Bitcoin Blog Awakens After FIVE Years

 New all-time highs warrant a revival and update - don't you think? So, here we go. My holdings are now this: BTC, XRP, DOGE, SOL, and SUI. Yes, I caught all the runs of Doge, Sol and Sui. - just sold some (1/2) of my SOL and SUI - will wait to see if there is a pullback to buy back in upon. 

My DOGE cost is 15 cents - even at 40 cents - it's a firm hold or accumulate. I believe Musk will use the blockchain for government efficiency and somehow it may involve the D.O.G.E. coin. It's previous run up to 70 cents might be in the cards in the near future,  if not more. 

I'm still a buyer of XRP and am one of those folks who think the sky is still the limit on this coin. BTC, compared to the other coins probably doesn't have as much potential for a multiplier and if so, the others will equal it IMO. That said, I hold more value in BTC currently than any other coin. 

I hold about 20% cash in my crypto account currently. A bit more than normal currently. 

So, thanks for checking out the revival of Bitcoin Trader - read some history in the posts below - click on some links/ads - stay awhile. I own the website obtainingbitcoin.com - it needs an upgrade and overhaul - anyone up to it?

Water Purifiers And TVs Are Earning China Consumers Crypto Tokens!

Using the internet of things (IOT) and user data supplied back to the manufacturer - consumers in China can earn tokens on their own usage data. It's not widespread but seems to be only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. It's a short read.

Blockchain Water Purifier

===================================================

I've seen reports lately that the staff has been allowed by the police back into the Cryptopia exchange... which had been hacked...and subsequently closed for about a month now... read here about the first Cryptopia Users Demanding Refunds ...and..nothing is certain... always be careful where your funds are as low volume exchanges and coins are vulnerable.

So...how much do you know about the legendary developer of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto? Here's a longer essay covering some of the very people who have been stated to be him. Is it Craig Wright? Or someone else? It's time for the real Satoshi To Stand Up. It's like the old 1960's show To Tell The Truth.

Trading Update

Still holding PolyMath...in fact...I bought a bit more on Valentines Day at .00002404

2019-02-14 07:06:57 Buy 0.00002404 422.17595674 0.01014911

Remember on 2-3-2019 I bought about .02btc worth at .00002741

It's selling for .00002494 this morning. Still down...but this low volume coin is DUE. Remember, you can see the PolyMath Webpage on Page Two of this website, or simply page down the page to a previous posting. Below is their positioning statement - yes..big time stuff when actualized.

"Polymath enables trillions of dollars of securities to migrate to the blockchain."

-------

You may have noticed that Poloniex has added a new coin called GRIN - and I indeed, after going to the GRIN Webpage, decided that I'd swap my 8 or so Factom for some 10 GRIN. The coin has a unique positioning...no specific developers... a worldwide joint effort... no premine....the mimblewimble blockchain - and Polo intends to REFUND part of the transactions fees for this coin for its development.... worth checking out when priced at under 5 dollars a coin and with ONLY @ UNDER 3 MILLION COINS ONLY. This one might, long term, leave a GRIN on your face. Easy to say and remember too.

----------------------------

YES... I sold again for a profit the METAL coin over at Bittrex hope you too are following it getting HOT.... payment service companies are well positioned IMO...and yes...I ponied up again after yesterdays burst in volume and price.

Tron's Historic First Airdrop - Now Until..... 2025

Will it be a game changer? Will it be a de-stabilizer? Will folks hold for each airdrop or rotate in and out? Lots to be answered... find out more. Tron's Bittorrent Airdrop. Here's an excerpt
This dynamic, however, could play out each month. Such movements to and from TRX will make for an interesting ongoing experiment.With its long airdrop plan for BTT, Sun’s Tron has positioned TRX as the proverbial gift that keeps on giving.The total monthly airdrop will increase five times over the next few years, ending at 1,402,500,000 BTT per month in February 2025.
The quick analysis is that folks did rotate out this time a few days BEFORE.... riding the previous runup back to perhaps a buy point.
==============================================

So...it turns out that some analysts are thinking the "stable" price of Bitcoin...may be about to lure Wall Street Back. Might the crypto winter actually end?

