I love my One Plus 5. Best phone I've ever had hands down. Dropped it yesterday and smashed the screen though. Gutted.

I have just done the same last night. you going to get it repaired through oneplus with all that hassle or go with a phone repair shop?

INS Coin went on Exchanges today went up to $13. coin offering was around $1. its sitting just under $10 now.

Bought it with Etheruem which has tripled in value since so comparatively its up 3.3x.

Im Hodling though, should start driving up over the next few weeks

Im not a New Fan, well iv been supporting the Eagles for over a decade so not a very new fan, anyway.

The way i see it, i am going to enjoy NFL more if i support the London based team, as i will go to their games etc. Not supporting them because i chose to support a different team i have little affiliation with years ago or because they will have "London" in their team name and thus enjoying NFL less makes no sense to me.

Why would you not support a team with London in the name?

I will switch over, why wouldnt i, if i could? i support the eagles but so what, im not from philly, i dont think i owe them anything. It will make my life more enjoyable to support the London Jags as i will go to their games.

This is one of my concerns about this whole space. You back an ICO and a company like Telegram come in with overlapping aims. (I'm a noob and have a very rudimentary understanding of all this.)

Think this is a concern for a lot of investment, that someone else will do something similar but better, or even just sell better

So alot of hype going around TON atm. Im looking forward to it. looks like i might be going big in it, if things work out

Seems Korea has put a spanner in the works today if anyone is wondering why their porfolio isn't looking so hot.

Will be back to normal in about 3-5 days I think .

#Fakenews apparently so good time to buy

Yeah, I think there's no denying that it's a bubble. But isn't the thing about a bubble is that most people don't know they are in one?  Many people have been calling it useless for a long time yet it still keeps growing. There's fundamental use to blockchain technology, I don't really expect a lot of these old financial experts to really understand it.

No disrespect to Warren but a quote like "I think crypto currencies will end up bad" or whatever it is, what does that mean? Maybe the market will grow 10x and when the bubble pops it will restore to what it is now? 

I think it's got a long way to go yet, but I'm no expert. The market cap is still so small. 

In the same article, he's quoted to saying he wouldn't hold a position in something he doesn't have any idea about. 

How can he claim it will end bad if he knows nothing about it (or more importantly blockchain)

Blockchains and therefore crypto currencies will likely be integrated in most parts of our daily life.

My OnePlus is coming to the end of its life, more due to having dropped it too many times for it to handle and having two corners of the screen missing. The question is do i treat myself to the OnePlus 5T which ive had my eye on, or start looking into other chinese brands? Ive read a few reviews of the leagoo s9 but nothing clear on whether it will be available to order outside of china? 

Is OnePlus still the best value for money?

I have a Oneplus 5 but wouldnt have bought it again in hidsight. Its a great phone but my GF got a Xiaomi Mi A1 for £180 and apart from missing NFC it does everything i need my phone for to a decent level.

So it would be 20%. Which means I'd get absolutely shafted. Holland here I come. 

one for @omariqy, but if you made millions in cryptos then moved to Holland and cashed out, that would be fine as long as you then continued to live there for a specific time (5 years or something?)

Can Chartism really apply to crypto given its infancy? Basically the way I see it is people follow supposed experts, they big up a currency they have recently purchase, everyone follows, the price goes up and then they dump and then the price goes down. 

From what i have seen, it can. I am in a chat group with a friend of a friend who was a Dr but supposedly went all in on cryptos and made £50-200m from Cryptos and he does it.

Obviously, i dont know thats true or how exaggerated it is, what i do know is he went in on an ICO in Jan 2015 which went south. He put in 38 BTC for the project (BTC=$200 then) so its plausible. It doesnt seem to be eating him up either considering the value now.

I much prefer Ether to BTC long run but with the shape of both markets currently im tempted to sell some Ether for Bitcoins short term. I wont but its definitely interesting

So I started investing in May, and put about £20k in. I only have to pay 10% of how much profit I've made since? 

20% on most if not all.

If this is your only income, you pay 10% on the first £11,500 and 20% on the rest. I think

Edit: or what ^ he said

I also recently got a Nano S. Was using Coinbase before, specifically the vaults rather than wallets which seem pretty good. you can only make a transaction 48h after your first request, you need 2 types if authorisation and they notify you ALOT. That 48 hours can be a trouble if you want to do something fast, obviously. Also you still have an issue if Coinbase went down or anything.

