Lol. Just had a look and noticed it's up about 25% in the last week.

Anybody buy at the $12k to $14k region thinking they'd bottomed out? Anybody panic and get out? Anybody buying and selling regularly and making or losing lot's of little bits as the wave continues up and down?

I'm just asking as a fascinated observer, I can honestly say I'll never buy bitcoin unless at some point it become necessary in order to be able to buy something.

Think the Typhoon is trading, and by the sound of it, about as regularly as one can. Perfect medium for skilled traders I'd say

Yeah I am on this continuously 24/7

Not had a nights sleep for 8 weeks, got myself trained to wake up every 15-30 minutes and when I need longer rest the wife takes over

Got some strange looks on xmas day sat on my sun lounger in Lanzarote with 3 screens going but thats the nature of the beast

You can't trust it (except at present its guaranteed to bounce back)

It needs constant 24 hour monitoring if your trading with such wide range volatile movements

Money to be made going up and money to be made coming down

I don't trust it, sure we are probs in a massive bubble who knows, nobody at this moment in time

Strategy at moment let the trend be your friend, cash big profits, buy the dips, get ready to go short at any sign of correction, and most importantly if it goes totally tits up get stuck into the gold market as fast as you can because the money will pile out of here into the gold safe haven

I'm reluctant to shill specific coins on here. BUT -  I'm going big on Icon (ICX) - I think it has really strong potential when things start progressing from 24 January and when it gets listed on Korean exchanges. A few people who are smart in crypto seem to be very bullish on it. It is very early in the project, so it is a bit of a punt, but ICX is a decent part of my portfolio now.

Haha, that's a helluvan effort - pretty rare times I guess so if this is your stock in trade - mad not to for as long as you can.

Yes Glen I will stick around whilst the volatility lasts


Ether up 27% over the weekend...crazy times

Jobs easy when your sat the right side of the fence, not so easy when your scrambling around the other side

CoinMarketCap: This morning we excluded some Korean exchanges in price calculations due to the extreme divergence in prices from the rest of the world and limited arbitrage opportunity.  We are working on better tools to provide users with the averages that are most relevant to them.

Nice of them to not tell the market beforehand likely causing some of today's crash! Market manipulation?!

It was certainly a fun afternoon!

Barmy afternoon

Must say Bergeroo I like the looks of ICX

[bergeroo]

Raiblocks listing on Binance soon could be a big deal? Was announced 10 minutes ago. XRB is a very interesting project and Binance is either the number one exchange or firmly on the way. If you were waiting for a time to get into it, the next hour or two is the time imo. For those who are interested in the tech, Raiblocks uses the Block Lattice - sounds tasty! I'm not an expert on the tech side but the fact that Raiblocks can be capable of processing an unlimited number of transactions per second is the key point of it. It has been hyped a lot and grown a lot but not on several main exchanges. It joined Kucoin last week and now Binance.

As for ICX - I don't really mind about short term gains. Throw a dart and you can find a coin to go up 27% in a few days at the moment. I'll be holding this one for the medium/long term, it seems about as solid as you can get in the crypto sphere (which is of course still very risky) and let's see what happens!

There seems to be a bunch of gambling coins popping up. I don't see how blockchain technology can help a gambling product or make it better so I've kept my powder dry. Anyone in any of them or have an opinion? Oh and I can't remember if I mentioned CoinPoker already but it seems like a giant scam. Stay away IMO.

[bergeroo]

Anyone use Huobi, Gate.io or Okex exchanges? There is a coin I want but it is only on those and I have trust issues.
