Title: Bitcoin

So what's going on with bitcoin now the price is $175. Anyone still got it? Anyone recommend getting some
Title: Re: Bitcoin
Post by: matt5cott on January 19, 2015, 16:12:51 PM
Still holding here as  the techs not going anywhere, lots of work is going on building the architecture, I still think we're a good 3 years from proper adoption (if it happens)

US Govt is due to sell some more, could be why it's gone down but that's just speculation from me :)

Post by: Walrusbonzo on February 05, 2015, 21:00:15 PM
I'm still holding a few along with several thousand of another "currency" called ARCHCoin. It's not really a currency though, more like a company stock.

See :- http://www.archcoin.co/ and http://moby.io

As for BTC, the concensus is that the price is being manipulated down, probably to tie in with a climb after the Winklevoss Twins' Bitcoin exchange goes live. So many different conspiracy theories though. I don't pay much attention these days as I'm more into playing Elite Dangerous :D

We may see sub $200 again tonight. I personally think $150~$200 is a buy.

Quite a few of the companies mining bitcoin have reduced or stopped production. They made a lot of profit for their owners from dedicated bitcoin hardware that was made to only produce bitcoin.

As with all commodity markets prices can rise and fall. Bitcoin is a young currency so large variations are expected.

Amateurs and hobbyists don't seem to get much of a look in now

True, several have now stopped mining. Saying that unless BTC is over $300 it's unprofitable, even with ASICs.

For anyone interested in what happened at MtGox...

To be honest the whole issue looks very suspiciously like an insider job, otherwise why didn't anyone notice the bitcoins vanishing without them being replaced with money?

if it wasn't then some people acted very stupidly.

End of bitcoin Sam? not quite. Bitcoin value has dropped but it depends on supply and demand. Really BTC is a worthless item based on computational power and belief and hope. There are plenty of currencies that are based purely on belief and hope. That would be all of them.

Look at any UK currency note, it says clearly 'we promise to pay the bearer the sum of X pounds' making it an IOU. Most currency is stored as numbers by banks, not actual notes or coins.

I sold my bt and had just under $3000 in my MtGox account which I tried to remove for a month but it wouldn't let me... :-(


I'll stick a claim in.... see what happens... doubt I'll get much


wouldn't have been so bad... but my little brother had £1200 worth of bt he wanted to sell... so i gave him cash for them because i already had a authorised sellers account!   :-(

Was down at about $240 beginning of October. Hit $505 yesterday. Crashed to $366. Back at $400 now.

Currently in a bit of a edgy sideways, hoping for a breakout to start another bull run.

you can now bet on bitcoin prices with IG Index

spreadex introduced this a while ago but IG are now offering additional currency pairs other than the standard XBT/USD pair

can bet on XBT/GBP, XBT/EUR and XBT/JPY if you like....

obviously you're likely to get raped a bit by the spread
Title: Re: Bitcoin
Post by: Walrusbonzo on November 06, 2015, 20:08:42 PM
Well the pump is definitely over. 2 day downtrend since the $504 peak.

Potential for it to come back to $250~$270 range March~April 2016. Maybe another proper pump then. This may have been a test pump just like the test pump that occurred in 2013 before the meteoric rise to $1000+.

I pulled my £ from the exchange today, only played with 1 bitcoin as the majority of mine are invested elsewhere. But came out with a 120% profit, so happy with that.
Title: Re: Bitcoin
Post by: Walrusbonzo on November 08, 2015, 10:33:53 AM
It's reaching a critical point again. It's been channeling sideways for a day now. In 1.5~3 hours we're going to get a move up or down. Break the line down and we'll definitely be heading right for $350. Go up and we'll see resistance about $440.

In case you missed it, Bitcoin is currently back up to $1030 / 7350 CNY / £840  :w00t:

Best performing currency for 5 of the last 6 years.
Title: Re: Bitcoin
Post by: Walrusbonzo on January 02, 2017, 12:10:38 PM
Pushing almost 7400 CNY now, that's £865~

Personally, I think the bubble may burst again soon. This bull run has really stepped up the last two or three weeks, to the point i's going vertical. Usually, if it goes up this quick, it comes down this quick. Give it another week or two, we may see a new ATH. Then expect a retrace to at least $1000, it may or may not bounce there. If it doesn't bounce there, I see a drop to at least $800.

