Bitcoin breaks $15,000

lol watch how many people will get bankrupt in the very near future.

Why is that? Don't be quoting **** you see on the news, do your own research and you'll know why even Russia are utilising blockchain. Your fiat currency will continue to depreciate whilst blockchain is still in its early stages will rise exponentially.

First of all I am not quoting **** I've seen in the news. I'm using common sense with some knowledge about investing.

How good is your knowledge on investing? There are plenty (and I mean plenty) of examples of near similar occurrences like this in the past where large spikes/large increases have happened and people make the deadly mistake of thinking "Oh it's doing so well right now I'm gonna do this for another year or two" and then sell.

Bitcoin is very similar to stocks in that it's highly unpredictable. Seriously just wait, it won't be long till we are hearing people have gone bankrupt from Bitcoin it's bound to happen so actually if you were smart this is the time you should be keeping whatever gains you have made and pull out/reinvest in something else but hey what do I know...

Like to see you put your money where your mouth is and short it then.

I started investing a while ago after my landlord taught me how to do it at the time and even though he made pretty good gains (around £50k+, he's a millionaire) doing it he never really understood it that well (he had a professional financial adviser helping him) but he told me to learn it. So I learned from the bibles of investing written by Warren Buffet and co and it's only after reading a lot of their work and actually learning about the history of stock markets and stuff like the DJIA when I started to understand the many things I used to do wrong because of a lack of knowledge.

You'll be surprised a lot of people want to invest simply because people tell them but actually have no idea of how to invest (I was once here)....it's like learning a language you need to build up the basic skills and understanding FIRST before you even attempt to risk large amounts of money. So you can take what I say with a pinch of salt it's up to you but don't be surprised

Were you referring earlier to Bitcoin or Blockchain?

rebought btc, think all this bch thing is just overreaction

Repped for timing the market well.

i have a feeling that bch is being pumped by miners. but bitcoin has its problems too, hope they can fix the slow transaction speed problem.

Slightly concerned about taxation issues regarding the forked Bitcoin tokens I've received. I'm somewhat considering selling them down, paying off the tax bill and sticking what's left of that into equities as a hedge against the main Bitcoin.

The downside of this of course being the possibility that Bitcoin core loses the civil war.

i was ******** myself when i saw bitcoin going below my opening position and was thinking all day to cut. well luckily now its on a bull run again!!!

what? bitcoin is being taxed in the UK??

As far as I am aware you only pay capital gains on Bitcoins you bought when you convert to fiat, but I am concerned about ''income'' from the forked tokens

screw the gov!! i use bitcoin only to avoid them!

This is the main reason why Bitcoin will not be allowed to succeed (even if it could, which of course it can't). Bitcoin is awash with criminals who are trying to hide or launder money, and a fair few ultra Libertarians who think tax is optional. Governments will sooner or later take Bitcoin down.
