Amazing how high we've gotten in the last few months... I go to make lunch, and we went up 50USD+. Looks like it's starting to slow down, but I expect we'll stop near 800. Lol I guess you guys were right. Dat pump ain't stopping

Oh look. It's a new 2-year high.
If we're lucky, we might reach an all time high in the next few months, but not now. If it ends at 820 I wouldn't be surprised... sold 1/8 of my coldwallet. 2safe5me, but looks like my holding paid off.
No 777 memes? Bring it.

Lul, funny to see that Finex has so many problems right now. I'm seeing normal prices on all the other exchanges. I forsee a dump at 900$ when we get there, pushing us to 750 again. Nothing bad happened yet, so I'm assuming we're safe... for now.

Nice to see a little bump in the price- been waiting for this for a month now. Let's see how far it goes, and if it'll hold... I'm pretty optimistic, if it holds where it is and doesn't go any lower, we've got some good times ahead. 700 wouldn't be too out of the picture, although I think something around 650 is more realistic. I could be wrong though

lol and always those 200 walls on bitstamp. we are seeing them now since weeks, once one 200 stack is being bought he refills and sets the next 200 wall.
sometimes i wonder if those hacked finex coins are eventually being sold step by step on other exchanges.
That's exactly what I'm thinking right now, not a bad idea to sell without much attention. It's not holding us back too much, but we'd probably be at a higher price without all of these 200 walls everywhere.
I feel a 65-35 chance of breaking the 600 cap we've been at for so long, we could just go back to the high 500s though. I choose to be optimistic

Well, we didn't break 750 for very long and we fell back because of that. Not too terrible, bad place to buy imo but we should be right back up to where we were in a week or less. We're still higher than we were a month and even 2 weeks ago, so that's a start. Dropping below 700 is pretty unlikely imo, but it could happen still.

I didn't expect $800 to be so hard to reach after the recent pump. Whenever we saw it close there was a retreat: it will come, we all know. Maybe Christmas could be a nice trigger for a new spike up. It's getting closer.
Remember one thing: there will never be enough single BTC for everybody. Buy yours before is late
Personally I wouldn't buy right now, but hey whatever floats your boat. I think we'll hit 800 for real this time before dropping a bit more back down to the upper 700s. I've made a few bucks these past few weeks buying on small dumps.

Next few hours will be critical for the price going up or down, so far it's looking good but the situation could change quickly. Been holding since 800 USD so not much of a loss for me either way. It's either back to around 1100 or back down to the mid 900s or lower.

Hey guys, do you have an idea if the price will go down again ?
Because I would like to buy 1800€ for my saving, would like to buy at the right moment you know...
Nobody knows. Chances are we've reached the bottom of the drop, but then again we could still go further down to the mid or lower 800s. I would say buy a little now and see what happens later, uncertain times.

Anybody starting to feel a little nervous, uneasy?
I'm not on about the recent dump. I'm hoping we don't see a ridiculous dump as a result of a rejected ETF. I'm HODLING strong but I hope we don't get bad news in the next few days.
It won't be so bad even if the ETF is rejected, 1000 will be the lowest we'll likely go and even then we'll recover as people buy up cheap coins. HODL life induces nervousness but you just have to remember to keep HODLing
Just don't think too much about it, drink a cup of coffee and do something else and let the news roll in by itself.

Not yet, although it might have already been approved wth all of this up and down. Could be insider trading or pump and dump, nobody knows. Either way news will be out soon.

I dont think that anything has been confirmed yet, right?
This is insider knowledge, perhaps?
Nope, it has been confirmed so price is dropping like a stone. All HODLers hold on, this is just part of the ride
you'll be rewarded for being in rides like this.

If the price battle bounces around 1100 and finishes the day anywhere near that I think that is a massive positive
Price was being massively inflated anyways, that was bound to end soon. People forecasting 700-800 are being overly dramatic, it isn't the end of the world and we've had worse price crashes before. At the end of the day a HODLer like me isn't too worried about this, the fact that we even hit an ATH is nice.

Price tested the original uptrend (oct 2016) and sub 1000$ support and rebounced pretty fast. If it does not go down until tomorrow, it is very possible bitcoin will recovery itself steadily and continue its cycle. The ETF was going to make us rich in few days if approved but it was not to fuck it entirely because a denial. Bitcoin is stronger than that.
Chances are some people didn't unload all of their BTC before the dump happened, if so we could be dropping right down again in a few hours. Not as bad as people were expecting but it's still unclear what's going to happen in the next few hours.

Feels like a big disconnect between trader's "sentiment" and the external market here to me.
I think traders got overly focused (obsessed even) with the wtf ETF because it was 'their thing', Wall St., big bucks, yada yada yada, etc BS. So price has been dominated by trader's sentiment towards ETF thinking since at least mid December .... meanwhile the physical market on the street in India, Japan, China, Asia, Brazil, S. America, UK Europe, USA, etc has been picking up some serious exponential growth steam, look at wallet adoption numbers, s/ware downloads, localbitcoins.com.
Just saying you guys might be missing the woods for the trees. Try not to get run over by the bitcoin moon train when scalping your trading card pennies up off the track ...
the question now is, can the market support these prices without this "ETF coming Soon
TM" bullishness.
i'm betting that it can't, and we in for a sizeable drop, probably Below 1000$.. i'm looking forward to a more reasonable 950
Well the worst is likely over, the big selloff was the bulk of it but there might be smaller dips later here and there. I'm betting we'll drop right back down again to 1000 once we poke around 1250 if we even get there or even lower.