If you like catching knives and want a really good re-buy after the drop, $680~$700 will be magic.

All time high for GBP and Yuan today, £937 and 8456Y (£990~) hit. Also up to $1140, just $35 below all time $ high.

I don't think it's done yet, having a correction, BTFD.

don't be surprised if we see $2~3k by the end of the year.

I dabbled a long, long time ago, the fact the market never sleeps was enough for me after a couple of weeks, I also don't like the idea of leaving it on exchanges.

I'd rather stake a % on alts as a hedge and just HODL those as well.

As I said, it's just a hedge, generally as I'm sure you know the alts/BTC tend to see-saw, though alts have certainly exploded recently.

I used to trade alts in 2014 and 2015, but rarely so now, if I do it's bigger ones like ETH, LTC or XRP.

I turned to mainly bitcoin trading about a year ago, that brings in far more consistent money. I also mine ETH, I've got my main PC and 3 mining rigs, 21 RX480s in total. That brings in a bit too :)

Ive got a few questions that I cant quite get my head around, if you dont mind?

Can you buy less than 1 bitcoin?

Can you go short bitcoins are you just buying and holding actual coins?

I thought there was a fixed number of bitcoins? How does mining work in relation to this?

Are the competing currencies the same thing just with different names?

Whats the driver for meteoric rise of crypto values?


Thanks!

Can you buy less than 1 bitcoin?

Yes, it's very divisible, https://bittylicious.com/ is good if you want to chuck a few quid in.

Can you go short bitcoins are you just buying and holding actual coins?

Yes, you can go short via exchanges. just google it :)

I thought there was a fixed number of bitcoins? How does mining work in relation to this?

Yes, the block reward for the successful mining was 50, then 25, then 12.5 see here http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/

Are the competing currencies the same thing just with different names?

Some are just knock offs, generally to do well they have to add value somehow, ethereum and others allow smart contracts to be build and are quite different.

Whats the driver for meteoric rise of crypto values?

Escape from fiat currency via capital flight, increasing confidence, user adoption, business adoption, Japan recognizing bitcoin as a legal method of payment, coins being taken off the market for sale, people buying to speculate, high profile individuals declaring positions, likely more reasons but everyone thinks differently.

Personally, I'd use www.coinbase.com (http://www.coinbase.com) or https://cex.io/r/0/Walrusbonzo/0/ (https://cex.io/r/0/Walrusbonzo/0/) for quick CC transactions. Or if you want to do a bigger purchase and are happy to do a international bank transfer then use https://cex.io/r/0/Walrusbonzo/0/ (https://cex.io/r/0/Walrusbonzo/0/) or www.coinfloor.co.uk (http://www.coinfloor.co.uk)

BTW, big bucks can be made by transferring money to Coinfloor, buying BTC and then selling on Cex.io. I'm literally making hundreds every day doing this, even after all the transfer fees. There is often a £100 price difference between the two exchanges! Cex.io also provides a very cheap way of getting money back to your account. For a flat fee of £2.90 you can do a credit/debit card transfer upto £1500. Please do not share this arb opportunity!!!!

Yes, really! It doesn't take much to open up the two linked sites and verify that there really is a £50~£100 price difference per bitcoin. In fact, right now, on coinfloor you can buy BTC for £1738, but I'm currently selling BTC at £1933 on cex.io. Seeing as I sent £6k to coinfloor this morning i'm already up over £400 for the day.

I'm looking at Ethereum for a buy and hold investment. Really like the concept of it, need to do some more reading about the devs and liklihood they can deliver on their plans.

I'd be very reluctant to invest in Ethereum at these hyperinflated prices. Wait until the bubble bursts and it drops back to sub $50 at the very least. Or if you insist on buying, do some proper TA and be prepared to sell.

Affialited links aside and not that I think you're embellishing or anything, but let me know when you moor your yacht! :lol:

Yes, really! It doesn't take much to open up the two linked sites and verify that there really is a £50~£100 price difference per bitcoin. In fact, right now, on coinfloor you can buy BTC for £1738, but I'm currently selling BTC at £1933 on cex.io. Seeing as I sent £6k to coinfloor this morning i'm already up over £400 for the day.

