Alright guys after some long debates I have decided to hard fork the new to investing thread and create the Cryptocurrency Master Thread.  This thread is for all things crypto, from investing to R&D to interesting articles about it's direction.

I have included some posts from the legacy chain ITT, but you can always go back and read the stalled new to investing thread.  This thread is for all cryptos, I mainly follow the 3 big ones((https://bitcoin.org/img/icons/opengraph.png), (https://www.ethereum.org/images/logos/ETHEREUM-ICON_Black.png), (https://litecoin.org/img/litecoin.svg)) but all are welcome here.

There are several exchanges you can use, or just use the wallet for that particular chain. 

Coinbase (GDAX is owned by Coinbase and is their professional trading platform)
Poloniex
Kraken
Bittrex
Bitfinex

Also Litecoin is also a hot buy right now.  I don't know much about it but I just bought some :excited:

This is a cool site if you want to see trends and do your own analysis

The Russian government has done a 180 on their views about cryptos and blockchain in general.  That helps all the different coins out there(including whoppercoin).

I'm fascinated by where all this money is coming from that's pouring into the crypto market so I got to thinking and looking into things.

The entire market cap for all of the publicly traded gold stocks in the U.S. is around $131 billion, with silver around $10 billion. The cryptocurrency market is now valued at $160 billion, with it being only $12 billion this time last year.

Neat.

So we have had these enormous pumps for LTC the past 10 days or so but what is causing them?  I realized I hadn't explained that much.  So one thing is the chain mining switching that has been going on with BCH which has driven people to hedge with LTC.  That partly drove the initial pump.

The real factors are that LN implementations are improving, which I have posted links/tweets about.  Basically we are getting close to have LN implemented for off chain transactions which helps with LTC scalability.  This makes the network faster and offloads transactions off chain.  This allows the main blockchain to do the heavy lifting.  LN is a layer 2/3 protocol built on top of the main LTC blockchain.  It also enables the ability to perform cross chain atomic swaps.  Which allow for instance conversion between blockchains.  So I can convert 10 LTC to the equivalent BTC instantly.  This happens off chain and is confirmed as a part of the blockchain.

Another development that will pump the price even more is MAST.  This Reddit thread does a good job explaining it. 

https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/6ny67k/a_noobs_quick_guide_to_mast/?st=J722ULCL&sh=39f1ecf9

Title: Cryptocurrency Master Thread
Post by: The Big Train on September 01, 2017, 02:56:41 PM
Depends how the orders are set to execute.  Need to execute market orders to full those open limit orders.  It just inhibits upward movement when there are that many.  Same thing keeps the price from dipping below a certain price point with open buy orders.

Between 2-2:15 it got up to $98.28 and hit some market sell orders and fell to $88.5 in about a minute.  There were enough buy orders that it jumped back to $93 almost instantly.  We will make it to $100 but those are just slowing down the inevitable.

Smart money sold at above $95 with the meteoric rise, and immediately set limit buy orders at ~$86-88.

I really thought about it but, I didn't want to impede the pump.

It's in a down swing again after some profit taking.  I have done it once, but the panic sell is not the way to go.  Either set a stop loss or don't even get in.

Long term growth.  Just way higher than I would have thought by Sept 1.

Post by: The Big Train on September 01, 2017, 10:54:19 PM
BTW guys, hopefully it's been obvious, but if not, use GDAX if you're actively trading.  If you are just wanting simplicity then use the Coinbase website or app.  There are fees for buys and sells with just the Coinbase app, which covers the convenience. 

Transfers(crypto, and already confirmed USD account balances) are instant and free between Coinbase and GDAX and vice versa.

So, if you are wanting to actively trade or avoid fees, GDAX.

Title: Re: Cryptocurrency Master Thread
Post by: The Big Train on September 03, 2017, 11:25:37 PM
If you have been redirected here from the movie thread this is the rest of the post.  If not, then this was a reaction to the documentary 'Banking on Bitcoin' which is on Netflix right now that I just finished.  This could also be a cross post with the pit thread self-consciousness.

There are few things that you cross in life that immediately grab and hold your attention.  Some have that more than others, and the subjects are different for everyone.  Blockchain technology and Bitcoin(all cryptos) are one of those topics for me.  I had heard about Bitcoin in the past, but the mindset and my priorities were in a different place.  I have stated this on several occasions but Blockchain technology will change the world.  I watched some Bitcoin core announcement stuff also tonight, but I just finished the doc 'Banking on Bitcoin'.  Probably the most interesting and inspiring doc I have ever watched.

Some would say(maybe rightfully so) that I have pretty much become obsessed with crypto currencies.  I mean I started a thread about it and jokingly used crypto terms describing I hard forked a thread.  Crazy right?  Actually probably not, I just see the potential more than others.  What I already knew before the two crypto things I watched tonight were, that Bitcoin and others are becoming more and more mainstream, and that MANY others have caught the same interest and desire to learn more about cryptos.  This interest or obsession is not isolated, it's spreading, just like the networks that support these currencies. 

This doc had many interviews and was going through timelines of when things happened.  The time frame when most of this very early development and expansion was going on was during a very unstable part of my life.  If I had the money or resources back then that I do now, and actually knew about it, I would be a very well off person.  However that is not the case and I can't beat myself up over that fact.  Maybe it was for the best, and maybe not, certainly it was a great time for a lot of the early investors and Silk Road people.  Good thing I wasn't into drugs or this could have ended me.

I have talked almost exclusively in these threads about monetary gain, which does have its place, sure.  I wouldn't have interested as many people to invest in LTC as I have, and those people wouldn't have made any money either.  The real value(outside of straight cash homie) is that of freedom to send and receive yours and other peoples money without a 3rd party controlling it.  We are a long way from mass adoption, but think about the entire world using something like BTC or LTC.  You can travel across any border in the world and have an accepted currency.  There is no central bank issuing or denying that your currency has any value or is acceptable.  The argument can be made that you have to have internet connection to accept something like BTC or LTC.  That is a valid point, however, all of the worlds used phones are going to third world countries, which are getting internet access.  Application layers like Lightning Network(LN) allow for off chain transactions, which apply SPV(Simple Payment Verifications) which don't require having a node with the full blockchain to confirm the transaction.  This enables scale ability and expansion that is currently not possible.

I may talk more about BTC and LTC to my IRL friends than I probably should.  I also probably bring up the fact I told them to invest in them when they were still cheap when they didn't.  I also may have some friends that when I bring this up say that I was too vague and question how they can even buy something like this.  However I know what I know, and that is that this isn't just some fad.  This isn't just some geeks creating fake wealth.  This isn't just a speculative market and dream that will never go mainstream.  This is something real, this is something that will change the world, this is something that will become mainstream.  When it does go mainstream nobody will care what the code looks like or what the backend does, just like nobody cares how HTTPS and TCP/IP works.  For the ones that do know tho, and the ones who build it, this is a game changer.

I watched a bitcoin doc and had a reaction.

I moved all my LTC to LoafWallet and my BTC to breadwallet.  Technically they are both paper wallets but they use SPV to send and receive so that are essentially hardware wallets.  They are secure and I didn't feel like waiting forever to get a Trezor and pay that much.  Luckily I sold all my ETH like two days ago when it was in the low $360's because of the recent downtrend, so I didn't need to get another wallet for those.

This is not true.  They banned ICO(initial coin offering)'s which are fake wanna be cryptos used for fundraising.  Long term this will be good for BTC and LTC because that cash flow can go into them instead of fake cryptos.

This is why Bitcoin and Litecoin will more than likely outlast the rest.  These types of vulnerabilities will hinder the weak cryptos and drive people to the foundational ones.   There is something to be said for time tested solutions.

so if eth drops under $300 again I should probably buy in bulk huh

So here's the thing with ETH right now.  China banned all ICO's which were almost all built on the Ethereum network.  The Ethereum blockchain has grown 33% since July to ~300 GB.  Canada however is welcoming ICO's and the US still does.  The SEC is looking really hard at ICO's because they are basically stocks, there's really nothing else they could be classified as.  It's a way to bypass the VC's and the IRS right now. 

I'm very cautious of ETH right now which is partly why I sold what I had and bought more LTC with it.  It could make you a millionaire tho so idk why you wouldn't.

Like even if I sold my core position right now(which is very large) I would still get a great great return.  However this is frustrating, rough ridin' fake news from a government is affecting a world wide decentralized currency.  China and South Korea are the biggest players, with China having ~70% of the hash power.

Decentralized world currency shouldn't be affected this much by one rough ridin' article that the government is shutting down exchanges.  That completely defeats the purpose of a decentralized currency.  Maybe the lesson learned is because exchanges are centralized they have a larger than consequenced effect on the market. 

I get it, a massive majority of the worlds current crypto user are effected.  However this is why you don't rough ridin' centralize mining to begin with.  Sure, this was inevitable with the cheap electricity and equipment, but man it hinders expansion.

Are you just using CoinBase or an order book exchange?  Usually the best times to get the super low prices are the very early hours.  I place buys at low numbers and hope to catch the short deep dips.

Now rumors are China will shut down the exchanges and create their own.  This would nationalize them and they would have more control.  What this does to the price I have no idea, I think bullish.  It invites even more big players to the market IMO.

So here's the deal.  China has banned Bitcoin before, yes, the crypto itself.  This isn't a ban of crypto, just the exchanges themselves.  They never existed early on, they have evolved to facilitate easier trade.  Merchants in China can still accept crypto.

This is like the 5/6 "bubble" that has happened.  What this represents is a buying opportunity.  It's the discount rack where what you are buying will come into style in the future.  This isn't new.

I have said it before and I'll say it again, if you aren't willing to risk it all, don't invest in this market. 

LiteCoin is up STILL over 1500%, so this isn't something to be worried about.  Sure I didn't venture beyond BTC and mostly ETH before, but that doesn't mean I am bailing now. 

Go Cats.

Also there has been a very accurate contributor that has said BTC will drop back into the below 2500 range, and that it was coming soon. They had been right about many other rises and falls, however, unless inside trading this is inside trading.

Since this market isn't regulated, insider trading is legal, people(and probably China's gov) making millions(possibly billions in the future).

China has already banned cryptos altogether once.  There's no way to enforce it.  More regulation will help long term.

Any weird looking charts out there right now TBT? Things seem to be settling in.

Not that I've seen.  There was an organic growth chart I saw earlier that a good amount of people were buying again.  You have to look at historic support levels tho too.  This tweet talks about Bitcoin and is a follow up to one I posted earlier.

https://twitter.com/tuurdemeester/status/908385322526011392

What made me buy back in to LTC again at ~$47(other than Charlie's comment) was its support here.  Before 2 weeks ago when it skyrocketed it had been in the ~$44-$48 range for like a month and a half.  That's really strong support, and with a 50% drop the last 2 weeks back to these levels it's a pretty safe bet it doesn't go below.  All the people selling are more than likely out of the market again and the panic sellers with this China thing are out.  If it continues to drop it's going low low, like $20's.  I don't see that happening.

All 3 markets have moved in unison through this whole thing. Right after 6:30 AM look at those flash moon and flash crashes on the 1 minute candles. Those were monster rough ridin' buys/sells.  LTC jumped almost $10 in under a minute. That's gotta be a multi-million order by a whale or a state entity. The whole China thing is no mistake.

Hmm, idk why it's trying to access a camera, never had that.  Yeah if you want to avoid fees use GDAX.  They use a maker-taker order structure.  They have some help guides on the fee structures but if you place limit maker orders and make sure the post only option is set you can trade fee free.  Market orders are considered taker orders but are still charged less fees than just using CoinBase.

Post by: The Big Train on September 20, 2017, 08:34:13 PM
The hash rate for LTC should be in direct correlation to the BTC hash rate.  For those not familiar when Charlie forked BTC and created LTC he changed the mining algorithm so as not to compete with BTC.  The idea was to allow miners to mine both BTC and LTC simultaneously and not one or the other, which is the case with Bitcoin Cash right now and why/how so much hash power can alternate between the two.

It's owned by CoinBase and just has BTC, ETH, and LTC just like the CoinBase app.  They have said they may add more in the future but they are only going to add coins they see as being around for the long haul.  You can use other exchanges or these two sites if you want to get other coins.

Since Coinbase is still a private company (it's not trading on the stock market), you will only be able to invest via the secondary market. While the secondary market is still a nascent and growing market, there are some platforms that facilitate private investments.

Who the eff would even want to trade on here anymore?  They don’t follow their own drum line, they just follow whatever the eff BTC is doing.  Which I mean I invested in BTC during the low $300’s but eff this is so stupid they all follow it.

Broken record here but LTC should be so much higher and rough ridin' china.....CHINA and their currency manipulating ways.  Ugh

When did you do the transfer?  Did you send it to the right address and find it on https://blockchain.info ?  LTC is 4x as fast as BTC and if there’s big volumes on BTC it may take awhile before it gets in a block if you paid low fees.

Since I'm out of the crypto game for a bit I've started looking into other investing things.  Has or does anyone use SeekingAlpha?  I love the content and they have a really good app too.

The cycle continues and the BTC blockchain will slow for a few days

I don't know if the fork will happen, but this is a very serious thing to consider.  It already drops a lot when BCH difficulty goes down, how will it react with 3 different Bitcoin blockchains?

What's the exchange rate going to be like? Whatever it is at that moment?

For who, the consumer or merchants?  The exchange rate is whatever X exchange is currently.  As crypto expands, I see businesses not exchanging back to fiat currencies that quickly.  If they are paid in crypto they will either hold or buy resources with that crypto.

You have to look at it as its own currency, not what the exchange rate is back to fiat.  It’s borderless currency, so anyone in the world can and will do business with it.  You aren’t tied to any one country, I could buy something from India with BTC and they in turn could buy more raw resources from China.  All of this would happen without exchanging between currencies and without the worry of a third party.  You, and only you, are in control of YOUR money.

I'll just have to do my own research on an item on Amazon. To see what it's price in bitcoin is at as the bitcoin market goes through some volatility.

I haven't been following closely but it seemed like there was a fair amount of movement in its value with respect to US dollar.  So one side will invariably be exploiting the crap out of this. I'm guessing it'll be Amazon.

I may be mentioning the wrong coin, but yes Amazon is set to be accepting one of the cryptos soon.

I also could be way off base. I just thought there was still a lot of rise and fall in the markets dollar value thus leading to either great deals or Amazon is looking at it as an investment and trying to get a head of the curve for substantial gains.

There was a report I posted about BTC being accepted as payment but nothing has been official.  There was/is also a petition to get it as a payment.

All of the big cryptos are traded against all the major country currencies, which is facilitated by that countries exchanges.  Trading against the US dollar doesn’t even account for a quarter of the trade volumes, which is why the China thing was such a big deal.

So prices as they are, I just bought again(BTC and LTC).  The price may go down with the two hard forks coming(yeah two in the next 2 months) for BTC.  When there is turmoil in BTC I see $$$ signs, especially when my money is splitting into two more chains.

This is a long term buy so I’m not looking to sell quick at all.  These two other chains I don’t expect to last forever but we’ll see where they go.

So, if you’ve been following along you know CoinBase probably won’t support Bitcoin Gold(October 25) and the November SegWit2X hardfork.  So, how do you access your coins from the forks?

For one, don’t keep your coins on the exchanges long term, UNLESS, you are actively trading, as a best practice.  I’ve said my preferred wallets or use others.  If you don’t have them on the exchanges, the individual forks will have default wallets.  Yet there may not be exchanges ready to handle them, or there may be, but you can’t access them because they are country specific.  So my advice is just hold tight while everything settles a bit and they get exchange support.

If there is anything to learn from the Bitcoin Cash(BCH) fork is that the price can rise RAPIDLY after the early fear mongerers sell.  It could also fall to nothing if they have no miners.  With BCH and the miner difficulty adjusting you could see large mining pools moving between all of them, idk, I haven’t looked at the Bitcoin Gold and SegWit2X techs much yet.  Regardless of how it all turns out, this is a very exciting time in crypto.

Ross Ulbricht(Avi: Dread Pirate Roberts) had that many BTC confiscated when he got arrested by the FBI.  He ran the first Silk Road.  The government treated his BTC as property and auctioned them all off.  The current price at the time and what they auctioned them for was only ~$28 million.  Today they’d be worth ~692 million.

He got arrested in California and was charged crimes in several states. However the biggest bull crap was that his trial was in NY, which has some of the toughest financial and internet crime laws. They wanted to make an example of him, plain and simple. He’s serving life in prison without the possibility of parole.

So something we haven’t talked about is exchanging LTC <=> BTC and ETH <=> BTC on GDAX and other exchanges.  Earlier this summer LTC got to .02 BTC and that was an ATH.  If you look at the exchange rate right now it’s just not fair.

Right now BTC has been rocketing back close to $5000 while LTC has settled around ~$50.  Because LTC is so stable comparably I see tremendous opportunity coming in the near future.  The exchange rate right now is .01 BTC, which is half of what the ATH is.  LTC shouldn’t fall below mid $40’s but BTC could fall a lot more.  Just something I’m watching a lot more recently since it’s gotten so favorable.

What do you make of these resistance points and rallies today? Feels very much like the jump to the 90's a while back.

Couple of things.  There’s speculation that China was just jk about the whole crypto ban(not surprising those currency manipulating fucks, even tho they were down to 1.5% of the trading today which is a 58.5% drop from before).  One of the lightning projects released a new wallet.  CoinBase allowing instant purchases from bank accounts(I’m very disappointed I wasn’t one of the first 15k that got that).

The main thing is money is pouring in because of the forks.  F2Pool quit signaling for SegWit2X.  The civil war has gotten pretty heated recently, many of the big players are bashing heads a lot more than they were ahead of the Bcash fork.  Several major exchanges are allowing instant withdraws of these two forks, after what happened with Bcash they are evolving.  Easy way to get free money.  Like I said, it’s a very exciting time.

crap. I was gonna get some ETH and convert that over to some Alts in Etherdelta once I figured out how to use it :lol:

Guess I'll have to wait until the price drops again

Why not just use Shapeshift or Changelly?

They don't have this one alt I'm looking for (LINK). Thx for the info on EtherDelta though friend

I had never heard of ChainLink but it sounds interesting from the little bit I just read.  Have you read the white paper on it?

So something we haven’t talked about is exchanging LTC <=> BTC and ETH <=> BTC on GDAX and other exchanges.  Earlier this summer LTC got to .02 BTC and that was an ATH.  If you look at the exchange rate right now it’s just not fair.

Right now BTC has been rocketing back close to $5000 while LTC has settled around ~$50.  Because LTC is so stable comparably I see tremendous opportunity coming in the near future.  The exchange rate right now is .01 BTC, which is half of what the ATH is.  LTC shouldn’t fall below mid $40’s but BTC could fall a lot more.  Just something I’m watching a lot more recently since it’s gotten so favorable.

We have never really discussed this but these are spam transactions.  I think I’ve posted articles about them but these are trying to overload the blockchain. 

