Update: I moved my bitcoin into GDAX. GDAX is an trading exchange owned by Coinbase. Much lower fees then Coinbase, but it is a more complicated trading platform. I tried a few stop/limit trades to get my feet wet.

12/1/2017 Trade 02: Multiple Sells : BTC price = around $10,450/BTC + $27 fee = $10,560

I am now all in cash, but I have made $560 profit in one day! Sitting back to take a break before I jump back in. Seriously, I feel like I am at the casino or watching a sporting event that I wagered on.

Yep, I'm heading down to the beach for the weekend.

The poor old place will be protected by nothing more than a bugular* alarm.

Oh yes, nearly forgot, and a couple of other little devices I learned about in my time as a bomb disposal tech/booby trap negator/IED Tech/EOD tech while in the military.

Care to step inside?

PS: *burgular is a perfectly Aussie word.
LOL... Nuff said.

Still cant belive how fast BTC and ETH are rising! I should have kept hold of my ETH rather then trying new altcoins. Grrrr

Although I see the potential benefits of applying a true “invisible hand” with an unregulated cryptocurrency, it’s still lacking enough stability, security, and acceptance to make it worthwhile for me to consider investing in it. Thanks for the laugh @Archer

I tried to buy bitcoins yesterday day when BTC price = $10,505/BTC. Coinbase was shut down for and hour and I could not. The price went up to $10,900/BTC before I could buy. I purchased $5500 before I went out last night and sold today @11,736/BTC.

12/3/2017 Sitting on $848 profit.

I would recommend reading Dimitri Orlov's recent take:

https://cluborlov.blogspot.pt/2017/12/cryptomania.html

I would in turn recommend reading Tony’s other posts as related to the economy and fiat currency generally.

As he can tell you, he has a particular perspective which shines through pretty clearly here as well. Personally not my cup of tea, but some may find it enlightening.

KippyK watch challenge update....

Well, I decided to "day-trade" my bitcoin investment and buy the dips and sell the tips. I did not want to lose my gains. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a poor decision. All I did was miss out on gains as the market kept going up. This was definitely a learning experience in investing. Buy and hold in this environment. The good news is I am now sitting on a profit of $3500.

Bitcoin futures start this Sunday on the CBOE:

The greedy "old money" geezers start throwing the real money at Bitcoin this Sunday.

I bought some shares in accompany called BTL group. BTTLF Pure speculation. They have software products that develop blockchain technology which makes bitcoin transactions much easier than the present. Paper wealth only, but up almost 100% over the last couple weeks. different way to play the Bitcoin frenzy. Should take some profits, but will just let it ride, might go to zero who knows.

Only worth what someone will pay you for it.

No different than a watch, or any other collectible item.

Coinbase is going bonkers! It keeps shutting down! Did Bitcoin spike to 19.5k and then plummet to 16.5k? People have come to play today.

Coinbase down for 30 minutes and no trades at all. They are busy getting it back up and running.
