Exchanges rate does really vary and it depends in which source they're taking the rates. But in fees they have big differences. This means that whichever has the best fees, you should use them.
But other traders don't mind the fees, as long as they get the best trading experience that exchange can offer. And why everyone is recommending Binance over them all? it's simple because they're approachable and everyone did have a good experience trading there.

Both feelings. The regret that I had is when I've sold earlier. That's it. Rather than selling holding it for better, I didn't anticipated that the another all-time high would come very soon. And the allowance of time when I've sold isn't that far from the time we've seen bitcoin breaking the all-time prices. It is okay to regret OP, that's how it is. If you have patience and you've held for so long, you deserve the result that you have by just holding it.

It might be majority of us in here are preferring to see bitcoin going into a series of peaks than to see altcoins. No idea still when will the altcoin will come. It doesn't sound look that we're going to see it very soon. With all of the ruckus and news that we see today in altcoins, I doubt it that we'll actually see it the soonest. In that reason, it's best to wish and get yourself some bitcoins while it's not yet going to peak. Money from some altcoins market cap are going through bitcoin and we can see that through bitcoin's dominance.

Nice or not, as long as it's profit. You should be happy that you've took it on a profit status and not in a loss. It is really mentally draining when you keep thinking of the price you've sold and then the price of bitcoin continuously going up. You'll just have stress because of it.
We have to grateful when we have the profit. But the lesson is not to sell all that you have at once. Sell at once but always keep a bigger portion left to be sold in the future.

Thanks for the payments, advance happy new year! 

It seems that we're going to learn another lesson this time. But this could also be at the top and if you have sold, no need to think of it because you have already the money and you've got plans if it didn't meet the price you're about to rebuy. Unlike me which I've sold for very minimal reasons and that's a heavy lesson to learn.

This is just what I have to think if I've sold at a lower price but still got the profit from that price.

I have also noticed that because I hold a few altcoins like Ethereum that I want to see it cross its past ATH. But with the dominance of bitcoin, it's taking most of the market cap of the whole cryptocurrency that is the reason why most money is on bitcoin. We will see the altcoin season but we don't know how long bitcoin's dominance would stay. But I'm more in favor of seeing bitcoin at its top rather than wishing to see the altcoin season because it's more profitable for me if it's bitcoin going further to the next all-time highs.

Wait a minute? do you think that bitcoin is an HYIP? "High Yield Investment Program". Did you type wrong? instead of hype, you typed hyip?
I want to correct you that it's not HYIP but it's hype. People may find that the sequence and bull run that happens to bitcoin this day could mislead them if somebody thinks it's an HYIP. We're done with those days when people always say that bitcoin is like one. While it's going to try to enter $30k soon, we have to focus and look forward to that first before $40k and above.

The price is correcting as I'm typing this post. I've seen it gone down from $27k. It's on $26,310 and could have gone lower. I think this is the same pattern that we get after bitcoin have made it on $24k then got back to $21k. This is needed to happen for us to see another all time high. It had made it through $28k and with this correction that's putting it down, we might see it go back stronger @ $30k within the next few days if the pattern and rise will be the same just like its steps on $24k - $28k.

Bitcoin is at the top choice and if there will be an altcoin for me, it could only be ETH for now. The two cryptos would be the ideal in this bull run to have and don't need much to diversify. I have no prediction for 2021 to bitcoin but I like those predictions that I see from $50k to $100k. Yours is higher than what I like and that's $100k. If it's going for $133k, max to $140k then everyone is starting to get bullish on bitcoin. Without having any sign of stoppage we might see a longer bull run this time.

I agree on this, Binance has a low % of fee and you can deposit fiat on it as long as they are supporting it. And that means, you don't need bitcoin to deposit for you to start trading. Check their list of supported fiat deposits.

You got a nice idea but you don't invest into random stocks if you don't research about it. And that's the same principle in investing in bitcoin. If you think that it will double your money, you're going to invest to it.
You can follow the idea why institutional investors are coming in and they don't mind buying bitcoin at the price that we have. It is worth it no matter how much the price is but you have to think long term rather than short term.

This is more than a celebration especially for those holders who have been through a lot on 2018 and for this year. Both years have the most difficult times holding bitcoin because they were the years when bear markets happened. But celebration won't stop there.
Are these people still willing to hold further? Well, I am and I guess everybody would agree onto holding it a little bit longer up until it reaches another milestone where we're going to see it with 6 digits.

I thought that this end of the year we'll only see bitcoin playing on $24k but it just broke that expectation.

Happy and it removes the stress that the other things give me. Every time I look at the price on coinmarketcap, this gives me confidence that in the soonest, we'll no longer see the low prices that once we stayed and thought of it as a confident price as of watching bitcoin's volatility.
To see that my portfolio have gone up in value, can't remove that thought of feeling to sell some at the early phase but that's it. Moving on to another ATH maybe by new year's eve or by the entire 2021.

Although that it is no longer your concern how they do that, as long as they send you guys the payment and the amount the stakes you deserve, that's all that matters. But aside from multi-sending, they can also send it one after another and the cost and effort will be on them if they do it like that.
But with hundreds to thousands of participants, they are likely sending it by batch to save time and effort. The fees? it's not that much if the project is successful and garnered millions of dollars.

About monbux, he has already said his closing words that he wouldn't work as an escrow for now and he has done his part being one. His thread was already closed.

So be careful if someone approaches you through telegram because he don't use it. And that person who imitates him through TG is a scammer.

Small exchange have done it first. And if it's coming from Coinbase, they're the biggest in the US then other exchanges that are operating inside US might follow this decision. Bitstamp has done their part but for the US residents only and it would gotten worst if they will start to take it as a whole thing in their platform. So this is very possible decision for Coinbase for the next coming days or weeks. When this is decided, there will be a massive dump that will for sure to happen and will make every XRP holder in panic.

This is a very good point to think of. MicroStrategy and other institutions have been continuously buying even if it's in the bull run. I know they're better than me if it's about the market and there's specific reason why they do that despite it's not that advisable to buy at the top.
Maybe this top that we're having and experiencing lately is just the start of it all. And later on, this top will eventually be covered by another top and so on and so forth. If there's a lesser supply that's in the circulation then the miners are the ones that would take all the coins at ATH price to sell it to these institutions if there's not that much supply anymore in exchanges and OTC markets.

IMHO, this is not new. Before we get to see the bullish run, there will always be news like this that sums of bitcoins are coming in and out from exchanges. Be it from whales, institutions or just an individual playing his own transfer to make it out on the news and sort of move the market. Just like us, these whales want to have their bitcoins on their own custody rather than let it on the exchanges where the exchanges are the ones that will take control of their holdings. But needless to say, this still brings a good vibes with the market that we have but we don't know how long they'll be holding. They can move it from time to time and then there will be a batch of articles and tweets publishing it.

Yup, that's what I do when I needed to. There's no need to wait any longer for me to hold it if I don't have much left in my pocket. But that don't speak for all of the holdings I've got. And as much as I want to sell, if I've got some altcoins that are also in profit, I choose them first before I choose bitcoin.
It's about what you choose, be the buyer or be the seller. You can be both but be sure when you sell, you just don't sell at losses or just break even. This is market, there are gainers and losers all of the time but choose to be the gainer.
