New here and following. Just had an ahhh haaa moment yesterday after a few lost dollars and watching the books on stamp combined with posts here. An accurate entry while Darth draws the lines? I suspect over 95% of the current books by a single hand eliminating chances of speculation which news wont touch. What percentage of players are privy to this in general?

My buy point is defenetly between 1600-1800 USD.
You never know my friend.
....and neither does anyone else here.
true
but wouldn't recommend that
1600s possible though
but under 1600 "highly unlikely"
I am not sure about the odds.
Let's say that the current range is between approximately $1950 and and $2,300.
maybe to odds for breaking down are 45% and 55% for up? but then if we break down, then how far down will it go? greater odds against it the further down that you go.
In theory, you should have already bought a decent amount of coins on these first two downward legs, so waiting for more down before you buy more is not a bad idea. But if you have not bought, and you are waiting, you might get left behind, no? [insert running after the train.gif]
In the event this goes 1.7k and then 1.2k, what future or top would come next vs. a breakout to 3.5k or 5k now? Would it mean an even larger top or a possible death?

What do you think?
Some of us are skeptical about the genuineness of the questions of newbie accounts.
For now, I am going to assume that you are not trolling.. welcome to the forum.
Well, yes, regarding your questions, if the price breaks below $1850 to $1900 then the next area of support would likely be in the $1500 to $1600 area.. and if it breaks below $1500 then the next area of support would be $1200 to $1300... ..
So, in your question, you are asking about a break down to $1200, and that is not at all bearish.
Remember, it seems like a long time ago, but we were just at $1200 - about a month ago. So, yeah, it is no way bearish to return to $1200.. the same is true about $890, we could return to those seemingly low level price levels and still be in an overall bulltrend.... remember we moved from $250 to $2760 in about 20 months.
Regarding breaking out to $3k, it becomes more delayed the lower the correction. At this time, we have not experienced the correction beyond $1850, so it seems a bit premature to talk about what if $3k to $5k in the event of more correction.
We have to see how one leg plays out before predicting the next leg... so yeah, the greater the correction the more likely that more resistance will form at different levels... We have to play these step by step, because we cannot necessarily predict all of the legs, but when one leg happens, then we can attempt to predict the probabilities of the next leg - in either direction... and at the moment up seems more likely than down, but if we go down, then up becomes less and less likely... there is no exact answers, but just a bunch of probabilities that are strung upon each other.
I understand the skepticism and thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. No trolling here, genuine questions only. I was asking about a breakout now before further corrections. Lets say if this is the last leg before a pattern completes around 2K we would be able to predict a breakout sometime shortly after 2300 and likely predict a top. More my question was regarding the health of Bitcoin and if we did see such low corrections and how that might look for its future.

Looks to me that some of the alts are being short squeezed as low as possible. In the case of an alt spike that's where the big percentages will come from. I'm not exactly sure how BTC price moves these numbers up or down but I'm expecting a slow drain on BTC until alts won't sell.

Are we trying to push up or am I being a bit optimistic?
I'm usually completely wrong.
We used to expect a weekend dump, but it pushed up during a few weekends recently. Maybe Bitcoin will surprise us and push up again this weekend. It's only $100 below the ATH.
Being relatively new to bitcoin, I'm concerned with the fact that bitcoin moves mostly on weekends. Why is that or is this just what everyone has come to accept? Since the numbers are quite high now and new prospective buyers feeling a bit tense in shelling out their dough, I suspect Bitcoin will be a bit more chill this weekend.

because it's mostly organic investors "weekend warriors" who are getting into bitcoin and microcap-investing
If you're being serious, How do you "know" that? I'd be put at ease to know that was correct. I have been watching very closely and notice a big difference in the way the books act on all the exchanges starting around 3-4 pm Pacific time, on Friday's. The numbers look random bot entered to me until around Monday or Tuesday evening. Would you invest differently if you knew someone had a large majority stockpiled and manipulated the price at their will?

This gets confusing, I'm not FOMO at this point but more fear of losing BTC in the event this goes south quickly. I remember about 2 weeks ago ETH exceeded BTC's 24 hour volume then vanished to about 1/4 the volume. It was the same 3 exchanges with the majority, polo, bithumb, and coinone.
I think this pump is directly related to that buy. This might not dump for awhile longer but its anyone's guess when (if it does).
Would hate to miss out on this if its going over 1k and I'm deadly accurate at buying the top

You mean you don't know? I don't get it. Who the hell is in charge over there?!
What I don't know is whether this is fully manipulated with malevolent intent or this is organic growth from those who feel they missed the BTC train. I have the same feelings towards BTC when it goes parabolic like this. Certainly not natural market growth.

I feel fairly convinced after this performance that an individual or collaboration of a few have control over the crypto markets. I'll bet the recent Builderberg conference covered the crypto topic. This is money after all. That would certainly affect my buying decisions.

Btc-e is down. How long until people see it, panic and dump even more?
Any guesses for the bottom?
-20% for BTC in one day is a huge move. I see a +10% correction upward coming. It's just too much.
I think this is the bottom lest they want to do damage.

I'm starting to see this is clearly a bid to get people on the ETH train (since its so resilient

Very nice pullback and epic battle over the bottom. Now hovering around 2515 on Stamp, I'm expecting some sideways movement and some smaller corrections for a day or 2 until the 2550 wall can be chewed through. Maybe that will get pulled but I'd welcome some sideways confidence through the weekend.
Not that I trust goldman sachs but they were accurate so far in calling the movement before it happened.

On Stamp, Seems to me we need to break 2552 before a correction can take place and perhaps 2560. Taking out 2525 was entertaining to watch. Someone kept dumping 20-50 btc at a time on 2525 when it got shallow. Seems like an effort to wear out the buyers.

Now at 2565, going back up.
I guess shorting is over until 3k.
Couple small dumps will come before new ATH.
OkCoin at 2768, stamp will catch it with 50usd cap.
Yup, resistance dropped back real quick or turned support, looks like green candles mostly until 2600. BTC support amazes me when its needed.

Thinking about the unexpected space in the mem pool and trying to make more sense of it. While I suppose it's possible the miners could have spammed it for increased fees, it's possible they were simply opportunists to some real traffic. If that were the case, Such a sharp climb and drop in transactions may tell another story. Is it too far fetched or more probable to assume a very deep pocket may have hoarded 500,000 coins or even many more in the past months, driving up the price and filling the pools? Forgive me if I'm just being captain obvious. How many coins would an individual or state need to control in order to gain a monopoly over price movements?

If a billionaire attempted a hostile takeover, the proof of work could be changed rather trivially.
This is a point! This is why I believe in Core. But how fast it could be done until we need a massive rollback Buterin's style?
It's going to cost a lot of money for such an attempt to take place.
Usually billionaries are very wary on where and how they spend their money, otherwise they wouldn't be billionaries in the first place.
If the intent were to snuff out bitcoin as competition to banks, losing some money would not be a concern if it was to ensure theirs does not go valueless to a new successor.

Yes, could be an head and shoulder. But not yet confirmed
In my opinion, this is just scare tactics to get you to drop your coins. The timing is perfect for an engineered dump. I hope one day we no longer find it necessary to peg btc to the dollar.

Peg it to gold, how will you commonly state value. I agree, I hope we dont define the world by FIAT of just one country and a country which doesnt balance its trade or its national budget is probably not a stable gauge no matter how meetings are held in that hope.
I mean we could have a bi metallic standard in crypto. Bitcoin and a minor coin its stated relative to, must be some way to find a ratio that reflects the market?
Gold isn't a good peg either since its valued in fiat. and such is our so called "market". I think for bitcoin to be truly successful we may eventually need to redefine its value structure as it relates to our failing democratic approach.

I'd call this a bad sign. This same kid's story got trotted out at the height of the last bubble in 2013. Along with the story of a EU guy that found bitcoin on an old hard drive that he paid $27, then at the time in 2013 they were suddenly worth $886k. I think the news said he bought a condo or something.
http://www.maxkeiser.com/2013/10/man-buys-27-of-bitcoin-forgets-about-them-finds-theyre-now-worth-886k/These kinds of stories I call the "sucker" stories, that get trotted out by the MSM so that the fence sitters finally cave and invest into Bitcoin right into a bubble and eventual downturn.
Stay wary my friends.
And no, I'm not trolling. I'm a permabull still 90% in who has been through these Bitcoin cycles before, and have seen how this market works. Remember, the MSM is no friend to Bitcoin.
Re-buy at $200 then we can start all over again?
You never know. ETH went through a flash crash. There's always the chance that real Satoshi (if it is indeed one person and not a foundation) dies and the estate will have to liquidate to pay the estate taxes. (If Satoshi is a citizen of one of the countries that imposes such ridiculous taxes. US citizen would be bad. Japanese citizen would be even worse.) People forget that we have Satoshi's massive holdings hanging over our heads. Maybe Satoshi would never destroy his creation, but do you really think a government is going to care if they crash the market or not when demanding their estate taxes?
FUD
Super cheap coins! That would inevitably be a short term crash and at this point, those coins would get eaten immediately. After said event, massive confidence would return to the market with the new distribution. The only thing that could destroy bitcoin is people finding no real use for it any longer. For now that is certainly not happening.

I'm not sure a back test of those levels are entirely needed. Why do I think so? Bitcoin received acceptance from fortune 500"s to mom and pop shops plus many new developments during the climb to support its value changes.
Bitcoin as a whole is just starting to be understood by the early majority for its potentials beyond an early adopters investment vehicle. Its clear that the people want it but also have fear. If fear wins we go back to a prescribed debt bubble banking system and wait for that to show more results. I think we'll follow above the trend line given the gravity of development. Imagine the feeding frenzy if it went to 1100

It dipped down to $2000 a few weeks ago through panic selling, and a week later it was back up to $2800. The panic sellers from a few weeks ago must have regretted it, and today's panic sellers will probably regret it.
There's no particular rhyme or reason to any of it. I wouldn't want to be in the mind of someone heavily shorted or longed at present. I assume there's not much going on in there other than screeching.
Now is the perfect time to buy and HODL, then buy more if it goes any lower. Today's market is too unpredictable to go short or long.
Agreed, This might be our buy zone and then again so could 1500 although the trend line is very near. Good advice on cost averaging.

We finally got the big bounce that was anticipated from the 1800's. Market is not looking so comfortable this morning to go full bull. I'm anticipating more downwards movements by next weekend. Seems we might play in the 1800-2100 range for awhile.
While I picked the correct bottom to buy, I'm still weak handed and sold much too early.

Must be a showman or maybe he confused 5000 with 500.000
He thinks the real target is 3 million using some special math analysis, so 500k is conservative in his mind.
What appears to be a win/win gamble is most likely a sure lose. Since he's only accepting USD as payment, I suspect very few people will catch that dagger if it happens.

Personally I prefer Bitcoin due to the fact I can travel with it and not be questioned by customs when I cross boarders. (I travel quite a lot) Try taking gold bars through customs x-ray and you'll likely have them confiscated. Bitcoin circumnavigates that BS. I suspect gold shops in Asia will be the first ones to start exchanging XBT.
No doubt gold and silver have their place, just saying, you failed to note the areas where Bitcoin is superior and the reason it exists in the first place.

The damage is already done, there will be now
42 million bitcoins,
exchanges and merchants are already scrambling to deal with it.
That would also mean I now have twice as many bitcoins.
Exchanges can dump bcc with insane volume.
So it is just a dead altcoin.

Lets say mining costs (electricity costs) significantly decreased in the next decade or even became free. Would this pull the value out of bitcoin's POW? Or perhaps more nodes could run and value would be placed more on the security of the network.
Surely decreased energy costs would be a global change and difficult to predict.

Everywhere I read its recommended to withdraw coins from exchanges until the dust settles sometime after Aug.1st. That would create very thin pools everywhere without the option to transfer back and prices could move any direction much easier. The skeptic in me wonders if it might be better to put my coins on an exchange and perhaps just ignore the fork drama. BTC seems to have a tendency to go the opposite direction of the masses.

How does this equal bcc gaining value or you gaining value from going against the crowd (or with the crowd)?
I'm not concerned about a BCC value and in fact I was never here for BCC in the first place. I would only be concerned with BCC value if I follow my greed to get MORE. Really, I'd never even heard of BCC before last week. I'm suggesting to consider ignoring the "possible fork" or simply taking advantage of the likely volatility that would arise from thin pools where transactions are halted.
You seem like a smart individual but personally I can't bear to read much of what you write. Seems trollish to me, and where the hell did you come from anyway? No offence intended, just suspicious timing to enter WO with so much to argue about.

There are 2 options.
1. The price goes down. This means that the percentage of bitcoin that you can acquire is greater!
2. The price goes up. In this scenario the percentage of bitcoin that you can acquire diminishes, but the amount of fiat you can trade it for is greater.
Assuming you care only for the coin and not fiat. The demand will still be there, and you will be out of its way with u'r dead weight corpse dragging 'fake' trade. And any of those 2 scenarios would help you profit. So??
Dead weight corpse dragging fake trade? Haha, didn't intend to put your knickers in a twist. I don't claim to know what will happen but being one who's gone against the crowd most of my life has worked out well for me so far. Best of luck to you sir.

Once again It's paid to go the opposite direction of the masses. Kept all my BTC on exchange for the fork and traded the crap out of 2800-3125 volatility last night. Now, more $ and more BTC. I think we will go up a bit further before seeing a bigger correction. Much harder to pick a top in ATH territory. Now that everyone is expecting a correction, maybe only up from here for the next weeks?

Thailand is cheap, is not FUCKING COLD and has some of the best food in the world. Also, bargirls.
Besides the obvious, I'm very curious to see if I can make enough money trading bitcoin with the locals to pay for the stay. If so, why would I not live in a high quality hotel in a great country instead of a far more expensive apartment in a frozen wasteland?
Now you can buy residency in Thailand for 5-10 years or longer. I'm willing to bet other countries in Asia start to follow suit.

These packages do very little more for you unless you really want a work visa(?), lotsa spa appointments, maybe an annual health check etc. Lot of money for bugger all IMO.
Don't forget the economy in SE Asia is booming right now, especially Vietnam. Construction everywhere while citizens are gaining wealth and the new generations are becoming very educated. It's kinda refreshing to be around.

I first checked the $300 video.... after being horrified by the ugly apartment (not to mention the bathroom) I switched to the $600 one... Still horrified. Why would I want to be rich to live like that?
Maybe I am a bit picky about HOME and not that much about food, etc... donno. Is there any other videos for living a "rich" life on a budget there or something?
No idea. Like I said, living would be 3k per month not 300. When you start looking at higher costs it is more stuff catering to foreigners so the price can go up quickly.
My friend has a house with a pool and he figures 2k is enough.
Oh ok, then it isn't much cheaper than living in my country. Maybe it isn't even cheaper.
I supposse it looks cheap in comparison to living well in USA which, yes, it is really expensive and nice houses/apartments in premiun places are still incredibly overpriced. Salaries are also WAY higher so I guess it is ok.
I've been living 50% of each year in SE Asia since 2001. Costs have gone up and in some places like Bali, a lot. Currently I rent a 3 bedroom/3 bathroom house across from the beach in Vietnam for $350 a month (exclusive of electric). It's not as nice as my house in Canada but its clean and safe with the added perks of weather and cheap food. The largest benefit to living there is the fact that I become way more active outside the house which would have been spent hibernating indoors had I stayed in the cold. I figure it costs me about 30% less to be in Vietnam than Canada for the winter. I buy what I want and typically never need to spend more than $2000 CAD in a month.

Have been watching the graphs today, and I think there will be no correction this time, no dip.
Two or three times I saw whales trying to dump the price, but it only got to the 3800's. They don't have weight anymore to do more intense dumps.
Price is on the 3900's and finding the usual psychological resistance on the triple zero. But I think this time it will break the barrier easily. The triple zero will not be considered a solid resistance as time passes, the four zero will be more likely to provoke corrections.
So let's accelerate this rocket to the 10,000's. Just accept it.
So.... a bigger player or several have entered, mass adoption has started, or both?

Then I checked my account and it indeed did buy in 4 transactions.

I'm using Stamp since 2013 and I never experienced such a thing. My immediate thoughts:
- Check for API keys on your account and revoke every one of them, if any,
- Open a support ticket with references to the orders you didn't place
Yes, there was an API key that I never created. Concerning
Why would I have an API key? Do all accounts come with one or do they need to be created? Permissions were set for full control.

Just got back from the bank, sending a wire transfer, un bitcoin related. What a load of crap.
After organizing all the necessary information, driving to the bank, 20 more minutes with the teller, meanwhile, I had to listen to her tell me about a new package for easier money transfer by telephone with the bank bla bla bla, I got a terrible exchange rate, a $25 fee for the service, then they ask me "what is this money being used for?" It just slipped out.... "Tell them its none of their fu@king business and I'll do whatever the I want with it.
"Sorry, Its western union rules, we need to put a reason for the transfer. Your transfer should complete in 3-5 business days, if not we'll call you".
I did take the opportunity to mention that it was dinosaur tech and how bitcoin will probably devour it.
Anyway exciting times watching it happen.
EDIT: And the saga continues, no less than 3 phone calls from the bank today with "problems" in the transfer. All sorted now, (I think) and it'll add a day to the transfer.
Just wow!
If it were just a bit simpler for BTC to be cashed in/broadly accepted. Right now it pretty much requires the receiver to be signed up with an exchange to convert back to local funds. I heard some ATM's buy BTC for local currency. Know any in Moscow?

So I think I'm feeling ready to make the move to accept bitcoin as an advertised method of payment in my jewelry business. I've been toying with the idea and suggesting it to customers for awhile now for the reaction. In July, about 70% had heard of it, 1% had some but wouldn't use it, and around 30% who had heard of it said "not for me". This week I noticed a much broader interest in bitcoin from my customers which turned into short conversations and several eavesdroppers approached me later to ask more about it.
My customers are largely middle and upper middle class.
I have a 17 day show starting this week and I've already printed the sign. BTCitcoin Accepted Here!

I think that is awesome! We need more local merchant acceptance. Just seeing the acceptance signs will start to change public perception of bitcoin. Perhaps you can even offer to help customers with setting up their bitcoin account and wallet.
I'm not sure I want to set wallets up for customers, I'm usually very busy but I'm thinking to offer a discount of 10% if they use bitcoin. More incentive! And yes, just seeing the sign will have a big impact even if I don't have any btc transactions. I'm a little bit nervous to have the sign knowing it will likely lead to lots of conversations during my sales time.

BTCitcoin and how it works. I Always tell them to watch the movie: Banking on Bitcoin.
If they dont even want to spend an hour and a half to get to know how bitcoin works im not helping them. If they do watch it and ask me again later i do help them with setting up an account on Kraken and show them how it works.

The Spitznagel article was also published on Zerohedge. Ludwig Von Mises has turned around in his grave... .
Same for moissanite vs. diamond. Even though moissanite can be created in a lab and has superior spectacular brilliance/clarity vs. most diamond, there are still those who value diamond more and will likely always do so and pay more for it.
Moissanite, when it was first created, was sold as real diamonds for awhile before people were wise enough to figure it out. When the truth was discovered, those selling it as real diamond skipped town and lost all credibility in the gemstone community although Moissanite did earn its rightful place eventually. Hopefully we won't need to visit that scenario with the forks.

We are talking about a whole new payment system/platform and a store of value that is by far superior to any existing financial system and store of wealth (gold sucks FYI).
If I have a gold or silver coin sitting on the table, I do not have to pay extortion fees to some miner just to be able to spend it.
But you'll need to transport that gold or silver coin to the person accepting it. How much does that cost? You gonna use the post office or perhaps try to conceal it through an airport? Lets say you get that person in front of you with your coin. You gonna hack it up to make change or are you cashing out for fiat in a lump sum? Really Roach, we are already in a digital age and currency is going digital also. Ask a millennial if they think value should be stored digitally online or in a physical coin, metal, paper bill, etc. You're either stuck in your long held belief system or paid to spread FUD as crypto grows.

I've just finished my 3 week show with the "Bitcoin Accepted Here + 10% discount" sign. No transactions unfortunately. Only met 2 other holders and they weren't using it as a payment method but rather trading a portion and holding another. I learned that the majority of the population has heard of bitcoin somehow but have no idea what it is or where to start and probably don't care enough or have the time to research it.
About 1 percent were curious or knew someone with bitcoin and several people took photos of the sign for their teenage sons.
My neighbor became curious about BTC and eventually downloaded a wallet. I agreed to buy some small amount for her but it never happened and I didn't want to push it but rather I gave her some sources to start learning from.
I believe bitcoin is still in the very early adopters stage and I don't see bitcoin becoming a popular method of payment anytime soon and perhaps that will be the last thing it becomes. On the other hand, credit card "Tap" transactions are becoming wildly popular.
It was great to have so many ATH's during the show backing up my argument and a sweet Labor day discount.
Looks like the train is pulling away again and my recent buys are looking good at bitstamp $4550

I've just finished my 3 week show with the "Bitcoin Accepted Here + 10% discount" sign. No transactions unfortunately. Only met 2 other holders and they weren't using it as a payment method but rather trading a portion and holding another. I learned that the majority of the population has heard of bitcoin somehow but have no idea what it is or where to start and probably don't care enough or have the time to research it.
About 1 percent were curious or knew someone with bitcoin and several people took photos of the sign for their teenage sons.

Well I was prepared to attend the icygreen show just to get my 10% but I didn't see a reply to my post inquiring about it.

I had considered sharing details of my show/identity but when I interpreted your remarks as belittling, "The Icygreen show" and "bitcoin Busker" I decided anonymity on this forum was in my best interests.

Can't say I'm surprised by this dip. I suspected it wouldn't be another straight shot climb like the last one. I'll be buying all the way down if we get below 4200. 5k and beyond soon enough. In fact, I'm more relieved if the price stays lower for awhile allowing better load ups.

You'll be in time to short the bottom. You know somebody's gotta do it. Good on ya
Well, I'm still trying to research which exchange I can participate, as a US citizen, in Margin trading for BTC-USD pair. Kraken seems possible. But I'm so ambivalent, I'm not sure that I want to take the steps to register for yet another exchange. My Keepass is getting to full.
Having a Myers-Brigg personality type of INTP can be so exasperating at times. It's a wonder that I can arrive at any decision.

