www.Circle.com or www.Coinbase.com are easy solutions with minimal to no fees. You can also use www.LocalBitcoins.com for a swift cash deposit at an above preev price. Nor, do you mind me asking what your average buy price is for your stockpile? Pure curiosity.


I thought that he already said around $280, so even selling at $380, he would be up $100 per BTC.. something like that.

ohhh he meant at what price i bought them. sorry i thought you said at what price i am selling them..


I'm not going to go back through the posts, but my recollection, more or less, was that you asserted that you hold about 190 BTC, and you were becoming somewhat anxious regarding when to sell them.. but also Peonminer was asking you about your average buy price.


I had understood that you had made a couple of purchases, and that your profits would be around $100 per coin, if you sold at current price.

I don't recall whether you specified if that was your average buy price only for the 40 coins or if your total portfolio had an average buy price in the upper $200s.


You know many of us who have been buying BTC for a while, and even trading BTC to some extent have made a large number of transactions, and we come up with a variety of ways to attempt to calculate our average costs per BTC and the extent to which we are profitable or not.  

I personally think that these profitability considerations are all valid, and also, I am totally accepting of the fact that posters have a considerable variety in their ways of calculating their investment in bitcoin and the extent to which they may be profitable or not.

You do not necessarily need to disclose either your total number of coins or your average buy price or your framework; however, sometimes it can be helpful towards considering what to do and how to perceive your situation... and peonminer was asking you about your average price per btc for your whole BTC holdings... which is up to you whether you disclose such details.




oh right, no i dont mind disclosing, its considered as informative.

100 below $230 and 50 between $230-$245 (banked a large cash so converted a portion) and around 40.69 between $260-$290

thats why i wanted to sell a little bit over $400. i would feel more profitable. but still, in about 24hours, ill drop maybe 30-35coins. just to get a little bit of liquidity and the rest i will keep them (for the time being because the situation is not yet critical critical) but if it drops to $380-$385 am dumping all and do something else with my life.

So your average buy in price is quite a bit less than what I had initially thought that you had said..

Anyhow, based on what you said, I will place your average buy in price around $245 per BTC, and your total amount invested around $45k.

Actually cashing out all or a very large portion of your BTC holdings may not be a bad idea, because taking or locking in profits can be a good thing and then to reconsider your situation.  

One problem with taking profits;however, could be tax consequences, and you may want to consider keeping some of your bitcoins invested in BTC in order that you will not need to consider tax consequences (at least defer such considerations until when you cash out).

But that is a personal choice.

It seems that your personal amount invested in BTC is around $45k, and the value of your BTC holdings is around $75K (at $400).  

Personally, I would recommend that you consider some form of moderate approach in cashing out that would keep a portion of your BTC holdings.  

You could cash out a bit over half of your BTC holdings or even around half, and get back most of your initial dollar investment, but even if bitcoin remains, quite volatile, if you continue to hold 50 to 90 BTC, you will still be in a considerably decent position without having a whole lot of your personal money invested (mostly just profits), so for example, you could cash out the equivalent of $45k, and still maintain nearly half of your coins for the longer term...

Anyhow, ultimately, the choice is yours to make in light of your total circumstances.

By the way, providing specific numbers does help us to consider your particular matter more thoroughly, but it does also disclose personal information about you too that may not be necessary in order to brainstorm with you about considerations in making a decision.. because ultimately, when you make a decision about what to do with your bitcoins and your life investment choices, you are likely weighing other factors merely beyond your bitcoin holdings.


 

you are totally on target about what i am planning to do. but i have to say if this is a plan of the whale then the scenario has already been made once. remember it reached a top high $320 and then drop to $220 (thats when i thought it was wise to buy fast)
then few months later it topped over $400.

now, i am not saying i should not cashout, but like you said, cashing out a small considerable amount to keep the cash in liquid money and able to do something about it is not a bad idea. i actually like your reasoning and you have been speaking my mind out.

few hours from now, i am going to sell 35 btc at $400 per btc. but the minimum buying is 1btc and not less.

if i do happen to do it, ill let you know. but if i dont you will see me speculate about probable positivity on the thread again lol.


edit : if any of you have a good reliable idea or exchanger i can cash out 35btc at once. let me know.