Trading Update

Bought Factom-Coin at .00174000 on the 3rd...holding with no sell point...at .001760000 this AM.... been in the same range.

Also on the 3rd I bought Polymath-Coin at .00002740 - it's at .00002620 this AM (did trade at 2386-2850 since the 3rd) - my sell is around 3350. Has the bottom been found?

Meanwhile...over at Bittrex

On the 4th I bought a coin called METAL - as you can see below

(so...I bought in at 8300, its at 8,100 this AM)
As always...I suggest researching any coin you invest in as I did.. 
METAL COIN WEBPAGE
Since I bought...its been as low as .00007100 and as high as .00009100 --- so..I could have sold at a 10% up yesterday...probably should have and rebought. But...my sells are all over 10000.

Will NEM - New Economy Movement - Fall To "Crypto Winter"?

Within the past 10 days it's become evident that even the some of the "strongest" Crypto could end up in trouble as far as staying in business. After the ETC attack/deep blockchain reorganization a couple weeks ago - the whole market is edgy - and this NEM news was not helpful. That said... admitting to the real problem and attempting to "re-organize" by laying off employees and focusing on what's productive...should give investors some faith.

NEM Office

Consequently....the Crypto Coin value plunged from 1500 satorshis to under 1200 as of this AM - You can read more about what NEM is doing to adjust to the frigid Crypto Winter in this Coin Desk read.

(brought on Poloniex) 

Factom had that recent run to 500,000 satoshis and seems to be bouncing off a support level around 165-175,000 satoshis. Factom is real crypto - I'd certainly like to see at least a 10% move on this before turning, OR catch another run.

LivePeer sold for about 8 bucks at its introduction...still 4.83 - here's their LivePeer Webpage.

Since LivePeer seems to not be returning to previous levels and is now in the 0.00140000 range.... I will await lower levels again.

I am now in another coin on Poloniex - that perhaps you should check out... POLYMATH - A Coin With Big Positionings in the Trillion dollar security market.

And...finally...the REDD hasn't worked out and I sold at a loss...big things seem to be eminent over at Reddit Coin...keep a lookout.

SHOCKING - Faulty Airdrop Results In 50.00 Bitcoin

I remember when Cryptsy was going belly up that during one dump trying to get bitcoin out it sold for 90.00 (2015 I think) - but... this plunge is truly epic - and all caused by a Accidental Bitcoin Airdrop at a South Korean crypto exchange. Makes one wonder what would happen if the 1 million Satoshi wallet ever opens.

Here's WHY Bitcoin Is The "Currency" If Nukes Ever Go Off

2018 Oh What A Year In CryptoCurrencies

Not many Bitcoin blogs have been around to have had this same title in 2015 - seems every year is a "oh what a year" - but... 2018 was a doozy. From highs near 20,000 back in the heady days of Dec. 2017 and still holding up high early in 2018 - to the crashing of ALL alternative coins and Bitcoin. Many folks who got in as Bitcoin was increasing daily back in late 2017 - lost nearly all their starting capital.... as Bitcoin went out of favor and the bubble...for now...burst. Will it test its 3000 dollar level again? 

Also, the recent 51% attack on ETH classic - shows the increasing vulnerability of CryptoCurrencies - as it and many others have seen double spends and more. People not in the crypto space are reluctant to move into the blockchain as an investment vehicle and consequently nearly all trading volumes are way way way down. One ETF proposal after another was denied in 2018...but more are coming....and Bitcoin Futures entered the scene in 2018.... seemingly forcing the price down with more and more shorts.