These are on the LTC blockchain but these are multiple $.50 transactions.  There is no conceivable reason why this same amount would appear in this frequency on GDAX.  In the 1 in a million chance this couple happen in the open blockchain, where somewhere at multiple places in the world, people were making micro transactions.  However in an exchange environment there is absolutely no reason.

I posted an article a month ago maybe about spam and this is the same thing.  It’s a artificial clogging of the blockchain network.  It’s all politics and you could be miners.  The miners can make all these transactions but if they are mining the blocks and keeping the fees they charge themselves they don’t lose any money.  They gain support for SegWit2X and in the end can charge higher fees, which means more profit.

This is such a complicated situation but this is physical(virtual) proof that the spamming that is happening on BTC is also on the LTC network.

Doing more actual trending research and market analysis I’ve been using asymmetrical triangles a lot more.  While they are wrong a lot I did notice this one earlier today and wondered where it would go.  It jumped quicker than I thought but I did see a bullish trend on it.  It just broke through the resistance point quicker than I thought it would.

I’m inclined to say incredibly likely given how bullish I am on it.  However I think $400-$500 is more realistic.  Depends on how BTC does and where cross chain atomic swaps, smart contracts, and more retailers accepting it are.  I didn’t think BTC but be over $7000 either so idk.  It’s definitely on the up and up tho!

LTC is dropping with the fork, think I'll be snapping up some coins here if it drops below 50 :fistpump: :cheese:

give it to me straight, TBT, on a scale of "incredibly likely" to "a given" - how likely is LTC to reach $1,000 over the next year?

Giant scam. They are looking at a class action lawsuit right. Biggest ICO with over 200 million raised and pretty much nothing to show for it. It’s a bunch of pages back but I’m not big on ICO’s at all.

Nope.  Waiting this one out.  Downtrends on a Friday typically signal an even greater dip during the weekend.  Early morning hours on Sunday are usually when you want to look to buy.  This is all based on historical trends.

I watched the market for a few weeks.  Waited for a little mini crash, then threw a very small amount of cash at it - about the same amount I'd be prepared to lose in a casino.  It's been fun to keep an eye on.

TBT - on these climbs, how long do you usually hold?  I've already made a 35% return on my original (extremely modest) BTC investment.  Once you get a nice nut, do you cut and wait for the next price dip - or is that for chumps like me who don't understand crypto?

not tbt but this is a new climb and I would expect it may increase a bit more even. usually when we've seen the dips its been during the weekends(and that did not happen this weekend) so if that is to occur be sure to stick close to your device over the weekend. this is exciting to watch though. I haven't dumped by ltc yet but right now I'm gonna wait to see if it can hit $100 but if it starts to downward I'll sell it off and buy again

Depends on whether my buy was a long term investment or playing off pumps and dips.  Taking a 35% return is never a bad thing.  From what you’ve said you watched and waited for a few weeks before making a buy.  If I was just starting out I would sell, you picked a good spot to buy and made a healthy profit percentage.

That said we are in a rather unique position right now for growth.  For the past 2 years the industry has been battling over how to scale BTC.  That two year culmination came to a tipping point twice in the past 4 months.  If the soft fork to implement SegWit didn’t happen then BTC wouldn’t be in a good position to scale.  The BCash hardfork split the chain but the core devs stayed with Bitcoin.

The New York Agreement stipulated that if SegWit was activated then in November the SegWit2X “upgrade” would happen.  This would double the block size and effectively double the capacity of the network, with SegWit already implemented.  It was a poorly planned “upgrade” and had some technical bugs that would have left the network unstable.  I mean the 2X devs didn’t even have the right block height that the fork was supposed to happen on.  They were off by 1. 

After SegWit was activated all these companies that said they absolutely HAD to have SegWit hadn’t even implemented it yet.  Almost 4 months after it was locked in and still most haven’t done it.  Yet they wanted this 2X upgrade.  The 2X upgrade was never about scaling the BTC network, it was an attack to try and steal the Bitcoin name.  I’ve seen charts that 90% of the 2X nodes were in AWS and within hours of the fork being called off 60% of those nodes had been taken down. 

I give all this information to get back to the fact we are in a unique position right now.  Bitcoin implemented SegWit and fought off the 2X attack and came out about the best it could possibly have.  For 2 years there have been roadblocks and uncertainty to Bitcoins future.  There aren’t any big roadblocks in the near future.  CME’s futures market is projected to launch around December 11th. 

I don’t think the price is going down significantly anytime soon.

So guys the last time we hit this threshold, the next day we got up to ~$98. Not saying we hit that so quickly again, but if we do rapidly increase expect to cross the $100 threshold this time.

Last time was a pump because of cross chain atomic swaps. It was a little premature because we had some roadblocks upcoming. We don’t anymore, so I don’t expect that resistance to be nearly what it was last time.

I think it’s great bigger players are rolling it out.  You know who IS worried about the futures market tho?  The people who are rolling them out.  You never see this much volatility in the securities and stock markets.  There have been people wanting to stop the futures markets from opening because it exposes the banks and investors to such risk.

Honestly I would get a moonlander 2 first and figure everything out before getting a bigger rig.  The L3’s are pretty nice and ~500MH is pretty good.  I don’t think DragonMint has configured scrypt ASIC chips yet but their new rig runs at 16TH which is just crazy.  Bitmain will have some fierce competition when those things come out.

In the short term, probably.  Given the recent growth there has to be a correction at some point...I think  :sdeek: 

However there is still money to be made.  I really liked Dlew12’s comment that he invested what he would be willing to lose at a casino.  You don’t have to bet the entire farm to get into crypto. 

Long term there is still massive growth that will happen.

This year in crypto has made a lot of people rich.  This isn’t the first time Bitcoin and crypto have had this kind of growth, and it won’t be the last.  If you still think this is a bubble you don’t understand crypto.  It isn’t going anywhere.

What's the context on this TBT?

Ross Ulbricht(Avi: Dread Pirate Roberts) had that many BTC confiscated when he got arrested by the FBI.  He ran the first Silk Road.  The government treated his BTC as property and auctioned them all off.  The current price at the time and what they auctioned them for was only ~$28 million.  Today they’d be worth ~692 million.

i can't reconcile altcoins with the "true-believers'" rationale that we'll all be paying with this stuff someday.  if a "revolution" is happening, there isn't room for 150 different coins.

This is an astute observation.  There isn't room for a ton of coins in the space for mainstream adoption.  If you are interested I would listen to some of Charlie's interviews where he talks about what he sees in the future for the entire industry.  One of the big things that strikes me is that in the future the average person really won't know what protocol or coin they are using for purchases or transferring money.  This is the same way with how the internet works.  You just go to a website and look around, or stream a video.  You don't care if you are viewing the website using TCP or watching a video with UDP, you just know that it works and you can access content.

The same thing will happen in this space.  When you are saving money and storing it in crypto you will be storing it in Bitcoin.  When you want to buy something it will automatically be converted to LiteCoin through cross chain atomic swaps.  The transaction will happen and then if the vendor spends it on buying more products or whatever it will stay in LiteCoin.  If they are keeping that money in the bank to invest later it will be atomic swapped back to Bitcoin for a store of value.  You as the consumer won't care what 'coin' or protocol it's in when you spend or save, it just works.

Many coins have already died out and many more will too.  There isn't enough space in the market for a million different coins.  When the integration happens for the mainstream it will be easy to use and the underlying technology won't be as visible.  That's how Charlie sees the future in the market and how I see it as well.  Mainstream adoption will have to make it easy to use for everyone, preventing people from sending Bitcoin to LiteCoin addresses etc.  Using a trustless system will make internet commerce and global commerce for that matter evolve for the better.

But won't the volatility of these things deter mainstream use?  Sure, the value of the dollar fluctuates, but it's not rising or dropping 25+ percent in a day, as all three major coins did over the last week (with LTC and ETH fluctuating at much as 60 percent or so).

Like, for this system to work (where bitcoin is essentially using other currencies), these currencies are going to have to have some kind of relatively consistent value.  Theoretically, coins are all going to have to level off eventually for mainstream use, correct?

So they are so volatile right now because of market speculation.  Nobody knows how much BTC or LTC SHOULD be worth.  The prevailing theory is that the market will decide how much they should be worth and level off.  At that point it would be more for mainstream use and not as an investment vehicle for what it might be one day.  When it reaches that point it won’t fluctuate wildly anymore, or that’s the idea.

We are still a few years off before a lot of these technologies are perfected, safe, and scalable.  The technological challenges of creating a system without third party trust and scaling that to millions and billions of people is very complex.  Until it gets to that point it won’t be for mainstream use.  We have made great progress but there’s still a long way to go.  To answer your last question, yes, once we can do all the things I talked about all coins that survive SHOULD level off.  That said this is a giant social experiment that has never been done before.

Post by: The Big Train on December 19, 2017, 10:01:33 PM
I don't talk about it much but I thought this would be a good time.  So Bitcoin was the culmination of decades of work to try and create a decentralized currency that could be secured by a trust-less third party.  I have talked about that before, but what separated Bitcoin was that Satoshi figured out the double spend problem.  That was literally the only thing that hadn't been figured out to make it work.  He made the cryptography work with the SHA256 algorithm and the rest is history.

The fight for the Bitcoin name has created 2 hard forks just this year.  What people want is the name, and whatever side creates a fork, they feel that they fulfill the vision that Satoshi had.  If you haven't read the Bitcoin whitepaper (https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf) and are into the game this far, I highly encourage you to do that.  It's not very long for creating a hundreds of billion dollar industry thus far.  What Satoshi knew early on was that there would need to be a third party that could be the buffer between fiat currency and Bitcoin.  Thus this is where exchanges come into play, and the point of this post.

So exchanges have been around since the beginning, without them Bitcoin has no monetary value.  It needed to be compared against a legitimate exchange of value, and since gold can't be exchanged for a totally digital asset, fiat was the only option.  Without this exchange rate there would be no way to determine its worth.  Herein lies the problem tho, the entire reason for a decentralized currency, one which is censorship proof, requires a value backed currency to begin with.  That kind of defeats the purpose of Bitcoin altogether.  However, with the end goal of having its value stabilize against a state backed currency would allow it to cross borders and maintain it's worth.  With the addition of being accepted by merchants for physical and digital things gives it power as well.

I have always given Coinbase the benefit of the doubt.  They have tried to make getting into the space as simple as possible for the average user.  Without easy entry there is no way the average person could understand what is actually going on.  There was a reason that early on the only ones who even saw the applications of Bitcoin as a big deal were tech minded people, and those who hated the big banks.  It took until this year for more than just the techy people to see it as a real thing.

Coinbase has raised more than 200 million dollars in VC funding.

https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/coinbase

They have had multiple outages during extremely high volume trading this year.  They had Charlie as director of engineering to build GDAX from the ground up.  Maybe his departure was a bigger impact than I thought, or maybe they have only seen $$$.  Regardless what happened today with the BCH roll out was an absolute disgrace.  A company with this many customers, funds, financial backing, access to top quality engineers, and knowledge of the space, should never have had a roll out like they did today.  They manage millions if not billions of dollars of customer assets, and for them to market manipulate today is just rough ridin' unreal.  It really pisses me off.

I know how much of an investment vehicle this has been for me and others who have joined me.  This ultimately is about changing the world tho and in the long term I truly believe in this technology.  It is already changing many industries and will continue to do so.  This kind of mismanagement has happened in the past with Mt Gox, who at the time was handling 70% of all the global Bitcoin transactions.  There is a reason you don't want to keep large amounts of money on the exchanges, because you aren't in control of your own money, and Mt Gox is the reason.  The term "to big to fail" has been proven that that is not a truthful statement.  I just hope that Coinbase can get it together and not become a statistic.

~3.5 years and only 20 total posts, yet one of those is a trying to get me to continue posting posts. I KNOW people who don't post much(if at all) have benefited from my posting crypto stuff.  HOWEVER, I am the only technical analysis of this industry ITT.  My frustration is I learn absolutely nothing that I already know from this board.

The benefit to posting ITT(for me) is 0 additional trading strategies, 0 reasons to hold onto coins, 0 reasons to invest in another startup coin(other than knowing the name).

I post about an open forum to talk about this stuff, no responses.

I mean, I'm sorry guys, but for what I have given in advice, do I get nothing in return?

At least in the CC thread SD can post a referral link(which he does).

I may be done here, guys.

When it comes time to cash out, how do you "sell" your currency and get the proceeds into your bank account?  I assume it is like stock where you sell and and the proceeds less an administrative fee are transferred.

Coinbase is the exchange most people use.  You sell your coins for USD and then have that USD available instantly that you can hold in the exchange or transfer to your bank account. Gdax is the trading platform of Coinbase and is the most efficient way to actively trade the major crypto coins.

You can get an s9 from bitmain for around 3k . They are sold in batches and delivered about 2 months after paying for one.  If you mine it should be in a pool not on your own.  You can use cryptocompare.com's calculator for a rough estimate of ROI.  The miners are pretty loud and use lots of electricity.  Several factors are cost of electricity in your area, how much hashrate is being dedicated to Bitcoin(difficulty), and how much hash rate your rig has.
Title: Re: Cryptocurrency Master Thread

The S9 will probably add $1000 a year minimum to your electrical bill.

https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption

Just to note that's for Bitcoin only, which is the most energy intensive.

Yeah so to expand on this Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 algorithm for mining.  If you read back during the Bcash(Bitcoin Cash) stuff it also uses SHA-256.  So mining pools early on were alternating between the most profitable coin.  Bcash built in basically an emergency switch if x number of blocks weren’t mined in x amount of time it would recalculate to be easier to mine.  Bitcoin automatically recalculates the hash rate difficulty every 2016 blocks, which is about 2 weeks worth of work(goal keeping block creation ~10 min per).

For Bcash mining pools took advantage of this by not mining blocks in the set time.  Then the difficulty would decrease and all hash power would move to Bcash and be mining multiple blocks per minute.  Thus giving the miners more rewards quicker from mining Bcash.  This slowed down the Bitcoin network because all the hash power moved to Bcash.  Once the difficulty increased on Bcash and made it less profitable than Bitcoin all mining switched back to Bitcoin, and the cycle continued.  It’s gotten a little better but miners will always follow the profit.

Charlie(LTC creator) knew early on that you couldn’t just compete for hash power against Bitcoin.  So when he forked the code and created LiteCoin he changed the mining algorithm to Scrypt.  SHA-256 is a very CPU(early on) intensive algorithm(it’s moved to GPU intensive and now almost exclusively ASIC chips) and Scrypt is a very memory intensive algorithm.  So, the reason Charlie did this was so that you could mine both Bitcoin and LiteCoin on the same hardware.

So just to clarify, since I was watching during this time.  CoinBase never locked down Bitcoin buying on CoinBase.  They locked down Bcash(Bitcoin Cash) buying because of potential liquidity issues.

Bitcoin and Bcash are not the same thing, nor should they be viewed as equals.  The people pushing Bcash are pushing for the name Bitcoin, not to further the future of a decentralized currency.  They have intentionally used the name ‘Bitcoin Cash’ to confuse and scam people.  The only people promoting or advocating for Bcash are a centralized group of greedy crap stains that don’t understand what Bitcoin was created for originally.

Just wanted to make that clear and concise.

Agree on the $100 mark as highwater for XRP.  That price would far surpass BTC in market cap though given how many more coins XRP has.

As always, take safety precautions such as using a unique password for signing up, switch on 2-factor authentication and try not to hold a large balance on the exchange itself for too long – remember to withdraw your currencies to your own private wallet.

I think by April 1 they will have it online.  I know that it's been the next big thing that people want on CoinBase.  It's also been in the top 5 market cap for a long time now.  I also think that GDAX messed up and tipped their hand when they added the Bcash markets.  When it went online Charlie posted a screenshot commenting about how it was listed in the "Other" category of coins.  They quickly changed it to be in the "Bitcoin Cash" market, so that tells me that they may be adding more than just XRP soon, or have already deployed the infrastructure to handle more beyond XRP.

What type of a private wallet do you use?  Is it offline, cloud service?

So this is sort of a loaded question.

There are several different ways you can go.  There are 4ish types of wallets that you can use, and they have their tradeoffs.  The first is the default wallet that is provided by the devs of the currency that you are using.  Second there are the exchange wallet services, both the online wallets like CoinBase has that are connected to the internet and allow for instant trading and transfer.  There are also the cold storage wallets like CoinBase's vault service.  The wallet is disconnected from the internet and takes several days to move funds based on the policy of the provider(because the wallets need to be retrieved, connected to the internet, verified, etc).

The third kind of wallet is a paper wallet(or app wallet).  This is a wallet that uses SPV(Simplified Payment Verification).  A portion of the blockchain is stored on your device and is connected to the network.  The fourth kind is a hardware wallet, which is what Phil was talking about earlier.  This is a physical device that is considered cold storage because it is disconnected from the internet.

Of the 4 wallets that I described 3 of them allow you to keep your private keys.  The exchange wallets are kept by that particular exchange.  I've talked about it in here or you can google Mt Gox, but they are the reason you don't want to keep your coins on exchanges for extended periods of time.

Now to your original question.  I use a combination of default and paper wallets.  The particulars I won't get into but you can generate as many addresses as you want, which are all completely independent of each other.  I keep the pass phrases for these wallets in a number of safe locations.  I also have my coins spread out over different wallets to minimize risk of compromising a single wallet with everything in it.

It really just depends how and where you want to keep your assets.

Highly recommend the Nano Ledger S....only annoying thing is it doesn't have enough space to store all the coin wallets at a time (if you do more than like 5)....so you have to off load and reload particular coin wallet apps when you want to move coins around.  Other than that super simple to setup and get your coins off the exchanges.

Now to freak out about how/where to store the seeds and make sure someone else knows the PIN in case I get 7 pak'd one too many times.  Relieved to know when the exchanges get hacked, I'm protected.

Interesting article and I agree with Peter.  There’s nothing wrong with being centralized but I’m more interested in the decentralized kind of network.  One of XRP’s core devs has like a 10 tweet response to this and he didn’t seem happy.

i still think LTC has the best long term viability as a payment network, but i want to pump and dump ripple for a big pay day.  I do think Ripple the company is taking an approach that will have better short term success because these big banks aren't going to go quietly into the night and let truly decentralized blockchains take all their lunch money.

With some of the recent ETH noise it makes sense that a direct ETH competitor would gain traction.  From the little research I have done on it that's exactly what it is, a platform to build smart contracts on.  Instead of being developed mainly from the brain of a legit wunderkind in Vitalik it's based more on proven research.  Interesting to see where it goes, given that LiteCoin and Bitcoin are currently working on layer 2 smart contracts(which is basically what LN is).

