So much for the Judge and Guards getting their hands on those Bitcoin.

I'd come to terms with the loss too if I had mislead everyone and could still retrieve the pass phrase.

****ing morons even saying that part, just have to laugh at the blatant ignorance

Interesting ... stock markets are very down and gold is very up today as the world comes to the realisation that the coronavirus situation is neither getting better nor just an Asian problem anymore.

But BTC is not moving either way.

JJJJNR · 24-02-2020 02:34PM

Very interesting is the bnb partnership on an up coming real estate sto, binance listing is a no brainer from here.

It is now.

Down a wee bit.

Lex Luthor · 25-02-2020 07:28PM

I've decided to trade some BTC into ETH and see how it goes for the short to medium term

think the potential gains from eth could out perform BTC in 2020

if BTC reaches the ATH in 2020 then its just over double what its at now, but even if ETC reaches 60-70% of its ATH then thats a better return

we shall see if the strategy pays off

Bought the weekly allocation of Bitcoin there.

Will drop back in over the next month or so, but delighted my itchy trigger finger pushed the entire market up :P

Ye are welcome lads! :pac:

Slowly starting to move this cash pile back into crypto with some nice gains and plenty of buys set to trigger if this slideback continues.

I'd love to claim TA or market savvy led me to this strategy...
but
honestly, its sheer dumb luck.

At what price-point are you triggering your buys?

For BTC I have range of triggers set between €8.5k and €7.7k the buys triggered so far have gotten me back in to exceed my original BTC pile with @11% gain on total holding.

Have a similar set of triggers for LTC and ETH, expecting ETH to go sub €180 and LTC back to@ €50.

Also went back in on XRP on a complete hunch this morning @€;0.215.

The crypto pile is growing while the value is dropping but thats usually when \i accumulate.

Arrival · 26-02-2020 05:46PM

Anyone in on Dash? Haven't researched it much but would it be a genuine long-term prospect/possibly return to ATH?

I would possibly go in on sub €150 Eth this year (especially if there's a downward slide towards the end of the year) and BNB if it goes below €13 or €14

q85dw7osi4lebg · 27-02-2020 10:39AM

Broke my own rule and bought the dip (a bit). Had a bit of excess FIAT this week so I'll try justify it.

As you probably know it is one of the main contenders in terms of privacy coins with Monero and Zcash. From what I can tell this is not the best one from a privacy perspective, but it is the one with the strongest organisation behind it trying to push commercial adoption (with rather limited success to date - they pushed hard for adoption as a POS payment methods in South America but I don’t think it has been doing great on that front). Zcash seems to have support from academics and privacy activists as the better technical solution in terms of providing privacy, and Monero seems to actually see the largest real work use as a privacy coin (possibly pushed by its popularity for illegal transactions).

I personally don’t don’t see a clear winner is this race at this stage, and the other question to think about is whether privacy coins in general are a good place to be (there will likely be demand for it, but they will also generate the strongest pushback from governments as they are harder to monitor as opposed to the likes of Bitcoin).

So going back to Dash, there is nothing wrong with it and it might do well, but I personally don’t see anything which makes it particularly stand out.

themossinator · 27-02-2020 01:04PM

anything Dash can do bitcoin can do, devs are working on privacy stuff for bitcoin at the moment. What's the point of monero, zcash, ****coin2679 when they are not secure/centralised? oh yeah, it's printing money to make someone rich

Mr.Maroon · 27-02-2020 01:37PM

Total novice here.

Thinking off buying some bitcoin - is now a decent time or should I hold off for awhile?
Also, is Binance a good/safe site to use?

Grumpypants · 27-02-2020 01:45PM

No one really knows. But I think it is As good a time as any. It has been on an upward trajectory this year but has currently seen a dip. Hopefully it lasts a week and starts climbing again.

How much are thinking of buying?

Mr.Maroon · 27-02-2020 01:51PM

Nothing major - maybe around the €100 mark to get started.

One of the "safer" fiat-to-crypto exchanges is Coinbase. You can buy a variety of cryptos like Bitcoin and Ethereum there directly with fiat. They have an insurance policy on their fiat deposits last I checked.

Binance is also decent, although they have had one or two hacks (they are one of the largest exchanges so they were able to handle the hacks without going insolvent)

On a side note, personally I always recommend buying in stages (never in one single large amount) because no one can time the top or the bottom of the market.

I use kraken and agree with advice to buy in stages

Maybe plit your €100 into a few differeant amounts and try to pick it up at various prices to give you a feel for setting up buy orders rather than chanse the market

The trade fees are always lower aswell if you set buy orders compared to market orders

At the moment bitcoin is a bit in no mans land...most people will say its a good time to get in, some others will say wait. If its for an investment then maybe get in

It might also be an idea to look at others like Etherium

Lex Luthor · 27-02-2020 04:11PM

dont see a lot of buyers interested at the current price...think we are going to consolidate for a few days

According to the CME futures chart the gap is at $8580 and wasnt filled

Kraken registered $8516 today but I know that means 5h!t cos its not what CME had which is a pity

It does seem to be just creeping up slowly by $15-20 every hour since it bottomed out this morning

Chainlink is the only holding I have thats been in the green since yesterday, although I'm starting to see a few others turn green recently

Mr.Maroon · 27-02-2020 05:22PM

Ok - got my account set up on Binance and bought my first €20 worth of BTC.

It's all a bit confusing atm, so I think I'll wait a few days before I start setting up buy orders etc until I get the hang off it.

Major rule
Don’t panic buy when you see it go up quickly
Just take a deep breath and remember they generally come back after pumping and vice versa

Also don’t panic sell when it’s dropping fast

Bitcoin only has to sneeze and it can drop 10% in a day so just a bit of advice

You’ll get used to the volatility

Buy as it’s dropping is usually a good strategy

Good luck

Dohnjoe · 27-02-2020 05:35PM

24 hours after the sharpest drops we have green back on CMC and like clockwork prices start to inch up again from the averages today

I reckon traders and bots make a mint off that

I might just throw a bit into each purely for speculation, if they even got close to ATHs again it'd make a few quid

You can say that again

I think next week we might see a bit of sideways movement to cool off after this week between $8500-$8950

Triman111 · 27-02-2020 10:54PM

Hi all. Very new to this and have one general question...what's the story about having/needing a bitcoin wallet. If I buy bitcoin on Binance can I:
A - pay with debit card?
B - does Binance or an other provide wallet as part of their service?
Also how do people think the market will act leading up to halving

Thanks all

Is anyone else starting to become a bit excited?
