Bitcoin....who's gotten into it?

[Timberridge]

When people start taking Paypal, beer and bitcoins in Gear Swap I'll be a believer.

what if this is the begining of the wave of retailers not wanting to take this anymore? Can you blame them for not wanting to deal with this at least not for a little while: http://www.businessinsider.com/valve...itcoin-2017-12

100%. One of the prime measures of a currency is it's stability. It just so happens Bitcoin is going up not down. Beer has a shelf life so that's why it's not a great currency outside of TGR.

If there was a vehicle to short the crypto index I'd be buying it like frozen orange juice concentrate.

Anyone wanna buy some Tulips?

[Flyoverland Captive]

Tulips are too volatile. The smart money is in Beanie Babies.

Don't forget the troll doll.

Anyone else old enough to remember the pyramid parties of the 70's?

More like Albania circa 1996. Anyone remember when most of the nation of Albania invested their meager savings in a pyramid scam that, when it blew up, it started a minor civil war, overturned a government and got a few thousand people killed in riots? Only 20 years ago...

The play is to trade bitcoin for real estate.

I'd get a mansion like iceman

I will be buying more investment property with my BTC profits if/when we hit 100K USD.

This is a fun wave, but what good is it if you don't spend any of it?

I'd encourage you to seek out speculators and trade for deeds, then you speculate them!



Your handle and btc wealth make you a upper echelon user

[Bobby Stainless]

I think I am going to sell off what I have tomorrow and gamble that it will drop Monday.

I've been day trading BTC and suck at it. Lol.

maybe but i don't want to create a taxable post here...
but, really everything was gone with the failure of mtGox so nothing really gained, I guess now in hindsight lots and lots lost

Bitcoin not volatile enough? How about trading futures?

https://www.wsj.com/articles/bitcoin...ers-1512745187 A short quote from the article:

Is bitcoin not volatile enough for you? Try trading bitcoin futures.

This weekend’s launch of the first U.S. bitcoin futures will let investors add bitcoin to their portfolios through the same electronic brokerages they use to trade stocks and options. And futures will allow people who think bitcoin is overpriced to “short” it—bet that its price will fall.

But a key point is that futures will let risk-loving traders place leveraged bets on bitcoin. That means they can magnify their profits if their bets pay off, but also face potentially steep losses if they are wrong.

“Cryptocurrency is already so volatile,” said Aitan Goelman, a former head of enforcement at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. “If you’re futurizing it, it’s like adding rocket fuel to the volatility.”

Anyone playin in litecoin?? Nice 24 hour run.... get you some.

[Bobby Stainless]

Looking for a high point today and then selling my BTC.

I think I need to stay in my lane.

Sold a Range Rover to a guy yesterday and he is coming up with a block chain for medical payments.

Sold a Range Rover to a guy yesterday and he is coming up with a block chain for medical payments.

Of course he is ...

[Bobby Stainless]

Fun story. I just got paid out on a tech start up that I invested in 6-7 years ago. I made 35k on my 50k. 70% ROI.

Had that been Bitcoin, I would have $850,000,000.00

Of course he is ...

He definitely has the healthcare expertise and a few billion to do it. Probably not the only one with that idea.

I'm right in the middle of HCA country.

Medical billing is such a mess.