Luckily the enormous amounts of FUD we get every now and then seems to have less and less effect on the price.
For now I stick to my belief that every bitcoin under 1200 is a cheap coin. Have a good one Jimbo!
The next real barrier is £2000 now all the old ATHs are broken. We should break $2000 sooner or later this year. Anyone buying under $1200 will have almost doubled their money by then, and will be wishing he'd bought more when they were cheap.
That's exactly what happened with me last year when I bought at 300- 4x profit all from holding, and I haven't even sold off half of my Bitcoin since then yet. HODLers just keep your seatbelts on and watch everything happen
Both chains will be dumped on like other members above me have said with BU and BTC, interesting to see what'll happen.

we'll be back over 1000$ in no time.
Yep! 1k incoming,,,, maybe people are giving up the debate or just willing to get back to normal and let the chips fall where they may with BU... who knows lol
Especially now that the coins are all out of the weak-handed guys and people that fell for FUD and panicked about the drop and BTU we'll face pretty low resistance up to 1000 and beyond (hopefully). Been a long downward trend recently but looks like that will now be reversed. Still HODLing as usual

With this climate it could be a dead cat bounce indeed.
Than again, those tokens finex made may have turned the tables on value? lol idk, but I'm getting fomo heh
Approaching $1050 now, if this is a dead cat I suspect now is the time to dump
Update: already $1050+ on some exchanges heh
With price so low yesterday the continuing rise in price could trigger some dumping, could be dead cat. Majority of bears are gone now, hopefully we won't get a huge red candle or another slow drop. Glad we're back at 4 digits now that the guys who fell for FUD and such have sold off.

To get 2/3 or 3/4 of the hashrate isn't THAT easy. At least i think so.
Problem is we don't know how much hashrate Jihan even has at this point. If we're unlucky, he could just unleash his full force and we could be at 2/3 pretty quickly, however unlikely that scenario is. Keep in mind most of the world gets their bitcoin miners from Bitmain, although Avalon is a nice alternative.

We are crawling up again. Go BTC go
Likely another dead cat bounce on the way down. There's weak support reforming at 900 but another dump like the earlier ones and we're plunging back down to 800. I highly suggest holding if you bought at 1200 (should have sold a little there), despite the downward trend right now.

The future of Bitcoin is bright either way, BUcoin HF or not. I'm using every possibility to increase my Bitcoin stash, the cheaper the better!
Can't say this enough. The chances of a fork in either direction are relatively low, but once we get past this issue price will rise back up, no matter how slowly or quickly. I wouldn't go all out on buying just yet to see if we've hit bottom yet, but buying soon would be a good idea; this trend is not going to be long-term because of the root of the issue.

The whole BTC 'crash' is fake and is organized by bitcoin
'Jesus' 'Judas' himself. Today thousands of BTC were dumped with no reason at all exchanges simultaneously. A classic example: BTC rose to 980 USD on Polo and Bitfinex. Sell bids like 100-ish BTC and more were eaten easily. And then... 200 BTC dump on Polo Buy Book and 200 BTC dump on Bitfinex as low as 950 USD! This is the dirty war of this 'Jesus' against Core team. These people lost their minds thinking with 300K BTC can do whatever they want. Not gonna happen, losers!
We got a dump of 53BTC at 966 just now on Finex so I partially agree with you, but it could all just be a coincidence. Not a BTU supporter at all but I just hope we can get this shit over with and have our good ol' Bitcoin back. Could very well be Core opponents dumping but it seems unlikely to me at this point.

Alts are flat today
At least the freefall stopped on BTC, that's encouraging. What's weird "from what I see" BU hash is down yet blocks found by BU are gaining
Its above my pay grade to figure out lol
Shitty alts are flat....
http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/unobtanium/the rarest & fairest of them all is slightly less than flat - but dont tell everyone, or theyll be in here trying to fork it to death
overpriced alts eventually gonna be converted back to cheap bitcoin. endless cycle
Since bitcoin is coming back up from $935 all the way back up to $967 it is looking like top alt coins are losing value because of it now.
The price of ethereum is slinking back slowly from $55 to $52 again where it was late last night and even the highly decorated dash is sliding back under $100 again to $97.
The war of the alts vs btc continues.
Just the natural Altcoin cycle as the pumping stops and the dumping begins as Bitcoin begins to regain some land. We're still seeing resistance at the 960s but support is keeping it there. Next few hours are critical. Bad for my small Dash mining rig but Bitcoin is much more important to me

Looks like the beartrent is finally broken? Lest go up while all the reasons why we go down still exist. I really have no idea where this is going to end up. Go BTC go!
Yep, still quite random now but in just hanging on for now. I don't expect too much in terms of a price rise as there's no reasons for the price to rise now but we could be surprised. Anything is appreciated in these times

Drop? Didn't notice a thing when I got on the forum, checked price and it was higher than it was this morning. I just don't know why people are all scared and panicked for such small drops- the trend is still slightly bullish, no need to worry. Alts are going through a P+D, don't know about you, but I don't see any major retailers like Newegg or even vendors here accepting Litecoin or Ethereum.

shorting some alts might be a good idea...
That's always been a good idea ever since alts were created
during this period of unrest, I've held in bitcoin and I have never divested it into anything else and I've come out fine despite the shills shouting doom is near.

