We'll see. If it dives down there, I'll buy more.

Crypto is not to buy. It is to live on.

I just lost $10,000 worth of BTC because the wallet must have given me a false receiving address. I don't use wallets outside of Trezor, Nano Ledger etc very often except for small amounts for spending money but I've used this one in the past on a different device and never had an issue.

I provided the receiving address to the sender. They said they sent. Nothing shows in my wallet or transactions. I looked up the receiving address in a blockchain explorer and it shows it was indeed sent. I'm puzzled. I didn't take a screenshot of the app showing me the bitcoin receiving address but I logged it in two different notes.

I thought maybe the wallet was messed up so I used a different wallet to restore my seed but still shows nothing.

So sad. I don't really know what to do or anything I can do. It was a wallet that gives receiving addresses that start with "bc" and spits you out a brand new one everytime. I don't even know how to see the prior receiving addresses the wallet gave me.

Probably sent with low fee, large transaction backlog lately leading to slow confirmation times. Give it a while. As long as you can see the transaction ID and the "To" "From" addresses are solid then you're good.

Luckily got this figured out. I'm not tech saavy enough to understand but they said they had to resync my wallet with their nodes. Sure enough restarted it and funds then showed up. Really quick support though.

I almost cashed out some ACR last night but decided against it because i was drunk and couldn't remember the steps.

Losing some btc into the abyss is a big fear of mine.

If you are playing cash games on ACR you are just wasting your time. The tourneys also aren't very good, just big first place prizes. But at least they have crypto deposits and withdrawals and Global doesn't.

I havent played on global since covid. I mainly play Omaha cash or some of their tournaments. I've been reading that ACR has the toughest games for USA players.

Bitcoin drops to $25k today? What's going on?

I'm not sure, wish my Shibu Inu coin would take off tho.....

I wonder if Crypto could be used a leading indicator to certain stocks

https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/COIN

you think it has to do with shrinking liquidity in the market?

i mean, i have been wrong before on this type of stuff but I always thought one of the reasons BTC was so high in the 1st place was excess liquidity, and free money (near zero rates).


These things lead to rampant speculation, and thats all that BTC is is speculatory.



So if you remove liquidity and raise interest rates, I think it is natural that speculatory things like tech companies that make no money, houses that cost more than they should, and digital coins that have no real value other than speculation are going to come back down in price.


We are entering a period of more normal interest rates and normal liquidity.. so i think prices should normalize. Many people mistakenly think this is "high interest rates" or that we are in a very restrictive liquidity situation right now. Its not. We aren't. These rates are normal and there are still YEARS worth of excess liquidity in the market that need to be removed through QT.


Full disclosure: I am not a huge believer in bitcoin so take all this for what its worth, but I wouldn't be surprised if BTC goes very low if the normal rates and liquidity persist...

The problem with rates being back to "normal" is housing costs are way out of whack with these "normal" rates. And people waiting for housing prices to drop don't seem to understand that its simple economics. Supple vs demand. We are over 11 million SFH short.

Supple breasts will always win IMO

well youre not talking costs, youre talking PAYMENTS.


theres 2 ways to look at it. I think youre looking at it wrong, and in a temporary slice of time (right now) versus the intended and needed direction it is going.


Lets look back to a year ago, before the rate hikes:


youve got 2% interest rates and no one caring about how much a house "costs" because they can afford the payments. But IMHO you and everyone else looking at it like this were/are wrong.


We arent finished raising rates yet. It is correct that no one can afford the PAYMENTS when the rate is normal (7%). But just take a staep and ask yourself why. Its because the COSTS are too high. Houses shouldn't be this high, and thus the cost will go down. The only reason they ever got that high in the 1st place is because of 2%-3% mortgages and a ton of excess liquidity.


I would much rather buy a house at a good cost with a higher interest than WAY too high of a price but you get suckered in with a low payment.


Prices will go down, it might take 4-5 years for this to happen, but it will. Or they wont rise as fast. But we cant have everything inflating at a crazy speed...so we need to normalize rates.

40k BTC
2.2k ETH

Been loading LTCN and MARA for the Bull run! :thumb:

I'm sure hearing a lot about XRP as a good investment. I guess banks will be using it for transactions in the next year. Rumors of $1000 to $10,000 once it gets locked up.

I've been buying $100 every week for the last several months. It's at around .65 right now.

How are you supposed to launder money if its tied to banks?

Thats 50% of why people like crypto. Don't let anyone fool you. They are just too scared to say it.

Btc = safer cash that appreciates in value

It's shitcoin season baby!

Ill be hedging some of my bets by converting a small amount of BTC into BSV. Bitcoin Satoshi Vision. There is some worry that longterm bitcoin will not have enough incentive to transact to realize its value. It will become to costly to send and any transactions may cease to exist. Just a theory Ive heard thrown around by some smart people but there should be ways to combat that by future forks/lightning network, I hope.

Wild hopium and rumors are two different things.

