Cryptocurrency

The fear is impressive to see as always, creates many buying opportunities.

A few exchanges have stopped taking on new customers or are experiencing massive volumes otherwise it would be great to have an opportunity to buy.

What are the actual uses of cryptocurrencies so far? All I can find is paying for illegal goods, and some cafe in California accepts them.

I am convinced there's one more hurrah in bitcoin after this next imminent crash......

I am hoping to buy in when it hits £7k pounds....

No longer I'm afraid - the high transaction fees of the last month have put paid to that.


"Steam is no longer accepting bitcoin as a payment method
Valve explained that bitcoin transaction fees have gone up to nearly $20 per transaction last week, “compared to roughly $0.20 when we initially enabled Bitcoin.”

Diversification rocks... The impact to my overall portfolio today has been minimal, which really surprises me given the amount of red.

If there's one thing worth remembering it's don't go all in on one or two coins.

Double edged sword though surely? You will lose out on the booms. You are basically hedged and limiting your profits and losses to some low number.

Or are you undiversifying at certain periods to suck up rallies?

Can you reveal details of how you have successfully diversified yet retained the upside profit potential?

What r ur transaction fees ?

Bitcoin fees 'av gone so far through the roof over the last month they've 'killed' the currency as a 'day2day' purchase option.
Small/test Bitcoin purchases are also hacked savagely by the 'horrendous' fees.

"Coinbase just charge me $14 in fees to send $50."
"Can you explain why it's so much? Coinbase is asking a $12 dollar fee for a $6 transaction. What the hell?"
"Its crazy this fees! I sent yesterday 63€ and the tax was 7,80€ like 15%."
"Same here and it keeps going up. $7 fee yesterday ,$14 today."

Bitcoin Avg. Transaction Fees

ETH/LTC fees are still 'low'.

Never send through coinbase, send to gdax for free and then transfer from gdax to anywhere else for free too.

[Spoiler]

down about 6% so far today... QTUM is down 40%. Stake in NMR has and ETC has held back the fall.

So what's causing all this?
