Not sure I grasp the question, but it is cash settled daily, so when it expires, you will already have paid most of the premium, unless already bankrupt

Looking at those limit parameters, I see no reason those can't be set off, ping-pong fashion.  Just for fun :p

Ahh, ... its variable, the "last price" is the price the last contract traded at.
If you look at the link now you can see the Jan 2018 has dropped (currently $19460)

This is a crash:

I had never seen anything like it.  Probably a good thing everything was jammed up and all you could do was watch

I traded it on btce, using gox as a lead. btce always worked flawlessly. It was extremely profitable.

Has anyone used a credit card to deposit to Bitstamp?   Can you get the $5k limit increased?


Please note I am asking for speed of moving fiat not to buy on credit....

Can someone tell me anything about UK tax on withdrawals? I just took out 20k give or take do I need to fill out a self assessment form? The first googling I've read so far is this https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/revenue-and-customs-brief-9-2014-bitcoin-and-other-cryptocurrencies/revenue-and-customs-brief-9-2014-bitcoin-and-other-cryptocurrencies which says it isn't taxed? But it is an older document and I'm sure I've seen people mention it needs to be?

As far as I'm aware the usual capital gains taxes need to be paid.

I'm still waiting on my gox withdrawal. That chart brings back bad memories.

Brings back memories of last week, 4 straight days of whales and bears fighting.

I think you're a noob and you're new it's normal for bitcoin and it's not crash

Want to know something funny? Besides a couple BTC I had bought some time before via localbitcoins, my first bank transfer to Bitstamp delayed more than a week and arrived when the price was already over 200+. I bought anyways. I franctically traded the crash traying to "arbitrage" between bitstamp and mtgox and reduce my average price... without NOT really knowing what I was doing. It was horrible but at the same time somewhat incredibly exciting.

What a horrible day/night I "chose" for my first day in trading Bitcoin lol

After that shit... everything onwards has been a piece of cake

That was the spirit back in the days