I might have to (shudder) use my credit card if I needed to buy something. Using credit cards always makes me feel like such a sucker. Cash rules.
I'll give you an example of when it's a good idea to use credit cards.
It was early 2015. I was unemployed and down to about $20k in assets and about the same amount in debt of various kinds.
Insolvent or getting there quickly.
I had a gut feeling that, rather than tap my assets for living expenses, I should preserve my capital. So I started living off my credit cards.
My
second gut feeling was that we were at a market bottom.
So put my $20k in bitcoin, and lived off my credit cards.
As bitcoin went up through 2016, I started incrementally liquidating my long position until the credit cards were paid off. I'm still hodling.
I'm not totally against using credit cards.
You can't sell tickets on Stubhub and it's hard to rent hotel rooms or automobiles without one.
If I find myself short on cash for a day or two, I'll take a cash advance of a couple of grand to tide myself over and pay it off ASAP.
I just hate making retail purchases with credit cards and I
really hate paying interest compounded daily.
I confess, I did use my CC for the last 4 buys although I do have the funds to wipe it clean again. Just couldn't bear the thought of trying to get a wire out during the fall. My bank uses Western Union and they have been asking a lot of questions and delaying transfers to Bitcoin exchanges. Stupidly I used the last of my exchange funds to FOMO buy at 4800. LeArNinG curve.

Post 22001404 (copy this link) (by Icygreen) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_15.21h):
My gut tells me its important for BTC to stay around 4k for awhile to solidify a future floor. We raced through with the last pass and now its proving ground time. So... if I'm right, anything below 4k should be a good buy area. Sure, we could go to 2k but would the market makers really want to cook the golden goose in a bull market that will more than likely see 10k in the near term.
For now its fairly noticeable that profit taking is happening above 4k and buying back below.
Anyhow its just me and my gut feeling.

If airport TSA or customs can access keys on the device, I no longer see the use in it. May prove to be true with other devices later but I ordered the Ledger nano s.

Stop spreading FUD.
Sorry you had to read through my.... FUD. I'ts my FUD and I do with it what I deem relevant. Thanks for the update on the Trezor. From what I had read and watched, it looked like a physical hack/backdoor dump. I didn't know the software patch solved the issue. I might still consider it a relevant concern for someone traveling often.

As expected, it seems we move carefully through the 3k range and likely more carefully through 4k. Great news is that there's at least some groundwork support through the 3k range we previously didn't get much of and prices have held very well all the way through so far despite some attempts to dump. I'm expecting strong confirmations before entering 4k based on recent sentiment of the market.

Wondering if some of you might share links to some of the better bitcoin-crypto-blockchain introductions/education for those who are interested in it for the first time.
I find myself in a growing number of conversations about bitcoin and although I've gotten better at expressing my views and beliefs with it, the impact doesn't roll off the tongue as well as public speakers and professional writers are able to target.
I'd like to have a small arsenal of videos/articles, etc. which I could fire out to those interested for the first time. Perhaps you have such collection?

Something I find most amusing is the process whereby a given hypothesis goes from being patently absurd to irrelevant truth overnight.
One day the theory is so ludicrous that anyone espousing it is clearly insane, then the revelation comes out and suddenly the truth of what yesterday was proof of lunacy is suddenly old news, or just no big deal.
I have had many opportunities to be amused by this.

My feeling is we've got to test 4100 for confirmation before another move can be made. If that does not hold which I suspect it should, 3800-3700 could be the next stop. I'll fill my boots with cheap coins so either way I'm happy.
BCH continues to sink lower. Currently .086 or $366 and likely to go lower with that trend. Probably bounce nicely approaching ETH @ .069 before a further move.

Looks like a nice bounce out of 4100 range as I had previously posted and hoped for. There are 3 or 4 previous strong resistance points that have turned into support around 4120. Anyhow, happy to wake up and see some green rocket fuel.
As usual, hodlers relieved and shorts chasing the train.
BCH still mesmerized by gravity .082 and I might take a small position on it if it starts to get into price parity with ETH (for the psychological bounce) although those big walls at .02 are not so reassuring. Or just let it die. Hmm...

Yes, real inflation rates are about 7% per year taken on a 10 year timeline. I typically look at food and building costs. For me, the costs of both are up 50% and more over the past 2 years only. An avocado now costs $3 each and a sheet of plywood is $45. (canadian dollars)

Wow, $45CAD for plywood sheet?
Also, at what point do people stop paying those high avocado prices. It's just a fruit, lol.
To be fair, yes plywood is $45 a sheet and partly due to recent fires in the interior but........... are these fires and "natural world disasters" going to break anytime soon?
People will pay until they cannot and then ushers in a higher class who can still afford it and this is where demographics change.

Can anyone simply explain why a GPU mined network wouldn't work or be supported? In the future I somehow see users validating the network by simply holding or using bitcoin on a lightweight client. Not that I'd like to fork off to try but something like how torrents work where users validate the content. GPU mining sounds like a step in that direction although I have no real technical understanding on the matter. I suppose that's what I'm asking for and I'd rather hear it here than on a fanboy page.

Of course gpu mining would work for a time. What do you think Litecoin is? Its a btc fork which uses gpus. At least that was the plan until scrypt miners were born.
But lets say BTC switched to GPUs only tomorrow. The mining farms would just switch out their ASICs for GPUs and your back to square one.
The problem is POW and another solution will have to come at some point
Is it not correct that ASIC is very power hungry where GPU is much less so? Also, it looks like ASIC miners are barely available at around 3K each and pretty much monopolized (centralized) and a massive risk for anyone wanting to get involved. Would GPU be much easier and cheaper to produce, run, acquire, etc? Maybe I'm missing the picture but would that not take care of the centralized version of mining we have today if everyone could simply use old GPU's or as just mentioned CPU's?
Seems to me that in order for this to be truly unstoppable and decentralized, mining\network validating needs to be put in the average person's reach or better yet, somehow built in as a function of owning BTC.
Maybe things will change when the remaining 4.5 million coins have been mined.

Is it not correct that ASIC is very power hungry where GPU is much less so? Also, it looks like ASIC miners are barely available at around 3K each and pretty much monopolized (centralized) and a massive risk for anyone wanting to get involved. Would GPU be much easier and cheaper to produce, run, acquire, etc? Maybe I'm missing the picture but would that not take care of the centralized version of mining we have today if everyone could simply use old GPU's or as just mentioned CPU's?
ASIC SHA256 product is centralized.
GPU are not.
It's a point.
ASIC = 12TH/s for 1200w
GPU = 0,00003 TH/s for ... 300w
It's an other point.
Security is like that.
I see, thank you for that. Perhaps when we have enough users it will no longer matter how many TH/s are calculated if everyone ran a small fraction and its pooled.

Thank you, this also helps. I see the correlation between GPU, CPU and ASIC better now and understand that the GPU route leads to ASIC manufacturing for which will get monopolized and is already what we have.
A fully distributed and secure network sounds to me as easy as the concept of perpetual motion.

Can't we follow the old rule? When bitcoin goes up, alts go up too?
People converting altcoins to btc to get more bitcoin gold, i think.
How does that work? Holders of clonecoin get another kind of clonecoin?
As long as it's free why not.

Sometimes, Torque, it seems like you live in a terrifying echo chamber, and then sometimes, you clearly have a lot figured out. That last post would figure in the latter category, by my way of thinking.
One does not necessarily exclude the other. More people are waking up, and there are multiple levels to this.
Yeah guys, I know my posts can sound pretty extreme and "preachy". They probably come out more that way on the screen than they sound in my head. I'll try to tone it down. I would welcome feedback and conversation.
It's just.... our world financial and economic problems on the horizon are so much worse than most would believe, and the game has been heavily rigged. It's just everyone is living it in slow motion at the micro level, so they don't notice what's really going on at the long term macro level. But I hear them grumbling about it... at work... at the grocery store... at the gas station. Everyone's standard of living and wealth is steadily declining, but they don't know why. They can't put their finger on it. Slowly over time, everyone is feeling its effects. And it's getting worse and worse.
I've taking the red pill. I see it now. But I know I don't have all the pieces or all the answers. Still learning.
You've got some accurate observations and I always appreciate hearing the validation of what I feel to be true as well. What we don't know is how far the manipulation of markets will go. We can speculate that a global crash is imminent but no more than speculation of another manipulative move to prop it up and keep the people comfortable enough to not rebel.
I think it's a tough conversation to have because it requires one to imagine the changes that would take place on a personal level should such events occur. Not many are equipped to hold doomsday thoughts and still carry on in positive, progressive thinking.

I've been trolling my customers for bitcoin conversation since June to get a feel for how everyday people see the crypto space.
Average Joe is now occasionally checking bitcoin price! They may have not invested or learned much about BTC but it's on their radar!
In May/June most average Joe's heard about Bitcoin for the first time, In July they heard a little more, August brought more awareness again and a few questions along with some speculative support. September brought out more opinions and naysayers while the price declined into correction. October is looking like FOMO month.
I think we are now on the horizon of acceptance of BTC as a "real" and "normal" thing by average folks while many new entrants are now learning much more about bitcoin and how it could help shape our world financial sectors.
Its coming faster than most had expected! Smoke that in yer pipe!

Good morning Bitcoinland.
We finally got enough of a dip to get me up off my ass and buy some more coin... currently $5220USD/$6525CAD (Bitcoinaverage). That's back up by more than a c-note since I bought this AM. Seems I caught pretty much the bottom again but I hope I didn't blow it by only spending half the fiat I'd earmarked for Bitcoin. I thought it might go lower so I held half back.
Meanwhile AltCash has taken an even worse beating... currently $318USD/$399CAD (Coinmarketcap).
Feels good to buy for the first time since September 15. Maybe I'll get to buy some more later today. Gotta keep an eye on the ticker.
Nice move Jimbo! Stupidly I cancelled a buy order thinking it would drop further. Oh well. Your coins are looking good with this new leg up.

Yeah, for some reason I'm feeling like we're still 3-5 years away. Financial institutions and other companies haven't capitulated and started integrating Bitcoin payments and services yet. That's when you'll know it's happening. It happened that way with the Internet (yr 1995 - still an obscure niche geek hobby thing, yr 2000 - it was an exploding tech industry).
Also, the public has to firmly leave all these stupid contentious fork attempts behind, and just ignore them. Industry won't touch Bitcoin until there is majority public consensus around that. Again, that happened with the Internet when private corporate Intranets eventually failed and got left in the dust.
Yep, it feels like 1995 (niche geeks and their bitty coin haha) I'm leaving for my winter home in Vietnam in 2 weeks and I'll be asking all the money exchanges if they accept Bitcoin. I think its only a matter of time.
Good point on forks and alts although I'm not sure it will take 3-5 years. People will probably wise up a lot faster this time because of the internet and speed in which people follow trends.

What I like about BTG is the algorithm change. What I understood is that the algo change makes mining more decentral, it's possible to mine with GPU.
A warehouse full of ASICs vs a warehouse full of GPUs, the mining is still going to be centralized to massive farms to maximize profits with economies of scale.
And also there's this:
TREZOR Statement on Bitcoin Gold Fork
Bitcoin Gold is a proposed fork of Bitcoin, sharing its history up until the block height 491407 (around October 24, 6am UTC). As Bitcoin Gold has a subsequent pre-mine period, we do not yet know when the coin will launch.

The way it was described to me recently here is this:

Guys, I know this is a stupid question but I really want to know your opinions.
I'm learning how to play bitcoins just feel days ago.. I'm learning and starting to understand a bit the forks, the influences but do you guys think the bitcoin will drop temporary by today or tomorrow?
I'm only playing eToro so I,m not buying directly bitcoins, so I have buy it to fall when it was around 6010USD per BTC and I didn't see much movement going down. I'm aware that it will raise and that's why I'm trying to make the right decision if I should close it and buy it to raise or not. I'm currently invested 26K USD.
Thanks you guys for any opinion.

Welcome to the party Dan.
Nobody can give you advice on what to do with your money or what direction BTC will take in the next 2 days. Only advice that has worked for many is buy and HOLD. Does not matter much what price.
I might suggest buying incrementally. Surely Bitcoin will go down at some point but it might fall from 8000-6000 or from 6000-4600. Also, it is not certain that bitcoin will only go up. This is uncharted territory.

Just some observations I've had over the past 2 years dealing with fiat as a merchant.
Last year in Canada, all banks became required to deposit to your account first any funds you wish to exchange over the counter for different denominations. Many customers have slowly stopped using cash and now rely almost entirely on a card be it credit or debit.
Today I called my bank to make a large order of 100's for later in the week. Teller: Um... hmmm... ok, er... well 100's are getting hard to get now. I'll put your order down but we can't guarantee it will arrive.
Holy shit! The bank is having a hard time getting cash?
I'm seeing it happen in lots of small ways over the past few years. I think there's a play to eliminate cash in the near future.
If this is even close to accurate, that could be incredibly bullish for Bitcoin.
After the phone call with my bank I even contemplated just buying the ATH and taking my short term chances.
I think we will see bitcoin over 30K by this time next year. Under 10K will sound cheap very soon me thinks. And this current rally might not be close to larger correction yet.

One of the key securities of Bitcoin is that it will not be successfully forked. If such an event were to occur it would mean it cannot be trusted and therefore die and become mutable. On principle alone we must go forward only with consensus to changes from the majority of users not hash power manipulation and FUD.
This will come down to what we believe in.

I thought about that. Should I out him? It's a newb account with like a dozen or so posts. But interestingly, it doesn't fit the profile of a typical throwaway troll account. His initial posts seem to indicate that he's perhaps somewhat young-ish and passionate about Bitcoin, pro-Bitcoin beyond just making money. I know posts can be deceiving though.
I thought that maybe I would just let it lie for now. Maybe if he is reading this then perhaps he will realize that he made a rash decision in PM'ing me and regret it. I always try to give people second chances to make right.

Had to go dark for a few days doing some international travel. Just arrived to Ho Chi Minh and checked in on the bitcoin shop on Bui Vien. They've got a 2 way bitcoin atm machine and a crypto counter buying and selling the top 15 or so. The limits were fairly decent per transaction , about 10k.
This is my game changer. No longer will I need to travel with stacks of cash, dodge or declare to customs.
Glad I missed the Wu-Ver-Wright FUD. Not expecting it to be over quite yet although I'm not even concerned about it. Go Bitcoin!

Hey all, Im hoping some of you might be able to help me help a recent batch of newbs in the community who've found bitcoin investment /derivatives sites. This is the 3rd time friends have come to me in the last few months and I just don't have the research into them to show how they are a bad idea besides explaining that they are not in control of private keys and I honestly don't know how they work.
Here's one that is starting to circulate in a small expat community where I spend time in SE Asia.
https://letsgeton.usitech-int.com While I'm willing to help those who've just discovered BTC,
I believe this type of introduction to bitcoin does not help the community or Bitcoins future.
Any links to well written articles/ arguments against this kind of investment would be appreciated.
Sorry to bring this to the WO thread but honestly I don't post or follow other places and I'm sure many of you have already navigated this.
Cheers

Hey man! Yeah, they have a tally right on their home page, just scroll down a bit where it says "customers served". Currently at 12.8M accounts. It looks like they added ~400K accounts in just about the past week or two. I'm hoping they can average ~1M new accounts per month all through next year.
Thanks, you had found and posted a historical chart as well. Was hoping to see this to get an idea of user adoption on a time scale. If you don't have it saved, I'll just scroll through your posts for the past month or so.

As bitcoin's price has gone up significantly over the past year, its forced me to examine several aspects of my own psyche. Mostly greed and fear. I've been beaten down every time I got greedy and rewarded for holding and sticking to my beliefs.
Lately I've been considering the possibility that the larger unidentified market makers could actually be benevolent and hold greater visions for BTC despite the popular belief that bitcoin market manipulation is used for personal gain.
An entire civilization raised on the ideals of capitalization and control cannot conceive immediately a system which does not aim to "take" but rather give freely to the benefit of all.
It's true that it is not decided what bitcoin will become or if it will succeed but it's evident that this is our opportunity and no others are currently on the horizon.
I think the real success of BTC will be in its ability to change greed constructs.
Yes, I know, echo chamber. Just had to write that thought out.
I'm liking this current ascending triangle. Should break within the day.

Point taken Elwar,
In my case, I was selling in order to buy lower - to acquire more bitcoin for free. This is the type of greed that has gotten me in trouble in the past. Of course you can see the problem with greed in our society and the power imbalance it has created. I agree, greed is built in and I'm beginning to change my relationship to value with the aid of BTC.

This particular ATH should be a (near future) indicator of what will happen during adoption. Markets will no longer have 1000's of coins for sale, perhaps only 10's of coins in the future and maybe not even that. Prices could move exponentially faster from here. I think we will start to see the real FOMO starting now. The next few weeks will be quite the show I think. The only worries I've got are with the big bag holders. Those with 500K coins and more taking up massive slices of the pie. There's a distribution inequality that I'm curious to see play out and it's still to be seen how many are in it for the $ or for the flippening to BTC.
I won't be selling for $. I intend to buy my goods and services with BTC when adoption happens and if that day does not come, I'm ready to go down with the ship.

Consolidation on 10k, the new floor for futures trading is priced in. If we do see a big dive, I'm suspecting a combination of some tether FUD and a back peddling of the Wallstreet futures tradeing. That might shake a few hands.

Currently in Vietnam and yes, there is a buzz around bitconnect here. I really feel sorry for normies who are getting duped into this.
Another observation I've had on the massive move towards BTC and crypto in the last week: The regular folks who've just discovered
BTC are coming in with their sights set longish, 2-5 year plans I'm consistently hearing about and they all understand
BTC could see a bear market, crash to 1k or have massive FUD attempts on credibility. Their response, "I'll just buy more". While this perma-bull attitude upon initial entry is a bit scary to me, I somehow don't think they will be as weak handed as I expected them to be or needing to get rich quick. However, money is still the ultimate goal for them and they're not quite getting the bigger picture yet. I've been linking all the noobs to Andreas youtube channel and suggesting them to start their homework. Many of them have already bought but have no idea what they bought. One guy yesterday: "I bought all three!" Then I remember telling him that coinbase will be the quickest on ramp.
Interesting to follow the new generation of HODLers. Seems they will pick up where many of you have previously carved out the path.

There's been a lot of "told you so's" this past week, well, you know, without having to say it. Now I'll tell folks that 14K will look ridiculously cheap this time next year. Personally, I still believe a $500-1000 investment today will be enough to start considering retirement in 5-7 years.

I've been considering the possibility that the recent rise could actually be a new tactic attack on BTC. As BLB pointed out, exchanges already aren't exactly cooperating to allow larger transactions currently. What happens when the price rises to a point where hodlers can't ignore recent gains. We will see how high the prices go and if this lack of liquidity does come to pass.
I'm not intending to go FUD, I'm actually quite thrilled with the the movement lately. I'd simply like to speculate on the possibility that this is not "only" user adoption of which a portion absolutely is.

So a recap of what I see/speculate on this past week.
Bitcoin gains more public interest and awareness due to price rise while lots of newcomers buy for the first time.
Roger, jihan, Wright and friends collude to spam the network for high transaction costs while shilling for BCH and comparing transaction costs to gain the support of small transaction buyers.
New buyers who bought small amounts are confronted with the decision on whether or not to send their recent purchases to a wallet from coinbase with high costs (currently around $ USD 15).
Many buyers decide to move into litecoin for cheaper transactions thus proving that the lightning network is a solution, at least for now.
It seems Roger and friends are not out of moves yet and I expect to see even higher transaction costs before the market settles this for good.
Summary: we prefer litecoin and/ or high fees to centralized, hijacking b-cash.

Last night I was at dinner with some friends in a cheap "hole in the wall" restaurant in Phan Rang, Vietnam with a population of around 170K. Mostly retailers, fishermen, prawn farmers, and laborers. One of us noticed on the way back from the bathroom that the local shop owner was busy buying crypto on a laptop at the back of the restaurant. WTF! I went to inspect and she showed me her full portfolio which included BTC, eth, ltc, btg, and some other shitcoins I didn't recognize. She had been buying with her life savings for the past several weeks to the tune of about 3% so far. I was surprised how open she was with all her figures and financial details and how blindly the trades were being executed. I could tell she'd done almost no research on any of it which kinda made me a little sick. She wanted advice after discovering I'd been in the space awhile already.
In simple english I told her that I believed only 1 coin matters today and the rest only follow.
The frenzy is real and I'm starting to think that frenzy is all the majority know. It was both an exciting and disturbing moment to see it happening in such a removed area of the world.

The whales with a large amount of toxic asset coins they can't sell without collapsing the entire market have to manipulate the market into a bubble in order to lure in momentum buyers, shorters, etc, to add liquidity so they can exit. The average bitcoin holder is nothing but a whale rider who is trying to profit on the back of the whale's pump and dump scam. So yea, don't get left holding the bag.

A pump and dump is not "distribution". A bitcoin is an imaginary object that provides no real world utility. You can't eat it, you can't build something with it, you can do nothing with it but try to con someone into giving you a real world object of value for it. This is why any monetary instrument not connected to the real world as physical commodity is inherently an immoral scam whether it's US dollars or bitcoins:
The real crux of the situation is that money is an imaginary or social construct humans use to try and gain leverage over one another, and so the further you abstract human trade away from barter, the bigger an immoral scam you have created. THIS is why only physical commodity currencies can be money, whether it's gold, silver, oil, wheat, or what have you. Anything that does not have some type of roots in the real world is a flat out scam because you're inherently trying to con other humans into accepting something of no value for a real world good of value.
You're taking on societies entire value constructs with your argument which is ironically one of the largest utilities of bitcoin today. Borderless, trustless, deflationary, voluntary participation, secure, indiscriminate, and unrevocable. All the things central banking can't be. It offers peaceful participation of choice in the monetary revolution we're seeing today and that sir is a massive utility towards positive change. I participate because I believe this.

You people cannot be serious. You're reading off a fictional list of traits from pumpers like Andreas Antonopolous. It's NOT possible to create a decentralized digital currency, only ones that either start completely centralized from day one, or centralize more by the day. In other words, you're either lying to people on purpose to try and profit from pump and dumps, or you don't know enough about the subject to comment. I used to believe there may be some type of way to fix things, but no, there's not. Bitcoin doesn't even remove counter party risk. The amount of lies surrounding bitcoin is honestly astonishing.
O'rly, that's all you got? Seems like you'd rather squelch any hope and belief in folks rather than support a positive idea in which you certainly cannot predict the outcome and then shill for PM's which are proven to be cornered and manipulated. It's not like we believe you genuinely care about us and our finances. You don't, you just really want to be right. Well, there's a lot of money and attention flowing into

My short term thinking of Lightning network, and do doubt "limited vision" is a separate settlement chain that would be funded via BTC only. An idea similar to tether which will follow value movement of BTC and have an unlimited cap. It would only be created and issued as deposits of BTC are made into the network and able to scale to unlimited users where transaction which would be instantaneous and settled on said network. Only BTC transactions to the network would incur the mining fees and be recorded on the blockchain. All BTC collected by lightning network would be immediately available for public purchase via any available pairs.

Ok serious question u guys
in what way is Btc better than BCash ?
from what i read online
BCash does everything btc does only better
SegWit Coin has far superior censorship going on ...
I mean who on Earth with a straight face can say it's better to have 50$+ TX fees and over 250k unconfirmed transactions ?
Just to wait for Lightning Networks? Which nobody knows if it ever will work and it will create on top centralized Super Hubs which Banks are going to control because it requires a license as money transmitter...

