Lol it’s been mooning for the last 2 months

Bitcoin has gone up over $4000 can in the last 24 hours. This is nuts. The current price is $28917.64

But I thought it died? Bankers said so :considered:

30,000 Canadian :pokerface:

Was just telling someone last night I wish I got into bitcoin back when ulic I think it was who made a post about it like 10years ago :lol

So, how do I buy some bitcoin, or fractions of bitcoin? What's a safe wallet?

I’ve been using shakepay and coinbase

I think shakepay is better

I used Coinbase in the past - but now that they don't take most credit cards, I have been using Shakepay. Only thing with Shakepay is that you don't want to keep your coins long term on there since it isn't supposed to be used as storage. It is just an exchange.

My co-worker was talking about Bitcoin back in 2015 before it spiked. Wish I listened to him then... but I couldn't wrap my head around the technology. He now has a house on the island that was bought entirely with bitcoin. :P

i used to mine coins and had about 3 or 4 back in the day when they were just worth a few dollars. i tried to check my wallet on my old hard drive but couldnt find the files. may try sending the drive off to a data recovery place. worth a shot i guess

Do you still have the keys?

As others mentioned, best way to buy and sell crypto right now is using ShakePay. They support eTransfers and bank wires for larger amounts.

Unless you are planning on doing the long game, I'd probably just leave it on an exchange like Binance, especially if you plan on trading. Just make sure you enable 2FA with an authenticator.

If you're doing the long game, I'd probably recommend you get a cheap hardware wallet like a Nano Ledger.

Anyone want a Shakepay referral? They were advertising buy $100, get $30 extra using referral. Referral-ee gets $30 too. Not sure if still active.

Here is my code if anyone wants to try.

Just got a Crypto ATM installed in our gas station today and they want just over $32462 per bitcoin. That's like 4k over the global average.

Do you know if you can easily transfer from Shakepay to a major exchange such as Coinbase or Gemini? And if you do - do the funds have to transfer from Canadian to U.S. dollars to make the transfer?

Why wouldn't you just transfer the crypto?

Bitcoin is bitcoin. There no usd or cad

Heard tonnes of horror stories from coinbase so use at your own discretion.

No issues transferring from shakepay to binance. Technically there’s no easy or hard way to transfer coins. It’s all the same. You send your coins from your address to your other address and that’s it. Sometimes, it does take some time

Not your keys, not your coins

Which gas station in Nanaimo?

Care to elaborate on stories?

I just started with it about 3 months ago and then saw people on here talking about shakepay... I don't like coinbase's interface much, it's really poorly laid out... but what have been the problems you're referring to?

Coinbase filed for an IPO.

Get on now before it hits 60K PogChamp

you guys heard of coinfield?

not as far as i know

A shocking 10% increase to start 2021... wow...

Hope everyone got in at 20K when they could!

Still not too late! This won't stop until 60K at least! PogChamp

Does shakepay only let you invest in bitcoin or ethereum?
