How far will bitcoin and other cryptos fall?

I got in on Electroneum (ETN) just before the ICO launched... My $10 is now worth $120, so I saw a nice rise on that one.

To me, the Bitcoin is like a bizarre and risky stock that I would most likely avoid long-term investment due to its volatility,
That's how I feel about real estate.

I get the same "bubble" mentality, but I always though Real Estate would be a good investment as long as you have good renters and property management.

That's a dangerous thing to think. Real estate is just like any other investment whether stocks, bonds, or altcoins. You can say the same thing about cryptocurrency - it's a completely safe and effective investment if you invest in the right coins. Um... well yeah. But you can't know which are the right properties, renters, or coins until afterwards. If you could be sure it would be a good investment, everyone would do it automatically.
All investments only work because some people win and some lose.

I've lost more on real estate than almost anyone has lost of bitcoin, lol.
goes off to cry in the corner

Real Estate is great if you can buy low, and rent it out until it's paid off. Get someone else to pay for it, then it's mostly profit.

Yeah, unfortunately being able to buy low isn't something you can do unless you have loads of money already and flexible time frames.

How many ICOs have you invested in?

Just that one, ha ha. I had the $10 when I stumbled across it. They had a $10 buy in for 1,000 ETN... So I got in for $0.01 /coin... It's now up to $0.13 / ETN.
Edit: I set up a couple of CPU miners and am earning 10 ETN every day or two (Roughly $1.30). I won't get rich, but it will fund my Steam / GOG habit, lol.

Can you ping me privately about that? I am actually looking to do a very low cost, low yield mining. I would be happy with $10 a month. I just want it for gas fees.

Low cost mining will NEVER give you more than it costs to mine. Stuff just isn't that efficient yet.
Example, you can buy like a $60 USB mining stick... but between the cost of the stick, the cost of hte power consumption of the stick/Pi/whatever, it's never going to work out positively... if it does, you're looking at cents, not dollars.
You need to buy those big mining racks for many thousands of dollars. It's basically a bunch of videocards and power supplies.

If you live in areas that don't need cooling, and have lower power needs, you might be good.

You'll pretty much NEVER make up what you've spent, unless you did this 15 years ago... at least not anymore.
-
That's just for hte USB device itself.... that doesn't include the power consumption of the device used to power the USB stick such as a laptop or PI or whatever.

That's what I'm finding out.

At least for Bitcoin. Mining different things has different results. Each algorithm is unique.

I just do all of my mining with the equipment at work...
