I had a random dream that STEEM was at $10 next week! 

Have good risk management.
For instance, I use Blockfolio to track my investments and when I hit the target I take 10% of profit and transfer to my personal Bitcoin "savings" in another wallet. The remaining goes into other trades but I make sure to pay myself.
After my savings reaches a certain amount I transfer some to Coinbase and sell into USD just in case Bitcoin takes a wild swing down I can buy the dip. I also keep some Bitcoin savings in Coinbase.
Y'all got to prepare for the worst. Even if your coins aren't on exchanges how are you going to cash out when its a market panic and everyone is trying to cash out at the same time?
You think transaction speeds are bad now wait until a market panic.
You want to make sure you can execute a sell order to USD as fast as possible. Transferring from wallets to Coinbase during a sell off is costing you thousands per second.
I was going to buy in last night but it's so reminiscent of Reddcoin and BAT that I backed off, guess it can't hurt to hedge my betI had a random dream that STEEM was at $10 next week!![]()
Thinking about dumping siacoin for Eth. I don't have any Eth in my holdings. Thoughts?
I can see it doubling or more in the next 2 months. It's getting more hype than XRP and digi combinedAt this point you HAVE to have some ETH. I was salty I had to buy in when it was expensive and I've already made profit. Shit outside of XRP and BTC it's making me the most money.
It will be $1000 someday.

Peace family,
I know we're all making money and making moves but remember this is still a Game and you don't win until the cash is in your hands.
Worrying about taxes and fees on crazy amounts of money that hasn't been realized is silly.
The Bitcoin scaling issue could have serious ramifications on the entire market because if there is a problem EVERYTHING suffers.
Ethereum and every alt will tank if Bitcoin suffers. It is the proof of work for every coin.
Be smart and at very least sell off a decent amount into Coinbase USD wallet. Coinbase doesn't report your holdings to the government just like every other bank. If you need time to think of an exit strategy you can do that.
Be smart and get this money!
Peace. Good points, no argument except for one. Help me understand. You think it's silly to keep accurate records for tax purposes? I've made a nice chunk of change, and plan to keep stacking. You don't think it is wise to report on my year end taxes?
I'm not being a dick. I'm trying to learn.

And I'll just add to your question. All of these places have your SS#. Won't they send you some forms come tax season
No problem fam, no its far from silly to keep good records!
What I'm saying is cats are worried about fees and taxes on money they haven't earned yet.
Put it like this, let's say Bitcoin and the entire market crashed yesterday and your entire portfolio lost 50% in a day. Now you'd be kickin yourself in the ass because whatever amount you did save you STILL have to pay taxes on.
And yes you're going to have to pay taxes on your Bitcoin profits one way or another because even the technological challenged IRS can find you, all they need is your Coinbase / Krakken transaction history.
Oh before I go any further, for an example of how easy this is to link those accounts to you, yall go here...
https://blockchain.info/
And under Search enter your Bitcoin deposit address on your exchange of choice and have fun.
It will list EVERY transaction that this address has made a long with the full amount in Bitcoin that was transferred. Oh it will also show how much is currently sitting in that wallet.
So lets say you don't report your Bitcoin profits, they wont find out now..... But soon enough Congress will pass a law that requires Coinbase and any other fiat exchange to issue a 1099 whenever a new account is opened.
Right now there is no requirement to do so, but when they do it will be punitive for those who never reported. This is UBS all over again.
I'll believe the dude who interned at the IRSNo problem fam, no its far from silly to keep good records!

What if you've been working with bitstamp. I haven't done many transactions with Coinbase less than 5. Will they still send the form?W2s are for wage earners, Coinbase will issue a 1099-K to the IRS if your account receives 200+ transactions and the total value of those transactions is over $20k.
Right now most of us haven't hit 200+ inbound transactions but if you do watch the value.

I see your point but let me say this. Its not a simple matter of "cats are worried about fees and taxes on money they haven't earned yet." I was pointing out that there is a glitch in the system that all of us will have to deal with sooner or later. We all were here when ripple was at .005. No one but each individual knows what they have now vs back in January, and all of us probably have an amount we intend to pull out when the time comes
I agree that what your talking about is a more pressing issue for the present, but what I was discussing was the fact that some of these sites need for the individual to have 250k in their acct, and 1million in assets before you are able to withdraw large amounts. I have no issue paying the IRS, but getting killed by doing 100 mini withdraws is costly as well.
If its something that most don't think is relevant now, cool. But its just information sharing for when that time comes. I have seen a lot during this thread for the past 5 months, but one thing I didn't see, or maybe missed, is an actual realistic exit strategy for when our investment is lucrative.
Anyway like I said before it will get dealt with, just bringing up a point because there might be some peeps on hear who are actually ready to pull a large amount and I'm curious to learn the process.
Yeah the tiered withdrawal structure sucks and it is also game theory to keep the exchanges solvent.
If there were no withdrawal limits they wouldn't have enough liquidity and assets not in cold storage to handle 60k people pulling all their money out at once.
I understand the pain now having to withdraw $7k a day from Polo but thankfully I pulled my largest investments off Polo before they shot up in value.
You asked about an exit strategy, well mine would be to only keep total assets under $20k on an exchange at a time.
If you have large amounts of Bitcoin on an exchange start moving them to wallets slowly.
If your hold coins are off exchanges and you want to sell them off, have a Polo, Bittrex, Krakken account ready and send the max withdrawal per day per exchange and sell off that way.
Digibyte is kinda cookin right now. Maybe some good news in regards to that Citi competition?
Just ordered my 6 GPU's. One in hand and 5 coming from Cali next week. Check this article out though.. what do you make of it..?I've invested about $2,000 and pulled out $4,000. still got over $30k in. Mining about to give me a nice monthly return though.
I had a dream XVG hit $1 and I casually walked over to my boss's desk then pulled my dick out and lay it on her shoulder while saying," G'head sue me, I got it."I had a random dream that STEEM was at $10 next week!![]()