+1 on the Ethereum, tbh I'd be very cautious about taking major positions in ANY crypto atm, as WB points out, bubble bursting, correction, call it what you like, lots are saying one's due, if, when, and if so what magnitude it materialises as we'll never know, but do a lot of research before puling any triggers!

Title: Re: Bitcoin
Post by: Walrusbonzo on May 24, 2017, 07:35:47 AM
Here is bitcoin since the start of 2012.

We're at point four, which much like points two and three, is in my opinion, nearing the top and the bubble is about to burst. This is mainly because the price rise is going parabolic, and when it does, it tends to crash back down. Just like a jet fighter going up vertical, it will stall and drop.....

Based on the fact that when the bubble burst after point three, it bottomed out near the top of point two, I believe that when four's bubble bursts it'll bottom out near the top of point three. Roughly $1000~$1100.

So buying in at the line, point one, will be my target.

All alt crypto currencies are pumped and hyper inflated right now, the same will happen to all of them, and worse.

280X will get 22~23mh/s with the right settings. The card's RAM timings most likely need tuning, that helps a lot in some cases. An overclock to 1200MHz on the core and 1500MHz or higher on the RAM will also be very beneficial.

If you really wanted to I could use my hex editor to fix the RAM timings, you would need to send my your card's BIOS. But even then, 22mh/s will get you very little.

Bear in mind, I have 630mh/s across all my cards and I'm only mining 0.55~ ETH a day, which at $180+ each is still nearly $100 a day right now. So your sole card at 22mh/s should get you about $3.5 a day.
Title: Re: Bitcoin
Post by: Walrusbonzo on May 24, 2017, 07:44:18 AM
One other very interesting thing to note regarding Ethereum right now.

Due to its current price, the value of Ethereum mined each day is currently higher than Bitcoin. Just another reason why Ethereum cannot sustain these current prices. Before long, someone holding a lot of what they mined is going to dump big.

I used to have a couple of XFX 280xs and they'd do 22mh/s each quite easily. The key is memory timings. Limit your RAM speed for now to 1500MHz, not a single MHz more as that will use a slacker memory timing strap and reduce mining performance..... Unless you have a modified BIOS to work around that.

flashing a card is easy as anything, just need ATIflash 2.74, then use the command "atiflash.exe -p 0 BIOS.rom" where BIOS.rom is the filename of the ROM to flash.

But no point just flashing any old ROM, you need a custom modified one.

The amount of memory is fine as long as you are over 2GB.

Your effective hashrate is more accurate for what you will get paid, but they should really be about the same.

Sounds like you're hitting the thermal limit or power limit of the card, get that fixed first before I give you a custom ROM.

Best thing to try is run MSI Afterburner and have a good view of all the graphs while mining for 30~60 minutes and make sure clock speeds are not fluctuating and temps are not too high.

You want something that looks stable like mine :-

No, it's not that. I had 7950s, 7970s and 280xs before and they all did 21Mh/s+

Try this BIOS - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-kBKCkQPKZCcTRUOUw0bTh6X0E

I've only changed the memory timing strap for 1500MHz. It appears 1500MHz is the highest strap in this BIOS so you shouldn't suffer a performance penalty overclocking the RAM. Try 1200MHz on the CORE and 1700MHz on the RAM. If that don't get you 22MHs+ I don't know what will as your graphs looked fine.

Are you using the Claymore ETH miner? You're not dual mining are you?

I mine ETH on Dwarfpool using my Cex.io ETH address, Dwarfpool is set to payout ETH automatically every 0.1. On Cex.io I manually sell the ETH for USD (there is no auto option). I use that USD to trade Bitcoin and gradually sell it on the GBP market. I then periodically cash out via debit card. Only a £2.90 flat fee for transferring out £1497.10

Has anyone got any recomendation of where to buy cryptos? I want to go long Ethereum and Antshares.

CEX not available in Singapore, Coinbase only allowing 100GBP a week max (bank transfers have been disabled for over a week).

Cheers.

localbitcoins.com should have someone selling, they act as escrow, you can pretty much do what you want with no boundaries with regards to swapping for alts when you have BTC.

