Yeah, who would sell, when we know it's going to da mooooon!
Honestly though, who is selling right now? Who has been in this long (assuming they have) and doesn't just want to sit back and watch?
Well said.
I'm a bit later to the game. Started on board at 59 Euro, though I tried buying long before that but there were just no places easily accessible here in Germany.
Anyway, after experiencing the recent bubble, I am now in a place of mostly calm when dips happen. I know enough about BTC to know that if the price
crashed I would load up (in the absence of terrible news anyway.)
But as they say, you are fine until suddenly you aren't fine. 2011-08-02.

Sort of: Trust them to say the exact opposite of what they are doing. They are actually the best indicator of the opposite of what's going to happen.

Bottom will be touched when people stop talking about "cheap coins" and talk about "dead coins" instead.
Somewhere between $9 and $49 I think...
Shh! 50 is their white knight in shining armour, don't take that away from them.

The whale who bought at 95 with slippage to 110 isn't going to be too happy I think. Will he cut his losses and sell?
Not enough slippage for him. Wait until the order book is razor thin, then retardo-whale will strike

Plus you can do an international bank transfer instead of a SEPA one, and that shouldn't take more than 48hs.
I kinda agree with QuestionAuthority that Gox is being artificially sustained. I'm not so sure who's doing it tho.
I thought the whole thing was that Gox had suspended their wires, hence people were crowding the exits at the other exchanges.

Plus, if you want to sell putting up a buy wall seems like seriously outthinking yourself.
IMO its simple, some guy wants to buy, he puts wall up, damn, nobodys selling at that price, removes it, hopes that price falls, it doesn't, oh well no harm done, up goes the wall.
How innocent of him.

1k buy came from the wall that was pulled at 67, just FYI.
1 minute after it was pulled, market order of same/very close USD went thru.
So, how long before that guy capitulates and eats into the 70 wall?

1500BTC ask wall at 70 on bitstamp. Bitstamp is leading the down move. mtgox won't have any option but to follow behind.
This will go lower on both exchanges, and fast...
yes..

It surprises me the number of coins still in the 130 region. Those appeared I think after 136 fell, and they've just stuck there. Either somebody is very patient, or somebody is going to panic sell at some point.

he just swallowed 750 coins and now put up the 8k wall again at 76
edit: it's almost like he's taunting that 80 wall showing he can eat it

Not much going on in here so I might as well throw this question out:
If you want to buy for a large amount, say between $ 50k and $ 200k, what is usually the be way to buy them on the exchanges?
By announcing on a public forum when you're going to buy and at what price you're prepared to buy. Posts on this thread such as, "Wow, get ready for the big one," will suffice just fine though.

This has been happening for a few days. Gox has appeared to just be ignoring (and inevitably someone eats down the wall).

Almost everyone is a bull here, even during a megadump like this one.... uhm...
Being bearish right now is almost equal to being a retarded. The price recovered after a 50% crash (900-450) and we just had a nice consolidation phase in which the bid side was replenished and the confidence restored.
In the meanwhile, the Senate legitimates BTC and the media exposure is huge. Big money wants in. Billionaires are coming.
And pigs are slaughtered, and weak hands shaken off.
Yep, the stage looks set for another massive rise. I originally called $1700 on this, but I'm beginning to think I was being too conservative.

Bitstamp´s small orderbook will be wrecked in the next hours. I can´t see us going down slowly anymore.
After 380$ is done the floodgates will be opened and we will probably see some real huge red candles.
I think we might get near the real bottom in the next 2-3 days, wherever that is.
70-80$ eventually will hold!
My guess is a bottom higher than this. My eye has been on $200 since the bubble, if only as a psychological barrier and one where sufficient 'compaction' would occur.
A break below the Silk Road bust of $85 would seem to nullify the entire rise and presage lower lows. I'd imagine obituaries being written.

Wow, I just had a look at the (extremely shallow, much moreso than BTC-E) order book of BTCChina and the "volume" (supposed to be x10 that of BTC-E) that it has. It's clear that almost all of it is fake.
Seems like fonzie is right, someone's trying to induce "arbitrage" and buy at other exchanges.
It is called 'speculative arbitrage', but please do not consider volume 'fake' - if it has consequences to you it ain't fake
I'm not sure that it does have consequences. What happens is magic buy and sell orders happen in the spread. These bids and aks never appear on the orderbook, and you'll never actually eat into one, even if it seems you placed your order beforehand. The stuff is indistinguishable from make-believe and that's probably because it is.

No no, orders are placed and consumed within the timeframe it take to bitcoinwisdom to update the book/trade history.
I've never seen it on their own orderbook either. Their whole site is a lag fest, yet these orders consistently get placed and consumed instantaneously with zero effect on the price. Maybe they are somebody using the API to buy and sell their own coins, although there should be a risk there that the two orders don't get placed consecutively and somebody else puts in a bid or ask, but I've never seen this - it always appears to be a riskless, inconsequential operation.

New 12-month low on Litecoin, breaking the 50K dumper's 2.212. Perilously close to all time low LTC/BTC ratio of 0.0075 as well. Guess we'll see some misbegotten panic buying then some new stomach-churning lows.

Also if credit card and banks were so paranoid about security it would avoid many headaches for most of his customers and for themselves too
Seriously, someone explained why @theymos disabled avatars: because of a post out there showing that one can hide javascript in headers of image files.
However, he must have misread that post. It said that the hacker can post an HTML page containing a tag <script src="logo.gif"></script> and put malicious javascript inside the gif file. When victims download that page,the javascript obviously gets executed.
But the only bad thing about that is: if an admin is trying to analyze a malicious webpage and is looking at the javascript files it downloads, he may miss that one, because its name ends in ".gif" instead of ".js", and it can even be displayed as an image (for instance, in a previous <img src="logo.gif"/> tag).
However, that risk does not exist for this forum. The forum's HTML pages are not served by the hacker, only by the bitcointalk server; and they will not have <script> tags with avatars in them, only <img> tags.
To be doubly sure, the forum server could just pipe every uploaded image through a format conversion (e.g. GIF to PNG). That conversion would mangle any javascript hidden in the header, so that it would not work even if used in a <script> tag.
The forum got hacked by exploiting improper sanitisation of images. If I understand it right, somebody managed to upload a .php file.

So you see nothing extraordinary in someone on a public forum saying:
"Take the Bulltard's head and just..."
, and then showing a gif where a mans head is ripped off with the innards showing?
The main problem wasn't really the gory gif, although there is a difference between people and roadkill. The main problem was that he suggested that this should be done to people on this forum.
No, that seems very ordinary. Now, if he had suggested building Saddam's supergun, boring their bodies down into cylindrical projectiles and firing their machined corpses 200 miles into the sky, that what be extraordinary.

It only applies to those curently offered hardware prices.

Heh, we still have to test support here, but I just can't see where support will lie if we break. There's 120 and 100, but that implies a 100% deflation of the 1000+ bubble, something that would imply lower prices. One thing is for sure, a dip down below 50 would cause

sort of predictable result.
Loony left will win. They won't be able to renegotiate their loans to any great extent. They will not risk leaving the Euro. Loony left have to come to terms with the reality of speeding too much and not earning enough.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. Tsipras had ample opportunity in the past to compromise, and he didn't. In any case, the Euro isn't necessarily the best thing for Greece. They needed to devalue their currency, instead what they're getting is fiscal tightening and the multiplier effect.

EDIT : The market priced BTC at $1200 a year or so ago and here we are at $220, so I would not place too much faith in it as a guiding light. The market is made up of humans and will always be subject to their whims. In their day, 'the markets' placed 'the earth is flat' as a near certainty. And there were no black swans, only white ones, until somebody first saw one, in Australia, I believe. Lots of theories as to why there were none, but in the end, all nonsense.
As an aside, this one is actually a popular misconception. People have known the Earth was round since at least the time of ancient Greece. Eratosthenes famously calculated the circumference of the globe.
This myth apparently began in an American biography of Christopher Columbus, where the man sets sail to defend his position of a round Earth against the prevailing medieval beliefs.

Seems like that will have made a very solid bottom (I'm calling it a top for the current crop of fiat currencies).
So, as more coins are mined, we can keep hitting lower lows without reaching a lower 'market cap' ... interesting, never thought about it like that before
It's an interesting observation, but aren't bottoms about the psychology of the players, i.e. that they missed their opportunity for accumulation at level x.

I heard people say the same thing when Lehman/sub-prime mortgage fiasco was happening, those same people still cannot figure out (7-8 years later) why they are working more, earning less, why their house is worth less, why their chicken and shopping costs more.
Greece does not operate in a vacuum, plus, make no mistake, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy are all looking very closely at what is happening, they also do not operate in a vacuum.
Even if there is a last minute compromise reached this week, even then, the future of Greece in the Euro is looking shaky. Elections coming up in other southern European countries soon too.
If you are in a position to be isolated and immune from the global financial situation, then bully for you, but while the world will not cave in on itself, neither will a grexit be an isolated event that effects only the Greeks.
Yep, good post. It destroys the irrevocability of currency union. The ramifications of this will be disastrous. Greece may not be the bomb, but it will be the fuse for sure.

The number of goths leaving gothdom (eg to get married, take up jobs etc) seems to perfectly match the new numbers joining (ie from the 13-18 age group). So at any time over the last 50 years the same number of goths seem to be walking around.

I'm currently trading this. My guess is up. It's a classic ascending triangle trend continuation, where buyers aggressively outbid each other to get their limit bids filled. This results in rising bottoms. Eventually it breaks up when there's no lower prices to be had and the resulting market orders push up the price through resistance.
Or not

The setup didn't pan out as I had hoped but I'm still holding the position. I think LTC will probably follow BTC during the upcoming bull market (as it did in 2013) so it will pay to have strategic positions in each. One should be cautious playing with LTC as it's a smaller market and therefore more volatile and prone to slippage.
The recent rally in BTC is fundamentally different than those that came before it in that it jumped the resistance between $260-80 very decisively and quickly on strong volume, with a large jump in price in a very short time (compare the length of the big 3d green candle to previous ones).
After a long, excruciating trading range where price has held resilience and various informed interests have taken position, this is a huge sign of strength and an indication that the market is ready to move up and begin to correct and recapture some of the lost gains from the year long bear market.
Well, you might still be right about LTC, though I'm on the sidelines there until I can see something I can hook into. Can't really get a feel which way it's going right now.
Regarding BTC, I'm bullish.

Economists have know for 500 years that a currency must have some inflation, otherwise people will hoard it and it will not be available for use as a currency.
During the past 500 years, there were long periods of effectively zero inflation where economies boomed. In the industrial revolution in Britain, for example.
Also, I don't think there was such a thing as an economist 500 years ago.

You see, those scammers had to work with gold, because bitcoin had not been invented yet.

As I wrote already, I was referring to
Gresham's Law (aka Copernicus's Law). It is stated in terms of face value vs intrinsic value, but the phenomenon applies to bitcoin vs national money: if a currency is [ perceived as being ] more solid than another, people will hoard one and spend the other.
Did Copernicus and Gresham really think that a currency must have inflation to prevent hoarding? If anything, they seemed to have wanted to prevent debasement, and thus prevent hoarding while maintaining the stability of money. In Gresham's case, the debasement of the shilling under Henry VIII was blamed for the loss of the Crown's silver in Elizabethan England, so he hardly seemed enamoured of the idea.

There was also an exchange that popped up after things looked awful for Gox where you could sell your right to Mt. Gox coins for real bitcoin, albeit at a significant discount. Some smart / paranoid people were able to salvage some of their losses...
Let's not forget the swap thread we had here. Members were willing to trade up to .8 real BTC for every Gox IOU BTC:

With this change, a transaction that is still unconfirmed will be replaced in the queues by a later transaction that spends the same inputs (even to totally different outputs), if it pays a higher transaction fee. Howeve the first transaction must have a tag saying that it can be replaced 9at least in this version of the patch).
This feature is useful only when there is a backlog of unconfirmed transactions: it provides a way for the user to bump the fee on a stuck transaction, to increse its priority. It also lets a user to cancel an incorrect trasnaction, if he notices the error and reacts before the bad transaction is confirmed.
I'm surprised it's taken this long to implement retroactive transaction fees. Not sure about spending to different outputs though.

Technically, *unlimited*.
You must also realize that I don't buy groceries with SWIFT. Few people do.
I use cash or CC, of which Visa is but one. Visa has a peak capacity of around 56,000tps.
That's roughly 19,000 times more than Bitcoin
Bitcoin wasn't meant for buying groceries. That it was based on Bit
Gold gives a hint of its purpose. This mediocratization of the system to facilitate the transaction of individual corn nuts will end badly.

Going to 6 tps from 3, and 12 tps from there, until 2019 at the earliest, is nothing like trying to replicate a visa or swift. This all or nothing crap is tiresome, on both sides.
Essentially block size should be increased so long as the balance between security and performance is maintained. Striving for it to match Visa is a bad idea.

We're currently paying ~10% of the network's worth, per year, to secure it. In other words, we're paying $1 to store $10 for a year.
1. Is this optimal?
2. If a bank charged you 10%, yearly, to store your money, would you use it?
3. What does it matter? They use to pay $1 to store $1. If that wasn't sufficient discouragement, $1 for $10 sure isn't.

Having studied the data for another project, it has come to my attention that some of the miners out there are still mining with a 750k soft-limit.
What this means is that some blocks which appear to be 75% full are, effectively 100% full. This skews the averages. I'm not going to have ChartBuddy change the way he calculates the averages but I am going to have him mark them in the dots. I think purple will be the color to use.
Additionally, someone seems to be mining with a 250k soft limit. I don't know what to make of that and I'm not going to add any processing for it but just thought I'd note it out of interest.
Hi Rich,
I think it would be useful if Chartbuddy's explanation link described all of the new additions. I was scratching my head a bit when I first saw the block-fullness diagram. At the moment the explanation just covers the walls. Thanks!

