    Most are expecting the price to steadily rise, there's extremely little incentive for Wall Street to short BTC because of the low leverage.
    Check out Trav and Richard's tweets and replies, very good information.

    key insight from Trav at the end, low volume and rapid price increase may mean uber-rich third worlders (i.e. Saudi princes, Russian oligarchs) may be looking for a safe haven, and Bitcoin has suddenly become a viable use case for this scenario

    The fastest is going to be getting ETH and transferring to an exchange like Binance and buying. BTC is going to cost too much transaction wise and take a hell of a lot longer to get your money into the exchange compared to ETH.

    That's what I do.

    Keep an eye on VeChain apparently. Rebranding. Rumors of new partnerships, etc...

    Disclaimer: I just bought some VeChain

    All it takes is a little good news for an alt coin to go up 100%. I'm in.

    Looked at it myself yesterday. Looks promising- I didn't have enough to qualify for its masternode, so I didn't buy in. But maybe I should re-think that.

    Considering dumping my $IOTA... reading a lot of negative stories about their network and coding.

    Apparently you can still get rewarded if you have VeChain in MEW before DEC. 20, even if you have below 10k units.

    I mentioned this several pages ago.

    I was able to exchange some crap eventually into BNB and USDT and back to BTC but it was a joke.

    Holding .975 of a coin is worthless if you can't convert it somewhere else. Hmm. Blockchain app idea! ChangeCoin ICO coming Feb 2019

    I think CF might be cryptojacked. My cpu usage is shooting to the 90s when I browse it these days. :p

    Make it stop...this is nonsense. I was supposed to buy it 24 hours ago if GDAX just gave me my money.

    I need to jump on the next alt that's going to explode for the next day.
