Bitcoin will go up or down or stay at the same price.

It's going to crash and let me tell you why. Satoshi Nakamoto is going to see the price at bitfinex and poloniex and he is going to sell.

Satoshi Nakamoto... the first Tether billionaire?  Grin I dunno.. even Satoshi probably doesn't want anything to do with usdt right now.

Can someone explain what happened with Tether? , -4% lol.
Tether wants to be stable right?
I really missed out on this one, its related to Bitfinex right?



Kraken is offering 2x leverage usdt/usd so expect it to keep falling.


I'm amazed USDT lasted as long as it did but the writing is on the wall.

I don't have a sodding clue what's going to happen. It feels a little like we've entered an alternate dimension where sense has tailed off into irrelevancy.

Welcome to my world.

(the ways of bitcoin devs of any flavor are mysterious to me) Sad

I think there are a lot of early adopters who have already seen so much life-changing profit that they are relatively indifferent to progress and merely want to preserve what they have. Subliminally, of course. Publicly they all take certain stances but how many of them are seriously set in their views and wouldn't change if the new circumstances were favorable to them? I wager not many.

Bitcoin: 77000 unconfirmed transactions and an All Time High.

Makes Sense  Cheesy

Well, I just sold some of my shitcoin and was making a move to Coinbase to cash out like 0.23 BTC so I can pay a bill or two. Guess that isn't going to happen anytime soon. I'm sure this recent spike in backlogged transaction is some kind of manipulation. I haven't bothered to look, but I'm sure the mempool is full of spam right now. Angry

Price is skyrocketing, news of ATH is rampant, and all the backlog is spam.

Couldn't be that the recent trend has people moving funds to/from exchanges. You know, in order to take advantage of unique trading positions. Naah.

Gotta be spam.

Right.

It's not low value spam, it's a bunch of Indians moving their life savings.   Grin

Amazing crop this year.. thank you bitfinex.. awfully ripe though, looking like it's almost time for the harvest  Cheesy

some people cut flowers once a year ... others log stands of timber.

Don't cut yourself.

Agreed, and I do keep a large percentage of timber  Wink.. but I've been through too many forest fires at this point not to take some profit. The general trend is upward but this movement since Bitfinex halted fiat doesn't look organic to me at all. I see storm clouds ahead.

Nobody actually makes any profit off of a btc rise until they sell their coins for fiat or spend them on something at an increased fiat peg.

This is obvious but essential.

If you are going to trade why not invest in a bot to do it for you? Or is that just how shit coin trading works?

Real men don't use bots. Actually, I wouldn't trust one. How could I encode my neurons? Bots have their niche, but they're always boxed in.

Having said that, do I feel weary. Trading every stupid hour of the day is starting to take its toll  Embarrassed

I agree, I don't really want to trade. There are things I feel I could be doing instead which would be more constructive to my life in the long run.

Damned if I don't need the money though.

Something tells me someone shorted the market. Could be wrong... but ..


If you had any hope the ETF would get approved, call me clairvoyant but my guess is NO.  Tongue

Now would be a great time for the thread's price prediction poll to come back.

What do you think Bitcoin's price will be on June 1st

>$2000
>$1500
>$1000
>$500
>$20

I guess $20. lmao  Cheesy

the first time a lot of idiots thought ETF is going to be approved and saw moon in their dreams so they FOMO bought bitcoin. when it was rejected they became sleepless.

In fact they were not so idiots if they sell their 1300$ FOMO invest at 1800$. Maybe lucky idiot Wink

Lucky idiot is how I imagine the majority of people who have gotten rich off of Bitcoin. Maybe I'm just jealous, but I think there's a bit of truth to it.  Cheesy

China is dumping hard, but the west is still hodling.

This song sumarizes it well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7TuFy0fcuw

Yes, seriously. It amazes me how people don't have the slightest care about the millions of btc and ltc frozen on chinese exchanges all bought at significantly reduced prices relative to the western markets.

Some say that's because it's uncertain whether or not they will have access to these coins again but I believe it's because they can get away with corruption easier and they have frozen the market to hedge a short against western markets which are essentially giving away free money to them. A large volume is frozen which means it will move in large chunks once it becomes available. It's not like if 2-3k btc were frozen. It's 2-3 million.

So what happened regarding the ETF SEC today?

I see no effect on price except a small fall in price that seems natural.

Any statement or something has been released?

No decision yet. Today was the deadline to submit comments to the SEC.

Why so fast? I hope it does not crash hard.

First they margin call shorts then they margin call longs.

I don't see what's healthy in this growth. I can't say I hate it though of course, but I'm much more sceptical about the "healthy aspect".

I think it's good old FOMO due to hungry new markets.

If you sat back and looked at the actual Bitcoin system, nothing's changed technically, merchant usage is becoming impractical, users are whining like fuck.

None of that's healthy. It may not stop it though. All it requires is more buyers than sellers.


Or exchange manipulation mafia bullshit.

Very possibly. We probably have that to partially thank for 2013, and China's subsequent shenanigans contributed to the price suppression with relentless dumpage. It would've been more reassuring if this run had started with a BFX that worked.  

What % of the new buys are from n00bs and what % are whales buying smart?

How badly has USDT inflated the charts on USD with nothing more than difference between usd and usdt?

You only really use the money when you spend it on something.

Bitcoin to $200


Bitcoin isn't its fiat equivalency. It is a strong independent medium of exchange that don't need no government.

...current price at Polo = $2150...

Is it just the beginning of big dump?

why are you quoting that place? it doesn't even use USD and it's barely working at the moment.

Working Better than Coinbase...
