I wouldn't share my personal details for a cash deal. There are still folks who will trade anonymously and who aren't scamsters. I would do the work and get it done sans ID. But that's me.

Yep. I don't think Ether has hit rock bottom here but we will get to a level where it is worth buying as a punt. It is definitely oversold at the moment.

Definitely a Type I. In an ideal world, I will never need to bother with fiat currency ever again. That said, we are at least 2 decades away from that scenario.

May I request that a spot be held for me until sunday when my current sig campaign concludes. Thanks for your consideration.

As I have said before, I absolutely believe that we will hit 1k soon though perhaps not before the halving. I expect 1k to happen before year end in any case.

What would be interesting to know ( as data is scarce) is whether there was ever any comments/requests for additional information when folks who have traded and profited in BTC have paid BTC trade related taxes

I would love to be able to pay my annual tax bills using BTC. Given that BTC is likely to significantly outperform fiat currencies, this makes BTC payment particularly attractive

The price increase has been helped by the halving but has been largely driven by safe haven store of value considerations as the whole world led by China has gone to shit. This trade has legs and will go on.

I am hearing via the grapevine that pretty much all fiat extraction to the bank account on Igot has crawled to a halt in India. Can anyone confirm this?

I would stay 100% in BTC at the current time. Ether looks fully priced and will need to grow into its present valuation while BTC's downside/upside still seems okay.

In case there is anybody else out there, I am still looking for reliable sellers

I think the counter-argument is that you have bought it as an asset/store of value from an exchange, not as a currency and so long as there is no blockchain trail pointing to capital control evasion, we should be fine

I would love to but in the country I live in I would struggle to survive with cryptos alone. I do try to systematically buy cryptos for a certain % of my monthly paycheque.

I would love to get to 100BTC. That's a number that I think will equate to reasonable purchasing power in retirement.

I will start selling in the low 1000's and buy again when the price dips ti 3 digits again. Haven;t sold any so far into the rally. Still waiting.

I use blockchain.info but have lately learned to appreciate Coinbase's vault offerings that allow multi sig type securing of assets
Have never used Xapo personally

I would buy at these levels still but be careful. Don't go all-in. Keep powder dry as there will be extreme volatility and retraces that will allow yo to cost average favourably

I think the fundamental point is that it must have some unique utility that is inadequately or not all addressed by other cryptos. That's a pre-requisite for an ecosystem to get built around it in the first place. That's why ethereum has done so well for instance, and why z-cash might.

Is there a link to any article about the Pankaj incident that somebody can share here please? Thanks

I think we will end post July 10th at ~ 700-750 but we may go past that level and correct. I expect the next 30 days to be absolutely bonkers and volatile