On the XRP front I think CoinBase is really close to enabling trading, which I said a few pages ago.  However with that article I posted a few days ago I think they will wait a little longer before they release.  They have always been on the 'safe side' with cryptos launching and want to make sure they are working.  With how centralized XRP is that may delay the role out.  That being said CoinBase was extremely careless with the Bcash roll out so we'll see.

That's how most get rich quick things work.

But even aside from the ICOs and sketchy coins, you're kidding yourself if the larger crypto market (even the "solid" currencies) aren't get rich quick things.  Bitcoin is up 1500% in the last year.  Litecoin is up over 5600%.  This whole thing is a goldrush, fueled mostly by people drunk on the idea of multiplying their wealth for no effort and wanting to make a quick buck.  That's basically why I tossed some money at it, and, hey, it worked!  It's an attractive market in the same way a hot craps table is attractive.

You're right that people should know that many of these coins are essentially penny stocks, and carry the same risks.  But I think you could have also said that about some of the more established coins back when they were available at fractions of what they're now selling for.  Those of us in established cryptos and those of us in dogecoin are all playing more or less the same game here, is what i'm trying to say.

How do you guys have your portfolios split up?  In the short time I've been looking at this, BTC, LTC, etc. seem to be like investing in gold.  Pretty safe with a long term growth potential.  The altcoins seem to be where you would take a chance with a few hundred or a grand to see what happens with them.  Seems like you would own mostly BTC, LTC, or ETH with smattering of the others sprinkled in.

Yeah we can agree on the get rich quick thing. If you looked at the entirety of the people investing most don't give a crap about the underlying technology, just want to make money. I included the rest of my original post that you quoted to highlight what you said about tossing money and it working. Through this entire thing there have been extreme ups and downs, and I just wanted to highlight that it doesn't always just go up. After the SegWit2X fork was called off everything exploded exponentially and seemed like it would never stop growing. For those new to investing in this stuff they could have the perception that it's all roses and that it's a sure thing it's going to make them money. I was accused this summer of just posting positive stuff about everything which was simply not true.

why cant eth be moving like that:(

Uh, you might want to follow what you're speculating in bud. TBT has just been painting roses up in here.

http://www.businessinsider.com/report-hackers-stole-32-million-in-ethereum-after-a-parity-breach-2017-7

I think the only thing TBT has been painting is the market is extremely volatile and opportunity for significant returns/ losses exist.

For those that weren't around during all of this I am just reiterating that sentiment that there can and will be giant dips. This industry has created so much hype and I've had people who never post on this board PM asking for buying/selling advice. So I know that what is posted in this thread is viewed by a much larger audience than just the people who post here. I try and not give straight buying and selling advice in here now because I want people to be informed and not lose money because of bad advice. If you recently invested all you've ever really known is that cryptos have made you money. There are people that are taking mortgages out on their houses to buy this stuff for gods sakes. That is an extremely bad idea and I just want everyone here at gE.com that reads this stuff to not do crazy stuff like that. That's all I was really trying to say with that post.

Since the original Bitcoin genesis block there have been countless coins that have grown and fallen. Some of those were even mainstays in the top 10 market caps before all their investors lost it all. So I know that the established coins could all come down. It's highly unlikely but if every world government cracked down on it to have control and so did the banks that could threaten it. That is extremely unlikely but still something that could happen. At the end of the day I just want everyone here to be informed and make responsible decisions. I don't want people coming out and saying that I was the reason they lost money.

How do you guys have your portfolios split up?  In the short time I've been looking at this, BTC, LTC, etc. seem to be like investing in gold.  Pretty safe with a long term growth potential.  The altcoins seem to be where you would take a chance with a few hundred or a grand to see what happens with them.  Seems like you would own mostly BTC, LTC, or ETH with smattering of the others sprinkled in.

Current USD value.

This perspective goes for the vast majority of ICO’s and why so many of them fail. The concept is pretty cool for Tron, may read the white paper sometime if I’m bored. Sharding of the data is what MongoDB does for horizontal scaling so I’d be interested to see how they do it. It gets real complex real quick in MongoDB. We’ll see what happens with this white paper with no product.

From what I have gathered from listening to different people and reading, the general consensus is that when the BTC price is moving sideways the altcoins tend to see greater activity.  More than one person has mentioned that when BTC prices start climbing again, they expect the altcoin market to cool off.

So you are comfortable with the price BTC is sitting at right now? I'm considering balancing up a bit...mostly out of XRP . I still think there is something to be made there but doesn't hurt to take a little profit from it now.

Have a few other small amounts of Dash, Monero, Ripple, and BNB.

Currently you can’t sell fractions of a coin which is why you should always use BNB to pay the fee.  You get a 50% reduction in fees and the price will appreciate because Binance buys back BNB to destroy to decrease supply.  That’s really the only reason I keep it.

For about 10 min the LTC price was $250 on GDAX and $230 on Binance, caused because of a bidding war on GDAX.  Both exchanges have API's for trading...  :D :D :D

That’s how the price rises and falls so rapidly.  All the major exchanges have API’s you can use to create your own trading bots with your own algorithms.

Just as a forewarning your fraud alerts for any account you send money with might be frozen.  Bitstamp is located in the UK and most fraud detections will register it as a fraudulent transaction.  It’s not, but it might trigger it once you send money.

Over 33%(7/20) orders from this 28 seconds of trading are below the minimums they are instituting. For people who trade lower amounts it kind of sucks but overall it’s going to be way better for everyone else.

So I’m going to do a little bit of live blogging, first ever for the crypto thread!

I’m watching the second episode of Magical Crypto Friends(episode 1 was v good and this one is too) and almost half way through(so idk how much live blogging there will be).  They are talking about cryptokitties which was a smart contract exercise to basically show that blockchains in their current form aren’t ready for mainstream scalability.
Title: Re: Cryptocurrency Master Thread
Post by: The Big Train on January 11, 2018, 08:09:27 PM
This was done on Ethereum(context will probably be lost if you don’t know about DAO’s, google it) but Charlie is talking about the true need for decentralized organizations.  In the case of cryptokitties there really will never be a need for it.  The scaling issue WhalePanda brings up is that if Ethereum delivers on their promise there could be hundreds of thousands of these things.

Charlie says that for an application like that being centralized is completely fine.  If google makes a platform for this why would it be wrong to create it there?  There can be truly decentralized organizations but not everyone needs to have one.  Just like currencies, not every single one of them needs to be decentralized.
Title: Re: Cryptocurrency Master Thread
Post by: The Big Train on January 11, 2018, 08:12:38 PM
Most important thing to remember is that blockchains don't scale onchain.  You can create as big of blocks as you want, which Ethereum does, and it doesn't scale well right now.

There is a lot more TV coverage of Bitcoin, even on the big networks like CNBC etc and they bring on these so called 'experts'.  Most of these people don't really have any real expertise in this area and they just try and get people on these shows that get the most shock value(Prime example was about a week and a half ago that had a chart showing bitcoin in a giant BEAR market??????????) just to get their ratings up.

No fact checkers and they just nod and agree with these so called experts, who are mostly fund managers.  In the case of Monero they didn't consult with ANYONE who has been or currently is a part of the community.

People are putting stuff on Linkedin that they are a blockchain expert or a bitcoin evangelist after being in the space for 3 months.  There was a Belgium guy(WhalePanda talking who is from there) and he was at this conference with me and I had never heard of him in the community, and he gave me his book :confused: 

Ricardo: Early on there was this IRC chat that wouldn't let you comment unless you had been around for a while. It was something like 6 months or something, and he would make you wait until you had been around long enough.  Sometimes he would elevate you to voice your opinion for about 30 minutes but it made people learn about the market before commenting saying they knew everything. We should have something like that because you have people who have been around for a few months and think they know everything about the community.

Talking about people calling it a Ponzi, and the question was how do you convince family or friends that it isn't just a made up currency.  "Ponzi is so 2016, it's just a fraud now" :lol:

The problem is people just can't wrap their head around it, the comparison is the uncle who used to be an accountant and that sort of person and their go to is it must be tulip mania and it's a bubble and the housing market crash and they have all these analogies of what Bitcoin is and they don't understand why it has value(I paused it because this is a great piece of explanation).  :lol:   WhalePanda asked how do you respond to them, and Charlie's answer is: "I just don't talk to them"  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

It's better to talk about what makes things valuable.  If you go back to what makes gold valuable it's what makes crypto valuable too.

Charlie: One of the things that makes crypto valuable is that it can't be censored.  You yourself own, and you decide what you do with your money and that is something that didn't previously exist(to the people getting triggered, if you send or dispense over 10k, there will be questioned asked about WHY you need that much money, crypto does not).  Second is that is global, there are no boundaries to crypto, you can't just send someone an ounce of gold in China.

Talking about wallet fees not and that people who have very low balances can't move their coins and are calling Bitcoin and Ponzi.  You can set your own transaction fee, little known fact, it will take longer of course, but you can, so everyone who is using only exchanges...yeah(this was my comment).

Continuing talking about fees, Charlie brings up a very good point.  Someone with an alternate AGENDA could be making a ton of microtransactions and loading up the mempool.  They may pay 10k a day in fees to do this.  If you have someone(Like dickface Roger Ver) who has billions of dollars that's a VERY small price to pay to push his agenda towards Bcash.

So this will be my 2nd post on getting everyone technically involved. What is replay protection? With all the hard forks that have happened and replay protection being a big issue here is a pretty good video to explain what it is and how it works.

This might be a dumb question, but in my blockchain wallet it says that I have the accurate number of BTC.  However, it also says I have some some additional BCH as well.

On the BCH page under questions, it says:

"If you had bitcoin in your Blockchain wallet before the fork in August, you already have Bitcoin Cash. If you're new to Blockchain, you can get started with Bitcoin Cash by exchanging bitcoin or ether."

So... Did I just automatically get some "free bitcoin cash"?  Or, what?

And, should I HODL this if I have it or turn it into something else like BTC, LTC or ETH?

:dunno:   :runaway:  :dunno:

That's not a dumb question and a part of hard forks that can be confusing.  So when Bitcoin hard forked in August and created Bitcoin Cash(Bcash) it split the Bitcoin blockchain into two separate chains.  They(Bitcoin and Bcash) have the exact same history pre-hard fork, but have diverging ledgers from the block that the hard fork occurred on.  So whatever balance of Bitcoin you had at the moment of the fork you have on the other chain as well.  Any transactions on either chain after that point won't reflect on the other chain, because of replay protection(I've posted some articles about this) being included with Bcash.

This is the case with Bitcoin Gold(I don't remember if they included replay protection or not) and all the other hard forks that have happened since.  Most of these other forks aren't even worth your time to get the "Free coins" from, I think I posted an article about it though if you are interested.

As for what to do with it that's up to you.  Obviously from stuff I've been posting I think it's a shitcoin and I don't have any.

I've posted some tax stuff before but since I'm doing mine soon I just wanted to post more stuff.  So this article gives a little info on where you can generate some reports for people who just used CoinBase.

https://support.coinbase.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1496488-taxes-faq

For people who used GDAX you can generate separate reports since they are different companies under the same entity.  When you are in the GDAX trade view just to the right of your name is a hamburger icon.  Under that you can generate them a couple of different ways.  Under accounts will show your current balances and your trade history plus your withdraws/deposit.  If you go to fills you can see all your trades for each individual book.  At the top there is a "Download Receipt/Statement" you can use this to generate a custom report for fiscal year 2017.

Pay your taxes, guys.

I mean that’s just my opinion.  See, who he is doesn’t mean anything, it’s what he knows.  If Michael Jordan says, “Hey, Bitconnect is the next big thing”, when MJ knows absolutely nothing about it, you lose all your money.

I have said do what you want, but general advice wise, I know what I’m talking about.  If you want to lose all your money on scam coins, be my guest.

That portfolio is crap and take it for what it’s worth but I have made a lot on “what I don’t know”.

I'm intrigued at how the prices for coins stabilize across different exchanges.  I guess if the price on one exchange skyrockets, then the money will flow to that exchange and the price will normalize to where it is on other ones.  I see a lot of people talking about how because a coin is listed on a new exchange, the price should increase.  Seems to me that it would be a short term increase on that exchange and then it will fall back down to where the rest of the market is.

In the meantime, I'm just sitting here a on a bag of TRX waiting on the mainnet launch and the coin burn.

A little over two months ago if you said the prices would be where they are right now after this correction, I would have called you crazy.  The exponential increase since Thanksgivingish when the market was flooded with inexperienced traders is a big part of the reason this is happening.  The craze and potential for a perceived get rich quick because it's never going to stop going up is settling in.  These prices have been way over what most of these coins should be worth.  This shakeout will be great long term but sucks for new people within the past few months.

It is very interesting.  Cross exchange high speed trading helps keep the markets somewhat close but the people doing it are still making an absurd amount of money.  You've got the right idea on all of this stuff too.

If you are day trading crypto it’s the only way to have liquidity on price movements if you don’t already have money on the exchanges.  Debit cards aren’t effected tho.  CoinBase and others still haven’t completely rolled out instant purchases with bank accounts yet.

Just as clarification for everyone else, gas is the price you pay to send transactions or execute smart contracts on the Ethereum network.  It’s about the equivalent of mining fees on BTC or LTC.  Once MAST(smart contracts) are implemented on BTC and LTC more layer 2/3 applications will be able to be built on them too.

Probably....I'm still struggling with how the IRS is going to track all of the trades performed in a year.  Seems to me, the only information that they will have will be what Coinbase reports on a 1099 and what you report as your basis.  I'm probably wrong and have read a few articles on the issue, but it still doesn't seem like the IRS has fully figured it out either.

This is it.  Also bought an add-in that adjusts buy and sell points based on real time market conditions.  From what I have read and heard, it should minimize the number of bags you have to hold.

Yeah I read about it when you originally posted it but I didn’t know if it was just a mobile friendly website interface or what from the pictures.  Hopefully it just uses the API from whatever exchange and uses your own account rather than storing your coins on their servers.  Interested to see how it works.

Bought the bot you guys.  I will report back how it's going once it is up and running.  I'm waiting on Binance to fix their issues before I bring it online.

Is it like a standalone program or is it a web interface you input your price points?

https://profittrailer.com/

This is it.  Also bought an add-in that adjusts buy and sell points based on real time market conditions.  From what I have read and heard, it should minimize the number of bags you have to hold.

You use the API and from what I understand it buys and sells for you on Binance.

Cool.  Hopefully it works pretty well.  I’ve looked at creating bots on GDAX and the API is pretty easy to use and intuitive.  The hard part is designing a good algorithm for trading especially as the price actively changes.  If I had more time to devote to creating a good one I might sell it too.

I started it up last night without the Feeder add in running.  Will get that going today.  So far has made a few buys and sells.  I have it configured that when BTC starts jumping it goes in to sell only mode...so it hasn't been doing a lot yet.  I do have it configured to send me Telegram messages when it starts, shuts down, and makes buys and sells.  Pretty cool so far.  It is probably going to take a few weeks to tweak the buy and sell settings beyond what the feeder add in is going to do.

Interesting.  Can you set percentage changes based on last X hours for the buys and sells?  Are you using any triangle charting to help with your buy/sell strategy?  Typically I set buys and sells between 4-8% above or below where the market is currently if it’s rising or dropping.  The highest peaks and lowest valleys usually hit those percentages only for a few minutes so I try and catch them.  I would love to see the algorithm they use for that bot and what statistic they put the most weight on.

The profit feeder add in utilizes real time market data and constantly updates buy sell strategies based on that.  You can tweak it to do about anything based on how aggressive you want to be.  It will also DCA your bags if you want it to.  Sounds like utilizing that feature has the potential to eat up a bunch of your trading budget pretty quickly though.

This bot deal is pretty cool.  So many settings you can tweak.  Probably going to take a few weeks to figure out the sweet spot.  Cool deal about is that when it makes a buy/sell or if it quits running you get a telegram message with the details.  Really excited about the possibilities with this thing.

TBT do you focus on the non monetary applications of blockchain? I'm in the transportation industry (truck driver) and my company recently joined the BiTA (Blockchain in Transport Alliance) which is trying to develop the guidelines/frame work for using blockchain to track track goods being transported.

Read this pretty neat article this morning.

TL:DR
Quote
Executives of Walmart, Inc., Bentonville, Ark., needed a couple seconds to see how blockchain technology might improve their food supply chain.

Walmart first tested its conventional way of tracing mangoes at the store back to their origin. It took nearly seven days, said Brigid McDermott, vice-president of food safety for IBM, Armonk, N.Y., which is working with Walmart on blockchain technology.

Then the same test was done with blockchain technology. It took 2.2 seconds.

Good article.  It would definitely help with food safety recalls as it says in the article.  Figuring out a consensus way to build the blockchain would be one of the hard parts.  I’ve read articles about the energy industry working on blockchains too.  The entire space is so interesting.

You also got amounts of Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond, Super Bitcoin and BitCore since the Bitcoin Cash fork.  If you haven’t heard of some of those it’s because they are dumb and not worth your time.  Which is probably what this LiteCoin Cash fork will be too.  To answer your question tho, yes you will get LiteCoin Cash but then you have to find a way to get it and find an exchange that supports it.

That is going to be interesting to follow.  It will be interesting to see how the tax issue is handled with a US exchange.  You can bet your ass that the feds will eek out every bit of tax revenue they can too.

I rough ridin' love this.  These clowns have been trying to manipulate Bitcoin, steal it’s name, and defraud people for far too long.  It’s a joke that anyone takes anything they say seriously at this point.

For newcomers I understand but anyone who has ever even done a slight bit of research or bought a BTC.  The learning curve is hard on the technical side but super easy on the knowledge side.

 :lol:

It will never hit the masses until it is easy to use, I agree.

There's a reason that the Lightning Network is being developed to enable off chain transactions, which will greatly improve transaction capacity.  The credit card industries have crypto beat by a ton because they rely on a trusted third party for verification.  Confirming transactions using a trustless, decentralized system and no validated third party is a complicated engineering task.  Which is why many are working on it.

Using off chain transactions also cuts on the transaction fees, so BTC may one day be able to be used for a cup of coffee again, while also be instant.  If that's not possible then cross chain atomic swaps will convert to a better currency instantly(without user knowledge) to enable those kinds of smaller transactions.

Let me ask you this Chings, in 1995 when the internet was in its infancy for the masses, was Amazon.com(in its current state) a possibility?  If you say no, which you will, I will just belly laugh because I know that's how most skeptics view crypto overall.

The analogy is what Amazon.com is now.  In 1995 it could never be that because of CSS, jQuery, css etc at the time.  This wasn't an argument to the direct Amazon.com site, since it was a purely book site at the time.  What was the internet in 1995?  It was nothing compared to what it is today, that's the analogy

That's worse than the bolivar.  This is not "investing" anymore than trading pink sheet stocks of a bankrupt company is investing.

There will only ever be 21 million whole Bitcoins in existence.  Every ~10 when a block is mined(confirmed transactions) a block reward is created for the miner.  Those are new Bitcoin that are released into the environment.  We will reach 21 million in circulation around 2140.  The block reward started at 50 Bitcoin and it is currently at 12.5.  It halves every 210,000 blocks, or about every 4 years.