I don't have a sodding clue what's going to happen. It feels a little like we've entered an alternate dimension where sense has tailed off into irrelevancy.
Especially if you try to make sense of it all with fancy trader lines and patterns it'll give you a headache
price is in an odd spot now, unsure if it'll go up or down. I'd prefer the first one though. I'm quite surprised in the midst of all of this we are still stable in terms of price.

after a thorough fourier time series analysis and markov chain monte carlo simulation, I conclude that we will go up mostly (maybe a little down sometimes)
Bitcoin's proven to outwit even the smartest traders and simulations, so you could either be completely right or completely wrong. Glad this time the growth is organic and not forced like during 2013, I reckon when the altcoins start being dumped and the money flows into BTC we'll be at 1500 and beyond in a hurry.

Wide scale dumping isn't happening yet, we've still gained today so far so not too bad. Ten percent in this little time is great either way. Not a bad day at all, looking to see where we'll end up long term.

No real reason to dump
things are healthy atm
Even if price were to dump I'm not losing much either way since I bought up when prices were around 600. Resistance is a little bit higher now but it's to be expected in this kind of a price rise. Price seems to be going up a little again so we'll see how this day ends.

First minute drops happen, panic ensues, "rip we're going back to 1000 boys!!" few minutes later back to around 1550. Funny how fast the mood changes in this thread.
On the other hand, always good to see a dip short term as we all knew we weren't getting any higher scot-free.

Interesting to note that altcoins are slowly going up in the green again. Nothing too big, if anything we could just rebound upwards a little bit and stay at around 1500. It's a shame price is still too high for me to justify buying but if it goes down further that could be a good idea.

Next week new highs? So far it's holding strong.
Until now it is doing exactly what it should be doing to continue rising next week: Small but significant correction, half recovery and consolidation. Not sure if there will be another test of $1500 before monday... In fact it would be slightly better if it does.
The biggest pump will come when people realise that altcoins can not go on pumping indefinitely and a good chunk of market share returns to BTC. That has not hapenned yet.
Unfortunately. Who knows, maybe that'll happen next week if we go upwards again. I don't enjoy being where we are in terms of this small rise, but it's necessary to go back up. Once those altcoins are sold back to BTC we'll see an enormous bump in price bigger than any we've seen recently.

I find it quite amazing btc holds 55% dominance over other crypto currencies and is at $1500+.
I remember not so long ago it was 86% and a far lower price.
Madness.
Bitcoin dominance has been lowered due to a few reasons like the transactions taking so much time and also due to blocksize debate, people are searching for other alternatives and going towards other stable currencies like ethereum.
This is the year of altcoins like ethereum and monero.
Stable? Ethereum's hardly that, once those coins stop being pumped into ridiculous price ranges and people start rebuying bitcoin we'll see price on bitcoin rise up again. That can't happen without SOME resolution to the scaling debate, though.

$2500 is possible next month. By the end of the year $10,000 is possible!
More and more people find out that selling bitcoin at next ATH and wait for correction to buy back is very stupid. Soon nobody will sell at whatever price and then price will go parabolic.
I haven't even spent large amounts of money since I bought at 600 and I don't plan on doing so unless an emergency arises or I really need it. If anything the rise is inevitable and anybody who says otherwise is likely an Altcoiner who's crying over selling their coins when they were cheaper. A fact not many know is that up to this month, anybody who has ever bought BTC and held has made profit, no matter at what price, assuming they have not sold. HODL ON!

Also, if you have 12BTC on a software wallet my advice inmediately changes to: Buy a hardware wallet NOW!
What's wrong with a software wallet? Mine is password protected, stored in a veracrypt volume, which is stored on my encrypted /home partition, and included in several backups stored in different air-gaped locations and only ever connected one at a time. (and most importantly, I'm not running a toy operating system.)
Well, you are describing it perfectly. I can have better security with my hardware wallet without needing any special security measures. I could even use it on "public" computer.
I say "better security" because no matter how many layers of encryption you may be using... at some time you would need your computer to access the wallet in "plaintext" to sign the transactions and that opens an attack vector.
It's much better to have the signing be done inside a specialized hardware....
Plus it is amazingly more convenient to use.
I have been saying this same thing for four years, but I would take it a step further. Easiest and best way to secure your Bitcoin is printing your address and putting two copies in different safe deposit boxes. Then return 10 years later a millionaire.
Software wallets for even moderately competent tech people are complete jokes: passwords, veracrypt?, home partition encrypted, multiple backups, air gapped storage, military grade cement vaults, across continents, different governing body, multi sig, documented access protocol, protocol encrypted, protocol stored in multiple backup locations......OMFG
But what if both of those printed wallets happen to burn or become illegible and it's all gone? Nothing's perfect, we just all try to make it as good as possible. I keep my bitcoin on an old phone with nothing else installed on it that is only connected to WiFi when I make transactions. Works for me just fine, no thievery or anything big and I've had coins since around 2014.

