Will definitely try coinex. Looks nice Smiley Thanks

As far as cryptsy... My buy is still pending... I don't think they'll get any more business from me until they have everything fixed.. If I had a good amount of money invested then I would be furious..

Thank you! I had saw bter before and couldn't find it again. I thought it would forever be gone Cry lol

And yea, I had heard a lot of good reviews on cryptsy.... and it looks like whatever updates they made are messing a lot of stuff up. Maybe they'll get it together soon? But until then, I need something reliable.

Good exchange for day trading?

I know Btc-e but they don't have that many alt currencies... I tried cryptsy. Luckily for a low amount (0.04 btc), and spent it all on BUK two days ago. Transaction listed as pending still -_-
Bought at 0.00020195 BTC and got 197.67348195 BUK... Missed a chance to sell at 0.0003+ twice now waiting lol. Thats like .019 btc I could have made lol. Not that big of a deal with such a small amount... but I'm planning on day trading with ~0.5-1btc and those numbers can get a lot bigger missing out because of pending transactions...


Anyone can suggest a good place to do some day trading? I see it can make a nice profit... And I'm interested lol

Hopefully you were able to buy another one cheaper than your last over the past 2 crashes and lower your dollar-cost average.
Unfortunately not... I ended up getting my extra money tied up after buying that 1btc... now I only have a few hundred I would be able to invest again anyway. Oh well, next week there will be more buying Tongue

tbh yea you dont want to miss the train, i understand that, but i definitely wouldnt go all in at this price. maybe half if you are feeling frisky. this bubble will pop, they always do, and you will prob be able to buy in at somewhere between 500-800 if you are patient.

This is an option I've been considering... Only thing I've been afraid of it waiting and then it doesn't drop back down. I'd feel sick if I decide to buy in and the price has risen to $3,000 lol

I feel that the money I'm investing into btc is money that I am willing (ie. won't die if I loose it) to loose, so if it drops before coming back up, then that's fine... I'll just buy more if it drops Smiley

I might just buy in about 1btc next week. then try to invest at least $500 weekly if possible.

Thanks everyone

EDIT:
Also, I want to buy in to make money, but I'm not expecting to become a millionaire. If I could pay off all my debts in a few years I'd be happy. If I could buy a house (paid off full) then I'd be ecstatic lol. Becoming rich from this investment would be surreal... And I would enjoy every minute of it lol

Place a limit order on an exchange like Kraken.com. There's no reason to just get an alert when the price drops; get your order in now, and it will automatically execute when the price reaches that level.

Thanks i'll look into that.

I understand Smiley Seems like if I'm going to go in with BTC then go ahead and do it.

I'm still wondering about different ways to buy in though... Because I almost want to put some money towards btc, and then begin day trading with some alt coins. Some of them are turning large profits quickly Tongue If I'm lucky, I could make a good profit.

I have been interested in bitcoin for a few months, and bought a coin or two before, but ended up withdrawing it all back into cash. Went away for a little while and didn't even think of bitcoin for a little while and looked it up to see it was now $400... Watched it rise, and rise... And Now I find myself wanting to kick my own !!!!!!!!!!! for not buying more (and keeping them).

But since I'm in this for the long run, and not to make a quick profit, I'm not looking at the current ~$1,131 value of one coin as a bad thing, because I thought it would rise this high when I first looked into it...

So now I'm stuck here deciding... Either buy into btc now (I have ~$1,400 that I can invest safely)... or wait and hope for a price drop...

What are your opinions? And whats a good way to ensure I can get a good deal? i.e. say it drops $100 or so in a day for a few minutes...? How do I make sure I can get that price before it quickly jumps back up? I'm currently looking for a program or website that will make a noise or something if it drops to or below a certain point lol
But how can I have the money already deposited somewhere so that all I have to do is press the button to buy? I know localbitcoins, but is there anything else trusted?

Thanks to anyone who reads this and helps  Grin

Small purchase lol but I'm looking to buy ASAP. If you have a minimum that is higher than that then let me know and I might buy more.

Don't really know what kinds of payments to offer, but either way it will have to involve cash. I have no online currency, but l'lll put money into bank account, send western union, or however else.

Scammers stay away Cheesy I'll go first to people who have a good reputation on here. Otherwise, we go through a middleman. I will be doing more business with seller for larger amounts.

i bought a greendot moneypak from a local drugstore and then used localbitcoins.com to find someone who accepted it as payment. total time took ~1 hour. the only fee was the moneypak reload fee which was $4.95 and the exchange rate of USD/BTC the seller wanted

That is actually a good idea... im going to try it when i need to buy btc Cheesy thanks

I found out about bitcoin a little while ago and its really interesting me lol. I am starting to understand it (somewhat) and keep learning more and more. One question I had though, was whats the best wallet that I should use?

I have blockchain.info wallet, but I don't feel as comfortable having my wallet on another server. If somehow their servers got hacked or anything, wouldn't that leave all of the wallets stored just open to be cracked?

Also I wanted to know peoples opinions on the falling prices so far? I just got into it later and didn't get into stocks because of the fluctuations lol but I did notice that a few weeks ago it was over $100 per btc and now its 90 something..