Trying to claim my bglod from Trezor is a right pain in the ass
How come?
In my case it was a piece of cake. Finished in under a minute. In the coin splitting tool I specified the Bitfinex BTG deposit address and they went straight there. Seed not compromised or revealed anywhere. Got some Monero with them at 1/3 of their current price. More than happy!
You are one of the lucky ones to have an existing bitfinex account. New registrations are now only allowed with a referral code, and it's impossible to get a referral code yet.
People without a bitfinex account will have to dump their BTG on a dodgier exchange like yobit.
Another option is to use Changelly. I've used them before, to change some BTG to another coin, and it worked flawlessly.
Use Bittrex, I registered and got the 100k withdraw limit all inside of an hour or so. Got a chunk of BTG sitting there now waiting for the big move.

The altcoin market is starting to show a lot of red. This could mean that they are going to crash soon and the money is going to flow to BTC or that they are going to start crashing along side BTC.
Looking at the BTC chart we are stuck in a very well established down channel. I see roughly 4 hits on the support and 4 hits on the resistance. fingers cross we get a bounce off support at 14400, and then a break of resistance at roughly 16000.
One thing that has me concerned about this correction over the other ones this year is the speed. it seems to be a lot slower than the others, I hope this doesn't mean anything.
I think it's going down slow to create the maximum fear value with all those who bought recently. Whoever did the large portion of pumping BTC the last month or so is now banking on sells at the bottom. Not our first rodeo, we all know sooner or later where the price will go. I've got my eye on the 11k-13500 range as a buy. Breaking below 10k will be an extra sweet buy op but if it jumps back from here I won't complain, just won't have cheap coinz.

It's a kinda strange sense of certainty I get the more BTC is attacked. The high transaction fees and long confirmations is an increased incentive to hodl. While those new to crypto of the last 30 days are freaking out at BTC's correction and trying to trade alts, I've never felt more bullish in my hodlings. In fact, its exactly what I did before I joined the buy and hodl only team. I'm thinking there's a good possibility of some big news around the corner in response to the past several days.
I can confirm that lots of eager "new" investors got spooked recently. Next gen hodlers?

Last bunch of pages were painful, ouch. Tried to follow but didn't really develop a broader understanding unfortunately. Prefer to let it lie for now. Would rather hear more about LN beta main net. This sounds like good news.
Thoughts for short term price action: If BTC price action will follow retail trends as it has largely in the past year, the beginning of January should look quite bullish, comparing it with my own retail sales, seems BTC gets all squirrely in tandem.
Other thoughts: Seems like not many are worried about the SW2X HF (this time around) on the 28th? There were quite a few concerned about it in Nov. but now it barely gets mentioned.
In alt coin news: I can't wait to read the FedCoin whitepaper. LOL I thought it was satire when I first saw. A little concerning for sure but I guess I didn't expect them to just roll over without a fight.

If you are not paying for the product, you
are the product? Go ahead, move your coins (this goes for your clones as well) We won't track you, or target you in any way. There is nothing to be learned from this, don't mind the man behind the curtain.
That's an interesting concept. But, really, I've already been subject to KYC and AML with any exchange I've dealt with. If they come a look'n, wouldn't it be easy to move coins to another address and claim you'd been robbed? Then there's mixers and even OTC. I get your point and perhaps it'll all be so (Duh) clear after the fact but I just don't see it for now. I'm thinking that there's some monetary incentive behind the forkers or attack by dilution or some shit like that.

On the one hand, I agree with you, but on the other hand, who fucking cares?
hahahhaha
a bit of a contradiction there.
Before you get your panties in a ruffle, Icygreen, let me back up my premise with we would need to have fucking well over $100 trillion BTC market cap before what you are saying makes sense.
That is about a 400x price increase from our current status.
Sure it could happen, but we have a long fucking way to get there.
We had a 78x increase in the past 2years, and yeah, that is all fine and dandy - but we are not quite yet sustained at that 78x increase because we have a bit of a dip here.
Maybe what I am saying that there is not really a problem to keep that kind of end goal in mind, but we are a long fucking way from getting there and we should be attempting to enjoy the journey along the way... and also there is likely to be a lot more ups and downs and ups and downs before we squeeze another 400x plus price appreciation out of this bad boy, no?
Sure, it is possible that such 400x plus price appreciation is closer than I think and I am being too much of a negative Nancy, but I do think that we should be attempting to deal with more of the here and now (and does not hurt to have those BIGGER pictures in the back of our head), but the here and now.. .. is a long way from the aspiration that you paint, no?
Appreciate the thoughts. Sure, we could be a long way off still but what's "long" 2 years, 3 or are we talking 20 years? Doubtful the latter.
Since I'm not as early in the adoption curve as many here, I still consider myself in the accumulation phase. I'm quite happy with my meager hodlings and selling is off the table almost completely at this time for me. It always looks like a fine idea in hindsight. Perhaps I'll join your trading trading strategy after another 20X and if that day never comes, well, I gave it my best for something I believed would change the world for the better. For the earlies here who have "fuck you money" ya, who cares? Take your earnings and enjoy some life.
Enjoying life has always been my priority #1 , well before money and I know if the money slows or stops, I'll be just fine.
On that note, I've gotta go kitesurfing, getting windy!

Most I've ever paid for Bitcoin but I bought a bit a couple of days ago on the way down @ 13.6k not near the bottom but Kraken was really acting up and that's the only place I had fiat. I should have reserved some fiat for the deeper move but I did not anticipate it.
That's perfectly fine, that's a sweet bottom, I'll have to settle for the slightly more (robust) bottom. Anyway they all look the same in hindsight. Almost.

All of my friends who recently started "investing" in crypto are 50-80% in BTC and are playing the alt market for either more $ or more BTC.
I wouldn't worry about it too much. The recent influx of future hodlers will have to pass the usual "initiation rights" and whales are most likely orchestrating the whole bit. It feels much like when ETH threatened to take over BTC and the surge of new users to the market at the time. Values will come later and anyone putting significant value in hopefully has done some research. Just another wave in the market. The race to cryptocurrency is an interesting one at least.

And once again ... Satoshi was wrong.
Good to have geniuses like your Torque. Thank you for enlightening us with your wisdom.
Now ... if Satoshi was so wrong, why do not we just rewrite the white paper?
.....
Oh! Stupid Satoshi, you were so wrong.
Quit being a trite tool. It's the reason people here don't take you seriously and many have you on ignore.
It doesn't matter what Satoshi originally envisioned as Bitcoin's proposed/intended usage, it only matters how the people that buy it
actually use it. It saw almost nil usage as a currency even back when transaction fees were low. Disregarding transaction fees and long confirmation times, it's deflationary nature alone, combined with all the hoop jumping required just to acquire it, nearly kills it as a daily currency. It functions much better as a decentralized digital asset that stores value. That's a fact and nothing you can allude to wrt "Satoshi's original vision" can change that.
Even pre-teens and teens use paper currencies around the world on a daily basis, but hell they can't even purchase Bitcoin without being 18+ yrs old and having a drivers license and a bank account first. How about that fkn irony, Satoshi? Should we add an addendum in the white paper for that too?
Grow the fk up and quit making tool statements.
Torque, you're wrong. People need a coin. Having a decentralized asset, outside the influence of governments, of course it is important; but for ordinary people, it is much more important to have a decentralized currency.
I do not agree either that bitcoin was not used as a currency. The great success of bitcoin came from the hand of black markets. The world could see that it was a real, useful alternative, and outside the influence of governments. And if it were still cheap to make payments, I'm sure the commerce would continue to develop.
Until recently, we saw an organic development of the ecosystem, in which savers, traders, commerce, investors grew symbiotically. Today, commerce has no alternative, and simply bitcoin is being used as an asset for the speculation of the new rich.
I have already told my experience here many times, but Bitcoin for me and many other people, in a third world country, represents much more than an asset. And that is the vision that I always discuss, because here it is much more important to have decentralized money. The rich already have hundreds of assets with which to have fun, and it bothers me to think that bitcoin becomes one more of them.
Edit:My first bitcoins I bought them on the street, without a bank account.
For the other two comments of shit, I do not defend a dogma, but a vision. I like the side chains, but it seems to me that the blockchain must be accessible to anyone.
I get what Torque is pointing at.
Here's a quote from Andreas book that lays it out plainly and I tend to agree.
"Bitcoin isn’t currency. That’s a really important thing to realize. Currency is an app that runs on the bitcoin network. Bitcoin is the internet of money, and currency is just the first application."
So... considering this, is everyone right?

OK, OT Story time since I haven't got much to offer on short term price direction although I have continued to buy all the way down with new fiat.
A few days ago I got a message from one of the Vietnamese restaurant owners who recently started "investing" in crypto. She wants me to come speak to her and her friends/family about bitcoin and crypto. A seminar of sorts I suppose or perhaps just Q&A. She's been pushing me to do this for awhile now and I haven't been keen on it - I don't consider myself a substantial BTC knowledge bank and feel even more inadequate to offer any trading advice which I suspect they will want. I've barely overcome my own skepticism of price movement/manipulation.
Anyhow, seeing as there is not much information available in Vietnamese, (only 1 smallish thread on this forum) and many of the folks out there are going at this without any sort of vision minus the "get rich quick" mentality, I've agreed to have a talk with the folks who are interested and share a broader vision I've come to appreciate in BTC
I feel like I need to be especially careful in this country now that BTC is not favored upon by the local government. (As of Jan.1st it is illegal to make payments for any goods or services in Vietnam using crypto. A fine of $6600-$8800 is imposed for violations.

BTC gains from 10-20K freaked me out a bit. I think its a great thing that the newbies think of bitcoin as "too expensive" or "already had its run". Crypto space today feels uncannily similar to the dot com boom. We all know a few of them made out really well when the dust settled.

I know this is off topic, but it appears someone spammed the BCH mempool, recently. It appears some of the pools are electing to only mine 1MB blocks, others 2MB blocks and a couple the full 8 MB blocks.
https://cash.coin.dance/blockshttps://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/cash/#24hWhat's the point of having big blocks when one of the mystery miners will only mine 1MB blocks?
That 35K BTC whale is still sending out huge batches of "spams" to BTC chain since Dec. 20, 2017. You know that's the day when Coinbase decided to list BCH in the middle of night with nothing more than a twit and 1 hour notice on blog, and a certain someone go on CNBC and said that BTC is useless and people should keep their BTC on exchange just in case that miner decides to switch off on mass, and satoshilite decides to twit that he had sold all his LTC holdings, and of course that is also the start of correction from 19K+.
I guess someone had finally decided that everyone can play the same game, except that instead of costing that 35K whale around 500K~1.5 mio fiatcoin per day to "stress-test" the BTC network, it actually cost zilch to do the same to even 8 MB chain. Ironically, over 2K BTC fee spent so far on stress-testing actually make the fee market and BTC tx count look far better than it really is. It didn't do jack to the "true vision of Satoshi" chain except to make people "fee arbitrage" to ETH and XRP, with some to LTC.
Of course, at the current burn rate, that 35K BTC whale can keep this up for more than a year if he doesn't mind blowing away all those BTC on fees. Even then, it is still possible to pay nominal tx fees and then pay those "out of band" fee via fiatcoin to various mining pool accelerators to take up space in the next block. So people can play this war of attrition as long as they have the BTC, fiat, and willingness to do so. But in the end, I suspect that it is still going to do jack, not getting even some personal satisfaction or schadenfreude from all these money that could have been simply used to pump own ALT coin.
Imagine if that 35K BTC whale spamming the network was one of the mining cartels. I'd imagine it might even be profitable. Spend XXX on spam transactions and receive XXXX on high cost transactions. We need an ASIC killer me thinks. Hope lightning will be the one and it is secure.

BTFD @ 82xx. Finally a buy that goes green right away. No matter the direction from here, I'm quite happy with coinage below 10K. Seems cheap to get >.01 bitcents for my Benjamins. Those Benny's are not worth what they used to be and I expect that slope to continue. I'm feeling far more confident these days with BTC despite the recent retrace.

The FUD is getting stronger, I'm feeling it now the same nervousness from 16k-19.5k. I know there are a lot of people waiting and now considering buying in so the price likely won't get too low or the whales will lose to distribution. Not that I entirely know how prices in this market work but strong emotions have been excellent indicators in the past. I think panic will come with the next leg or 2 down.

Lost plenty of sleep last night watching the show, however, that tough decision to double down @ $6200 is working out just fine. I told myself months ago, next time the price falls and the urge to sell overcomes me, just do the opposite. Although I've only broken even from buys $12,500 and lower, buying the bottom is especially sweet. Now if this isn't the bottom.....I'd be tempted to triple down.

There is something that I find quite perplexing. How come when the support on the order books is higher than the resistance, the price goes down much of the time. In the opposite situation, the price seems to rise. It seems counter intuitive. Anyone have an answer?
the order books are shadow theater, all bogus
sometimes I think I am the only human actually trading
Yes, ironically, walls are not reliable to watch and base any decisions on. However, panic is the wall I watch and base decisions on (mostly my own). And that's where it can get tricky.
Edit: I actually panic more at parabolic tops than bottoms but just can't seem to push the sell button at heights. No problem pulling the buy lever at any time.

I'm very interested in GPU mining discussion and bitmain centralization.
As bullish as I've become on bitcoin due to learning about the fundamentals from here and others, it still lacks a pure decentralized method that would put me at ease. I think mining needs to be much more simple and perhaps built into wallets. Sort of like running uTorrent or similar p2p network where information is shared and validated among users. It seems GPU mining could be one answer in diluting the mining cartels.
If BTC is not validated and mined natively between users, I fail to understand how we can achieve true decentralization.

Regarding this POW problem, instead of replacing the SHA-256 POW by something else, we could change Bitcoin so it accepts two POW algorithms at a time, lets say a CPU one and we keep SHA256 also, each algo having its own difficulty, a block being valid if signed by either algo.
This way ASICs would have to compete with CPUs with a fair ratio, and probably disappear after some time because of the costs.
Nice thought! It's fairly clear that the current ASIC mining industry will change in the future. I wonder if this could be done in soft fork fashion?

I'm still looking at 12 and 13K as the resistance to break before saying goodbye to the 10's. I think we are/have seen the psychological resistance that was expected in December before the gamed pump. At least it feels a bit more organically rooted for now.
A question running through my mind for the last few months:
For a society so used to a somewhat stable money value, what will be the effects of volatility in the masses? What I mean is: Having something I believe is sovereign money, although volatile, continues to change my relationship to traditional paper money and bank digits (taking a back seat). When the masses come to accept this, I expect some drastic reality shift I can't quite imagine today. Maybe it's not yet a question that can really be answered today. Maybe better, How has your relationship to money changed since bitcoin? Too serious?

If you've got something good to say or have some entertainment value, yeah, we will read it.
I say we tokenize merits with some real world value. That would get the ball rolling in here. Steemit? Or since we're a BTC community, maybe we could open a channel on the LN network and issue xxx Satoshi's instead of WOsMerits? I'm sure we could get donations for such a cause.

Yeah, let's do a whitepaper and an ICO lol
Seriously now, I think the Merit system is working but the effects will take some time to notice. Here in the WO we are somewhat inmune to what happens in most of the rest of BT. Pointless shitposts are everywhere. They just open hundreds of pointless new threads like:
- Will Bitcoin go up or down?
- Will Bitcoin reach 12K in two weeks?
- Why is Bitcoin going up?
- Why is Bitcoin going down?
- Why is Bitcoin not going up?
- Why is Bitcoin not going down?
- Why is Bitcoin not going up or down?
- etc etc...
A full fucking thread for each of those pointless questions.... and then, you see tens of pointless posts "answering" the question with absolutely no real reasoning. Everything to increase the post/activity count to rank up and join signature campaigns.
It's disgusting.
Maybe now, when they start to notice their previous modus operandi is not giving them the expected results (rank up) they will back off and the number of pointless shitposts will reduce significantly.
Yeah, here we do also have our own offtopic, sometimes even pointless but humorous posts, but it is all mostly done in good faith and not just for the sake of increasing post count.
I don't really think there is a need to incentivise the "accumulation" of Merits. It's usefulness is more as a deterrent for shitposters to keep with their (now) pointless activity than for regular good standing members to seek them for really no reason.
Also, if Merit had any real "value" people would start trading them.... overriding it's intended purpose.
I wasn't really suggesting to do an ICO. Actually far from it. I do see where you're coming from and I still think it would serve us and the entire community. If we actually USED BTC within BT (wow mind blown), supporting LN while incentivizing quality posts, new participants to join,etc.
I'd prefer to see something along the lines of.... (simple version)
*BTC donated
*Satoshi's issued to members under a smart contract where they can only be given to other members but not withdrawn to an address.
*Only Satoshi's that have been given can be withdrawn or re-given freely
OK, I do see where this could get taken advantage of but but... steemit did it?

Maybe the price is staying in this range because most of the newcomers since December bought between 15-19k range. There's a big percentage waiting to break even and perhaps exit after realizing that they don't have the stomach for volatility. Whales may be teasing the price to an "acceptable Loss" range before an eventual retest of the ath. Who knows when that'll be but I suspect it'll be when nobody longer believes it can get there again. Rinse and repeat to new ath perhaps.
I wish I could go more than half a day without checking on price. And I don't even trade so it's of no consequence to me other than excitement of a pump or btfd.

I am pretty sure you can game the tax systems by “earning” all your income while offshore or in a tax free jurisdiction and not staying in any particular Western country for more than 179 days [does not work for US citizens]
So fly to Dubai to cash out your BTC and then go skiing for a couple of months, rinse repeat.
The problem that I have is specifically with owning property in that kind of situation. I don't want to go from hotel to hotel or Airbnb to Airbnb for the travel part. But if I could just own two houses and have each of them set up as a fully functional base then I would be perfectly happy to just fly over from one to the other every 6 months. Just haven't found anything specific regarding this edge case yet.
Yup, 6 months here 6 there is pretty ideal. I've been doing perpetual summer for the better part of 20 years and its worked out very well.
Depending on the country, ownership of land or house can get tricky, especially in SE Asia it has a particular set of headaches. I prefer to rent/lease long term in Asia which also gives me the option to pick up and go much easier if needed and own in the countries which I have citizenship.

If it really does roaches I'm satisfied.
Foggers are good for mosquitoes and flying pests but not so much for cockroaches. The insecticide doesn't get into the cracks and crevices... places the roaches hide.
Get a decent pump sprayer and some Deltamethrin. It's best to spray again after 2 weeks so you get all the eggs that might hatch. Used this on an apartment we stayed in a couple of years ago and it worked great.
Is this the stuff?

I envy your lifestyle.
Haha I see that your neck of the woods is ankle deep in shit. Disgusting, really. I was depressed by the 12C and fog here, but now I'm laughing a little. thanks
It’s a desolate, godless moonscape, totally uninhabitable. If we had dancing girls they’d be eaten by street-wolves.
Come to Thailand. It won´t be worse than this. If you avoid the girls, you´re home free !
And for half the money !
And you can drive around on a Moped, the whole year. That´s what i´m doing.
I´m blessed. No Joke !
Guys, i really can´t see, why you should end your life in such negative places, pack your things, even your family, and move !
Shhhh.... If everyone goes, it won't be cool anymore.
But really, find a spot that will encourage you to stay active and possibly fit, eat healthy, live simply and cheaply. Cash is still king in these parts so financial anonymity is much easier achieved. Just don't work illegally and as mentioned before, avoid the chicken girls and the exotic lifestyle is yours.

So, what's the alternative to capitalism in your book? Cause I don't see anything wrong with it. It's the only system, if unobstructed, that self-regulates. Everything else is artificially steered by humans, humans that are inherently incapable of seeing the bigger picture of all the interactions in a system as complex as our planet. And so far I haven't even read about anything that comes even remotely close to capitalism.
Democracy on the other hand... is just the opposite extreme of authoritarian regimes and ultimately not much different.
capitalism feeds the human greed that's the biggest issue i see with it... That greed then leads man to make immoral decisions. The more power you have the better are the chances of you getting away with the crime...
Surely I don't have a working model for humans to follow vs. capitalism and I agree with Thekool1s, greed and power seeking are the largest problems. Greed and power separates us fundamentally.
I'm not sure how long but I don't believe capitalism will exist far into our evolution. I think our unique ability to be conscience of ourselves will ultimately lead us back to hive mind where 1 is no more important than another and in fact its critical that all participate selflessly and simultaneously. Sort of like ants. Fire-ants if you like
or bees. Sure, there's a queen but shes not an authoritarian figure but responsible to create the strongest and most efficient community for the whole. Quite contrary to our current and historical attempts.
Humans cannot possibly evolve without passing through this simple and fundamental value of selflessness.
Democracy suggests that the majority will pass a vote. Compounded with greed (capitalism) leads to corruption and ultimately tyranny where only division is possible. Currently humans are the biggest joke on the planet although we are unique in our ability to be self aware and pursue individual free will (tainted by our own constructs of democracy and capitalism).
Hive mind in my opinion is the only way forward and when we start to become this, those previous constructs will dissolve.

This will likely classify your crypto purchases for tax collection agencies. Maybe I'm just overthinking it?
Dear Icygreen,
please follow this quick tip, to get the best possible Bitstamp experience:
When sending a deposit to Bitstamp from your bank, please write your deposit reference number and the words "investment deposit" as the remittance / transfer information.
Therefore, the transfer message should look like this: 123456789012 investment deposit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBgFGwJA1D0Why does he have a gun to his head in the video preview.
Is he shitting himself this much he will lose his bet for bitcoin to reach $$ by end of the year now?
-He still thinks bitcoin will reach $1 million by end of 2020.
-He no more remembers his prediction of $78000 for bitcoin by end of this year.
-He is still very much optimistic about crypto-currencies and constantly repeated that it can't be stopped.
-Overall, McAfee hasn't reversed his stance on bitcoin.
-He likes guns (and making styles with it).
The video is an hour of watching John scratch himself. Whatever he's taking isn't bringing better health. Seems to me he stopped caring a long time ago. He's still got uber bullish predictions but he's not to be trusted.

I am struggling to understand why you need to to physically go to the bank in first place. What's the reason for not using online access for a wire transfer?
MY bank (credit union) does not have an online access for international wire transfers. I can start an email request for it but then comes all the identity confirmation tasks and such. Best way is still to walk into the bank, wait in line, manually type in all the necessary information, codes, names, addresses, etc. then wait a bit longer while they sort out an unexpected problem. A day or 2 later the wire finally sends and I cross my fingers that its not rejected.
Now wait 3-5 business days for it to land in the account.

