    Why does bitcoin fluctuate so much? What's the deal with that?

    And how do I stop it? My payout lost 25 bucks (not including fees) since 8 this morning. Just gone wtf?

    Bitcoin newb obviously

    but that is for the birds

    but it would be around the same for a person too person so...

    if anybody can explain how to avoid this

    I'm all ears

    You cannot avoid this, just take a look at what happened to Ethereum today.
    Bitcoin is highly speculative, it doesnt take a lot of money to move the price compared to other assets.

    Thanks fellas I'm just going to let it sit

    well I really have no choice

    im getting that light blue sell button that won't let you press sell on coinbase Lolz

    good news is my payout from yesterday from coin base already hit my bank acct

    they said it could take 7 of 8 days can't remember.

    being in there under 24 hours is pretty cool.

    Ask for a check.

    Just make a big bet and see what happens. Same as withdrawing using bitcoin.

    Get a bitpay debit card, convert to USD right away when you receive the btc

    or

    Use coinbase wallet and convert to USD when it hits...

    Every market price movement is a function of supply and demand.

    will look into it the bit pay card

    the loss for me is I place the withdrawal with you wager at 7am it hits my coin base at like 1 or 2 those hours is where the loss happens. Mostly, I still have a dead sell button I may just let this one sit in coin base just to see what happens for like a month.

    Maybe be if will go up

    if not it gives me something to complain about
