who does?

and....

we'll see.

[spadman] 01/11/2017 19:42

fair enough but I dont like to sell high and buy higher. hodl is still the best tactic until bitcoin adoption plateaus. IMO HA!

[mcbeanburger] 01/11/2017 19:39

who can't get back in? just pay the piper.

[spadman] 01/11/2017 18:16

Now 6627, i've taken profits in the past only to find i cant get back in, hopefully it works out for you compound. Im sure we will see a big correction at some point but who knows when?
hodl ;)

Just spotted this re Bgold for Ledger Nano S users:

[compoundup] 01/11/2017 10:46

I have just taken some BTC profits at 6549 with a view to catching the next dip.

[tpaulbeaumont] 01/11/2017 10:35

oh no here come the suits, theyre only going to manipulate the price down as they have with goweld!


Bitcoin surpassed $6,500 on Wednesday to hit a new record high after the CME announced plans to launch bitcoin futures later this year.

The price of the cryptocurrency hit a high of $6,550.14 just hours after breaking through the $6,400 barrier, according to data from industry website CoinDesk. Its market capitalization, or the total value of bitcoin in circulation, hit $109 billion.

On Tuesday, U.S.-based exchange CME said it would introduce bitcoin futures contracts this quarter, subject to regulatory approval.

"We've been working with the regulator. They understand our application. And they understand our model very, very well," Terry Duffy, CME Group chairman and CEO, told CNBC.

The introduction of such a product could bring more institutional investors into the market. It's believed that this is helping to boost the price.

The bitcoin futures contract will be cash-settled and based on the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (BRR), which CME launched in November 2016 with London-based digital trading platform Crypto Facilities. The reference rate is a daily settlement price published at 4 p.m. London time, currently noon ET.

This is why Im not so keen on side chains, if you know what I mean.

[spadman] 31/10/2017 18:09

Its possible compound but I doubt it. In my opinion they dont want to do an MTGox. The way I see it they didnt want to support BTC but now due to popular demand they will. Rather than have an issue they will only support when they are technically up to speed.

Thats how I read it, I could be wrong.

[compoundup] 31/10/2017 10:59

I agree. If individuals leave their crypto on exchanges when upcoming events are well signalled, they must accept the consequences. However, that doesn't absolve an exchange from it's duty to husband it's clients' accounts. As soon as they changed their tune to the intent to credit BCH entitlements, it should have been done. That would have been a PR positive.

Re- the "current BCH pump" [my words]. Could Coinbase have sold the BCH on their wallet after the August fork and now be in the process of buying them back to credit client accounts?

[spadman] 30/10/2017 22:57

Coinbase were just very unsupportive of the fork, hardly hand in glove with some dastardly pump. Despite the lack of support BTC is the 4th biggest crypto which after all these months has meant coinbase are now working on supporting BTC.

Coinbase made it very clear they had no intention of supporting the fork and users were told in no uncertain terms to take control of their private keys if they wanted BTC tokens.

The fact hapless coinbase users will get their BTC after all should be considered a bonus.

I believe coinbase hold between 2-5% of mined bitcoins.

[compoundup] 29/10/2017 22:48

One more concern about BCH: why are Coinbase still holding their clients' BCH entitlement back 3 months after the fork? Could it be that the current BCH pump is to try to get up to a price where they can release coins with hope for less comeback for having held on to them without a reason? What happens to the price when they let go?

[compoundup] 29/10/2017 22:33

Another definition of altcoin is a coin of questionable utility. Some will prove to have that attribute in time. Others such as BCH will not. Specifically, scaling will only keep up with utility, demand and decentralisation with the use of second layer functionality such as lightning networks.
As Andreas has so eloquently explained, the Big Blockers will need petabyte blocks to cope with the volume of transactions a few years from now and they will never be able to offer instant settlement. Only big corporations will have the capacity to maintain block chains that are so bloated. Such a design flaw is very unlikely to achieve consensus.

[spadman] 29/10/2017 21:29

The most important thing about a ledger is that going forward it is maintained, secure and useful. Fork or not.

An alt coin is a new ledger, which pretty much misses the point of keeping a ledger.

[compoundup] 29/10/2017 19:59

Nah! All forks are altcoins in the making. Your calling the top of ETH was smart. I stand by my call on BCH >$800. Won't see that again ;-)

[spadman] 29/10/2017 18:05

Bitcoin cash up 21% today, may the best fork win.

[compoundup] 27/10/2017 13:13

Any suggestions as to how to procure the kit and set up an autonomous full node - i.e. not on a desktop/laptop/etc? I see that bitseed.org are out of stock of their plug and play nodes. Any UK sources perhaps? If not I see that you can build one on a Raspberry Pi infrastructure for less than £100 excl. HDD but would rather not have to do it myself.

[abeygale] 27/10/2017 11:15

I remember creating a thread myself on ADVFN in the past, and having it deleted within 5 minutes of putting it up. I only need to talk about them after a huge rise. Otherwise I am not interested in talking about them.

[steve73] 27/10/2017 10:45

compoundup - thanks... I'm in no rush to get started so, so will wait for the forks.... and do some more research.
SPADman - I'd already had a quick look through.. but with over 3000 posts it's a little daunting... but I will look back again. Pity the really useful posts can't be referenced in the header. I can't use transferwise.. currency not supported, or it wasn't when I last checked earlier this year. I've used xendpay recently, as it beats the banks rates - and it's a little quicker, but notice that its rates are spreading a little more than when I started last year.

[abeygale] 27/10/2017 10:35

However I have the memory of when I saw Online for just 12p to buy in 1996 and I watched them go all the way up to £40 a share in the tech boom.

It was funny that there very first huge rise went from 12p to about 80p and then the next day to about £3.50.

They have always been based on hot air and there has never been anything fundamentally good about them.

[dennisbergkamp] 27/10/2017 10:29

Worse! I saw it! Looked at onlines website, thought it looked awful and summaised that if they can't even setup a decent website, what likely hood do they have of doing well across these investments???

Should have just gambled....

Sadface

[abeygale] 27/10/2017 10:06

Really gutted that Online has become Blockchain and I missed the RNS. Now they are 60p when they was just 20p to buy first thing this morning.
