Just a hunch. Are you Fyrstikken making those epic videos?
No, that guy was skinny. Guess that's why he calls himself Fyrstikken (Matchstick).
Ha, ha! It IS you! RESPECT!!!
No, seriously. It's not me
I am disappointed, I wish it was. Not many people in crypto currency in Norway yet, he he
He's seems norwegian enough... Just contact him by his youtube account and get him to perform at one of your meetups. Every artist likes a good crowd.
Sounds like a great idea! Next meetup is 1st of may. Topic focus will probably be regulation in Norway and probably a little follow up on the f*cking VAT. Dry & boring, but it's impossible to make a startup in Norway without at least the VAT in place. And everybody gets drunk and talk about bitcoin. Come!
I heard two of the most major Norwegian banks announced to the public that they will no longer service Bitcoin companies. Are the rest of the Norwegian banks still OK with it?

VAT is for pussies
No VAT is for rich people running businesses

No, it's complicated. Most norwegian banks dodge the question when asked. A guy mailed a lot of them systematically. Most didn't answer, or answered a different question (That they don't transact in bitcoin, which of course wasn't the question. The question was if they could have business customers who are working with bitcoin. We don't need banks for bitcoin transfers, he he.) But my tip is to go with a small, local bank, or maybe SEB.no. There was another bank responding positive too, but I don't remember right now. I can find the name with a little research if you are seriously interested.
They sound like the politicians you can't get a straight answer out of.
I'm not Norwegian, so I'm not bothered about finding a bank that will do business with me thanks. I was mostly interested in finding out if all the banks there refuse to service Bitcoin companies. It seems to be a similar story everywhere across the world, the banks are very cautious about doing business with anything related to bitcoin.

So if I understand the four punch raiders thing... this should be the short squeeze, right?
Don't listen to what others say about the market. Listen to what it tells you about itself.
Whoa, going to deep bro, 2 DEEP.
Anyways what is the four punch raiders thing? Someone just posted about their little gang of 4 manipulates the market by punching it?
There is a thread about it where billyjoeallen explains it.

Would be interesting to send an e-mail to the real Jorge Stolfi and ask if this is his account. Most of "his" posts are designed to confuse. Rather than inform, which I thought was his aim.
It is a sad state of affairs, but I believe it is the real Jorge Stolfi. I can only imagine what his students think of him spending so many hours on these forums.
Jeebus Creebus,
One thing is the hours. But the content? I don't mind people being critical of BTC, but he has nothing that sticks. He just drones away on lies and stupidity which has been rebuffed countless times. He should get a hobby. Join a marching band or something.
His Wikipedia page says he's anti-bitcoin.
In late 2013 Jorge took an active interest in the economics of cryptocurrencies. He became extremely skeptical about its underlying soundness and chances of success, and has been advising the Brazilian public against investment in bitcoin.

My reading still is that SecondMarket and other "Authorized Participants" have to buy bitcoins themselves in order to get shares from Greyscale. Isn t that so?
Only BIT buys and sells bitcoin. GBTC can only create shares when owners of BIT redeem their shares of BIT. You can't deposit bitcoin with GBTC.
Is it true the first shareholders cannot sell their shares for twelve months and after that the shares can be freely traded?
What percentage of shares (representing bitcoins) can be sold now?

As I understand it, only shares of BIT that have been owned for 12 months can be transferred/deposited/redeemed/converted to shares of GBTC. Once they are GBTC, they can be freely traded on the open market without restriction.
Is there any estimate of how many that can be freely traded on the open market without restriction today? It's going to be a damp squib if hardly any can be traded until another year elapses.

BIT had 70,000 bitcoin at the end of 2013 so at least 700,000 shares could be put on the market right now but it seems unlikely that everyone would want to sell unless there is a hefty premium. Also, more will mature each month and by Dec 2015, 1,380,000 shares will eligible to be sold.
I found this post in the secondmarket thread that says they had to stop the redemption process because of a SEC rule. They should have had legal experts scrutinizing the rule book for months before to stop this happening.
...
AIUI no one can redeem shares atm. They had to suspend redemption because of a technicality in the SEC rules - I think it's because you're not allowed to be simultaneously offering new shares and at the same time offering to redeem old shares.

If Itbit got approval... What is stopping GEMINI to go live? Maybe another surprise from twins in next days
ItBit applied for, and got trust fund company status. GEMINI did not and will probably need at least a BitLicense before it starts up, but BitLicenses are not available yet. The Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust (an ETF focused on bitcoin investment) will probably take even longer because it needs SEC approval, which may or may not be granted.

Am I the only one sceptic here about the pump that accompanied (?) the ITBIT / GBTC news? I expected a lot more buying regarding this.
Trading has been very low volume for most of this week. Nevertheless, I also expected a bigger pump accompanying ITBIT / GBTC news. Bitcoin sometimes does that though, and nothing much happens for weeks.

Shaking out weak hands ....
Been a while since I saw this old chessnut, reminds me how much I miss Shroomskit who'd probably say something along the lines of: "yeah right, we've been shaking out the weak hands for 14 months now".
But with a lot more venom.
Oh, is Shroomy really gone for good? I just realized that I kind of miss him. He was a rare example of the bull-turning-bear-turning-bull-turning-bear-turning-2-btc-into-1-btc-turning-bear-turning-bull breed.
Did he get banned or decide to stop posting? He was here for ages so there must be some reason he stopped posting. This thread seems much quieter than it used to without him.

We're waiting for you to make your move. Get some action going.
No moves on my part right now. Holding what I have for the time being (no long or short) concentrating more on forex atm.
This has been the lowest volume trading we have had since Christmas. Everyone seems to be waiting and watching to find out which way it will go. Can it carry on like this for weeks or possibly months? Can the volume get even lower than this?

Good read, but the original thread is here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=896480.0I've been through the majority of those scams, trying to convince the newbies not to invest, but they never listened
Thousands upon thousands of bitcoins were redirected from the pockets of the greedy dumb newbies into the hands of the whales that were manipulating the entire scene. The business was booming in 2014, not so much now, though. The death of Mintpal also had a huge effect on the scamcoin market.
After reading your post it occurred to me that the fat blob con artist who ran Mintpal could conceivably have been behind many of the scam coins it listed. I assumed he only got away with the Bitcoins he stole from peoples accounts, but he could have ripped people off for far more if he was a "dev" behind multiple coins. We always had to trust Mintpal's voting system fairly decided which coin to list next, but it might have been fixed

Wasn't he a relatively recent arrival though? I remember Mintpal being a fine exchange once upon a time. If I remember rightly Mintpal con boy's notoriety started with Doge. The creator of that may have turned out to be a shrill knob, but he wasn't a con artist or that guy.
This thread dated July 28 says Mintpal had been sold to Moolah. The Moolah owner seems to have disappeared in October, which gave him two months to do anything he liked. I remember the switch to the new v2 website took a long time and was a total disaster, but he must have had a window of time in which he could have listed some of his own scam coins.

I'd love to have a go at trading (only small amounts) but I have no clue where to even start! any advice?
First You need a trading account and then... buy low and sell high:)
Actually better strategy now is sell high, rebuy low
Sell in May and go away <==best strategy
That applies to stocks, and the saying advises to buy back after Halloween in November. If you applied it to Bitcoin last year you might have done well selling at the peak of the rally in May, but if you bought back in November you would have been slaughtered by the crash after Christmas

By the way, Bitstamp has had some weird action lately. I wonder if the manipulators are using it more actively nowadays.
None of the big exchanges have had particularly big volume recently, so it must be fairly easy to manipulate the price. There have been long periods when 200 Bitcoins could affect things one way or the other. Three thousand Bitcoins today can have the same effect that required fifteen thousand Bitcoins last January.

I am sitting next to my grandmother. No joke.
When that popped up I slammed my laptop closed.
I was showing her how I trade Bitcoin and good places I find information
bitcointalk = ok to show
speculation subforum = ok to show, but with grains of salt
wall observer = i´d never show this thread to family members.
There was someone who claimed he was viewing it on a train when someone posted a porn picture here. He said the woman sitting next to him moved to a seat at the other end of the carriage because of it. I'd be really embarrassed reading this thread in public considering that story.

Yes it's another IPO.
The guys at Factom thought it was a good idea to create a pump&dump shitcoin called "factoid" and make a crowdsale out of it.
People bought 2200 BTC worth of the stuff.
It's likely those BTC are gonna be dumped, at least that's what the Ethereum devs did with their pre-sale few months back:
https://blockchain.info/address/36PrZ1KHYMpqSyAQXSG8VwbUiq2EogxLo2https://blockchain.info/charts/balance?address=36PrZ1KHYMpqSyAQXSG8VwbUiq2EogxLo2I remember a document from them saying something like "we will proceed to hedge against bitcoin's volatility (AKA dump)" or something like that. Can't find it tho.
Damn, I remember how the Ethereum IPO Bitcoins were managed. Every so often they would do a huge dump, and Bitcoin's price would crash. They often seemed to pick the worst possible time to dump from both their own point of view, and Bitcoin holders points of view.
When the news of Bitstamp's hack got out and the price had already crashed the Ethereum team decided it was a great time to do a huge dump for really low prices. Right after that we went down to $150.

No pump before the Sweden's Nasdaq addition of BTC
Damn, i wouldn't wanna be a leveraged bull right now. It's comin'...
Who cares about some tiny exchange in a tiny country? Only ETF and stock markets collapse may create another bubble for btc but before that USMS has 40k btc waiting to be sold before the end of june as they promised, so sub 200$ is coming pretty soon.
Can you post a link to where they said they would hold another auction before the end of June? Are there also upcoming auctions in other countries like Australia? I remember the Australian government seized a lot of Bitcoins, but I cannot remember what they said they intended to do with them. They were discussing dumping them on the open market, although I'm not sure what they finally decided.

Newbie rule?
Please?
These days I look at post count before reading the post.
I wish we could separate the speculation section into two parts. One for the bulls and one for the bears.
Who gets custody of ChartBuddy?
We could use an algorithm with artificial intelligence to switch between giving the bulls custody of ChartBuddy when the price is going up, and giving the bears custody when the price is going down. The bears could then happily ignore the fact the price is going up, and the bulls could happily ignore the fact the price is going down. That should keep everyone happy.

Unsure if we can class a 2-3 USD rise as a 'pump'
Any kind of rise is nice but I think we need to revise our terminology.
Much like when it goes down a couple of dollars it's hardly a dump in the big picture.
Let's have a nice
pump up to 300 by this time next week
It's about time we entered a nice, new, long bull market.
Going from $236.5 to a little over $237 is definitely not a pump. When we finally get some real movement the last few days prices will appear as a completely flat line on the charts. Normally a dollar's movement wouldn't show up, let alone be regarded as a pump.

Less than 11 hours until Nasdaq Stockholm opens it doors for bitcoin trading. Am I the only person excited about that?
EDIT: The exchanges are certainly not showing any signs of excitement...
Maybe tomorrow will be exactly the same as today and the price will stay flat with incredibly low volume. If Nasdaq Stockholm fails to ignite any interest things could continue stagnating for a long time. A few weeks ago everyone was asking if it would go up or down. We all got it wrong, the answer was neither.

The GDP of Sweden is ~0.9% of the world's economy. What's more, they are going to drop their peg to the Euro when Greece defaults and the Kron is going to skyrocket in value. Why would Swedes want our deflationary currency when they are going to have their own soon?
Stockholm Nasdaq is international... More or less anyone can buy/sell there.
Is it backed by the people behind KNC, and are they trust-able? I know there are complaints about mining companies and some of them (like butterfly labs) have pulled massive scams. Who pays the bill if anything goes wrong, is it KNC or an insurance company?

Agreed. And now the price is climbing a little too
Whats the ratio? 1:200?
Yes. 200 notes equals 1 BTC.
1800$ ??
What are the aribtrage-possibilities? As bad as with GTBTC?
The cool thing about this ETN is that there is no limit of "matured shares". The issuer buys more real bitcoin on exchanges if the players want more ETNs. No limits on either bid or ask side!
If prices drop btc to usd on the open global market, then knc credit ratings will play asignificant part on the value of XBT shares.
How good, or bad, are knc's credit ratings?
I know there is at least one, and maybe more, class action lawsuits against them for selling useless mining gear. I don't think any of the lawsuits have gone to court yet, but if they lose will it affect their credit rating?

It's OK its gone back down to $235 again. Someone probably did a big 10 bitcoin dump and crashed the market. Its almost down to $235.5, but the dumpers will probably run out of coins before then.

On your drawing it
has crossed the line.
Nothing too exceptional for high volatile (usually, at least) assets.
Something's happening, its crashed back down to $234.5 now so it must be back below the line. Bitcoin's highly volatile again today.

Banks in Greece won't open this week
I doubt they will until some sort of agreement is reached with the Euro... they will maximize pain until the Greeks give in... or at least they'll try.
The banks are kinda out of money...
They defaulted on their payments to the Eurpean Central Bank. Greek banks are essentially finished.
The Greeks will be asking officially for help from the European Stability Mechanism tomorrow, and the Eurogroup is ready to hold a meeting about it on the same day as the official request arrives. They will probably give Greece at least enough money to last until the latest emergency summit on Sunday. That should prop the Greek banks up for a while longer.

Bearish??
Maid is comming, the new internet will be anonymous
Tor was cracked ages ago. There are stories that most of the exit nodes are either run by scammers of NSA/CIA type organisations. They can launch attacks to crack sessions that pass through the exit nodes they control. The MIT reseachers have only devised yet another way to crack Tor, not the first way. Most Bitcoin users probably never think about running their wallets through Tor anyway. It's not very likely to make any difference to the price.

Not really.People, including yours truly, still have problems withdrawing from Bitfinex.For some dubious reason my account's USD balance on exchange is -18$(negative) even though my BTC balance on exchange is in the thousands of USD. Any withdrawal attempt is automatically canceled for this reason: "Negative balance on wallet exchange".
Please don't full GOX on us bitfinex, pleeeeease.
Seriously,you leave "thousands of USD" in BTC on an exchange
You mention Gox,sooo you have learned nothing from that
Wow
NEVER leave BTC on an exchange...unless of course you don't care if you lose it all
But people predominantly use Bitcoin for trading which necessitates leaving funds on an exchange,and preferably one with the highest liquidity. Bitfinex had the highest USD/BTC liquidity before their system went haywire so if you wanted to trade there you had to gamble it wouldn't Gox you. If nobody left funds on exchanges there would be no trading and Bitcoin would have almost no value. Until we get decentralized exchanges we're stuck with he present state of affairs.

Leaving fiat on exchanges is one thing. Leaving bitcoins is another.
Fiat transfers cost money and take days. Bitcoin transfers cost almost nothing and take minutes.
No one can Gox what's safely in a paper wallet.
Market moves can happen very quickly and it can take an hour to send coins to an exchange and wait for six confirmations. By the time your coins show up in your exchange account a market move can be over. If your coins are in your exchange account you can take advantage of a market move quickly but run the risk of the exchange going haywire.

Apparenty they use the average of four exchanges - including localbitcoins.com. If you click on the settings icon (the cog at the top right) you can select one exchange - localbitcoins is showing $360ish (ouch!)
I don't really understand why people include localbitcoins in things like this - it's not an exchange and it really confuses things.
What volume does localbitcoins have? I cannot believe its got more volume than BTCChina or Bitstamp. If they averaged the price based on both volume and price I suspect localbitcoins would barely make any difference to the average price between exchanges. There's no point using Preev.com to get a reliable average price until they change their averaging method. If they made that minor change they would get far more page views than they do now.

Strangely the price pumped during the last spam attack, and that one delayed transactions, unlike this one. I expected it to crash the price, but Bitcoin often does the opposite of what the majority expect. Maybe the last spam attack generated enough publicity to get people interested again, and that started them buying. I hope this less effective spam attack does as much for the price.

First time I checked the price today & we've shot up into the 290's. How very nice
Let's not have a massive dump shall we & consolidate here or even break 300.
Huobi is $302 now
The Chinese have led this rally but we eventually catch up to their last step up in price at about the same time they have another step up. As 300 is already broken in China it will get broken here, by which time it will be 310 in China. When their banks open on Monday morning the price could go up at dizzying speeds as money hits their exchanges.

Can we get a new price poll for a specific date please? The current poll doesn't really say anything, because nobody knew what the target date was.
The current poll is confusing because nobody expected the Chinese exchanges to be $10 higher than all the others for the last month. $300 got broken ages ago on the Chinese exchanges, and the others are still in the $290s. Should the next poll ask us to guess the averaged price across all exchanges, or the highest price on any, or another option?

When are the next big BTC auctions? I can't wait for this crash
Gonna be lovely. A beautiful disaster. We could see a floor sub $200 again.
This is the last one for the US gov. The Australian gov has 20k something coins to sell though.
The big dagger hanging over our heads is really the 200k gox coins that need to be sold or returned to the victims. I'm sure a percentage of those people will be market selling and dusting their hands of the whole thing.
I'm sure, and maybe you are to, that you are speculating beyond any reasonable basis in reality.
It makes little to no sense to assume that once the 200k gox coins are liberated back into the bitcoin space (in other words put back on the btc market in the hands of various individuals that those individuals are going to, enmasse, decide to dump the coins, or a large majority of the coins).
Your prediction makes little to no sense, if it were to employ actual logic and a morsel of thinking.
Don't you know how bankruptcies work? The lawyers get paid FIRST. There is very little other than those coins to distribute. Creditors and claimants will get almost nothing. Those coins will be SOLD almost entirely to pay the lawyers.
The lawyers have delegated the task of finding out what happened to the disappeared Bitcoins to Deloitte Touche. That company will charge a fortune for any work it does, and after months of investigating no doubt say it can't find out where the Bitcoins went. The lawyers fees combined with Deloitte Touche's fees will eat a big hole in the available funds.

If this is the start of a new downtrend then the 11 (3.5%) minority of voters in the poll who said 290 would be the top were right if you go by Bitstamp prices, and not China prices.

I wouldn't be surprised if pretty much everything coming from any Bitcoin exchange ticker is manipulated by the operators and I think short of raiding the servers of these "companies" there is nothing that can be used as concrete indicator for either possibility.
Maybe not even then... I wonder if the Japanese police has got a clear picture of what happened to the 600 kBTC that disappeared from MtGOX. The crimes that they have charged Mark with so far do not shed light on that question.
The police don't comment on any ongoing investigations, and it can appear they are getting nowhere because of it. They can't give the game away if they are getting somewhere, but need to gather more evidence. They already have enough to charge him with embezzling fiat, and they could be close to getting enough evidence to charge him with stealing Bitcoins.

Disclaimer: I'm full of shit, everything is rosy.Hi,
Maybe a noob question, but what does this mean?
Thx :-)
The chart?
It means that someone moved a lot of old coins (edit: that haven't been moved in a long time). The general assumption is that it is in order to dump on an exchange. Whether or not that is true can be difficult to know, but traders may treat it as a dump signal nonetheless.
When someone moves a lot of old coins that haven't moved in a long time there is often someone here who finds the transactions they moved in and posts them here. I'm not clever enough to track them but I would be grateful if someone who is posts them here for us to see. I'd like to know exactly how long it was since those coins moved.

It's been range bound for the last half a week, and it could go back down to the lower end of the range if the pump's not because of any news, or perhaps it will break out of the range.

Oh yeah, we still have that concentrated mining problem. Fuck.
I think this
could just be a temporary problem depending on what happens with new hardware like bitfuy's mining lightbulbs, the 21inc machines ...
I guess when every screw-in light bulb in US is replaced with Bitfury's "Remember to NOT shut off your lights" bulbs...
Yeah, mining lightbulbs are a colossally stupid idea, but Bitfury makes really efficient chips and it's their mines outside the U.S. AND China that could make Bitcoin truly censorship resistant.
But if electricity costs are lower in China, wouldn't it make sense to mine with more efficient chips there?
Do we all have to sit in the dark then?
Yes if you factor in the cost of connecting all your light bulbs to phone lines. Wouldn't the price of installing all the lines plus all the work re-plastering and redecorating be prohibitive? It's messy and expensive moving one telephone socket from one side of the room to the other. Wiring every light bulb to a telephone line would be a nightmare.

this makes you wonder how mistakes like this happen...
what client were they using?
dosnt core warn you if you try and send a fee that is 100,000times higher then the amount you are sending?
you'd think most wallets have implemented some common sense checks before sending.
It usually happens because someone who doesn't understand how change transactions work in bitcoin tries to spend a portion of the funds in a paper or brain wallet. If you send funds from a paper or brain wallet, you need to make sure to send ALL of it at once to your wallet, then spend a portion from that.
When you spend bitcoins, the amount you spend comes out of chunks you have received (inputs), and usually, there will be at least two outputs - one is the spend, and the other is the change, which is sent back to an address you own. If you create a transaction that spends from one or more inputs without spending ALL of the funds contained in those inputs, and you don't provide an output to a change address you own, any funds in the inputs that exceeds the spend will become transaction fees paid to the miner that mines the block containing the transaction.
All software and hardware wallets, as far as I know, handle that stuff for you, and yes, Core, at least, will warn you if you try to send with an excessive manual fee.
An article on coindesk says it's suspected the transaction was from a mixing service, so either the service itself might have made the mistake, or one of its users might have made it. Ironically the pool that mined it says it will give the fee back if the transaction sender can identify himself. That's not likely if the transaction was from a mixing service.
If a mixing service lets users make fee size mistakes like that its crap. They should have a check in place to ensure it's not ridiculously big.

The option with the least amount of votes is usually the one that's correct. If it plays out like that again we can expect the $440 option with only 2 votes and 1.4% of the total votes to be the price on May day.

That Gatecoin crap about by-passing the multi-sig cold storage sounds very similar to the Karpeles crap about a leak in the Gox cold wallet.

very rough numbers.

Security of user information and funds is our first priority.
Every detail is analyzed to avoid security holes. We pride ourselves on being the most secure Bitcoin exchange.
Good, from now on, we know that losing roughly around 120K bitcoins it's something to be proud of.
Not even dignity is available anymore. That security page is quite disgusting.
The only security will come from the complete closure of the exchange
They are trying to cover themselves with a risk disclosure statement. The fourth bullet point in it says you have to be aware there is a risk of the exchange getting hacked leading to you losing all your coins. It's no wonder they put their security statement bragging about how secure they are on a different page.

If they were all buying coins to get cash out of MtGox they would have immediately dumped them on another exchange and banked the money. More of them must have continued holding than were selling otherwise the price wouldn't have bubbled.

Agree, but from the things you mentioned only Coinbase-hack and (a real) China-ban would mean trouble. Nobody expects Segwit to get activated at the moment, Polo is not important for BTC-Fiat markets and ETF would only mean upside potential as there is so far not much hype around a potential ETF approval.
On the flip side bull markets can get triggered just as fast too. Banks and countries going bankrupt could trigger a hyper bull market.
India and Venezuela removing notes from circulation probably helped this bull run. Bigger events like country bankruptcies could turn it hyper bull. Bitcoin pumped when Greece was facing bankruptcy.

