So the maths happened.. parabolic has to complete its cycle before.. moving upward.. it will surely cross 3000 usd level but after completing this parabolic cycle... and it has to come down to anywhere between 1300 to 1500 usd level... which is 61.8% to 78.8% retracement of this parabolic move ... over 8 weeks.



If we imply the first doted line is the correct one, then the price will go up to 3000 dollars by 2020, without a bear claw, am I right?

Isn't all this bitcoin drama the so-called "currency war" between the US and China?

The shit winds have started to blow. Batten down the hatches.

https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/6peqwr/if_the_2x_portion_of_segwit2x_fails_to_activate/

these are the credible threats that will push 2x to activate



And BIP48 to force Segwit, eveybody happy, right?

What will happen if Jeff fails coding 2x? It seems to rushed, i rather see Segwitt testing on the real economy for atleast 6-12 months.


I think it should be three years with SegWit until increasing the block size to 2mb.

Three months is rushed, and dangerous.

Jimbo is well known for buying the bottoms.

How to know when the bottom is reached? I have been following the trends and sunday always seems the most deep it can go, and it always tries to recover in monday.

Do not go longterm gold ROach (10-20 years), when the age of space mining starts gold and some other precious metals will be worthless.

If you're going to try and argue with me about metals, please have at least some primitive understanding of how the market works.

I'm talking about future space mining, what the effect will have on the price later on, not metals vs Bitcoin.

I appreciate youre explanation. btw i liked youre jew gifs Smiley

Ayway...those bigblockers are all beeing played by Roger and Jihan.

They're like rats leaving there sinking ship to another sinking ship.

They shit on Bitcoin while XT was the best thing ever..

They shit on Bitcoin while Classic was the best thing ever..

They shit on Bitcoin while BU was the best thing ever..

They shit on Bitcoin while NChain was the greatest thing ever..

Few weeks ago Bitcoin ABC was the greatest thing ever while shitting on Bitcoin..

Now those noobs shitting on Bitcoin while Bitcoin Cash is the greatest thing ever..







It's still a opportunity to buy with a DISCOUNT.

Well, I had my accounts hacked in Bittrex and HitBTC by 24th July. The hacker also tried to hack into Poloniex, but this one asks for a code sent by email.

It was my fault, I used the same password in the three exchanges, and I was not using 2FA, a foolish attitude from my part. The hacker messed my Bittrex funds, he sold everything he could for bitcoins, except the altcoins below 50k satoshis in value. However, he was not able to withdraw it from Bittrex, since this would require a confirmation by email. I had nothing stored in HitBTC.

The interesting part is that I also have a account in Btc-e, and if I'm not mistaken I was using the same password there too. The attack was nearly the same time people reported Btc-e shutting down.

The exchanges sent emails with logging information, but not Btc-e. The hacker used a proxy and Chrome as browser.

Only 1,5 years ... and now, the same pattern repeat with SegWit adoption.
Choose wisely ... mathematic rules are just.



Very true. I was sympathetic to the idea of increasing block size until I saw a graphic showing it would reach 1tb for the blockchain to be stored in a computer, in case it would increase block size to 2mb.

Then I remembered Ethereum Mist which I had my computer turned on constantly for two weeks to download its blockchain, and it never completed it, making me drop it. And as you know, Ethereum is supported by big corporations, big banks, oligarchies, even Microsoft. Ethereum is very centralized and its creator dictates what happens in that network.

Then it occurred to me the external hd where I have the blockchain is a very old 640gb Samsung, with a usb 2.0 port. And it occurred to me I would never be able to run a bitcoin node again, if it were to increase block size, since 2mb would be only the beginning of a long centralization process.

I'm worried.

People selling the BCC are falling into a trap.

And it's a ingenious one. The replay protection is there, if you sell in one chain, you sell in the other.

If you dump BCC, you will be dumping BTC too.

"Update: They Bitcoin Cash specification now requires that all transaction use the redefined sighashing algorithm as explained for the first method. This means that there is now two way transaction replay protection; transactions made on the Bitcoin ABC chain will be invalid on the non-ABC chain and vice versa."

Yes, they will be invalid. If 1 BTC is 5 BCC, and you spend 1 BCC, then you can't spend it again in the other chain. In other words, you will have 0.8 BTC.

But I hope I'm wrong and you can sell BCC for BTC and vice-versa, like any alt coin.

They would be two completely separate blockchains, where transactions of one coin can only be made on its own chain (because of two way replay protection), and cannot affect the other chain in any way.

But will they use the same bitcoin addresses? I read that, to claim BCC, you have to put your BTC address in the ABC wallet.

This is what Trezor has to say:

"Will Bitcoin Cash addresses be different from Bitcoin addresses?

Your Bitcoin Cash addresses are also derived from your seed, but with different parameters. As they are made specifically for Bitcoin Cash, there will be no overlap with the original Bitcoin, which increases your privacy. This also means that you should not send bitcoins on a Bitcoin Cash address and vice versa.

The Bitcoin Cash BIP44 derivation path for addresses is:

m/44'/145'/
"

So you have to split the coins before sending it, maybe using some command line.

Well, that's better. I was fearful because I read that, to claim BCC, you have to put your BTC address in a ABC wallet, and so BCC would appear to be claimed. Then I was wondering if BCC wasnt just another representation of BTC in another chain, using other code, and in the end they would be the same coin.

Never do that if you have unspent bitcoins on this address! After the fork is activated FIRST move your bitcoins to another bitcoin address and just after that put your empty BTC address in your BTCCrooked ABC wallet!


Actually I'm not going to even touch it.

I was worried about the market, if people start dumping BCC and it uses the same addresses as BTC, then BTC will de dumped altogether.

It's really coming and it ain't be fun. US desperately need another WW.



Tell that to the music, movie and video game addicted millennial. Smiley
Middle finger will be shown to the government promptly! Cheesy Cheesy

Like they did in 2001? People signed up in droves for the chance to fight. Propaganda and media manipulation are very powerful tools.

Shit, where were those WMD's again?

Mp3 was not very popular at the time, there were no smartphones, no usb sticks.

Movies were not in high definition. Most monitors were still CRT.

Video games were niche, often hard, the masses regarded as something for children.



There were no millennials back 2001.

If you don't mind I'd like to ask you all a few serious questions.

1. When is "moon" for you guys? Everyone has their own "moon" value.

2. When your "moon" figure has been achieved how will you sell a large amount of coins or will you always keep bitcoin?

3. Will you always keep a portion of your stash and never convert to fiat?



Thanks and happy ATH friends.






50k is the moon, 500k is Mars and 5m is Jupiter.

I didn't even retrieved it. Been eight days since I started synching bitcoin ABC in another system. Extremely slow.

I don't plan to sell it, will keep it since it have more potential for value than ether. But as soon as I retrieve it I will send to a exchange, can't keep a node on it, it's too slow.

For fork's sake! Bitcoin Core braces for another cryptocurrency split: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/08/bitcoin_core_fork_cryptocurrency/
"This is basically a sign from Bitcoin Core that they do not regard SegWit2x as being the real Bitcoin," explained Ryan X. Charles, CEO of Yours.org, in a YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ep4HtGgOdjw. "...This all but assures there will be another split when SegWit2x occurs."

Yeah, this time chinese miners will get rekt mining 2x bitcoin with declining price to 200$ and below. BTC brand is reserved for bitcoin core, so it will be the real bitcoin for some at least. The problem is that this contentious split will scare most ot the traders and they will start panic selling down to 40-50% from the ATH. At least this what happened many times this year.  But this is just the beginnig of the drama. Core dev's are planning for a change of POW (asic resistent of course), so that they will enforce the new version of core's software to work even if 100% of the pools are mining 2x bitcoin. If that scenario happens, I would expect a further price plummeting.  Huh

I'm confused now. Will the miners release a new wallet for the 2x bitcoin, will it have a new name? If I have Core 0.14.2 in one system and 0.15 in another, will I have two kinds of BTC, one 2x and another for LN? More free coins?

Have been watching the graphs today, and I think there will be no correction this time, no dip.

Two or three times I saw whales trying to dump the price, but it only got to the 3800's. They don't have weight anymore to do more intense dumps.

Price is on the 3900's and finding the usual psychological resistance on the triple zero. But I think this time it will break the barrier easily. The triple zero will not be considered a solid resistance as time passes, the four zero will be more likely to provoke corrections.

So let's accelerate this rocket to the 10,000's. Just accept it.

Nicola Duke thinks that if the $4400 level is taken out next stop is $7000. I agree. If you take a look at bitcoin's previous ATH it was halfway between a 4.236 and 6.854 Fibonacci extension of the ATH that preceded it. If you look at the Fibonacci extensions in play now $4400 is important resistance and if taken out $7000 is certainly possible. I have never seen a 6.854 extension in bitcoin take note though. masterluc has mentioned even higher targets that you can see in this Fibonacci extension chart:



These higher targets are low probability though. There is a distinct possibility that the current bitcoin rally can run out of steam between $4400 and $7000 and we would then enter a multi-year bear market. You really want to be mostly out of bitcoin before the next bear market which will be painful. Start taking some profits now. However, there is also a rule to live by: never sell all your bitcoin.

