XRP is flying. If it was my bag I’d sell 30% and keep the majority 70% for the next few months (Alt season)

@SRBS - You’re talking about Solana, the well known Alt coin currently 4th in marketcap. SOLUSD isn’t the name of a company or ticket, that’s just the buying pairing (SOL with USD).

SOL is down 5% in the last 7 days.

All alts should benefit soon. Alt season hasn’t started properly yet but a few weeks/early 2025 should kick in.

Indeed. When I called Barclays 4-5 months ago asking for MARA to be added to their Stocks&Shares ISA they said Bitcoin stocks are too volatile and too risky an asset to offer their customers (which is why switched). So a definite change in position from a major bank/stockbroker.

Barclays have notoriously been anti-crypto for years and haven’t listed any US miners (the main reason why I closed my 14 years long Barclays Stockbrokers ISA SS account over to Interactive Investor) so yes I’d say this recent change in sentiment is quite a big/encouraging sign given the size of the establishment and Barclays previous “crypto is dangerous/too risky” stance.

Bullish news, Barclays covering MARA. When it gets added to Smartinvestor that's going to open up a large potential investor base.

"“We see the company as increasingly well positioned relative to mining competitors and like the well-timed diversification away from a 100% hosted strategy, toward owning more mining facilities outright,” Barclays (LON:BARC) said in a note."

"“If you are looking to invest in a Bitcoin miner, we believe MARA is a very compelling choice”

Happy to still be holding my bag of Polkadot (DOT) and bought some last year to top up around $4. DOT is on a very nice run now, up 50% in last 24 hours and now flirting with the $10 mark. Creeping up the coin market cap list back in the Top 15.

@MonkeyTom - check out Kraken exchange. It’s UK/FCA approved and they have 35+ meme coins listed. You’ll just need to create an account and check which pairs to buy said mencoin with.

Likely convert GBP to USDT and do the purchase that way. I’m sure most memes will have the USDT or other stable coin pairing

Use coinmarketcap, search for the meme coin of choice, and it will have the exchanges it’s listed on in the markets section

@SteveE60 I meant.

@Ben - personally I would hold the XRP. Alt-season hasn’t begun yet. Could take a few weeks or a month or two but fully expecting most alts to reflect Bitcoins gains soon and XRP will benefit from that.

@chaebol etc. KAS is being listed on Kraken very soon. Should see a nice uplift being on this major exchange.

awesome news for us holders and MARA should benefit indirectly too.

If we get a bull run from here on in happy days.

My guestimate a few months ago was end of November for true bull run to kick in but anything before that is fine by me 👌🏼

Roll on October onwards, true bull run time.

Yeah Kraken is good. 3-5% SOL staking ain't bad at all. anything above $400 and i'd be buzzing with that.

i'll throw one other into the mixer worth your time researching, Bittensor (TAO). AI crypto. Reached a peak of $715 in March. If that hits $200 i'll be buying a few more of them.

Which exchange did you use Chaebol? Most have a staking feature, ive got my SOL (6%) & MATIC (3.5%) purchased and staked via KuCoin

Kraken generally have good APRs too, got my DOT staked with them past 5 years @ 11%

Yeah, this temporary dip is a nice top up opportunity on various cryptos and miners 👌🏼

@Sinterklasse - SOL is a solid hold and recommend you get it staked for free interest. BONK is a gamble but it could do well, I avoid memecoins like the plague though. Not familiar with the others.

For KAS (Kaspa) i've been buying it since around April last year via KuCoin. They've recently taken GBP deposits down but I buy in EUR for a very small conversion charge. Can be purchased easily via spot trading using USDT.

Also still have MATIC (Polygon), ADA (Cardano) and DOT (Polkadot) staked for the last 5 years, which aren't going anywhere and should all safely ride the wave of BTC rises given they're long-standing cryptos.

Choppy summer leading up to a Winter bull run. some bargains to be had to re-accumulate, I’m buying heavily again.

I think Spring & Summer will be choppy, but within a certain limited range - don’t see Bitcoin blasting up or dropping considerably during that time, plateauing until the latter half of the year where I’m planning for a true bull run in the Winter months, as posted quite a few times before. Around November onwards is what I’m basing my strategy on - steady accumulation of mining stocks from now ready for lift off.

Most definitely. Will see where Bitcoin settles over the next day or two but IMO a good time to buy.

Still expect ‘true’ gains in Q4 this year so loading up between now and then on the dips.
