Re: Cryptocurrencies

It's not so difficult. I posted a link to a website explaining it a few pages back.

The hard part is digging up all the numbers from the exchanges you used. A real pain in the arse!

Re: Bitcoin/cypto newbie questions

Yeah, Eth and litecoin have gone nuts during the last week or so after a pretty long stagnant period. Lucky timing!

Re: British - Living in Japan (Opening a trading account)

Nice find.

I use the SBI Sumishin NetBank with my SBI trading account. Works great, and you get fee-free withdrawals at seven eleven etc. There's also a pretty decent point/cashback system for using the card visa debit function.

Re: Bitcoin/cypto newbie questions

Chickened out of what? Day trading? If that's the case I don't blame you. Definitely not good for the nerves. Buy and hold, reallocate or diversify when required. That's my current strategy. After you've held for a while and watched the swings, then you can get an idea of when might be a good time t...

Japan's economy on a roll?

I've read a few articles recently that have been pretty bullish on the Japanese economy. This is the latest: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-12-12/japan-s-stock-market-breakout-based-on-a-solid-foundation What do you guys think? The labor shortage problem is a pretty good reason for ris...

Re: Cryptocurrencies

Found this article today: https://www.enigma.co.jp/media/page-16728/ It's based on guidance released by the NTA on the 1st of December regarding crypto tax (https://www.nta.go.jp/shiraberu/zeiho-kaishaku/joho-zeikaishaku/shotoku/shinkoku/171127/01.pdf).

Re: Bitcoin/cypto newbie questions

Interesting view about the current frenzy. Would love to hear others' opinions on this: https://medium.com/@kristopolous/heres-what-s-happening-with-bitcoin-a4a11e0f835b Just seems like scare mongering. His sub-headline "The next recession could be weeks away" makes that pretty clear. Of ...

Re: Cryptocurrencies

If you're holding BTC, now may be a good time to take some profit and put it into ETH, or some other large cap :shock:

Re: Bitcoin/cypto newbie questions

More seriously, what do we think of the impact of upcoming futures trading launches on cryptocurrencies? Selling any coin now is a waste I think. It's going to explode next year. Futures trading and rumoured ETF launches etc. will give the average investor easier access to crypto, driving demand an...
