Are any entities, which are too-big-to-fail, getting caught up in the Bitcoin mania? What about Chinese Shadow Banks? And what other assets are being sold to finance new purchases? It’s not just gold. That is certain.

The huge meatheads at the gym talk about cryptos a lot lately between their sets. They often give each other tips, advice, price targets and time frames.
. Do you have similar experiences at work/in your environment?

I expect that finance folks and engineers will be talking bitcoin. I work at an engineering firm and the discussions have been non-stop.
But since craigslist jethros, grandmas, and high school kids have started talking bitcoin and trying to figure out how to acquire it, I've started getting a little concerned.

My Cross fit coach was talking about BitCoin today. However, I don't know anyone else who's actually put money into the game (besides myself) except for my friend who's been following the trend for the last couple years.

Thanks just noticed it’s there.
Do you have any security concerns with Binance?
And how long are your deposits taking from coinbase/GDAX to Binance?
I’m planning to do a split between ripple and iota to add to my positions with bitcoin and litecoin
Yes, its on Binance. Coin XRP

You've been a big help, much appreciated.
Yes, I went through the Google Authenticator on Binance. And I also noticed that IOTA selling/transfer is disabled. That's bullshit.
I still plan to pick some IOTA up because I can't seem to get it anywhere else.
How long are you seeing the funding transfers take on Binance? I swear I'm losing so much time waiting for funds to clear, ugh.

I'll give it a try...
On Dec 7th, I transfered money from Chase into Coinbase. It's telling me that won't clear until Dec 16th, 9 days later!
Then I have to transfer that into GDAX, god knows how long that will take. Then I have to buy Bitcoin or Ether, god knows how long that will take. Then I have to transfer Bitcoin or Ether into Binance, god knows how long that will take. Then I have to exchange Bitcoin or Ether into IOTA, god knows how long that will take. Then I have to wait for the IOTA selling restriction to be raised, god knows how long that will take.
Terribly frustrating waiting for all this while you are watching the prices skyrocket lol.

Newbie,
I transferred BTC from GDAX to Binance.
Nothing showing up in Binance, no confirmation, nothing. Does this step take take for it to show up in Binance?

Thanks newbie
It cleared on Binance after 2hrs or so.
I notice that bitcoin cash is being offered on coinbase now... after the massive run-up at opening, coinbase shut down trading (been that way for last few hrs)

I was trying to swap my LTC for BCH, and it wouldn't let me... BCH is going parabolic.

That was kind of my thought as well. Also, BTC has such a grip on the crypto market that BCH actually seems like it could push LTC and the other alt coins out of the market.
I'm only speculating.
Joshuatrio, I'd say that was a good move. Charlie Lee (Litecoin founder) selling his entire stake of Litecoin is def. not a bullish sign. I sold almost all of my LTC as well. Evaluating at the moment what my next investment will be. I like Cardano quiet a bit. Seems very promising. BCH def. seems to have upside. Will be interesting how the BTC vs BCH will play out.

Bitcoin going down like Broomcorn's uncle. Not surprised, as mentioned earlier it has been showing ponzi-scheme like appreciation. Lots of bagholders created at $19K-$17k. They are at the mercy of the remaining whales now.

I don't think $13k is a discount but it has recovered some to $14800 as of now, so if you can trade those swings good for you. But with the amount of time the transactions take you have to be long for a while and I don't see it going back to $20k, on what valuation fundamentals?
hope these bagholders did not end up selling at 13k. ;) looks like we all are getting big discounts tonight.

Just because something is getting accepted everywhere doesn't increase its value 10000 fold. Same for gold or fiat currency. Think Bitcoin is here to stay but such quick large swings could have been some whales cashing out.

Yes, 30%, 40% pullbacks won’t be uncommon, but people will be kicking themselves a year from now by not taking advantage of those pullbacks.

FYI, use LTC for transfers from GDAX to Binance or Bittrex. I used ETH in the past and lately it’s taking forever. Just transferred some LTC over and it posted within 15 minutes!

Looks like bitcoin is starting another rally today. You guys should look into President Trump coin (pres). It’s up 350% over the last 24 hours.
Bitcoin bubble is over, next step is Mooncoin!

BTC $17K
Ether flirting at $1K
Tripled my money on Ripple in just a couple weeks.
What's all the doom and gloom talk?

It’s a time bomb waiting to explode at any moment.
A lot movie makers are already filming “Bitcoin part 2 - The Bust.” Part 1 was real inspirational though. I almost bought.

You might have to wait for the time bomb to explode a bit longer. Binance and bittrex are not accepting new users as they can’t handle the incredible demand. There are a lot of hungry newbies waiting on the sidelines to jump in. Plus, don’t forget the institutional money coming into the space. This baby has legs.

Hi guys,
I'd like to start a conversation on crypto-currency, particularly Bitcoin.
What do you all think about it from an investment point of view today? I have some buddies in the finance world who are quite bullish on it and claim we are just scratching the surface. Judging by the recent performance, they may be right.
For people who are investing in Bitcoin, what are you using to invest and what recommendations do you have for a new investor?
Also, how are gains taxed compared to typical stock market gains?
I read this week that over 100,000 merchants in the USA are accepting Bitcoin today.
At the same time, digital currency does scare me a bit as it seems so abstract. Curious what PatNet thinks.
Thanks guys!
