I'm going into Aug 1, with one bitcoin being held on a paper wallet... just in case the BIP148 succeeds and it takes off.

I am holding more ethereum now.

Eth has dropped again but could be setting up an inverse head and shoulders. I've been dollar cost averaging in so I may buy more after aug 1. Not sure if the fork is causing volitility or not.

U.S. indicts suspected Russian 'mastermind' of $4 billion bitcoin laundering scheme

U.S. indicts suspected Russian 'mastermind' of $4 billion bitcoin laundering scheme | Reuters

NEW YORK/ATHENS/MOSCOW (Reuters) - A U.S. jury indicted a Russian man on Wednesday as the operator of a digital currency exchange he allegedly used to launder more than $4 billion for people involved in crimes ranging from computer hacking to drug trafficking.

Interesting read, you can see why crypto currency is a scary venture.

Anyone else having trouble getting authentication codes from Coinbase today?

How long have you been waiting?

How long have you been waiting?

Waited 15 minutes, then tried again and have been waiting about 1 hour.

I haven't made any transactions, but maybe there actually was issues with the seqwit?

bitcoin cash (BCH). Currently $422.54

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/beginners-guide-claiming-your-bitcoin-cash-and-selling-it/

Bitcoin Cash (sometimes referred to as Bcash, and mostly using the tickers BCH or BCC) launched today. Anyone who held bitcoin at 12:20 p.m. UTC should have an equivalent amount of BCH attributed to their Bitcoin private keys.

Unfortunate Coinbase is not processing bitcoin cash transactions.

Two hours later finally got both verification keys. Thanks for your input. I may start researching hard wallets.

I went with the paper wallet because the hard wallets were getting hard to come by, and over priced. Perhaps that will change now that Aug. 1 has passed. Paper is a free way to safely store cryptos.

bitcoin is breaking out to new highs today. Add to this your new bitcoin cash value, which is sinking but still a couple of hundred bucks, and it's more like $3400+. But I still haven't figured out how to access my bitcoin cash. I'll have to research it.

Btc is doing well since the fork. Think folks are selling bch to buy btc?

Eth has also broken out of an inverse head and shoulders pattern.

Btc is rocking higher, now at all time high. Eth is doing well too. I'd like to see btc and eth test their breakout price before they rockets up. I'd buy some there.

Sold my 1.xxx bitcoin today at $3391. The highs yesterday and today are at the cup and handle initial target price so I'll look for a pullback to re-enter.

Holding my ether for now but getting antsy as it continues to rise. The recent gains make me feel greedy but it's still way off the all-time highs.

I sold my GBTC today at $547 for a really nice gain. The Premium to NAV was 76% when I sold. It has since dropped. I hope to get back in when the Premium to NAV falls back under 60%.

Me too. I got $543 and $541. I see a gap near $475 that look like a good reentry point.

Still holding GAHC.
