Do you think eth will bottom out at 250? I told my buddy that eth next bottom out would be 260 and it would peak again... i am hoping for one more chance to buy back at 269 tomorrow. I am noticing the lows are usually around 9-11 am estern. There is also a low patter around the am times but i am never awake for it.

sign up for GDAX (its coinbase.com's trading platform) it usually works even when coinbase is overloaded.

So i went to gdax and hit create an account and it linked my coinbase account instantly. That was kind of scary!

I hear about potential hackers breaking into coinbase accounts and what not!! Is this a concern to anyone? Or better yet how big of a concern is this?

coinbase is gdax so you are safe. make sure you have 2FA enabled for security.

Gdax won't let me trade being in the UK, should I trust bitfinex?
I know they had coins stolen but that was a few years ago.

I think no matter what exchange they on, they technically aren't 100% safe. I pulled 80% of my ETH offline in MEW until my Ledger comes in next month. All of my alt coins are sitting on Polo, but I want to look into where to store STRAT and the others. I think I can put GNT in MEW and STRAT on the Ledger, but not sure about the others.

Also, I highly recommend the Blockfolio app to keep track of all your shyt.

I am pretty sure 2fa just stands for two-factor authorisation but yes the google verification app is the one I use for all the exchanges

You can use Authy as well, which is what I use on my phone.

Two factor authentication

Anyone have any thoughts on Mysterium? A decentralized VPN sounds interesting.