4K monitors are nice but the text on them can be really small. Possibly better going for a good 4K large screen TV instead with HDMI 2.

Realistically, no one buys a 4k monitor and uses it at 1:1 scaling, personally on my main PC with 50" 4k TV I set Windows display scaling to 200%, that way it's like Full HD res, but everything is just smoother. So no small text ;)

On another PC with 4k monitor I set scaling to 150%, so I get more usable screenspace, but still text is not too small

I use a 4k monitor at work 1:1 scaling for Webstorm. Would love to have a second one, its amazing how useful that resolution is if you have good eyes.

Tell a lie, I remember I increased the editor text size from 12 to 16, thats it though.

I sold 20 RX480s this week

Bought two GTX 1080Ti so far. Looking at getting a load of GTX 1070s or maybe a few more GTX 1080Ti


didn't realise you were so big into mining

why the swap to the 1080ti ?  just because sale costs on old cards so high ?

online calculators are saying payback on a 1080 is 100ish days... with doesn't sound bad... but a lot can change in 3 months ?

and what/where are you mining ?


I quit mining when I was hit by the erm... place I can't remember the name of shutting down, tempted to mine again just for hell of it / something to do etc.

rx480 / 470 & 580 / 470 are the best bang to buck card, but they are in such short demand, the used market is booming.
So where an Nvidia was a massive leap in price, it is not as bad now.

I got 2x 1070 that run at 31 & 2x RX 580 that run at 28
RX payback will take 85 days, the 1070s 105 days @ the current price of $305 per Eth.
But that is without dual mining - where the nvidia can prob be cut down by quite a few days

Thats not taking into account power usage - my 1070's are set to 65% power, where the RX have not been adjusted except for the bios mod memory timings. Also not taking into account difficulty which is constantly rising....

RX cards were the best bang for the buck until everyone went batsh*t crazy over them, buying them for £300+ on ebay, second hand. So yeah, I sold them all to take advantage of that.

I've decided for now not to buy as many replacement cards. It's the summer, it gets too hot in my house. So for now got six 1080tis and two 1070s. I'm running Nemosminer(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1777336.0) on zpool(http://www.zpool.ca/) as it's more profitable mining many other things on nVidia cards than ETH. Not mining ETH at all anymore.

At first I wanted to buy more 1070s, but then prices of them started to shoot up too and there became a point where 1080ti had the same price/performance ratio. So it made no sense buying 1070s, even second hand. Brand new 1080tis are about the best bang for the buck at the moment, there's so little in it.

Between the 8 cards i'm currently making £40 a day roughly.

I mined a bit on miningpoolhub with their miner which swaps around what's it's mining depending on what's most profitable for you at the time and then had then auto convert all to bitcoins, did about 24hours, got 0.00363143 which is £7 according to google

(24hours might be off a bit, I did it off and on

their miner CPU mined too, which I think is worthless?  but I left it going anyway (ryzen 16 cores yay!)


only did it because I was bored tbh, but tempted to set a machine up mining next time I'm bored

nephew has just upgraded, so my old watercooled 7990 is spare now :-)

It was definitely worth an investment, already back up over £1,800. But the next drop is about to start, not sure how big, but this bounce was so hard and so fast I fear it's a bull trap.

Big news in the bitcoin world today. An arrest has been made in relation to the theft of Bitcoins from MTGox. It seems the suspect is strongly linked to the Russian bitcoin exchange BTC-e, which has been "down" for a few days.

Some suggestions are that outright BTC-e hacked MtGox. Never a dull moment in crypto.

It's the trading commodity of preference on the dark web, at least for the illegal stuff. It is extremely resistant to tracing. That is one reason it is so valuable at the moment.

LOL, I got it pretty wrong, I was VERY sure of ATH over the weekend, maybe $4600. It broke down out of its upward channel on Friday and we dropped every day since.

Hard bounce at $3600 today, hope you got in Egg???

Right now at $3980~$4000 it's right on the upper line of the downward trend since Friday. Either gonna drop BIG from here, or we go up.

We saw the ATH the previous weekend. Thought we'd get another last weekend. Now i'm not sure when it will come, but yesterday's bounce and breakout was pretty convincing we may see another ATH in the next week or two. Or it could be dump on segwit.

