I had an account with some online bank (chime) that I put $400 into, I connected it to my coinbase account and they immediately closed the account with no reason given. It took over a month for them to mail me a check with the remaining balance. They really don't gently caress around with crypto stuff. Luckily my roommate/landlord sympathized with my situation and gave me more time to pay the rent. I would have been hosed otherwise.

major banks in canada have been doing this same thing for nearly 10 years, except you don't get a check

THE GREAT MANBABY SUCCESSOR

One of my best friends is a web sde and got into ravencoin a few years ago. He built a rig for around 3k with a bunch of top of the line Nvidia GPUs and despite my cautioning insisted that it would be the next big thing. Two years later and the rig is collecting dust in the basement. When I asked him about it he said it never panned out.

Holy poo poo, a week ago my brother reminded me of the time our cousin asked me a year or so ago if I wanted to "invest" in what was basically a penny stock-equivalent cryptocoin. It was also ravencoin.

I thought the pattern was:

Price hasn't gone up in a while. Sell sell sell!

Okay, price has come down again. Buy buy buy!

Repeat.

In the meantime you get HODLers who just aren't getting it at all and don't know what is going on.

This sounds like a reasonable statement regarding a financial construct:

quote:

"Moving forward, it is important to keep an eye on the last zone of defense between $10,000 and $10,500," Joe DiPasquale, the chief executive of San Francisco-based bitcoin and crypto hedge fund BitBull Capital, said via email. "As long as this range is respected, bitcoin is unlikely to see a prolonged bearish spell."

RESPECT THE ZONE OF DEFENSE!

quote:

"$10,000 is the new $1,000," Charles Hayter, chief executive of bitcoin and cryptocurrency analytics platform CryptoCompare, said via email, adding: "2020 has seen leaps and bounds in terms of infrastructure, regulation and resilience across the ecosystem as it has evolved over the last three years."

lmao this is entirely because empire the biggest (and one of the longest lasting) darknet market exit scammed/got seized by the feds. i do not know why people put a ton of effort into predicting the trends of bitcoin, i can give it to you in two sentences: can you buy drugs easily with bitcoin? if yes, price goes up, if no bitcoin crashes.

e: or, as i put it previously

if you know the addresses you can look at a blockchain explorer.

importing the wallet.dat into any bitcoin wallet like electrum will also give you an answer.

I get an error when opening in electrum. I downloaded part of the blockchain up to the date the wallet had on it and it looks like there is about $80 worth. Can I go ahead and send that without downloading the whole blockchain?

TBH if you held on to that you could have $90 in a few days... or $70.

This is actually the correct reply. Just say you have a bitcoin wallet on there with an unknown amount in it.

Do you understand cash? I mean, do you _really_ understand what's behind cash? No? But you still use cash, don't you?

The same thing applies to Bitcoin - it can be used without understanding it. So it's time to step up and embrace the global crypto-currency utopia like the rest of us.