OK - looks like someone somewhere is having a final push for the line and wants BTC to end the year on a high note.
I'm in the UK - 6 hours to midnight. How far can the price go in 6 hours ?
What will be the price this time tommorrow ?
My guess - in the range $975 - $985 on Stamp
Happy New Year to all bitcoin evangelists everywhere - we are the early adopters still.
It's 02:11 on Sunday, 1 January 2017 in China. That's too late for them to see $1000 Bitcoins in 2016. There's still a slim chance other countries might see $1000 Bitcoins in 2016, but a greater chance of sideways prices.
Ahhh but Hu boy did see $1000
BTC in 2016...they reached 6990 CNY.
I was unaware of the Chinese prices. I just checked BTCC and that reached 6966 ($1003), and OKcoin beat Hu boy by reaching 7007, so the top three China exchanges all reached $1000+ in 2016.

I am expecting, in a couple of hours, the last pump of this rally, taking us to about 1100$, spending a couple of days there before crashing 40%.
To be sure of catching it, I had to wake up early on the 1st January, grrr...
You could have had a nice lie in today instead of getting up early for that pump to about 1100$. A piddley $10 pump was all we got.

Anyone know why btc-e is lagging so much behind?
It normally lags behind all the other exchanges. These are the ATHs on stamp, finex, and btc-e.
Bitstamp $1163
Bitfinex $1175
Btc-e $1095
It was $70 to $80 below the others in the 2013 high. As others said it's got something to do with trading and withdrawal fees. It might cost more to withdraw from btc-e because it uses different fiat withdrawal channels to the others.

Who is leading this 'dump'? It would be nice to see 1000$ hold.
Bearstamp has overtaken bitfinex in volume (according to bitcoinity) now a dump's started. But coinmarketcap contradicts that by showing bitfinex has twice the 24 hour volume of bearstamp.
China can't be leading it because its volume dropped since it went to sleep.

To get past the FT paywall, you can google "bitcoin site:ft.com". Clinking on the returned links bypasses the paywall. Works for WSJ and others as well.
I checked the ft paywall and they don't accept Bitcoin as payment. They only take credit card, paypal, or direct debit. Someone should tell them to accept Bitcoin.

I believe it will work, just wait another 12 hours. If I'm right, this was just a tiny dump, a larger one should follow in about 12 hours.
But you predicted a pump to about 1100$ on New Year's day. You got up early for it, but it took another four days to go that high. What makes you think you can be so accurate today when your New Years's day prediction was out by four days?

If it does crash I think it will be a small correction, not a 40% correction. It could carry on up past the Gox ATH without many downs.

I have a problem with this price rise:
As many people know, I fix people's bitcoin miners for bitcoin payments. Thus I have to account for my time, skills, experience, and material costs (damn FPGAs are expensive when they blow up). I price my work in bitcoin because I want this currency to have a reason to exist other than as a speculation thingie.
Problem is the fluctuations: If I charge .3btc for a service and bitcoin drops from 600 to 300 I don't want to raise my bitcoin prices so I kept them constant. Likewise if it goes from 600-1200 I don't want to change my prices for the same basic reason (I'm doing work for a certain amount of bitcoin). But if it keeps going haywire, what do I do? What's fair? And at what point am I simply doing work for dollars instead of Bitcoin?
It's complex.
GM! 1100.00 anyone?
Ya if you keep your fixed BTC rate your customers will go pay cash somewhere else.... cheaper than the fixed rate in BTC. Somewhere along the line you do need to compensate for your rates when BTC was low and you took the hit. I would reward myself a little extra for as long as you can, after all, the miners you maintain would not benefit the owners if they were not running
He could charge in dollars though bitpay, and keep the Bitcoin as long as the price keeps rising. If the price starts falling he could receive in dollars and buy back Bitcoins during the dips. Or he could choose what percentage to receive in Bitcoin, and what percentage to receive in dollars.
There is the risk Bitpay could get hacked again though.

There must have been people who sold at $140 at the start of the 2013 rally because the price had quickly doubled up from $70. Afterwards the best chance of buying back in they would get is at about $200 over a year later.

I don't want to talk about how many I sold at $3 because the price had tripled. I was going to be making huge profits on my GPU mining at $1, so there was no way $3 was sustainable.
I heard about Bitcoin when you could CPU mine it, but thought it would never catch on. There must be thousands of people who missed out on a slice of the pie in the early days. On the positive side we might be like the early adopters in five years from now. People could be talking about milli Bitcoins the way we talk about Bitcoins by then.

People couldn't believe it hit $1000 in 2013. Now they've had a few years to get used to the concept it might reach another price people can't believe. $10000 doesn't sound unreasonable. A 10x pump is a modest pump by Bitcoin's historical standards.

right a quick look at the recent blocks suggest that your 400byte TX should have been ~50cents fee for it to confrim on the next block.
fees are really high these days...
What lite wallet would have sent a ~50cents fee for that transaction if set for maximum auto fee? I haven't bothered to check how they calculate automatic fees until now, I just set them on maximum if the mempool was getting spammed. At ~50cents fee I'm wondering if the automatic maximum is enough to avoid a a stuck tx.

That group of investards paid off his huge debts to the Oz taxman in return for his "BTC patents". He has to keep bullshitting them the same as he had to keep bullshitting the Oz taxman that he is Satoshi. If he really was Satoshi he would have proved it by now to get himself off the hook.

It's gone back over $1000 for the last few hours, and it was below $600 last summer. There is no problem. The bears say it might go down to $700 or $800 before more up, and the bulls say more up with little to no ore retrace. Either way it's going up in the long run.

How does it work
Same as casinos. Get the punters gambling against each other while raking in the vigorish (exchange fees). The higher the stakes, higher the fees.
With unregulated Bitcoin exchanges, they can manipulate the prices enough to trigger the big payoff, margin calls.
It's bad enough to have a zero on the roulette wheel (and a double-zero in some places) but it's the hidden button that really hurts.
Margin trading isn't investing. It's gambling.

I find it kind of unbelievable that a silly note from the PBOC is the reason for the crash. As if people didn't see that coming. The 2013/14 bubble was pricked by the PBOC and the market took 3 years to recover. I don't think a 3 year consollidation is so flimsy as to just roll over and die on one predictable PBOC memo.
Looks more like a simple bit of Huobi whalery to me (possibly with PBOC co-operation, who knows
)
We've seen these mega dumps before in the last few months and the market just consolidates for a while and moves on. This one was bigger because the rise was bigger.
Lets see what happens. 2hr Hobular momentum histogram about to go to the upside which will help to pull the 4 and 6-hour charts round. After that we'll start to see what the longer term trend is.
The PBOC little note news didn't have time to spread before the crash. The wires of fiat to the banks were probably delayed and disrupted by the new year holidays. It was due a correction, and delays in fiat getting to exchanges probably intensified it.

That's a good thing, right??
Yes, it's code for "To $10k"..
Whoop whoop! I can live with that
There were a few threads in November 2013 discussing the formation of a cup and handle. In this quote from 2013 they were speculating the bottom of the handle was the crash to $180, and that the top of the handle might be $300-$500.
They were too pessimistic, it went to over double that, more than $1100. I'm hoping history repeats itself and we are all being too pessimistic. If we are it could go to over $20k, but I'm pessimistic about it.
A large amount of capitulation (and potential handle) already can be seen from a few weeks ago ("crash" from $230 to $180 or whatever, and the following week).
Yeah, it's really difficult to tell what we might expect to see (obviously), but, it's reasonable to imagine that the launch from the 140-declining-to-130 handle in September could start a run that goes for 2,3,4 or more months with no major corrections. If that happens, we will look back and see the cup-and-handle for what it was-- a sign of yet another level (speculating maybe 300-500 range).

There were a few threads in November 2013 discussing the formation of a cup and handle. In this quote from 2013 they were speculating the bottom of the handle was the crash to $180, and that the top of the handle might be $300-$500.
They were too pessimistic, it went to over double that, more than $1100. I'm hoping history repeats itself and we are all being too pessimistic. If we are it could go to over $20k, but I'm pessimistic about it.

What was the timeframe between the bottom of the handle and the top of 1,2k?
Probably about six weeks, which was much faster than they expected. There was a coindesk article released today that discusses the differences between then and now. Everything seems slower this time, and we don't have MtGox to wreck a rally.

the bears are mounting an attack. Seems bitstamp is the leader of the pack, already < $900
seems $900 is holding for now.
makes me happy because it lessens the danger of $780 being broken to the downside.
on the other hand: maybe the bears are just reloading...
anyway... I could live with another half or full year of consolidation between $500 and $1000, but that'd be fucking boring as hell.
Stamps books look thin on both sides. 1000 BTC dump takes us down to the mid 800s, the same as a buy is way up in the mid 900s.
Which way, I have no idea - but it doesn't look that bullish to me. Am all fiat on Stamp, waiting to see what happens.
There's about 135 Bitcoins of bids down to $900, and about 135 Bitcoins of asks up to $927 on stamp. Big walls keep going up and down beyond those limits. It will probably be range bound for a few hours.

it will reach the 1100 again very soon, the question is if it's going to hold this time, I think it's likely to fall a little bit once it hits 1166 again lol
It could continue up to the MtGox ATH of $1242 this time. IMO that's the next resistance. If it breaks through that $2000 should be broken through soon afterwards.

Japanese volume doesn't get mentioned so much, but it's the one that's been on the ascendant.
Bitflyer FX has done nearly 50K today, although they are currently zero fee, so...
Coincheck charges fees so its volume is *probably* real. Coinmarketcap has put it at third place for volume today. It's put Bitflyer into the exchanges marked with a * because they don't charge fees.

I admire the idea, which requires a morality and respect for truth, but without the existence and enforcement of law individual rights would again be sacrificed to mobs, bullies, cartels, and bullies in general.
Now I am a fan, so don't get me wrong. I want the smallest government possible, in order to protect individual rights of individuals, and I see centralized ANYTHING as evil in outcome, but humans aren't ready for no laws and enforcement,,,yet.
So do you want an an anarcho-syndicalist government where we take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week, where all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting, by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs?

mtgox is not alive anymore and not listed in Bitcoinwisdom, so that must be the reason
and btcex is closed since 2012 it seems, so the reason why there is no data about them
I don't know where get so precise data about ancient dead exchanges and why would you need them
Well,
http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/csv/mtgoxUSD.csv.gz is available (but due to the sheer size hard to query) so I thought it'd be a bug or something? You are right thought that
http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/trades.csv?symbol=bitstampUSD is still working.
I'm interested on precise old mtGox data because mtGox dictated the market price in early (up until 2011 at least) years and I want to analyze the data. Starting 2012 I can switch to Bitstamp I guess but a shame to not have access to the data before that.
edit:
Bitstamp starts in September of 2011 on bitcoincharts
This mega download is still working. It might be useful to you, although it's gigabytes of data when extracted.

Since December 19th, 2011 every ~1000secs (17-18mins)

Why would they freeze it? Just let them convert to fiat...then ask for KYC information to withdraw the money.
Mainly because of legal implications, plus all the publicity those coins have. Also they get a 5% reward for each Bitcoin they can return to Bitfinex. Obviously 5% of 0.4 Bitcoins isn't worth much to the Kraken. However if the hacker deposited a substantial quantity on other exchanges they could legally make a nice profit from freezing, then returning the coins.

Yes, unless enough other members of your family get imprisoned to reveal the private key. If hammering rocks in the gulag/torture is enough to make you reveal a private key, it's probably also enough to make you reveal which members of your family hold a shared secret.

Likewise if they are torturing you for information and you don't have it but they think you do then you will be in for what one could call a "really long night". Better to use steg and a variation of rubber hose to double encrypt keys to two wallets, one with some money to satisfy the torturers, the other with the real money.
Of course
torturers could torture everyone further to look for a "second key" but at some point they have to go home for dinner and a good game of Splatoon, so that's kind of self-limiting.

(BTDT)
What if there were so many torturers that they could use shifts to take it in turns to torture everyone? One group of torturers could be torturing while another group of torturers could be at home for dinner, and yet another group of torturers could be having a nice day off.

The mainstream media is fickle. For a brief moment it's shouting about Bitcoin, then a week later it gets bored with it and moves onto something else. It takes a good headline to get into the news, like Satoshi's been found or Bitcoins are worth $2000.

Newsbtc reminded me that the PBOC said it would be having more meetings with the exchanges two weeks ago. The PBOC will probably having more meetings with the exchanges throughout 2017. After a few more meetings another one won't even make the news.
The first one made people panic, but the following ones will create less and less of a market reaction until nobody gives a shit about them having yet another meeting.
http://www.newsbtc.com/2017/02/08/pboc-holds-another-constructive-meeting-chinese-bitcoin-exchanges/Another PBOC Meeting, As Announced Two Weeks Ago
For some unknown reason, the market responded negatively to this new PBOC meeting. No one should be surprised by this announcement, as it was clear the bank would have more meetings with bitcoin exchanges. Just because there is a sit down does not mean bad news will be the outcome. Sources claim this new meeting revolves around AML procedures, although that had not been confirmed. Assuming that is the case, it seems unlikely the outcome can be negative for bitcoin.

They are trapped due to AML requirements, so the only way they can 'escape' is to convert themselves to fiat and leave via the front door in full view of the authorities.
Someone will buy them, being prepared to wait a month to withdraw them, but they will obviously want a heavy discount for their patience.
There is probably a flood of Bitcoin withdrawals from BTCC as it hasn't yet temporarily stopped them. BTCC's customers are probably withdrawing, then dumping on a safe exchange. After they finish dumping the price will probably go back up.

One exchange thinks the PBOC has a hidden agenda. Maybe it's panicking because the yuan keeps crashing while Bitcoin keeps rising.

Going after miners will be tougher, at least the small ones. And I understand that there isn't much of a 'real' bitcoin economy in China. Few merchants accept it as payment. It's mostly used by speculators.
I doubt they will go after miners because if they do they might as well just really ban Bitcoin. They have repeatedly stated they won't ban Bitcoin, they just create a panic every so often.

Can you make an account at either Huobi or OKcoin without giving KYC information provided you don't withdraw fiat? If you can and either exchange suddenly demands KYC information from everyone there will be some customers who would rather lose their Bitcoins than provide KYC.
The PBOC could demand those exchanges hand all those unclaimed Bitcoins to it, then do US style auctions.

less volume, less influence.
their volume will probably go from 40% to 10-20% shortly

Thanks, China!
The PBOC claims its actions are intended to make Bitcoin price less volatile. Ironically every action it's recently taken has created a huge short term dump.
However, who's going to deposit Bitcoins to an exchange that's frozen withdrawals for the next month? If nobody deposits that's less Bitcoins China can dump to suppress the price.

https://status.kraken.com/As you will see also
Website - Major Outage
API - Major Outage
Support - Degraded Performance
Now tell me one thing.... after you visit the site and see that API is not working also...
Who does the trades on Kraken?
? Ghosts?
The Kraken claims its API is still working, but with degraded performance. Maybe if you keep trying trades through the API you might get some that work.
Had 520, 502, and 504 cloudflare errors (used two browsers), while trading seems to be continuing??
We're working to restore access to the site. Trading via API is still possible, but the performance is degraded. The best place to get updates is by following our status page.
https://status.kraken.com/The API was NOT working at all.... there are many reasos why the need write that is working, even with degraded performance, but anyway let's wait some time.
Now regarding the CNY what do you think? some hours from now and we will have second panic sell wave?
I think it depends on exactly what changes the Chinese exchanges made. Two of them stopped Bitcoin withdrawals for a month, but did they also stop access to customer accounts until they send KYC/AML information?
Those exchanges announced they would strengthen KYC/AML procedures after the PBOC meeting. If they suddenly demand KYC/AML information from all customers there could be some who can't provide it. Some probably made their Bitcoins trading on Cryptsy. If they are asked to prove where those Bitcoins came from it's unlikely they will be able to because Cryptsy's owner wiped its servers clean, stole all the money, and went on the run.
If those Chinese exchange customers aren't allowed to access their accounts they can't panic sell their coins, and there will be less panic selling.
If anyone here has a Huobi or OKcoin account can they tell us if they can still access it?

Give it a couple days to a week and this will all be just a bump in the road.
I'm sure.
I love this thread. Rule of thumb. When the consensus is yelling "hodl", sell. When they yell "sell", hodl.
While everyone was yelling hodl yesterday I thought julian071 had made a mistake selling 40% of his stash to pay for a new bike. Now everyone's yelling sell I changed my mind and think he might have picked a good time to sell, and now's a good time to buy back.
>_>
Edit: sold 40% of my stash today.
^ouch

It will be a pleasant surprise to go over $1k again SOON with all that's going on
It probably won't be long.
Only one of the other exchanges besides Huobi and OKCoin will suspend Bitcoin and Litecoin withdrawals.
The others are making minor AML changes like stopping people depositing yuan, then buying and withdrawing Bitcoin in under 48 hours.
OKCoin was fined for AML violations last year, so its shit itself and taken an extreme course of action.
The western exchanges like Poloniex or the Kraken introduced withdrawal limits for tiered verification levels to combat AML. The Chinese exchanges are just following their example, most won't be suspending Bitcoin and Litecoin withdrawals.
http://www.coindesk.com/chinese-exchanges-will-delay-bitcoin-withdrawals/Notably, the policies issued differ from the more stringent halt of bitcoin and litecoin withdrawals imposed by Huobi and OKCoin, which will stop these services for one month. Only CHBTC indicated it would suspend bitcoin and litecoin withdrawals for this duration.
In statements issued by BTCTrade, BTC100 and HaoBTC, the exchanges said that bitcoin and litecoin withdrawals would now be delayed, though they did not indicate they would halt any services.
All indicated yuan deposits and withdrawals would be unaffected, and that anti-money laundering (AML) upgrades were the impetus for the decision.
HaoBTC noted that its new policy was implemented to restrict the ability of its wallet users to deposit yuan, buy bitcoin and then send the digital currency within 48 hours.

Chinese exchanges stop withdraws and the market goes down by less than $100
Almost perfect
It does sound like a fairy tale doesn't it?
With a happy ending now we are living in with the price now over $1000 and nicely rising ever slightly every passing hour.
I do think it is the ETF is to blame for this one.
Is it possible that the Chinese exchanges have been faking volumes even since the last talk with PBoC, which resulted in them starting to charge fees? That would help explain why this week's PBoC intervention hasn't had much of an impact.
I must agree with you on this one. Those Chinese were just trying to trick the West into believing what they want them to believe with more smoke and mirrors to get them in their own clutches for whatever reasoning they have.
I believe what will keep the price stable now is the announcement of the ETF by the Winklevoss's and what that could reap for bitcoin by the ones that are not totally convinced of BTC as a viable option to compete with other fiat and assets like gold and silver for that matter.
We will just have to wait and see what the SEC has to say now.
Nay or yey!
Do you guys actually think the people that for some reason want to buy Bitcoin now are waiting with such furious intent to buy into an ETF that on March 11, the money will just start flowing like a rap music video?
I believe the money will trickle in at first and the Bitcoin economy won't see any real money for 2 to 3 months after, June-ish.
September 21, 2017 save the dateI'm not convinced it'll happen at all. I am usually bullish on these matters but I just can't see it happening.
More then likely, it doesn't happen and then commence post speculation dump
Who knows if the ETF will be approved? But if it is there will be a large new source of liquidity at a time when bitcoin is making the news for its ath and use as a store of value.
The Greece crisis is due to start again, and it gave Bitcoin a healthy pump previously. The risk of a country going bankrupt, defaulting on its debts, and issuing a new currency will get people buying Bitcoins.

ASSUMING above is true. CAN the masses in China move Yuan still in some manner outside of the country, with the exchanges located outside, in a large manner to support
Yes, according to razor-forex there has been a huge spike in Chinese Local Bitcoins trading volume. Some traders are paying ¥1000 over spot price. The volume is at its highest ever.
The Chinese are deserting their exchanges in favour of Local Bitcoins.
http://www.razor-forex.com/2017/02/chinese-bitcoin-traders-flock-to.htmlBitcoin trading volumes on LocalBitcoins in China hit a new all-time high for the week ending Feb. 11, 2017. Charts from Coin.dance show a surge of ¥6,599,940 worth of bitcoin transactions for that week.
LocalBitcoins volumes in the country have not come close to last week’s figure since the third week of June in 2016, when the last all-time high of ¥5,296,533 was recorded.
The demand in China for bitcoin is so great on LocalBitcoins at the moment, sellers are offering the digital currency with markups as high as ¥1000 over spot rate. At press time, the BTC/CNY rate on exchanges like Huobi is hovering around ¥6800.00.

Price will move to the right. Some up, some down, but mostly right.
Sometimes whales dump coins to test the market's sentiment. None of the latest dumps have frightened the market, so its sentiment is bullish. The price will probably move to the right for a while, then up.

But isn't the FED raising the rate supposed to pump Bitcoin? If there's no ETF, but the FED raises the rate at the same time the two events should cancel each other out, and Bitcoin's price should either stay flat or pump.

Um, I thought it was only Bitcoin withdrawals that were suspended.
People can still sell their bitcoins and withdraw yuan.
______
This is why the price gap is so great between Chinese and western exchanges.
Before the crackdown many Chinese were willing to pay a premium at home for
coins to sell at a discount at western exchanges, so the price was always higher in China. This is precisely one of the major reasons for the crackdown, to stop the outflow of capital. It also explains why prices at the Chinese exchanges were typically $30 higher than in the west.
Now if they want to get their funds out of the exchanges, they're forced to sell at a discount at home and withdraw yuan, over which the government has tight control. Hence the pendulum has swung and prices are typically $30 lower in China.
Sorry, I mean't nobody with coins on Chinese exchanges can dump them on Western exchanges anymore. Those coins on Chinese exchanges are locked out of the worldwide market. They are similar to the coins on Gox before it closed. People are only prepared to buy them at bigger and bigger discounts because they are trapped on an exchange.

