Or buy back higher as the price keeps soaring
This could easily run away from someone trying to outsmart it. Maybe it will dip lower, but it's a risky move when there's basically zilch resistance. |

Yep. To date I have had a policy: I would never buy a bitcoin with dollars, only as payment for the results of my work.
Yes, kind of Rand-ish and stupid but there it is. Odd.
I've earned a ton in BTC. Just look for BTC gigs. Sure, same here (well not a ton, more like a tuna) fixing bitcoin and litecoin miners. Gotten pretty good at it too. I do convert bitcoin to cash to pay my taxes and expenses, but never the other way.... |

There are always dips, big & small. Besides, as I always say, life is for living, not just HODLing. |

I'm sure there is a better spot for this question, but this is really the only thread (because it's the best) that I follow.
Can anyone recommend better exchange options for someone based in the U.S. than Coinbase as it relates to fees?
They are charging $200 to buy and $200 to sell a full BTC right now. Is that normal? 4% vigorish seems awful high.

I wish I could FOMO in a bit, but I am so fiat broke it's laughable. Should be a good story down the line, but hopefully not too far down the line!!
No brakes. Let's go to uncharted waters where the sea and the sky are indistinguishable, and the moon is within reach of my salty palm!

Why aren't you using GDAX? Same owners as Coinbase and presumably a Coinbase account holder can drop right in. Fees'll probably be about 0.25% Gemini is another option. |

looking back at the last 10 days we can clearly see the bubble popping and the first good attempt at catching the resulting knife.  you can see that when the bubble popped at ~266$ their was a big dip in price without much volume ( everyone let the knife fall ) but now at 80-50$ rang we are seeing HUGE volume spikes when their is any kind of movement up or down. I think if we are not already at bottom, its not too far down...   weee!! #free_beer |

Whilst Bitcoin is doing great, a quick shout-out to our buddies over at Litecoin which is also having an excellent time. Well done guys!
(Personally I don't own any altcoins, but I do respect these guys for their efforts)

there are no races ffs. there are racists like you, though.
There actually are races, between something like 20-50 races. But its not about the color of the skin as you may think, but features. And the color of the skin is mostly about geography and exposure to the Sun for multiple generations. (millennia maybe) Jeez. People get so fkd up these days by the political correctness. Follow this story: There's a thing called human dna. It gets continually randomized. Humans spread out into all kinds of ecological niches. Some mutations are handy in some niches; others are bad (and tend to die off). So each niche creates a cluster of certain dna strings with higher/lower probability than other niches. These clusters can grow to be so different that speciation occurs where interbreeding no longer works. The ones you're talking about ('races' by definition) have enough differences to be noticeable, measureable, significant depending on people's definition of race. The differences include obvious stuff like skin color (yes, it's in the dna) as well as IQ and many other differences not so obvious. Not so hard is it? Saying there are no races just means you have a new definition of the word 'race'. That kind of language change marks the politically correct. |
