I had no problem withdrawing bitcoin (amount worth in excess of 100 USD at today's prices) from C-CEX recently.

Verge (XVG) is a wholly different matter. 

That post was made during the first big bitcoin price bubble (peak at USD 31,91), which popped three days later, then crashed down to 2 USD over the following months...

XVG wallet is a major sticking point at present.

I did successfully withdraw a small amount of bitcoin from the exchange very recently so they are not totally down or anything.

Yes, that's the right procedure; you're good.

2010, 2011, 2013 (twice), now...

Bitcoin is almost certainly in a bubble, a short-term one. I think we may be flirting with the Greed phase, but who knows?

Long term, I'm still very bullish - we may still be at "smart money" or the "lunatic fringe" as Andreas Antonopoulos would phrase it, so eloquently the way he does.

I've got a fresh order in with them, let's see how this goes.

God, I love a bit of nostalgic reminiscence.

Still hodlin'.

Just HODL forever.

I don't have any very recent experiences with them, but all my trades with them have been smooth and pretty much perfect - based on that, I'd say they are highly reputable. Of course, circumstances can change, and the last order I did with them was slower than usual but nothing too alarming. Caveat emptor always applies but if their circumstances haven't changed in the past year or so, I'd still recommend this vendor.

"To zero or moon" is the essence of the cult of HODL.

We'll be getting plenty of good feeds at Laszlo's Pizza Parlor!

As the bitcoin marketplace matures over time, the market will smooth out this volatility. More 'coin in more hands is a major help, whether it be spent or HOADRed.

There mightn't even be any potential tax issue in some jurisdictions, such as those without capital gains taxes, but there is certainly the issue of money laundering / use of ill-gotten gains / theft investigation.

Being an age-old fan of Back to the Future (the trilogy), I have the occasional Marty McFly type dream.

Maybe I could go back 50-odd years and somehow marry the lovely lady I had a crush on in my high school days (my then best friend's Mum, P.H. (1944-2009), God bless her soul; linked photo is taken from the public domain). But in that parallel universe, my best friend couldn't then exist (!) and we couldn't have that. Also, life as a coloured person in the 1960s (in a majority white western country) wasn't necessarily always all that flash, even if the music sounded much better than most of today's filth.

Being able to use the time machine only one time poses an interesting dilemma, a very different situation from the BBC TV show Goodnight Sweetheart with its time portal, the novel 11/22/63 with similar, or of course Back to the Future (1,21 GW a prerequisite!).

Hello again!

I'm interested (potentially) in offer number two. I just need to check that all the coin numbers shown in the order list are available, since it seems others are about here placing or considering placing their own orders.

Not really. I contemplated donating to the forum when that was fashionable: BTC10 would get you a "green coin" label and BTC50 a "purple coin" (VIP) label. However, it's clear the forum and theymos were/are not desperate for the funds, so I decided only to make a token donation in the end.

The necro's are such trolls.

I'm still here though.

Never enough. One can never hodl enough bitcoin, unless one is Satoshi, Roger Ver, etc., I guess.


Lots and lots and lots, even when the exchange rate was about 10 bucks. Should've hodled a lot more, with hindsight, but just like with Laszlo the pizza legend, if we never used our bitcoin, maybe it would never have taken off to begin with, right?


Maybe about BTC11 by scammy defaulters on BTCjam, and a bit more loose change elsewhere. And I've been more circumspect than some unfortunates in this community.

Spend and replace is the solution to this?