Meanwhile in 2018 - CHINA was big big news.... cracking down on nearly all crypto...from exchanges to miners...other major markets such as India also showed no movement...while a few other countries saw the blockchain and crypto as the coming revolution. Speaking of which...in some countries with huge inflation if not revolution...Bitcoin made a presence of itself....as have Stable value coins in 2018 - and the first state sponsored coins. Ripple also passed ETH in marketcap but the battle is close...Ripple forms the all important bank connections and the IMF looks to crypto to provide possible funding to 3rd world countries and provide a means to determine who is creditworthy in nations without banking for the people.

So...it's all about change...and what's new about that.... nothing at all. So...adapt... be informed and be ready to act. The lower volumes and beaten down market are very responsive to real business news and the pump and dump have returned also to a degree. There is BTC to be made...even fiat. Keep the faith. I do intend to re-start this blog and post what I consider to be important crypto links and mix that up with sharing some of my trades in Crypto... looking forward to 2019.

Here's some recent pertinent links:

Why The Ethereum Classic Hack Is Not Good News For Crypto - call it a reorganized chain or hack...something bad is lurking for many smaller alts for sure.

Has The Bitcoin Price Become Price Bound?  - this analyst calls the price to be 3,000 to 5,000 for months.

2015 Oh What A Year In CryptoCurrencies

I will probably be changing up the `targeting' of this website soon if not later today to DEemphasize the `trade page' and to talk more if not much more about actual trading of cryptocurrencies... since I'm now a year into doing so.... and have learned much in just the last six months since the last post here.

First, the number of crypto exchanges that I currently really trade upon is down to ONE - Poloniex. It's unfortunate as for most of the year Cryptsy was probably my real favorite and Bittrex wasn't far behind... but as the year wore on and especially after Ethereum hit the market - the trends were very clear... the exchange to be on was Poloniex. 

Indeed, as the year was ending... communication from the administration of some exchanges seemed to crawl to a halt which eventually lead to a run on the exchanges with folks willing to exchange value for simply getting coins out. (Cryptsy) - All that said, I don't know if anyone has been anything more than delayed in getting their value. However, now the fear of having all the eggs in one basket is present.

Overall I've done well to quite well IMO - more than doubling my trading BTC value over the year (but taking some of the `profit' and buying into other crypto things)... so I'v ended up the year having small amounts of BTC value (under .1 at each exchange) at Bittrex and Cryptsy and about (as of this AM) .52 BTC that I'm trading on Poloniex. I will try in 2016 to bring to you more of my trading strategy at Poloniex..... where the volume is high enough on many coins to be fully trade-able with some patience.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2016 Beginning Trade Positions

First... remember that this trading of crypto began as purely penny ante stuff... and to many it remains it. But these days at Poloniex I am maintaining an ETH balance (Ethereum) as I don't want to be caught short IF and WHEN the price potentially escalates ... being possibly the only coin with more developers NOT directly with the ETH team.... supposedly upwards of 100 applications and projects in infant stage...etc.

I also am of most recent been trading Game Credits coin... catching most of it's recent rise fortunately and increase in volume... it's the only active trade I have going other than BUY orders set after a compelling drop from today's levels on several other coins including Lumens and Ripple (ETH and FAC too). And while it's taken some period of time - it's obviously important to stress to newbies the direct inverse  relationship of nearly all coins to the fiat price of BTC - and the need to keep a portion of your BTC dry for particualar coin free fall drops - which happen on nearly all coins at some interval.

Patience.

==============================

Don't forget to see my main Bitcoin Blog which is ranked in the top 4 million worldwide.

=====================================

Have a great 2016!

Litecoins Amazing Move... While Bitcoin Grinds Towards 300

Today I own more Litecoin than ever before as it continues to surge in value... about 10 of them... and proudly only 2 bought over the 5.00 mark.... is this the long awaited moves by Bitcoin and the best alternatives? Who if anyone is behind the 100 million dollar `pump' in Litecoin....IF that is what it is. This being the beginnings of a possible time of financial crisis in China.... and Bitcoins name  even being used as a throwaway in a CNBC storyline about a possible direction for Greece to go? The politics of money.
===============================================

Talking Exchanges

My current BTC value at Cryptsy has hit a current high at .81 BTC and Bittrex has recovered a bit after I finally unloaded my Navajo at a brief upspike this week... up to .30BTC and Poloniex is standing at about .20BTC after being at .24BTC a week or two before. Nonetheless... the Crypto under control is about 1.31 BTC as of now. That does not include a little over a BTC at Coinbase.

