Hell, my open longs in equity futures was +$2K on Monday. I decided to hold and they were down to -$6,600 at some point yesterday morning, now back up to about $-1K. Same kind of swings, just over a couple of days, not couple of minutes. I might have enough gumption to buy one of these stupid BTC futures in a week and a half... NAH! Screw that!
Fast market situation. It's back to $16K now... I have nothing on exchanges, all local wallets, but watching the action and having fun. I have no plans to sell.
Typical on the downside when everyone is looking to sell....that's just the beginning, wait till it really collapses and everyone wants out.....why be the fool who waits for it to drop to finally sell when you can sell when everyone is buying and everything is calm.
A news said that $70 million worth of bitcoin were stolen this morning. The company was denied the news but it’s closed for 24h. http://www.gorket.com/2017/12/07/70m-bitcoin-stolen/
That's been in the news the last few days ...I have no idea what it's about but that news is unfolding... supposingly they have $814,000,000....are people calling this a conspiracy....
Eh, it was having issues on the way up too, just really slow to load. It's money I can afford to lose, so not the end of the world. I was just going to sell some for a vegas trip this weekend lol
Really? Bitstamp and Bitfinex never crossed 16K... That is almost 20% difference between exchanges. Coindesk's high was 16585.
16260 on coinbase now....I'm not going by the prices any longer on their site since they are simply creating a premium due to demand......