$4448 now. The chart shows $4433.

Was the resistance broken? Is this the new floor? Top at $7079 now?

I think it will keep the new floor and go even higher in this second level, to 7k.

Keep hodling it, the more in cold wallets, the scarce it will be and higher the price will go.

Going sideways untill Segwit activation?

I'm going to wait till 20th August. Will have fiat prepared to buy some more.

I read a lot of predictions saying it would fall to 3600-3800 range. Even if it is a small dump it is still a discount.

Just reminding that I wont sell anything and I advise everybody to HODL the line like there was no tomorrow.

Bravo sir.

Personally, I like the idea that I will live longer than the US government will exist. At that point I can cash out into whatever I want to and not have to pay taxes on it.

I don't want luxury or "nice things". I want to live for hundreds of years and travel to new worlds. That will take money.

If you are loaded you can already renounce US citizenship and take another one, ideally in a country which does not tax foreign capital gains.

...you still pay an exit tax.
I'm also trying to get my head around my tax situation - guess its a good position to be in. I'm seeing an accountant next week.

Not much that can be done. I've looked into as many tax loopholes as I can. I even had all of the paperwork ready to create an offshore business to funnel my bitcoins through but the controlled foreign corporation rules require any foreign corporation where you own 50% of requires you to declare capital gains that the company gets immediately even if the company does not distribute it to you.

There are some companies that allow you to take out a loan on your stock options (which fixes the price) where they "hold" the stocks and you "fail to pay back the loan".

Living overseas you can withdraw $38k per year and pay zero capital gains as long as you have no other income.

Though a really good tax lawyer could probably figure something out. Tax "loopholes" are legal ways of not paying taxes that the tax legislators just haven't noticed yet.

If your accountant tells you that there's no getting around paying capital gains taxes he's really saying there's know way -he- knows of how to get around them. There is always a way especially the more money you have.

Impressive. And they call capitalism "free", its very far from that. It is kind of a mafia of banks, states and big corporations.

The only way to free capitalism and let it be what it was intended to be, is to smash down this structure of taxes.

However, I see there is some resistance around 4300-4400, so maybe it will fall to 3700-3800 as some traders might lose their patience and sell.

The satellite allows those people to also be able to get the Blockstream's approved version of the blockchain (well part of it, only new blocks right now)

You people need to stop pretending it's even possible to create a decentralized cryptocurrency in the first place.  Nothing resembling a Nash equilibrium will EVER exist in these things, only an exposed power vacuum to be taken over by a monopoly man or cartel.  


To use silver as currency you need to mint them, and you need consensus so that the merchant might accept it. Also silver coins are defined by purity, less pure coins value less and so are used to buy cheaper stuff. In the past silver coins minted by foreign authorities were weighed by merchants and were valued according to their weight. However you can't carry too much silver coins inside your pockets, and they call attention from people who might steal them from you.

With bitcoin you can carry a chest full of silver inside a cellphone. And you can put a password on it so nobody can steal it. You will still need consensus, which is the primary requirement for any currency.

It's the same for e-readers, where you can carry a library inside it, all in digital format.

Welcome to the 21st century.

If the wallet have cryptography you cant open it without the password, even if you have the private keys.

I know that because I have a wallet with a lost password, and when trying to export the private keys to another wallet it asked the password the same way. Fortunatelly this wallet have very few satoshis.

Interesting this recent dump.

As I see in Bittrex, all my alts are falling hard, alongside bitcoin which is falling according to bitstamp.

Theres just one alt which is not falling, and this one is BCH, which I've got from the ABC wallet in another system. BCH is with 34.8% increase at the moment.

I'm used to two patterns: bitcoin up and alts down, and bitcoin down and alts up.

Now theres this third pattern: BCH up, and everybody else down.

Interesting. Let's see how this currency war will develop.

They are dumping it and using the money to pump BCH. Fortunatelly I have both coins.

That's why I say that bitcoin is not a normal asset, but a religion.

And the religion have forked, now we have fundamentalists pumping the coin from the new church.

I think it will need 3 years of testing until block size can be increased to 2mb.

I'm not against it, I just think it should not be made in a hurry.

This requires lots of testing, they have to try sidechains, new codes and implementations. This takes time, you cant do that in just 3 months. You will need 3 years.

There is extreme dishonesty in the segwit2x camp, which you can see from trying to exploit the fact that people do not really know Segwit is 4mb, and they try to sell the angle that bitcoin is simply going to be upgraded from 1 to 2mb. The dishonesty is compounded by things like what Bitpay does... "yeah just download this upgrade titled bitcoin" (which runs something else).


And I'm thinking here that was 2mb... if SegWit is already 4mb, then why all this drama?

This seems like a kind of currency war. Maybe are not the PBOC managers who are behind all this trolling?

If SegWit have a block size of 4mb by default, and 2x plans to increase it to 8mb, then why the specialized media keeps saying its 2mb?

The idea is that if Segwit2x chooses to go through with an attempt to hard fork the block size to 2MB, and the blockchain splits in two, replay attacks could lead some users and companies to lose money. And in the mind of advocates for Bitcoin Core, those backing the new agreement should be the ones to add replay protection.

Traders never cease to amaze me! When it was clear that BCH will appear, BTC will continue to exist as 'bitcoin' and everybody will get free money, the faint hearted shaky hands sold their bitcoins below 2500 just before the fork losing big time. Now, the conflict between 2x and core is endangering the existence of bitcoin, these same traders buy above 4K!!! Little they know that if S2X forks without replay protection, the fork will be a giant mess, both chains will be unusable for days, possibly weeks and the price will crash (maybe even below 1000$). a lot of people will hedge into LTC, ETH and BCH! It will look like bitcoin is dying while BCH is going up like crazy. Of course everyone who supports BCH wants exactly that! (At least the ones who can think that far and are interested in a high BCH price). The recent rise of the BTC price is just a bubble, created by chinese mining whales who want to sell high all and then dump BTC for good. They are free now from the limitation of the core team and can adjust the difficulty to make much bigger profits. Reading between the lines in Roger Ver's and Jihan Wu's tweets, they will trade most of their BTC for BCH and will continue to drive up BCH's price.

No replay protection means there will be no alt coin. When you transfer from one chain, it will also transfer in the other, but if they have different address structures, the ammount you transfered in the other chain will go to another address, which can ou cannot be linked to the address you sent in the original chain.

However, if you never use the other chain, there will be nothing to worry, as most nodes are using Core software. Only those who install the forked software can get rekt, as the address they sent can be one of Core, whereas in the forked chain it can be from another person.

Just dont install any software which is not Core signed. Now how will we explain that to noobs who use bitcoin from cellphones?

Interesting how there is so little talk around here about how many Chinese BTC Western exchanges will be able to absorb in the first place.
Because rest assured: what cannot be sold in China will be sold in the West.

Another thing that is not being talked about: how will BTC survive after a large decline? Is this crypto's Dotcom bubble crash? Because in that case, only a few crypto currencies will survive, and only those with the strongest usecase. In my view, BTC is far from certain to be ensured survival in that case.  Bitcoin is not ensured - at all - to rise again. Past performance does not guarantee future performance, as the opposite would mean that Bitcoin would keep rising forever.

Lastly: what will happen if some major parties that are playing the market now decide to move over to some other crypto alternative, with more advanced tech and/or a different usecase? Because those parties aren't holding BTC for some damn ideological goal: they want to make money. If they start dumping Bitcoin like there is no tomorrow, we might easily find ourselves in a similar 2014/2015 decline.

I'm curious how people think about these questions, as there is way too little attention for such things here.

It will rise because of current development, like the lightning network, satellites and all those other things proposed in the Segwit papers. Also, there's card projects like TenX and Proof which wants to make crypto-currencies useful, turning some alt-coins into daily cash, like litecoin, dash, bcash and ethereum, and this would increase the importance of bitcoin as a reserve coin, like gold is to fiat, hence increasing the market cap. People would use bitcoin only to buy big things, holding it as a store of value mostly, and trade would focus more in those alt-coins next to it.

Since bitcoin would be used as a reserve, at some point development of bitcoin would halt, and then the alts would increase more than bitcoin. However, none of them would be near it in value, as gold still have more value than fiat. This will probably happen when bitcoin reaches 100k each and have a market cap similar to gold, and the alts combined will have four times this market cap, although divided between some 10-20 different alts (most of them will die over time due to ICO regulations).

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



I agree. We need a floor right now. My guess is that bitcoin will be floating around 3900-4200 range for this month, than 4000-4500 range for the next, and 4000-4900 range for the rest of the year. This will be good for trading altcoins.

$1500-$1600 on mid-October at most. And I mean the WORST case scenario. If it falls more than that then I'll buy all of them  Cool

People in Jan 2014 when price dipped from $1200 to $800:

"$600-$700 at most. And I mean the WORST case scenario. If it falls more than that then I'll buy all of them  Cool"

Subsequent final bottom: $183


The volume by that time was smaller than it is now, and there were less users.

Massive user adoption by this year means there will be more people hodling, so the worst case is around $1500-$1800.

