Last year on the thread, Patient was saying he had cashed out amounts  that were 'dozens of times more' than what he had invested, and this weekend he's mentioned making profits 'thousands of times over'. In that context, the number of 'times' can refer to a multiple on the initial investment rather than specifically meaning that number of trades. If you invest a fiver when it's at $50 or $500 and sell when it's at $50,000, there's 100x or 1000x return just from tucking them away - it doesn't really mean that he entered into transactions thousands of times.  So perhaps he was patient and held from $20 to $20000 before giving up work in 2017.

You really have patience to explain this over and over. I gave up 😆

Sorted my coinbase verification now.... used the Mrs's Ipad to take clearer pics, as scanning stuff via my printer wasnt good enough..

Considering adding BTC to balance sheet.  Peter Thiel has always been a bull, but still.  "Considering" is different to doing though   Suspect we will see more of this.  Quarterly filings will be interesting for a lot of large companies over the next 6 months I suspect.

I cant remember what book i read it in now but something along the lines of giant companies acquired business they knew naff all about ended up hurting revenues which lead to the author naming it diworseifcation.

I'm currently having an issue trying to move ETH from Coinbase Wallet to Coinbase (will then move to Pro) to take some profit and trade. Has been pending for 30 hours + so have had to contact support. Want to buy some more BTC as I think its soon to do some upward growth.

Why kick yourself with Coinbase? Use Binance or crypto.com. They have great support for UK customers, including Faster Payment and so on.

I expect they do having been banned in the US. 
This thread will probably get pulled now you've mentioned the B word; they ban it on here too.

Personal experience FTX and Bitstamp are the are fine for the average person.  FTX more focused for traders and you can get exposure to all sorts.  Commodities, Stocks and commodities etc.  For averages I think Bitstamp is the best.  I like that Bitstamp has been resistant to alts and will not list anything completely stupid.  Kraken are also good, but I have not used them and they list a lot of shitcoins also. 

@michael121 yes in time but not at the start of it.  ETF will come in the next year or two.  Some say thats the time to sell...

Got both and we use FTX for Corp stuff. Always hear good things I just never get round to using them. I use a few different on ramps for £, do most of my trading on Binance and Kucoin.
Uniswap via CB Wallet for the random degen stuff, oh and PancakeSwap too for farming. BSC has been blowing ERC20 out of the water recently but I guess it's not a pure DEX if Binance controls it...

I must admit to totally not understanding Crypto, and being sceptical, but with an open mind.  This article kind of mirrors my possible misunderstanding of just how it can be so popular:

Sorry to stoke the "anti" sentiment, and "yes" I am jealous