Another fine good morning Bitcoinland. I see the controlled uptrend continues.
Despite two fairly decent corrections, one $50 and the other $60, we still managed to rise over $40 since I went to bed... currently $1732USD (Bitcoinaverage).
We also broke $2400CAD... a high of $2405 (Bitcoinaverage) and currently also $2405 according to Google. Another step up the ladder.
Another day another ATH. Can't wait until Dooglus updates his Top 20 Days thread.
Corrections are to be expected, can't have huge rises in price without some sort of correction, that said, we are still in the green so nothing to worry about short term. I wouldn't be disappointed after the great run we've had recently. Still HODLing like usual.

One day we'll finally see people crying about price dropping to "only" $5,000. Remember, people are getting sad not buying at the once-thought-to-be-too-high price of $1000. Price is rising even quicker right now but buying a tiny bit couldn't hurt. If you have coins, HODL on and watch these threads.

Hey, at least you're making something. I stopped mining large scale and started HODLing full time a while ago and I've been doing better HODLing than mining. Any coins I mine are usually ETH or Zcash and go right back to BTC. If you exchange coins back to BTC after mining you're golden.

just hold on and wait for the profit to roll in, with the rise comes corrections. Its just normal with organic growth.

I still think it's amazing that Altcoiner shills still spam and wreak havoc upon threads like this one. I sure hope you didn't put too much effort into this post, it won't get anything done and if anything Steem is used for different purposes than BTC. Now GTFO.

just in a bull market.
Indeed. I remember well the cries of 'cheap coins' in 2014 that gradually dwindled to nothing with ever decreasing enthusiasm. But everyone was alright in the end if they'd clung to their bags tightly.
Add to that the fact that if one were to buy coins before this week and sold at the top, one would have made guaranteed profit, just shows how great BTC is for us HODLers. Even if you bought during the Gox days and sold today you'd have made money. Puts things in perspective a little, such that now may not be a horrible time to buy

What's the downside of paper wallets then?
Edit. As a hodler
Almost none. If you have the patience and the right spot to put them in they're the most secure way to store coins. The fact that they can easily be damaged is avoided if you keep it in a very cool, dark spot like a locked desk. None of the malware shit and also very good looking and presentable if you print a good design

a few days ago it was like a pump to 1700
now its like a dump to 1700
A few days ago it was a dream to say we would ever hit $2000 this year.
In a few years we'll be crying about a dump to $9000. Just bookmark this page and read all about it years from now
we all know Bitcoin is about as random as it gets with price, nobody could have accurately predicted this price rise and have made the prediction believable at the same time.

Two minutes later, price recovers. Just sit back, don't watch price for a few hours, and chill. It's not like looking at your little phone or monitor every five minutes will change anything. Small corrections do happen and it's only normal for them to happen.

Wellp, I am back on the hodl train. I bought back in when it dipped down to 1750.
I'm wishing now I would of waited for $1700, but oh well. I can't tell the future. :\
I think there is a decent chance this is another bear trap before a new all time highs, then the real correction will occur.
If a big correction is occurring now, then I am going to hate myself, lol.
HODL train has left the station a while ago, been HODLing since 600 and I don't plan on getting off soon. It's just a correction and nothing major, if you're HODLing just chill, do something else and forget about the price. One of the advantages of HODLing is you don't need to worry about price
we'll be back to cracking ATHs in no time, we just need to refuel by correcting a little bit.

Chart looks bullish again to me. Nice to see pullbacks and recovery, I'm not certain however just my initial impression over the last 24 hours. I drew a rough uptrend line for CNY to pass or keep as a ceiling on yesterdays declining price action and its already confirming above that. At least short term it looks positive.
I do imagine people are making a fuss about the $2,000 mark. Of course it means zero as bitcoin is global not one currency and no value is fixed in any case. If the cause of this pullback is nonsense basically then it should match the uptrend resuming as I see it. As always just my rough take
https://www.forbes.com/sites/timothylee/2013/04/11/an-illustrated-history-of-bitcoin-crashes/#792e4bab4039People like goals, especially material ones. It can also cause more people to buy in (oddly) if they see price is at an ATH. These goals get more attention to BTC as well, which can cause further price rise due to more adoption, so it doesn't hurt to root for them.