Each time a whale sells its coins, at least 10% of the new users will be hodlers, people who don't go all-in with a single product, and who are looking for long-term. So even if the other 90% are newbies and sell it at first panic, the whale will lose bitcoins over time, as each time it dump its coins, more new users come in due to marketing, so each dump its 10% coins being lost to hodlers, which increases the volume over time, pushing the floor up.

Hello.

So what happened today ? I was busy at work, fortunately I took a 5min break and had the idea to look at current poloniex lending rates (which have been low since the fork). To my surprise they were good, so I decided to send some more coins there.

Concurrently the mempool was almost empty, so the coins got there fast and I caught some nice rates.

Only 1000 BTC in lending at some point, when the usual was more than 10000.

Any explanation ?

I'm worried about this. Noobs will be dumping B2X all the way down to get "muh free coins" and then they will be dumping BTC hard, which will make the price drop.

My only hope is that the noobness is so intense that they cant have any way to know how to "retrieve" so-called "free coins", and that the exchanges wont support it since it is not an alt-coin, as there is no replay protection.

I agree. Some hodlers have that nerdish, kult/underground mentality, thinking that bitcoin is not for the masses but only for computer enthusiasts, that is a niche available only for the chosen few.

I think quite the contrary. I want the masses to adopt it and use it in their tracking devices smartphones, to use it to buy things, pay their bills, etc. With this come massive valuation and a increase in price, that is all we want.

However, their attempt to kidnap the bitcoin name with a hardfork with no replay protection and their poor dev team makes the majority of users dislike them.


Not sure about the RP information diffusion because I see a lot of users talking about dumping B2X like they never read about RP in the first place, and why the lack of it is dangerous.

It seems they want to dump it despite the constant repetition that the lack of RP can create a dangerous situation for their own BTCs, as a malicious miner can replay the transaction on the mainchain.

They want to dump it simply because of the image of Garzik portrayed as a megalomaniac by the general consensus, or because it is "free coins". They forget the technicals or simply ignore it.

And this is happening at the same time as the sharks come in with their wallets full of fiat money to speculate in future markets.

Network protocols are not a democracy. They need near universal agreement in order to work.

The reason is simple:

If for every contentious choice, there was a 52% group that said "yes I like that" and a 48% group that said "I don't like that", then you have two protocols. In the second contentious choice for each fork, of similar dynamics (52-48), you have four protocols. In the third, you have eight protocols - which all do not recognize each other. If there were, say, 8 DNS protocols, your router wouldn't even know where to begin with in order to convert a name to an IP address...

Bitcoin is trying to compete with assets like Gold. You can't "fork" Gold or redefine what Gold is and that has value. Bitcoin's resistance to re-definition, likewise has value. Some people are trying hard to damage this resistance in order to say "see? Bitcoin is crap, it can be forked, it can be inflated through forks, uncertainty can be introduced on what fork will be the "right" one, etc etc... gold doesn't have all this bullshit, I'll stick with gold / stocks / fiat".

This is why all the forkers are cancer. They are undermining bitcoin, or are actively trying to control it, under any narrative like "bigger blocks". Even when they had their "big blocks" with BCH and the 8mb fork, now they are trying to take BTC to 8mb as well with S2X. Why don't they simply stick to BCH? It's simple: Because it was never about big blocks, it was about CONTROL.


Well said. Lets copy and paste this text everytime a forker comes here preaching the word of his religious sect.

Can you imagine the internet with 8 DNS protocols? It would be unusable. Consensus underlines the anarchy of the web.

But GLD is held in custody, you dont have it stored in your house. Whereas for bitcoin, you can have the wallet and a copy of the blockchain in your hdd.

They will have to pump it first, though. No investor will enter in a future contract if the sell price is the same as the one currently on the exchanges. They will want it higher so that they make a profit out of it.

And CME and others will need to grow a reputation on it first, before screwing it up and blaming the "speculators from the exchanges" for it.

That's good news.

The lack of RP would cause a catastrophe. Even here on this forum there are people saying the fork is "free coins", even with all the information about RP repeated ad nauseum. The noobishness is appaling. They would dump it and lose their BTC, panic would ensure, price would drop to sub-5k levels and everybody would lose, including the miners and the B2X guys.

I agree with this interview: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-07/bitcoin-digital-gold

I would like litecoin as a payment currency, instead of bitcoin. Litecoin have atomic swap, and we will be able to swap it with bitcoin in the future. Purists sees it as a testnet, but for me, it have its own potential, as a digital silver, for daily use.

Bitcoin should be a reserve coin, to buy expensive things. For everything else, we can use litecoin. And people will not say its "expensive".

Compare with old times, where silver was more used as a currency than gold. Gold was more for reserve, people hoarded it for the future.

Today we can have bitcoin as gold, litecoin as silver and bcash can be like electrum coins (gold and silver combined in a single alloy).

Actually I think this BTC/BCH drama is concerted between the involved parties to escalate conflict and take us off the boredom of a constant bullish run. The miners switch networks to provoke a correction, to ensure the bulls can rest a little.

BCH was created with the sole purpose of creating FUD, to tremble weak hands. Its a whale business.

That would be nice. They can program it too. Every weekend they can dump BTC and pump some forkcoin. Then they release a new forkcoin each three months, easy retrievable with a cold wallet.

You receive freely, dump it on the high, and use it to buy more BTC which would be low. Then BTC rise on the monday and everybody will be happy. Rinse and repeat.

Of course. Extreme case: with everyone keeping their bitcoins and never selling, the Wall Street sharks can't buy "real" bitcoin, so their profits can only come on the derivatives side. For example, when they short massively, they can gain on cash-settled futures if the price goes down - provided there's a sucker who's longing those futures. If no hodler engages in derivatives trading, the sucker would be some trader - possibly another Wall street shark on the other side.

The logical question then is: what can a minnow do apart from hodling? Is there a way to benefit from swings in the derivatives market without touching one's btc stash?

The thing is, in the gold market the derivatives price leads the physical price. Whatever the derivative sells for, thats the price dictated to the metal sellers.

We sure as hell do not want to end up like that and it might be wise to start understanding the priorities and dynamics of derivatives markets and how they can potentially impact BTC.

Bitcoin has one huge advantage over gold in that respect because it's liquid. Gold bars do not travel through wires so it cannot be traded electronically in its physical form. That basically hands the entire market over to the derivitaves. Bitcoin on the other hand can be so there's a big damper effect on the futures "tail wagging the dog" scenario.




My guess is that these hedge funds might be buying bitcoin themselves, and hence the pumping, with so many green candles and no correction. Then they short it, using leverage to bet on a fall in CME, and thus making more money than a whale might do (due to the margin applied, and the ammount of money, as these hedge funds have millions at their disposal).

The question is: how low could it go, if they succeed? Where should we put buying orders? What would be the dip? And how can we instruct people who are buying now to hold it?

Also, how much would they affect the price, if most bitcoins are not on the exchanges?

Futures will also let large funds go long with ease and not have to worry about the holding and storage of bitcoin.  A big positive many have waited for.  Shorting is possible as well.  CME though limits the variance per day to 20% +/- the previous days close (reference value).  Thus it could go down max or up max 20% in one day for the contracts.  If they manipulated spot bitcoin value more than that it necessarily wouldn't benefit them.

Futures will be interesting to see.  Overall in time it should help here for a while increase price, and then allow for ETFs probably as early as Q1 finally now.  ETFs will then flood $$$ directly into the market directly as they will hold proportionally Bitcoin (and need to buy more, etc.).





Another question is how this manipulation will affect the altcoins.

The futures are only for bitcoin, but not for litecoin, dash, monero, etc. There might be one for ethereum in due time, but most altcoins will benefit if those hedge funds short bitcoin using leverage in cash. But as I say, they need to actually buy the coins and dump it in crypto exchanges to have a real effect on prices. Most bitcoins, however, are being hodled in cold wallets, so they cant buy all of them. Its not the same situation with gold, which is already controlled by governments and banks. So it is a diverse situation we should analyze carefully.

There has never been a crash that preserved more than 50% of the past ATH.

The user support is around 8k, and miner support is around 5k.

5k is nearly 1/3 of current price. This would be a massive crash already.

Next time dont go short, go long.

We just change the units. 1000 milibits = 1 bitcoin.

Near 45% valuation in Bittrex.

I hope it reaches 1/12 of a bitcoin. At least that was the historical value of silver in relation to gold, and if it is to be "digital silver", so it must rise to that value.

Now I'm thinking here, if the funds are dumping it right now to create panic and open the market for more institutions. So that when CME comes, it will be already dominated by them.

Ain't seen any mention of this. The Bulgarian authorities seized 213,000 bitcoins from some pesky criminals. I wonder how and where and over how long they gathered so many coins.

No doubt some pencil necks will insist they will dump all on Yobit.

Yea, I was surprised nobody was freaking out over a $3 billion govt dump.  It will likely be auctioned off like all other confiscations, but still, who the fuck wants to buy $3 billion of imaginary bitcoins using wealth that took generations to acquire?  Especially when you have things like bitcoin cash and all these other forks going on.  It's not longer safe to pretend there's only one chain.  You could be buying $3 billion of invalid chain lol.


A hedge fund can buy those coins from the bulgarian state and dump it selling contracts for shorts at CME, then apllying 10x leverage to win the bet and buy back the coins at a low price.