Post 17875547 (copy this link) (by HI-TEC99) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_15.03h):
I've been thinking about the same thing. Not sure if it's right, but this is what I came to. I think we've got two key drivers:
1. The percent chance the market believes funds will be made wholly available no later than March 15th. (depressive force)
2. The opportunity cost of not having access to one's coins for this span of time. (depressive force)
This first point is one that isn't a factor...until it is. As long as there is faith/trust that things will open on time, this factor will be close to zero. If/once is becomes non-zero, it could grow quickly.
We watched this play out on Gox. While elsewhere coins had a market value of $413, IIRC...we watched the price gap between GoxBux and other coins spread...$20, $30..$50 spread. As fear gripped the market in the final hours, price plummeted to just above $100 - over a 75% discount of 'real' coins.
To the second, this won't affect the long term HODLers. But those looking for the short term profits, I suspect, will become increasingly pressured to sell 'while the price is still good'. Those most afraid this 1000+ price point is temporary will feel increasing pressure to sell out of fear.
In the end, it always comes down to fear and greed.
If internationally, we saw prices diverging, and going up...then I think greed would take over, and risk-tolerant investors would inject cash into the chinese exchanges in order to buy 'cheap coins', knowing they will be inaccessible for up to a month, and knowing they run a risk of not getting what they put in. The extent we see this will be visible by buying volume on exchanges, and would counteract both of the above, depressive forces.
...however, with the ETF decision looming, I don't think we'll see such price divergence, but rather sideways action until the decision.
Good points.
I agree that many people are taking a wait-and-see approach with so much up in the air. Both the ETF decision and the announced end of the withdrawal freezes are almost a month away. I also think we're headed mostly sideways for a few weeks yet.
In the short term, I think we'll continue to see a very gradual creeping upward due to the temporary supply/demand imbalance from the freeze.
The real action starts in March.
Although there is an announced end of the withdrawal freezes, it comes with the caveat that the Chinese exchanges will be using enhanced AML/KYC procedures afterwards. If they adopt draconian AML/KYC procedures a significant percentage of their customers still won't be able to withdraw their Bitcoins because they won't have all the paperwork required to comply with draconian AML/KYC.
That could sustain the supply/demand imbalance after the "end of" the freeze.

There is a LOT of buy support over the last few days, much higher than normal. Instead of 5, 10, or 20 blocks of coins being purchased, there's a steady stream of larger whale buys of 100 coins at a time. This indicates one of three things:
1) Someone is front running a Bitcoin ETF approval w/ insider trading
2) Someone has no idea if the ETF will be approved but is buying just in case
3) There were some insolvent Chinese exchanges that are now having to purchase at top dollar
I'd say number 3 seems like the probable answer. What do you think?
Edit. It could be all of them! 3 of 3
And 4)...
It could be neither of the 3 mentioned above. People just don't care about ETFs or Chinese exchanges. They want to have at least 1 full bitcoin.
Maybe, but sometimes after a big exchange gets hacked it keeps it quiet and tries to make the lost coins back through the trading fee revenue. If the PBOC is auditing such an exchange it has to buy the lost coins back fast or get caught out. Options three plus people who want to have at least 1 full bitcoin could be jointly responsible for the latest step up to £1050.

If a court liquidates OKccoin before the end of its withdrawal freeze the Bitcoins on the exchange could get locked up indefinitely, until a receiver shares them out. That would help maintain the supply/demand imbalance on other exchanges. There's not enough coins to satisfy demand as it is.

Then why has no one been caught for all these high profile thefts / hacks?
Why would they be? Mixers and things like monero (just a built in mixer on-chain) aren't illegal...yet. There will come a time when using a mixer will be a conviction for laundering by default and all transactions will be to and from fixed address alias systems. Everything outside of that will be considered criminal and the coins will be blacklisted. The side effect of a non-fungible currency = permissioned ledger. You're not getting around governments co-opting any digital currency system made. Even Satoshi says the same thing via two quotes: "bitcoin does not solve political problems" and
"bitcoin will buy us only a few years".
Where did Satoshi say that?
Googling it resulted in nothing, and neither did a search of the white paper.

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/localbitcoins-records-global-time-high-chinese-volume-5x/It’s all the more notable that LocalBitcoins remains blocked in China due to the country’s state-imposed firewall.
“We’re already technically blocked in China as our site uses, among other things, Google’s re-captcha system,” a LocalBitcoins staff member wrote on a social forum. “As all Google resources are blocked in China you can’t log in to our site from mainland China unless you use a VPN.”

I wonder what they're using it for. Buying coins as they wait to get back on an exchange expecting it to be somehow higher? Or doing some of that mythical capital flight? I'm kind of surprised by the figures.
According to cointelegraph the Chinese traders are flocking to the Japanese exchanges. They must be buying on localbitcoins, then sending those Bitcoins to the Japanese exchanges. I wouldn't deposit on any exchange that won't let me withdraw for another month, and neither will most Chinese traders.

You only need to know the "trend":
Has the establishment / authorities, ever done anything to pump BTC? No. They have done exactly the opposite (hammering BTC with "negative news"). And BTC rises despite these.
The establishment's attitude could be changing. The EU is debating new rules to stop any company discriminating against any customer based on where his IP says he's located. The debated new rules specifically include consumers paying with virtual currencies.
Most companies accepting Bitcoin refuse to do business with New York residents out of fear of the Bit License, but the proposed new EU rules would compel EU companies to do business with them. That could help pump Bitcoin.
http://www.coindesk.com/eu-lawmakers-propose-to-ban-geo-blocking-of-digital-currency-users/A European Parliament committee has proposed new measures that would prevent location-based discrimination against consumers in the economic bloc, including users of digital currencies...
The draft document states:
“The Commission should assess whether to provide the legal framework that allows, subject to the freedom of contract principle, the protection of undertakings and consumers when the transaction is carried through alternative modes of payment, including virtual currencies, other blockchain type transactions and ewallets.”

Indeed. I'm considering shorting before the allegedly 'catastrophic' ETF news causes the inevitable selling, just so I can accumulate more coins prior to the impending shot at the moon!
That's a huge gamble.
Everyone thought the US would ban Bitcoin before the last ATH, and people dumped in droves in the hope of buying back lower. When the US announced it had decided not to ban Bitcoin it immediately went to the moon leaving the dumpers crying.
If the ETF gets approved the dumpers will be crying while Bitcoin immediately moons, and if it doesn't get approved Bitcoin will moon sooner or later anyway.

I think everyone agrees that it is more likely that the ETF will be denied, so it is priced and nothing would in practice.
I'd guess plenty of people have taken a bet on a yes. I expect a fair few of them to do a runner in the case of a no. It's the most exciting bit of action on the horizon so if it's not happening then there might be a short term sag. Everyone loves potential hype.
Some traders are speculating there will be a bit of a dump before they announce the ETF decision. They think a significant number of the traders anticipating a no will take profits early. In the long term I don't think it matters, Bitcoin's price will soon recover from the latest bad news.

I know the odds are against it but I can't help thinking maybe it might just pass. I mean, bitcoin is going to happen anyway and the SEC, the governments can't really control that and they must know it. But an ETF would give them the ability to control the big money that goes in and out of bitcoin even if they can't control bitcoin itself. An ETF would open up a huge regulatable gateway to bitcoin, of which the government can play gatekeepers to their heart's content! If the SEC sees it that way, I think it's in
Blockchain is the latest business buzzword, despite most business people not having a clue what it is. The ETF might get approved simply because someone important heard its got something to do with blockchain.

The Dilbert cartoon below is based on the level of knowledge most business people have about the blockchain. I bet the people at the SEC have been told 'blockchain' will revolutionise business, and if they don't approve the ETF then 'blockchain' will be distressed.

the SEC disapproval dip will be the new silk road busted dip.
with extra drama. and unforeseen highs. mark my words.
The SEC approval pump might be the new US decided not to ban Bitcoin pump to a new ATH.
Over the last three years we had Gox, China bans Bitcoin, the bitstamp hack, and the bitfinex hack holding the price back. We're getting desensitised to bad news we've had so much of it. A SEC disapproval won't hold the price back for long if it happens.

I mean back in the day we used to wipe our ass with 5-10% rises... now it's considered "moon" and we haven't even broken 2013 ATH. That is not moon. I miss the days of 10X-50X rises which will probably never happen again.... especially if people are putting $1000 price on a pedestal
The more mature the Bitcoin currency becomes, the less wild swings we will have.
Not jumping 10X-50X is a good thing.
Bit harder to have 10x-50x rise when the price as high as it is, compared to $10 or $150
How come it is only the US exchanges that have not broken the all time high
Europe, Australia and china seem to have broken it
Probably because the dollar's stronger against those other country's currencies now than compared to three years ago. It was 1.37 euros to the dollar in December 2013, but today it's 1.05 euros to the dollar.

I can't imagine any charting site would include OTC stuff. They'd be all over the place and I'm sure such sites don't necessarily want to publicise sales. That would go against everything OTC is about.
Itbit seems to make a big appearance every now and then and then disappear once more.
After some Googling I found out that itBit used to keep its OTC trades secret, but then collaborated with TradeBlock to publish them. Maybe they did it because itBit's more regulated than most exchanges.

Stamp just passed resistance and nothing more than a golf clap around here.
I think that there is a difference between making a new three year high and "passing resistance"
When I think about passing, I think about going past it.. above and beyond and maybe even having a bit of a cushion, with either time or price. In this case, we passed it for only about 5 minutes at most, and it was above and below and above and below...
I still do think that our odds are pretty strong to shoot into the $1200s in the coming hours or even in the coming days... .. yet continued slow, is not bad, either.. I mean can you imagine going slowly up to $1500 or something like that? Seems like a long shot now, but it would be an interesting (and probably less likely) phenomenon if price rises were to play out like that, this time.
If the 790 Bitcoin ask wall on stamp gets eaten the next big wall starts at $1196 and ends at $1200. Getting into the $1200s soon is increasingly plausible. Stamps just gone back up to $1141, the buying pressure isn't slowing.

their buy in was at the $10 mark mainly i think. they've been at it for five years now and arrived long before many people here. they definitely ain't johnny come latelys.
If they bought $11M worth of bitcoin around $10/btc, then they would have a million bitcoin.
Impossible, no way in hell that they have 1 million bitcoin worth over $1T.
Unless I'm confused and they had $11M worth of bitcoin in 2013 at $120/btc?? That would mean that they only invested like $1.1M in 2012 at $10/btc, giving them ~100K bitcoin.
1 million would be $1 billion, not $1 trillion.
However, I believe that the number the claimed is 21000 or 1/1000th of the supply limit. 0.1%
Yeah, had a brain fart on that calc, typed a T instead of a B. But I think I answered my own question, they must have invested around $1M or so in 2012.
If we assume their main stash was their 65 million Facebook payout, 1 million was bold but not suicidal. I'm doubt they would've gone much beyond that at such an early stage.
And that 1 % figure was the supply at the time they bought in 2012. I'm pretty sure 100,000 is the most common figure bandied about.
That's what businessinsider says they own. It estimated 108,000 Bitcoins bought at a maximum of $15.40 each. That was 1% of all coins when there were only 10.8 million Bitcoins mined.
http://www.businessinsider.com/the-winklevoss-twins-bitcoins-2013-4?IR=TThe Winklevii — as they are popularly known — say they own nearly 1 percent of that, or some $11 million."
There are 10.8 million bitcoins out there, so that means the Winklevii own about 108,000 of them.
...the Times notes that the 31-year old identical twins began buying up Bitcoins last summer. As of August 2012, the highest value Bitcoin reached was $15.40, so they are still sitting pretty.

Good question, I've been wondering the same thing along the lines of will the ETF offer shares in coins that the Winkies already own (not affecting the market) or will new coins be bought up quickly according to demand (cue market)?
Coindesk says the maximum offering price for each share has been lowered to $10, which suggests they will sell for whatever they can get for their shares, up to a maximum of $10 each.
http://www.coindesk.com/winklevoss-bitcoin-etf-100-million/...the size of the offering has increased, from $65m to $100m, as well as a boost in the number of shares being offered, from 1m shares to 10m shares.

I noticed bitcoinity showed itBit as the USD volume leader during the pump, although its dropped to third place now. Bitcoin.com claims itBit makes its OTC trades publicly view-able, so I suspect bitcoinity includes its OTC trades in the volume calculations.
Was the fact itBit suddenly took over as volume leader due to somebody buying OTC coins for the ETF?

That's the decision deadline. There's no associated meeting. They might already have made up their minds. Falling on a Saturday is a bit of a weird move indeed. I've read elsewhere that no ETF has ever passed by doing nothing, which is what some people are expecting here, and there's no way something so new and complex would pass like that either.
We'll know either way before that Saturday I expect.
Absolutely no way ETF goes through.
But you think it will have an effect? Why should it makes btc rate drop? Any correct trader knows the chances are low no?
I remember there was a crash after one of the US marshals auctions, and most of us expected a crash after another, but there was a rally instead. It's difficult predicting Bitcoin's price movements, and it often does the opposite of what's expected. There could even be a pump after an ETF rejection, although most of us expect rejection to lead to a dump.

Well that's ok. Let the machine cool off for a while before shifting back to full throttle.
Less than a week ago we had yet to break the bitstamp and bitfinex ATHs. Since then we have bounced below and above them a few times, and we might continue bouncing above and below them for another week or two. Eventually we will break the fake Gox ATH, but this time with real trades, not fake willy bot trades on an exchange that won't let you withdraw fiat.
Ironically when the Gox ATH breaks on the Chinese exchanges it will be on exchanges that won't let you withdraw Bitcoins, and that should be suppressing the price.

I think that if the COIN ETF does get approved, any price action leading up to it is kinda irrelevant. What would be more relevant and telling is where the price goes after that, and what it would be by the end of the year.
It being the end of the month and March just a day away, do you still think this ETF will be passed and we will be able to freely purchase them and add to our portfolios now?
Or is it all just a bunch of bull and there will be nothing in just less than 2 weeks from now?
I can't guess if the ETF will be passed. However, the FED raised the rate in mid December, right before Bitcoin pumped, and it's due to raise the rate again at about the time the ETF decision is released. If the ETF gets denied Bitcoin will probably pump anyway because of the FED raising the rate, and if the ETF gets approved Bitcoin will probably pump twice as high.

I couldn't believe that wall got eaten so fast. I'm hesitant to guess $1300 for today, but the speed the price is moving has me wondering. I'm starting to wonder if we will see 5x the current ATH in the next few months. We haven't had a 2013 style rally in years, it's about time for another.

I recently found out the contract I am on here in Afghanistan is going away in a month or so. I had originally planned on working out here 2 years and quitting to develop seasteads. I am seriously considering starting a lot earlier.
I was searching for your post announcing you sold your house, and finally found it. Congratulations on a wise life changing decision, and dealing with all the trolls and FUD while Bitcoin's price was flat.
Sold my house this week. My mortgage was the last thing requiring me to have a bank account. Last mont my landlord started taking bitcoins for rent. He is happy.
Now to get all of that equity into bitcoins quickly.

There's that Stamp bidwall again. LOL
This time it barely lasted seconds.
It is most certainly a strange $1+m being moved up and down. My theory is that if the SEC is planning on accepting the ETF, they would be buying Bitcoin up to the approval itself.
A week ago I was speculating they might be buying OTC Bitcoins on itBit, and that might be the reason it suddenly took over as volume leader during a pump. Its OTC market only deals in trades of over 100 bitcoins, and it's more regulated than most exchanges, which would suit the twins.
*snip*
I noticed bitcoinity showed itBit as the USD volume leader during the pump, although its dropped to third place now. Bitcoin.com claims itBit makes its OTC trades publicly view-able, so I suspect bitcoinity includes its OTC trades in the volume calculations.
Was the fact itBit suddenly took over as volume leader due to somebody buying OTC coins for the ETF?
https://news.bitcoin.com/itbit-tradeblock-blockchains-big-data/ItBit’s collaboration with TradeBlock will enable its clientele and the public to view its Over The Counter trading data, which will give more perspective and resolution to the exchanges OTC transactions.

I wonder when the chinese will catch up. Normally they'd be at $1.5k already lol
Another couple of weeks btc withdrawals might resume at the Chinese exchanges. Let's see what happens then.
I can't confirm if it's true, but someone in the Bter trollbox says Bitcoin withdrawals are now enabled again. Bter froze all Bitcoin and Litecoin withdrawals for a month like all the other Chinese exchanges. If Bter really has enabled withdrawals the other Chinese exchanges might enable them again soon.
Will that pump the price further up?

bter has been effectively dead since their hack all those years ago. they never seem to respond to support any more and volume is tiny. weird that the government would pay them any attention.
I think the Chinese government might have ordered all Bitcoin exchanges to freeze Bitcoin withdrawals, even the smallest exchanges.
Cointelegraph suggests OKCoin might be gearing up to enabling withdrawals again too. Although the information getting released from OKCoin isn't crystal clear.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-pushed-by-okcoin-getting-ready-for-relaunch-china-money-supply-increaseOn March 1, OKCoin representatives told their users on WeChat, a popular Chinese messaging platform with over 700 mln users, that the exchange is approving the transfer of Bitcoin and Litecoin from their .com to .cn site.
Basically, OKCoin is approving users transferring their user funds stored on the global OKCoin trading platform to their Chinese site because the company’s .CN platform is nearly ready for approval by the PBoC and relaunch.
An OKCoin representative stated:
“Transferring Bitcoin from our domestic site to international site is not supported. But, transferring Bitcoin from international to domestic site is allowed.”
At the time of writing, it is difficult to conclude whether this means that OKCoin users will soon be able to withdraw their funds in Bitcoin and Litecoin.
editBitcoin.com says some Chinese exchanges are now allowing withdrawals without officially announcing it. However, BTCC now requires ID card and video verification to withdraw, which will lock a lot of coins on the exchange as some customer's won't comply.
https://news.bitcoin.com/a-regulatory-storm-is-forming-in-china-video-verifications-required-futures-forbidden/a source from the region tells Bitcoin.com that new rules have been applied for certain Chinese exchange withdrawals. It seems some exchanges are allowing withdrawals with no official announcements. Our correspondent also explains that withdrawing from BTCC now requires ID card and video verification.
Apparently the PBOC is now disregarding Bitcoin and cracking down on other types of exchanges like oil futures, and precious metal exchanges.
The central bank’s regulatory pressure may not be entirely focused on bitcoin trading. The PBOC has also issued warnings to other types of exchanges...
Bitcoin exchanges are not mentioned in the latest warning but targets companies that exchange futures on oil, collectible stamps, precious metals and more.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The March 11 date came about because it is 180 days from the publication of the proposed BATS rule change in the Federal Register - there can be no more 45 or 90 day delays - SEC must approve or reject, with no decision = acceptance (Rule 19, Sec Exch Act of 1934)...
But look at how time periods for publications in the Federal Register are calculated pursuant to 1 CFR 18.17(b):
"Dates certain will be computed by counting the day after the publication day as one, and by counting each succeeding day, including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. However, where the final count would fall on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the date certain will be the next succeeding Federal business day."
That would put us at Monday, March 13 for the deadline.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That's a pertinent bit of detective work.
We were speculating why they made the last possible decision day a Saturday. It seemed strange considering they don't work on Saturdays. Now we know why.
The meeting is 11 of March right?
That means we have exactly 2 weeks from now. Is this normal for USA to hold such meetings on Suturday? it's working day?? and result will be same day or need also wait?
That's the decision deadline. There's no associated meeting. They might already have made up their minds. Falling on a Saturday is a bit of a weird move indeed. I've read elsewhere that no ETF has ever passed by doing nothing, which is what some people are expecting here, and there's no way something so new and complex would pass like that either.
We'll know either way before that Saturday I expect.

Every central bank in every country in the world has said the same thing. The difference with China is that they actually do something about these things.
If the FED's issuing warnings about Bitcoin it doesn't stimulate much faith in an ETF approval. On the other hand they must be aware that an approval's going to pump the price. Maybe the FED's covering itself by issuing a warning before an ETF approval, then it can't get the blame from those who buy at the very top, just before a dump.

This is how much you boring with the price stable i think right? don't worry....some hours to open the banks again... $1300 will be broken soon ?
any ideas?
Yeah, I think $1300 will happen tomorrow. Given all the claims we've had this weekend that the ETF is already approved, regardless of how false thise claims may be, and the banks reopening to let money flow to the exchanges, I think people won't be able to resist taking extra steps to make sure they're on that rocket when it launches
I'm intrigued by Elwar's jump to 3 in his countdown!
I asked before but up to now i had no answer so can you please tell me what are the news regarding the ETF? i saw elwar posted the number 3...
now you tell me the ETF is already approved... what happend?? i left for some hours yesterday and today and i missed all the fun?
This is the "news" about the ETF, although I wouldn't bet the house on it. If I worked for the SEC I wouldn't risk prosecution by blurting confidential news out ahead of time.
My good friend is Pete McMillan and he works as a clerk for the SEC. He sent me a screenshot yesterday of his laptop. On it was the press release for next Wednesday on the Bitcoin Winklevii ETF... So the decision has already been made folks.
I thought this bit of information would silence the debate that has been raging the past few hours. Remember to only invest more than you can afford and never take the advice of anyone that is prepared to give it. Also, remember that no shoes were made for a cobbler's feet before they are first made for his children.

We had a good pump after the weekend before last. Perhaps we'll get another good pump this week too. That wall could be due to money from bank transfers arriving in bitstamp again now the banks are open. We keep getting close to $1300, maybe this is the week we break above it.

Cryptocoinsnews reported the latest PBOC news. A top official says China should look at international efforts to regulate Bitcoin. He also wants to make a ‘negative list’ of Chinese Bitcoin exchanges, whatever that means.
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/101937-2/Today, a central bank official has reportedly been quoted with saying that China ought to make clear its supposed “bottom line” in its supervision of bitcoin exchanges in the country. A Reuters report cites regional newspaper China Business News quoting the People Bank of China’s Zhou Xuedong, the director of the business management department at the country’s central bank.
Zhou, who is also a delegate of the central bank to the national parliament, has also reportedly called for a ‘negative list’ of bitcoin exchanges in the country as a means to reducing financial and market risks.

Alongside his notable quotes in relation to bitcoin exchange supervision today, Xuedong has also called for China to look at regulatory efforts toward bitcoin internationally to establish a regulatory mechanism for the industry.

What's the news again?
Sorry but can someone explain what is the news? looks like bad situation here and incoming sell - not to say dump....
BTCC told its customers it would allow withdrawals again by March 15, but there are emerging reports that some customers have already had their frozen withdrawals processed. That couldn't be the reason for the dump could it?
Personally I think most of them will simply withdraw to their own wallets rather than dump.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-exchange-btcc-tests-withdrawals-before-deadline-localbitcoins-set-recordsMajor Chinese Bitcoin exchange BTCC appears to be testing withdrawals ahead of the planned March 15 deadline.
A user cited by news resource cnLedger on Twitter appears to state they managed to successfully withdraw Bitcoin from their account.
Despite the request being made before BTCC halted withdrawals Feb. 15, it has now nonetheless gone through, prompting positive speculation.
Whatever the reason was for the dump it's back up to $1222 on stamp already.