Mining is just a term for the confirming of transactions, with the side effect of new bitcoins being created.  It gives incentive for the miners to confirm transactions(since they receive the new bitcoins).  You also pay a fee to be preferentially selected to have your transactions confirmed quicker.  When all bitcoin are in the environment that will be the incentive for miners to keep confirming transactions.

Each whole bitcoin can be split into 100 million pieces.  So there’s room for the network to expand without actually creating new bitcoins.  Being a bitcoiner(someone who owns at least 1 whole bitcoin) will become more and more rare as adoption rates go up.

I know just about nothing about Bitcoin, but I really don’t understand how people mine it if the supply is finite.

There will only ever be 21 million whole Bitcoins in existence.  Every ~10 when a block is mined(confirmed transactions) a block reward is created for the miner.  Those are new Bitcoin that are released into the environment.  We will reach 21 million in circulation around 2140.  The block reward started at 50 Bitcoin and it is currently at 12.5.  It halves every 210,000 blocks, or about every 4 years.

Does that matter when the 21 million bitcoins are infinitely mine-able and divisible? Or are they not?

Mining is just a term for the confirming of transactions, with the side effect of new bitcoins being created.  It gives incentive for the miners to confirm transactions(since they receive the new bitcoins).  You also pay a fee to be preferentially selected to have your transactions confirmed quicker.  When all bitcoin are in the environment that will be the incentive for miners to keep confirming transactions.

Each whole bitcoin can be split into 100 million pieces.  So there’s room for the network to expand without actually creating new bitcoins.  Being a bitcoiner(someone who owns at least 1 whole bitcoin) will become more and more rare as adoption rates go up.

Says bitcoin is finite, types this long post.  :Woot:

It just seems conceivable that these tiny fractions of bitcoin could be given some other name, like ittybittycoin, and be all but infinite, since you can split each individual bitcoin 100 million times.

Shipping and food sourcing are great applications.  Instead of companies forcing grocery stores from 4 states to throw food out they can pinpoint the farm in minutes, and only recall those few stores that sell that product from that farm. 

Does everyone see the difference here?  Ignorance vs Application understanding.

Yes.  I think I’ve gone over that before but once they reach wider adoption the price should stabilize compared to what it can do now.  Bitcoin will more than likely be used as a store of value and cross chain swapped to others for different use cases.  All this will happen behind the scenes and the end user will never know the difference.

Couple of ways.  First it’s got to be able to scale, SegWit is helping clear the mempool so people aren’t waiting hours or even days at its worst for confirmed transactions.  It’s got to be easy to use.  People don’t care what protocol a website uses to serve content, whether it’s TCP or UDP, they just want it to work.  It’s got to be secure, so people don’t lose money by sending BTC to a BCH address, the wallets have to stop people from making those mistakes.

It’s got to be able to interact with the currencies that we have now, outside of centralized exchanges.  Hodlhodl.com is a great example of progress on that front.  Additional technical upgrades like MAST to allow for more applications other than just a store of value.  Price fluctuations are another thing, I think I commented to Dlew12 about this but eventually the price should somewhat stabilize.  Those are ways it will get broader adoption.
Title: Re: Cryptocurrency Master Thread
Post by: puniraptor on March 10, 2018, 10:35:34 AM
the technical stuff is practically irrelevant to adoption compared to price stability

And the price won't stabilize without wider adoption

Speculative instruments are not stores of value. They may "have value" when purchased, but are not "a reasonably stable store of future value". As mentioned above, the key to defining if an asset can be considered a store of value, is that it can predictably retain purchasing power into the future.

At various times throughout history, people and nations have famously made the mistake of believing that they could "store value" in speculative instruments, misunderstanding that ones personal choice to invest in a speculative asset does not automatically convert that asset into a proper and predictable store of value.

Examples of assets that are not traditionally considered stores of value:

Stocks – A share of ownership of a publicly-traded company
Cryptocurrencies – digital currencies

Guys just as an FYI, make sure you have your keys accurately written down and stored securely.  The latest version of LoafWallet makes you have to restore your most recent active wallet.

Even if you don’t use a paper wallet it’s always good to double verify your pass phrases.

This is why the debate over scaling and block size are so heated. Dumbass Roger Ver things you just make the blocks bigger. Actual smart people make it more efficient before having to change a core attribute of the original system. Since LTC doesn’t deviate much from where BTC goes LTC should get this too.

Pretty apt explanation of why the simple-minded are confused:

Quote
Should we all ‘invest’ in BitCoin?

We’ll start with the answer: No, you should not invest in Bitcoin. The reason is that it’s not an investment. Just like gold, tulip bulbs, Beanie Babies, 1999 dotcoms without any hope of a product plan, “pre-construction pricing” Toronto condominiums you have no intent to occupy or rent out, and rare baseball cards are not investments.

These are all things that people have bought in the past, and driven to completely irrational prices, not because they did anything useful or produced any money and value to society, but solely because they thought they would be able to sell them to someone else for more in the future.

When you make this kind of purchase, which you should never do, you are speculating, which is not a useful activity. You’re playing a psychological, win-lose battle against other humans with money as the only objective. Even if you win some money through dumb luck, you have lost some time and life energy, which means you have lost.


Noticed this ad on the corner of a website recently … because we ALL need daily updates on an obscure piece of niche software technology!

Investing means buying an asset that actually creates products and services and cashflow for an extended period of time. Like a piece of a profitable business or a rentable piece of real estate. An investment is something that has intrinsic value – that is, it would be worth owning from a financial perspective, even if you could never sell it.

Now, with that moral sermon out of the way, we might as well talk about why Bitcoin has become such a big thing, so we can separate the usefulness of the underlying technology called “Blockchain”, from the mania about how people have turned Bitcoin it into a big dumb lottery.

This separation is important because the usefulness of Blockchain is the primary justification people use for the big dumb Bitcoin lottery.

Once you make this separation in your mind, you can see that Blockchain is a simply a nifty new software invention (which is open-source and free for anyone to use), whereas Bitcoin is just one well-known way to use it.

Blockchain is just a computer protocol, which allows two people (or machines) to do transactions even if they don’t trust each other or the network between them. It can have applications in the monetary system, contracts, and even as a component in higher level protocols like sharing files. But it’s not some spectacular Instant Trillionaire piece of magic.

As a real world comparison, I quote this nifty piece from a reader named The Unassuming Banker:

… imagine that someone had found a cure for cancer and posted the step-by-step instructions on how to make it on-line, freely available for anyone to use.
Now imagine that the same person also created a product called Cancer-Pill using their own instructions, trade marked it, and started selling it to the highest bidders.

I think we can all agree a cure for cancer is immensely valuable to society (blockchain may or may not be, we still have to see), however, how much is a Cancer-Pill worth?

 

Our Banker friend goes on to explain that the first Cancer-Pill might initially see some great sales. Prices would rise, especially if the supply of these pills was limited (just as an artificial supply limit is built right into the Bitcoin algorithm.)

But since the formula is open and free, other companies would quickly come out with their own cancer pills. Cancer-Away, CancerBgone, CancEthereum, and any other number of competitors would spring up. Anybody can make a pill, and it costs only a few cents per dose.

And yet imagine everybody started bidding up Cancer-Pills, to the point that they cost $17,000 each and fluctuate widely in price, seemingly for no reason. Because of this, newspapers start reporting on prices daily, triggering so many tales of instant riches that you notice even your barber and your massage therapist are offering tips on how to invest in this new “asset class”.

But instead of seeing how ridiculous this is, even more people start piling in and bidding up every new variety of pills (cryptocurrency), over and over and on and on, until they are some of the most “valuable” things on the planet.

NO, right?

And yet this is exactly what’s happening with Bitcoin. And if you haven’t been digging into the cryptocurrency world much, it gets way weirder than this. Take a look at this shot from the website coinmarketcap.com, and observe the preposterous herd behavior in real life:


Fig.1: Various cryptocurrencies, ranked by how many people have been fooled.

“Holy crap!” is the only reasonable reaction. You’ve got Bitcoin with a market value of $234 Billion Dollars, then Ripple at $92 billion with Ethereum right behind at $85,792,800,592.

These are preposterous numbers. The imaginary value of these valueless bits of computer data represents enough money to change the course of the entire human race, for example eliminating all poverty or replacing the entire world’s 800 gigawatts of coal power plants with solar generation. Why? WHY???

At 2 a.m. on Thursday, a crowd of people, mostly men, are lined up outside an exclusive burlesque nightclub, The Box, in downtown Manhattan.

"Who are all these people?" a dancer in spiky gold stilettos asks a security guard.

"There's some sort of cryptocurrency conference in town," he tells her.
...
The group in question had just come from a cruise ship, the Cornucopia Majesty, where a pair of Aston Martins were awarded to two guests through random selection
...
women in corseted lingerie deliver bottles of vodka and Champagne to tables of reclining men in suits amid a fanfare of sparklers. Onstage, two naked women simulate fellatio as the crowd roars in approval. At one point, one of the women eats something seemingly designed to look like feces from the other's rear. A half-naked man wearing an enormous bear head gyrates against a woman whose breasts are ensconced in two clear plastic Madonna-style triangles. Bags of cocaine are passed underhand.

"If I offer you coke, do you promise not to write about it?" a woman asks.
...
Around 3 a.m., a nerdcore rapper who goes by the name YTCracker takes the stage to perform two cryptocurrency-themed rap songs, "Bitcoin Baron" and "Crypto Illuminati." He flew into New York expressly to perform at this event.

He raps:

Told you to snap up a modest position
Of currency minted from factoring digits
Which of you listened?
Which of you listened?

In the red velvet booths below, his listeners raise glasses of Champagne.

Also, where is the Jalapeño Ranch option RD!?

We aren't talking about chicken strips here, bub. We're talking about burgers. A true burger is a religious experience. I mean…that first bite—oh, what heaven that first bite is. The bun, like a sesame freckled breast of an angel, resting gently on the ketchup and mustard below, flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then…a pickle! The most playful little pickle! Then a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce and a…a patty of ground beef so exquisite, swirling in your mouth, breaking apart, and combining again in a fugue of sweets and savor so delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread, bub. This is God, speaking to us in food. How dare you...

Now, close your eyes, and imagine someone smothered that divine creation with jalapeño ranch.  :drool: :drool: :drool:

Complete with the tilde and everything...

Almost everyone is firmly and permanently entrenched in the caveman era of paper money so that's why there's not much interest or response.  You might as well post detailed Crossfit regimens or reasons to become a vegan - there's simply not enough people on here interested in it for it to become a thing.  I barely understand this stuff anyway, maybe I need to go revisit the "WTF is a Bitcoin" thread.

I imagine crypto will be embraced and used more in the next 50-100 years after the United States has crashed and burned or something.

That article is only from May and Bitmain is in trouble.  They just IPO’d because they have been hemorrhaging cash(north of $500 million) because they sold all their BTC for Bcash.  Bcash is straight trash and is gonna have a chain split in less than 2 months.  Bitmain did just release a new ASIC but they could be mumped.

I don’t care that you don’t get what’s appealing about crypto, you don’t want to know, which is also fine.  If you lived in Venezuela or Greece or Zimbabwe maybe then it would register but probably not.

That is very interesting.  Ethereum as a whole is showing that not everything needs to be a decentralized application.  There’s also maybe a few hundred people in the world that can coherently write smart contracts in solidity on Ethereum.  It’s also very hard to write smart contracts, which is why there haven’t been many successful ones written yet.

I have actually done some stuff with Hyperledger and Sawtooth.  I’ve even deployed a 3 node Sawtooth private blockchain on Azure.  The smart contracts are written primarily in JavaScript and their focus is on supply chain management.  It’s being implemented in the fishing industry in the South Pacific to help combat poaching and fisherman using slave labor.  The fish have RFID tags attached to them to correspond to their primary key on the blockchain that get scanned at multiple places.  Once the fish are filleted a QR code replaces the RFID tag that customers can scan at the market.

I think standardizing may help bring more people and industries into it.  Should also help expand the number of SDK’s for more languages than just JavaScript and Solidity which will include more devs.  The interoperability will also help take some of the load off of Ethereum and allow private blockchains running Sawtooth and the other Hyperledger blockchain implementations to absorb unnecessary load.

As far as I know tho Joe Lubin still hasn’t agreed to terms with Jimmy Song the bet he made at a blockchain conference earlier this year.  Maybe he finally will now that the platform just got more versatile.

Just some stuff to think over guys. As always do your own research but the time leading up to the next halving has always shown a rise in price. You might say yeah but the price is way down from ATH, well the rise follows a logarithmic scale.

Also the next LiteCoin halving is this summer. :Chirp:

I get my info from a ton of different sources and from people with vastly different ideas and opinions. I make my own conclusion, and I always preface anything I saw here with “do your own research”.

On the technical side tho I do consider myself an expert.

You posted this as some slight on crypto.  The honest crypto’s proved before this article that Quadriga was lying.  The system worked as it should and proves this was a negligent company, this has nothing to do with crypto being a bad system.  I’ve said privately this is a win for crypto since this thing came out, the system worked as designed and proved the blockchain doesn’t lie.

I run several full nodes for a couple different cryptos and tonight was upgrade night.  I'm thinking about writing an automatic updater that has a configurable time frame.  I'm a stickler for stable releases for this kind of stuff, and usually I give 3 months after a stable release before I upgrade, I was a little behind this cycle.  Obviously the bug last fall was a no-brainer to upgrade immediately but if you run multiple nodes there's got to be an easier way.  Maybe there is, I just haven't looked that hard yet.

Just some stuff to think over guys. As always do your own research but the time leading up to the next halving has always shown a rise in price. You might say yeah but the price is way down from ATH, well the rise follows a logarithmic scale.

Also the next LiteCoin halving is this summer. :Chirp:

I'll take a drop to 5-6k for a few months before it shoots to a million. Going all in, fomo too strong.

ITK friend says 25k this year, and 2021 is the big year. Just his best guess though.

Privacy.  I get notifications when my transaction was included in a block.  The blocks have timestamps.  Obfuscating the hour and first digit of time makes the possible blocks my transaction was included in almost impossible to figure out which block had my transaction.  There is no need to do the 8 or AM at that point.

A single address doesn’t give away what you own but do it enough times and a profile can be created.  Every “coin “can be followed back to its origin and followed forward in time.

I figured with the timestamp guess I was more curious why not just one big redaction vs. specifically only two digits.  Not every efficient use of your time :D

could just have easily went down, this is like bragging about winning a coinflip, or assuming btc is overall going to be a positive, a 55-45 at best coinflip. scrubs like us can't predict these short term swings, if we could, we'd be rich already. unless you're a millionaire then brag away.

all i know is it seems like it's winning so i'm going to hodl.

thoughts on trying to remain anonymous? bitcoin mixers? is there a day that comes when software evolves to where it can link every transaction to someone?

Oh yeah I want to remain anonymous with my balances.  I’ve used bitcoin mixing for a long time.  Most exchanges track coins several steps before a coin enters their market and several steps after it leaves.  Breaking that link is important.

I don’t even buy anything on Coinbase anymore, just use CashApp.  I still actively trade on Coinbase Pro but always mix coins when they leave the exchange.  There are companies that all they do is chain analysis and link people to addresses, Coinbase even bought one and got a ton of flack for it.  The company had people who actively committed cyber crime in the past, so it was warranted.

If you want to do mixing that is a little easier than doing it yourself, I suggest doing coinjoins through Wasabi Wallet.  There is a min to even be queued for a coinjoin tho, so you need at least like ~.1-.2 Bitcoin.

Holy rough ridin' crap. I know it’s 45 min long, but if you guys have even once valued your freedom, watch this. Andreas is the best at what he does, and I know some of you guys have complained about his voice, but watch this.

I haven’t done this ever, but I texted out this video to everyone I have ever talked to about Bitcoin. It’s that important and if you watch it and don’t come away with anything, fine, but it’s a talk that might be source footage in the future. It’s that important.

Cash App is the best way right now for beginners. Go to your App Store and download it. You will have to go through some KYC stuff like any financial institution. Should be able to buy and withdraw within a day or so.

Or, just download BRD Wallet and I can send you some and you just Venmo/PayPal/etc me the exchange rate.

I only hold Bitcoin.  Bitcoin Core is just what the code repository is called.  Bitcoin Cash(Bcash) is run by scammers.  I would highly avoid Bcash.

The scammers prey on the uneducated and honesty the veterans of this space too. It’s so hard sometimes to recognize a scam when a new service comes out. First movers can sometimes take a ton of profit, but they can also lose it all.

This is the kind of stuff that makes BTC look bad but when it happens in fiat everyone is already numb to it. Damage now but it will be just a random headline in a few months.

Here’s the main article for stock to flow as it relates to the halvings.

https://medium.com/@100trillionUSD/modeling-bitcoins-value-with-scarcity-91fa0fc03e25

In the past halvings the price was the highest roughly a year and half AFTER the halving actually happens. Price going up before the halving is anticipation of the halving itself. Simple economics of supply/demand validate why the price goes up because of the halvings.

Ok well based on your specific scenario this will make it the easiest.  Assuming you want to cash it out.  If you want to keep it in Bitcoin we can go another route.

No that doesn’t work. Cash App allows you to buy/sell bitcoin, Venmo doesn’t. So you either need to download it or sign up on an exchange.

So, my BTC is up 13% since whenever I bought it in December. When is this halving event and when should I sell?

Right now it will happen in the middle of May. Could vary depending on how much hash rate is added between now and then.


https://bitcoinblockhalf.com

As far as selling BTC hit a new all time high about a year and half after each of the previous two halvings.  The S2F model says it will reach 100k sometime between now and Dec 2021.

STILL nothing. This confirms what I have known for a long time. You are in the same category as Dax.  It’s an outrage factor, Peter Schiff is in the same boat.  You don’t understand the big picture, it’s a moment reaction that you hope brings a reaction.  It’s really disappointed having met you and realizing now what you are.

I have a $100 bet in NV from this summer for the chiefs to win the SB at +650 so I'm probably going to put the $300 I have in my bovada account on SF +1.5 to hedge it.

Really hope the chiefs just win so I don't have to worry about trying to cash out my bovada money. If the chiefs only win by 1 tho... :Wha:

Hey guyz, ben ji here. Remember when I made fun of everyone for crypto? Sorry about that, now i'm hoping you super stud crypto guyz can help me out.

I have a couple of hundred dollars in my bovada account and the only free way to withdraw it is with bitcoin($100 fee for check or wire transfer).

Can someone ELI5 how to setup a wallet and how I would then transfer the money to an actual bank account after its in the wallet? I might just leave it in bitcoin and YOLO with you cool buds but want to cover all my bases.

Do you have CashApp?

