apparently ICO investor wallets will be live middle of next week

gives you some idea on futures on bitcoin



still could go either way

i would say use BNB to trade on Binance.
a couple reasons :
1 ) -50% fees.
2) some coins you purchase from Binance, u might get decimals after minusing 0.1% trading fees. some coins value are too low, hence u cant sell the decimals.
example, i bought some IOTA, they charged me and I have 0.98IOTA which i cant sell at all. using BNB, u won't have this problem. buy 50 IOTA, sell 50 IOTA.

Luno is an exchange.
for maximum trust, put into a paper wallet
if you got cash to spare, buy a hardware wallet.

dont ever fully trust any websites if you dont have the private key.

definitely. hodlers see the value of btc in the near future, earning a couple of bucks now (unless you are in need of cash) it not worth it. futures only can play around with prices, but the long term is still a win

i had a problem verifying with Bittrex. didnt bother anymore, just use Binance. no need verify, withdrawal limit is 2btc

yep, using BNB really worth it.

new exchange coming up - http://coinex.com/btc.html

made by ViaBTC. exchanges all trade against Bitcoin Cash instead of Bitcoin

i didnt end up depositing with them
they also disabled my account when i couldn't do the basic verfication because they were matching my details with 'public records' or whatever, so couldn't deposit in the first place.

if you transfer everything out in 1 transaction, got no fees

yeah, i moved it a few times already, never got slap with a fee when i empty my entire Luno.
accidentally left some once and they charged me.

bought mine from ledger website during sales.
there are official resellers here, but the Black Friday sales was cheaper.

when you want to send your crypto (BTC/ETH etc), you need to key in your private key on the computer. this increases the risk of getting hacked, possibly due to keyloggers or hackers having access to your computer or browser etc.
using a hardware wallet means the private keys are stored on the USB device itself and never shown on the computer.
what it does it signs the transaction for you when you confirm your transaction on the hardware itself.

this way its like a physical 2factor authentication and your private keys are never exposed. hence, its considered very secure.

just becareful abt keeping your 24 word seed as anyone can restore your details into a new hardware wallet if they get that 24 words.

flat line for awhile also ok. my alts are slowly recovering haha.
18th dec again major movement due to CME

eth rising vs USD, but relatively shit vs BTC. sigh.

was 0.04ETH/BTC before BTC spiked up, now even at 530-540 usd its at 0.033ish

its because BTC is worth more. alts need to go up in value together with btc to keep up.

i had a feeling ltc mihgt moon @ 90usd. but no more btc to buy
end up moon higher than i thought...

ethereum : to the moooooooooon

the cycle is turning.
fiat > BTC > big alts (LTC ETH) > tier 2/tier 3 coins > ICOs

Ethereum soars above $600 after a group of big banks announce a new project on its blockchain

Ether's record tear follows the announcement of a data quality control project on Ethereum, the blockchain network underpinning ether, by a group of banks led by Switzerland-based money manager UBS. Ethereum, unlike bitcoin, can support applications on its network for projects outside of digital money, such as so-called smart contracts.
Barclays, Credit Suisse and UBS are among the banks involved in the pilot, which will help prepare them for Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MIFID) II, a sweeping regulatory overhaul in Europe set to go live in 2018.

yep, doesnt matter when you buy/sell your coins, it will be 0.1% or 0.05% if using BNB.
not sure if there's a limit, never hit that before.. hmm. can just leave your order until it hits
