Omfg wtf is going on with bitcoin?
Don't know what makes me crazy about its growth in 2017: the fact that I have no money to buy some or the fact that when I have it might collapse ... Aaaargh

That's still a rant. Just not Dev related

@agentQ yeah, I realized that after a while 😂

You can buy some, even for Like 10 bucks, its not a full Bitcoin but its still a Bitcoin

If you want to invest in bitcoin without owning bitcoin I would suggest a Forex platform. At least there you will be able to use a stoploss instead of running around trying to find someone crazy enough to take the hot potato off your hands if the bitcoin hype is crumbling down.

but 1 satoshi

@cyberlord64 stoploss still requires for someone to buy your offer, it's just an automated setup rather than a manual one. If your stoploss offer is not low enough, or the market drops too quickly, you might still be left with the hot potato (though I agree that it's a very useful feature, just arguing that it's not bulletproof)

@endor Since you are trading behind a company, they are obliged to close your trade at whatever price. Though some may offer this guarantee at an additional price.

@cyberlord64 Poloniex (and a many others too, IIRC) explicitly says they do not offer any guarantees in that regard. Hell, they do not even guarantee that the lenders will get all their money back in cases of extreme volatility!
(And god forbid they actually take responsability for it).
Explicitly stated in their ToS :/

@endor duh... poloniex is unregulated and I would not use it as an example.