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?

The FUD is strong these days, almost reminds me when BCH was a thing XD


Some people might FUD because theres no clear explanation of how futures work, and we dont know who have been pumping bitcoin recently. It could be hedge funds who are going to sell contracts in CME, and we dont know if the banksters who are against bitcoin will be their clients or not. So some people are shorting, based in this fear, I think. If you are going to short, just short some small bit, hold the rest, because fiat is not worthy it, unless you really want it to pay bills.

yeah, they have no idea what they're dealing with. They are being pressured by their clients that want exposure to the price, but they can't cover losing bets when the price moves further than their margin limits can cover.

I'm sure there is enough demand from the customers to continue futures trading, but they will need to re-think their approach: just imagine - they broke their limit in about 4.5 hours... just imagine what might happen when they close shop for the weekend?


It is said they are going to use arbitrage. They will buy and sell from a real exchange and send it to futures.

I noticed the 20% limit on futures is not for the entire month, but for a single day.

That is, if bitcoin go to 18k, they can put +20% on it, for january 18th.

If it go to 20k in the next day, they can put more 20%.

They only halt the trade for that day, and continue on the next.

This will boost the bull run. Because they will be betting for a increase, and people will be buying more so that the bets are hit, thus increasing the bets for january 18th, creating a snowball effect.

Just HODL it.

So, it MUST have 1/12 value of bitcoin, because this was the historical value of silver in relation to gold. Silver was used in daily transactions, gold was for store of value.

If bitcoin is 17k now, then litecoin should be around 1.5k. Long way to go.

It's possible they will be like "hello goyim, too much liquidity has left the system and into bitcoin and caused it to collapse. We are now passing a law that you're not allowed to use bitcoin and must use federal reserve digital token instead".  Then they get their cashless society slave system + scapegoat for economic collapse in one swoop.  The plan probably wouldn't work, but these are psychopathic jewish money changers we're talking about here.


There should be some way for people to throw some weight against those hedge funds which are betting against bitcoin. The more adoption, the more will be stored in average Joe's hands.

The main issue, however, is fear. I saw Novogratz shorting, it was a massive red candle, from 11 to 9k. This was only one guy. Imagine if they do that in concert. They can provoke a lot of fear and make people panic sell.

So, thats what bitcoin is, just a speculative asset to increase fiat money. Digital currency? Just a dream.

People are in for profits, and only that. When we reach 2013 bubble levels, then there will be this massive sell-off, and we will be back to fiat, to taxes, to government control. Thats it.

It's not only about fees, it is about network congestion. I am hodling, but I hope every day for them to announce a blocksize increase as a temporary fix while we keep waiting for a working LN fully deployed. A small blocksize increase that we would need anyways even IF LN was already in place.

And no, for whomever is thinking so: BCH crapcoin is no solution... if Bitcoin fails ALL the crypto castle will crumble.


I'm for a blocksize increase to 2mb (not 8mb, as it was done by BCH). However, this was already planned for SegWit. If it was implemented, fees would be smaller.

It seems they are preparing the network for the coming of big institutional investors, who will move only large ammounts of money. For them, high fees will look small.

If Im not mistaken, LTC have SegWit by default. You dont need to mess with the console to use it.

If you think liquidity is an issue now. Just wait until the big boys start to realize they need to balance their holdings with actual BTC so that they can play in the market. All other alts will benefit.



The big boys just want to short it to the ground, to keep their status quo.

They will pump it, of course, but the dumps will be even worse. Get used to it, this will be normal now.

Do you think they want a rich Earth, where the work is done by robots and everybody lives in comfort? Thats a programmer pipe dream.

I'm all for a block size increase to 2mb. I just think that 8mb, as proposed by BCash, is too much, and will create more problems in the future, such as centralized nodes.

Lightning network is just one of many sidechains, and one which will atract institutional investors. I hope that in the future we will have lots of different sidechains, each for a function: one to buy a coffee, one for settlement between banks, one to buy cars, one to buy real estate, and each will have its own limits, and its own fees.

Right now BTC is holding the line pretty well, but I am getting the sense of fear and desperation in both the BTC and LTC subs. It's starting to feel a bit... impatient over there. It's a very different sentiment to that one in December. Either we've entered a new phase in crypto where one is going to need to be patient as the market caps are now much larger, or these impatient ones will be shaken out at losses at much lower prices.

226 bytes x 470 bytes / 100.000.000 x 14400$ = 15.29$.

And that's for the fastest type of transaction.

At 130 sat/byte you get a confirmation in ~3-4 hours and the fee is 4.2$.

Someone is miscalculating your fees, or you have a lot of dust amounts.


Do you have to assign a segwit address to get those fees?

Last time I sent from my QT wallet, I paid 0.00179btc for moving 0.18btc. By the current price this is 26$. It was a standard 6-block confirmation fee.

I hope it stops at 8k.

But it can go to 5k, due to the noobs panicking. Just look at the other threads.

Never invest what you cannot lose. Never go all in. Always start with 5-15% of what you have.

Always hold it, until it matches what you want to buy with it, something expensive, like a sports car or a house.

And even when it matches what you want, dont sell it all, only a small part. Plan for dozens of cars or houses, not just one. Plan for a retirement.

Bitcoin critics are buying it at this moment. People like Dimon and Buffet are buying it. They dont need to understand the tech, they have clerks to take care of it.

The problem with these noobs is that they put all their money on it. Everything, their entire wages go to it. That's the recipe for disaster.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg28305541#msg28305541


The bank gives you 1% interest for storing money on it, while it asks 10x that from one taking debt from it.

Do you see this happening with bitcoin? All I see is 1000% interest, you having control and responsibility over your own money and new technologies that can destroy the credit card oligopoly in the future.

There are some altcoins with lending systems, but they are very obscure and few people will use them. With bitcoin we finish usury as we know it.

My guess is that they dont try it anymore because most people on the internet dont use P2P. They prefer to pay with streamed applications, like Netflix for example.

The definition was changed by the money changers.  It used to mean in Luke Jr bible days just the charging of interest, then they changed it to "unreasonable interest" LOL.  Kind of like saying "rape" vs "unreasonable rape".  Usury is a form of slavery and it doesn't matter what the yield you're pulling is.


Usury is to lend money with interest. The current banking system was born from it.

Bitcoin, on the contrary, was born from resentment against the banking system, during the 2008-2009 crisis.

Bitcoin still dont have a lending system. So we cant classify it as a usury system, unless your /pol/ dictionary have changed its meaning. But by then, we would be speaking different languages, I guess.

My theory is slightly different: wall street started loading up on btc once futures were a sure fact, and kept pumping until it established an upward avalanche-momentum when even moms and pops started panic-buying btc above 10K. While the noobs were buying above 10-15K the sharks loaded up on shorts (btc futures are still mostly short), and then, when their target was hit at 20K they pulled the trigger unloading their "physical" btc making out like bandits both because they sold at the top their btc and even more from their futures short bets placed at the top. A perfect controlled demolition, which they will repeat until it works imho, that's why they will let the price pump again after the next futures expiration.


I have the same impression. Just compare October and November, you'll see that it spiked too much.

They dont need to have too much volume on the exchanges, just enough to trigger the noobs, to buy at first and then to sell.

So my guess is that after 26th, they will pump it again. But I doubt it will have the same effect this time. January always have crashes, they just intensified it.

Bitcoin price CRASH 'BLOODBATH': Cryptocurrency could drop 80% as tether criticism rises


Very toxic. It already dropped 60%. If it drops 80%, we would have a 92% drop since december.

That breaks all support levels. It would break 8k, 5k, even 3k. We would be at 1k.

Not even the bears take this seriously.

Fact is, the big banks, the big finance, they are pissed. They thought the pump and dump from november to january would break bitcoin. They thought futures would dump the price. But it still holds above 10k.

Or People woke up and suddenly felt the urge to move coins? Crash anticipation?



Actually they will spam it everytime they feel the price will be rising.

The mining cartel have a lot of bitcoin at their disposal. They can dump it anytime, to provoke a massive sell-off.

But when it wont work, they just spam the network to increase the fees, so the price wont go too high.

Now, looking at the last chart published by masterluc, where he shows some waves, we can see a pattern forming where bitcoin is going increasingly sidelined.

Maybe the intention is to stabilize the price, so that when LN is fully implemented, bitcoin can de facto become a currency. Who knows, I think its too early for that, bitcoin will still be a speculative asset for at least a couple of years.

Tether is not intended to be speculative. There's supposed to be $2.3B actual fiat backing it.

vs crypto "market cap", which is hugely speculative. It's not an actual valuation, it's simply supply x price.

So yes, the collapse of Tether could have a hugely disproportionate effect on the whole crypto market if it's backed by little to nothing.



Do you think theres enough fiat on the exchanges to cover 500 billion?

Do you think theres enough fiat in the entire world to cover the 1.2 quadrillion derivatives markets?

Lets suppose a scenario where everybody wanted to cash out bitcoin and every other crypto-currency, to sell it for fiat, all at the same time, every single holder.

So, 500 billion dollars would be withdraw in a single day.

Do you think the exchanges would have that amount of fiat money?