No

Ok well based on your specific scenario this will make it the easiest.  Assuming you want to cash it out.  If you want to keep it in Bitcoin we can go another route.

I have venmo if that works

No that doesn’t work. Cash App allows you to buy/sell bitcoin, Venmo doesn’t. So you either need to download it or sign up on an exchange.

What is the best/most trusted exchange to get set up on? I just need to transfer a couple hundred from my Bovada account to a "wallet". Once its there I will leave about half in Bitcoin and withdraw the rest.

Thanks!

The easiest would be either using Cash App or CoinBase. I don’t recommend ever leaving your BTC on the exchange longer than a few days max, but for simplicity sake you could. Either Cash App or CoinBase you will have to do some KYC like any bank but they make it easy to buy/sell and transfer funds to and from your bank account.

I don’t follow Justin much because he is a scam artist and even admitted TRON is a shitcoin. However I think the whole issue here is that the community was tricked into implementing a hard fork instead of a soft fork. The change was made by a central governance to basically allow them to freeze certain assets. I know extremely little about STEEM but doesn’t look good for people who aren’t a part of the central governance.

This is why Bitcoin is different than all these other projects. It’s completely decentralized and you can’t have a central governance body that can freeze your assets. Yeah you can make money in these shitcoins and scammy projects but you can also get royally mumped. Which is what seems like is happening here.

I already said it in the investing thread but more than likely it because investors are selling to cover their losses. If you go back and look at the 2008 financial crisis gold went down as well. It eventually went back up but it’s viewed as this safe haven asset and even then it followed the markets. Bitcoin could be behaving in the same way, which is why it’s been called digital gold.

Look, this is the biggest financial social experiment ever with Bitcoin. It was created for the exact financial landscape we are getting into now tho. When the fed injects money through quantitative easing Bitcoin has gone up in the past. We are 2 months away from a major deflationary event for Bitcoin, and we just injected a massive amount of new money into the system. We have a history of massive price increases after the halvings. Simple economics of supply and demand come into play, regardless of anything else.

It’s going to be an interesting ride.

A month and a half ago we got below $4000 for a very small time. I bought.

We were up and down above and below $7000 for a month. I bought.

Less than 2 weeks to the next halving. eff yeah.

Again though, like I’ve been saying the past year and a half, the past 2 halvings the highest price came on average a year and a half AFTER the halving.

Hey, what's S2F multiple mean?

DaBigTrain is right in that there is alot of info out there alot better than I can provide, but I'll do my best to give a quick overview.

Stock-to-Flow (S2F) is basically an inverse measure of inflation. With an inflation rate, you are dividing new supply of good by existing supply of good (Flow/Stock). When calculating S2F ratio, simply flip inflation ratio (Stock/Flow). A high S2F basically indicates that the new supply of a good is a smaller fraction of the existing supply, perhaps having less leverage on price.

Higher inflation (low S2F) is seen in things like commodities (corn, beef, oil). Low inflation (high S2F) is seen in gold and eventually bitcoin as halving schedule progresses. Roughly every 4 years the halving event occurs, at which point the regularly issued block subsidies are cut in half for the next ~4 years. Eventually, the total number of bitcoins in supply asymptotically approaches 21 million- I believe around 18 million have been issued to this point.

The basic idea behind the S2F model is that increasing scarcity of BTC will drive the price up. Using historical data, pseudononymous PlanB on twitter has come up with a model which transforms the S2F ratio of bitcoin into a market cap of bitcoin, which can be easily divided into a bitcoin price (with some consideration for lost coins maybe or maybe not counted in stock). Since the BTC S2F is always increasing, it speculates that BTC price will always increase in the long term. The model has an extremely high coefficient of determination, around .99, but many theorize that there is a spurious relationship- lots of advanced statistical math workign to prove cointegration that I don't particularly understand.

Depending on which S2F model is being used, a target price prediction has been made at $55k, $100k, and $288k by Plan B for the next 4 year halving cycle. He inst attempting to predict an exact high price at an exact date, but says that the target price should have printed BTC prices on either side of it.

I don't really believe much in the model because I don't have the statistical background to confirm or debunk, but the leading statistical proponent of the model recently determined that it is probably BS. Whether the model is right or wrong, I do believe in bitcoin medium and long term so its fun to read the stories about it and get hype about the yachts we will buy.

Plan B article 1- $55k
https://medium.com/@100trillionUSD/modeling-bitcoins-value-with-scarcity-91fa0fc03e25

Plan B article 2- less about S2F, interesting stuff about bitcoin portfolio sharpe ratios
https://medium.com/@100trillionUSD/efficient-market-hypothesis-and-bitcoin-stock-to-flow-model-db17f40e6107

Plan B article 3- $288k
https://medium.com/@100trillionUSD/bitcoin-stock-to-flow-cross-asset-model-50d260feed12

I cant find where he predicted $100k- might have just been on twitter.

I read this a while back and hadn’t posted it anywhere but thought I would share my opinion. During the last big run in Dec 2017 was the first time Bitcoin moved more than $1000 in a single day. That was the peak of the bull run. This time, like what I read a while back will be the first time Bitcoin moves more than $10,000 in a single day. At that point I think we will see the new ATH at the very top.

Pretty good listen if you are already interested and decently versed in bitcoin and S2F model. Livera is my favorite bitcoin podcaster- and the guest is PlanB of the S2F model as well as Saifedean Ammous, well regarded Austrian economist and author of The Bitcoin Standard, which I recommend to anyone who shows even a tangential interest in bitcoin. PlanB is on Livera podcast 1 or two other times before, worth the listen in those instances too. He finally started pronouncing “scarce” in the American way this time!

I knew I had it bookmarked...

Linked tweet discusses similar idea. Pretty mind blowing to think of any asset increasing by $10,000 in one day, though I’m sure the idea of BTC increasing by $1000 in a day was insane just a few years ago.

Great point about it occurring near the top- in the past the bulk of the price gain has happened in only a very short period as the price goes parabolic after a long and slow climb. Timing when to get out is even harder than timing when to get in imo. Makes the idea of a long term hodl very appealing.

Pretty good drop here %wise.

Buying more? I’m debating.

Always. I always have some cash set aside so I can buy whenever. Never pull the trigger on all of it at once because you never know, it could go lower.

DaBigTrain, I just went back and read some of the earlier posts in this thread. Are you still bullish on LTC at this point?

I personally hold 85% BTC, 15% ETH. No LTC, but there isn't a real reason for it. Debating adding a little exposure there.

No, not at all.  I converted anything I had outside out Bitcoin to Bitcoin over a year ago.  PlanB did S2F for LTC and there was no correlation whatsoever, and nothing came after their halving either.  Since I converted the LTC I had to BTC it has lost 75% of it's worth compared to BTC.

What platform are you using to buy/sell/store your bitcoin?

I was using Coinbase because it was easy and I was making minimal transactions (not trading).

However, I have never been fond of the large fees and with the recent news of their deal with the IRS and DEA, I am less inclined to hold it there. What are some other options and how big of a pain in the ass will it be to transfer from my Coinbase account?

I use multiple platforms for buying/selling/storing my Bitcoin.  For the most part I have a complete separation between all 3 of those activities.  I only do buys on CashApp and Gemini right now.  I only sell through Coinbase Pro(trading platform owned by Coinbase).  I have multiple wallets depending on what its purpose is for(long term storage, trading, Bitcoin I keep on me at all times).  This helps protect a little more from companies that do chainalysis.

For long term storage I would look at either a Trezor or a Ledger.

Trezor: https://trezor.io/

Ledger: https://www.ledger.com/

For a simple paper wallet on your phone there are a number of different apps, use an independent location(not the Coinbase app as it still actually resides in a Coinbase address).  I use BRD for the Bitcoin I keep on me at all times on my phone(Seed and Private Key is generated on device and never leaves your phone), never know when you will need some spendable Bitcoin.

Coinbase makes it easy but they are in complete control of your private keys, and most exchanges only have a handful of addresses they keep everyones Bitcoin in.  They just have a traditional database that keeps track of everyones balance.

As far as transferring it off Coinbase it is very simple.  Do one of the options I had above for how you want to store your Bitcoin and write down your seed phrase.  It will be 12-16 random words that provide the corresponding integer values needed to generate a Private Key.  Once you write this down store it somewhere safe and don't show anyone you don't want to have control of your Bitcoin, and NEVER put it online anywhere.  This will allow you to recover your Bitcoin if your device/wallet database/etc is ever corrupted or destroyed.

Next there will be either a "Generate Bitcoin Address" or a "Receive" option in whatever wallet implementation you chose.  Email/Text yourself the address so you have it exactly correct(never freehand copy) and go to either the Coinbase website or the Coinbase app on your phone.  There will be a "send" option, at this point enter a very small amount of Bitcoin you want to send.  This should only be a couple dollars worth.  Next paste in the address that you email/texted to yourself and send it.  Wait for the transaction to hit your new wallet of choice.  Once you see that the transaction was successful and you have a balance in your new wallet you can send all or more of the amount you have on Coinbase.  I recommend always doing this on bigger amounts.  I never recommend you ever keep anything on the exchanges, yeah it's convenient but you aren't in control of your money.

Hopefully that helps.

Right now it's still just a financial issue, because people are being scammed out of their BTC.  These "give away" or matching tactics are a pretty common crypto scam that scams people who don't know any better out of BTC.  However, this is a giant security risk in general because most of these accounts that are posting this stuff had 2 factor authentication on.  A hacker is using some vulnerability to post from verified accounts en mass to a crap load of people by bypassing 2 factor authentication.  It's just financial now but what if they post from a ranking official or Trump's account about some political/economic thing or announcing we are going to nuke North Korea?  I mean this is bad.

I say just buy and hodl bby... no need to get cute with your allocation by trying to leverage up

The volatility inherent in bitcoin already gives you an insane asymmetric risk/reward profile basically unheard of in traditional equity markets

But if you can make money with leverage/options, more power to you I guess

Yeah I think that is a good idea. The one thing that is now undeniable is that bitcoin is increasingly tied to the stock market, so if you think there is another big sell off coming (or even just a 10-15% sell off) then you should start a position now and then be ready to come back in with the rest when that happens. I see this playing out as similar to last time with it topping out around 16-20 and then flash crashing and slowly building again for another few years.

Why not just use Shapeshift or Changelly?

They don't have this one alt I'm looking for (LINK). Thx for the info on EtherDelta though friend

I had never heard of ChainLink but it sounds interesting from the little bit I just read.  Have you read the white paper on it?

Shocked it failed again at $12,000, get ready for another few weeks of consolidation. But Unfortunately, BTC is really highly correlated with the stock market now.

I’m just telling you, save some fiat currency for when the stock market sells off and buy the dip in BTC if you still love it. Don’t plow in when it sneaks past $12,000 thinking you are getting the start of a big move.

I did in the $370 range but yeah, super low. The underlying asset is better than gold, and its fixed supply. We are still SO early, I trust the model and am not looking short term, which I have been very clear about. Believe what you want but buying at any price now will pay off in the future.

I am NOT a gold bug, but I think most people would agree that gold has more intrinsic value than BTC. There is a very long history of gold as both a currency and jewelry. It may lose 50% of its value over a 10 year window, but it won’t be worthless.

BTC is very new so no one really knows what will happen, but if you think fiat currencies are worthless, I don’t see how people believe BTC has inherent value. One theory I regularly hear is that fiat currencies are dying and that BTC will overtake countries currencies as a store of value. This seems extremely unlikely, mostly because bitcoin doesn’t have nuclear weapons backing it and every government would have a strong incentive to outlaw BTC if it began to actually threaten their currency. “Well, actually that won’t work because of the blockchain!” This severely underestimated the power of governments to control transactions, infrastructure and banking and those controls aren’t going anywhere and if anything are getting stronger.

It is obviously an intriguing investment and congrats on your early investment. I just don’t know that having more than 5% of your money in it is wise at all as I view it as speculation and the volatility of it cuts strongly against it as a “store of value” and everyone is obviously piling in to it because they think it will continue to go up in price.

Right now, oh yeah the vast majority of people agree that gold has more intrinsic value.  Like I said we are SO early in the era of Bitcoin.  It's already hard enough to truly get(I mean from a technical and cryptography standpoint) Bitcoin because there is so much to know.  Bitcoin may gain or lose a ton of value but it is also not going to zero.

People believe BTC has inherent value because it has all the properties that gold has that make gold the best form of money we've ever had.  Gold has a couple of keys properties that make it good money, and why every successful civilization that sustained it were using gold as a form of money.  Ever since we and the rest of the world got off the gold standard we have left it to governments to regulate our money supply.  When you don't have something backing your money and you keep issuing it it loses value, I don't need to get into why.  If governments have runaway inflation they will have to go back to having their money backed by a reserve currency or using that reserve currency as their money.  The thought is that because Bitcoin has the same and better properties as gold governments will use BTC as their reserve currency instead of gold if they go back to a reserve currency model.  Governments and financial institutions are already starting to see the value of Bitcoin and are using it more, not less.  I have recommended it before but read The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous, it's a book about Bitcoin that only talks about Bitcoin for about 10% of the book.  I think it should be mandatory reading just to give people a history of money in general.

Eventually the volatility will subside and it will be a true store of value IMO.  Bitcoin is not going away so not having a decent piece in your portfolio is a mistake IMO.

So is there I guess for lack of a better word fear for China's rollout of blockchain currency affecting BTC? Or that's like different markets?

I don't see any fear in it.  Having the state roll out something like that would have a lot of influence but there is still an incentive to mine BTC in China.  There is a ton of mining power within China and even if the Chinese Government gave some incentive to power their network you would still have people mining BTC.  If China cuts off the miners some how(almost impossible) the operations would just shift to other countries.

What that article is trying to imply is we are burning way more fossil fuels to power the hashrate. Which is blatantly not true. I’ve posted articles about this before and sys has weighed in, but a vast majority is excess energy or hydroelectric power. The higher the hash rate the more secure the network is, and the higher the price goes.

Just thought the visualization of electrical energy for Bitcoin mining was interesting. I didn't know it was to that capacity. Stuff like this too.

https://www.zdnet.com/article/hackers-now-mining-cryptocurrency-by-invading-ad-networks/
Even with millions of micro energy CPUs it’s still a waste of time for mining Bitcoin(only profitable with ASICs). I’ve posted articles about this too but this article was for Monero, which changes their mining ring signatures algorithm every 6 months to prevent ASICs anyway.

If someone tried to use browsers for Bitcoin mining it would be noticible immediately. The computers would get hot, slow, and the amount of effort to infect a computer to mine .000001 BTC would not be worth a hackers time.

BTC is in a world all it’s own security wise.

Just invest evenly across the top 5 coins to diversify your risk a bit.  Most of the well established coins in the top of the charts on volume have different use cases anyway.

I’d like to hear more about this.  Aren’t they highly correlated?

I think it is difficult to imagine bitcoin failing and one of the other top 5 taking its place, i think of a coin over takes bitcoin it probably doesn’t exist yet (most likely a state backed coin or corporate backed coin).

ETH -is a platform for smart contracts, you are seeing defi being executed at scale right now on it and other projects  being developed with that idea in mind.

BTC- anti inflationary store of value, can be used for transactions but the fees and speed of transactions are becoming increasingly more prohibitive for this

XRP- primarily aimed at cross border transfers to augment or replace SWIFT by offering near instant settlements at a fraction of the price of current system.  Think banks and money transfer companies like MoneyGram.

LTC-  I believe the mantra is still to be the coin of everyday transactions but this is probably the one I know least about and doesn’t really get as much attention as it used to.

Post by: Purple Derpathy on November 17, 2020, 08:52:47 AM
So at what point do all you bitcoin owners feel the need to rebalance your portfolio as bitcoin continues to climb? Most investors are only comfortable putting a certain percentage of total portfolio into crypto. Obviously, as bitcoin continues to increase significantly in price, the distribution of your portfolio starts to become more weighted in bitcoin. Do you sell some off to lock in gains and rebalance or enjoy the ride up?

Ride it up. If Bitcoin doubled in price tomorrow to 35k (and my percent allocation in my portfolio therefore spiked as well), I would still be certain that Bitcoin would provide better returns than nearly any other financial instrument in the medium/long term.

I may sell some at some point in the future, but that will be a response to predicted price action due to euphoric market mania, rather than a desire to decrease my percent exposure. Put another way, if my exposure was 99% today at $17k, I would keep it there because I know a golden bull run is coming. If my exposure was 20% at $250k with signs of a top imminent, I would sell some for cash.

I'm at the point where I feel I missed the good window, so I'm going to tell myself it isn't worth it now (I guess I'm not convinced BC has longevity, so I may be an idiot on that). Def wish I would have bought in earlier then whenever I have a big purchase (car, house) could have sold off some of those coins.

My recommendation would be to slowly add. Basically, dollar cost averaging. It is so volatile right now it could easily hit $20K or $14K tomorrow. I'd just commit to throwing in a small amount each day until you hit your target amount.

It may feel 'late', but it's not like we've blown by the all-time high. We're still ~15% off that. With the crazy projections people are throwing around, this is still the bottom floor in a lot of ways. It does suck knowing that in March we could have all bought more at $4K.......

LOL this shitcoin rally is just people profit taking BTC and dumping it into other things temporarily.

I admit I did dump a lot of BTC today, but that cash is just sitting idle waiting for a dip.

LOL at actually thinking anything other than BTC has staying power and worth investing in.

I'm happy for you guys in XRP and other but LOL at it being a long term thing.
DBT!!!!!!!!

Hey pm me, I want to text u some questions about my ledger.

Bold move on selling.  I've been tempted to sell some as well with the intent of buying on a pullback. Problem is, we haven't even broken the all-time high and that pullback may not happen or may not be as great as it needs to be in order to warrant me selling off. I've ultimately decided the risk of me selling now and it continuing to move higher is not worth the opportunity of making a few thousand if it were to drop back to $16K or somewhere in that neighborhood. Obviously, BTC were to fall to $10K I'd be kicking myself for not unloading.

Looks like BTC is going to trade sideways for a bit which is fine by me. Need some good consolidation at this level before jumping above $20K. Volume has definitely picked up today (at least on CoinbasePro).

Flare is going to operate their spark token on the XRPL much like chain link does on ETH and are giving the initial offering of the 100 BN exclusively to XRP holders as of the snapshot on December 12.  Speculation is 2 or 3 spark per XRP will be airdropped to those who participated over the next 12-18 months.

XRPL - so is this like their layer 2 scaling solution like Lightning Network? Or just a smart contract platform like Ethereum running on top of XRP?

What benefit does this bring, and what prevents Ripple from just unlocking more XRP, selling, and tanking the value?
Title: Re: Cryptocurrency Master Thread
Post by: wetwillie on November 29, 2020, 09:26:16 PM
Yes smart contract platform running on top of XRP.  Not sure about value of smart contracts but from what I understand flare believes using them on the XRPL is faster and cheaper than ETH.  Ripple could definitely go against their current practice and flood the market with more of their escrowed XRP but it would likely kill their own company by eliminating the only revenue source they currently have.