Ayyy whats up

Btc is 52k

Bwillie is always wrong

I am lucky. I bought it @$100 and have not needed it. Missed out on the $80,000 but saving for when I need it, I hope never. Actually considering cashing it in do to a house I like on the lake. Just hard to justify the house since no one else lives with me but college town and I could rent rooms out I guess. The older I get the more I do not like people tho.

good time to sell a little?



take a short or hedge position?


what say you , geniouses????


(shorting COIN or MSTR suicidal or big brain?)

Looks like they ****ed the moon today:

Yeah, I shit myself a little bit when my Coinbase assets showed $0. On mobile first, then desktop... $0. I must have been one of the first ones to see the glitch, because it wasn't even showing up on Twitter yet.

I had a chance to buy 10,000 bitcoin for $100 and I passed thinking it was a scam and a comic book type currency.

How ****ing stupid and wrong was I ?

That’s a lot of OG lunches bro.

Yea, I owned 394 Bitcoins in 2014-15 when I was in a mining operation with my uncle... I then sold them for $500, can't remember the exact amount, and thought that was sweet...

I think you were more stupid to post on CP about your lunches than to turn down this opportunity.

XRP.. you guys now have around 45-60 days to get in on the cheap

Solana and avax for alts

That's what you think.

I got a hell of a lot of return and value from that lunch post escapade. ROFL

I blew the place up, got the haters to come out in full, half the board got involved and even had someone change their username.

Pretty effective investment for my time.

Bitcoin coming for Silver next.

I got added to a scam whatsapp chat group that is supposedly a "Dan Morehead Practical Training Camp" on trading bitcoin. I haven't deleted it yet as it's fun to see exactly what the scam is.

However, so far it seems pretty non-scammy. It's offering legit educational advice (though likely similar to what Chat-GPT would product), has not be been trying to get personal information, or get you to click on any spy/malware type links.

So, I wait patiently to see where this scam goes. There's 50 in this chat group. I assume 49 of them are bots of some sort.

How many you in for?

BTC $67,500
ETH $3,900

Right now I have 3935 I'm just buying a little every Friday . I want at least 5000.

I think it makes it's first move in April. Anything under $1 is a gift from God .

Predictions are that in 12 months it could be well North of $1000

The Bull run will carry this somewhat but the real value is when all the banks are utilizing it. Many already are. When it blows , it will blow overnight.

:old:

People don't like crypto because banks use it. It's quite the opposite. I am absolutely totally out on XRP.

It's up like 300% or more since this post, correct?

The Grayscale trusts are crushing it and they're just getting started

If prices hit the forecasted projections I could be up close to 1Million in profit by 2025

These should have been bought in the bear market around March 1 2023 to maximize profit. Now I see how the 4 year cycle runs. Bitcoin halving is 3 weeks away. Bitcoin Cash halving is somewhere around 4/6 I think.

Notably LTCN and BCHG . Actually BCHG is up over 4000% since 3/1/23 sitting at $16 and has a PT of $100 plus



ZCASH hasn't blasted off yet. ZCASH ranks #14 on the list of 15 trusts and is up 377% since 3/1/23. That's right , 13 funds are ahead of that pace.

This is where the moneys at

So if I had just invested $10K when this thread started it would be worth $175,000,000.

IT IS interesting revisiting the first few pages of this thread

This is sad for me to read. I could really use $175,000,000 right now.

If it makes you feel better, there’s an almost 0% chance you would have held for the last 11 years.

Diamond hands

It doesn’t but you are right and I know that deep down. Especially me. I’m such a safe little bitch. I would have sold the instant my investment tripled and been kicking myself even worse than I am now.

:drool:

This is a good point, but I think I’d feel even worse if I had bought in and bailed out.

I don’t get Bitcoin at all but it makes me very happy knowing there are people who had the foresight to buy in early.

This guy right here built a successful business and became a millionaire, then he got into Crypto and the Grayscale trusts. He expects to be worth over 1 Billion a the end of the current bull run. The mansion you see in the background was bought solely from profits from LTCN during the last bull run.

Here he gives some good advice about handling bank accounts and your big money.

Careful with Grayscale. They are colluding with Blackrock to dump all their Bitcoin so Blackrock can buy them. You need to have real Bitcoin and not these paper Bitcoins.

Only 900 Bitcoin are produced daily (450 after the halving). Blackrock and the other ETFs are buying 12K per day. There simply isn't enough supply. Thus the parabolic price increase.

I don't own any GBTC, that's the only one it may affect, correct ?

While this has been known, it looks like GBTC has still been going up.

IBIT is the fastest growing ETF in history.
-- Larry Fink

They started a Gold ETF years ago. It took 15 years to reach what the Bitcoin ETFs did in a month.

These ETFs are game changers because people that know nothing can buy the ETFs. IBIT and Vanguard are buying $1B PER DAY.

That said, get the real stuff instead of the ETF.

My 2 cents.

Vanguard has refused to do a Bitcoin ETF.

This guy knows.