Same thing with tethers, or with derivatives. Theres not enough money on Earth to cover all derivatives contracts at the same time. And thats how modern finance works. If they work that way, why bitcoin could not?

Bitcoin is a new system of value. What about we invert the relationship?

Instead of bitcoin, fiat will be the speculative asset, and bitcoin the currency. What about it? Would you invest in fiat state-sponsored money? Hey, bears, I just found the market for you, its fiat currencies. Its always going down.

In your scenario the asking price would drop to something like $0.01, only a few people would sell at current market value. If there are not enough buyers then price would drop to 0 and people would be stuck with an illiquid asset. Exchanges would likely be okay.


But then it would not be 500 billion anymore.

See the point? Its the same with tether and any other speculative asset.

People are looking to bitcoin as a way to increase their fiat money, not as a way to get rid of it, with a new system of value. Thats why they panic sell, theres not enough adoption.

For bitcoin and the other cryptos to really value 500 billion, people should not sell it, but use it in place of fiat. So, its a technical problem, the fees and scalability.

However, people dont pay attention when this is fixed, when the mempool is cleared and you can send it with a lower fee, they only pay attention to the media FUD. I paid 29 satoshis per byte to send 0.01 some days ago, and it was fast, was confirmed in less than one hour. When the network is not spammed, it really works.

The problem is, the correction's just far to sharp and deep for it to be the start of a long term bear market. What's happened is it got overheated in December, then the bubble popped. Then shorters took control and it gets oversold. Then the short bubble pops and it generally ends up halfway up the retrace where it stabilises. So that would be around $13,800 if it spikes down to, say $8800.

If it really was the start of a long term bear, what usually happens is you get a bubble popping to, say 30%, 40% retrace, then a slow build up over a couple of months, then lower highs from there on for 6 months to a year. This isn't like that. It's a perfect bitcoin overheat retrace type correction (IMHO that is).


Well, theres a feel of "hybernation" in the air, seems the price is freezing and theres lower highs and a slow fall. Thats why I assumed we were in a bear market already, and the price would go full irrational to even 4k.

But you are implying theres a second bubble, in the opposite direction, a bear trap. Theres a lot of resistance and selling orders are quickly fulfilled, the whales cant short to where they want the price to be, hence this desperate FUD about a subpoena to Bitfinex from 6 december, timed exactly with CME settlement date. Thats why I believe we have a short bear trend, that it will last perhaps some weeks. When LN is released to the public, this trend might be over and price will go up again.

I did short a small fraction back in december, but it was to rebuy lower. However, I nearly got squeezed out. It wasnt panic selling, I was just trying a little increase on my humble stash (I usually do that with altcoins in Bittrex, in small quantities, but they were falling as well). Im a bad trader, and I believe the price will go to 25k in march.

I read that Alyssa also shorted a fraction, and then theres this guy, who probably sold in panic, and got from bull to bear in three topics:

I agree. This tether issue proves most users are still chained to the old system. They dont see bitcoin as a possible substitute for fiat currency in the future, but only as a way for quick profits. And this is bad, because it proves bitcoin was misunderstood.

If tether is backed by real dollars or not, bear in mind that fiat currencies are not backed by anything. People are failing to see this.

Bitfinex AND bitfinexed are both in on the plan.

They stall their audit and release the USDT in such a way to appear as shady as possible, meanwhile bitfinexed jumps up and down and waves his arms.

They sever ties with their auditor and gin up the old story about the subpoena as wall St dumps BTC.

Wall St buys cheap coins...we are here, or soon

Tomorrow Bitfinex/Tether release all accounting data and bank statements, tether is all backed

we all suffer neck injury

profit?





Makes complete sense. But then theres that people who will say this is a tin-foil hat conspiracy theory.

Sad, because I remember the 1st of August and it was memorable when bitcoin was above $3000.

Nobody is going to buy right now, because it keeps dropping.

Maybe Ifinex is doing this, selling their btc in other exchanges and provoking a snowball effect. They need the dollars to prove the tether is backed by them.

So 2.3 billion worth of bitcoins are being dumped.

I was thinking on selling to buy back lower, but who knows, it can stop right now and come back up.

It looks good?  It looks like a giant pump and dump scam to any outside observer who isn't retarded.  Now good old Scamfinex and their tethers are leading in price yet again and for some reason other exchanges follow it. Why exactly would an exchange that doesn't even have fiat withdrawals be the market maker?  In any normal market, that exchange would be completely ignored no matter if the price was $0 or $1 trillion.  


Bitfinex was probably behind this bear run. With the pressure from the regulators, they dumped their own coins in other exchanges, selling them for real dollars. They could not do that in their own exchange, it would be suspicious. Thats why their prices were higher.

Now I think they had made the money they wanted, to back the tether, and will do the audit. The world will see that tether is backed by real dollars, and tether holders will be safe. And of course, Bitfinex will print even more tether, to pump the price to 100k and beyond, with fake buy walls to spark FOMO.

the timing is actually important...they need to back before creating



Can you deposit and withdraw fiat in Bitfinex? I thought you had to buy tether first, because they had bank problems... I dont use that exchange.

If the institution that control tether dont have all the money they supposedly have, and have been accumulating bitcoin over time, they might be dumping it in other exchanges for real dollar, to back the tether. Maybe this is causing the price to go down, as they need to sell quick. And they can fake those books, if the time is required.

But this is just conjecture, we will never know the extent of it. One thing we know is this tether business is very fishy. If they have been pumping the price artificially all this time, they might be dumping it, and if this is true, it can create a signal for shortings in the future... every time some regulator talks about auditing Bitfinex, we will have a bear signal. This, of course, if everything ends well for all sides. Because in most cases, it dont.

You dont need to sell everything. You can sell a small part to buy back at the bottom.

Its the same way when you put 5-10% of your bitcoins in a altcoin exchange, you go there to increase your bitcoins, not because you have faith in some random white paper.

I've set my buy-back targets at 4500 USD or 8750 USD. It can hurt, or it can be a win. But either way, $ are in the bank.


I was searching for the mining cost in China. I read it was around $4,100, but it was a article from last year, dont know if its cheaper or expensive now. Coincidentally, this is the same price predicted by sgbett in the other thread.

4k seems fair as a absolute bottom. If it go lower maybe the miners will do something. Since China is banning mining (didnt check if this one is fake yet) and Russia are calling miners to work there, maybe we could take into consideration mining costs in Russia.

The despair phase is $2500, and return to the mean is $4500, the price bitcoin was to have without tether pump (according to the tether theory) and without interference from Wall Street (according to futures theory). That is, good old october organic price.

Force the old whales to dump it by pumping it to such a height, that they would be tempted to sell.

In this way, Wall Street would not have been dumping any time, but accumulating, first buying through the pump, second from the whales, and last from the panic sellers. Parallel to that, Ifinex would dump their btc for the tether audit as well, and WS would buy from them too. This is how they could dominate the market.

I just discovered a better way right now. You use two apps, Bither and Bitpie. In Bither you go to "import private key", write it there, then click on "get fork coins", select the coin you want, the private key, and then it will ask for a Bitpie address to send them. In Bitpie you create a new address, and the forks will already be there, just click on "receive" for each fork (each have a different color), and it will give you an address, then sent the coins from Bither there.

Now the question is where to sell these altcoins for bitcoins. SBTC and BCD have few exchanges, but they are closed for deposits right now.

Move your bitcoin to a new wallet before doing that.

The TA matches 2014 more than 2013. Actually it matches 2011 even more. And why do you assume 'wall street' wants to buy bitcoin? Wall street is already doing what they do best which is to divert attention away to their own fake derivatives, their own coins, and their own stocks.


Maybe they want bitcoin to cover those fake derivatives.

How many of those WS funds do you think are not doing exactly the same as tether do, but dont have any media exposure because it is common practice there?

Bitcoin is like a pure, pristine, untainted market to them.

Each Sunday at Bitfinex we have 15% drop, caused by 13-15K BTC sold more than bought. Who are these guys: miners, corporate accounts playing with lending/margin trading? Why they sell always on Sunday/Monday in the last months? I read a post in twitter that corporate accounts will be closed soon. May be this is the cancer that stops the bull runs.


They should stop lending and margin trading as well, at least until the market recovers. There are sharks in these waters and they will use all kind of leverage tools available to bring the market down. This is bad for bitcoin image, because it will scare the average joe, thus slowing adoption as a currency.

Double the price from 6 to 12, fall to 8, then double again to 16, fall to around 10, then double again to 20. How much time would this take?

I dont think we can reach 100k this year anymore. For that, we would be at 20k right now.

This is how ... Rough figures only.  All fits together if you consider my other prognosis : Not all alts are doomed (just most of them , numerically). Some will be in for very big rises : their market cap share will rise relative to BTC.


Very roughly :  BTC at ~2k = 40BN, Best 20 alts at $60BN total, gives a bottom of ~100BN.



How much time do you think we will be at 2k, considering the fundamentals and the increasing adoption by big investors?

I smell capitulation in the air.

I guess that we can agree that 2k will be the absolute bottom.

However, it is still not safe to short it, as there is this G20 summit which can end with some Giancarlo equivalent doing a nice speech for bitcoin, which will bring a new bullish signal, and this time it can come from the banksters themselves. Both CBOE and CME are going long.

