shmadz: Are you still profitable as a miner at these prices? At what prices do you stop being in profit considering your electricity cost?
Serious question not trolling or anything
Well since a month or two price and diff finally reached some equilibrium, so lower price generally means lower hahsrate. So more coins to mine. That's especially good if you can afford to hodl and are optimistic about the future value, but of course that's all in the eye of the beholder.

Bitonic mainly use Bitstamp to replenish their coins, that's probably why they are out of coins today...
Aw really?? Then my conclusion was totally wrong, my apologies =/

The one comment on that article is also a good read. It's content is in stark contrast with the general tenure of this thread. But that's no surprise as this is the speculation thread (for people who want to earn fiat by trading BTC) and the reaction is written by someone who is more interested in the underlying technology.

It does seem to be one of the most popular arguments for BTC on this forum. Discussion on the merits of altcoins vs BTC always solicit lots of reactions about the market cap, the investments etc. into BTC from the fanboys. Seldom do they refer to the technology itself.

Any explanation as to what Im looking at?
After reviewing your recent post history I can only assume that you have been lurking more then posting on the forums.
Since that may be the case you have missed the past 2 weeks of my posts that may help in understanding the charts purpose.
However..
"My efforts are to enable people quickly and accurately see what is happening on all exchanges including volume. The grey lines represent bid walls that were recently put up or pulled or sold into.
On the right side you can see the volume for each exchange in BTC that helps see if arbitrage is being taken advantage off.
It can take up to 1 hour to move BTC around from exchange to exchange such as in the case of the large 1.5 hour volume at BTCChina before the dump of BTC for LTC on BTC-e.
Simply one can even watch the block chain to see the large sum of btc moving.
The charts serve as a record that enable readers are participants to make their own observations ( Knowledge is power ).
I have included the LTC portion in the charts to help manage market trends. This is a simple way to Screen shot and display movements when someone is playing the market.
This helps those who may have been oblivious to the fact that pump and dumps happen on alts in order to manipulate the value of btc/usd so that they can liquidate their alt coins at a better USD return.
Unfortunately their is no easy way to deal with the disinformation that is propagating from accounts with hidden motives. Especially when they attempt to discredit any perspective that exposes the failed attempts of market manipulation.
I do this service as an attempt to expose those who wish to undermine those less experienced in our community."
Thank you.

Greece is a basket case. It's not all that complicated to understand if you have a solid grounding in economics and human nature. Tsipras and Varoufakis are lefties elected to erase the consequences of a country spending far more than they earned for a prolonged time period. They face an impossible task and they know it, so they are busy blaming others for their obvious impending failure to do what they promised to do. Breaking promises seems to be the Greek national pastime. No sane person would want to negotiate with these bad faith actors even if they weren't deluded socialists.
This is essentially correct. Greece has had a negative trade balance for a very long time now, with no improvements on the horizon.
Greece will get kicked out of the EU. The EU is going to crumble because Greece is far from the only country in such economic dire straits. They are merely the first to default. These sovereign defaults will either take down many large European banks or usher in an era of massive currency devaluation. As nation after nation in the EU goes back to their own national currencies, Germany will find itself in a position of having nobody to sell it's goods to that has any money. Capital will flow in torrents into safe places, first Switzerland and England but later and in greater volume the USA.
This is completely wrong and demonstrates a clear lack of understanding of both European politics and European economics. Our institutions are complex and never straightforward. Even most Europeans don't understand them. You would do well to learn more about them before saying rediculous things like that.
Nevertheless: Greece will not be kicked out of the European Union. They will not leave the Eurozone or be kicked out of it. Leaving either the Eurozone or the Union would not absolve their debts. There will be more negotiations. A settlement will eventually be reached. The EU will continue to heavily subsidize Greece, which Greece is dependent on to survive. Their economy will take a turn for the worse but they'll still be better off than in any other situation.
As a whole, the EU is still running a trade surplus and is as such doing okay. Despite what you believe, Germany amounts to only 20% of the EU's economy and does not dominate European policy. This percentage is actually shrinking as eastern Europe developes. There is no massive currency devalutation nor is there one in the making. There isn't a single serious effort to reinstute national currencies, as not a single country would stand to benefit from it.
There is a whole lot of exaggeration when it comes to European economic and political instability (which is mostly just perception), and it seems you've fallen prey to it.
Thank you for taking the time.
Also, to the original poster, instead of your diminutive attitude to 'the lefties', how about acknowledging that the 'righties' that created this mess in the first place are finally displaced from power. Finally there's a change of course for the better.

In particular, I believe that it is not a coincidence that there are so few women who are "into" bitcoin.
The bitcoin phenomenon today is a combination of naked greed, selfishness, delusions of grandeur, sense of entitlement, narcissism,
extreme idiocy and sociopathic scam-prone behavior/thinking patterns.
Definitely not a coincidence.
This post is so good I just had to quote it. Sure, it should be in the 'meta' section, but still.

This remark should really be in the 'meta' section, but as part of this thread hosts it's own meta-discussion I'll post it here regardless.
I think the mods just let this thread be. It's the trollbox of bitcointalk.
I can live with that as long as other parts of the forum are protected. It would be nice tho if some mods would just clarify this issue.

Nothing fishy about us, we just have connectivity issues at our hosting provider for the front end which we have told all of our customers about in an update email. Our mining is totally unaffected and of course our customers can just email our order or support team if they need anything done.
We hope to have it fixed fully soon but we are in the hands of the underlying people that are hosting it to fix it. These things do happen I'm afraid.

Thanks Justin. FYI I was not implying there is something fishy about Megamine itself.

I thought just ignoring all the sockpuppets one by one was not really a big deal, but now that they're (it's?) gone, I notice how much more like an actual forum thread this forum thread looks. Much more readable somehow.
I also have the feeling that something is in the air (could be because BTC is groundbraking technology poised to revolutionize yet another import part of our socio-economic system. But could also be because of wall street, I don't really know). And meanwhile, the marketcap is growing by 22,5 million euros a month even if the price is moving sideways. Great times.

That's good news for all the hodlers. I've been dead wrong on almost all of my trades. Probably Greece will default on the 5th of june and a lot of Europeans will get out of € and into BTC skyrocketing BTC-euro value.

You are brave. I don't know when or if the price will start upward again, but from my experience in the past, it can happen very quickly. In my case it can take me several weeks to transfer any significant amount of fiat to the exchange to transfer back into bitcoin. I hope that either you have much faster method of transfer, or if you're just leaving your money on account at the exchange, that your exchange of choice is more trustworthy than most.
Best of luck.
Thank you.
As I am in Europe I use Kraken. SEPA-transfer is pretty quick. I chose not to keep the € on Kraken tho, as this thing might take some time to play out. A transfer from Kraken to my bank-account is only € 0.09 and free from my account to Kraken, so better to not take any risk with these kinds of amounts.

I wonder if this stress-test thing will mean anything for the price, as BTC are delayed getting into and out of exchanges. I can imagine that not being able to get any BTC into exchanges could make the price go up.

There's a lot of discussion here about the pros and cons of a bigger blocksize, but other threads elsewhere on this forum are more informative about this subject. What I am interested in is, what are you people thinking this whole blocksize discussion will mean for the price the coming weeks or months?
I'm asking because I'm usually dead wrong when trying to predict what will happen. This will probably mean the price will sharply rise very soon, as I have sold my entire stash @ 208 euros hoping to buy back a lot cheaper when this whole thing is settled (one way or the other).

220 seems to be a solid floor we've seen before. I'm guessing this is the break even point for miners and they don't sell below 220. Everybody seems scared to buy right now even though 2 months ago people were wishing they would of loaded up at 220. Funny how that works.
Interesting, thx!

Post 12232428 (copy this link) (by julian071) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_14.24h):
a few words.. to get things as clear as i see them:
people seems not to grasp the complexity of the matter: it is indeed highly political.
mass adoption will not improve bitcoin's store of value, it is quite the opposite actually, it will flood and drown it.
but this mass thing is so not going to happen anyway, even if you "scale it" in advance. sry people wake up, bitcoin is out of the reach of regular sheeple.
people are too much anticipating, buying the fake dreams of them antonopoulos, gavin et al, saving the planet with free insta-frappucinos.
but it's its scarcity both in cap and transaction that will allow it to surpass any regular investment.
i mean fuck look at the damned financial markets all around the world that are on the edge of a massive collapse!
it is its robustness against human miscalculations, its decentralization, its permission-less-ness and its network's security that matters.
why always this urge of Quantitative Easing everything?
that is so wrong on so many levels and in total opposition with bitcoin's fundamentals.
i do hope its antifragility would make bitcoin rise up from xt's hashes.
but for now, gavin et al had exactly what they wanted, that is dividing the community and induce fear that it is not such a good investment.
the rules should be set in stone, and not subject to any major modification and by anyone, or that would create a precedent.
for example, just look at what them politicians are doing with the euro and greece! they rightfully fear to create that precedent of exiting that stinky zone!
but hopefully, not like the euro, bitcoin is an investment! not cash, not pocket money!
it is a Privilege, as in the privilege of securing your wealth from the banksters and bypass them!
so bitcoin is bound not to be free to transact with. nevermind, just HODL ffs!
otherwise it will just be a pale copy of visa/mastercard/paypal and it will sink, because it simply cant compete.
thats why its price is stalling now. you cant have both an investment and pocket money. by definition it is not the same.
so get your shit straight and tell them egomaniac forkers to gtfo of bitcoin! starting with them two usg moles gavin and hearn.
regards, from a fellow bitcoiner.
When I started reading I thought for a bit your shift-keys were broken, but later on I guessed you are just trying to not wear out your keyboard prematurely by using certain keys too much. Very wise.
Why are you not 100% into Unobtanium if you want a crypto just as a store of value?
I for one enjoyed paying my beer with Bitcoin when on holliday in Berlin =D

I do want that, but I know I will have to wait for quite some time! I also know that there will be quite some growing pains until we reach those numbers. And I am of the opinion, contrary to you, that to reach those numbers, Bitcoin MUST be in use as a currency, not just a store of value. I find it hard to imagine it reaching such highs without mass adoption.
You genuinely should check out Unobtanium, it's a good project.
Edit: I don't see much added value in Dogecoin and LTC. I do use NLG tho, being Dutch 'n all.

ok lemme try another angle.. what is the currency the most used on the planet? dollar right? why do you think it isnt worht 100K euros for exmaple?
because it is not an investment. its a currency! or you have to buy a lot of dollars to consider it an investment. even tho it will crash at some point once they'll be done with
QE and you will loose money. cant have both man, its all about how people perceive bitcoin. either a currency.. or a safe-haven investment, a personnal unbreakable safe for when the rest of the financial world approach doom.
so if the latter be sure moon will be on sight
A good point at first sight, however there's quite a lot of dollars created out of thin air on a daily basis. The inflation with BTC is also quite high but it is in keeping with the growing demand.
And that is exactly the point, the value can only rise if demand becomes much much higher. I can only imagine that happening if a whole lot of new people start using it. Hundreds of millions preferably. If it's only a couple of investors' toy it will never be worth much, at least not for a long stretch of time.
Edit: consider the scenario where there were only 21m dollars created in the first couple of years of it's usage, but then the demand for dollars kept growing like it did?

The best thing 'amateur' traders can do is buy in at these low prices & HODL until the halving. Stop trying to play & guess the market, you will lose that game 9 times out of 10.
Do the sensible thing, buy in & HODL until the halving. I guarantee the price will be double what it is today at least. Why try & catch 20 USD pump & dumps now? If you're not a whale & able to manipulate the market you will lose unless you get lucky.
Solid advice, at least for me.

GREAT IDEAR!!
First, sell your considerable stash of .5BTC
Second, after you sell, then possibly others will follow and the sell off will begin to happen
On the other hand, maybe Third: you can buy back in a week at $300-ish... hahahahaha
Fourth, if you are feeling a bit uncertain about the price direction, then you can sell again when when BTC prices drop to $280-ish.
You'll be doing real favors for the BTC economy, and some of us who want to accumulate more BTC.
FINALLY some solid advice in a thread were predictions somehow never come true more then 50% of the time... Thank you good sir for your time and wisdom.

^ Meh. Guess you know for sure the forum / population has changed when a (relative) newcomer account blocks (justified or not, doesn't matter) a bunch of posters that have been here from day one.
I don't think you need to generalise, I personally just can't stand the utter naïvity of some libertarians, even though they've been around for long. Fatman3001 has a point tho. I'll uningore some people.

