Anyone here in REQ? Looks interesting
Can't tell much about REQ and FOR. VOXEL looked good when I looked at it, but looked expensive by then, might be worth revisiting. OCEAN is a monster, and a must have IMO. Specially after their anounced merger with FET and AGIX, there's now a clear market leader on AI, the same way that there's one in oracles with LINK. I also have been growing my interest on the Bitcoin L2 space with STX (Stacks) as an OG token worth revisiting and some cool emerging ones like BEVM and LBIT.
What do you think about REQ, UTK, FOR, OCEAN or VOXEL?

Why is REQ randomly up? I forgot I even own it.
What happened to REQ? my bag that i trapped in a random wallet just got up 50%
There are dozens of us old REQ bag holders…. dozens!
Where the fuck are the REQ shills coming from today? Ancient random shitcoin.
Reminder on why $REQ is up 50% today: \- 2000+ companies actively using the protocol \- milestone $1 billion dollars about to be hit \- Deloitte and PwC partnerships speculated \- Has gone to $1 every bull run (this 50% is just the beginning)
>Go jump into your other coins which aren’t ‘random’ I never said that. Most of my coins are as random as REQ to most people. The problem is you coming in here acting like everyone ngmi unless they have your 7 year old random coin and then telling them you're not gonna even DYOR for them. Like you want us to buy REQ? Tell us why we should and at least shill it properly. Otherwise it's just some random coin that IDGAF about.
REQ is about as random as I can imagine. And it looks like it's only been to $1 once anyway.
Please continue sleeping on the $REQ You are smarter and know more about what projects will be successful than Deloitte and PWC
Sleeping well knowing $REQ is one of flock’s only partnerships Also sleeping well knowing Deloitte and PWC are actively using @RequestFinance
Loving my $REQ baby You know it’s a good idea to throw some money in it because /r/cc hates it
I've never heard of REQ and the first page of google is no help.
Isn't this what REQ is doing for businesses? It allows for all accounting, employee payments, Request for payments, etc.. in a ton of different currencies, including crypto to Fiat.

Req probably won't be making a comeback if there are already traditional methods of payment that solve these issues. No one will use REQ just because crypto and more recently, people are focusing heavily on web3, web4 and AI tech. Alot of older alts will unfortunately perish this year.
You must be pretty new then, because REQ is an older project, shilled to hell during the 2017/18 bull run.
Damn haven’t heard REQ mentioned in a while
I mean $REQ just silently added PwC and Deloitte to their list of customers using request network protocol for accounting. If that's not adoption I don't know what is. They also acquired Consola just yesterday, which allows them to be pretty much PayPal 2.0, crypto to fiat payment requests, etc... not to mention quikbooks integration. The Real adoption is here, just not hyped as much as meme coins.
Fuckin REQ, I rode that turd to $1 (and down). So many lessons learned in 2018... lol

REQ that's a name I haven't heard mentioned again since 7 years
I have some credit card debt and am thinking of selling some of my crypto ( NEAR, REQ, GRT, a little ETH) to pay off the debt. But I know I’m going to kick myself if this bull run continues. I know nobody has a crystal ball but how likely do you guys think it is that this will continue into next month with the BTC halving? Will the alts be likely to surge soon? I know you can’t time the market but I would hate to cash out half an ETH right now as it hovers around $4k and a month from now it’s rallied to $8k or something. Probably an even greater chance of that happening with the smaller cap coins. But alternately I hate having debt so I think the mental benefit of knocking out debt will feel nice
You surely didn't sell your POE and REQ and FUN though? And the Dentacoin of course

I’m assuming you looked at CMC for its historical price action? For some reason it doesn’t show REQ hitting a dollar, but it’s two big previous runs were both up to like $1.15
Daily Reminder: REQ is free money - hitting $1 at a minimum this cycle
Don’t sleep on REQ - still a great price to jump in at even with the recent price action. The only thing holding its price from what it should be is tokenomics - which is getting revamped in 2024. REQ already has already shown how useful it is via its growth and huge crypto companies using it - most other crypto are trying to convince people that it has a purpose, but REQ already has done that
Ah yes, when I see NEO I also see REQ, VET, IOTA, XRP, ICX, XRB (former Nano) and all the 2017/18 classics.
REQ is going up again no doubt
Retired maxipad checking in. Since 2018: - The S&P index, a safe weighted index of stocks, has returned ~70% - BTC from its highs then, has returned ~90% - ETH has returned ~60% - Every other crypto in the top 25 from 6-years ago is down -60% to -98% with shitcoin investors losing most their money. After getting to a high marketcap, it's almost impossible for shitcoins to keep gaining value pulling in new investors. The notion that the market is red, now is the time to buy my shitcoin is a losing proposition. https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20180107/ The vast majority of crypto investors lose money because almost all of the crypto space is a money grab scam. These shitcoins have no fundamental value proposition and are entirely dependent on BTC price rising and bringing new dumb money to the market. Hold some BTC long term as a diversifier with traditional assets including stocks, bonds and real estate as your main holdings and for god sake avoid shitcoins (everything that is not BTC).