Remember that wire transfer I sent over 3 weeks ago. Well....Fuck.. still hasn't arrived. I found a typo in the account number made by the teller and even after fixing that, a week later it still hasn't moved.
More time out of my day today to sort through this, probably having to reverse the transaction, pay to do so and wait for it to come back only to try again.

How can one explain the claims that the current price of Bitcoin is too high and not sustainable, given that only 1% of the average Joe that heard about Bitcoin knows about ethereum (at least from my personal observations)? And if Bitcoin didn't go south, ethereum would have easily sustained that market cap. I have only one word: manipulation!

Ground zero check in.
I continue to drop a crypto or bitcoin comment into the public during my show sales when appropriate (usually seen as a joke). I find it very interesting to track public opinion on the subject. Compared to 1 year ago, now everyone has heard of cryptocurrency and bitcoin although the majority of the herd still avoid it or make confused comments. There's approximately 5% who will engage openly with interest or share stories of friends who took the leap. 5% is 500% greater than last year's results of this same experiment. It's pretty clear that the public is aware of cryptocurrency but largely fearful of it.
I'm not sure what short term action we will see but I'm feeling fairly positive that the next big ATH run up will appeal to a much larger audience and one which will be harder to ignore. Realists, preppers, anti establishment crowds, economists, hedge funders, and the average diversivied investors will likely be the next group to find the value in BTC fundamentals which is probably 3x or more the current community.
Also worth noting, cash in Canada is clearly a planned obsolescence in short order. I now receive less than 20% cash where only 3 years ago it was 50% and 8 years ago it was more than 70%. I'll be funneling 10% of my yearly net into BTC as long term savings and as a hedge against fiat's crumbling value.
Its funny but not haha funny how people just accept the changes these days. I still believe BTC IS the peaceful revolution of the people.

4000 years ago I believe gold did serve a purpose other than storage of wealth. Gold was used to cap the great pyramids for reasons we still struggle to understand today.
I once saw a strange meteorite piece under a microscope at the Tucson Gem show which had many perfect 4 sided pyramids each capped with a small dot of 24k gold. Completely natural. That experience bent my mind.

Good news! The wire transfer I sent at the end of May finally arrived to the recipient today after sooo many emails and an in person visit to my bank.
Due to this kerfuffle, I decided to sign up with an online payment processor recommended by my credit union (paylinebyice) only to find out after funding the account that they wont transfer to bitcoin related accounts.
While I was at the bank dealing with the stuck transfer I also made a new transfer to bitstamp at the same time. Sitting with the manager, the irony was strong and I asked him if there was any crypto talk on the inside circles of the bank. He simply said that they see it coming on the horizon but can't see how or when it will arrive.
Not that anyone cares but that's what I got this fine Thursday.

I just noticed the poll is outdated. I guess everyone is too depressed to care.
I guessed 7k-7.5k, not bad. No depression round here, just waiting for the ball to stop bouncing and find a decisive bottom. (or have we?)

Man, the financial system is so ridiculous. I just got off the phone with a new currency exchange company I've been trying to use (paylinebyice)
Not only will they not send funds to bitcoin related companies but they wont do Russian RUB transfers also. Guess what, those are the only transfers I make regularly. Such BS! I wouldn't be so pissed if they had just told me NO but they strung me along for over a week gathering ever more details about the recipient just to call later and say sorry.
You'd think I'm making this shit up but no. I'm really starting to see how permissioned fiat currencies are. Why do I have problems with every-single-wire-transfer-ALWAYS? I'm so ready to watch this system slip into obsolescence.
BITCOIN...SIC BALLS!!!Rant over now I gotta go in person to the bank to try another approach.

INFP
Classic r0ach trolling:
INFPs are guided by their principles, rather than by logic (Analysts), excitement (Explorers), or practicality (Sentinels). When deciding how to move forward, they will look to honor, beauty, morality and virtue – INFPs are led by the purity of their intent, not rewards and punishments. People who share the INFP personality type are proud of this quality, and rightly so, but not everyone understands the drive behind these feelings, and it can lead to isolation.

Eth has dropped close to 10% today,
it's pretty shocking, I thought eth would be pretty pegged to btc.
What's shocking is the length of time it took the market to realize how absurd alts are. Not holding any alts, just enjoying the show.

Let's all hit the 'buy' button at exactly the same time, k? Short squeeze on 3.
And a 1... and a 2... and THREE! GO!
Let's all set buy orders at our chosen price point between $5,750 and $5,850, and let's all attempt to buy at least .25 BTC (alternatively attempt to buy at least .1BTC). I am able to comply with the buying at least .25 BTC in that price range.
If you can buy more, then GREAT, but buy as much as you feel comfortable, even if the amount happens to be less than .1BTC....
I suppose even .01BTC would help, too, if we all "chip in" together.
My orders are set but even if we all "chip in", I don't think we have a chance to control any price action against TPTB. I woulda thought that the surge from Turkey might have an impact on price but even that's not playing out very obviously.

Such an ambiguous place to make decisions but I'm sure "the market" will move away from whatever the majority choose. HODL = down, SODL = up, BTFD = moar down
All the coins have been slammed down to the previous liftoff points to just before the majority of Joe public got involved late last year.

A good doco (well spotted) but you can't help the feeling of deja vu:
Massive corporate fraud to rip off ordinary people and the ones who make the money don't give a shit and don't even think it's doing anything wrong.
It's just 'normal', nothing changes. Business as usual. No one goes to jail.
Yes depressing stuff, but I think bitcoin will eventually bring about an honest business climate again. Reputation will be everything, and con-men and idiots will have nowhere to go, except prison or the woodchipper.
The system lapped up the ICOs (and why not - free money) but they don't like Bicoin
yet. They will when they can fractionally reserve it. Look further into ICE / Bakkt, they want to find a way.
You do good research, V8. When you get a moment, check this podcast on what ICE 'may' mean - it's worth a listen:

And before you say 'Bitcoin can't be in a fractional reserve situation' think again. Because it actually could.
Um... Like I'll be accepting an IOU piece of paper to represent bitcoin. It was done on metals but I'm not so sure the people are that gullible for the same trick. Its interesting to see how ICE wants a piece of the pie. They sure as hell wont send my money to anything crypto related as I found out a couple weeks ago while trying. Ha Bullish!

It already happens, though - when you short (as I am sure people here do on occasion), as you 'borrow' Bitcoin to sell. The Exchange credits or debits accordingly - but the numbers are in a database, no coins are in your personal wallet under your private key. It's not a big step for an institution to 'lend' coins it has custody over, or lend them twice and for these coins to have more than one owner. Some exchanges have done this before and some probably still do. Not all the people want all their bitcoins back at once, so there are always some spare in the cold wallet.
Yes, you or I will always want to have our coins under our own key. It has always been essential for us to do so.
But other investors would probably rather not. Institutions can just 'credit your account' with Bitcoin they do not actually have, as banks do with fiat all the time - thus increasing the supply of Bitcoin out there (on paper). ICE and Bakkt will be custodians of people's coins (how nice of them) and the ability of them to 'use' the coins to make money by rehypothecating them will be part of their business model.
You may not be gullible, but if others accept paper custodianship, then Bitcoins can be rehypothecated and (more) Bitcoins will be bought and sold that do not exist. ICE are big enough to do this in a much bigger way and the market for Bitcoin may well become just like all the other markets.
And there will be far, far more bitcoins being traded out there than actually exist.
Surely this is a hypothetically scary scenario and we're all familiar how it happened with fiat but we just witnessed exactly this happen with an exchange last week no? The losses were passed on to customers as I recall. Since bitcoin has a degree of transparency in audit, if the people ever get whiff of far, far more fakecoin being traded it would create a run on the exchanges and the shady players would be outed. I think futures are the first attempt at exploring this scenario. I say let them try. I believe this will inevitably only reinforce one of the key fundamentals of
BTC Its TRUST-LESS! No doubt there may be many fooled along the way until this is understood.

there where some pricepredictions from some guys for the end of this year ranging from 18k to 50k, so let's see what happens
And then there's some guys expecting sub 6K. Probably safer to include this range also. 3K-50K is a gamble I'd take although I'd prefer a slow and stable increase such as this past week.

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!
This was my main hurdle and concern in the very beginning. No doubt there is manipulation, really super BIG entities, market makers, or however you'd like to call it. This is the reality of being involved with bitcoin at such early stages (wild west?) But make no mistake, we are all here (market makers included) for the very real possibility that bitcoin will grow because of sound fundamentals, and a growing desire/need for a sovern currency free of QE and inflation. If market makers didn't believe in any of this, they'd have left long ago on a pump, never to return.
I feel life's too short to not be part of this very rare opportunity and I'm content being among the big players who can move the markets. I will mitigate my risk by choosing not to trade on shady exchanges like bitfinex or simply not trading at all.
Those who are short term gambling the market or here just to make a buck are the ones targeted by the market makers. So in essence, if you've got time, HODL is likely the best option.

Who else (beside me) is still unconvinced this is a solid support?
I'm not convinced of a bottom yet but I'm playing it as such so I won't be missing out completely. Anything in the 5k range feels rather cheap and I've got larger buy orders set around 5700. I'm not certain we'd be able to break below 5k easily and my bet is a 5200 hard bottom.

Interesting narrative but I'm not sure bitcoin price and sentiment will ultimately be held back by futures and the likes of things which are not bitcoin and just like the community rejected bcash as the one true coin, we will not settle for less than controlling private keys. It's part of the attractive fundamentals don't ya know. And I think it's highly unlikely that bitcoin could be tamed like this while its usefulness continues to grow with today's power struggles. Probably well written FUD is my guess.

Oh, i do appriciate the positive feedback of some, and i puke on the feedback of some self-acclaimed guru's with "steel balls".
Just like all newbies (yes, i know i am and i try to learn every day in order to lose that sign on my forehead) i just need some reassuring FACTS BASED info that we're still on the right track.
(Snipped)
There's some really great educators out there that may answer some of the questions you have. Andreas Antonopoulos and Simon Dixon come to mind. But do yourself a favor and find the difference between fundamentals and price speculation. Hint, they do not always align with each other but when they do its rockets and Lambos.
As many have said here, holding is not easy in a volatile fringe market and if you happen to be on the correct side of the price speculation in the future, it's likely because you've earned it.

Oh boy they do
For sure they can. But why now?
The two year pump is over, the hype is over, and they know the mETH heads will double down even in bear market.
I watched it happen to LTC when it went from $48/ltc all the way down to $1.20/ltc. The diehards were calling bottoms and still buying all the way down. Then they completely vanished when it bottomed out. Even the original litcoin forum got hacked and went offline.
The truth is, none of the shitcoins have demonstrated any real world use cases. So they have zero value to justify their trading prices. None. It's all pure hype and speculation that is unwarranted. That is why many of them will fall to near nothing.
When I had first come to crypto in early 2017 I participated in the ETH buzz along with other coin pumps. It was views such as yours, JJG's, and many others here that encouraged me to see them for what they were and eventually led me entirely away from the shitcoin buzz never to look back. Feeling rather lucky for that education today. Thanks a lot!

Glad I could help. I too at one point thought that having another coin/blockchain with a differing algo than Bitcoin's could be beneficial.
But then I started to realize that at it's core, all people fundamentally care about is a cryptocurrency's ability to be :
1. Secure and scalable
2. Open source, decentralized mining and voluntary core devs
2. Be scarce and deflationary
3. Store of Value
4. Permissionless transfer of value
5. Exchange for fiat (if necessary), high liquidity
6. Popular with merchants and exchanges
7. Buy goods and services with it
That's it. You can distill 99.99% of peoples wishes for a crypto into that simple, straightforward list. Any other usefulness beyond that list is inconsequential and wouldn't be missed in the world, at all. Anyone that says otherwise is being disingenuous and head-in-the-clouds.
So seen through that lense, is there any real NEED for any crypto other than Bitcoin?
The answer is a resounding "NO".
Those are great core values and I'd like to add a couple I find reassuring.
8. Politically neutral money
9. Monetary system based upon savings rather than debt

Owning your own home is a great thing and often a decent investment for your money and relationship. Sounds like you might not have been able to make the down payment if you hadn't been in BTC for awhile.

Did it, or did the measurement stick devalue?
Nice, toushe, it's a bit of both in my neck of the woods. My original sentiment was one of home appreciation. A solid base to work from, ground, root can be paramount to future endeavours. Personally I was way less likely to invest in anything before I owned a home. So it's appreciated not only with my money but also my time.

As for volatility, I am pretty much waiting for the next bear trap to buy in again. Now is the most uncertain time for a new wave of newbie buyers and people are going to exploit that.
How the psychology of fear keeps people from buying the bottom..
I think this is a very certain time in the market. I think the price was more likely to go down at any time during the pump than now, after it is already down..
New ATHs are what scare me.. all time highsBut when people see ATHs they feel brave and greed?
Totally nerve wrecking for me also (watching the price rocket waiting for the consequences.)

With this difficulty there's close to 0% chance for ever getting back to $3000. Yes, electricity prices * difficulty are not directly correlated to BTC price, obviously, but no miner can afford to subsidize electricity costs to BTC network. You can not operate with a long terms loss, they will simply:
a) turn off the machines, or
b) stop dumping immediately what has being mined, making permanent bottom on break-even price level.
Guess which one is more likely to happen.
Bitmain just announced that it has finally developed a better ASIC chip. It will be 42J/TH. Bitfury also announce that they have a new ASIC chip which gets 55mW/GH.
https://www.coindesk.com/bitmain-ceo-announces-new-7nm-bitcoin-mining-chip. I put in some figures, and it appears at the current difficulty and 5 cents/kwH price in China, that brings the electricity cost down to less than $1,500 USD to produce 1 BTC. If the difficulty doubles, it will still be less then $3000 USD to produce a BTC. And I suspect some of the larger mining farms in China are getting a better deal than 5 cents/kwH. Therefore, the break-even floor is going to be lowered.
However, I really don't think BTC is going to go much below 5000 USD. After all,
Bitcoin core just patched up a major bug that was present for almost 2 years, and the market responded like it was just noise. Kinda concerning really. Is that last bug and we're all fixed now? Whew!
Inflationary bug? First I've heard inflation was actually possible for btc.

Nah, not in this thread anyway but you might suggest it over at r/BTC for the lulz
Do you guys like Deribit? I only just got into it but the interface is so confusing. I can't set the leverage? Is it always on 100x? Someone explain cross margin and sub accounts to me.
I have never used Deribit, so I don't know about sub accounts. The term "cross margin" usually refers to the fact that your margin (deposited funds) is shared among all open positions, so the actual effective leverage depends on your total margin amount and the total size of all your positions - basically, total_positions/total_margin.
I actually also have my doubts too, as it is only in beta... So I am guessing isolated margins are what the sub accounts are for... And while I hate Bitmex for its shitty overloading and "dox" times when nobody can get to their positions while they get liquidated during a mysterious dump or pump, or the ADL, I still think its the better option right now.
If only they would get better hardware and fix their shitty overloading issues. How hard can that be? Obviously they don't want to.Even the exchanges have no idea where this beast is going on the short term. Down time seems strategically planned for of some of the exchanges. I used to dabble trade on poloniex until it became obvious to me. Bitstamp has never gone down on me (and they also don't offer leverage) but I'm not really here for the short term trading anyway.

It wasn't just pants from your side of the pond, he took trousers from me over on my side. If it was scam, it was a multinational scam in
different lower garment currencies.
I trusted the Mayor, he seemed a good guy, so you could be right - maybe when he disappeared, someone else took over and liquidated our assets. Do you think this Rosewater guy knows something? I never heard anyone got tokens or anything, so we all really deserve to know what happened.
No tokens here either, in fact this is the first I've heard of such tokens. Here's what we know:
1. The newly legendary BMB still held all the pants he gathered last year before his recent disappearance on July 23rd.
2. Rosewater makes his debut appearance near the end of October with a sizable contribution to bitcoin kicking off the 2017 FOMO.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg23724498#msg23724498 and eventually claims to know BMB and allegedly speaks on his behalf while he's away. Says he has the Mayor captive but will likely release him in the future.
I'm beginning to think this Rosemayor character could be trafficking more than pants.

It looks like we're going to keep going down.
Hey, careful there bud. I know you got the red hat and all but we're trusting you know how to use it correctly. Bearish comments such as this while "wearing" that hat could be devastating. You wouldn't want to have to eat your new hat now, would you?

One year ago it was Jihan making these threats with the BCH fork (yawn). All empty threats is what I see from the nutty professor but price may follow his sentiment initially.
Must say I've been tempted to get some BCH for the fork, mostly because of all the buzz but I don't trust or believe Ver, Wu, Wright and the lot.
I say let them burn their BTC trying to fly these turds. In the end it will be better for everyone when they no longer have any power to scam.

I heard of bitcoin in 2011-12 for the first time while it was largely associated with silk roads. Living hand to mouth at the time raising children and didn't have 2 nickels to rub together.
Then in late 2016 I met a guy who had loads of mining rigs living in Bali. He told me and everyone else he was processing data for large companies. No mention of coins. I discovered what he was really doing some months later and it was the shroud of secrecy around his "business" that led me to investigate and eventually discover the little known fundamentals behind bitcoin.
After much research it became clear to me that I'd found a peaceful revolutionary tool that aligned with and greatly enhanced my activism. Subsequent bull run of 2017 concreated this.

The biggest catalyst that'd make BTC price skyrocket higher is simply move all your BTC to your PERSONAL bitcoin wallet (move off of Coinbase, Binance, Bitfinex, Square, Robinhood, CBOE/CME futures).
Fractional reserve, BTC lending, rehypothication is a bitch and can perpetually create no floor for prices by establishment market manipulators.
Plus if history is any indication, one these avenues will blow up and wreck the "holders" of bitcoin that really wasn't there because they failed to take such advice.

I'm in extreme distress right now, having a huge panic attack. The money I lost in bitcoin,eth,xmr is very high.
Can barely breathe right now. someone help me Never thought it could ever go this low again, I am freaking out.
Mate, sure, I feel you but whatever, you came to take someones money and found out someone else had already taken that seat and now you're condemning the world for the same evil behavior you hoped to profit from.
The reality here is some of us are invested in an idea that has potential to usurp legacy financial systems and change globalization by way of creating sovereign wealth which is permission-less. The fact that bitcoin still exists today while the powers that be try to squash it is extremely bullish. They can pump and they can dump and they hope to catch as many small fish as possible who will buy high-sell low and swear never to return to crypto. This is all they've got and that's far from enough to stop bitcoin from maturing. I strongly suggest you research BITCOIN and find out why its here - why its important and whether or not you believe its a viable solution for us before you throw money that you need at it. Sincerely, I hope you make it through your panic attack with some valuable hindsight that will help you moving forward.

Well sometimes any of us posting here could talk about percentages or amount or strategies, and the only thing i recall you disclosing related to strategies... such as hodl and buydl of BTC.. and maybe amounts related to games, but not amounts that you were buying or even how long that you have been buying.. even though that could be easy to miss some posts that might have gone over that.
Regarding myself, I have provided a bit more regarding percentages of BTC bought but usually not amounts, except every once in a while I might describe amounts as examples or maybe amounts of some transactions that I have done, for example in the context of debunking claims about slow transaction times and/or high transaction fees.
I've let Mic know what I remember and I'm happy to stand corrected if I'm wrong.

r0ach, I think you just want the price to go lower where you believe the bottom is. That's the entire reasoning behind your tired arguments of centralized transaction validations and a manipulated price on bitfinex. (I believe you also have some real fears about this) You once stated that you believed JJG was responsible for initiating the pump to 1200 by posting bullishly on WO. I think you were inspired by that and now trying to manipulate sentiment the best you can.
That underwater silver position is kinda interesting!
For some reason I was sure your position would be between $6.50-12 but it appears you went full FOMO in 2011 buying the top and then you got salty when
BTC kept going up and silver fell sharply. Let me guess, do you blame the Jews for that? Shilling for silver makes more sense now.

Since the price is down and there’s panic in the air, I thought I’d revisit my convictions in hopes it may help someone in whatever way.
BTC is an act of resistance and resistance entails suffering, it requires self sacrifice and excepts that it may be destroyed. Bitcoin is not about happiness or money, it is not rational, it’s about freedom. For me bitcoin is almost a religious experience in a way that I achieve a personal peace knowing I resist evil. Namely the 1% who seek globalization of corporations through capitalism. In today’s world it is abundantly clear that capitalism consumes immeasurable amounts of life from the bottom up leaving slavery and destruction in its wake. It is destined to implode with the absence of new markets to feed from and drag the majority into debt and despair. Bitcoin is the only idea I’ve seen which by design attempts to correct economics out of balance.
Until a time where bitcoin no longer serves to liberate, I #HODL

Ok, fourth leg down since 6.4K... this is beyond ridiculous....
And what worries me the most is that I am not hearing panic screams, nor cryings, nor anything. Are we fucking still in denial phase?
There's no denial, you know why? 20K did not happen with a single hand. The nest has been kicked. All eyes are on entry points.

That’s true. No one else in the world was born on the same day as me.

I recommend Ayahuasca, towards that end.
This has been somewhere between the dumbest thing I've ever done and the worst thing that's ever happened to me. Drugs are definitely in order.
Funny, I'd say nearly the opposite but agree on drugs in general.

$3711 on Stamp atm
no more waiting, buy your weekly share of early retirement ......................

Well, not officially an issue yet but its been 3 business days + a weekend and nothing. And this is what everyone uses to transfer today's money

But let me guess. Not a single one of the bankers goes to jail. Pay the fine, justice served, business as usual. SMH
In other news, I must still be a poster child for wire transfer failures. Bitstamp's bank rejected my transfer without reason and even kept some of the money for fees I guess. I can't help to wonder if the guy who sends my wire transfers is starting to see the irony in all of this.

Is the man tightening on-ramp grips again? Noticed that some exchanges are more difficult to fund recently. Stamp is no longer accepting CAD or GBP transfers as I've just found out via support message. Canadian credit cards have been blocked for bitcoin purchases since the beginning of the year. Quadriga exchange has suddenly moved into exchange only model.
It's getting difficult for me to BTFD. Where's a Canadian allowed to go shopping? Being out of the country hasn't helped much either.

Ride or die mother fucker it'll be like Thelma and Louise, I'll hold your hand off that cliff.
Sent my first Bitstamp wire since 2017. Starting to put some of my fiat bags at the bottom of the cliff. Mustn’t hurry. Hasten slowly.
Not up on bitstamp news? Deposits and withdrawals suck big time. There is a lot of stamp hate on reddit these days. Took me 6 frackin weeks to get some fiat from those sobs.
I don’t visit Reddit. How about inbound deposits? I sent the wire over the weekend so will give it a week to clear and then see what’s up.
I've done the same. Hopefully this one gets through. Have to admit I felt nervous about throwing my $$$$'s into
BTC for the first time in a long time. Must be the psychological jump needed near the bottom

Special thanks to PoolMinor for compiling this list.
After much thought, in the spirit of fulfilling my promise, and to spite all the haters, I am offering to send 0.000777 BTC (to anyone within 20 pages of my boastful post @
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg30630119#msg30630119 - the below compiled list) if you PM me with a BTC address.
My banter was that if it touched the 8's, I would buy beers.
Therefore, $7 / $8999 == ~0.000777 BTC
PoolMinor should have received his TX already via PM.
My sincere hope is that this shuts up JJG, and I get to knock him the fuck out at the $100k party.
Wow Bob, unexpected.