Volume on Gemini down to almost nothing again.
i would blame the weekend for that. no fiat->no trade.
Wonder how the other exchanges manage? Perhaps by... but no, that's just crazy talk.
as far as i know the other exchanges are a little older than 2 weeks.
Fiat vanishes from Gemini over the weekends? Institutional Investors caught unawares by bank holiday?
Again?
After a few months of this weekend thing happening every week like clockwork, they'll likely catch on.
I remain cautiously optimistic
prices last week on gemini showed a big gap towards other exchanges. the reason is pretty obv, fiat pouring in immediately panic bought btc no matter what premium they had to pay. therefore no fiat at the weekend on gemini. pretty simple.
as the workweek at the eastcoast starts exactly NOW, it will be interesting to see the next hours if the volume starts to rise again.
Wow. Good timing.

also the volume on Bitfinex should indicate the 500$ as the top of this parabolic rally. I guess we will just make lower highs and lower lows every time bull try to push it up for next couple weeks/months

I shorted, so it's bound to go up.
Despite reasonable volume the price change now is not that big. I did not short for a big price change. It seems there is quite a solid foundation for the price as it is, give or take 15 dollars or so.
Also the rampent FUD (edit: and other BS) surely means BTC will go up again pretty soon.

I agree with you that there is a general pressure, at the moment for prices to go up, but I cannot really agree with you that the current price is in any way stable. At the moment, there is so much volume that should be a fairly strong indicator that it is taking quite a bit of effort to keep prices in the current range $320 to 340-ish. Maybe volume will settle down, and this will become a stable range, but currently it seems quite far from stable and there remains considerable potential for explosive movements in either direction... with upwards seeming to have a slight edge, no?
Hard to say, have the same feeling, am trying to close my short prematurely with a tiny profit... It's just so unpredictable... Looking forward to the day that the market cap is so big that the whales have less influence...

The problem is they probably won't hear it because the actual reason to limit bitcoin usage has nothing to do with IS or terrorists.
...?
You're new here. What brand of conspiracy theorist are you?
No conspiracy theorist just being realistic.
But if i where one i would tell you Europe has already been sold of to IS in some way. Everything is going to shit here and fast. Islamic fractions will find their way into our governments soon as they get elected by the vast majority of the Muslims that are present in all the countries in the EU. Already everything is working backwards in the Netherlands. We are not allowed to protest, the borders will be kept open, asylum seekers will get max protection and can do as they like. Hell they can even marry 9 year old children here because they are Muslim.
The EU gave Turkey a vast amount of money to keep more asylum seekers there. Their leader Erdogan buys his oil daily and directly with the IS.
But then again that shit has nothing to do with bitcoin so in here it's irrelevant
My apologies for my misinformed fellow countryman. We're not all like that. Unfortunately some people get played by the propaganda of the rightwing politicians who are just in this game for their personal gain.

I hope they have fairer fees than the other Bitcoin credit cards.
Otherwise it won't affect the usage
And the coins will be easier to spend, so more sell pressure
I never got my head around the argument that less spending (=usage) of Bitcoin would somehow be benficial. Seems like a very short-term view to me.

I haven’t had anybody ask about it, no murmur of it at all,” Jackie Williams, an owner of the furniture retailer Furnish Me Vintage, which is located by the stadium where the bowl game is played. She noted that the most she heard of Bitcoin in the last year centered around Silk Road, the once-dominant online black market that used Bitcoin as its primary currency. She had been excited by the possibility of Bitcoin when I talked to her last year. “It’s kind of a sad thing that it hasn’t taken off, and that it’s had more bad publicity than good.”

I also think it's unlikely for the course to go down. The diff is high and I think that the Chinese won't let the price go down to much to keep their mining operations profitable. Of course this relation (between whales and Chinese miners) is personal conjecture, but this is the speculation thread so....
Also, China is facing economic difficulties, so BTC might be a good investment for them. However, looking at the charts, it does seem to me that in 2016, America en especially Europe seem to have wanted the course to go higher more then the Chinese do up til now.
N-Korea testing an H-bomb without notifying China beforehand might also spook some ppl into buying gold and BTC.

I am quite sure the price has not finished going down a little bit. BTC deserves a good haircut for bad management and not acting quick enough. I can only hope (for the bagholders) that when the price does get cut bij 30% or more, some people get the wake up call.
My personal opinion is that this is not going to happen any time soon. The discussion on this particular forum should not be taken as an indicator for that, I know, but I do sense that there are just to many bagholders with wrong motives in this scene.

Luckily most mining pools are intelligent and have our best interests in mind like most of the developers and these drastic steps likely will never be needed.
Its a fatal misapprehension to believe that any actor in Bitcoin has your best interests in mind. Bitcoin works because everyone can work to their own advantage. Its been designed that these interests naturally self align without any central coordinating function.
There is no invisible hand here - and devs have no business guiding anyone.
Satoshi obviously understands human nature and planned Bitcoin accordingly. One of the mistakes he admitted was offering no reward for running a full node. People still do it with the best interests of the network in mind, but there are decreasing numbers of people prepared to do it for nothing. There would be an order of magnitude more nodes if people were rewarded for running one.
Having a decent wallet would help too. Switched to Electrum today, I really got sick of of the QT-wallet fucking up the block-index, verifying stuff for no apparent reason and for looking fugly while doing it. I never could wrap my head around why not more energy was put into a more sexy looking and properly working wallet... Except I understand a lot of ppl think the end user is not that important, BTC was designed purely for either tech nerds or speculators, buying a cup of coffee and running a cool wallet at home is supposed to be done with other crypto's like DASH?

The more contentious alternatives the better. The HF only triggers at 75% - thats 75% for Classic.
That means that core must now share the remaining 25% with all the other implementations. They will attack each other into oblivion.
Check out the link, comrade. There is no competing over 25% remaining ASICs' with what is being discussed. It is both fascinating and encouraging and we shouldn't worry regardless the outcome. I am at peace with a potential HF and Classic. Either way, the future is great.
P.S.. 75% of hashing does not equal an economic majority or a majority of users. Appears to be more supporting Core, but who knows , such a difficult thing to measure. GPU only mining would bring in many new participants who left for other alts long ago , and casual gamers with good gpus as well .

Your post is linguistic and conceptual fraud. There is nothing "simple" about a contentious hard fork.

Don't think of Ethereum as a cryptocurrency. Ethereum is more a crypto-solution to centralized web services rather than financial services.
Think of its token, ether, as fuel for ethereum processes.
Nope. The only thing it is is a money making train right now. Incredible volumes. The only thing folks are seeing is profit. People would trade a token whose only function would be to make your dachshund sing like Michael Bolton if it made them similar money.
Yeah well there is a reason why Ethereum is so popular. Can't blame the people who solely focus on Bitcoin for missing that, because, well, they solely focus on Bitcoin (and call everything else an altcoin). I saw someone compare Bitcoin to the gold of the internet based economy, and Ethereum to the fuel (the black gold) of it. Ethereum is way ahead of Bitcoin in enabling decentralised apps, where the token is the fuel for running these things.
I think it's a shame that develeopment of BTC is so self centered. You can't just keep relying on having the biggest market cap. Developers should look at innovations elsewhere in the crypto sphere. Or be left behind one day.

Do you honestly think the present price action has anything to do with technical merit or adoption? I'm sure it's leagues ahead of btc in multiple aspects. I don't think the overwhelming majority trading it care or know. The only interesting thing about it to them is that it's a rising number on an exchange.

Pft deterring fees will occur automatically as the block reward disappears. At a price of 500$/BTC it would work out like this:
1 block (25 bitcoins) created every 10 minutes -> for each minute, 2.5 bitcoins are created X $500/bitcoin = $1250/minute.
So every minute $1250 in fees needs to come from transactions (instead of the block rewards today)
Using 10 transactions/sec as maximum speed (with current block size), 600 transactions each minute.
$1250/600 transactions = $2,08 per transaction.
Even higher BTC price -> even higher fees.
Edit: and if you use 5 tx/s instead of the theoretical 10 tx/s the amount doubles.

Edit: and if you use 5 tx/s instead of the theoretical 10 tx/s the amount doubles.
Yup. What's wrong with $4 a transaction? Totally fine. $40 a tx is fine too ....

Dash might get intresting too. As BTC seems to have given up the idea to become the world's digital cash (and instead become it's digital gold reserve), something has got to fill that large gaping hole.
Still, I believe BTC well get pumped one more time around the halving. That might be a good time to diversify more. Right now I'm 45% 'diversified', with 0% ETH.

Not quite yet. First, Gavin and Craig Nakamoto will have to cry foul about the core-team revoking Gavin's priviliges. Then a lot of chaos and price dropping. Next, miners will get in trouble and more chaos will ensue. By that time it's time for the halving, and that will be the mercy blow for a lot of miners. More chaos. Then the real Satoshi sends a verifiable message that we should all buy Dash (or whatever) and he burns all his BTC. Then ded.
Of course, this would mean y'all should go long now, as usually the market does exactly the opposite of what I predict (at least when I put my money where my mouth is, and I did).

Plural is either die in 1st, der in 2nd, den or denen in 3d, and die in 4th. You don't do that in English. So for example:

I just can't see it NOT being a FIAT vacuum cleaner.
Don't worry, I don't think Bitcoin will ever be a "fiat vacum cleaner". Think of it this way....
There are 2 general types of "money" needed by advanced economies. 1 type that keeps prices stable (for trading) and one type that keeps the supply fixed (for store of value). The one that keeps prices stable is simply a way to denominate trades - it isn't actually "money" in the sense of being a bearer token like commodities, precious metals or cryptocurrencies. On many websites now you can even choose how to denominate your trade - Canadian Dollars, $USD, EUR, whatever.
Those trading currencies need to have a variable supply - like the USD. A fractional reserve system which inflates and contracts according to liquidity requirements. If you don't have that and use a fixed supply currency like Bitcoin for trading then half the businesses in the world will go bust and the other half will make supernormal profits which are not sustainable.
So I don't see bitcoin ever being used as a trading currency en masse. (You don't see prices ever being denominated in gold and neither did we when there was a gold standard). Bitcoin is a base asset which can be used to "back" trading currencies for example or facilitate the capitalisation of whatever markets, but I think prices will still continue to be denominated in prevailing regional currencies.
I should be clear as many have made the "vacuum cleaner" statement. What I am saying is that instead of having a savings account we will (at least) have "Bitcoin accounts". Sure, the money supply by governments will want to be contracted and expanded for reasons that both make sense and are sick. No argument that that will continue for a while, perhaps with different FIAT money though.
But me as a "working"
individual, I do NOT want to have my money sitting in government money as I don't trust it and don't like how it is being used and using us. I would much rather have it sitting in Bitcoin or something stable. Maybe we keep a few thousand in dollars for spending in a checking account (but maybe we don't as if BTC is accepted everywhere, why have anything in government money?)
I just think the numbers won't lie and that people, even if they are only losing a very small amount, say .1% of actual buying power per month, would not want to have their money in the regular bank and would much rather have it in a Bitcoin bank (under their immediate control or not) as it might sound better to them to gain .1% per month, rather than lose .1% per month.
Its about sharing
You make great and valid points, however most people don't have money sitting in the form of fiat. In fact, most people don't have a (relevantly) postive balance on their credits and debts at all! And those who do usually have them tied up in other things.
For example, being a (slightly above) average joe, I own a house. I am actually happy that the mortgage on that is denominated in fiat, because that devalues relative to the value of my house.
Fiat money usually gets spent very quickly. With interest rates being what they are, it's just no use keeping it.

J.T. Borgan
(<-- libel mitigation format) have got a stash of about 6M bitcoins that they've been accumulating over the last 5 years as part of a due diligence programme in case things get "out of hand".
They have a dedicated team of crack traders permanently assigned to the bitcoin market who carry out co-ordinated surge mitigation designed to pummel bullish sentiment at strategic points in the asset's growth such as the manoeuvre we just witnessed an hour ago where a potential rally got dowsed just at a key moment when the 30-minute chart was about to go green and the CNY valuation was about to hit 5000.
The footprint from this excersise can be seen here on the 30 minute MACD which has now gone negative again.
The J.T. Borgan surge mitigation team (and their industry counterparts at P.B.O.C., FED, BofE, ECB) have been well aware for years of the potential of cryptographic assets to burst the debt bubble and loaded up a long time ago as a matter of due diligence in order to be able to take full control of the market in the event of a debt/fiat deposit crisis.
Moreover, their crack trader teams are able to carry out their operations on a sustainable basis due to being able to front run the market using inside knowledge of when the co-ordinated manoevres are coming.
Enjoy !!

When I look at the charts, lately I see mostly oganic growth (slow, incremental), and large, not so organic dumps. 'Mostly' is an important word here, there are plenty of pumps too but they occur less often in my observation. It looks like the big players are trying (and succeeding) to keep the price down. This is of course slightly frustrating for the hodlers, who are impatient to become rich. It is, however, a good thing for all those small investors who have been coming to BTC more and more of late. I see this happening in my own surroundings. I'm glad they can get in relatively cheap.
I am looking forward to the day tho, that the marketcap is so big that whales have far less of an influence.

I've been using itBit. I was going to buy via Coinbase but their restrictions and all of that are too difficult to make it useful.
With itBit I have to wire my money to the exchange which costs me $30 on my bank's end and $10 on itBit's side and it costs .2% for a trade. Compare that to Coinbase's 1%.
So if you look at a $10,000 deposit for both:
itBit: $30 + $10 + $20 = $60
CoinBase: $100
Anything over $5,000 is cheaper with itBit.
But itBit is just a whole lot less restrictive than Coinbase is.
Wow, is that really what it costs??? Incredible! Wiring to Kraken (from within Europe) is free, and my money's there in around 12 hours. Trades cost at most 0.14/0.24%. Wiring dirty fiat back to my bank account costs 9 ct.