We're going to be at 400 sats/byte soon if we don't reach consensus. I wish we could just get along and reach consensus soon so we're all happy, but bitcoinland doesn't work like that.
Combined with the current trend, we'll absolutely take off once Segwit or BU activates, but neither looks likely soon.

how do I know an ICO to invest in?
None of them. Buy bitcoin and HODL.
Look at what you think are the top 25, either still in ICO or already released and launched. Then pick the top 5.
4 of them will flop and dump to zero. 1 of them will do 10x or 20x.
Of course, it's quite possible you picked the worst of them and they all dump to zero. I say, just go for the free airdrops that you see, and some cheap altcoins, or buy a small amount. Don't day trade (unless that's your thing.)
Now, I've gotten maybe 20 altcoins, and maybe 15 or 16 of them are worthless now. One is I'm waiting for something to happen, another I already made 5x the ICO price but I'm still waiting for something else to happen.
Then, you trade some or most or all of it to bitcoin and HODL.
If you had Ripple or Litecoin, regardless of what you think of the coins themselves, they were profitable to HODL about 2 months ago, and then sell. But there was really no way to predict all that. It's like everyone is saying 3 years ago to invest in ETH, but noooooo... I didn't. And the ones who did probably didn't HODL long enough.
in my opinion none of this still justifies investing in an ICO. if you want to invest then invest in an altcoin that already existed and have been listed on an exchange.
the information that can be gained from just looking at the charts is 1000 times better than going in ICO where you are completely blind to its future.
I've made quite a bit in Iconomi both by bounties ( $1000 per article written!) and investing, but they're an anomaly as most ICOs absolutely flop and go nowhere. It's risky and HODLing is easier and more profitable.

What's going on then? Ripple half of bitcoin marketcap and bitcoin dominance 46% and we are at $1800.
Shits gone crazy.
Shitcoins are pumped every single day, XRP was barely worth anything until now. It popped into existence on the coin dominance board and it's not even decentralized, with creators holding billions of XRP and also making them. There's nothing to worry about. It is simply the new normal and market capitalization charts nowadays are NOT true at all unless you filter out all the bullshit.

I don't know how long the 866BTC sell wall has been there on Stamp at $2022 (which is $1.75 million) - but I suspect it is going to be eaten within the next several hours. Anyone think contrarily?
I refreshed and now I see a buy wall of 422 BTC at $2008.69...
Which one will go first... ? I suspect the 422 will go first (maybe gonna get eaten), but? let's see.
Finally, after several hours, we are getting a bit of chomping at the $2,022 wall. There had already been some chomping at the $2,008.69 wall.... ..
So, let's see how long this $2,022 wall is going to last and whether it will be eaten or pulled.
As I type, about 40 coins bought in the past few minutes, bringing the total remaining coins down to 826..
Popcorn, anyone?
814 BTC left, seems that same whale is using 383 BTC buy order as a trap to pump price?
Why the whale sells if a hydrogen bomb coming?
Who knows. Whales are strange creatures, selling at the least opportune moments and making moves that don't seem to make sense. I guess you can interpret the bomb to be good and also bad, of which the latter is probably what the whale thought.

Finex is back at 2200. No big deal, we've got lines of people waiting to buy the dip. Plenty of support right now so we are not likely to freefall to the low 1000s in the near future.

You all should take a look at the bitfinex prices right now, they're going up and down every few seconds. Bumpy rollercoaster ride right now, but interesting to see what's happening right now. Very large volume dumps are happening but we aren't dropping too much, happy with what's happening right now. Partially because of all the support we aren't going down too much.

Shows us we aren't in a bubble and support is quite strong at this price range. Huge volume on Finex and it seems red is currently winning- just saw a nice 60 coin buy order after a couple of sells. Interesting times ahead, I welcome corrections if it means we're going back up after.

Please come buy coins here! They're as shiny as the others and a bit less expensive! :3
And it is also harder to move money to Kraken. Ive tried several times to no avail sadly, maybe when it becomes easier to move funds to em I'll check it out.

Are you in USD? The Kraken USD market is traditionally a strange and stunted little thing. All the action is in EUR and you can SEPA there very rapidly if you're not in a third world country like the US.

Nice profit to be made as well flipping coins, I've stopped doing this a while ago but there's definitely profit in these corrections. Segwit + 2MB is now being discussed as an issue by some people (read somewhere it's possible only 2mb will be implemented and segwit will somehow be left out of it because of some 'issue'), personally I just want some sort of consensus in either direction, set up a UASF node for the cause.

Looking long term, if we hold out at a decent price until we get to August 1st and Segwit will begin to be locked in, we might finally see the huge push we've all been waiting for.

ETH is already at 20 billion marketcap
This will be a complete bloodbath once people realize that no real use cases for ETH exist...
I fought for Bitcoin till now but i am tired now.
ETH does everything which bitcoin can't. It doesn't have malicious greedy piece of shits like Jihan BU and Roger ver in the first place. ETH don't have ASICs. Mining power is greatly distributed among people because people mine with GPU's.
No stupid scaling debates. The only thing keeps me moving from btc to eth is that i feel like it is too late now. I feel like shit. We will lose the market cap to ETH...
Look what OKcoin said:
https://www.okcoin.com/t-387.htmlThat's because ETH is centralized as hell and they don't need insanely large battles like we're having in BTC. Let's face it, a centralized coin will never work. We just need Jihan to stop this madness and the dominos will begin to fall. ETH might have ASICs in the future but it's unlikely due to the incoming difficulty bomb. Hell, once they switch to PoS they won't even have any hashrate supporting them!

