/crypto/ general

Turns out my bank account had put a block on my card because Uphold and Coinbase had requested to verify my payment details, and they thought they sounded dodgy. Just had to admit I was buying cryptocurrency to a bemused Scottish lady so that (((they))) would let me spend my own money again. What happened to my fucking anonymity lads? I thought that was the point of crypto? I've never had to submit so many identity documents in my life.

what's the best place to buy bitcoin with euros? is it kraken ?

Asking again

I have coins on Coinbase which I used to gamble with before, and apparently they can close your account for that. Could they still close my account randomly? Should I move them to another wallet just to be safe?

Ok so I bought $1000 etherium today. But when I downloaded Etherium-Wallet it let me set up a sale and then nothing happened. It just says waiting for payment to go through. It's been a day now. I'm kind of worried that I got scammed out of my money. Left it running today.

Poswallet.com or Yobit

>what is stacking?
It's another word for staking. By holding your pos (proof of stake) coins in their online wallet, you generate (stake) more coins like you would with mining, only it can be done without a rig or even a personal computer.

>>2023068
Should I buy BTC, ETH, or LTC at this very moment?

>>2023653
Exodus IMO

>>2023417
Why leave them there at all if you're unsure? Just put them in a desktop wallet

>>2023500
poswallet.com
Surely you mean staked. Staked coins are the coins you've gained in the process of staking. Staking happens when your coins take part in creating a new block on the blockchain, which grants you some (tiny) coin rewards (1% of your total money per year in POSW's case I think).

I have a pending deposit on yobit.net, I just transferred 0.2 bitcoin from gdax. How long should I expect to wait until I can purchase a memecoin?

Why are we all caged up like animals in one thread when we have the whole board, sorry I'm just not falling for this one. /BIZ/ IS THE GENERAL

>>2023764
I got fed up with the board being overtaken by slow-moving threads which were 90% crypto, thought it might be nice to have some quicker-moving discussion and also contained in one thread so that /biz/ could actually talk about normie investments too.

How much do normie traders/finance people know about cryptocurrency? Is it seems like, if a bunch of NEETs can be profiting from it, so too can serious traders and I'd be very surprised if there weren't people with realtively huge amounts of money already invested who will become incredibly wealthy in the next few years. If I went down to Canary Wharf and started asking people about how much ETH or XRP they have invested, will they know what I'm on about?

>>2023068
Why are there so many different (seemingly, based on /biz/ board?) cryptos?
Doesn't the creation of another of the same principle theory, outside of bitcoin original, take the away the usable value from bitcoin, and if any other crypto can just be created, doesn't this lend itself to being like a Ponzi scheme?

Ltc is a shitcoin and will not do anything even when memewit is activated. Memewit is merely usless tinkering to improve the blocksize of BTC and doesnt have any useful benefit in ltc.

>>2026635
Not really. That will take several years. People where i work are still asking me how my "britcoins" are doing instead of "bitcoins".

It will take many layers of abstraction before normies will be able to use crypto.

And anyway i don't think the value will fall when it becomes mainstream. If everyones using crypto the value will be much much higher.

Can someone please let me know what is the best wallet? US here. Is it coinbase gemini or Kracken?

1. Don't over trade. 20 or 30 trades per month is good enough because you don't want to lose money to slippage and commissions. It is the novice traders that over trade.

2. Think above the bad traders (the masses of unskilled traders) . They try to make money, you make your move before they make a move. This is level 2 thinking. It's meta game and you better get good at it.

3. Practice risk management. You need money to be in the game, thus you should never go broke. Never spend more than 2 percent of your bankroll per trade.

4. Accumulate coins like a hooked nose merchant, and then sell when there is a rally. When the price of the coin is going side way, it's time to accumulate.

5. When people are fearful, you should be greedy. This means buying during the dip. Be sure there is sufficient trading volume in the coin. Then sell when it's high. People panic sell because they cannot control their weak penis.