What makes you conclude that bitcoin development is slow, implying too slow? From my understanding there is a lot of development continuing to go on in the bitcoin space.
Even though transaction and payment system is not the only use of bitcoin, the total value of transactions on the network (and fees that people are willing to pay) continues to go up.. whether trickling or not, bitcoin is no where near to being surpassed by any competing system.
https://blockchain.info/charts/transaction-fees?timespan=allDo you think that some kind of banking payment system serves as any kind of meaningful competition to bitcoin's secure decentralized immutability - that continues to this day?
What makes me conclude that is that I see 'altcoins' lke Dash or even a tiny coin like NLG have more interesting news about innovation and adoption more often then BTC does. And I'm just generally amazed at how much time it takes to simply build a good wallet with features that people would want, like NFC payment and payment based on usernames instead of incomprehensible adresses.
You link a graph. I think this graph is more relevant:
https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions-per-blockI don't see the rise you are talking about.
You're not good at distributing hopium, JJG =(
About the comparison between fiat and regular banking VS BTC and blockchain technology, of course I do not think the former is an alternative to the latter, concerning secure decentralized immutability. If I would, I wouldn't ask for more hopium. I'm disappointed that this great technology develops so slow, especially in the area of making it useable IRL. BTC should be more then a toy for forum libertarians and Chinese speculators.
Thankfully some trolls have come out to play, that's usually a good sign, so thanks for that small amount of hopium.

For example in your assessments that adoption is not rapid enough and that bitcoin is losing market share seems to be quite a way off and really exaggerations, no?
"Bitcoin has steadily been losing some marketshare ground to shitcoins for 3 years now."
I doubt that the facts really support this kind of an assertion. Sure, we have been witnessing some innovations from altcoins (shitcoins as you call them), but in the end, any "losing of marketshare ground" is likely more illusory than anything.
JJG, since you seem to like to confront people a lot, and since you are always in need of hard facts, stats, and proof over public sentiment (which is fairly palpable atm), then here you go. Third chart at the bottom, the 3-year downtrend in bitcoin's overall crypto marketshare is as plain as day:
https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#btc-percentageDoesn't change the fact that I'm a permabull. But my patience is starting to wear thin. Other so-called bit bulls have already moved on and left bitcoin behind.
+1, I feel exactly the same. I went all-in back to BTC a while ago hoping the debate about the high fees would yield a solution, but I'm back to diversifying right now. Don't see it happening any time soon, and that might be not soon enough.

If he was American he should have created a corporation in one of the island nations with zero taxes. He could then transfer all of his bitcoins to that corporation.
Then if he moves overseas (at least 330 days out of the year) he can have the corporation pay him up to $100,000 per year salary with no income taxes. He can also deduct any overseas housing the corporation pays for.
He can drive the corporate car or ride in the corporate boat.
Doing this he pays no taxes.

still 1 month until the Christmas, what is years in Bitcoin trading time
Even if Christmas was tomorrow, so what? Why do you think it'd be negative for bitcoin price?
It's an expensive month, so I'd presume people that don't get a thirteenth month of salary would have to cash out some. Also less trading so less traders to absorb the coins that are being minted.

From what I can tell, that is a bit more than a 10% correction - could happen, but you may be a bit safer with some kind of incrementalism rather than expecting more than a 10% correction from our current price point.
Consider spreading the quantity of your total bet into 25%-ish increments (in 4 parts) moderately at around 3%, 6%, 9% and 12%
Will do, thx.

Most bullish chart ever. Breakout after 3 year consolidation.
Not a double top.
It is an extremely good-looking chart indeed. Now if you could all act very pessimistic and gloomy about the price (and activate Segwit), that would be the icing on the cake
.
- I highly doubt segwit will activate.
Definitely an option in my book. Core seems uncompromising in its attitude, and a decent amount of bitcoiners seem opposed to them, so 95% seems like an unlikely target.
Quite a shame though, bitcoin could really use all the innovations that an activation would enable (I know you might disagree). The most likely outcome seems that development will be stalled for a substantial time, which is not a win in my book. People paying for their pizza with btc would give bitcoin a positive vibe, a larger userbase, and thus more political clout.
It would, just look at the huge opportunity that is being missed right now with the cash money-debacle in India. An altcoin or multiple altcoins will fill that hole, as BTC development is just too slow and not really focussed on making BTC a viable option for low value transactions. BTC will just be the settlement layer for higher value transactions (hopefully).

Let's see where the support is now.
the next 24 dumps are critical.
The next several hours (from now) are critical. If we'll have more dumps and test (might even break) support at 5200 CNY, even if it will bounce, a very bearish scenario would become possible.
If however there will be a
small pump (that would hold for a while), then further support testing is unlikely to break and should result in a large triangle that should break upwards, with target around 8000 CNY.
The small pump happened, so far seems to favor the bullish scenario. But remember, the PBoC can trash the bullish TA anytime.
my speculation about the what happened:
1)when chinese exchanges hit new ath a cascade of naked shorts and fucked up max leverage setup caused the first dive. okcoin and others couldn´t handle the traffic anymore, traders couldn´t log in, fortunes lost.
2)some of those traders are high ranking members of the communist party (or their kids). they called papa or mama and cried because the got goxed by okcoin.
3)high ranking party leaders grabbed the phone and called PBOC to do something.
4)PBOC stepped in not to ban bitcoin, but to safe bitcoin (well, safe the crypto kids from getting goxed again - no more naked shorts, no more 100x leverage)

Who sold at the bottom?
I did. It's a local bottom though, only slightly disappointed in myself, could've done that a little more efficiently. Needed some cold hard cash and made a deal with myself to pay off some lones I made to invest in BTC right about now, so only slightly off target.
Edit: sold 40% of my stash today.

Yes I dit! Not only have I paid off the loans I made for my initial investements, I have also paid off the loan I had for my favorite mode of transportation.Not exactly a boat, but it puts a smile on my face every time I ride it.
Don't forget to follow current bitcoin price and calculate how much you've lost every time you ride it!
I never stop calculating how much I could've had with 20-20 hindsight. And the current price is of course still of interest to the part of my stash that I still have left. Much more relaxed about that tho now that I do not have loans anymore that I need to pay off.

?!...
You said you've sold out your bitcoins at the bottom during sell off yesterday. That is ~$45 less per bitcoin compared to current price! If your bike is worth 18.5 right now that means yesterday you've spent for it 19.5 bitcoins, right?
Sold two right at the bottom (965 euro) and the rest @ 978. The bike is worth 18.5 BTC in The Netherlands, but like I said I left behind a Honda Fireblade 954 RR and some cash. But cleraly I'd have more euro's now if I had sold today or some time ago at 1080 euro / BTC.

Ah okay, I got it now. Just wanted to be sure psychology is working as usual.
You had to repay a loan that is why you felt sorry all the way from 1080 down to 720 euro for not selling your bitcoins at previous 1080 euro top. That is why when the sell off started yesterday you've got scared to not miss it again. And you sold at the bottom.
People that have loans to repay are easily predictable. That is why it's soooo important to not buy bitcoins with borrowed money!
That's mostly right, I had set my target about a year ago around this number. And having those loans pressured me. Still, I managed to hold out till I had more then 200% profit, and I am happy I still have 60% of my stash left AND a Ducati.
I'm certainly less predictable now ;+D

None of my friends have mentioned bitcoin to me recently.
Now...these are the friends I was boring back in 2013/14 about it and when the shit hit the fan and it dropped to $200 I bought them all up. My friends know this.
This has all happened and not one of my mates has asked or text me about bitcoin.
Is this because:-
A. They all know the price now and don't want to talk about it as they feel sick knowing they laughed and made jokes.
B. They haven't even heard the news as the media have hardly reported on it.
C. They hate me and never liked me in the first place bitcoin or no bitcoin.
haha same here. I entered in bitcoin world in nov. 2013, and bought my first bitcoin on the top. Ande then lost in cuz I've been goxed.
But then I was more cautious, bought almost all of my stash at 200$.
Now all of my friends and family regrets that they didn't invested back then.
And some are asking me to invest their money now
And I'm like: Really do you want to be the fool who buys on the top and sells at the bottom? And they still want to invest...
Ask them if the price drops, at what price will they decide to sell. Like if it drops back to $200 are they going to sell. If they say yes then tell them they have to be prepared to ride it ALL THE WAY TO ZERO without selling. If they're not ready to do that, I would say I won't help them because the only certainty is that it's going to be VERY volatile.
I did help a friend buy some in 2014 at $600, who sold at just over $200 because he couldn't stomach the drop. Never again.
Bitcoin is a lot like the movie 'Fight Club'.
The First Rule of Bitcoin is: You do not talk to friends, family, or colleagues about Bitcoin.

You forget the chinese withdrawals that start tomorrow. When the chinese people see that the price is dropping they always panic and sell. So this means that wee can expect a drop tommorrow, and when ETF is not approved, what is likely to happen, will cause in an another drop. We are going to test 950 usd
And on top of that all this BU llshit makes me all bullish. You know, "Buy when there is FUD in the streets". Not to fast, nor to slow. It's picking up Bitcoins at a bargain time. Later living that "Bitcoin summer" when the harvest for the brave comes in.
Exactly. The FUD and the price going down is a good signal we may see a significant price rise soon (and the ETF being approved). This market is totally manipulated by whales. Apparently they want cheap coins.
If we were still going up right now I'd be bearish.

What do you think, how much time do we have left until they (Jews - the worlds elite) ban bitcoin worldwide due to potential danger for "terrorism"? Since they forbid anything they have no control over. Here in Germany (Europe in general) they started to ban prepaid phone cards already. Anything that you can buy without an ID is a risk for them control freaks.
My guess is, as soon as they will start their own crypto currency. I think about 2-3 years left?
Will not happen! They may try to regulate it even more.
But that will increase demand even more and people will buy more and more off exchanges.
You can not stop Bitcoin!
Germany is a shit place already! And I live there as well and can't wait to leave this place. But things need to be prepared well for that.

I think you're overestimating the importance of that. Especially for BTC. I mean really, who gives a rats ass? Why would ANYONE buy more BTC because of some fumbling American president? So some markets are down, they'll be up again in a little while. No reason that would be caused by American politics. If instability or mismanagement in American politics would mean a rally in BTC we'd all be rich already.

Pulled out my bitcoin app and it was defaulted to Kraken. I noticed the price high was $2589. Some crazy anomoly from the looks of it.
You sure that's the USD price and not CAD?
Current CAD prices at Bitcoinaverage are $2539 global and $2648 CAD index. I always quote global prices.
It was a fat finger 1000 BTC buy. Why anyone would use USD on Kraken is beyond me. It's a very creaky set up over there and as that price demonstrates rather thin.

The reality is that businesses are obliviously just getting on and using non-bitcoin blockchains (= alts) for all kinds of things without any regard to those arguments.
They aren't. It is all just a marketing strategy to appear blockchain-friendly / forward-thinking without associating themselves with the negative public image of Bitcoin (drugs, hackers, etc).
Bitcoin still works fine. Zero confirmation transactions are generally safe. Alt coins bring nothing new and have no advantages over Bitcoin.
It's this uninformed and complacent attitude that is the only real threat to BTC.

Ok yeah I see what you mean.
I'll try Bitstamp then, it's not really for the best to stay on a trading platform with such problems xD
It's not that I am vouching for Bitstamp either, considering the risks any and all trading platforms present. I am just talking about my personal experience/incidents or lack thereof.
Can you tell how many BTC were bought/sold in that huge spike to 2082€? According to the order books, it should take a massive order of almost 2000BTC to reach this price now. According to the charts, that did not happen (the volume in those spikes was about 100BTC). Therefore it was not a massive bought order but some kind of bug/error in their API. Dont you think so?
That does seem to be a likely explanation. Looking at the 5m chart, there seem to be two separate spikes above 2000Eur but both with rather low volume (100BTC)
Of course it was a "small" order that produced that spike BECAUSE IT BYPASSED THE ORDER BOOK.
But the problem is not in the API:
XBT/EUR
Last
€1,894.680
High
€2,082.958 Low
€1,757.400
24 Hour Volume
25,936.77
Weighted Avg
€1,879.344
There was real coins being bought at that price... but not from me or others even if we had lower sell limit orders in place way before that spike happenned. (days).
So the question is... who was the fortunate guy that sold them at that high price BYPASSING THE ORDER BOOK?
I was watching Kraken at that time. I was waiting in a queue for two hours and had very little to do except keep refreshing all my coin charts, including the Kraken app. I did not see that price reached or any unusual fluctuations in the price. I do not believe it was real, or if it was it must have been so momentary that no other prices were hit in between. A fat-fingered buyer perhaps? Someone who thought they were trading USD instead of EUR??
It could be a fat finger or most probably a short squeeze. That doesn't matter... the price reached 2082€ (as you can see on kraken site itself as high price today), I had sell limit orders placed on the ORDER BOOK from several days ago at 19XX€ which should have been honored. The price cannot reach higher without honoring orders in the order book. It's as simple as that.
Even if the site became unusable during that spike, orders already in the order book BEFORE the fat-finger/short squeeze must be honored (My orders were there from several days ago). YOu can even halt the trading for some issue, but the price cannot get higher without honoring previous lower orders. That's how an order book (should) works.
I also had a sell limit order today that did not execute but should have, at 12:51 GMT+2. I saw the chart, new my order should've executed, went to Kraken to go place a buy order, but no joy.

