My btc don't confirm no more. Blockchain.info is down. Ltc skyrockets and btc falls to the floor. Someone has information on this?

Another topic about this issue today.

But any way they should be more responsible.

I love people with this attitude.... Without it, I wouldn't have scooped up so many bitcoins last year under $100 after the massive rise then fall.

My opinion, within a year you'll be looking back thinking why didn't I buy more when btc was only at 600$

It's been hovering in the 600's for a while now. Last major dip was when the gox papers were leaked and that was only $100-$200 less than today. Kinda getting boring now.

According to BTC-E it is not falling that much. So, either People are very slow this time or better informed than the other times ...

Were you in Mt Gox when you bought your 100 dollar Bitcoins? And if you were did you actually get you Bitcoins or money back?

I think bitcoin is currently made up of fearless investors.. we lost the chickens in the drops from $1200, most players now read before selling.  (this is 100% speculation)

btc falls to the floor. 

Falls to the floor?? LOL!! I guess your idea of "falling to the floor" are somewhat different!

Wait what, why are people panicked about the blockchain being offline.
Bitcoin isn't falling nor is the blockchain itself?

Well, It's funny that 1$ increase in LTC is a "skyrocket" and 10-12$ drop in BTC is crash for people these days.

Percentage wise a $1 increase in LTC is far greater than $10-20 BTC swings.

Percentage wise a $1 increase in LTC is far away from skyrocket. I don't think you can say a coin is falling / rising if all the changes happen in one day.

Maybe, maybe not. I don't see it as an improvement if it decreases by $1 tomorrow.
Everybody will act like nothing happened.

Post by: gustav on March 18, 2014, 03:39:28 PM
ok, i admit now i was overreacting. I was just very confused that ltc broke free in this way from btc and thought btc could fail and ltc would go to 0.2 btc  or something. All good now... floor for btc

alts should be a buy now when we start the new bullcycle here and now.

Happy trading guys. And never panic like i just did like a freakin' noob!  ... lol ... lost me tradingfees now ...


Title: Re: WTF is going on!?
Post by: master-P on March 18, 2014, 03:41:27 PM
I think LTC is going up because Huobi just added it. It'll probably come back down in a day or two.


Title: Re: WTF is going on!?
Post by: enuma on March 18, 2014, 04:02:09 PM
SIMPLY

Huobi is about to add LTC.

If Huobi volume is real, can you imagine that amout of volume influx will do to BTC???? If they dont  add it might crash bad thought lol.

LTC now over $19. I must say I am impressed, although it is anybody's guess how long it will keep strengthening wrt BTC

BTC pulled LTC up in its last rise, will LTC pull BTC up as well?

New money/suckers pulled BTC up last autumn. This recent rally in LTC is just from old money. Eventually it will start crashing down as no additional BTC gamblers buy LTC.

The LTC/BTC pair chart is full of brief pumps followed by months long decline. Don't see why it would be any different this time.

lol nothing is going on you must be new to Bitcoin, this happens too many times at all price levels. If this downward pressure continues we see 500's again.

Also litecoin is doing great thanks to Huobi  :)

The LTC/BTC pair chart is full of brief pumps followed by months long decline. Don't see why it would be any different this time.

same patterns maybe but one scale bigger - last time we startet from 5$ - this time from 15$ ... expect a brief moment of 60-80$ for ltc in coming months. Also it could have an stable upwardstrend with not much spiking and crashing instead of bubbling up from panikbuyers like we know it since those people could be out of the market or less panicky.
If it doesn't bubble and crash, bubble and crash like in the past but trade up on a steady path instead it will keep most of the value it gains since the correction afterwards would only be mild. So less crazyness would actually maybe not be a bad thing for longterm valuebuilding. If it is traded like that this time around you'll see also new investor come in later because a steady uptrend with less downrisk attracts new investors for sure. That's what i would expect this time since crypto is known now and people don't need to panic so much with all the nice altcoins around (a train leaves every day somewhere) and everybody had now months to buy in low prices. So maybe it is less crazy but not less profitable this time. less spiking and crashing - more consolidating between periods of uptrends. Just a guess. I'd expect less volatility on btc and ltc overall. Also serious investors would buy over time and you maybe don't notice the new money at first before it becomes obvious as the uptrend could take longer timeperiods than expected. It is actually possible for bitcoin to always climb in price and never loose much given it is traded more calm than last time. It is designed to actually show that behaviour. I'd expect long, long, long periods of slow and steady gains as soon as new money silently floats in. All the pumping and dumping crazyness hurt everybody cuz it holds coinvalue low, leads to monopolised rippoff-coins and also keeps away more serious investors. so that could be the alternative to the known spike, crash and long decline patterns. We are now possibly in between the old and the new patterns. So you could see a bit of both right now. I mean look at ltc today! No spike, no crash - and that in the face of huobitrading! In those less turbulent conditions then even some altcoins could mature. Expect to make moneeez ;)
