I have the majority of my bitcoin in an offline paper wallet with the public key imported to my blockchain account as a view only wallet so that I can see the current value, this is my cold storage that can never be spent.

The rest that I'm willing to spend/use are on my blockchain "hot" wallet and whatever is on the exchanges I don't worry about. Not much anyway.

I never withdrew any of the altcoins from the exchange.

If I do, will probably go directly into cold storage for holding or an online wallet for spending.

I never really had any intentions of holding the altcoins so I never sought having wallets for them. I exchange from bitcoin to altcoins for prospecting (if that's the right word), then back to bitcoin for withdrawal.

Putting all my eggs in one basket, the bitcoin basket.

It appears he is in Trinidad and buys and sells coins. Its an easy way to buy some coins, trade and cash out.
Its late now, but I will check out the link tomorrow and report back!

I ended up buying some Ripple from this guy on the 12th. Good flecking thing. Got it just before the big jump. I done message him to sell back at a 2.5+ times profit...then rinse and repeat.

I've ditched poloniex and bittrex. They have a lot of red tape and cant add new coins fast enough.
Binance has your classics as well as what I call 2.0 crypto. Plus their fees are cheaper. Bittrex charges 0.001 btc for a withdrawal, binance charges 0.0005

I use the blockchain wallet too outside of TT
I told friends about it but when they tried to get it from the playstore it says TT not supported.
What's that about?

No idea, I signed up on the website first, then downloaded the app when I found out about it's existence, then backed up the app to my server so I never go back to Google unless to update.(I change phones often)

Never had any trouble.

Don't understand, so can't explain why they're having problems.

Then I never used my address on either blockchain or Google, and I doubt there's any ip address zoning taking place because I would definitely have the same problem.

If they're using iPhones and Apple store maybe the issue lies there.

question. if i want to start selling goods locally for cryptocurrency, which coin/payment system would be best? I'd rather not sell for tt dollars, since tt dollars will devalue

Bitcoin is by far the only mainstream crypto in use.
All them other altcoins are speculation

lol. so what makes bitcoin "not-speculation"

pugboy · Postby **pugboy** » December 16th, 2017, 8:31 pm

They all currently being viewed as "investments" hence speculation
however bitcoin was intended for use a general currency from day one and it was/is in use

unfrotunately the hype means people are buying to hold similar to gold.
this is somewhat contrary to being used as a full alternative to fiat money.

But when the system finally does fail, it will be used as intended.

I have to differ with you there partner
Coins like ethereum, litecoin and dash have gone the same places as bitcoin in terms of adoption, if not further than it.

Ethereum is significantly undervalued to anyone that's knows its capabilities.
Litecoin, dash and add to that bitcoin cash can all be used for payment processing. It's not practical to use bitcoin core for that because it is slower and more expensive than back when it was created.

Ebay is now considering crypto as a form of payment. My thoughts are they will use bitcoin cash. Just my views anyway, respect.

pugboy · Postby **pugboy** » December 16th, 2017, 9:11 pm

only time will tell
ether has improvements over btc
but a lot of times the one with the most momentum usually gains critical mass compared to the others
even if technically not as good.

The exchange was in person. Met in public. He paid cash, but says that he prefers direct bank transfers for large amounts. Came with his own mobile access point to facilitate the transaction.

Nothing much else to say but real professional and polite guy. Sounds extremely knowledgeable about the markets, trends, regulations, and investments in general.

Came on time, transaction was over quickly.

Received the cash as soon as the transaction was completed on my phone, but the time we sat around taking one confirmation was received.

No compliants, just great.

Blockchain.info for online bitcoin and ethereum wallets.

Did he buy from you at market value, give you a little profit, or did he 'take a little off the top' for transactional expenses?
If so, how much was it?

Don't get bamboozled, man go take your crypto and sell it for rape prices on international exchanges after.

I sold my bitcoin to him. I got 95% of the market value at the time of the transaction.