Bitcoin now has a rather nice flag formation after the rise from 200-500 with little media fanfare. The alt's are waking up and the halving is approaching. The only thing keeping bitcoin back is the blocksize debate which will soon resolve either by a HF with majority of miner support, or with Core acquiescing to the demands of the market and miners (3 weeks!) and fixing a 2mb blocksize HF in the roadmap.
The Chinese will stick with Core, they are quite conservative with respect to leadership. I'd be surprised to see Core implement 2MB blocks in addition to segregated witness, but we'll see.

That's cool. Even though I got no idea of how you make the equivalent byte/ satoshi (I mean how many bytes does my transaction take depending of the number of bitcoins i send) but it gives you a raw estimation nonetheless! Thanks!
I don't know how it is with other clients, but Core already makes this heuristic calculation for you, with a slider to increase the fee for improved block priority.
Also, Core 0.12 will introduce
Opt-in RBF, which, if it becomes established, will allow you to bump the fee on an unconfirmed transaction.

First of all, I think the guy in the article is confusing Greenland with Iceland. Absolutely nothing is concentrated in Greenland.
Second of all, data centers existed before Bitcoin mining, so there's no need to reinvent the wheel. The only viable solution for reusing the heat is to run the mining coolant in several closed loops inside the data center, run them through several heat exchanger where the heat is led to a different closed loop system used for central heating for nearby houses or office buildings. 40-60 degrees celsius through radiators makes sense. Heating the liquid further cancels any gains because it will need to be cooled down again (remember, you can't use the liquid from the closed loop system directly), and water heaters are (as lambie pointed out) used too sporadically.
Third, miners don't do that because sunk cost is a killer in Bitcoin mining. And such a system is very, very....VERY expensive.

I'm not joking. Lets see.
Bitcoin has had a battering from the media for the best part of 6-7 years. Plenty know about it now. It has been superseded technologically and none of those assets even made a dent in its marketcap.
It has been superseded institutionally because we now know that banks all over the world have been running their own blockchains. But none of them even made a dent in Bitcoin's marketcap.
It has been superceeded strategically because we now have smart-contract based blockchains galore, yet, even none of those blockchains even made a dent in bitcoin's marketcap.
What will banks do when they discover that the value isn't blockchain, it's bitcoin ? What will they do when they discover that blockchain is dirt cheap, can be reproduced a million times over and actually isn't much more useful technologically than an SQL server worth $1000 bucks ? What will they do when they discover that bitcoin isn't dirt cheap, can't be replicated, can't be bought, can't be regulated and can't even be matched for hashpower with the combined budgets of all the world's banks put together ?
Bitcoin is going to be in demand by $7 billion people. Not for technological reasons, for monetary reasons. It is a perfected token both monetarily and sociologically. It is beginning to successfully conclude its "rights of passage" phase and just shortly, $400 now is going to look like $1 did back in 2010.$6000 per BTC, did you get that from the Gox Field interferometer? Anyway, my belief has been and still is up. Be careful thinking the king cannot be usurped from his throne though - at a $6 Billion mcap, Bitcoin is still but an infant.

Did this with a SEPA transfer on bitquick once. The guy sent me 180 euro. I saw the transfer go through to my account. I released the bitcoins.
2 days later my bank calls me and says the person's account that sent me the money was hacked and that they needed to refund the 180 euro. Nothing I could do at that point.
Yeah, this is why they introduced real name and ID verification at Localbitcoin. Bitsquare doesn't appear to have such protections, or indeed a rep system, but appears to rely on the assumption that hackers won't be bothered for sums of one Bitcoin or less...

Craig Wright says he will move a coin from an early block in the next few days. The BBC says "that should convince many of the doubters". I say he should sign a message with both his PGP key and a Satoshi Bitcoin, and move some early coins (to my Bitcoin address). That would convince me.
You can give my senior butt 1 shiny bitcoin if he does it, but I'm too poor to return the favour if he doesn't.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36193006The man who has identified himself as the creator of Bitcoin plans to provide further proof to his claim.
Craig Wright's spokesman told the BBC that he would "move a coin from an early block" belonging to the crypto-currency's inventor "in the coming days".
*snip*
This morning, I have managed to reach Jon Matonis, who is at a cryptocurrency event in Kenya. He remains absolutely convinced by Craig Wright but agrees that the blog hasn't helped his case.
"It needs to be amended because it's not conclusive for the general public. But that does not take away from what I saw in private," he explained.
As far as I can see it, if Dr Wright can move one of Satoshi's bitcoins - as promised - that should convince many of the doubters.
It would constitute proof that he is who he says he is - although one suspects that even then some will never believe his story.
Yeah, what's the likelihood that he moves some early coins
not mined definitively by Satoshi? And didn't he state previously that he couldn't move any coins because he had them tied up till 2020 in his trust fund? But I guess the two previous fraudulent proofs were mere accident, and this time we'll see genuine evidence. I can also sell anyone who believes this a perpetual-motion machine.

Thanks for those clips, yefi.
In my humble bumble opinion, those kinds of appearances would not rule out Kleiman from being Satoshi. Kleinman was characterized as both a recluse and also someone who kept people out of some of his personal matters. Appearing on TV is not inconsistent with being a recluse, especially when the commentary was subject matter specific (and not about Kleinman himself).
I don't find either of those appearances nor his previous employment as a law enforcement person to be inconsistent with a person like satoshi who likely spent a considerable amount of time considering cryptography and ways to make a digital currency from such.
He strikes me as being exactly what's on the tin, a computer forensic expert. No more, no less. As I know well, looks can be deceiving however.
Anyway, I see he
gave a webinar. Looking at the slides, he used American spelling, e.g., organizing,
which you can compare with Satoshi's. There were a couple of punctuation errors as well, including the use of a
quotation mark for an apostrophe. Notice the single spacing after full stops as well.

It doesn't matter to the code, but it matters who has access to the coins and when. Maybe he doesn't give a shit if we believe him. Maybe he was using Gavin to confirm him for his Tulip Trustee. Idk.
There are approximately seven billion candidates who could be Satoshi based on "not giving a shit". So when I hear this argument, especially regarding a man who has gone to some lengths to convince us, I picture a very leaky bucket indeed.
I think the most sensible theory going is that Kleiman was the voice of Satoshi on this forum; the times during which our Satoshi posted seems to suggest he was doing it from the states. I think Wright probably wrote the white paper and had Kleiman edit it? And it was probably Wright communicating with Gavin by email.
Or not. But it has to have been someone, and a bunch of this stuff fits. Even if CSW happens to be some kind of nut. Let's face it...
I think the least sensible theories are those based on associations made from a single, unattested, unreliable source.

"... until computers are built from something other than matter and occupy something other than space".
Qbits exploit weird quantum effects like one atom being able to be in two places at the same time. The qbits in a quantum computer occupy something strange that might be considered "other than space". Existing in two places at the same time is a departure from the standard three dimensions of space we all know.
Photons, which can be used for qubits, are massless particles and have no volume. Hence, I assume, where the
"built from something other than matter and occupy something other than space" comes from. However, you can implement quantum computers with particles which
do have mass and volume, so his point is invalid.

But sure, it's possible to get crime rates down, though this typically involves more $ on policing &/or laxer policing standards. This does happen when crime rates become unacceptably high (think "stop & frisk," airport body searches, etc.), so careful what you wish for
Despite all the regulations and penalties during the Prohibition, alcohol was still easily obtainable. Despite all the dollars spent policing illegal substances, they are still easily obtainable. How do you suppose cryptos can be banned, regulated and policed so that they are sufficiently difficult to obtain as to deter an extortionist?

Comparing bitscoins to alcohol (documented history of use going back ~5000 years) is as much of a stretch as comparing beadcoin to the internet: ridiculous.
The documented history of the use of something means nothing. Books have been banned before publication yet still disseminated. You can't stop what people want, and people want crypto, whether rightly, whether wrongly, whether ridiculously...
Banning betcoin would certainly make it less attractive to
extortionists bitcoin entrepreneurs. No hospital would break the law (by buying illegal beetcoins) to pay ransom
I was here before you: surely a better way to stop extortion would be to make paying
any ransom illegal. This is strangely at odds with the last advice I heard from the FBI...

Of course history of use matters. Otherwise the cigs I'm smoking would have been banned a long time ago.
And sure, if people want something bad enough, be it raping, shooting people, shooting dope, or using bleatcoins, they will get it. OTOH, when things are made illegal, they become less desirable. Not to pubescent children with daddy issues, but to most people.
The
difficulty of enforcing regulation is not a result of the length of a thing's history. It is a product of its distribution, prevalence, concealability etc. and these things can develop from a long history or a very short one. Gnutella and Kad network are relatively novel, yet I would like to see you regulate them away, even with all the $ from the MPAA in your pocket.
Not looking for the optimal solution, simply pointing out that you're factually wrong: making bitscoin illegal would discourage beetcoin extortionists
But it won't. What will happen more often is that the crime simply won't be reported, and that the victims will be criminalized. Good 'nuff?

P2P traffic. It is mostly a poke at your Gnutella chart, as the preferred method of piracy has obviously shifted. If piracy is consuming a smaller percentage of global bandwidth, I'd suggest this is due to streaming services such as Netflix which reduce the incentive, rather than due to anti-P2P endeavours.
Now you're starting to get it. And lower likelihood of getting paid lowers the profitability of your khrymez. Q.E.D., my rebellious friend
Banning ransom payments isn't going to work because enough people will pay to still make it a profitable venture. This is why it isn't good enough, beside the fact that you're criminalizing the victims who do pay, a fact exploitable by the still-not-discouraged hackers.

How does getting out of DAO work? I heard today was the first day people could get out, but is everyone free to get out at the same time, or do some have to wait longer than others before they can dump DAO?
I believe you can burn your stake by proposing to fund with it an eth address that you own (although last I heard they wanted to put a moratorium on proposals due to security considerations). You can also obviously sell it at an exchange.

in fact I find strange the many thousands of coins lent out on BFX at a rate always <0.00X%.
Don't these lenders think if they are sabotaging themselves lending at so low rates to shorters against their coins value?
I stopped lending when rates on Polo went below 0.04%/day.
I've never known why folk would risk their coins on an exchange for a such a paltry return. Making 2% a year means you trust an exchange not to lose your funds for 35 years.

I am not calling any tops here or even a new bear trend. You can't predict the future anyway. If it would be crystal clear that we would go to 1200$ we would already be there and not get resistance below 600$. You also have to keep in mind that the last moon was with much less coins in circulation. Also there was almost no leverage trading or short trading. This will definitely make a giant move like back then less likely. Not Impossible ofc...
So the theory goes. Not really sure I believe in the moderating power of those instruments in practice though.
Coins in circulation then was about 12 million, so there are 30% more today. If we count say 2 million as being unspendable, then there's maybe 50-60% more today, not a great deal.

4000 CNY and especially 4444 will be huge psychological resistances in the middle kingdom. 4 in chinese is "sì" (四) and it sounds a lot like "sî" (死) which means death... The chinese people don't like it and try to avoid using it. In elevators for example you might find floor 3a and 3b and floor 5 but no floor 4. Not really comparable to 13 in the west but you can get the idea. ( Most of the airplanes i have been flying with did not have a seat with that number). So there could be some trouble if we do not get past that cursed number quick... On the other hand we might just overshoot it to 5000 cny which would be really great if the western exchanges just follow. My next target is +760$.

Dynamic fees predict fare based on current demand. If demand increases in the interim from boarding to alighting, then RBF gives you the option to increase your fare. These mechanism mitigate the problem by and large.

I don't know how many of your guys remember what happened years ago, but there were a lot of people that bought Bitcoin for $68X+ to $700, and there are a lot of people that are going to want to sell their Bitcoin and get their money back. Small dips at this point are somewhat expected, and the market will be relatively stagnant around this point. All the old coins will have to be sold off before the price keeps moving upwards.
Probably a lot of people in that range who panic sold on the way down too. It's still an important area, but it may not be the hurdle you imagine.

Let me put forward a supposition: deriding holders of Bitcoin hasn't been going well for you in the face of increasing prices (that now exceed your exit point), so you devised a strategy to latch on to eth instead. That way you can still deride holders that you told to sell in the $200s. You never bought in low, and you never did fantastically financially from eth.

As preparation for joining the Euro, we were meant to keep the pound within the limits of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.

We subsequently secured an opt-out in the Maastricht Treaty, unique I think, which meant we retained control of our currency.

In other words, he took his marble elsewhere.. to the copy cat wall observer thread on bitco.in and also there's a dedicated chartbuddy thread too. Some improvements to chartbuddy as well, even though it would be a much more useful tool, here.
I think that in the past, there were some suggestions regarding the possibility of a new chartbuddy, a chartbuddy2 or a chartfriend or something for this thread, but someone would need to have enough commitment to program it and set it up and whatever else it takes. I think such a new chartbuddy could be somewhat self funded on a forum like this if it were to add a signature campaign to its postings (maybe hourly), then such signature campaign could possibly pay for a considerable amount of the time and effort to set it up..

It would be highly surprising if we don't experience a bullish correction during this rally. I have the top at 789.78 on finex. We are hovering in the 750's.
I have bids at ~614 (50%) and ~572 (61.8%). They may not get hit which is fine. No one ever went bankrupt taking profit. Keeping a close eye in case i have to pile back in :-)
If you zoom the charts out, from the ATH to the post-bubble lows, we've now hit the 0.618 fib line on most exchanges. Definitely the potential for a reversal here, and I haven't thought that at any point previously in this rally. If we can break 800 we should be good though.

As long as it doesn't turn into a long term bear market where that was the turning point - the final high of bitcoin EVER - and where it drifts down to zero from here, we'll be ok
That would be about the worst outcome, i.e. that this
was the next bubble. I'm expecting consolidation now in the 500 to 700 range as a base for the true bubble though, fingers crossed.