This trend can reverse at any minute. So, if it is to buy, better to do it with spare money, than from shorting your current position.

Most of the ppl in Crypto (speculation) have a very short time horizon.  A days action may seem like a lot.

They find it difficult to see the longer term picture. That is why there is so much conflicting opinion.


A view on price always has the caveat of a time frame.



Its not only that. There is always this menace that bitcoin will be crushed to the ground by speculators, banks and governments, and will never rise again. Everytime someone talks about "regulation" is always posed as a threat, even if it would mean only regulating exchanges to halt crashes like this.

And when the bears made predictions, they always extend the timeframe of their bear market, to convince people their long positions are threatened. The bears use as a base for their predictions the Mt.Gox crash, which caused the 2013-2015 bear market, giving the impression it was three years, when in fact it was one year and some months (from last months of 2013 to first months of 2015). This is hammered constantly, and people are afraid to buy and lose money in the next day, which pushes the price down as there is no buying volume. Without this volume the price wont recover.

However, this is not 2014. We are in a different situation. There was no LN in 2014, no futures markets, no G20 hearings. You could not buy a car with bitcoin in 2014. So this bear market can revert at any minute, and no bear can predict it.

Everybody will say here this is tin-foil hat conspiracy theory.

But central banks can print money out of tin air, provoking inflation, which is in turn masked by the media.

You can see that people are always FUDing about tether, saying that is illegal and immoral for Ifinex to print it without a dollar equivalent, like it was a stupendous crime againt humanity.

However, when its central banks doing exactly the same, nobody cares.

So such cartels can run free. Thats how they dumped the gold market. Remember that a hundred years ago, gold was a store of value, and used as a protection against financial tyranny.

Now they are doing the same with crypto.

They print money out of tin air, buy bitcoin, then sell at low prices. Since every financial crisis is planned, this is good for their goals.

But hey, its a conspiracy. Trust the state and the banks, lets FUD about the immoral tether.

Not when they can provoke a massive panic selling, making the price drop to uncanny and unimaginable low levels.

Remember, they can print fiat money out of nowhere and at any time. Fiat money for them is infinite, and that's where most people base their perception of value.

The ensuing crisis from so much printing will be blamed on crypto, prompting legal persecution against it.

They were able to manipulate the price to below 8k in a matter of months. And this with only 10% of volume in the exchanges, the rest locked in personal wallets.

The solution is for the exchanges to create a private conclave and put a stop to it, blocking any trade below the mining value, with full authority and in a very artificial and biased way. This should be a international private conclave to protect crypto against the sharks from the banks and governments.

If they print money to feed their short positions then we print tethers to feed our longs.

Thats why the exchanges need a conclave. They need to devise a plan to stop those sharks.

One way is to print tether by the trillions, without any fiat equivalent. No auditing will be possible. There will be layers after layers of overseas business to mask it. Everytime bitcoin drops, Ifinex could print 1 trillion tethers and no fucks will be given. The sheep who keeps complaining about it can go back to their masters, we dont want them in cryptospace.

The issue with gold and silver is that they cant be artificially printed. They are physical. Bitcoin is not, and here's a advantage, we will be playing in the same field the banksters are. There's a limit to bitcoin, but not to tether.

It will be a money printing war. Maybe at the end of it we can even save the precious metals as well, if we peg them to bitcoin instead of the dollar.

Seven years. They are dumping the gold and silver markets for seven years.

The guy from the article says to not sell, but at the same time recommends STFR. Is he meaning for a buy back?

But if the banks can do that for seven years with gold and silver, they can do the same with bitcoin. They dont need the asset, they just need to suppress it so that people go back to fiat. They can keep doing this forever.

Someone need to turn on that tether printing machine. If four trillion tethers are printed, and without any fiat backing it, bitcoin can be artificially pumped, and the short positions will be crushed. This will force the banks to go long to cover their expenses, reverting the situation.

The ideal would be a Local Bitcoins version that could be stored in a P2P format. In this way, there would be no worrying about the site going down, hacker attacks and regulatory headaches like KYC. Also, there would be fees only for the transfers (mining fees). You would have a SPV-like wallet for each coin, pegged to this blockchain, and after synching, you would be able to trade each coin, and made deposits in fiat in the same way you can do in Local Bitcoins.

The double bottom was denied. We are going straight to hell, that's it, $1k and the three-digits nightmare train.

I hope you didnt go all-in. Thats the problem with permabulls, they go all-in and when such crash happens, they cant buy the dip.

With the permabears its the same, they sell everything, get squeezed and then become preachers of doom. Rest assured that bitcoin will recover, as it recovered in 2011 when it had a similar crash.

Transacting with russians is not the same as transacting with the Kremlin politicians and its oligarchs.

One of the sides might try to censor the blockchain itself, and turn bitcoin illegal. I dont know if this would be bullish or not, since during the China and Korea FUDs, the price dropped.

I won't.



Only the whales will sell below $6k. The panicked newbies are already out for a long time.

They can dump as much as they want. I will be ready to buy when it touches $4k.

I don't think we left the bear market since $20k. We still have a long way down before starting another path to ATH. Have we seen enough blood on the streets? No. $6.6k was nothing. It was a fun walk in the park. Wait and see what'll happen when we go sub $3k and only then, we'll moonshot to $100k.


$6.6k was something. Just look at the dozens of threads of despaired newbies in this forum. We all know its annoying.

Expect triple of that if we reach $2k.

Of course they are fake. Area 51 is off-limits to anyone, and it is in Nevada, which have the same arid soil of Mars. You just take some pictures there and add a red tint, then you have Mars.

- Bitcoin Cash 25%

Probably they have it split all over thousands of masternodes. I guess that is the main reason the distribution "looks" so good.

In reality, we are comparing oranges to apples here.



I had forgot about the masternodes. Those nodes are a kind of centralization, as only those with a thousand dash coins can set them.

So, bitcoin is the most decentralized currency, if we take that into consideration.

«Only bitcoin is pure digital gold… and I totally buy into that. All the others tend to give up some of the aspects of bitcoin. For example, being totally decentralized and having no central control. That’s the first one they have to give up to try to have a business model»

Its not a issue if central banks do this all the time.

Since nobody complains about central banks printing money out of thin air, I think its fair to not complain about a private company printing tether out of thin air.

If you complain about tether printing, but dont complain about fiat printing, then you are an accomplice of the fiat system.

If you get scared and don't use segwit addresses, then segwit adoption will slow down and eventually we'll go back to where we have started and then they'll be pushing for a block size increase again.


I dont use segwit for storage, not because of the FUDsters, but because it was not clear if the segwit adress use the same private key of the legacy adress that was used to create it, or if it dont have a private key at all. Since this was never cleared, I keep the cold storage in legacy adresses. Today, this dont make too much of a difference, since the fees are very low.

A legacy address start with 1, a segwit start with 3. This was technically cleared, and it dont matter when the address was created.

The polarization between left and right is a thing of the past.

Its the first time I see a leftist holding bitcoin. Its not impossible, and actually, it mades sense, if we think that some leftists hate the banking system, and bitcoin came to replace it.

Now the division is between bitcoiners and nocoiners. And the polarization is much higher than the one between left and right. The nocoiner hates bitcoin with a passion, the price can go to three digits and he still will not buy it.

Most nocoiners are also young people, and they have a faith in the State at religious levels. To follow the example of their masters, they acquire debt, lots of it, and live through it in a monastic way, like it was a path to illumination. The religious precept of the nocoiner is "liberation through debt".

The question is why would it ever drop to 0. Why would anyone ever let that happen? If they wont, which it is reasonable to assume that they wont, then wont this thing grow forever?


If the almighty State-god can do that... printing money without any real value (and anchored in debt), and nobody complains about it (and some even praises it, in some cases), then cryptocurrencies can do the same, a thousand times over, and nobody will be able to complain as well.

Morality is made by example.

Theres no panic right now. Panic was what happened in December and January, but not today.

I have been checking the sheeple in some other places, and all of them only think of bitcoin as a highly speculative asset. They are selling at the minimal sign of 5% profit. They dont want to use it in the future, so no holders are selling. You dont have panic when all the sellers are shorters, what you have is manipulation and pettiness.

The only thing that I'm uncertain of is whether these dumps are being started by the imbeciles that I was talking about above or by Tether and Bittfinex, two entities that for some reason, nobody can stop.


I dont believe that Ifinex is provoking this fall. In my opinion, its the investment funds which operate in CBOE and CME which are dumping bitcoins to win their bets in these fiat casinos. Even some mining companies might be involved in these schemes.

If Ifinex is having any participation in this, is because it stopped printing tether at will, and is using this fall as a smoke screen to get rid of subpoenas. Morally speaking, I dont see any issue with tether printing, since governments do that everyday and nobody gives a fuck about it.