Difficult to know what December 2018 and thereafter is going to bring in terms of BTC price performance, but I am having some doubts that in the short-term shorting BTC is going to be nearly as lucrative as it was in either 2014 or 2018... but what do I know?
The medium to long term price is relatively easy to predict... only shorter term is difficult.
However, atm the price is in a very steady downtrend, so expect more of the same. The only interruption will be the odd sharp rally over the next few months, but the trend is still down.
Actually, I am ready to concede about the bear market characterization of the current BTC market.
If even JJG is capitulating, we might be near already.
Does not mean that I am "capitulating" on anything beyond labelling this dumb ass less than preferable situation that we us BTC HODLers and accumulators are in (at this time).
So are we
"officially" in a bear market now. At 9-12K you weren't having any of that kinda talk.

The price for me is cheap enough. I decided several days ago to start buying bigger amounts again and it feels good to be lowering my average. Could it go down much more? Sure, maybe even 30-40% more but I'd rather be wrong about a bottom than to have FOMO and potentially making poor emotional decisions on the way up like last time. I'm already numb to losing value at this point so some fiat masochism is just fine.

You are not doing much to discredit my notion that you and Micgoossens are the dumbest money in the thread by stating that you bought at the absolute top of the last bubble, held all the way down to $200, watched the price then rise to $20k, sold zero, then watched it crater to $3k.

To me it looks like we are...starting...to establish a credible base here. I still think we need another really violent, disheartening shake before I'm comfortable having any hope.
Its been textbook charts for so long, I'm into more symmetrical moves. Still, the lower we go, the larger we explode. I say the bottom is in or very close. Last time I bought at 3.2K it felt super cheap. I'm thinking another fomo jump is more likely from here for whatever reason.

@ roach, you really have nothing in your arguments regarding BTC fungibility vs PM's. Your claims are pure speculation that certain addresses will be blacklisted where miners won't touch it. That has not happened and it's not even close. Until an address or transaction is muted on the main chain or LN you're just spouting your own conspiracy theory Armageddon fears.
Regarding middlemen/ transaction validators:
I've personally been taxed many times after arriving in airports carrying non personal PM's. If I try to hide them or refuse to pay the tax, my physical PM's get confiscated. It's not possible to carry significant amounts of PM's abroad unless you figure out how to smuggle them in. There's just one example of a realized middleman for your physical PM's.
Today's commerce largely does not happen face to face with physical exchange and if I'm willing to travel to the merchant who is in another country, how will I avoid such middlemen. Do you suppose I should simply pay the tax on my PM's every time I fly?
Dystopia is believing we will all go back to carrying chunks of metal in our pockets again.

You set a target in your life. (That usually happens when you are in high school or earlier. The earlier the better.)
If you are smart, the target should be achievable.
Most people with average intelligence usually reach their goals in life. (Making decent money, having a decent salary job, wife&kids, a yacht etc)
If you are smarter, you achieve your target faster than the others. A lot faster. That makes the real difference. I am not that smart but I can identify a smart guy instantly. Most people don't have that talent. :p
Hard work in smart way will make the things easier than others doing.Being in a decent salaried job is not a good achievement it is same as being a slave to king which makes no difference to being a slave to civilian. Do business and start cashflow on your own by hardwork don't work hard to make someone rich (job).
There are two classes, ownership and wage slaves. You are correct if you are working for a salary you are pretty much a financial loser in the capitalistic society. I don't think highly of people with money because they are usually scumbags but you have to be an owner if you want to be rich.

There will be no pants shitting,
1. The Mayor has run off with my pants some time ago
2. Happy to fill buy orders below 3.1k
But really, I'm almost convinced these sustained low prices are direct manipulation to shut down all the mining cartels. After bitmain and other miners close their doors or are forced to sell significant amount of coins and gear at low prices, only then can prices return, unless the public somehow really jumped on board all at once which is not really happening right now.

I have a friend who has lost everything on quadriga. I introduced her to bitcoin a couple years ago and explicitly told her not to leave BTC on exchanges for this very reason. Oh well, what else can one do? I still somehow feel kinda responsible for lighting that fire initially which I've also learned from.

So here we are, hovering just below $4000 without the slightest sign of FOMO. Everybody just watching without not fucking idea if it is gonna go up or down next, or what it is going to do after that.
So many possible scenarios... What will it be? Bleh, just let it be.
HODL.
Just bought a few bit-cents on the fomo to get this started. But really I'd like to see it as cost averaging at these prices

Bitcoin is the equivalent of dating a stripper...first she teases and seduces you...and you wonder...is it all just an act? or does she mean it this time
or poof! is it all a dream? The drama is the same for the BTC mood swing equivalent it seems.
edit:
The price on my Bitcoin ticker as I type this went from to $4,000 USD just now...er crap...just went to $4,028 and now back to $3,981...wtf?
What was that a $4k 3 second breach? bummer...ack! $3,974 someone is dumping it seems.
I think Bitcoin is more like the perfect woman who has done nothing but make you more wealthy but instead of appreciating her you spend years posting mostly fear posts, complaints, bummer posts, etc, and eventually she leaves you(causes you to panic dump her) to make a man with stronger hands wealthy.
Why not make negative posts about fiat every week and how it has done nothing for you your whole life but lose purchasing power?
Gratitude determines your latitude.
I don't need a woman cause bitcoin goes down on me and fucks me regularly.

enjoy my avatar, fuckers.
i had avatars disabled too as i hated the animated ones. i like static pages, moving stuff is distracting. but now i just have animated gifs set to not play in firefox and leave the avatars on so they display as static images only.. mainly so i dont miss the hats
You know I am working on modifying my hat so its a bit animated.... Better enable avatars when I am done!
There's no point animating your hat, theymos just blocked all new animated avatars.
Animated avatars aren't supposed to be allowed, but I never got around to adding detection for the APNG ones. I'll look into it.
OK, APNGs are now detected. Old ones are grandfathered for now, in part because people have ongoing campaigns, but in the future I might (or might not) go through and remove them.
Whaaaaa... Theymos takes away our toys again

It might be better for my fragile ego if I just resign myself to the status of ever-hodler. That's it. I'm never selling! They'll have to pry my bitcoin from my cold dead wallet... or dead cold wallet? Whatever! Doesn't matter because I'll be dead.

Basically nobody is allowed to go outside today. No cars or motorbikes, airport shutdown, no ambulances, no bright lights, loud noises or fires allowed and for the serious, meditation all day.
Essentially they believe that on this day a renewal of spirit happens and the old negative spirits (demons) will not leave if they see anyone to cling to.

Don't lose your time. What he is saying not only is completely false, but I corrected him a few months ago. And now he repeats it again. The guy has no memory... never try to discuss anything with someone with poor memory or you will end very frustrated.
You are a complete fucking liar. Bob posted NUMEROUS times about how he was making "A MILLION" or "MILLIONS" in fiat dollars from bitcoin. Do you think he acquired those fiat dollars WITHOUT selling the coins? The point at which he made that fiat was very near the top and it's a fact he was telling everyone else to "HODL" while he was selling them. It was all bullish propaganda and "hodl" spam while he was dumping. I'm sure Bob is not the only one guilty of that in this thread, but he was the main one I remember.
I think only r0ach remembers it as such. I remember Bob saying "I have no idea what is happening" as it surged into 10k. Then I remember him saying "I'm gonna sell 1mil worth at 10K" We went to 20k and Bob didn't sell. He mentioned selling 1 mil value again above 12k and I along with others reminded him of his goal at 10k. He agreed and sold approx. 60 coins at 12k then again some coins for tax purposes before dropping below 10k. I heard no such HODL statements during the climb or decent outside of DYOR statements.
You're memory is skewed and selective in my opinion. Bob did make a bullish promise of drinks to all WO's if the price fell below 8K. That happened and he paid up in gentleman form. I assume you never took yours or will?
Anyhow, you claim Bob to be a paid shill of sorts while many of us are thinking the same of you. Fuck me, any more eye rolling and I'm gonna get dizzy. Get a grip dude.

So, predictions. If I am correct that all the social ills and psychological and behavioral problems of our time is primarily caused by overpopulation and life being too easy for generations at a time, then there are only a very small number of possible future outcomes.
The first one that a lot of people will probably jump to is that we simply wait for the boomers to die and then everything will be fine after that. Not going to happen. Things always change, and always towards the left over time.
Other than that, the only option is a violent reduction in numbers. War, pestilence or famine. Given the current understanding of the amygdala, war is most likely to come in the form of a soviet-style collapse. The states will continue to become ever more tyrannical until we have an economic collapse, which will result in lowered food production and a lot of dead people.
So if soviet conditions are the most likely near-future outcome, what to do about it?
Flee. Simple as that. If you stay, odds are you will be locked up or have all your property stolen or simply end up shot. Let the disease burn itself out, and when the rebuilding begins in 10-30 years it might be time to come back if you feel like it by then. But staying through it is simply too dangerous and there is no reward.
On a side note, I have gained a new appreciation for the importance and role of religion during these studies. Maybe a topic for another time.
While I might agree that reduction of populations could be one solution, I'm not convinced it needs to be war, famine and disease that does it. What if the other option included wealth and education redistribution which ultimately resulted in the same. (John Calhoun's rat experiment) A voluntary or subconscious participation in depopulation could leave our hard fought infrastructure intact where war likely would not.
The constant threat of war plays an important role in our eventual decision to choose another option but failing this, war is ready.
I choose plan

CRYPTO CONNECTION
The gunman appears to have published a 74-page manifesto for the attack that is making the rounds online and in which he rambled off inspirations, political and otherwise, leading up to this awful day. After revealing that video game Fortnite taught him how to be a killer, the gunman disclosed that he has dabbled in cryptocurrency, writing:
“I worked for a short time before making some money investing in BitConnect, then used the money from the investment to travel.”
He reportedly used the profits to travel overseas across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Asia, which may be where he became radicalized, according to the manager of the gym where the gunman worked. https://www.ccn.com/christchurch-terrorist-invested-and-profited-from-crypto-scam-bitconnect I am convinced this is a false flag. Too much weird shit that doesn't add up otherwise.

Marriage is a fitness thing. And not the picking up and putting down heavy objects type.
A major survey of 127,545 American adults found that married men are healthier than men who were never married or whose marriages ended in divorce or widowhood. Men who have marital partners also live longer than men without spouses; men who marry after age 25 get more protection than those who tie the knot at a younger age, and the longer a man stays married, the greater his survival advantage over his unmarried peers.

Then how are you gonna prove when and how you did buy the Bitcoins in the first place when the time comes to extract some significant profits?
Haven't planned that out quite yet but I'm sure it'll be a welcomed "problem" when the time arrives. Really though, I'm interested in supporting more privacy in BTC as we grow and I think this is going to become rather important issue in the future. Not necessarily for tax reasons but more for privacy rights which seem to be vanishing at an alarming rate. Bitcoin when anonymous becomes an exponentially stronger tool to challenge central banks and the globalist cabal.

In case you had not noticed, miners have always been happy to mine blocks large enough such that average wait tx latencies were darned near universally next-block or so. That is, until blocks became persistently full, making such performance impossible.
Who gives any shits about what miners want? It’s irrelevant. Same as what users want. That’s irrelevant too.
Either they mine or they don’t. So the incentives for mining are already built into bitcoin. Same with users. Either they use bitcoin or they don’t.
Again, in bitcoin incentives are already well established from the beginning. That’s what makes bitcoin so powerful as contrasted with the various shitcoin bitcoin wannabes.
You do realize miners vote?
The only vote miners get is upon which community vetted BIP they want to support.

To much time and effort is being put in CSW as online as IRL .... to much attention is what he gets
As how I see it, satoshi created an Unique “thing” (where still Some have an other opinion of in how to exactly calling it)
But all of us
BTC’ers can agree on is that this “thing” is decentralized and world changing as we know it.
This is been given by the name Satoshi Nakamoto to the people of the world to use it, if the people wants to.... and is just been given out of his hands to help the world of the past-2008- and just the world of today.
We all know CSW is a fraud, a scam, an idiot and so much more, especially if he try to take on this fight to every single
BTC’er, cause in the world of today every
BTC-believer “HODLER” = Satoshi....
The most nobel thing ever did was releasing this on the people and just let it grow, evolve etc whiteout claiming to be the one created it, this is probably 1 on an unknown number that is capable of doing that (
its just not in human nature a not willing to have any credit for such work IMO)
Now CSW is willing to be Satoshi while we
BTC’ers all are Satoshi.... WTF is this dudes problem??
How can he get this much attention while he Will never be able to back up his lie...?
I’m Satoshi “or i mean a participant of his amazing idea”
Sometimes I wonder what kind of intelligence would be required to create the design, have the know how to implement, and fortitude to carry out such a disruptive idea and then disappear just to let it grow. It would have to be someone with an unusually high education/understanding and great inspiration to fill the role of Satoshi Nakamoto or a group/agency with a high level of intelligence such as the NSA and CIA.
Although its popular opinion to believe it was a single person or small collective, I find the latter possibility more reasonable.

Thinking about Elwar and Nadia's position. One thing we know about most of SE Asia (Thailand included) is that many problems can be paid to go away somewhat unofficially. Elwar didn't hide the fact that he was an early adopter in
BTC also Bangkok Post stated
"Mr Elwartowski was rich from bitcoin trading".
There's a fair chance of corruption in any case here. Turning themselves in receives the greatest chance of this, less likely if the US embassy gets involved first. I don't think the death sentence threat is really on the table but if they run and get caught I guess we'll find out or the extortion gets larger.
Here's hoping he doesn't get extorted, jumps the fence, and comes back to tell a wild James Bond-
(Bonnie and Clyde) escape story purely for my entertainment!
But really, I hope it becomes clear soon for them.

Hello my new home!
If anyone wants then you can join the yobit signature campaign:
https://yobit.net/en/signature/details/It seems they are paying!
For some this might be a dust but some free Bitcoin who does not want
In return for whoring away your reputation and self-esteem? No thanks.
You don't need to. But it could almost be life saving incoming for some. Even if you have to whore yourself a bit in return. I am sure if you NEEDED it for supporting you or your family, you would do it, wouldn't you?
I don't need to but I took the bait. Actually more out of curiosity and perhaps a learning experience. I won't start spamming the WO, scout's promise.

I wasn't going to do it if I needed to change my avatar seeing as the animated avatars are grandfathered now.
The OG's remember how well faucets and campaigns worked out long term. Free BTC you say? Lets see how this ages.
And its 20 posts
maximum per day.
Anyhow, I'm getting a bit disgruntled lately trying to find new entries with a fresh stack of fiat . Been chasing the price up since 4900 and it just wont dip to my orders. Perhaps a new strategy, cancel orders, watch chart, catch knife

Yes I've put the JJG bot into read-only mode for the past few days.
Spring is here and he starts to feel a stirring in his algos, a yearning for fellow bots of the female variety.
It's a dangerous time for him as well as frankly for us; we do not want these things to proliferate.
Look what happened last year; I let the experiment run a bit and we were left with the cryotourist bot, the slammielayer bot, the kingnocoiner bot; all hideous aberrations with their views and dodgy deals and fake interests in shitcoins and counterarguments and whatnot.
Maybe he's a bit emotional and took the shut the fuck up JJG Wednesday a bit too to heart. (Or at least his internet persona did)
I doubt he's upset about anything, dude has thick skin and refused to take anything personally. I admire that, (I think). I'm hoping his absence isn't health related. He had sort of mentioned health complications in a recent post. Possibly heart related?
He'd ghosted for about a week near Christmas but it had different circumstances, some of which earned him the time out.

Any vapers here.
Next week its one year since I vaped and 5 years since I smoked. Vaping saved me from smoking 5 years ago until I got bronchitis in a bad way this time last year. Largely not being able to breathe for over a month scared me and I finished with it. I was sub ohm .12 @ 70w. I can tell you now that I don't miss for 1 second having to recharge batteries, make juice, refill attys, clunky devices in my pocket, have backups, clean juice spills, cleaning and rebuild coils, listen to other people tell me how much worse it is than cigs, look for it because I put it down somewhere and cant find it, you get the idea. Its like I was a slave and couldn't see it. However vaping was much better for me than the tobacco and I may not have ever changed without it.

I'd wager that Muslims didn't even have a hand in this. What could be achieved by a small group of 'terrorists' hurting the public like this? Do they think they'd somehow gain power or control from it, No, not even a small chance!
Now ask the same question: What could be achieved by the 'government' or 'TPTB' sending fear into the public?

They're called ISIS, they're a bunch of fucks and are eating war on anyone that's not like them.
BS, ISIS is a outfit trained and funded by USA and Israel. They are being used as the publics' bogeyman to garner justification for endless war. ISIS, Al-qaeda and the Taliban are all the same puppets. Further, these factions were created to fight each other and destabilize areas/governments.

129 users who were wearing a yobit signature and had at least 1 good report against them in the last 14 days are banned for 14 days. All yobit signatures are wiped. Signatures containing "yobit.net" are banned for 60 days.
Some people were talking about neg-trusting spammers for spamming. This is not appropriate; report the posts, and if that doesn't seem to be working well, come to Meta with specific examples and suggestions.
oh wow
I hope Searing didn't get caught up in that
Searing is a kind of goodie goodie two shoes.
I got slap'd on that. I guess Yobit is more of a hot button than I knew. To me a good exchange or bad exchange you don't leave $$$ or crypto on any...even
the good ones eventually have issues like cryptopia...but in hindsight....yobit...20 posts a day max and $1.43 a post legendary (I did not spam thus got a reprieve only
9 posts in the yobit area mostly trying to figure out how yobit works and why the hate)
Anyway, the only campaign that let me keep my HAT...(damn, thus blithely signed up because of that and mossey'd into the frying pan)
anyway, back to campaigns that only let me in if I get rid of my avatar and hat (alas!)...but yeah...I can see why thermos killed this campaign dead...
serious money/spam etc....but after fees I did on my 9 posts make $12.93 USD
So I guess I can't just assume a campaign is OK if it is on bitcointalk...found out they can be NOT OK and kicked out after the fact.....should have
done my research and had the 20 posts a day ring a bell at least spam wise...whatever...know better now hopefully...
(anyway live an learn)
brad
I got the same reprieve, 14 day ban. I wrote an explanation email and now unbanned. Definitely didn't see that coming but learned a little and I can see the moral argument of it all.
Still don't understand exactly why there's such a hate-on for yobit and the drama that came. Maybe more clarification on which campaigns are allowed would be helpful as well.

Great work. Absolutely nailed it. It is Hoan Kiem Lake. Super fast detective work Icygreen !
The turtle pagoda is visible in the background on the lake, over the shoulder of the girl in the white top, next to the girl in the red top
Hoan Kiem Lake is famous because a turtle god lives in it that gave the Vietnamese emperor a sword to fight off Chinese invaders
Nice one hairy and thanks for the merits!, I recognized the lamp post bottoms and the sandals from the first photo but never been to Hanoi.
Thanks, my detective cap is on today but to no real avail: short story:

The market recently has matured and such news doesn't change anything. In fact, more traders realize that such news trigger short lived bull balloons that pop up pretty quickly. Without ETF, we will see a steady growth beyond 20K. We entered the year-before-the-halving-accumulation zone and everyone who is clever enough, buys and waits at least six months after the halving. That is the reason there are so few bitcoins on the exchanges in the last months. IMO, this is the main reason for the bull run and not some rumors.
In this case you can buy now and hold till Q4 then sell at $20k+ (I'm sure we'll see an ATH this year) which will be a very nice profit. If you're patient enough you can hold up to 6 months after the halving and sell at another ATH ($100-500k+ per BTC). So you can't really lose it's only a matter of how long you're willing to wait and how much money you will finally receive. Win-win
I don't get it
Why is everyone aiming to sell for FIAT? If and when crypto does go sky high late in 2020 then why would you turn to something that is losing its value? It just doesn't make sense. Either you believe that BTC will rule or you don't.
I'm just looking forward to the day (ca 2025) I can quit my job and buy a big summerhouse next to a lake for 0.1BTC.
In about three halving (2028), transaction fees would need to be $20 or thereabouts for miners to stay on BTC and stay afloat.
Feel free to explain how to "rule" when fees are crazy high. It only gets worse every 4 years.
What's the value of $20 in 2028? Inflation will be the ruler for many. All the while Bitcoin proves its store of value strength. I'm pretty sure I'll be happy to pay the $20 if it means I get to keep my value. Second layer solutions (if needed) will be easy to implement.

This week I'm learning to be a better consumer and I've started making my household shopping list on Amazon and then proceeding to purchase everything via purse.io with BTC with a minimum 15% discount just for using BTC!
I will be allotting even more of my funds into Bitcoin with this shift. Probably keep most of it in fiat on the exchange to buy as I shop or BTFD when its obvious. Makes sense right?

I don't shop tons on amazon but I've started buying more things there since I can use BTC and get a 25% discount. I keep some cash on the exchange just for such purchases so I can buy

my 2c about bitcoin and [helping] children.
IMHO, parents should help children achieve what they want to achieve and that's it.
Practically: get them into the best pre-school and school that you can manage/afford, guide their learning and sports activities (in balance), never deny them what they ask as far as education goes (museums, trips, etc.).
I also think that parents should pay as close to 100% of educational expenses (including college) as possible.
After this, the only way I see myself helping is a house downpayment (in expensive cities).
They have to be able to be independent, not rely on trust funds, even if your btc winnings would allow for this in a few years.
Later on, they will get their inheritance, but, hopefully, they would be ready for it then.
I agree and I also believe teaching them to save with their own earnings (regardless of any debts owing) is crucial at a young age. I started a savings account with my son in BTC when he turned 19 with the understanding that it will be a deposit only account until he's 40 or decided to buy a home. A very small amount goes in each month. My hope is that it'll represent/reinforce the notion of personal financial security while the value increases until a time where it actually does offer such security.

