Wait, I think I meant Voise. Sorry

Nobody is spending $20K a night at clubs unless they are multi-millionaires and those people are more than likely going to either already be in crypto or sitting it out completely.

You underestimate how much us millennials spend on stupid sh1t then.

Interesting but then again that is 1/6 and even with $100K, nobody is dropping 20% of that lifetime savings on 1 night in the club or even half that IMO

Anyone that can jnt on 2/1 will make $$$

XBY was rumored to be going on Binance and it ended up not going. Down 17% this week due to it. I'm thinking of hopping on and riding it out though

Don't believe any rumors about coins going up on Binance. They are very secretive about this since they don't want price manipulation. The only reason we know about RaiBlocks is that RaiBlocks won the poster vote.

What do you guys think of all the bitcoin forks planned for 2018....can't really be that great long term.

"""Sixteen percent say they have $100,000 or more in savings, up from 8% in 2015.""""

Oh. Is that what they say? 1 in 6 kids has 100k lying around. That is fukking ridiculous. 100% ridiculous.

[k13]

Supposedly coinbase has changed their merchant code so its cash advance now on CC purchases.

[hotcross]

thanks k13. Meantime does anyone know if ACH and/or Wires into Coinbase for deposit are any faster?

Coinbase was having delays on processing bank wires and not sure if ACH too in late-December, citing a backlog.

I wonder if they have cleared that up? Also if anyone has tried to withdraw out to bank...same question?

Coinbase is in for a rude awakening on their terrible transaction fees, lead time and overall bush league trading policies

That would only be about 5 kids from your average high school classroom accumulating 100k before they are 30.

I guess in a lot of classrooms none would do that, but there would also be a lot of classrooms where a lot more than 5 do that i think. Could be in the ballpark.

Article mentions Millenials is anybody up to 37. Sure the 30+ years olds are bringing this number up...esp. the ones that haven't started buying houses or didnt start out with massive college debt.

I've stopped buying through Coinbase ever since Square Cash gave me the ability to buy BTC. Only pain with them is transferring BTC out of the app, while free, takes a few hours to transfer out. I only sell through Coinbase now with no fees on GDAX.

Okay, let's say this is true.

2015: 8% have $100k.

2018: 16% have $100k.



When you project these numbers out and it's an astronomical surge. No way.

Robinhood announced today it is introducing fee-free crypto currency trading soon.


Only BTC and ETH will be available for trading when that rolls out to waves of users starting in California, Massachusetts, Missouri, Montana, and New Hampshire in February, though more will be added.

Anyone else on XVG? It dropped on "fake news".


Just moved my ELF into it.

[horja1]

Quick question: Binance has BCD @63USD, KuCoin @138USD and all other exchanges have it @12USD - how is that possible?

Xvg has drops from “fake news” every week. Like many others the people running the show have no idea how to handle any sort of PR and are a mess. I think they’ll probably eventually make a run, but in last month I’ve decided to get out of these shitshow coins like trx and xvg and not worry if they’re going to boom, plenty of coins will boom without the constant drama. Good luck though.

Alright guys. Tomorrow is the big day. From here............... we moon!

Not a stretch if you consider the majority of white collar millennial have a 401k with a company match. Also with the gains from the stock markets the last year or so its not too hard to do if you can manage to save around 7-8k a year into your 401k and ira.

I've been looking at this WaterTech ICO for some reason. I'm investing very lightly in a couple right now but I'm a real sucker for water based companies as a lot of VERY smart investors have been in for a while now and water is obviously going to be a problem soon. Somebody want to talk me out of this?

Is there an actual use to the "coin", or are they merely trying to skirt SEC regulations in selling equity by selling a "coin" instead of shares? Just glancing, it looks like they're selling a purification product, so why aren't they seeking venture/angel investment and what problem does integrating block chain technology solve that other solutions wouldn't (besides making it an ICO instead of a traditional business project)?

Heard about this today as well. Looks like this is only going to be for small amounts but still this is exactly what I was looking for in another thread.

[Arky]

A couple to add to your radar:

Edgeless (EDG) - Ethereum based online casino. Play poker, dice, black jack, sports betting with the EDG token. No house edge, hence "edgeless". Currently #164 at coinmarketcap.com. Currently going for $1.52 @ Bittrex, hitBTC, others...

iExec RLC (RLC) - cloud/blockchain-based processing. A lot of positive vibes out there because this coin actually does something. Currently #106 at coinmarketcap.com. Currently going for $2.86 at Binance, Bittrex, others.

Second that.... just strengthen your current positions and "trust the process." Sorry I've been Mia from the thread... works been wild. But not like I had any credibility left according to some anyway so maybe a short lived return

Shocka, "the boys" (including me) valued your input. As for taking on risk, that's always a personal decision.

Stick around. You're definitely an asset around here and I like reading your opinions.

What do you guys know about bitcoins lightning network?

A friend of mine is involved with them (as a coder).

What I heard:

*Once lightning is in use everywhere, fees will be a thing of the past.


*Is not gonna be ready soon! a lot of exchanges have to change their shit, and a lot of users need to get used to a slightly different flow of payments.


*The biggest limiting factors of bitcoin are, 1) transactions take +10min. 2)microtransactions are impossible. Both of those just got fixed.


Less than 2 weeks ago, lightning is active on mainnet, wallet makers are already working on patches to include lightnign network support.


Then btc will be like tap-to-pay. boom!
