Finally got the call from my dad I had been dreading. Posted: 27 Nov 2018 02:58 PM PST Backstory: I bought bitcoin back in early 2016. Not a lot, I didn't have a lot of money, but it became a lot over the course of the next year and a half. Along the way, I would periodically tell my dad about how my bitcoin was doing. He had a vague notion of what it was, but didn't know anyone else who had some and got really curious. In October of last year I visited my dad (we live in different states) and he had me show him how to buy bitcoin. I explained the risks: that bitcoin was a new technology and there was a good chance it would crash and a small chance that he would lose all of his investment . He said he knew and had been doing some of his own research, and so I set him up on an exchange and he bought some bitcoin. Well we all know what happened a few months later in January and what the story has been since. I have been worried that he was angry at me for talking about, and helping him buy something that had crashed so spectacularly. Well yesterday I finally got a call from him. Surprisingly he wasn't mad at all. He was calling to tell me that bitcoin had dropped below 4,000 and that he had just bought some more. He wanted to make sure I didn't miss my chance. Got to hand it to him, he's got guts. EDIT: Some of you have expressed worry that my dad is being foolish with his money. It is true that there is a very real risk that bitcoin will completely collapse and my dad will lose a significant percentage of his investment, potentially all of it. To clarify, my dad has invested a non trivial amount of money in bitcoin, but he is retired, and extremely well diversified. Bitcoin makes up a very small percentage of his total portfolio, so there is really no need to worry. He could lose it all and still be more than fine. He hasn't invested more than he can afford to lose. submitted by /u/euthyfhro [link] [comments]

Bitcoin Gets a Thumbs Up From New York Stock Exchange’s Chairman (Barron’s ) Posted: 27 Nov 2018 04:26 PM PST Bitcoin has plunged in price in the past year, but the CEO of one of the world's biggest exchange operators isn't deterred from entering the space. Jeffrey Sprecher, CEO of IntercontinentalExchange (ticker: ICE) and chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, spoke enthusiastically about cryptocurrencies at the Consensus Invest conference in New York on Tuesday. With Bitcoin down more than 80% from its highs, he said he's been seeing headlines asking "Will digital assets survive?" "I'd say the unequivocal answer is yes," he said, adding that "we're kind of agnostic to price." Sprecher was on stage with his wife, Kelly Loeffler, the chief executive officer of Bakkt, a crypto platform owned by ICE that is due to begin operations next year. It is designed to allow digital asset trading and make it easier for merchants to accept crypto too. Bakkt will also be offering a Bitcoin futures contract that will settle every day in Bitcoin. (Bitcoin futures offered by CME Group and Cboe settle in cash). The Bakkt futures contract, Loeffler said, will help Bitcoin traders establish a trusted price. Bitcoin now trades at different prices on different exchanges, many of which are unregulated. Bakkt was expected to start operations next month, but the opening has been delayed until Jan. 24, 2019. Delaying the rollout will "give more people time to get on board," said Loeffler. Starbucks was also part of ICE's original announcement about Bakkt. The platform was expected to help Starbucks figure out how to help consumers "convert their digital assets into US dollars for use at Starbucks," it said at the time. The coffee company told Barron's on Tuesday that it had no timeline for when it would allow customers to pay using digital currency. It said working with Bakkt will position it to offer new ways of collecting payments as cryptocurrencies gain traction. Owners of digital asset businesses consider the Bakkt rollout a bullish sign for the market, perhaps the most important institutional move into the space. At the very least, it's a good sign that major institutions are doubling down on their investments, even as the price drops, said Pascal Gauthier, presixdent of the crypto wallet company Ledger, in an interview. "No one has dropped out of crypto," he said. "They could have walked out but no one is walking away." Write to Avi Salzman at avi.salzman@barrons.com submitted by /u/Sandiegosurf1 [link] [comments]
