Kraken BTCJPY 1,000,000 !
Bitcoin will soon be $10000 if this raging bull market keeps going.

Kraken BTCJPY 1,000,000 !
See? It's all about semantics! And the power of semantics is immense!
That's why we should adopt the mBTC unit. I've tried countless times to persuade people to buy BTC, only to get the same response: "BTC is far too expensive, I'll buy Doge instead."
1 mBTC = $9. Nice & cheap. Not expensive anymore! Everyone, come join in!
Edit: Something's coming... And it's
RED and
MEAN...
Tell them to buy sats instead, they're cheaper than doge at only $0.000091 each. They can buy 100,000 sats for about $9.

That wall was 1200 coins high at $10000 since yesterday. However either someone just pulled 200 coins out of it or they were bought. It's dropped to 1000 coins high now. I suspect it's fake, and most of it will get pulled soon.

$100 down on Coinmarketcap in minutes. Was to be expected I guess. It will probably float around this range for a bit and warp upwards soon.
At this price a $100 movement is just noise. In a few years time a $1000 movement will be just noise, and when one bitcoin is one million dollars a ten thousand dollar movement will be just noise.

What site do we consider to be the official one, as to when 10k hits? Bearstamp?
It's already over $10k on CEX.IO.
When it's over $10k on bearstamp we'll have five figure bitcoins on all the exchanges.

Good morning Bitcoinland.
Another day another ATH... currently $9974USD/$12779CAD (Bitcoinaverage).
Old coins total $11881USD/$15216CAD (Coinmarketcap).
Getting closer to the USD joining the 5-digit party. C'mon, you're holding up the festivities.
Go Bitcoin go.
Bitstamp's just had a $9920 ATH. It can't be much longer for it to reach the 5-digit party.

Over 71k unconfirmed bitcoin transactions atm.
is this record high number of unconfirmed transactions? i am checking them a bit in last month and its highest i have seen
Not a record high no, there has been much higher during spam attacks on the network. This is the highest for a while though, highest I’ve seen for ages any way.
I don’t normally care but I’ve been waiting 2 hours for a confirmation & Via BTc accelerator is busy AF.
There's a chart that shows the worst its ever been here. The record high was in May.

Nearly 2.00a.m. here but glad I stayed up to watch the show. This is truly incredible, especially when we remember how we all felt in 2015 when this place was full of bears. Congratulations to all. $10,000 for one bitcoin. WOW!
I'm really intrigued to see how the next crop of psycho bears will approach the next fallow period. In 2014/15 there really was the possibility it was going to nothing. That's going to be a harder sell next time around.
They will try to convince everyone it's going back to triple digit coins using technical indicators and charts.

Whoever's got that wall on stamp trying to make $2m, do yourself a favour, drop it and come back at $20k, thanks.
Someone's taken a 40 bitcoin chunk out of it. It's down to 160 coins now. That wall can't hold up much longer.

This is exactly what I was expecting to happen right before the whole thing unwinds and crashes to zero. The signals are all there. Get out while you still can.
Bollocks! This will not stop until at least 100k USD, we can reach that point in
8 months!
He said it was impossible for it to ever go above $2000 again months ago, and now he's saying it hitting $10k was exactly what he was expecting to happen..
Once bitcoin drops below $2,000 again, it probably won't ever get back up above it ever again.

Kraken still below 10k. After that wall got eaten it'll be mostly empty, too. All bitcoins sold out soon?
I assumed bitstamp would be the last to break $10k but bit-x is still below $10k too.

the kraken's just joined the $10k party and there's only a 10 coin wall before $10k on bit-x..

Where is the correction?
$127 million buy orders on stamp (record?) and 1000 btc on the sell side
The people putting up walls near $10k probably expected it to crash just before $10k or just afterwards, but they will probably have to buy back at a loss when they realize there isn't going to be a significant correction.

And I saw 17k this afternoon in a meeting and thought "I could just start touching myself here..." Then it went down to 16k and doom filled my heart....
I saw $19697 on GDAX today and thought all the other exchanges must be close to $20k. Then GDAX went back down to $16k and I realized all the other exchanges hadn't gone significantly above $16k.

