Bitcoin and all that

I am really not sure tbh. Quite vague. The article states that Binance are not permitted to undertake any regulated activities in the UK. Although I thought currently that crypto is unregulated, so I’m very confused.

 

I assume Binance will have to issue some sort of statement to clarify what exactly is happening, and whether there is a deadline to transfer funds. 

I think it means you're not covered by the FCA if it goes tits up.

Business as usual according to Binance https://twitter.com/binance/status/1409229415846981634?s=21

I'm ok with that if that's what it is, hardly talking about a fortune I've got with them. 👍

 

I might not be saying that i̶f̶ when XRP moons. 😄

They will just continue on like nothing has happened. 

No crypto is regulated whatsoever. 

It's an exchange. 

Never leave anything just sitting in an exchange. 

Always transfer your crypto into a secure wallet.

Where does everyone recommend to buy bitcoin? Im going to get involved, the price is right and got a nice wee rebate from the taxman

 

Coinbase Pro is the cheapest I've come across so far. You need to do a bank transfer rather than use your card. Normal Coinbase lets you use a card but, the fees are much higher.

Not invested as yet but keeping occasional eye on Bitcoin price. Two random people have slotted Bitcoin into the conversation without prompting recently and I take these things as a sign I should be more interested.

 

Thoughts on it dropping below 30,000?

It's already below $30k and dropped below £30k in May.

 

 

[Remnants of Standards]

Others I've spoken to on this regard Bitcoin as kryptonite and far too volatile but will happily invest in stocks which are prone to the same falls. 

Interested to see where this goes in the next few months and may jump in once price flattens out to a degree.

Their is a huge difference between investing in stocks and crypto. Stocks have a intrinsic value to them then, that is not the case with crypto, which is essentially speculation. 
 

Crypto has no intrinsic value, it’s extrensic at best. 

 

 

Plus, the game may be stacked toward the big players but at least stocks are regulated, there's nothing to stop massive pump and dump schemes with bitcoin.

Ok cheers for that guys, understand a little more now.

I've got the princely sum of 35 quid invested. This is a screenshot from my Revolut. Bit confused about the chat around BTC being worth 30k?

Has anyone looked into staking cyrpto? I've only come across this in the last few days and was wondering if it's safe and provides reasonable benefits? 

[hughesie27]

My combined Cryptos worth about £900-£1k now depending on the week. Only about £150 invested. £600 of it from mining Ethereum for the last 4 months or so.

 

Very much enjoying the latest surge in price across the board.

[cuthy2k]

Personally I would be buying ETH instead of bitcoin right now. 

 

ETH has many more uses and may very well overtake bitcoin when ETH 2.0 happens. 

 

ETH was down at £1.2k a few weeks ago, now £2.2k. 

 

I got into XRP before the legal case so am holding that.

Yeah I stake some of mine mate. For Algorand I use the official Algorand wallet, think it gets about 5-6% per year. 
 

Also stake my Cardano on Exodus, think it gets like 4.5-5% or something around that. On Binance, I have pancake swap staked which averages 34% per year when I did it a couple of months ago. 

[Famous 1874]

Has anyone dabbled into any of the crypto NFT games? 
 

Signed up for sorare and it seems pretty cool. It’s basically a fantasy football where you can win ETH and / or player cards that can be sold for crazy amounts of ETH. 
 

Seems to require a decent start-up cost to get going though. I’ve got a referral link if anyone is keen. Need to buy 5 new players on the auction (bidding) and then we both receive a star player card. 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Started dipping my toes in to the crypto market a month or so ago to learn a bit more about it. Bought a few coins already and doing ok. Still holding though. Still got a fair bit to learn! Started mining as well a few days ago on the back of this thread and that's going well.

Gotten right into STRIKE Coin the last 2 days.

Few mates bought in when it launched in April at about $150. Now sitting on $4/5k as it currently fluctuates between 3/5 cents a coin. 

I bought yesterday at 1.3cents a coin. Currently at 4 cents. Had a great day. 

 

Requires you do buy through Metamask and Pancake Swap if you are familiar.

 

If not then watch this.

6pm tonight for a big announcement. Price shot up 30% over night after that news.

 

Likely that the announcement is them releasing their Dex which will make it easier to buy and allow folk to stake.

Yeah they are converting it to a new coin ahead of the imminent release of their own Dex. 

