what are pros of bitsimple over coinbase

Bitsimple is very fast and clean.

With coinbase it takes a while and there is a good chance that coinbase will void your buy or sale if the market moves to much. I personally would only want to deal with an organization that has done 1000's of sales with no complaints what so ever.

yes i will never use coinbase after all the stories i have heard. refusing to fill orders that were paid for is bullshit and should only be done if payment does not clear. yet coinbase does whatever the fuck it pleases based on how the market moves.

I don't see the point of going back to FIAT anyway.
HODL is the only way.

so to clarify, when you say "currently" you mean "always", right? just want to make sure.

Agreed, HODL is the way to go. I still have my stash from April untouched for the long term. I also bought some recently when the prices dipped to $450

At the current rates $800-$1000 any new coins i buy i use them to invest in other crypto (mainly crypto assets) which I'm counting on multiplying significantly in value within 2014. And i keep some fiat on the side for the next big dip (if it ever happens)

i like hodl but when i watch back for around one month then i have to say that i made around 30% profit by trading compared to 10% if i had just hodled.

overall i think its still a good strategy to buy and just hold when you can get cheap coins. so if price drops lower 500 again i would buy and keep just holding too.

Hi Goat. Great thread. Do you like physical precious metals? Can you suggest any other investments that the common man can easily invest in?

I'm 85% Crypto (BTC/LTC), 10% Physical PM (Gold/Silver/Other) and 5% Fiat (USD/CHF)

Also guns, lots and lots of guns...

The Lambo, I didn't really care about, but now...now I'm jealous!

Pic's please if you feel safe in doing so

Hi Goat-
Buying a lambo wasn't hodling, was it? I know you did it partly to promote bitcoin, but how did you know ~$1K/BTC was a good price point to buy it?
in hindsight, you did pretty damn good. Just lucky or you saw the correction coming?

That Lambo is not really a significant part of my investment portfolio. I did it when I did cuz of Greenspan saying he could not see any "intrinsic value" in BTC. So I was like fuck it, people don't care about intrinsic value, they care about shit like Lambos. Did it for the PR. Plus that Lambo is fun as hell. We only live once and might as well enjoy life some eh?

I also bought $9k worth of random stuff on overstock.com on their first day. Not really cashing out, just supporting BTC.

Yeah that was awesome. When someone makes an uninformed comment about not being able to use Bitcoin to buy anything other than drugs or stuff from a few small websites online, I usually say something along the lines of, "Well some dude bought his lambo with Bitcoin..." lol

Haha, I would rather gnaw off my own foot than post in that other quality TA thread, but this one is great.

However, I disagree with the basic premise: don't just hodl. Occasionally, after careful consideration, sodl to buy back cheapler.

My brain hurts.

The HODL strategy does utilize TA, but no selling is done, only the emotional rollorcoaster is expirienced.

If you decide to do start trading instead of hodling, what are the main tools you use in order to determine if trading will be profitable? Do you prefer technical analysis or fundamental analysis or any other analysis tools?

Besides switching back and forth between fiat and BTC in order to gain more wealth, you can also invest in mining BTC, in shares of mining companies or companies selling mining hardware, or in alt coins.
You can even trade between btc and alt coins directly in order to create more wealth.

Can you share your thoughts about these different btc investment strategies with us, and which one has been most succesfull for you in the past?
And do you have an idea which strategy might be the most profitable one for the future in the short run or in the medium-long term?

I have done pretty well investing with BTC over the years so I thought I would help out and let people know what I am doing in the markets.

There are a lot of other threads here with pretty charts and recommendations on what you should do when and why. I'm pretty ignorant about all that sort of stuff so at this point I HODL.

I will update this thread when there is need.

Please ask as many questions about my methodology as you wish.