Most of the people from 2013 predicting double digit coins are missing, and the next wave of newcomers hasn't started yet. After a mega ATH they will eventually discover bitcointalk, then discover this thread a month or two later. Our voices will be lost in the noise of newbies by then.
I still know a few guys back from 2013 still here, although they post a lot else frequently than before; I only joined the train in late 2014. I plan on staying for a while longer, the more newbies, the more FUD and misguided investors as well as misinformation.

This is why I hate vacations, I always come back to some odd or horrible situation happening. This "crash" isn't as bad as i thought it would be, probably some traders taking profits all over the board. We'll be back up in a few days. Nice time to grab some cheap coins, price might go down more but it probably won't be as much as the main drop.

and congratz for who sold at 3000 enjoy the holidays
Actually, congrats to those buying this dip, we may never see 2K again.
I agree with you but it a good idea to now because the price will still fall down more for days before it rise up to the moon. Therefore, I congratulation those who watch the price closely in other to make some quick buy before the price race up again.
Why? There's plenty of support at this level and it seems the worst is already over. If this trend continues we'll either go down a little and up or just sideways for a short time and back up. Triangles forming nicely right now, looks like we will soon go back up.

Loving the LTC rally! Its the only other coin I hold and have done since $1.
Only Bitcoin here for me, and that was starting at 300. I'm happy with what I've got, not a gambly person. I used to hold LTC but sold for Bitcoin a while back in 2015. Not a decision I regret at all, considering what's happened recently.

Any ideas why the exchanges are speculating a drop to 1723 in the short term?
http://www.bitcoinforecast.comAlthough this is not always correct, bitstamp nailed the most recent drop within a few bucks.
There could be some indicators of a correction, it's definitely possible that we aren't out of the danger zone yet. I somewhat agree with their long-term price speculation but I feel like it could go either way at this point.

I understand the mempool has started confirming no fee txs, but it appears it's filling up somewhat again as I tried this with a 110-sat/byte transaction and it hasn't confirmed for more than six hours. Can't wait till SW so fees aren't so high, they are ok but lower is always good.

Support seems high for 2x ATM, a little pool luck and we could be at 85 and a few more small pools would possibly get us to 90. At this point I'm glad for any sort of consensus, though I prefer just Segwit and no 2MB.

I just realised Stamp has around 500 coins in sell orders.
While Finex has 5700+. I never had a clue about the size discrepancy of these two exchanges.
It's probably why the exchange is higher than other exchanges. Not sure why people don't sell as much there though if prices are indeed higher.

Moving sideways for so long, it's boring now. Atleast there's some excitement because of Segwit2x and UASF.
That excitement has always been there ever since the UASF was announced. As for moving sideways, there was hardly anything in 2015. Price was sideways the entire time or down that year. I think our situation is great compared to that uneventful year where BTC hit less than 200 on some exchanges.

Ok, could someone help me please.
With regards to byteball and whatever else......
I hold a reasonable amount of btc. Not as much as some of the people here but enough to be pretty pissed off if anything happened to them.
I store all on paper wallets (plural)
How would I get my free shit coins?
Proving numerous paper wallets and moving it all around is not what I want to be doing as I was panicking just setting all that up in the first place!!
I'm guessing the answer will be. Well Rjclarke2000 if you don't move it you don't get free shit coins.....
I am open to ideas from people more intelligent than myself.
This is btc related mr Admin Mod as I want more btc.
You would need to use an isolated secure PC, introduce the private keys and generate the signatures that prove you control them. Then copy all the signatures to a flash memory and copy them to your internet connected PC, then do the claim process from it.
Maybe not worth it... it depends on how many BTC you have for each paperwallet.
All that problems would be solved by one or several hardware wallets. The weakness of paperwallets is that any time you need to use them you are exposing the private key to a PC. People doesn't realise that even if they don't regularly "use them" they will have to do it some day in order to claim its BTC.
Ok thanks guys. I may be making a big mistake but I think as I am too worried about moving them about (which I have actually done in the past) I will not bother. I will keep the paper wallets safe and secure and just stay how I am. Some may say I am crazy but some wallets hold more than others and if anything should happen I would be more than upset/ pissed off. I'd probably go on some sort of rampage.
Maybe I'll just keep doing what I am doing and miss the boat this time.
Thanks for the advice but I am not as technical as most here. (More than the average person but not more than some regulars here)
That's understandable, better to lose out on some profit than to possibly lose all your coins. I keep most of mine on a hardware wallet so it takes a while to do anything with it.

Alphabay, a huge anonymous market which supposedly pulled an exit scam on its users. Could possibly be a reason why Bitcoin's price is going down right now.

Looking at redditors and Bitcoiners in general panicking and sitting here knowing it'll all change in August. Everybody should just relax and wait, if anything this is nothing compared to the good/bad that will happen in August. Everybody knows price will fluctuate before then but it won't matter very much at all. SW activation will be a huge piece of bullish news when it happens.

