Where do we have to sign for this? 
I personally (feel) see $1000 fairly soon maybe by new year's eve as someone suggests

Current small bitcoin dump may depend on the large LTC dump.

really weird. € is even more bullish. up 2% instead of 1%$. i guess someone found arbitrage and it involves a € exchange and bitstamp.  

I've had a sell order at $780 for a long time, set it up literally the second after the market fell in June and it hasn't been hit yet - wonder if we'll break it this time.

^^ this gif sums up the last 70 weeks pretty nicely. what a ride.

thank you.

Thanks for the hint, I'm learning quite a lot on this thread =)

Thanks for the link. Didn´t know it.

Very interesting.

$830 within 2 hours.

salma hayek. i don't understand what she's supposed to represent in terms on bitcoin. she certainly seems to make regular appearances here for some reason.

I love the optimism but history tells a different story.  It's hard to revisit highs after a major dump.  "Oh shit ... I missed the moon ... I need to get off this bitch ... I hope it bounces back up so I can recoup losses".

Those who held thinking they were going to get a better price and those who simply bought at the high get scared and pray for a chance to dump their coins. Hopefully to break even or make a small profit. Some are so scared they sell for losses.

History tells us bitcoin will slowly cycle downwards for some time. Believe me, I wish the opposite.

Recently, the Chinese government and the People’s Bank of China offered reasonable suggestions to Bitcoin exchanges and users, discouraging fake volumes and offline scam-like promotions while asking users to maintain responsibility for their independent actions.

But some media outlets, mostly western-based, used the events to spread panic among Chinese investors, leading the price of Bitcoin down to $830.

I think blaming the media for this correction is far fetched at best. The correction was due. Quit trying to blame someone for it.

this doesn't look good

I'm not sure about the time frame might take a couple of weeks maybe of not much movement. But I'm feeling comfortable about the bottom too. Looking forward to next week.

I'd cancel it. If it goes above $780 it will probably go above $800. The last high is a resistance point, and traders will have placed secret buy orders above it. If it stays below $780 the traders will consider the last two $779 highs a double top, and if it goes above $780 the traders will consider it as an indication of another bull run.

You are saying?  "if this is the bottom"

At this time, we have a price battle that kind of started three weeks ago and the bears kind of let the prices go up further than they wanted (or maybe they were kind of willing to let it go up)..... anyhow, now there is a battle that seems to be starting...   There is a disagreement about price. Sure, maybe we will end up in the $880s, but there are a lot of areas between about $600 and $1140 that we could end up...

O.k.  Maybe I am being a bit broad with my description of the range.. but it just seems too early to call anything...

There is a potential of another test of support in the lower $800s, but yeah, maybe we don't go there, and then that scenario would be bullish... but I don't think that you can determine either bearish or bullish in the short term because we gotta get some resolution of this $600 to $1140 range... which is pretty fricken broad at the moment, and surely if we do not get further test of the bottom and $880 ends up being the bottom, as you are suggesting, then that would be a pretty bullish scenario that does not yet seem to be a given (I would ballpark that scenario at less than 45%.. but yeah surely it is difficult to know for sure while in the very beginning stages of what appears to be a disagreement about price)

And I would add finally!
4 sweetest digits ever IMHO. And now that I know for a fact that rich bullies are in love with BTC I'll hold onto my belongings even more. This is just the beginning.

You can reserve swaps without utilizing them, which can get you a better rate.  So there are 22k btc reserved, and 16k already sold, leaving 6k btc sitting there ready to be sold for the right price without any additional swap cost to the trader.

I always thought the difference was because BTC margin was used for long position in the other markets as well as for shorts in BTC.

I don't use Finex personally, so I'm not sure. I'd have thought that would be the case though.



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.

  That's great, you should have one for Finex as well though.

1350 Finally broken on Bitstamp!

Back at 15k

There is literally only one review made by a non 1 post special.

Everything in Altlandia now has had a meaningless pump. They are running out of shitcoins to pump. I guess they'll have to go make some new ones real quick...

Yep. Got an e-mail from Bitpay today to say that Wavecrest are not supporting it anymore.
Was told in the email that the funds will be returned to my Bitpay account.
Not sure if there is another card issuer out there for us Europeans.
I have a virtual Wirex card but I don't like their monthly fees.

