i really dont know what to do, i like crypto but if you cannot keep it on an exchange for a week or two here and there....or while you are actively trading.....then i am kind of at a loss as to what is the point...
I do think its OK to buy and hold, in a wallet... but I am super shy about trading now..
I thought btc-e was OK...because i kept coins there for like 5 years with zero problems.... but yah... shame on me for sure.

Were you keeping it on an exchange for a week or two or were you leaving it there for 5 years? [Reply]

yeah , i posted in this thread literally the day i moved some LTC to btc-e and swapped for ETH
i left it in there, I think it was like a week...
and then a few days later the news about btc-e came out and I think I made a post again in this thread...ugggh LOL!!
I have had some super crazy financial experiences and all I can say is I feel really bad for people who had serious coin in BTC-e and I don't blame people for blaming the FBI...it looks fishy as hell...
I keep reading that BTC-e was making a million a day+ on trades, and has every incentive to give veryone their money back ASAP...so when the dust settles I suppose theres a chance that it goes back up as an exchange....but I guess we will know in maybe a week? [Reply]

Have to learn somewhere? That's why we ask questions, to learn. Poker actually forced me to use bitcoin 1.5 years ago. Didnt really dabble by choice at first, but Its been fantastic [Reply]

LOL
wouldnt even think of giving anyone a recommendation as to where to buy one now....
I think I would avoid any site that was russian or owned by any russians though...unless BTC-e actually follows through with their word and restores their site and everyone's coins ... If they do, then I might change my mind on this...
The exchange from BTC to ETH is definietly the most vulnerable part of the whole thing...
I think coinbase is pretty safe to exchange dollars into BTC though.... [Reply]
