You pulled out a profit, it’s worth it, you can’t dwell on a profit decision. Greed gets a lot of people. I bought a coin at 3 cents and sold it at a dollar, that coin is now $6.40. I pulled out a healthy profit that I was happy with, I don’t regret it at all. Most the time before I cashed out I would pull my initial investment out at 100% profit and then let it run until I felt greed was taking over, then I’d sell. There is always correction in the market.

Cheers mate. I am wary that this is a dangerous feeling. My thoughts now are to keep my initial investment now and then play with the profits. If I lose that then I am no worse off.

Just Bpayed some of my profit back to BTC Markets. Will wait and see where I am at once that clears. Thinking about maybe buying one of the other coins with a bit of it then taking it over to coinspot and swapping it for verge or cordana.

I just setup an account with BTC markets and transferred $2k. I can afford to lose it. It's a lot of beer money but hopefully I can make it back

The block chain is the value but if I can risk a few dollars to make more I will be happy.

So ripple is now down where I sold it the other day. I am waiting on my BPay payment to go through which probably wont be till Monday or Tuesday now. So annoying! Just imagine if there was some type of currency that could clear in 4 seconds..... Imagine that lol...

Is there a way to buy Horizon State with AUD? When I do the sums of buying Litecoin through BTC Markets then transferring to Cryptopia to buy HST, it works out to about $4/HST which is much higher than any of the prices I can find for HST in USD.

I read that before I posted but by the time you buy this, transfer that, fee here, fee there and actually get the HST it has cost you well over the market rate.

Reading through Coinbase fees, they seem quite substantial. Plus I assume your bank will charge you a currency conversion fee. BTC Markets seem to have the highest price of all the exchanges I have looked at. Which I guess is good if you are selling but not so much when buying.

Am I missing something?

Yep you’ll also be hit with a currency conversion fee unless you use something like a 28 degrees MasterCard like I do. No fees.

Don’t know, all I know is no currency conversion fees or international transaction fees. I pay off the closing balance each month so I never cop interest. Great card to travel overseas with.

Does anyone know how long an at market buy order takes to show up in your BTC trade history, I placed and order which said was successful but there's nothing in my trade history. I would've thought it was like stocks and shows up instantly.