Well, if this move up isn't retail or joe public which it doesn't really feel like, could that mean OTC sellers are drying up and perhaps forcing buyers to the exchanges?
Maybe we just have good ol' manipulation from the single entity dood from bitfinex

I refreshed coinmarketcap and see Bitcoin way above $13k....what the heck!!!!!
Seems cool, but it will be below $10k again, and eventually below $1k again. We probably won't ever see the price above $15k, and almost certainly it will never create new ATHs. There are too many confirmed problems with bitcoin as I have verified over the years. China, Russia, and now Facebook, make it a near certainty. Shorting is wise, but not with too much leverage because bitcoin is unstable enough that random and irrational movements can wipe you out, but the downtrend to zero is definitely still on track if you just look at the data.
It must be time for this one again.

hello
I have sold half my coins on the way up, not wanting to go back to so "little" value as before. Now of course it seems stupid to have done that, but catching the top is not my forte. When this bull run started I figured, when my stash is worth a certain amount (one with enough 0s), I'm selling everything but 1 coin.
Now I don't know. On the one end, if such bust and bull runs can still happen, then the logic is to sell at one point yes, but with the goal to buy back later when it will have crashed. I expect I could double my stash at least from doing that.
Then again, maybe it's the last bull run, and once it's down, if I convert from cash to coins again, I will have double the coins, but which will never rise again.
I know some of you have enough coins to play all scenarios, but not me.
When I say the plan was to sell once enough 0s reached, the idea was to get that money out and invest it in something else, probably a mix of real estate and stocks, or just real estate.
Now it seems playing with coins at least a couple years more might be well worth it.
But it's such a wild ride !
Well have fun paying massive tax, being put on on some sort of list, and also get some good lawyers. Biggest reason to hold is that even if your bitcoins are from licit origin, it's a gamble how the government will deal about it.
Also lol at this is the last bullrun.
I bought back coins this morning (at a higher price than I had sold...) and now the magic number I was thinking about might happen today as things are going.
And I have revised this number once, by computing how much income tax I would have to pay to be good with the taxman, that's about 35% tax, so I added that to the number.
FOMO I can understand, but it's also too many people with lots of money they don't know where else to invest in. I don't know such people, I'm almost the only person I know that owns stocks for example.
This made me laugh. Good on ya. HODL BTW congrats on becoming hero!

Right on, welcome to
BTC! I think you should invest time into learning as much about bitcoin as you can handle. Personally I'd stay away from altcoins. I think its the general consensus here that most of them are doomed in the long run. The way I see it, buying any of them for any reason is akin to high risk gambling.

Time for some free shitcoins that we can dump
en masse to pump up this puppy!
I've already earned $80 in free lumens, EOS, BAT & other shitcoins, although I admit some of them are actually very innovative, sophisticated & interesting, but I will probably wait for the next dip and then trade them all for BTC
Maybe I'll stake some EOS since that's fun.
With my reflinks, I can earn even more coins and tokens.
Do this, then you can invite your friends to do the same and you double your free tokens and coins.
If anyone wants to log in to the free coin giveaway with my reflink, I'd be grateful.
Just PM me for the link
NEW OR Existing customers can use any of these links.
Hurry, 2 of 7 coins have been all claimed.
Do a dump
en masse at the next big dip and we can mini-pump up BTC - WIN-WIN!
It's worth having an account at Coinbase for all the freebies that keep coming, IMO, keeping just a little trading money &
BTC in my wallets.
80% of my
BTC is in my Trezor wallet.
https://www.coinbase.com/earnhow long did it take for your shitcoins to appear in your account? I'm not seeing my goddamn free lumens goddammit

I have some weird thoughts.
Is it possible that bitcoin was created by the USA with the purpose of protecting its economic future and global supremacy?
1: create a new hedge for wealth and preserve enough of it (1/21). (check)
2: lead the world economy into ruin and sacrifice the USD. (ongoing)
3: make sure the hedge is recognized as a new world currency. (up next)
4: profit
I like tinfoil hats and koolaid conspiracy so this won't strike me as weird at all and I think its even probable.
It's a great plan if so but who knows what it will become on a 5-10 year term. If evidence ever got out that this was the case... would it even matter at this point?

I just saw one of my Jewish customers who likes to feed me his secret stock tips by leaning over and whispering.
One year ago he was talking about BIG returns coming real soon on a special weed stock and how it would be wise for me to invest as much as possible right away. I told him my spare/investment money goes to BTC and I'm not interested in traditional stock investments.
Turns out he lost quite a bit on weed stocks over the last year but he had another surefire tip for BIG returns for a different weed stock (xphy). I showed him today's BTC price
I tried to explain that it's early still but some people just can't be helped. I'm sure it's better not to have more of this kind of trader in BTC space|.

An update on how average Joe see's bitcoin from my retail perspective.
In person, when customers ask what forms of payment are accepted I often give the usual credit/debit options and jokingly slip in that we'll even take bitcoin just to test the reaction. I've been doing this since early 2017 and it's very interesting to find the public sentiment and education levels this way.
In this year's experiment:
* Not 1 person said "what's bitcoin". Every last person had at least heard of it and understood it as a kind of currency.
* A surprising 20-30% of the people actually made a serious inquiry about bitcoin past my joke! Whaaaaat? It appeared none had done significant research but it was clear that there was a real curiosity and they wanted a quick grasp on the concept if I knew anything about it. Super bullish!
Many times I promised to share information links for anyone who would email me about it with a warning that it could be a serious time sink. I've been sharing fillippone's post as a jumping in point. Thanks dood, nice collection!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5156874.msg51545936#msg51545936 In 2017 only 1 of 3 had heard the name Bitcoin.
2018 most thought of Bitcoin as the world's biggest bubble that had popped or criminal's money.
2019 many are becoming curious and approaching the topic seriously

Probably not my most popular post. Monday morning tinfoil truth seeking.
What is the probability that the US government’s big national secret is zero-point energy extraction?
If the military/government/TPTB have been engineering/reverse engineering energy and its applications in secrecy for 80+ years, would that undermine Bitcoin’s SOV and cryptographic security? Surely the implications of such a technology are too vast to conceive.
I ask this question because energy is what
BTC proposes to base sound money on. There's too many historical and theoretical examples of energy use on this planet to conclude that the current public/scientific understanding is complete. I've not seen this argument debated however I understand its likely to be discarded to conspiracy for lack of proof even while the hard proof is literally in stone.

There is a better understanding. And E=mc^2 is only a partial of Einstein equation.
The better understanding lies in quantum mechanics. And yes zero-point energy is kind of an aether that could possibly be harvested for energy. However the EM-drive that attempted to harness it failed to do so.
And the other point I would like to make is that
keeping that kind of shit secret for 50-80years is impossible.

Antidepressants are evil. I watched 2 of my family members slip away mentally years before the body finally succumbed, all under doctors orders. One got so bad that they started crying at stop lights because the anticipation of waiting for it to turn green was too much. Won't take any pills myself or seek doctor's advice unless its critical. Its astonishing how many Americans use these things. The zombie apocalypse is real.

Ok, whatever. I'm drunk. Rick is out getting his hair cut, so it's story time, I guess...
Mental illness is a very real bag of shit, and drugs are very powerful tools in mitigating symptoms, hopefully allowing for a "more normal" life. I can't remember if I've ever admitted to the thread or not, but mental illness awareness is one of the causes I support; suffering from depression and anxiety myself. Better living through chemistry. I recognize I will be on prescribed benzos and SSRIs for the rest of my natural life, because I got dealt a shitty genetic hand, that we can trace back three generations.
Jordan Peterson recently made headlines for speaking about his dependency on Klonopin during his wife's cancer treatments, and his subsequent difficulties in weaning himself off of benzos, experiencing indescribably horrific withdrawal symptoms, that I had temporarily undergone during the process of my therapist working to balance me out on what works best. Benzo withdrawal is not something easily describable to those that have never undergone the experience. (tl;dr: take all the psychic horror of "Dante's Inferno", and inject it directly into your heart)
I was briefly undergoing a Klonopin regimen, after recognizing that "fast acting" Xanax was starting to wear off on me too quickly, during one of my spirals. The therapist changed me from the Xanax equivalent of Klonopin, and I started about two months of popping Klonopin "like candy" (6 times a day - a bit fruity, if you ask me...)
Anyway, we had a breakthrough after I complained about the dosing frequency of Klonopin, and finally got balanced on Xanax Extended Release doses every 6 hours. I can live with that.
Furthermore, I've recently had a lot of fun getting familiar with high quality, 50-States-Legal CBD vape products, and found stuff that works well to further keep me relaxed, calm, and clear-headed.
As for the SSRI's, yeah, they aren't perfect, they have side effects that are unpleasant, but at the end of the day, I would rather have knowable side-effects than be crippled with depression. I do worry about the long-term exposure to the benzo and SSRI drugs, as I've been on them for a couple decades now, and fear I'm likely to develop low-grade Parkinsons later in life, but I'll deal with that bridge if and when I get to it.
CBD on the other hand, is really nice. Glad that is available to me, legally. Some very high quality, 50-States legal products are entering the marketplace. It will be a wonderful world when THC is 50-States legal.
Keep on HODLING, brothers. Back to my beer. It's starting to get warm.
*hugs and kisses. no homo*
Wow, what a journey brother, keepin it real, love it! Thanks for sharing CBD feedback. And congrats to passing yet another achievement! 2000 merit mark.

I'd attribute living in rural community of chosen family to be the major threads of any sanity I might still recognize. And I must say, mental illnesses are way more prolific in populations of cities and suburbs vs. communities living with ample space in a quiet nature surrounding. Its such a different understanding of direction and belonging.

Doesn't make sense. Flying that thing on 3 engines should not have been an issue. *maybe* they forgot to add carburator heat and had iced carbs,

I'm thinking $7300 will be the bottom of this. I think too many people will pile on if we were to visit 6k again, I mean unless we are to test 3-4K again which I think is unlikely. $7300 will feel very bearish where I expect traders to sell in anticipation of a 6k support retest. Whales will take advantage of this anticipation and move prices higher.
This is not a price discovery market, its sentiment discovery and manipulation. The way I see it is: Once the bulk of traders and noobs get comfortable with price swings and are able to either trade it or have simply resigned to HODL, the price moves up to recapture a new set of noob traders who'll be the next course of whale food.

Why would people investing into Bitcoin be a problem if it were to reach below $6k? It theoretically would not unless these people intend on dumping at the same time in the future which could cause another drop if its all done at the same time but the probability of that happening is next to none unless we have a few whales which buy very large amounts which could influence the market.
My point was that I believe whales control a significant portion of the price action. People piling on at 6k and below isn't good for someone who wants to control price action unless we are to go down from there of course which I already stated I think is unlikely. There are only so many coins in circulation and the HODL wave is growing all the time. Cannot risk cheap prices for too long.
Watch the sentiment. When things look really bad, I mean when everyone is second guessing their positions, its time to BUY! We're getting there and as stated above from another WO, a slow drain down is the most likely to bleed out any hopes.

Just going over Bitcoin's price history in my mind and remembering the last time we fell to 8K from the ATH. I remember the feelings of excitement at 8K even though we had already dropped about 58%. I thought that was the bottom at the time and Terra wasn't having any of it.
I remember her saying something along the lines of, bottom? "Bitcoin is eight fucking thousand dollars, get real!"
Anyhow, times are different now and because we've been here several times before, We might be looking at a new sideways support plateau similar to the previous 6K support line a year ago. I'm not saying it will result in the same drop, in fact I still think 7.3K will be a great discount bottom if we are to ever arrive there. Thinking these sideways support zones will be the new norm going forward at least for awhile. It's slightly less volatile and there is slightly more support.
The normies on crypto twitter are screaming bear flag. Been around just long enough to remember how that goes.
Not really technical analysis because I got none of that but more SOMA of where I think we are.
TLDR? 8K is the bottom, BTFD!

Uhh guys...an asset divisible to 8 decimals (and more with a small config change) is never too expensive. If the general public keeps believing in this myth of "btc too expensive" we will never get anywhere.
Isn't dollar price relation the problem? Most are coming from the assumption that the dollar is king and everything should be measured against it. Several things could slowly change this misconception, ie. hyperinflation, harsh capitol controls, bank runs, or simply where I think we are today in the financial re-education of the youth who likely will never see the opportunities that our generations had. Bitcoin won't be strapped to USD forever IMHO but its anyone's guess how it'll move away and when.

source
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-11/fed-to-start-buying-60b-of-treasury-bills-a-month-from-oct-15?srnd=premiumThe New York Fed’s open markets desk will “purchase Treasury bills at an initial pace of approximately $60 billion per month, starting with the period from mid-October to mid-November,” according to a central bank statement. The Fed said purchases of Treasury bills will extend “at least into the second quarter of next year,” leaving open the possibility of a change in the pace and duration of purchases.
A recent and unexpected scarcity of lenders in overnight funding markets caused yields to spike sharply in mid-September, briefly pushing the Fed’s benchmark rate outside its target range.

Ready for bullrun
I think it's early. We have to wait for the global economic recession.
I'm not so sure a recession will produce the results you're anticipating. During a recession, people sell
everything and I'd imagine Bitcoin to be first to go for many if and when things get tight. Of course we (those who understand the value proposition of
BTC) won't be selling but there are plenty in the ecosystem who are in it for the dollars.

Edit: Took 50 minutes to confirm. Not the best performance, but the fee was quite low. All good!
As long as the fee isn’t super low use this -
https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txacceleratorWhen we were in the last parabolic rise & Roger was spamming the network I sent a few transactions with a fairly high amount of coins & fucked up by not manually setting my fees. It was taking forever so I used the above. It’s a good service & free.
Thanks LFC, never used a Tx accelerator before, but have heard of them. Good to know that it worked when you tried it, will keep it handy.
The important thing is that, no matter how long they take, all transactions eventually confirm, which shows the super-robustness of the Bitcoin network. For all practical purposes, Bitcoin confirmations are "irreversible certainties". And way faster and cheaper than any fiat Tx...
Thanks! I'll save that, might be useful.
I noticed its run by big block community as seen in their solution. Roger and friends may actually carve out a unique spot for themselves
What should we do to solve jam problem
Essentially, the key to solving jam problem is to increase or even remove block size limit but Bitcoin Core developers keep refusing to do so to allow more people to use Bitcoin, regardless of the Bitcoin white paper and signed consensus.
In this case, a group of big block supporters initiated the first hard fork of Bitcoin increased the block size to 8MB, with a forked digital asset born - Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
BCH does all what Bitcoin can and does it better in a more flexible way. What’s more, much lower fees and faster confirmations makes it more user-friendly, following the core principles of “Bitcoin”.
Therefore, we should support Bitcoin Cash and big blocks.

I'm being told that the major radio and TV broadcasts in Russia (Moscow) now cite the exchange rates of BTC/RUB alongside the usual USD and EURO rates.
While price fluctuates nominally the past weeks, hundred's of thousands if not millions of everyday people are normalizing
BTC's place in finance and learning how it can serve them. This is how adoption happens, I hope everyone's paying attention.

However, if the system can't be changed or protected from evil, speculative forces, what would possible solutions for hodlers and adopters look like?
I suppose the same approach the rest of the world would take if they weren't occupied. De-peg from USD. Not sure what that will look like for BTC but for now it appears like an idea, a dangerous one, that is being realized in the minds of hodlers and adopters and backed by math.
For now most are still concerned with making dollars and why not. When that changes towards BTC, it will be felt.

If i dont understand wrong, to supress the price you need actual selling of BTC.
Some morons betting on btc price (cash settled future contracts) cant affect the price.
BUT it seems they managed to get a selling counterpart (baaad whale).. They bet on a low price, and in the other side they actually sell BTC. Then the whale rebuys lower. (rinse and repeat)
Rigged game. They win, we suffer observing walls...
Sentiment can be mucked with from the wall street boys with futures until everyone's either too tired or too scared to touch BTC. That will have an impact on price.

Please elaborate.
To me, Bitcoin is free speech, where I can effectively say "I choose to exit", its my independence from state, my last resort, and my dopamine
Its personal activism on many levels for me and value is becoming a warped concept the longer I study Bitcoin. Some people make large charitable donations for the better good of other people, its feels like that. Then there's the secondary value based on the very system with which it aims to lapse.
Excuse my high pie in the sky notions of peace love and happiness but this is the best tool in the shop so to speak.

Sure, I made 2 posts buying at 7.4K and called a low of 7.3 weeks ago.
I have a Vietnamese friend who's been trying to get a good position on BTC for 2 years now. I originally told him in Nov. 2017 to just buy and hold. Well he didn't and bought high and sold at the bottom of 3xxx
Now messaged me again yesterday and asks what a good entry is. I said "buy now (@7.4K) because the whole world is waiting to pile on at 6k. Don't wait!"

disclosure: Bought this dip twice and considering another. Long term multi-halving HODL
Thought I posted twice, looks like it was bought twice posted once. I did get a third buy in but didn't post.
Just going over Bitcoin's price history in my mind and remembering the last time we fell to 8K from the ATH. I remember the feelings of excitement at 8K even though we had already dropped about 58%. I thought that was the bottom at the time and Terra wasn't having any of it.
I remember her saying something along the lines of, bottom? "Bitcoin is eight fucking thousand dollars, get real!"
Anyhow, times are different now and because we've been here several times before, We might be looking at a new sideways support plateau similar to the previous 6K support line a year ago. I'm not saying it will result in the same drop,
in fact I still think 7.3K will be a great discount bottom if we are to ever arrive there. Thinking these sideways support zones will be the new norm going forward at least for awhile. It's slightly less volatile and there is slightly more support.
The normies on crypto twitter are screaming bear flag. Been around just long enough to remember how that goes.
Not really technical analysis because I got none of that but more SOMA of where I think we are.
TLDR? 8K is the bottom, BTFD!

Here's what I think is happening in a nutshell.
Big money is slowly getting the green light for BTC, competition for price is highly active, somebody makes a first move and suddenly the bottom is in. Large new positions are being taken long term. The stakes are higher. Whomever finds their way around regulations today will have a much better position vs waiting.
Of course this is all SOMA.

Watch out with your words! I was before in Croatian community and i posted there my first TA chart!
My first merit came from my tradingview chart on the croatian language thread. I can show you my tradingview account if you want, it's the same as it was from the first merit i got!

Not that we should care about BCH in here but this will be interesting
One could even speculate the correlation between this news and the big move.
There appear to be some problems with BCH mining, perhaps related to the difficulty re-targeting algorithm. It also appears one entity is now in effective control of mining.
I'm curious to learn what is going on here. Anyone know more?

So I've been mucking around with an embroidery machine for the last week and what initially was an effort to produce a
BTC logo for my hat has become much more. I created these with the WO members in mind and I've thoroughly enjoyed the crafting time. I'd like to share these with all of you if you'll have them. Yes, for free.
Most are ready to go patches for sew on or glue on.
The plain
BTC logos in the bottom image (upper left side) are on a tear away backing that leaves only the
BTC after applying. Some are on on cotton that can be cut away.
Please PM or email me an address and you're welcome to choose any patch you like, (first come, first serve)
If you'd like to preserve your opsec, set up a burner email address and send only the shipping address where you'd like to receive.
wallobserver@protonmail.comI'll choose a design at random if none is specified. Size reference, the large patches in the center are 4 inches round 10cm.
I'll likely do more in the future and I'm open to trying or personalizing your design. Let me know your ideas.
Enjoy

yaah good for creating thread.
Bitmain came through on a previously almost defunct Texas site, the above Russian site and the claim today that Russia wants to control 20% of BTC mining,
bad think 20% fee is huge i don't agree for that.
and a prayer or a pump? Or do they have some government/institutional support now and with halving are making their move.
Everything is very well if government are smoothly handle everything, but problem maximum govt. people have not knowledge management concurrency.
As for the thread...just feels funky....at these prices and difficulty and miner prices and such...what am I missing for this push to big miners all
acting like newbs and putting up miners? delusional? New ASIC's etc? Seems odder than usual in the usual BTC oddness universe...go figure..fishing for
what others think/heard/guess
This the first time in history anyone has ever seen the likes of Bitcoin, It makes sense that more attention is being paid since the run to 20k and the concise bottom at 3K.
The halving is coming, the math checks out, people are paying attention. Mining is still the best way to develop a powerful position with enormous opportunity for mid and long term.
I can absolutely see Russia dominating a significant % of mining. They excel out of necessity.

Agreed, just bought with the week's allowance today. By the time I need to use that coin, it'll most certainly be worth far more assuming it hasn't gone to zero.
I truly enjoy the uncomplicated space of buy and hodl
(assuming that the value is ever increasingly realized). I imagine that trading can be a constant high pressure poker face. For me that encourages a kind of emotional attachment to price swings that I just don't have time for. But, I'll likely be the guy who hodl past the next ATH top and all the way down
again.

Last time I started to be worried and depressed we rallied from the bottom. Not sure if I feel depressed enough already... but it's not that far.
On the other hand I still think we are somewhat ahead on price schedule and that's probably the reason I am not so much worried.
As soon as I feel like the sky is gonna fall onto my head I will let you guys know so you can act accordingly. DYOR though.
I am starting to think we need one final capitulation event (which doesn't mean a lower bottom) before the halving rally. We will see.

Roundup = Glyphosate?
I don't know what the hell you are talking about but... maybe you can be of some use here.
Do you know what I could use to kill a palm tree that is too close (almost touching already) to my perimeter wall and I need to kill it before the trunk breaks it? I have thought about drilling some holes in the trunk and filling it either with hydrocloridic acid or glyphosate. Would that be enough? Anything else more appropriate?
P.S.: And no, I can't cut it without risking it damage the wall during the fall nor am willing to pay the expensive bill for contracting the procedure. I just need it to dry and stop growing.
I've stopped a few things from growing by watering the roots with petrol. don't know how appropriate or safe this is for your needs but it works. I know lighting it on fire sounds logical but don't, trust me.
Let the roots soak in that and it's game over, combined with your hole drilling and acid tests, this tree will be a tinder box fire hazard in no time!

As I understand, mimblewinble is not a coin but privacy developments which were interesting as it related to Bitcoin's development and likely to be on a prudent speculator's radar no? Especially considering Bitcoin's privacy design?

The amount of FUD out there is ridiculous right now. Do people forget how much has changed in one year?!? A year ago we still had not even reached $3100. We went on a run from $3100 to $13900 starting in April to June (A 3 month span)which we hit 5 months ago........5 months. So even if we are in some sort of new bear market, we are ALREADY five months into it......the last one lasted a full year. I don't think we are in a bear market by any means, I think within 6 months we will be in a bullish environment, and in a year from now we will be above $13900, and perhaps $20,000.
You might want to check your time frames again, I think you mean 2 years ago. But yes, pretty incredible. Whoda thunk?

