    I was going to add some positions for myself last night when it was 92. And I was super tired because it was really late and it was after I just put my son down to sleep after feeding again and I was groggy. I came to the computer to just look at the prices etc and I said ahhh I'll buy tomorrow LTC hasn't moved much between 92 and 100 lol.

    I originally got it to hold long term but might want to dump and wait for it to fall, but I dunno lol. I did however move my LTC out of Kraken over to GDAX because the spread was like $40.00 or so and I am tired of seeing CloudFlare more than the Kraken site.

    I'm a real life trader. But can't say I'm use to these kind of swings, and not being able to talk to traders directly. With stuff like power and gas, you can figure out who you're matching up with on the screen. With this, it's a game.

    Go for alts that have some actual presence and tangible value. Not sure which those are, so I can't really comment. I'm hoping they are ETH, LTC, NEO, and IOTA lol.

    I'd love to know which CC, Coinbase will take next on it's platform.

    That'd be a game changer. That'd make anybody whose on the hype train subscribe.

    That's the one big thing everyone speculates on. When their iOS version was one of the most downloaded apps recently you know everyone wants to ride the wave of crypto. They don't immediately realize they can buy partial coins and see the high prices of BTC, and ETH and they see LTC as the cheap alternative that could end up like BTC so they buy in.

    Coinbase is the standard because it's the fastest point of entry from a buying crypto sense.

    I'm curious, what is faster in terms of getting online in the united states putting your credit card and or bank info in there and buying one of the 3 cryptos? All the other accounts I have took time to verify and all that stuff. Binance I didn't but that's because you can't transfer any USD to it only coins. I would rather refer friends to something else if it's faster. Thanks

    if all you want to put in is less than $500.00 a week through CC, then yes, coinbase works. Gemini approved me very quickly and has lower fees and I haven't had trouble logging into their site. Coinbase is notorious for their high fees.

    Yeah I don't use coinbase personally because of those fees. I use GDAX (partner company of coinbase) for my main purchases becuase there aren't any transfer fees. Then I move them to Binance for Alts.

    I actually just signed up to Gemini to check it out today. Heard good things about it. But in an buy now instant world, coinbase has the newbs and impulse buyers covered.
