Bought a bit more ETH @ €725 to bring my average down.
Going to ride it out from here.

Great time to buy

Great time to mine

Difficulty isn't increasing much as there isn't much of an influx of new miners as you can't get any GPUs (unless you pay silly money)

Providing the tax inspector's reply shared in the pool our tax knowledge thread is true, I might start HODL and not sell my mined ETH immediately. Wish I had done that since the start, just didn't want to be speculating as I had gone into mining as a hobby and low risk investment, not speculation

But now I find it very interesting to go for start up coins that look really interesting and promising. Another new hobby again

Nice recovery on ETH today and everything else i suppose.
Back to another bull run?

Eidoo does I think, MEW is probably your best bet thou, just dont lose your details.

The current lull, is it down to Korea's possibly making it illegal? EVen if this occurs, do you consider that the growth should still reoccur on it?

I know who knows... just looking for opinions. Mine is the above

if anything the Korean news has been put to bed with even their regulator coming out saying any ban would be illegal.
It seems that the 'real news' is now out and was they are only clamping down on unidentified traders, and exchanges will now need to KYC

Back above 1k on GDax.

I use the Trust wallet. It supports ERC20 tokens and has a mobile app.

Do you use Coinbase for buying Ethereum or GDAX? Coinbase showed a much higher price than the price displayed when I tried buying Eth.

Gdax if you want real-time pricing and none of the Coinbase fees.

Exactly, I was clambering to check coinbase thinking 1k euro had been exceeded again. People quoting dollar prices is getting more annoying by the day.

It's the default for crypto, would help if people used currency symbols though.

Stop using euro prices on a public forum then or at least use the bloody symbol.

You are in an extremely small worldwide minority and probably on this forum as well.

The dollar is still the world reserve currency hence why almost all commodities etc are quoted in it and also why all cyrpto-assets are as well.

Go over to the investments forum and start talking about oil prices or Apple shares in euro and you will probably get a bemused reaction.

What irritates me about using USD for crypto is we're exposed to the USD <> EUR exchange rate fluctuations. USD is after weakening notably in the last few weeks, effectively devaluing crypto if you buy / sell via USD as an interim (which I did using XBT Provider)

Dades · 23-01-2018 07:16PM

When is the last time anyone read an article about crypto that quotes prices in Euros?

I assume prices quotes ANYWHERE are in USD. Anything else is definitely the exception to the rule.

If there were any large spreads in crypto prices between USD and EUR those spreads are being arbitraged out of existence within minutes.
You won't magically get more crypto for your Euro than you would in any other situation, this isn't like buying a handbag.

Euro>BTC>ETH
You can buy eth with euro anyway

I buy in euro, I sell in euro and my profit is calculated in euro I dont care about USD and only ever look at euro prices not USD ones. It makes no sense for people in Ireland dealing in euro to be constantly talking about USD prices.

There are loads of shares quoted in euro also.

Talking about USD is just annoying it adds an extra level of calculation to everything. If you USD prices you have to constantly convert to euro to have meaning meaning and know what you profit/loss is etc.

It does, it's the global standard.

Its just easier for everyone to talk in USD i think, its like the global currency

Dades · 24-01-2018 01:14PM

When discussion happens about coins breaking through or dropping under certain amount barriers - it's always in USD. These USD breakpoints are a big factor in potential gains or losses. €817 is not a big watchpoint for Ether but $1,000 is.

It's utterly pointless taking about euros at any point except to count your chips before you've left the table.

I've never seen anyone here getting excited about ETH hitting 0.090236 BTC, for example.

Yeh i dont really look on here to much, today is my first day leaving the topic "How crypto is taxed in ireland"
I think a lot of people on here only look at fiat value, when I only look at Btc value, I also believe there is more money to be made in using the btc value instead of fiat

Convert at the very end for your own use. At the moment the EUR/USD rate is 1.22 so easily to calculate manually or in 2 seconds on your phone.

Yes, shares that are listed on euro exchanges. You can actually buy Apple shares in euro the Frankfurt exchange but it doesn't mean you would ever refer to the euro price. The more classic example is oil or even gold. Dollars all the way.

SureYWouldntYa · 24-01-2018 01:38PM

There needs to be a blanket rule put in place that either prices are quoted in the most relevant price, ie USD$, or you simply have to use the appropriate simple because this currency arguement comes up once a week across the froum

Eth just broke through the wall at 100,000

This is sort one of the reasons why you just would speak about everyhing paired with btc, " oh eth is .091 sats rn" " it broke .1 last week"

Ethereum
