Hey JJG, in times like these you need to think about social distancing. This is how a proper bitch slap should look like

Anybody ordered (& received) Binance's VISA card? Could be a great replacement for a Coinbase debit card?

Meanwhile: we're over $18k again!

No, but thank you for the tip. Good to know when/if my current btc debit card fails to work.

I've used a numerous of bitcoin debit cards over the years. The first one was the ANX card back in 2014. I also used the Xapo card back then, but they both failed to work after WaveCrest suspended their services. After that, I've used card such as Revolut and TransferWise, but I stopped using them after they blocked SEPA transfers to/from Kraken. Right now I'm using Wirex.

I used Wirex too and it was awful. Their card had lots of downtime. Finally they blocked my account without mentioning the reason.

Thanks, that's good to know. I haven't experienced any downtime yet. But hey, what do I know. Maybe they will block me too soon.

For European residents, I can vouch for Kraken. Been with them since 2015. No issues. Deposits and withdrawals have gone through (although withdrawals were for very small amounts—don't know what will happen if I request to withdraw a lot).

There was a time (around 2016-2017 IIRC) when their servers were slower than a CASIO calculator, which actually protected me from selling some corn by failing to execute a string of sell orders. My current stash would have been much smaller, had those orders gone through—thanks Kraken! Now their servers seem to work OK. My latest purchase of 1 BTC for $8000 in 2020 went through instantly. And I'm so glad it did!

For Europeans,
The tentacles of Kraken,
Work kind of OK.

Awesome cup! Enjoy your breakfast, looks great.

Bitcoin should follow this chart.

I used to have bear dreams too, but unfortunately those stink bids never got filled.

Plan for both scenario's (up and down). A good trader never has conviction, only a good pair of eyes.

I agree. I have also been a customer since 2015. I have made monthly withdrawals since late 2016. Never had a problem.

Thanks for the reply. My Kraken withdrawals have been minimal—only a few times for a few hundred € each time. Everything went smoothly, no questions asked.

If it's not too much trouble for you, what are the approximate amounts of your monthly Kraken withdrawals? Hundreds? Thousands? Did you have any issues with your bank (i.e., being asked "where do these monthly deposits come from?" and having to explain about your crypto, etc.)?

I don't think answering the above poses any OPSEC issues, but if uncomfortable, please ignore this post. Thanks!

The amounts I have withdrawn monthly is between €1000-2000. No big sums, but they have never failed me. I've had some problems though, but it has never been problems on the Kraken side (like when when Revolut/TransferWise blocked transfers from/to Kraken).

Edit: Forgot to answer the question if I had any problems with my bank. No, I never had a problem. They never asked me any questions.

Just to add that I have been happy with Kraken too.
I made a few medium sized withdrawals of around 30,000 euros (used to pay off mortgage) no questions asked and no problems either.
Would deffo recommend.

Excellent. Thanks for the valuable info. These are the monthly amounts I'm planning to withdraw in the near future too, so it's good to know that almost everything went smoothly for you. It's the banks I'm more worried about, not Kraken. There's always the ATM option too, albeit with a higher premium—a small price to pay for complete anonymity (until they start forcing us to KYC there too).

The funny (sad, actually) thing is that most of us have not done anything wrong, we're not criminals, and yet we are often treated as such, until proven otherwise...

Edit:

@machasm: thanks for your reply, too.
@psycodad: and yours, too.

Happy Kraken user here too. Withdraws and deposits always worked just fine (no real big amounts but sizeable). KYC was smooth and quick.
Except as you mention the CASIO calculator times in 2017, though given enough patience I was always able to place my orders (after 3-100 failed attempts  ).

18500 is looming. if we could close today above 18500 that would be awesome...  

edit: that would be a green weekly candle indeed. a +3k Darth Maul candle just below old ath must have rect so many day- and swing traders.

Yes this is a pleasant surprise.  Surprises to the upside are always welcome.  If the weekly closes green, wow.

Would you look at that. I just ranked up as a Full Member. You all know what that means, I'm eligible for a hat. @xhomerx10, what's up?

He really do his best, with an outstanding result! 

Thanks again @xhomerx10

That was a short dip, way shorter than I expected in any case.

Considering to buy a car soon as an investment, to keep on the side for the next years. The way things are looking now, it might be possible that I'll be buying it completely with BTC profits.

I have been hodling for 3 years and never-ever cashed. The idea of being able to buy a car with crypto hodlings makes my head spin.

Mind you, we're talking about 1/25th of a Lambo's price, so don't expect jumbo jet prices, but hey, I think it's spectacular anyway.