This is what worries me (apart of lack of humor or differences in humor perception): redditers are still bullish, very bullish.. too bullish. And not only redditers, but here in BCT too - no despair traces are visible en masse. No despair - no trend reversal, and I wonder how long this market can drop until people finally panic. I understand it is hard to shake out old Bitcoiners, but the new entrants should have already started to capitulate. But nope - even those who think Bitcoin will drop further, are setting 3K target, and expect moon then (in ~2 years). This particularly should mean the 3K bottom is to never happen - as too much people expect it. Bitcoin should either bounce noticeably higher or noticeably lower. Given the absence of despair now, I start to think it could go lower... which is highly undesirable scenario as I see it, as it will punch through weekly MA200 then, and also its will be disaster for miners and many crypto businesses.

But I am not really social media aware guy, and I may easily miss something. So... a question: did anyone see traces of mass panic in social media, enough to call it a mass sentiment..?

P.S. Please don't call me FUDder. Yes, I am not a bull now, and I miss TERA2 here, but I am just expressing my own concern, and will be genuinely interested in what people here think of this.



How many times do we have to repeat that bitcoin is not a ordinary asset? That bitcoin exchanges are not the stock markets? That bitcoin is not a company, and not a product?

Bitcoin is a currency, and it is extremely disruptive, as it is not controlled by any nation-state.

This nocoiner mentality is depressing. You just see bitcoin as a vehicle, a tool, to make more fiat money.

You dont believe that, in the future, you could buy a house with a single bitcoin. And without the need to sell it in the first place.

Thats why people are not panicking, and you dont see massive panic sell. The guys from Wall Street were probably expecting it when they implemented futures markets for bitcoin, to drive the price down.

Metals are controlled by TPTB. There is even a esoteric belief that gold can store souls, and that silver can nullify magic, so TPTB let it stay in their big vaults, and manipulate the price using derivatives. They crashed gold and silver with futures markets, and after that, implemented ETFs.

They are going to do the same with bitcoin. Craig Wright is dumping for the bankers. Look at the low volume, its all orchestrated. When the public lose interest in it, they will pump the price with a ETF, and it will be as tight-controlled as gold is. KYC is already becoming as tight as any stock market registration is.

The biggest catalyst that'd make BTC price skyrocket higher is simply move all your BTC to your PERSONAL bitcoin wallet (move off of Coinbase, Binance, Bitfinex, Square, Robinhood, CBOE/CME futures).

Fractional reserve, BTC lending, rehypothication is a bitch and can perpetually create no floor for prices by establishment market manipulators.

Plus if history is any indication, one these avenues will blow up and wreck the "holders" of bitcoin that really wasn't there because they failed to take such advice.

It is probably the latter but who knows... this is bitcoin. Anything can happen.


We will probably be back to the 6000's, but there will be resistance around 5k, maybe five or six weeks swinging on it.

At least, this will confirm that 3000 was the real bottom, and price cant go down any further. It will be more safe to buy, I guess.

It Could Take Bitcoin 22 Years to Retest Its ATH: UBS Analyst

Quote


Quote
The fact that Bitcoin saw its price breaking above $5,000 at the beginning of April made everyone highly optimistic about the prospects of a full-fledged bull run. However, crypto bulls shouldn’t hold their breath since it could take decades for the number one currency to recover from its epic downfall.


Bitcoin compared to other bubbles
After comparing Bitcoin to other bubbles, UBS analyst Kevin Dennean came to a conclusion that BTC will most likely follow their lead, Business Insider reports.
However, here’s a catch – Bitcoin will have to undergo a long-lasting recovery, so it is not reasonable to expect another bull run in the nearest future. For comparison, it took the Dow Jones Industrials 22 years to reach its previous peak.   




https://u.today/it-could-take-bitcoin-22-years-to-retest-its-ath-ubs-analyst



Bitcoin moves five times faster than gold. So... four years and a half to ATH, at worst case scenario.

BTC blockchain was taking 180gb some time ago, and now is taking 230gb. This means BTC already increased block size, so there is no need for this big blocker melodrama. If the block size keeps increasing, I will not be able to run my full node, leading to centralization in the hands of those who can afford it.

If we can stay above 6K for 40 days then I believe we get all time highs this year. If not then I expect to see a ferocious dump back to 5k or less.

Either way this pump is a lot of fun and everyone will know if we dump that its just a blessing to get cheap coins and not the path to 1500 and final capitulation.

Craig was an informant who helped bring down Le Roux, and after his arrest, Craig managed (via long time friend and partner in crime, Dave Kleiman) to get his hands on the wallets that hold a million bitcoins, but unfortunately for Craig, all of Solotshi's coins are locked away in secure TrueCrypt volumes (TrueCrypt being another software that Le Roux developed). He has been trying for years to crack them but with no success.

Another of Craig's long time friends, Calvin Ayre, has set up warehouses of computers to try to crack Solotshi's password and unlock the vast fortunes; his mining activity is simply a front to make these massive datacenters look legitimate. Craig is being set up as 'the real satoshi' so that when the coins are finally unlocked, they can legitimately sell them off."


Was someone able to break TrueCrypt? It was discontinued in 2014 but it is used to this day. It is said that not even the NSA can decrypt it.

I still believe that Satoshi was Dave Kleiman. He died in 2013, thats why he disappeared.

This thread in 4chan is probably a drill for the "gotsatoshi" website, which I believe is a psy-op to create massive FUD. They will probably put a terrorist or a criminal as the "true" Satoshi, so that governments have a casus belli against bitcoin and outlaw it.

The typical bear sell all his stash with a 5% increase.

A correction in a bear market is the opposite of what it is in a bull market. Since we are far away from a 5% increase, we cant be in a bear market anymore.

There are currently only 2.8-3.5 mil btc owners with more than 1 BTC.
I doubt that there will be many more.
Compare it to more than 40mil millionaires in the World and about 5 million millionaires with wealth above 5mil (3.2885 mil with wealth of $5-10mil).
So, basically, having ONE btc is the equivalent (in rarity) of having $5-10mil in fiat wealth.

Whatevaaa happens one would not like to end up with a 50% loss of stack


Cost-average is the best solution for that. If you buy small quantities periodically, the loss on correction is covered by previous acquisitions.

It's great that a city has many merchants that accept Bitcoin, the only thing missing in this, is barely anyone is spending their Bitcoins to buy things. Everybody just in hodl mode. If we want true adoption start spending and paying for things in BTC.

One problem with these analysis based on previous cycles is that they dont consider social and political impact, like the trade war between US and China, and sanctions against Russia and Iran, for example.

Thats probably the reason why this cycle started earlier, and will go much higher than what the bears who talk about "diminishing returns" are predicting.

Well....

1) I dunno. The pervasive narrative in this here space is that everything out of Craig's mouth is either: a lie, or; simply wrong. As such, how could anything he say undermine the legitimacy of the sector?
OTOH, if he has the capability to carry out such a threat, how would his huge advance warning not be a good thing?

2) I dunno again. Before vanishing, Satoshi revealed very little of his personal proclivities. I see no evidence therein to support the notion that he might not use his substantial war chest in order to tilt the market in favor of what he perceives as the more faithful rendition of his ideals. What exactly am I missing in his writings?


But if he crashes the market, BSV will also go down with it.

My guess is that he wants people to have some doubt and hedge in BSV just in case he crashes the market. But their fork war with BCH brought every coin down, including BSV.



477. Post 51273888 (copy this link) (by fabiorem) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_16.48h):

I decided to get my hands dirty and experimented BSV yesterday.

So I bought some BSV in Bittrex, and sent it to a Exodus wallet. It was the first time I was using a Exodus wallet. The transaction was quite fast, but by then there were not many people moving BSV in the exchanges.

Today I saw the price skyrocket. So I thought that the BSV network would be under stress.

I decided to sell, as I would get 0.03BTC more for the trade. First I tried to send 0.1BSV to Bittrex, just to test it. 30 minutes passed, the amount got stuck in the network.

Then I noticed the Exodus wallet have a built-in exchange function. Not exactly like a exchange with a order book, but kinda in a OTC model. They charge a fee and exchange your coins in a way similar to Shapeshift.

So I go for it.

One hour passed. I contacted the support, which was very kind and responsive. The coins were stuck in the BSV chain, not the BTC chain. Only four confirmations after one hour.

Two hours later my BTC funds arrived. The support warned me by email. I reopened Exodus and the BTC was there.

So this is BSV. Judge by yourself.

The bear will say it was Exodus.

Then I bought those 2btc for $5k each and I still consider myself lucky. If I ever catch $5k, I'll probably buy another 2. (or might even go all in but that's a bit unlikely)

I wouldn't say pegged so much as reactionary to bitcoins movements.  But during the long bear market from 2013 -2016, most alts were decimated until bitcoin revived.  but a few good alts emerged during the bear market, ETH, Monero ect.  



I asked in the altcoin forum if someone was making money out of Storj, which have a proposal similar to Siacoin.

Nobody answered. These projects are dead. Im not saying the idea of renting your disk space is bad, though.

They are, because their price is suppressed by the fiat system, which is based on unpayable global debt.

The only thing that can free PMs values is to change the fiat system to a bitcoin system. In this way, governments would have to sell their gold for bitcoin, thus increasing gold price.

But then, you are against bitcoin, so I understand you are on the side of the fiat system, that is, you enjoy PMs price suppression by paper derivatives.

