    I made this for 20K, but can't wait anymore :-) [OC]

    Best thing about Bitcoin is it trades 24/7/365. There is no waiting for markets to open and it makes stock trading look like a legacy platform.

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 05:06 PM PST

    Stocks and shares trading happens at a snail pace in comparison. News get released at the end of the trading day to let the market adjust before trading restarts. Bitcoin reacts in real time to news and adjusts, this means it is more volatile but it is real time sentiment. This also means it is a lot more engaging, IMHO.

    Update: Forex does not trade 24/7, but it is close. With the time zones changes it is only unavailable for a small window.

    Update 2: I agree with all the hodl'ers out there but even we need to pick the best time to increase our position. Just saying it is nice to react in real-time.

    For those that say it massively affects your ability to sleep or chill on the weekends, being a hodl'er makes it a lot easier because you only worried about when the next 'sale' is on when you can afford it without over leveraging yourself (don't take risks you cannot afford)

    Make Most of the Gains With None of the Stress: Join HODL Gang Today

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 05:50 PM PST

    Seeing a lot of new users asking about how to make some profits with Bitcoin. You'll find that 98% of Bitcoiners agree, join HODL Gang today.

    What's HODL? Simply put, it's an investing strategy of buying and holding without monitoring trends or otherwise timing the market.

    Why HODL? For all the reasons you're here, because Bitcoin is in an immensely bullish position. Also, because the global market for Bitcoin is one of the most opaque markets that has ever existed. Trading in and out of the Bitcoin market is nothing short of gambling for 99.99% of us.

    When to start your HODL? Today. Consider using Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) by buying a small amount of Bitcoin every day, week, or month. For example, instead of piling in 20K today, go ahead and do 2K each month for the next ten months.

    Why DCA? Because it gives you time to learn and to build confidence. Bitcoin corrections are painful for investors who lack confidence. Many will sell a panic floor because they are unable to believe in an investment they still need time to fully understand. People spread disinformation during our weakest moments and you need to be able to judge what's true and what's FUD. You could potential maximum profits by piling all of your investment in today, but you'll have a healthier relationship if you take your time, become conditioned to the swings, and study up.

    When to sell? HODL Gang dreams of living off the interest of their Bitcoin as liquidity markets mature. If you feel it's time to sell, as with making your initial investment, consider DCA. Your 20k became 49k and that feels like a huge run, your confidence is down because of some piece of news you read, instead of selling your 49K today, sell 4K each month. You might be surprised at how quickly you revert to buying.

    What if I have a health emergency? Sell and take care of yourself. Health comes first. This isn't a cult. The excitement you see here is largely from users like me, who spent years studying Global Finance and who one day began to truly see the innovations of Bitcoin. This dream is bigger than you probably realize at right now. Remember, health comes first!

    What if I need to pay off high interest credit cards? This is tricker, you might kick yourself later, but I recommend selling for this purpose. A 22% interest rate is insane and abusive, terminate that relationship and restart your Bitcoin DCA buying after.

    Should I mortgage my house? This is even trickier to answer. First, because I don't give high risk investing advice to strangers. Second, because interest rates are so low that the mortgage cash will almost certainly earn more in Bitcoin than it will cost in interest. For posterity I have to discourage this plan. You need a place to sleep, to have peace, and to be healthy. I'd recommend sticking to DCA but I won't discourage you from crunching your own numbers and making your own well informed choice.

    Does OP put their money where their mouth is? No my mouth is on my face or buried in some tang. I put my money in my hardware wallet and HODL that shit.

    Any questions? Contributions?

    Volatility when BTC reaches 100-200k

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 11:15 AM PST

    So I've been thinking about this, and it seems to me that by the time BTC reaches 100k, the chance of the coin dropping by 50% suddenly becomes exceedingly low, since most of the market cap would come from institutions and smart money, rather than speculators and retail investors.

    At that point, there should only be upside potential, as we move towards global adoption. That's the point when it becomes a store of value rather than a "speculative investment"

    Is this reasoning sensible?

    Explained - The Road to $100k Is Underway

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 11:03 PM PST

    Explained - The Road to $100k Is Underway

    In early 2018, I copped a lot of flak for saying we'd definitely be back to ATH again.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7uqa54/lesson_history_of_bitcoin_crashes/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

    Here's another prediction. Bitcoin will breach six figures by December 2021.

    November 2020

    Dec 2012 - $13 (First halving year)

    Dec 2013 - $1000 (Four-figure breach)

    Dec 2016 - $800 (Second halving year)

    Dec 2017 - $20000 (Five-figure breach)

    Dec 2020 - $19000? (Third halving year)

    Dec 2021 - Six-figure breach

    In late-2016, early 2017, we retraced 61.8% (fib) before building back up throughout 2017 to $10000 for the first time and beyond. You can expect a similar retrace this time as a secondary bear trend grips the market over the next month or two post-holiday season.

    Dec 2016-Jan 2017

    Scarcity is a factor of time. In Bitcoin's case, it takes c. 18 months for the new reality of 50% of the natural sell side evaporating to fully impact the market. Of course, there are several other factors, that I cannot get into in a single post, but they all play into this framework, like clockwork. Tick tock!

