### *Today I am continuing this series, hoping people will read, engage, respond, help each other etc - I will do this a couple times a week so people see it is a regular series and place they can always come and refer to the resource.*    

###### <center>Consider Resteeming this post to get  others  involved.  </center>

- #### *I continue to watch LiteCoin all week again, and esp. now because the SegWit issues are underway,  since Feb 3rd. for possible implementation and that is likely going to affect  value ---  The slow and steady rise of the miners signalling support for SegWit rises daily with blocks signaling in the past 24 hours!  (as time of writing this)*
 
- #### DASH hit a new recent high this week ( Feb. 24th at just over $24.50 and at TOW this article is still trading at a recent high of ~ $22.50 or so --- most of the last few months it hovered around the ~$11 -$17 mark as we know.  It started to climb big time a few days ago and has turned a lot of heads.  

- #### The Winklevoss Twins boosted their investment a few weeks ago in their Bitcoin ETF everyone is watching (which is set to come up for final review and pass/fail in the US by the SEC on March 11th)  -Everyone is talking about this and watching it......Why would they do that if things did not look good on that front?  Right??    Bitcoin has broken all time highs this week and most feel it is because of this.  

###  <center>Your thoughts on these and other things???</center>

Here's the latest of my LiteCoin blog posts in that series connecting people to those facts/news going on with LTC.  LiteCoin continues to just hold it's value / be a good store of value, be "boring", stable, reliable, and fast on the blockchain, the usual.

I am really enjoying doing this series long term, seeing the feedback and questions.   I love it (: 

### <center>*COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT!!!* </center>

There are a lot of good people on here who know what they are doing and we can build a solid resource here a couple times a week with all the community and you can check in here on my page a couple times a week and see the latest.

People can ask questions, share their wisdom and failures, and my hope is simple really :

Thanks for this update!  How goes your trading?
I am locked up in Forex and Gold with traditional fiat binary options.  I trade the major pairs. EU, GU, UJ, AU...  UCad, UChf, EG, EJ... and sometimes Gold. The US dollar is king, but gold is still the standard. 
In Crypto, BTC is gold standard. LTC seems to be silver. But altcoins are still looking for their USD.  Ether seemed like it was positioning itself into that scenario.  Dash makes a decent case.  I kind of thought Bitshares (BTS) was starting to fill that role, but I have so many problems with the Openledger Bitshares site that I don't know what they're up to.  Who knows, maybe the Segwit or Hard Fork will lead to a BTC "dollar".  Right now everything is pegged to BTC.  It's like trading gold all the time. (XAU/USD XAU/GBP...) S 
I would like to do more trading with Crypto.  I still have lots of questions, for example, could I get started being active on poloniex for about $50?  How do I get my cash onto Poloniex?  Should I throw $50 at Burst, Ethereum, Dash, Steem, and then transfer it to Poloniex?  I just haven't had the time to figure out these little details.
Other than that I am mining Burst. About to invest in some Burst Assets. 
I watch the Crypto Markets and have some opinions.
The crypto market seems to move a little bit slower, almost easier to follow the bips and bops, highs and lows.  
IF i had $50 in credit on Poloniex, I'd be moving everything to BTC before the ETF.  There will be scalping opportunities with volatility around the announcement.  But I would wait til after things settle down before resuming trading.  I would want some money invested in Dash, but not as an investment, but because I think that by 2018, Dash claims it will be the Paypal of Cryptos.  I would trade some Ether and Ripple off of BTC because the banks are involved in those two projects.  I only hope Burst hops on a rocket to the moon sometime this summer and then I would sell it for BTC.  Steem looks to be something I'd like to hold on long long term as the steem blockchain continues to evolve.  
This might be TMI.   Thanks for the post.  If my ramblings inspired any suggestions on how to get started on poloniex, i appreciate it.

This is one of the greatest replies to anything I have seen on here, so first, I am going to say THANK YOU very much for this fulsome reply, hitting a ton of good points.   Honestly.   

Because it is your main concern, I would like to say you are very sharp, I have noticed so many of your comments - not only today's or here, on my page.

Poloniex is very easy to start on.   Very easy.   It has been a long time for me since starting there, but I recall as a noob, which I still call myself... simply setting it up in a couple mins with the typical e/m addy and a p/w and boom, you are on there logged in.

You then just populate your wallet with coins and it is hard to find when you start, but you just click on this drop down here I am going to scrnshot for you, and literally the dozens of currency wallets to your new Polo acct opens up and you can deposit or w/draw to them --- enlarge this if needed but see the  drop down  here -- look at the darkest green part where my cursor is hovering -- that's where you find your "wallet" section there -- 

### Go to Balances > (drop down) Deposits + withdrawals.
