Is anyone else starting to become a bit excited?

Is this via the revolut card? I tried to pay for crypto on coinbase with revolut and it wouldnt allow me. Or are you talking about a SEPA transfer?

Yeah SEPA via the app

Thats amazing. Takes 1 - 2 days with AIB.

Bitcoin and satoshis rise in value in tandem, what you're saying is nonsense.
If demand > supply, price goes up. It's the simplest thing in the world to grasp.

Will there be a crash? Yep. Will there be a rise again? Yep. Will people who bought high panic and sell low when they think the sky is falling? Yep. Will that keep happening over and over again? Yep.

In the heads of the BTC faithful, BTC is to USD as USD is to Venezuelan Bolivars.

Thanks for the lesson in economics...I have a grasp on supply and demand now! Will I pay you in satoshi’s or bitcoin?

Could be totally wrong ( again) but ETH looks like it's going to explode on the 5 day ( rising pennant formation)

Re: BTC - thoughts on 40 K by this day week?

BrandonBay86 · 05-01-2021 08:27PM

42k this side of June.

Up 22% / $6000 since the bottom of yesterday’s dip. Solid case for buying the dip.

Hi - My coinbase account (not pro) is suddenly telling me ‘you are unable to buy or sell crypto on coinbase, please contact support’ I’ve tried and cant get anyone! Also as i though it might be an expired card, i removed it and now when i try to add my Visa debit as before, it tells me ‘this type of card is not supported’ Can anyone help me??

Access your account through the browser to get past that error.

Coinbase are horrific, I actually dumped all my crypto out of there soon after.

If anyone needs a sober reminder, look at the lifetime graph of BTC (or Eth). Notice how parabolic all this is.

The steeper the climb the harsher the crash.

I'm a bear at heart, so if it does crash that's accumulating time.

I bought myself a few eth for Xmas less than 2 weeks ago, its up 90%. it'd be nice if it rose a bit slower so I'm not getting half as much when I'm DCAing every fortnight.

Lads with the current gas prices so high has anyone used Loopring Layer 2 to trade on. Apparently the gas fees are negligible because of Loopring zKRollups.

They have a new Android Wallet out now that has zKRollup included.

You have to add some new government mandated info. Log in on the browser and it will pop up. Once updated that will vanish.

Caved, the FOMO was real. Purchased BTC. I want to be cool.

I think layer 2 coins such as Matic , OMG, loopring are in for a big year thanks to ethereum high fees.

Vitalik recommended Looping because of its rollups reducing fees in response to people ccmplaining about fees.

Just thought I'd ask here if anyone had used it but it does look promising now that the Wallet is out(although in beta)

Edit:
He has a great article on Rollups here

Rolling, rolling, rolling, keep that BTC rolling! Nearing another all time high again, and crypto is closing in on a $1 Trillion market cap.

This is an old argument that doesn't stack up. The power with a fixed cap currency is in the fact that they're not adding beyond that cap. That you can divide down the bitcoin unit into satoshi's is not a dilution. Meanwhile, sovereign currencies go the other way and print off more.

No point being rational with a smoothbrain, as I've learned. Best to add to the "Oh, it's one of them"-list. They'll cheer with the next 30% drop and then be silent when it pops 500%+. Too predictable.

Some of the recent comments here on BTC market cap remind me of this Jason McAteer quote.

“I’ll have it in four, I would never eat eight.”

Jason McAteer when asked how many slices he wanted his pizza cut into.

Bought ETH in Dec 2017. Just about back to the price I went in at. Trying to decide if

1) I should get out now at breakeven and get back in at the next dip.

Or do I hang in there another month and
2) make a bit, sell up, buy back in in the dip
3) miss the the drop and start the waiting game again

Or
4) just let it ride for next few years and just see what happens

rapul · 06-01-2021 11:01AM

That's the dilemma!

Only you can answer that but if its money you would miss if it dipped badly again maybe consider cashing out half or less depends on you. But imo if you can afford told hold on do.

BrandonBay86 · 06-01-2021 11:04AM

New Bitcoin ATH of $35,878 @ 4.15am.

I have xlm from the drop here a few years ago now. And a few extra I got along the way. My total value is now up to 1220 obviously it was 3 times as high when it was at its ath. I'm debating cashing out now to buys some expensive equipment but not sure if I should.
I have 0 euro invested so it is all profit regardless but not sure if I should just leave it sit.

XLM up 110% in 24h, NEM 31%, Cardano 25%, ICON 25%

Not quite 2017 levels yet but heading in that direction

Yep, some serious moves across the board in the past couple of days.

I think XLM is a direct beneficiary of people running away from XRP.

Private blockchain, but the market is irrational.

Green&Red · 06-01-2021 02:41PM

Chain link has taken off today

Not sure what the catalyst, it hasn’t been tied to BTC the last month, went down in fact

Dohnjoe · 06-01-2021 02:43PM

BNB at ATH. Reluctant to sell it yet though as the rewards and staking are alright.

Is anyone else starting to become a bit excited?
