Litecoins Amazing Move... While Bitcoin Grinds Towards 300

Today I own more Litecoin than ever before as it continues to surge in value... about 10 of them... and proudly only 2 bought over the 5.00 mark.... is this the long awaited moves by Bitcoin and the best alternatives? Who if anyone is behind the 100 million dollar `pump' in Litecoin....IF that is what it is. This being the beginnings of a possible time of financial crisis in China.... and Bitcoins name  even being used as a throwaway in a CNBC storyline about a possible direction for Greece to go? The politics of money.

Talking Exchanges

My current BTC value at Cryptsy has hit a current high at .81 BTC and Bittrex has recovered a bit after I finally unloaded my Navajo at a brief upspike this week... up to .30BTC and Poloniex is standing at about .20BTC after being at .24BTC a week or two before. Nonetheless... the Crypto under control is about 1.31 BTC as of now. That does not include a little over a BTC at Coinbase.

----------

As most traders know... all exchanges are different and offer different attributes... but WHAT happened to the `history' data at Bittrex....??????    It seems gone..... and makes me less likely to continue trading there...

Buying `Scarcity' In A Crypto Currency World

There's a bit of humor in saying that `virtual' items/currencies - can be in abundance or `scarcity' - but as one knows.... scarcity as an attribute is one of the drivers of `value' in our fiat world. And, one of the outcomes of my recent analysis that I did at Bitcoin - The Barf The Stew The Winners - where I conducted an analysis of Cryptos by `numbers available' - segmenting 543 coins into 10 segments of like numbered coins, is that I've changed my investments to a degree... to own that scarcity.

As you might assume and I do hope that you read the link - coins of each category had some real winners in value as perceived by the public. But -- for me -- the outcome for at least now was to prompt me into KNOWING the coins better that `are fewer in number'... and that has led to a near C-Change in how I am currently `investing' in the cryptocurrencies... namely, making sure the `scarce' coins are a bigger % of investments.

NEW COINS I'VE BOUGHT

*purchase price

CRYPTSY 

8BIT - 0.00016165

BITBAR - 0.00393939

RONPAULCOIN - 0.00008794

Now, I bought others too... but I wanted to show that many low count (scarce) coins can be had for a variety of prices. Rand Paul has already accepted Bitcoin in his campaign... can you imaging if he endorsed crypto or was forced to talk about the Ron Paul Coin? It would take OFF IMO.

==========

These are some new buys I've made on Bittrex that reflect an increase in scarce coins into my portfolio.

BITTREX

ETHER - 0.0029932

GLOWSHARES - 0.00002472

---------------------------

Finally... some of the moves I've made recently at Poloniex based on buying scarcity.

CRYPTOGRAPHIC ANOMALY - 0.00003500 -

                                            0.00006300

BITCOINPLUS - 0.00052193

=====================================

Eventually, the coin market could ultimately be like the fiat coin market - less production means scarcity which means value -- don't be left out of having at least a piece of that strategy.

Whale Splashes MOVE Market - The 30 Satoshi Selldown On Cryptsy

Recently at Cryptsy... several coins were hit with MASSIVE sells orders by one holder of the coins... normally called a whale in Cryptocurrencies... those that can move markets hugely. I most recently noticed it today on the AuroraCoin -- it happened to it April 16th Link Here from 15,000 satoshi to 30 in one flash crash. I first noticed this `sell to 30 Satoshi' (from 300's) phenomena with the PotCoin .... April 21st and April 16th... each time stopping the selling at 30. I also noticed it on another coin but didn't bookmark it. 

DID SOME BIG MONEY DECIDE TO GET OUT OF CRYPTO?

In each of the Whale sells... buying in was an immediate good move. It was also an incredible payoff for those SHARKS that set low buy orders and got them filled... especially on the AuroraCoin. The opposite, of course, is also true when setting your own sell prices... occasionally a reason to own a coin is that it is frequented by the occasional whale pumpers (not all coins have them) who, IF YOU WAIT long enough, and are lucky enough.. may return for that 10x current value BUYIN - or at least a 3-4x return. Whale pods... seen and growing in crypto?
=============================================
=============================================
I'm sad to  report that I've withdrawn about 80% of the small trading stake I had at Bluetrade... and it's volume has been falling off the charts with NO coins having over 1BTC in trade yesterday(4/30)... too bad. I guess there might be some good prices as folks pull out and sell for dust ... but.. put those bids in carefully as you know how exchanges and money seems to vanish when trading vanishes. I split my pulled BTC from Bluetrade between Cryptsy and Poloniex.
==============================================