Just got home to see we recovered from today's $1.5k correction and we're back up to a new ATH.
Go Bitcoin go.
Russia legalizing bitcoin is probably helping the price.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-will-be-legal-in-russia-mining-to-be-regulatedBitcoin will be legal in Russia
As the state works on legislation, Moiseev stressed that buying and selling Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies would be legalized. Just how long it will take for this new legislation to take effect is a matter of time, but it could be a few months at the least.
This is quite an about turn for the country, as president Vladimir Putin had all but condemned Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in October.

and we dont know who have been pumping bitcoin recently. It could be hedge funds who are going to sell contracts in CME, and we dont know if the banksters who are against bitcoin will be their clients or not.
I think this was more or less settled (Koreans) ? Unless bankers and CME shorters would use the KRW markets with 2-4k premiums...
The Koreans undoubtedly have a massive impact.
However, most big bitcoin exchanges are struggling to cope with the sheer numbers of newbies registering with them to buy bitcoins. Every time I look at the news there's another bitcoin story. The sheer volume of publicity is bringing more and more people into bitcoin, and they aren't all Korean.

What people think BOA patent news means: mass adoption of crypto
What it actually means: Cease and desist orders to all existing crypto exchanges, and either no use of the patent or use for proprietary bank coins
Ah, you're a wee ray of sunshine.
I know nothing about patents. How is it possible that something that's been operating for years across the world thousands of times over can suddenly be restricted like this when they had nothing to do with its creation?
Can I patent KFC or Taylor Swift and fire them?
No, I think anything that's already been publicly demonstrated can't be patented, so you can't patent Taylor Swift then send her a cease and desist order.

I'm totally fucked at Coinbase. Sitting on an obscene amount of fiat from a recent sale, but don't have access to my Funding/Withdrawal page. Something 'tarded like below is what I'm getting.
Sheeeeeeit.
Why on Earth didn't you do an OTC sale? There's no way I'd trust any exchange with amounts above a few grand. They're too prone to freeze you over AML shite.
How do you do an OTC sale? Do you have to go through itbit, or is there some other route that keeps coins out of an exchange?

Hand them cash, face to face, they send you bitcoin. Or vice versa. Also they could give you a flash drive with a wallet on it.
So it's like doing local bitcoins trades for millions of dollars? If I were bob I wouldn't be comfortable with sending hundreds of coins in return for a suitcase full of funny money. How would he know if it's real money in the suitcase, or if it's funny money?

why not buy with online exchanges?
I prefer the security and anonymity of OTC and ATMs.
I learned my lesson with MtGox. Lost 50 coins. Never again.
When I acquire coins, they go straight into offline cold storage, mostly paper wallets, although I do keep a small amount (less than 5 coins) in a Trezor for convenience.
I don't ever want to expose my coins to the internet. I also resent nosiness. Anonymity is the cornerstone of freedom.
Yes, ATM fees are usually higher than exchange fees but when you consider the cost of transferring fiat currency and the total lack of anonymity of online exchanges, it's a small price to pay.
Whenever I have the chance to acquire coins for cash, anonymously, it's a bonus. I've met other Bitcoiners at meetups who I only know on a first name basis. I've also bought coins from storefront gold and coin dealers without divulging my name. They get their cash, I get my coins, no names required.
Did your ATM let you withdraw 2 $2.5k transactions anonymously (without ID) a few weeks ago? I assumed you must have provided ID scans to get that kind of limit allowed.
You can get that much out of an ATM in Canada?
No problem. Some machines allow up to $10k per day to stay within AML limits.
My local ATM allows up to $5k per day but I had to split it into 2 $2.5k transactions.
Paid me all in brownies ($100 bills) after only 2 confirmations. Fast, clean and simple.

I guess out next stop will be $14k, then bounce back.
Many alarms are now ringing for the sell.
It's only three weeks ago that bitcoin made a $10000 ATH. Today's price isn't too bad compared to that.
Kraken still below 10k. After that wall got eaten it'll be mostly empty, too. All bitcoins sold out soon?
I assumed bitstamp would be the last to break $10k but bit-x is still below $10k too.

the kraken's just joined the $10k party and there's only a 10 coin wall before $10k on bit-x..