 

I have the following:

Bitcoin

Bitcoin Cash

Ethereum

Ripple

Power Ledger

ARK

also bought some INS coins in their current ICO

Still the same as above, but opportunity cost of INS (ETH) means that will probably be costly.

Been away last 3 weeks in Ireland and Cape town (got engaged there) but i left my ledger at home. Was a crazy ride.

I put in 2.5y in July and then a further 1y at end of december. portfolio now worth 20y.

Should probably withdraw my initial investment.

Ethereum is now over half my portfolio so going to sell some of that for Melon and Neo.

2 ICOs im looking at are Gems and Fintrux although ICOs look to be alot less valuable these day and then you have the same issue as INS above.

Polymath will be something to keep an eye on.

Hmmm am i mad that im thinking of sitting Gordon and also starting Blake Bortles this week

I dont deserve playoffs if i get there. I dropped Jags D (was WW4 i think when trying to pick them up the follwing week but no dice) then i traded Kamara away for Drake. Drake had the week last week i was hoping for.

Bought my GF the Xiaomi Mi A1 for £180 and she loves it.

Android One, Duel Camera, 4GB ram, 64GB storage and its pink. All for under £200. I am annoyed i paid what i did for my Oneplus 5. next phone will be chinese

POWR is a good buy, did you get in at ICO?

No, i bought it at USD 0.17. 

My girlfriends brother was staying with us 2 weeks ago. He works in the renewable energy space in Australia and also bought some, so it was under his advise.

i bought alot more ether than the rest of them unfortunately, although last few days its been flying and i still think its the Crypto to own/use

I have built a bit of a crypto portfolio since early July.

I currently own Ether, Bitcoin, Bitcoin cash and Powr. I owned Neo but sold it to buy Powr (i would have rather had both but numerous reasons made selling my Neo my only option)

My portfolio is 2.5 x the value i put in, so seems to be all going well.

I get you, Although I was never in for Burkhead. My number 1 claim was Kansas and then second was Perine.

His Burkhead one was processed before my Kansas one which meant by the time the Perine one was done I was further back in the queue than him.

Not an issue, just wondered how it was calculated.

ah, but yeah if he was Waiver spot 1 and you were 2,  he would go to 14 after his pick but then your pick would put you 14 and bump him up to 13, again one in front of you again.

Who knows, if you had gone perine number 1, and Kansas number 2, you may have got them both

I was going to say the same earlier.

Does the transaction order go by the exact time it was placed?

for example, Rhys managed to get both Perine and Burkhead and I think he managed to get the latter because my claim for Kansas City came after his which meant that I moved back behind him in the queue. I'm thinking that his Burkhead one was processed before mine because he placed it earlier than I did my Kansas City one?

Also, does anyone play in leagues with FAB? Could be something to try next year....

Everyone puts in their claims

WW spot 1 goes and either makes no claim staying WW1 or picks up who he wants and then goes to the back of the queue (WW14)

then number 2 goes, same as above unless his first choice was taken by someone before him, then it goes on to his second chocie if he has one and so on.

your claim priority is by the order you put forward a claim, unless you "change priority".

The time of when teams make a claim has no bearing on who gets who. Only the teams spot in the queue and their priority of claims effect it.

In the above scenario, presuming you made claims for Perine and Burkhead what happened is following:

Rhys had priority: 1: Burkhead 2: Perine

You had Priority either: 

a) 1 Burkhead 2: Kansas 3: Perine

or 

b ) 1 Kansas 2:Burkhead 3:Perine

or

c) 1: Kansas, 2: Perine 3: Burkhead

But basically Rhys was always getting burkhead over you. You then priorotized (possibly by accident) Kansas over Perine so took them next, leaving Rhys to then get perine

i was never going to play kamara unless i lost 2 of my running backs (injury or bye) hed be a great assett if our scoring isnt the way it is. If Drake gets 20 touches a game, its like hes starting 100 yards ahead of kamara who gets c.10 touches. So im happy with the gamble

What happened to Wankchester?

Name change and dropping Big Ben for Huntley 20 mins before his game? It was looking fairly close before that?!