It is bad for the UK, but it doesn't matter. This is about emotions, not about money.
EDIT: Historian Simon Schama comments dramatically on UK secession, saying Scotland will not be coerced into leaving the EU. Meanwhile EU-CN gap widens to €20.
When does Simon Schama not talk dramatically.
The failed currency union of the EU is bound to unravel sooner or later anyway. No monetary union without fiscal union - the current mess in Greece and in other southern and periphery nations is a result of this halfway house. When you hear a government talking about reparations from Germany for WWII, you begin to see the heavy irony of a project once designed to seed harmony in to the hearts of the disparate peoples of Europe.

It would be hubris of them to engage in petty, punitive measures against Britain. These cut both ways remember, and the EU itself is in no healthy state to wage such a conflict, not to mention that it reinforces their image of rule by coercion which has dealt them so much damage.

It's important to remember that this vote is not binding, it's basically nothing more than guidance.
Great Britain is still a member of the EU and the process of actually leaving will involve much bureaucracy.
Nothing has changed yet, and if I were to don my tinfoil hat, I would expect that many people who have a vested interest in supporting the EU would conspire to use this excuse to greatly harm both the exchange rate of the pound and also cause havok in global markets to sow the seed of doubt. The margin was extremely thin and I would expect they will first impose as much hardship as possible and then call for a re-vote.
I think this is far from over. </tinfoil>
I thought the powers that be were meant to rig the election? Did they fall into a drunk stupor and forget their duty? The fact is, there is little stomach for averting this course, and little chance of closing the fissure.

I don't know what's going to happen, but I would be surprised if *they* let Britain leave without a fight.
The only
they trying to stop Britain leaving without a fight are the
naive.
Britain isn't going to keep rerunning the referendum like some banana republic, and there is no political will in the establishment of this country to undo this. Most of the ruling Conservatives are Eurosceptics for a start, and to engage in some civil war with the working classes would do a lot more harm to this country than whatever the markets can inflict.

Yeah, at the
current rate of around 0.065%:- 1.00065^365*100-100=~27% per annum. Of course, rates can change if you need to renew the loan. They're currently over twice as expensive as they were earlier in the year.

For those of us that have been around for the first one it isn't even a consideration but there are probably a lot of new faces who will be apprehensive about the deflationary mechanism in the bitcoin algorithm until they see it work with their own eyes.

Unfortunately, quantum mechanics and a hundred years of thought and experimentation have laid waste to determinism in the way you're thinking.
At any 'point' in time, there are many future possible outcomes for the next cloasest future 'point' in time. All outcomes have known probabilities. One such outcome is randomly chosen from an observer's point of view.
That is true randomness btw - not just a lack of information.
It may be impossible to determine the outcome from all past information in the universe, but I don't think that proves that the universe is non-deterministic. Perhaps, for example, there is a
multiverse that contains all possible universes, and, if we might be granted to peer over it, the apparent randomness of electron clouds collapsing would be perfectly mechanical.

If you want a crapper town than Glasgow try visiting Sunderland, Windsor, or Luton. The 2004 vote for the number one crappest town in the UK was Luton.

ETF is bullshit (not bullish). winklewees are ever failing wannabes burning through daddy money.
trading paper coins will certainly not lead btc price higher.
just look at how gold ETFs are used to lower its price, flooding the market with their monkey gold.
ETFs have been held responsible for the rise in gold up to nearly $2000/oz, as they opened up investment to the market from participants who wouldn't have dealt with the underlying asset.
I think the problem here arises from paper claims not being backed by actual assets - Bitcoin's transparent ledger should provide a simple and incontrovertible means to assess an ETF's holdings however.

I thought they lost less than half the coins, so why the 63% haircut? I wouldn't be surprised if they did try to go down this route, however. When Poloniex got hacked for 10-15% they did similarly, with a haircut and then gradual reimbursement from their trading fees. Running fractional reserve, in contract, would just cause a run on withdrawals.

Zanetackett refuses to dismiss the haircut route, but says any haircut estimations (like 63%) are false. Poloniex got hacked for a relatively small amount, and still took forever to pay everyone back. How much does Bitfinex earn in fees, and how long would it take to pay everyone back out of them?
Well, a long time. Say roughly 0.1% fees on 200K per week equals about 10K BTC per year. 15% cut of lending fees would net around 1-2 million per year in USD also (about 3K BTC per year).
I scan my actual paper-and-toner wallets, copy them to multiple encrypted microSD cards, hide them well in multiple offsite stashes, and then securely shred the original files and tear up the original printed wallets and flush them down the toilet.

Only to the extent of checking them from time to time. If one were to fail, I'd replace it with a copy from one of the other.
Personally, I've never had an SD card or SSD fail and I was an early adopter of SSDs. I'd hate to admit what I paid for my first PATA 32GB Memorite SSD almost a decade ago but it's still running fine.
When OCZ brought out their first Vertex SATA SSDs, I replaced my Raptor RAID-0 array with 4 of them. When I got my first Revodrive PCIe RAID SSD card, the Vertex cards went into netbooks. All are still working as far AFAIK.
The only flash memory I've had fail were USB keys and that was probably due to physical abuse.
Ah, if you check them periodically it should be fine. The problem arises when they're unpowered for a long time, as the cells aren't refreshed and the voltage level drops to a point where they become unreadable.
First SSD for me was the veritable Mtron 16GB. Was about the first consumer SSD here in the UK. You could buy a 1TB now for the price and probably still have change.

So they only lost BTC, which translates 36% across
all of their assets. They had $38MM in cash just offered for longs. So looks like idiots pretty much lost all of the BTC they held
. But BitGo functioned correctly
Bitfinex hold
1 million ETH, so that's 18K BTC. If we take the same ratio of total holdings to margined for USD as for ETH, then that's about 76M USD or around 130K BTC at current prices. 330K minus approx. 150K would mean they held 180K BTC, thus lost around 2/3rds.

Problem is, the currencies of 1916 were gold. A 45 year chart looks even more impressive. The post-Breton Woods system will not live to its 50th anniversary.
Germany had abandoned their Goldmark for the Papiermark in 1914. The latter being unbacked by gold as the name suggest. Britain also suspended convertibility in 1914.
The nixing of the gold exchange standard certainly set the new course for inflation, however.

the only thing the sec is consideing is the exchange rule change.
that's totally separate to approving the actual etf. that might be several years or never even if the rule change goes through.
But the rule change basically opens the door for the ETF in such a way that they don't have to go through the several years long process. It essentially lets them piggyback on other structures by changing the rule to include cryptocurrency.
This is my understanding too. The rule change green lights the ETF as an exchange-traded note. They don't need any other form of approval from the SEC to get listed.

I see this as a continuation of the bull trend. I take my inspiration here from the rare earth metals, which share characteristics in common with Bitcoin. Tops are nearly always mania spikes.

Yesterday, about 18 hours ago, I did a BTC buying transaction of about 3.5 BTC on the chain. That was around the peak of the mempool backup.
The guy selling the 3.5 BTC to me was using Mycelium and I was using the Blockchain.info wallet. I use my local bitcoins advert to establish our agreed to buying price, and the Localbitcoins website gave a warning that "due to an ongoing attack on the network" transactions may take more than 3 hours to go through (even though they will show up immediately as "pending").
Since I had already done several transaction with the guy selling me the 3.5 coins, I felt that the likely delay in confirmation was not a major risk problem for me in terms of the likelihood that he would attempt to pull shenanigans on me, such as attempting a double spend.
He used a fee of about .00015BTC (about $.095 - which is almost 10 cents), and the transaction took 83 minutes for the first confirmation. I did not watch the transaction, so I am not sure how long it took for the next 2 confirmations and for the coins to become available for my usage. Usually the first confirmation takes the longest, and the second two confirmations will usually go through within less than 30 minutes from the time of the first confirmation.
Is that an off-site transaction to avoid fees? Normally the seller has to have funds in his escrow wallet before he can place an ad. The transfer would then be internally on LBC's side, and it would be the withdrawal to your own personal wallet that would be delayed.

Yes, Podyx has been doing well lately
Why. You don't believe that a $1 fee (for a 225 byte tx) can get you into the first block? It was probably an a 2x overkill but I didn't want to take chances.
Indeed, getting in the next block is pretty easy if you pay enough. Leaving a high-fee-per-byte tx in the pool for another miner to gobble up makes no sense.

Post 16704681 (copy this link) (by yefi) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_14.58h):
I'm not exactly sure how the miner's operations work, exactly. I would imagine that they have their mining set with kinds of algorithms in order to identify how to attempt to balance the finding of the new blocks and the processing of the transactions based on fee amounts.
For example, any fee that is $.10 or higher will likely be in the highest priority, but yeah there could be some miners that focus on higher thresholds.
Regarding the mempool back up of this week, I get the sense that the quantity of fees was not going to make a big difference because there was some kind of attack going on that was not allowing transactions to be processed, for the most part. Why, otherwise, would my transaction that had $.56 not be processed for 30.5 hours. All of a sudden, when the backlog stopped growing (shrunk from 35million bytes backed up to 20 million), my transaction was processed. I really doubt that the behavior was coming from regular miners, but there was some kind of purposeful shenanigans going on that was disallowing the miners from employment of normal transaction processing incentives.
So, personally, generally speaking, at this point in time, I think that a $1 fee is approaching a 10x inflation in the necessary fees, rather than characterizing $1 as a 2x overkill.
I see no programmatic reason to be using thresholds - selfish miners should be packing their blocks with the absolute highest fees.
Have you looked for your transaction at blockchain.info and seen what the actual fee per byte was? I'd have to assume it wasn't high enough for that period of time. What I'd really like to see here is wider adoption of RBF by wallets. The ability to bump transactions during congested hours is sorely missing imo.

If you look closely at the picture and the graph, you will notice the artist used the outlines of the price graph as the basis of his picture. Look at the waves and where the head of the Bearwhale is. The slaying of the Bearwhale marks the beginning of the end of the big bear market in Bitcoin.
Ah, very cleverly done if so.
I'm not sure I'd classify it as the beginning of the end though. More like the beginning of the period before the beginning of the end

Nonetheless, despite a multitude of vocal opposition to seg wit, I really think when push comes to shove, these folks (such as mining nodes) are not going to be so stupid as to sabotage their own prosperity and to continue to support any kind of opposition to seg wit, with stupid-ass, contradictory, technically inadequate, fundamentally dangerous and largely baseless objections to a largely non-controversial implementation.
Relying on folk to not be stupid doesn't sound like a great formula for success. Forces in war have continued fighting long after it was obvious to everyone they had lost - and they were staking not merely their money but their lives.

What if you're trade altcoins against btc but never sell the btc. Do you pay taxes even if you haven't sold,
No. The taxable event is the selling of some asset for governmentally-recognized money - such as USD.
I don't believe that is the case. If it were, people would bypass fiat to avoid taxation - maybe via precious metals, gemstones, vouchers, etc. A tax authority would be unlikely to condone such a loophole.

I see what you see in addition to other indicators. The trick is to look at the indicators and not with your heart. For those looking for an upward price tend to only see things that support this ( I too want the price to go up, unfortunately "wanting it" does not make it happen).
Below is the 3d chart from Bitfinex: Note the orange arrow with a Doji and the green arrow shows the confirmation. And the red circle denotes the "Crossover - As shown in the chart below, when the MACD (white line) falls below the signal line (orange line), it is a bearish signal, which indicates that it may be time to sell."
Could be a fakeout, as we had this before the May/June rally. With the uncertainty surrounding Segwit, I wouldn't be sure on that, of course.

Bitcoin is too fragile to be used for 'global economic unity' or anything like that. Try to think in a timespan of beyond 20 years in which it will definitely be hacked/cracked by then or they will find some way to keep the network from functioning in some way or the other. In a best case scenario, we briefly touch something like $20,000 in a speculative bubble before crashing. That is the play here.
No, you have it the wrong way round. Humans are too fragile to be here in 20 years to use Bitcoin. We will be hacked/cracked or some other way to disrupt our network will be found.

In recent times, I have been making various attempts to avoid disclosing too many specifics regarding exactly how many coins that I hold, but surely, there is some information out there in which you could get ball park ideas.
Based on this post, and your earlier posts about your average cost per coin, here is my approximate estimate regarding the number of coins that you own.
Approximate amount invested: 4.53 x $750 = $3,400
Based on my foggy memory - estimated average cost per coin: $150
Approximate current number of coins held: $3400 / $150 = 22.67 ( 1/one millionth of the total BTC supply)
You're an order of magnitude off surely - 4.5 x $10,000 = $45,000 CAD. He'd have to sell many more coins than 4-5 to recoup his principal at current prices.

You registered this account when price was between $50 and $100. Judging by your first posts however, I get the feeling that's either not your first account on here, or you've been exposed to Bitcoin before registering. If that's the case, all bets are off, depending on whether you seized the very early opportunity or not (no shame if it's the latter -- I'm just mentioning the possibilities).
Because of that uncertainty, to stay within semi-acceptable (to me
) confidence, I'll have to give a pretty wide range. Say: More than 100, less than 5000.
(edit) Your estimate is a bit off, but less than an OOM, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm flattered for sure, but I'm just a scrawny 2013'er such as yourself*. I learnt about Bitcoin end of Feb, when it hit its old ATH (and my mind hasn't been stirred like it since).
You gave away .3 BTC in your competition, so you must have at least 100 I think. I also remember you making a good call on the main bubble, and looking at your posts in Jan 2015, during the darkest hour, you were unwavering.