These "studious" investors that did their homework, do appear to have been suckered in for an 80% or more loss.  
However one glimour of hope I see, is the potential of approx 75% increse one year on from the 3rd halving,  call it the halving period average price.
So thats the potenial of an average price of about $11900 from 2021 onwards!?  

But that only applies if all is as perfect as possible!  I can't see it happening, that will be well over a decade and if still no signs of bitcoin adoption (i've still not been able to buy a single product at high street retail with bitcoin in the EU since 2012 when i got involved)

Whatever bitcoin was supposed to be, a currency or store of value, it's still not widley addpoted and heavily flawed.

Based on that and other TA and oppinions I've seen, looks like 2 more years of the bear market.  $2600 best case scenario or lower probable bottom.


Shelby Moore believes its going to $775, and links it with the scenario of a hard fork.

I believed in a three-digit scenario last year, but then the market recovered and we got out of the "despair phase" in the standard bubble chart. As you can see, the black line marks the mean value. We are already in a new cycle, and possibly in the "first sell off" phase.

For this reason I dont believe, right now, that we will see 3k again. We can still fall to 5k, though.

I believe we are going to see a bear trap in the coming weeks.

3k is not possible anymore, the rise from there was organic. It was different in 2017, when hedge funds were buying (after the BCash fork) to feed the futures markets in December. Back then, the price didnt have any time to test the 8k level, like we are seeing now.

A lot of people buy solely because they think the halving is some type of guaranteed pump and dump profit. 


This is the effect of the hype train. The bull market came earlier than in 2015, so we cant predict how long will be the current cycle. It could end in 2020 or 2022, despite the halving.

Shelby sent me a PM rectifying what he wrote. He said the $775 price would come in one year, but only for what he deems as the Core version of bitcoin (after his hard fork scenario). The miner version, he said, would be one million.

It's just weird. We are literally at the forefront of a technological breakthrough that could revolutionize the world, we stand to become filthy rich if things play out as they have been, we are the one percent of the one percent. We know how the tech works. And people keep paying fucking attention to scammers. WHY?!


Zeroes on the left, thats the reason. You might think its insane, but most newbies feel poor because of the zeroes. Thats the reason why they flock to Ripple and other shitcoins. They need the single unit on their faces. The zeroes remind them that they lost the earlier trains. Also this is the reason why the nocoiners call bitcoin a Ponzi scheme.

Adopt the bit as the standard. Each bitcoin have one million of bits. If the exchanges, wallets, etc, put the bit as the default, maybe the scams will have less attention.

You could argue that bitcoin in its current form IS a fork but that's okay, it has a pretty good consensus. As long as that consensus doesn't fracture too much we can keep this delusion going. IF we could keep this delusion, the one that says "bitcoin is special because we need it to be special", going that would be wonderful for global commerce and wellbeing, and so far we have been able to do it.


About these forking issues, the majority of bitcoin miners have signalled Segwit in 2017. I dont believe they will leave the consensus they agreed upon, and if they do, I believe they will warn it first.

Money is based on consensus, without consensus there is no money.

This is an interesting comparison and shows you just how scarce Bitcoin actually is.
I feel like a Bitcoin Duke now, ruling over his duchy, trying to increase the size of the land I'm ruling over by trading altcoins.
If you do the actual math it's ~751 acres of habitable land, for each bitcoin which is the same as 530 football fields.


Actually, 751 acres is equivalent to 6.25 hides, which would give you the title of knight.

I thought about that myself, recently. 0.1btc would give the owner citizenship in a future bitcoin citadel. Between 0.1 and 1btc you would have the title of knight, then, increasing in multiples of ten, baron, count, duke, and king.

The Boomer Panic (tm) Indicator is my favorite one.

When boomers on twitter start celebrating how Bitcoin is dead = the bottom's in and it's time to accumulate.

When they start panicking = the next bull run towards ATH begins.

The question is, at what point do those guys admit that they are wrong? How many ATHs does it take specifically? Or do they perpetually stick around like our resident Peter Schiff realr0ach?



They dont, thats why they are called "boomers". Its not related to generation anymore, but to technological backwardness.

From what I understood, libra poses a threat to tether, not to bitcoin.

There is a difference between a digital currency and a crypto currency. Libra looks more like the first case: it dont have privacy, it is centralized, and have the characteristics of a bank account.

Any fiat currency can be digital, if you use debit cards instead of bank notes. However, if libra dont have the absurd fees banks charge for international transfers, then it will have an advantage over fiat, but still its not a crypto currency.

Coin Desk: Traditional Money Could Be ‘Surpassed’ By E-Money, Stablecoins: IMF Paper

Quote
A new paper from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) suggests that cash and bank deposits could be left behind as digital money and fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies see greater adoption.

Quote
Banks should be able to stage a fightback against such payment upstarts, offering better services or similar electronic money products, the note continues, but policymakers are warned that some disruption is likely within the banking industry. Even so, banks are likely here to stay, as firms offering these new payment methods may move to become banks themselves and use their data advantage to offer targeted credit.

The original paper can be found here:
The Rise of Digital Money



Interesting.

There is no real opposition between cryptocurrencies and banks in a conceptual level. This opposition only appears in a political level, because the "old guard" of bankers cant adapt to the new technologies. As I already said before, politics is a bad thing, and bitcoin should stay above it.

I swerved to miss them and broke my pinky finger in the process, from turning the handlebar so quickly. Unfortunately I plowed into a counter-protesting crowd of loose women, taking out their leader, who happened to be roach's mom. It was all a blur of tramp stamps, cleavage and Pabst cans* after that point.

No really, I'm lucky that I've never almost died. Unless you count ego death from a couple of psychedelic overdoses and then the one time I almost had a heart attack after inhaling 3 bongloads of homemade crack.

How Government Agencies Make Criminals of Crypto Traders



Article source: https://news.bitcoin.com/how-government-agencies-make-criminals-of-crypto-traders/

IRS has begun sending letters to virtual currency owners advising them to pay back taxes, file amended returns; part of agency's larger efforts

The IRS started sending the educational letters to taxpayers last week. By the end of August, more than 10,000 taxpayers will receive these letters. The names of these taxpayers were obtained through various ongoing IRS compliance efforts.

For taxpayers receiving an educational letter, there are three variations: Letter 6173, Letter 6174 or Letter 6174-A, all three versions strive to help taxpayers understand their tax and filing obligations and how to correct past errors.

Taxpayers are pointed to appropriate information on IRS.gov, including which forms and schedules to use and where to send them.

Good questions. The shills from the BSV camp want bitcoin to be a centralized, corporate tool. This is one of the reasons people dont believe CSW is Satoshi.

I read somewhere that CSW has in his possession a wallet belonging to Satoshi or one of his close friends (can't remember the details). He is currently using a huge computer farm to brute-force it open and get hold of the private key. His friend, pedophile Calvin Ayre is funding and helping him do it.

I wonder what will happen if they manage to crack that wallet. CSW will be able to "prove" he's Satoshi by signing a message using the cracked private key.

Well, I don't think it'll be so easy to crack the wallet anyway, so nothing may happen. But it's interesting to know what they're up to. Maybe that's why CSW said that 2019 will be the year that BTC will die...


If Satoshi is Paul Le Roux, then this wallet is in the hands of the CIA, not CSW.

It is said this wallet is protected by TrueCrypt, so only a quantum computer will be able to crack it.

I suspect that such a wallet (belonging to Satoshi or a close friend of his, and in the possession of CSW) may not even exist, and it may all be CSW spreading fear and misinformation, which is what he usually does, has done many times in the past, and is something that fits his character and methods very well (I know, your grandma taught you to ignore human behaviour, but...), so all is good in the BTC camp.


There is another theory: the first million coins cant be moved, due to being part of the protocol. They were created to secure mining, so even if the password is cracked, they wont be moved.

Encryption Ban in United States Threats Telegram, Whatsapp, Signal and Threema

Companies like Apple, Google and Telegram could soon face anti-encryption demands from the government. Democrats and Republicans within the Senate support the new draft bill. They call it the Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies (EARN IT) Act. Thanks to the act, the law enforcement agencies will read communications of people thanks to the presumable encryption ban. In such a case, anyone outside the NSA will see what you send via messengers with ‘build-in end-to-end encryption

Ok, this seals it for me, the bio-engineered virus is a spook operation for sure. Probably CIA is only agency with access to such bio-weapons or authority to commandeer such access. NSA is branch of army so maybe them too but unlikely to get involved. May even be a rogue branch that 'slipped up' while doing their hidden masters bidding from the seat of the UN or some other global secret society power, e.g. Fabians.


The virus was engineered by a laboratory in Wuhan, and includes parts of tuberculosis and HIV. However, most of those reported with the virus dont have it, and most deaths also have nothing to do with it. Basically, anyone dying from pneumonia or from a cold is being marked in hospitals as a victim from the virus. The virus is real, but the pandemic is fake.

The ones who died in China, however, were infected by it. Since its a hybrid virus, it needs a push to work properly, and this was done with the 5G installed in Wuhan. The process of electroporation allows for remote control of the virus, through the use of nanomilimeter waves. These waves can penetrate the body and reach the cells, but they need an agent and a transmitter, in other words, the virus and the 5G cellphone.

The chinese population was vaccinated against coronavirus in December 2019.