----------

As most traders know... all exchanges are different and offer different attributes... but WHAT happened to the `history' data at Bittrex....??????    It seems gone..... and makes me less likely to continue trading there...

Buying `Scarcity' In A Crypto Currency World

There's a bit of humor in saying that `virtual' items/currencies - can be in abundance or `scarcity' - but as one knows.... scarcity as an attribute is one of the drivers of `value' in our fiat world. And, one of the outcomes of my recent analysis that I did at Bitcoin - The Barf The Stew The Winners - where I conducted an analysis of Cryptos by `numbers available' - segmenting 543 coins into 10 segments of like numbered coins, is that I've changed my investments to a degree... to own that scarcity.

As you might assume and I do hope that you read the link - coins of each category had some real winners in value as perceived by the public. But -- for me -- the outcome for at least now was to prompt me into KNOWING the coins better that `are fewer in number'... and that has led to a near C-Change in how I am currently `investing' in the cryptocurrencies... namely, making sure the `scarce' coins are a bigger % of investments.

NEW COINS I'VE BOUGHT

*purchase price

CRYPTSY 

8BIT - 0.00016165

BITBAR - 0.00393939

RONPAULCOIN - 0.00008794

Now, I bought others too... but I wanted to show that many low count (scarce) coins can be had for a variety of prices. Rand Paul has already accepted Bitcoin in his campaign... can you imaging if he endorsed crypto or was forced to talk about the Ron Paul Coin? It would take OFF IMO.

==========

These are some new buys I've made on Bittrex that reflect an increase in scarce coins into my portfolio.

BITTREX

ETHER - 0.0029932

GLOWSHARES - 0.00002472

---------------------------

Finally... some of the moves I've made recently at Poloniex based on buying scarcity.

CRYPTOGRAPHIC ANOMALY - 0.00003500 -

                                            0.00006300

BITCOINPLUS - 0.00052193

=====================================

Eventually, the coin market could ultimately be like the fiat coin market - less production means scarcity which means value -- don't be left out of having at least a piece of that strategy.

Whale Splashes MOVE Market - The 30 Satoshi Selldown On Cryptsy

Recently at Cryptsy... several coins were hit with MASSIVE sells orders by one holder of the coins... normally called a whale in Cryptocurrencies... those that can move markets hugely. I most recently noticed it today on the AuroraCoin -- it happened to it April 16th Link Here from 15,000 satoshi to 30 in one flash crash. I first noticed this `sell to 30 Satoshi' (from 300's) phenomena with the PotCoin .... April 21st and April 16th... each time stopping the selling at 30. I also noticed it on another coin but didn't bookmark it. 

DID SOME BIG MONEY DECIDE TO GET OUT OF CRYPTO?

In each of the Whale sells... buying in was an immediate good move. It was also an incredible payoff for those SHARKS that set low buy orders and got them filled... especially on the AuroraCoin. The opposite, of course, is also true when setting your own sell prices... occasionally a reason to own a coin is that it is frequented by the occasional whale pumpers (not all coins have them) who, IF YOU WAIT long enough, and are lucky enough.. may return for that 10x current value BUYIN - or at least a 3-4x return. Whale pods... seen and growing in crypto?

I'm sad to  report that I've withdrawn about 80% of the small trading stake I had at Bluetrade... and it's volume has been falling off the charts with NO coins having over 1BTC in trade yesterday(4/30)... too bad. I guess there might be some good prices as folks pull out and sell for dust ... but.. put those bids in carefully as you know how exchanges and money seems to vanish when trading vanishes. I split my pulled BTC from Bluetrade between Cryptsy and Poloniex.

