    I buy and sell BTC on local bitcoin. At first I had started small, but now it’s growing and I never went into the nitty gritty of the legalities in India surrounding crypto.

    Anyone who is active on local bitcoins in India, please guide me . I just don't want to get into any kind of legal trouble.

    In 2017 the founder of Morgan Creek Capital Investment nailed it: "Only gamble was whether #Bitcoin would make if from $0 to $100, that was the real miracle. Going from $4,000 to $40,000 or $400,000 is easy".

    Misinformed

    Posted: 05 May 2019 11:48 PM PDT

    I'm going to preface this with saying I have quite little knowledge of cryptocurrency. I understand that's it's decentralized, and finite. I understand it is something that is up and coming. Some feel it may replace fiat currencies all together.

    Somehow I feel like I'm missing something. Much of this subreddit alludes to the idea that bitcoin will take over the world. It begins to feel overhyped. I think some are attracted to it with the idea of becoming rich, after its value potentially increases, others for the independence from banks or governments.

    I'm curious if there are aspects I'm not seeing? Is it really as great as people make it to be? Is it going to "go to the moon"?

    Hello I will be buying bitcoin for the first time

    Posted: 05 May 2019 06:11 PM PDT

    I thought about buying a couple years ago but saw insane fees for transactions ($6 per buy and sell, I think on coinbase). I found out cash app allows free buying and selling, and will probably start investing hoping to ride back to the ATH.

    My question is, how bad would it be to keep coin stored on this app? I imagine its secure as it is a payment processor. Are there any stories of people having bad experience with this?

    Why is Warren Buffett obsessed with Bitcoin?...

    Posted: 05 May 2019 04:56 PM PDT

    Warren Buffett: "It doesn't do anything. It just sits there. It's like a seashell or something, and that is not an investment to me. It's a gambling device… there's been a lot of frauds connected with it. There's been disappearances, so there's a lot lost on it. Bitcoin hasn't produced anything."


    He recently felt the need to bring it up again at Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting, calling BTC nothing but a "Gambling Device," which I guess is technically an upgrade from Rat Poison2... but for someone who claims to have no interest in the technology, it certainly seems to be on his mind 24/7.

    What's the deal with this guy?

    Tulips and South Sea Bubble vs Bitcoin

    Posted: 06 May 2019 03:51 AM PDT

    I was about to argue that both of the former ran their course within a relatively short time and therefore people comparing tulips and other "manias" to Bitcoin were probably wrong because Bitcoin has exhibited a strong price for much longer than either of these. However, I think that while the tulip mania only lasted a year or two, the South Sea Bubble took about a decade before it deflated.

    I would argue that the much slower pace of things, in particular information transfer, in the 18th century means that you you should adjust for time -- a decade was pretty fast, especially looking at the nature of the South Sea's failure which arose in part because it could not pay its debts which would only become evident after a long time.

    TL;DR: If Bitcoin is anything like tulip mania or SSB, it should have already deflated long ago. Bitcoin's more or less steady price increase over the past decade suggest that it is not the same sort of "mania" as prior manias; it may be a different kind, of course, but it does not feel that way to me.