Lol 2017's favorite coin? I forgot about REQ. 2017's favorite coin had to have been VeChain or IOTA or something, def not REQ.
Being upfront, do you have a connection to REQ?
I've been looking at pages 2-5 on CoinMarketCap and remembered all these coins from 2017 that everyone was talking about for a quiet some time. Stuff like REQ, ICX, DNT, SIA, LSK, NANO, ARK, OMG, WTC... I've once owned every single one of these. And then I asked myself, when is a coin truly dead? When no one uses it? When the development stops? When the value/volume drops significantly? Or when you accidentally find it again on pages 2-5 on CoinMarketCap and a long forgotten name hits you in the face followed by nostalgia and the question of what could have been?
Oh god, I bought REQ back in the day. Thanks for reminding me of that...
Well it might have been over hype previously. But I was still able to make maybe $500 worth to $10k today. Hold 10k req since 2017. Saw it plunge 90% from ATH then just basically played with it buy setting buy and sell orders until it magically turned from 10k to 100k req. The thing with REQ is it will stay flat for a while then a massive volume or spike in price. Before falling back again. I just sell during those spikes and buy again what I think is the stable price.
Currently I’m buying heavy into: - NEO - REN - FLOKI On my watch list to see how the market moves / will be buying if drops further. - XVG - REQ - DGB Why? Because these coins have shown at least 2 cycles or more that they follow the parabolic moves of the market when btc and eth skyrocket. I’m not in it for the super long term. I don’t believe in buy and HODL forever. I start dcaing after I think we have reached the bottom or are near it and then plan my exit strategy for when I think the next parabolic run will end - in this case EOY 2024.
Look - I’m in a privileged position so this definitely doesn’t work for everyone. I have a portfolio of ETF’s, both value and dividend stocks and bonds. I have a good pension (401k? For the Americans I think) My crypto portfolio is my riskiest portfolio. Therefore I’m not looking to “just” gain maybe 200,300% on this part of my portfolio. I’m looking for the coins that have the potential to go x10 or more. Bitcoin is not going to do that, not this bull run at least. If these alt coins would go completely bust I wouldn’t lose a night sleep over it. The reward/risk for me is worth it. I’ve done this before in the previous bull runs. A few examples of ICO’s or early alt coins I was in are: - NEO picked up at 7$ rode that to 120$. - XRP picked up at $0,007 but got out too early. - REQ picked up at ICO at $0,002, sold at €0,50. - LRC picked up at ICO at $ 0,005? Sold at €0,90. The list goes on for a little bit but the point I’m trying to make is - without trying to sound like I know fuck about anything - I’m generally okay at picked coins that have potential to yield high returns. Which is why - for me coins like BTC or ETH have too little reward at this point.
25% BTC, 25% ETH, 25% REQ and 25% AMP. My personal opinion.
There are projects that started at the end of the last bull or during this bear market that will do 100x. 2017 was my first bull, I bought all the "popular" alts like REQ and IOTA and got wrecked. I left the market instead of buying during the bear because I was a noob. In early 2021 I found a coin that did a 30x and and NFT that did 100x. Now in preparation for a future bull market I am trying to find coins that could do a 100x. So far I have only found 1 after months. My criteria are: #1 a project that does something new and isn't a trash meme coin. The project must actually have a real world use case and a solid road map on how to achieve their goals. #2 market cap and tokenomics. Small market caps are the most risky, but offer much better chances of a 100x. That is why it is most important to find a real project with a real team first. It takes a lot less to go from 5 million to 500 million market cap than it does to go from to 500 million to 5 billion. The token should have utility beyond being a means to raise money for the project just so they can dump on you later. #3 Don't listen to people on reddit. Do your own research. Yes, me included.
on their subreddit it seems like it's due to various listings...I can't believe that a token from 2017 that was presumed dead could still do this...I'm amazed and happy at the same time because it means that other tokens/coins from 2017 too they might come back to life (yes I'm looking at you REQ and Vertcoin, lol)...
Shorting crazy pumps is a lot of fun REQ up 50% in the last two days Shorted yesterday, and I'm up 71% this morning
What's up with REQ? Mooning mofo
Looking at coinmarket cap : STORJ is down at 11% but REQ is up 58%. Is that a pump and dump name?