Off Topic, but should be of importance to everyone, really.
Anyone using proton mail? I've left gmail as my general email provider (kitten pics, boring shit, and log ins for unimportant shit) for too long, and I'm not convinced my 'more secure (obscure?)' providers are any better. The last straw - I just reset my passwords via webmail, and ALL of my android devices automatically updated and logged in with the new passwords. This is beyond sketchy. It screams GET OUT NOW, or years ago, if you have a way back machine. I try not to use it for anything important anyway, but WTAF. So its time to evacuate and consolidate. Anything better than proton out there? If it's not free, it has to accept crypto. And of course, be anonymous.
Yesterday I made the same decision for different reason. I got pissed off with Gmail not playing nicely with Outlook 2016 and switched to a paid ProtonMail account. Very good - their Mac IMAP encrypt/decrypt program is excellent. I’ve been using free protonmail to send passwords and private stuff for a year or so. They’re good.
Check out zoho mail. There's a free version and a paid business version.

Trying to claim my bglod from Trezor is a right pain in the ass
How come?
In my case it was a piece of cake. Finished in under a minute. In the coin splitting tool I specified the Bitfinex BTG deposit address and they went straight there. Seed not compromised or revealed anywhere. Got some Monero with them at 1/3 of their current price. More than happy!
You are one of the lucky ones to have an existing bitfinex account. New registrations are now only allowed with a referral code, and it's impossible to get a referral code yet.
People without a bitfinex account will have to dump their BTG on a dodgier exchange like yobit.

Why is this? Any idea? Someone else said it was because of the Ddos thing but that seems rather extreme.
This explanation citing "due to extraordinary demand" appears when you try to register. They say registrations will start again by by January 15th, 2018 at the latest.
Thank you for your interest in opening a Bitfinex account. However, due to extraordinary demand, new account creation has been temporarily paused.
Bitfinex focuses on serving professional traders. The reason we have decided to temporarily stop accepting new accounts is that we cannot undermine the quality of our services for our existing traders by flooding the system with new, small accounts.
Please be patient while we expand infrastructure, services, and staff to meet the exponential rise in demand for new Bitfinex accounts.
This pause for new account creation is a temporary measure. New account registration will resume by January 15th, 2018 at the latest.
Thank you for your patience and understanding,
Bitfinex Management

Welp, my ledger is stuck. Initiated it, transferred a small amount, wiped it and restored just to make sure that part worked. Aaaand it's stuck. Only displays the setting option and won't let me click on to bitcoin. Opening the wallet app does nothing, resetting it again does nothing. This does not inspire confidence.
On the other hand, my trezor seems to be working just fine.
Good to know. I have gotten a Ledger recently but have not tested it out. Restoring from seed always makes me sweat.
I may receive mine someday, if my BTC payment ever gets confirmed. What's the required sat/B these days anyway?
Way too high.
Ya I got that. Maybe I have not been paying attention, but >500 sat/B seemed exorbitant. It's been a hour. At what point does bitpay say fuck you, you no get toys?
According to the bitcoinfees site you need to pay 860 satoshis/byte for fast transactions. It says a 500 sat/byte fee transaction could take between 30 to 840 minutes to confirm.
https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 860 satoshis/byte, shown in green at the top.
For the median transaction size of 226 bytes, this results in a fee of 194,360 satoshis.

He says it's only temporary because someone used bots to spam report his tweets.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/7vv1gc/after_failing_to_spam_my_twitter_with_400000_fake/This is Bitfinexed.
My Twitter account is currently suspended, earlier I had about 20 tweets that were considered 'private' despite the fact that it's all public information (and some stuff that even the NY times has along with bloomberg, yeah so private), so they've been using bots to mass report my tweets.
If anyone has some sort of direct contact with Twitter that'd be handy. Likely just temporary.
Some people just don't like their scams being exposed.