Regular verified Coinbase accounts allow you to cash out $50,0000 at once.  You can also create an account on uphold and cash out without moving the coins to a bank... or you can put all your cashing out coins on circle or coinbase, and just convert the whole account to dollars... which is effectively accomplishing the cashing out for free... and then just withdrawal at your own pace.

international bank transfer is possible from coinbase??

Next - we'll see a consolidation @around $440
right and  $769 is a good target for the top of another small bubblish bump up

next 3 months of action might be 440  450  460 pop to 769 drop to 500

seems we're riding the same wave Wink - IMO it could happen faster


hopes...

if i get preev price, ill got with it.

I'm sure this is all above board. Why don't I just wire you the money?

i dont understand? o.O

and also for this amount i would believe 2 escrows would be required (you pick and discuss with him)

if there is no change in the price going upwards in the next 48hours, am dumping 40.

any idea where i can sell 40btc at preev price?

transfer to me should be by bank transfer.

also, i agree with a statement made up the post. i am going to sell 40btc and keep 150btc. i do have a feeling that it might go up but i have to save my ass from getting burned too much of what i can afford to.

Chinese Mining Pools Worried About Immature Segregated Witness Proposal

http://www.newsbtc.com/2016/01/26/chinese-mining-pools-worried-about-immature-bitcoin-core-block-size-proposal/


As if the Bitcoin community was not sick and tired of the ongoing block size debate just yet, it looks like the Chinese miners have come to a consensus of their own. The plan is to reject any forking of Bitcoin that does not gain 90% consensus or more while still favoring a 2 MB block size increase. During a recent meeting between mining pool operators, various security concerns associated with Segregated Witness were raised. It looks like Bitcoin Classic is winning this “race”.



what will the outcome of bitcoin classic have over the actual up and down price?
92  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 26, 2016, 06:16:42 PM
if the recent dev who quit bitcoins and has dumped all his coins is behind this, i *may* have an idea about the strategy he is using. let me breakdown (its still just speculations)

since he has sold all his btc he has liquidity, plus he is now on the banking side. which means he may or may not use his insider knowledge to push bitcoins down to the drain (as bankers have always been trying to do)

so what he *might* have proposed to the bank is the only way to make people less attracted to bitcoins is by pulling its price down, how to pull it down is by pushing altcoins up. pushing altcoins up will make people more interrested in altcoins than in bitcoins thus dropping its price stability (more or less stability it was having at $400+)

then when bitcoin price is totally at a point people wont be interrested in and altcoins price have risen over bitcoin price, they *might (if they did buy) * just flush all the altcoins down the drain and that would be more or less the end of the cryptocurrency era until something else happens which makes it resist.

possible people who will be profitable with this scenario is the dev who is now working with the banks and the banks since they will buy very low and sell very high.

well of course i may not have enough knowledge about cryptocurrency to be exact in my claims but if we speak about "finance" this is how its running in my mind for a possible explanation about whats happening.

there is also the fear that btc will go below $380 in the mind of people. if btc doesnt stabilise at $400+
i myself will start panicking since i recently (few months ago) bought a lot at $221 and $238

now if its at $380 i will still be 100$+ profitable over each btc i have but speaking about finance and profitability, for me its a $25 loss that i will be looking at. and i will start dumping with the crowd who will most probably be doing the same at $380.

Massive pumps in tons of alts. Doge +76%. Some others less known +117%. Someone has a theory to explain this move?.

This doge is soo shortable that im tempted...

killing bitcoins pushing altcoins up and then when btc price is half down it is now, buying a lot of btc and then killing the altcoins again. its just a profitability issue for whales
94  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 26, 2016, 02:56:45 PM
can anybody has a decent explanation about why the price is moving up and down $388 to $405???


for one thing: price cannot go below 350 .. or below 300 ... its hovering in the rest spot safe zone where it is too high to buy and to low to sell ... bitcoin is in gimpmode right now cuz of blockchain cant scale and the halvening .



there is no such thing as cannot. am sure you want to say must not. (ill give you the benefit of the doubt for that one)

and IMHO if it goes slightly under $380 you will see dumps coming from nowhere and shooting the price down $300. TBH if it does reach $380, ill run to dump 40 ASAP.

I need to cash some out, I don't need the moon at this point. I'd settle for low geosynchronous orbit.



im cashing out 40btc in a few days and the 150 i will have left, i dont need that much cash for the time being. ill just keep it if it rockets i will dump later, if it dies i will be happy i was part of the biggest event that happened after the big bang.

