Any values out there you guys are looking at?

I don't know shit about investing. I have two guys that handle my main investments. Neither have invested recent deposits (monthly auto deducts) in the market and holding it in cash right now. FWIW.

This is a good way to get ripped off.

If you have any expendable cash I would highly suggest investing in Coinbase after its IPO!

OTPT - the fee seems to be 1.49% when I sold.
When I bought some Ethereum, maybe it was the same at first, but then they either went to a flat rate, or based off of a minimum? My purchases of $35-50 were charged $1.99.

Went and found this on their website. I guess the answer is that the fees vary.

In order to ensure that transactions are processed on digital currency networks, it's best that all outgoing transactions to external digital currency addresses have a mining fee attached to it. This fee is paid to the digital currency miners, who process the transactions and secure the respective network.

Coinbase does not pay the network mining fee on behalf of customers for outgoing digital currency transactions.

The fee you pay for outgoing transactions is calculated dynamically at the time the transaction is created. This means that the fee may be higher or lower depending on the overall transaction volume currently on the digital currency network. The fees are displayed on the send confirmation screen. Please note that no portion of this fee goes to Coinbase.

To make things more confusing, I also pulled this off the website.

Just FYI, not sure if it was temporary or if you bought at a certain level or what, but they gave me some Bitcoin as part of my transaction. More than made up for the transaction fee.

Bitcoin back over $17500. Litecoin back over $300.

Still off of the highs from earlier in the week, but this is a good sign.

LTC is going to go ape-fucking-shit in 2018. I just bought 10 more of them.

ETH will do well as well, but I am certain that LTC will be north of 1500 by this time next year. That may be conservative.

If I were just dipping my toes in, I'd go with LTC. If you are wanting to pile money into this, buy both equally with maybe a higher concentration of LTC. I am absolutely certain about LTC pulling a 5-10X'er in 2018.

No. Buy the cryptos and take them offline (either paper wallet or trezor, keepkey, nano S. whatever) If/when coinbase gets hacked, you are going to get a stock haircut like no other ever seen. I would never buy the stock of a crypto exchange.

NEW YORK CITY - A New York man has been arrested after he reportedly made over a Million of dollars selling Chuck E. Cheese tokens as Bitcoins on the streets. Marlon Jensen, 36, was arrested a Sunday morning when NYPD stormed his home.

ETH > 8 hunji

The fact that BTC refuses to correct and seems to just be consolidating here, even after the CBOE and CME came online with their futures bullshit tells me that it is going to turn higher again soon as well. BTC is getting to a point that even I am underestimating it. BTH (Bitcoin Cash is well north of 2K now as well). BTC, BTH & BTGold are a combined 21/22K right now all together. Redic....

LTC, once it breaks out of this cup pattern is going to rocket.

PS: I used the wrong chart. I should have used one with the 420 top in it, but it is the same thing.... ie: once LTC lights up 420-ish, it'll go higher again. #NoPun

When did you buy your BTC and do you hold it on an exchange or offline wallet? Reason I ask = because you may be the proud owner of Bitcoin Cash and/or Bitcoin Gold. Bitcoin Cash is going to be big one day (already over 2K, but could and should be bigger right now).

Been a few months. I think it was under $2000 when I bought it. It was before that big split that happened.

If it was before 8/1/17 you have both Cash and Gold but only if you moved your BTC offline and have access to your own private key(s). If you left it on Coinbase (assuming you used Coinbase initially) then you MAY gain access to Cash soon as they are going to begin supporting it, to some extent, in 2018 supposedly. We do not yet know if they will allow sells and buys, but they are saying they will "support" it, which to me means they will at least allow you to sell. The way it has been ramping lately, though, tells me that they are likely going to also allow buys and peeps are anticipating a panic buying opportunity and it'll jump big. Also hearing a lot of talk that BTCash will supplant OG BTC at some point due to transnational speed and cheaper fees. But on the other hand, everything that has told me that BTC is going to go parabolic keeps telling me that it is going to continue on it's path. At this point, it is becoming confusing as hell. I think a lot of this is driven by FOMO, but I'm not selling jack shit yet..... because of FOMO...... lol

Hmmm. I'll be interested in seeing what happens when they support it then. I am very happy so far, but I to am not selling yet. Saw a prediction of BTC hitting $400,000. That wold be nuts.

I'm actually starting to pull the reigns back on BTC predictions lately.

I'm definately not saying that it won't happen, not at all... I'm just saying that there is a real frickin good chance that someone comes along and kicks BTC in the jimmy.

Watch this:

I have to watch it again, I only listened to it at work today while I was busy AF. Gonna listen/watch it again.

I feel like, if/when the next best crypto mousetrap comes along (if it has not already) and we can identify it, we will all be driving around lambos with Ted Nugent riding bitch by 2019.

by **tTy** 2017-12-18, 23:54

LMFAO, I bought 1.48 LTC's yesterday for a couple bucks shy of $500.00. Looked back at my account history and I bought 20.16 for $773 in late June. Bought 6.5 for $161 on May 3rd.

Really wish I would have pounded LTC harder after I realized that BTC and ETH were legit. Oh well...... 2018 is a brand new year, I already know a million percent more than I did at this time last year, and if opportunity presents itself I pray I have the balls to pounce..... I just hate the thought of creating a tax event, but if/when it becomes clear that I could move everything into a can't miss lotto ticket, I may do it.

Veritaseum seems like it might be the ticket. I have been watching this one for months. Looked into buying it, it seemed like a fucking pain in the ass back in, what, August when I first brought it up? Maybe things have changed since then. I don't know, just posting posts....... This crypto stuff is crazy though. I hope I've helped some of you make some cash here..... I wish I'd have seen more participation in the thread earlier on back in late spring, early summer..... I tried. All that said, we are ALL still early adopters. We all can still make a LOT of money on this stuff and secure the financial future of ourselves and loved ones. There will be other, probably even bigger, opportunities coming in the near future if we can only identify them before they go mainstream. I think this Hashgraph shit might be the big one that takes out blockchain and makes paper money turn to shit. We'll see.

LTC banging on 380, YO!!!!!!!!!!!