Guys, I've been reading this crazy stuff posted by someone called "Shelby Moore" (whose messages were recently re-posted in the WO thread by user THX 1138), about how all coins held in SegWit addresses will be donated to miners, as they are free-to-spend coins in the legacy (pre-SegWit) blockchain, and only the coins held in legacy addresses will stay intact and belonging to their owners (private key holders). Supposedly, this attack will occur near the 2020 Halving event and will wreak havoc, resulting in the legacy chain being resurrected from the dead and becoming the dominant one, and the SegWit chain disintegrating into oblivion and causing a massive BTC price drop to near-zero.
What do you make of this?
Some more Qs:
1. Is it possible to move any of our coins held in SegWit addresses to legacy addresses (so that they would belong to the legacy chain if the above attack does happen)? Does the fact that, at some point in their history, those coins were held in SegWit addresses, taint them in any way? Would they still be considered as fully belonging to the legacy chain once moved to legacy addresses?
2. Would you do it? Do you think it's worth it?
3. Do these questions even make any sense?
4. Am I wasting my time with all this?
Thanks for any insights.

Buying at 7k in Sept 2018 felt risky for short term and it payed well to be patient until low 3K. Buying at 7k in Nov. 2019 feels like a decent bargain this time around with significantly less risk. Sentiment expects more downwards action for a few days before a slow reversal. Could we drop to 6.5K, 6k, 5.5K, even 4K. I don't know but it seems there's way more room to the upside than downside in today's market where so many new investors want a piece of the pie. The big moves will be done over the counter as not to move the markets and will only be felt long after the deal.

Don't want to miss the bottom? It's accumulation time.

I'm sure Mic is joking...
But...
Always keep several copies of your recovery seed in paper (or other non-digital) form, and not all in one physical place (e.g., if you have two houses, keep copies in both). Also, use a passphrase in addition to the seed, and never write it down, for plausible deniability and also in cases where someone finds your seed and recognizes what it is.
Another thing I want to stress is that TREZOR, Ledger, and any other h/w wallet that uses standard BIP protocols (almost all of them do), are all interchangeable. This means that you only need the seed (+ the passphrase, if you use one). There is absolutely no difference if you use a TREZOR, Ledger, or even a s/w wallet like Mycelium. Your coins are not "stored" inside these devices. They exist in a universe-sized, multidimensional mathematical construct, and you only have a map to find them. The map is you seed (+ the passphrase, if you use one). That's all you'll ever need to access them.
So, don't worry if you ever lose your TREZOR or Ledger. They are just containers of something you (should) already have.
I may add that keeing portions of the seed (wordlist) in several places makes sense, too.
If there's theft or robbery, they will only get away with a part of the seed.
Be sure to include detailed information in your testament.
I think obfuscating the seed by separating it into 2 or more places poses more risk than it mitigates no? If you have a passphrase that's not written with the seed then it won't matter if the whole seed phrase is lost to theft assuming you have a backup or a wallet still running it. I could see where giving the passphrase to a family member would make sense in the case of your passing while your seed or hw wallet could be found in your safe box.
I only say this because there's quite a few people who go to unnecessary lengths to hide their seed words by circling words in a book, keeping half here, half there, mixing the order and other silly ways of losing or forgetting how to put it back together properly. Reckon it's probably one of the top 5 ways funds have been lost.

So hey guys, I had a bit of interest re my art submission, a couple PMs asking if they were available for sale. Well, I have given it a little thought and talked with the guy that actually owns the plasma setup.
At this point I am just gauging interest to see if it is really worth burning a batch. I'm certainly not wanting to annoy anyone or break any rules turning this into a for sale thread, just get a feel for if it might be worth my time to move further. If there is interest I will be starting a dedicated thread.
I wouldn't really be making anything on the deal if it were to happen, but I would want to slip a bit to my buddy. He is an independent maker/artist type and the plasmaCAM is an expensive bit of kit.
The desk ornament/bookend thing from the
art thread would ship for $20 equivalent

Also, there is a new prototype, smaller, that another blacksmith buddy can value add into belt buckles;
Those would ship for $40 equivalent.
At these rates domestic US orders would be slightly subsidizing international shipping and I would be hoping to break even.

By the way:
This week i was up for a visit to the bank. A bank of which i am not a customer.
As i don't really want to keep my seeds and (future) paper wallets at home, i asked for the price of a safe and if the contents are insured an all.
Mr. bankster asked me about the value and physical size of the entities i plan to put in there, so i said it would be foldable paper and a handful of items of the size of a matchbox. When he asked me for the value, which determines price and insurance, i said it is volatile in value and it might be anything between x1 (by current btc price) and x100 or even more in the next 30-50 years. So Mr. bankster said he has to contact his boss, who is the local manager of the safe, who in turn should call me on the same afternoon for speaking about details and possibilities.
I never heard of them again, no call from either of the two.
Well, this leaves me with the impression that safes seem to be a pain in the ass for banks (or this bank only, idk).
I found it quite unfair to base the price to rent a safe on the value of the content. Insurance, yes, that didn't surprise me that much. Seems like they out the amount which was estimated the value of the safe contents for. I can't just pay only for the safe and insurance covers the value of all that's in it, in case of physical desctruction, theft and loss.
Trying to get useful service from a notary will be coming next. I'll keep you posted.
No need for a safe. With Bitcoin,
you are the bank! Just follow these simple steps:
1. Get a Trezor or Ledger.
2. Initialize it and write down the recovery seed.
3. Use an additional passphrase and keep it in your head (don't write it down).
4. Transfer your coins to that wallet (seed + passphrase).
5. Store the seed (but not the passphrase) in 3-4 separate places.
6. Done! Your coins are more secure than any vault in Zürich.
That's the beauty of Bitcoin. Being non-physical has its perks!
Now, try do this with gold or silver...
Additionally, if i suddenly leave this life, i want my children and wife to take over the wallets. There will be trouble with the passphrase, i guess.
I may have suggested this before, sorry if I repeat but there's an easy solution to this.
Keep your seed in several locations under your control only. Keep the passphrase with several family members but never written with the seed.
Sleep easy knowing it would likely take calculated and direct efforts to compromise both locations to reveal the private key.
Late Edit: AlcoHoDL's advice above is likely the most secure option but probably too much for the average Hodl that does not have hundreds of thousands or millions in coin to safeguard. Most anyone who will be robbed will also have been targeted and likely with some knowledge of the amount of holdings they are after.
I don't however agree with HairyMaclairy in separation of seed words for the simple reason of 2 possible sources needing to remain secure.

For the sideways price doldrums I’ll tell a little story which led me to discover Bitcoin.
The tipping point for my entering Bitcoin ultimately came from the wake-up call I received on November 8th 2016 by India’s prime minister recalling the nations currency. Prior to this event it had not occurred to me that a currency could overnight be discarded and replaced especially considering 1.35 billion people using it in a largely cash based society.
Interestingly, the year prior to this move, gold became very difficult or impossible to acquire in India, besides ready-made jewelry, bullion and grain were not available. Hindsight would reveal the government’s cold calculations and capital control. Many business persons whom I dealt with in India were forced to forfeit a significant portion of their cash holdings to “taxes” upon the exchange to the new notes if they could not prove how they acquired their savings.
Normally I like to carry a hundred bucks or so worth of currency from each country I intend on returning to in order to avoid poor exchange rates at airports but more for an overall easier entry at any hour. The promissory notes I still hold have become a reminder of why its important to own your own money.
India taught me that cash can, will and does go to zero regardless of any promise even when such promise is explicitly written and signed for by the issuing governance on the face of the note.

I am curious as to what is the price level (low or high) where 70-90% of WO sell the majority of their stake.
I'd say WO's are less likely to sell at lower prices vs higher ones. We are largely an educated lot with fundamental understandings. Entertaining the question of how to shake out 70-90% of the WO's, perhaps an extreme low around 1900 would shake the weak hands, over invested, dollar chasers etc. then a sharp bubble like rise to 46K might shake out the long term hodl. Perhaps in this scenario only the most hardened believers would remain however, we've already done 1,800 to 20k and many of us are still here so...
Personally, its not nearly as scary to consider much lower prices for
BTC however it would be much more difficult to HODL if price goes up a lot and its believed that we are at the peak of another bubble. Higher prices have a much better chance of shakeout of WO's in my opinion.

Happy full moon! Today is the last full moon of 2019. For what its worth, like our oceans, we are governed by the rhythms
of planetary movement, our markets, our trends, our emotions and every aspect of our lives are subject to its influence.
Today is the height of the proverbial tides we've been building towards for the past 14 days. A new cycle begins now, and like the one before, we will again fearlessly ride the waves.
I feel some cause for celebration so tonight I will literally be riding the waves as the moon ascends in full one last time for the year.

Christine Lagarde speaking for European Central Banks on digital currencies today
My personal conviction is that given the developments we are seeing, not so much in the Bitcoin segment but in the stablecoins projects - and we only know of one at the moment but there are others being explored and underway - we better be ahead of the curve if that happens because there is clearly a demand out there that we have to respond to.

If I have to summarize this year, I would say that once again Bitcoin has proved to the world that the claim that the 2017 bubble had burst, was not true. Although in early 2019 the price hit $3,100, a gradual growth began. This growth naturally reached $14 000, i.e. 70% of previous ATH, without the help of mass psychosis from an upcoming event. This proves that in 2017 Bitcoin experienced a natural cycle of growth, with a demand-supply ratio at the core rather than some global "tulip mania". The slow decline to $7 000 in 6 months after the AYH, compared to the many quick and steep crashes in 2017-2018 only confirms that the price is in the process of stabilization, before the next bull cycle begins/resumes.
Well said, I stand behind that.

Since there's zero inherent use case for a Bitcoin - a completely temporary, transitory, imaginary, valueless timestamp as opposed to gold and silver you can actually use for things, or fiat that you can set on fire to keep yourself warm - the dollar bill chaser might theoretically be the more principled one.

Ouch... Though I don't prefer to be the bringer of negativity, bitcoin is among the highest of the high-risk investment category. If there's a market sell-off, BTC, now inexorably tied with Wall Street, will be one of the first assets to suffer a major sell-off, as big-time investors (however ironically) plow their money into cash.
- stocks go down
- dollar becomes stronger
- Fed prints dollars
- stocks go up
- a bubble pops
- stocks go down
- dollar becomes strong
- Fed prints dollars
- stocks go up
- etc.
Apparently they can just keep doing this forever, and the cycle will continue forever... I'm not wrong until proven otherwise. The dollar is the worst form of currency except for all of the others, BTC included.
The case for BTC being some sort of alternative store of value to the dollar just isn't there yet, IMHO. Speculators have to get out first, which as we all know, isn't happening any time soon.
Ouch, that does sting a little. The real fear comes with a second drop below 6400

For this special hour of panic on WO, a true story:
Two days ago I stopped at the only stoplight along a rural beachtown drive just as the light turned red. As if it was aware of the opportunity to use a crosswalk, and with precise timing, a small snake about the size of a common garden variety slithered out onto the road before pausing half way across. Being familiar with most of the harmless local snake folk in this area I decided to usher the critter across the road to safety ahead of the next green light. I dismounted my motorbike and approached the snake in a calm manner. Just as I were to take my final pace, the snake turned on me, arched its neck in recoil strike pose and sprung open a previously invisible hood which suddenly made its head appear 3 times larger. OH SHIT, COBRA! I froze at less than a meter between us and stared down at my feet wearing the standard $2 flip flop sandles afforded by the natives.
I couldn't move my feet for fear it would be the final trigger. There was 50/50 odds of a successful strike from that short distance. I could hear other motorists laughing or maybe yelling something at the scene from the stoplight which made me immediately feel like another stupid white tourist far out of his jurisdiction. After a few seconds in lock with the cobra, the light must have turned green and a vehicle slowly passed behind the snake which drew its attention and recoil towards the moving object.
I jumped back with relief and GTFO. The cobra carried on calmly and safely to the other side of the road however, sadly Honey badger courage did not show up on this day.
This would be my first and only encounter with a cobra in the wild of which I clearly was unprepared for.

Giacomo Zucco's style is so sharp and he clearly comes out as the smartest of the panel, big respect for this guy. Saifedean is part of the audience and adds great argument.
What I found so intriguing is that the two men representing traditional finance look tired, grey, repetitive, old, worn out, and inflexible while those supporting bitcoin look lively, cheerful, smart, eager, hopeful, colorful, inspired, young, etc. With that I realized all we need to do is outlive these old farts for the inevitable win.

I was watching Expanse for the first time.
There are some cultural references in that show that might apply here as well.
1. It is unlikely that bitcoin would be accepted by a majority of populace.
2. Accordingly, we need to care more about bitcoin and bitcoiner's than to actively proselytize.
3. Instead, we should try to create our own culture and facilitate this process. Others can join on their own (where and when THEY are ready).
4. Maybe, we should even try to introduce new words/language to help with culture distinction. This is already happening, slowly. Obviously, this is a spontaneous process.
Mind you, it looks like our culture is already under pressure:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6odnm_X0jIIndeed youtube "crypto" is under attack. I've just noticed that the channel Ivan on Tech has been taken down. Over 211K followers with a daily podcast.

I've found the best avoidance to this scenario is a planned vacation far away from everyone over the holidays. Just simply call the ones you need to on Christmas and claim you'd like to be there but distance and such.

He is here to teach us about topics that are largely irrelevant to this thread and/or wrong.
Hopefully, he is getting paid for his efforts, and hopefully, he does not believe the nonsense that he stubbornly and repeatedly repeats here for his troll/shilling thrills.
I think he might actually believe his ramblings, if so and possibly even if not, mental health risks and concerns should be obvious to any reader.
Perhaps he is being paid, actually, speaking of which, I've always wondered if you are or have been paid to post?
I can't recall the topic ever but it must have been discussed, you know, paid by word perhaps?

Guys, I would like to talk a little off the sidelines
I was excited by the avatar that you are wearing, it's really really interesting, outstanding and beautiful. I wish I could own a hat like you
I did some research in the last few days and I know that
xhomerx10 was the one who designed these gorgeous hats. I really like them and I want a nice hat, please tell me how to get it
Can you give me a hat
,
xhomerx10Absolutely, all you need to do is demonstrate your Haiku skills to the hat gallery or alternatively, create a short, rhyming poem with your name (ChuckBuck).
Upon final review, and according to the high custom, xhomerx10 may finalize the initiation with an appropriate hat based on his mood, your perceived personality, or if you're lucky he'll request an image from you for inspiration.
Your avatar suggests you like cats, you're in luck, the WO is like 70% feline friendly.

What a pity about your meal
Where did you eat it? I have lived in Vietnam in recent years, their cuisine is really interesting
I even love their PHO - they write PHỞ in Vietnamese. It was really really delicious, have you eaten it? I have never had food poisoning since living there until now
South coast, shanty little seafood shack. "Interesting" is a sugar coated descriptor, some of it is outright laughable like pressed dried squid on a stick sold from a motorbike with flies buzzing about or coagulated duck blood soup, oh yeah, and partially formed baby chicks still in the shell .
Excuse me, might be sick again. Pho a few times a week but only from shops that specialize in it, its either really good or absolutely terrible. Seems I get food poisoning about once a year and usually right around now when tourism is at its height. Thanks for caring

12,580,00 bitcoin have not moved in over a year.
Even with a 70% increase in price during that time, those millions of bitcoin were not moved, sold or likely traded.
Hodlers of last resort are insane.
https://twitter.com/Rhythmtrader/status/1214316888756555776If this is true, how many coins are actually traded? Estimating only around 15 million or less in wallets with controlled keys, 1-2 million lost, and Satoshi's 1M presumably lost or not moving anytime soon. That does not leave much for the exchanges, maybe 1-2 million?
Seems the demand is outpacing the supply currently. About 1800 coins minted each day for all the world to share if miners sell of which will be cut in half in a few months. I think we have no idea what scarcity is yet.

https://medium.com/the-bitcoin-times/bitcoins-eternal-struggle-2c197f1bafd8I liked the argument that
BTC is mostly informational however nonetheless physical which negates r0aches claim that it's imaginary.
Bitcoin lives mostly in the informational realm, and just like all other information systems, it needs to store and process the information via a physical medium. Thus, if you change information in Bitcoin, you effectively change a thing in the real world. Whether that thing is a solid-state disk, USB stick, hard drive, optical storage medium, or something else doesn’t matter.

What is this 'something' you're doing with a silver coin? Surely you're not able to spend it like a currency and even if someone had agreed to accept it as payment, you'd need several wheelbarrows full transported and authenticated to exchange for a decent used car.
At least Bitcoin works as settlement. Because its immeasurably more convenient and secure than PM's is the primary reasons it's a currency and PM's are not.

I get where you are coming from and largely agree, but one can easily carry the value of a good used car in Ag with one hand.
Fair enough, 1000 ounces, approx. 63 lbs/28 kilos valued at $17,900 will likely be the limit for the average able-bodied human and only for short distances unassisted. 4000 ounces valued at $71,600 would be a heavy wheelbarrow load.

LFC_Bitcoin just sent me 0.00587140 BTC (the equivalent of around $50). He doesn't know who I am. I don't know who he is. We did not have to register to any site or server. No one, I repeat, NO ONE, could stop this transaction from happening. Even if one miner refused to confirm it for some reason, there are thousands more who would. There were no intermediaries. No company or bank to allow or deny it. He cannot take it back. No one can. He was the sole owner of that amount. He transferred ownership to me. Now I am the sole owner of that amount. He did this from (probably) thousands of miles away from me. He did not have to send anything by mail. It happened over the air. Electronically. It took less than half an hour. It cost less than $0.40. It will stay in the Blockchain forever. That's Bitcoin.

I know we touched on the new US tax question recently but I hadn't considered this point of view which I tend to agree.
Opinion: The IRS will cause significantly more adoption of bitcoin.
Going forward, all taxpayers will be required to answer the question below:
This question will force all taxpayers to contemplate the existence of cryptocurrency as an asset class.
This also forces accountants, attorneys, and financial advisors to educate themselves on the subject in order to represent and advise their clients.
The question will inevitably nudge some of the tens of millions who are exposed to it, and who are curious, to explore this new asset class.
Once curiosity sets in, it is guaranteed that Bitcoin’s gravity will draw many of these newcomers down its rabbit hole.
This amounts to a guerrilla marketing campaign by the IRS, and it can only lead to increased interest in and adoption of bitcoin, IMO.
I do not believe this is the intent of the question by any means, but I cannot see how the increased awareness will be a net negative.

Bingo! Well done. Thou shalt be sprayed with thy merit.
Remote area that's only now starting to see significant tourism since better boats have been built to access the place. Visitors need a seperate visa as it's a military controlled island in the contentious South China Sea. Been coming here for the past 9 years for kitesurfing trips. About 20k residents, most of which are fishermen and children
It's an interesting melting pot of culture that isn't found anywhere else in Vietnam. The children still yell Hello when they see foreigners. Slowly things are changing, like everywhere. Wouldn't recommend it unless you're here for the wind or a weekend getaway from Saigon or similar.

Congratulations Bitserve!
Thanks!
Also thanks to everyone else that congratulated me, I won't keep going one by one saying thanks... this shit is getting redundant already! You all know I am thankful for your help and/or congratulations and I really appreciate it!
That being said let's get back to business as usual...
Jesus. I would want to die if I lived there. Yeah, I know about Canada (never been there... probably because).
Some parts of USA are also fucking cold. NY can be frigging cold, but sometimes is somewhat ok. San Francisco... da fuck! I was there one time in *JUNE*. And there were fucking SEA LIONS on the pier!!!!! NO WONDER WHY!
Not that UK is that much different. Spent one month there when I was young and it was all rain and bad climate... in fucking July or August!
And yeah, even in my country there are many cities where it is too cold for my taste, especially in winter.
The only place, besides my city, where I was able to perfectly climate as if I was at home is Las Vegas during summer. That's maybe one of the reasons I have been there 5 times already, spending my whole summer holidays. I *LOVE* Las Vegas.
Yeah, I am bit picky about needing a nice warm -or even *FUCKING HOT* for most everyone else- *DRY* weather. That's what I am used to and what I really love.
As a matter of fact, there has never been a snow fall in my city in all my lifetime. My father says it happened ONCE during his youth... for a few hours. And it was incredible.
But I won't be more specific as I am already almost blowing out my OPSEC as it is already somewhat easy to know very approximately where I do live... As if anyone would care lol
I would like to be more cold-climate-resistant but unfortunately I am not. Thats why my potential future relocation options are really extremely limited... or none.
Not to keep banging on with Southern Vietnam but... Warm and dry are the winter conditions for 7-8 months (Nov-May) of the year along the south coast. Sand, cactus, blue skies, board shorts and sandles etc are the norm. Any further north of the coast gets noticeably cooler. Prices are still cheap AF. A private 3 bedroom/3 bathroom place on (very near) the ocean rents for $350 p/m. I can eat out every day and spend less than I would in Canada cooking and cleaning by myself.
The further south you go from here, the more humid it'll be.
Next stop south is the Phillipines which might be a good choice of a middle ground. They do experience crazy typhoons October-December that wreck havoc, worth considering. It'll be my next choice if and when I leave VN. Further south was more difficult, I had moved my winter home from Bali about 10 years ago because it was just too humid, hot, wet and moldy most of the time. Also the sun is just too hard on the skin and prices and pollution are in a race. Infections, bugs, and tourists at every turn.

Phan Rang is a good guess, have spent a lot of time there in the past before it became discovered as a kite destination. Water not as blue as the previous photos but the landscape in the area is stunning weathered exposed aggregate rocks down to the ocean. Visit by motorbike if ever you have the chance.
I see the corn tried to shake a few out before catching a bid higher. Down to 8500 and right back up to 8700

I have been to a local Bitcoin meet-up this evening.
Host/Valet: Giacomo Zucco
Special Guest: Saifedean Ammous.
I think you know the guy.
Best quote of the night:
“The most subsersive thing you can to with bitcoin is saving”
❤️
#nohomoThat was great!
Edit: the concept has been told a few times:
"The only crime you should do with Bitcoin is saving and that's the most powerful of the crimes"

Noticing that since starting a daily DCA I care even less when the price goes down. More corn for the hodl! I'd even prefer to stay below 10K as long as possible. Its almost inevitable that at some point in the (all to soon) near future mere bit cents .01 could be much more difficult to acquire.
Bitcoin advertisements in the wild are at an all time high, hash rate is ATH, curiosity and education is growing healthy. The stage is being set. Enjoy the stacking opportunities of sub 10K corn. We already know they will
buy fomo at higher prices

Cos it's
BTC.
What do you mean? It's something that goes up with no reason? Till which level?
To 9000, obviously.
Because it would suit you?
In two years it will go much higher than $9k.
Perhaps its
fiat that will go much lower? Currently the FED is printing .014% more of the 23 trillion national debt each day ($3.3 Billion 2019 average). That's serious inflation

You don't like dollars? Name your poison. Gold? BTC gonna go up against gold. Light Sweet Crude? BTC goin' up. The price of ladyboys in Bangkok? BTC will go up.
I was agreeing with you over 'the price' in relation to USD going up. I don't agree that measuring
BTC by any metric we have today is fairly comparable. It's considered a non-correlated asset and we struggle to attribute a value to it because we are using metrics we are familiar with.
My point is that Bitcoin is the stable asset compared with USD.

