i feel a wall of text coming. brace for it

$8500 is not very optimistic.   you are coming off as a bear, you psycho... (uh?)   

The dust left in my old BTC accounts is worth more than many portfolios here. I still have a vested interest.

So now you'll have no reason to continue to post here, you'll delete your account and move on to dash forum??...Pretty please??

Or just stay here and continue to trolllololol

I lost a bunch in my daytrading account, sure, but i had much much more in cold storage. Search my comments going back to 2011. I am an early adopter and former permabull. I made so much profit that I quit my job. Now I'm into Dash. I bought in at $80. Currently sitting pretty and HODLing.

Lol that billyjoeallen-guy was shorting bitcoin in the $200s and $300s. Don't take him too serious.

Anyway, welcome back. I hope you have more luck this time around.

Guys, do you think my urge to buy ethereum is just fomo and that eth will crash for a while or I should buy it now?
Any suggestions?

BFX lost a shitload of coins. I had no coins in my account. they stole %36 anyway to compensate the account holders who did have coins. So not only did they fail to safeguard the coins, but then they socialized the losses. this was years ago, but they NEVER PAID ME BACK. they are not a legitimate exchange. I am baffled that anyone can still take them seriously or do business with them.

31. don't ask me to count the twenties.

Try counting them. You muppet

This one looks better to me.

BCH has been pumped up, and BTC just re targeted so it's at its most vulnerable, spaming the mempool is just another angle of the attack. If Ver will start dumping whatever he has left in BTC it'll be  *soon*. If not there are a lot of people waiting for a "dip" to buy in, so they'd have to buy with market orders  

tl;dr next 24hrs are critical

I doubt that "Jimbo wants one too."  

There is a kind of mentality of  wanting or hoping for dips, or just preparing for dips.  Those are two different concepts.  If a dip comes, make lemonade out of the lemons.  You don't hope or want lemons, you merely take advantage of the lemons situation comes, which is nearly inevitable that lemons are going to come, from time to time.


Bitfinex FUD is FUD, as you seem to admit, and even though the crash Bitfinex would not kill bitcoin, I don't know why anyone would hope for such a crash. 

Sure, Bitfinex had several opportunities already to employ an exchange exit scam - and seems quite improbable that they are going to employ such, when it is not really necessary, in spite of the mucho bullshit FUD being spread about them.

Regarding, kicking out USA customers, I have mixed feelings about it, since I was personally affected and kicked out of their exchange - but I cannot really blame them for their exercising business discretion or to credit them with any kind of bad or malicious motive because of such business decision.

I was sure that I typed in 177 sat/B in Electrum. I'll make sure that I check the preview tab every effing time I send a transaction from now on.
Luckily were only 2 inputs, otherwise I could have gotten broke.

A couple of things strike me.  First, this is November.  You are planning a meeting with your money manager for May?

I know that each of us is different; however, earlier you asserted to have around 1,000 coins, and you have other assets too.   Sure, it can be good to meet with a money manager to discuss various options, but with anywhere near 1,000 coins, it would seem that you have a whole hell of a lot of "fuck you" money, and you even have extra "fuck you" money because half that level of coins, 500-ish, would cause for a whole hell-of-a-lot of options - especially if you have other assets, like you said.

I do understand that there is one dilemma that a lot of folks could have, and that is if you have a lot of time vested into some kind of JOB, and you don't necessarily want to leave that money on the table - so in that regard, if the timeline (of suffering in the JOB) is rather short, then it could make sense to be allow that to play out in order to be able to extract some value from that JOB.  Sometimes, early retirement can also be an option, but yeah some of the JOB's have minimum age requirements too, so if you have anything approaching 20 or more years in a JOB, but you have to stay an additional year or two or something like that in order to be able to collect, then it could be worth spending that time,... rather than just opting for "fuck you" right away, and without delay.... gosh.. 1000 coins... does almost seem as if "fuck you" could be a dilemma and tempting to just employ "right away", but without knowing how much value is there, it might not be prudent to leave some money on the table, too.


I mentioned 500 coins, but there are  even smaller amounts of coins that might be getting guys thinking in the same regard, without banking too much on continued actual upwards appreciation of BTC in order to fell comfortable with the BTC cash flow and even accounting for worse case scenarios and even making sure to be cashing out a bit of coins along the way, so that not every single bit of value in your portfolio is dependent upon BTC prices.



Sure that is an option.... which may be a bit more conservative than even you are willing to accept, yet if your partner is suggesting to divest 1/3 or 1/2 of your coins, then that is not really unreasonable, but you might consider attempting to negotiate down the amount to perhaps 25% of your coins.

By the way, are you the only one with bitcoins?   Are you bitcoin's joint property either officially or unofficially?  Sometimes we need to take the "advice" of others, especially if they have NOT taken much if any stake, with a considerable grain of salt. 

I have a relative who I had gotten into bitcoin, and that relative got into bitcoin in a pretty conservative way, less than 1/10th my investment; however, that relative made several mistakes, had bouts of deviation from my "suggestions", but largely hung onto her bitcoins, and frequently would follow my suggestions to HODL, and various strategies to attempt to accumulate and cash out a few along the way....   In the end, that person does sometimes make suggestions to me, regarding my holdings - yet since my holdings remain more than 10x of her holdings, and even our difference seems to be getting greater - my holdings are growing more than hers so, any kind of suggestion that I should cash out more or divest more seems to be lacking in logic.. but at least it is a consideration.

We have had stupendous growth this year, so it is really nice to see that so many of us have these kinds of what we gonna do when we are "rich" "problems."             





Probably some combination of both plans would be good.... and maybe instead of taking out 30% to 50%, you agree to just take out 10% or 15%, and then go yearly on the remainder?   Either way, you have what we call "first world" problems.. or even perhaps approaching "problems of the 1%"   

I use this when the going gets tough : https://estimatefee.com/

OMG just sent a transaction with fee 1779.33sat/B ,I don't even know how it happened.
Must have fucked up when I switched from mBTC to BTC.
Is not a lot of money, but hey it still hurts. At least the receiver got their money quickly:'(

It's a win win situation for Wu. Not only does he get to use it as a tool to discredit Bitcoin, but he also gets to help drive the fee market up. This is really beneficial for Bitmain, since Antpool does not share the fee with the miners in exchange for no pool fee. (They even give away 3-5% promotional bonuses.)
I may not have any proof that Wu is directly behind this. However, he has everything to gain and little to lose.

There are two competing Bitcoin Diamonds ? Ha ha ha ha

45k of spam by people deliberately trying to destroy Bitcoin is on the low side. Nothing to worry about.
