    Don't blink or we'll miss the pullbacks. GBTC is down $300 from this morning's highs.

    BTC is down $1700 from this morning's high. Crazy stuff.




    I had (have) a limit order to buy BTC at $8500. This morning it looked like it would never be hit. Now it looks like it can happen in a few hours.

    The idea of doing transactions without banks has always been the driving factor of cryptocurrency. If corporations can take over a massive share at high prices, then this could be an easy way to do large transactions without government oversight.

    But then again, I got 4 BC at basement prices. I wish I would have had the guts to stick with the DCA approach.
    THIS IS WHERE I WOULD PUT SOMETHING TO REPRESENT MY THINKING, BUT THEN THEY SHOW UP!

    I'm watching this chart closely now. Right on cue Bitcoin started plunging as we're nearing that 12/1 Fibonacci date. If it plunges all the way into the $7000s over the next day or two I'll be a buyer (of GBTC) again for the ride up in December. Having it fall all the way to that line might be wishful thinking though, so Tom's $8500 could be the ticket...looks like that would be roughly a 50% loss of the rise since that Nov 12th low.

    And to think it was @ 6 CENTS in 2010.

    Tom, why was that not on our radar back then?

    (BTW, I have never owned any cryptos. I don't think I could stomach the extreme volatility.)

    I am interested in dipping my toes into the CC waters. But, I am seeing a lot of negative reviews about coinbase as it pertains to website outages/issues/disabling user's accounts during opportune times to buy/sell. I understand that folks can crash a system with a lot of orders. But, these reviewers are claiming that coinbase purposefully does this. These are the reviews that I speak of:

    Coinbase - 304 Reviews - Bitcoin Exchange - BitTrust.org

    Have any of you ever experienced these issues while using coinbase?

    Hi Rod!

    Coinbase's active trading platform is GDAX (gdax.com) and it works just fine. Plus it has lower fees.

    The low on the 28th, just a few hours after I posted that, was the quick, sharp move down to $8596 - I hope that wasn't the low.

    So, dumb this down for me... if I was to use coinbase:

    1. I must first go to coinbase.com and establish an account and wallet.

    2. Then I go to gdax.com to buy and sell?

    Or, is it all done at gdax.com?

    It's been a while since I used coinbase but yes, all non-trading account activity for GDAX is handled on coinbase. Then, after you establish the gdax account, you can trade on either platform by quickly transferring cash or cryptos between the two accounts.
