I sent a btc transfer 24hrs ago. It now has 153 confirmations but my merchant says they can't collect the coins because it's pending?
I've never heard of such a thing. Has anyone had experience with a situation like this?
What is the point of these massive shorts? Don't they want bitcoin to increase in value? What is the sentiment?
So many feels right now, y'all. My family knows I own bitcoin. They get louder the more the price goes up about how scammy/fad this is and how dumb I am if I don't sell. I'll admit I don't have the thickest skin and life would be easier if they at least partially agreed with me, but this is the first time I don't give a sh*t what anybody thinks of my conviction. I don't care if the price drops 50%. I'm in.
I'm in IT but is only new to Crypto - don't shame. Started in December. Started on Bitcoin Cash.
Spent a week studying it. Played around making INSTANT and COSTLESS fund transfers between fully anonymous wallets from different apps on my different phones. Also played with BIP38 encrypted Paper Wallets as a means of Cold Storage. Made INSTANT and COSTLESS deposits/withdrawals from online "merchants" like blockchain.poker and cashgames.bitcoin.com. I know some physical retail merchants in my area that accepts BCH will give that a try soon. BCH makes me a believer in crypto. I'm spreading the words (and small amount of BCH - there's no better way to understand it until you have some to play with) to family and friends.
Researched a bit about the toxicity between BCH and BTC. As newbie crypto user I don't care about this history (though I favors BCH due to phisolophical ideals). What I cared about is speed and fee. I haven't tried BTC because the fees would have eaten up the amount I wanted to test it.
The way I see it : BCH is currently $450. This is the same as BTC at $45. Because the Cash Market is 10x the Gold Market.
BTC and Ether fees are ridicoulous!
