1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ABT] ArcBlock - BORN FOR BLOCKCHAIN 3.0 on: February 04, 2018, 07:06:01 AM
The way this ICO has been handled from an investor perspective, is diabolical!

They're holing on to unsuccessful contributions for up to 9 week. No other ICO would do that and it's not a reasonable thing to do either? What's the reason for that?
Additionally, they're saying they'll retain 20% of the funds of people who exceeded the gas limit. Why? That's a hell of a lot of Eth they're collecting and putting straight into their pockets.A money grab, pure and simple.

As a community, if we don't start up to this kind of unfair practice, the future looks bleak, imo.
2  Economy / Exchanges / GDAX EUROPE: inefficiency in buying BTC vs other exchanges on: October 17, 2017, 05:05:24 PM
Hi all,

I have a quick question regarding getting the best price for BTC.

My Fiat "on-ramp" is GDAX Europe, where the the price of BTC/EUR seems to be inflated compared to BTC/USD
Currently, the BTC/EUR price is €4797.00 on GDAX. = $5639.03
BTC/USD BitStamp price is $5580.69.
That's a $60 difference per BTC, which is quite substantial (without fees!)

I was thinking that, rather than buying BTC directly from GDAX, I might be better off buying Eth or Litecoin, then exchanging it for BTC on another exchange.
1) Is there any site/utility that already displays these these differences and identifies potential inefficiencies?
2) If not, I'd like to try to make my own, using google sheets. Is this possible by connecting to exchanges and extracting such information?

Thanks,

Rak.

My recommendation is that you save your money. Do not delude yourself into thinking someone has the answer to your questions.
Create an account at a licensed exchange in your country.
Fund it with money you can lose by linking to your bank account.
Keep careful records for tax reasons. Yes you are being watched.

Don't waste your time with faucets or get involved with scams (most any offer here is a scam).

I'm seeking to learn, not look for 'answers.'

I've heard a lot of good words about this certain cryptocurrency YouTuber and trader, High Altitude Investing. He talks alot about market trends, certain altcoins, etc. Check him out. Can't guarantee that his information is good though. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD9j5qyDqQvb9qnLss3vxww/videos
I've checked their site out. They look like they know what they're talking about. Their course is quite expensive though, and I'd just like to get a general overview before spending thousands on training. They YT channel is great though.

Newbie and day trading don't really go together.  Remember to only play with what you can afford to lose.
I appreciate that.
Generally I invest for the long term, but I'd like to add this 'string to my bow' and just learn a bit more.
I won't be putting my house on anything ;-)

That now a lot of training courses, from the simplest to the impossible. Someone to identify is wrong, everyone has his own vision, you have to decide which way to go first.

What I mean by 'someone' is a good, credible teacher who communicate's well. I guess everyone has a style/strategy, but a good teacher will help you find the bestsellers approach for you. Anyway, initially, I'm just looking to learn the basics. There's a chance I might not even like it! Smiley

Hi all,

I'm interested in learning more about day trading, with a specific focus on Crypto currencies, if possible.
I prefer visual learning in the form of lectures, walkthroughs, etc. so ideally I'd like a video course that outlines the fundamentals, key concepts and strategies.
Are there any such courses by reputable teachers/organisations that anyone would recommend?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Rak.