6. Buy the rumor, sell the news. The lazy traders don't know about it until it hits the news, thus you got your bag of over priced coins to sell them.

7. Trading is a skill set that will make you money for life, since you can trade in any market. Thus you should always learn, trade and never give up. Piles of money, hookers and fast cars await those with the discipline and smarts to become an elite trader.

8. Never trust a fucking kike (((jew)))

Hey /biz/, first time poster here. I'm a CPA but I have no crypto experience at all.

What have you guys found useful in determining the value of cryptocurrencies at the inception of that currency? Do you have any metrics or heuristics that help determine whether it will stick around or be relegated to the trash heap of Coinye West & Doge? Or is it literally just "lmao buy this currency bro i swer 2 god is gonna moon lmao"?

* In the case of Bitcoin, I read through the technical whitepaper. I'm a programmer though, might not be so easy for others.
* Youtube explanations
* The market cap. Of course, the earlier you get in, the more profit you can potentially make, but it's hard for a shitcoin to make it into the billions as Bitcoin and Ethereum have.

>>2026780

Thanks man, helpful stuff.

Any thoughts on the adoption of public blockchains in business in the future? Do you see for example a large company hedging a transaction or entering into futures using the ETH chain?

If this seems unlikely to you, then do you think that the value of cryptos can actually hold long term? A lot of the value of them seems like speculative get-rich-quick shit.

Very interested in getting started in crypto, but have some questions.

What exchange site is best for people in US? Was looking at bittrex, I see coin base mentioned a lot though?

Can I just buy eth and use that or do I need to buy bitcoin first and convert it?

Do I need a separate wallet for every alt coin I have?

Can I sell alt coins instantaneously or is there any noticeable delay in transactions?

If I made a sizable amount of money, is there any way to cash out quickly?

Are the coins stored in the exchange site I'm using or how does that work?

I mostly have no idea how this works.

Where's the best place to start when going into crypto

hey /crypto/ what are some of the best resources to get started with trading crypto currencies? have been thinking about jumping in over the last couple of months what is your advice?

PIVX is dipping pretty hard right now. I'd be more confident in buying low if it wasn't part of an overall trend downward. Is it worth it to buy?

>>2026944
1. Make an account on Coinbase
2. Yes, you can buy/sell BTC, ETH, or LTC separately on there
3. Depends on what currencies you have
4. Yes, you can sell alt coins instantly
5. Hit the sell button, would advise to take out small amounts over time and holding long term though.
6. They can be but it's better to keep what you're willing to trade on there and the rest in a wallet if you have a significant amount

To your last point, make an account on Coinbase (or another place depending on where you live) and set up your bank account/debit card. It's going to take around a week for them to verify it anyways. You can buy instantly (you'll get locked in at the price you purchased them at) but you won't receive them until you get verified. Some anons do a wire transfer to get them instantly but I've never done that so can't speak on it.

>>2027744
What fees do Coinbase charge?

>>2026731
where's part1 and part2?

>>2027817
Depends if you use debit/credit or your bank account. Debit cards have a higher fee and max of $300 purchase but they don't need a week to get verified (iirc). The other is lower fees and a higher purchase amount. Check their website anon.

Hello /biz/,

Am an 18-year old anon interested in getting started with cryptocurrency. I've been following threads posted on here for a while, but could use some help with the following:
> what is a good trading platform/ what do you use to trade?
> what kind of information allows you to make predictions on whether or not a coin will rise/fall?
> do I need a fuckton of money to get started?

I like the rags to riches idea because university fucks me over with student loans, and am willing to work hard to get money to put into this, but I could do with some help so I can efficiently educate myself on this all.

