**Sigh**

When is bitcoin to get an adrenaline shot in the arm? I was told I'd be rich by now before I invested
Seriously though the halving isn't too far away now & there doesn't seem to be any hint the price will change dramatically.

Disappointed.

Anyone else notice the new spam attack with low tx but high inputs to fill the blocks?

have been around for a while. paying 0.03~ per transaction (usually 99kb). if half of those tx is from one entity then they're losing more than 5BTC per day.


meanwhile. we're going down, down, down, down...

Better if you weak hands just leave , rather than keep whining . I expect many more attacks ahead the more bitcoin grows.
Bitcoin is being hardened in a very hostile environment where all the other alts are sand castles.

I think it's still too early.
In 2012 for instance price decreased from 16 down to 9 during august to end of october on Bitstamp.
And only in the last 4 weeks before halving (november 28th) the price started to increase again.And the real upwards movement happened a few months after that.
So I don't see any reason why should be disappointed now at this moment.

I'm fairly optimistic that at some point we are going to get at least 1 or 2 or possibly more 10x bubbles in bitcoin; however, in the meantime, we should protect our BTC portfolios.. for the possibility that it could take a few more years.  NO?

i asked coinbase for an increase of money i can keep on their exchange and was denied.. i have a real hard time understanding that because it is my money on their exchange, not theirs. they are taking ZERO risk. i basically feel like i have been discriminated against by coinbase. anyone else have problems getting an increase for funds they can have on coinbase exchange ?? they didnt even bother to give an explanation. i sent them an email back and told them i felt they are discriminating against me.. they have yet to respond.

What's the limit?  What's their rule?

And what's your basis of discrimination claim?  Have they made exceptions for others?

lmao, sorry your bitcoin hero coinbase does not give a crap about you.

for all the fork whining you provide them, your discriminated tears are even more tasteful.

10,000 is their limit. i have no idea their rules or anything. i didnt say i claimed it, i said i felt that way.

i don't care whether they like it that i refuse to kiss their ass or not. i have my reasons for my stance and that stance is not going to change just cuz coinbase doesnt like it.. if i am treated badly i am going to return the favor every single time .

being bearish doesnt mean your a weak hand.. sometimes a bear just wants to accumulate.

I've never sold any of my stash since I became involved in bitcoin & don't intend to atm. I'm a long term HODLER, my confidence & hope in bitcoin has taking a bit of a bashing lately though.

I hope for better times.

If they have a rule ($10k limit - which I agree seems kind of low), but they do not allow any exception for you to go beyond it, then how could you feel discriminated against, unless you have information that they make exceptions for others.  Either something is missing here or you are over sensitive in wanting your way when they have a rule.  Yes, it seems that you wanted them to explain the reason for their rule, but maybe they sufficiently did and you want moar than they are willing to provide....  The way you are describing this doesn't mean that you were discriminated against, but that you are merely overly sensitive.

I was thinking of keeping some money there to scoop up dips like today.  If they have low limits then doesn't make sense to me.

If you are getting so emotionally upset about the market movement, then that seems to be a sign that you are over invested... accordingly, you can sell a little to make yourself feel better.


My portfolio is still in the red.  My current average cost is around $472....   In October 2015, my average cost per BTC were around $501, and I divided my BTC stash into three portions in order to justify selling portions of it, and to prepare for price movements in the market in both directions.  The division of my portfolio was more or less as follows:

1) portions I acquired above $600
2) portions that I acquired between $300 and $600
3) portions that I acquired under $300


Accordingly, I began trading the portion under $300, and thereafter some of the portion acquired between $300 and $600.

I sell in very small quantities, and I have never traded more than 1% of my BTC stash in any trade nor more than 10% accumulated trades, and the BTC portfolio situation feels a lot better than holding all of it and only accumulating (which had been the totality of my previous strategy for nearly 2 years).  Further, I feel a lot less stressed when the market goes down or fails to go up.  Currently, in my BTC trading portfolio, I have about 95.7% in BTC and 4.3% in cash.  It's great because I am prepared for the price to go down and just spread out the buys in order to never run out of buying money...  largely without investing any more fiat than I already had invested by October 2015.

In essence, I have stacked a pretty good amount of fiat in preparation for falling prices, and I have also increased my BTC holdings by a little more than 3%... .that is even accounting for one trade that I made on LocalBitcoins in which the fucker reversed the fiat payment (through Venmo), so in essence I lost nearly 1% of my BTC holdings over the deal....

Anyhow, you can have vehicles in place in order to sell small amounts of your BTC holdings as the price goes up... while still preserving a large percentage of your total holdings and not getting too emotionally invested in whether the price is stagnant or even bearish.. so long as in the long run (several years down the road) the price continues to go up (which currently seems to be a reasonable presumption).
