RM 5021..... who is still buying?

Say, why are you all using USD? You're buying with MYR right?
Most reassuring to the ears!!!! Exciting times indeed! 

See see, just when I want to add some BTC, it shoots up from RM 4900 to RM4988 in a couple of hours! 

Didn't managed to get some Bitcoins last weekend when it was low. looks like on the uptrend again.....

Was doing some research on ant miners.... so difficult to get these "critters" in Malaysia. Anybody doing mining?

Sold off some BTC yesterday late afternoon.
Set an automatic limit in the exchange, and left office to go for dinner.
Sale was confirmed right before the sudden run up around 9pm.
Absolutely kicking myself right now.
       

Where did you sell it?

I wanna sell mine too 

I sold on XBit Asia after comparing with Luno. Surprisingly I got a better price at XBit Asia, so I just went ahead.
The liquidity is too low on XBit Asia, though.

Yes, unfortunately, all the usual verification documentation is required.
I've done it with both XBit Asia and Luno, just to give myself more options.
Not very happy with having to disclose such personal information, but no choice.
I don't really trust Localbitcoins.

Nope, both XBit Asia and Luno are online exchanges......you only deal with the exchange, you never meet the buyer.
You just log in, transfer your bitcoins to the exchange account, set up your sell limit, and that's it.
Once someone agrees to your price and buys your bitcoins, then the exchange will execute your sell order automatically and fund your account with MYR, which you can then withdraw to your local bank account.
It's very convenient. Just like your normal stock exchange.

Well, I wouldn't call it "dangerous" but I definitely wouldn't use an exchange to store my bitcoins, that's for sure.
I hold my stash in cold storage, and only transfer the amount I need to the exchange.
Meaning, my account on the exchange is usually 0.000000 BTC. 
When I need to sell 1 BTC, I only transfer 1 BTC to the exchange, and execute a sell order for 1 BTC.
When somebody buys my 1 BTC, the exchange notifies me by email, and I log in to the account, and see the MYR in my exchange account, and then I just execute a withdrawal order, and the next day I see the MYR in my bank account.
The above scenario does not take into consideration the fees that are applicable, as different exchanges have different fee structures.
But in order to sell on any exchange, your BTC must be in the exchange account.

Well, there are several exchanges available in Malaysia, and I only use XBit Asia and Luno, so I really can't say which one is the cheapest.
From personal experience only, so far, XBit Asia gives me slightly better returns.
If you are going to sell in many batches of very small amounts each, personally, I think one thing you have to consider is the transaction fees. Transaction fees generally do not vary too much whether the transaction amount is large or small, so making many small transactions will actually eat into your profits rather significantly.
But of course, if privacy is your main concern, then this might be acceptable for you.

Just as with any bitcoin transactions, it will only show in the blockchain ledger when a miner successfully completes mining a block and adds it into the ledger.
Depending on how much transaction fees you paid (usually determined by the exchange that you sent from), it could take anywhere from 1 minute to 1 hour.
The higher the transaction fee, the higher the priority and the faster your transaction will be confirmed.
Personally, the fastest confirmation I ever got was less than 2 minutes, and the longest I had to wait was something like 40 minutes.
Some exchanges even specify that they will only update your account when more than 2 or 3 confirmations are available in the blockchain.
Don't worry, your transaction is safe, just congested in the queue (assuming your sent to the right address!)

Congratulations!
More to come.
Let's hope the ETF gets approved next week.

Where did you sell it? And how much the fee? I'm still looking for a platform to sell my 0.0999 bitcoin 😂

I am very keen to set aside some of my savings into Bitcoins having little faith in first currencies. I have put some money in gold but I realize that Bitcoins and silver are not to be overlooked.

I would really love it if someone can help me towards buying my first btc. Please pm me and I will be most appreciative. My phone contact is 0122040983.

Currently XBit Asia's fee is 0.25% for Maker, and 1% for Taker.
But starting from 11am on 10th March 2017 (this Friday), for will be no more Maker/Taker fees.
They will be switching to Buyer/Seller fees.
Buyer fee will be 0.5%, and Seller fee will be 0.8% per trade.
Also, note that there is a network fee of 0.0003 BTC per transfer, if you are transferring your BTC from your XBit Asia account to your hardware wallet, etc. This fee is for the miners.

Haha, you always promote your telegram group. Will take a look tonight.
0.5%/0.8% a bit expensive leh. I don't really look at fees but as far as I know, I'm not charged anything for buying BTC at remitano or localbitcoins.
From my reading, normal computers are not worth it. I found that many use antminers or hardware specifically designed for mining but it's so difficult to get those in Malaysia.