It's because I'm a bad trader and I KNOW I'M A BAD TRADER. Yeah you good traders can spot the highs and the lows pit pat piffy wing wong wang just like that and make a millino bucks sure no problem bro. Likewise the weak hands are like OH NO IT'S GOING DOWN I'M GONNA SELL he he he and then they're like OH GOD MY ASSHOLE when the SMART traders who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING buy back in but you know what? I'm not part of that group. When the traders buy back in I'm already part of the market capital so GUESS WHO YOU'RE CHEATING day traders NOT ME~! Those taunt threads saying "OHH YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLD" YEAH NO SHIT. NO SHIT I SHOULD HAVE SOLD. I SHOULD HAVE SOLD MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY SELL AND BOUGHT MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY BUY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NOT EVERYBODY IS AS COOL AS YOU. You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob. The people inbetween hold. In a zero-sum game such as this, traders can only take your money if you sell.

Minor quibble: The potential [of Bitcoin] is known. The degree to which that potential will end up being realized, and the timetable, is the unknown.
I have to disagree. We could have never imagined the uses cases the Internet brought to us in the 90's and even early 2k. Even Bitcoin can be considered an extension of the Internet.
It is therefore very hard to judge Bitcoin's potential, especially at this stage.
Bitcoin's like email in its early days. Nobody knows its potential in another 20 years (especially central bankers).

What makes you think that taking advantage of the specifically-congressionally-created special tax treatment for Puerto Rican residents is in any way 'below board'?
Perhaps because he lives in Montana.
I just assumed that coinosphere.tk was talking about reading the article with the thought that BobLB might choose to live in Puerto Rico for at least 183 days out of the year in order to take advantage of aforementioned specifically-congressionally-created special tax treatment for Puerto Rican residents. I mean, as long as he's contemplating a move anyhoo. I know I've been thinking about it -- hard -- for over a year.
Buy a citizenship in the South Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu for about about
$280,000.
The country also has no income, inheritance, or corporate tax. It’s not even customary to tip there, according to the Vanuatu Tourism Office.
Use its passport to spend half the year in the USA, and half the year somewhere else. You don't even need to live there to retain your citizenship.

You can still buy citizenship there, but with fiat not bitcoins. The original story was you could pay with bitcoins. The clarification was you have to use fiat.

Can a series of movements be taken as a more reliable sign? As in "down to 9.8k-9.9k, up again to 12.2k and slowly climbing 100$ a day for a week"? Or some hydraulic quantitative measure (using Toxic's suggestive idea of pools that fill up)?

I've got a first gen Corsair Force F115 here that was the boot drive on my first Nehalem rig, its firmware went away about a year ago.
It is a brick.
The reviews for this Corsair drive are terrible. One of them recommends getting a samsung instead.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233160Cons: It dies alot. I've had to RMA this drive 3 times. First time it died in 5 months, second time it died in 8 months, third time it died in 4 months.
I was running newest firmware and all the SSD win7 tweaks: trim, ahci, moved temp/page files, no sleep, etc
Corsair customer support is lacking. This last time I RMA'ed my drive they sent me back a refurbished drive WITHOUT the friggin mounting bracket that was originally included, so now I have no mounting bracket and a unreliable refurbished drive... for shame corsair... for same!!
Get a samsung

Some exchanges allow dust trades, so buying one doge can result in a thousand trades from dust orders a bot put on. Any auditor looking through that will have a nightmare.

The 2014 rhyme continues , back to 6-7k now again then a slow climb to 11-12 one final time where break out fails and the long slow slide to 2-2.5k at year end can finally begin. Get this price down so we can get these gox coins at decent prices and then ride the 100k train in 2021.
I thought there were people organizing an injunction to stop the gox trustee dumping any more coins. If it's true there could be another long winded court case deciding what to do with the remaining coins. If it's long enough bitcoin could reach $100k before it's over.
Imagine how fast the price will recover if there's an announcement that a court's stopping the gox trustee from dumping the remaining coins.

If he stretches it out for a few more years he can earn another $1.4 million.

You are quite correct.
A good indicator that the bear market is still on track, is the number of posters who think the opposite and maintain faith that the price will rise.

