I went in ultra cheap just to see how it all works. I have no illusions of grandeur but the rollercoaster feels more fun when you're on it
Trader buzz is that deep pockets are accumulating for the mother of all shorts when futures launch.
Even if that's true, shorts can fail, and I expect Bitcoin to recover long-term regardless, but I wouldn't bet the farm right now. Hold some dry powder and pay close attention for a sharp drop; bottoms are very short-lived.

Ooops, via phone and actually had some dumb assholes asking me questions. Apparently not a good combo.

I got a frantic call from an old coworker asking about coinbase's outage(?) and how to sell during lunch.
Dude was listening to my BS at work 1 1/2 year ago and decided to throw down 5k apparently on a handful of coins.
Rustled. Good for him though.

Probably people buying up LTC to transfer funds between exchanges is my guess. BTC and ETH are congested as shit.
Re mining. It's still profitable at reasonable electricity rates but it's much lower risk and reward compared to just buying crypto right now. It's very hard to lose money with reselling parts but your gains are relatively bounded.
I mine in my 1080ti when im asleep or in the office and get around $5 per day right now.
Charlie was on Glenn Beck last night, telling everybody that Litecoin was superior to Bitcoin, so that might have something to do with it.

So did some testing with Cryptokats. Nutshell as I see it. Ripoff/Scam.
Bitcoin info. Lightning network overlay, why it could be increasing more soon.
Stumped by Bitcoin price rise? Here’s why it is skyrocketing
What is the Bitcoin "Lightning Network?"
Hear a rumor (semi cred) that the reason coinbase/gdax jumps in price for the market is they ran out of coin to offer to clients. Unknown if this was a reason they "had server issues" as in it was real or they were trying hard to cover their ass. (cred) person brought to my attention this lightning network thing.
My understanding this will allow ppl that make purchases to make claims they didnt get their product and can get a return of funds which cant be done or done easily now.
Need Eth, can buy from them thru site links via coinbase.
-Used CC for $50 eth, this resulted in international +$fee. I have used credit union in past with no int$ fee. Co-worker uses bank and gets int$. Looks like bank and CC is xtr$
Buy a kat, bid$ + gasFee$
-kat unavailable
-kat unavailable
-kat unavailable
-failed = gasFee$ (poof)
-failed = gasFee$ (poof)
-kat unavailable
-google WTH is going on and found what the gas thing was all about and here's the rate for that.(ETH Gas Station)
-failed = gasFee$ (poof)
-failed = gasFee$ (poof)
-Won = bid$ + gasFee$ (poof) got kat HOURs later.
Repeat for another kat....gasFee$ (poof)(s)
Family used all their eth, transfer from my metamask wallet to their metamask wallet wants gasFee$ (Fuck that) transferred thru Gdax (free, at least I didnt see any fee on wallet transfer)
Breed kats = gasFee$ (poof), guessing this could fail also but got lucky if fails gasFee$(poof)
Sire kat = gasFee$ for X time available (poof)
waiting now, got kat with bun in oven still from this morning showing 11hr. Family says tahts not realtime from what they have see so far.
Beware from my understanding that if you dont do the gas thing right it fails or you can oops and overpay. Either way $(poofs), you can chew up eth fast just trying to do ANYTHING.
Shocked they dont make you do gasFee$ to view the marketplace or view Sire listing or wipe your ass, etc.
These fuckers have got to be making more on these gasFee$ than Quibids as scams go.
Avg gasFee$ seems to be about $2usd.
