What trading platform are you guys using to buy/sell?
I never did manage to sign up with any of the platforms. None of them seemed to want my money - I literally could not make payments!Comment

It's been up and down since I posted that. I was thinking of taking out half, which would be a 50% ish profit. But then I've only got a couple hundred quids worth, so I'm just gonna see what happens.Originally posted by VirtualMonkey View PostSeems to be dropping back down a bit now though...deciding whether to exit and buy back in if/when it drops back downComment

Poloniex and bittrex. I had a trial account with coinigy, which was great, but decided it wasn't worth paying for.Originally posted by ChimpMaster View PostWhat trading platform are you guys using to buy/sell?

I bought my BTC on a credit card with coinbase. Not the cheapest way of doing it, but was fairly easy to do. There's also local bitcoins. I used that for a small purchase of about £100 but it felt incredibly shady, so decided not to use it again.Comment

I'm sure you know the reason why Stellar shot up, which is to do with the IBM partnership IBM News room - 2017-10-16 IBM Announces Major Blockchain Solution to Speed Global Payments - United States
Rumourmill is in overrive that Google are next to sign up (not going to tell you source so don't ask). If the news does come out, sell on the news after 20 hours of the pump. Thank me later (again).
Still waiting on thanks for my original Stellar advice!! You'd have made near 200% gain!"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