It really seems like a bot is constantly buying, like with Mt Gox. But I wonder if that is the case, or it is just general buying pressure from new investors.
It is not a bot and certainly is not a bubble! Bitcoin exchanges can't cope with the number of requests for new registrations by average Joe and Mary just entering cryptoland and buying their first Bitcoin. The avalanche of Bitcoin adoption has just started. It will take years until it settles down.
Edit: Yes, you can say that some exchanges are front running but this is only because they are the first to see organic demand picking up.

Made a huge loss, set some alarms at 1950 euro's so I could take a look and sell if it was going down hard (and it did) but forgot to turn them on (its a small slider I did not know about and apparently they were off for the new alarms I made). So in the end I woke up to a 400 euro loss. What a waste
You only have a loss if you sell for less then you bought. Don't be that guy.

You can get 0.065GB per BTC you own, that's already 52 USD value and there will be others airdrops.
You just need to sign a message with your BTC wallet.

My shtf plan is mobility. First sign of bad things coming and I find my next country to live in. And they all take bitcoin.
What do you call a sign of bad things?
That is likely a per-country call. I live in South Korea so the first confrontation between North Korea/South Korea(US) that is likely to trigger a war will be followed by my logging into cheapair.com and find the first flight out of here.
If I was in the US, things like passing laws that would likely trigger an event or the debt bubble finally pops, or something happens where energy is disrupted. Any war with Russia or any country who can actually hit things with their bombs is an exit event.
Though my line in the sand that made me leave the US was the tax on being alive (Obamacare).
As a foreigner, may I ask your opinion about South America? Related to signs of bad things.
There are several South American countries. A 1000+% inflation rate is a good exit sign. If I lived in Venezuela and could leave I would.
Actually there are only a dozen. My interest is specially about how Brasilian political and economic crisis is seen worldwide.
Outside of Brazil we are all given propaganda that one side or the other want us to hear. From what I see they got rid of a corrupt socialist leader and elected a pro business leadership. Usually when I see pro socialist news attacking something it is usually a good thing. I have some hope for the new leaders to turn things away from the bad road it was going down. I had several Brasilian friends and girlfriend in Germany. They love the culture but do not want to go back mainly due to how unsafe and corrupt it is.
We are indeed given diffferent points of view, of course it depends on how much research you want to be doing to be able to discern what is propaganda (an opinion from people who expressly publish that opinion to further their own agenda) and what is more solid journalism. What doesn't help is the recent trend of spreading FUD and discrediting science and journalism, by those who want to use pseudo-science and pseudo--journalism to further their own agenda.
Anyway, from what I see pro-business corruption is increasing, the old boys network is taking over again and as a consequence a small elite will allocate more riches to itself at the expense of the rest. The Lava Jato scandal is just an example of this.
Edit: 20k Yuan, here we come!

No big blocks mined yet, minimal price movement... currently $2732USD (Bitcoinaverage).

No offense, but I'm not sure that you got a great price there. It has been trading at 0.10-0.15 all week.
You can expect a dump, but there are some deep pockets that want BCH to succeed, so the price can bounce back, and 6.7% is a low bar to pass.
Time will tell! Either way, happy with the free BTC! =D

yes. use coinomi instead. you can sweep into it from your private key. it worked great for me. a little is on its way to viabtc now which i fully expect not to get back. that's if coinomi works sending out of course which i'm not sure about yet.

Any people here who got their BCH/BCC from their cold storage wallets and sold them already on exchanges?
I wonder if its availeble yet.
BCH is not available for deposits on any exchange that I'm aware of.
Kraken and Bittrex both gave BCH for BTC holders at the moment of the fork, but it's been impossible to deposit BCH from wallets yet.
ViaBTC accepts deposits.
I registered at ViaBTC yesterday to dump all my BCH @ 0.15. I used Coinomi on my Android to swipe the private key of my now empty BTC wallet (transferred all my funds before exposing my private key) and to send the Bitcoin Crash to ViaBTC.
It took all night to get enough confirmations to be able to trade the BCC. They are having a hard time mining blocks. Set my alarm for every couple of hours to check. My transaction of yesterday evening now still only has 4 confirmations.
Can't get out my BTC just yet. ViaBTC wants more confirmations on the BCC transaction before I can. Many people are having the same issue, but I read of one person on Reddit who was able to withdraw after getting enough confirmations, so I'll sit and wait a bit more before I go the long route, by exchanging BTC -> CNY -> LTC and try and withdraw the LTC to Kraken.
I want to sincerely thank the European Central Bank for it's invaluable help yesterday evening, I was really stuck and the tip on Coinomi (and ViaBTC) made this one of the most profitable nights I have had in crypto.

Of course BCH is going higher. It's near impossible to get BCH to an exchange to dump it. The pumpers are not having to work very hard at the moment.
In the meantime BCH is failing to mine blocks. So much for being the 'faster' bitcoin. They are finding out that it's not so simple to build something that actually works.

What price did you sell? I donno if I should wait for the next pump.... It is half than this morning.
0.15/BTC. This coin is DoA, never expected more than 5% and now I got 15% ! On the other exchanges it's just trader pumping and dumping air to each other. Wait till the flood gates are open and see the price crash. The blockchain is practically frozen. Nevertheless, crazy last 48h hours. I need drinks and/or sleep.
Could not have said it better. Also sold @ 0.15.

What kind of poll do you want?
I'm tempted to make a poll regarding BCC price, but this isn't supposed to be an altcoin thread.
I agree, all that is interesting about BCC is what it means for the price of BTC.
If you do want to make a poll related to BCC, maybe you could ask something pertaining to that, so e.g. whether people think this fork will a) show that the governance model of BTC is working as it should or b) shows the inherent weakness of the governance model of BTC etc. Just thinking out loud here.
Thanks again infofront for maintaining this thread, it's running very well! We can discuss developments that both in the short term and the long term influence the market value of BTC. Walls may not be the most important things in that respect anymore.

Those who did not dump bch yet would better wait for a decent pump to dump when it makes the most damage to the enemy and the most cash for you.
Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I'm waiting for. I'm 100% convinced that the FUDsters will attempt one more massive attack on Bitcoin, massively shorting/dumping BTC while simultaneously pumping BCH to the moon. They'll combine that with temporarily switching mining rigs over to BCH from BTC.
I'm guessing this shitstorm will happen in late Sept. or Nov. in retaliation for the SegWit2X snub that we all know is likely not going to happen.
I think we are seeing that happening right now. BCH being at 10% of BTC value is ridiculous. Money is about trust, and can you trust the people behind BCH to act responsibly and not out of their own interest? Answering that question sheds ligth on the true value of that thing. Also, BTC is not as high as you would expect with all the absolutely great news there is about it.
Don't underestimate the amount of money that is necessary to keep BCH at this level and keep BTC from skyrocketing.
If I would still have BCH I would sell it ASAP.

I don't think you understand bitcoin. The only thing that makes the entire system work is that Satoshi found the way to align everyone's own interests with what is beneficial for the network as a whole.
I would love it to be that way. It's not that simple unfortunately. The code needs to evolve.
In a way, forking it is of course part of what Satoshi imagined to be part of that evolution. However maintaining that fork and developing it further in a way that benefits all and not just (or primarly) the interests of those that forked it, requires that the people who actually do the developing act accordingly. Naturally one day the developers of what is now BTC Core and the code they develop may be superseded by a better fork, but this is not that fork.

Real estate isn't really "stuff".
It's a hell of a lot more "stuff" than make believe super mario tokens. The only downside is that in lieu of hyperinflation, the price of real estate should collapse to 1/2 or less of what it is now, so they will likely print us into hyperinflation to prevent deflationary collapse since it's the lesser evil of allowing the system to continue for a brief period longer. Silver is one of the few underpriced assets on the entire planet right now, while gold is also lower than it should be, but not anywhere to the extent of silver.
I think you know even less about real state than you do about Bitcoin. The real state bubble exploded years ago. Maybe in some places/locations/type of property there is still some overprice.... but there are LOTS of great buying opportunities.

You could buy a detached home with a bit of property in most states of the USA with that kind of money!
No offense taken!
On topic, I hardly do any daytrading anymore but imma gonna short a little this weekend. In fact I already did. Just have this feeling. Even tho the trend is obviously up.
edit:

Not for long though, so get one while you can. The deep state's long term plan is to eventually have all of the U.S. housing sector to look like Europe's: a bunch of really expensive, unaffordable 1-bedroom shoeboxes stacked on top one another with no land that you actually own underneath.
Which is why they love so much rampant immigration, especially into the metro areas, because they know that the incoming residents will be good with it since they are already accustomed to such meager living conditions.
I thoroughly love my shoebox, and I own 1/3d of the ground beneath it. To be clear, I am not an immigrant, I'm just used to living in a densely populated area. You obviously aren't, just please don't push your frame of reference on people like me.

but we can get close several times during next months, before its finaly broken

I see what you did there.
By the way, the recent downtrend may have been caused by all the insiders who knew btcchina was gonna close. Would also explain the large gap between China and other exchanges that we saw.

I need your help or advice, bittrex is blocking members account I immediately removed all my funds from bittrex, but what other exchange can I use?
I need some exchange that is not equal to poloniex, bittrex or yobit.
I need a professional exchange, that answer support tickets.
Try Kraken. They run their server on a toaster, but they don't fuck around with people.
What did I miss? What is happening to Bittrex? That is one of my favorite crypto-crypto exchange! Why blocking accounts and for what reason? Are verified account having this problem as well? I don't have my 2FA device with me and therefore I can't access trex right now.
Please share some info.
Let's talk price: my end of year bitcoin price prediction is getting closer. Waiting patiently for it.
Ok, now I get it!
I had a legacy Bittrex account: I could use it for crypto-crypto trades only and my withdrawal limit was huge (more than 500BTC per day). After reading this post I had a feeling they finally implemented the KYC for all and they did it.
My legacy account is considered as new and if I don't fill the Basic verification form I can't do anything else.
Such a bad Sunday news
Same situation here, but took less then 10 minutes to complete the KYC procedure. No biggie.

Shit article with moronic assumptions.
That's great to hear. I don't have enough knowledge to find all the flaws. The one assumption I could point out that seems fishy is the enormous amount of hashing power that the author is supposing that would move. Of course if that does not happen, his whole point is moot. However I find it hard to assess how much truth there is in that assumption. Your wise words would be much appreciated. If you could point other moronic assumptions that would be great too.
Regardless, I still have some Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt about the consequences of all the FUD that will surely be coming. Especially as BTC seems to be specialising in being a store of value and an investment opportunity rather then all the other things it could be.

I don't mine anymore but there is no way I would point my miners at a pool that switched to Bitch. If anyone is still using any of the Chinese mining pools, this should be a wake up call. I think a lot of people have already realized this which is why Slush pool has been growing.
The only reason Slush is growing is because all the other miners have abandoned BTC for now.
Miners aren't loyal to anyone or anything. They want them bills paid and some profit. That's it. If that dimness kills BTC they'll probably grunt and find something else to mine, even if there's nothing left.
This whole mining thing and the way it's organized really is a weak point of BTC.

If shitcoins pump then I can sell them later. And if not, then bitcoin is going to keep winning and clonecoins will be there as an insurance. Either way, the future is bright.