I'd hardly call it blood in the streets yet. At present it's just a few scabs floating past in the wind and getting caught in your moustache.
Completely agree, this is people panicking that etf isn't going to be approved after a run where people were speculating it was... I can't wait for tomorrow and Friday. if it starts to tank it might just implode several hundred dollars all at once.
I would say this is more caused by China keeping withdrawals off in the exchanges. Doesn't that seem like the heavier influence specifically for today of all days when they were to return?
After the dust settles people will realise that a further delay on Chinese exchange withdrawals reduces the available supply of Bitcoins on the market. If the ETF gets approved that could significantly enhance the resultant pump.
The FUDs at its peak now because the news is fresh and getting plastered all over the internet.
https://themerkle.com/major-chinese-exchanges-announce-extended-bitcoin-withdrawal-delays/OKCoin, BTCC, and Huobi have all announced they will delay the withdrawals once again, as they need to make some more changes based on feedback provided by the regulatory authorities.

i had to run, but here's my comments.
the coindesk article points to another article from the 7th and some dudes speculative tweet as "evidence" that the SEC will make a ruling today.
we remain confident that a ruling WILL NOT be provided today largely because of the ongoing summit meeting thing going on at the SEC right now.
By saying "similarly confirmed" that quote intimates that coindesk spoke to a SEC representative separately from the MarketWatch journalist Ryan Vlastelica. However, it's wording is extremely vague and it could be interpreted to mean only Vlastelica spoke to the SEC.
I suppose the answer to the question is still "how long is a piece of string?"

I think any denial of a Bitcoin ETF would be nearly 100% politically-motivated. It would mean that they (Governments? World Powers?) simply don't want Bitcoin recognized as a legitimate long term financial instrument.
Could this be more true now?
We're talking about a technology which could totally fuck FIAT currencies and all Central Banks in the ass, so I'm sure this could also be a factor.
US Gov does not want BTC recognized as a stable, dependable technology.
ETF would help it get that kind of legitimacy.
The problem is, Bitcoin doesn't need an ETF to become a globally decentralized peer 2 peer cash electronic payments system that can beat out the traditional financial industry.
We can achieve greatness without them. We already have.
Agreed.
China stopped exchange withdrawals, so the Chinese started using localbitcoins and P2P methods of exchange. We don't need no stinking ETF selling paper Bitcoins, and if pushed we don't need no stinking exchanges either.

why would it?
...I fail to see the connection.
This is cointelegraph's explanation of the reason. It's speculating the rate raise could pump Bitcoin beyond $1,300 (again).
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-to-climb-beyond-1300-with-expected-us-fed-rates-increaseOn March 3, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen announced at the Executives’ Club of Chicago that the Fed is likely to increase interest rates later this month. As a result, Bitcoin price is also likely to increase, as the value of reserve currencies including the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan falls.
When the Fed increases its rates, the value of the US dollar naturally increases. Even with a speculation or a forecast from the Federal Reserve, the value of the yen, yuan and the Korean won would fluctuate.
Yellen announced:
“We currently judge that it will be appropriate to gradually increase the federal funds rate if the economic data continue to come in about as we expect. Indeed at our meeting later this month, the committee will evaluate whether employment and inflation are continuing to evolve in line with our expectations. In which case, a further adjustment of the federal funds rate would likely be appropriate.”
Already the Fed announcement is starting to affect the value of the Japanese yen, a currency which has shown more resilience to the increasing Fed rates in comparison to other currencies.
The year-to-date (YTD) return of the Japanese yen against the USD is -2.5 percent and is likely to increase in the upcoming weeks as the Fed prepares to increase interest rates.

I think it might go up after the FED raises the rate next Wednesday. The FED raising the rate will crash the value of a lot of other currencies, and Bitcoiners in those countries will start buying Bitcoins. For examle, if the Yuan starts crashing the Chinese start buying bitcoins.

Play with your emotions, "sense" or so called "feelings"?
That's stupid. I always thought TA is the 1st thing which has to be done before investing any serious money into any kind of investment such as stocks, forex, bitcoin etc.
Stupid are people that don't understand TA is just a graphical representation of their emotions. They see the picture what they want to see.

Gotta feel for the Winkles a little bit. I know they are privileged cocks - but they believe in BTC just the same as the rest of us.
it must be a real pisser to have all that effort thrown away at the last minute, especially when the sec could've saved it all for them years before. i wonder what other options they're looking at. i hope they keep pushing gemini at least.
Can't their ETF be approved later down the line?
technically ya.
but that would be a "completely different application"
i'm guessing years from now MAYBE the SEC could be persuaded to reconsider.
The pdf with the rejection decision in says if Bitcoin gets a shitload more money thrown at it in the future the SEC might consider changing its mind. I'm sure if Bitcoin's value increases 100x the SEC will fast track another ETF.
https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/batsbzx/2017/34-80206.pdfThe Commission notes that bitcoin is still in the relatively early stages of its development and that, over time, regulated bitcoin-related markets of significant size may develop. Should such markets develop, the Commission could consider whether a bitcoin ETP would, based on the facts and circumstances then presented, be consistent with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

Yes ETF rejection was a good thing because it left many people salivating at the mouth to buy Bitcoins!
It was a good thing despite the rejection because of the publicity it gave Bitcoin. How any newbies started taking an interest for the first time after hearing about the ETF? The Silk Road shut down's the last thing that gave Bitcoin so much publicity, and that preceded a massive pump.

Normally, raising interest rates makes a currency stronger.
Yes, hence pulling money out of other asset classes like stocks and arguably bitcoin, all things being equal. I doubt there's much of an effect for bitcoin, if any, but if there was it would be in that direction.
If people's savings can keep pace with inflation (which is also usually held back by high rates) by normal deposit account savings, then why risk it in shares?
Stocks are more popular when money is cheap, but saving doesn't pay much as investors are desperate to get returns that low bank rates will not supply.
Low rates encourage higher risk savings to look more appealing, so higher rates (ordinarily) should discourage riskier investments - such as (arguably) Bitcoin.
This is of course classical economic theory - and often money markets, savers, investors and borrowers don't know enough about the theory to do what it says they should
I thought this was exactly my point! Falling stock prices would generally correlate with a fall in bitcoin, under this theory. In practice I doubt bitcoin traders are a large enough and homogenous enough group for that to hold true.
I wasn't really disagreeing with you, just saying what interest rate rises would normally be expected to do to economic activity in different asset classes. I was 'elaborating' as Lauda asked..
To be honest Honey Badger has been looking such a good buy of late - stock market falls may bring
more money into BTC - I mean, we just went over 1250 - so economic theory ain't much help.
Let's face it, we cannot recall too many economists predicting the banking crash, can we - on the other hand Satoshi's white paper was timed just right for it.
Bitcoin is perhaps more likely to behave as a commodity, more like gold. Gold (in theory) should go down as federal bonds etc pay more - so there is an opportunity cost to holding an asset that pays no interest.
However the last four recorded Fed interest rate hikes have seen gold go up, not down.
So theories are meaningless!
I read that the Yuan and other currencies will crash against the dollar after the FED raises the rate. Wouldn't a crashing Yuan start the Chinese buying Bitcoin again? Although their exchanges froze withdrawals they are now trading in huge quantities on localbitcoins.

That's way above the old bitstamp and bitfinex ATHs. If Bitcoin stays range bound betwen $1210 and $1260 for another month it's a good thing. If it keeps increasing in value too fast it's going to eventually get a hard correction. Slowly increasing in value is better.

Selling is gambling. I made lots of profit because of the easy predicted PBOC dumps. But those dumps lately are very hard to predict. ETF was a huge bulltrap. First huge pump so maybe they have inside information, after that huge dump and bulls got rekt. This dump right now, first slowly decrease. Then decrease stopped so that is a bullish dignal. And then dumb whales do their thing and FUD after that. Man traders are idiots.
This week had a high of $1350 and a low of $975. It's been incredibly volatile, and the price spikes were impossible to predict unless you happened to be a whale buying or dumping. I think most of the spikes triggered stop buys, then stop losses, and cost some traders half their stash.

The next real barrier is £2000 now all the old ATHs are broken. We should break $2000 sooner or later this year. Anyone buying under $1200 will have almost doubled their money by then, and will be wishing he'd bought more when they were cheap.

Not everyone will catch the bottom. Trading is not that different from gambling. But to each their own strategy.
Some traders will wait until they are sure the bottom is in, then buy back. That should result in a significant pump. We are only $100 down from the recent high, and if it continues going back up those traders will have to buy back fast, or lose their profits by buying back at a loss.

Okay another question where do all those coins come from? There has to be a moment the seller sold all his coins. So many sells? I am not amused.
You can endlessly short if you have the capital the exchange has enough coins for you to short. And with no buyers right now, the whale can keep going.
I guess the downside is that the Chinese exchanges have a bunch, since no one can withdrawal BTC right now.
If you have coins on an exchange, pull them off and help the cause.
This asshole will get rekt once sentiment shifts and other big buyers start coming in.
(Or it could just be Roger Ver rage-quitting Bitcoin

I remember a few years ago a whale kept crashing the price. He had millions of dollars worth of coins on high leverage, but eventually get rekt. The price shot straight back up after that. This dump could have someone similar behind it, and lead to a fast pump afterwards.

According to the SEC’s website, Rule 430(b)(1) enables parties to file a notice of petition within five days of the ruling (or within 15 days of its publishing in the Federal Registrar), provided clear reasons for the petition are given.

There's speculation the Chinese exchanges are close to opening withdrawals. Huobi now says the new stringent KYC rules won't apply to most customers. I don't know what effect opening withdrawals will have, but it could alter the sentiment.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-exchange-funds-reporting-not-for-all-users-huobiChinese Bitcoin exchange Huobi has clarified that requests for proof of origin and destination of funds “is just for users with potential money laundering risks.”
In an update to its original circular, which was translated by cnLedger last week, the exchange stressed that other customers would not be affected by the requirements.
Publication of the message sparked speculation that China was about to re-allow Bitcoin withdrawals from exchanges in line with new regulatory moves by the central bank and others.

Thing is, it really isn't about to fork any time soon, not without consensus. I'd be willing to wager that too. Does not matter though, too much uncertainty for new money to bare. The downside to the influx we witnessed these past couple months. Question is, when will the fog lift?
Yeah, $750 could be tested, but I would not be shocked to see one more push up the the 1025 range first.
Zooming out on the charts you can see what looks like a cup and handle. This dump could be necessary before the handle forms. In the long run I'm not worried, I don't think there will be a fork, and sooner or later that handle will form. The best time to buy is when there's blood on the streets, and that's probably now.

That's what I'm hoping for. The price has been held back by so many events for so long that I'm beginning to wonder if the market's stopped caring and just wants to go up regardless of what happens. There's a giant cup in the charts that's just waiting for a 2013 style handle.

Any respectable handle is going to have to cut to $800.
That's not what investopedia says, although trading advice sites vary in their analysis. It says the handle can retrace one third of the gains made by the cup's right hand side. If the gains were $1350 - $150 then they were £1200. One third of that is $400, and subtracting that from $1350 gives $950 as the bottom of the handle. If that works out then Bitcoin's oversold already.
http://www.investopedia.com/university/charts/charts3.aspthe general rule is that the handle's downward movement can retrace one-third of the gain made in the right side of the cup.
On the other hand using chicken bones is often more reliable than technical analysis.

The problem is the total inability for Bitcoin to reach any sort of consensus.
What matters is that it is resolved one way or another. The lack of governance is the real problem, only compounded by the refusal of so many to even acknowledge that there is a problem at all.
As others have said here before me, what makes this crash so difficult to stomach isn't the falling price. We've all seen bitcoin win all sorts of challenges before. What makes this one so disturbing is that the threat is on the inside, bitcoin's lack of governance, lack of ability to say "this is a problem and this is how we're going to fix it" is actually tearing it apart from the inside. I'd rather see bitcoin drop to $200 because of China or the US government than to $900 because of infighting. At least then I'd have some confidence that it would come through, but Bitcoin can only win through if it's in good fighting form and right now it isn't.
Exactly. By the way, I also find it disturbing that some people claim everything is peachy. Cognitive dissonance much?
Bitcoin's back up to $943 so everything is peachy. There is speculation Huobi might start allowing withdrawals again, so China might be unbanning Bitcoin again, which makes everything even more peachy.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-exchange-funds-reporting-not-for-all-users-huobiTo cap it all a number of top devs say there will be no fork and everything is just peachy. Get those cheap coins while you can.

Price will not stay the same! BUcoin price will crash immediately as a result of oversupply, everybody will sell it. The price of Bitcoin will shoot up to the moon firstly, because everybody will convert BUcoins into Bitcoins and secondly, because there will be no obstacles anymore to implement segwit, LN and sidechains.
So we get to keep all our coins, sell the fork's coins for a fair amount of cash, and the coins we hold shoot up to the moon in value?
That sounds like the kind of sweet deal that will entice speculators to buy in advance.

Maybe, but the miners have less coins to dump than in 2014. The massive volume of coins they were mining back then suppressed the price. That's changed since the halving.

There is no mess. Bitcoin is in excellent shape.
One of the major mining pools is insolvent (in bitcoins) and is trying to crash bitcoin in order to conceal their insolvency.
How the heck does a pool go bankrupt?
Can you give a link please.
It's possible, KnCMiner went bankrupt and blamed it on the cost of mining. They said after the halving it would cost them more to mine Bitcoins than they could sell them for.
http://www.coindesk.com/kncminer-declares-bankruptcy-cites-upcoming-bitcoin-subsidy-halving/Sweden-based bitcoin mining firm KnCMiner, a startup that has raised $32m in venture funding from investors including Accel and Creandum, has declared bankruptcy.
Cole claimed that the primary factor was the upcoming drop in the bitcoin transaction block reward subsidy, set to take place sometime in the middle of July.
Currently, when a miner successfully processes a block, they receive a reward of 25 freshly minted bitcoins. Once the halving takes place, the subsidy will drop to 12.5 BTC – an event that effectively cuts a miner’s bitcoin income by half.
Cole told CoinDesk:
"Effectively our cost of coin – how much we produce the coins for – will be over the market price. The price is now [roughly] $480. With all of our overhead, after July, the cost will be over $480. All of the liabilities we’ll have after that time will be too high."
He said the move to bankruptcy was a pre-emptive one taken by KnC’s board of directors, explaining that the firm wanted to avoid running out of funds prior to the drop in revenue.

This is the bit where people are frightened to buy in case it starts heading back down again. It will probably stay fairly flat for a while before people get the confidence to start really pumping up the price. If we are in a giant 2013 style cup and handle that's good. Before the handle goes sky high there should be a flat phase.

$1080 means that the bearish momentum is broken. $1225,34 means that we are going to test ATH again. It will take some more time tho.
I hope it takes some time. A technical analysis advice website warned to beware of sharp pumps upwards at this stage of a cup and handle. It said if the price stays relatively flat for a while it's more likely to result in a giant handle pumping the price really high. After all the FUD it will probably take a while before the majority get the confidence to start buying. That flat period should fit into a good handle formation.

It's weird that stamp's only $4 below finex, it's normally at least $10 below. The pump is wavering a bit now so maybe stamp's bigger spread will facilitate a dump back to the usual $10 below finex.

As long as it keeps edging slowly upward I'll be happy.
It was only a week and a half ago that it was down around $900 and bears were clucking about $800.
Even if it takes a few days to conquer $1100, we're still doing fine.

Apparently a US federal judge recently ruled that Bitcoin is completely exempt from US regulation because it's in the same class as Monopoly money. Does his ruling mean the Bit License and other US regulations no longer apply? Is that one of the reasons why Bitcoin's pumping, or was it an April fool's day joke by cointelegraph?
Bitcoin = Monopoly money
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-completely-unregulated-in-the-us-as-obscure-nixon-era-law-came-to-lightA US federal judge ruled Friday that cryptocurrency is completely exempt from regulation due to a little-known law enacted over 40 years ago.
HB 1010, known as the Monopoly Act, exempts imitation money, such as novelty items or those used in board games, from falling under government jurisdiction for financial regulation. Under the new interpretation of the law, this has been expanded to include cryptocurrencies.
Obscure law meant for board games also exempts virtual currencies
The Monopoly Act was introduced with the intent of preventing the imitation money, used in board games such as Monopoly, from falling under government scrutiny.
Parker Brothers, the company behind Monopoly, lobbied heavily for the law to pass, as imitation bills from collector's editions of the game began to draw high value on the market.
After one collector was arrested for tax evasion after procuring employment in exchange for these collector's edition Monopoly notes, Parker Brothers feared their value would plummet, sinking sales.
Nixon turmoil
The Monopoly Act was passed and signed into law Aug. 5th of 1974, barely noticed during a time of political turmoil and a mere four days before Richard Nixon became the first American president to resign from office.
The wording of the bill, however, provides an unintended loophole for cryptocurrency:
"No token, bill, virtual currency, or counterfeit money, whose purpose it is to parody legal tender or otherwise serve as a novelty, and where such can be demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt, shall be subject to taxation, regulation, or licensing by any branch of government, but shall instead enjoy free and unrestricted exchange. (emphasis added)”
On Friday, a federal judge ruled that cryptocurrencies are, by virtue of lack of a physical form and issuing bank, by definition virtual currency and as such current financial regulations do not apply

I have an old Litecoin wallet from back in the day (way back when I thought having another currency blockchain outside Bitcoin's might have some long term value). It has ~100 or so LTC left in it.
But eh... I'm just too damn lazy to fire it up, sync it with the network, and trade my ltc for btc.
It probably doesn't need syncing if the coins are showing in your wallet. It's most likely possible to send them to an exchange despite the fact the wallet isn't fully synced. Perhaps there's been a major update to the wallet that stops you sending a transaction without fully syncing, but it's worth a try.

But what if we go further down like a head and shoulders pattern what some are saying. We could link that to the hardfork solution for the scaling problem.
Head and shoulders? Where? I don't see anything close to a H&S pattern, long term, medium term or short term.
That said, I don't think anyone should take traditional technical analysis too seriously when it comes to Bitcoin.
What I see is a minor hiccup in a steady correction after a FUD-induced panic.
Today Bitfcoin took off, then landed exactly where it started. We are no worse off than a day ago and in the long term we are headed up. Going up by $40, then back down by $40 is like a test run for a proper rocket launch pump.

Riding the waves of succes and never getting burned is how you are going to last long and win.
As long as everyone does the polar opposite of what their little monkey brains are screaming at them, they'll come out on top. That's where the stone cold part comes in. Once you've removed emotion from the equation then it all opens up. I haven't managed this of course.
Quite often I noticed it's trades that only an apparent total retard would make that turn out to be the big winners. If the whole community is shouting that it's time to to sell it's the best time to buy, and vice versa,

$1215 now at Bitstamp. Let´s see if price starts the new week above 1200 and goes towards $1300 next twoo weeks.
The price pumped over $100 after last weekend, and if that pattern holds it could pump up to over $1300 by the end of next weekend. I'll be happy even if it goes sideways.

Still little or no mention of Bitfinex's Well Fargo lawsuit?
http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-exchange-bitfinex-sues-wells-fargo-over-bank-transfer-freeze/I assume not that much actual USD is withdrawn from there but even so that's a rather important part of any exchange's functionality.
I really can't see how BFX could win this. I assume the banking business is discretionary and they wouldn't be the type of customer any bank would particularly want and I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner.
A post on reddit questions whether that bank wanted bitfinex to sue it. If the bank loses and the government questions why its processing bitfinex wires it can say it was ordered to by a court. Likewise, if the bank wins it doesn't have to worry about trouble from the government. Whatever the result it will straighten out the legalities of processing wires from exchanges.
IMO any bank is legally obliged to block a suspicious wire, but I don't think they can block all wires from a particular company without a reason. Bitfinex wouldn't be suing if it didn't think it could win. i know banks can block a customer without giving a reason, but an intermediary bank blocking a business without a reason could bankrupt it.

Huge buy support added to the finex books.
Is this gentlemen?
Probably not. They've withdrawn their lawsuit with Wells Fargo so as far as I can tell there's no other way out of there other than BTC for now.
They say they have "other outbound channels available". However I don't know WTF "other channels" means. Maybe it means there are other intermediary banks they can use, or maybe it means we can use tether, or Bitcoin to withdraw instead. Coindesk says there will be an announcement soon, so we won't be left in suspense long.

Bitfinex has decided to use any other currency besides USD for wires as a temporary solution. They say they are a victim of correspondent bank de-risking. I think I remember some Australian Bitcoin companies were victims of bank de-risking a while back, but I don't remember what the long term outcome was.
https://www.bitfinex.com/postsBitfinex is currently experiencing delays in the processing of outbound USD wires to customers. The normal channels that we have been operating through in the past are currently unavailable. Alternative channels are being opened to solve these transmission delays; however, the complexity and scale involved mean that it is taking some time to return to normal withdrawal velocities. Consequently, customers requesting USD wires should expect delays as we work to normalize the withdrawal process. USD deposits remain unaffected.
There is currently no ETA on full normalization of USD wires, but we are working hard to provide alternatives to our customers and will continue to provide updates as we progress. Notably, we can process withdrawals in other currencies, namely, Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) and Swiss Francs (CHF). In addition, we expect to confirm the availability of Japanese Yen (JPY), Australian Dollars (AUD), and Canadian Dollars (CAD) in the next few days, and Euros (EUR) sometime next week.

Hey guys
can someone explain the situation with bitfinex, please
If bitfinex wired money to your bank it did it through a chain of banks, each passing the money onto the next one in the chain. There might be four or more banks in that chain, and Wells Fargo Bank was one of the intermediaries in the chain.
Bitcoin.com explain how bitfinex was suing Wells Fargo Bank because it stopped passing money from bitfinex through that chain of banks. However, bitfinex dropped its lawsuit and is now probably finding a new chain of banks to send USD through that excludes Wells Fargo Bank.
It's not unusual for a bank to refuse to take part in wire transfers from another bank. Any business affected by a particular bank's refusal can just wire money through a different chain of banks, but it takes time to arrange a new chain.

Thanx for the explanation, just one more question:
So basically, from what we know of, no funds of bitfinex are being held by Wells Fargo. They just don't allow funds to go through and presumably return the funds to the sender, right?
Yes, Wells Fargo isn't holding any bitfinex funds, it's just refusing to process bitfinex related wires. There was a FUD reddit thread that said Wells Fargo was holding millions of bitfinex customer's dollars, but it was bullshit. Bitfinex stated in an announcement that "no U.S. banks are holding any customer funds".
https://www.bitfinex.com/posts...for now, we do want to dispel some of the misinformation that we have seen on the internet:
No U.S. banks are holding any customer funds.

I once thought $10K was crazy, but in a world where Bitcoin is pretty well accepted, I now believe that number is actually quite small. Even at $10K - Bitcoin is still worth significnatly less than Amazon, Apple, Facebook, or etc.
Exactly. High numbers are only impressive due to low number of total coins. Factoring that there are just 16 million coins, the price is actually pretty low.
$100.000 will be the new $1000.
Confirmed.
6 digits will become the new floor when Russia will join the party.
India will also join, BTC will get worldwide attention.
People will dump stocks and fiat and move to the Bitcoin next.
ITS GONNA BE HUGE.
The price will pump higher when the Chinese government allows the Chinese exchanges to resume Bitcoin withdrawals. That withdrawals freeze is suppressing the price, without it $2000 would already be history.