Gotcha.

See, this is where I have a problem with companies like Ripple who have this centralized model.  They could completely liquidate their company, earning every single one of their employees a massive payout from dumping on everyone else who is bought in.  Their only revenue source now is dumping the XRP that they created by just unlocking it from their "escrow" account anyway.  Hopefully it works out for you but that just screams red flag.

This is why Bitcoin was created. It’s been over 11 years since we were in a similar financial situation. If this move fails the fed has nothing left in the chamber. Bitcoin, 2 months before the halving is primed and the stage is set. This is what it was designed to hedge against.


https://twitter.com/alistairmilne/status/1239296370097479682
Then why is Bitcoin essentially tracking the major indexes?
I already said it in the investing thread but more than likely it because investors are selling to cover their losses. If you go back and look at the 2008 financial crisis gold went down as well. It eventually went back up but it’s viewed as this safe haven asset and even then it followed the markets. Bitcoin could be behaving in the same way, which is why it’s been called digital gold.

Look, this is the biggest financial social experiment ever with Bitcoin. It was created for the exact financial landscape we are getting into now tho. When the fed injects money through quantitative easing Bitcoin has gone up in the past. We are 2 months away from a major deflationary event for Bitcoin, and we just injected a massive amount of new money into the system. We have a history of massive price increases after the halvings. Simple economics of supply and demand come into play, regardless of anything else.

It’s going to be an interesting ride.

Need more advice for dumb dumbs like me.

So I guess there's this airdrop thingy for XRP to get some new Spark coins or whatever and that sounds nice I guess except supposedly no snapshot of Coinbase (where I have my XRP) will be done so like no fun free Spark coins for me. Unless I move it. But how do I move it and to where. Talk to me like I'm 3, I deserve it.

Coinbase is going to honor the snapshot now, they capitulated a few days ago.  Kraken is probably a better option but the snapshot is in 48 hours or so, and you may get screwed over if you try to transfer it over on such short notice. Spark will likely be available on exchanges initially for .01 or so price range so if you want more it’s going to likely be super cheap to buy anyway.

If you have a substantial amount of crypto, whatever you deem substantial to be, I'd invest in a hardware device and offload from exchanges.  I have the nano ledger X.

I don't have a lot in crypto, I put most of my money in tangible investments. I've self educated myself in that sector so I know what I'm doing. Crypto? Not so much. All that said, I asked for a crypto wallet for Christmas!  :crossfingers:

Probably right. In a way, they are almost legitimizing crypto of they tax the gains because they are acknowledging it as currency and not an asset. As an example, they don't tax you on gold you may own if the price escalates (to my knowledge anyway). They would tax you on gains once you convert to cash (again, from what I've been told, I'm not a tax expert).

Yea, it feels terrible investing large sums of money at this level or really anything above $15K. I'm tempted to add more, but if I do, it will be small incremental purchases each week. That being said, dollar cost averaging seems crappy when I made my big buys a while ago so I'd be doing nothing but increasing my average purchase price at these levels.

I'm still stuck on wondering what % of my investments should be in Bitcoin. As the price has gone up, my portfolio has gone out of whack in a good way to Bitcoin. Most folks advise 1-2%, but that ain't putting much skin in the game unless you have an 8 figure portfolio.

I only have a few thousand in crypto as a whole, so it won't make or break me. I just don't understand it well enough to make informed decisions. Without informed decisions, the risk goes up exponentially and takes me out of my comfort zone to put much into it.

On the flip side, theoretically the crypto I have money in could make big jumps for a nice upside.

Of course, my dad was pumping XRP in an email to me back in November.

Example.  If you had some $$'s now, invested some time in research, figured out how to set up a crypto currency account, and bought some XRP at 55 cents (about what it is now) you might make some bank.

It’s bullish for XRP, the precedent is already set legally for it to be a currency.  It will either get settled or the incoming SEC commissioner will drop the case.

Not sure what your long term plans are but this is just a road bump.  Ripple the company is rich AF and has the best lawyers that used to be SEC regulators.   Also every other 1st world country has already deemed XRP a currency, just a matter of time before that is the case in the US as well.

That's good to know. Long term plans are probably just let it marinate and see what happens lol. So I'll either lose it all or wait until I've made a decent profit.

You're probably right. But maybe a better answer for me is to not invest in things I don't understand. It's amateur investing. But it's ok, I'm not in very deep and if either xrp or btc goes ape crap through the roof then great.

SD has the right answer but I’ll expand on it a bit.

I haven’t talked about it recently but have extensively over the past few years but Lightning Network is how you scale. Devs have been building it out, a lot of things happen on the layer 2 network, then you only settle it on chain when you close a LN channel. This reduces transactions on the blockchain and increases bandwidth at the same time.

Liquid is another form of a layer 2 scaling solution that exchanges can use to move BTC around, again reduces on chain transactions and increasing bandwidth. It will get to the point where this will all be abstracted away and users won’t know or care. It’s how stuff on the internet just works, what’s actually happening behind the scenes is abstracted away and protocol switching happens under the hood.

Why do you think it’s called digital gold? Gold is expensive and slow to move, but it has a store of value. So you only move it if it’s worth it with that in mind. Bitcoin is better than gold tho because you can move billions of dollars worth, anywhere in the world quickly, for a tiny amount of money.

That’s why you store gold as a reserve and we used to peg paper money and coins as our daily exchange of it. Think of Lightning Network as the paper money or coins layer for Bitcoin.

I know there are loads of "coulda bought bitcoin when" stories, but I used to always read about it in Gawker and definitely looked into it 2013/14ish. It seemed too complicated to buy, though, and $400 or so per bitcoin was a bit more than I would have liked to have spent. The biggest reason I bought in 2017 by far is that I would have regretted missing a second opportunity.

Simple supply and demand.  The halving matters.  Now imagine when it gets cut in half again in 3.5 years.

Feels good being apart of the same sentiment as large players.  I did sell some of my trading balance over $29k and did buy some small dips.  With this strength I figured it wasn’t worth chancing it, so while I gained some sats, largely still same position I bought and moved off the exchange again.  Gonna be parked for awhile before I think of trading again.

Have all of my BTC on Coinbase and CoinbasePro. Got a Nano over Christmas and just started to move it off Coinbase. However, Coinbase is putting a 72 hour wait/freeze on my transfer for security purposes or some BS.  Just one of the reasons I wanted to move off that platform.  Definitely a lot of BTC being moved off Coinbase recently.

I've been on Coinbase for a while. A few years ago, they used to make it impossible to move any decent sums of money without there being a holding period or max 24 hour withdrawal amount.

I don't plan on selling for a while (one of reasons I've got the Nano now), but I did download their Ledger Live app and exchange app. Quite a drastic difference in price between it and Coinbase (~$300/coin).  Will be something to note if I ever plan on selling.

Nah but I would feel awful if the IRS got a hold of BTC and killed this great internet manifest that we all have come to know and love.

Do the current tax laws for crypto not count for you? This isn't a trick I swear

Trading volume is nearly double of anything I've ever previously seen. Will be interesting to see if we hold above $30K. If we don't, it could be a death spiral down to $20K. We basically jumped from 20K to 40K with little accumulation in between.

A British man who accidentally threw out a hard drive with a trove of bitcoin on it is once again urging local city officials to let him search for it in a landfill site.
...
Howells says he had 7,500 bitcoins which, at today’s prices, would be worth more than $280 million. He says the only way to regain access to it would be through the hard drive he threw in the trash eight years ago.

So after reading through crypto twitter the sell off yesterday was just stupid.  It amounted to 3 different things.

First Faketoshi(Craig Wright) filed some patent thing again falsely saying he created it and that he “owns” the Bitcoin white paper. Which is just ridiculous.

Second, there was some very irresponsible reporting of a critical bug called a “double spend”.  There are orphaned blocks all the time lol.  The blockchain worked correctly and a double spend was what it solved to begin with.  Again just ridiculous.

Third more regulation talk from Yellen and the Biden admin.  Again, ridiculous and is actually probably gonna be good long term.

Here’s a pro crypto move I’ve perfected. Buy it low and sell it right before it goes down again. Then buy it low again. Then high, low, high, etc.

I sold all my BTC at a hefty profit of $40.  Will probably buy again when it's lower.  Seems like it can't go much higher.

Crypto dilemma and need some serious advice. Have only been in the crypto game for about 48 hours and am up around $900 off a not super big investment. Part of me thinks this is too easy to make money and will get really boring really quick and then part of me thinks that regardless of how easy and lame it is I should probably just keep doing it. Idk but have any of you guys done it for more than a day or two? Are there any crypto things that are interesting or challenging? I do not know a ton about it yet but could just see myself getting super bored and quitting in a few days if this keeps up and am up 2k by the weekend. Kind of like playing one on one vs a 5 yr old so far.

As long as it continues trading in this fairly defined range you will crush. I’ve bought in and out a lot. Eventually it’ll gap up or down out of that range and I could miss it though.

I got out of 60% of my XRP.  At this point I just left profits in there from that currency so if it wants to go worthless, meh.

I’m more bullish than I’ve ever been after just finishing this podcast. I met Jimmy(podcast host) at the Bitcoin conference I went to 2 years ago. PlanB is the economist who came out with the stock to flow model for Bitcoin that I’ve been posting about since it came out 2 years ago. It’s the main reason I converted all my non-Bitcoin crypto to Bitcoin almost 2 years ago.

The S2F model is what predicted this current price increase cycle. If you listen to one podcast about Bitcoin, this is the one you should listen to.

If it’s just throw away money then hang on to it, I think it’s going higher.  If you do want to sell Uphold is the only place you will be able to right now.

My original purchase was a couple thousand in the upper 50 cent range. Not sure what that left me after the fees exactly. Currently only about 2700, so it's like if I sell I don't really get that much after fees and ultimately taxes. But if I do I could theoretically buy a bunch more xrp if it falls back to 40 cents or whatever.

Supply and demand? It’s been super low volume. Which given the fundamentals, makes me SO bullish in the future.

So I do, on larger amounts.

CashApp makes it so much more liquid. So I can go $2000 transfers in a single day, so if I need cash it’s so easy. CashApp limits cash transfers to $5000 a week. So if I need to do more, I do Coinbase Pro.

I also look at the fees. CashApp generally had higher fees, but they make it more liquid. For higher amount($10k+) it’s lower. So just depending on what I need I have an exchange of choice.

FLR is the spark token you got for holding XRP at the snapshot, you setup your ETH wallet on your ledger to get it.  Should drop 15% of your allotted total in June.  Most in the XRP community think it will be as valuable or even more than XRP.  I'll try to remind you when it happens but you can actually mint your XFLR(Spark)you get from the airdrop to get YFLR in the first week of the air drop, so you can get more free tokens.  The Flare Network will be what ETH is for defi running on the XRPL.

That's awesome dude. I'm not even close to that. Technically I'm around 3x from my original investment over 6 months. But, it's really less than that because of the original fees coinbase charged when I bought. Uphold is getting hacked right now so I don't know exactly what amount I have now assuming it hasn't been transferred to Ukraine.

In any event, I can't complain about that since it's only been around 1/2 a year since I've been in this. BTC has more than doubled since I bought that too, so it's all been kind to me. But my investment amount isn't a whole lot so nothing life changing even if the % returns have been excellent.

So postmortem analysis of the crash last night is pointing to about 3 things.

First was a coal mining incident in China led to about ~21% of the hashpower of the Bitcoin network going offline. More of a precaution type of thing to inspect equipment and stuff.

Second was a rumor of several large financial institutions being investigated for using crypto to launder money.

Third and most significant was because of the first two the price was going lower and it triggered about ~$10 billion in long margin liquidations. Sounds like a bunch of people were way over leveraged and just got rough ridin' rekt.

To your third point, exchanges are feeding margin positions to large players similar to robinhood feeding order flow to hedge funds.  Seeing a bunch of highly leveraged long positions is like fresh meat in the lions cage.

Sometimes I wish I could start investing in other Crypto besides Bitcoin, but then I realize there is really no point. I don't have life changing money (yet) in Bitcoin, but it's worth enough to allow me to retire a few years early.

I will live and die with BTC so throwing a couple grand in some other crypto is futile at this point unless I think it is going to 100X.

Part of what makes me refrain from buying/selling more frequently is the damn transaction fees. I've probably paid $3K in transaction fees the past few years. What platform offers lowest fees? I'm using Coinbase Pro right now. It's 0.25% of the purchase/sale price. Is there any other platform with lower fees or just a fixed fee regardless of transaction amount?

I haven’t heard much recently about so idk. This is a chart of the past year. It will recover as the price continues to increase. We are still about $10k below the ATH so may take until we get back into the $60k range for it to be profitable again for some miners.

Canadian friend of mine lucked into a bag of mantic before it shot up. Also and I probably don’t understand this all but btc kind of scares the crap out of me and I don’t know that I’ll ever purchase it again. Anyone can make a coin and call it currently. Take doge for example. Elon and Cuban pump it and people buy it. That means that there are now less people buying btc and I believe (have no idea) that it has absolutely effected the price/lack of gains over the past few weeks. What happens when jake Paul comes up with his own coin or if republicans decide they are anti btc and come up with a freedom fighter coin. crap there are sports teams now that already have coins. Eth and eth related products seem like a safer long term play. Someone smarter please tell me why I’m wrong.

The nerds I have talked to say BTC has some unique advantages, #1 being it was first to market and has major brand recognition.

Other than that it has a defined, finite supply. So while you can argue over whether it’s worth jack as an actual currency, it’s also an attractive and obvious option to replace gold as a worldwide, fixed standard of worth and a solid hedge against inflation.

Ethereum is attractive due to its functionality I think, but I also have no reason to believe it wouldn’t co-exist with BTC. Other coins could serve niche purposes too.

Dogecoin as far as I can tell is just a prime example of what unregulated markets can give you.

But I've still only been buying ETH for like the last month. I didn't sell any BTC, just quit adding to it.

I also am still suspicious of blockfi since it has a definite too good to be true aura about it.
I was saying that to kk just the other day.

It also goes against the entire premise of having control of your money and not having some third party have custody of it. If you actually believe in what Bitcoin was created for tho, I guess.

You can look at the investors that are lined up behind blockfi and compare them to whatever was behind a Turkish crypto shop and they aren’t comparable at all. The only real risk is that they cut the interest rate at some point. I also don’t see that happening in the near term, but whatever.

Sounds like tel is still probably is one. It’s up like 400% in the last week though. Starting to feel pretty bad for not figuring out how to get money in the account I created on KuCoin just to buy it. I also think matic is probably going to go up a bunch on the next week/few months. It just has to.

These are people who rigorously study the specific subjects they are discussing within a higher education program. EXCEPT BLOCKCHAIN. Here are what the blockchain participants studied:

The undergraduate student studies economics and finance
The graduate student studies economics
Expert #1 studied political science and is now a Silicon Valley startup guru or something
Expert #2 is a communications professor

I just don’t see btc catching back up though and reversing what has gone on the last two years. Defi seems like the future. Btc will be a huge part in it etc but growth seems to lie in other places. Btc seems like a safe ok annual rate of return thing. Am I wrong? I mean I kind of assume I might be but I also kind of think I’m right.

I now own 1,254 MATIC based on lord daris%u2019 proclamation!

Yay this will be fun. We can be matic/polygon bros together. It currently still accumulating after its retracement following a moon shot last week. Formed a bullish flag though and we should have another take off within the week. <- elite crypto lingo was used in this post*
Damnit, now I am kicking myself for not putting big money in this thing. Rick daris, thank you for your work ITT.

Eth has been outperforming btc for a couple years now though. I read something the other day that compared 30k invested in btc vs 30k in eth in early 2020. Eth would now be worth a million and btc would be like 600k.

This is true, certainly needed after losing so much net worth compared to BTC

https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/ETHBTC/

I just don’t see btc catching back up though and reversing what has gone on the last two years. Defi seems like the future. Btc will be a huge part in it etc but growth seems to lie in other places. Btc seems like a safe ok annual rate of return thing. Am I wrong? I mean I kind of assume I might be but I also kind of think I’m right.
Changing the title to the crypto gambling thread was a very good move. Really reflects the new sentiments ITT.

You think DeFi and L2 scaling fixes are gambling? I mean we are talking about actual businesses with actual business contracts here and not doge or moonrocketsafecoin. If anything, I would argue that btc people are the ones who are currently gambling. Matic is going to be used on every import into Egypt starting in July for example.

it was .72 thursday and then 1.06 saturday and then everything just flash dropped an hour ago and it was all the way back down to .78 for five minutes. now an hour later and it's back up to .88 and climbing. i don't think it will really get much/any less than it is right now but anything could happen.

I meant until they start regulating. Although now that I think of it, with Tesla’s big cash position in BTC you wonder if the SEC would look at this as manipulating their own stock value.

if it 10x's from here i will consider not working for the next five years. no joke.

i don't think so but i also don't know that right now is the best time to buy. it just hit an all time high ($1.50) and will probably go back down for a bit before going back up again. also if anybody wants an absolute joy for 7 minutes of their lives every morning, i've watched this guy every day for the past week. he is my favorite part of the day now. he's canadian, has to drink water throughout or he'll burp a bunch and yesterday had his stepfather yell at him from down the hallway causing him to go to the door and talk back to the guy during his taping. he'll talk fib lines and EMAs for matic and eth. both are kind of tied together at this point.

He will have his own word password for the hardware wallet to store. I have a copy in a firebox and one in my work office. How he will normally get into the wallet will be a number pin to send or receive crypto. I think it's 8 digits. The words are the backup.

China has total control of the market, they can shut down miner operations, threaten to ban crypto, all while likely using their own govt to buy and sell the swings they create through panic.

LOL what a bunch of idiots.  From what I gather they sent the Bitcoin to some CoinBase and Binance addresses where the private keys were stored on servers in California and under US jurisdiction. Glad we got it back but those are some stupid hackers.

https://twitter.com/TheJusticeDept/status/1401990817783418883

Can that possibly be true? Like, this was a "hacker" group that held a pipeline company for ransom? Those same people transferred the coins to Coinbase? Were they then just going to have the money sent to their personal Chase bank accounts? These are either the dumbest "hackers" on the planet or I'm a bit dubious.

Maybe they were caught off guard after years of unsuccessful hacking attempts. They didn't expect the pipeline company ransom demand to work and went with the best option they could come up with on short notice.

I’m not being snarky, just generally curious about how someone like that would potentially go about liquidating it.  If I got several million in bitcoin illegally I’m not really sure how I would go about it.

Going through a highly regulated US publicly traded company definitely seems risky. Other than that I have no pointers for would be hackers.

They should pass the WTL proposed amendment and exclude miners and developers. The other amendment is stupid to not exclude developers. If you want to partially kill innovation in a great emerging industry then pass some stupid regulation by people who probably have issues creating an email account on their own.

