Bitcoin....who's gotten into it?

[shera]

QC is fud, just as much nonsense as bitcoin strategic reserve. Everyone just clamoring.

The common choice is Coinbase. Not the lowest fees, decent variety of altcoins but not the best. I use it. Keep thinking I should shop around, but I have inertia. Not necessarily recommending it.

This thread is hilarious in that there are no coiners claiming BTC is a fad for almost 10 years now whose primary source of information is mainstream media click bait articles "debating"multiple software developers who have done deep research on crypto and have much skin in the game.

I'm taking a grand in BTC profit and donating it to the beaver summit lift ticket party. I hope to see you all there!

Then there's the fool injected clown car maxi-pads who argue bitcoin will solve the climate crisis, create world peace, end racism, solve housing affordability, end inequality, and on-and-on......

I've never said BTC will end these problems. But I think it's a big step in the right direction.

When "the good guys" are complicit in genocide, CEOs are getting gunned down on the street, and entire generations can barely afford housing, maybe it's time we try something different?

A PSA for the bitcoin technofeudalism dorks. After you tear down the existing liberal order masses of dunderhead Jong's will drink your blood, not the other way around:

Even if businesses one day quote prices in bitcoin and employees ask to be paid in it your arguments will still be inane

Maybe everyone should try drinking bleach. That would be different.

byates, it feels good to take some profits, right?

Your utah thing is at the end of Feb right, will you be back to taos after that?

[byates1]

I'll see. Severe clear high and dry here. If it's all season i may freak out and leave. I'm thinking Feb 1 is decision time. I have passes in UT ID and CO plus Indy so.

Come to Beaver. It's rad. Dunfree is our guest athlete this season. He will show us how to drop in heavy.

Weather pattern will change eventually. Taos should be all white sometime in Feb I would guess. I'm skiing with a ski club this winter and I paid big bucks for the privilege so I'm not planning to cut out early from that. Can't believe I'm paying to ski instead of getting paid, so hopefully it's worth it.

Ooooh, what are the privileges?

[shera]

Best privilege is cutting lines, especially good for weekends and powder days. Also Copper is a big area and it's super nice to see how other people ski it, opens my eyes. Food is half price. And it's sociable...I'm trying to be more sociable.

[byates1]

I've never heard of joining a club to get to cut lines. Huh

[shera]

Over the Hill Gang at Copper. It's hosted by ski school and has a guide in an instructor uniform. They don't do any teaching, just ski around really fast, but the uniform get us through the line.

I guess I should say that it's a big club so we will split off into groups and I'll ski with the double black group which is the fastest and strongest. They are really good.

[byates1]

Awesome

Glad to hear you're living your best life! Never been to Copper, but I hear it's fun. Only been to Breck, Vail, Telluride, and Silverton in CO.

Paywall I kinda figured quantum and AI would be able to do an end run around some security stuff. It'll be interesting to watch.

So I've been watching from the sidelines for way too long. I want to get into the crypto world and don't know which platform is best to start with. I think I want simple and easy to use (because I'm dumb) and it needs to have access to a good variety of coins. Platforms I work with for other stuff don't offer what I want. Is BitGo good?

While I'm never really the person to say it's not the time to buy BTC, it's really not the time to buy BTC. You can likely make some quick alt coin gains in the next month or two and then dump those after the season into some stable coins, wait for BTC to crash, and fund your BTC nest egg then, not now.

The goal is to stack it in bear markets and then profit. That being said, there are vehicles like ITrustCapital that will let you trade crypto within your ira or 401k. That might be an option for you. If you are going to be playing in the spot or derivative markets, FFS, get a cold hardware wallet and keep your shit off of exchanges. They can lock, freeze, front run you, or disappear. Not your keys, not your coins. You can use it to on-ramp, off-ramp, but you should be able to do most of your trading on DEX's or actually right within your hardware wallet and never have your coins leave your possession.

You can look at bitunix for no KYC trading, but there is KYC if you want to on board USD. YMMV, not a user. There are plenty of dex's out there. What I would suggest is using an exchange to convert some cash to USDT/USDC, dump that in your wallet, then go to Vegas with it. /s on the last part. GET A HARDWARE WALLET and don't use crypto on your phone. Set up a separate e-mail account for your crypto shit, use a completely different browser, and never mix crypto with any other activity in your life.

Given that we are in the middle/end of a bull run, I don't see the purpose of gaining exposure through ETF's at this point. Too hot, too late given that there are only a couple ETF's available. Good luck, don't invest more than you are willing to absolutely lose, take the very long view, and enjoy the ride.

Fartcoin 100x leverage. This is the way.

Not financial advice.

[MakersTeleMark]

I wouldn't recommend leverage trading crypto to a newb, leverage with crazy volatility is kinda dumb, but if you are going to use it, keep it to 1-2% and you better be damn sure you know exactly what you are doing and plan tight stop losses.

I know you are joking, but if someone gets into it and treats it like a casino, they will learn very quickly that it certainly is not.

[byates1]

I kinda hope BTC craters back to 50. Would like to buy. Seems the world is now focused on not being left out of BTC so it could just go up forever Laura.

Good stuff. I have some learnin' to do. I agree that it's the wrong time to get into BTC but some of these smaller coins make sense to me, like XRP.

[MakersTeleMark]

There is plenty of liquidity on the XRP/USD XRP/USDT pairs on Kraken. I prefer it to coinbase, but YMMV. Get it on, get it off.

Not financial advice, but the XRP army are a bunch of fools, but hey, I'm not against you making money. DYOR, set a strategy, play it out and see how it goes.
