I have a buddy who doesn’t know shit about crypto who sold all his BTC two weeks ago for XRP and XLM against my advice lol. Probably lost his profit from holding BTC for 3 years in two weeks.

Sure wish I didn't lose 4.5 ethereum years ago on Yobit lol

The perils of ethereum receiving addresses. You live you learn

You don't have to worry about a fedcoin. What you have to work about is the world losing faith in the dollar and China creating a crypto that is tied to their gold holdings. They love surveillance and tracking, and blockchain is the perfect tool. The US is falling behind, fast.

And here we are.

You thinking a correction here? I feel like we are going up too hard too fast.

I do not believe so. Not yet. It's silly TA but Christmas money will hit Monday/Tuesday. And a lot of relief money is pre-committed to BTC. That's just word on the street TA. Watch the RSI. If this is worrisome to some, i suggest hedge 1/2 but also consider this run is drawing large institutional buys. New institutions. I think it's $13k undervalued.


*I am not a BTC investment advisor.

ETH 700

Expecting greater percentage gains than BTC in an ETH blow-off top

Who's buying BTC now?

Paypal

How’s that going for you Taco???

$26,829

Me, but only just a little here and there because it's my online bookie/cardroom's preferred method of deposit.

I've bought maybe $1500 worth since covid started. Funny thing is, I'd have made more money just sitting on it rather than betting.

I'm getting really tired of Bitcoin not being $50,000. I would really like to sleep more, lay around more, drink Slurpees and see if I can become a + handicap in golf.

Lily Allen once turned down the opportunity to play a gig and be paid in “hundred of thousands of Bitcoin” – which would now be worth billions.

I remember her. I used to want to **** that broad bad.

29280

Hoping for a pullback to get some more...

Hold on...his salary this year or next? Has he been getting paid in Bitcoin?

Yeah holy shit.

You boys in here be raking. No jokes from me anymore. Congrats.

As Larry Johnson would say - we cakn patna

$33k

Man... I really wanted to buy 1 btc when they were under 9k over the summer. But I couldn't think of a way to pitch it to my pregnant wife that I wanted to invest 3/4 of our money in crypto.

Who woulda known, right?

Worst decision I ever made was NOT putting everything I own in BTC when it was $600.

2nd worst decision I ever made was not selling one of my properties and putting it all on bitcoin when it dropped to 3.3k once I actually had knowledge about crypto.

Fomo

That’s not what FOMO is lol

It is in my case. Fear of missing out. If you had no bitcoin right now u would have fomo yes? Why can't I have fomo for not having more

34K, basically doing 1k a day right now, ridiculous.

Yeah baby

Not too late guys, It's going to 300K

Yeah..... No lol. That's not even close to what fomo is. That's just regret.

If you're in deep, now is probably a good time to take some profit imo.

YOLO Drives FOMO
Devin Ryan, a brokerage analyst and managing director at JMP Securities has attributed the pent-up activity to the phenomenon "fear of missing out," or FOMO, among young investors. "It's all correlated," said the analyst, noting that Millennials, who are eager to get in on gains before the bull market ends, are more versed and interested in crypto and cannabis investments, relative to older generations.

Do. Not. Let. Them. Take. Your. Guns.

Buy bitcoin.

This right here was great advise.

Big news folks

Today the OCC published Interpretive Letter 1174, which explains banks may use new technologies, including independent node verification networks (INVNs) and stablecoins, to perform bank-permissible functions, such as payment activities. Said simply, a bank may use stablecoins (cryptocurrencies designed to minimize the price volatility) to facilitate payment transactions for customers.

In doing so, a bank may issue stablecoins, exchange stablecoins for fiat currency, as well as validate, store, and record payments transactions by serving as a node on a blockchain (INVN).

• JPMorgan said bitcoin could rally as high as $146,000 in the long term as it competes with gold as an “alternative” currency.
  
• Bitcoin’s volatility would need to drop substantially before it can match gold in terms of market value, the bank’s strategists said in a note Monday.
  
• JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon once called bitcoin a “fraud” and said he is more interested in blockchain technology than crypto.

I think we all can say this now. I told my wife when I 1st got in at $2500 that I wanted to buy $50K worth. Instead I spread it out among other stuff...

oh well. At least I'm in the game.

I’ve got you in the “I’m an idiot” contest. One of my biz partners asked if we could shift something in the 50k range when BC was in the 6-700 range. I told him “I’d rather wipe my ass and flush that money”. He enjoys sending random figures on where that’d be from time to time.

Meh. In 1997 I spent $4500 on Evel Knievel collectibles.

If I had spent that on Amazon stock instead (and held it) it would be worth something like 4 million today.

How is that good for crypto? Wouldn't that be a direct competitor?

Pushing 36k

You hear that fellas? That's Technocratic Marxism coming down the pike fast. Buy bitcoin, buy guns, and buy gold (or just more bitcoin).

This pump we got tonight was courtesy of the American political clownshow, good luck all.

BTC is about to pass Alibaba on the market cap charts... all of crypto is about to pass $1T.

I'm glad I got in way back in the day. It's one time when being anti-government paid off big time.

ATH's on the daily for BTC

ETH gonna pump next methinks. So close to ATH

I’ve been waiting like a snake in the grass for months for ETH to pump.

37K, guard your wealth, guard your guns.

Should I hop on the ethereum train?

Bitcoin is going to crash soon, isn’t it?

Define crash. It could "crash" to 11.2 and I'm still all good.

If it crashes back down to 11k im buying a few grand worth

50% drop.

I’m more asking than telling.

Ah. The answer is no. Get in if your aren't. You may get less coin for your cash but the gains are the same. Let's take a gander at the last 6m:

https://i.ibb.co/LSn08NM/BTC.jpg

Rudimentary knowledge of what is fueling this should have you emptying your 401K (If you are young. Trump made this more cost effective to do).

I'm waiting for a dip to buy more. I've been waiting a while and it's not dipping. Maybe I just buy more snyway?

Dipped $5K on the 3rd.

Bounced right back. You are an example of why a crash is not happening. Too many people waiting to buy it up.

I got out at a good time on XRP and I am betting it again. couple under bucks

you know they are under investigation right?

I know, and I missed it. It was back up by morning.

The time might be now.

yeah, just dipped to 32. Coinbase is still lagging and showing 37 though....yeah, this is probably my window.

No no. It's 37.3.

I just did a quick google and it said 32.5. Strange.


Everything else confirms the 37 price i see in coinbase. Oh well, I'm ready for some hot dip action.

yeah that is why I said I am gambling.

How long have you been ****ing around and waiting on a dip for a consistently rising investment?

oh, just a few days.

39,540

Yep.

I'm stupid.

I *almost* bought more at $5k, $9k, $17k, $23k, and now just bought more at $39k.

Kept telling myself "its gonna drop".

It hasn't.

There have been plenty of drops. BTC has historically been very volatile, so waiting for a 5% or 10% drop to buy isn't absurd. But over the last few weeks that hasn't been happening. The one blip I missed (and I should have been more ready for it) was a drop from 33 to 27 early Monday morning for a couple of hours.


I wasn't waiting for a monster drop, but there are discounts to be had if you are dilligent.

I've been on it. Damn I'm doing good.

These gains make me wonder why I'm in the stock market. Crypto is a fun ride.

God damn Coinbase

Move off of that. High, high fees and always crashes during a nice run. At least move to Coinbase Pro for lower fees. Kraken is my choice.

Can I use Kraken on my phone?

Yes. Web or app.

Wish the folks at Kraken would let a brother sign up w/o giving SS# info.

ROFLBitcoin hits $40,300. Coinbase crashes due to demand & traffic. Bitcoin drops to $36,000 temporarily.

There is another way.

Has anyone used a bitcoin ATM before?