>>2027856
1. Depends where you live. Check https://cryptowat.ch to see some options and check which ones are for your country. Just remember, you need BTC or ETH to trade with first. Trading with USD would be a nightmare and in most cases, you can't anyways. Just sign up and get your main coins first.
2. Keep up with the news and follow smarter people than you on social media. Research the currency before you buy in and make sure it's something you actually think will make money. Don't get involved with scammers and beware of the shills. You'll get better at identifying them with more experience. Start with trusted cryptos in the beginning.
3. Definitely not. Obviously, the more money you put in the more money you make, but that doesn't mean you can't make money off of a $100. It'll just be less than if you put $1000 in.

I have a basic newbie question, I have 5k to spend and want to try crypto trading.

Where do I sign up and how does it work (from Europe)?

I have no idea what does anything mean when looking on coinmarketcap graph and in general volume,..

How is market cap, circulating supply, volume connected with each other? Or in general.

Can you buy unlimited amount of any coin? Or is there a cap on 'x' price and then you have to buy 'x' amount of coins for higher price. (Example: Person 'A' sells 10 BTC for 10$, I buy them all. I still want to buy 10 BTC for 10$, but nobody is selling for that price at the moment, can I just leave the bid in? or do I rather buy 10 BTC for 11$ and watch it grow and then sell for small profit?

What about unknown coins that just get hyped and then selled, how do you spot that out? Is it even worth it? Can you buy 'x' amount of unknown coin and then sell that 'x' amount for 10% gain? What's good ROI? How do I calculate it? What apps should I use?

What made you realize in which coins to invest and sell? (Not just talking about the hyped up coins that everybody is hyping up and then go up)?

pic related.

>>2027951
What I do: Purchase on Coinbase and send some to an exchange to trade alt coins with when they arrive. If it's your first time, it's going to take some time to get verified, but it's a one time inconvenience. Be patient. You can trade with more alt coins with BTC so grab some if that's what you're really going after but don't count out ETH. You can trade that with some alt currencies, just not as many as BTC. Just remember there's a big price difference between the 2. ETH is barely getting started so that's why we're all pumped about far we'll get to the moon with it. I predict a landing desu, unless something catastrophic happens. Patience is the name of this game. Strong hands! Don't panic buy/sell.

>>2027954
It says right on their website it takes a week. If you purchased, then you've already bought them for the price you purchased them at. You just don't have them in your hands to trade yet. Thank your Jew bank for taking so long to get verified.

>tfw it's going to take days or even weeks to get my life savings out of my brokerage account and into crypto

>>2026837
>RLC for 200% ROI
I bought at the ICO, it's at a nearly 400% ROI

>>2028058
That's a good amount to start with. You can always add more later or sell if you hate it. If you want to play it really safe, stick with BTC and ETH (mostly ETH) and sit on it. During the week your Jew bank takes to verify, educate yourself about some alt coins. After the week is up decide on how you want to diversify, if that's what your intention is. There's plenty to choose from. Some are worth long term gains and some are pump and dumps. I'm not big on pump and dumps, but there's still money to made there. Some people like gambling more than I do and have bigger balls.

>>2028026
Alright, got that noted down. No panic-selling during dips, ETH is still starting up (but from what I know doing extremely well for a cryptocurrency) so there's a possibility to still ride the rocket there. BTC is best used for exchanging all kinds of alt. coins. Thanks again for these helpful tips!

By any chance, do you know any crypto's that could be interesting to research for beginners? I already noted obvious ones like ETH, LTC, XBY and BTC, but if there's any others worth taking a look at for beginners that'd be great to know.

Start with these sites:

https://m.poloniex.com/#/exchange
https://cryptowat.ch

Not every alt coin is on there (or worth a shit) but it's a decent place to start looking into your options. You can check into some of the other exchanges as well.

where 2 buy coins in Europe?

>>2028287
Kraken

>>2028275

Anyone, I got trips cmon..

So do these other coins exist for any other purpose other inflating their value to trade into Bitcoin or whatever?

Like how do you speculate and tell what is going to go up or down?

>>2027856
Why don't you grow a brain and read one of the hundreds of fucking crypto threads on /biz/ and come up with your own retarded opinion.