Bitcoin card provider BitPay was also affected, telling customers in an email: "We are already in discussions with potential alternative issuers for the BitPay Card which will allow us to serve customers in Europe and beyond."

Visa said the cards had been suspended after Visa terminated WaveCrest's membership due to "continued non-compliance with our operating rules", although it said other Visa cards that convert Bitcoin into normal currency would not be affected.

"Visa has other approved card programmes that use fiat funds converted from cryptocurrency in a number of jurisdictions. The termination of WaveCrest’s Visa membership does not affect these other products."

Just claimed my BTG, what you guys sayin: dump it now or wait ? Only thing I know about it is that it is auf GPU minable Fork.  . Too many shitcoins out there to study all.

I'm probably not the right "Peter," but I give Dr Wright the benefit of a doubt. A shadow of a doubt, mind you, but it's possible. Similar to the possibility that I will win either the Megamillions or Powerball jackpot this weekend. (I bought 1 ticket for each.)

This piece of news hasn't been discussed much here yet, so what do you think of the Wavecrest debit card shutdown? The official word from VISA is that Wavecrest didn't comply with VISA regulations - but there's no hint at which specific regulations were disattended.

To me, it smells like a few governments put some pressure on VISA to end that service. VISA have been swift to oblige, as they always are as soon as a big actor uses power voice mode. But I might just be a rookie conspiracy theorist...

Maybe he has...

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we've held most of yesterday's gains... currently $16908USD/$20988CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Old coins are now worth $19951USD/$24766CAD (Coinmarketcap).

Do we see $20k before the end of the month?

I need it to hit $24999 on the 10th jan

New Sell-Attack?

So you... don't care how your family feels about it. Alright.

FFS the block size again? Has anyone noticed what's happening with the price and alts and stuff?

I posted recently we has some dojis and would have an interesting day - and indeed we did - a predictable breakout. Now have a look - we have a situation that could be misinterpreted as a BTC bull trap by the shitcoin-tards and that is exactly what has happened - alts recovering a bit after their recent falls.

In other words, BTC has already passed the capitulation phase and it ready to boom again, but the alts are still in denial that this run is over for them. /r/ripple etc are still bullish - they are ones who will end up selling ripple at the bottom and FOMOing into BTC when the price explodes.

Still bullish AF

Thank God that I have not had any BTC stored in Electrum Wallet for months. I read the git on the issue. Amazing, they knew about it since November and poo poo'ed it back then.  
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/3374

I updated anyway and created a new wallet to use. Just in case that I ever want to use it in the future. I retained the old wallet just in case I need to verify anything with the old keys for an airdrop or something.

The reason is because someone gave them a demo on just how serious this was. Thank God the demo was by a white/gray hat rather than a black hat.

Have you been over in the "Flat Earth Theory" thread in Off-Topic ? There is no educating those people. It's pure religion.

It taught me the value of ignoring certain accounts outright.

Bcash supporters are the Flat Earthers of the cryptosphere.

Seems like it is doing the same pattern it did starting in Jan, maybe there is hope

Looks hopeless at the moment. I dont see why bitcoin ever should go up to new aths. Too many alts 

Is there a chart that shows the amount of fiat moving into crypto?

Get the fuck out of here.

RIGHT. OUT.

GO.

Cutting it close there, Bitcorn...
Remember, we want it _above_ $16k
Thanks dawg!

what the actual fuck coindesk??

Sorry folks, I tired to talk her up. The Bitcorn, she don't listen to me no more.

Bitcoin is holding nice and steady at $15k+
I am still very content and am mostly surprised about big altcoins losing this morning (but scattered throughout the market) and little alts flying.

The markets are changing...

Its called CONSOLIDATION.

January is historically one of the most BEARISH months.  So far, January 2018 has bucked the annual trend. But we have 1-2 more weeks of potential bearishness - even a potential move back to 10k. But after that, we will be back to our uptrend. Generally people have lost their collective minds and all rational discourse about simple things like consolidation have been completely thrown out the window.

