New highs earlier today.
8K some resistance though.
It would be interesting to see it pop and what it does, but hopefully Mr. Guru doesn't have anything invested at that point.

I currently have everything in Bitcoin Cash....and up about 10%....if Bitcoin breaks 8K I'll transfer everything back to BTC and ride the wave to 10k.
It's a juggling act right now since it's so volatile.
I try to buy at the dips and either convert to USD or BCC whenever BTC looks to have topped. Making money on both Bitcoins upswings and downswings.
The only problem is when Im away from the computer for a couple days. Transferring everything or the majority of your investment to USD is safe when you have no internet access.
Ripple is a long term hold... the technology is there and is a slow burner, once they get more banks to adopt their technology, it should pick up some pace... If you're after short-term profits then go with the alt coins... You just need to know when to get out with them. At the end of the day you're putting money into something that's not tangible and really has no value. At least bitcoins you can use it to purchase something, where as you can't go into a shop and spend OMG or ETH for that matter.

Is there anything illegal about buying bitcoin? I am thinking of buying some as a small investment. If Bitcoin goes to $1,000,000 then a $500 investment now might be profitable .... but would it ever get that high?
There are currently no legal or tax ramifications. From a legal side, that could change. If the US just decides to legislate it and say it's illegal, well there goes Bitcoin. That's unlikely though, considering Bitcoin is just a coin, and the technology of blockchain is getting ingrained everywhere in society. Much more likely is that both the US and Canada will legislate tax ramifications (capital gains) into it, so you'll just have to pay tax on your return whenever you sell.
As for the valuation, is it possible? Sure, theoretically. Do I think it will get there? Not realistically. I still think it's a worthwhile speculative investment, if you're not too fussed with the $500
Nothing illegal about it.
Welcome to the biggest bull market mankind has ever seen.
I've bought and sold and bought and bought a few times with my earliest entry at 3k as noted in this thread.
About 4x my investment right now in a couple months lol.
If I had a dollar every time I heard that Id have 1 bitcoin by now.
Again, the West isnt even the big time players in Crypto. Not yet anyways. That title belongs to Asia, for sure.
We're actually seeing this spike because of Bitcoin futures coming to Nasdaq (US) later this month.
Just wait until we see Bitcoin ETF's. Oh baby.
A while ago you were planning to start a Bitcoin position at $3000 (and did) because that's where you valued it. Now you value it at some number multiple times that amount? What has changed in the last couple of months to change your own valuation so dramatically? Is it actually worth that much more now in your eyes?
I'm genuinely curious to hear why you were selling at $4000-$6000 (somewhere in there, if I remember correctly) a while ago, but now you're speaking as if the skies the limit and everybody should hop on and enjoy the ride...
My biggest fault is locking in profits waaaaay to early. But as the saying goes 'No one ever went broke by locking in profits'.
I think my average now is around 7k.
Even back in this thread I wasn't sure about the long term outlook of Bitcoin.
The thing that really changed my optimism is the mainstream adoption which took place within the last few months.
Also, 300k new subscribers to Coinbase (a bitcoin exchange) over US Thanksgiving weekend.
It's market cap hitting $400 Billion is ridiculous.
And of course, it's journey into financial mainstream. Futures trading makes it pretty legit. Bitcoin has been on CNBC everyday for the last three weeks it seems.
Does the Crypto currency scene need regulations? Of course. When that happens it will only strengthen the market IMO. All these alternative coins is just adding fuel to the fire, IMO.
As Im typing this Bitcoin explores new highs.
What a beast!!!
+14K
EDIT: I do think a correction is coming but a bubble? Nahhh, not yet anyways.
I have a paypal account. Let's say I deposit $500 on there, then buy $500 worth of Bitcoin .... then the price triples in a few months (hypothetically) is it easy to cash out? Can I just request it in cash or whatever sent to my paypal?