>>2023914
You might have better luck around old street. Lots of fintech companies there, ethereums london office was around shoreditch/oldstreet.

Also plenty of fintech guys are balls deep in bitcoin/eth and other cryptos. So yeah, lots of people in canary wharf know about eth and btc

>>2028381
It's very hard to daytrade coins, so most people just hold longterm. You read up on the coin, its inner workings, its devs, its history, its community, and then you bet on it if you believe it will become a big thing.

>>2028582
Sounds like it's not for me then. I have a history of making bad calls so I doubt I'd make any money on the market.

>>2028611
I just read a few blog posts from people who clearly know way way way more about this then me. Seems to be consensus that BTC, ETH and XRP will continue to rise, at least in the short term. I know it's risky to put your money into something you clearly don't understand, but the way I look at it is that I know it's a disruptive technology with the potential to be huge in the future, and these are the current market leaders. Stay away from the clear memecoins, buy and hold for a few years, and I'd be very surprised if you lost money.

What sort of fees did you have to pay? I've been trying for literally weeks and it's been really annoying me, but I think I've just come up with a good way of doing it - buy BTC using Bittylicious and send directly to Gatehub wallet (pretty good exchange rate and no fees for bank transfer), and then convert into XRP on Gatehub (not sure yet what the fee is for that, if any). All the other ways I found of doing it involved transferring it first from EU/USD with quite a few fees involved so I didn't want to do that, although the price has literally tripled since I first decided I wanted to buy some, so I'm a bit of a mug for not just paying the few pounds extra it would have cost. Live and learn.

>>2028732
m8 just buy from bittylicious direct to an exchange and buy xrp

When you verify with your ID on coinmama do you still need to post a selfie holding ID when you try to purchase?

>>2028508

>>2028747
Literally exactly what I did, it says that in the very post you quoted. Been asking on 4chan and Reddit (pls no bully) about the best way to buy Ripple in the UK for the last couple of weeks though and no one recommended this.

>want to buy Bitcoin
>Price keeps going up

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK BULLSHIT

Been waiting for no Tha now for price to come down. Can't believe I let you guys talk me into not buying when it was $600 or $700

At this point I'll settle for 1k is it ever going to go below 1k again?

What wallet do you guys use, preferably for multiple coins? I only really want to store BTC, LTC and ETH probably. On my computer, not on some shitty website.

>>2028774
I bought 5 dollars worth of Bitcoin when it was 600. Can't wait for BTC to hit the moon and then I can make 20 whole dollars.

What is happening in the crypto market that isn't effecting the precious metals market?

>>2028773
ah never heard of gatehub thought it was some weird middle-man wallet my bad

>>2028798
No worries

>>2028732
Just in case anyone was wondering, the fee for the exchange on Gatehub is 0.2% - so it's probably the best way of buying XRP in the UK that I've come across

Whats the best way to manage multiple wallets of different currencies? Is there a desktop wallet that can easily handle multiple crypto currencies? Is this a stupid question?

So bitcoin is still limited to like 3 transactions per second, worldwide. Is there anything in the works to improve this? If it's ever to be a serious method of payment, it should support at least 1000s of transactions per second, no?

okay motherfuckers I need to know where the fuck to buy BTC, ETH and LTC (I'm in Canada) and where to store them safely (offline wallets)
please help a nocoiner

Anyone think it's a good time to dump LTC now? Managed to double my money in a week so I'm pretty satisfied but don't wanna be greedy.

Coinbase is retarded and slow in my experience, I used Kraken but it takes a little while for them to verify identity and they dont have debit card options like coinbase.

>>2028934

>>2029203
It doesn't always use that particular method, but ID checks seem to be pretty stringent on most exchanges. I've uploaded selfies holding ID cards, as well as the scan of front and back of ID cards, on some of them.

>>2029225

I bought at 100 ETH at $16 and waiting for it to hit parity with Bitcoin, i.e. $1000.

That'll be 2 or 3 years give or take. The Lambo can wait.

Poloniex has the most users, bittrex has the most coins/wallets. I use both, mainly poloniex and bittrex for what poloniex doesnt offer

regret buying 1.5 ltc a bit ago near the high.
It's not much, but I am down 18$ atm, will it rise?

I own a small amount of BTC. I'm ready to dump serious funds into BTC or ETH...

Do you guys think ETH is going to drop next week due to the meteoric rise? Should I wait for a dip (like a normal, intelligent trader?)

>>2029601
>>2029601

Sure it will. The future is crypto. If not in 2 years, perhaps in 5 years.

Nonetheless Ive diversified into other coins, golem , RLC and wings.

Oh ye and Steem, I think it'll replace le reddit which is fucked up at the mo from shilling and political forces

>>2029553
I'm not asking about whether it will go up or down, but if you have actually been able to convert into fiat. At the moment it's just numbers on a screen. Do you have money in your bank account from it?

On Blockfolio if I am using some of my BTC to buy another coin how do I input that? I know how to add the other coin but what do I do for my BTC? Input it like I 'sold' it for USD?

Does anybody here think ripple is going to be a long term worthwhile investment?

Follow the youtube series for /biz/ on youtube. Follow here and watch which coins have promise.
A LOT OF SHILLS though, so dont just assume everything is golden when the first 10 posts are all positive.

A lot of these will take a couple of years to pan out, and some will fail entirely. best advice is to spread your investments 20% each into 3 big coins and then 10% each into 4 smaller promising coins.

There needs to be a definitive crypto into guide stickied to stop the same questions being asked every thread with no answers

I cant sell on coinbase because in canadian. Is there any good alternatives i could use?

What I don't understand are the wallets. So you buy BTC/ETH on an exchange say Bittrex or Coinbase then you transfer them to a wallet because it's more secure and exchanges could be hacked, but there are so many goddamn wallets and then some don't hold all the coins so you need multiple wallets.

So how do you know which ones are safe and not just throwing your coins into someone else's pocket? I got a few coins off of Coinbase but I want to make sure they are extra secure, any recommendations?

Thank you in advance.

>>2029731
Ive been seeing a lot of talj about Golem but havent read much about them. Does it bring anything to the table new? Something concrete? Most coins are forks that will be stamped out by bitcoin sooner or later.

>>2029541
>waiting for it to hit parity with Bitcoin, i.e. $1000.
it reaches parity with bitcoin below $300

I'm bullish on ETH, but the moon mission already lunched

so I just bought some bitcoin on coinbase via my bank account. do I seriously have to wait 6 days for the coins to transfer into my wallet? will they apreciate/depreciate in that time or is it like I did an instant transfer 6 days from now?

>>2030557
I dunno man. I just tried to transfer 100usd into Gdax, and it takes 4 fucking days. Like what the fuck is this company doing.

IM MISSING OUT ON GAINZ

>>2030557
I went on /biz/ for the first time ever today and have zero experience with bitcoin except for what I've read in this thread, and having done so, I know the answer to your question. Because it's been answered at least twice in this very thread.

I really need to start trading this stuff if there are idiots like you ready to dump your money in it without doing any research.

>>2030518
Coinbase is a wallet. If you have a significant amount that you plan to hold, transfer it to cold storage/paper wallet in case of hacking (that goes for any coin). Then transfer what you're willing to trade into an exchange to trade your BTC/ETH for other cryptos. To your second paragraph, there really isn't any 100% guarantee that it will be secure, just like anything else online. That's why we try to minimize the risk as much as possible. Just like IRL, don't throw all of your eggs in one basket.

CASHED OUT BTC A BIT AGO AFTER 10%~ PROFIT AFTER COINBASED WENT DOWN AND PRICE DIPPED

>but now it's stable

wait for dip or buy back in and see where we go?

Please help.