We are repeating the same patterns from 2013/2014/2015.
Bitcoin will drop back down to 2-3k and consolidate there for a while before resuming the next major bull run, probably fluctuating between 3 and 5 grand for a while.
Eth will return to $200ish, Bitcoin Cash will drop to 300-400
This is my prediction and I don't give a damn if you think I'm a nutcase.
I can only go off what I see happening now and so far the pattern is almost the same.
Sssssjjjjj don’t call those low prices Just on patterns you think are the same as they are today
Maybe you don’t have any BTC today its No shame Just be happy with This very low prices and buy youre piece
If he's so sure about those "patterns", then bitcoin should go back up to a double top at £12k about nine months after the ATH. He should buy the cheap coins now before the prices increase. In 2014 bitcoin double topped at $600+ about nine months after the ATH.
Some people see other "patterns" that they say will lead to another ATH at $100k by the summer. I'm just hodling until at least $100k whether it takes months or years to get there.

Seems like there are big fast pushes down followed by a slow movement upwards followed by another big push down. It's that trickle upwards that shows what most of the market sentiment is. The big pushes down are either big sell offs or someone trying to make some money on a short.
A few big holders here are selling some coins to pay off their tax bills before the April deadline. Searing panic dumped his, and other traders and miners in a hurry for the money probably did likewise. That selling pressure should end soon. I'm looking forward to a good pump mid-April.
Well had to dump 10k worth of mostly LTC and BTC some....panic'd like a small child! (hey, its how I roll)...but mining is drying up and have to pay for taxes 2017

Even after deleting your account facebook admits it still retains some data, but claims it "disassociates it from your personal identifiers". However if you don't delete your account it will retain all your data for certain. Also, the amount of gov pressure facebook is under might eventually force it to delete any data remaining from deleted accounts.

A bit late, but maybe useful for a next time: the Stellar airdrop worked fine with a fake Facebook account. You could even register one through Tor (facebookcorewwwi.onion) and claim Stellar.
I wouldn't have believed it would let you register through tor unless you had told me. Is that an official facebook feature?

Let's just say he's very good at earning money for himself. But indeed, he's not on my crypto-trust-list.

He sold his stake in Gox when they went bust to some company for $1 iirc.
Arstechnica claims he retains a 12% stake in gox. Karpleles took all the flak and did all the hard work while he raked in 12%. If Karpeles gets a payout from the bankruptcy I expect McCaleb will get his 12%.
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/original-mt-gox-founder-i-lost-around-50000-in-sites-collapse/McCaleb said that he is no longer involved with the company—which eventually became the world’s largest Bitcoin exchange—since he sold it to Mark Karpeles. Karpeles is now at the center of the Tokyo-based company’s breakdown and bankruptcy and has said little about how Mt. Gox collapsed.
McCaleb does, however, retain a 12 percent stake in the company, according to a
company document leaked earlier this yearMcCaleb kept quiet about his stake, but this leaked gox document revealed it.

For those of you comparing gold to bitcoin, don’t.
The gold price is suppressed because gold is too easy to mine with modern mining techniques. Gold has a supply problem, there is too much of it. We have mined far more gold since 1950 than we have in all of history, and that has flooded the market.
The best estimates currently available suggest that around 190,040 tonnes of gold has been mined throughout history, of which around two-thirds has been mined since 1950.
Source: https://www.gold.org/about-gold/gold-supply/gold-mining/how-much-gold-has-been-mined
Further there are too many planned mine expansions. A single planned mine expansion in Australia (BHP Olympic Dam) would yield 15,000 tonnes of gold and 90,000 tonnes of silver. That’s almost 10% of historical global supply from a single mine. No market can absorb that type of new supply without collapsing the price.
So ignore the 4th dimension conspiracy bullshit, because the author doesn’t know how supply and demand works in the gold market.
Bitcoin is scarce. Gold is as common as dirt.
Not to mention the very real threat of synthetic gold becoming dirt cheap with breakthroughs in either the synthetic process itself or energy (nuclear fusion), or future asteroid mining. I wouldn't bet on metals for the next decades as a safe haven.
I'm not sure why people all go to nucleosynthesis and asteroid mining when presenting these arguments. The gold industry hasn't even made it economically feasible to do deep sea mining or just digging deeper. We haven't even pecked the surface of our own planet. I would imagine going down deeper into the crust and maybe even starting to go into the mantle would be way cheaper than flying back and forth to some asteroid.
Aluminium used to cost more than gold, then someone figured out how to produce it electrolytically. An inventor can sometimes disrupt an established market like aluminium or gold.
Satoshi's invention springs to mind as another example.