Someone here sent me some (then) small amount of BTC free to pay a subscription because I was slightly short. Cant find the thread now unfortunately.

Ive steered clear of BTC because I dont believe the tech is fundamentally superior and dont foresee enough gain to justify the risk, but admittedly I thought it was overvalued from about $2000.

ETH on the other hand has great uptake, a better business model and much further to rise if it does take off.

Nope, generally any bitcoin I have is in trade. I don't like loss, so unless I'm sure about its direction over night generally I will take profit. Never regret taking profit, always regret a loss.

Plus for much of the last 6 months, the two exchanges I've traded on have had a large price disparity. So I've alway been able to sell out on one and buy back cheaper later on on the other one. So in which case, no reason to hodl. It's only when there are are huge moves overnight like last night where it doesn't work.

Got some fine analysis coming up for you folks.

3 day MACD Chart for 2017.

I try to keep analysis simple, I look for easy patterns. I don't care much the real technical meaning behind it.

I put Bitcoin price action for the year in a somewhat obvious upward channel. Tops and bottoms seemingly perfectly in line.

Using the MACD indicator I have circled the starts of each period of "green" and the corresponding price point on the graph. As you can see, history this year shows that the start of a period of green for the MACD on a 3d graph is the start of a big run, with the peak coming 4~6 weeks later. The hope here is that the pattern repeats again and we touch the top of the channel again. This is around $6400 currently.

I have done similar on this graph, but using the StochRSI indicator.

As you can see, history shows that when the StochRSI is just below 80, the bull run has only started. The top is not in until we are near 100.

Let's hope history repeats again. Good luck.

Post by: Walrusbonzo on October 13, 2017, 18:42:37 PM
But remember, we're talking 4~6 weeks for the potential top. We could definitely have some more bear action first.

So I'm not saying, put your house on it. This is just a possibility. There are others, which is why I also keep an eye on it and somewhat go along with the market at the time, even though i'm fairly sure we'll go much higher in weeks to come. Yes, you could say my trading style does not match my long term analysis, it doesn't. But that's me.  :rofl: I like to play the swings and make more long the way, helps reduce risk while you're at it.

Yes, but even 6 x 1080ti and 1x 1070 only makes me £15~ a day, and with leccy cost of £5.50~ it's not a lot of profit. I wouldn't recommend mining to anyone that doesn't already have the hardware.

you still mining Will ?

I wasn't really into it, but figured I'd mine again in winter when the heat has a use... but set it going the other day and returns looked like next to nothing... was only trying to hit the 0.001 minimum on cex so I can sell them and cash out :-o

edit/p.s multiminer thing so it keeps mining most profitable coins and then auto-trading for bit coins

Yes, but even 6 x 1080ti and 1x 1070 only makes me £15~ a day, and with leccy cost of £5.50~ it's not a lot of profit. I wouldn't recommend mining to anyone that doesn't already have the hardware.

Ive been mining ETH for a few months. Difficulty has doubled since June (not sure when you last mined).
So unless you are investing your earnings into more rigs, faster cards, etc. it comes to the point where its not worthwhile... unless your doing for the sake of ETH doing a 'bitcoin' in value.

Bottom of the channel is still $4500~, we're currently banging right off the top again.

Remember the bear market of 2014, $1175~ to $160. 7.5x drop.

A drop from here, 50% fib is $4600~

All higher time frame indicators say overbought, should go down. Price action goes against that though, so who knows?

Isnt BTC tech just terrible compared to the proven alternatives?

I cant get my head around it, transaction fees are ridiculous, mining return is low, functionality is non existent. I cant see a real world use for it over ETH (or many others).

I'm happy as its good for crypto exposure in general (not that any other coin is tracking BTC price) but it feels like its speculative money rather than educated tech backing, which means if it goes crash it could fall hard.

Of course I'm also bitter that ive have the same opinion since it hit $1000 and didnt put any money in ...

So here's a couple of questions...it's bitcoin in the media as much as it is in NZ? Seems there's at least one new article each day.

Next question is, where's the best place to start. I kind of feel now that yes I missed the train, but that there'd be no harm in giving it a punt with maybe $100-200 and just seeing what happens, if such low amounts are possible.