The new coin (and Dex) has been audited by Certik and is insured 1:1 against any hacks so you won't lose your money if the worst happens.

 

They are bringing in a 9 months Tax on selling which is 3%. This stops bots undercutting legitimate buys and puts off day traders and scalpers trying to make a quick, but small, profit.

 

There's also an anti-whale dump feature where big holders are unable to sell more than 0.5% of the total supply in a 24 hour period.

 

New coin launches tonight at 6 at 12.5 cents (the price the old coin closed at yesterday) alongside their first marketing campaign. Couple of Premier League players have bought in a couple weeks back and I was talking to the CEO last night who said that a PSG player had just joined them too. Still just under 7000 people bought in so it's extremely early days. Plenty room for growth.

So aye, not a pump and dump. Just getting started.

Good time to jump on board.

Shib up 900% this year alone. 

 

Up 10% in the past hour. 

I bought it as a joke after missing out on doge. 

 

My binance earning pool consisting of 6.8 million shib is equating to a 4.1% return every month. 

 

In money terms Ive made £230 just by holding onto it and loaning it out on the exchange. 

I done the same with liquid swap pool with VET and earnt a tidy sum of different coins on a 0.89% return. 

 

Thinking of reinvesting my shib including all my accumulative earnings back into another 3 month locked exchange. 

 

I can only see the value of shib going up next year. 

 

It will never get to a penny...........

Put in £100 basically at its previous peak this year. Then it was about £40 or so for a few months. Decided to cut my losses and invest that £40-£50 into StrikeX that I've been mentioning on here. That £40 is now worth about £500 now. However I've invested a bit more here and there as the price went up. Probably £300 all in. Currently worth £2k. 

 

Had I just held onto the Shib the £100 would be worth about £200 now. 

 

Got a mate who is heavenly in on Shib too and held the whole time. Told him to switch it to Strike once he broke even again after the dip but he is holding. 

 

SHIB may well keep going up but it's always liable for huge sudden dips.

 

I was lucky with Doge. Managed to sell half of my holding at its peak right before the huge dip. Good to have a get out plan for these meme coins. Or take some profit out that will make the dip less annoying.

 

 

Coincidentally Strike just launched their first product last night. TradeStrike Lite (A Dex like Pancake Swap). Effectively in Beta for next couple days as the community test it out for bugs.

Let's us Stake 10% APY (no lock in so can withdraw coins any time) with a 20% APY bonus for November.

 

Best used with Metamask rather than Trust Wallet if you have an iPhone as they've had some teething issues with IoS Apple phones not being able to connect a Trust Wallet to the Dex. 20% APY won't kick-start until their Dev team has resolved the issue.

It's too random for me, I've done so much reading on different coins and tried to be wise, but at the end of the day it's completely unregulated so all it takes is a couple of whales to decide to sell now and the value of your investment plummets.

At the risk of coming across as a complete shilling machine that is what I like about StrikeX. It's not a meme coin with 100billion supply. It's deflationary so coins will only ever reduce, never rise. Plus the tokenomics that I mentioned on a previous post. 

Plus on the Discord the team are always there to chat and answer questions. The CEO Joe is brilliant.

 

Of course there is always risk, nature oif the beast. But on the flip side of the risks is potential for huge gains. 

 

Being £2k up over a couple months is more than I expected but there's not a hint of me looking to sell anytime in the next year. The team don't actually care much for the price right now. They obviously love it's growth but they anticipated 1 cent by end of year when they launched.

Their full platform TradeStrike launching in a year is also already fully funded for development at £1.1million (possibly $) so the price really doesn't impact the long term plans.

A mate came to me just month shouting about a crypto that was going to make him a millionaire. I laughed at him and then later that evening I decided that I couldn't handle him being able to afford a Lambo if I couldn't and so I withdrew £130 that had been in a bookies for months and bought in.

After gas fees I had $91 worth of Saitama. Not much happened with it for a couple of weeks but then it tripled in value over a couple of days and I stuck another £500 in. That has since tripled and somewhere in the middle I put in another £800. All in all £1430. As it stands I'm over £2k up with it and it looks like it's going to do very well with decent gains in the next month or two. 

 

I still laugh at my mate and tell him my chocolate coins haven't turned to gold yet but I know he's sitting on more than £100k and it's going to grow massively. 

 

It's definitely worth a look for anyone in the game. It's not on many exchanges yet and it's still early. Don't dismiss it as a meme coin because it certainly isn't.