Buy the fucking dip!
This works every time.
except when the dips are so small that barely can be recognized as true dips when you look at the charts
like right now for example
last "dip" was around 1670 and cannot even be seen without a microscope in the 2h char
On bitstamp the 12 hour high was $1760 and the 12 hour low was $1661. That's $99 profit for selling at the top then buying the dip. Zooming out and looking at the 12 hour chart rather than the 2 hour chart shows a true dip, unless you mean a 50% crash when you say a dip. I interpret a dip as a small healthy correction on the way up.

Beginning to wonder how many coins might be "trapped" in China in the hands of people who can't access foreign banks and exchanges and whether that's messing up supply, driving up the price in the west.
Then there's Japanese demand.
and nothing out of bitfinex for several days about their banking plans. their reddit sub has now been set to private as well. coins are still coming and going fine but the lack of fiat certainly isn't helping the market distortion.
It's counteracting the market distortion from the Chinese exchanges freezing Bitcoin withdrawals. That was suppressing the price until Bitfinex froze fiat withdrawals. Without all the freezes on the exchanges Bitcoin would probably already be above $2000.
Bitcoin could get another giant pump if Bitfinex is still freezing fiat withdrawals when the Chinese exchanges resume Bitcoin withdrawals.

It went down by about $100 a few days ago, then went up by $250. Maybe in another year it will be going down by $1000, then back up by $2500 within a few days, and Bitcoin will be worth so much that $1000 will only be a small blip.

The weekend before last didn't really move the price too much. It went down then back up again.

This is a once-every-4-years rally. Those don't splutter out at a mere multiple of 2.
It was less than two days ago that we kept on hitting new ATHs on stamp. It's only down by $90 from the $800 we were at then. Bitcoin's becoming so valuable that one or two hundred dollars down is a small correction.

The last thing I need to do is shorten my life by succumbing to stress about mere money. Sure, I follow the day-to-day ups and downs of the Bitcoin market, but it's just partially to watch for buying opportunities, and mostly for entertainment.
That's good advice, I got carried away in the past, went without sleep, got over stressed, and made myself feel like crap. Ironically if I had relaxed and not followed the market so closely I would have made more money.
I only buy bitcoins directly to paper wallets either anonymously through ATMs or more recently directly from individuals for cash.
Have you ever had any problems buying from an ATM, like you put the money in and it goes offline immediately afterwards and doesn't send you your Bitcoins?

People are desperate to see some correction. And many of them did what they can to cause drama, but alas... This train can't be stopped. Right now an avalanche of noobs is entering bitcoin. They don't even use wallets. All they have is an account with an exchange.
When we touched the old ATHs we were all wondering if it was a double top, and people were cautious to buy. Now those old ATHs are a distant memory, and the higher we go above them the more confidence we get that this is the start of a new rally to the moon.

2800 would appear to be the same problem as when we spun around a few times at 1800 and it became obvious it was going to exceed 2000 because round numbers are silly superstition. If it rebuilds price here and buyers keep being apparent as they are now then we can start to see similar for 3000, it will be exceeded.
The ATH on OKCoin was 19200 CNY. Maybe we got a dip because we were getting close to two round numbers, 20000 CNY and $3000. If it rebuilds here and exceeds both 20000 CNY and $3000 we could get a rocket pump.

It's impossible to say as of today. About a week after a big dump we often get an indication of which way the price will go. However, sometimes it simply goes sideways for months leaving everyone guessing.
A number of exchanges are overwhelmed with new users creating new accounts, so there's new money flowing into Bitcoin. Maybe that will continue the uptrend.

2350$ is past already.
Yup, faster than expected lol. Just after that Bitstamp stopped loading well in my pc, so i suppose the fun started
Next resistance?
On OKCoin it's 16800 CNY. The Chinese are throwing money at Bitcoin on OKCoin now they are allowed to withdraw Bitcoins again.
It nice that they now allow the withdrawal of bitcoin via OKcoin but how about the KYC issue. Nevertheless, The Chinese might throw money into bitcoin but the trade made on Bitstamp is pretty cool than that of Okcoin at the moment.
I think they want excessive KYC like ID cards scans, and video verification. Some users who can't provide it will lose their Bitcoins. Okcoin is also imposing a $1m annual limit. The whales won't be happy about that. A million dollars is small change to a whale. How can Chinese whales manipulate the price on Okcoin if they are only allowed to withdraw a million dollars a year?
http://www.coindesk.com/okcoin-huobi-move-end-chinas-bitcoin-withdrawal-freeze/A representative for has OKCoin confirmed a report today that withdrawals had resumed at the exchange, one of the largest in the world by volume. The spokesperson added, however, that withdrawals would be contingent on passing a verification requirement and prescribing to a $1m annual limit.

$2451 on Stamp, atm. Nice recovery after we sunk all the way down into the $1800's only a matter of days ago.
I wonder what the chances are of a pump to $3000 in the short term.
It's possible. Every time I think it can't keep going up at this speed it goes up higher.
I didn't experience any of the previous mega rallies. Maybe that's why I keep thinking it's not sustainable for it to keep going up in value quickly. During the bear market every pump preceded a bigger crash. I haven't yet got used to every small crash preceding a bigger pump.

Sooooo tempted to short the weekend. But I've been burned too often, trading using leverage. I'll just set a low buy order instead I guess.
CNBC is telling the world we're going to hit $4000. Bloomberg has taken over shilling for us. I wouldn't short now if you paid me.
I thought OKCoin opening withdrawals would start either a pump or a dump, but now I'm not so sure.
If OKCoin's $1m annual withdrawal limit applies to both Bitcoins and fiat it could lock a significant number of Bitcoins on the exchange for years. How many Chinese whales have millions of dollars worth of Bitcoins on that exchange? I bet some of them used to withdraw a million dollars every month to buy another lambo to add to their collection.
I suppose they could still trade them despite the withdrawal limit. Will the withdrawal limit affect the price, or will it have no effect as the whales could still trade?

If true, that's incredible. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the Yuan fiat limit that can cross borders is a mere $50K/year. This would be a HUGE change to capital controls.
After checking the OKCoin website using google translate I'm not sure what fiat withdrawals are allowed yet, or what will be. It gives a link to a yuan recharge tutorial page, but it didn't lead me to a tutorial. Maybe if I was registered there it would.
It's not clear yet WTF will be allowed and what won't. I still haven't found any clear answers from any reliable sources.
Reuters says customers are allowed to withdraw a maximum of 10 bitcoins a day.

We are $200 short of the stamp ATH today. I'm hoping one big pump this weekend pushes us above it. Maybe we'll have to wait a week or two, but this bull run is so strong we could hit $3000 in no time.

Good morning Bitcoinland.
After 4 days of slowly rising prices we had a nice little $100 correction and bounce halfway back up and seem to be consolidating well above $2500... currently $2525 (Bitcoinaverage).
This is the kind of moderate growth we need to keep going.
Go Bitcoin go.
Bitcoin's price is higher now than at the start of the weekend, and the banks are closed. Maybe the $100 correction was facilitated by the banks taking the weekend off. Hopefully the price will go higher when the banks open on Monday, and wires to exchanges start moving again.

I get the feeling that there is a LOT of money that wants to come into the Bitcoin market. The problem is, it can't do that overnight without the price skyrocketing. As we have seen, exchanges can quickly run out of coins. Miners must mine and release more, and they may be holding some back. So taking large short positions can be tricky. The OTC market might be drying up as well.
So where to go? Altlandia... ride it out, pump the alts, trade for btc when it becomes available. Depending on the amount of money wanting to come in, this could go on for quite a while.
But the alt exchanges are so buggered that I don't see how you could get significant amounts of Bitcoin off. Poloniex is the daddy. You're restricted to $2000 withdrawals per day
That's only for unverified accounts. Level 2 verification lets you do $25,000 per day.
I use Bittrex myself though. I'd rather get withdrawals in less than a minute than withdrawals in a day if I'm lucky. It's fucking terrifying when the exchange was likely to basically give up on your withdrawal for another few weeks if they felt like it.
Bittrex still has decent liquidity, unless you're one of the biggest whales around it should be alright.
The last I read the big Chinese exchanges allowing withdrawals are restricting them to ten Bitcoins a day, with a million dollars a year limit. What's the maximum a whale's business account is allowed withdraw from poloniex and bittrex if he's done maximum KYC with notarised documents, etc?
I couldn't found out what their maximums are. If they are like the Chinese exchanges then a huge amount of coins will be effectively frozen. It could result in a mega pump.

I was watching the walls on itbit today. Earlier on there was a massive 3.5k ask wall holding the price down. Later on it was split up into stepped walls that gradually got eaten. Now there is only a 500 coin wall at $2700, and after that's eaten the next resistance starts at $2900. There's less than 1000 coins up to $3000, so $3000 seems imminent.

We are only $76 below today's ATH. The dip today was only a small correction, probably from the Chinese taking profits after breaking 20000 CNY for the first time today. We might get a few more before it breaks $3000. Nobody knows when the $3000 party is, but it seems very close. The Chinese are already having their 20000 CNY party.

I hope all of you have realized that most everyone in the bitcoin community is completely wrong about this scaling nonsense. This six month bull run in the face of a scaling nightmare only proves how meaningless scalability is to Bitcoin.
I doubt half the newbies discovering Bitcoin even know how to use a wallet yet. Most of them won't know or care about scalability. They just hear how much its increased in value since $150 and buy on an exchange. Last summer people said Bitcoin would crash because of the scalability debate, but the bull run's kept on going for a year since then.

Someone seems to dislike the thought of $2900 in Western exchanges. China is constitently pushing towards $3k.
The question is how BTC will behave in the epic bust that many are expecting imminently, because even gold crashed in 2008.
Staying somewhat liquid could be advisable.
That's Bitcoin's use case. When banks start going bankrupt Bitcoin's going to get pumped higher than any of us can imagine. During the next wave of bank bankruptcies they will be bailing themselves out with our money taken from our bank accounts. Even the people that own the banks will be putting their money into Bitcoin rather than bank accounts that are guaranteed a 50% haircut.

Stamp is developing a big spread. It only takes 200 Bitcoins to either push it up to $2900 or down to $2800. OKCoin has a similar spread, it only takes 300 Bitcoins to either push it up to 21000 CNY or down below 20000 CNY.

Well we had 8 green weeks in a row! That's a lot!
So the chance to see some bigger correction wasn't really small when you check chart's history!
Let's see how this week will further develop. Probably a red one, which doesn't mean the end of the bull run. So no reason to panic, yet.
The week's barely begun and this dip is only less than 17%.
3 weeks ago we dipped 33% and still ended up green. It took only 9 days to hit an ATH after that big 33% dip.
We still have lots of time for this candle to turn green after today's much smaller dip.
It may still end up red, but don't count green out just yet.
I was hoping for a dip after reading elwar's experiences. He said the previous 2013 bull run ended after the price doubled in a week. This dip's slowing the bull run down and keeps us out of the doubling in a week danger zone.

Peak euphoria is the problem: reading this board makes you think it's only a matter of time until we reach 4000+ BTC's, while nearly no one seems to be taking into account that the market may be satiated already. BTC has bounced back twice now from about the same price level, and that is a strong signal after a two-and-a-half month long rally.
Although I haven't been following the latest ICOs someone claimed some of them are raising huge amounts. When the devs behind them dump the Bitcoins they collected it might suppress the price for a while.
Maybe some dev just dumped his ICO coins. If that's what happened the market will probably soon absorb the coins and the price will go back up afterwards.

Actually, congrats to those buying this dip, we may never see 2K again.
I agree with you but it a good idea to now because the price will still fall down more for days before it rise up to the moon. Therefore, I congratulation those who watch the price closely in other to make some quick buy before the price race up again.
Why? There's plenty of support at this level and it seems the worst is already over. If this trend continues we'll either go down a little and up or just sideways for a short time and back up. Triangles forming nicely right now, looks like we will soon go back up.
I'm not too worried if it goes up or down. About a month ago we had an ATH of $1800, and a month later it's dipped back down to a 24 hour low of $2120 on stamp. Half a year ago it was below $1000. Even today's dips are great prices compared to six months ago.
It's another ATH on bitstamp, it's broken past $1800. Now $2000 is getting extremely close. Bitfinex has an ATH of $1867, only $133 off that magic $2000. It shouldn't take stamp too long to catch up after bitfinex breaks that target.

insert any other exchange that disappeared here]. How would they know otherwise?
If they are tech savvy they would use a site like this one that uses taint analysis to calculate where coins came from. This is the free version, but there's a better paid version that exchanges probably use.

Im wondering how to assess pump exhaustion from chart/price action, and predict its end in advance (0.5-1 minute is ok ) :] is that possible at all?
From what i saw in the past so far it can be mess, some are still buying while others are dumping..
I don't think there is a very reliable way to predict it, and history doesn't always repeat itself. However Elwar says that in 2013 the price doubling in a week, or half a week was what preceded a crash.
In 2013 it went like this.
First bubble:
Double in a month
Double in 2 weeks
Double in 1 week
Double in half a week
Up a bit then crash
Second bubble:
Double in a month
Double in 2 weeks
Double in 1 week
Up a bit then crash
Recently we doubled in a month (1250 to 2500) but then it flattened out. That's a good thing.

BItcoin looks to be recovering a bit today. LTC is on a tear (for Litecoin of course). While everything has been volatile again at the end of the week zcoin has made very little headlines with its big gains.
I would like to see Bitcoin make it back to steady $2700s again...
There seems to be a pattern of weekend Bitcoin pumps developing, as opposed to the weekend dumps we used to get. I still don't understand the reason for it as no fiat gets sent to exchanges while the banks are closed over the weekend.

Now I have a wallet with something like ~60 LTC left, and I'm too lazy to even sync it with the network, lol.
You can send them to an exchange without syncing, provided your wallet is already synced enough to see its received your litecoins. Dump them for Bitcoin, you would get over a Bitcoin for them, and if you keep that Bitcoin for ten years it might be worth a million dollars.

Ahh cool, well I'm still learning a lot about trading, but I am currently programming a dashboard to simplify some stuff ( auto limit orders, managing funds from customer etc ). Also since this is the speculation forum, what is everyone's thought about tonight, how low will we go. 2k support or back to 1900
Well, currently, we seem to be about in the middle of a price range of $2300 to $2650. We are nearly in the middle, and it seems to be a bit less likely that we are going to break downwards out of the range before we break upwards.
And, yeah, if we were to break downwards, then there would be pretty decent odds of going below $2k and $1800 would be fairly reasonable.. on the other hand, like I said, breaking up seems to bit more of a better bet - at least at the moment... and if we break above $2650 then likely we will be on our way to testing $3k.
I would not rule out consolidating for 1-2 weeks either, which may cause some boredom and maybe that is slightly less odds of going up would be to go sideways within the previously described price range.
It's been quite volatile recently so maybe it's time to go sideways for a while. There's no news I could find that might create wild price moves. Maybe if some big story appears it could push the price one way or the other.

What you said is what I mean't, but maybe I articulated it badly. I mean't someone put up that wall to start people panic selling into the sneaky unnoticeable laddered small buy orders he secretly put up.
Unfortunately for him the market is so bullish that it soon became obvious someone would buy his wall if he left it up for long. His cunning plan failed.
You are misreading the wall and what it represents. Simply it is a way for the entity that put up the wall to buy at below the wall price. If they wanted to sell they would sell at market price and be done with it(while creating this panic you are worried about). This really isn't rocket science. The only walls we should be worried about are
buy walls because they denote a major sell off is imminent.

We're not going up or down, wee're going sideways. I'm grateful for that because rapid price swings over extended periods of time get too stressful.

Comparing mega bubbly 2013 with soft run up 2016-2017.
I am a little disappointed
Yeah, but the overlap of charts is actually the pre-early 2013 bubble, and I am not sure if that is meant to indicate that we have not even accomplished the first 2017 bubble, yet.
Personally, I believe that it is frequently erroneous to attempt to read too much into such an attempt at overlapping - because we know that there are so many factors that are quite different in this time frame as compared with early 2013 - including development, adoption, alt-space dynamics, hardfork issue, ability to short bitcoin, spread out liquidation options, longer track record at governmental attempts at regulation, and likely several other unnamed but materially influential factors.
I read old posts where someone tried overlapping the 2011 rally with the spring 2013 rally. The overlap predicted a bear market, not the second winter 2013 rally to over $1000 that actually happened. Nobody knows what's going to happen next.

Holding up pretty well on Stamp. Currently 2532 and some large buy walls just behind 2500. Lookin good for now.
Yeah, the buy walls are growing, looks much more solid than first time $2500 was passed imo
I see $2500 getting closer, with low of 1505 on Bitstamp, and no really big sell wall until 2480.
The patter is a dump, then some small pump and some hours of rest, then repeat.
Remember that walls can be pulled with one click
This last week's Bitstamp low was $2461 and we aren't even down to that half way through the weekend. Going up and down by $300 is almost noise nowadays. It's like going up and down by $30 a few years ago. It will probably repeat the same pattern next week.

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.
We already had a small experience of that type of scenario with the US government Bitcoin auctions. Bitcoin survived and is worth ten times what it was at the time of the auctions. Satoshi's coins aren't enough to destroy Bitcoin, the project is now too big for that.

And we didn't really return to a strong bull market until after those pesky auctions were out of the way? Correct?
The price crashed at the time of some auctions, but pumped about the time of the other ones. Although it's true we didn't get a strong bull market until after they all finished, there were other factors holding the price down.
We had Gox, China bans Bitcoin, the Bitstamp hack, the Bitfinex hack, etc. Every time the price started to go up another disaster crashed it. Besides all that Bitcoin had pumped from $2 to over $1000. It was due a correction after those gains.
The price has languished for so long now that new disasters don't seem to affect it a much. Maybe it's due to go up simply because it's been languishing.

I suppose one could say a bullet "languishes" when compared to a photon. Over 250% increase since the beginning of the year? Pretty incredible to me. I still have a hard time grasping how something with such a high yield could possibly be a safe "store of value."
The long period where the price languished between $200 to $300 was what I was mostly referring to. It's only become exceptionally bullish since the start of this year when it broke the ATH. I'm hoping that within another year we get a 1000% increase on today's price.

It's the weekend, and bank transfers of fiat to exchanges stop during weekends. Although we used to expect a weekend dump there have recently been weekend pumps, possibly because people had fiat saved on exchanges. Unfortunately wt seems we are back to the weekend dump cycle again.
However, it might prove to be a trick and the price might yet pump like orpington suggests.

Ye But its already couple of weeks were staying in the range €2200-2500 And were not going up
Wat is holding to move?
If we keep like this i think a mega dump Will come soon? What do you guys think about iT?
We tested already the resistance at lower €1900-€2000 But its not working Well.
Everyone is thinking were also on a mega pump..
Sometimes it goes sideways for months, and I suspect that might be happening again. A few years ago it stayed between $200 and $300 for a long time. Each dump to $200 or pump to $300 seemed a big deal, but looking at the historical charts the price stayed fairly stable. Maybe it will stay between $2000 and $3000 for a while.

Even though the bull market became much more pronounced and upwardly explosive since the beginning of this year, the bull market started in late 2015 at around $250-ish; however, we were not really able to confirm the existence of such bull market until about late May 2016 when prices flew passed $500.. and ever since then, we been in a bull market, in spite of some of these corrections.
Sure this bull market could reverse, but it is really not clear yet, and staying above $1200 remains a pretty decent sign that we are still in a bull market.
In other words, we gotta zoom out a bit to make those kinds of bull market / bear market calls.
I feel like we are still in a bull market, and wonder if the latest Italian bank events could move the price up. Italy is spending up to $19 billion to bail out two of its banks. If more banks need bailing out people could start buying Bitcoin as a safe haven.
Although I was expecting flat Bitcoin prices for a while the bank bailouts could change things.

Panic begets more panic. All it takes is a handful of people to get the ball rolling.
Is Bitcoin any worse than it was yesterday? Nope. It also isn't any better than it was when it was under $1000.
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.

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.

When will people finally get some of their money back?
Ask Liquidator San. Perhaps the payouts are dependent on the trial's outcome. I dunno. It is technically solvent now so I'm not sure what's hilding up progress.
I think some company is still trying to sue Gox for $75 million, and I read that Bitcoinica had coins stored on Gox. The whole thing's a mess.
A company called Coinlab wants $75 million from Gox, and Karpeles is offering it $5 million to settle.
https://news.bitcoin.com/mark-karpeles-open-letter-coinlab-settle-lawsuit-5m/...because Coinlab is suing Mt Gox for $75 million the defunct trading platform’s customers may not see their money for a very long time.
This is where I found out about the the Bitcoinica coins on Gox. It's from a thread where people are still discussing how to get their coins back from Bitcoinica.
So the 9th liquidators report is interesting.
Claims against Bitcoinica are: 91,300 BTC
$248,000 cash
$276,000 leveraged trading positions (hmm, I wonder if they are ignoring people with negative trading positions? Maybe not a big deal as they were probably 1/10th of this amount)
But the MtGox trustee values the claims at $6.8 million (USD)!
The bitcoins were only worth around $10 when Bitcoinica went bankrupt, so this claim is equal to all the cash ($524k) and roughly 6.3 million left over for 91k bitcoins - or $690/bitcoin.
If the liquidation ever goes through, it looks like the NZ liquidators will get a sizable amount of money.
This $690/bitcoin is also a major increase from the previously announced value of $483. So either they changed the Bitcoin valuation or Bitcoinica had a sizable number of bitcoins on the exchange that weren't subject to claims. Maybe this is best explained by the leveraged trading positions! As those trading positions should have been backed by purchases of bitcoins.
If you take $6.8 million, subtract the $250k cash. You have $6.55 million. Divide by $483 - and you get 135,600 BTC. So it is possible that the open positions were equal to 44,300 BTC long (and you have to remember that back then they were only worth $10 - so it wasn't as crazy as this would be now). That makes more sense than the liquidators changing their valuation of BTC. If they changed their valuation all the time based on market conditions, they'd never be able to liquidate.

As the market looks now bitcoin price should continue going sideways until 1st August and moon probably to $3500 then steadily to $5000. It has a triple confirmed support line at ~$2420 so I can hardly see it go below that,but even if it goes that's a great buying opportunity as it will most surely moon after Segwit is implemented.
I'm hoping it goes up a bit after the weekend. The bank wires start getting processed then, and when they reach exchanges the extra fiat might push the price upwards. However, it has been going sideways a long time so maybe it will just continue sideways.

I didn't think bitcoin could be this volatile with the size of market cap it has now. I was wrong. It's going haywire right now!
Bigger market cap, but possibly fewer coins in the float, definitely 1/2 the new coins mined per block. Land Rush in progress. It's just that the train is over full, and can't make the grade, so it has to shake like a wet dog, and try again, with MORE STEAM.
Maybe in another few years it will be going up and down by $100k a week and $10k movements will go unnoticed.

