Wow, hope you guys saw the Bill Miller's bitcoin segment on the CNBC closing bell. Incredibly insightful and articulate on the crypto subject and market conditions. Kicker: he's not selling and recommending to his partners not to sell. His cost basis was around $350-$400 each (?).
Why would he recommend selling if he owns it....nearly 99.9% of the talking heads on cnbc who own funds related to bitcoin of course aren't going to say sell or tell you it's going to drop or collapse or that it's in a bubble...why would they...they are hyping it up just as much as the next fool on cnbc.....
He was asked if he had sold any and he said no. Bill Miller is a value investor so he clearly thought bitcoin was undervalued at $400, and what does it tell you when he's not selling at the current price at over 3000% profits?
That when bitcoin collapses 95% he will still be up 100% !!!!!!
Hahahhahahahahahaha
I suggest you see a psychologist before it's too late!8 % vig is a little steep.I'm the wrong guy to defend the daily transaction idea for bitcoin as I'm on the digital gold/store of value investment asset camp.
Bitcoin wallet is akin to running a bank, as such, it has to be very secure. Security and convenience are opposite of each other. The easiest way to use bitcoin is by using light wallets such as an android or ios app. I used to have 2-3 btc's on my android wallet back when the price was low just in case I walk into a place where they accept bitcoin as payment. It was a novelty item, an experiment. Nowadays, I would not trust an android wallet with that much btc's and usually have between .2btc to .5btc.
Still, it doesn't make sense to spend $4 for coffee and pay $11 in transaction fees. Bitcoin's success (as measured in the $ price) is a curse if used for small transactions. Personally, I only use bitcoin as payment if the amount is over $100 and I lower the fees to about $8. I used to be a bitcoin miner and the miners have a role in the bitcoin network by securing it and I don't mind paying transaction fees for their service.
8 % vig is a little steep.
Just a FYI...Bill Miller will ride a failed trend all the way into, and below the ground. That is just his style.It is.
$100 is the minimum amount I would consider for a bitcoin transaction. That's not the norm as it's usually $500 or higher (for me). I would prefer to use another coin for small transactions (i.e. Litecoin) but bitcoin is the one that is widely accepted.