I have sent my ETH off an exchange to my supposed ethereum wallet address in mist.

I can see the transaction on etherscan.

Mist tells me that to make a contract I need 0.06 eth, which I don't have because it's fucking floating in the interweb somewhere or what the fuck. Is this the contract to receive my eth?

What am I doing wrong here? How do I get eth in my wallet if I'm trying to receive my eth?

What is the most secure and legitimate way to cash out crypto and pay the proper taxes? Are there any good guides for this?

>>2031146

Forgot to mention I am in US.

>>2031150
i paid taxes on my bitcoin gains from last year. i think i used https://cointracking.info/ and then on my taxes i filed it off as hobby income

>>2031121
is the wallet finished downloading the blockchain?if not, then just wait you dummy.

if the address was correct then it'll show up once its updated.

>>2031197
Maybe it didn't sync correctly, it was down to <100 blocks remaining and is now back up to 3.5 million.

This PC is a piece of shit and takes forever. I just bought a new PC but when I open up mist on it it has a different address, I'm guessing I have to wait for this to sync before I can backup this account and put it on the new one?

No way, post a screencap

Why dont we organize a massive pump and dump of ETH?
We should make an infographic for normies explaining how to open a wallet, send money to an exchange, and buy ETH. Post it all over Memebook, let the normies buy and drive the price higher, then we can all dump for hekktik gains. Then the normies will panic sell because they dont believe in this cryptocurrency bullcrap and we can rebuy the bounce.

Can someone help me with the verification process on coinbase. I tried to do the charge verification, and I entered the quantities as they appeared on my charges ($1.58 would be 58).

I also got charged three times instead of two, and one of the amounts is $1.01 whilst the others are higher than that but lower than $1.99.

I tried contacting support, and just got a bot to answer a day later. Since I'm supposed to input the 2 latest quantities, should I do $1.01 and the one before it?

Example:
Pending $1.01 --latest
Pending $1.58
Pending $1.29 -oldest

I read that if a third transaction occurs, the one with $1.00 should be disregarded.

re read the steps. i think the 2 transactions you put in should be around the same value.
i'm thinking 29 and 58?

Those were the two values I put, and it said it was wrong so I tried them the other way around. After the third try, it told me to wait 24 hours.

I don't want to re-charge my card, simply because I read other similar threads of people retrying with the correct amounts, and it being read as wrong. I'll try the 1.01 and the previous one, hopefully it works. I'm just doing it once though.

is the order you enter it. old first, new 2nd should have worked :{ if it's locked you out. the 2 floating "pending" transactions in the account will stay there for a while. so you can be sure it's the correct 2. not sure what else to say, havent had this problem before

When /biz/ posts about "BUY THE DIP" etc.

are they genuinely trying to help us no coiners out?

or are they trying to off load their shit unto us ( effectively us giving them money ) ?

kinda curious because I've spent a long time on 4chan and a lot of boards help each other out but the biz world is doggy dog.

>>2031492
probs half and half desu, people post that when they're holding because they want the price to stay up but also if they're wanting to sell

>>2031492
For coins like eth / GNT / LTC, yes you should buy at dips

For shitcoins like BitBean and lepen, no

>>2030915
Yeah I know Coinbase has a wallet but I'd like to move my coins to an exchange to take advantage of other coins and maybe lower my risk a little since centralizing it could be make it a prime target for attack. Eventualy I'd like to move it to cold storage, I'm thinking about getting a Trezor next paycheck.

Right now this is all really new to me, I've bought coins but I haven't moved them yet, and I don't want to fuck up putting in the wrong address

>>2031342
Why imagine when I'm typing a reply to it right now?

nocoins here

I presumably need to download the blockchain for BTC if I want to withdraw BTC from an exchange, but do I need the blockchains of every currency I buy? Can't I just convert everything into BTC and send it to my wallet when I want to cash out.

What's the transfer speed for buying and selling altcoins? Is there a chart comparison of various services or a general rule?
