An extremely early good morning Bitcoinland.

Still sideways... currently $6501USD/$8515CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Nothing new.

Sitting in the airport waiting for my plane. Maybe a few weeks in 30C+ weather will help me shake this cold I've been fighting for the last week or so. Looking forward to 16 lovely new dental implants.

Thank you Bitcoin.

Well thanks a bunch Jimbo. Now I have to move all my stops.
Oh and good luck and all that.

Can anyone solve this Bitmex mystery for me: I longed at 6455,5 and market closed my position at 6471. Now as far as calculations go, market orders with 0,075% fee mean I only had to cover a spread of minimum 10 dollars. And yet I made a loss? This is the first time it has happened to me, every other time I did the exact same thing I would always cover my fees when exiting at 10+ dollars.



And before you say settlement fee: It was perpetual xtb/usd

Fact 101

"I think the Internet is gonna be one of the major forces to reduce the role of government.
The one thing that's missing but that will soon be developed, is a reliable e-cash."

Quote from 1999 made by Professor Milton Friedman, a Nobel Prize winner in economics.

Quite. Longs pay shorts or the other way round.
Way outta my depth here. Someone will see it for you...

My plan was to sell half at 100K and let the rest ride. Do you have a sell target for your long-term stash?

Nice round number. But it might be prudent to choose a number that's not too round. To beat the crowd, you know... I bet lots of people think selling the day we hit 100K.

Before JJG comes back I will state the obvious: It's better to go selling in a laddered manner, ie: Beginning in small quantities from ie. below $50K all the way up.. maybe even rebuying some at the customary dips on the road.

Would be a shame if price stopped short of $99K before the next bear market without having sold shit.

But I guess infofront already knows that and was just setting some theoretical milestone for being half fiat half Bitcoin.

I am mostly sure it will take more than one bull run and subsequent bear markets to reach $100K. So better prepare for that too.

I agree with you both. In the last bull run, I just sat back and HEDL. In the next one, I'll try laddered sells when we go parabolic. If I end up with less than my target amount, I'd try to buy on the way down and increase my stash.

I wonder if people will use their mobile wallets to pay for this...

Using that thing they have in their pocket all the time...

That displays the time...

It's the current BCH implementation (Bitcoin ABC) , opposite to SV. They're the next two chains coming with the hard fork.

I don’t have anything against JJG at all, he’s pro bitcoin & to me that makes him alright. I just can not read through his walls of text at times.

His grave head stone will say -

Here lies JJG

The watch for people with more money than sense. Even lambos are not that wasteful.
