I've been in and out of various cryptos, mostly Etherium. Don't currently have any crypto. The fact that you can now buy through Paypal and Square is a big boost for all of the cryptos, but not sure if this recent pop is going to be sustainable. My guess is if you wait, you will probably be able to buy it lower, but I could also see BTC hit 30K before then too.

Totally agree.  Now is definitely not the time to buy.  Would have been nice to buy more at 3k back in March.  But you know... timing things like this are scary.

bought a little bit at 13,000 then more at 15,000.  using coinbase but i wish there was a mechanism where i could put an order in at a specific price-anyone know of one. 

i actually got into the bitcoin reluctantly so i could play some bovada.  as i'm waiting for my funds to become available, i was watching it go up and up and...f@*k bovada, this is more interesting now,  one another good entry point before this goes to 50k

Coinbase Pro actually. It's connected to Coinbase, you instantly can transfer cash and BTC back and forth. In Pro, there is a standard market/limit/stop loss buy like in any brokerage for equities

thanks wags, so i can transfer what i have in coingbase to cb pro?  i'm looking into that thanks!  i'd actually like to see it drop a little more...back up about 3% ($17.6k right now) over last 24 hours.  i think it dipped just below 16k yesterday early

yes, you shouldn't need to transfer either, I think if you login to pro, it works.

All time high hit this morning

Correct.  You log into CB Pro with your same Coinbase credentials.  You do have to "transfer" from CB, but its just a deposit function that is instantaneous and then you can sell.  Then you can either transfer cash to a bank from CB Pro or send it back to CB and do it that way.  Either way its seamless and quick

Is there a moral hazard in being involved in Bitcoin?

Is there a moral hazard in being involved in Bitcoin?

Why would there be?

[forgetful]

Why would there be?

Bitcoin is often used for illegal transactions and money laundering.

Other currencies are never used for such transactions.

Worried about bitcoin, but not worried about withholding covid care from those you deem unworthy.

You might want to just log off for the day, kin.

Cryptocurrencies are often used and preferred by those dealing in human trafficking.  I think there is definitely a moral component to it, now I don't think that by investing in it you are directly contributing to anything immoral or bad, but there is a darker than normal shady side to crypto.

Then what exactly is the "moral component" if people who invest it aren't contributing to anything immoral?

Did I say I was worried?

The argument he used is frequently used by people who think Bitcoin is untraceable currency.

Which it isn't.

Dollarydoos are most certainly used in plenty of nefarious ways around the world.  Why don't we consider that?

After testing $24,000 per bitcoin this week, Coinbase filed for an IPO with the SEC.