I'll have to talk to Jimbo. The ATM I was looking at was looking to really squeeze me.
Go though the rates for all your nearest ATMs shown on coinatmradar until you find one that's not ripping you off.
https://coinatmradar.com/This post explains how Jimbo does it. He said in other posts that he has to shop around until he finds one with a rate he likes. Some of them have a constantly changing rate.
Did your ATM let you withdraw 2 $2.5k transactions anonymously (without ID) a few weeks ago? I assumed you must have provided ID scans to get that kind of limit allowed.
No ID required. To maintain a daily limit for the purpose of AML laws, they require a cell phone on which you can receive text messages.
To sell coins, you enter your cell number and they immediately text you a code number to enter into the ATM. This unlocks the ATM and allows you to do the transaction. After you have specified the amount of the transaction, it displays a QR code to scan with your mobile hot wallet.
It then tells you to wait for the transaction to be confirmed by the network. I always include a priority fee and it has always been included in the next block. After it has been confirmed, it texts you and tells you to return to the ATM and tap "redeem". They then text you another code number. When you enter that number it immediately starts spitting out $100 bills.
The time it takes for the whole process depends on the time it takes to confirm the TX. It has never taken me more than a half hour.
The cell phone I use is an anonymous pay-as-you-go Speakout flip-phone from a 711 store. I have several of them (all free from promotions) in case I ever need to exceed my daily limit. Because Speakout allows free texting even when the time has run out, they cost nothing and are always available.
The Android device I use for the Mycellium wallet to sweep a paper wallet and send the coins, is a cheapie Blu phone they were giving away for free for buying an air-time top-up in a holiday promotion a couple of years ago. To get Android to boot up I had to insert a SIM card but I found that a non-activated card worked just fine. The SIM card was also free in a promotion and fully anonymous. I connect to the network via free wifi from a donut shop next door. Of course the Android phone has never been connected to my home wifi nor been associated with my identity in any way.
Needless to say, I never connect to Google or Playstore. I installed Mycellium from an APK file downloaded on a Windows PC from the Mycellium website.
Buying coins is even easier. You simply tap "buy", scan the QR code for your paper wallet's public key, and start feeding in cash. No phones or devices required.
I'll never understand why people have a problem with paper wallets. They're easy to use and and offer the ultimate in security.

The fact that Vitalik called out Craig Wright makes me want to buy my first ethereums with the bcash I still have left.
If you recall, Vitalik is repeating an earlier theme of his.. from May 2016 I believe. Remember when Wright was claiming to be Satoshi, and Vitalik was one of the earliest of crypto persons to describe a fairly straight-forward process in which Wright could sign a transaction, and the fact that Wright was choosing a more convoluted method of proof had demonstrated, for Vitalik, that Wright was engaging in purposeful deception rather than really being Satoshi. I think Vitalik said it at the conference in which the announcement had been made on the same day and Gavin Andressen had been attempting to validate Wright as Satoshi.
I think this is a clip of Vitalik making that statement at that conference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qLI3VIHuKUThis reddit post is a nice write up of it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4hflr3/craig_wrights_signature_is_worthless/d2pvrst/...then Vitalik just started taking, and said he'd give his reasoning on why he thinks Craig isn't Satoshi.
He said, Craig has 2 ways to prove himself. The first, and easiest/simplest, being to just sign a unique message and post it publicly so everyone can verify it. The second would be to post some long blog post (that was arguably more complicated to understand than actually verifying some signed text) and only ask a select few to choose a message, show the signature to, and ask to verify. Vitalik then says that this fails basic signaling theory, and thus Craig is not Satoshi. Gavin twerked his head and nodded as if to say, "I see you point. Meh."
The panel session ended right there. The crowd laughed. I laughed. Vitalik laughed. The moderator laughed. The crowd laughed some more. Gavin seemed uncomfortable.

you're too late. you had to send them some bitcoin from the address you're claiming and hand over your ID and blood and even then they'd probably deny it to you. their 'offer' closed a month ago.
They added an extra grace period for claiming until 14th February, then kept all the unclaimed coins for themselves (including Satoshi's million).
To even begin claiming you had to give them an email address and a mobile phone number. After you supplied that information they wanted even more intrusive details from you.

