Just hodling me....hardest thing ever...seen a 20%drop in portfolio since last night. It will recover though. Mostly due to BTC rallying I think

Is everyone here spending more time moving crypto around than satisfying their contract deliverables?

Poor clients.

Should this thread be renamed 'Plan B happening right here, right now" ?

Yup BTC rally...

Seen it throughout last year, always the same when new money comes pouring into the markets. The smart money just holds. Unless you're feeling gutsy and short some alt-coin positions.

BTC is rallying quite impulsively, broken 1600

US futures market ain't expecting a rapid BTC mooning ..

XBT - Cboe Bitcoin (USD) Futures
Symbol Expiration High Low
XBT/F8 01/17/2018 16600.00 14850.00
XBT/G8 02/14/2018 16610.00 14920.00
XBT/H8 03/14/2018 16660.00 15000.00

The spreads on that 'guesswork' seem quite tight.

Looks like BTC is going to $20k.. it broke that $16.4k resistance, more like smashed it.

$21k would be the next Fibonacci level before we see the profit pour back into the alt-coin markets, could be a few days. Now would be the time to take the dog for a walk. A long walk.

Could someone explain this to me. I haven't really looked at futures...what is it saying?

Poor clients.

FTFY - and yes

I'm new to this and I'm trying to get started on to Bitshare exchange. I'm a bit confused as to the easiest way to get my GBP funds into altcoins.

My plan was:
1. SEPA transfer GBP to Uphold
2. Convert GBP to Dash or other cryptocurrency on Uphold
3. Send to Bishare via OpenLeger
4. Exchange on Bitshare
5. Transfer from Bitshare to my wallet

My alternative would be to use ShapeShift
1. SEPA transfer GBP to Uphold
2. Convert GBP to Dash or other cryptocurrency on Uphold
3. Exchange to altcoins via sending from Uphold to Shapeshift
4. Receive from Shapeshift to my wallet

I'm unsure if these two plans will work, I've misunderstood something or if there is a more straightforward way. I'm struggling to get GBP into any cryptocurrency to get things started....

This post got held back as it was my first so needed to be approved, so here it is again...

Both of those will work - FAIT to crypto via Uphold (SEPA takes a few days) or coinbase by card which is quicker but has higher fees and low limits.

Go Siacoin! (And holly feck what the feck?)

This is getting stupid, I'm well chuffed with performance of last month don't get me wrong but the last couple of weeks have been insane. Time to start shopping for a London Pied-à-terre. Should I wait until Corbyn gets in?
