Is it easy to get your money back out or utilise it via a vendor? I hear complications are abound.

It’s really easy. You have to be verified and then link your accounts, but once that’s done, it just an ACH.

Did anybody read "Attack of the 50 foot blockchain"? I just have. The author is strongly biased against cryptocurrency and I think he goes out of his way to paint anybody involved negatively, but it seems like a well researched analysis and goes way beyond the "tulips" argument.
I'm not sure how accurate the numbers he gives are though.
I'd be interested to hear somebody else's opinion because if you follow his logic it's hard not to come to the same conclusions he does.

I hope someone here followed this advice

I had bought my LINK in December 2017 at $0.52. I’m kicking myself in the ass for not buying more.

Are you still HODLing? I hope you bought a pile of it.

Bitcoin can't be that great, I keep getting texts and emails with people I don't even know just giving it to me!

Well, if you don't want it send it on over to 34p9Z9EsC7g2LSTbmEwT3t5RGa3nyVPxS7

Anyone jump on the Pi train?

If anyone that has a Coinbase account wants free EOS, PM me. I have Coinbase Earn referral links. You have to watch a few short videos, answer a couple questions and they give you EOS.

It probably takes about 10 minutes.

Bitcoin drops in recent days show the alternative currency susceptible to the same pressures equities face. It would seem the coin would be rising in value given current events, given its "Hedge" marketing.
I'm a little surprised though no expert.

Meh, even gold is down the last 2 days. Who knows...

Invest in N95 masks. Well, too late now I guess.

Like everything else right now..

I almost had a heart attack when I woke up this morning. I did use the opportunity to grab some more LINK though.

Looks like halving came early.

Looks like it's time to pick up some more. Last time it dipped hard (down to 4k) I bought some more and it then shot back up to 12k (where I sold some).

I opted to go with some stock today instead and grabbed some shares of PPL. I've been eying more ETH though and have been a big fan of LINK since forever....

Anybody get in on TP Token?

I stupidly sold like 1/2 my stack about a week before it jumped to $3+

Still hanging onto mine. I have a little bit, but not a lot.

$1000 EoY

What a week for Link.

I dumped 130 tokens at $8.80 to get back most of my initial investment. If I had only bought more back when it was $0.30.

How many are still in? I have added to my Bitcoin holdings and plan to add even more in the near future.

I moved all my crypto (which is not alot) into bitcoin and have just left it there and focused more on the stock market in the past year. If it goes huge over the next decade I'll be wealthy, if it doesn't and I lose it all, no big deal. I timed the NASDAQ really well, selling most of my stocks the first couple days into February's crash and buying back in 2 days off the bottom in March.

I'm still here.

I have LINK, BTC, LTC, ETH, BAND, BAT, COMP, XTZ, XLM, BCH, MANA, XRP, and a few others.

Still here staking ADA.

Bitcoin has topped 17k (again). I say again...but this time is very different than the last time. This time it has happened very quietly (compared to the crazy hype last time).

Anyone want some free Crypto?

never thought I'd see bitcoin go to 20k again

seriously thinking about just buying crypto straight from my paypal account.
https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/cryptocurrency-on-paypal-faq-faq4398?app=searchAutoComplete#:~:text=Are%20there%20any%20fees%3F%20%5B&text=There%20are%20no%20transaction%20fees,holding%20Crypto%20in%20your%20account.

"Are there any fees? [valid thru December 31, 2020]
There are no transaction fees when buying or selling Crypto with PayPal until 2021, and there are no fees for holding Crypto in your account.

If you use a linked bank account or debit card as a funding source to buy Crypto Assets, your bank may charge you its own fees, including overdraft fees or insufficient fund fees, if applicable. PayPal is not responsible for any fees that may be charged to you by your bank.
More information on pricing and fees can be found on the PayPal Fees page, the PayPal Cash Long Form Disclosure and the PayPal Cash Plus Long Form Disclosure."

I've been holding, or HODLing as crypto people like to say, since 2017. My best performing coin is up 1,230%. My only complaint is that I didn't buy more.

Since 2017 I've more than doubled my BTC holdings and I'm adding small amounts monthly...even now. I'm looking at two or possibly three more halvings as a good target value. So roughly another 8-12 years.

It seems Paypal making it easy to buy Bitcoin has really helped drive up the price in the past few weeks. How high will it go?

I doubled my investment this year. Not bad.

Beginning January 1st (friday), they start their fees.. which is as high as 2.3% when buying or selling

Kind of sucks too because you can’t send or receive it, only buy and sell.

Seems bitminers are using same amount of energy as 200m people. This can’t possibly fail..

Then don't invest in it.

I bought a bunch more Bitcoin a few weeks ago and it's through the roof... tempted to sell it like a daytrader to lock these huge gains, are most of you holding?

I’ve been hanging on for 3 years.

Etherium has gone up nearly 25% in the last 24 hours, weeeeeee!

Yikes. If you were enjoying your gains over the weekend, don't look at your portfolio. I almost threw up.

Down a total of 17% across all my coins in about 3 hours.

Been HODLing for 8 years, it’s gonna be 6 digits and anyone who still thinks bitcoin is a failure and not going anywhere looks stupider and stupider by the year.
99.9% of bitcoin ownership has been profitable.

In less than a decade those who bought in 2017 and the “big crash” will look like peanuts and a screaming deal. The new investors in 2025 will be thinking “people really killed themselves over 17k bitcoin?!? Idiots...” as bitcoin sits at hundreds of thousands lol. Even if you “lost it all” when it was 17k right now you’ve earned almost double if you weren’t dumb and sold at a massive loss.

Some people are pissy in the stock market thread because they didn’t buy an asset that has grown by literally 8,900,000+% percent since the beginning. Stop living in denial, fiat it dead.

Even if bitcoin crashes again, which it will, 30k will be almost nothing compared to the price in less than 5 years.

I'm definitely really curious to see where crypto goes. It seems to jump hard in January like clockwork, then crash. I didn't pay any for my coins, I just mined them over the years.

I had a bunch of Bitcoin back in like 2011 (50-100), but used most of it over the years when it was worth <$100 since I was a broke college kid and paid nothing for them. Though I still have some left that I'm just holding on to until it's (hopefully) worth something really stupid.

What's funny is I used to have a TON of Doge, around 2 million. I traded all of it in 2017 when it hit $0.007, and switched it to Ethereum. Still stings a bit to see it jump, but I personally think Ethereum is the best coin and will have it's day.

Yeah, I've been sticking to Ethereum and Bitcoin and I'm pretty happy about it in the past month, even buying more as it's risen.

When do you think that Flippening will finally happen? I think ETH is the future as well but it seems bitcoin will always overshadow it.
When will people realize ETH actually has massive utility?

Any one having issues with being locked out of there Coinbase account or having it put “under review” so you can’t access your portfolio.