Post 24787154 (copy this link) (by julian071) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_15.27h):
Support was at around 40 percent. Then BIP-148 came along and threatened to disconnect any nodes that relayed blocks that were not signaling for segwit. At that point, you either signal or stop mining, so miners signaled. They were also encouraged by strong support (90%+) for the segwit2x agreement, which turned out to be a joke.
As I recall, this BIP wasn't merged in any official bitcoin-core clients. You'd have to download alternative versions or patch it yourself. UASF-supporting nodes were by no means dominating the node-network to be a threat. At least that's how I saw it while connecting for my daily sync. Perhaps the s2x was more of a motive.
There is a very large community of bitcoiners besides Wu involved with BCH. If you never venture out of bitcointalk.org or /r/bitcoin, I can't blame you for being blind to it. Censorship tends to create echo chambers, to the detriment of the people in those chambers. I never made the claim that BCH is Bitcoin. Clearly that moniker is more closely associated with the Segwit chain. But that may change with time.
My claim is that BCH is more closely aligned with Satoshi's whitepaper. At 1MB and with 2 week difficulty adjustment, the segwit chain is much more fragile than BCH. BCH's mempool has not ever seen backlog and now that the difficulty adjustment algorithm has been upgraded, blocks times are much more reliable than the segwit chain.
BCH is much more centralized, plus it's at the mercy of any script-kid wanting to spam it for peanuts and fill it with gigabytes/day of spam. Just because it hasn't happened, doesn't mean it can't happen. I would probably do it myself for 24hrs or so, just to make an "academic" point that the "mempool is full" bullshit and "we need an upgrade" can equally apply to a 8mb chain if one goes out and spams it. I guess other people too had this thought, but there is also the thought that people who want to sell their BCH will be prevented if they have to download endless gigabytes.
The marketing being pushed by the same crew is about the peer-to-peer e-cash system, with emphasis on the e-cash aspect. Centralization changes the first aspect: As people become unable to participate as peers, you go from peer-to-peer to a client/server model. You go towards the cash system a bit more (a few more tx/s while global requirements are in excess of XX.XXX tx/sec - which ultimately don't make a dent towards the cash-goal), but you recede way more in terms of p2p characteristics. If it's not a decentralized peer to peer system, then who cares?
THIS is the novelty of bitcoin. Not the 10 minute transactions. If people wanted a client/server system, they have paypal and it can do instant txs.
Even the cash-aspect of BCH promising "faster" txs is problematic. I mean if you want to go faster, you can do it like Litecoin (faster blocks). 10m blocks (on avg - could be 1hr if the difficulty is high) aren't good enough to buy you a coffee. Even 2.5m (LTC) aren't good enough - you'd need something like dash's system, or a pre-funded lightning channel.
Anyway...
Exactly. If these guys really just wanted faster and cheaper transactions they'd either just proclaim an altcoin like Dash 'the new bitcoin', or build something new from the ground up. Or they could even back Byteball, which by virtue of not needing mining at all is much cheaper, and actually gets faster when the number of transactions on the network goes up.
But of course, their real agenda is just making money. By mining, by pumping and dumping, or by any other means. This so called community behind BCH is just a mix of people who are purely in it for the money, and others who are simply being duped.

Full credit for having the vision and sticking to it through some long dark years.
I bought some AEON today for $2.45. Maybe if I hang onto that for 10 years it will also be worth $8k. It’s a Monero fork, equivalent to Litecoin.
Bitcoin is still your best bet. It's not too late to make a pisspot full of money just by holding Bitcoin.
When I bought in at $68 I felt like I'd already missed the boat. I was disappointed I hadn't learned of it 6 months earlier when I could have bought for less than a tenth of that. I really wished I'd found out about it when it was worth a few pennies.
Luckily, I realized how important Bitcoin was and didn't panic when it dropped to $50 after hitting $266. Instead I bought more.
Same thing during the long bear market following the Gox implosion. I kept buying all the way down and on every dip on the way back up. I amused myself through the tough times by sparring with Bitcoin-hating trolls like Notlambchop and Matthecat.
I shrugged off the loss of 50 coins to MtGox even though it raised the average cost of my other coins up to close to $200. I've kept buying the dips all the way up since then. Now my average cost is over $300 per. I'm still buying, except that now I'm buying a tenth of a coin at a time instead of ten at a time.
_____
I can see how some people feel it's too late to buy in. They said that at $30, again at $300 and again at $3000. They'll say it again at $30,000 but when John Mcafee avoids fellating himself on national television, people will be envious of those who bought for "only" $30k just as they are now envious of those who only paid triple digits. It's all relative.
_____
I really don't see any current altcoin having the potential for growth that Bitcoin has. It's open source, its network is the biggest computer force in history, and it has the advantage of being first.
The reason for the early success of Litecoin was that it extended the life of pre-ASIC mining equipment but most people mined it to buy Bitcoins.
Ethereum promised smart contracts but it was basically a scam on Vitalik Buterin's part to weasel other people out of their bitcoins by pre-mining and then holding the first ICO, payable in Bitcoin. Eventually the smart contract function will be added to Bitcoin via sidechains.
While there are some attempts at creating a revolutionary blockchain-based currency (especially in seeking anonymity) most are just lame me-too attempts.
IMHO only Bitcoin holds the potential to keep showing the gains we've seen these last 8-9 years. We may have missed the innovator stage of the adoption curve but we're still in the early-adopter phase. Just wait until we get to the early mainstream stage. It's not too far off.
Very well said. I entered at $200 and have to pinch myself every morning to check that I'm not still dreaming... Those reading your post will do good taking your advice.
well for...me it was oct 18th 2013 knc jupiter 500gh BTC miner .....price that day I think was $150 usd.
I made all my BTC and other crypto's from mining, I pay off such equip and get ROI thus any extra BTC and ALTS after elec/expenses/etc I hold
Should try this 'trading' thing...but I have a talent for probably buying high and selling low (at least with equip it seems that trend...why would it change for trading...
its a gift)
aside from that HODL is the way to go....also the way the IRS looks at my long term gains since 2013...IF I was to sell....I'd get creamed with capital gains tax
and increasing my tax bracket.....so say I panic, sell it all ....44% capital gains on Last in First Out (the 44% includes 20% capital gains..9% state of MN on such
and the increased tax bracket jump I'd take ..ouch..thus 44%)
So I've no panic'd and took the 44% loss on my hoard of BTC and ALTS...I then put them in my nice Edward Jones Accounts...like a good little wage slave....
everyone assumes a recession is coming (myself I think by March 2018) a recession is AT LEAST a 20% downturn..myself I expect worse with current Gov't climate.
so now at MIN I'm looking at 64% to say 84% WHEN the traditional edward jones finance account goes plop..*sure it may come back in 5 years but still*
The current tax laws are not made for windfall withdrawals on black swan finance events like BTC/Apple/Facebook/etc ...so 1st 15% is tax-free on capital gains up
to 35K I think it is..eat out a bit more add 20% on that for capital gains.....anyway with tax law you are supposed to nibble away at this as long-term investments
not dump and run
thus, panic is not the solution...HODL is
whatever, where I'm at in the process of making crypto sausage..unsure of the final result...the process is messy however getting them 'crypto brats' to a bun as it were.
You should move to Holland or Belgium. In Holland you only pay 1.2% on the amount you own the 1st of january, no taxes on the gains. In Belgium you pay 0%.

i will buy some mining rig (oh wait, there is still my BFL order that was supposed to be shipped in two weeks

no, BTL stands for BITCOIN LAMBO. and hell, yeah I will peg it to one lambo per coin. of course it will be not an old fashioned proof-of-work but proof-of-speed coin.

Just move to Amsterdam. No taxes on gains whatsoever, only 1.2% on the value of what you own at the end of the year. Buy me a beer when you do Bob.

Are you serious? I've been looking for something like that. Canada with its 12.5% for the highest gainers was already very appealing to me, but the ridiculously strict immigration laws and the (at least apparent) amount of SJWs has been putting me off. Some US states looked appealing as well with around 20% for long-term hodls, but all the bullshitting with net neutrality and whatnot doesn't make that country very appealing either (I love the drama, but only from a distance..).
What does immigration to the Netherlands look like and how easy is it to declare your net worth?
I am serious. However immigrating is not that easy, even though Holland is very welcoming. Most importantly, the country you move from will generally want to settle all outstanding stuff including e.g. pensions in one full swoop. How that would work out you would have to check locally.
As I understand, in Belgium you actually pay exactly 0%. Plus it has better food and wine.
However Holland is slightly more internationally orientated and better organised. Whether you like the culture more is a question of taste. The Belgians are more polite, the Dutch are more straight forward and open minded.
Edit: sorry, to answer your question, or rather not answer it, I don't know how the procedure works. Of course, bringing a lot of money with you makes things easier. Declaring your net worth seems a question of just doing so I presume.
Edit2: looks easy:

https://www.wikihow.com/Move-to-the-NetherlandsThe Netherlands would be simpler for me from a language perspective than Belgium. I also don't mind the liberal stance towards substances to say the least and I already know that there is some good and authentic Japanese cuisine in Amsterdam, which is generally quite rare abroad, so that's a massive bonus for me as I'd prefer not having to fly across the globe to satisfy some food cravings.
I've looked into it a bit too now, and it seems like getting into the Netherlands would be as simple as walking right in for me, unlike Canada. Seriously considering it, even if just for a short to mid term kind of stay. Anything is better than having to twist and bend to comply with tax laws without paying a ridiculous ~40% on gains for now.
Thanks a lot for bringing this to my attention by the way.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-30/asymmetry-bubbles-status-quo-and-bitcoinWhat's shocking and ridiculous is that upwards of $100 billion in electricity is squandered globally annually on stand-by devices and other painfully obvious sources of waste.
But this attracts essentially zero concern or commentary.
Do you notice any asymmetry in the scrutiny being applied to the status quo and to bitcoin et al.? The status quo-- wasteful beyond measure--is just fine: nobody questions the staggering waste built into the status quo, from hundreds of millions of devices consuming electricity but doing no work to hundreds of millions of vehicles idling in traffic for hours each and every day across the globe--nope, the really big issue is bitcoin / blockchain consumption.
Does anyone question how much electricity the vast server farms of Google and Facebook consume in order to serve up adverts and store photos of puppies and kittens? And how about the energy consumed by the NSA and the dozens of National Security agencies that have proliferated over the past 16 years? How much coal gets burned to serve adverts, archive photos of puppies and kittens, and store billions of emails, phone calls to Aunt Sadie, etc. for future analysis? (Dear old Sadie could be a jihadist--ya never know...)
Yep, the hypocrisy is insane.
Like when all the first world countries have to adhere to things like The Paris Climate Agreement and all these overly restrictive climate and anti-pollution regulations for industry, cars, etc. Meanwhile China and India get a pass to pump out UNGODLY MASSIVE amounts of global pollution from industry and vehicles that dwarf anything that the rest of the world is doing, and no one says a word... unbelievable.
AFAIK both China and India signed the Paris agreement, in fact the US is now the only country that hasn't.
Also, India produces half the amount of CO2 the US does, while China doubles it. If you look at that per capita, China produces half the amount of CO2 the US does per capita, and India one eighth. That should give some measure of pollution, but should be corrected for the much more high tech way that the US produces.
Don't underestimate the environmental cost of the American way of living. For example, the per capita CO2 production of the European Union is less then half that of the US.

What I find odd in all these confiscation stories is the password protection of confiscated bitcoins. I mean ok, the authorities might have access to a wallet.dat which says it has XXXX bitcoins in it, but from there to actually accessing the funds is quite some distance away - assuming there is a wallet key protecting the funds.
That's why I'm assuming that most authorities' "confiscations" do not necessarily translate to getting access to those coins.
But dont they interrogate the guys who are arrested?

Do you honestly think that the motives of Jihan Wu and Roger Ver are to change the world for the better? Really? Have you followed their actions and their modus operandi? And you have decided to side with

How does it feel to know that the whole Bcash one trick pony can loose most of its market cap the second Core feels that the benefit of raising the blocksize to 2mb outweighs the risk? That's their worst case scenario, and by the time 2mb is spammed to hell and people start bitchin' again LN should be right around the corner.
It is that
fear that keeps me from shifting more of my BTC holdings to BCH.
I believe that if BTC cannot raise the block size limit in the medium-term (3 - 12 months) then BCH will fully take its place as the dominant crypto.
However, if BTC is able to raise the block size limit, I could see BCH dying. But I think the political machine that BS/Core built to prevent the block size limit from being lifted will come back to bite them. Why won't all the same arguments against a block size limit be used again? If BTC tries to increase the limit, will this result in yet another fork and another form of Bitcoin (e.g., will this next fork have replay protection or not)? Will that really work? Or will people just decide that BCH is the solution for lower fees and more reliable confirmation times?
I highlighted the part that gives away your true intentions. You cannot fear that if you really want BTC to change the world for the better. You fear that because you have alterior motives.

I think you're friend was actually right that btc was too expensive though . how ironic
The irony must be so subtle that I can't see it. We're not talking "
The Gift of the Magi" ironic here; I think it's more a case of shit luck. The exchange AlcoHoDL set up his friend on just happened to have the mix of the alts that would prove to do well and
only those alts in fact.
What's ironic is that AlcoHoDL calls this person friend yet sets them up on Kraken. Friends don't let friends do Kraken.
Thankfully it all worked out.
LOL, you're right about Kraken, but it worked OK at the time...
Good thing is that he is now a HoDLer! A Ripple/Stellar HoDLer! He just logs in to Kraken to check his balance. Every other day he calls me and thanks me for what I've done for him. And whenever we go out for dinner or drinks, he always insists on paying the bill. So I got something out of it too, thanks XRP/XLM!
What, you're saying he can actually log in to the kraken every day? The comments in its announcement thread suggest it's sometimes impossible to log in, and if you can the trading engine is so broken that it can take hours to simply place an order.
It's slow as fuck but you can log in and trade. But only f you're old enough to remember 56k modem internet speeds, otherwise you're right, it takes hoooooours and it's impossible to log in.

