Any suggestions for x?



That sounds like a really interesting strategy.  I like the simplicity and semi-automated nature.  Is it very profitable?

I've been trying to come up with a profitable but low-maintenance trading technique for BTC and altcoins.  The best concept I can come up with is buying on panics and selling on rallies.  Could it work to just enter an order each day that buys if one of the coins falls x% or sells if it rises x%?

I'll start out with this strategy and see if I can figure out something even better.  How do you know when to sell?  Or it is buy, buy, buy, and hold instead of buy and hold?

Interesting indeed.  This certainly falls into my low-maintenance category.  Is it really this easy?

Aren't coin mixers the kind of thing "they" will come down hard on you for if they decide to make you a target?  At some point things like that make you more suspicious and can actually serve as evidence against you.

You're right.  I don't know why I had that wrong.

Wow that's amazing.  So cryptotrader isn't an exchange but they are an interface to automated trading on the exchanges?  Has anyone else tried this?  Are there other interfaces like this?

Are there any other websites as good or better than cryptocoincharts.info for charting altcoins vs USD?

That's just the kind of advice I'm looking for.  Thank you.

I've been buying BTC and altcoins to hold.  Is there a low-maintenance approach to trading for a profit instead of just buying and holding?

A 3rd party scenario would be sending coins from your address to a 3rd party and then from the 3rd party to a different address of your's?  You would have to trust the 3rd party to some degree and I suppose you would have to use Tor.  Personally I wouldn't be able to go through a process like that and feel confident in my privacy.

How much info about our BTC is public?  If someone knows your BTC address, do they know how many BTC you have?  Someone said that they know how many BTC you "had" but I can't seem to conceptualize this.  How does it work?

I'm not sure about bonds, but with stocks (in the US) you have to pay tax when they appreciate even if you don't sell them.

Oh I see, it must be a money laundering thing.

Can't they tell how many are associated with your address and thereby how many you've spent?

I'm wondering about this too.  In the US, you have to pay tax on appreciated stocks even if you don't sell them.  On the other hand, you don't have to pay tax on appreciated real estate until you sell it.  What about BTC?

Assuming taxes aren't due before they're sold (as with stocks) I think this is the best option too.  It's just not worth it otherwise.

Which company that you trust with your BTC and fiat are you confident is not infiltrated by the US government now and will not be in the future?

You say legally, but you must mean according to the Coinbase terms of service, right?  Or is there actually a law dictating this?

BTC really isn't as anonymous as I thought.  I don't think many people will want to send BTC to a third party (myself included).  It sounds like the government will be collecting a lot of taxes from BTC appreciation.  Are people already paying taxes on this?

An exchange knows who you are, but how do they know if the address you're withdrawing your coins to is your's?

Mix them?

OK that's funny.

Sorry, I'm still new and I don't have the same grasp as most here.  How are BTC moved from Coinbase in a way that is indistinguishable from spending them?

So when the government looks at Coinbase's records, since Coinbase ties user accounts to bank accounts, the government knows how many coins each person has and how much they've appreciated?

I was thinking, if you buy your BTC at Coinbase and then transfer them wherever, anyone with access to Coinbase's records will be able to track your BTC and tie them to you.  Is that right?
