That's only bitcoin though. I'd like something that was indexed against something like the top 50 coins.
Made £20K since the summer on the BTX-XBE tracker that H-L offered at the time.
£10K in at the time, and I've taken it out as I've made profit. Now got £10K profit (plus original £10) taken out and put somewhere safer and just £10K left in.
Pity I didn't have more bottle. I've got 15 units worth £10K. Bought 87 to start with at about £110. Today they're about £650.
So if I'd left alone I'd be looking at value of £57K (£47K profit) at the moment. I even sold 15 units at something crap like £480 a few weeks ago before the expected bit coin drop. Hey ho. Thats the way it goes I suppose.
Still made £10K plus £10K still in there so cant complain. First couple of holidays when I retire.
Standard fees? I must admit I do have a bit of bum twitching moments when I'm waiting for BTC to arrive.
Bought a hardware ledger thing but scared to use it so far - and I've "only" got £3K on there.
I've got one of those and it doesn't fill me with confidence. It's had a few 'Zencash' moments when the Chrome app doesn't recognize it after I've unlocked it.
Can't wait till all this stuff is robust and reliable as a standard - but that's the flipside of being early adopters, sure it will be worth it and then some

It won't last, but hopefully there enough time to earn something and maybe cash out what I've originally invested. I need to hit one or 2 big gainers and I'll be there.
Sent 5203.23 eur from gdax to coinbase earlier as I already had 2 eur on coinbase and wanted to withdraw the lot in one transaction.
For some reason my eur wallet on coinbase hasnt updated to show the amount.
The screen shows the 5203.23eur but hasnt added it to the EUR wallet so I cant withdraw it. Do I need to do something or is Coinbase/Gdax just struggling...?
I've been thinking about how different trading crypto is when compared to typical stocks and how they often don't perform against standard indicators. There was an article today by goldbug1 on tradingview about why Litecoin went up so much in the last 24 hours and his reasoning was heavy chatter and public awareness following an interview on CNBC in the US, article below;
Gets me thinking about how much social media and chatter effects the altcoin prices and if an indicator model could be built to incorporate this. Anyway, bit of googling and it turns out someone looked in to this in Aug 2016 with BTC, ETH and Ripple.
From their short experiment, they managed a 35% return (over a 19% BTC price rise) basing trades purely on their model. Full article is here;
Makes interesting reading, I'll do some more searching but interested in anyone has looked into this or knows of an existing model / site that crawls this data and models it.
