where are those guys that are buying with both hands?

now is the time!

It was actually Sunday night, October 5th in my neck of the woods,

Its wrong
You should write: bulls waiting pump

Lmao. Only 15 % in 2 Days!!

Some guys here are losing touch with the reality.

https://www.tradingview.com/v/Dx9hLqQ1/

This is suggesting that ~$235-240 will be the bottom and a price of $5k to look forward to in just a few months

Can you imagine that?... doesn't seem very realistic at this point

Not necessarily. They could dump inexistent coins and buy them back later at a much lower price. A sort of reverse Willy.

Why would people sell now, the price is so low?
Why would you sell on the way down?
Some people have no balls.

AFAIK, Coinbase does not invest in bitcoin either.  Their profit does not depend on the price of bitcoin, but on how much USD they process.

I would guess (just guess) that they are valued so much because they plan to become a competitor to PayPal (including dollar-to-dollar payments rather than just bitcoin-to-dollar like BitPay).   

ltc is dead


btc might rise, but not ltc

I can't foresee much on the horizon in the immediate future. GBTC trades above market would be significant but bureaucracy seems to be delaying that for a while yet.

Still $26m in longs.  Someone is going to get margin called very soon.

who is with me holding and buying?

wonky_tonky should be kicked out of the whale club for using a linear chart.

Even miners who sell immediately are making a profit that comes entirely from people who buy bitcoins expecting to profit from them by that mechanism I described.

Miners who mined long ago and held, as well as the early adopters who bought thousands of coins for nearly nothing, are just like the issuers of private money who keep some of their issuance to spend when it has been accepted as currency by other people.

He is. The real deal is in da house.

was that just a fakeout? because i might have just bought the top....

yes, will open on Tuesday due to dragon boat festival

Bitstamp just broke out the log downtrend.  

this dump is normal because it went up too much and too fast

The pattern is the magic number $266.

We might be stuck here for a while if nothing pushes it up quickly.

Exciting week for BTC so far.  Let's hit 280 today!

I'm not a trader or TA fan or something.

But what about this:

whats going on with this countdown?

Is it real though or a fake one put up to trick people into buying? I don't trust the walls any more. I'm no trader (long term HODLER) but I've seen walls put up & quickly taken down on all the main exchanges. Whales be manipulating. We'll see I guess, it's pay (wages) weekend for most people in the UK so people who buy in monthly will be active this weekend. I've already bought 2 bitcoin today, 10 dollars cheaper than this time last week, thanks weak hands

The Bitfinex wall is just ridiculous.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/iNw3WvP.png[ /img]

No.

http://xtnodes.com/

Only one of the last thousand blocks has advertised XT compatibility.

I sold when I see 245$, now I think it's great time to sell. I'll buy again when the price comes down 220-230$ range.

Bitfinex went from 4 times the volume of Bitstamp half a year ago via 1.5 times two months ago, to a half of Bitstamp's volume the past month and a quarter the past week. Is BFX dying?

I don't know much about it but have you tried https://search.disconnect.me/

Good morning and Merry Christmas to all of Bitcoinland, bulls and bears, investors and traders alike.



Peace on earth, goodwill to all humankind.

Well some of us suspected Bitcoin Classic was a trojan horse meant to change governance and than switch to BIP101 and the numbers are indeed reflecting that --

Up at the highest rated approval we have BIP101

https://bitcoin.consider.it/BIP101

Democracy in action folks! Letting the mobs of idiots and people who want to destroy bitcoin vote for its future.... wonderful.

yes , you can see it's the most requested change to Bitcoin Classic at the top.

Just two months, halving is approaching.

Bitcoin Block Reward Halving Countdown:
Only 36 more days!

You're mistaken.  Sure, only up 1.37 % in the past 24 hrs, but taking into consideration the fact that ETH price has increased MORE THAN TENFOLD!!!1 in 2016 alone, I consider that a minor setback

This really is a bilious community venomous community poisonous community disgusting sperghole. No wonder Satoshi got sick of this shit and split.

@DonQuijote: It has been, it's getting better play in the media, people aren't actively trying to distance themselves from it, but profitable in the future?
Will give you a better tip: Don't take financial tips from Anons on the internet. Wait...

And another pathetic 2k dump barely budges the price.

Huobi telemetry lost...

No dude ... this is just a mentality diversion that the ice men set up for us! I see them buying without stopping till $1500-1600$. Many people will dump at 1100$ and 1200$ / 1300$ ... but it will keep going up!

It will be a slaughter!!! 

You mean the down leg to $900? Halving is coming. Get ready everyone get ready.

Yes: Bitfinex 666

this is basically all that we know.

i dont think there is any formal public information/analysis of what happened in bitfinex.

$1337 target 

You forgot to add March 15th to that list. This year will be fun times to watch..

Date that U.S. debt ceiling freezes in at $20T, U.S. govt runs out of budget money by mid-summer unless debt ceiling is raised or DRASTIC govt budget cuts happen (like hundreds of $B slashed).

Or a default (yeah right). Or a govt shutdown (yeah right).

Good luck with that one Trump-supporters! (We'll see if the Emperor truly has clothes or not)

No permabulls werent right. They say HODL all the time. That makes them lose much money, because if they start looking at charts and analyze them they will see good moments for selling and buying coins for cheaper. Going permabull with 100% HODL ratio is just stupid imo. And people recommending that to others are also stupid for me - they have nothing worthy to say about chart, that's why they post "HODL" - only way to add their 2 cents to the speculation.

just to support my idea:

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Good to see we're still over $1200... $1212USD (Bitcoinaverage).

