I made good money on that.
I'm betting on it being £10k pretty soon.

I hear Coinbase have suspended trading in BCH due to possible insider trading.

Just saw a BBC report on bitcoin,

"imminent crash"
"people are going to lose a lot of money"
"it can't be used as a currency because of the volatility"

Not a single positive.

Looks like they're trying to scare off the masses.

They've been saying this same shit for years even though it's been used as a currency since 2010.
In the meantime, billions are being traded daily and show no signs of slowing.

Guys,

I'm looking to put some small amount of money into one of these so called currencies to see what happens.

Is anyone able to explain in complete layman terms what I need to do?


So far I have;

Downloaded an app called 'Coinbase'

and an app called 'Shape Shifter'


I am quite literally clueless.

All I can pick up is that I put money in from bank account.

Then 'convert it' into 0.003344XXXX whatever currency.

Then where do I keep it?

I want say £250 of any currency.

Cheers,
Tom

Either trust some company to look after your coins or secure them yourself.
Coinbase is a US based currency exchange where you can buy and sell various coins.

On a side note, today is a day when n00bs learn what a minor correction feels like.

Buy whatever coins you want rather than using shapeshifter as you'll end up paying bitcoin transaction fees for putting your coins through shapeshifter.

For the purpose of buying coins to sell at a later sate for profits you don't need the extra privacy that shapeshifter offers.

You can avoid getting done over by the coinbase fees by opening an account at www.gdax.com using the same details & email that you used on coinbase, send from your coinbase account to gdax and then send from your gdax account to your own wallet.

Coinbase might decide that they want you to verify your ID and you've just got to go with what they ask.

Remember when the weekend always saw a price drop?
The few people that I advised to buy recently, I told them to buy and forget them for a year or two.
They call me every time the price drops 2%.

Does this mean their sole purpose for buying bitcoins, and the sole advice you gave, is based on making a profit by trading them back into real-world money...?

When that's what people have asked about, it's pretty sound advice.

Remember... the underlying demand is not from investors.

It means that whenever anyone asks me if they should buy bitcoins, my default reply is:
'Historically there has never been a bad time to buy bitcoins'.
Their motives are of no interest to me.

But that's not true. Bitcoin had dropped 25-30% since last Sunday so historically last Sunday was the worst time to buy Bitcoin.

The future might well change that as a historical fact but as of right now it's the truth.

Remember buying back in 2013(?) @ £450ish/BTC.

Weeks later, dropped to £180. Laughing Laughing

THAT was a bad time to buy.

Historically it has always gone to new highs after each dip. History is on my side, not yours.

Yeah buying at £450 must have been hell.
If anyone knows people that purchased then, let them know I will give them £5000 for each of those £450 Bitcoins.

You give me £500, and I'll give you the incorrect seed I have to access them. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

History is on no-one's side. It just records fact and the fact right now is that last Sunday Bitcoin cost 30% more than it does right now, so right now historically last Sunday was a bad time to buy.

It's no effort to be clever in hindsight everyone has that ability and let's face it - your 'default reply' is nothing more than a politician's response. No matter which way it goes you'll always be able to claim you were right.

Considering the last people to ask me were when the price was £7000 a coin, I do consider myself right.

Using a week and calling that historic data is laughable.
You would be terrible as a trader and a politician.

But this is exactly why it's a pyramid. Such a setup cannot go on forever.

Do you expect these drops to smooth out? A plateau on bitcoin prices? What would maintain that plateau?

Supply... demand... finite number of coins... work the rest out for yourself. Wink

"A pyramid scheme (commonly known as pyramid scams) is a business model that recruits members via a promise of payments or services for enrolling others into the scheme, rather than supplying investments or sale of products or services."

Nobody is recruiting members and there are no promises of payments for enrolling others.

Do you understand what a pyramid scheme is?

There will be a point where they level out and become a lot less volatile.
This won't happen for a long time though, possibly 10-15 years from now.
Once crypto replaces fiat, there will be no point measuring its value in fiat.
