Still on the silly Tether thing, I see.

Still the hand-wringing and paranoia.

You guys are kinda proving to the FUDsters that FUD still works, ya know that riiight?

Read its sentence out loud. It's fucking gibberish. Your time is more valuable than that.

In other news some tether coverage https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/21/technology/bitcoin-bitfinex-tether.html?_r=0

You give me too much credit.

Degenerate bull hatter & Bitcoin monotheist
Changelly accepts BTG. Has anyone used them? They look reputable, and cool too.

https://changelly.com/

I'm drooling for some more BTC from the BTG airdrop I got today. Or should I wait for an imminent BTG super-pump?

Used them quite a bit. 9/10 always good and reasonably quick. Occasionally they have delays with LTC or even BTC when Jihan Wu decides to play Bitcoin God.

Thanks, good to know. Because Kraken don't list BTG yet, and even if they did, they are almost unusable lately...


Yea fucky kraken stealing our money from bitcoin gold, still No news about it..

I just split mine off with Ledger....  check
Sent to Bittrex...  check
set ridiculous sell order...check
wait for pump.
Patience ...no hurry.... sell order will fill...  eventually....they always do in crypto
...free money


Pay attention.   This is how you day trade.  Set your limit orders and then go to the beach. If you have to place a market order, it means you are behind the market and not in front of it. This means you are doing it wrong.

Not sure I follow all the sudden doom and gloom about it. r/buttcoin has been trying for years to blow up the tether tangle. Some hacker absconds with worthless tokens and suddenly the whole show is a facade? Where is this all coming from?

What the hell is a tether even?

Remember how Homero Joshua Garza guaranteed a $20 floor for PayCoin ?

It's sorta like that, except that they apparently have "investors" that are backing every $1 USDT/BTC.

In theory.


Nailed it my friend!   lol

What the hell is a tether even?

Tether, a virtual currency that is supposed to be tied — or tethered — to the value of a dollar.

Customers can buy Tether coins on Bitfinex and then transfer them to other virtual currency exchanges, providing a way to move dollars between countries without going through banks. Tether has also become a very popular way to buy Bitcoin. In recent weeks, a few hundred millions dollars’ worth of Tether has changed hands on a daily basis across several exchanges, according to data on CoinMarketCap.com.

Tether and Bitfinex have insisted that the two operations are separate. But leaked documents known as the Paradise Papers, which were made public this month, show that Appleby, an offshore law firm, helped Mr. Potter and Mr. Devasini, the Bitfinex operators, set up Tether in the British Virgin Islands in late 2014.

One persistent online critic, going by the screen name Bitfinex’ed, has written several very detailed essays on Medium arguing that Bitfinex appears to be creating Tether coins out of thin air and then using them to buy Bitcoin and push the price up.

EDIT: From NY Times.
...that sounds like another fuckin willy. Welp, if bitcoin tanks then clowncoin is likely to go up, and then I'll have enough fiat for a few years. Whatever, let the idiots play their stupid games.

I must have forgotten to save the link to the tracking of coinbase user accounts. I think it was Torque who posted it. Anyone kind enough to share it again.

Hey man! Yeah, they have a tally right on their home page, just scroll down a bit where it says "customers served". Currently at 12.8M accounts. It looks like they added ~400K accounts in just about the past week or two. I'm hoping they can average ~1M new accounts per month all through next year.
Thanks, you had found and posted a historical chart as well. Was hoping to see this to get an idea of user adoption on a time scale. If you don't have it saved, I'll just scroll through your posts for the past month or so.

Here's the only one I've seen. I'm not sure where you can find a live updated version.


Too bad, I thought it was a live version. Anyhow I guess this will have to do for historical. Snapshots from the waybackmachine  https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.coinbase.com/about
Looks like coinbase (according to them) have registered 400K users in the last week! 
Lift off?
 
CONbase has so many users registered since the pump up in price of bitcoin because it is simply to buy bitcoin or ethereum from them for that matter without any sort of verification.
You can grab around 0.01btc with just a credit card number.

That is why.

I love how BCH is old news already  Cheesy
What is BCH? Do you mean BCash?

BCH is Birmingham Children's Hospital according to Google.

They're having a Christmas fundraiser apparently.  Smiley

Birmingham? That's in Alabama.  Tongue

 ...and everybody knows that Alabama is the rocket capital of the world!

Carolina!!!!

edit: Oops! Wrong coin ;(
edit2: It was also the confederate capital during the American civil war... figures!




Where's BTG from? Mississippi?

 I would say that's about right based in it's current value relative to its inbred cousins.

#TheGoyimKnow

A single entity on Bitfinex (either exchange owners or someone colluding with them) has controlled the world-wide bitcoin price all the way from $200 till now.  As soon as I discovered this during the halving is when I couldn't stand bitcoin anymore since there is no free market whatsoever and the entire price is nothing but a fraud controlled by a literal 1:1 recreation of MtGox as I documented a year ago:

https://steemit.com/news/@r0achtheunsavory/bitfinex-is-lying-about-the-hack-and-i-can-tell-you-exactly-what-likely-happened

https://steemit.com/money/@r0achtheunsavory/the-r0ach-report-vol-3-bitfinex-scamming-intensifies-and-more-on-the-silver-and-gold-markets

The fact is that people were trading with coins on that exchange that they did NOT own during the halving and when their bet went south they just flat out stole the coins.  Who knows what the hell is really going on behind the scenes.  Government agencies could even step into these rickshaw exchanges and just put gag orders on them and say, "we're going to station some guys here to manipulate shit".

Bitfinex now have a EUR BTC market. Dunno if it's a proper one with SEPA and real money and stuff.

They're also reopening USD wires for little people.

They need to disassociate themselves from that toxic tether crap  Angry

Update on my Iota withdrawal from Bitfinex: Nothing.
Pending for 44 hours after approval now. Sent three reminders on my support ticket. No reply.
Great.

IOTA is so much fail. Don't use this shit.

Care to elaborate?

On another note: After more than 46 hours the Bitfinex banksters have processed my withdrawal.

Does that mean that you will shut up about it now?


 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Iota is awesome.

Indeed. In every aspect.

Edit: It is so awesome I could fill walls of text that those of JJG (who hopefully everybody has on ignore and does not quote anymore) would look like a fraction of an atom in the universe.

Instead, let's go on for pages and pages about your stupid ass and non-issue bitfinex withdrawal.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes


Well gee whiz!  I was kinda looking forward to
the tech support emails being posted for a good chuckle.

..."we are looking into this issue.
Thank you for your patience in this matter..."

you know, that sort of thing....

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
it accounts for a relatively small proportion of the market and broader demand is growing fast.

USDT on BFX has a double whammy effect. It's new money on the exchange that others follow. That's far more potent than the same money on a minor league exchange. It shouldn't be underestimated.
I don't want to do the demoralizer here, but i think that what you aim for is impossible.
First of all, you should try to maximize your profits. If you don't do so, you will have burnt 10 days of lucky work with a single loss of 30% (that will certanly happen to you, sooner or later).


"Maximize your profits" could also be referred to as "greed based thinking"  There is more to holding and trading than attempting to maximize your profits, because the formula is more sophisticated and even holding might not be the most profitable, but it can be the most prudent. especially if you have difficult times when you try to "maximize" and you end up doing the wrong thing that causes more losses, rather than preservation of principle and capital.

Why are you replying to auto generated shite?