I just checked into a hotel downtown Toronto. My plan was to hit the ATM's this afternoon, but it's too cold to capitulate on foot. Idk how the hell Jimbo does this.
Shop around to make sure you don't get ripped off by excessive fee rates. Jimbo says some operators raise sell rates and lower buy rates during dips. Others have fixed fees. He was online a few hours ago, so he might login again soon and offer some advice.
... During rallies like last Saturday, bitcoins are at a premium so they raise buy rates and lower sell rates. During panic dumps like the example I posted from last August, the operators have an excess of coins relative to their fiat supply, so they lower buy fees and raise sell fees. It also means that panickers and FOMOers pay a premium for their foolishness while cool holders get a bargain.
...
Life is good.
17% buyers fee ? -2% sellers fee ? That's outrageous !
You're getting fucked both ways !
Only buyers are getting fucked at those rates. Sellers are getting a kiss.
I wouldn't pay 17% to buy. I wouldn't pay 16.1% to sell either.
You've gotta shop around.
Here's some more of his tips.
-2 fee, they pay you ?
Any in London?
Yes, it's possible to find negative rates with operators who use dynamic pricing. Buy cheaply during panic dumps and sell cheaply during FOMO rallies.
Yes, both machines dispense cash. The Lamassu requires a cell number to receive a code number text to sell. This is not required to buy.
The General Bytes machine does not require a phone. It simply prints you a QR code to receive the coins you send and after one confirmation you scan the same QR code and it starts spitting out banknotes. Fast, simple, elegant and anonymous.
I don't know about London. UK or ON?
Look here:
https://coinatmradar.com/... Bitcoinaverage is also the base price used by the majority of BTC ATMs here in Toronto, so to me it's most representative of real-world prices.
Apparently one Toronto ATM is in a sketchy location, so Jimbo won't use it.
JIMBOOOOO!!! To the ATM, rush!!!
(buying commission must be pretty low too)
Actually, the buy fee didn't come down at all at my closest ATM.
The price didn't really dip enough for my liking anyway. Dipping to where it was just a few short days ago isn't usually enough for me to buy.
Between the high fees and the shallow dip it wasn't worth it for me.
A couple of other machines offered better fees, but one is is a sketchy location and the other is too far outside my neighborhood. The cost of a cab would have negated any buying advantage considering the limited amount of fiat cash I have in hand at the moment.
Even if I had more cash and raced over in a cab, I might have been too late anyway. The price has already come halfway back up.
If it dips further and goes below $15k, I might be tempted to reallocate some funds to buy some more. For now however, I'll just hold.

Ok motherfuckers. We are at the bottom or close to it.
Sell pressure will ease after April 17 (US tax payment day) and Bitcoin will bounce.
We may wobble a bit between here and there but I doubt we will get as low as $5k in the next 12 days.
I will watch the action carefully around that date.
I am not sure that tax selling has a lot of effect. Other forces are much larger.
There may be a bounce, but it is likely to have another driver.
I agree. First of all, I am not convinced a high percentage of American's that have profits to report from cryptocurrency, are bothering reporting it. If someone is a day trader, it's a nightmare. Second, many of those who are honest and report have already sold their coins and paid. One should pay quarterly to avoid penalties. If not quarterly, then one should pay Asap to avoid penalties. There may have been many who simply held out, hoping for a better price. However, I do not think this is a huge factor in our current bearish market.
Bob's not worried about penalties. He's putting off paying until next quarter, and paying the penalty. He's hoping bitcoin going back up in price will offset that penalty.
My accountant just got back to me. It's hell season for him, and dude is flying cross-country dealing with his larger clients.
Delaying a tax payment on $nM from one quarter to the next is negligible. 4% penalty annually (compounded daily so it works out to more than that, actually). The IRS is going to assume I owe 1/4 of $nM of the tax per quarter unless we specify otherwise (which we ultimately will, because I'm strange like that)
tl;dr: 1/4 of a 4% tax payment obligation on $nM, delayed a quarter, is a reasonable penalty in a down crypto market - assuming we don't head even lower in Q2.
Will take my chances and HODL.

