It does work well for small transactions, not for getting rich. It is not a coincidence that we see all of these advertisements for bitcoin, litecoin etc here. If you could buy a Rolex for bitcoin from a dealer, that dealer would be stuck with funds that could not readily be exchanged or used as it is now. This might change, but we are not there yet. |

Interesting thread to go through.
It seems that there were a couple of vocal "newish" members to TRF strongly advocating cryptocurrencies. I do wonder how value was and is being created? There seems to be no securitization of the coins value, acceptance is low and cashing out remains questionable. I no nobody who has cashed out on their positions, or a part of their positions. Money is being made for sure, but this is based on a market that matches supply and demand with no value creation. But, hey, people enjoy taking a punt and if you get in early, and demand is strong, you will make money on the train of ICOs upcoming. |

My ex-wife. Absolutely cryptic. She says she spends "about fifty" but that can mean anything up to $89.50 ... And "seventy-five or eighty" runs over $125 billed.
Absolutely cryptic. |

Its actually not hard to monetize or trade around all the large cap currencies, pretty standard through any of the major crypto exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken etc) --- no different than E-trade.

For me, I cash in and our through coinbase/gdax. You can wire funds in, or do an ACH from your bank account.
For the larger currencies they are easily bought and sold on both coinbase and gdax. Gdax has lower fees per trade. For the smaller currency, I send Bitcoin to Bittrex and buy them there. In order to cash out of those, they need to be sold on Bittrex and then sent back to Coinbase in the form of BTC or ETH. Does that make sense? JPS

Same as above.
I have bitcoin, ethereum, and litecoin in my wallets on coinbase. All the random others ones on bittrex. Trade random ones back for bitcoin on bittrex, transfer to coinbase, cash out.

Well, back in June, when BTC was ~$2600, ETH was ~$350, and LTC was ~$30, I put all of my eggs into ETH. Guess I made the wrong damn decision
BTC now at $4800, ETH at $394, and LTC at $77. Insane. |

Diversity is key and Bitcoin is King. Start using some of your ethereum on ICO's that look promising. Those will be big money in the future. Quote:

But there used to be caps on transferring funds to a bank account? They are still in place? When I looked into it there was a daily and weekly cap which made it a lot harder to sell and transfer.

These basically go away as you trade larger amounts and are a member for a longer period of time

First post here on TRF. Be careful with cryptocurrencies, block chain is interesting. However the reason it's crushing is because new investors see that it's hot and are investing in it. Since it's value isn't a true representation of anything physical or an actual corporate equity, the value could crash in a sell off. Stocks are valued based on the speculation of profits by companies. The value of national currencies are somewhat based on the speculation of the GDP among other factors. The value of cryptocurrencies from my understanding are based on the amount of cash flowing in from people investing in it. I personally would make short flips on these and use the profits to invest in more solid assets. The important lesson here is to recognize all investments have seasons, a spring, summer, fall, and winter. Ideally you want to recognize a trend early when it's in the spring season, ride it up through the summer and then profit in the fall. Then once you have profited, work to recognize the next trend and find another investment in the spring season. Perpetuating this idea is the key to financial freedom.

I can send someone 100K in BTC anywhere in the world and they will have it within 5 minutes worst case scenario. After 6 confirmations, that worst case scenario 1 hour later money is theirs. I worked in the banking industry for over 20years. They are still useless in transfers to other countries etc. Takes days to send from Australia to the USA. It shouldnt be that difficult! |

I am really really excited about what has been happening in NEO.
I have been a long time holder and I feel like it's about to become a really fun ride!

I'm going to be cashing out most of my positions in the upcoming months to purchase my first home. Being in my early 20s and living in Los Angeles where the prices of homes are stupid high, it didn't seem like something that was going to happen anytime soon.
Just want to say to the people who just started learning about cryptocurrency to stick with your gut and take the risk. There are going to be many people who hear what you are doing and call it a scam or laugh because they "know" it's going to crash. Let those people keep thinking what they want. |

BTW - Gates is talking about the idea of bit coin better than physical currency, no where does he mention that investing in it at the levels BC trades at makes sense. |

As an investor, majority of my investments have been made on companies that I see with promising tech. If you read what Bill Gates has to say, he does not talk about Bitcoin as an investment. Rather, he speaks about Bitcoin because of the Blockchain technology behind it. I really suggest you read a little more than the 1 sentence that Buffet makes about Bitcoin and learn a little behind the technology that runs these coins. |