Fate of 99.9% of the projects people love and shill here. Remember Request Network (REQ) was the most shilled shitcoin here and people said it was the most important financial project in crypto. https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7q8ojg/heads_up_on_request_network_req/ https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7n4e07/request_network_gaining_impressive_partnerships/ https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7njeff/a_fundamental_quantitative_valuation_of_req/ https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7qf24q/why_request_network_req_is_poised_for_strong/ https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/8urnpl/request_network_erc20_cryptocurrency_payments_are/
wait for the next bull run and watch the..bring some of these shit coins back...REQ I will hold you forever
Oh wow, bye bye REQ. Along with Nano, it was once this sub's baby
I bought a starting position and looking to add more in the coming months. Got KAS, HIFI Finance, COMP, INJ, SPACE ID, ONT, WAVES, REQ, HIGH and OCEAN.
VET, SCRT, TRON, BAT, btm, Key, REQ, nav,…. The list can go on. I can’t even remember the smaller ones.
Add IOTA to the 2017-2018 hype graveyard if it’s not there already. Say hi to VET, NANO, NEO, REQ, and ICX for me.
Bought $100 of REQ once because one person gave an intriguing shill here. Few months later i woke up and it was $400. Hit sell immediately and felt pretty awesome about it.
*Looks @ 2017 REQ & ZIL stack & cries* *Wipes tears with LRC & whispers to INJ stack that "this time is different"*
I love how the shills have changed in this sub over time. I recall being here in 2017 and every comment was about REQ, VEN, XLM etc. Now everybody is a moonchild… I wonder what 2027/28 will bring us
One day i woke up and saw that the $100 of REQ I'd bought due to a shill a few months prior had hit $400 overnight. Didn't think about it, sold. Only profits ive taken so far in 2 years.
Good old REQ. Pretty sure they have a burning mechanism in place but clearly isn’t working for them
I like to look back on coins from 2018, y'all remember REQ?
I were lucky enough to enter crypto right before the ICO-craze. I had bags of Link, REQ, Kyber and whatnot that blew up based on half-empty promises alone. Was good times. Then everything just went to shit.
Who knows where moons will peak but it’s free money and to me, even .60 is crazy. I remember REQ was worth less than a penny and it peaked at $1 so I’m in it for the long term.
I haven't sold much crypto, but i got lucky once when i woke up to see my $100 worth of REQ had turned into $400 overnight. Cashed out immediately and used it to take my partner out to the best restaurant in town for our anniversary.
Nah, I was around when the mania was high and I remember thinking “this is just buzzwords”. I used to be a NEO, ARK, ICX, and REQ holder tho so I’m no stranger to getting rekt
Great write up! Some suggestions for future posts: REQ, Navcoin, Waltonchain, POE coin.
Opening up Delta and seeing my ICX, SUB, TEL, REQ, etc HEAVY bags from 2017-2018, I'll never touch another altcoin. BTC/ETH only.
People still talk about REQ? What is it 2017 again lol.
For privacy I won't give the exact context, but yes I use ETH heavily and increasingly Polygon too. I used to use Bitcoin and Counterparty back in the day as well, but obviously not in recent times. I use REQ for some accounting- although the token isn't itself necessary, it's a great protocol. And on a basic transfer function (fast, high liquidity, low fees) I like XLM and Litecoin.
Throwing money at /r/cryptocurrency beloved shitcoins after they tanked to kingdom come and people turned against it turned out great for those who invested in IOTA, REQ, ICON, Vechain, NANO, etc. > Picked up 26,000 NANO @ $5.5 ....Literally felt like I'm stealing from someone at these levels. https://np.reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/comments/8km1sl/picked_up_26000_nano_55/
Wouldn't say either is dead in terms of development... Because both are progressing along quite nicely. But I would love to see REQ and IOTA make a comeback in terms of hype.
REQ. I got REQt so hard by the “PayPal” of crypto.
Since I've been gone there are some new coins like REQ and RLY. PEPE is back. LTC is at 4th place, that's good. No sign of LRC.
Oh god REQ… The 2017 ICO bubble sure brings back memories.
REQ and FUN bringing back some serious nostalgia right now
XVG, REQ, POE, FUN and KIN. 2017 bags baby!

I used to call out every one of these scams and was targeted specifically by REQ and Substratum shills.

I was very affected by my first bear after I got in. I entered crypto in the summer of 2017 and 2018-2020 shook my faith greatly in most cryptos. I had the Reddit special of Alts in January of 2018: NEO, VET, ICX, REQ, NANO/XRB, etc. and most of those are shit and never recovered. I did however learn about ETH and BTC where I’ve been steadily buying them for years and have most of my portfolio built off of those two. I actually took some profits in 2021 but I left a good amount on the table. The key in buying alts is selling them before they begin the inevitable slope downwards from ath. Don’t be shy about taking profits, no one ever went broke doing so.