The vacuum of the ripple implosion is pretty amazing. Haha, it sure is rippling the market. You know, I almost feel bad for the people that invested in it.
Ask my boss how he feels about his Ripples
He's already a (fiat)millionair but still believes Bitcoin is to expensive while i advised him serval times that you can buy Bitcoin for $50 and $100 etc.
Best part is that i told him i bought the dip during X-Mass....Boss: b...but did you spend $12.000? lol.
He had Bitcoin but sold all below $1000 while i strongly adviced him to HODL!
Most people here are miles ahead of the unknow, sheeps will never listen, just like talking to a wall no matter how many times you explaining it to them.
A million dollars a year will soon become the poverty-line wage. The poverty line wage today was amazing money a few decades ago.
You would literally have to make like 100 million USD in crypto to be able to retire in 40 years, and quit your job and stuff.
Not much to do with your story, but just a thought!
Not true, almost all investments should counter the inflation. And if you belive that all investments will go red in a total Armageddon financial crisis, you can just go roach and store gold and silver instead of fiat.
I will retire when and if I'll be able to cash out the equivalent of my salary until 70 years old +retirement untill 100 yo, I think it should suffice.
But for now that's only a dream, I feel a bit ashamed for that and somehow envious of all the multi-millionaires on this forum, i did never gave much value to money but I value a lot the life quality (not luxury but having time etc), and my inability of giving money their importance is the reason because I probably missed the chance of early retirement, an huge life quality improvement.
I still belive in bitcoin (the project, not the asset) and I really hope as hard as I can it will go to Pluto, but I would suggest all the people that are able to do so to cash out the equivalent of their life-wage, and enjoy financial freedom. I think that richness don't make people happy, but the freedom of using their time is a prerequisite for an happy life (you can still work when and if you want).
Hodl my hand, i hope that soon we'll all be free, and don't be too greed, because you can never satisfy greedness.
My thoughts EXACTLY.

In Germany you have to pay taxes as soon as you sell your coins and also have profits > 600€, it doesn't matter if you get fiat, another coin or bananas for it.
So it's not only exit to fiat.
Damned ... your where first
+1 ... in germany you pay tax for all things that looks like money or has any value. we as the tax masters of the world. 80% of the books about taxes are about the german tax system.
But one exception, if you hold your cryptos more than a year, you can sold it without pay any taxes. But if you sell this earlier, you have to pay with your own income tax rate. When you earn more than 66.000 Euro a year (in a job or from other things), you have to pay 48% on every cent you earn from selling cryptos.
48%
F that shit.
What stops one to "temporarily" emigrate to the UK and only pay 20% capital gains tax when selling?
Like I said, you should move to Holland. No capital gains tax whatsoever, you only pay 1.2% over the amount you have at the 1st of january of the year you have to pay taxes on. This is because it is considered 'property' (vermogen) and you have to pay 40% over a fictional rate of gains that is fixed at 3%. So 1.2%. Over the worth of your stash at the very beginning of the year. Harrrrrr!

It's the same concept at the basis of PoW: Working must be hard, checking must be easy. And stay easy.
So what is your point here? Do you assert that farmers in Africa are able to run a fully-validating, non-mining wallet client for BTC are fully able to, but are utterly unable to do so for BCH?
Again! Simplifying things down to 1/0, "fully able"/"utterly unable" is quite below you. It's a matter of degrees. Come on.
I am not a farmer and don't live in Africa, but running a "fully-validating, non-mining wallet client" is possible for me on the BTC chain, albeit not always comfortable bandwidth-wise. It would be nearly impossible for me to do the same on the BCH chain, if the miners would get their shit together and stick to the big blocks they loved so much, rather than jumping wildly from one size to the other.
Today, the BCH chain is less resource intensive than is the BTC chain. Of course, I expect this will change with increasing use of BCH in commerce. Nevertheless, it has been shown that today's typical home computer on a typical home broadband connection can handle about 100 tx/s before bogging down - several times more than that with fixes to the broken multithreading model in today's core-derived clients. And 100 tx/s is well below the current 8MB BCH blocksize.
Let's keep this discussion as it is for now and give it a few months, will we? LN is coming.
Which, I expect, will do very little to solve the congestion problem. But OK.
(Hint: a "fully-validating, non-mining wallet client" is what the rest of the world calls a full node.)
Hint: when Satoshi said 'node', he was referring to a
mining fully-validating client. Except for when he qualified it explicitly as non-mining. IOW, the coarsening of the language -- by people who should really know better -- has resulted in increased ambiguity.

Seriously tho, it's nice seeing all this drama having seen it so many times before. Especially because I see so many people new to crypto around me panicking, reminds me of when I started out. It is hard not to panic when you see your stash' worth evaporating, when you don't really know what's going in.

I received a PM asking for some clarification on my trading system. I figured I'd add the reply here, in case others might find it of some interest. First, the question, then the clarification:
Hey!
Sorry to bother you,I'm kind of a trading newbie(just got in the market mid-july) but i'd like to ask a few questions about your trading method.
I've seen that you sell x amount of btc on every 250$ it rises and buy y amount of btc every 250$ it falls.
Could you please explain it further?
How should I set my buy/sell orders?( With 1BTC as the starting amount for example)
As I got it, it looks something like this:
You have 1 BTC, the price is 10 000$.
Once it hits 10250, you sell 0.1BTC for example
You have 0.9 BTC+ 1025$
BTC price falls back to 10 000$, you buy 1025/10000=0.1025
You have 1.025 BTC
But what if you sell 0.1 every 250$, price is at 12500$ and you are all in fiat, out of BTC?
If BTC would have a bull run above 12,5k, i'd be sitting on the sidelines all in fiat. Is the solution to this is that you keep using your profits to buy/sell at a higher price scale?
I'd love to hear your opinion or technic on this!
Thanks,
Hi -
You've got the basics. However, you correctly have detected a risk in such trading. If your trades at each increment are a significant percentage of your total holdings, then you risk running out of Bitcoin before the price rises very high. You will run out of Bitcoin when the Bitcoin price is (interval * 1/percentage) + price_at_start.
The solution, of course, is to make your trade at each interval a smaller percentage of your overall holdings.For example, if you start today to trade one-onethousandth (0.1%) of your base at each interval, you won't run out of Bitcoin until the Bitcoin price is ($250 * 1/0.1%)+~$12000 = ~$262,000.00 per Bitcoin*.
If we ever get that high (I would not be particularly surprised), you'll be selling your last tenth-Bitcoin for $26,200. Not too bad.
*Actually, if you take your profits on the Bitcoin side rather than the $ side, this is a worst-case scenario. The volatility between today and the time we hit $250,000 will result in additional profit in the form of additional Bitcoin. This will extend the upper range at which you will run out of Bitcoin. Will it extend it to $300,000? $500,000? $1M? Interminably? No way of knowing in advance. But safe to assume it will extend it somewhat.
I suggest running out a bunch of scenarios in Excel, playing around with interval, percentage, and volatility profit, and map out a scenario with which you feel comfortable.
I'm not sure whether or not this is the 'best' trading strategy. However, it removes the need to be prescient in where the market is going. As long as the overall direction of the market is up, it will return consistent profits. It can also generate profits in down markets (that's when you build your Bitcoin holdings). It also maximizes return on market volatility. And the Bitcoin market is famously volatile. Most importantly, it is automatic. It removes the mistakes you might make due to overexuberance or panic.
It may be worth mentioning that I leave many open orders on both the buy side and the sell side. This has two benefits:
1) It ensures that quick market moves will not outrun my ability to enter new orders.
2) It reduces my trading costs.
To explain 2) further, exchanges charge a fee for trading - that's how they profit and are able to stay in business. Different exchanges have different pricing structures. Each exchange allocates fees to each side of the trade. This can be allocated to the buyer and seller roles, or it can be allocated to the maker and taker roles. I do this trading at an exchange that charges only the taker side of the deal. Limit orders (the type of orders I enter) are the 'maker' role, so there is no fee for this trade.
Of course, leaving open orders on the exchange requires you having value locked up on the exchange. Many exchanges 'have been hacked' (sometimes probably a synonym for 'owners ran away with everybody's money'), leaving their customers Bitcoin-less. This counterparty risk is something you need to be comfortable with.
Of all the exchanges available to Americans, I trust GDAX the most as far as counterparty risk. Further, their price structure is 'free to maker'. For these two reasons, GDAX is where I do this trading. YMMV.
Thank you! Very clear explanation, helpt a newbie friend with it.

Edit: to chime in on what infofront said, I have one goal now, having cashed out a lot already to buy Ducati's and other stuff, which is becoming financially independent. I wont sell anything anymore before reaching that goal.
Do I regret selling earlier? Even with the 20-20 hindsight, only slightly. I have been enjoying the stuff I bought thoroughly. The thought that I could've been a millionaire already only haunts me from time to time ;+D. I find comfort in the fact that I can't lose anymore, even if it goes to zero somehow.

So my banks just complained. Apparently churning too much money in and out of exchanges has them worried shitless that the taxman will complain. Might have to register as a business to keep trading at the current levels of volume. Not sure I wanna deal with that shit. Especially the part where I have to give up half the profit. Blah.

Two of em. One is closing the account (started it specifically to trade bitcoin, which they knew and agreed to - fuckers). The other just told us to knock it off with the big transfers.

The difference between Mt.Gox and Bitfinex is that, at that time, bitcoin had few use cases, and few exchanges, whereas now, is much more widespread, with lots of use cases and exchanges (there are even people using it to buy cars and houses).
So a Bitfinex scandal would not affect the price as much as Mt.Gox did.
Furthermore, a 500 million theft from a Japanese exchange last week curiously isn't even a talking point now. Are we just being ethno- and bitcoincentric or is this kind of shit just not so important anymore because of the larger ecosystem?

Sometimes I seriously wonder if people have some unconscious desire to be poor and mediocre. I just cannot fathom how somebody could wish to be more than they are without trying to work towards that goal with even the tiniest increments.
This bothers me a lot about people. I can't get why they are not willing to change up their lifestyle and mindset to reach the goals they desire. My theory on why so far, is that they are easier satisfied and they are happy enough with things staying like the way they are. Therefore don't feel the need to work on oneself. Some people just don't need much in life and are perfectly fine being mediocre. It's something that I sometimes I admire in people, the simplicity of being satisfied with less.
It's a matter of perspective. Some may find the persuit of riches a display of emptyness of the soul, and poor, in a spiritual way. Mediocre, so to speak.
My GF will never ever be rich. She works with the elderly in a nursing home. Pays shit and is totally brutal in all kinds of ways from time to time. On the other hand very rewarding too, the people she takes care of are often very grateful (when they're not flinging their own feces because they're so demented they think that is the only way to defend themselves from the strangers they find themselves surrounded with), and she knows she is really making a difference in the lives of those people.
I could never ever do that kind of work, respect her very much for it. Find it a lot harder to respect people who think they are better because they are richer.

Perhaps 2018 is bitcoin's 1994.
...By 1998 things had changed alot. Win 95/98 IE/Netscape made it much more useful and simple to use the internet and sites began to proliferate. I had dropped out to take a 35k job at a search engine optimization company (which seemed like alot at the time) that quickly went out of biz, but my connections from that job led to other connections that have kept me working for the 20 years since.
tldr; if it's 1994, buckle up, things will be unrecognizable in 4 years.
What would be our Netscape moment? Or AOL temporary dominance?
Is Lightning a.k.a Netscape (without the IPO) and is Coinbase/Binance/Bitfinex, perhaps, the AOL equivalent?
Or, would it be something else out of left field?
As Andreas Antonopoulos like to say, bitcoin is the internet of money. Currency is just the first app on the bitcoin blockchain.
That's our killer app (for now). Lightning network will refine this and give us such innovations as "streaming money". So, perhaps a LN based payments solution that changes the way we think about money will be our Netscape moment.
The Death of AOL will come when people realize bitcoin is more than just currency. Just as people realized the internet was more than their AOL walled garden. The BTC blockchain could replace 25% of our jobs within 5 years. IRS/tax authority fuckers, accountants, many attorneys, the secretary of state/DMV, registers of deeds, bankers, accounts payable/receivable people. Bitcoin will replace them all and then some.
Exactly. So many useful purposes, where thing can run so much more effeciently. For example here in NL, the city of Utrecht and the central government are experimenting with storing your identy on a blockchain, so you can easily prove who you are without sending a copy of your personal information (in NL it's a BSN, in the US that would be your social security number) or a copy of your ID. That would seriously reduce the risk of identity fraud. Another municipality is experimenting with transactions for people on wellfare using an app based on a blockchain. So much less administration and forms, people can just go to a store and get e.g. clothing for their children paying with an app.

All over human history being forcefully disarmed was a synonym of being a slave or a prisoner. Maybe "research" that.
Australia had all their guns confiscated 25 years ago. They haven’t had a mass shooting since. And they don’t look like slaves.
As we recently went over, jobs are slavery. Comrade.
Now I’m confused. Is going on food stamps to avoid slavery a good thing or a bad thing?
If you have to rely on others to survive, you are a slave. So, n/a. People on food stamps are already slaves.

