It does not matter what $ value BTC goes down to. I know at the end of this year it'll reach new dizzy heights. The game everyone should be playing right now is coin accumulation."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

I've too little skin in the game to make it worth the hassle of the first game and the second is too risky for me when it required more than a few quid to play, so my coin accumulation is currently purely FIAT -> crypto where that direct route is available.
Any other games I've missed that have been mentioned in this rather long thread?As thread owner you could edit the first post to put an updated summary as things progress.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

I never switch between alts. If I go short on one alt I stay out in BTC and buy back with the exact same amount of BTC in the same coin.
If I stay out I'm staying out for 1-3 weeks whilst coming out in a cold sweat."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

I know a lot of folks are holding into Tether instead of BTC, i.e. going back into fiat. But I'm quite skeptical as to whether Tether has $2.5b in cash so I stay away from it."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Used Uphold last time but now my payment is stuck at 'processing' for last 2 hours. It did say it could take up to 24 hours to complete but last time it went through pretty quickly, after my bank confirmed it was me doing the transaction. They've not been in touch yet so I wonder if this is more banking resistance with getting FIAT into crypto.
I hope those whales don't pump up the price before I can finish the purchase. Would have used the always slow SEPA transfer to save a few percent in fees if I thought it would take this long by card.Comment

Short for now but it's looking very bullish in the medium term.
Managed to make 5% volume on the ETC pump so pleased with that
Very annoyed with myself on BNB though. Made the cardnal mistake of not zooming out. had I done that earlier I would have seen we had 5 waves up and were about to correct rather than being in an ending diagonal.

Uphold transfer still 'processing', 6 hours and counting.
Silver lining is that BTC is still dropping so if that continues my transfer from GBP to BTC within Uphold will buy a bit more.If it transfers into Uphold successfully.

I'm being a bit chicken with buying more at the moment. I do believe it's the right thing to do (when BTC hits 5k) but all my stash is sat as a house deposit that will likely be needed before I can extract...just not worth the risk so not happening.

You think $5k is on the cards? Jeepers. The market seems quite oversold at the minute."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
