you too.This is why I struggle to see how it can ever become a "commonly used" currency. That and the fucking volatility in that my 2$ soda will have cost me 500$ if I waited a week
BUT, as a way to make money simply by buying and selling, crypto is fucking awesome. Honestly you could have picked almost any coin this last month, they are almost all up over 50%. BTC will be(stay?) god with ETH/MKR close behind, but plenty of others are making plenty of people rich.

I think the up and downs is ppl selling a section of their BTC to protect from bubble popping. I did the same thing and sold one in case it pops and will be able to buy back in later, but if I'm wrong and it keeps going up, not a problem as I can sell my next BTC at the next level and so on. Just safer than betting all in it goes up only to watch BTC go down to sub 20K and stay there for a year or two.

Yeah, Etherium cannot be everyday currency the way it is going. Need fast and cheap. That is why I hold DGB
DGB is designed to be used for daily payments as qouted below.
"Much faster.
DigiByte transactions are confirmed in approx. 15 seconds, which is 40 times faster than Bitcoin and 10 times faster than Litecoin. SegWit enables up to 1066 on-chain transactions per second and negligible fees make DigiByte the ideal currency for daily payments."

man, reading this.. all I could think was, we need to demand every EA game, kickstarter game, etc needs to write up a white paper like this to establish the design goals, purpose of the game, the history of design elements its based on.
$49k this morning... getting closer!I feel BTC is gonna break 50k this weekend
Sorry if it's been covered elsewhere, what do (US-based) people here use to actively trade? Binance, Bitfinex, Kraken? My previous coin YOLOs have just been in Coinbase. Since I'm FINRA-licensed/work at a bank, pretty much the only thing I can actively trade w/o a 30-day hold is crypto.

I don't do active trading.
But my experiences so far: most action was with Coinbase.
I hear coinbase pro is cheaper for active trading. But have not used it to compare.
I initially created a robinhood account. but never actually used it, as it used the same bank account service as Coinbase, which kept getting errors in connecting to my bank. While coinbase let me just manually enter my acct # to verify and transfer money.
I created a Kraken account to deal in coins Coinbase does not offer. It wants Wire transfers to buy coins with fiat... to hell with that shit... However, you CAN transfer cryto to buy crytpo on kraken to avoid dealing with that... so I literally transferred btc to kraken, to buy nano.. obvs has its own bullshit fees to do it this way.
kraken is based on san fran iirc.
haven't tried binance or gemini yet. I'm not sure whats up with binance and new york, and that deal.

Bitcoin by the beach: Miami eyes paying workers and collecting taxes in cryptocurrency
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez praised the city's governing commission for passing a resolution Thursday that will study the feasibility of paying employees in bitcoin, as well as allowing residents to pay fees and taxes in bitcoin.
I think they want to give them the option to having part of their pay in bitcoin not the whole thing.

15 seconds at retail is eternity. When chips got added to cards and it added a second or two to the transaction time, people lost their shit.

After my 3 minute Coinbase fiasco I opted to try Gemini. Any idea how long it takes to get verified?