It is known that there is a group of elites out there who have a vision for the world that involves massive depopulation. They are not all powerful or anything like some Illuminati myths would have you believe. They are one faction out of maybe four major power factions on the planet. Their leaders are mostly Jewish intellectuals and can be thought of loosely as the neo-liberal establishment. It is reasonably safe to assume that at least some within that clique would be willing to accomplish the depopulation they desire through cataclysm if necessary.
Ah yes, that seems much more plausible then "the most widely agreed-upon interpretation of the stones is that they describe the basic concepts required to rebuild a devastated civilization.[2] Author Brad Meltzer notes that the stones were built in 1979 at the height of the Cold War, and thus argues that they may have been intended as a message to the possible survivors of a nuclear World War III. The engraved suggestion to keep humanity's population below 500 million could have been made under the assumption that war had already reduced humanity below this number."
Funny how "it is known" that there is an unknown organisation. Of which you can make 'reasonable' assumptions.
Anyway, conifers are nice trees. Love to know what they have to do with bitcoin too.

How do people send bitcoin over email these days?
coinbase allows it. not sure how it works though but iirc the recipient gets the email with instructions on how to open an account there to claim them.
EDIT i thought in the past there were issues if the recipient either never claimed them (never signed up) or could not open a coinbase account due to location or some such. those coins did not return to the sender. this was a while ago so maybe things have changed since then?
[talking my book]
You can use the 'textcoin' feature of Byteball to send something via email (or whatsapp or whatever) if you want to send some crypto to someone. Also, the claim back feature works flawlessly.

Best place to ask about a BCH/electrum issue.
I just sent some BCH to shape shift as i have done before many times and my electrum wallet has been emptied. The outputs of the transaction show the ones going to the shapeshift wallet and the remainder going to an unknown address.
How is this possible
Please any advice as quick as possible would be appreciated.
Thanks
If anyone can help resolve it will not go unnoticed
Just check if the unknown address is just a change address inside your electrum wallet.

I can see it as a change address there but the balance has gone to 0
Is it just a matter of waiting then? This has never happened before
Do you have a transaction ID?

Is there really a country in this world where you can just cash out and nobody will even think of telling you to pay tax on your newfound wealth?
Here in NL you only pay tax on the amount you own, irrespective if it's in BTC or cash. You get taxed 1.2% over the value of all your belongings on the first of january of that year, so that's everything in cash, crypto, bank accounts minus all your debt* and minus 25k euro untaxed amount. Cashing out and trading are not taxable events.

That's a weird system. Kind of like inflation or a negative interest rate on all of your net worth.
It does work like that, but it's not unreasonable imho to tax accumulated riches.
But if you look at it differently, you get a 1.2% discount if you buy a Ducati from your stash.

Mind-boggling.
Yeah I think we all just see the writing on the wall, you're not getting away from the Government taking their share especially if it has value and we all agree Bitcoins going to long term go up. I mean you can buy things directly for btc but I think vendors include sales tax in most of it. (Newegg for example)
But the tax on just your holdings fuck that including cash, no thanks. Is that some socialism bullshit that's favored there?
Paying your taxes is not socialism, it's patriotism.
Anyway I much prefer the way the taxes work in NL, no taxes whatsoever on trading including 'cashing out' (should really be called cashing in btw), just a very reasonable taxation on holdings, excluding the first 25k and minus debts.

I usually roll my eyes when I hear "Taxation is theft", but this?
Them wanting to tax the cash in my wallet sounds crazy to me...
Yet you guys are talking about it like it's most normal and reasonable thing.
Mind-boggling.
Yeah I think we all just see the writing on the wall, you're not getting away from the Government taking their share especially if it has value and we all agree Bitcoins going to long term go up. I mean you can buy things directly for btc but I think vendors include sales tax in most of it. (Newegg for example)
But the tax on just your holdings fuck that including cash, no thanks. Is that some socialism bullshit that's favored there?
Paying your taxes is not socialism, it's patriotism.
Anyway I much prefer the way the taxes work in NL, no taxes whatsoever on trading including 'cashing out' (should really be called cashing in btw), just a very reasonable taxation on holdings, excluding the first 25k and minus debts. Most of the world is much worse off having all these taxable events like trading. They must all be socialist countries then I guess.
From my understanding you're taxed on anything in your account over 2.5k each year. So you get taxed multiple times if you keep that money there over multiple years. Doesn't seem like patriotism to me seems like a backwards economic system that wants to inhibit the success and growth of ones on economic independence.
Don't worry give us 1.5% of all of your liquid money every year it's patriotism.
I'm assuming you have plenty of other taxes as well?
You're correct that you get taxed every year, as is customary in most of the world.
You get taxed 1.2% not 1.5% over anything over 25k not 2.5k, minus debts.
Our economic system is not backwards, look up the numbers. Taxing stale money does not inhibit success. Seems like taxing actual success (profit in trading) is more akin to taxing success.
I'd gladly give you a percentage of my wealth if you build the roads I drive my motorcycle on, build the school that my daughter goes to, and there is a system in place whereby I can check and judge your performance, together with my compatriots.

Submitting to organized armed thugs is patriotism... got it.
Waitaminute... that ain't patriotism, it's subservience.
You wanna be a patriot, how 'bout you send in a check for ten times what 'the law' says you owe. Actually, that ain't patriotism either. For it will not be going to your nation, but rather to your government. Which is not the same thing.
It is the government that builds and maintains the stuff your nation needs to function. if they fail, select someone else.
Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely fine with people not wanting to 'subserve' to anything, I just don't like it when people do want to use hospitals, roads, the fire department etc etc and still don't want to pay taxes.
Your tax form is not a voting ballot. Those are two very different things.

Isn't that already paid for from the Netherlands 51.95% tax rate on anything over 65,000 that's fucking wild right there with that tax rate. On top of that they take 1.2% of your money over $25k and assets(?) What if your savings for a house, retirement or who knows, you just have to fight an uphill battle. I think thise tax rates pay plenty for your roads and schools I know my tax rate of 22% I pay on the same income amount pays for ours.
The tax rate on the top bracket used to be much higher, as in 85%. 'Wild' depends on your frame of reference. I think owning 10 houses and 20 cars is wild. 8 houses and 15 cars should be enough for any one person. Tax everything above that 100% I say.
In general the rate of taxation is kinda high on the income part here, kinda low on what most people here enjoy doing, trading (0%). Other countries just chose to tax trading to pay the schools and roads. You decide what's better.

To be fair, he is living under a much more benign government than us.
It pains me to admit it, as I am fully aware that it runs against my core anarchist beliefs, but if I am really honest with myself much of my life is defined by the yearning for a jurisdiction to which I can peaceably submit.
I do not think such a jurisdiction currently exists. I am by temperament a mechanic and farmer, not an insurgent. I do feel that much of my life potential has been stolen from me by the political matrix into which I was born.
Good point. scale might play an impprtant role. My country is much smaller. I actually said hi to our prime minister when bumping into him when hiking. The smaller scale makes everything much more personal, and more easily manageable with less bureaucracy.
All greys though, still to much bureaucracy....

Beautiful bike! It looks like a really nice day where you are too! Yesterday it was below °C in the morning and so windy that it tore my wife's shopping list from her grasp as we headed for the store and it was gone - I tried to catch it but I swear Usain Bolt himself wouldn't have stood a chance. Now usually I don't like blustery days but I thanked that wind with all my heart because it saved me hundreds of dollars. I've never seen my wife so quiet and subdued during a shopping expedition. I almost felt bad for her but deep down I knew she was being quiet because she was concentrating on crafting her next shopping list; probably bigger and better than the one she lost to mother nature - one shopping list to rule them all!
Hahaha great story! GL with the next shopping list....
And great find on the cookies. No sMerits to give out unfortunately.

I’ve been wondering for a long time why adamstgBit wasn’t the OP anymore. adamstgBit started the original form of this thread “MtGox Wall Observer” just a few days before I came here as my first incarnation (CornedBeefHash).
So, does anybody know why adamstgBit left?
Let me guess, he pulled a DeathandTaxes, MnW or cypherdoc type scam and left? That’s usually how the old guard chooses to leave.
I recall a lively debate about blocksize, accusations of censorship, and him leaving for the bitco.in forum. I miss his drunken rants.
Edit: what gentlemand said, in a more poetic way then me.
BTW there's still a WO-thread there, WITH chartbuddy (love him or hate him) and a thread with the same title as another epically long thread here, Gold collapsing, Bitcoin UP

Exactly this. Racism is a tool to get us infighting. BTC is here for all of us to help us do our own thing and to help us organize. The powers that be fear this and try to get us infighting. The sock puppets are just tools for this purpose. Some other people are just duped by this insane idea of identity politics.

He just fundamentally does not "get it", beyond a certain level.

i play for the coins .... my way for accumulation long term, and till now my fastest way as well, if any of my friends would sell for cash i buy instantly, as my good friend has sent FIAT as well to exchanges to BUY....
my last session of little more as a month ago was a sizeable amount that i did won so increased my stash right there....
this last two weeks i didn't buy any FIAT into
BTCbut i'm looking to buy some between now and lower as well cause prices are just becoming a to big of opportunity.
also know i can play with people for fiat (poker) but just always playing for
BTC cause it has been my best way to accumulate and as long that i'm doing good i will keep doing this as my main way to increase, also what i have on the cold storage is not leaving anymore, so if i would lose on this low prices, then i would absolute transfer FIAT to buy cheap
BTC's and pay them out....
will be looking to transfer FIAT as well cause not many that i know are selling now for cash.....
Good busy.
I'm waiting for fiat to buy more, should be before the end of the month.
Also daytrading some alts on order to accumulate more.
Really necessary, because I sold a great part of my stash to buy the Ducati and lost a lot on a long during this crash, no longer a member of the 21-club, by far. Will take a lot to get to be a member again.

Interesting... for some reason I assumed that when you bought that BEAUTIFUL Ducatti you did with a minor instead of a major part of your stash.
About a third for the Duc, but I also payed off my debts and replaced all electronics; TV , amp, computer, laptop etc.
In hindsight I should've waited of course, but having made so much from so little in so little time I thought it was time for major profit taking, at the time.
Had about half left but lost a lot on that long this summer but also on a particular altcoin (that I still find very interesting, technically).

What if they used the time, then figured out the solutions and then realized every one of those solutions would get them killed so decided to just sit back and complain until someone else finds a better solution that doesn't get them killed?

I dated a girl for a number of years.
Her father was wealthy and powerful. He owned 25+ houses that he rented out. He was also a drunk and highly abusive.
The mother eventually divorced him after a series of domestic violence incidents. The father decided to make the mother's life a living hell. He hired lawyers to sue the mother for everything under the sun, stalked the mother and tried to destroy her friendship networks. This went on for five years.
The mother grew deeply depressed and semi suicidal. My girlfriend and her sister at the age of 8 had to get the mother out of bed in the morning, get her dressed so the mother could drive them to school. Some days they couldn't get their mother out of bed so they missed school.
My girlfriend was incredibly smart and motivated but she missed a lot of school during that five year period. It affected her grades and she had to work hard to try to catch up. She also had the mental load of trying to parent her own mother through the divorce and aftermath. There is no doubt in my mind if she had had a normal, stable childhood, she would have been a surgeon or rocket scientist. Instead she will likely never achieve her full potential.
Let's not kid ourselves that everyone has equality of opportunity. Because they don't.
Relevance of anecdote?
Sounds to me as if you are claiming that, seeing as we all have access to different opportunities, it isn't even worth
trying to improve your circumstance.
I call bullshit on that. Everyone has the same opportunity to endeavor to improve their situation.
You're an intelligent guy but now you are deliberately misunderstanding. It's obvious the point was quite opposite of 'not worth trying' as the girl in this story "worked hard to catch up".
What really is BS is stating that everyone has the same opportunity to endeavour to improve their situation. In order to do that you'll need, well, opportunity. If you're totally tied up in whatever circumstances you might not have that. This idea that anyone can just 'break free' at any time from any circumstances is just plain naive frankly.

you had 50 btc but gambled it away buying shitcoins? and you still want to keep the shitcoins? imho hodl refers to bitcoin, not to shitcoins.
Actually, no, I "earned" 50 BTC worth of shitcoins (well, I don't consider them shitcoins, but whatever) ... my mistake was not cashing them out to BTC when I had the chance, and in hindsight, cashing out those BTC to fiat (maybe some, not all) so that I can live comfortably for a couple years, and then find a normie job without worrying about the future. (50 BTC was $1m USD back in Jan 2018? Something like that.)
And continue to earn or hodl everything.
But hey, no one's perfect. Either learn from your mistakes, or learn from other's mistakes. Still think they were pretty good bets.
A bitcoin would help so much, I'm not going homeless, and I've got a family to keep warm.
Thanks for sharing.
In the end, you win some you lose some in this game.
I won a lot and lost a lot. I cashed out a lot when BTC was 1100$ and bought a (now the most expensive in the world) Ducati. Even tho that could have been a Ducati AND a Lambo I still don't regret that decision.
I sold 1200 ETH which I got by mining form the very start and by daytrading at a good profit. But in hindsight....
I had a nice Dash masternode purring. Sold it for a good profit, but in hindsight....
I had 98.5 BTC at my top. Now I only have a fraction
What I learned was:
- Take some profit now and then and enjoy that. That can never be taken away.
- Be patient
- Don't trade when there are emotions involved
So, some valuable lessons, a great adventure, and some nice spoils of war. Not what it could've been but I'm very happy.
This year I'm saving and trying to rebuild a decent stash of BTC as much as that is possible. Having more then one whole BTC is a win in my book already.