I understand the basics that mining involved etc, but I figure my hardware won't do much, I also get that there's trading, but obviously don't know where to go in terms of sites you guys trust...

What do you mean by "it's bitcoin in the media as much as it is in NZ?", did you mean "is bitcoin in the media as much as it is in NZ?", yes it is, everywhere.....

You didn't miss the boat, people said the same when it went to $250, then it crashed back to $60. They also said the same when it was $1200 before it crashed back to $200, look at it now.

Yes, it will crash again, I'm sure it will, you could even say the crash has already started.... At least I hope this is the start of the crash and not just a pullback. When it has bottomed out would be a good time to make a longer term investment. Might take some time to bottom out though, and maybe I'm wrong....

Assuming you are in NZ, then ideally you need to find an exchange you can transfer money onto so you can buy. Where are you?

One problem is there are lots of companies and people trying to get others to invest their savings in bitcoin as if it was a good option. Some of them are very shady indeed. Ran into one a few days ago advertising on facebook, using a fake BBC page. This would partly explain why it has gone up so fast.

The main problem at the moment is the limit of production. If they solve that or if the market really does collapse then a lot of people will lose.

If you want to get involved it's probably more sensible in building a swanky new processing computer and start making bitcoin yourself.

You've answered your own question - you can't afford to lose much, and the only reason you want to invest is because you're scared you'll be spiteful if it goes to $1m a coin and you've missed out. Isn't that the very definition of a speculation - when you invest simply because you keep reading about how something keeps going up and everyone else is making a fortune?

On the other hand if you want to invest because you a bitliever (see what I did there?) then go ahead, you won't panic sell on a drop and you'll hold for the long long term.

Do think on why you're buying in. People like Will are traders and make money regardless of the long term by trading on swings of the price. Other people are totally sold on the technology and believe that crypto will replace (what they call) fiat. If you do buy in, buy in tranches in case it dips.

Your best bet may well be an international exchange like Bitfinex, Bitstamp, Cex.io or Coinbase. You'd have to do a USD deposit to any of them. You can also us credit or debit cards on Bitstamp, Cex.io or Coinbase, but beware of fees.

That's not a problem.



The maximum bitcoin production is 3,600 bitcoins a day. Surprisingly that is built in to the system. They need to make some big changes to improve that limit.

If they don't then we hit max Bitcoin...

"The total number of bitcoins in circulation currently stands at 16.7 million, which will continue to rise until it reaches 21 million - the total supply set by the currency's rules."

So?

Although it's often touted as a benefit, capping supply is an issue, because it is likely to ultimately lead to deflation. Although some people will claim that governments being able to print money is a bad thing (and in scenarios like QE I think it is), increasing M2 is one tool used to encourge inflation. And inflation is hugely important in maintaining the economy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Decade_(Japan) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Decade_(Japan))

There's many awesome things about blockchain. Capping supply is not one of them.

There's always another opportunity in this space though, I learned the lesson (never go all out of BTC) and just got back on the horse.

Why would you kick yourself. Say you made $15,000 out of it that's fantastic. House deposit. Would you have rather the price collapsed before you sold. FOMO is such a strong emotion. If it's any consolation you've made more out of bitcoin than I ever will as I think it's a total load of bollocks.

I mostly kick myself because in the new year I said to a close friend I was going to hold what I mined from that point on. I didn't follow through on that. I didn't need to sell what I was mining at that point. I'd mostly paid off the cost of the hardware that I had.

Yes, I made good money from it, but I didn't make £0.5m, or even the realistic £100k I would have made had I actually listened to myself. I already had a house, a good job, no money worries etc.

It's fine, it's done, can't change the past. I've moved on and sticking to what I do well. But still, I can kick myself for not taking my own advice when really I reached a point where I didn't need to sell.

It is important to reflect on what could have been, it helps you see where you went wrong. How you can improve. I always strive to be the best I can and to win, it's the only way I know how to be. Never give up on believing you can do it better. I could have read the situation better and I definitely could have traded better throughout the year. If you don't try to be better you just get worse.

I'm not fussed either way on it. I've read a lot of the arguments for and against. It is what it is.

There's not a single good argument I've read in favour (bitcoin). That IOTA looks alright though, I think.

