Im expecting this bull run on XRP will not end before it hits $5

I thought this was the price discussion topic for bitcoin not a discussion thread for the price action of cripple. But now we're at it anyway. I hope if it does hit $5 it will be dunked to the outskirts of the sub top 100 on cmc. We still need a good meme for a legendary pump 'n dump.

ha, it is way more likely to be number 1 then under 100 (ripple has always been near the top also). I wish this wasn't happening, and by all logic there should of been a dump by now. But, its not happening. I don't think this is like 2013 where the alts were literally just pump and dumps, the coins now are too mature and with ever increasing innovation. It will be very hard for BTC to maintain its dominance.

I think what we are seeing at the moment, is that BTC is now just becoming another coin, it may not lose it's top place this time, but it will happen eventually.

Nah what we see here is banks trying to take over the space. I don't think ripple will go away anytime soon, these guys are not Roger Ver... Can pump XRP for a lot longer
I bought some XRPs with my play money, but I'll probably hodl my BTC stash till 0 - unfortunately they figured out that people greed is the best tool to beat BTC

Edit so I don't look like a bear: I think there is still a good chance we get out of the top resistance and push up, same greed/fomo that has driven the alts surge might move BTC high

This is just another attack on bitcoin. And this will certainly not be the last that bitcoin will have to overcome. Bcash already failed in impersonating the bitcoin brand however Ver is still trying on Twitter. Now ripple is giving bitcoin a run for its money. And if the institutional banks are really behind this all and this turns out to be a coordinated attack, than I have to give props to them because using the greed of these crypto virgins is brilliant. It's all fun and games when they're in the green but if things go red...

Can your family say no after you are dead?

Dunno. Don't care. I'll be kinda dead. They can make Christmas decorations out of a bucket of my gonads for all I care.
So you... don't care how your family feels about it. Alright.

I doubt anyone will want his organs. They want young peoples organs for transplants. Old peoples are worn out and won't last as long, and I doubt gentlemand is a spotty school kid.

Well if you are unfortunate enough to be in a life threatening situation to actually be in the need of donor organs, you may not even have a choice. Atleast where I come from there are hundreds of people on waiting lists.

I do not regret calling Jamie Dimon a fraud.

I'd like to acknowledge that I see what you did there.

not by Izzy sorry

I couldn't control myself from laughing for a minute. I just love how he came back to his orignial statement that bitcoin was a fraud. These guys are really made themselves look stupid by saying such ignorant things. Let's see if your predicition turns out to be true.

Sideways is boring, cmon we need drama we re addicted to that  Tongue

It's getting a little bit weird at this point. Since I joined this space there have rarely been periods (atleasy periods that lasted this long) where bitcoin was going kind of sideways in a slightly bearish fashion. Of course we can't forget the gains we've had last year but it still feels so not like bitcoin.

To put our previous annual dip into perspective:



And that's exactly why you should always think outside the hourly or 30 minutes chart. Atleast try the daily or heck even the weekly will do the job as long as you keep things into perspecitve. Another great tip, never bet against bitcoin. You will always end up regretting it one way or another.

Legit hoping for lower prices. In the long term the trend is up and I can sustain myself with side business, so low prices just means more coins.

In a sense u would like to see sub-10k bitcoin as well (if I had the funds to buy up more, which I don't). But I'm afraid we won't see a sub-10k bitcoin again. I'm pretty bullish short term. However if we do go sub 10k again we might be in for a longer bearish maket.

oooooh, another shot at the bottom

Again all alts are also down massive. what the fuck is going on this time.

When bitcoin dips almost everything else dips, and bitcoin has dipped a little during the last few hours. It's a good time to buy.

It only demonstrates how strong and dominant Bitcoin still is in the current markets. People who claim Bitcoin is being dethroned can steaight up fu** outta here. Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy. Now's the time to be greedy.

I'm also curious where BTC will be at the end of 2018?

As are we all.

Somebody did a monte carlo simulation based upon a random sampling of daily returns. The center of the probability distribution function was $55.5K.

