Chances are in a situation where you need to do anything quickly Binance will crash with the load

I see there's USDT Tether, it seems to be tied to the Dollar and it's easy to convert to. Probably the best option for a quick get out if needed or no?

If you're going to engage in speculation where you're try to beat all the other suckers participants - why on earth would you ignore the no.1 most important cue (governments turning against it) for getting the hell out of the speculative bubble?

Hahaha, pity nobody bothered to tell PayPal and Visa!

Why are you so hot on BTT? It hasn't done much at all since its release.

It is partnered with all the tech giants.

The software behind it is gonna become the norm.

Justin Sun has just burned tonnes of TRX.



I'm investing in its potential.

Quick question on Binance. How do I change BTC to Fiat quickly. I only see a convert and a withdraw option standing out. In case I want to gamble that I'm at a peak, sell and then buy in on a low, if the low comes. I know it could keep going up but I just want to know in case I go down that road.

Convert your bitcoin to a stable coin (usdt or busd) then take a breather and convert that to euros whenever you want. Stable coins do not fall or rise with the market.

OEP

I would choose USDC or BUSD over USDT. USDT are less transparent than the other two and always seem to be attracting the wrong kind of attention.

I suggest you not invest in crypto - period. There's a worried thread for you and thinks he's clever meme.

Investment carries risk. Speaking of governments: Imagine you had an old cottage in Kerry - nice view of the sea, but too far from anywhere to commute and you went and borrowed a pile of money to do the place up, factoring in letting it via AirBnb to pay the mortgage and hopefully make some profit. Then the government issues a total ban on AirBnb letting - requiring planning is effectively a total ban. You are pretty fecked, right?

At least with bitcoin you can take it with you on holiday to somewhere that hasn't ban-hammered it. Not quite so easy with your over invested cottage.

Dude was only talking about the apparent certainty of posters that something could not happen. He didn't say it would or would not happen. It doesn't have to happen for him to be right in what he is saying.

Why would you sell a portion of it recovers a little when you could have dumped it 70% higher a few weeks ago? What’s changed in your opinion

Short answer: I don't have a crystal ball. Emotional decisions and large amounts don't mix well, so I made a robust plan years ago and have stuck to it, as a result I've been selling since Jan in portions. So indeed I was selling as recently as a few weeks ago, unfortunately there's no way of knowing when the drop is and what shape it's going to take. I sold some on the way down but stopped when it got too steep, I don't really sell into red (I don't buy into green either). I'm too lazy to set stop losses and all that crap. Anything could happen, but my opinion is that a bear will set in this year, so I'd rather sell a portion of the remainder and use that to fund if/when we really dive

Stable-coins carry their own risk. I'm making a nice % on my Tether before I convert to EUR, but I'm still not comfortable in any stable-coin

I agree I think it will rise up
To 47k or so then drop to 20k
Going to sell at 47 and buy more in the bear

Looks solid, I am liquidating a few investments and going all-in on TommyCoin! :eek:

Crypto starts to climb again, got me thinking I wonder has elon tweeted again. Sure enough, a silly tweet about doge causes a 10%+ hike. Seriously, this is a fooking mugs game. Still hanging in to break even and I'm back to indexes....

This is very simple to me, how the hell can anyone be expected to buy a pizza never mind a Tesla with this currency when you risk having spent 10-40% more by the next day. Likewise how is any retailer expected to accept it for payment when your cash register could be down 40% in a few days.

Indeed, but none of this really matters because ultimately it's just a speculation game. No one really thinks that Doge will become some alternative currency, it's just a giant game of chicken. The last lot in are speculating the next lot will pay more.

Ah. By the way Coinbase accept Tether now, around 20 dollars a pop to send, can be cashed into Euros with the usual painful fees.

As predicted, the rebound is kicking in, it's "looking" green, people will be getting Revolut alerts that Eth is up 30% in 24 hrs. Now the battle begins, will the first 5% to 10% drop scare the market or will they pile in? judging by the curve, the next 3 to 4 hours is crucial

I feel it will rise to around 45k and then go down to 20k or so 45 ,could be a good time to sell and buy more when it’s super low for the next bull

Next big influx will be Chinese market and they tend to be risk adverse. But all it takes is a few green candles right as they are waking up to cause a cascade of buys

Dohnjoe

Yup, in about 25 mins the 24hr marks will go to their highest point, and it should stay green for almost another 12 to 24 hours if there isn't another drop, which could lure in a big portion, we'll see. Indeed when Asian wakes up later on and if they start buying could be interesting. Also Tuesday is bank transfer day for many (if people moved cash at the weekend/Monday)

Just to play the side of the bear for once, that money could be used for shorting the market or waiting for a larger dip, not necessarily they are going to buy now
