I guess I still have an account there - didn't they spin off to gdx something. I can't even remember - so long ago.
Robin Hood is really easy - only $1k though.
BREAKING NEWS: BITCOIN HAS CRASHEED
I guess I still have an account there - didn't they spin off to gdx something. I can't even remember - so long ago.
Robin Hood is really easy - only $1k though.
still havent really gotten into trading other than what i have going on in my 401k
i know theyve generally been trending well, but im still skeptical of the concept of investing in crypto. at least with other investments i know theres a business behind it, and they make public filings, etc. like its cool to see how you can make reasoned decisions, ie CC getting involved with pot stocks, etc. but with crypto? i just dont get it. they all just feel like meme stocks
Well, I don't buy and hold. I buy and sell - take my gain and rinse and repeat.
I can see the attraction of this Robin Hood to youngsters - so gimmicky. And this free stock - I hope my brother got a better stock than my $5.21 one. Still $5 is $5.
Ethereum was down to around 2700 last time I checked. Was thinking of nabbing some before it ticks back up
Lol oh it's on sale let me get my checkbook
coinmama and coinbase both sell it and other coins. easy to find if you look
That coinbase account was under hubby's email - no wonder I couldn't reset password - duh. My memory is TERRIBLE these days.
I've found coinbase to be extremely long, like fricking days, from time to buy until send-ability
coinmama is much faster to buy and send, then send to your coinbase or othe wallet where it is immediately available.
That's right. Pity I didn't notice earlier, but I was working.
I think you can buy Ether at TJMaxx too
Just picked up Dogecoin. We'll see.
2400 most recently
Young man, you need to fund a roth ira while you qualify and play around trading an index etf. Leave the purely speculative trading for when you and your future Dr. wife have money to spare.
Use Coinbase as your wallet and Coinbase Pro to trade. Transaction fees are way less on Pro and Pro allows setting limit buys/sells. Transferring between the two is free.
That’s what I’ve been doing. Been making max Roth contributions for a few years now. About 50% in index funds, 25% bonds, and 25% random
Ya'll better be buying.
On the tech side, at least with Bitcoin, the design is such that monetary emission becomes more and more scarce as more coins are mined (over time). It is balanced in such a way that very early on inflation outpaces scarcity, which is desirable in many ways. Since the coin is easy to come by, it can be spread around quickly, and that's always a desirable early on in adopting currency. Over time, scarcity overpasses inflation, mined coins are harder to come by and thus the value of coin stock gets higher and higher. This obviously happens only if the coin is desirable as a monetary instrument.
The system has two weaknesses, one currently more real than the other. The first one is that since transactions are based on majority consensus to avoid double-spend, should a bad actor gain control of almost half the network nodes, they could approve double-spend transactions, thus 'creating money'.
The second issue is that the balance of scarcity/inflation is based on proof-of-work that relies on the intractability of reversing hashing functions. In the bitcoin case it's SHA256, in other currencies, different algos. In general, these are well known algorithms with no vulnerabilities. As the network increases the difficulty on the proof of work, more brute forcing of values need to happen, thus slowing the monetary emission rate and increasing scarcity.
However, a shift to quantum computing can make these hash algos technically reversible. They wouldn't be reversible per se in the sense that you would work from the desired result back to the unhashed data, but because quantum computers allow you to explore processing paths in parallel, you can effectively brute force the hash in parallel, until you obtain the desired result.
well, you wanted to know how it works...
Avoided this harder than the plague, thankfully.
well, china this week clamped down on crypto coin transactions so can't pay for Chinese stuff for now with crypto coin. China is said to be preparing its own digital crypto coin
Almost at 1M with traditional investments.
Keep buying crypto whatever.
That's the smart thing to do while you're young. Gambling is fun but the power of time is a sure bet.
