade. put out a video for newbies not long ago, for some reason it didnt do as good as my other one, but it probably has alot to do with the market and also the video was pretty long. i think i am going to recap the new ark wallet update, i had fun with that last one.

--exchange mysteries--

lately i have begin to suspect wash trading for most of the crypto activity out there...like nothing is real... i am sure that there is a fair bit of it but maybe it isnt as bad as i think. and alot of youtubers like data dash are saying that there are tons and tons of over the counter peer to peer exchanges going on, like lots of big money not siphoning through the exchanges.... well that is a problem for me because the exchanges are a big factor of the perceived market value...
idk really what to think.