The First Mazacoin Political Donation (March 19th)

Presidential candidate Paul is taking Bitcoin as a few other politicians in the past.... (and is getting flack for the LACK of transparency of it) - yet, Payu Harris... as you can see... when I made the FIRST non Bitcoin donation, perhaps, EVER ON EARTH to a campaign - wanted to position it as BEING the open way to do business... Interesting variety of perceptions indeed.

one thing that would be a help... would be a small mzc donation...Im wanting to showcase the ability for the public to track and monitor blockchain transactions

I'd be happy to

I'll send in some

today

ok cool

just sent 22,000 MZC from Bittrex

am I the first official possible donation?

Yup...thank you you are my FIRST official Campaign supporter

100 MILLION HTML5 COIN GIVEN AS CAMPAIGN DONATION IN ATLANTA

At the Bluetrade Exchange chatbox one often finds exciting news about certain virtual coining efforts... one of those coins being the HTML5 coin. Below you can see they've cornered a Democrat running for President of the United States - for a photo op and PR session about Cryptocurrencies. The gentleman is Robby Wells... seen with Marlena (of HTML5) holding the 100 Million HTML5 `check' representing the coin political donation.

Original Photo Link On Bitcointalk

===============================================

FYI, 100 million HTML5 would be valued at about 75 LTC on most exchanges and each LTC is worth about 1.70 as of today - a hefty donation and great publicity for Crypto.

Those who are following the game closely, very closely, know that I may have made the very first Crypto donation, outside of Bitcoin, (which was involved at some level in the past) to a political campaign a few weeks ago in MazaCoin to Payu Harris - when he was organizing a run for the Mayor of Rapid City SD.

Also, in similar Presidential news, Rand Paul has in a backhanded way endorsed Crypto by suggesting that COMPANIES might be allowed to issue their own `currencies'.

So, Cryptsy is cranking up `contract mining' - and it's certainly possible many new sources of coins may be entering that market exchange IMO.... might get a bit harder to trade some coins if the price of a currency gets perceived as the cost of electricity.... or a contract that makes money.

====================================

============================================

Finally for today - what do you say we take a look at a few more of the `names' in Cryptocurrencies that might have appeal:

100 Days Later - The UpdateSo

As anyone who follows the cryptocurrency space of things... it has been very active for the development of bitcoin... not all for the good... over the last 100 days... including a `crash' with a spike down to 92 dollars for a few moments in January on Cryptsy... as if to show the potential shallowness of the full marketplace... and millions of dollars and bitcoins have been lost in scams via coins and exchanges... little to be returned and massive drops of coins onto the market from these ripoffs.

But, during the volatile 100 days... I became a trader, moved into new exchanges and out again (like C-Cex) and in general DOUBLED TO TRIPLED my trading stake thanks to investments in the NavajoCoin mainly. I've also had nice trades at times with Mazacoin, Gamerholic, and others too..... such as HTML5, Leaf, and Einsteinium. 

I'm still using Bluetrade very occasionally and have about 0.128 btc there (from original .10).... but.. I made about 900 trades before slowing down... occasionally you can still get good info in the chatbox there too from developers.......My favorite exchange is Cryptsy where my original stake of .15 btc has grown to .51 btc (spiked much higher recently) -- at one time I traded 2 btc in 2 weeks... but have scaled back to about .6 btc in 2 weeks. Cryptsy is where I have my `dry' trading btc as I sold most of my Navajo position there. Mainly because Bittrex is where the thickest Navajo coin market is (much like Cryptsy has a deeper market like Mazacoin)... and it's easier to find coins to trade into on Cryptsy.

Anyway at Bittrex my initial start of 0.15 bitcoin is 0.41 bitcoin... I've sold NONE of my NavajoCoin stake there. Bittrex seems to have some good new coins too to trade....like Ribbit Rewards. Finally on Polonex... I've struggled mightly after buying into the peaks of Ripple and Stellar a few months ago but have recovered even there from a 0.10 start to 0.14btc.... Now playing the CounterParty Exchange coin.

So, as spring starts today... expect a more updated blog here... and thanks for hanging in there...
