Anyone wanna sell me 1 BTC? Trusted people on the forum only.

I've been trying to buy Bitcoin since forever from individuals and it's rare that I've ever been able to get any. I'm actually owed back a couple thousand in BTC right now. I will sell you one for 8,000. It's a good deal considering you probably read the same article I did.

If you actually need some Bitcoin for a quick transaction like a sports bet or something like that then hit me up via text.

It's going to be difficult to try and find someone to trade for it, let alone sell you it.

Perhaps this is just news to me, but I saw a bitcoin vending machine at my local gas station, mini convenience store. "Buy Bitcoin" Then it had the price. At the bottom, it had, "Need a bitcoin wallet".

I call it vending, but not sure what it vends.

Thanks for the link, Axel. Apparently Hayes is from Buffalo, so I tried to get some info on him, with little success. Seems to be a new billionairre that lives in Hong Kong now. I doubt he shows up for a trial. If convicted, I think this could put a SIGNIFICANT downward pressure on Bitcoin. Sell now!

I think the price dropped a few percent on that news. I don't think it's going to have a significant impact overall. Bitcoins here to stay.

A google inquiry- what are bitcoins gave me two million plus results. Nothing on the front page corrected it to bitcoin.
Wiki states that about 20% of all bitcoins are lost and there is nothing the rightful owner can do if the key is lost. It is currently selling for just a bit over 50% of its high from several years ago. I have no idea why people think this is a good thing to invest in.
Can you insure them? My collectibles/investments are all fully insured. Can you buy any sort of insurance or does that defeat the purpose by creating a paper trail?

No real reason to insure them. Or do you mean can you buy protective puts? I have never looked into that. Probably somewhere, but like insuring a stock you will pay big and it is not worth it long term. If you could buy puts and write calls to make a collar maybe it would work.

One in five bitcoins are lost. Think about it. One in five people who buy one will never cash it in and it becomes worthless. If that isn't a reason to insure them, I'm not sure what is.

I wouldn't say I'm necessarily an investor but more of an accumulator, since I use it frequently (I have speculated a few times and I purchased some when it dipped really low). Someone can lose their wallet or just about anything.

I'm not sure ,but I think that figure might be a little misleading. How much of that 20% was lost when Bitcoin was easy to mine and basically had very little value. At that time? I'm sure people didn't really care or want to be bothered with keeping track of it properly and we're very careless. Kind of like how people were careless with baseball cards when they were practically worthless and plentiful.

I had like $20 worth of Bitcoin back when it was in the $500 range while experimenting with a crypto wallet app on my phone. It was only 20 bucks worth so I didn't really keep track of the key and I've long since replace that phone.

One can buy a crypto wallet you don't need the key in order to access the crypto wallet, you just need a PIN number. If you happen to lose your crypto wallet you can buy another one and use your key and access your coins. You can also just keep your coins on a crypto Exchange. You could split up your cryptocurrency I'm Different exchanges and multiple hard wallets. Whatever the case, if you do it correctly you can Safeguard yourself from all that and even split up your BTC in different wallets and on different exchanges.

Mine are insured in as much there are two written records of the 24 word key, stored in two remote locations and not that it matters, but the key has been used to create a backup trezor wallet.
Apart from having them stolen off the blockchain, I or my benefactors will have easy access for as long as the blockchain and internet exist.

I agree, my trezor is all the security I need. If I lose it I have two back up 24 word keys stored securely in separate places.

PG.... if you die, will your heirs know what to do to monetize your bitcoin? My regular bank accounts/stock accounts easily transfer to my heirs. They don’t have to find a 24 word key stored somewhere. Would someone even know you own a bitcoin?

Yes there are detailed instructions on what to do if I die. Everything is laid out so that nothing can go wrong. I’ve also explained it to my parents and my sister. My financial advisor also knows what to do if somehow all 4 of us pass at once.

it's really not that much more complicated than using a credit card or online banking/ PayPal. Once you have it set up, it's pretty easy to use you simply click send or receive and copy and paste the address(most people used to factor Authentication on their Exchange). You don't have to have fancy hard wallets to use it, you just have to get on a crypto exchange like coinbase. Using a hard wallet is a way to avoid keeping it on an exchange.

