I've also explained this to many people. I legit have like 20 people who have bought ETH because of me (and they each have like 4 friends under their belts who bought or are trying to buy, so I hear stories) and now I get 100 texts a day asking about LTC and "I get more coins for my money if I buy this and that."

I'm happy I see this because I get a good market mentality. Like right now I'm fairly certain ETH still goes higher because I still know of 10 people who are trying to get verified to buy, and many more who only dropped like 1k or something that want to get more involved.

THIS MEANS MASSIVE SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I can't stress that enough.

On a last note though, I've always stuck with what I thought was the play long term. And now that I see so many damn morons entering the market, it's almost like it could be profitable again throwing cash at ****coin because it's 2 cents.

What I always stress to my pals is that when this **** bursts, its the real deals that move on. Wondering if I need to change my mentality a bit to do some trading with small market cap ****.

what is happening in the crypto market structurally when a correction like this occurs? all the money flows in to the ecosystem during these booms (mostly into eth and btc). but when a crash happens, who are the buyers? who had usd sitting around to buy? is it the people that sold at the top? newbies doubling down on the tip? people margining up? discuss.

The correction happens when the people looking to get in run out.

I have my buddies screaming crash at $150 when eth went from 90 to 200 in a week and it pisses me off. God damn sheep. No ****ing vision.

The next best one is, "I wish I had listened to you at $14"

Sheep gonna be sheep I guess

That's the nature of this world now. I think these bubbles gonna get bigger and bigger.

Read this regarding Tezos:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/c...os_coinss_ico/

The incentive structure for the owners is pretty ridiculous. They will be able to cash-out early and get paid a ton for a pretty questionable project.

Besides, there are several other red flags. They claim to have been working on this for several years, yet the founder was working at his mainjob until 2016 (when someone on reddit discovered it he quickly deleted his LinkedIn or at least made it private).
The ICO has already been postponed and the foundation that should serve as a supervisory body has been handpicked by the founders.

The only reason that Tezos is really getting hyped is probably the involvement of Tim Draper. But Draper is going to cash in, while most of the users will be stuck with a rather useless coin.

The idea behind Tezos is nice, but there are way too many red flags, especially the outrageous incentives for the founders.

Had this from a number a friends this past week. Told them to get in now. They say it's too high and will drop. I say ok, we'll talk again in 4 months and see where it is.

The law is not clear on how it will work and if alt coins are like kind, as they should be, then a like kind exchange could be made. Btc for a house would not be a like kind exchange. How did you come to the above conclusion Irie?
Unfortunately, we may not know for sure until someone tests it with the IRS.

I was immediately turned off when I found at the founders are a high frequency trader and a Goldman executive. They are just looking to cash in. Its likely a very well funded pump and dump.

Not sure exactly. I think they use an average of prices from different exchanges weighted by volume. If you click on the price I believe it gives you the price that it is trading on at the various exchanges. And then it is weighted by volume.

I think the down turn will be more like a balloon that slowly deflates. I think a lot of people have noticed the recent run up and are on the sidelines waiting for pullback.

We might have already started the downturn. Total market cap hit 90 billion twice and then pulled back. But there should be time to get out before we get back to pre April levels.

I haven't been audited so I guess it isn't tested yet, but this is how my accountant handled crypto for me since 2013.

I have two withdrawals that were stuck in "Awaiting Approval" limbo on polo. The first is a week old. My account is verified and the amounts are less than 1k combined.

Other than hounding them through support tickets, is there better option to force them to act on these tx instead of just not having access to my funds? Thanks for any ideas!

You're trading coin on polo right, so would you like to exchange usdt for usd in poker room, Skrill or Neteller ?

No I do not want to exchange anything. I just want to find a way to get their support to even respond to me and just push through a manual trade since the auto was flagged and am looking for any options outside of support tickets.

I have a very small amount of ETH and a random altcoin that I already withdrew to their respective wallets but the transfer has been stuck in "Awaiting Approval" on polo's end for a week now with no response to support tickets. I have also had successful withdrawals since then for greater sums so it seems to be just stuck.

I don't have access to the funds in my polo acct as they are stuck in transit and polo seems to not care.

Umhum, I'm looking for and exchange of usdt or btce code for usd in poker room, Skrill, Neteller ... so if anyone is interested, just pm. I'll pay some vig

what coin? i've read that sia was having some issues a couple days ago. i withdrew some some florincoin and it took minutes.

perhaps just cancel withdrawal, convert to something else, then try again.

Does anyone have some insights about https://basicattentiontoken.org/ ?
I tried to understand it, basically for this to work a lot of people should use their new browser, seems unlikely to happen

My thoughts is they'll end up licensing the tech to Firefox or Chrome. Can't see people changing browsers

I wanna take a small position on an alt coin, from what I can gather I need to take that position in bitcoin.

Only thing I'm used to is coinbase, which this coin is not on obv.

Suggestions on where to buy? PIVX fwiw.

bitcoin = altcoin now? coinbase has bitcoin, ethereum and litecoin

buy bitcoin (can be in coinbase, but will pay some fees), transfer over to poloniex.com. use the bitcoin to transfer into whatever alt coin you want.

No, maybe not clear there but Bitcoin is what you need to use to buy altcoins. Not Bitcoin is the alt. And I have bitcoin on coinbase, which was the reference to coinbase.

TY, will give this a shot.

may I ask which of the two : https://bittrex.com/home/markets and https://poloniex.com/exchange#usdt_btc
you like to trade ?
As I can see, the btc price from Bittrex is often lower than Poloniex and I just wonder why people dont choose to buy btc at Bittrex than at Poloniex.
If you know any btc broker better than these two, pls recommend me.
Thanks

Bittrex

Yeah, from what I can see, maybe I'm doing it wrong, polo doesn't have pivx.

Yeah it doesn't, I bought a bit hoping that would happen. Still no dice. Now the trollbox is raving for it again now that its gotten a nice pump on bittrex.