I updated at Barfstew today.... about bitcoin Payment Gateways... gotta be able to do more than trade in the long run.

The First Mazacoin Political Donation (March 19th)

Presidential candidate Paul is taking Bitcoin as a few other politicians in the past.... (and is getting flack for the LACK of transparency of it) - yet, Payu Harris... as you can see... when I made the FIRST non Bitcoin donation, perhaps, EVER ON EARTH to a campaign - wanted to position it as BEING the open way to do business... Interesting variety of perceptions indeed.

one thing that would be a help... would be a small mzc donation...Im wanting to showcase the ability for the public to track and monitor blockchain transactions

I'd be happy to

I'll send in some

today

ok cool

just sent 22,000 MZC from Bittrex

am I the first official possible donation?

Yup...thank you you are my FIRST official Campaign supporter

100 MILLION HTML5 COIN GIVEN AS CAMPAIGN DONATION IN ATLANTA

At the Bluetrade Exchange chatbox one often finds exciting news about certain virtual coining efforts... one of those coins being the HTML5 coin. Below you can see they've cornered a Democrat running for President of the United States - for a photo op and PR session about Cryptocurrencies. The gentleman is Robby Wells... seen with Marlena (of HTML5) holding the 100 Million HTML5 `check' representing the coin political donation.

Original Photo Link On Bitcointalk

===============================================

FYI, 100 million HTML5 would be valued at about 75 LTC on most exchanges and each LTC is worth about 1.70 as of today - a hefty donation and great publicity for Crypto.

Those who are following the game closely, very closely, know that I may have made the very first Crypto donation, outside of Bitcoin, (which was involved at some level in the past) to a political campaign a few weeks ago in MazaCoin to Payu Harris - when he was organizing a run for the Mayor of Rapid City SD.

Also, in similar Presidential news, Rand Paul has in a backhanded way endorsed Crypto by suggesting that COMPANIES might be allowed to issue their own `currencies'.

So, Cryptsy is cranking up `contract mining' - and it's certainly possible many new sources of coins may be entering that market exchange IMO.... might get a bit harder to trade some coins if the price of a currency gets perceived as the cost of electricity.... or a contract that makes money.

====================================

============================================

Finally for today - what do you say we take a look at a few more of the `names' in Cryptocurrencies that might have appeal:

This is WorldCoin's Page

`think outside the banks'

they provide a WEEKLY update... rare for Cryptocurrencies

WorldCoin Is Available At Cryptsy For About 1560 Satoshi's

Here's my most recent trade in the coin at Cryptsy

2015-03-27 00:04:09 Sell 0.00001580 814.21974351 0.01286467

2015-03-18 12:18:38 Buy 0.00001417 7.00823351 0.00009931

2015-03-18 12:18:31 Buy 0.00001417 630.00000000 0.00892710

WorldCoin... real... and with potential IMO.

The coin is also associated with a `Spells Of Genesis' Game which could increase it's profile dramatically. Can't seem to find an exchange with this coin yet....

Be ready for this one when you see it!

100 Days Later - The UpdateSo

As anyone who follows the cryptocurrency space of things... it has been very active for the development of bitcoin... not all for the good... over the last 100 days... including a `crash' with a spike down to 92 dollars for a few moments in January on Cryptsy... as if to show the potential shallowness of the full marketplace... and millions of dollars and bitcoins have been lost in scams via coins and exchanges... little to be returned and massive drops of coins onto the market from these ripoffs.

But, during the volatile 100 days... I became a trader, moved into new exchanges and out again (like C-Cex) and in general DOUBLED TO TRIPLED my trading stake thanks to investments in the NavajoCoin mainly. I've also had nice trades at times with Mazacoin, Gamerholic, and others too..... such as HTML5, Leaf, and Einsteinium. 