Be honest, I don't know what everyone uses cryptocurrency for. I just know it's the easiest thing to use for online casinos.

It crashed during what we could call "virus week." That was a great week to invest in almost anything if you figured we would have a bad year but recover. I was lucky and had just sold a flip house the first few days of March, for once in my life timing was good!

Currently we are getting more and more institutional support. 2017 was more Asian day traders. It is very possible we run to six figures thus time then another pullback.

Just by the by... Yesterday as the BTC price was peaking, I was receiving a few hundred dollars worth. In spite of the 'normal' priority fee being paid by the sender, it took nearly 8 hours for the first confirmation to occur. Never seen that before. Usually more like 20 minutes.

I don't know about buying virtual cats with ETH, but as flaws go, this hiccup was trivial.

I now have a chunk of wealth invested in Bitcoin and liquidity is not a problem YET.
Converting to Fiat currency will present a bit of an obstacle, especially in a post-internet world or if trying to use a mainstream Exchange.
Unfortunately UK tax authorities treat Bitcoin much the same as stocks and shares and NOT as a currency. So, I have to either keep a close eye on potential Capital Gains Tax issues, or I have to just embrace a grey economy approach.

Not anymore. Now $39,800. So anyone who just decided to jump in is down around 4%. Anyone who jumped in at the recent low (5800) is up around 700%.

I am not smart enough to even understand why it is volatile. And certainly not smart enough to know if it goes to $50k before back to $35k.

I sold an early Spider-Man comic last week for about $15,000. If we'd gone through Paypal, it would have cost me close to $500. I'm not sure how it was done, but using crypto-currency, I had $14,875 in my bank account a day later.
I still have zero faith in its long term value, but I now see it can be useful in some transactions. The book was on consignment and the owner expected to be charged the Paypal fees so he was very happy when he found out I'd saved him 75% in fees.

Did you not as that same question at $10k? $20k? $30k? When it’s $50k, will you be asking..... ‘why was I so stupid not to buy at $40k? I don’t understand it. Probably never will.

as of now. I have no idea who would buy it at this price, I guess the people who think it's going to 100k.



Institutions are the buyers. PayPal needs a ton of it. Hedge funds are buyers. Those of us who dollar cost average are still doing so.

Noobie question.... If you have been buying dribs and drabs for years, when you sell, do you tell Coinbsse or whoever which bitcoins you are selling? Or is it all one big pot? Of course this is a tax question....

"Which part you are selling" does not matter. It is like a stock capital gain AFIK. You could go FIFO or weighed average. Again AFIK.

BTW: It is really not proper to use a plural. One Bitcoin, many Bitcoin.

I forgot you can now buy it with PP. I'm not buy or selling right now. I did sell some over the last few months. I just have a feeling it's going to take a big hit soon. I have nothing to back that up, it's just a gut feeling.

You will need it for your criminal defence when they finally figure out why you really love traveling around the world.

Hi Soopoo. With coinbase your coins are mixed in with their's and CB just maintain an account balance for you. You neither own nor control the coins at all. So No. You cannot direct them to sell chosen BTC.
Here in the UK, our tax authority HMRC, treat BTC like a stock or share and EVERY purchase with BTC or conversion to fiat, is deemed a disposal at the going rate. Because we have to report purchases and disposals on our CGT ( Capital gains tax) returns beyond a certain low level, it means a massive amount of record keeping. Failing to do that causes problems when disposing of big quantities.
NOTE: Coinbase is reporting transactions to IRS and HMRC. Personally I would not use CB for anything more than a few hundred dollars a year in transactions. I keep my BTC keys on a trezor hardware wallet.
Psalm 25:16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Proverbs 18:2 A fool finds no satisfaction in trying to understand, for he would rather express his own opinion.