I used to use them for a while and then when I sent a translator in France a payment for a translation for a job I was (legitimately) doing in French about Moscow and I put a reference 'Moscow translation' on the payment it was held up for ages, I complained and they asked (extensively) what it was for, why I was doing it etc.
I said it was a transfer of funds in Euros - exactly what they were advertising was 'easy' with their service. They were suspicious because of the use of the word 'Moscow' that it was a breach of Russian trade embargoes / money laundering etc. which was ridiculous.
They refused this legitimate (and totally legal) money transfer for UK to France totally and so I never used them again, and I never will.
One day, I will do all of this in Bitcoin - right now, realitstically I can't, but it's not long way off. No one else can offer these legitimate payments without excessive charges and / or 'questions' about 'why ' a person wants to do it.
They are resisting the tide along with all the others. This is why crypto will win and fiat banks will lose in the long run.
Long live frictionless, cheap transfer of money across borders. Long live BTC.

Could be a bit of some folks running out of coins to sell at this price? I would put pretty high odds on the possibility that we are going to get past $900 without some kind of either battle or folks coming up with coins to sell in the upper $800s... yet on the other hand, I would love to be pleasantly surprised (but not totally shocked, as if it were not in the realm of possibilities) to wake up to prices above $1,500 in the coming weeks...
Next potential turning point after here is $1000 imho. It was the first resistance after the ATH, as well as being a psychological barrier. It would also form a satisfactory top for the current rally from ~$460. Like you, I wouldn't be utterly shocked if price goes bonkers though

90% of my coins were bought in the $200 dollar range. For me I remember paying £2xx each for most of them.
I was lurking around in 2013 and had 1 coin before then November pump and I was devastated I thought I'd missed the boat so to speak. Then when things got really bad during the downtrend I watched and watched and then pounced a little bit above the lowest point. Never got them the cheapest but I was happy I was in the game.
Nice one. Picked up most of my post-bubble BTC in the $200 range. Last buy for myself was at $300 last November after the rally to $500.

the trick is the $ retirement accounts are best used to invest in the stock market. basic intelligent investing will have a better return (3-7%) than the rate of inflation (2-3%)
Pension funds are fubarred. They have liabilities they cannot cover. With bond yields at historical lows, they are struggling to meet their promises of a fixed return. Furthermore, this struggle is forcing them into riskier securities, such as stocks and repackaged junk debt. What happens when the next recession hits, or, as is more probable, the next crash?

Sincere question:
Do you believe the mathematics of fibonacci sequences has anything at all to do with the supply/demand bitcoin market intrinsically?
OR: Do you believe that many traders believe that, so the effect will be the same?
OR: something else?
The knowledge of these levels will influence trading decisions, so reality fulfills the prediction because of the prediction. I avoid more esoteric TA for this reason.
Is there a deeper significance to these ratios, something say, embedded in our nervous system, like the structure of a frond? I withhold my belief on that one. Perhaps there is, but we humans do like to become attached to our patterns, over-emphasising the fit and ignoring where they are unfitting in our explanation of the world.

We're at ~7300
ATH is 8000
So, about 700 to go, right?
Not quite. Houbi and OKCoin were 8000, but BTCC, market leader at that time by volume (before the days of wash trading), was ~7600. The true weighted average is probably closer to 7800-7900 CNY.

This is crazy guys, this rise is parabolic. Don't you think it need to come back down and floor out.
Like how high can it possibly go before crashing? I think its now so I sold all my btc besides a few for investing with and I'll buyback in at $800 in a month from now.

I would say that Wright went this route because he knew that his buddy who died (right around the time Satoshi said he had to leave to do other things) was Satoshi. Knowing this, he could claim to be Satoshi knowing the real Satoshi would never reveal himself. But he doesn't have the private keys. If he did he would have proved he was Satoshi long ago.
On penalty of rehashing old ground, where is the evidence that Kleiman
ever was his buddy? Because Wright said or implied so? Wright is the kind of guy who'd read an obituary and tell you he knew the deceased intimately if he thought he could scrounge a penny (imho).

So, remind me again how many Bitcoins Satoshi is supposed to have mined/owns?
Why do you ask? I certainly didn't mean to suggest Kleiman was Satoshi. Couldn't he just be some random dead guy who fits the profile Wright was looking for? Conveniently, dead guys aren't much for talking...
edit: Estimates vary, probably between half to one million.
Don't disagree but Craig Wright has a group making bitcoin patents for 2020 when supposedly he will have access to 1 million BTC as a trust. (If he was part
of the 3 man group etc)...I give it 1/2% chance of true...but if so...man the guy has a grudge...I bet he dumps it all out of spite
I give it about a 1 in 7 billion probability.

I'm far from on expert on this - but what I'm thinking at the moment is that the huge climbs are (at the very least) in part due to traders borrowing(buying) BTC to sell short. They are building us up for a fall.
You don't buy coins to begin a short. You borrow coins from a lender for a % fee. You then market sell them or place a sell order higher up in the order book. Once your order is filled,
that's when you buy the coins back. If the price goes up for you, that's bad, because buying the coins will not give you enough to pay back the lender. When that happens, your own funds, that are in your margin account and act as collateral, will be used to ensure the lender is made whole.
Where is everybody going to see the 3-year charts? Bitcoinwisdom doesn't seem to go back more than one week.
You've got Wisdom stuck on the 1-min chart perhaps? It goes back to 2011 if you set the time interval to 1-week.

This is a potential bottom of this move for me. Volatility on the log scale is similar to other two rallies (500 and 780) and we're near to support. Whether there'll be a continuation of the bull trend is another question.

Just to clarify, the only reason I posted 2013 to compare with current is to reveal just how volatile this can be.
Volatility has been on the decline for years as there's improved liquidity in the markets. 2013's volatility was also on the back of a very steep rise in price.
Memories will have been rekindled, and sellers today will act for fear of a crash and another bear market - but are their actions rational or dominated by fear?

of course if they use it only as a mean of transfer of value they would just dump it as soon as they receive, so would make no overall difference in the price, only effect would be some increase in volume
Transactions are not instantaneous, therefore coins are removed from supply during that interval, which will affect price. One might liken hodling to a super-slow transaction.

Does this link show historical BTC swaps used together with the unused swaps, omitting the USD swaps?
https://www.bfxdata.com/swaphistory/btc
The bottom chart on that page shows this.
total sum of BTC margin funding: 22,414
unused sum of BTC margin funding: 199
The top chart on this page shows these values.
https://bfxdata.com/positions/btcusd
BTCUSD long positions: 34 425
BTCUSD short positions: -13 267I assume the different totals are because USD is included and those figures are active values.
I always thought the difference was because BTC margin was used for long positions in the other markets as well as for shorts in BTC.

I have never used swaps on bitfinex. Can USD margin be used for long position in the other markets as well as for shorts in BTC? I think I read you can borrow bitcoins and use them to go either long or short with, and I assume USD is similar.
I don't use Finex personally, so I'm not sure. I'd have thought that would be the case though.
I can not seeing it go below $1000 at this point. It shot pass it without a flinch in rolling on forward.
Just need to wait until the next economic news comes and see how it withstands what China exchanges and Trump is doing to the states economic woes have in store for the next 48 hours. If it stays above the price it is at now then it can be bulletproof.
Steady now, we're not out of the woods yet. Once we break the ATH,
then maybe we can contemplate an end to triple digits. Right now price is approaching a delicate position, and, like PoolMiner mentioned, it could still all turn out to be a bull trap.

Bitcoin's intent was to be a digital form of cash. It is both a currency and a means of payment processing. This was pointed out right in the whitepaper. Even if Bitcoin now fills a different space, its outward intention was to function as both a currency and payment processor.
Now don't get me wrong, Bitcoin can scale [not to the level of Visa I don't think], but it is highly likely it will not in any substantial way. If a dynamic block size is implemented along with blockchain pruning then we could see many times more transactions processed per second, but just a basic increase [not even looking at pruning] has not made any meaningful progress towards consensus. And even if the network could handle it, how many of you actually use Bitcoin to buy and purchase goods and why not just use any other payment processing network?
Bitcoin is not about high throughput, it is about security and trust-minimisation. This is what gives it value over traditional systems, and why we sacrifice computational and energy efficiency. Throughput should be left to peripheral networks, that use Bitcoin as the settlement layer. The lower fees, faster transactions, and still-better-than-VISA security should increase Bitcoin's appeal in payment cases where it is presently disfavoured.

But China isn't present to dump. It's hard to imagine what else they can roll out at this stage. Everywhere else is slowly disconnecting from China. Maybe a few Chinese folks have migrated to Japan for that zero fee fun so they'll have a go there, but not many people elsewhere seem to be paying Japan much attention right now.
Their arsenal is certainly depleted. Unless they go nuclear and raid miners/seize equipment, I don't think they can really affect the trend now.

Imo it won't gain much more traction as it had.
BU's code if full of bugs and the devs seem to be far from being competent!
But to scare the market it was a really useful toy I have to admit.Some people really shit their pants and sold huge parts of their stack and now act extremely desperate to get in again.
SWIM sold a sizable portion around $1100, and SWIM doesn't feel desperate to get in again. Without an ETF, we have less impetus for up, and with the scaling fiasco, more impetus for down. If the trend of the past year and a half is broken, you can expect some
real panic selling.

This is bullshit. Nobody in their right fucking mind would attempt to use one of these scam coins. The only reason that people go in those is to gather more Bitcoin.
Is that a fact or a wish? One might well argue that the only reason many go into Bitcoin is to gather more USD (or equivalent). If the market cap of alts surpasses that of Bitcoin, many will ask themselves: do I trade alts to make more bitcoin, or bitcoin to make more alts? Bitcoin's army is one composed of mercenaries, and allegiance to profit matters more than righteousness.

This is neither a wish nor a fact. It can't be a fact; it is an observation. Here's a prime example:
BitPay Won’t Use Bitcoin Alternatives For Payment Systems Despite Scaling Issues
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitpay-wont-use-bitcoin-alternatives-payment-systems-despite-scaling-issues/Nobody in their right mind is going to jump on board of these scam coins. 99.9% are utterly horrible. Only those led on by pure greed would jump on this bandwagon for real (e.g. early bagholders).
That said, UASF Segwit should move us forward towards more capacity and to secondary layer solution. THe price is bound to increase as soon as this get safely deployed. One day we may be looking back at this time, and call it the 'dark ages' of mining cartels.
Actually it is an assumption (and I hope an exaggeration). What I observe is that non-BTC volume has been growing relatively, and this suggests more people bypassing BTC entirely in this game - whatever anyone's opinion of them may be, including Bitpay's.
As for UASF Segwit, I hope it goes swimmingly, but it frankly feels like something hatched by Che Guevara and that unnerves me.

Nothing is wrong with Bitstamp, the only problem is with Bitfinex. Since people feel fairly secure on Bitstamp they often dump their coins there for fiat so that they can get a withdrawal quick enough, which is why the price is usually lowest. Bitcoin's Bitfinex value isn't actually backed by fiat and they can't process fiat withdrawals or even deposits on there so it's not long before it all explodes in their face.
It's amazing that Stamp is holding up as well it is - there really seems to be an underlying bullish sentiment thus far, despite current price aberrations.

I didn't mean to imply that Bitcoin would fall so dramatically that it wouldn't recover, that it would fail or even that we're moving into a bear market. I was just saying that when there's growth this quick with no serious positive events to cause it, it's reasonable to think that at the very least there will be a serious correction before it keeps moving forward.
One might argue that it isn't even reasonable that we're here, but here we are. If this rally can surpass the ATH, then we may see an extension into the 1600s or more.

We should cast this one out to sea already. Everyone who has come up against the badger has left minus any wealth and dignity they once had. Mike, Gavin were the ones with the most 'capital' as they made some contributions earlier, but when they wanted to go against logic and push an agenda, Bitcoin folded them like cheap lawn chairs.

If you can call the tops - and the bottoms - then you are a better man than 99.9% on here.
For the rest of mankind cost averaging doesn't seem like a bad strategy to me.
You don't need to call tops or bottoms. If you did, you could have restocked at $155. It's more a case of aligning probabilities. I haven't bought for myself since $300 either, but I did have money allocated for a sub-$100 panic (which never materialized).
I guess a cost-averaging strategy isn't a bad idea for the other 99% however.

Yeah - look, I'm not wanting to start an argument here but your post doesn't make much sense. And, FWIW I bought at the same price point as yourself and the other guy.
You say that you are in the 1% that just "knows", on the balance of probabilities. Yet you state in your post that even though you had money set aside for sub $100, the price never went that low so your (potential) order wasn't met. You made the wrong call then, surely ?
How are probabilities arrived at in this market ? "Aligning probabilities" is a posh way of saying you are calling the top and the bottom.
Its my contention that you are unable to do so - and that, therefore, a cost averaging strategy, especially for those who might just be entering the bitcoin invetsment space and weren't fortunate enough to get in at a lower price point, might well be a very good strategy indeed.
That, or just buy and hold.
But don't try to second guess this market.
Probability means you don't know, but it doesn't mean that you're clueless either. There are probability clouds for electrons around an atom - cluster your bids around the areas of greater likelihood. Now obviously, if I have a model in my mind of adoption phases, I could be mistaken about the model, so readjustment is necessary based on chart analysis.
Was withholding funds for <$100 wrong? Only if you think that the bottom is some absolute number rather than ranges of possibilities. Have you considered that maybe it could only be
25% wrong, for example?
p.s. you probably haven't bought in at the same point as me.

A single trade is susceptible to luck. The longer the series of trades you make, the more the result will reflect your strategy. I've over 60K trades on Polo with a cray cray % profit, so I'd have to ascribe that to more than just luck.
Please, I would be more than happy for you to prove me wrong - put down, here and now, based on probability, the price movements of BTC/USD over the next few weeks - or if you prefer the next couple of decades.

I completely missed the boat on ETH and I'm still pissed about it. But I still don't get it. If decentralized applications ever take off, won't using ETH be prohibitively expensive at this price? Such that a cheaper alternative will instantly take it's place?
Cost of gas for computations is price-adjusted, so shouldn't increase in real terms until there is competition for block space.
It's an attempt to change governance and to accomplish such in the form of a hard fork.... A hardfork is not necessary. so why agree to something that is not necessary and that is problematic and that is going to set bad precedent for future take overs.. especially if they agree to either a hardfork or a change in governance.. ?
Primarily because the alternatives appear to be either ossification or radicalism, neither of which are appealing.