Ledger is just physical device that interfaces with the blockchain network of the token you hold, your seed phrases would get you back into your ledger live on another physical ledger device.  If your family has your seed phrases they can get back into ledger live and send it from your wallet to an exchange to sell it.

I recently got back into ETH to diversify a little bit and also am going to buy some SOL today.  Someone I really respect mentioned SOL last November when the price was around $2 and I should have listened then, but better late than never I guess.  It's a gonna be a small position tho.

If you don't have any interest in trading it and just want to hold it, I think Ledger is a good option but Coinbase Pro is also good, it is just pretty trading focused.

Agree with SD on just about everything, but obviously it depends on your specific goals.

If you’re in it for relatively safe long term investment, I definitely think ETH and BTC are the way to go at the moment. Those are basically the 1A/1B gold standard. If you’re chasing a huge upside and excitement, there are tons of alternatives that have compelling arguments for them. Not exactly my thing though.

Now is as good a time as any to get started. Most of the money I invested was when ETH/BTC were higher than they are now.

And agree Coinbase Pro is probably the simplest & safest option for an exchange since it’s a public company. Again, that’s if you trend conservative. I’m sure you can find another option with lower transaction fees.

I use coinbase a couple weeks ago, but don't trade  at all.  I bought in with about 100 to just see how it worked, and put 50 in ETH and 50 in BTC.  Both are down from when I bought them. I also have some weirdo coins that you get for free from coinbase by doing little trainings and crap...they "pay" you to learn about odd little coins.   If you wait a couple weeks you can trade those odd ones for other coins.  I figure I'll just hang onto them in case they go to the moon.

Mostly I am on there because my junior high kid mines ETH, at the rate of about $50 a month or so.

I haven’t kept up but if NFT’s are still being implemented for short videos and all that junk, no they are still rough ridin' stupid. That said I think when they start being used for other things they have a future. I’m still just waiting to see what defi brings, I haven’t formed an opinion yet on what it is or could be yet.

That’s what PlanB has been saying since June. The model basically says that once the S2F changes the model puts it at the new high, but it obviously doesn’t work like that. The way the past halvings have worked on average the highest price is hit about 18 months after the halving happens. This is also what I have been saying for years now, with following all the stuff PlanB has done.

I've come to terms that I'm too lazy to really self educate myself about crypto enough to do this. Too bad, obviously some people are cleaning up. I'll just keep what I have and how it's worth a bunch when I'm old(er).

I guess I should also say I'm too lazy to check regularly to buy and sell. So if there's a definition of an amateur investor it's one that doesn't know what or why they're buying what they do and also doesn't watch it closely enough to cash in when they're lucky. I may as well throw money on a roulette table and walk away before I find out if I win.

Buddy, if you have $100, $1000, or $10,000 sitting around just put it in some combo of ETH, BTC and one of the crap coins tbt and sd own and let it ride.  You don’t need to do anything and you can watch it or not watch it as much or little as you want.

Totally agree with Kat Kid. I only got in this game because a bud convinced me BTC was a reasonable hedge against inflation and in case of some catastrophic stock market event. Then he said buy ETH because that’s the future, and then he told me to buy some cryptocurrency used for a video game that hasn’t been released yet.

Basically what I’m saying is you can have fun and speculate, and I’m not putting farms on anything, but I’d legitimately be shocked if my ETH/BTC buys didn’t beat the stock market over the next 10 years.

It’s a great no hassle diversification imo. People can speculate and gamble and make a ton just like they can with stocks, but that’s not the only way to play the game.

I'm currently testing out the Pi Network (it's currently mining on the Phone). It's interesting and for the work I do (literally click a button every 24 hours to keep the mining going) it's worth the effort. If you're interested in doing it download the app on your phone (Android or iPhone) and use my referral code turnbull6041. It's projected to go live (as in the coins will have monetary value) No promises on if this is going to be worth anything but for the little effort I've conducted it's worth the effort.

1 Coin I've been into is Civic I've made tons of money on it (it's now partnering with Solona) but I got that coin at 2 cents awhile ago. Other than that i'm all over the board with different types of Crypto.

It would definitely melt my face. I'm waiting for my oracles (you big brained guys) to tell me when it's going to go from relatively low to super high again so I can push my chips back in. Right now, it's hovering just below where I cashed out previously. Are we not going to see prices in the 20s/30s?
We already saw prices in the 30’s for 2 months bruh and 20’s for a very limited time already. Where were you at then?

Worth holding for a year or two to see what it can do...and if it makes tons of money....well hell yea!

I don't buy and sell frequently mostly because I'm not willing to put in enough money that way to get a return that I care about. I'd rather wait for years for BTC to go WAY down, buy as much as I can stomach in hopes of getting a 10x return, and then wait for years for it to go way back up.

Yeah, my crypto portfolio is around $800 total.  So, for me this is all just nonsense money, and anything "long term" is an S&P 500 index fund (90%) or Bond Index fund (10%).

that bond index fund is for sure a blood bath.

It's down 1% on the year, which is fine if the SP keeps it's head up.

Coinbase seems to announce newly added coins on Twitter. I wonder if it would be good to buy them immediately after they are added?  I suppose the ideal situation (if it’s true there is a pop from Coinbase) is to buy something BEFORE it is added to Coinbase, using a different exchange

What happens to BTC when the NYSE has BTC futures trading funds....and then WTF happens when the NYSE has funds that invest in BTC directly?  I wonder how much of that optimism is baked into the current price?  None, Some, a Ton?

https://www.ft.com/content/167a35ad-0fca-430d-a72d-b5967c557c04

Quote
The SEC has so far refused to approve any exchange traded funds that invest in the cryptocurrency itself, even though a slew of asset managers have applied to do so and similar vehicles are already up and running in Sweden, Switzerland, Jersey, Germany and Canada.

There is mounting speculation that it will approve one or more bitcoin futures ETFs following encouraging comments from Gary Gensler, chair of the SEC. However, this is unlikely to be imminent, with the regulator having pushed back the deadlines for its decisions on a quartet of futures ETFs, proposed by Global X, Valkyrie, WisdomTree and Kryptoin, by 45 days, with the deadline for the first now on November 21.

The problem with that analysis is the markets at large are still highly unregulated and short term things like China “banning” btc can make the entire market tumble. It certainly makes it bullish long term though.

I think any kind of formal regulation gets announced and it rips. I don’t think that’s a unique thought obviously, I think everyone thinks that. And it will be regulated. There are too many wealthy individuals and corporations that have their fingers in it now to “ban”. Only one way forward IMO.

So, I bought JASMY on October 8th at 10pm, and it had been listed for the first time on Coinbase earlier that day.  I bought $50 worth of it, at $0.05 per coin.  Today it got up to $.09 per coin, but has dropped quite a bit today after that peak.  So, I have about $90 of it right now.  I have no rough ridin' idea what JASMY is, and merely picked it because it had just got listed on Coinbase.

I'm quietly optimistic about SHIBA but it's essentially a lottery ticket, I'm a little worried they're not burning the coins as fast as they need to as though. I really dont believe alot of people own 100 million SHIB as that is several thousand dollars worth of coins. If they get a Robinhood listing and burn 95% of their supply (which would still leave several trillion out there) maybe they'll get past the 1 cent dream everyone is pushing.  However, what the heck let's dream.

It won’t hit .01 cent unless they do a massive burn, but I will say this .01 cent if that happens it’ll get to 5 to 10 cents. Hold it down till they make the official announcement about burn. Diamond hands if it does… but should it moon I’m going to a make a return trip to Manhattan from DC. I’ll tailgate the hell out of a game.

Title: Re: Cryptocurrency Master Thread
Post by: turnbull on October 24, 2021, 09:41:49 AM
Honestly who knows, I would say no they won't  burn that much supply by themselves as it would likely cause a massive investigation of insider trading charges. It would directly affect Coinbase/Robinhood(if listed), other avenues. This would literally make several people worth 500k to multi millions. Though i personally don't believe alot of people are 100 million holders (most probably have 10-30 million) but lets use the 100 million baseline they burn supply to get it to 1 cent or higher..you have a lot of people now worth at least 1 million. With that being said
 the #shibarmy on twitter/Reddit other aspects of the web doing a burn themselves hell they even have a spotify playlist that every time it's played it's burning Shiba Inu supply. I also could be completely wrong about a possible burn as there is a ton of chatter of a massive supply burn so they could do it or it's just that talk. Either way lets hold our lottery ticket?

In all honestly should Shiba Inu go that high...there is a strong possibility (a la Gamestop) that they would freeze trading for a couple of hours.

2 cents that is my Shiba Inu Goal.....i'd love it to get to 8-10 cents....but I'm thinking it wont. It is moving faster than the DogeCoin did on it's upward curve so there is that. However, it did take Dogecoin years to get to 1 cent and once Elon Musk got involved it went crazy. Still need a massive burn though and they have made an entire ecosystem out of it so it's worth holding.

there are different use cases.

BTC - digital gold. if ww3 happens and all currency around the world is upended this is probably your best store of wealth. scarcity is the value. The "goes to 0" is off the table now imo. There can/will still be 50%+ corrections for sure though.

ETH and other alts like SOL, ALGO, ADA, etc. as well as the lvl 2 and 3 coins like MATIC, DOT, etc. that sit over lvl 1 coins (mostly ETH) - Web 3.0 and defi. This is the real world "use" case for crypto right now. people talk about "owning" the internet in its first years and what that would be like which is web 3.0. defi is sending, loaning, exchanging free of banks and regulators. A lot of experimentation and a long way to go obviously.

shib, doge, and other shitcoins - run up the price real big and hope you get in and out at the right time. the real lottery ticket. there's no long term use case for these other than that. but it's fun.

Like I've posted before many times I don't know WTF I'm doing and don't understand this stuff at all for the most part but I own some from each bucket above and will continue to.

I'm almost certainly going to butcher the hell out of this but here goes my retelling of a recent odd lots episode where it was covered:

another great use for crypto is avoiding paying your taxes. but legal, like a rich guy. really wealthy people will have vast amounts of equity or other capital. but they can't sell it to get american dollars because then they'd have to pay taxes on the cap gains which rich people HATE. so, instead, they just take out a loan on backed by that asset and use that money. zero to you tax man and I'm only out a small interest rate on that loan. well, defi and crypto make it pretty easy for the everyman to do that. you own like an entire btc but you bought at $100 so you know for damn sure you aren't selling that thing and paying taxes on it. you could sell it to some sleazy back alley deal maker like kat kid off the books OR you could just use your neighborhood crypto exchange to give you a loan in united states dollars backed by that asset. now you've got your cash and no money to mr. tax bad person USA. this is probably a big piece of why the gov. can't decide if it hates crypto's guts yet or not. people "stake" crypto on some exchanges and get massive interest rates paid on it and don't know how that works. this is a lot of what's going on behind the scenes. it could for sure blow up in your face but probably not. FTX does a lot of this stuff I think.

there is certainly risk out there. chase and citi aren't paying this. it isn't FDIC insured, you know? they ask crazy hair sam bankman-fried what would happen if their borrowers collateral coins go down 70%, 80%, etc. and if they stress test their models and he talks about how they'd liquidate the leverage out quickly and he is always confident about it but, like, can they do it that quickly? there is 100x leverage out there that can for sure blow up stuff pretty damn quick if crap hits the fan.

I also have 100+ million Shiba INU, I made a ton of cash CVC Coin so i kinda split the different with profit taking to get over the 100 million club of Shiba. I also do the Pi Network (where they are mining Tokens on your phone). It's suppose to go live here in December but no one really knows for sure on it.

I'm almost certainly going to butcher the hell out of this but here goes my retelling of a recent odd lots episode where it was covered:

another great use for crypto is avoiding paying your taxes. but legal, like a rich guy. really wealthy people will have vast amounts of equity or other capital. but they can't sell it to get american dollars because then they'd have to pay taxes on the cap gains which rich people HATE. so, instead, they just take out a loan on backed by that asset and use that money. zero to you tax man and I'm only out a small interest rate on that loan. well, defi and crypto make it pretty easy for the everyman to do that. you own like an entire btc but you bought at $100 so you know for damn sure you aren't selling that thing and paying taxes on it. you could sell it to some sleazy back alley deal maker like kat kid off the books OR you could just use your neighborhood crypto exchange to give you a loan in united states dollars backed by that asset. now you've got your cash and no money to mr. tax bad person USA. this is probably a big piece of why the gov. can't decide if it hates crypto's guts yet or not. people "stake" crypto on some exchanges and get massive interest rates paid on it and don't know how that works. this is a lot of what's going on behind the scenes. it could for sure blow up in your face but probably not. FTX does a lot of this stuff I think.
Love this idea, but the only estimate I’ve seen so far is from Coinbase and they’re offering 8% APY :frown:

It is a real thing. The added bonus for the people that have the assets to continually do it without stripping all equity from their assets before death is that their estate will pay for those loans. And it's likely a portion of their estate will need to be liquidated to pay the loans off. Assuming the estate was gifted to beneficiaries, those people don't pay capital gains on the liquidation because the inherited assets get a new step up basis, meaning no capital gains except for whatever gains happened after the death of the original person.

I understand it’s a real thing. What I’m saying is I’m not aware of who all will loan you cash with crypto as collateral other than Coinbase (where all my crypto happens to be) and their rates are not great.

Yeah, he is trying to decide what to mine next. He’s also wondering if maybe used GPU’s could be bought up or at least less pressure on new GPU’s if he tries to expand (I.e. bum money off me or from Xmas gift cards).

So for what he already has you might look into(if you haven't already) staking the ETH he has earned or bought and get paid interest on it.  That would be a good way to have a passive interest income on it.  NVDA has been on fire lately but once the switch is made there have been a lot of people saying the stock will suffer a lot for a period of time and the market will be flooded with GPUs that nobody is using anymore to mine.

I’m actually going to move a bunch of IRA money into one of those shitty new BTC futures ETFs until the spot ETFs are approved. Probably XBTF if it ever gets off its ass and launches. Though their delay has definitely helped my entry point so far so maybe keep delaying :dunno:

Why not just buy actual BTC steve dave? Because I hate paying taxes my dude/dudette. And if we are all on board that this thing is going to $1m by like 2030 or whenever then I'd rather not pay taxes on that gain. And I've been backdooring money into a Roth every year for just this type of thing.

Point of parliamentary procedure here...what is the probability that BTC spot ETF's get approved?

https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/10/27/its-bito-vs-gbtc-vs-btc-as-bitcoin-etf-wars-heat-up/

Quote
Chances of a spot bitcoin ETF
Analysts for Arcane Research wrote this week that the discount reflects the dim chances of the spot ETF getting approved anytime soon.

“Shares in the GBTC have never traded at a higher discount, indicating that the market is not expecting the SEC to accept a spot-based ETF,” Arcane Research wrote in a weekly report.

Grayscale, however, says it’s confident that a spot ETF will eventually see daylight.

“It’s not a question of if but when a bitcoin spot ETF will gain approval from the SEC,” according to the firm.

You guys FOMO'd the crap out of me finally. I just spent the last hour opening a CB account and buying SHIB. I'm going to be just a bit less rich than you guys but still RAF!. Also, I just plan on using this account for shitcoins so I just added my debit card to make it fast and easy. I lol'd at how many SHIBs I could have bough with the $3 in fees they charged me.
this stupid coin SUCKS now.

I'll be ready next time though.  :billdance:

that actually is another good example of why the Fed Gov. isn't real comfortable with crytpo. you can launder essentially infinite amounts of money through NFTs. they have a hugely subjective value and literal jpegs of monochrome pixel art rocks have sold for 6 figures. you can create an anonymous NFT which obviously doesn't have to be worth a crap artistically and buy it yourself FROM yourself anonymously. a lot easier than the old fashioned money, bank, physical thing to buy, etc.

I am a go scaredy cat, but if I had a material amount of money in SHIB, I'd probably sell, take my profits and buy BTC and hope Plan B and his cronies are right.  If they are, then you will still get to retire early, just maybe with like travel the world money and not with snuff film money.

I'd not be super heavy in it. it's reached the doge plateau, the max any pure crap play has reached. not saying it can't go like 10x from here obviously, but I would doubt it. I'll still have 30m I'm just going to keep because it's not worth crap just in case and why not.

pure real talk bud to bud: just diversify. I'd go 40% ETH, 30% BTC, 20% whatever you like lvl 1 and 2 SOL/ADA/ALGO/DOT/MATIC/Etc., 10% cash to buy shitcoins when you feel like it or just ride some shitcoin now.

I'll probs hold onto this lottery ticket, but I'm also holding onto several other lottery tickets at the moment. It's only like half a $mln, which I can easily afford to lose. But the upside case is compelling.

Oh I agree, he has been right for a long time.  I read his stuff and a number of others (I like Benjamin Cowen's videos quite a bit). I'm just saying that him "being right" about the next levels he's predicted are, in my opinion, going to make retail investors and the general public get pretty damn excited.  Particularly when they have new ETF's (albeit futures and not spot) ready just in time for the mania to start.  Again, less-than-a-noob here, but it looks like things are going to go bonkers IF November is what Plan B says it will be.

Yeah, and huge LOL at the idea of a "fair price" for any of this rough ridin' crap.


The fact that it's just sitting there holding at the $60K level, while slowly building up its "X days moving average" seems to suggest that $30K is unlikely unless some kind of really bad totally unexpected regulatory thing happens.  These trader dudes look at that moving average like it's the gospel and regard it as a "floor" to "bounce off of."
Title: Re: Cryptocurrency Master Thread
Post by: wetwillie on November 04, 2021, 12:20:13 PM
Crypto TA is like counting cards at a black Jack table.  They are looking at signals that indicate next moves and trying to get a better than 50/50 chance of it being correct. The floor price could evaporate with major fuckery in the very short term but no a 50% drop.
Title: Re: Cryptocurrency Master Thread
Post by: Pete on November 04, 2021, 12:25:36 PM
Personally, I am *this* close to pulling the trigger on a large (for me) BTC purchase.  If I get $60K on the nose, I will be happy with that, but I will probably buy at less than $65K by the end of next week if it hasn't dipped like that.

I am too scared to go very big on anything more alt-ish than ETH, so I kinda stopped following everything but BTC and and ETH very closely.  I am a pretty big fan of Benjamin Cowen and his youtube series "Into the Cryptoverse."  He's a Ph D engineer and mathematician who is pretty level headed about all this, and does a very nice job of explaining the thought process of traders as they look at this stuff, and the market cycles and so forth.  He's a good follow on twitter and YouTube.

So what percentage % of everyone's liquid portfolio (cash, stocks, crypto, bonds, t-bills, IRAs/401Ks) is made up of Crypto at this point?

I'm at ~35%. According to most pundits, this makes me a dumbass and overly leveraged in the crypto game.

If you are including retirement that seems really high but could be from your huge gains in crypto?

