Bitcoin...Cryptocurrency

[Chew]

Took me about 4 minutes to set up Coinbase on my phone. Using CC. Put some in each of the 3 currencies. Not much, but enough to have fun with and not get all suicidal.

Did you buy from coinbase, or did you use gdax?

I use coinbase solely. But tries opening a gpax acct and need a computer with a web cam for picture of myself. Dont have a web cam..any way around this?

[systemnt]

****.. so dumping the 401k and buying it at 11,8K wasnt a good idea?

[CJ776]

Can you do it mobile from a phone to verify your acct? Coinbase just takes forever and has high fees you can use GDAX to get around fees albeit they are .25% in some cases

Using GDAX will save you a lot on fees. Transfer between CB and GDAX is free.

[David DeAnda]

Which app is everyone using to manage their Coinbase account? Or am I reading this wrong? I too am having trouble with the website.

[systemnt]

coinbase has its own app

[Chew]

Coinbase app. I just made 20 bucks in less than 15 minutes. I'm pretty much Donald Trump...with real hair.

I heard that same comment at 1k, 3k, 5k, 6, ect.

I tend to agree with you, but dang it keeps growing.

[bearintex]

Finally got it take my CC but now the verifying transactions aren't showing up. FML.

no doubt, just looking for the right opportunity to jump in. 10k or above wasn't it, as that was just the result of people wanting it to get to 10k, dumping for profits and along with everyone else buying in to ride the train. It looks like its going to sustain a significant correction. I actually have my eye on another crypto that I believe has more upside potential for quick churn and burn profits.

[systemnt]

"correction" .. that another way of saying "that money you thought you had? yeh its not yours anymo.."

[Hunter Dan]

Wish I could go back in time a year and buy a ton of it, but it continues to climb.

[In-Yo-Grill]

Ok...I'm gonna expose my lack of knowledge but here goes....

How can there be an influx of bitcoin on GDAX but the price goes down? Are people just moving their bitcoin into the market and not buying or selling?

[David DeAnda]

Got the app and set up the account. When I try to buy bitcoin, I get constant error 404 messages...

App seems super buggy.

[Stevo96]

I got the app, created an account, but I can't even log in now. 502 error messages

[Chew]

Do y'all with error messages happen to be using iphone? I'm on an android with flawless app. My coworker is getting same messages with iphone. Just curious if that's it. This is the coinbase app.

[bearintex]

Farking frustrating is what Coinbase is. You'd think it was a .gov website as poor as it is working.

[Throwin' Darts]

Down $2,222 off its high today. Ouch.

Too high too fast...It's back on it's way up though.

Coinbase and GDAX are really struggling to keep up right now. It's at it's highest volume I've seen in a few weeks.

[Sunnylab]

so if you buy bitcoin on coinbase, it takes several days for the funds to transfer...are you locked in to buying at the price you made the order?? or will it adjust to market rate once your funds are available??

[CJ776]

missed my 8,500 bottom...

I read that BTC in Zimbabwe got above 17K today. Yikes!!

[David DeAnda]

Finally got a couple of small transactions completed, but my wallet still shows a zero balance. Hopefully that will work its self out later.

[JANSLEY817]

anyone else having issues getting a debit card set up on coinbase?

[David DeAnda]

I am 100% rookie at investing or buying and selling. But, this looks like it can be fun never the less.

Anyone have any other sites or ways to buy and sell that seem just as easy as this whole bitcoin process. I'm not talking about the making money part, just ease of getting started and overall use.

[systemnt]

there is no market open or close on this either...is there.. this is 24/7

Ive been sitting in 100% cash in my cyprto accounts for the past two weeks. Im not playing when these huge run ups happen. You never know how high or how low they will drop. Once they normalize at some level I will start trading again.

[AgHntr10]

What about Ripple? Where can I buy into it right now?

Robinhood app. Buy/Sell stocks

[fulmer34]

did y'all link to your bank account or use CC, on coinbase account? which is better?

[tps7742]

I heard a long time ago, "when the average Joe starts talking about a certain investment topic be very cautious."

Yes sir. I go about 90% out of the stock market at the end of 1999-beginning 2000 because of exactly this. My yard guy started talking to me about the stocks he was wanting to buy and what I thought about them.

[jer_james]

got mine set up - nothing serious, but just got it, so didnt lose today.