Price will probably drop further after that so you may still have a good buying opportunity yet. August 1 will feature lots of chaos and if you're brave enough and can locate an exchange selling on that day, you may be able to buy some extra-cheap coin.

It's not just Bitcoin either, guys. Ethereum continues its downward plunge and could be below $130 today. No alt is doing too well for the most part here. LTC is doing pretty well due to SW activation and longer term price rise, however. Going to continue my HODL until we get past August, perhaps then we might get more bullish news and another ATH.

We still need ViaBTC, F2Pool to signal, and F2Pool recently got DDOSed so that may be the reason why signalling is delayed on their end. Bitmain is also fake signalling right now, and if that doesn't change then they will orphan all SW2x blocks. Interesting times. I hope that lock-in period will succeed the first time but considering these two big pools and several small pools aren't signalling BIP91 yet, it may take some time for it to happen.

Where do we expect BCC demand to be coming from? Chinese? Jihan? Roger?
If they're going to fork off chances are the ones who forked will pump the coin, creating artificial demand. Perhaps Chinese will buy into it as well, could be interesting how price goes early on and long term. I expect an ETC situation where price is much below that of Bitcoin's.

Good morning Bitcoinland.
I see the price is correcting up nicely from this week's little dip... currently $2773USD (Bitcoinaverage) after briefly passing $2800.
After all the BIP91, BIP141, hardfork, BTC cash, and other panics in the last few weeks, we're basically back to where we were after the original correction following the ATH.
Maybe the market is getting calloused by all the angst and August won't be as big a jolt as some people think. I'd love to see a return to the slow steady growth that has largely characterized the past 2 years.
Maybe because people are buying BTC to get some additional 'free' bitcoins later. Price is fine as it is but I expect a drop of around $300 once BCC comes out.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash/If this continues, Bitcoin Cash will just be a drop in the bucket and it'll be dumped to oblivion. Less free money for us now, but it's still money.

It just recently activated, less than an hour ago if I am correct. Price is beginning to go downwards slightly now, it will probably accelerate once we hit 12:20PM UTC tomorrow. Will be interesting to see what the price will be once the fork happens- I expect BTC at ~2400-2500 or less.

I don't get the median time stuff, the countdowns are over, the bitcointalk time is now 12:39, why isn't the average time also 12:20?
I expected the split already, looking at the alts markets, others did too! I guess some jumped the gun as the fork hasn't happened yet.
I wonder how many other people are frantically hitting f5 a lot today!
Median time is like Network Time- It is never usually the same as the time that we are on for many reasons. Give it ~30 minutes and we will be on our way. Traders always sell early, not much of a surprise to me. It will likely go down more as the real traders start to dump.

Very unprofessional to distribute BCC to some people first.. Probably insider dumping first.
That's what I'm thinking... All the rest of us Kraken users will eventually receive our coins, but who knows at what price. Hopefully it doesn't go down to the point where it's not even worth as much as the TX fees. I wasn't one of the guys who sent their coins last minute, either. :/ This is the last time I'm ever using Kraken, would've preferred just going through the hassle of splitting instead of this bullshit.

Probably when blocks aren't coming in only every few hours. My guess is they are waiting for block time to go down before they start accepting deposits.
As for price, price could easily be pumped to the point of BTC=BCH with deposits extremely limited. The only issue is this will likely be short lived as price will probably drop once deposits are initiated on big exchanges. I was also one of the guys who dumped at .07; it's still free money no matter which way you look at it, eh?

Waking up a few thousand dollars richer is always nice. A correction is bound to come, so don't get too excited, but this IS an ATH after all and these are always important. We haven't reached the moon yet, though, so if you are looking at buying in I would wait till another possible correction comes in.

....... talking of dumps
I wonder how much longer will BCH hold $200 for
Probably not too long. Everybody that has dumped BCH has mostly dumped and the planned HODLers are probably trembling right now. I'm surprised this chain is still alive with all of the mess that it has created and the mess that it is in itself. The coin could probably pump again now that many people have dumped but I doubt it'll go anywhere anytime soon.

Try to store mutiple wallets with small amounts of Bitcoin that you can easily recover and combine if needed, but don't divide the coins up into too small amounts or it will become a major hassle to get the coins back. Try to make it so you are okay with losing some coins in the event of the or natural causes; just don't put all your eggs in one nest.

I wonder when Lightning will finally be implemented. It'll probably be the last piece of the puzzle and that could make price rise a little bit. As of now it's just SW, which is nice as it is, but Lightning will be the real kicker. Not the end-all, but it helps futureproof Bitcoin and is a temporary scaling solution that's at the very least better than what we have now.

It'll be back once someone corners the market. Maybe not .2 back, but it won't surprise me.
i literally had my finger on the sell button at .2

so I didmt sell , i waited for it to go higher
and waited
and waited.....
phuuuuuck!
It's all free money for most people and that hasn't changed. I sold at .07 and I haven't regretted a thing, I wouldn't hold on to it for too long though with the new 2X fork coming in November. Playing it safe is also rewarding in Crypto

I hate to be a Debbie Downer but I do not like the risk/reward for btc right now. If we manage to break through $5000 I see a maximum of $5500 to $7000 before a major (meaning painful) correction. I am talking about $2500 to $2800, 50% correction or back to the weekly 20 MA. You know it will come, we just don't know when. I would rather wait for a huge discount to buy. I hope I am wrong, really, but I doubt it.