I’m going to say this once and be done with it.
I don’t have r0ach on ignore because I want to know how the enemy of BTC thinks.
EITHER, r0ach is literally living in a basement and never mingles with regular people, has never gone abroad, was raised without a mother (or by a sociopathic one), has never had a girlfriend and does not have a job. But does have some precious metals, is intelligent enough to use proper English, and also has a lot of time to spare. In short, a deranged masochistic loner, addicted to being pissed on by guys who actually got out into the world and did something with their lives.
OR, he is just a (paid) shill for The Man. The Man, who does not want us to be free. The Man, who rules by divide and conquer. The Man, who dreads us becoming so powerful, by cooperating, by organizing, by doing business with each other directly, that we might actually remove them from power. The Man, who wants to keep us addicted to the shit the powers that be are selling, like oil and medicines we might need because of our bad diets and all of the pollution.
Now who would spend so much of their time on a BTC forum.
Almost every post is about how we should see mankind divided in competing subspecies. Men and women. Different cultures. Different races. It’s just history repeating, The Man trying to divide and conquer.

It does not cost to be optimistic at-least a steady price over $4k would be nice for short term 🙂
Price can't be steady! The problem is not bitcoin. The problem is what you use to measure bitcoin price - the US$. This giant ponzi scheme can't be steady! US$ base is crumbling in front of our eyes. It is in slow motion yet and very few people can see it.

Debt is a large part of the problem with the modern economy.
Agreed...
Maybe it's time to rethink if it should even be legal to make money simply by lending it on an industrial scale.
Criminalize voluntary behavior? I don't think so.
Especially when it is fabricated out of thin air.
I think you finally arrived at what the problem is. When banks lend money (at least here in the US), the overwhelming majority of that money is zapped into existence by the mere act of writing the loan. And the bank gets to later collect not only the interest, but indeed the principal thusly created. Which, while being an advantage to the bank conferred by law, would not be immoral in and of itself. The immorality is due to the fact that the writing of a loan does not create wealth (products, services, materials, etc) at the same time that it creates money. Accordingly, more money ends up sloshing around the system chasing the same amount of tangible wealth. Which devalues all money extant previous the loan. The purchasing power of the money loaned into existence is thusly stolen from the purchasing power of the money that existed before the loan was written. This is a very real theft of purchasing power from the people at large. And is the true evil of the partial reserve banking system, as encoded into law.
Absolutely totally true. Merited for truth.
Funny thing is that it can also work to your advantage. I pay less then inflation for my mortgage. Also hardly any costs for energy because of solar panels and system that pumps up warm water (which conversely cools my house in the summer). Basically living for free, I only have to pay insurance and maintenance.
And about rethinking if lending (on an industrial scale) should be legal, at least there's one thing that Ibian and Islamic scholarship agree on. Always good if people find common ground!

Does the wealth tax apply to your primary residence?
No ,however you do pay a seperate small tax on the worth of your residence. This is usually greatly offset by the fact that you can deduct the interest you pay on you mortgage off of the income you have to pay tax over, so in practice you get about 50% back on the interest you pay to the bank.

Tax deductible mortgage payments on your primary residence is a pretty big deal.
I don’t agree with it personally because it just drives up property prices and a house is not an income producing asset. So it is a huge tax expenditure for no real gain for the economy.
It’s a good way to increase your net worth though if you own a big house when the rule change goes through or specialize in renovations.
Totally agree.
For me personally it's great, it brings down the cost of my mortgage to the rate of inflation, making this loan basically free. I got lucky with my house, bought it when prices were still reasonable but interest was low. But house prices are skyrocketing because of this (not as fast as BTC but still) so many people are facing problems trying to get a house. It has the effect that only people or companies with a lot of cash to spare can buy houses, and then rent them out at extremely high prices, see this happening all the time.
Pretty good way for a government to shovel money into the banks..
Only partly. The deduction benefits the person with the mortgage, not the bank. Also the interest rates in NL are not higher then elsewhere in NW Europe. However it does have an inflationary effect on the value of houses as Hairy pointed out, so the mortgages are also going to be bigger.

Fuckery synonym;
Afgang ---> failure.
Rotzooi ---> garbage.
sounds more like 'fucked-ness' or uselessness
fuckery is ~=shenanigans or devilry but ruder obviously
edit: i see the internet dictionaries have both meanings active/passive. meh, fuck 'em
fuckery = manipulation to me
If fuckery means manipulation to you, then you can use the finest of Dutch curse words, the ones that reference diseases. In this case, when something is thoroughly manipulated, you can refer to that as one big "kankerzooi", or, if you do not want to hurt the feeling of those around you who may have had to deal with cancer, as a big "teringzooi".

I really hope the major didn't really sell all of his stash at $4K-
The other day I stumbled upon one of the last posts of bones261 in another thread. It seems that he sold. Not that he had a huge stash, but still.
I wonder how many other good people we will be losing along this bumpy journey. Will never understand why people go ALL-OUT. Why not hodl even a little stash just in case... even if you lost faith?
When I see the first pages of this very same thread I see a lot of nicks that are no longer here. It is easy to notice because there are almost no hats. IIRC jojo is the first one that appears. I have always though that most of them already reached their targets and are now too busy spending their fortune while still hodling a good chunk of BTC... Maybe reality is much uglier than that.
HODL.
Thinking about going all out is so 2015. (especially when it is down 50%+ from its ATH) That was the year I was afraid of bitcoin crashing to zero and I had no coins at that time. I was all out.
After I witnessed the pump in 2017, I realized that bitcoin cannot go to zero even if it wanted to. (What...You thought bitcoin wasn't a living organism?)
People just won't let it happen. (It is certainly not dying.)
I totally agree. I went almost all out in 2015 when I bought my Ducati for 30 BTC.
Now, not so much. on thursday I actually have an appointment with the bank to discuss "selling my house for bitcoin". That is, taking out a second mortgage on the huge surplus value of my house, reorganising my debts and then hopefully ending up with a sizeable amount to increase my stash. I mean, the money is free man, 1.55% is less then inflation....

Exactly! It's just batshit crazy! The very reason my house is worth almost twice it was 6 years ago is this crazy low interest rates! They just keep on pumping and pumping money! I just can'd understand how this is not reflected in the (official) rate of inflation. If anyone has a link to an economist who can explain this I'd be much obliged.

To each his own. If your goal was getting a Ducati, you have reached it, and that's that. The thought of riding a $300k motorbike can be upsetting though... Eyes on the road, ride safely!
I don't care (never really cared) about Lambos and other pointless luxuries (OK, maybe a Tesla). BTC gives (will give) me the freedom to quit my job early, to pursue a hobby, to travel, to live life without having to depend on a salary, to be free, whatever "free" means to each of us. No point in spending it now on stuff I don't really need. Merely owning it is enough for me, for now. Enjoying it immensely!
Even if it collapses (which it won't), I'm good. I'll survive.
Edit: I bought my Trezor for around 0.13 BTC. Not cheap!
Yeah, getting the Ducati was a very important goal, and I certainly do not regret getting it. I feel like a rockstar every second I ride it. Certainly worth $300k.
I also bought basically every other material thing I needed, mostly computers and electronics. But now, my goal is almost exactly the same as yours; work less. I like my work a lot, but 38 hours / week until I'm 67 leaves too little time for other activities. My plan is to get enough btc to be able to work 32 hours, take more hollidays and to quit working at say age 60.

FWIW, I support your decision, although it may sound risky. When I got into Bitcoin in 2015, I bought 0.5 BTC for a meager 100 €. I had a large sum of fiat available at the time, but I chickened out, and only used 100 €. Over the course of the following 3 years, I gradually (unnecessarily gradually) used said large sum of fiat to buy the remaining of my coin stash. Had I used the entire said large sum of fiat in 2015, I would now be owning 10x more coins than I currently own.
Lesson #1: Best time to buy BTC is
NOW.
Lesson #2: Buy as much as you can afford to lose (but not less).
Of course, you must be prepared to endure some potential setbacks (e.g., bear market of 2018), but even then, you'll be in great shape in t+3 years.
Not using my BTC buying potential in 2015 was the biggest mistake I've made in my life.

Is this the Corona observer thread now??
So much panic, misinformation and paranoia, the levels have actually gone up compared to the time we were still observing walls.

Might be a good time to start shorting TSLA
Wonder if anybody who has benefited from their pumps will convert into bitcoin
It has surged and even novogratz noticed its bull run like when
BTC had its own last time.
Irwin says it due to FOMO and not the technology. Hope he isnt right about that cause this would mean the same about the cryptocurrency market.

Hehe I saw a guessing game on Dutch TV (RTL-Z) today, they showed the graph of the Tesla stock value with the name blurred out, and asked, "is this the value of Apple or Bitcoin? No, it's Tesla stock!"

Cryptoasset Requirements Set for Release by Treasuryhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-02-12/cryptoasset-rules-set-for-release-by-trump-administrationThe Trump administration soon will announce new requirements for cryptoassets, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said.
Mnuchin told a Senate Finance Committee hearing on Wednesday that the department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is preparing the announcement.
“We are about to roll out some significant new requirements,” he said without elaborating.
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network works to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing and other financial crimes.

Well, it took some time but finally the money from my 'debt restructuring' plan I made about a month ago came in. I actually stuck to the plan I had made a month ago and bought at whatever price BTC had at that moment. And for the very first time ever, the price didn't immediately tank after I bought! I think I broke the spell!

O.k. Great... Could have been better, but could have been worse, too.
At least, you have a little bit of a cushion, and in the long run, those are much better prices than the $8k-$10k-ish territories from a couple of weeks ago.
Hopefully, in one or two years, you can pay off the whole loan.. to the extent that you want or feel that paying off all or part of the loan would be in your interest... Sometimes, if there is merely an appreciation of value in your investment (here, bitcoin), there might not necessarily be any rush to reduce your loan debt, unless you feel that you can catch some of your cashing out of bitcoin during a sufficiently valid exponential price rise.
I would imagine that you have given some thought to some of these kinds of scenarios in order to make an outline of a tentative plan. You have probably realized that I personally do not like to play these kinds of situations with all or nothing kinds of tactics so, I would be considering incremental ways to cash out some BTC in part at various points up the price line if I felt that it might be good to reduce that debt while taking some profits from BTC, too.... but if the loan is manageable or becomes somewhat manageable with the passage of time, then sometimes you still might find it prudent to let the debt ride and just pay it off over a longer period of time while NOT having to cash out too much of your BTC stash at a possibly less good timing.
Yes.

Afternoon all
New 2 BTC and investing in general - wanting to take advantage of the new world I entered at a very small 0.2 BTC @ 5.7k. Have plenty of funds and considering buying 1 - 2 whole btc as I'm gathering confidence that it'll return to 10k+
Discuss and help a newb out.
The discussion is in the previous 527909 posts. To summarize: buy now and HODL.

Second day of less deaths and first day of less new infections here in The Netherlands. Hope we keep this up. We have no lock down yet, and going out on the motorcycle is truly amazing right now, hardly any traffic and hardly any cops. Will treasure this memory forever.

Welp, it's over. The Japanification of the U.S. is now underway...

The Fed also will be moving for the first time into corporate bonds, purchasing the investment-grade securities in primary and secondary markets and through exchange-traded funds. The move comes in a space that has seen considerable turmoil since the crisis has intensified and market liquidity has been sapped."
“Fed policy is shifting into a higher gear to try to help support the economy which looks like it is in freefall at the moment,” wrote Chris Rupkey, chief finacial economist at MUFG Union Bank. “
The central bank is shifting from being not just the lender of last resort, but now it is the buyer of last resort. Don’t ask how much they will buy, this is truly QE infinity.”
Great way to help the rich, just buy their stocks for a good price, and support the stock prices! Surely money well spent. I'm sure it will trickle down to the real economy one day.
Edit, one thing tho , this kind of QE has proved to not do much for inflation. Most probably because the money does not trickle down to the real economy...

I see a lot of fear here about incorrect data about Corona. I like how the Dutch CDC (called the RIVM) does things. Daily update including all the numbers and the explanation of those numbers. See
https://www.rivm.nl/sites/default/files/2020-03/Epidemiologische%20situatie%20COVID-19%2026%20maart%202020.pdf for today's numbers. Seems in NL, thing are getting under control with the 'intelligent lockdown' measures.