Personally I think the only valid argument for Bitcoin having a limited supply is that it's a good way for traders and holders to remind others about it's "scarce" supply and that is what will help it gain value.

Basically, it's some good news spin for traders and early investors to make the price go higher.

But as I said, I don't really care either way.

Really hoping we get a crossover of the MACD on the 12hr, should see us retest $13,000 in the next day or two. StochRSI has crossed over on the 12hr, suggests more down.

Then hoping there is enough momentum for a MACD crossover on the 1 day followed by the 3 day. 3 day StochRSI hasn't reset properly since July. Been far too long since we had a good pullback.

I think fundamentals and TA are out of the window at this point, at least until the market returns to some normality.
We're just in the biggest bull run of all time. I trade SP futures and all they know how to do is go up, just like bitcoin, but with less risk (in that there's some fundamental value to stocks). You should try that in addition to your crypto trading, same principals, another opportunity.

We'll see, it's testing the top of the downward channel it appeared to be in.

In theory it could drop below $5K, possibly as low as 3. It depends on the buyers and their loss of belief in Bitcoin.

3 / 5 of my las uber drivers have asked me about bitcoin.

Snapchat has adverts by buzzfeed recommending putting $50 into bitcoin using coinbase.

USDT looks increasingly like a scam that will crash with bitcoin and there's a lot of margin trading driving the price up.

I'm out of everything except NEO and Eth for now and what I have in there i'm willing to lose.

I think cryptos are fantastic but I think all corporates are going to setup and use their own proprietary ones. There's no upside in using one they cant control. The oil companies have setup a group to establish a token for commodity trading, the banks have been doing something similar for a while.

I cant see why any of the current coins will maintain much long term value.

Yes, there is a possibility based on TA. It only takes BTC to enter a proper bear trend like it did in 2014. It might just take a bit of fuel to burn the house down.

Up to $7.7k to break back into that channel, which of course is going up all the time.

The next trend line down from the downward arrow is $2.6k~, also rising daily, but less so.

Tonight, maybe we pull back to $7800~, but it's certainly possible that we go to $9.5k in then next day or two as the 12hr MACD suggests. If we do pull back to $7800 and support there fails then we'll carry on down. Will be good to see how this weekly bar closes.

So after all that, we went to $9.1k, which meant we touched 30d EMA on the 12hr. I sold out at the point to either buy the pullback or watch it drop. And here we are sub $7.9k and have broken out of the upward channel again. Very real chance we carry on back to $6k now.

Seems the bottom of the channel has strong support. Good bounce this morning.

Some ideas :-

ive setup a revoult card - which is perfect as the money is for holiday spends, so I can sell & transfer in Euros then convert to GBP or USD in the revoult app.
Just waiting for my payout from coinbase now....

Out of interest what venues would you recommend for trading crypto. I've avoided investing in it, despite having read about it years ago on here and having watched it rise and rise, since I can't price it. But, though I don't have time at the moment, it could be interesting to play around with some momentum type strategies, especially now there has been so much more hype around it/more liquidity etc..

Cheapest place to buy, easiest and cheapest place to get money in, Coinfloor. Usually I send International Payments in GBP while having my breakfast(8am~), by 9:30am the funds are on the exchange for me to buy with. But not great trading fees and there are no decent phone apps for trading through the API. So I wouldn't use for "trading". There is an Android app from 2014 that barely works.

For trading, try Bitfinex, BitStamp or Coinbase (Has 0% trade fee for market makers! )

For getting money out, when it works, best place is Cex.io as it often has a good premium over other exchanges and it's the only exchange that offers withdrawals direct to Debit and Credit cards.

Looking into Revolut, downloaded the app, seems really promising. USD, EUR, GBP and BTC accounts all in one place!

Surviving? Shocking year for "price"

Ironically a fantastic year for development in the space, Lightning network I'm very fond of. Furthermore many of the dreadful ICOs are being flushed down the loo.

There's a saying in the Bitcoin space "If in doubt, zoom out" regarding the long term "price" The OP from Sam highlights this nicely.

So what's going on with bitcoin now the price is $175. Anyone still got it? Anyone recommend getting some

Oh, and this tweet https://twitter.com/charliebilello/status/1072150714913312768
