Could well be mate, but that's why it's called speculating and not earning! It's much more likely to be an event inspired dip though, which is common, and a great opportunity to dive in before the market recovers.

We're saving for moving home next year so I can't play the way I'd like to, which also means the fees are more of an issue so I'm more conservative. At the moment I'm only playing with about 70 quid though, the rest is in my Do Not Touch wallets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. A short 2 min clip of what Bitcoin is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc2en3nHxA4&t=12s Regards to wallets I use Coinbase and Blockchain, Blockchain is having a meltdown just now with fee's etc so i am mostly using Coinbase just now. People have started kicking up a stink about Coinbase the last 12 hours, this is down to them not supporting the Bitpay Card, I for one am not worried about this card as never planned on getting on so it dont affect me. Wallet can be found here: https://www.coinbase.com/join/59520e9509d920051734b2f6 Some basic information, set up guides etc of the official Bitcoin page - https://bitcoin.org/en/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of similar ICO’s so it’s definitely a bit of a minefield. Interestingly I’d read that Cardano had an ICO and had you bought $50 worth when it went live 3 years ago you could have sold last week and walked away with over £110k (GBP).

It is basically placing bets in regular sporting events such as premier league games and laying it off to make it look like you are a regular punter. You might make a small loss such as 1-2p or gain very little like 1-2p. Over all it is worth it for the more likely hood you won't get gubbed.
