67%, said they had taken no steps to lock in any of their profits by selling some of their tokens. And just one in six said they viewed bitcoin as a short-term trade and planned to sell within a year.

Most of those polled said they planned to hold their bitcoins for years.

E: Do I hear 8500?!

Just bounced right off a $1M wall at 8600 on GDAX. Looks like a second attempt is going to be made to break it down.

below 8600. There was a 56 coin buy at 8600 that mysteriously disappeared when it hit that price :thunk:

The only good race pace is suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die

quote:

Asked why they were betting on bitcoin, 41% told pollsters that they believed the digital currency was “a world-changing technology,” 21% said it was “a long-term store of value, like gold or silver,” and 15% said they were taking the advice of a friend or family member.

:murder:

We have one of these guys in my extended group of friends. Used his "bitcoin debit card" to pay at a group dinner at a steakhouse over Christmas and just couldn't wait to answer questions. This was literally the week before bitcoin debit cards were shut down.

CNBC posted:

The digital currency dropped nearly 13 percent to a low around $8,810 in late morning trading, ET, on Coinbase, the leading U.S. marketplace for trading major cryptocurrencies. Coinbase reported at 11:40 a.m., ET, that its system was experiencing issues with a provider of SMS 2-factor authentication that was impacting "user sign-in, signups, and confirmations for sensitive actions," according to the company's status website.

Bitcoin recovered slightly in midday trading to just above $9,000.

CoinDesk's bitcoin price index, which tracks prices from four major cryptocurrency exchanges including Coinbase, also briefly fell below $9,000 and was trading near $8,948. CME's and Cboe's bitcoin futures contracts for February both fell below $9,000 as well and hovered around that level.

This is one of the current top stories on CNBC, Bitcoin is just so awful that a 24 hour financial news network can't keep up.
