very informative, thank you!
Very useful! Thanks :)
My utmost pleasure, licklake!
BTCnews is a fantastic app for crypto news. I get headlines all the time on my phone of the latest with them, and it helps me to stay on top of them all. Cointelegraph I enjoy as well for a lesiure search!
Coinbase has been going down for maintenance a lot lately. Maybe they're making drastic improvements to help handle increased traffic, but I'm starting to lose faith in them... I like my Ledger Nano S
I'm about to ream them a new asshole. I wanted to buy ETH at 166 dip today and was locked out until 190. KILLEN ME
Regarding Z-Cash JP Morgan dropped $100 million into it this week. This action caused Z-Cash to grow 100% in value over 24 hours.
I have two things to say about this.
1st - when else in your life have you had the opportunity to buy into an investment before the banks get involved? not until Digital Currency for me.
2nd - The playing field is even. I wanted to buy shares of Air BnB, but by the time I get to them I will have been front run by the investment banks and the special access bankers and investors.
CHASE THE MONEY. You are 100% right on the banks. If the banks are propping up a space or a portion of the economy, you should be there.
And yes on getting in before or at the same time as everyone else. When IPOs were huge in the 90s there was NO WAY you could get in before they popped. Later, you had to run a startup or be in on the ground floor to get rich.
The playing field is now much more level thanks to crypto.
The squeeze and currency competition will happen!
What? No Litecoin as a LTH?
I ended up using coin mama for my first and only purchase 3 months ago. As I posted earlier, COINBASE won't confirm my debit card to perform buy and sells. Seems they either send three withdrawals or a 2 dolloar withdrawal .
Echo the below on Coinbase - yes it's been having a rough time this week. But they're working through it.
Trezor is highly recommended here.
BTW, I've found Randy Hilarski here to be a good source of knowledge.
And have to shout out my own site - http://metacoin.co - is that okay?
Keep it coming!
Great info. I'm using coinbase. I have the 2 step verification with my phone. Is there anything else I need to do to insure the wallet they provide is secure?
Thank you! Sharing it with friends now who've still got questions and haven't getting their feet wet ;)