Yes, includes retirement investments.  Was at ~10% last fall before everything took off so definitely big gains from crypto. Have not sold or bought anything significant since then either.....

Crypto is not a significant portion of my overall stuff right now, but I hope that it will be within the next few years.  And, that is NOT because I am moving any of my SP500 index fund money to crypto (I won't do that), and instead because the crypto I have and continue to buy just rough ridin' moon shots.  :pray:

Since your cost basis is fairly low I would say you’re mostly not a dumbass.  Also, putting 10% of your assets into crypto a year ago is pretty ballsy, so congrats on that.

a) your definition of "liquid" including IRA/401ks is strange.
b) I'm at about 2% including things I would actually not call liquid (IRAs, 401Ks, 529s, 403s, etc.). But I'm at like 10% of actual liquid (cash, brokerage, savings, etc.). And that seems to be way over allocated but, like was already pointed out, a big chunk of that is gains.

Between 1-2% for me not including retirement accounts. I’m also not really built for the crypto game because I hate selling any investments. That’s why I’m basically only in ETH and BTC. Anything else I feel like I have to monitor in order to make sure I come out ahead.

I'd just hang onto it, if you don't need the money for something else.  Maybe it will go bonkers someday, but no reason to think it will anytime soon.  Personally, I dumped mine when it popped back up for a bit, but I am a "BTC/ETC Only" guy, so take that with a grain of salt.

....Also....I've seem some of the crytpo bros say that unless an alt coin can beat ETH's upside etc, then just buy ETH, and that makes sense to me.  So, think about just selling it and buy ETH if you are looking for something that can maybe go up a bunch, but has a bit less "go to zero" risk.  Again, I mostly don't know jack crap, but do watch YouTubes.

I will tell you with high confidence that being a shib buy and hold guy is a loser long term. either ride it up and down and try to get in and out at the right times or just leave. it has zero potential to be anything longer term. disclaimer is obviously that it could explode up again short term.

Lol. This is awesome.

back in 1993, I registered the name crypto.com, which I've used as my personal domain as well as to host a variety of cryptography technology and policy resources.
...
Somehow, the word "crypto" has recently acquired an alternative new meaning, as a somewhat unfortunate shorthand for digital currencies such as Bitcoin.
...
I don't think conflating cryptography and digital currency will serve either field well in the long run, particularly as to how they're perceived by the public and policymakers. Surprisingly few of the important aspects of digital currency are directly related to its cryptographic components.
...
Last month [June, 2018], I reached an agreement to sell the domain. I have no idea what the new owner plans to use it for beyond what I read in the trade press

tether/usdt is what everyone uses to trade into and out of other coins. if you hear "stablecoin" that's what it is. it's like the currency of the crypto world. usdc is another one but it has much less volume. it's supposed to have exactly $1 in value at all times and be backed by an actual dollar for every usdt ever created. like when we were on the gold standard and all money had to be backed with physical gold and you could trade it for gold at any time. it has a market cap of like $75b so that's a lot of dollars that are supposed to be out there. but, like, the people behind it are very secretive about it and even combative when approached to prove they have a dollar backing all of it. a lot of people think it's smoke and mirrors and they don't have any actual dollars (or at least a lot less than they claim) backing the stuff. so say this becomes known it's going to immediately become worth WAY less than $1 and there's going to be a massive bank run to get out of it. I am probably not explaining all of this correctly but it's my understanding of it based off just a couple investing guy podcasts I have listened to.

tether/usdt is what everyone uses to trade into and out of other coins. if you hear "stablecoin" that's what it is. it's like the currency of the crypto world. usdc is another one but it has much less volume. it's supposed to have exactly $1 in value at all times and be backed by an actual dollar for every usdt ever created. like when we were on the gold standard and all money had to be backed with physical gold and you could trade it for gold at any time. it has a market cap of like $75b so that's a lot of dollars that are supposed to be out there. but, like, the people behind it are very secretive about it and even combative when approached to prove they have a dollar backing all of it. a lot of people think it's smoke and mirrors and they don't have any actual dollars (or at least a lot less than they claim) backing the stuff. so say this becomes known it's going to immediately become worth WAY less than $1 and there's going to be a massive bank run to get out of it. I am probably not explaining all of this correctly but it's my understanding of it based off just a couple investing guy podcasts I have listened to.

You can’t convert USDT back to USD and that is a massive red flag

It is a bit concerning. The big boys will prob survive after a huge hit, but it would rock any confidence and take a bit to recover. The part I don't get is why do firms use Tether if its so sketchy. Why not just use USDC or GUSD? I know GUSD is at least audited and Gemini has a bit license. That should mean at least something. Maybe there isn't enough of those 2?

I like it!

Question about this "staking" thing....does your asset continue to appreciate (the coin keep going up in value) when you stake it to earn interest on the stake?  Or are you "trading" capital gains on the asset for interest earned while staking or something?

hell yeah it does

The only "downside" is that you can't sell those coins while they are staked, I guess.

there is certainly risk out there. chase and citi aren't paying this. it isn't FDIC insured, you know? they ask crazy hair sam bankman-fried what would happen if their borrowers collateral coins go down 70%, 80%, etc. and if they stress test their models and he talks about how they'd liquidate the leverage out quickly and he is always confident about it but, like, can they do it that quickly? there is 100x leverage out there that can for sure blow up stuff pretty damn quick if crap hits the fan.

I think we are not at peak oil yet, oil stocks are cheap, dollar looks more likely to go down than up, oil companies are better positioned than ever to survive on low energy prices because of how they had to weather the pandemic, but energy prices have gone up so they are going to be doing share buybacks and big dividends as they are very profitable right now. because of supply constraints due to environmental regulation, OPEC+ and shareholders demanding returns after getting killed for over a decade I see the companies rewarding shareholders and not going crazy with cap ex and the XLE going higher. I have traded some of the individual names but I wanted broad exposure so that’s easy enough.

How many exchange accounts do you brosephs have? I have been reading about a couple of Alts and have noticed (very late) that in order to get in on some of these you have to at least have a Binance account. It would just be for lottery ticket type stuff, but am I really considering opening up an account at another exchange? I'm not interested in dark web type crap, so Binance is about as far as I would go.

yeah, I had a friend call me just last week about something like this. His friends son sold some NFT and made like 5 grand and he was like, "its just a shitty picture someone made, my kid could do that". I just told him that his kid couldn't sell it for 5 grand and to not worry about the dumb stuff you constantly hear about. I gave him a quick use case scenario for NFTs and he said that I made sense, but he was still pissed about a monkey picture selling for 5k so he said it was all stupid.

I like this analogy, because so much of what people saw/thought of the first iPhone or iPad were based on gimmicky apps with like no practical purpose (which some people loved). I think a lot of NFTs right now are similar. Most are more a proof of concept rather than having inherent value.

I certainly never mocked an iphone owner in the same way that I would mock someone who paid $5k for a random NFT.

I think you guys are missing the point of the analogy. Crypto and NFTs have also had a pretty meteoric rise over the past couple years. Even though we’ve barely tapped their actual functionality.

If anything it’s their popularity that draws the criticism. You don’t sell monkey pictures for $5k without there being a pretty interested market behind it.

Are the people you know people who are creating NFTs or people who are buying NFTs? I see the appeal of spending an afternoon making an NFT to be sold for thousands. I don't understand the purchasers.

It’s AR augmented reality.  It’s basically the same as Pokemon Go, but you own a unique copy of the intellectual property.  The most popular currently are in the Marvel and Disney properties like Spiderman and Mickey Mouse.   The app is pretty slick, if you download it you can get a good idea of what they look like.

So you go to a specific location and can see the art through your phone? Can other people do the same? Are the content creators (i.e. actual owners) required to continue hosting that content perpetually, or could they take it down some day in the future, rendering the NFT completely useless? Does the NFT owner receive ad revenue through the app?

At the moment you use the VEVE app to access the NFT, shortly it will be available to transfer to opensea on the ethereum network via IMX.  The IP is transferred to the owner when purchased so there is no risk of it being unhosted, as it’s minted on the blockchain.  Eventually VEVE will host its own version of a metaverse where the NFT’s can be utilized in a virtual world and I’m guessing can be rented out for income.

I think what people are missing is that this “silly” stuff is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of functionality for what an NFT is. You are talking about smart contracts on a immutable ledger.   We are talking about tokenization of all kinds of assets not just 2D Art.  The same kind of rhetoric was used about Web 2.0 for social media, now it’s ubiquitous in daily life.

Would it make more sense to pay $5 million for a painting in a museum, only the painting has to stay in the museum and you aren't allowed to charge for access, you don't get a percentage of admissions fees, and you yourself actually have to drive to the museum and pay admission to view the painting you just purchased? Because based on what I read about NFT art, that seems to be sort of equivalent.

Admittedly I don’t have much knowledge of this space, but I’ve not heard about NFT owners having issues accessing the art they own.

Most people’s criticism of NFTs seems to be that they’re easily reproducible by the non-owner, which really is true for most any art.

All that said, I don’t think anyone on either side thinks the NFT art being sold has any inherent value, but that’s fine. You don’t see me mucking up the Ken Griffey Jr. card thread with similar complaints.

money laundering is kind of risky by nature.  buying/selling a $5,000 image of a banana requires a little less legwork than opening up a fake restaurant.

Sounds like a pretty good deal for the uninvolved parties, though. I don't know the answer to this question, but if I buy an NFT banana for $50 and later sell it for $1,000 to a money launderer (unbeknownst to me) who turns around and sells it for $5,000 to a money launderee, are my gains ill-gotten?

I read where two other cryptos that were scams somehow are linked to it and are washing it out and only a certain amount of the washout can be done each day for mysterious crypto reasons (algorithms? Contango? metaverse?) so it’ll keep dumping until that whatever thing (deal?) is done. This is all high level technical crypto jargon and analysis so I understand if none of it made since to you or me.

Guys!! Excited and nervous about what could be my first foray into crypto. I've been playing poker in Ignition casino and decided to "cash out" via Bitcoin. I've set up my wallet (blockchain), and decided to link it to my already existing CashApp acct for the exchange.

Going to convert most of it (~$1,800) into cash for an upcoming poker trip to vegas. BUT, I'm thinking about investing some and investing future online poker profits into crypto.

Guys!! Excited and nervous about what could be my first foray into crypto. I've been playing poker in Ignition casino and decided to "cash out" via Bitcoin. I've set up my wallet (blockchain), and decided to link it to my already existing CashApp acct for the exchange.

Going to convert most of it (~$1,800) into cash for an upcoming poker trip to vegas. BUT, I'm thinking about investing some and investing future online poker profits into crypto. 



My advice would be to not create a taxable event if you don't have to.  Also, I would recommend a cold wallet and transfer it to that instead of an exchange.  Give me a call if you have any questions.

I'm going to buy more LUNA here. obviously this will result in it dropping to like $20 so fade this move is probably your best play here.

back on the tax thing, turbotax taps right into Coinbase (and others) to pull your transactions.  I also record all my transactions to cointracking.info to track.  When I compared what TT got it was close enough to my cointracking data I just went with it and added in my few other exchanges I traded on.

Heard on a podcast today (Unchained #339) from some guy who thinks Terra/LUNA’s whole model is flawed, but didn’t fully understand the issue. The podcast also made clear it’s a debated point, but at least something to consider as far as making it a long term investment.

yeah, its hard to get a handle on a lot of these coins. I've been reading a bit about the Anchor Protocol since the feds are shutting down most of the stable coin interest providers. These algo liquidity thingies are pretty cool in theory, but i'm not smart enough to understand them fully.

My mostly uninformed take is that if you could invest in crypto as a whole, this could be a good buying opportunity. The problem is you still kind of have to gamble unless you’re buying a crypto ETF (which I still don’t really understand cause like they’re not actually holding any crypto?).

Long term I still feel like BTC, ETH, and Solana are good bets but are they better than buying a sagging S&P 500 right now? Who knows.

the washout is going to be pretty incredible. I've pulled pretty much everything aside from BTC and ETH in my cold wallet. So many companies and jobs are going to be lost. It will be amazing to see what it looks like when its over. Crypto will def still be a thing IMO, but how many coins/ideas will be around in 2 years?

Well the $30k wouldn’t have been possible without the insane bull run that preceded it.

I think the biggest difference in this bear market is that it has a real impact on a lot of large companies and funds who invested in crypto. That definitely wasn’t true a few years ago.

I can't tell if this is a joke about relative difference or not. In any case, it isn't true because the price went from $20K to $3K before.

People said it was dead then. It wasn't. It could be dead now. Also, it might not be.

Got a handy explanation for that graphic or at least an analogy that actually makes sense?

technical analysts (chart nerds) talk support and resistance with stonks and stuff all the time. basically all they talk about actually. like they were saying if it breaks below $30k then watch out below. which actually happened. it doesn't always follow along with what the chart says will happen but the bottom definitely fell out of this one. so the old resistance was $19k'ish in like 2018. it didn't break that for a long time. and it's now it's back there. resistance usually will become support after it breaks out. if it breaks below here the next support is the old support at like $12k. if it breaks that watch out way below. now this is all chart nerd stuff and these guys don't know crap about crap when it comes to fundamentals. but, the good news for them is there are zero fundamentals with btc so maybe being a chart nerd is good here. I don't know. I just read their garbage online and laugh at them when it doesn't work.

Going to be interesting to see how this goes. I had some stables at 3 "respectable" places. I pulled them all last week when crap was really going down and it was pretty nerve racking. No issues though and all 3 places are still good to go so far and haven't done anything shady or even lowered their rates for the most part. The bummer is that I can't put any money back in two of the accounts even if I wanted to. Blockfi is trying to do some weird security that will prob never get approved anyway, so they are pretty much out. I think the only one I would even consider using again and I am def waiting this out for a while is Gemini. They pay the lowest rate, but are about as transparent as possible and have a third party auditor that claims GUSD is backed 1-1. Anyhoos, its back to boring as 0.9% online savings for my excess cash for at least a bit.

I still have quite the menagerie of coins/tokens which for the most part are in cold storage.  At this point, I am back down to about what I originally put in.  Going to patiently wait for the next cycle.

I'm still raw dogging it on Coinbase and still have like 320MM SHIB, among other things, on there.

You know what's better than 320MM SHIB?

1 billion SHIBS

This is the kind of advice I've come to expect from stevedave, but not you.

I don't know why i'm surprised the Sam effed up so bad. After seeing Celsius, Voyager, Blockfi, etc, you would think he may have looked at his own company for potential issues. I guess in the end, these guys were mostly computer dorks and not finance dorks so it makes sense.

I don't trust my own judgement on stuff like this, but I would think that other coins going down would ultimately be good for Bitcoin.
I think that’s right. And I have a long and storied history of profiting from crypto currency so my opinion has value.

I think it's bad, because it gives the impression to potential investors that all crypto is ultimately useless garbage.
I go to another forum unrelated to sports or crypto and this topic was brought up. It's devolved into a crypto bashing instead of discussing the apparent scam that so happened in the crypto sector.

Yeah, remember during the bull run when people kept saying, "just wait until the institutions/pension funds start buying". Yeah, that aint happening any time soon, if ever.
That’s not true though. Fidelity as one example.

For sure. Normally they are caught when they off ramp to an exchange I would guess. I was more pointing this out regarding the issue with bitcoin petering out due to lack of use. Seems its kind of a lose lose situation potentially. No-one is using it so its essentially idle and worth nothing or they change it and make it like other coins so it loses its originality.

Everyone gives each other pointless advice that's unlikely to help to succeed in trading. Perhaps I just din't have time to invest in those coins you are promoting here. In any case, I want to share my training experience here. Like many naive guys, I thought I would be able to learn this on my own. I watched several videos explaining cryptography and read a review on popular coins. Of course, all my investments didn't bring me income. So the best thing you guys can do is learn forex trading step by step (https://fbs.com/analytics/guidebooks). It is not necessary to aim at complicated things. Start small. Study expert guides.

Once the ruling comes out is probably your best short term liquidity event.  Getting to .75 on hype seems feasible given where it is now.  It might make it back to around $2 when btc goes nuts again in 2024.

Less sell pressure from outflows from GBTC, record buying inflows into the BTC ETFs. Might also be a real time indicator that inflation isn’t cooling as much as we think, numbers come out tomorrow.

Also yes the halving is in April. Right now ~900 new BTC are entering the market every day. Will be ~450 after.

I think the top will happen after the BTC halving but everyone has their own risk tolerance. Once it hits your breakeven you could put it on the exchange and put a stop loss at your breakeven and see where it goes.

My crypto bro says the BTC ETF created some new funds floating around which is indirectly funding new crypto growth. Will likely be quite a bit more forth before it settles down again.

Unless something crazy happens like ETC to $40k or BTC to $1 million, I'm just letting my stuff ride until retirement.

What you have done is very good. This just adds some added safety features. So if you have your words on a piece of paper and your house burns down you lose access forever. So a lot of people have their phrases on a metal plate that is fireproof. This just allows you to have another safety net if you lose the device and your phone you can still get stuff back by verifying your identity.

So what you have is great this just adds some new features. As people continue to build it’s just making it easier to safely self custody while also adding new features and better interfaces.

No, they are meant to provide air gaping from the internet. So the random word generator is completely offline and so your recovery phrase never leaves the device. It’s just an extra layer of security so you know you and only you know your recovery phrase.

If you have a ledger, you can access it if you buy another ledger and use your recovery information.  Not sure about the other brands.  I had an old ledger that was outdated due to memory issues and had to purchase a new one.  Set the new one up with my existing recovery information and was good to go.

So I briefly tried to figure this out myself. My understanding is (still) that if you set up one wallet to hold your crypto, you can probably access the same crypto through other wallets by using your seed phrase, but that some wallets use a different encryption that makes that unlikely.

So to me it seems like a tradeoff between security and accessibility. Either you can worry about someone else getting ahold of your seed phrase and tampering with your crypto, or you can worry about the extra secure product you're using going defunct and not being able to use your seed phrase in a different wallet.

The key to me was pulling it off the exchanges as they then own access to your assets. They shut down, you will be stuck fighting to get your crypto back. Airlocking it into my ledger keeps me in total control. I hadn't looked at "moving" wallets so I wasn't sure how that all worked.

As for my seed phrase, I keep two copies, one in a firebox and one locked away in my work office. I considered putting in my password manager (bitwarden if interested) but liked it only physically written on paper.

That's what I did with my BTC (although just a virtual wallet for now), but ETH is still on Coinbase for staking.

I've had a crypto wallet for a couple years but I'm pretty sure I'll either lose the wallet itself or the password. So, I'm just sitting here waiting for coinbase to take it instead.

Would ETH as a security be so bad? I honestly don’t know but seems like the BTC ETF was popular.

The BTC ETFs have been the most successful ETFs in history based solely on inflows. It's actually not even close which is kind a crazy.

How long should we expect the growth period to last after the halvening?

The models and history say about 12-18 months.
