    Thanks for your help.
    I personally think you should have at least 1% of your investments in Crypto. 5% is probably the top. I'm sitting on all the top 10 cryptos and about 20 more. I like ADA, TRX, XVG, Doge, Monero, Zcash, Ven, RDN, Steem outside the top 10.

    https://coinmarketcap.com/
    All these coins went down with the BTC ship. They all went down at 9:30am ET. I think this is a good time to buy in. Even though, I think we could get another dip. Just buy in. I see BTC low level around $11k like today. You may see some fluctuations the next week or 2 that you might be able to play.

    Where do you hold all your coins, Mac? Just in an exchange?

    People who are in fear of Malware or adware that could potentially relay where your coins are. They could somehow transmit or hack into your private keys. Something to do with that. Only way this could be accomplished is if your laptop had access to the internet.

    A guy on youtube was showing how he did a factory reset of an old laptop... used it exclusively for storage of bitcoins.... and he did it by not using the internet. You still need confirmation codes to get it to your storage. It's sort of confusing... but he used a USB storage stick to transmit the codes to his "OFFLINE" computer... You need at least one computer that's online to grant you these codes. Again, sounds confusing... but the guy accomplished it.

    Raiders here at SBR said... you need a wallet that has access to "private keys". He told me that's your main concern.

    And make sure you never save those keys to any file on your computer.

    If your computer ever crashed etc... You could open Electrum anywhere... with those private keys and access your coins.

    If you're on the internet, someone could hack into your computer and using a key logger for example, figure out your private key and steal your money. They could do that with your credit card of bank account BUT your bank would most likely reimburse any stolen funds because it's insured. If you have your coins offline (cold storage) it would be impossible for someone to steal it over the internet. Although a greedy wife or kid could know more than they should and rob you just as well. Haha. If you use an exchange like coinbase, bittrex or binance, there's a chance they could get hacked as well (look up Mt. Gox theft). Coinbase is FDIC insured up to $250k but what the hell does that mean when the government doesn't consider BTC money? They may only be able to protect your USD wallet. Who the hell knows.

    I have a bunch of BTC's in cold storage, which to me is safer than putting money under my mattress. We shall see.

    Opti is a good guy. He loves to help out.

    It's tough learning everything. I don't know everything there is to know about "private keys" either.... but you type those words at youtube... and there are a lot of helpful videos there as well.

    Bitcoin has "crashed" 30% SIX TIMES in 2017. Each "crash" has been followed by an increase of: 76%, 237%, 183%, 165%, 152%. Bitcoin takes 7 steps forward, 2 steps back, 7 steps forward, 2 steps back. Every 2 steps back is heralded as the end of bitcoin. Relax!

    I have coins all over the damn place. I can't even keep up with it all. I think I can minimize my risk by spreading it out a bit. I have accounts at bitfinex (have it under an international account), bitstamp, Binance, bittrex, Cex.io, blockchain, coinbase/gdax, gatecoin, gemini, hitBTC, Kraken, Poloniex, YoBit and I think a couple more??? I have only BTC in cold storage but I'm planning to move a bunch of alt coins offline as well and hold for long term.

    I heard this hardware wallet works very well. They are constantly adding new features to manage multiple coins. The damn price on it has doubled in the last few months though. Anyone here using it?

    Bitcoin on the move right now. Up 6% in the last hour alone. I knew $11k was the bottom but couldn't take advantage of it.

    I do to. I hold coins at Itbit, coinbase, bittrex, poloniex, cryptopia, livecoin and a couple in paper wallets. It's a great way to hedge against an exchange getting hacked and also can be helpful when arbing. Just make an excel sheet to keep track of it all.

    The concerning part is that, based on your picture there, a realistic trading range for bitcoin would be somewhere between $7000-$12000. Which, in the big picture, is a pretty darn awesome performance for the year. But, lower than where it is now.

    Please explain? It just went down about 30%. According to Puckk's pattern it would now go up right?

    I really like the blockfolio app. It keeps a good track of all my coins at multiple exchanges. I just don't know how to update it easily if I move from one exchange to another. It's a lot of work to keep u when you move a lot of coins.

    What info do you have to give the app for it to have access to all your balances?

    Well, based on the handy red and blue lines superimposed on that picture, the previous trading range for bitcoin throughout the year would put it somewhere in the $7000-$12000 range today. Hey, don't ask me to explain this stuff, I was just looking at the pretty pictures.... :-)

    Cancelled after the price increases after the first cme contracts. Used the funds to buy more cardano at .10... bought some at 13k that Saturday night (dec.9) though. Hard to keep track of so many buys. Have some money hitting my gdax tomorrow. Hoping to buy under 14k again :fingers crossed:
