Read that last night. How does it actually work though, Do they trade in real BTC and if so, where do they acquire them or is it just futures like Viabtc did with BCH

I'm not 100% sure how it works, I kind of skimmed through it due to all the legalize. But the rulebook did mention that the trades are backed by real btc. Not sure how they are acquired. I remember a little blurb in the rulebook about investors being able to take possession of their btc and LedgerX would facilitate??

Some dumping has commenced and made the price tank by $100 within seconds.

Yep, median line touched ...

So I did a little reading of the LedgerX trader's rulebook. Some encouraging things I noticed:

1) Only market/limit order buying and selling

2) No shorting, no margin trading

3) Trading only available Mon. - Fri., 9AM -5PM (so essentially only during U.S. stock market hours)

4) Credit swaps fully collateralized

5) Have to meet certain hedge fund or individual investor requirements to become a member

6) Only available to U.S. based entities

7) Trading to commence in September

I was watching that. 600+ btc was bought  before it was pulled. He replaced it shortly after with a more staggered series of walls.

Edit : as i was about to post that, a big dump

True, even if I only have a few month left, at least the BTC will be able to pay for the funeral expenses right now. One less burden for my partner, if he can figure out how to liquidate the BTC.

Ruddy hell. What's with the morbidity? Do you have tumours dangling out of your nose?

Where I'm at vaping is a fraction of the cost of real smoking. Depends where you live.

Do you mutually agree to get into BTC with your manfriend? I wouldn't have bothered telling him myself. Spouses and extremely speculative money are a terrible combination usually.

Feeling like I'm going to be driving that Porsche this winter !

I am curious. The guys buying high end porsches, lambos etc... Are you doing it selling a SUBSTANTIAL part of your stash (like 20-50%) or is it something more organic like 1-5% of it?

Ask Roger Ver.
He has a lambo in Tokyo (yellow).

About the smoking thing... Have you tried vaping? The vaping industry has evolved amazingly in last 5 years.


I haven't tried that. However, one of my goals is to eliminate this expense from my budget. Is vaping cheaper?

About the "heritage" you should be instructing her already on this stuff and what to do.


My partner is actually a he. We are not transgendered, so male pronouns are much preferred. (Not offended though at you. Common mistake. You don't know me and naturally assuming a straight relationship will always be the default assumption.) The problem with sitting down with him is that he fails to try and understand bitcoin. He has made it clear that I am not to spend any of our fiat on more bitcoin. I have on rare occasion did something sly to get a little more. Now when I try to sit him down, he knows how much my BTC is worth, and the pressure to sell from him starts up.The main issue is actually the amount of time that I spend tending to my BTC and Alts on the internet. Reading, fiddling with code. He hated Candy Crush and BONIC just as much when it took my time away from him.


ABout the richness... Maybe it won't make you rich... but try make it at least a sum that could change anything in your life.


True, the yield on it has been vastly better than my 401K.

Btw, some people consider that money is for spending. I think the money is for BEING ABLE to spend it. YOu are only able to spend money that you haven't already spent. Money gives freedom, spent money doesn't. Unless you know you only have like a few months left.....

True, even if I only have a few month left, at least the BTC will be able to pay for the funeral expenses right now. One less burden for my partner, if he can figure out how to liquidate the BTC.

Thanks for all the encouragement, people. Now all I have to do is actually make the right decisions, especially about the smoking. That habit is nothing but a drain on my financial resources and health. It's so hard though. Tried many times and failed. Maybe I will try vaping. At least that is a little easier on the lungs but not the heart.
If you want my non-medical, non-smoker(ever), but computer programmer opinion, I would first stick to a fixed number of cigarettes per day/week, then cut it down slowly, maybe even 1/4 cigarettes at a time. And definitely find something else to chew on and play with, maybe get a huge box of wooden dowels at the hardware store. The habit is more addictive than the chemicals.

I do agree that habit is more addictive than the chemicals (I was a COMPULSIVE smoker yet my addiction was not so strong as in other people ie would not go in a hurry to buy more in the middle of the fucking night). But, what you are suggestion of limiting/restricting the number of cigarrettes doesn't work. If you allow yourself a pack, you will think one or two more wouldn't make difference, and go on.

A real smoker cannot restrict the number, the only way is to QUIT. And vaping will help you LOADS here.... Just don't do both smoking and vaping at the same time, or you will quit vaping instead Smiley

If you want my advice as an ex smoker, explore vaping.

Gotta run to the ballpark if I wanna see the first pitch.

Hopefully we'll be over $3900 by the time I get back.

GO JAYS!!!