Doesn't seem to tie up with the number of new signups on various exchanges.
If it was just a relative few deep pocketed investors then surely there wouldn't have been such a demand for new registrations?
Well if demand was really so high from the retail side, then shouldn't we be seeing the price skyrocket right now? Or at least continue to rise? Hell, 20M+ retail accounts worldwide just trying to buy $50-100 each in this one month would send the price to the moon right now.
But we aren't even seeing that level of buying pressure. That's why I think it mostly came from the institutional side.
I'm sure we'll continue to see 500K - 1M sign ups a month this year, but not sure that will immediately translate to more buying. It really makes me wonder how much bitcoin is being bought by all these new accounts.
Most exchanges still have a giant backlog of newly registered users waiting to get verified. Some of them had to upgrade their servers to handle the numbers of users that were already verified, but they still haven't dealt with the unverified backlog. There are still people who have been waiting for months for verification.
After they all get verified the price might skyrocket again.

Sorry for that stupidish question. I invested 2013 in Bitcoin and holding since then. My Coins are on a paper wallet and I don't have much to do with cryptos since then. Everybody is talking about tether these days. I have no idea what that is again. Do I have to do anything with my bitcoins before this tether thing crashes? Or simply hold another few years?
It isn't stupid to ask IMO.
Very briefly:
Tether, as per the FAQ pointed above, is a substitute for USD pegged 1:1.
It's being used to add fiat-like liquidity.
There are worries of over-creation of tether (fractional reserve), along with more complex hypotheses.
If it is a fake, and it pops, there will be some blood and unpleasant consequences on BTC price.
However, bitcoin has lived through worse events (Gox, for example). If one believes in the long-term future of bitcoin, tether shouldn't be able to sway their course of action for the long run.
TL;DR: Just hodl.
On August 2, 2016 bitfinex announced it had lost 120,000 Bitcoins in a hack. Although I thought that would crash the price it only went down by $50, then doubled up to over a thousand dollars by the end of the year.
Bitcoin survived that, and it will survive a tether pop (if it does pop).

Interesting thought. I suppose if new signups was becoming a measure of adoption, then there may be some value in some group or other manipulating the figures.
Sign up is about the least hard thing to do. When you can already buy 1000's of Chinese zombies to click x or y at a certain time or like a post or whatever for just pennies.
Most exchanges have been freezing due to the strain all their new users are putting on their systems. The kraken had to do a massive upgrade to its severs after months of problems. Straining those exchanges to that extent would be much harder to fake. Most Bitcoin exchanges won't let you trade until you supply KYC documents.

I suppose it could be interesting to note, too, how many auctions of BTC are taking place on an ongoing basis and the quantity of coins...
Coindesk says before 2018 the last auction was in mid-2016. That's a gap of over one and a half years with no auctions.
The 2,170 bitcoins they are auctioning on March 19 probably won't make much difference to the exchange prices. That's a tiny number of coins compared to the first auctions they had.
https://www.coindesk.com/us-marshals-auction-25-million-bitcoin/It's also the second sale to take place within a nearly two-year period, given that prior to this year, the last auction occurred in mid-2016, when the agency sold 2,700 BTC

Yes, it is better to dollar cost average the exit, exactly the same as the investment. Unless you were to know for sure it is gonna rise or dump for good.... which you, obviously, don't.
Or just change your trading strategy to "bear market" and do aggresive trades with the target of extracting fiat instead of increasing BTC. It depends on your hurry to fully exit though.
That said, I am considering capitulating too. Except
my way of capitulating would be the same I did in 2014-2015... ie: Just hodl, forget, and move onto other things indefinitely.

All I can do is sit back and either laugh or shrug. (Please keep in mind my entire stash at this point is "house money", so perhaps my perspective is atypical)
If Bitcoin trading is a serious cause of, no-bullshit real life stress like stomach cramps and other anxiety symptoms, then perhaps that is a sign you may be a bit over exposed.
Nevermind your physical health. That's just fundamentally not financially healthly.

After my years of extensive interrogations within this WO thread (and other threads on this forum), analysis of the BTC holdings of respondents (without their knowing it) and comparing their slimy and repulsive responses with my own notes, memory and my own skepticisms concerning their representations, I have narrowed down my answer at this time to a concise assertion and concluded that I hold a quantity of bitcoins that has largely and continuously floated somewhere between the precise quantities of bitcorns held by bones261 and BobLawblaw.

You party poop pessimist, explorer poorer.
In my time perusing this thread I seem to have noticed you have a tendency to assume status (poorer), or try to guess how many bitcoins a particular person holds. Usually commenting that it probably shouldn't matter. But still you do.
Do you ever consider you could be off in some of your guesses?
It does not matter regarding my supposed curiousity regarding the holdings of other posters, because I could give a ratt's ass about that.. in spite of your supposed astute observation...
By the way, this is the interwebs, and I am merely attempting to rhyme with as BAD of a resolution that I can muster.. ok? rhapsypoxitee capsielockitee?
How many Bitcoin have you got?
After my years of extensive interrogations within this WO thread (and other threads on this forum), analysis of the BTC holdings of respondents (without their knowing it) and comparing their slimy and repulsive responses with my own notes, memory and my own skepticisms concerning their representations, I have narrowed down my answer at this time to a concise assertion and concluded that I hold a quantity of bitcoins that has largely and continuously floated somewhere between the precise quantities of bitcorns held by bones261 and BobLawblaw.
How many Bitcoins has bones261 got?
Not only is that an interesting question about bones261,
that is also an interesting question about BobLawblaw.
He's rich, he said he was going to buy drinks for the whole thread if we see $8,000 USD/BTC this year.
I can see 8000 where I will purchase another $100k Of BTC. What is your plans?
On top of buying drinks for the entire thread, I'll suck your dick if we see $8,000 USD/BTC this year.
You can quote me on that.

I think we need to see some sort of capitulation before this bear is finished. Maybe we are getting close. I think we need some panic selling.
Prices are still up quite a bit from one year ago. ( to keep things in perspective )
On April 2, 2017
BTC = 1079.44
XMR = 21.22
etc..
I would prefer this bear does not drag on, so a panic flush, would set the stage for setting a base and a new bull. I hate the drip , drip , drip of down. It does feel a little like 2014.
I think it will play out like this chart shows. A bit of a dip, then upwards.
I have a strong gut feeling something like this is going to happen:

How much lower can this go, I don’t want to be seeing below $6,000 but it really wouldn’t surprise me. We’ve been in free fall for months.
There should be resistance at about $6100. That was the lowest it went on February 6th. A double bottom there would be bullish.
I doubt it will go that low, but I'm buying if it does.

Maybe 5 years later but it'll happen that's for sure.
Hold it for long enough and it will be worth over $100k. If the price goes lower buy more.
Jimbo bought at $275 on January 11th 2015. NotLambchop called him a dickhead for it, and all his previous buys on the way down. Jimbo held, and every coin he bought for a few hundred dollars is now worth $7k.

The first time it made waves, but they banned it too many tines now for anyone to give a shit.
The first China Ban was in late 2013. What does todays action have to do with China?
China banned its banks from handling transactions involving Bitcoin in 2013, but it didn't entirely ban Bitcoin.
There was a rumor China would entirely ban all Bitcoin transactions by 15th April 2014. That crashed the price about this time of year back in 2014. Without that "ban" I doubt the price would have crashed around Easter. Just because the price crashed in Easter 2014 doesn't mean it will crash in Easter 2018.
These quotes are from 2014.
https://www.coindesk.com/chinas-central-bank-governor-pboc-wont-ban-bitcoin/The price of bitcoin recovered from a low of roughly $380 and rose past $420 at press time on 11th April, on the news that Zhou Xiaochuan, the governor of the People's Bank of China (PBOC), had issued new statements potentially clarifying the central bank's position on bitcoin.
According to reports, during Boao Forum, Xiaochuan offered his opinion on the nascent technology, saying that China would not seek to ban bitcoin and other digital currencies entirely.
https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-price-declines-following-false-report-chinas-bitcoin-ban/A false report published on a financial news feed run by Chinese microblogging site Sina Weibo was responsible for the sharp decline in bitcoin prices across China's biggest exchanges today (21st March).
At 10:22 am GMT, Sina's financial live feed issued a now-retracted news report indicating that China's central bank, the People's Bank of China (PBOC), would move to halt all bitcoin transactions in the country effective 15th April.

The sender has to pay if the transfer value exceeds 14000 per year to an individual. However, if in the event, the sender doesn't pay, then the IRS looks to the recipient to pay.
Can you explain this ? Taxes for property are payable on a taxable event. Normally receipt of property is not a taxable event.
The person disposing of the property has a taxable event for fair market value of the property at the time of disposal. But that has nothing to do with the recipient.
wouldnt a taxable event only happen when the btc is sold/traded? if so just never spend it. xfer that unwanted btc to a separate wallet/address and never touch it again.
have to use a wallet with coin control or something to get it right maybe.
I don't think anyone is sure if it's a taxable event or not.
The same seems to apply to any Bitcoin cash you got from the fork.
https://www.coindesk.com/irs-get-cut-bitcoin-cash/To summarize, under current law it is not at all clear whether a hard fork constitutes a taxable event.
Even if one takes a conservative approach that it does, it is not clear what is the amount realized, namely, the amount that taxpayers must report in income.
Given that several hard forks happened in 2017, it is absolutely imperative that the IRS issue guidance soon on the tax treatment of hard forks.

Yeah I was watching his calls to see if there were any predictable patterns. But I ended up too lazy to accumulate random shit just to short his calls and sticked with my usual strategy instead. Still waiting to see how the ICOs he endorses turn out in the future. As far as I'm aware he takes a ~30% cut of the raised funds plus another 30% of the tokens for his shilling, and with those numbers I wouldn't expect too much due diligence on his part.
You guys missed the memo!
McAfee's account was hacked. He says he NEVER does the Coin of the Week.
I would say that too after such a colossal failure. Initially he was inviting people to hack him, then he "got hacked briefly and regained access" and now it's him never having done any calls? How convenient after nothing took off.
Why's the doge tweet not been deleted if he "got hacked" and has now regained control of his account?
https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/950367832642113538?lang=eneditAccording to rt he does do a coin of the week. He stopped doing a coin of the day just before the "hack" and swapped to doing a coin of the week.
https://www.rt.com/news/414497-mcafee-twitter-hacked-cryptocurrency/Cryptocurrency enthusiast and cybersecurity pioneer John McAfee claims that his Twitter account was compromised by an unknown offender who fraudulently promoted “undervalued” digital coins to his thousands of followers.
The now deleted tweets imitated his ‘coin of the day’ posts, which the cyber security expert stopped posting a few days ago, indicating instead that he will write each Monday on a “coin of the week.”

It is mt. gox damn it....from what I figure they have to dump $240 million in usd of BTC a month, to get the liguidation done by the end of this year....*them
trustees want their cut and the Japanese Gov't wants this all over with)
thus, we will go to 9k and drop to 7k and rinse wash repeat for a month or two...then the mt. gox trustees will have a timeline, say end of the year and we will
drop to 4k ...it is gonna suck!
The gox trustee isn't allowed to dump any more coins unless the court orders him to. The last dump was because the court decided he needed more money to pay interest on all the fiat owed.
The trustee says he's almost sure civil rehabilitation will be approved, which means all those owed Bitcoins get paid back in Bitcoins. Although there might be another sale of a relatively small number of coins the vast majority are likely to get returned to gox's customers.
It's highly unlikely they will get dumped on the market by the trustee.
https://www.mtgoxlegal.com/2018/05/18/update-18-mar-18/May 18, 2018 Andy Pag
We originally calculated that the sale of the 16k coins that moved should be enough to cover all assets. While it’s regrettable that the court/trustee considers they need cash to cover all the assets before moving forward, we concluded there’s nothing we can do about it. We looked at ways to challenge it legally but there was nothing we could practically do.
The further movement of 8k coins caused some alarm as some people thought it implied that the Trustee was on track to liquidate everything. Our lawyer’s view is that that is not the case, but that we should recalculate to allow for delay payment interest. The bankruptcy statute allows for 5 or 6% pa. So the trustee will need at least 20% more cash than we had originally considered. Again it’s disappointing that so many coins need to be sold, and we can only hope the trustee is getting a good price for them.
He has said that he is selling them in a way that will not affect the market. This suggests he’s selling them to a holder, such as an EFT type institution. We will find out in the course of time.
Our lawyer has met with the trustee and has had conversations with his team. He’s asked me not to divulge the details he shared with me, but the information he gave me left me confident that CR will be approved. The Trustee has to arrange Gox’s finances in such a way that meet the conditions set out by Ito, and the court can then approve CR. There seems to be willing from all parties involved, but it will take some more time, and probably the sale of more bitcoins.
As well as stockpiling the requisite amount of cash, the Trustee also has to establish a Trust vehicle to hold the assets that flow into CR. Once this has done, the conditions for approving CR should be met, and the court can then give the green light. The suggestion is that all creditors vote on being paid through the bankruptcy, (better for fiat claims) or allowing your claim to roll over into the Trust, which will then receive the assets left over after fiat claims have been settled, and distribute them under a CR plan (through an exchange or directly with the help of a third party bespoke crypto payment platform and bank transfers).

Yep, seems that way. If it goes to CR, we'll probably be looking at a year or more of lockup while all the claims are reassessed.
If we get CR, a lot of involuntary holders will likely dump at least a portion of their coins.
That's preferable to the trustee dumping the entire gox stash.

Sure but that's not even the point. On average, you have to spend more money on lottery tickets than you win when you eventually do win, assuming a long enough timeline. Overall the money put into the system is more than the payout. It's a net tax on money-dumb people.
Most gambling is. Any casino or bookie almost always gets more money from a customer than the customer wins back. I agree a lottery gives some of the worst odds of getting anything back.

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.

Most banks are still using antiquated computers from the 60s and 70s. Although they hook them up to modern computers the central core of most bank's systems consists of obsolete hardware.

Pretty much. I've sold a bit to cover business expenses, shipping, and of course my new flamethrower (every bitcoin company needs a flamethrower and this is fucking amazing!). Also sold to pick up a Porsche, but that's about it.
And sold a few at 1200 to trade for gold, worst idea ever but hey them's the breaks. So you sell it when you need to and don't go bananas about it.
Meantime I'm off to Vegas and to test drive some Lambos. Anyone else out there this coming week?
I doubt that peeps in the mood, currently, to talk about lambos.
True, however I did buy the Porsche (an older one, so not that much B) at 2k a bitcoin, so there is that. Felt a bit dumb with it hit 19k, would still like it a bit more than 7.
At least you held out for 2k, julian071 sold a third of his stash at 1000 euro to buy a Ducati.
OK, I'm out. Sold everything @ 6120 euro. Only have some Dash and Byteball left. Gonna watch this whole Segwit2X-thing from the sidelines, I'll buy back cheaper or more expensive depending on the outcome.
Hope this selling everything pans out as well as the last time I did.
Last time you sold was at 600 euro to buy a Ducati. You should be proud now riding the most expensive Ducati ever?
Nah that was at about 1000 euro and it was about a third of my stash. Never regretted that decision =D

$20k just seems like too much in the middle.. so to me, just does not seem to be like a sufficiently eggregious "blow off top."
The projected blow-off top of 30-50K was 'terminated" with the use of futures.
Without futures deployment mid December, we would probably 'heated' up to that 30-50K number within a week or two.
$30-50K still seems too much in the middle. $100k seems like a nice round number for an Autumn blow off top.

Dunno. This is frustrating though, feels like 2014 again.
In 2014 we had a double top at $600+ in August and everyone was optimistic. The recent $8500 top has no matching April/May top, and everyone's pessimistic. That sounds bullish to me. Bitcoin usually does the opposite to the prevailing sentiment.
Or maybe I'm wrong and we can play bagholder bingo instead.

So is this what the crypto winter felt like ? Or still too cheerful?
Sentiment was much worse IMO.
For many, it was their first crypto winter. For all of us, it was the longest, and perhaps most depressing.
There were some serious questions about the future of Bitcoin, especially following the death of Mt. Gox. Even Andreas Antonopoulos was beginning to have doubts about the future of Bitcoin.
Yeah 2014 sucked, really bad!
Now I see the price has fallen so much but I’m far more confident about the future of bitcoin than I was then.
There were more bears back then, and they were more confident the price couldn't rise. They were all acting like this one.

So is this what the crypto winter felt like ? Or still too cheerful?
A lot of people melted away, at times there was just Chart Buddy auto-posting for three or four posts, which meant no one had posted anything for hours.
With Gox and the slow grind down it was just dull, felt like an ATH was maybe never going to be seen again. It wasn't despair, it was like watching a life support machine. Early 2015 was probably the worst, when it went under $200.
I was under water then, so just bought a load more to cost average down and didn't log in as often.
You could catch up on a week's posts pretty easily, though. The good old days, eh..?
Largely, I agree that currently we are not in a crypto winter.
Secondly, most of us (longer timers in this thread) should realize that a crypto winter is not a necessary precedent in order for the price to resume UP.
Furthermore, it has also been a pretty depressing 9 months with our current bottom largely being reached in early February and bouncing up within 50% of that up to $10k and back down again in smaller ranges, several times. Accordingly, we might be ready to resume up, at this time, right?
There were two pumps in 2013, and if a similar pattern emerges again we might get another pump soon. Perhaps we'll have to go sideways for a while before the pump sentiment begins.

It was a risky decision if you think for short term but since I am here till 2021 It doesn't matter much...
In the long run it doesn't matter much. People were trying to buy the bottom in 2015, but it didn't make much difference if you bought in at $150, or $200, or $250. By 2021 the price could be hundreds of thousands of dollars, and $6500 coins will be a distant memory.

I doubt many of expected it to break 10k, then quickly pump up to 20k. I thought it would briefly touch 10k then crash back down again. At least you didn't buy back at a higher price than you sold at. Sell high, buy back low.

I'd rather look at the last higher low which is 7429$ on Bitfinex. We have crossed the 200 MA a few times already and it was pretty worthless.

That makes sense. IF Tether really had almost three billions liquid in bank accounts and then they are moved to a different bank... There's not much banks that could take a liquidity hit like that.... no fucking way.
P.S.: In fact... No, I don't believe any single entity has 3 billion USD in liquid deposits in a single bank. Maybe I am wrong... If so, could anyone please correct me with an example of that instance?
Wells Fargo must think 3 billion USD in liquid deposits is small change. The Fed stopped Wells expanding its deposits beyond $2tn without permission. It's having to reduce its $150bn pool of deposits from financial institutions and its $180bn portfolio of trading and short-term assets as a result.
https://www.ft.com/content/4cb3250c-0936-11e8-839d-41ca06376bf2Wells Fargo is expected to turn away billions of dollars of deposits as the US bank grapples with the effects of an asset freeze imposed by the Federal Reserve after years of wrongdoing.
In the first punishment of its kind, the Fed has prevented Wells from expanding its overall balance sheet — the third biggest in the country — beyond $2tn without prior regulatory approval.
The bank said it was likely to scale back a $180bn portfolio of trading and short-term assets, and also reduce a $150bn pool of deposits from financial institutions.

As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands.
Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.
But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.
You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Oh great now we are going back down. Reaaally should have thought twice before dropping acid. Also I really should not be anywhere near bitmex right now. You guys need to keep reminding me not to sell, ok?
Did you know what everything we use as energy is really just a product of our sun? All the energy we store up and change from one form to another, blowing pinwheels that produce our electricity. Even the power that is spent mining bitcoins, which are just an idea bound by math (which is just another idea), comes from the sun.
The energy of the sun, stored as ideas, traded as value.
Om.
All you know and love, The fundamental building blocks you are made of, are popping in and out of existence all the time. Can you imagine that? Sometimes you exist, sometimes you don't. In fact, the entire universe just popped into existence. It should have popped out again, but for some reason we don't know yet, there was an imbalance between matter and antimatter. Matter and antimatter should have canceled each other out. But here we are, living in a world that is expanding faster and faster. What happens when the expansion starts slowing down? Or stops? You are the universe observing itself and asking these questions.
OK I am freaking out. Gunna go clean the bathroom. When you guys drop acid do your fingertips get cold too?
What was before the universe popped into existence? Where did the matter and dark matter come from? Can there be life made of dark matter, where matter is the "mysterious" one? I doubt things are really over with us expanding into oblivion, where protons, neutrons and electrons never meet again, there might be just a new start, maybe in a totally different way. I also doubt that water only is the single source of life like mainstream science suggests, there might be endless possibilities. One thing is for sure, universe is full of life. Brain goes on fire thinking of that subject, guess it's too much to cope with.
The whole body seems to get a bit colder when dropping acid, that might be just due to overall rise in sensitivity. Good to know there are some other psychonauts around here
A while back, there was the idea being thrown around of a WO Vegas party to celebrate $100K. Instead, we could all just meet up wearing our avatar hats and drop acid. What could go wrong?
What should yefi do, meet up with us wearing his avatar underpants?

Yep.... exactamente!!!! 2015 was a pretty long period of flat and a pretty long period of non-enthusiasm with regard to bitcoin.. and of course, a certain decent percentage of the actual post were from members pumping some alt coin or another.
That first pump back up to $500 got everyone posting again. The next pump back up to $10000 should have the same effect.

The saddest and funniest thing about bitcoin is... That there are still people who think it's ever going to hit 10 again xD

Don't worry Mic, those coins will never see an exchange.
I love dealing with individuals/family businesses. The guy operates an ATM in a restaurant owned by a Bitcoin enthusiast and usually deals in amounts of a few hundred bucks or less. He was more than happy to take a smaller fee to do that much at once.
Gotta love small businesses. I'm flying down on an airline started by some dude in Montreal, and back on a family-owned Mexican airline.
The Mexican one actually still serves complimentary booze. Cheap too. The whole trip cost me about $500CAD/$380USD. Since I own my own tax-free place down there, I don't have to pay for accommodations except for a night at a cheap ($15/night) family-owned hotel coming and going.
What I save on booze while I'm there and by turning down the heat while I'm away more than pays for the trip. It's like I'm being paid to relax in Mexico.

Same as anywhere else, $10kUSD, which is a huge amount down there because things are so cheap.
For larger amounts like my dental surgery or buying land, I load up my credit cards so that they owe me.
Of course if you use credit cards you lose anonymity. If anonymity is important, you can get someone else to accompany you and carry a similar amount.
I've never been searched or challenged coming into Mexico anyway. If you come in a plane full of tourists, they're just happy to see you and your tourist dollars.
I suspected they don't give a shit. Although I heard that for entering the USA it's the opposite, with money sniffing detectors searching for suitcases of cash.

How do you guys deal with excessive drinking? I mean, I'm functional, but would still like to cut down.
I had to just stop it all together, and sought the support of AA for a few years. If you feel that you may have developed a physical dependency, (like having to drink everyday to avoid the shakes,) I would seek medical advice before attempting to stop or cut down.
I have Ibian ignored, but I find "cold turkey" works best, provided you aren't a completely alcohol-dependent degenerate, in which case, I understand there may be some possibly life-threatening withdrawal symptoms to deal with (eg: delirium tremens complications).
Emotionally, it helps to treat alcohol with disdain and hatred for a little while. "Fuck this alcohol. Why am I drinking so much and letting it rule my life. I'm the boss of me. I'll show it !!!" sorta thing, and mind-trick yourself into having the fortitude to maintain restraint for a while.
I just had a single Greyhound to unwind a bit. Had another three beers with Rick earlier in the week after he had a rough day at the office.
4 drinks total in one week is progress I can live with, compared to a six-pack-of-beer a day prior trend.
If you can go for a week without a drink you're not addicted. If you can't then you're addicted.

