FWIW, I'm HODLing until at least next week. Still on track for end of Q1 retirement. Resolving some banking and exchange issues with making sure wire transfers are cleanly hitting the target account (... have I mentioned how silly the entire banking system is ?)
Still in the process of moving off the first large chunk of fiatcoin off the exchange, and don't want to load up any more until the USD balance reads $0. Over half-way there at this point.
Mentally "OK" will selling the next chunk @ $12.5k USD/BTC, but my gut tells me we're going to head above that by the time I'm ready to cash out again, sometime mid next week.
What's your retirement strategy in regards to balancing fiat and bitcoin?

Welp, we're going to go over $12,000. At least that's more comfortable territory.

Masterluc: Well, you understand. From 10k and lower - the last station of the departing train. Who did not have time - buy as last time in life.
More than 10k does not make sense from my point of view.

Oh my. Just got an email from one of my old "hot-shot-investor-type" acquaintances that is telling me he is thinking about shorting BTC.
At sub $10k.
...
My partner is literally facepalming himself right now.
It's real quiet out here in the wilderness, by the way. No coyote sightings yet.
BOB, I SEE BTC IS NEAR ROCK BOTTOM NOW. GOOD TIME TO SHORT?

How the hell is China banning bitcoin again? ?? And panic starts are those poeple dumb In a bull market you wouldn't even be hearing about that. In a bear market people look for every little piece of FUD to try to explain the situation. The truth is that the crypto sector is in a huge bubble. I would argue bitcoin is not, but it's going to get dragged down anyway, for now. Seriously - $150 Billion Ripple Market Cap? This had to happen.

Hello. I'm trying HiveOS for the first time and I've hit a snag, after configuring the rig, wallet, etc.
I've tried a couple different miners and a couple different pools, and I keep getting "Unable to resolve host".
Update: I added the -SC 2 argument, and now I can connect to eth.suprnova.cc, but I still can't get any work.

I was just reminded that today is a banking holiday in the US. That's likely contributing to the underwhelming action.

Would it be a stretch to say that there are too many people on the planet? When we're the new elite class, we can send all non-hodlers to concentration re-education summer camps.

Ive seen people use r9 series with this. Is it just the overclocking thats not supported?
Most R9 cards should work, except for the 270/270x. I'm not sure about overclocking.

Kodak, wow just wow, 400% in two days - not bad for a company that destroyed itself by ignoring digital photos.
Here's a script for any ailing company: 1. Start pushing an internal cryptocoin or blockchain integration agenda 2. Quietly buy up company stock shares for 6 months 3. Publically announce said crypto agenda, even it is complete vaporware 4. Watch shares of stock get pumped jump 400-500% overnight 5. Profit ! Holy insider trading, I nailed it! https://www.marketwatch.com/story/kodak-stock-pulls-back-directors-disclose-acquisitions-prior-to-blockchain-rally-2018-01-11"On Jan. 8, the day before Kodak’s crypto announcement, no fewer than seven directors acquired derivative securities convertible to common stock, according to Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The securities are restricted stock units, or RSUs, which were granted under Kodak’s “2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan” (OIP) and vest on Jan. 8, 2019, except as otherwise provided in the award notice, and subject to continuous service as a member of the board of directors, according to the filings. Even with the timely acquisition, there’s no guarantee the RSU’s will be profitable when they are vested.
Some board members also sold derivative securities, convertible to common shares, on Jan. 9, the day the “blockchain” news was reported.
Kodak said the timing of the insider activity was a “coincidence.”
Jail time for Bonzo? "Coincidence."

This so-called "#metoo" movement is hilarious and shows how horrible of prostitutes western women are. Every single male in the world with over $2 in their pocket now has 50 women claiming they were raped by them. Take this James Franco guy for instance. Here's one of this guy's accusers, "Violet Paley". It's some type of B-movie actress, and what was this prostitute doing in the year 2012? Starting a gofundme page asking random strangers on the internet to give her $50,000 for no reason LOL: http://www.gofundme.com/helpvioletgotocollegeThe mind of a woman is literally the mind of a prostitute. They believe men are supposed to provide for them, and if they do not have some type of fool giving them stuff on hand, or if nobody will marry them, their next course of action is ALWAYS to lobby for the govt to act as a replacement provider (which really just means the unwilling sum of all men should be forced to), and if that fails, it's time to try and extort someone like that guy. We're going to have to abolish all forms of women's rights because they will vote for socialism 100% of the time, and if they can't get socialism from the govt or by finding some idiot to marry them, they will attempt to abuse the legal system to the max to try to find other ways to force men to give them money. I would think a conservative would not mind the #metoo movement in the US. It's mostly the liberal men who fall prey to this. When a conservative falls prey to sexual accusations, it's almost like water off a duck's back, for the most part. That's how you can tell I'm not biased, because the guy in question is 1/2 white 1/2 Jew, and even though I despise the Jews, it's even more offensive seeing bimbos make Gofundme pages asking people to give them money for no reason and then trying to extort people if that fails. Not even the fucking Jews make Gofundme pages. They just steal the money. So the activity of girls like this is even more offensive than the Jews themselves. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/You can thank me later. TLDR: Women are grown-up toddlers who need to be led around by strong men.

This is what I've been reading too. They're still only planning to shut down any exchange that doesn't strictly follow KYC, tax laws, etc.

If you want Ethereum, probably better to just buy some and HODL - looking at all the miners of the last few months, more profits can be made by just buying and hodling This. It's almost always more profitable just to buy the coins and hodl.

Update from Masterluc: https://vk.com/bitcoin_vangaWhat's Bitcoin? At bitcoins there is a bearish flag for now. I do not recommend shorts - I have not yet seen a clear turn. You know how it goes here with bearish figures ...
Congratulations to the survivors of the New Year coma.

...Too soon?

I sold my BCH too soon. I don't want to make the same mistake with BTG. I plan on dumping once the inevitable pump comes.
|
|

But, but, but...when people mention bitcoin, they're actually referring to bitcoin cash, since that's the real bitcoin.

So, I spent $15k USD, with change and paid a $10 transaction fee, and it confirmed in 32 minutes. That's not too bad.
Not very good, either. $1-5 and 2-4 minutes is what I call 'not too bad'. Comes with tx capacity similar to RSK, and completely fungible. Base layer Pretty good will be $0.25-$1 -coming this year, if not this quarter. I know. la la la la la la! I can't hear you! My first and probably last Monero shill post here. I love Monero. However, Monero has it's own issues, such as the enormous blockchain.
