BTC to $45,000 is my goal! I only have 0.44 worth of BTC but if it hits my goal then I might be able to afford a deposit for a house when I finish my final year of uni! (It has 6months to make it lol...) A man can dream!

Why not wait till 1 million

Well at 45k USD is around 20k in pounds which here in the UK is around the cost you need to be able to get yourself started on the property ladder. 1 Mil is def a very very long time away if it ever were to happen whereas at least if I could afford to start at a place of my own it'd be better than living at home after uni (as a current mature 30+ student etc)

How long do you have until you finish Uni?

For those keeping track, this is how long it has taken the cryptocurrency to cross the key psychological levels:

•    $0000 - $1000: 1789 days
•    $1000- $2000: 1271 days
•    $2000- $3000: 23 days
•    $3000- $4000: 62 days
•    $4000- $5000: 61 days
•    $5000- $6000: 8 days
•    $6000- $7000: 13 days
•    $7000- $8000: 14 days
•    $8000- $9000: 9 days
•    $9000-$10000: 2 days
•    $10000-$11000: 1 day
•    $11000-$12000: 6 days
•    $12,000-$13,000: <1 day!

That list is misleading. Some of those are key psichological levels ($1000, $5000, $10000) and some other are just (almost) irrelevant growth.

Of course going from $12.000 to $13.000 in a single day is normal when it is less than a 10% increase.

Will they keep calling it "key psichological level" when it raises from $46.000 to $47.000?

13000. already? this is madness

There’s more than one day trader lying sobbing in a ditch right now

I'll be finishing around May. 1 more week left till break up for the new year then back to it until then.

What a bunch of clowns

JPMorgan Switches Tact, Backs Bitcoin as New Gold
After Jamie Dimon drew a line in the sand for JPMorgan, calling it a ‘fraud,’ the company has once again stepped over that line, praising the digital coin as a ‘new gold.’ Analysts at JPMorgan believe that Bitcoin has changed its shape and that it could soon be joining gold as a reliable, long-term way to store wealth. Recent growth and recent changes have seen Bitcoin lean more towards being digital gold, and this is where JPMorgan see its value.

[RejectedBanana]

How long have you been waiting? Are your coins onsite or will they accept offsite wallet proof?

Waiting over a week now. I wouldn't dare move that volume of coin onto an exchange, in one go. Oh well.

Thought about sending them an email to the effect of "Dudes. You are seriously harshing my retirement plans. What more can I do, in addition to the colonoscopies you have performed on me already, to get verified for that level. If $6M is too much, can I do $3M if it's easier ? Please. Take my money."

EDIT: I think I'll just sign up for Genesis. They look to be the more professional, "big league" site. $25k minimum to play ? No fucking problem.

Not to pop your bubble, but my modest $100,000 increase took three months. After several customer service requests.  

Anyone know offhand how Genesis Gemini withdrawal limitations compare?

Let’s wait until May and talk about it again then.  It’s important you set time based goals, not price based goals when dealing with an asset growing at exponential speed.

Pump is far too feverish and managed looking. Only pumpers benefit from a pump like this. Somebody is pursuing an agenda.

I'm increasingly convinced that this is what's going on:

[ ]

I don't care how "experienced" the day traders are and how comfortable they play in the futures world...  When they go walking up to the honey badger and stick their hands out to play - it's going to be ugly for the traders.

Honey badgers will snap your fingers off without a warning.   Honey badger does not care.


The futures traders will go down hard if they bet against Bitcoin

[ssmc2]

Is this the start of the super-exponential phase?

[strawbs]

I'm guessing a few folk here use GDAX - I haven't used it before but thinking about it.  Are there any issues I should know about? Specifically, I'm wondering about any issues withdrawing BTC, withdrawing $USD, and whether they do SEPA transfers?  I haven't used an exchange based in USA before (I'm in UK) and would prefer the opinions of this community before going ahead. Thanks y'all.

[CristiTCM]

Is this the start of the super-exponential phase?

no. i think is just a normal FOMO pump

expecting a doubling action after the 11th

could well see 30000 with another double after that to about 70000

then KABOOM!!!

Going to be very interesting to watch the futures price setting on Monday.  Talk about a stab in the dark.

If you are asking about Gemini, they have unlimited withdrawal via bank wire to your approved bank account.  You must complete the KYC requirements and such.  ACH deposits and withdrawls are also available but limited.

I suppose you are going to do it in like $1m "packs" a time and wait until you have the money in your bank account before going on or something similar, dont you?

About the "colonoscopies"... what sort of documents do they force you to provide?

Maybe all that knowledge from your experience as a "big league" could be handy for other people in the future if Bitcoin keeps growing at this crazy rate

I was just checking out the chart for the Dot com bubble.

The market actually only went up from about 800 to 5000 before falling back to just over 1000.
So it made me wonder, has there been a major market that has risen 10x+ over a year or less and has held its gains i.e. not fallen back near to the start price.

Tulips and the Dot com bubbles are well known, but there must be cases of exploding markets that stayed high. I am looking for a good Bitcoin-esque example to reply to the haters (my brain included!)

[BitcoinNewsMagazine]

The next Fibonacci extension is $18282. I talked previously about why this was an important resistance level. After that there is the psychological barrier at $20K then the higher Fib extension at $29490. This is getting into serious bubble territory. When there is a crash it will be something to see.

Nothing anything I am aware of. You should just be 100% sure that you are fully verified. GDAX also tends to freeze an account from time to time if a larger withdrawal happens AND you should know that GDAX is currently handing out information about US citizens (not sure if all nations), which traded more than $10-15k?!
Why not using bitstamp instead ? Some features but based in UK