It's not a physical dependency, more stress related. All the personal shit that used to fuck with me is taken care of; finances, personal freedom, usual bullshit. What's bothering me now is that as far as I can tell the entire west is heading towards a financial and cultural collapse. Soviet style on a grand scale.
My health is actually improving even as I continue to drink almost as much as before. But it's a bad habit that has to be gotten rid of.
... take up weed? ditch the booze, caffeine treadmill.
then you can migrate through the full spectrum, shrooms, acid, powders, crack, smack and meth ... the final stop being fentanyl

I tried to keep your hat as muted as possible in keeping with your grey-scale avatar and your no nonsense personality. Even though your avatar is named after itself, I had a lot of trouble finding it in a larger size. Today I had an epiphany and realized it was Ji-Tu Cumbuka from A Man Called Sloane. I knew I had seen him but it took a while to figure out where.... damn I'm getting old.
Five years now waiting for someone,
anyone, to correctly nail the obscure reference to my avatar image. His character name on the show was "Torque".
Mega merit for you! And thanks for the hat!
Edit: I've uploaded the new avatar, but still no change. Guess I'll have to wait...
I had to mess around with mine before it would change. I think I had to convert it to a png before it would change on bitcointalk, unless all I needed to do was wait, or clear my cache or something.

I am conflicted on organ donation. On one hand, it makes our species as a whole weaker as people who should have died stay alive and procreate, breeding even more weak and sickly people. On the other, it maximizes the use of resources. Difficult.
Humans that have automobile accidents need organs, too.
Having been in one, yes they do. But we don't discriminate between people who are useful and people who are pieces of shit in the current medical system, and most people are pieces of shit.
The problem with organ donation "scarcity" would be solved if being on the registered donors list way BEFORE needing an organ would be a requirement to later receive an organ. I would give a two year moratory starting today and who hasn't been on the list for at least 1 year on the date of need would NOT be anymore suitable for receiving an organ. Watch the donors list skyrocket in no time.
Are you sure that would work?
The possibility of having your organs removed while you're still using them might put people off going on the donors list.

Yes, it would work. There would exceptions of course. But I am sure the donors list would have an incredible pump.
I didn't say if I am a registered donor or not... but one thing is sure, I would be with that rules for sure.
P.S.: I am assuming organs only donated when you are already dead or in inminent irreversible death, which is how it is suppossed to work. Not about donating a liver when you are perfectly fine or anything like that.
I don't think there's anything in the donors agreement that says you have to be dead before they take your organs. Don't say you haven't been warned if they decide to take them while you're still using them.

He did, it matched. It seems no accounts are being recovered since before the summer even if you follow the procedure. Bummer.
Theymos said he's hoping to re-start up manually recovering accounts sooner or later. However, he also said Cyrus was still doing some last summer. It's probably best to contact Cyrus for now, but expect a long wait becaue the backlog must be massive.
...
It would take at least a couple hours every day to deal with them. Each case typically requires a lot of follow-up. And it's really annoying work. I used to do them sort-of regularly, but at some point I just couldn't stand it anymore, in addition to not really having time. Cyrus is still doing some, though not enough to keep up.

Yup. BCH, in the form of SV, is midway through demonstrating that:
- so-called 'nodes' don't matter
- miners decide, restrained only by the threat of users abandoning the chain
- forks can be just an upgrade mechanism - decisively, if backed by hash
- the most proof of work chain matters
But what doesn't seem to matter is actual user adoption, merchant adoption, investor interest, anyone really giving a shit, etc.
Sez you. The SV team says different. They have a realistic plan for widescale adoption. Meanwhile, Core is drinking 'chamapaign' at $50 tx fees.

"Craig Wright says he has an exploit to take down Bitcoin (BTC) by end of 2019. Does he? Or all talk?"
https://youtu.be/4TOnHAlI_VgWTF? I hope it's just Craig Wright talking out of his ass...
CSW's whole thing is to exploit how people tend to believe that things aren't
total lies. So when he says he's Satoshi, people think "Well, I don't believe he's Satoshi, but maybe he
knew Satoshi". Or "He failed to destroy BTC with mining power like he said he would last year, but maybe he still actually has a bunch of mining capacity hidden away somewhere." Or "There's no technical way for him to
irrecoverably screw with SegWit transactions, but maybe he found
some bug somewhere."
But really he's
completely full of shit; the vast majority of claims he makes are complete lies from front to back. (And often just a tiny bit of research will make this obvious.)
If he had an exploit to take down Bitcoin (BTC) he would use it today. Why wait for months before using it?

Haha. You funny guy.
None of the exchanges that matter call Bitcoin Cash 'BCash'. What makes you think they'll start now? Proof of Social Media?

Well. In 2017 I said there was a MAJOR issue with SegWit.
In mid to late 2019, I will explain it.
It cannot be removed. It cannot be fixed. It is not solvable and, you cannot work around it.
Sorry. You allowed Core to kill BTC.
I did try and stop you.
Fuck the lying bastard.
He has a history of breaking his promises.

The hashrate fight has not even started yet. All we are watching are preliminary intimidation movements. I would not count a winner just yet.
True enough. Though if momentum be any valid indicator...
Where's the ABC white knight? Is bitmain going to stop mining BTC in order to mine their fork?
What plans are there for block explorers and electrum wallets for the new forks? The SV and ABC websites only seem to offer qt wallets. I can't find anything for everyday people, only stuff for miners and full node hosters.

I am not a man prone to violence, but when I see outright blatant lies like this, I really want to clock that fart-huffer square across his moisturized cheek-bone.
I take some solace in knowing this lunacy will likely come to some sort of conclusion, within the next 48-72 hours.
I was panicking a bit earlier, haven’t felt like that since 2014. My nerves have settled now & I’m looking forward to seeing BCH & its shitfork suffer in the coming weeks/days. Their shit show can’t go on for too much longer, right?
And I did BTFD
Craig Wright's bullshit gave me a brief moment of panic until I remembered his broken promise to move coins from an early block to prove he's Satoshi. He's told massive lies before, and he'll keep doing it. He didn't keep his proving he's Satoshi promise, and likewise he won't keep his destroying Bitcoin promise because he can't.

Absolute fucking lulz.
I have to imagine Roger Ver is literally in tears at this moment.
Babies are dying, etc...
Unless he really has
BTC1MM (or whatever will be left after fighting ABC) and is actually insane enough to believe he can take on BTC i really don't see his end game. So Bitmain will unload their 1MM in bcashSV to him, and if we to believe that he already has 1MM in bcashSV that'll put him at over 2MM+ in bcashSV. A shitcoin with even less support than bcash and a ton of enemies WTF is he planning on doing with that?
His view is quite obv imo:
He builds a better product than the rest and therefore generates demand. If Reddit, Twitter or Bitcointalk like him or not won't be decisive for success or not.
Now you can obv disagree if the markets will agree with him or not or if he really will have a better product but you asked for his "plan" and here you go, that's his plan.
Step 1 pretend Satoshi, Step 2 buy big into fork while cheap step 3 use some of the personal funds to intimidate during fork, Step 4 control shitcoin and pretend it's new Bitcoin Step 5 be richer than at step 1
For faketoshi, I think it just comes down to this -

well its still looking like a disaster out there. No solid bounce.
I'm wondering what were the reasons for the bottoming period in 2014/15. I always thought it might of been that the mining costs at the time made a floor at that price, but I never looked into it. Does anyone know if the mining price was around the 200 level in 2014/15?
Bitstamp getting hacked caused the $150 bottom in 2015. At that time it was the biggest exchange.

There is risk in buying but take that risk as grown man's wisdom.

In 2015 it didn't matter if you bought at $150 or $300 provided you hodled. There were "experts" advising waiting untill double digits before buying.

What/when is the daily 'closing" in bitcoin?
Daily candles close at midnight UTC
Weekly candles close midnight Sunday night UTC
Why UTC time?
If the Bitcoin markets are comparable to the forex markets there is no strict daily closing time, but you can use a regional market time like UTC time.
https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/05/forexclosingprice.aspThe foreign exchange market, or forex, is the market in which the currencies of the world are traded by governments, banks, institutional investors and speculators. The forex is the largest market in the world and is considered a 24-hour market because currencies are traded around the world in various markets, providing traders with the constant ability to trade currencies. The forex opens at 5pm EST on Sunday and runs until 5pm EST on Friday, running 24 hours a day during this time. But between the Friday close and the Sunday open, the forex market does not trade.
The opening prices for the week are the initial trading prices on Sunday and the closing prices for the week are those of the last trade on Friday. However, over the course of the week, there really are no closing prices for the forex as there is at least one market open at some place in the world at all times.
However, we often hear quotes for the opening and closing prices for currency pairs in the financial media. For example, a news article might state how the U.S. dollar closed down against the Canadian dollar during trading on Wednesday. The price being quoted is the closing price for an individual market within the forex market. There are three main regions - North America, Asia and Europe - and within each there are several forex markets. In North America, the main market is in New York, in Asia it is in Tokyo and in Europe it is in London. There are many other individual markets within these regions that are part of the forex market, and each individual market has an open and close (i.e. does not trade 24 hours a day). The New York market, for example, trades from 8am EST until 3pm EST. In North American media, the closing price will often refer to the closing price of the New York forex market.
While these quotes give financial-media users a sense of the current market, the quotes are not as accurate as the actual current market price. For any forex trader, the best forex closing price to use is the closing price of his or her transaction.

Yes, I was referring to the poll actually, which mentioned Nov 25 Closing while as @toxic2040 rightfully noted, there is NO closing per se.
Midnight UTC is probably the best; albeit I seriously doubt that Coinbase and Gemini go by UTC, but they might be.
Gemini (and the winkdex) uses the gemini daily auction time of 4pm ET as daily closing time.

My gf of 10 years (we are early 30’s - got together young) is currently in the phase of telling me that I ruined ‘our lives by not selling when it was $19,000’.
You sold all your bitcoin cash at peak prices and had some good holidays from it. She must have enjoyed those.
When Bitcoin hits a new ATH she will enjoy living in a mansion with a lambo in the drive.

morning lucky coiner

Never will bro, this might be the thing that makes me a millionaire if the bull run is actually a bull run.
Mornin, thread.
You're pushing your luck, pal.
When life gives you lemons, you trade it for bitcoin.
Each time the BTC price moves up, let's say an additional $100, then you move your stop loss up an additional $100 or so, or at least $50 or $60? The only penalty, or cost, is that you are borrowing money (because 80x is leveraged on borrowing, right?), so there is an interest that you will have to pay for the longer you hold it open and at the time that you close it.
I always keep it beneath the hourly golden ratio of the fibonacci retracement. I correct the stop accordingly to every dip and rise. I am riding this wave as high as possible. Anything beyond this point is a bonus.
Why not use full moon cycles instead?

Well, it looks like everything is going according to the best scenario. Either this was the final drop (which I don't think so) or worst case we can go for a final capitulation FROM a higher price (ie: $4.5K to $3K) in January-March.
I also go for the second scenario because I suspect we haven't been able to accumulate enough at the bottom. Next time many will be prepared for a stronger faster bounce on huge volume.
This is fine.
We're still at the bottom. 85% down from ATH. You think peeps who bought at 3200 won't buy at 3900? Laughable. 3900 is still dirt cheap.
Why buy at 3900, when I'll be able to buy at 2900 soon?
In 2014 they asked why buy at triple digits when you can buy at double digits soon. They're still waiting for those double digits.
On the other hand others asked why not buy at $400 because it can't go lower than that. A few months later it went down to £150.
IMO Bitcoin is as predictable as a crap shoot.

I have found the exact post/decision where I fucked it all badly at the ATH.
Yeah, stops are not foolproof but are better than nothing.
Should have listened TERA right there:
If Tera ever returns people should show due respect. Until he/she/it irritates enough people that they all start up sniping again.
You make no sense.
Tera was calling for prices to go down from $2k all the way up to $20k, so of course, she was going to be correct sooner or later.
Sure, she knew about various trading dynamics, but the extent to which you are suggesting that she is some kind of sorcerer, seems both unnecessary and even a mischaracterization regarding anyone's ability to foresee where the price is going to go.
I don't have any problem giving deference to posters who back up their ideas, yet frequently Tera did not do that, she would merely proclaim doom and gloom over and over, and if anyone listened to her, they might not have even bought, and likely sold too much too early.
Tera's no sorcerer and even admits getting it wrong at times. Nobody knows what Bitcoin will do next.
2 years like this means BYE BYE BTC
Why ?
I thought something similar in 2015. "Its broken the trendline. It shouldnt have gone below $260 (to $160) and should be rallying by now. Something terrible must be going on. Is bitcoin hacked?" Luckily I couldnt bring myself to sell my remaining coins. They were worth so little.

^ Just so you can finally shut up repeating the same old argument over and over. Yes, we are going to a cashless society. That is probably already irreversible, it's just a matter of time.
No, I don't think states are supporting Bitcoin for that nor they really need to but if that were the case it would go to the moon first.
Now just fucking stop FFS.
What do you mean we are going to a cashless society?
The only time I have used cash in the past 12 months was when I was defeated by a parking machine in a UK seaside town which would not let me out without a pound coin. I had to go to an ATM and then to a pub to buy a beer so I could get a coin. Fucking savages in the UK.
Well that's exactly what I mean. I still profusely use cash because of reasons. Most people don't because of convenience. But we are going onto a path where soon will come the day that we won't be able to use cash (for the most part) even if WE WANTED TO.
Most euro countries you can not even buy a high end TV set using cash. It's forbidden by law. They will keep decreasing the max limits over time.
Why?
Because cash is way harder to control than banking fiat or even Bitcoin.
cash is the ultimate privacy token. which is why powers that be hate it (even though they control the supply) ;-)
don't write it off. it has uses. Going cashless will mean less freedom
Going cashless doesn't work if there's a power cut.

Hacked Customer Data From World Leading Cryptocurrency Exchanges For Sale On The Dark Web?
https://www.ccn.com/hacked-customer-data-from-world-leading-cryptocurrency-exchanges-for-sale-on-the-dark-web/"On a darknet market called “Dread,” a vendor going by “ExploitDOT” is attempting to sell user data from the know-your-customer (KYC) data top cryptocurrency exchanges ask for, required by most jurisdictions.
According to data shared with CCN, the hacker has an ad that has been online since July 2018, in which he claims to have hacked documents used in KYC checks – including identity cards and drivers’ licenses – from users of top exchanges like Bittrex, Poloniex, Bitfinex, and Binance.
The data is seemingly for sale for $10 per 100 documents or more, with discounts applying for those who buy in bulk, all the way up to $1 per 1,000 for an order of over 25,000. CCN was able to independently verify the ad on the dark web, which is still online. No links to it will be added to avoid promoting the service."
One reason I refuse to send this shit to exchanges.
Even most banks don't require scans of passports and driving licences. It's a pity decentralised exchanges don't have high volume markets.

There's usually a dump in mid-January when it's the latest US residents can pay their tax bill. That's behind us now, so there should be less dumping and a chance for accumulators to pump the price.

It's been 18 months now.
I quit smoking more than 15 years ago.. and the cravings do mostly go away, even though they can come back from time to time.
How many years does it take for the cravings to stop?

Thx V8 but do we know what the amount on exchanges are? That is just the starting wallets and their balances. There should be a public accounting of the funds somewhere since its a class action right?
yes that is not official, but it is where the money is, rather than being on any exchanges. a much better way of noting any movements than official channels, which nonetheless are here

Bitcoinist estimated the gox stash at 166K BTC on Aug 03, 2018.
https://bitcoinist.com/mt-gox-creditors-bitcoins-next-summer/Approved in June, the current rehabilitation plan aims to distribute the Mt. Gox stash — which is currently about 166K BTC (or almost $1.3 billion USD).
On the other hand bitcoinist estimated the gox stash at 137,890.96 BTC on Jun 22, 2018.
https://bitcoinist.com/mt-gox-bitcoin-whale-trustee-wont-sell-btc/The creditors will also be required to refile their claims by October 2018. Nevertheless, since Mt. Gox. still controls 137,890.96 BTC
The two figures are almost the same, apart from an insignificant 28110 BTC difference between them.

Getting out of your bank account is.

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.

If you use chrome upgrade it quickly. There's a new zero day vulnerability being exploited.
https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2019/03/06/serious-chrome-zero-day-google-says-update-right-this-minute/Chrome users, make sure you’ve got the very latest version.
Or, as Justin Schuh, one of Chrome’s well-known security researchers, put it:
"[L]ike, seriously, update your Chrome installs… like right this minute."
Precise information about the Chrome CVE-2019-5786 zero-day is hard to come by at the moment – as Google says:
"Access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix. We will also retain restrictions if the bug exists in a third party library that other projects similarly depend on, but haven’t yet fixed."
When we heard that the vulnerability was connected to FileReader, we assumed that the bug would involve reading from files you weren’t supposed to.
Ironically, however, it looks as though attackers can take much more general control, allowing them to pull off what’s called Remote Code Execution, or RCE.
RCE almost always means a crooks can implant malware without any warnings, dialogs or popups.
Just tricking you into looking at a booby-trapped web page might be enough for crooks to take over your computer remotely.

Not if you're American or British and maybe quite a few others. It's just as taxable as an actual dollar trade.

I created this tx 3/4 hours ago when price was $5,4xx but now it's bitcoins is $5,108 (preev rate). The USD value now and then has chanced.
For X amount of USD, the bitcoin ($5,4xx) then was lesser than now($5,1xx).
My question was, is there are block explorer which capture the USD value of the tx when the tx was created. I hope it make sense now.
I think blockchair does what you want. This example transaction from it shows a $138.67 value for 0.025 BTC at 14:10 on 2019-04-24.
The price of 0.025 BTC is now about $126.725 as a result of the price crash. Blockchair appears to show the USD value of the tx at the time the network accepted it.

Here's daddy's carry piece.
The one time I may have had to use it, was before I had it. I was rolling through a bad neighborhood in a bad city, with my windows down, like a dumbass. Thankfully, the would-be carjacker was dumber, as he ran at my vehicle from straight ahead, thinking I would slam on the breaks to avoid hitting him. I stepped on the gas instead. Problem solved, but unfortunately he managed to jump out of the way.
Nice gun.
You sure it was a carjacker? Maybe an insurance scammer?
How would a raised window protect you from gunshots?
To be honest it doesn't seem like the best situation in which a gun would have protected you better than what you did.
In fact (regular) guns are not that much useful against any determined attacker as they have the preparation and surprise advantage. Might be useful to put an end to a random "accidental" confrontation that escalates quickly though.
One of these anti-carjacker flame throwers would be useful in that situation.

Mostly not
In Northern Ireland, all police officers carry firearms. In the rest of the United Kingdom, the majority of police officers do not carry firearms; that duty is instead carried out by specially-trained firearms officers. This originates from the formation of the Metropolitan Police Service in the 19th century, when police were not armed, partly to counter public fears and objections over armed enforcers as this had been previously seen due to the British Army maintaining order when needed. The arming of police in Great Britain is a perennial topic of debate.
The vast majority of officers are instead issued with other items for personal defence, such as speedcuffs, extendable "ASP" batons, and incapacitant sprays such as PAVA or CS spray. While not firearms, incapacitant sprays are subject to some of the same rules and regulations as a projectile firing firearm under Section 5 (b) of the Firearms Act 1968.[2]
Since 2004, police forces have issued Tasers to Authorised Firearms Officers for use against armed assailants which are considered by the authorities to be a less-lethal alternative to conventional firearms.[3]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_use_of_firearms_in_the_United_KingdomThings are changing in London.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.481360The Metropolitan police have said they would press ahead with plans to allow armed officers to patrol areas with their guns visible and ready to use, in an effort to quell knife crime and violent gangs.
...
Some parts of central London have armed patrols to counter the threat of terrorist attack, but the new plans being developed by the Met would send armed foot patrols to residential areas with high violent crime.

The guests dietry requirements might make it impossible to host the party in a single country. Infofront insists on jellied eels.
You're right - it checks all the boxes except for one. I was raised on jellied eel. The lack thereof is a serious dealbreaker.
Similarly Scottish guests may insist on haggis, which is illegal in the USA as it contains sheeps lungs.
Other guests may insist on other exotic delicacies like the ones below that may be illegal in certain countries.

Once installed in the (padded) office they blow raspberries, sling their droppings around and occasionally the perennially out of work actor Jeremy Allaire is hauled out of whatever truck stop strip joint he's working the door at, gets hosed down and sent to some conference.

Tried to buy it back off the hacker but no answer to any of my messages.
Oh well, c’est la vie. Bitcoin is flying so I have other things keeping my spirits up
Theymos delegated account recoveries to a new team to speed things up.
We've streamlined our processes, and Cyrus has put together a team for handling these cases, so
account recoveries should now be handled at a reasonable pace again. Additionally, we will be
somewhat more lenient in recovering accounts without signatures, though signatures often will still be required, depending on the situation.
If you have a locked account, send a new email to the @bitcointalk.org email address given in your "account locked" error message. (The email address changed a few weeks ago.) If you were previously sending messages to me or Cyrus, send a new email to the address
here. We might try to go through the backlog of old-process recoveries in the future, but for now you should send new messages.
Sorry for the delay!

Port Glasgow is about 22 miles up the road. But that's going up in the world too. You can still get an apartment there for about $5,000 if you shop around all the same.
But yes there are bits of Glasgow too that are fooking horrible, mainly the outskirts where slum dwellers were sent to newly built estates for a supposedly better life. But there's lots of elegance and green spaces too.
I thought you meant Glasgow when you said Port Glasgow. I didn't realise they are separate places. This is paraphrased from wikipedia.

Greetings fellow Wall Observers.
I found myself with some extra cash, and want to get more bitcoin with it. My problem is for a couple days now I think “I’ll just wait for a dip”,.. but nothing considerable ever comes, even on Sunday. I was hoping for $7,800, then $8,200, then $8,800
Now I’m starting to feel like I should just FOMO buy. However, in the past whenever I’ve done that, the dip happens right after I buy.
So
It doesn’t seem like I should wait much longer, but should I? What is a good target price I should try to buy at? Today? Tomorrow? Help? Thanks in advance
Noone knows... maybe split your purchase and DCA it over the next few days/weeks?
I do think a dip is due.... but it could well come way after $10K or just now.
At the very least, put your limit buy orders at the price you think it could dip already otherwise you may miss it... shit is bouncy lately.
I thought we dip at $6k, then dip at $7k, then dip at $8k. Now I'm thinking $10k, but if the bull run continues there may be no dip until far above $10k. The honeybadger often does the unexpected. It's anyone's guess what will happen next.

