<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Question for all you BTC whales... how do you cash out six figures?</b><br /> <br /> Asking because the only account I had setup during the run to $20k was Coinbase, and they have ridiculously low daily and weekly dollar limit.<br /> <br /> There are plenty of bullion dealers that will let me buy gold, but then I need to sell the gold to go to cash.<br /> <br /> (Logged into Coinbase, and it seems they&#039;ve eliminated the limits that were in place during the last run. But I&#039;d still like to hear about any other options you&#039;ve found, especially those with lower fees. =)</div>

In pro version all fees should be lower.</div>

Usually limit sold back into USD via their Gdax (Pro Coinbase now) and easy transfer to bank. I had to do two separate requests (back then) to raise daily withdrawl limits to current level. If you&#039;re trying to cash out $1,000,000; just do it over ten days lol. Any more than that; likely have to submit request for account review to Coinbase team, but you&#039;ll get it especially if they see the big amounts in your account.</div>

I browse TradingView ideas every once in a while and will drop by in various crypto chats to check on trader sentiment. That&#039;s about all I do.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">When it comes to Bitcoin, your investment horizon decides pretty much everything. I consider Bitcoin quite favorable within the next 10 years, while it is rather difficult to determine whether it is cheap or expensive within this year.<br /> <br /> In view of the fact that Bitcoin has always the same production rate, you can easily calculate the market capitalization. In the past few years, you could calculate the fair value of Bitcoin with an accuracy of 95 % using the stock to value ratio. This ratio also clearly showed that during the hype of 2017 Bitcoin was overvalued and that Bitcoin since summer 2018 has been undervalued.<br /> <br /> It is important to understand that the stock to value ratio has nothing to do with producer price. Bitcoin does not increase in value due to increased Bitcoin mining. The price has nothing to do with the rate of mining; quite the contrary, the higher the price of Bitcoin, the higher the rate of Bitcoin mining since it pays off more in this case.<br /> <br /> This is the difference between gold and Bitcoin. As soon as the price of gold increases, the production rate of gold increases too. Since the production rate of gold rises simultaneously, the supply and demand ratio of gold is gradually brought into equilibrium. This, however, does not apply to Bitcoin.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;ve done a ton of research and still have Nano, I think it&#039;s the best technology out there.</div>

The first time I&#039;ve taken a serious look into going into a coin.<br /> <br /> Imo; it may have a nice bull&#039;ish upward trend with a couple surges here or there over the next 6 months.<br /> <br /> If what I think I&#039;m seeing is true; there&#039;s a lot of hidden buying/accumulating in the past year supported in evidence by sneaky amounts of buy volume here and there.<br /> <br /> As for BTC; I am not sure.. My prediction from awhile ago has it going DOWN lol. Which.. if it does, usually spells bad news for Alts generally as a low tide brings all boats down. Which directly contradicts my feelings on Eth.. which means.. essentially what I am saying is that.. there &quot;may&quot; be one of those semi-rare situations where Alts fly while Btc goes down (essentially driven by people merely flipping Btc back to Alts, and not USD into Alts although that would be a stage of it later on).<br /> <br /> And that brings me back to square one... My sneaking suspicion is that semi-rare thing happens over the next 6 months. If I go into Eth; I&#039;m running nice stop-losses in case, but I think the upside makes the risk-reward ratio lean my favor.</div>

Selling is exhausted. Lower volume trend along with downward trend.<br /> <br /> 2. Small bug going around the crypto community of &quot;Ethereum is more than an Alt and should not be considered one, yet it&#039;s below Bitcoin&quot; which essentially means Ethereum deserves it&#039;s respects. The bug is very small now but I believe this belief will only grow stronger and more popular, eventually branching out away from the crypto community into retail traders and early majority in public.<br /> <br /> 3. Compared to other major Alts, ETH is in a completely different stage. ETH appears to be already accumulated (with hidden buy volumes all over the past year) and ready to print higher lows &amp; begin a slow upward trend; whereas the other Alts all appear to be just now entering into the accumulation stage.<br /> <br /> 4. Volume &amp; volatility overall is very low, with Selling exhausted, any momentum in Buys will move the needle upward easily.<br /> <br /> 5. Bounce off 50MA (blue line) from the WEEKLY candles. Appears very strong bounce with conviction thus far, <b>might retest</b> but if it stays above it, looks great for a nice upward trend over the next 6 months at least.<br /> <br /> 6. Bounce off 40 RSI has always been a good technical for me.</div>

In fact, it was this exact sentiment that drew me to the crypto markets in the first place. I&#039;ve noticed this sentiment only getting smaller as the market matures and other platforms become better adopted.</div>

It&#039;s like I sell right when the market goes irrational.

I invested $6500 in Bitcoin (actually I won it through gaming) and it smoothly increased to $10500 in a few months. Then I sold. But if I had waited another week, it would have been worth $15,000. Unreal. </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> The biggest loss in the Bitcoin world is yet to come. That&#039;s when the IRS comes in to take their fair share. Can you imagine how much tax is owed if your Bitcoin profits are in the thousands and many investors in the millions?</div>

I believe sentiment is similar to lines on a chart. In that; any one sentiment will eventually bottom out and go flat &amp; sideways with no volatility.. just like price.. (or are they one of the same &amp; a direct reflection of each other... hmm....) and the only other way it can go is up lol.<br /> <br /> For example; ETH, I think is in the &quot;forgotten&quot; stage.. it&#039;s virtually the bottom as sentiment can get on it, and the mass majority people holding are those that really believe in it&#039;s long-term utility (aka &quot;that it&#039;s not just like any other Alt&quot;).<br /> <br /> I believe this &quot;that it&#039;s not just like any other Alt&quot; is steadily about to pick itself up from the completely forgotten stage and &#039;come back to life&#039; to say.. It will however imo be quite a while before we see any 2017, but I do believe it&#039;s ready to slowly and in a very ugly way trend upwards overall from this point on out lol.<br /> <br /> When we think in terms of &quot;I wish I got into Bitcoin at $300&quot;.. I think many forget that those that did get in at $300 &amp; held had to endure years and years of holding through a very ugly version of an slow upward trend.. which is one of THE hardest things to do imo.<br /> <br /> And I believe this might be exactly one of those times for ETH.. It will only take like 3-4 years before I find out if I am anywhere near close to being remotely right lol.</div>

I&#039;m sure you&#039;ve tried everything. I feel for you man.<br /> <br /> Damn, lighting! What are the odds? :-(</div>

Your Bitcoins aren&#039;t in your computer as your mail isn&#039;t either. When you download that wallet to your machine you MUST wrote a seed aka private key (a series of words) and save it in a secure place (offline and physicall). If you don&#039;t have it, you just lose your cryptos. There are 1M Bitcoin lose, for ever, that way.</div>
