Ha well yes probably a bit of both.  That will be major speculation on BTC going up and sounds like you will have 98% of your liquid net worth in BTC .  That is a pretty aggressive position.

But hey, if it goes back to 1000 (and beyond), you will be sitting pretty.  I can never figure out how much of my funds to put into BTC but going to up mine a bit too on this recent strength.

Yes I love bitcoin but gold is pretty and shiny, so it has its place.

Yes I bailed on multibit months ago.  It is just too flawed and got tired of it losing my BTC, even though I eventually recovered it.

yes people hit me up all the time to by with venmo.  It is scam central.

I already buy and sell through Local bitcoins as much as I can, but I can't always get what I need, so that's why I was using Conbase.

If you have some other suggestions for fast purchasing, I'm all ears.

Yeah... CON BASE is exactly what I'd call them!! You hit the nail on the head.

Conbase is a bunch of crooks!

I jumped through all their hoops with name, address, bank account verification, credit card verification and even waited 30 days to get to Level 2.

And twice now I've bought bitcoins at a decent price and had to wait 6 BUSINESS days to get my coins and then 8 MINUTES before they are supposed to be deposited into my account, I get a notification that the transaction was considered "high risk" with their "high risk" form letter. You can only buy through a bank account with them, so all the transactions are high risk! So they canceled my transaction after waiting 6 days and now it says it will take 3-4 BUSINESS days to get my money back!! Seriously? They've had my money for over 10 days now and I haven't received neither bitcoins, nor cash back.

Oh, btw, I bought  btc at like 140 and on the day they were supposed to credit my account, btc was up to 185. So, because I would have made a decent profit, they f***ked me.

This has happened twice already. Each time it has been because I bought at a good rate and by the time the coins were supposed to be in my account, the price had gone up more than a few dollars.

I am telling everyone that I trade with not to get near Conbase. They deserve every cent of bad karma that they get.

I guess this is why XRP is going up so fast.  I wonder if it will go back to .02 like it was recently?

having the same problem here but that works.

I'm logged in just fine.

Yes taxes are a hassle. I am converting some BTC to cash and not sure how I am going to deal with tax consequences.

Yes I agree 1000 is the minimum you want to keep in your acct

Yes it was easy to get a 300 XRP loan at first when they were just worth about 20 cents.  But then XRP went up and were worth $1.  Now it is down a bit but still in that range and people can't afford to give out a lot of loans.  but the price shoudl fall back down in time.

It is the same deal between MtGox and Bitstamp.  I wish I could figure out a way to do some sort of arbitrage there but not smart enough to figure it out.

Want to suggest to Myrkul that he read Konrad Lorenz " ;)On Aggression".  It's innate.