I'm happy to see the progress. I managed to unravel my self-induced whiplash with the small down spike yesterday, so I'm back to all-in bitcoin again. Always want to end my day with BTC.

B. Mega Bears getting antsy?
C. Just because?
D. Or...?

There are a lot of use case where I can give up a little of privacy for convenience
If you're OK with that, then you can use the credit card that you already have and:
- Get x% back
- Use your ordinary fiat currency instead of a weird amalgamation
- Have your payment accepted at pretty much every retailer on earth
There's a huge market for KYC payments, but it's already filled by credit cards etc. I see zero market for Facebook's KYC cryptocurrency: it's the worst of all worlds.
I cannot send Money from my credit Card to my young son, or I cannot send to an unbanked person.
...
I don't understand how libra will help the unbanked if they have to go to a bank or money exchange to buy it with cash. Surely all banks and money exchanges will want to see ID like a passport. How can the unbanked get a passport with some earning less than $2 USD per day?
Even if money exchanges will do business without a passport facebook is demanding a passport scan for KYC.
https://edition.cnn.com/2019/06/18/tech/facebook-libra-cryptocurrency/index.htmlOne of the aims of the project is to help the 1.7 billion people around the world who don't have bank accounts access a stable currency and financial services.
But Libra will still face a hurdle to get widely adopted.

Was there any good news I missed, that's triggering this?
Dafuq?
Maybe China.
https://www.ccn.com/china-fueling-bitcoin-rally-search-engine-tether-data/China sort of unbans Bitcoin again.
According to CnLedger, a recognized crypto news source based in China:
‘It is legal to own bitcoins in China’ says Sa Xiao, Council Member at Bank of China Law Research Association, cited by The Beijing News. Besides, Xiao considers the occasional exchange of bitcoins between individuals and individuals is legal.
Chinese traders use tether to move money around.
From April to June, China accounted for 62 percent of transactions on the Tether blockchain, dwarfing volume from other regions.
While trading bitcoin and other crypto exchanges remains prohibited and the government has taken various measures to restrict trading, local reports have suggested that individuals are circumventing restrictions to trade at over-the-counter (OTC) exchanges or international exchanges using Tether.
https://www.scmp.com/business/companies/article/2163194/despite-tighter-scrutiny-crypto-trading-frenzy-proving-hard-douseChinese traders often utilise what sources call “client to client” trades.
Much like an online merchant would sell their goods on an e-commerce website, two individuals who have both completed a “know-your-customer” procedure with an exchange would swap “fiat” currencies, or legal tender of a government, to tether.
The exchange plays the role of an overseer of such trades, and stands ready to adjudicate in cases of failed trades, or transactions that are not honoured.
Several sources told South China Morning Post that the money will usually be transferred through bank accounts, or third party online payment networks, between these two individuals.
Once tether is received, then the trader can start trading crypto-to-crypto on any exchanges, with the execution done through virtual private networks (VPNs).
'''
There are no current or even foreseeable restrictions on using VPNs in China, providing a potential loophole for traders to access exchange platforms, the source said.

The bad news:
A real correction should come in soon, it is very unusual that after a 400% runup in 2,5 months every dip is bought up with big strength.
I do not believe we will see ATH in July, thus i will be closing all my longs and prepare for a real big judas candle.
Overall, a correction would be healthy now, though its bitcoin and we could see ATH by next month lol.
Everyone seems to be thinking we are due a big correction, so it might be best to go long.

But imagine millions of people living in tiny things like that, just shitting wherever.
Golden Gate Park?
Nice try, but no.
There is a map of san-fran with a little brown dot for every place human poop has been found.
The entire fucking city is one brown blob. It's not just the park.
And the average home price there is $1.62 million! People are prepared to pay a lot to live in a city full of people just shitting wherever.

Actually, I recall that some members deleted hundreds of their posts at various points in time -
Deleting posts was especially a trend when we were leading up to 10k pages.. in order to slow down the reaching of 10k pages. I did not delete any of my posts.
It was still a trend at 20k pages. My post on page 20k is now on page 19964

It kind of pissed me off. I was taking my sweet ass time accumulating in the $3K-$4K range. I assumed we'd probably still be there now.
I only ended up re-buying half of what I had originally planned - why couldn't we have just panic bought like bitches instead of being so methodical?
Still, can't complain.
I planned to buy in big at 2700-2800. I knew 3000-4000 was cheap long-term, yet I got greedy again, still beating myself up about that.

It backfired when I tried to open a Lightning Network channel with a low fee, and the channel was closed when it didn't confirm within 24 hours. Closing the channel meant a much higher fee did CPFP.

Boblawblaw tried messing about with it some time ago. I think he gave up after having similar experiences to you.

Playing with it over the last 4 months has been... well... a bit of a slog TBH as things were approaching the 0.6 release.
Funded about 0.5 BTC to play with across a bunch of channels, pulled out 0.26 BTC after shutting everything down. Fucked around with Satoshi's place a bit, bought some stickers, but I believe most of the 0.24 BTC I didn't get back was blown on channel open/close fees, and possibly just "lost" due to bugs and shit.

Fuck, we are due for another halvening already? It feels like the last one wasn't too long ago. These things are always such events but I have learned from the previous ones, they price in a few months before. That means Jan/Feb expect the boom, not May.
We were at three digits before the last one. This time we are at five digits. If we can reach six digits after the next one I'll be happy.

You can't really say that. That really depends on his BTC numbers.
He may advance to high class as well.
$100-300k net worth is what I'd consider low mid class (that's probably where he is right now) Not poor, but not exactly rich neither. Can't spend his shit as he likes which is a tight situation.
A x10 increase in BTC may push him to "high class" if he is %100 btc right now. $200k > $2m.
>$1m net worth is what I would call, "high class"
$500k-$1m, upper mid
$300k-500k, mid
$100k-$300k, lower mid
<$100k, pretty much poor
That's how I think it anyway.
You must be joking.

I don't know where you live but in where I live you are pretty much rich with a million bucks.
Of course there are factions in high class too.
I didn't say $1m is upper high, but that's the starting point. Even though It doesn't mean anything to many people like you nowadays, the dictionary says you are a HNWI if you have >= $1m.
Apprently investopedia agrees with me:
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/hnwi.aspA $1m is shit nowadays. You need at least $3m to live a modest lifestyle for the rest of your life.
Maybe it could be argued that >$1m net worth is upper upper upper lower middle class, but that's pushing it.

Sorry to barge in, but it is not a valid classification, afaik.
Here is a much better one:

Are you playing with 100% of you BTC stash, or some smaller amount? Frequently it is not good to sell too much of your stash and then wait for the price to come back down to your selling point. That's what happened to Roach at $700 and that is what happened to jonoiv at $6k.

According to squatter if it's a RICO lawsuit it's likely to get thrown out of court before it even begins.
Unfortunately for plaintiffs, there are onerous requirements for the complaint to show that there is enough evidence to allow the lawsuit to move forward as a RICO case. Judges take a dim view of efforts to turn what look like ordinary state law claims into federal cases by claiming a RICO violation. For that reason, RICO cases often don’t survive the pleading stage.
[...]
RICO lawsuits are tempting. They allow a plaintiff to sue a variety of defendants by claiming that they acted together and seek an award of triple damages, a bonanza in some business disputes that can run into millions of dollars. But these cases should also come with a bright red warning sign: Tread lightly or see your case thrown out of court before it even gets started.

It is true. This only applies to people subject to US taxation (citizens and residents) and it doesn't matter where they dump the coins.
Yes, you owe the tax whether you sell or not. It is the same for U.S. stocks when a company goes public, original employees of the company are often given stock in the public company and they owe tax on the value of the stock on the day the company goes public whether they sell or not. This normally means they have to sell some of the stock to pay the taxes due.
What if a fork isn't on an exchange on the day it's created? Does that mean it is treated as zero value? Most Bitcoin forks struggle to get on an exchange within weeks of their creation. Some never even get on an exchange.

So only in december those guys cashed out ~€11,6 million euro - and if we add late november we are at €13,6 million - about $16million dollars.
Think its pretty obvious who has been in complete control of the price of bitcoin over at stamp
Both the pumps and dumps are lead by those guys -

https://hullopillow.com/that-memory-foam-smell/... there are various reports and studies which indicate that memory foam may be somewhat toxic. Reports include carcinogenic chemicals and formaldehyde gas. To manufacture memory foam, chemicals are added to polyurethane to make it more dense and viscous at the same time. Additional chemicals are required to make the polyurethane flame retardant. One of these, Pentabde (of the polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) family), was used until 2004. Pentabde is now known to be toxic to the liver, thyroid, and nervous system.

Gox is stepping down amid what he described as a protracted legal quagmire that could take years to resolve completely.
Andy Pag, the founder and coordinator of Mt. Gox Legal, told CoinDesk in an exclusive interview this week that he now believes ongoing legal issues – in particular, a single massive claim by startup incubator and former Mt. Gox partner Coinlab – may hold up the crypto exchange’s civil rehabilitation process for up to two more years.

(...code bit snipped out...)
Those IP addresses all map to Telefonica de Espana. If it was you: give them back, please: 15VjRaDX9zpbA8LVnbrCAFzrVzN7ixHNsC
Now that 5 bitcoins is worth a fair bit, I'm thinking I need more cheating countermeasures. I can think of four things to try:
(...technical bit snipped out...)
If you get rate limited, you'll get a message that asks you to try again tomorrow.
BitcoinFX: thanks again for the donation to the faucet; I'm going to drain the Faucet below 500 coins temporarily, and will refill it with your donation after the new cheating countermeasures are in place.
Wonder if our dirty Spaniard was much of a HODLer....
Wobber also drained the faucet, but only as a demonstration to warn Gavin with. He paid back the 50 BTC.

I've been able to drawn 50 BTC in minutes using Tor. Please add some address filter too, so the same address can't be used twice. I'll also provide a Tor blacklist if you'd like.

This golden nugget is relevant to some US bitcoiners right now. How many will be moving to South Dakota before cashing out to avoid capital gains tax?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/14/the-great-american-tax-haven-why-the-super-rich-love-south-dakota-trust-lawsSouth Dakota has no income tax, no inheritance tax and no capital gains tax
Both jbreher and infofront were discussing Puerto Rico regarding that.
I researched Puerto Rico quite thoroughly a while ago. I think it ended up being 0% capital gains taxes all the way around.
The problem is, you still pay full capital gains taxes on anything you've purchased up to the point of becoming a resident. It's only the capital gains taxes you accrue after becoming a resident that are tax free.
Takes half-year+1day to establish residency. Not too onerous, for someone sitting on a pile of cap gains. Not by half.
The perpetual trusts thing seems a massive deal, and probably will be relevant to Bitcoin later on.

Well, hold your horses, there are still federal taxes, including capital gains tax. It's not written very clearly.
The only no cap gains tax for US citizens is the Puerto-Rico deal, but it is only until 2035 and only on cap gains AFTER you domesticated/moved your assets there.
Plus, you HAVE to reside there 183 days/year.
That explains why nobody has already suggested South Dakota.
I read about the pros and cons of the Puerto-Rico deal here. Like you say, it's complicated.

So a key insight from Craig’s point is that if mining is not sufficiently in the hands of users (i.e. decentralized) then censorship resistance is going to gradually die over time. Initially governments will focus on coordinating on freezing cryptocurrency associated with major crimes. But of course over time this will digress into a form of abject totalitarianism.[/size]

Anyway I made sure Firefox on my daily drive linux box is updated.
Android tells me my mobile Firefox browser is up to date, but it shows an older version number than the one cited in the warning. So I'll refrain from using it for now.
If the mobile browser is actually safe, they should say so.

Well, talked to the bank today about "selling the house for bitcoin", or to be more precise to take out a second mortgage, restructure my debts and "get some liquidity" as they put it. Good talk, and it's all settled. I'll be paying a llittle less each month, will have a substantial amount to invest in btc put in my account, and will also have a fixed interest rate for 20 years. Good times.
Of course they asked about what I wanted to the with "the liquidity", so i said I was looking to have some cash ready for when this whole cardhouse comes tumbling down, and invest in btc. That was a good enough explanation for them.
Nice bank. Crazy system. 1.7%.
My bank kicked me out simply for having bitcoins. They demanded information about whatever transactions I make. Obviously I told them to fuck off, and that was that.
Had I gone along with it, they would eventually have pushed for more. Access to monitor my wallets, maybe eventually direct access to them or demanding that they hold them in custody. Be careful.
There's a thread listing the banks that hate Bitcoin the most. Fortunately there's still a few in it that will do business with bitcoiners.

My companies factory haven’t shipped to us in a while. Every year they shut down for literally 2-3 weeks over Chinese New Year.
The only woman there who speaks good English has been speaking to us over Whatsapp & she said they’re not allowed to ship until the government give the go ahead. I’m wondering is this legit or just a delaying tactic due to them catching up on a backlog after their New Year shut down.

Is the corona virus halting shipments abroad via air or am I being fobbed off?
Id believe it, screw that if it can live days on a surface.

Forbes says human coronaviruses occasionally live for up to 9 days on a surface.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/victoriaforster/2020/02/09/scientists-predict-coronavirus-may-live-for-up-to-nine-days-on-surfaces/#745549dc14e3The review found that on average, coronaviruses can live on surfaces for between four and five days, but some could survive for up to nine days outside of the body at room temperature.
“Low temperature and high air humidity further increase their lifespan,” said Kampf.
However the study forbes got its data from shows the MHV mouse virus can live for over 28 days on a steel surface at low temperatures. There is no data on the current Chinese strain yet. The study just reviews viruses from old outbreaks.
https://www.journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S0195-6701(20)30046-3/fulltextHuman coronaviruses can remain infectious on inanimate surfaces for up to 9 days. Surface disinfection with 0.1% sodium hypochlorite or 62-71% ethanol significantly reduces coronavirus infectivity on surfaces within 1 min exposure time. We expect a similar effect against the 2019-nCoV.
Here's the table with the 28+ day MHV mouse virus figure in it.

I don’t really care if forestry workers are as productive as they could be, so long as they keep cutting down the trees and I don’t need to be anywhere near them when they do it.
It is absolutely imperative we don’t give them any other career options, otherwise they might become data scientists or entrepreneurs and compete with my business.
Accordingly high tuition fees are a critical tool in making sure we don’t run out of forestry workers, fishermen, roughnecks and toilet cleaners. People are generally pretty smart, so you can’t keep them down if we don’t have systemic barriers to social mobility.
Some people devote themselves to a worthy vocation they feel they are suited to doing. They don't do the job for the money, they have a passion for it. Are you seriously trying to tell me this bloke would switch to a data scientist job or entrepreneur?

Well now. I have learnt something today.
Lol, it is a good show. I first mentioned Bargain Boyz some months ago not knowing about the show, just making a generic nickname in reference to shrewd investors waiting to buy cheap coins at compelling bargain prices.
After making a few memes I googled it to see if some business had the name in hopes they could provide meme material, then I stumbled upon the real Bargain Boyz. Australian billionaires who make youtube videos while they wait to spend their vast fortunes on cheap corn.

I'm not a specialist in discussing US politics, but someone from the US please correct me if I'm getting it wrong:
Will the spreading of the coronavirus in the US benefit Sanders against Biden? Sanders is (arguably) the politician from whom I've heard about healthcare improvement the most; IMO, the failure of the healthcare system in the USA at this point will give the old man some extra advantage in his campaign.
Maybe. Bernie thinks all it takes for unlimited resources to materialize is for gubmint to decree it to be so. In his mind, costs and production do not exist.
I think the majority of Americans understand that resources are not magic fairy dust that can be conjured out of nothing.
At least I hope so.

____
Cut 4-5 lbs good fatty skin-on bone-in pork shoulder into 3" pieces after removing and reserving the skin. Salt liberally, and fry in enough lard to cover. Don't skimp on the lard.
After it's a nice brown add about a cup of orange juice (preferably fresh-squeezed, 3/4 cup of Coca Cola (preferably non-HFCS Mexi-Coke) and 1/2 cup evaporated milk along with a whole large onion, a few cloves of garlic, the juice of a couple of limes and a herb bundle. Oregano and bay leaves are standard. No cilantro though. That goes on later with chopped raw onions as a condiment. Likewise no chilies. Place skin on top and cover.
After it is back up to a boil, reduce the heat to a low boil (just over a simmer), and cook for at least a few hours (or overnight) until the juices are reduced to a thick gravy, enough to keep the meat moist while basically frying in the lard again. The meat should be super tender and moist, similar to what Americans call pulled pork.
Serve by cutting the pork, a chunk at a time, and some of the skin, into small pieces across the grain and piling on freshly made (or at least reheated)
corn tortillas garnished with chopped raw onions, cilantro, pico de gallo, salsa verde (mmm, chili de arbol), etc.
Leftovers can be frozen and reheated by frying in a little of the lard and moistening with a little of the juice. The bulk of the lard can be reserved, frozen and used for your next batch.

These are not to be confused with TV-cooking-show/foodie website/Youtube bullshit. These are real Mexican carnitas, cooked the way experienced Mexican mamas and vendors make them.
They're best made in a heavy cast iron pot but a good stainless steel stockpot with a thick enough embedded aluminum bottom will do. Ideally they should be made over an open fire.
Agreed.
Even if this is the result it's better than catching the virus.

I'm printing paper wallets on toilet paper now.
It's the virus times version of Casascius coins
But that only works if you have toilet paper on hand. If you're fresh out and you call around and find the nearest tissue paper is at a store hundreds or thousands of miles away, you can simply drive to a closer ATM and get several sheets to wipe. Here in the US, that may be 20 bucks per wipe, but you do what you got to do.
Guys look at the master races who dont use toilet paper at all but a so called bidet
How do you get your arse dry afterwards? Do they have an arse dryer like a hot air hand dryer?

yes.
some also come with deodorizing filters, but with the ones ive encountered the filter always seems to be broken or defective.
so im told.
Do they stink the room out if the filter's broken?
Are they as useless as the public toilet hand dryers?
Most people end out wiping their wet hands on their jeans in public toilets because the dryers are crap. If the bidet dryers are as bad what do you wipe your arse on to dry it fast if there's no toilet paper available?

I know you don't want to hear that kind of shit here. If I am wrong I'll lose an opportunity of my life but if my instincts are right, I'll be lucky to save my initial investment.

Interesting times indeed.
Centuries to come and the history books will tell about the 2020 Worldwide Toilet Paper Crisis. No mention of the virus though.
They say newspaper sales are in a steep decline. I bet sales shoot up if this toilet paper crisis continues. If it gets worse people will be wiping their arses on history books after the newspapers run out.

As far as I understand it Vegeta is a Prince from a kids cartoon in which most of the characters are named after vegetables. Someone started posting a picture of him each time we hit a new ATH.

I'm actually impressed as hell, that after today and such that we are at $8,100.00 USD BTC as I type this.
You must either be a future traveler or a traveller of the past, Searing.
Alternatively, you might need to refresh your page or reboot your computer.
Just for the record: In the past three hours, BTC prices have largely bounced between $5,200 and $5,400....
There have been no significant or meaningful BTC price movements or spikes outside of that price range... so far. Can ONLY wish.. maybe in a week or two, best case scenario, and a year or so, worser-case scenario
(I won't mention the actual worst-case scenario, we already have enough depressing news in actual reality and also coming through the keyboards of certain doom and gloom bear-leaning BTC price prognosticators).Trying to re-live my 'big balls' 2013 newbie past, when I dumped 1/4 of my take-home income on a KNC Jupiter BTC miner. Man the BTC/Crypto kool-aid was strong back then...
I'm probably gonna 'wimp' out but I'm trying! Damn, I was an 'impressive' newbie...I miss the stupid and dumb luck stuff I used to just do and be correct...and take it as a given...
ah..the BTC/Crypto 'cult' was strong in my heart then.

There was a popular dude who proved that nutrition doesn't matter as much. He only ate pizza each day (not fillippone!) but had a daily exercise routine and didn't gain weight.
The thing with the pizza is that the olive oil and yeast is good for your colon and digestion, so if you don't flood the hot disc with salami, all is well.
*There was a lab experiment with mice, a few years ago. They took obese and skinny mice, exchanged their gut bacteria (stool transplant) and guess what: The flabby mice got skinny and vice versa. In severe cases of inflamed colon, gut bacteria is exchanged via flush and stool transplant, symptoms go away almost immediately. Even a high correlation to depression was found, based on gut bacterial flora analysis.
You are making me feel guilty as I am baking my own pizza.
Quarantine doesn't rhyme with
Carbohydrates
But hey, we need some fun here!
Nooo
I also bake my own pizza, including kneading and rolling dough. More than often.
It's just that i can't eat a lot of it because of fructose malabsorption. My wife and kids are loving selfmade pizza.
Tomato and wheat, as well as onion, garlic (all the good stuff) and also wine (almost crying) don't do good to me, including bloating, muscle pains and sleep attacks. I spare you the toilet part...
Also, without pizza, you wouldn't be a real italian guy!
Here,

Why worse? Asymptomatic cases will for sure not need hospital. Main problem that we have is that there is/will not be enough hospital beds/medical stuff/medical equipment for all. If 70% of population is immediately taken out, then we are operating with much smaller numbers. For me this is a very good news.
The problem is asyntomatic is that they don’t know they are spreading the virus around. Hence they are actually infecting people a lot more than syntomatic people that eventually quarantine themselves reducing contagion risks.
This is why lockdowns are important even early on the infection cycle.
They successfully used mass testing to stop the virus in a small Italian town. Quarantining the asymptomatic was what totally stopped it.
https://www.nhregister.com/coronavirus/article/Italian-town-experiment-coronavirus-testing-Vo-15141033.php the small Italian town of Vò has not reported any new cases of COVID-19 since last Friday and the spread of the illness has been completely stopped there.
Vò, a town of 3,300 just outside Venice, was part of an experiment that involved aggressive testing and quarantine measures. Every single resident was tested for coronavirus in late February when Northern Italy was first rocked by the outbreak, and three percent of inhabitants were found to be carrying the virus.
Andrea Crisanti, an infections expert at Imperial College London, was involved with the experiment and told news outlets that half of the carriers exhibited no symptoms.
Anyone who tested positive was placed under quarantine, as were individuals that came into recent contact with the infected. The town's residents were then tested again 10 days later, and just .3 percent of the population was found to be carrying the virus. However, at least six infected individuals were asymptomatic and would not have been tested in most other countries.

"Don’t look now but you’ve been screwed again. The Wall Street bankers are again able to borrow at 0%, while charging you 17% on your ever-increasing credit card balance. Why aren’t these scumbag bankers announcing a three-month moratorium on credit card and mortgage payments, with no interest accruing? Because their goal is to further enslave you in debt, while enriching themselves. They will run patriotic commercials, while sticking a red white and blue dildo up your ass."
The EU has cancelled all bank stress tests for this year. I wonder if this is the year banks start going bankrupt again.