    Money is a moving concept

    Where can I find citibank's leaked report for BTC hitting 318k by the end of 2021?

    274 BTC were traded in Venezuela using LocalBitcoin (last week, lowest since 2018), down from 286. That equals 3,585,000,000,000 Bs. (ATH in Bolivares again in Venezuelan currency "VES"), traded volume is a constant USD amount. One BTC is around 18,300,000,000 Bs. Monthly minimum wage is 1.20 USD.

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 05:20 AM PST

    Hi, guys remember I'm Venezuelan living here updating this week numbers.

    We are very far from the 500 BTC weekly we were trading months ago. We are around 300 BTC weekly.

    The reason (I think) is the value traded in LocalBitcoin is fixed to USD, so as the BTC price goes up the volume gets down.

    The trade volume is constant at around 4,500,000 USD weekly. When we were trading around 500 BTC, price was hovering around 10k. That is why.

    Remember, this is only measured by LocalBitcoin (For sure the biggest exchange here).

    I'm Venezuelan "living" here, crypto entusiast. A lot of redditors have helped me somehow! I got several moons but sadly had to cash them out.

    You can ask me anything!

    Kraken is closing my account with no reason after I asked them my sepa transfers are missing.

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 10:51 AM PST

    Kraken is closing my account with no reason after I asked them my sepa transfers are missing.

    Hello guys,

    (Ticket 3523248)

    TL:DR = Kraken is closing my account without telling me why and are sending contradictory answers to my missing sepa transfer.

    I'll explain the situation real quick :

    I, an european, did a sepa transfer in my kraken account 10 days ago.

    Not seeing anything on account, after the 5th day, I send a request to kraken support to help me.

    They don't find anything, we discuss during 5 days. They told me they are not finding anything under my name the 9th day.

    The 10th day -today- I told them I might have found the problem : I didn't put the reference in my transfer because there wasn't any location where I could put this info.

    And then, I received a complete mayhem of answers, within 2 hours :

    Emails.

    The first one tell me that my issue was sent to the Payments team for further review = they don't know yet what's going on.

    First email

    Second one, the weird one, the support tell me, out of nowhere, that my account is going to be closed and I need to take back my crypto. I don't even know why :

    2nd email

    Third email, the exact same person told me that they may have find it but the transfer is not exactly the amount I talked about -even though I said I sent a first transfer 19th november and another one 24th of November :

    Third email, 3 minutes after the 2nd one.

    What is going on ? How am I suppose to send a picture of a deposit I don't even see in my kraken account. And I already send them a picture of the deposit on my bank account.

    Can someone tell me if it has already happened to you or someone you know pls ? For what reason Kraken can close my account without my consent as I didn't do anything wrong -My account is not even big, I'm a poor student. What happened if I don't send my crypto within the 78 hours, do I loose them ?

    I even contacted the online live support, they told me they weren't "allowed to talk about it".

    It's very concerning for any Kraken user.

    Casual BTC HODL-er just had my (relatively small amount of) BTC stolen...

    Posted: 29 Nov 2020 06:59 PM PST

    So, I preface this by saying that from what I understand this is done and there is nothing I can do to rectify it.

    Years ago, someone gifted me some BTC. It was about $2 worth at the time (£1.50 or so), and I never spent it. I also did a little bit of work for BTC doing transcription or something, about £30 worth at the time. I kept it in my Blockchain Wallet online (mistake number one) and over the years I'd occasionally check in and see how it was doing. As of last week it was worth £200 or so. I never spent it and I didn't intend to, it was just nice to be part of it and have some BTC.

    Recently I was notified by Google that my passwords had been released in a 3rd party data breach.

    I spent some time fixing stuff up, but was busy with work so wasn't able to do everything.

    I finally got the chance to change everything today, and when I got to Blockchain... I realised that had been compromised.

    Whoever had access to my Google account used their access to my email to gain access to my Blockchain wallet and transfer themselves all the funds. And the date of the transaction was the day before my birthday last week. Woop-de-fucken-doo.

    I'm absolutely gutted. I didn't lose a large amount of money (comparative to some!) but it's still a shit feeling to know you've been robbed. And now I have no BTC, and I'm not exactly in a financial position at the moment to buy in.

    Sorry for the rant... I just needed to share this somewhere.

    EDIT: As far as I can remember, I did have 2FA turned on. I was notified that 2FA had been turned for my Google account, so I immediately changed that and switched passwords, but it seems like 2FA was disabled for a couple of other services I use too, (including Blockchain) which is a bit more worrying.

    The site https://lemmebit.com is doing "free Bitcoin giveaways" on Discord, and when you go to withdraw you "free BTC" they ask for a deposit of 0.03 BTC for Verification. The site claims it was created in 2013 but was created 9/11/2020, they also mention Payward (Kraken) multiple times in their FAQs page saying they are associated with them. The only news sources talking about the site were created the same date and from the same domain seller one of which is https://newspay.net . Please report this site to https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/ to prevent beginner scams. Thank You.