$55,530 center of distribution
Probability of less than $13K - 9.84%
80% confidence interval: $13,200.00-$271,277.00

You can quibble with the validity of past returns used as a basis for future predictions, but its one analysis.

https://medium.com/@xoelop/weve-simulated-the-bitcoin-price-for-the-whole-2018-you-won-t-believe-the-result-4a602679dac2

That's a pretty solid analysis (bookmarked), $55K is a very realistic prediction. I would only assume that at the end of 2018 $55K wouldn't have been to all time high but still a very good price estimation. At the end of the day it's still educated guessing but it was refreshing to see a HQ price analysis based on raw math.

which exchange is next

coinbase, bittrex?

who are the thieves


The folks over at Coinbase can already be considered as thieves. The amount of apparently 'lost' wire transfers to coinbase that I've seen on reddit this year already and last year as well is disturbing. Some are still pending since october/november-ish and still nothing to this day. No support from coinbase whatsoever. How are these guys still in business after everything that has happened?

I never understood the need for a HW wallet anyway. Is it that hard to write down your private keys? Or memorize your 12/24 word seed?


Some people just want to create the illusion that they're physically holding their money, on a device that is specifically dedicated for it. You could very well write down your private keys but of course some people are extremely good at losing stuff (especially at a single piece of paper)

The bleeding is slowing, time for that unending crawl back up IMO. As I am young and still haven't worked a career job, my retirement plans are non-existent. Have fun retirees, I want to hear about some nice river-boatin, gun-totin', cigar-smoking, seastead-floatin' stories in the future

If the forum sees some serious updating, this thread better stay in tact. How the hell do I merit anyone. My guess is that I can't!

I've also got a long road ahead of me before I can start consider retirement (I would be kind of taking the piss at life if I were to retire tomorrow at my current age  Grin). But hey maybe when someone finally decides to slap that bulls a** those dreams will come a lil closer.

Wanna hear my theory? That in 2017 the flippening into alts, constant bitcoin spamming, FUD, and eventual creation of BCash were all related... a deliberate, multi-faceted, year long campaign that was well planned in advance. Whales and hedge funds started the crazy Bitcoin volatility and FUD all the way back in Jan 2017, and did it for one purpose: for all of the year, to shake as many people out and away from Bitcoin because they already knew that Bitcoin Futures were coming online in December (they are insiders after all -- and insiders know things well in advance of the public). And they couldn't just run the market straight up, that's not how big players take long positions. They were constantly pumping and shorting the whole time, all the while slowly ramping it up and building their long position over an entire year.

It's pretty obvious in hindsight. And if I'm right about this, then we should start to see alts slowly and almost imperceptibly bleed back into the Bitcoin market over time. We may even see a few "controlled demolitions" of some alts here and there, and their markets likely won't recover to previous ATHs after that.

This is probably what has been going on everything is related. And if it actually is they did a pretty damn good job as well. We shouldn't underestimate because they were smart as hell setting this all up. And while a lot of the people are FUDding, panickselling and cutting losses, they are setting themselves up at ridiculously low prices.

The whole crypto world is kind of laughable right now.
The most ridiculous point is ALL of them are going up and down roughly the same %.
This is idiotic from a rational point of view.
One day up 20%, next day, down 20%.
Explanation: more FUD on Monday?
BTC leads the way(do I get merits for this?)
More FUD till price reaches 2k (do I lose merits for this?)
Might want to check out the logarithmic chart, which pretty much says that the bottom has already been in at around 6 to 8k when compared to the last big crash.
I dont think the bottom is in.
IMO If price  breaks 5.7k, then I have 2k bottom
Also, look at your bottom! lol...too much takeaways! j/k
no stop hunting, no institutional buy orders. Not a bottom.
Please tell me why price should adhere to your logarithmic chart?

I am anticipating some last downward movement but certainly not as steep as a $2000 bottom. We'll see, usually I'm wrong when I make these kinds of predictions so hopefully we've actually hit the bottom and are establishing some kind of support around the $8500 area. Still waiting for a green confirmation candle on the weekly. From there the way is up.