It's been pretty much flat since this time yesterday. Consolidation is good.

Keep the steps up steady and moderate. Gradual growth is best.

Yup! Exactly!

Some stupid people around here, specially in this thread, create too much panic on moments like that.

This train can't be stopped!

Is there even a point to shorting anymore? Just go infinite long and you will make infinite bitcoins.

You should stop watching the 1m chart if you are so sensible to minuscule movements

exactly. Cant wait for SegWit on btc in august.

BTC READY TO SKYROCKET NO COINS LEFT UNDER $3000 HOPE YOU LOAD before THE PUMP

BTC READY TO SKYROCKET NO COINS LEFT UNDER $3000 HOPE YOU LOAD before THE PUMP

This is scary:

Antminer s9
13.th/s
1300w

time to generate 1 BTC with 13.5th/s 175 days
daily power cost at 0.06 cent rate, 1.87 US/day
175 day x 1.87USD =

only 327.25USD power cost to generate one BTC!!!!

Cost of 327USD would be fine at rates like 700-1000USD but hashrate is atleast 3 times too small to support current 2200USD price.

Hashrate has no time to correct this, price will.

Bitcoin is at 2640. I am really glad I didn't pay for hookers when Bitcoin hit $500 a few years back. I would be feeling less pleasurable now.

2640. That's not bad.

I am in.

Maybe we should all wait with bated breath on what Trump or Obama thinks about Bitcoin too? Or maybe the Pope?

Will $2000 hold?

I don't know how accurate this story is, but if China's Sichuan Province really is banning Bitcoin mining maybe that's another factor in the dip. It's a new twist, China "bans" Bitcoin mining instead of China "bans" Bitcoin.

https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-mines-in-chinese-province-sichuan-allegedly-forced-to-shut-down/

In the end, it's all about money. The alts are not evil in and of themselves. If you don't understand something, it's good to stay away from it. Have no regrets. But if you can see an opportunity without directly harming anyone else, why not? Even bitcoin will have its losers (the ones buying high; but if they just use it to do value transfers, like buying something, they don't really lose) but that's the way it goes, all of this is voluntary.

The only reason I own ETH is I'm spreading my stuff across a bunch of alts. In the end, they all go back to bitcoin. (And the other alts have their uses too.) I got some precious metals too, because ... because!

i will sell all my bitcoins at $7400

and will buy the shit out of alts

Weird there's still so much confidence in alts. There was a sea change in their behaviour when they ate the world this year. They have nothing to show for it really. Has Dash made the world a better place?

Maybe there'll be a sea change back when Bitcoin whups their pert arses back into line.

I just saw that the house I sold last year for $260k is now on the market for $325k.    

That guy sure did invest wisely.

All I got out of it was a couple hundred BTC at $650 each.

This kid is like 5 years from a total nervous breakdown..

Remind me!

wtf going bch?

BCH HashPower ~40% in the last 3h, 25% in the last 24h

total according to fork.lol

has many more statistics like tx fees and so on...don't know if its reliable

https://fork.lol/pow/hashrate

So since the start of 2017, 380+ new shitcoins have been added to the list (as tracked by coinmarketcap.com). The list went from ~900 to ~1281 cryptocurrencies. And 6581 "markets", whatever the hell that means.

So Bitcoin's % dominance as tracked there is not being 'eroded' by other alts supposedly taking market share away. It's being eroded % wise because of all the shitcoins merely being added to the ever growing list.

In other words, just by virtue of adding a new shitcoin to the list, Bitcoin's % market share of the total is shown to go down. Because the individual fiat market caps of each new shitcoin added are fakery. Complete bullshit.

A more accurate way to track % and total market share would be to restrict the list to say the top 500 by market share, and anything below that gets taken completely off the list.

What an argument! How come nobody thought of this before... Bitcoin doomed, never moon!

Wtf is with kraken No answer about bitcoin gold

Now is bitcoin gold on coinmarket with a high valeu

It' going to have atomic swap and lightning network and all the other bitcoin goodies.
It looks like there is quite a devote group of followers that really believe in that coin. That could explain the high price.

Look at this prediction I made in 2014

This whole price discovery process reminds me of that Fight Club scene:

"I felt like destroying something beautiful."

We all know how the central banks fared at the end of that movie.

"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything."

7000! Where's our memes?

Get the 8000 memes ready. And most especially $10k.

All those late-to the-party pansy whiners who were wishing, praying for a correction to load up on, here it is. Load up!

The magical Bitcoin time machine only comes around once, twice, three times at most...

It will pop back down to 40k, after it pops at around 150k. No source. Just gut feel. No guts no glory!

@CobraBitcoin https://twitter.com/CobraBitcoin/status/970736614275153926

Increased my holdings of Bitcoin Cash today. There was a long need for a blockchain good for payments, that makes certain tradeoffs to achieve that, and I think from a UX point of view, Bitcoin Cash has much better chances of winning the upcoming payments war than LN.
7:03 PM - 5 Mar 2018

@CobraBitcoin
Bitcoin Cash is a parasite coin that aims to undermine and suck value out of Bitcoin. It’s not like other altcoins. We should be prepared for a BCH pump during fork which could have unpredictable effects on miner incentives and harm the true Bitcoin block chain.

I believe that the average overall growth rate of Bitcoin was about 0.47% a day.

That makes a theoretical 2.3x each 180 days.
