It’s actually not as big as a dip. The larger one a few years ago was from $1200 down to around $240, we would need to see the price drop to about $4000 for the equivalent.

You spelled forked wrong ;-)

Coinspot.com.au has them. It’s Australian though, but you can send BTC / LTC.

More than doubled my initial deposit since September 17. I’m still skeptical though...

So 100 years away == rapidly approaching now?

I'd never thought about it that way, but you are absolutely right.

The profitability calculators are ok, and mining contracts can be shady.

Money you plan to spend on a mining contract is best just spent directly on coin.

If you do get a contract, use fiat to make the purchase. $X spent on a contract today yielding Y BTC will be worth $Z at a later date, but you will never recover the amount of bitcoin you spend on a contract.

Thanks Bees brothers for a speedy and easy BTC process.

I ordered the large BTC gift box as a birthday present. It is an amazing gift box and very well received.

Everything is packaged with care, and arrived in great shape.

One other thing, I ordered an additional lotion bar, left it in my car in 90F+ degree weather (32+ C) and was happy to see that it didn't melt and get all runny.

Haven't those already been sold at auction?

If you look at the historical price of bitcoin and extrapolate on a log scale (removing the outliers) the floor should be around $1800-$1900.

SegWit BIP148 might force the chart to have to realign a bit, but unless something catastrophic happens to the protocol, it will climb again.

LT;DR: If you bought high, just hold. Same as the last 100 "crashes"

I'm a firm believer in a diverse portfolio. The basics apply. Do your homework, don't invest what you cannot afford to lose. Don't buy and sell based on your emotions.

XRP may be centralized, but so is the USD and we all use that too. Stocks, Bonds, ETF, Metals, centralized and decentralized crypto are part of a complete portfolio.

Pump and dump is real, but to me it's all part of the game. If you see a coin, and you like their purpose, read up on it. Research the developers and the founding members. Does the coin make sense to you? If you don't understand it, maybe look at something else. In the end, they are all only worth what people are willing to pay for them.

Plus, it can never hurt to have a few thousand coin (if you can get them cheap enough) in case they blow up in the next few years.

I've bought etherium from poloniex last week without any issues. I did have a delay getting more XRP though, but it eventually came through.

We all know how "fast" their support is, but have you opened a ticket?

I been thinking much of the same. I expected the post hype slump, and made out daily well. Waiting for the right buy back in time. The thing that's messing with me (still) is the [altcoin vs USD] VS [altcoin bs BTC] ratio. Know of any good charts that track that?

And sorry for the typo - it's https://gatehub.net/ not .com

Oh yes, def .net sorry about that.

Shapeshift.io has a lot of different currencies to trade in and out of without registration. The volume is a bit low, so if you need to convert a lot, you may want to skip it.

Gatehub.com and ShapeShift.io to trade

There was a deadline to migrate your wallet back in January 2016. Check your email, the link may or may not work, but it can't hurt to try.

Gatehub.com is where they are now, so you may want to try reaching out to their support.

Good luck!!

Absolutely nothing at all.

If you are stupid and greedy enough to fall for that, then you deserve it.
