NFT: Bitcoin - what is happening?

ij_reilly : 12/7/2017 11:27 am
Over $18,000 now.

This is insane.

I'm holding 1.5 Bitcoin, I guess I keep holding.

I sold 90% of my Schwab account and bought Bitcoin with all of it  
Overseer : 12/8/2017 12:21 pm : link
shit tanked and my wife left me to go live with her parents in Boca Raton.

Then it shot back up and she called me to tell me she's moving back in. I told her to go fuck herself but while we were on the phone, it dropped again (!!) and she hissed "oh who needs you anyway, limpdick?"

This is all really taking a toll on my heart. I really do not feel well you guys.

Oh well, big money big money no whammies!

ETFs?


I invest in many tech companies that are enabling blockchain infrastructure. some are established major players, fortune 50 companies that are getting into blockchain now like they did with cloud a few years ago, others niche new tech/semi start up, but yes, I'm a believer in blockchain enough to risk my money on it but not via ETFs, just specific stocks.

Bitcoin... man I owned 700 bitcoins back in 2012 and used them all to buy drugs from china.

I'd be really wealthy if I kept them.. but knowing me I would have lost the coins via broken hardware or forgotten passwords

You don't really think you're the only one who saw that episode of Big Bang Theory, do you?

Makes sense. I've been out of the investment game for a few years but will be getting back into it in the near future.

If you don't realize how transparent you are, you should probably use the breathalizer that you bought, because you're clearly wasted on Chinese drugs and alkaline water.

Again, you're a joke.

Are there any resources that you'd recommend that lay out the players / ecosystem for a laymen to get themselves familiar with? Once my bonus hits I'm looking to put some money into the space as well.

Litecoin is having a day today.
I bought $100  
halfback20 : 12/9/2017 4:37 pm : link
In litecoin. Figured id see what it does.
Thinking I should buy $100 bitcoin also  
DennyInDenville : 12/9/2017 5:01 pm : link
Litecoin is solid

But I just read Bitcoin could eventually hit 300 trillion market cap

That means $100 could still turn into a lot..

The other night I wanted to buy 2 more LTC at $97, couldn't buy until today I bought 1.25 LTC at for $199 with fees instead at $152 per 1.0

Sucks I missed out on the 60% bump
Litecoin creator will be on CNBC Monday  
DennyInDenville : 12/9/2017 5:03 pm : link
Could expect another bump

Weird; seems like LTC owners should root for BTC also? They help each other?

That's why I think I should buy a tiny bit of BTC just so I have both

I only put in 100, so i didn't get 1. Got .69.... or somewhere around that. I should have just bought 1 whole litecoin probably.
Sheesh... I'm addicted to this shit

Too volatile for me.

I have my sell point. Once Litecoin hits 25k I'm out
Gemini is taking forever to verify me since Monday...  
bradshaw44 : 12/9/2017 11:48 pm : link
And as each day passes I’m getting more and more wary of investing. I have the money to play with and won’t mind losing X Amount so I will invest it. But just reading this thread I’m expecting to lose it. Just stepping back and reading the thread is eye opening. Definitely seems like it’s too good to be true, or get rich quick-ish. These things usually don’t end well. But I’ll put in what I don’t mind losing. ROI and all, ya know?

Yeah so true.

I only put in $300 since the new hype Thursday and at most I'll drop another $200.

Expecting to lose it all, but if 2018 is a good year I'll sell 4/5 of my LTC and BTc and call it a win and hope my remaining 1/5 goes far in 19-20
Also the same verification problem happened with me as well  
DennyInDenville : 12/9/2017 11:52 pm : link
Sucks because LTC was in the 90s and didn't get verified until it had already hit 190s and dipped back to 152 where I bought my last one

Yea I feel like I missed the big gains this week. Had I made it in on time I would have pulled out my initial investment and rode the wave on house money. I hope this week wasn’t the end of the over hype and growth. Just give it two more weeks and it can be worth it. Win lose or draw.

Where are the stories of the people who just became "instant millionaires"? If someone bought $1000 in BitCoin 5 years ago and they want out, is there a viable exit plan to convert the BitCoin to USD?

Yes easily, many many services convert btc to usd

Including the Coinbase app

However, many of those millionaires didn't have coinbse, they'd have to store it themselves

Charlie Lees response

"I think it could effect the US Dollar more then any single company"

Whole panel was speechless.. they just had nothing to say

Was really priceless..

Lmao and the guy talks soooo incredibly socially awkward that you know he's not lying...

Lol all LTC owners check out the full interview on chArlies twitter page
I really  
halfback20 : 12/11/2017 6:49 pm : link
Wish i would have just bought 1 LTC instead of just $100 worth. On the bright side, my $100 is worth over $130 in just a couple days.

I guess I'll hold on to it. If it goes down any ill buy enough to have 1 ltc.

Any suggestions for where i should store it?

Colossus of Rhodes : 12/11/2017 6:56 pm : link
I am storing mine in my coinbase account but after I did all that my friend who works for Blockchain said he uses a Trezor wallet for his bitcoin and litecoin. I didn't look into it because I already have coinbase.
I'm worried one day Coinbase will get hacked and we lose everything  
DennyInDenville : 12/11/2017 6:58 pm : link
But until then I'm also using it.

Ugh, LTC needs a spokesperson but Charlie tweeted LTC could cash 80% and the price instantly dropped $30 it was on its way to $300

Can the coins in my coinbase account

be moved to a wallet on my local computer without a transaction fee?

I'm not really sure yet how to handle this. I installed a wallet on my laptop and I'm guessing I just send to the address of my local wallet?

I'm not moving anything yet but this is something i need to figure out.

+1 me too.

Hopefully I don't have to go thru reddit to find out.
Well the $100 i put on coinbase  
halfback20 : 12/11/2017 8:38 pm : link
Which is about .61 LTC is worth about $140 right now.

Is it safe to keep it on coinbase?

Should i do it right now, or do you all think it will go back down soon?
I'm up $8k with my LTC in about 10 days  
Overseer : 12/11/2017 9:20 pm : link
Unexpected but a pleasant surprise.

My plan is to get 1 $6,000 hooker, then a $1,000 hooker, then a $900 hooker, then a $99 hooker, and finally use that last dollar on like a toothless tweaker to gum me to completion near a dumpster behind the Safeway.

I'm in for a wild night boys. Thanks Litecoin!

$270+  
sb2003 : 12/11/2017 9:23 pm : link
it has to dip eventually.
Touching 270 now
