Same chart 'channel', 6 hour picture with 50 and 200MA lines, my preference.  Am I digging deeper hole?


Just don't think it's going to hell 'cause we dipped to the price it was a week ago! Man up, people

It was in a channel and popped out over it on the 21st.  Just a gut feeling: I think 10K holds and the top of the old channel (around 10.5K) will be rough area of support.


Let's see - if I am wrong I will be wrong fast, I reckon. If there is no support then I can't see being right even over the weekend.

Just back up... was a little concerning with Finex out too.

But all seems well.

Evidently.  Is everyone being a little blasé?

Is it all 'meh, wake me up when it's 20K'...?

That rate it's going, I am not sure if there is time for Xhomerx to make a $12,000 hat.

Haven't seen this in a while - but it still fits.

I actually did pick up some of a decent Alt this morning, I had a few sats left from getting out of LTC just in time a few days back.  Then spent it on something else that promptly dropped 5% today.

Should have HODL'd it.... Hey ho, got to trade a little - for the adrenaline if nothing else.

Yes, but most GBP exchanges are not comparable in liquidity and spread to trading in USD...

I did/ still do trust Stamp - who are as close as it gets to a major UK exchange as the company is (I think) still registered in the UK.

I don't like Coinbase, but to be able to pick up quickly via an instant bank transfer was neat, once they set up a UK site in GBP.

Kraken are a big player in the Euro/BTC market, but are based in the USA, which is not so good if you have an issue and are based in Europe, as I mostly am.

Thanks, Mic - and good for you, too.  Generosity is its own reward and you are a generous soul.

Back atcha mate - and that reminds me... my hat is out of date. Hardly wore it in!  10K? 

Soooo last season.

Hey mate - we have shared a certain thread for a few years - have a couple back. 

For Pro, you go through a non-UK bank.

The trick was to pay to 'normal' CB (still UK bank) and then you can do free and instant internal transfers. 

But that door seems to be closed.

Yup - the ALT/BTC charts are largely the opposite of the BTC/FIAT ones.

I still have too many, I was looking to sell them for BTC to cash out a little (so as not to touch the 'proper stuff' in cold storage)

Seems like I've left it a little late for most of them.  Most are zero net cost now - but still, it's an 'ouch'.


Edited for sense.

Ref. Coinabse in UK:
Transactions in used to be damn quick.  Minutes, even.

A few days ago I popped a bit of fiat over to CB and sure enough it arrived in minutes - but when I went to transfer it to Coinbase Pro as I have done before - it was 'on hold'.

They now put it on hold for five days before 'releasing it'. Just so you know; 'in' is not instant anymore, it seems (at least for me).  It's a shame as getting money in fast was a big plus. That's cost me more than a few bucks.

I can't say on withdrawal of cash as I don't cash out on Coinbase, though - I have always used Stamp for that. 


Ref: Stamp - they did start to ask a LOT of questions in late '17 about where I the coins I had sold were from.  Very intrusive and (at that time) they held a fair sum I wanted out until I answered.  I was a little rattled as it was a serious figure.  Sorted in the end - but I had to jump through hoops that were far more intrusive than ordinary KYC.

I keep a USD account at a bank in the UK so I don't lose out on the USD - EURO - GBP exchange losses.  Then use a Forex broker to get back into GBP when I need to.   That said, having USD was useful to buy back at Stamp once we bottomed out.

So far, not too many questions at the bank I have the USD a/c at.  I didn't actually say upfront it was for BTC, of course.  I just said it was 'USD investment income', which was not a lie.

Hey - I popped a post up on the power of BTC this morning and seemed to have been blessed with much appreciation.

You made my day and I can spread some sM around again. Thank you.

Good to see you pop by, Aminorex.

I am hoping it's timed to signal a turn upwards - I confess I really didn't expect to see it go under 0.01.

I have always worked for myself and still have a small company.

One of the guys has worked for me for nearly 20 years, but he has always opted out of the pension scheme 'waste of money - everyone in my family died before they reached pension age' he said.

He rents an apartment, and what worries me is that when he retires (he's in his mid 40's), he just won't be able to afford to keep paying rent on a state pension.  He told me - 'I am saving, but I can't see how I will ever save up enough - prices keep going up, but my savings are climbing too slowly'.

Last year was a struggle - but we had a big contract in late in the year.  I said "If you can help me get this delivered before the end of the year, I will give you a bonus in January."

He did it.  I then said, I want to give the bonus to you in Bitcoin, but you have to hold it for at least a year.  If it has not gone up in that time, I will simply give you the cash instead - if it does - you just might be able to actually afford that deposit on a place of your own.

The bonus was around $6000 (in my currency) and the company bought him the BTC in Jan.

At this rate - he is well on his way to what will be a very positive change in his circumstances.  

This will be huge in terms of his outlook; THIS is the transformative power of Bitcoin.

I am so happy I was able to do this. Thank you, Bitcoin.

Selling the rest - like ALL?   At 20K!

Don't tell me, you will invest in PMs, right..? Another bitter hater will be born - honestly: don't go full retard.  Please.

Woke up with a familiar tune in my head - not sure the lyrics are quite right

Bitcoin mooning in the dead of night...
