BitCoin has now crested $12,000 USD.

Forget about holding your own keys.



ALL of these fucking wallets are buggy pieces of shit, that take literally days to download the chain, since they are crap.



Just find a secure exchange.

[Angry White Male]

And I have a powerful desktop, so don't even try this shit if you have some laptop...

[Angry White Male]

This shit is not without frustration.  Trust me...

[Angry White Male]

FUCK!

[Angry White Male]

Fuck me.

[Angry White Male]

FUCK!



I need to bow out, before I fucking explode.  Bad things happen when I fucking explode.



FUCK!

All is well with wallets now.  My drunken rage fueled my drive, even more, like rocket fuel fuels a jet engine.  It got things done.  All three wallets are now up to date.



Since posting this thread, I have made $8,000.

All you needed to do was save or print out your public and private keys somewhere secure. Nothing to do with powerful laptops or large dl's.



Exchanges hold your private keys. Don"t give bad advice.

As a self taught investor, I discard everything that people try to tell me.  I did the same thing in Grade School.



Everything is a Ponzi Scheme, whether you like to admit it or not.



I had a good feeling, getting in, and the returns have been awesome so far.  Do I wish I entered earlier?  I won't answer that, just as the ones that sold early also, won't answer that...



Not for the faint of heart, and NOT to Third Mortgage your house for funds for...



But a small and relatively diversified holdings of Crypto is, in my opinion, as asset to an otherwise 'normal' portfolio of holdings.

For most people this would work just fine.



I prefer to download entire blockchain.



Am I wrong?

[Angry White Male]

Downloading the entire blockchain of THREE cryptos in a short time was no easy feat.



Most people are better served by an online service like JAXX (Canadian), or the likes, if they prefer their keys without the bullshit.



I am old school.  I download the entire chain.

[Angry White Male]

And I just made another $1,000.



I wanted life to turn out differently, but I now focus on what I can do...  Investing, and operating a trucking business (albeit small), for income.

Jaxx, Coinomi, Toast et cetera are software apps or interfaces only. Wouldn't call them 'online'. Exchanges are 'online'. You're entrusting your crypto and keys to an online service and there are great risks in that.



Dl'ng the BC's of cryptos serves no purpose to a crypto holder as cryptos are distributed ledgers and you're just burning data.



And by the way, the 1k gain you get today can and will be the 1-3k or more loss you get following. It's a volatile market. Best to keep your gains and losses to yourself short term wise or people will get tired of the P&D rhetoric and tune out.

[Angry White Male]

Fuck off, Dinky.



I download chain.



You do not have to.



I make profit.  You do not have to make profit.

[Frood]

You're a bit of a newbie late comer to crypto currencies.



I wish you'd not talk so much shit and offer such bad advice about it.



You're souring the uninitiated.