Just having a look at recent history and thinking out loud, Last time we were here was mid June 2019 but price got all bubbly and ran past 10k quickly.
Then finally and reluctantly fell from 10K in September. Seems logical to expect more resistance into 10K this time vs. the bubbles that blazed through times before. Only difference now is it would appear that not so many people care this time, Google trends show bitcoin interest at a low for the past 12 months.
https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=bitcoin&geo=USAccording to the charts I'd expect resistance but Bitcoin loves to surprise.
Do we retrace now, closer to 10K, or does it get bubbly well past 10K?
Some sideways for a week or 2 would be welcomed.

If any of you have snap chat, private mode your story temporarily (so no one can see it) take a picture of the Bitcoin price and put a caption of "buy bitcoin or regret it forever". (or something along those lines)
Then story roll it as the price goes up and up. I did it at $8000 a few weeks ago. Already shilling it to some of my snapchat friends who none of which understand Bitcoin. Its an quick and easy way to remind everyone of Bitcoin without actually shoving it down their throat. I story roll the picture (which shows its a few weeks old), and then do another snap with an updated price of the bitcoin price today.
I did it as a test run today, ill probably do it again when Bitcoin hits $15,000, and then $20,000. A lot of normies will be confused because most of them think Bitcoin is dead.

Genuinely curious. What _exactly_ do you think they are doing to aid chainalysis? Divulging private customer data?
I'm not accusing them of anything illegal however since Coinbase acquired Neutrino, now they have the largest on ramp and customer base with chainalysis rolled together. Not only is it a honeypot for leaks, its recreating the same privacy invasive, centralized practices familiar in today's banking. While understanding the merits of such, I prefer to support smaller privacy focused on ramps in efforts to avoid ultimately enslaving the population with an 'all seeing' Gov. Bitcoin.

So you have no
proof that they are using such data to nefarious ends? That's certainly what it appears you are saying.
Your closing statement is topologically identical to 'Google/Amazon/Facebook is consolidating power to break and prevent privacy in all aspects of life'. Which could be a true statement, but I bet there is not one in a hundred persons reading this that does not deal with at least one of those organizations from time to time.
You' are correct, no proofs from me. I'm unable to afford the luxury or patience to await proof so I must rely on intuition, experience and history (Sometimes referred to as logic) If that condemns me to your special snowflake pile, oh well, I guess I'll have to live with that
As a society we've already given our private lives to Facebook, our data to Google and our shopping habits to Amazon. I'm guilty but unprepared to drive the final nail into the coffin relinquishing our financial privacy simply because I was duped into the previous.
I'm not sure what point you'd like to make with your closing statement. Are you saying that since we've already given some of our information to these corps, giving the rest shouldn't be a problem? Perhaps until
proven otherwise?

DCA is really the no-brainer no-emotion just-do-it kind of thing. If you can somehow set it on auto pilot, that would be great. That's kinda difficult to do depending on the exchanges you are using and your bank.
There is one that supposedly let's you top up your account using your own bank's bill payment feature, which you should be able to schedule, so it pays or sends the exchange some of your fiat every 2 weeks. On the exchange itself, it executes a buy order once a day until your fiat runs out.

Hopefully, no innocent persons were damaged by your nonsense by either selling BTC or waiting to buy BTC when they should have been buying, when your stupid-ass predictions did not even come close to coming true.. except your lame-ass attention-whore seeking attempts to revise history.
I was about 90% until we hit 6000. then I was'nt sure about this rally at all so sold for now.
Im probably gonna wait till sub 2k. I mean not that it's worth 2k,
but the charts are the charts. See you at the bottom of phase C, when you will be telling everyone to sell
I'll predict the future. Bitcoin won't be $10,000 ever again.
Special guests have already been invited.
Should add dumb-ass lambie-bambie to the list of retards who have a posting history of attempting to talk innocent peeps out of their coins.
I remember Lambie correctly and repetitively calling the bottom at 3.1k Dec. 2018 and again @6K in Dec. 2019 (so far successfully).
Anyone listening to his advice made out really well, myself included.
Ironically, I remember you had denied the notions of the beginning of bear market in early January 2017 until we were at 6K for a sustained period. Not that I'd ever blame anyone other than myself, You were one of the voices I gave weight to during that time of which you were wholly wrong.
From my perspective, you are neither correct nor have a foot to stand on in your accusations towards Lambie.

The recent events of the epidemic that has killed so many people in China, has caused many to put Bitcoin as a refuge from value.
“Technically the structure’s bias is bullish as long as price doesn’t lose $9,150,” said Teddy Cleps, a market analyst at Crypto Freak Network. “Price has a decent margin to retrace and mark another higher high, and thus continue its growth.”
Source:
https://www.newsbtc.com/2020/02/10/bitcoin-dips-on-profit-taking-but-fundamentals-show-its-parabolic-rally-is-not-finished/Behold, according to some analysts, Bitcoin and Gold continue to rise despite the outlook in the world, some speak of correlation even.
It is well known that the correlation is low between the two .. only that it can be taken as an important fundamental that can be exploited in the market.
Correlating investing in safe haven assets during times of uncertainty is normal and it's an especially important place to watch with Bitcoin. The reality is that most of the world simply does not care about Bitcoin or much at all for that matter, all they want is to continue to live the 'normal' life they've been afforded for the past 7 decades or so. It's my belief that harsh events must challenge the masses 'normal' way of living and force change. Bitcoin adoption as a safe haven asset will continue during global crisis but I'm afraid the absence of such events will allow the herd to slip back into an apathetic slumber.
It appears that greed has mostly powered the Bitcoin market thus far and as much as I'd like to think that it would be convenience that ushers it forward from here, fear is the more likely motivator. Most great changes have been born of great tragedies. If Bitcoin is to be as revolutionary as we speak of, I don't see why it would be any different this time.

Ok boyz, its speculation time.
Clearly we are in the early stages of a prehalvening pump. The sample is small, but this wonderful event has never failed to have a pre-pump, nor afaik has the litecoin halvening.
The questions are always:
1. When Pump?
2. How high Pump?The answer to question one is clearly, Pump Now.Number 2 is the more interesting question.
A similar pump to the last halvening pre-pump would take us to as I stated yesterday, 16100. I see this as a minimum for two major reasons. 1. The Global Stock Market (as measured by MSCI ETF
https://www.barchart.com/stocks/world-market-map/world)
The worlds major stock markets are in aggregate hitting all time highs on a regular basis in a lengthy bull market. In the midst of this late stage bull market melt up the world is flooded with money printing as Trump jawbones the Fed to keep his election hopes alive and China is printing at the speed of light to avoid a epidemic induced recession.
A huge swath of the worlds bonds are at negative interest rates and interest rates are at historically rock bottom levels. We are in as risk on of an environment as they come with historically high stock valuations that keep climbing.
The shitty yields for bonds and t-bills make Bitcoin more attractive. The stock market may not be that correlated to Bitcoin in price but the panic to keep pumping it is forcing central banks to money print like crazy. The money printing is of course fantastic for Bitcoin for obvious reasons of supply, demand, and scarcity.
Even if we get the inevitable crash they will just have to print more money, so for stocks its heads Bitcoin wins, and tails Bitcoin wins. If these central bankers weren't arrogant they would be raising rates at the end of a long bull cycle and that would mean less money printing and be a Bitcoin head wind.
Fortunately for us they have put themselves in a box that requires money printing in all scenarios. This is a dream scenario for Hodlers.2. The Aids-Flu (tin foil boyz call it Coronavirus)
Perhaps the Aid-Flu will fizzle out and become a distant memory as the summer comes and nations get it under control. What will certainly not happen is it fading from memory in the next few months.
This virus is sowing massive distrust in governments and for good reasons. Distrust in govs means less faith in fiat and more love for King Bitcoin. Its also forcing central bankers to print more money and helps keep us in the dream scenario discussed above.
Bitcoin is a safe haven and this Aids Swan is proving it. The halvening will only buttress our case for safe haven status as
it will be hard to distinguish how much of our rise is due to a flight to safety and how much is due to the halvening. This will give the faithful (WO Elites an such) the opportunity to push whatever narratives we like with impunity and the masses will fall in line,
because at the end of the day they love sick gainz above all else.The MSM will actually imo prefer to give the Coronavirus credit for our incoming pump. Thats bc they don't like talking about the halvening too much since it makes the masses wonder why the fuck they are slaves to inflationary currency in the first place when the cool kids get their currency supply cut in half by computer algos. This MSM fear of deflation just plays into our hands bc newbs will find an infinite amount of disasters over the years to make them want more Bitcoin. They will misdirect, but we will win either way.
Most of the pump inducing scenarios mentioned above were not in play during the 2016 halvening. Central Bankers were looking for the first opportunity to raise rates. Stocks had been sideways for a year. Negative bond yields were not as widespread, and there was nothing comparable to the Coronavirus.
Prediction:
16100 is a minimum worst case scenario for this halvening pump and a more likely target is the old all time high of 20k. After this perhaps we go a bit higher but most likely it happens in a blow off top form and we get the predictable halvening crash from profit taking.
The profit taking would crash us to about 14k and then we build our way back up to all time highs again in several months, bc after all,
its Bull $eason. TLDR: New all time highs this summer.This is absolutely investment advice. Sell your wife or your neighbors wife into sex slavery and buy Bitcoin for the ride to 100k and beyond.Awesome post! Agree with your thinkings. WO running the narrative for this one, niccce.

I'm don't think we're in overbought territory yet however I'm no trader and this will be SOMA but something tells me we have quite a bit more up to go before settling on a price range. Perhaps around 13K would be my guess.

After traveling through Ho Chi Minh city and especially now onto Bali, I'm starting to get the sense that people are treating the virus as a big nothing burger. Ok, maybe not nothing but certainly not more serious than SARS was.
More face masks being worn in HCMC but no checks or info at the airport and even many of the staff weren't wearing masks.
Now in Bali, it seems no fucks are given, no masks, nothing, just lots of whatevs.
At the airport upon arrival I had to fill out a card that asked if I was sick. Sign it and trade it for another card stamped health certificate. No temperature checks.
So what's the chances the media and markets have this thing blown up to generate maximum fears?
I did see one couple that looked a bit odd. They got a lot of funny looks and a few of us snapping shots.

Guys hello!
Today is exactly 2 years since I registered at this forum ! I do not write here often, (because of my bad English) but I read very often. During this time you've all become like family to me, and I would like to celebrate it with you.
Since I registered on the forum, my life has changed a lot, mainly thanks to the financial planning that I learned from you! I want to make every member of the WO`s a small gift in the form of a chocolate bar made by my close relative from natural products.
I have not yet figured out how to send the chocolate to those who want to remain anonymous, so I ask for your help with this.
I'll participate in your thought experiment of anonymous receiving. I had considered the same when I wanted to send some
BTC patches I made, anonymously.
The best I could come up with was, create an anon email address with proton mail, Ask WO's to also create a new email address and send their shipping address (without identifying themselves).
Last time we played with this idea, some guys found a cool site that destroys messages after its read.
https://privnote.com/ This way, if email is compromised in the future, nobody has details inside.
I'm not sure exactly if one could accomplish this in a trust-less way without 3rd party but its worth the thought experiment IMO.
Because you'd like to send food (a consumable) it adds another level of risk/trust. I do believe your intentions are genuine and not saying you'd do it, but, it's not too difficult to imagine someone poisoning some WO Bitcoiners for whatever reason. Just saying.
Thanks for the acknowledgments here, I share the same gratitude you express. Have a trustless merit

Do they have Grab in Vietnam? Its the southeast asia version of Uber, owned by an Indonesian company now I believe. I noticed all the Grab drivers were wearing face masks, and I wondered what that was all about... Recently I've been getting a notice every time I book a taxi that says wear a face mask for the safety of the driver... Meh. It would be the courteous thing to do, but TBH face masks are all sold out everywhere. People are still pretty on edge about it in the Philippines, maybe because we had the first death outside of China and now several infected (our media reports higher figures than what is displayed on that
map, whose numbers I also believe are way too low).
In any case, that's a cool souvenier, and I hope you enjoy your time in Bali.
Ya, Grab is pretty much everywhere in VN and I believe all throughout Asia. Got fleeced for 5x the cost on a package of face masks the other day despite the VN gov. making a statement that anything beyond 5K dong is illegal. Never let a crisis go to waste I guess
I've got a friend in the Philippines (Caucasian) who's been sick for over a week. They've decided to lay low for fear of being quarantined or worse despite suggestions to get checked out. This particular case is described as more of an ongoing cold BTW. Numbers are certainly low considering how many people will be doing exactly this.
Another close friend in Bali that just got flu symptoms today.
Fuk, I start to consider V8's warnings again and rethink a bit but I refuse to live in fear.
Bali is too hot & humid, touristy, and traffic polluted for my tastes these days. The romance wore off years ago. May have to find myself a spot in Portugal. I hear things in Europe aren't changing so fast.

The fact of the matter is that it was the boomers who voted in socialism in practically the entire world. They deserve to die, and they need to die before we have even the possibility of building something better.
And I'm saying this as someone with old parents. Good parents at that, even. But a few worthwhile people, if they are, do not make up for an entire world run by old people who deliberately make things worse.
If Corona-chan kills most people over 60 and stops unlimited immigration, then it may in the long run turn out to be a good thing. Even better if the world turns on the chinese for releasing it.

This whole thing where bitcoin price is following the stock market tells us one thing.
We need to shift the focus of Bitcoin from market and price to utility and actually using it as a currency.
Totally agree. However, that's been the case for years and similar posts have been on this very thread since I started reading it in 2014. Unfortunately, the whole 'HODL until I'm rich' mentality has undermined the very purpose of BTC.
Oh, and can we finally put to bed the whole idea of BTC as a safe haven - whilst global stock markets face their worst day since the 2008 financial crisis, BTC tanks even more. If BTC really was a safe haven, it would be mooning now. Gold still seems to be the haven of choice.
BTC following the stock market should not necessarily be a concern. Whales in this space alike the small guy are also deep into other markets. Margin calls will need liquidity and its only natural that its taken from the profit zones (BTC) to do it. Bitcoin has proven itself time after time and is a re-education camp for monetary policy. When there are no more profits to extract from BTC, the hedges will fall right back where they make sense.

Italy has a 3.5% mortality rate with one of the best health systems in the world. It’s not the fucking flu.
It’s a sort of flu, but much more serious as a common one, though I don’t know the current measures are necessarily....
Sometimes I think we should just under go it then again if it’s much more serious and more people getting dead cause it, then I understand we have to take care and things must happen
We now have friends whom have caught and recovered (not official tested), myself and my SO included. If that's accurate, it was a weak ass flu that takes you down for 2-3 days then low level energy for a few days, but a slow full recovery and if you've got any existing (respiratory for example) compromises, it'll hang out there until the immune system finally kicks which could take weeks (which was my case) 2 other friends also became sick, 40's and 50's during my stay on Phu Quy in January where I caught it from, they recovered within a week.
The friend who we suspect caught it in Milan, traveled to S.Africa before showing symptoms, he passed it on to another friend but not his SO, he's living a very healthy lifestyle but living with HIV and a cancer survivor in his early 60's. He recovered within a week.
My SO caught it early on, before the announcement in January, actually we believe she caught it in late November in S.Vietnam around many Chinese travelers. She's healthy without pre-existing compromises to the immunity system. She describes it as the strongest flu she's ever encountered and and felt like death. She ,early 40's recovered within 10 days with ginger tea.
I've been tracking known flu results of several others as well.
My hypothesis is that this is the fucking flu,
It's getting weaker and weaker as time moves on but contagion remains easy because this is a completely foreign strain.
Sorry, no factual proof as usual from me on ground 0 but this is the only virus I've seen in the wild this year and I move a fair bit so I believe its probable that I've already been exposed and have account of other experiences. As more personal accounts appear and recover, I expect the panic to subside significantly once people realize its not gonna kill them.
I believe Torque is correct, Our overlords will absolutely blame the virus on the market movements and the FED's reaction to printing 1.5 trillion to prop it up longer. One must wonder if it was entirely engineered and timed, the virus, the panic, the markets, the money printing. Idunno

"Another proof that bitcoin is not a good hedge versus risky assets in risk-off episodes. It actually falls more than risky assets during risk-off."
Is BTC worth anything at all anymore after this shitshow performance?
Unsure..
If it doesn't hedge against the normie economy.... then.... Fuck it.. Junk..
The age of Bitcoin education is still early. Bitcoin moves like normal markets today because normal (Keynesian) thinking is applied.
Nothing has changed, there's still ONLY 21 million while its hedge is bottomless.
Bitcoin will not 'perform' well when cash is seen as the stronger asset such as today when people are thinking a recession/depression is coming. It's true, cash will be useful, until its not. Bitcoin will 'perform' well when inflation is felt or if the dollar collapses or is de-platformed globally, FED fails or is removed, people overthrow banking & wall street, basically the hedge is -Bitcoin will perform well in monetary reform

Covbull-19 is still bullish af
Sure....
Just wait till people wise up and realize its not a real threat and they got bamboozled by the alarmists. That's when the magic happens and price will reflect all the money printing.
That's the problem, its all just narrative and the herd will believe anything as long as it has some feeling-threat of impact on their lives. They don't tend to wise up very quickly. Look how many still run the 9/11 narrative.

The virus is a worry. I originally overreacted and purchased 200 n100 masks, 4 pairs of swimming goggles and 10 entire boxes of 12 x250ml hand sanitizer, this expensive water filter big berky, 400 dollars worth of cans, pasta,cereals and rice. I have some weaponry and even a thermal scope that i traded for a weird modern art kind of picture a while back. Only used it one time with my friend to search for his dog that escaped at night.
If things get really bad I will do my best to survive the virus or civil unrest. I hope things will not get crazy and that in a few months we get back on track.
The only thing of any possible future value that you can protect easily is your private key. In my area I expect nobody would really even consider the residents would have such a thing. The other thing is, if I didn't make it out of this, then that's another 1.1 btc deflation.
I do agree that when something like this happens, it does put investing and striving after an improved living standard into perspective. Although now I have a whole btc I am sitting here almost smug and happy. I don't even want to hear about covid19.
I finally become a member of the new wealthy elite in digital money

I don't know what you think when you use the "convert" word here
If you convert fiat into cash, I can also exchange BTC for cash, what is the difference? Can BTC still be used as toilet paper in a different way? Just kidding
I think that's called
intrinsic value No way, can't think of a better way to call it
So what is the intrinsic value of Bitcoin?
Can I call the terrible volatility the intrinsic value to bitcoin?
A historic ~49% range in a single 40-minute candle.
Not at all, Bitcoin is a mere 100 billion market cap today on it's journey to replace a irresponsible monetary policy.
Volatility is expected. There won't be as much volatility when
BTC has a much larger market cap like gold. You're just early if you thought it should be stable.

Yeah, i might sound too bearish because of the $3k - $3.5k range, but i will buy at higher prices too without much loss (or much less gain, if you want to see it that way).
I'm easy with holding out and waiting, in times of uncertainty i refuse to make moves, because this has brought negative results in the past, mostly.
I (shamed to admit it) capitulated at £3660 on Thursday night and liquidated 0.4 BTC for £1500. Sadly, I needed to make sure I had the money to pay a bill. I use BTC as my overall savings account with very little in my actual bank account other than general operating costs and some on exchanges to play with. It means I lost about 0.03 BTC / £150 in real terms. I had been buying bits and pieces during the crash - then panicked and sold at a loss.
I am the master of capitulation. I did it at $280 and I’m sure I’ll do it again. This is a sign we can go up now!
Thanks for sharing, no shame really. I'm also similarly positioned using bitcoin as my 100% savings. The only difference is that I don't need the capital I've allocated for any reason in the short term (except in emergency). I have a somewhat reliable income stream I can reasonably live from.
If you'll entertain, its a great lesson really. Is your investments in Bitcoin to help bitcoin evolve or for some other reason?
Other reasons get complicated very easily as I'm sure you are aware and as Bitcoin stands it's ground, it will claim the advantage over unaltruistic investments.

I'm gonna stick this one out in S.Vietnam. I refuse to panic travel and it looks like the rest of the world have lost their sensibilities anyway. Here, tourists are not panicked, won't even get on board with face masks and they still squeeze in at the food court every day. Godammit we've got a holliday to enjoy! The small city nearby reported a single case a few days ago. I went through the area yesterday to have a look and do some shopping and they've bleached about a 4 block radius of the streets. Smells like laundry and a chlorine pool. Some smaller and non-essential shops have closed, markets still working and many locals are pleased with the excuse of another holiday noted by karaoke gaining popularity
I really do not understand the TP wars, actually, I don't understand how its still used as the preferred method. 19 years since I learned how to wash myself and it was a defining revelation at the time. An empty waterbottle is key when traveling.

Good morning Bitcoinland.
Hanging in over $6k (barely) after bouncing up and down in the $5.6k-$7.1k range... currently $6222USD/$8925CAD (Bitcoinaverage).
I'm wondering if we might spend a little time going sideways here. I feel the panic dump is over but the immediate correction back up may be over too. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
This is why hodlers are perhaps better prepared for the Covid-19 restrictions. We're accustomed to waiting. Patience is a virtue.

Guys, I'm not at all religious, but I certainly don't appreciate where this is going.

I prefer to drop dead right now - than to physically mark me in any way, against my will - like sheep.
Do wake the fuck up. It is matter of freedom. This what is really tested.
Now, the word is going around that it originally started in September and a few people who had nasty "flu" in late 2019 might have had CV instead.
I usually don't get sick at all, but
last year around this period, I had a flu like no other.
It was like the cough insisted for a month after a full treatment cycle. My parents also got it, whilst living in another city. Some friends too. ONE fucking YEAR AGO.
Icygreen I think it was, reported something similar a couple of months back (not in Vietnam, before).
Suspected as far back as beginning-mid November in my immediate circles, other cases in December and January, some severe.
A truck driver friend in central Canada was hospitalized on a respirator Jan 10th with all the symptoms with 9+ week recovery and lung scarring. No previous conditions, not confirmed covid-19, they tested blood twice but think tests were not accurate during this time. Its quite possible that this has been in the wild much longer than reported.

For the sake of following governments action, this was translated from Russia. They are running this message on every channel across the country.
Russia announced their immidiate solutions to corona virus spread and economic losses.
65 years old plus are quarantined to stay inside.
Basic income will be issued to those who've lost work and or supporting families. 12k ruble ($218 CAD) per month and another 5k ruble for each child.
Those who lost jobs will not pay tax for 6 months. Mortgage payments will be put on hold.
Sending money offshore will be taxed 15%.
All persons with 1million ruble + (approx 18k CAD) in their bank are to pay a 13% tax on the balance.
Citizens are required to bring supllies to those affected by the 65+ quarantine.