They'll most likely need off-chain computation to scale e.g. Truebit.

if ever do have to cash out a significant amount the last place i plan to do it is an exchange. i'm not interested in covering their ass with my personal information.
If you do cash out a significant amount, the problem I see is buying property. AML laws mean solicitors in most Western countries will want to see evidence of source of funds. It is also likely to trigger suspicion, which, at least in the UK, means a SAR (Suspicious Activity Report) being filed with the NCA (National Crime Agency).

Yep, and also alts are showing signs of exhausting (about time!) and as I have been saying from some time now, when those fools see that they are losing those crazy returns they will come back to Bitcoin for the HUGE rise. Also Kraken is very bullish and the chinesse are still ahead of all the rest (again).
Of course, noone knows... but it is looking good to me!
Looking good to me too. Money seems to have shifted from the major alts to the lesser ones. This usually presages a rise in Bitcoin.
A chain split would be a disaster. Forkers will ruin us.
I'll be sure to GTFO before UASF happens. Maybe some want to ride that rollercoaster, I for one don't.

That would make sense. There will be pause at 3200-3500 level, perhaps even small correction before we test new all time high at 4500, perhaps as soon as july.
Then we will see where this goes. I have strong doubts we can make 10k during this summer - and it would not be healthy for the market either, overheating it severely.
We will see.
I don't see it playing out like this. I'm thinking continuation of exponential run-up till end of June, probably hitting 4000s, but possibly more, then a crash in July in anticipation of UASF. Assuming a successful outcome, a new rally can begin some months later.
If miners actually agreed on a scaling solution, then maybe this rally might extend higher to 9000s, but I'd not wager good odds on that.

Why do people bother posting these things?
It's not like Bitcoin is hurt by people buying other coins as well. The people buying shitcoins might be hurt by it but Bitcoin will not. After all, it started on 100% "dominance" so the only way is down. Why make up some controversy here?
The also the fact that "market dominance" is completely made up. It is based on "market cap" which is a real word but completely irrelevant to Bitcoin. People don't speak about the market cap of the US dollar or even of gold. Because it would be irrelevant.
Then there's also the fact that the majority of altcoins aren't even traded at any remotely reputable exchange. People sell a token for a dollar, then make another million tokens which nobody wants to buy and somehow that counts as a million dollar "market cap". Which somehow would unseat Bitcoin "dominance factor". It's ridicolous on the face of it and it's really tiresome when people pretend to take it seriously in some misguided attempt to pumpt altcoins.
Some seem remarkably dismissive of the shift - does this reflect its unimportance, or their defence mechanism against a situation they were sure would not occur? I observe every imaginable way to paint the obvious as what it isn't.

Sure, suppose the ICO craze spreads even further. It carries the ETH price to a thousand bucks. Or several. Whatever. Something extreme.
What exactly have shifted? Will your BTC be worthless? No. Will the companies and services go away? No. Or consider the other way around, there is a new DAO and now it's worth fifty cents. BTC doesn't care.
For a something supposedly declared obsolete, altcoin shills sure have a fixation with Bitcoin...
That's a little like rabbis asking what's shifted with the whole Christianity thing. I'm not sure if they will be the new religion, but they're proselytising at a faster pace currently, and that's bad news for those of us who seek power above belief.

We are comparing a method of knowledge (science) to a system of belief (faith), which is not known for revising itself based on new evidence. Even when it does, the “wrongs” are blamed on human interpretation. Science is all about improving ideas to get closer to the truth, and, in some cases, completely throwing out theories that have been proven wrong. Furthermore, the claims of religion are virtually all unfalsifiable, thus cannot be proven wrong. Therefore, comparing religion and science on the basis of falsifiability is a faulty comparison.
Bitcoin isn't a science any more than a Quartz clock is a science. They both apply it, but they are not it. Also, we are not looking at these brands of technologies in and of themselves, but at their dissemination and market value, which very much involves belief, just as it did with preceding forms of money.

Hello Wall Observer, my old friend
I've come to troll with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while Adam was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Was a block chain
Within the sound of trolling
In restless dreams I trolled alone
Narrow threads in speculation
'Neath the halo of a monitor glow
I clicked a tab to bitcoinity show
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of an all time high
That split the night
And touched the sound of trolling
And in the all time high I saw
Ten thousand trolls maybe more
Trolls posting without typing
Trolls moderating without reporting
Trolls writing posts that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of trolling
"Trolls," said I, "you do not know
Trolling like a cancer grows
Read my posts that I might troll you
Take my keyboard that I might troll you"
But my words like unconfirmed transactions fell
And echoed in the wells of trolling
And the people bowed and prayed
To the Bitcoin god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of satoshi is written in the order walls"
We dropped our jaws
And whispered in the sound of trolling
lol have to plus rep that.

Bitcoin is getting segwit and there will be no hardfork. Once the market understands this reality, BTC will hit all time high in no time and you want to be holding 100% of your wealth in it when that time comes.
Save for some miracle, there's going to be a hardfork to 2MB later in the year. We also have the split in the codebase, with miners trying to corporatize the code.

But what % of miners are actually running the btc1 garbage? I was under the impression that most miners were still running Bitcoin Core and not btc1.
Well, if everyone is running btc1, then im sure I know now why the price is not taking off to an ATH. We can't get an ATH if people are running shit code.
It should be equal to the number of miners signalling for BIP91, as Core doesn't signal for that BIP (unless, as bitserve mentions, they're running a patched version, which could be just as bad).
Ha, was only a matter of time. Maybe all those clueless buyers will gain a little bit better an understanding of what it is they're bagholding.

Is this "sell the news" or speculation that once SegWit gets activated there will be problems?
Or just the fact that the price stopped climbing so people will take this opportunity to sell some coins until the next leg up.
Probably the latter. We'll be back up soon enough though.

Thanks. People who think that we may see sub $1000 or even sub $2000 (possibly, too early to tell) again are delusional at best. Just take a look recently what happened:
1) Major exchange is gone (BTC-e).
2) Biggest Bitcoin mixer is gone (bitmixer).
3) Several darkmarkets are gone.
What has Bitcoin been doing since these events occurred? Kept skyrocketing. The honey badger does not give a fuck and keeps storing wealth.
Contradicting all those pundits who claimed BTC's value was dependent on crime.
This is crazy!!!!!! Remember during the last crash when people were contemplating suicide. That time is probably just around the corner, but will be a much worse this time as we have mainstream media attention at a larger scale
You don't even know what crazy is!!!!!! Seriously, you have no idea how high we could still go. Breaking ATH is massively bullish and growth rate is still increasing.

It does seem that BCH efforts are being redirected in what i can only assume is anticipation of seg2x but they kinda shot themselves in the foot and now have to keep two fronts open. They're spreading thin and can't go in either direction without pissing off their support base. It's ironic that they undermined themselves with a BCH, as without it it'd be much easier for them to rally troops behind 2x

What’s wrong with LocalBitcoins? On the rare occasion that I’ve sold some of my stash I’ve sold there. Never had a problem with them as long as you sell to somebody with multiple 100% positive feedback.
Yeah, long record, large trade volume, real name verification and check for any negative scam feedback. None of it is a guarantee, but drastically reduces the chance of being stitched up like a kipper.
Back in 2013 I didn't take proper precautions and sold to low-feedback users without ID - that resulted in me being paid with stolen money and having my bank account frozen. Never again.

Yes, of course, losing coins or having other significant support non-responsiveness issues could cause a considerable degree of frustration and maybe even loss of money (at least opportunity costs, in the case of dealing with money)....
So, if you are so down and out about Poloniex and you are lessening your exposure, where would you go, instead, to trade Monero and/or ETC?
I'm moving my trading over to Bittrex. They verify accounts quickly, and you get a generous withdrawal limit there based on BTC (Polo's limits are based on USD which increasingly sucks - it's only $2K for a basic account).

It just took a couple of months to recover. The crash from $1200 to $200 would rank as the toughest, It took years for the price to recover.
In percentage terms, I think the fall from $32 to $2 would be the largest.
I contend the fall to $2 was the toughest. The holders then were truly staring into the abyss, as price had never collapsed by so much before. The shrill cry of "it's just a bubble" would've rung truer in their ears. The drop to $200 felt like a cakewalk in comparison - Bitcoin had proven its resilience.

3 million?
With 200 000 euros, at 6% yearly interest rate (stock market), this gives a yearly interest of 12 000 euros. This is actually the same as my yearly expenses. So i could stop working right then.
With 400 000 euros, at 6% yearly interest rate, that is 24 000 euros per year. 2000 per month. Double of what i am spending now. So that would be very comfortable living. (+ another 10k yearly to spend from 70-110 years old so i spend everything)
With 500 000 i would have 100k to burn in addition.

The person did in on Bitmex. If he had 100x leverage, he only lost USD $480K. If he did 25X leverage, he only lost 1.92 Million. Still, a lot of money. Judging from the amount of the rise yesterday, he probably had it on at least 15x leverage, which would be 3.2 million.
I could be wrong though. He could have had lower leverage and has had the short open for quite sometime, and lost more money. If that were the case though, he should have cut his loses long ago.
I don't trade on Bitmex, but looking at their margin requirements, you can't do 100x on such a large position. At ~7800BTC, your margin would need to be around 38% judging by their formulas:

Bitcoin could have saved the world, but it got taken over by the Bankers and now has Retarded itself to a max. 6 transactions per second. Visa, and Mastercard are laughing their asses off at RetardCoin while simultaneously breathing a sigh of relief that a major threat to their existence, Bitcoin, has been removed.
Now it's all up to Bitcoin Cash.

Im slightly confused on how CME will affect the price of bitcoin as there is no actual bitcoin bought in their trades and people using CME are basically just betting on the future price. Or have i got it totally wrong?
The price of bitcoin should converge with the futures price due to arbitrage.
I'd expect institutional investors to go long given momentum and that we're at ATHs. It's probably going to be easier to push this to $20K than say $2K.
Actually I am less and less inclined to educate people on the facts and prefer to let market do its work, i.e. redistribute wealth from those who are ignorant or got it wrong and yet refused to admit their mistakes.

I was thinking that Peter Vessenes's trolling forcing creditors into becoming long-term hodlers, was actually helping people to get more than the supposedly 56K JPY per BTC pittance from that settlement. But the WSJ article is actually suggesting otherwise and that the case may be resolved soon? Any source/link to that fish diet info?
I don't think the WSJ article suggests that the case will be resolved soon, only that creditors wish that it would be. Fluidjax posted a link to

I can't do that because of privacy reasons, I admit I may set the fee a little lower than average but last time a made few transactions half a year ago it was confirmed in few hours in worst case.
If it's gone that long without confirming now, you'll probably have to rebroadcast. Also, if you mark transactions as RBF, you have the option to bump up fees during congestion.

That's a good point, and it probably isn't. There's been around 43% inflation since, so it makes a big difference.

You probably don’t want to calculate what 30 days of 20% growth would do to the Bitcoin price because it will make you vomit.
You probably don't want to calculate what 30 days of 20% shrinkage would do. "But I was in the pool".

I thought $10k was the top and expected a crash back down to $7k. It really freaked me out when it relentlessly kept pumping up to $20k.
Since then the exchanges freezing new registrations have made it glaringly obvious how many newbies are buying in. With that much new money coming in I doubt bitcoin will have a big crash.
I'm inclined to agree with your view that it will go sideways while the newbies use it to buy alts. Maybe in a few months we will see another pump.

There hasn't been a 50% or greater drop since the ATL. The "safety net" has been pierced, and we're likely to require a much longer period of consolidation before the resumption of the great bull. Hopefully we'll be looking at a year or less.

btc used to be 90% dominance. That changed when we started getting investors and retail traders who know nothing about cryptocurrencies, instead of all the buyers being from the technical community and knowing better. It's kind of like the penny stock market where average joe retail traders are buying up companies that dont even exist to a $100M market cap, just because its cheap. These are good days to be a developer or an altcoin trader, just not a bitcoin idealist.

You can emulate it in Windows as well. Tbh, I prefer /u/ymgve's script, as you don't expose your private keys to anyone. I've looked at the source and it all seems legit.
During the '13/'14 downturn, there was just constant dumping. Thousands and thousands of coins, over such long months of non-stop dumping. It baffled everyone. Then later when it was revealed that Mt. Gox had been hacked two years earlier and was insolvent, I suddenly realized where all those mystery coins were coming from.
Didn't WizSec's findings reveal that the majority were sold before the 2013 rally though? I'd probably say it was responsible for $2, not for $200.

A heads up on the airdrop situation. You can now sell a bunch of these fork directly through the latest Bitpie wallet on Android (
must download the .apk).
You have to first move the coins to the "Pie Bank". Once they've received enough confirmations (
schedule here) they'll be available on the exchange. To access said exchange, you have to select your coin from the main screen then tap the button along the bottom that looks like the refresh or recycling symbol. The orderbook takes a minute to load. You may then proceed to dump for BTC. You can withdraw to your wallet from the bank without ID verification.
At the moment, the only one worth dumping is BTP imho, which, at
BTC0.0003 and a 1:10 ratio is fetching around 0.3% per BTC.

BTP is (as far as I know) was Bitcoin Platinum - which doesn't exist anywhere. They seem to be calling it "Bitcoin Pay" which is also very sketchy / non existent. Who on earth would buy these shitcoins?
Yeah, I managed to make about 1/3%, thanks. Apparently it went as high as 0.6% on a pump, but I missed that. God knows who's buying. Maybe crazy Chinese looking for 'cheap' coins, or maybe Bitpie itself as a way to popularise its wallet?