I'm still using Bluetrade very occasionally and have about 0.128 btc there (from original .10).... but.. I made about 900 trades before slowing down... occasionally you can still get good info in the chatbox there too from developers.......My favorite exchange is Cryptsy where my original stake of .15 btc has grown to .51 btc (spiked much higher recently) -- at one time I traded 2 btc in 2 weeks... but have scaled back to about .6 btc in 2 weeks. Cryptsy is where I have my `dry' trading btc as I sold most of my Navajo position there. Mainly because Bittrex is where the thickest Navajo coin market is (much like Cryptsy has a deeper market like Mazacoin)... and it's easier to find coins to trade into on Cryptsy.

Anyway at Bittrex my initial start of 0.15 bitcoin is 0.41 bitcoin... I've sold NONE of my NavajoCoin stake there. Bittrex seems to have some good new coins too to trade....like Ribbit Rewards. Finally on Polonex... I've struggled mightly after buying into the peaks of Ripple and Stellar a few months ago but have recovered even there from a 0.10 start to 0.14btc.... Now playing the CounterParty Exchange coin.

So, as spring starts today... expect a more updated blog here... and thanks for hanging in there...

Quark And ESportsCoin Updates And Today's Pick

Hello readers.... I wanted to update the `news' about ESportCoins and the Quark Coin plus provide a glimpse into what I've been trading this weekend or setting up tradewise. First, let's look at the Esportscoin... the one with the real potential for disaster... and a bit of knowledge once again gained from simply watching the trading marketplace. 

IF you remember, I started out the last post saying it seemed like a good time to get into the ESC again.... but, while placing my bets... I mean trades.... I found via bitcointalk that the coin was likely a bogus coin.... one of the pump and dump crappola coins with ripoff as its middle name instead of Sports..... As I just said, the forum came to the above conclusion and when I saw that the coin DIDN'T HAVE A WEBSITE.... I felt a pang for the trades I had just set up..... well... Bittrexx listed ESportsCoin as one that is going to be delisted unless it's supporters average 0.2 bitcoin over the next 7 days... always like throwing fire on the fire... and sooo....

12/15/2014 09:46:33 12/15/2014 09:46:32 Sell 0.00000191

(bought at between 330 and 702)

So, I sold a little over a third of my stake at a significant loss - 

the appropriate sting for not doing any research whatsoever on the coin that I remember... just going along as everyone is going to do today..... 

BUT knowing the stupidity level is similar to my own... I then placed the rest as you see below:

12/15/2014 09:47:31 Sell 0.00000346

12/15/2014 09:48:16 Sell 0.00001346

IF everyone is stupid enough... I might just get that bet.... I meant investment... back.

Sell is currently at 301 and the buy at 209 (so, I could have gotten more by waiting until this afternoon already - but, only a bit) - that 346 sits third in line. IF the coin is to be saved even the 1346 will bet met... we will see.

===============================

---------------------------------------------------------

So, did I coax out that 5% in the Quark Trade at Cryptsy?

2014-12-12 10:35:19 Buy 0.00001235

2014-12-12 13:52:12 Sell 0.00001289

Sure did, about three hours later.

======================================

=======================================

So, what's the big trade I'm positioning for today?

I've doubled down hard on the DTC DaytraderCoin ..  coin with a big previous following that is slowing in trade and an eventual blast in value.... perhaps.

Below you can see my history with this coin:

11/26/2014 20:02:49 11/26/2014 20:02:00 Buy 0.00006687

11/26/2014 20:02:57 11/26/2014 20:02:57 Buy 0.00006737

11/26/2014 20:13:42 11/26/2014 20:05:20 Sell 0.00008200

11/26/2014 23:32:18 11/26/2014 20:45:23 Sell 0.00009994

------

I then did it again buying at 6900 and selling at 8350

----------------------------------

So, I loaded up Friday evening  for one more ride

12/12/2014 20:34:38 12/12/2014 20:34:38 Buy 0.00003466

My Sells are at 5724, 6767, and 9400

3829 is the current asking