That's not about me almost dying. That's me being sick. I'm still sick, and there's a good chance I got these diseases in Peru. So in summary, Peru was awful.
Was the shamanic tea that almost killed you in Peru called ayahuasca?

I'm still looking at cat food, but it's gourmet cat food.
I believe the gourmet is fit for human consumption.....
In fact I have noticed it is way cheaper to give my cat "human" (regular) tuna and shrimps than those "gourmet" stuff. Fortunately, she also seems to prefer the "human" variety instead.
Maybe some day I will be rich enough to feed myself on gourmet cat food.
You could earn between $40,000 and $120,000 per year tasting it for a living, and get the gourmet cat food for free.
http://www.menttes.com/jobs/petfoodtasterYup. A pet food taster makes a living doing exactly what you think. But in this case it's a mistake to judge a book by its cover. Pet food tasting is a legitimate industry with an entry-level salary of around $40,000 per year. The top earners make around $120,000 per year.
In Europe all pet food is fit for human consumption.
In Europe, for example, the Animal Feed Regulations of 2010 mandate that pet food ingredients must be "fit for human consumption."

Have you been to Asia?
Yes? Came back from another visit to thailand just yesterday. Been to the flips too. What about it?
There just is no continuous aging process when it comes to Asian women (at least the good looking ones). They eventually flip to "old" mode once they turn I don't know, 80 or something.
You are wrong. No other way to put it, you are just flat out wrong here.
The hordes of 30-40 year olds that look like teens to twenties would have me disagree with you on this one. They hold up better than their western counterparts when it comes to aging. At least in the more affluent countries as somebody else pointed out.
As long as they don 't start eating fastjunkshitfood... . I saw highschool children getting obese very very fast. To the point that I did not recognize them after six months... . And unfortunately, just as with all bad western habbits, the Asian people adopt these as a form of status symbols... .
Not obesity. Fat shaming is an integral part of their culture. I have seen less fat people in two years while in Japan than I see in a single day in the west (when I actually bother leaving my house).
So they fat shame their sumo wrestlers?

stop thinking small.
owning planets are where its at. i want Saturn. lots of moons to build on. plus, you know, the rings are sooo cool.
You're not thinking big enough. Pay to have a new planet custom built to your specifications. Why buy an existing old one when you can have a new one built exactly the way you want it? You would get even cooler rings than Saturn's with more moons.

.... LOOK AT THE FUCKING BOAT BEFORE YOU BUY IT. You decide if it is worth the price or not.
The multibit dev lived on a boat. After reading this post I decided to view any boat at the coldest point of the winter if I ever decide to buy one. What seems great in the summer might be shit in the winter.
MultiBit HQ is a narrowboat moored on a canal in the UK. Costs are minimized ruthlessly. It is really peaceful living on a narrowboat - plenty of time to get work done.
But this time of year it is a bit ridiculous. There is a cold snap in the UK at the moment. Overnight temp last night was -6 Celcius. The boat does have central heating but you don't run it all the time and not overnight (because of electricity and diesel use). So last night I am in my full body sleeping outfit, in a down sleeping bag, under a duvet, with a throw. Warm and toasty but it is a bit chilly cleaning your teeth in the morning when the temp in the bathroom is exactly 0 Celcius.
Like your pet cat, I always find the warmest spot on the boat so am currently typing on my laptop by the big radiator in the lounge. I am just a ball of insulation.
I will be glad when it is spring. I think that is the best time on a boat.

That is pretty wild. Explain why you have this money, because after all everyone knows it's not yours but really is someone else's loaned to you because of a specific reason.
Odd that my personal wallets never ask me questions like that. Go figure.
I'd recommend storing all wealth in something you control. Remember if you don't own your keys, you don't own bitcoins. Sounds like you own someone's fiat.
Bitfinex is now asking the same intrusive questions that bitstamp sometimes asks. They've both been hacked so I wouldn't trust them with that much personal information.

I would appreciate advice on what sort of proofs/documents did they request you to "explain where it came from". It might get handy to get them all ready in advance.
From my experience it was just screenshots of my exchange accounts. It may be different for each person though.
Most big exchanges have a series of questions they sometimes ask. Although they don't always ask them there is always the possibility they will.
These are the questions bitstamp sometimes asks.
