Absolutely not. I don't trust exchanges with such a bad reputation.
Speaking of reputation, You an account farmer?
Your posts are all one line or less replies with zero substance. For you we reserve Bitfinex's tether and Bitmex's 100x leverage shorts.  Roll Eyes

Another good morning! I see the western hemisphere has tied another one on while we slept. Good work!

Tet is 9 days away, this party has just begun its planning stages.  There will be full trains, buses, highways, rockets for the next 3 weeks round here. Hope you boys can keep up.  Wink

Bitstamp is often referred to here as a trustworthy exchange and they are one of the longest running exchanges around today. What makes them so reputable is that they do not offer leverage, uptime is very consistant and support is top class.  Most exchanges support API keys which is how you'd set up DCA buys. You may want to post in technical support to learn how to do this.
For Canadians, I really like Bullbitcoin they offer DCA and it's a non-custodial exchange for Bitcoin only.  Highly recommended but you must be Canadian.
There are indeed plenty of reputable exchanges to choose from and regardless of which exchange you decide to use consider these Pro tips, unless you're a experienced trader, try to avoid the urge to trade and do not keep any more value on the exchange than you're prepared to lose. Bitcoin or fiat.
Happy DCA'ing and congratulations on your journey into monetary freedom.

Wow, insane numbers! Thats like 3.33 billion per day to prop up markets while very few understand or care.  This ends poorly.
Run for the exit while its still possible. BTC
Not sustainable, in the long run.

Not sustainable at all. It's like a drug for them; they use it once and just can't stop after that
This 'free' money (sometimes referred to as helicopter money) is manufacturing consent to continue the deep dive into debt from basically anyone who has an investment in anything.  Their greed may result in economic enslavement for generations. The collapse of the US dollar and abandonment of it as world reserve currency is imminent, no?

Peter Schiff finally says something relevant.
Quote
The actual national debt grew by over $1.2 trillion in 2019. That's just over $100 billion per month. The rise in 2020 will be even greater. If we really had a good economy, the deficits would be getting smaller, not larger.

Bitcoin looking like it caught a bid. Now at 8,245

I am so bullish and bearish right now. Perhaps the first time feeling quite balanced.  Now, I'm ready for it to prove me wrong.

Merited for the links.  Kinda difficult to get good quality SD cards where I am currently and I think poor quality sandisk sd card is the issue I've been having.  
Still going to give this project another whirl after the Tet new year.
353  Economy / Exchanges / Exchanges which do not charge a withdraw fee? on: January 09, 2020, 05:19:16 AM
I'd like to make a list of exchanges which do not charge to a fee to withdraw Bitcoin. My preferred exchange (Bitstamp) now charges .0005 BTC for withdraws and although its not a lot, its far more than the transaction cost alone and I simply do not like the business model it supports as it encourages people to keep Bitcoin on the exchange instead of holding it in one's own wallet.

Please share the exchanges that currently do not charge withdraw fees and we can update as things change.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1445661.msg15004768#msg15004768

I made a similar prediction 4 years ago. I realize $6k is a bold statement, but I think we are smooth sailing higher from here on out for the next 1.5-2 years.  Target peak bitcoin price at climax of new bull run is $200k-400k.

There’s just too small of a supply of bitcoin with such an increasing amount of money and interest flooding into the sector for bitcoin to stay where it is. I think the price bottomed at $3500 and we are now on our way back up.  It will be a slow grind up, but I would say in about 9-12 months that’s when the gut wrenching roller coaster will really begin.

When we have seen it all along, the masses are just beginning to see why bitcoin is so valuable, because it’s scarcity and because it does not have the liability of being attached to any government. It takes a while for the world to wake up to a new paradigm, but this is an idea that can’t be stopped.  Basically as fiat currency keeps getting printed at ever increasing speed, you can count on bad money(fiat) chasing after good money(bitcoin).

So, while other cryptos may do better % wise, bitcoin will maintain market dominance because it has the market momentum and is basically the eponym of cryptocurrency.  Because a lot of noobs coming into the market view bitcoin and crypto as the same thing, most will buy bitcoin. Or, if they are a slightly more sophisticated investor and they choose to diversify into other coins, a majority of their portfolio will be bitcoin, because it is considered to the average person as the safest choice due to it being around the longest.

I admit my prediction is basically a hunch, based on mostly fundamentals and looking at what the price has done historically around the time of the halvenings.  I have been around for a bit so I feel like I have a good pulse on the market. Just my 2 cents.

I would like this post to stay up so I can look back at it fondly from time to time after I’m proven to be right. 



Thanks for starting a new thread and posting your views and the links to your previous predictions. I had thought you deleted my comment until I discovered that the entire thread was deleted for lack of OP content.  Fair enough.
I also believe 6k will not be broken again however if it does, I'll be throwing everything I can at it like last time at 3k's.
The previous support base at 6.4K will act as major support now and anything that gets close will be bought immediately.

Personally, I think anything below 10K is a bargain. I think of 8k as a 20% discount. 
Soon It will naturally make sense (psychologically and mathematically) to view .01 bitcoin as $100, in fact most of us probably already do.
355  Economy / Economics / Re: How many bitcoiners on here have actually used bitcoin/crypto for commerce? on: January 09, 2020, 01:13:23 AM
Sure, I shop online with Bitcoin regularly. Purse.io gives great discounts on anything from Amazon I would have bought anyhow.  I've still yet to incorporate it into my business dealings. Something of a credibility issue at the moment that I'm not prepared to deal with. Later, I suspect it will be commonplace and much easier and more acceptable to incorporate. However, I'm about to explore internal payments via BTC in my business as a replacement to more expensive centralized solutions.
Bitcoin still needs massive education in the retail space and significant discounts are only partially working at the moment.
Volatile prices are what scares retail away right now.  Personally, I'm not convinced that Bitcoin will end up as a currency or that it needs to.
356  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin & Centralization on: January 08, 2020, 03:54:14 AM
While most people tend to market bitcoin as being anti centralization, anti govt. so on and so forth, it occurred to me that it might just be centralized too. Seemingly we still have whales out there hoarding not just 1 5 or 10 bitcoins and its many many forks mind you (free Extra money) but with thousands upon thousands of bitcoins. So in all of this it's kind of a scary dilemma. What are you thoughts and comments on this seemingly true fact? Thoughts and comments are more than welcome.
What are you saying, that if someone has a certain amount of BTC it becomes centralized? What exactly do you mean by centralized here?  Sure, there's a number of persons out there that have large holdings, so what. This is a free market and the most fairly distributed crypto. Satoshi himself is thought to hold nearly 1 million coins.  Tim Draper has 30,000 plus coins, and someone else may only have .04, none of those facts centralize Bitcoin. Someone may only have more power to move the market than another but this is still distribution.
Another note, Bitcoin is not anti government. In fact, we need governance as a society and always have. The problem is when the governments no longer represent the peoples interests. Power centralizes and bad shit happens. Look at the USA right now.  They can even go to war with countries that have no intentions of fighting at all and because they print the money, they can do what they want. This is centralization, not Bitcoin. 
357  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Discussions about ‘Iran buying Bitcoin’ are no longer valid on: January 08, 2020, 02:02:47 AM
Bitcoin price surged with the assassination of Qassem Soleimani several days ago and another surge again today after 10 rockets hit airbase in Iraq where US troops are based.
War is escalating between US and Iran, this could be the reason for the price jumps. 
358  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Hash Rate Continue to Surge! on: January 08, 2020, 01:48:10 AM
I believe the larger mining farms are retiring some of the older Antminers and replacing them with much more powerful S17's
This will take some time and likely we'll continue to see increased hash as they come online.

My dog along with many others went missing on independence day in April last year, went to all the restaurants, never saw him again.  Angry  Still love the freedom this country affords expats although some things are seriously disturbing seen through a westerners lens.