He stated he was not doing coin of the day anymore but coin of the week, after that he posted again a coin of the day and then stated he was hacked, the tweet is old news and I suppose everything is resolved now.

Seems like he is really dumping dogecoin on his followers, shame on him  

Rocket is 18 January 2018 again, guys. Mark my words 

dude, it is "need to know" information...shut up

I think I might sell some stuff to buy cardano in the hope that it passes bcash

ffs, when are these exchanges going to open up for new accounts again?

If you want your exchange to take 3 days and have no support contact at all and are left worrying what is happening with your money then it's great.

Do you need help? I have a Bittrex account. Normally, you don't trust anyone else but yourself, but this is part of my job description around these parts. I hodl other people's money. PM me if interested. I don't day trade, so give stuff a day or two to get sold / exchanged / traded.

I was really speculating that bitcoin's market cap and price will surge starting 1st week of this month but i was wrong or maybe i speculated it on a very early date. I am just wondering if what's happening to bitcoin's status right now. It seems so stagnant and i noticed that all top 10 cryptos goes down.

I'm surprised no one created a Jamie Dimon Coin, JDC yet.

Is anyone still not blown away that we are still 15X up from where we were a year before?  

Last year at this time, I guessed we would end 2017 between $1600-1800. And I was so wrong.

So Ima make the same prediction, I say we will end 2018 somewhere ~$22k-26k.  Even that would be a great year to me.

So far it does not compile unless you install libsodium.
Once it's compiling, it doesn't not run unless you find and install the very latest libsodium.so lib.
Once it's running, it doesn't download the blockchain, because I guess i am the only one on Earth to run this, or something.

That is all.

17% buyers fee ? -2% sellers fee ? That's outrageous !

You're getting fucked both ways !

Sheeeeit !!!

No. At the time of the fork they stole all mine. There was supposed to be a phase 2 distribution.

Phase 2
Final round of Distribution of UBTC
The second and final distribution phase of UBTC for the Bitcoin community will end around noon (UTC +8) on 3rd January 2018.

Hey, Karma ?

It's me, BobLawblaw. That dude you've been pretty good to over the last decade or so.

I pulled my sell order. I'm sorry about that hubris.

Can we please not re-test $14,250 USD/BTC now ?

We good ?

$12000 in 6 hours confirmed

Whats merit standing for ?

Why are we falling below 11k again? jesus

Is this going to be a good alternative to Tether?

https://cointelegraph.com/news/uks-royal-mint-launches-gold-backed-cryptocurrency

On Jan. 25, Russian authorities presented the Digital Assets Regulation Bill, which defines and establishes a regulatory system for cryptocurrencies, ICOs, mining and trading.

According to the latest update of the bill, the Ministry of Finance is aiming to legally adopt cryptocurrency trading, since it would reduce the risks of fraud and increase the government’s tax revenue, due to the potential for fiscal transparency.

I closed off my short on the last terrific shake down to 7.3k. Too much profit to ignore.

Then I thought - before starting to nurse it again, why not go long?

So I have a long position now, from the past low. It's in profit right now, but I would like to wait a bit more before closing and reversing it.

So, I think this is the problem with margin trading. You begin cautiously - it's a hedge, you know - and before you know it, you turn into a gambler. A winning gambler for the time being, but that's the point: the change in attitude. Using margin trading properly and sticking to the plan - ot at least to the mindset - requires lots of discipline.

My hunch about quick-reversing and longing is still paying out, but if I manage to close this in profit, I'm going back to my safety short. Then let it go down to 2k. I won't care.

He was the first GPU miner. He'll have tens of thousands more coins.

Jercos – the man who earned 10,000 BTC by selling two pizzas

Cointelegraph also had the chance to speak with Jeremy Sturdivant, also known as Jercos, who participated in the original Bitcoin pizza deal as the recipient of those 10,000 BTC that he turned into two pizzas. Sturdivant, who told CT that he turned Hanyecz’s BTC into fiat for a trip when they were worth a couple of hundred dollars,

You think a publicly known early miner would admit to still retaining coins? I sure as shit would not.

Good time to go to Turkey on holiday, cheap as fuck, been twice. Food is a bit shit but weather is great & beaches are nice.
