Brehs, I invested via coinbase. Planning on seeing what the market does in the next few months but I want to be liquid and get out in the case of a crash. Should I invest in a wallet? Is there anything else I should do to secure my investment from getting hacked?

Square's Cash App: A New Place To Buy And Sell Bitcoin?
Big money is coming to bitcoin: ex-Fortress executive Novogratz

I saw this but yesterday and bought more SQ shares. If bitcoin can hit the mainstream then I’d like to be in a position to be fully invested before it does

Coinbase is a wallet. You can keep your investment there, just at least make sure your password is unique and that you got two factor authentication turned on.

How much you invested ? I say that if it's higher than 1k then you could buy a ledger

My understanding is that a coinbase account is not a wallet, coinbase itself is a wallet and with a coinbase account you are moving money in and out of their wallet

Correct me if I’m wrong

What is a ledger?

 

[Zime]

I ordered a ledger nano s so I can store some bitcoin and ripple coins.

What is a ledger?

It's a hardware wallet where you can store The coins you own such as btc . They keep adding support for other coins as well . You can set up a password for it so in case you lose It , nobody else can use it . Check out their website for a better exPlanation at ledgerwallet.com . You can buy one at Amazon if interested .

It's an exchange not necessarily a wallet.

Anyone here mines bitcoin?

GDAX is the coinbase exchange

Largest Bitcoin Exchange is now GDAX

To better highlight the difference between these two products:

· Coinbase is a place for consumers to easily buy, sell, and store digital currency.

· GDAX (formerly Coinbase Exchange) is an exchange for professionals to trade digital assets.

These are the top 10 coins on Coinmarketcap exactly one year ago. Total market cap has grown from like $25 billion to $220 billion today so this is barely getting started. Who knows what 2018 will look like.

2018 looking good.

 

[mamba]

2018 looking good.

My stock portfolio is where I want it to be.

I’m building up my crypto portfolio, now.

I think we see mainstream adoption beginning late 2018.

Bitcoin is so intriguing if it turns into a scheme I am going to laugh

Speaking of schemes



No refunds are being offered.

Coinbase needs to offer more currencies. Interested in XRP, but don't know how to buy.