<snip>
nor9865 has a history of leaving trust from his alt accounts in order to make his alts appear more trustworthy then they really are. In the past he left positive trust for Netpyder.....just saying....
Not trying to hijack this thread, but as I might be interested in doing bitcoin-->cash through the mail with OP at some point, just what are you saying?  Are you implying that OP and nor9865 are one and the same?  If yes, then show the proof.  If not, then what you said makes not a shit of difference.
I am just stating the fact that nor9865 was previously used to provide positive trust feedback to one of his alt accounts for a currency exchange trade that did not actually happen. The conclusion that nor9865 is the same person as the OP is one that you made after I pointed out the above fact and that nor9865 gave a positive review to the OP.

There is obviously no blockchain evidence connecting the OP to other accounts considering that he never posted any addresses (IIRC), and the very small number of posts it has made overall, although there are huge gaps (in time) in the OP's post history.

If you are going to transact with cash in the mail, then one party (or both) needs to have huge amounts of trust. Even if you video tape the packaging/opening of an envelope, there would be nothing to stop one party from tampering with the envelope before/after the video stops.   
Read what I wrote.  You stated a fact, and I am questioning with good reason why you chose to state that fact here.  If you have no proof of anything then your comment is out of place. 
Nope, not out of place. I am pointing out a reason why any statement that nor9865 makes that describes a positive trading experience, or opines that someone else can be trusted should be taken with a grain of salt.

As you can see, no evidence, just speculation - ie defamation.
Nothing that I said is speculation.

you see the reason why i am not worried about you is, you have a very interresting mind and i love to follow your post when im bored. ive read a lot from your "previous post by user".

ive noticed something very very common in your scam accusations and sometimes scams that were really going on.

you seem to know a lot about those move of self vouching or tricking other people.

the scam accusations that you point out, seems like scam that you were actually accused of being authored. if not, then NOT YET ACCUSED.

Quickscammer, face it, you will never be on the default trust again. and make sure in the following post you dont whine about not wanting to be on the default trust or blablabla.

the thing is, you sold your reputation, your respect, your status you had on the forum, for a few bucks. and for that.

Shame on you

also, make sure to follow my posts, there is something that will happen on my profile and you would jump to comment or scam accused me. just keep yourself updated with my posts. give me 48 to 72more hours.

p.s i am sure you will use your alts to do whatever i think you will be doing. but you will be bashing me on this profile.

Quickscammer, there is a saying that goes like this in english : you dont run around saying your neighbour has a pebble in his garden when you have a mountain in yours.

Cheers

p.s to OP, sorry you had to deal with this. i think we can clear this mess by giving the videotape to sebastian, but then ofcourse there is Quickscammer might say its just video i as you self shot and thats it.

i suggest we could just post the tracking number on public and let Quickscammer take his accusations and shove it up his you know where...

any possible solutions you have, be my guest.

Well, as for everybody dealing for the first time in those kind of situation, i would be telling lies if i say i wasnt a bit worried.

but coinmonster answered all request, he came through very patiently.

also, if the tracking number doesnt come online the first 2 days, dont worry, its not a problem it will once it reaches another usps facility Wink (learnt my lesson on this one lol)

SebastianJu was very kind and even tho we were exchanging pm he didnt mind anything, the way he puts deals the way he make both parties understand and agree on all terms. One hell of an escrow this guy is.

Finally, i would recommend to use coinmonster for any cash in the mail deal anyone need. he is very calm and talk very nicely even tho i was a little bit odd with my questions.

here you go my man, your first review  Cool
nor9865 has a history of leaving trust from his alt accounts in order to make his alts appear more trustworthy then they really are. In the past he left positive trust for Netpyder.....just saying....

i was waiting for you stupid trash face.

oh no i didnt not open the thread to go against him, i am just saving my ass from being 2bitcoin down.

again a common example. kfc show you the food in a picture, then you pay for it and get it.
if you only know the name of the food without visual confirmation, will you buy it? and the food costs $800

the pharmacist, the guy coinmonster is good. i was worried a bit about tracking not showing online the first 2 days but once it reached another facility it went online straight. and i felt relieved (but worried about what was coming through the mail tho lol) but all went ok.

both sebastian and coinmonster were great to communicate with.

oh i have decided for sure.

without visual confirmation and a note of the sellers username on a paper on the miner. nothing will be done. i am spending nearly $1300. not $2 bread.