Hi that’s great advice. I am still in accumulation phase. I triggered some capital gains when I sold coins bought in 2013. I have started buying back lower with profits but the price has continued to fall. I think that if I liquidate my new position on the last day of the tax year in my country, then I can offset trading losses against capital gains tax, and use the funds I have set aside to pay taxes to rebuy the following tax year (a few hours later). Obviously timing is critical.

If you snatched the prize from somebody who would have otherwise won, I don't think they'd be too pleased about that, even if you do donate your windfall. You're working with new information now that wasn't available to the other participants, so you shouldn't be allowed to compete.

The thing is none of those addresses include, obviously, the virgin blocks (never moved) presumably mined by satoshi.
All the accusation seems to have been based on documentation and testimony provided by Wright, which has a track of compulsive lies and forging of documents.
The plot thickens.
This is the most ridiculous thing about it. They claim it's undeniable that they were involved since the inception, but it's all based on evidence (I use the word loosely) brought forth by Wright, a man whom they even accuse of forging and backdating documents.

I don’t buy and hold shitcoins. 5 hours is a long term hold for a shitcoin. On average, I profit on shitcoins. Sometimes I make mistakes but I cut them the moment they show weakness. Example: I follow Charlie Lee on twitter and bought Nano when his tweet came out. I exited with a 5% profit. It ended going a lot higher but I’m not ashamed to take a small profit immediately.
On the other hand I have bitcoin I bought 4 years ago and haven’t touched. Different asset classes, different trading strategies.
If you're interested in shitcoins, then you can improve your stack by 1/2% by selling Lightning Bitcoin (LBTC), which is one of the latest Bitcoin forks. You can find OTC offers on /r/BitcoinAirdropsTrades/
If you haven't sold your Bitcoin Pay (BTP), that's also remarkably holding around 1/2% on the BitPie exchange.
The next possible moneymaker could be Bitcoin Private (BTCP) that's a merged fork of BTC and ZCL.

Really? 1-2% over the full stash is SOME significant money.
What other forks have you already claimed?
I have claimed BCH and BTG only. Forks I mean... airdrops like Byteball, Stellar and CLAMS I did too.
Bitcoin Diamond (BCD), BitcoinX (BCX) and Super Bitcoin (SBTC). You can sell BCD and SBTC at gate.io (no ID required for trade or withdrawal). BCX can only be sold at AEX.com now for BitCNY.
Camku will sell the coins there for 5% fee as I believe they require ID.
You've really missed an opportunity with these forks as they were worth a lot more. You could have got 3-4% with BCX alone when deposits temporarily opened up at gate.io - made some bagholders that day

I tried all the exchanges and I ended up with Okex because it was the only one that worked for me today, even now exx.com doesnt work, but you are right Okex is the worst price for UBTC, better check the others just in case they are working for you.
Feels a bit sad all these forks coming to and end, its been real nice while it lasted.
The only ones I'm waiting on now are Lightning Bitcoin (LBTC) & Bitcoin Atom
Yeah, these third-rung exchanges can be very flaky. Always try the sites though Tor if you're having problems.
Not sure we've seen the end of this
forking madness yet, but our free bags of money do seem to be dwindling.
Managed to do UBTC but BTCP doesn't support segwit wallets and since the fork happened after I moved my coins to a Segwit enabled address I am screwed until they release a wallet that can do segwit.
By then the price will undoubtedky tank as usual.
Legacy addresses definitely have an advantage when it comes to claiming shitforks. The BTCP wallet from Bittrex will open up for withdrawal soon, so there could be some big dumpage. You'll also want to sell, as there's chatter that they'll burn unclaimed coins next year.
If you are in a hurry you can dump your coins here
r/bitcoinairdropstrades.
I dumped my LBTC&BTCP and some other airdrop coins before they even get listed on the exchanges. OTC trades are risky though. Don't do it If you don't know what you are doing.
Yep, sold my LBTC there. Has been doing around 0.5%, but the price seems to have dipped recently.

If I saw those balances above all moving at once I would expect the price to become too cheap. It would then spike down and back up again, sharp like shutting off a tap suddenly. After that the market tries to right itself in one direction but a more progressive way.
They could drip those balances in over 6 months, I really expect that but cant be sure with a liquidator exactly. I know with Lehman brothers, that company will be 'operating' running down its various assets for decades probably.

This's interesting. We're no-where near the dotcom bubble yet in terms of market-cap:
I generally agree with this. The idea that it's the end of a great bubble conflicts with the capitalization of previous great bubbles. The South Sea Bubble went to $4tn in real terms and that was confined to a single country (albeit a world power then).
As Tera points out, we should include all crypto in the calculation, but at ~$850B the peak is still rather underwhelming as the finale of a global mania.

Further there are too many planned mine expansions. A single planned mine expansion in Australia (BHP Olympic Dam) would yield 15,000 tonnes of gold and 90,000 tonnes of silver. That’s almost 10% of historical global supply from a single mine. No market can absorb that type of new supply without collapsing the price.

... allow me to butt in ... while the total expansion capacity of bitcoin value might seem infinite from our current 'small-time' vantage point it is most definitely finite, realistically we have at most 1.5 to 2 pimple tricks remaining (1 order of magnitude expansion over previous). A btc valuation in the USD300-700k range puts it at ~10trillion market cap or ~10% of global fiat monetary supply.
Another pimple trick after that would be almost total global domination of all monetary assets, which while possible is probably not realistic or desirable anyway.
Sounds reasonable to me. To reach gold parity in one or two decades is really an astounding feat. I do fear a bear market like no other after that point however. Nasdaq took 15 years to recover after the dot-com run-up, and perhaps Bitcoin will suffer such fate before we see more pedestrian and sustainable growth.

There are several aberration's if you look at the data from MtGox. This is wash trading imho and does not reflect an accurate model. In fact I regularly exclude that sort of data in my regression's as it is so patently artificial. YMMV.
I'm surely not on safe ground defending Gox, given the incompetency and interference of Mark, but I would lend more credence to the data than that. Gox did have trading fees, and that date represents the big capitulation to the $2 range after the 2011 'bubble'.
In any case, ever ever ever is not so ever ever ever.

I found HairyMaclairy's post to be insightful and illuminating. Even though I was aware of some of the shortcomings of market capitalization calculations I hadn't realized it was quite as bad as the example that he gave and it hadn't occurred to me that there is as direct of a connection between the total number of altcoins and the bitcoin dominance as there is.
To be honest, I don't think it is quite so bad. Anomalous data tends to get reported and excluded - and it is going to be more common on obscure exchanges and for minor coins.
To broadly sweep aside the rise of the alts as mere wash trading seems like wishful thinking. I don't like this shit any more than the next oldtimer, but newcomers want their penny stocks and to cart their wealth off a cliff.

The gox trustee isn't allowed to dump any more coins unless the court orders him to. The last dump was because the court decided he needed more money to pay interest on all the fiat owed.
The trustee says he's almost sure civil rehabilitation will be approved, which means all those owed Bitcoins get paid back in Bitcoins. Although there might be another sale of a relatively small number of coins the vast majority are likely to get returned to gox's customers.
Yep, seems that way. If it goes to CR, we'll probably be looking at a year or more of lockup while all the claims are reassessed.

My plan is, from what I gather, similar to Bob's. I'd like to sell just under 50% of my crypto, put the proceeds in stocks, withdraw the standard 4% or so per annum, and let the remaining corn ride.
I will only do so when I can maintain or increase my current income. Bitcoin will be used for cars, airfare, and hookers.

If you test all possible combinations before finding a block. Best case, you immediately find it, worst case you find it on the last combination, average, you will find the block in about half the time of the maximum.
But no single miner searches all possible combinations by itself and as far as I know there is no decided range of combinations tested by each pool so different pools may end up testing the same combinations. and different pools include different transactions so operate in a different search space. This means that the upper limit is a lot higher than twice the average block time.
Random results do included things humans don't find random at all. 100 slow blocks in a row is less likely that 10 slow blocks in a row, but not impossible.
The search space is astronomical - we'd be waiting a very long time indeed if there were only one solution. Fortunately, there are many solutions within the space. You can still keep trying unique combinations and miss an answer for a
considerable time though.
There were far too much blocks in the hours before

Absolutely cause anybody that sell his or her holding in other not to loose because of the dump in price of the market such person person is already loosing. How ever, this remind of
Papa Laszlo the man who bought 2 pizza with 10,000 bitcoin back in the year 2010 and I knew he will surely regret doing that now. Guys don't sell your bitcoin now if it not for an important or urgent situation so you won't regret it.
I used to think for sure that such an early proponent of Bitcoin would not have sold all his coins, but turns out he did for peanuts. If he'd have just withheld 10% and applied a laddered exit strategy, he could still be enjoying the ride.

https://twitter.com/Excellion/status/1028426579158884352According to the Bitmain pre-IPO investor deck, they sold most of their #Bitcoin for #Bcash. At $900/BCH, they've bled half a billion in the last 3 months. If Bitcoin Core devs didn't disclose the Bcash vulnerability, it could've wiped a billion dollars off their balance sheets.
Nearly two million BCH? Are they trying to emulate the Hunt brothers?

the civil rehabilitation claims process at MtGox is now open. Any OG's who had coins there and didn't claim under the old bankruptcy proceedings can file a new application. Expected return is around 17% of any BTC and 100%, plus 6% per annum delay damages, for fiat.

My claim got accepted but I intentionally left out without claiming a small wire transfer to Poland bank that didn't reach MtGox before it was shutdown (yeah, big lottery I tried to play there knowing the extreme risk).
I decided not claim it because at that time I thought I had higher chances of having my claim directly approved if I limited it to mtgox acknowledged balance.
Do you think I could/should add it now without affecting my previous (and more important) claim?
You could try, but it'll probably delay your claim and I wouldn't have thought your chances were that high. I'm sure another guy got that part of his claim rejected for an incoming wire.
Whatever you decide, just make sure to re-file by 22nd October. Old claims are no longer valid as far as I'm aware.

This title screams "S C A M". What the fuck would you possibly want to know about highly effective/intelligent/successful people? They study and work like there is no tomorrow. They set a target and do everything to get there. They don't fucking waste time on this shitty book that's for sure.
This. Plus, when I see a list that has

There is a balance because sometimes we also need to go quite a ways beyond ourselves in order to really begin to understand the world, to engage in critical thinking and to understand some of the views that contrast with our own, just to possibly improve ourselves. We are not very likely to gain as many of these kinds of worldly knowledge points if we maintain book phobias.
The compression of experiences and their sharing that books facilitate is certainly useful. I'd probably still be a peasant plucking turnips without Gutenberg, so credit where due. As a vehicle of transmission today, I do think they can be inefficient though.

What do you consider to be our current trading range (which I would also consider to be a range in which you do not get excited until it is breached?
Something like $5,900 to $7,900 ?
Actually, might we NOT get too excited (or assume that the bottom is "in" until we give another really good challenge to $10k and perhaps go above it for a while?
Could take several months, as you seem to be suggesting.
I'd set the range at the previous low around $5700 to the previous peak around $8500. I'm less inclined to consider the range analogous to 2015 until we've kept our footing here for longer. With the 1-week MACD breaching positive, one might argue that this safe ground is more treacherous than it appears.

agreed. someone in a country with high inflation or a corrupt/insane dictator will allocate to those categories differently than someone in a more or less stable country. or some place prone to natural disasters that could wipe out vast parts of the land or infrastructure. each one must assign a risk factor and try to allocate/adjust funds accordingly.
now, if i were single, i would have much more of my net worth in btc. but im married now and much more risk averse. single, i did take much higher risks as they only affected me, no problem.. im an idiot, know it, and paid the stupid tax when needed. married, i wont risk our comfortable retirement simply for more possible profit. thats not to say i wont take risks for more profit at all, but much smaller ones than previously. securing our future is the priority. and to me that means more diversification. and i dont mean alts (junk), i mean non crypto. even though that has far less potential dividends, plus has its share of downsides too.
Nothing wrong with cashing out on the way up and securing your future. I don't think you need to be old or married to study that playbook either. While I think we're still heading to six-figures, the future isn't set in stone, and, after such fabulous percentage gains, diversifying into more traditional, lower-yielding assets is prudent imho.

What worries me is the inescapability of such flaws. As long as development continues and the complexity of a system grows, it's just a matter of time until the next subtle change causes unforeseen and undesirable consequences.
Development can't cease in Bitcoin yet, so the question is how to mitigate those consequences when they arise. Rollbacks of the chain damage the immutability of Bitcoin and potentially leave legitimate users at a loss.
BTW have you guys ever seen this?

For the last 4 years we had 100 fold increase between the lowest point and the ATH in 2017. It is logical that the same increase will happen in a similar time frame unless the mass adoption is near completition.
How can you assume that there will be a repeat of the 100x, but not assume that there will be a repeat of the 0.15x?
It'll quite possibly be neither btw.
In other words you believe the price will stay below 3K with probability 15% and below 5K with 30% probability for the next 3 years? I wouldn't give that much - 1-2% tops.
I don't believe he said price would stay under, just that it could be that price at point x. It's also 8-15% and 17-30% respectively.

4. There are some well researched articles showing that the Bitfinex/USD Tether operation has essentially been responsible for the ENTIRE price rise in bitcoin right from $180 to where we are today
Yeah right. Even if you believe that Willy Bot was ENTIRELY responsible for the $1160 bubble, it had to buy 1M bitcoins. How many bitcoins has Tether bought even if you believe that not a single cent backs it? Yet it is responsible for an even greater relative increase? I'm no fan of Tether, but that sounds like "well-researched", class-A bullshit.

