    "Satoshi" at court

    Don't worry about the cryptos investors. You have to think about yourself. I recommend for you to buy as much gold as you can and sleep well at night as you have the best store of value for thousands of years. You will be rewarded handsomely...

    Majority of bitcoin trading is a hoax, new study finds

    Not sure about the process in the UK, but I always thought it was easier outside of the US (no big brother that requires all kinds of kyc/aml paperwork for big transactions). I think Coinbase has a UK presence, Bitwala may be an option and possibly physical ATM's but pretty sure he's got more...

    E*Trade Is Close to Launching Cryptocurrency Trading

    From my understanding (some stuff I read here and there, but nothing definitive), these exchanges will sell the actual assets (i.e. bitcoin, ethereum or litecoin) but they will hold them for the customers and not allow withdrawals. Since they are licensed and regulated, there's not much concern...

    Bitcoin scores a ‘golden cross’ — and now everyone is bullish

    Altcoins are calculated on bitcoin conversion rate as they cannot be spent or cashed out anywhere except by exchanging for bitcoin. I have very little bitcoin means exactly that, less than 1 percent of bitcoin. if I own .0099 btc, that means the rest of the portfolio is worth more than 1 btc...

    Things may get interesting at TDAmeritrade...

    lol, it's all good, I meant your inquiry. Crypto portfolio? Not so well :D But, it's not all bad... I'm in a lucky position because I have a job (very good, in my opinion), but there are some out there who invested in cryptos and quit their jobs and had to go back to a job or are looking to...

    Bitcoin scores a ‘golden cross’ — and now everyone is bullish

    When a coin is just launched, the difficulty is very low (no miners), but they are also worthless ($0) as there's no exchange to trade them on. No GPU miner software, too, so all CPU mining only. My concern with RVN was how the price was pumped (a year ago), I looked at the news and Overstock...

    Bitcoin scores a ‘golden cross’ — and now everyone is bullish

    Just a disclaimer, I don't read or follow up on RVN much. I solo-mined 700,000+ of it within a few days of launch, as I was lucky to have seen a twitter announcement from Bruce Fenton and it was only linux cli wallet available, so I fired up 6 AWS spot-request instances (64-core) which are 80%...

    Bitcoin scores a ‘golden cross’ — and now everyone is bullish

    I've always mentioned that I'm usually holding less than 10 percent of my portfolio in bitcoin and recently have cut it down to less than 1 percent :D I love bitcoin but my bags are filled with RVN and XTZ (Liquid Proof of Stake - no energy concerns :D:D )

    Bitcoin Is The New Gold

    I didn't miss your spelling of bitcoin is missing an I. It's been the way you spell it for a long time now. I guess you can say I misunderstood your meaning when you said "you've changed your mind as IBKR founder enlightened you that bitcoin has value for shorts", if it has value for shorts as...

    Bitcoin Is The New Gold

    Murray, my experiences investing in bitcoin (cryptos) is on the extreme contradiction of what you've stated. I've reaped vast returns on my investments and have spent tens of thousands of $ using bitcoin in hundreds of transactions. Obviously, I''m 100% long position currently, so wanted to...