It still doesn't hurt to dip your hands into the cookie jar and buy some Bitcoin right now. It's never a good idea to put too much in at one point anyways, and if you only buy a little now and buy the rest later it can't hurt- I also expect we probably won't break $5000 this time around, and we will continue on a temporary downwards trend.

AltcoinCash continues to slip... $551USD/$670CAD (Coinmarketcap).
When are people going to stop panicking over unsubstantiated rumors dressed up as "reports from sources"? Never, I guess. Weaklings will always panic.

We're bound to go below $3000 and possibly further which would be the time that I'm definitely going to buy in. We've been net positive for the last few months and I'm still in the green even if price goes down to $1000 which isn't very likely. We're still up in terms of the entire year, so not too worried here.
BTCC at $2500 is just people trying to get money out but that price could be here very soon... just waiting for that to happen.

I look to Every page in here from now When a date is picked first iT cannot been taken again ( 1st =1st)
Another .25 btc is rewarded for ho makes best of technical analyse of the time When we strike ATH.... and Why iT happens at that time.....
So This .25 also only to been payed 1 time .... and not 2 times te same explanation.... (1st =1st)
Both answers to win must been inside before 20-09-2017
Goodluck to the ones that like This
UPDATE listmaking notice a * is when the person put good enough explanation for other .25 BTC (person with no * only play ATH or have to put little better )

We have lived through that 4 year cycle a few times already
A few times already when Bitcoin is only 8 years old?
Is my sarcasm meter on the blink or are you just trolling the bears?
Well...a few being 2
I sat through my $10k investment at $17 (right after the $32 bubble) went down to $2 over the course of 2 years. I sat through the $1200 bubble that came down over the course of 2 years to $180. There could certainly be some correlation between the halving and the price rise. Inflation gets cut in half and we have price discovery to find the new value. Overshooting only leads to a downward price pattern which in turn takes all of these new "get rich quick, FOMO" people that buy bitcoins just because they see dollar signs and makes them run away scared as the price is going down. And after a year of dropping price nobody wants to invest in something losing value ("It could go to 0!"). So it tends to drop below the value due to that type of speculation.
I don't see as big of a drop this time as the last two times though since this "bubble" was rather weak. I think the price will mainly be down in the $2k range, maybe dip under $1k on some FUD briefly before starting a new climb to heights that nobody but McCafee would predict.
You have to admit, zooming out to the 2 year chart the pattern looks all too familiar.
I'm still ready for him to do what he promised in his tweet, though. We don't lose out either way, eh?
What we've accomplished in the last few months is impressive nonetheless and I'd be happy with 3000 or 2000 this year.

Feeling sorry for you mate, but look at all those who lost much more than this, and consider yourself blessed, that's all what I can say.
Now $5000 is the new floor.

It's a little bit early to saay $5000 is the new floor ! Nothing have been re tested, this "floor" is only 6 hours old ...
Pretty correct. We just may take a slide back, that's not impossible.
I’ve already bought plenty during the previous dip so I don’t lose anything, plus most of my coins were bought below $500-700. Haven’t lost any since last year

I am really enjoying the butthurt of nay-saying late adopters on other (non BTC) forums I frequent.

I sometimes enjoy reading the posts of readers following a bitcoin article in some msm outlets. they hated it and didn't get it when it went over $100. the hated it and didn't´t get it when it went over $1000. they just do not see the technology breakthrough part.
this helpless, clueless ignorance is sometimes entertaining.
disclaimer: I was clueless and ignorant myself when the internet started. if thought it was a hype and hated it. couldn't´t grasp what a "browser" was. when the internet bubble started I was one of the last fools to burn my fingers. but I did figure out what an idiot I was and decided to not let that happen again. when I discovered bitcoin I knew I would not let this one go by due to ignorance. learnt much about bitcoin and hodling in this forum. thank you all. without this forum I would not be in the position I am.
Yep.. this forum and this thread has been a great place for inspiration and up to date knowledge sharing.. etc.. etc..
There's no better place to escape the trolls (mostly) and get up to date information without rampant censorship like sometimes seen on Reddit. The forum has always been friendly and reliable and it's going to stay that way.

Are they dumping in an attempt to maximize damage? I mean there are probably more subtle methods of cashing out.
Considering most people supporting 2X and Cash absolutely hate Core and the main chain I guess this is their way of trying to damage us. Subtle was probably not part of their plan.

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.
That said, something still feels off to me. If this was all that the biggest attack on bitcoin to date could do, then... well we will see what we will see.
Forgot to sell my BTG at .05 like I planned to, had to stick with .02. I’m personally still sticking with Bitcoin all the way and I’ll take any repercussions that come as a result of it.

Mostly people with weak hands and newer visitors to Bitcoin. Every drop in price comes from sellers like the people I mentioned previously, nothing new. Just HODL and relax.
