I was finally able to buy 1 Bitcoin on coinbase. I'm going to wait until eth drops below 160 then trade for eth.

Dude. This is possibly the worst time to buy bitcoin, specially if you plan on trading it for eth. Trade it now.

Well. That's the thinking that made me buy up a few more at 200. Then it tanked and I wished I would have waited. Now I'm just riding it out to buy more when it tanks again. Just because it looks strong now doesn't guarantee it won't come back down to 150 or less.

I swear, if CB does not release my 5.9642 ETH today after my waiting for over a week, I'm going send them a poopy flavored lollypop in the mail. (since they have no phone number.)

I just traded it back to USD. I'm going to hold and see if Eth dips before I jump in.

Good call. Better than holding BTC with an ETH end game right now.

Why? I had no other way to try to get to buy some ETH from Polo as you can't use USD on Polo. Kraken still hasn't verified me so I don't really have a choice but to buy BTC from Glidera transfer to Polo and then buy ETH with it.

It's fine if you trade it right away. The BTC/ETH value is decreasing. So if you sit with bitcoin, waiting for a dip, you could be worse off.

Got ya. Yeah, no choice here and I've already missed the $130-$140's this past week. I'm just hoping this thing pulls back to the 180's again at this point...

Hoping someone here has done this. I currently have a fair amount of ETH sitting in Coinbase. I told myself I'm going to take from profits if it hits $250, which I have not done yet. Ideally I want to recoup my initial investment.

I also have setup a GDAX account. Are there selling fees on GDAX? If/when I decide to sell some, I'd like to figure out the best way to do it outside of Coinbase, because the fees (obviously) suck. I was hoping I'd be able to transfer my ETH to GDAX, sell, transfer fiat back to Coinbase, then transfer it to my bank account.

It's a shame tigerbabe closed her bank account screwing herself out of using coinbase, she'd be up with decent profits now

how did you mess up?

you sold high and then missed the dip for re-entry?

yeah i got drunk sunday and made a profit buy-sell

bough at 145, sold at like 158 and didn't buy when it dipped back and then it soared up that night and maintained yesterday. got back in at 178 and then sold at 204. that's why i've been waiting for another dip into the 170s but it keeps on climbing

if i had just held at 145 i'd be swimming in $$$$

I really hope it stays between 200-250 over the next month at least so I can continue to buy a few units per week. May 31st is going to be a big day. Can't wait to see what it does.
