RE: TIB: Today I Bought (and Sold) - An Investors Journal #119 - German Banks, Shopping Centres, Bitcoin, STEEM
Risky call option with Deutsche, but there is certainly a nice profit if there are no more skeletons as you say - your charting made sense as well.
Happy days indeed for that 3.85 bitcoin in 2 months - nice to see a profit from the options.
I am looking into Payza. Are you satisfied with it?
I was forced into using Payza because one of my suppliers was kicked out by PayPal after a dispute. It definitely pays to have accounts across several payment providers. Payza provides a wider range of payment options including making deposits by Bitcoin which is how I got my first funds in. The altcoins funding alternative is interesting too.
I am using them for a recurring payment. They will bounce if there are no funds, email you and try again in 2 days. That is a nice feature - PayPal does not do that - manual after a bounce and they cancel the recurring transaction.
On features then it is good. The website is a bit clunky and not all intuitive - maybe they copied too much from PayPal which I find clunky too.
There are quite a few wrinkles. Because they have so many funding options, they have a lot of rules and they seem to like sticking to them. For example, I have a UK bank account from the time I lived there. I can link my UK bank account but I can only use it for withdrawals because I have an Australian address (which is the address on the account). They would not validate my credit card because the account number on the statement is different to the card - anyone who has ever had a card lost will find the account number and the card number differ. STEEM transfer is sitting in pending even though they say the address is generated specifically for the transfer - should not have to go into pending. Not resolved because they only work Monday to Friday.
Summary: if your situation is plain vanilla it will be great. They will grow up in time to deliver on all they promise.
As for Deutsche, we will see a lot of change in the face of European Banking in the 4 and a half years to expiry. Best options one can get in US now is January 2019 with 2020 emerging in September plus a few warrants on BAC, ASBC and ZION
My situation is a bit more than plain vanilla, so I'll wait around a bit. Though, a Dash debit card was just announced, and they don't do things halfway.
Thank you for always giving a full picture analysis to my questions. That is something I appreciate about communicating with you.
