OSTK was mentioned in that article a few posts back, boy are they taking a drubbing today.

Heard on the Radio today that one of the Exchanges (Chicago??) is going to be trading Bitcoin Futures...

**Whiteroom_Guardian** · 12-02-2017, 10:53 PM

Yeah, CME will start futures trading on the 18th. Volatility will probably be even wilder than it has been already.

Does anyone here store their bitcoins on a Nano S?

As BTC touches 11600.

Yes, I store my BTC/ETH/LTC on a Nano S. Great device. If you are setting one up for the first time it's probably wise to transfer .0001 of something to the nano, intentionally lock yourself out or reset the device and then use your seed to make sure you can recreate the wallet.

I did a major bonehead move at the beginning of the summer. I hadn't used my nano is several months and went to unlock it and somehow put in the wrong pin 3 times. Still don't know how I did that. I don't have alot of pins and know which pin I used, but I must have somehow fat fingered 3 times in a row!!! 100% user error.

Anyway, I was locked out and needed to restore from seed. Well my seed didn't work. I must have copied it down wrong. I nearly had a heart attack. I did some research and found a seeds cracking service. Since there are only so many words used to make seeds as long as a certain percentage of the known words are correct the seed can be uncovered. 3 hours later this dude had my wallet back. Dude works for free, but accepts tips. I tipped him 3 ETH I think which at the time was like $175 bucks or something. Well worth it.

Anyway, don't be stupid like me. Test your seeds!!

Thanks!

How did you transfer your LTC to it? I downloaded the app, but I don't know of a wallet app that transfers.

**Whiteroom_Guardian** · 12-03-2017, 10:23 AM

I sent my LTC direct from coinbase to the LTC app for Nano S.....pretty sure. It was probably over a year ago and I haven't touched my LTC since.

**Bobby Stainless** · 12-03-2017, 02:20 PM

I guess I just can't find the LTC app on Chrome.

Pretty sure that app is found in the ledger manager app and not directly from chrome.

I remember it being something weird like you have to install the LTC app on the ledger and open it on the ledger than launch the BTC chrome app. You then use the BTC chrome app to manage LTC on the device.

i wish i had the time to figure out how to buy the right tech in this story. i am convinced it is the vehicle rather than the cargo.

**Mazderati** · 12-04-2017, 11:45 PM

Apart from blockchain tech? That seems to be the underlying theme.

**Bobby Stainless** · 12-05-2017, 05:53 AM

Would the TRG bitcoin Jedis buy before or after Sunday?

Hard to tell, one idea is futures traders are going to try and push down the price before next week. I'm not convinced they can do that with so many optimistic crypto kiddies.

Im thinking about running a once a month crypto traders meet up. Maybe the first few would be me going through setting up a coinbase account using my referral link of course and wallet. Dumb idea?

Yeah most of the block chain cos are still private. I been asking around. I would like to get in on that side as well. I agree the underlying tech, not the "coins" are where the real future $$$ are at.

They are basing it on the Gemini exchange, blind auction which happens everyday at 4pm est. That will keep the volatility down. Why not use coinbase/gdax??

IPOA ticker symbol. It is social capital run by chamath palihapitiya, a former early Facebook executive billionaire dude. Took social capital public to act as blank check Co to bring "tech disrupters" public without them having to jump through hoops. They have not made any acquisition yet, but I bet they will buy someone like coin base, or digital currency group. Chamath is big time bitcoin supporter, and blockchain in general. I bought some, I think (and this is based on my own research, you should do yours,) that this guy is going to act as VC for blockchain tech companies. This is how you can get into owning the tech.
Riot blockchain also does this somewhat, and has majority stakes in verady (accounting and financial audit of blockchain tech) and tesspay(smart contract execution using blockchain). I have made some money with riot already, and eyeing an entry point again, probably for a longer term hold than the first time around. What a wild ride that was.
Supposedly this is what marathon patent group does as well (on top of the intellectual property that is the base of their business),but I know less about their play in the blockchain bitcoin world.

The upcoming futures trading caused GBTC to dip far enough to trigger my stop limit today. Probably for the best, GBTC is going to get hammered by the futures as it loses the value of its premium over their holdings. I'll be on the sidelines for a bit, was a good run.