Post 46930192 (copy this link) (by yefi) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_16.09h):
This part is nonsense. They didn't "have to buy 1M bitcoins" because to do market manipulation you only need enough to create movements in the right direction. Ever noticed how Bitstamp always follows and never leads ? (At least I've never seen Bitstamp lead a bullrun, it constantly has to be "dragged out of bed" by Bitfinex).
Manipulators use momentum ignition, but you need the demand there in the first place for it to work. You can't simply prop up a market that doesn't want to move in that direction because you'll quickly find yourself buying up significant chunks of the supply e.g. Bitmain and BCH.
Given that we have this record of 1M being falsely bought, and they have bought less, I consider the importance of Tether to be overblown and calling it entirely responsible for the rise to be fearmongering.

Text on the graph is wrong. Altcoins declined as well, just in proportion to their relatively low mentions compared to Bitcoin.

You should also know the TV license has always been entirely to fund the BBC, through all of its outlets online, on TV and on radio which are free and carry no advertising or sponsorship. Most people in the UK rather like the BBC. Even if they do moan about it, they would not see it gone by any stretch of the imagination, nor do they prefer endless ad breaks, as some countries seem to love.
Personally, I'd be fine without the BBC, but then I don't watch Bake Off, Strictly, or whatever. In fact, my aerial hasn't been plugged in for eight or nine years now.

No chance. We’re at the bottom now. I’m buying right now and will keep buying all the way back to $6,500.

A 100% retrace back to $6500 in a week would be a hugely bullish signal at this point. A sort of Silk Road bust event that would cement the bottom. I doubt it myself, but been in this game long enough to know anything is possible.

Why not to buy now....? If you buying 5.5k and avg down all the way to 3.5-ish ...... that would all be perfect buy’s not, if the bottom isn’t in yet Then nobody knows where it is, and i think
BTC’ers could be happy with all the prices given from now on
Not?
If you're buying now, then you really should've been buying in the past at higher prices as part of a cost-averaging exercise.
If you're just buying now as a catch-the-knifer, then the entry point looks poorly chosen to me. A breakdown of major support means we're likely to face lowers lows or an ample window of consolidation where one's position can be reanalysed.

I read about it in Wired Magazine in early 2013. I was familiar with gold farming in WOW so it didn’t seem too outlandish. It took a second mention in the media in November 2013 for me to pay attention and find this forum on google.
I first came across it from a news article on the BBC's website (of all places) back at the end of Feb 2013. The little tyke had just surpassed its previous ATH.
From a deep cynicism of the traditional financial system, it was like a breath of fresh air.

I would like to ask a question to the long term hodlers governing this thread, the ones with the hat: How down do you think the btc/usd price can go before next ATH?
If we assume the 2014 scenario, then 2700 would be the absolute bottom with consolidation in the 3000s before the next rally. We also have the formidable weekly 200 SMA around 3200.
It doesn't portend well, however, that we're down more than at this same point in the 2014 cycle: -80% vs. -77%.

Not sure what do you mean by the "same point". In time?
Overall 2013-2015 decline was 1160 (bitstamp) to 171 (coinmarketcap data) or 85%.
So far, this cycle it is 19873 to 4035 (lowest), which is about 80% (79.7%).
Right now, it is 78.8% (still much lower than 85% in 2013-2015).
Yes, I meant in time - days since the ATH. We're 341 days in now and the low point at ~4035 is around -80%. By comparison, 341 after 30 Nov 2013 the low point was ~275 or around -77%.
It may not be significant, but you'd kind of expect the bear market to be slower this time round due to the larger market cap and lower volatility.

Am I the only one that has fears the price of Bitcoin would never even reach the last ATH? I mean, yes, I think it will, heck, I think it could happen as soon as in less than one year from now or, most probably, around the next halving but.... I know there is a non-negligible possibility of that not happening, ever.
What are you guys stance about that? Let's be honest here....
There are still too few who own bitcoin, including institutions, that it seems unlikely we've reached the saturation point. Also, it is nearly always the older generation who are skeptical and the younger who are enthusiastic. Dimon hates bitcoin, but his daughter buys it, for example. It's a trend that should be in our favour for at least another twenty years.
The charts are well within the bounds of a normal deflation as well. We'd really have to crash hard to ruin the long-term picture.

Well I am happily married for 11 years now so I am biased. Nevertheless, a 47% reduction in divorce risk is substantial. I was impressed when I came across that study. Combine that strategy with a prenup and I think the risk is manageable even if you have money if one seeks out character over aesthetics.

I too am looking at a 100-200k price range for the next bubble.
I am taking a scenario into account where it will take more years to get there due to the potential for a nasty recession in the coming years though. I am not putting all my chips on that scenario though, I have been prone to doomsday-thinking and getting the macro trends completely wrong in the past.
Pretty much spot on my estimate for the next bull run (assuming we don't do anything crazy like go triple digits). What happens beyond that I am much less sure about. Perhaps much more mundane growth or perhaps hell.

Not doubting the bounce...a relief rally, short squeeze, a bull trap, I expect all of those... just cannot help but think we will still come down to retest this recent bottom... maybe in a few days, a week or a few weeks, or even a few months, and don't get me wrong I bought a few at $3500 for the first time in over a year, but I still think we are coming down to retest the $3500 region.. if it is defended a 2nd time, and the volumes are nice I think we have a chance at a bounce, but I also kind of think we could break it and head to £3150 ish and test that region... ultimately I want to see a snappy bottom, that triggers my buy orders, and a healthy bounce with volume... this bottom feels soggy to me.
It could be we just end up with a soggy bottom and sideways in a range for a while... or it could be in hindsight a few months down the line I look back at the chart and say, wow that actually was a nice v shaped recovery with volume when viewed zoomed out and what an idiot... but after the recent price action and trend, and the ferocity of the recent dumps, I would much rather have added at $3500 and be on the outside looking in, than fomoing and then watching it fall past $3000, live to fight another day as they say.
This is BTC so I could be and wouldn't mind being wrong, and things could change, but put it this way I am very happy to have saved plenty of dry ammo... I am happy with the state of play and am unsure the gruelling down trend is quite over with yet.
Depressive I know...
Midterm and long term I'm bullish AF thou
Completely respect that. We are quite alike in our thinking actually, except I expect a longer bounce before any retest. I'm tentatively setting 2019 for the final bottom and have ammo to last me through to 2020. Hopefully we'll ace this cycle

You pay slightly over the market price but I quite like buying on Localbitcoin’s. They have an escrow type service that protects both buyer & seller.
Escrow does not protect you if the buyer pays from a hacked bank account, so you need to be careful if you trade with anyone who isn't a regular on there. The trusted name system can help - don't release unless the buyer's name matches.

I doubt Nero is as bad as his rap is.
Been thinking lately. Nietzsche was a genius. The kind of genius that the most intelligent men of our time consider a genius. Freud and Jung both studied him. He had unbelievable foresight. He was also insane. He was in love with a pidgeon.
God is dead, and we have killed him! What happens now? Without a greater meaning in life, man will succumb to nihilism, and crave dictatorship, for nihilism is not acceptable. And many millions will die.
That was his prognostication, and as it turned out, he was right.
Suppose he could see how bad the past century would be, and nobody else could. Who was there to talk to? To understand him? How could it lead to anything but madness?
Who in your physical life do you know that see what is coming?
I'm inclined to agree with the diagnosis of CADASIL to explain his later-years madness, rather than it being due to his detachment from his peers. Nietzsche was a sick man for a long time. It stands more reason for it to be connected to his physiology than to his philosophy.

I'd probably look at a chart of population growth.
If that were bitcoin, how do you think the chart would resolve itself? A nice, steady slope back to linear growth, or a rip-your-pants-off crash?

This chart shows UTXO distribution by age. Only the stuff at five years+ can be reasonably assumed lost, and that's only 20% of current supply or about 3.5 million bitcoin. Within that you have the Satoshi stash of perhaps 1 million bitcoin of unknown status.

But just as it was at the $19,990 level for a tiny amount of time, it would be the same tiny amount of time for the ultimate low. They're both bubble pops, just in different directions.
Triple figures would definitely cause massive redistribution, but it would also be plain fucked up. More so than double figures would've been actually, as at least that wouldn't have broken long-term momentum. I wouldn't expect us to dig our way out of that ditch for a long, long time.

It's because he's trying to force the flippening, and the current bear market is only helping him in this situation. I mean, just look at the market, Bitcoin is dumping like a fucking sack of potatoes, without any bounces (except the one to 4k+).
I dare you to find a similar pattern starting with 2013-2014. Even during the capitulation of 2015, where Bitcoin was considered a worthless ponzi scheme and the general sentiment was just negative, you had healthy bounces after every drop. This shit right now is just made out of vertical lines to abyss. It's clear that this nut case is probably dumping the bitcoins he stole from his dead friend Dave Kleiman into the markets in order to make it look like Bitcoin is crashing and people are running to Shitcoin SV. It's the exact same shit that happened back in 2017 with Shitcoin Cash
Craig Wrong has timed this thing perfectly. He has managed to leverage the current bear market into his favor
He's nothing more than a figurehead for those who actually do hold the reins. The idea that he himself has hundred of thousands of BTC is pure BS. It's like what Theymos said, if you talk enough shit eventually some of it sticks.

Then it drops , and smashes through all support to $1150
Then the unthinkable happens... and it drops again
to $530.....
Markets are haywire, trading platforms freezing up, going off line, metric sites are spewing out jibberish
On Finex it flashcrashes to $75
Coinbase flashcrashes to $50 and goes offline
The price rises to $750 and stabilises for 6 hours
It drops to $350 and becomes stable for a day........... What are you guys doing at this point and up to this point? what is your next move? are you rekt? are you happy, are you trading hand over fist? are you drinking? are you jumping out of a window?
(Bonus question- Bitcoin SV OR Bcash or Ripple or Doge or ETH or some other shitcoin is simultaneously going parabolic and either Craig or Rog or Vitalik are on youtube shit talking about how they are now number one, what are you doing? did you FOMO SV or Bcash, Doge or ETH or rando shitcoin? or no because rekt, rage quit, drunk etc) (EDIT for arguments sake lets say that the coin that has gone parabolic has already hit $5000)

You might have to clarify though: does receiving a Golden Shower from a prostitute count?
Depends, was that before or after he was tied to the bedposts and whipped?
And we are still scared. I am. Let's be honest, you too. Yet here we are hodling and thinking if the time has come to start buying again.
Are we? If anything I am quietly cheerful that n00bs have handed us back our coins again at another 80-90% discount and are once more decrying the untimely death of Bitcoin. Bravo n00bies!

In any event closely aligned with my current thinking and still relevant. Largest concern is a lack of “bitcoin is dead” newspaper headlines at this part of the cycle, and the fact that the price is down a bit further than it should be for early December.
The lack of a convincing bounce on this drop from 6000s is a bit unusual too. I'm struggling to find an analogue anywhere on the weekly log chart.

this market right now feels a lot more like the the 2011/12 bear than the 2014/15 bear, more vicious, organic, dog-eat-dog and less managed/contrived/orchestrated/manipulated.
In 2011/12 all the stolen Gox coins were being dumped, effectively increasing supply as they were being accounted for twice.

NIce! Yes, people were following it on the BETI thread.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=470453.0 We were supra-exponential for a bit last fall, now below the trend as your graph rightly shows.
EDIT: Bobby Lee says $333K in DEC 2021. I will sell some at 200-300K to whoever would want a piece, lol.
Last time waiting for BETI 1.5 (it would have been 28-30K or so) did not work out. It would have happened if not for CME.
Not to sound like an old fuddy-duddy, but at some point the line will not be held and we'll have to "endure" mere linear growth (this being a finite planet and all).

The overall feeling was similar to other bear markets - agony, despair, etc. However, many of us took to heart the rumors of bitcoin's demise. It seemed likely that bitcoin would, at best, remain something of a hobby for cypherpunks. OTOH, the despair was different. It was more about the loss of a dream, and less about the loss of money. Since BTC was so cheap, most people only had like a few grand invested, at most. Unlike Dec. 2017-18 when even the shoeshine boy lost $100K+.
You guys deserve respect for persevering through that. You pretty much blazed the trail that we could look back on for confirmation that Bitcoin would survive the worst.

$415 a pop right now. $7B market cap. AND up 12.5% on the day. In what way is that worse than ETC?
By way of the most relevant metric: ETC/ETH : BCH/BTC.
ETC $1B / ETH $28B
BCH $7B / BTC $96B
Nope. Still not seeing it.
You are comparing ends with starts. Here is an overlay I did between the two ratios. Daily ETCETH is from Polo and is yellow/blue, while daily BCHBTC is from Bitfinex and is red/green. Time scales are shifted so both align at the point they hard forked:
After a year, I thought it informative to produce an up-to-date version of this chart comparing BCH/BTC to ETC/ETH. Each has been adjusted so their start points are equal and for BCH data after the fork I have combined BCHSV/BTC+BCHABC/BTC ratios.
Despite getting pumped a little more over its lifespan, BCH is now exactly where ETC was on its journey.

Yup, that's a great advice. Only reinvest what you plan to reinvest and keep out what you plan to keep out. In "practical sense" only what you take out for good should be counted as profit taken. Other than that is just "trading".
If I've any other advice, it's read about rekt lottery winners. In the same way that reading the stories of rekt traders teaches us how to trade, reading their stories teaches us how to manage wealth. It's stupid how many of them blew their winnings and ended up in the same dead-end jobs. How ironic would it be to withdraw a million plus dollars from bitcoin and to then still end up as a wage slave?

That's why you also don't sell major amounts, such as more than 50 % because you will run out of bitcoin, if you sell too soon in order to sell more.

UK HMRC chucks in its two pence:
Only in exceptional circumstances would HMRC expect individuals to buy and sell cryptoassets with such frequency, level of organisation and sophistication that the activity amounts to a financial trade in itself. If it is considered to be trading then Income Tax will take priority over Capital Gains Tax and will apply to profits (or losses) as it would be considered as a business.

