Think I'm gonna hold out till tomorrow / Monday and see if it drops to 12k. It's fallen quickly huh.

I'll create a guide for Monero its very similar to the ethereum one just a different wallet

Have a look at Electrum. Works well for me.

Huge drop recently, best time to buy....

 

[Mr Scratch]

With the news of BTU, I don't think so. Sold all @ 16.4k and made some nice sushi money. Will be on the ETH ride going forward, so long BTC.

Check the link I posted I tested all and those ones were the best I've used.

 

[Mr Scratch]

Alphabay added ETH as a payment method. Bought a **** load and in for the ride boiiiisss

 

[CTBP]

Looks like I bought at the wrong time

The big issue is the potential imminent fork from Bitcoin Classic (BTC) to Bitcoin Unlimited (BTU). Nobody seems to have any clarity on what will happen and it seems the devs and miners are warring. Best case, your BTC will split into two coins, BTC and BTU which will trade separately, but there doesn't seem to be any consensus on how this will happen, although there are warnings that this might happen at the end of this month.

So what do you guys reckon? Will this drop below $900? I might throw more money at it, it's just a matter of timing.

Can you link to an explanation why it could happen at the end of this month? From I can tell, it will still take several months before Bitcoin unlimited gathers enough hashing power before a hard fork is on the cards.

It sounds like you're trying to convince yourself about that...

Nothing specific - just a lot of conjecture on Reddit after all the major exchanges made announcements last week regarding the fork.

Now you just need to sit on it and play a longer game than you intended.

Bro, you're just torturing yourself checking the price so often. If you're primarily a buy and hold person you'll need to play the long game and not sweat these daily price movements.

If you're glued to bitcoin charts 24/7 anyway then you might as well start trading.
