media is always talking the multi millionaires in bitcoin but you never hear about these guys cashing in thier million dollar holdings. If i had 200 million dollars in bitcoin i would cash out for USD quickly.

Any good stories of people cashing in bitcoins to buy a mansion etc?

The only one I've heard of is Laszlo Hanyecz who bought two Domino's pizzas for 10,000 BTC.

If these guys start cashing out their Bitcoin holdings all at once that will cause the bubble to burst fast.

So I imagine that the smart ones are cashing out their holdings slowly and not telling anyone about it.

I wonder if the government will find a way to stop it when they do cash out. I mean once it gets converted to real money it means the real banks get involved, and transactions over 10k tend to raise red flags, let alone millions. I think they are better off cashing out a bit at a time and spending it as BTC as much as they can.

TBH I'm surprised the government has not already gotten their greasy paws on BTC yet. Once they will, it will completely crash and burn. Maybe that's why they don't want to, as they do own BTC as well I imagine. (like seized silk road coins etc)

I really want to look at buying some but can't seem to find a good site. A lot of them want personal information that I'm just not ready to give, like SSN or passport info.

I'm way too late in the game but I figure if I can make myself a couple hundred or maybe even a grand before it crashes, I'll be happy.

That is illegal too. Intentionally cashing out so you come in under the $10,000 reporting limit is called structuring and will land you in serious trouble. In addition - I wonder if any if these folks can actually CASH out.... and what currency they'll have to accept to do so. You may have a bunch of 1's and 0's in an account, but when these big trading places are asked to start handing out big amounts of hard cash I expect the shit to hit the fan.

You realize you are buying in at the highest point BTC has ever been?

The terms "buying high and selling low" come to mind.

Sounds like the people who are spending good money on Bitcoin are going to get screwed big time once the bubble burst open.

Is bit coin mining actually profitable? I have this guy on my steam friend list who at one time just keeps on ranting to me that he was making thousands just from mining bitcoins using several nvidia 1070 cards. He said it was his primary income. I found that hard to believe.

Watched a guy on YT. 23 years old, wound up investing $200k into bitcoin. Made like $50k the first week. He's an internet entrepreneure. I wish I had $200k to invest like that.

The $10,000 CTR limit is for cash, not electronic transactions.

They need your SSN because their banks are imposing know your customer (KYC) requirements for anti money laundering, etc. Funny how a shady thing is actually legitimate, but who knows what they do with your data in the background.

by the time he could be using "several 1070 cards" i.e.: last year, he would not have been able to mine a single BTC. He's lying.

I put $5k in a few days ago when it was just over $14k each. I own like .35 btc.

I have been trying to get Litecoin this morning when it was $300 but Coinbase has been fucked all morning and still is, they have disabled buying/selling litecoin and ethereum right now.

Often times, when someone says 'I mine BTC' they actually mean 'I mine altcoins and sell those, either manually or automatically, for BTC/Cash'. There's a lot of difference under the hood, but for all practical purposes, he's got a cryptocoin miner on his computer keeping his room warm and making him money.

And yes, you can make some pretty good scratch off cryptocoin mining. Whether it's worth it to invest in hardware at this point is an exercise left to the reader.

The difficulty goes up exponentially so video cars arn't enough now, you need the latest generation ASICs, and they are only good for a few months before they too are underpowered. So yeah he was BSing, or he might be mining something else. Eth is still viable to mine with video cards right now, so if you're going to mine it probably makes more sense to mine that.

Hmm I thought it was any transaction, whether you are transfering money between banks etc. But BTC to bank, wouldn't that be technically equivalent to cash? Either way I am pretty sure ANY transaction in the millions raises all sorts of red flags everywhere so the BTC millionaires are kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place as they need to thread lightly if they want to cash out. The government does not like when people make money through non standard channels and always find ways to stop it.

I'm very late to the bitcoin craze, is it worth setting up a rig solely for bitcoin mining? I'm willing to pay up to $1,000 and $50/mo for electricity.

Probably not. It would depend heavily on what your $/kwh is, and whether or not BTC shits itself before you pay off the 1k.

For rough comparison, a 1080ti makes around $200/mo right now. Some are more efficient (both $/kwh and ROI) than those, though.