The good thing about the long gone exchanges is that you can use them to fill the blanks without no way for the HMRC to prove otherwise. Of course the "filling" must be reasonable and coherent with all the rest of data available.
If you don't have the records, I believe the wisest and most conservative approach is to use zero-cost basis for any missing bitcoin acquisitions. If you're fabricating trade data instead, that could land you in hot water in the future. HMRC have up to 20 years to raise a tax assessment if they believe there's a deliberate attempt to evade tax, and in 20 years the tools available to them may be rather sophisticated (unless the world is a crisp according to Roach).

Does that absence from the Bitstamp numbers mean that we should take the volume data with a grain of salt? Are we being duped by some folks wanting to suggest a bitcoin trade volume level that does not exist (or an exaggerated set of data)? Many of us likely realize that sometimes there can be misinformation that tries to manipulate us into doing something that we would not otherwise do... for example, FOMO buying.
When Crypto Quantamental who compiled those figures don't appear to provide sources for their data, it makes you think so.
Their figures seem quite similar to Coinmarketcap's, and like Hairy said there's a lot of questionable volume being counted over there. Supposedly today's top exchange

'Deadly' is an understatement. I just spent 3 days carefully pumping years of data into Cointracker and it has left me in horror. Apparently I am liable for more than I took out by a large amount of money, as it says I made such huge 'profits' from trading in the 17/18 tax year that if I use this software to declare it, it will render me effectively destitute.
Every trade between those old Bitcoins and a certain alt that I bought for pennies show up in trades in late 2017 as huge (yet never actually realised) profits which were calculated AT THAT TIME. What I took out was life changing, but the tax amount I now appear to owe (so this software says) exceeds both my actual real fiat gains AND most of my remaining now 'lower-valued' stash.
I really was content to pay my dues on the gains, now I am forced to re-think. If you're about to submit a tax return: seriously - take care? It's the value at the time of the trade they're after, not what you have made in fiat. Which is patently unfair - since if it was just trading between BTC and frothy alts and not cash, it was quite genuinely not realised and has of course gone down in value hugely since December.
Trading Hodlers: BEWARE if your jurisdiction accounts like this.
Well damn, that sucks.
Are you sure Cointracker.io is calculating CGT instead of IT and that it is set to UK for S.104 sharepooling, the same-day and 30-day rule? If so, the figures should be accurate provided you've supplied all data to 5th May.

Did you account for air drag, or did you only consider gravitational acceleration?
I took an average pebble out my garden. It weighs 10 grams and has a mean diameter of about 20 mm. If we assume it were perfectly spherical with a drag coefficient of 0.47, travelling through air with standard density of 1.225 kg/m^3, and plug the figures into the formula for terminal velocity we get: sqrt((2*0.01*9.81)/(1.225*(3.14*0.01^2)*0.47)) = 33 m/s or 119 km/h.

Currently, I am think that it is going to be pretty likely that I will be taking some BTC with me when I die, but ideally would be to spend every last satoshi by the time I take my last breath, and second best scenario would be to be able to bequeath anything that I happen to have by then (hopefully not too much, by then.. hahahaha).

So the plot thickens. Apparently, under Japanese law standard practice is to accord 50% voting rights to rejected claims. That means CoinLab would hold majority voting rights and could veto CR taking everyone back to bankruptcy. It has been suggested that this may be a means for Vessenes to extract a favourable settlement for his claims which he knows stand on weak ground.

Apart from the one idea about attempting to spend as many bitcoins as possible before death, there's going to be a lot of this loss of coins through death happening, which is a little bit problematic for intergenerational maintenance and passing down of value... even though the overall loss of coins is bullish on the BTC price due to increased scarcity.
It's a dilemma. Do you relinquish control and permit your funds to be spent without your express permission, or do you maintain that control but recognise that your stash will die with you.

Well, the problem would be when to sell if and when we get to somewhere between 100K and 1 mil.
it would suck to sell a bit at 100K if 1000k (a mil) is following closely.
In 2017 the price was both $800 and close to $20K, almost a 25-fold difference.
Therefore, it is entirely possible (although not likely) that both 100K and 1000K would happen in the same cycle.
Some mechanistic approach might be in order.
Seven figures, inflation notwithstanding, is surely decades away if it does happen. We can't just hype our way to a valuation greater than the world's major stock markets. That kind of money will require more pedestrian and sustained growth - a new era for price development.

A phase transition from fiat to btc/crypto might happen and would be much faster than "decades".
Many people are penciling in next ATH in 2021 at $100-400K.
The next ATH after that could be projected to occur in 2025 at $1mil or thereabout.
Granted, this would require the large scale abandonment of fiat in favor of bitcoin/crypto.
Can it happen? Perhaps.
How irresponsible would the monetary authorities have to be to allow a transition to crypto on a bubble? The transition needs to be soft and slow - one more in tune with the conservative pace of those who govern.

The Coinlab claim means creditors are unlikely to see payday this year. Indeed, if they decide to fight it through the courts, it could takes years before it's resolved.

It is certainly undeniable that the computing infrastructure we have today allows many more use cases than than of a generation ago (or even of a year ago). Accordingly, 'bloatware' as an argument is weaksauce. Yes, as processing power cost drives toward zero, it makes sense to spend more computing cycles for a more enjoyable experience. This I see as positive.

Luckily coding is extremely easy for most of the jobs. If you can say what your program should do out loud you're already half way there. There is tons of work for low level programmers and people just throw money at them.
Just because it uses fancy terms like ML or AI doesn't mean that you're not just regurgitating the same methods over and over in the majority of jobs.
Not everybody needs to be a researcher designing or optimizing algorithms.
Even if you take some sub 100 IQ person. As long as they are capable of language as well as repeating steps somebody else has already taken they will be able to pick up the skills required for low level programming jobs. They really aren't much different from stacking blocks or chopping wood.
Five years would already be far more than anyone could reasonably need when working part-time, but even if you round up to ten years that still leaves at least a few decades of high earnings for most people. But why bother learning something for 10 years if you don't know if it will pay off right? Wrong. And that's the problem.
There are countless other jobs that people can learn in similar amounts of time too. Most people just don't want to put in the effort needed once they are off work and I can totally get that. But that's everybody's choice and not something that the rest of us should be forced to compensate for.
I've seen people struggle to use a photocopier or a fax and you're telling us they can become programmers? I'd like to see it.

I'm sure everybody in this thread has seen people struggle with even dumber shit. For some reason some people either don't have the right mindset to identify solutions to problems by themselves or they are inherently incapable of doing so.
However, you can certainly teach those people how to use a photocopier or a fax and basic programming is no more difficult while also in high demand.
People who drink bleach as an elixir have already solved all their problems. The remainder can use the internet, which is what I did. I have spent years scavenging the internet for dozens upon dozens of different paths. There's no wizardry going on here, literally pick a bunch of acceptable categories and a bunch of desirable ones then go from there.
You can't tell me that people are too stupid to Google "What jobs Y that involve X are there and what are the salaries?" and then follow up with "What paths to Y are there?". And I also don't believe that people who immediately fold are inherently incapable of following instructions until they commit them to memory.
Could perhaps we be taking for granted the privileged inner workings of our own minds, effortless as they are, and generously applying them to others where they do not exist?
In any case, I'm more than happy for them to continue doing what they're doing. More pie for the rest of us.

My mistake june 2016
I don't remember this, so I checked the thread from the 23rd June 2016 and it came to the rescue:
Is bitcoinity malfunctioning? The chart shows a spike on bitstamp down to 1.5 dollars about ten minutes ago, but there were less than 200 Bitcoins dumped to get it down that low. That must be a malfunction, I can't believe anyone could buy a bitcoin for 1.5 dollars
[brokenlink]
edit
It must be a bitcoinity malfunction because bitstamp's data page shows today's range never went below $540.17

Bitcoin is not some sort of voodoo magic, it's still physical, atoms are there moving. Proof of Work needed to generate certain combinations of atoms, which cannot be generated out of thin air as you need said PoW. Metalheads have a hard time grasping this.
Charge carriers move rather than atoms. Your point is still valid however.

My quibble-nish arose...sorry yefi.
It is my belief that everything is in motion so to speak. Angular momentum and other kinetics obviously play a fundamental roll in our Universe and their influence can be easily observed. What is not so obvious to our perceptions is that everything is vibrating at its own unique frequency.
Certainly atoms in solids can vibrate, and increasingly so with heat, but they're fixed in position relative to each other. Except for ions in electrolytic capacitors and batteries, PoW is not moving atoms in electronic circuits.

Also a Superflare (alias microNova) event from the local star would wipe clean anything humans might leave behind. Most wont get their heads around it, but the article basically says they have hard observational evidence, from observing thousands of sun-like stars, that these things are happening on the order of 2k years, like clockwork. It is not a matter of if but when.
The study would appear to demonstrate that for a slowly rotating star as our Sun, the flare would be limited to 5x10^34 erg, or about 500 times the
Carrington Event. That would be bad, but hardly wipe-humans-clean bad. Indeed, if they do happen every 2000-3000 years, they don't appear to have had any great impact on pre-electrical civilisation, as the lead author readily admits: "If a superflare occurred 1,000 years ago, it was probably no big problem. People may have seen a large aurora."

If yes, then I would still be paranoid of seed bruteforcing. There's something about Electrum that wouldn't allow me to sleep at night with any relevant amount of money in there.
The seed is just another way of representing a random 128-bit number. You'll have about as much luck bruteforcing that as a private key.

Keyword: a key. It would only take getting lucky once to get all of your money. With a wallet.dat you would need to go address by address. Who knows what those fuckers have in store when it comes to quantum computers within a couple of decades. Plus any mistakes on your part leading to key derivation exploits... yeah no thanks. Electrum seems like a bad idea for serious cold storaging.
The security of Bitcoin derives not from having many keys, but from having strong keys to begin with. The point at which randomly generated private keys become vulnerable to folk "getting lucky" we have a massive problem on our hands.
By the way, Bitcoin Core since like 0.13 I think has used deterministic wallets, so all your keys in wallet.dat are derived from a single master key now.

Meh Razer wired gaming mouse circa 2013. It’s nowhere fast enough on a 3840 display for my liking on max mouse speed.
At 5000 dpi you can sweep the whole desktop with a flick of the wrist. If anything the problem is the opposite at the really high DPI end as you struggle to get the sensitivity low enough.
I can't imagine anyone needing more than 1600 DPI at 4k res. I'd probably still use 800 DPI.
I like to keep the DPI at pixel parity or better for cursor smoothness. So for example if I'm moving the mouse two inch for a sweep of 3840, then I'd want 1920 DPI or greater.

Much more likely is the next peak at 35-300K (most likely around 150K), followed by a multiyear proper whooping.
What if such whooping will end up not the usual 80-85%, but 95% lower?
200k back to 10k? A proper teeth gnashing would ensue and most people would sell, most likely closer to the lows than highs.
I had this experience before (when Internet boom turned to bust). There were literally no bids for some stocks. Could it happen with bitcoin?

Anyone who wants to know, adam gave up his account, forum admins concluded that this thread was difficult to administer and closed down the thread. after complaints from forum members, theymos agreed to reopen the thread with a new thread owner that was voted upon by forum member (largely already active WO participants to my recollection).. accordingly, infofront has carried out a very laudable nearly non-interventionist approach that seems to carry out the spirit of the thread in a way that might have even been playing out better than the original version. Go Figure!!
Yep, just to add to that, the reason the first post was changed wasn't a FU to Adam, but was simply a pragmatic decision because there was no other way to easily change the thread moderation. If anyone has a problem with that, then download the source code for SMF and code a workaround...

And there is much more information if you start to investigate a little more.
I think a little investigation would raise a fishy smell with regards to these figures. Italy has a population of around 60 million, but here it is implied they make only around 30 million online transaction per year, or 0.5 per capita.
Total transaction volume for the UK, which has a similar population, is 40 billion per year (according to Finance UK). This includes offline as well as online, but is three orders of magnitude greater.

@yefi brother really possible exactly transaction volume ? i have confusion for this a lot of place transaction everyday different category so how to knows exactly amount?
Probably not. Finance UK, for example, is a trade association and the member banks provide the raw data on transaction categories and volume. Relying on banks to be honest isn't a great starting point for statistical analysis. The data will also be incomplete, as there'll be transactions that occur outside of the system.

Lots of peeps do it. It's not that hard to do. One could simply bounce it from one country to another, set up a business, and a bunch of other things. You don't need to be a billionaire to do it.
If you decide to put your fiat money in the system, it's already clean by then, and if you put it to work earning dividends, then you are paying taxes on that income, the government will likely not go after you. They have bigger fish to fry.
The guys revealed in the Panama Papers thought it wasn't that hard either. I'd just declare it and pay tax, especially if you reside in a country where the burden of proof is on you to discharge the tax authority's accusations

Kindly please do your own due diligence. To make it a little easier, allow me to give you a headstart, I'm on at least 3 different "List of Escrow" threads on bitcointalk. I've helped prevent at least half a dozen scammers from getting any coins (by refunding everything back to participants.) The largest in fiat value I ever held was close to $5m USD.
I categorically deny any connection to them, nor do I support them. Not too many other escrows in this Wall Observer thread, so maybe thats why I'm the only one offering it. More so to discourage them actually, as you can tell.

If we zoom in to last week, we see that in fact the red UTXO increase:
And we see that in fact the situation returns to be "stable" in the 6/12M range, so those who sold had bought for less than 6 months.
So it was #weakhands liquidation, because by crossing with the previous graph we see that they were at a loss.
In my opinion they were longs strategically placed who had focused on halving, going into stop loss with the collapse of the market (triggered by other reasons in my opinion).
The

Well actually holding is very easy like the first image. Just do not check the price of the coins. You know when you are going to need your coins to be used. After x years? Then come back after x years and see where you are.
You're basically just compressing all the up and downs along the route into one giant up/down at the end. I'm not sure that's better. I'd rather be informed along the route.
