+8.31 change for 24 hours as of writing. Hope this keeps on moving up!  what could have been the cause? One could have been the schedule bitcoin halving next year. Things are getting really exciting again! Dropping to almost $5,000 now i think this is becoming more exciting lol I wonder what can be the trend of this whole 2019 as we are seeing a good growth this past weeks and now starting to fall again Well maybe it's the trapped investora from last year that wanted to get out thats why they are selling atleast with smaller losses They're probably those small traders who bought near and wanted to have some profits. Long term hodler from last year will not do that because of the huge loss. Well, maybe some. |

I smell of a fudster trying to troll the community, err? what for? Giving all of these verbal stuff doesn't supported by any is just a plain attack. Simply does this mean, they would target us small users to stop Bitcoin? They would target exchanges and block bitcoin transaction broadcast (If possible?). If this happens then this will not just affect Bitcoin right, it will also affect Altcoins.
That can't be possible, so you mean the government will run through our IPs and block it? Perhaps that will be violates our security though. I suggest you to stop over thinking. I'm not over thinking it. It is possible (okay maybe) in some ways. They did it before by making ISPs abide rules, on blocking porn sites, or even detecting child pornography websites and users. |

~ Right know im - %10, btc raise and eth each price raise but im still going low, why?
Hodling for a longterm will be the best, so, HODL. Yeah of course if someone lost from active trading the best advice is to HODL for longterm  Its because of the value of the currency pair you are at which is BTC. And you are comparing US DOLLAR value. This will really confuse you. If you like looking at the dollar value better use USDT pair. USDT is pegged to dollars so the result of comparing would probably be more of what you like and need. |

While the whole market of cryptocurrency has had a solid 2019, one coin specifically has triggered up to 300 percent gains since the beginning of the year. Binance Coin (BNB), the official currency of to the world's top ranked crypto exchange by volume, has outpaced both Bitcoin and the market with its huge increases in the course of the most recent month. Given how Binance Coin has, to some degree, taken over the market surge, Is BNB the new Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is bitcoin and Binance is an alternative. If you want to use Binance for your needs, because Binance is also now accepted by some merchants, go do. |

If a scammer posts on someone else's thread then the creator of that thread or anybody else can post a warning.
ok maybe i should have explained my concern a bit more. 1- a scammer starts a locked thread selling gift cards. 2- uses a sockpuppet to comment saying he sells the same gift cards maybe at cheaper rate and posts his email/telegram contact. 3- another sockpuppet to vouch for the previous sockpuppet. 4- another sockpuppet to confirm the scam warning about OP and vouch for the first sockpuppet. This is just one of many other scenarios, i am all about optimism but i can't ignore the fact this move alone won't help newbie visitors the way we expect. you know scammers don't rest, it's pretty obvious that this will be their next strategy, so in order for us to keep fighting them, surfing topics alone will not be enough, we now have to dig into every reply. @sandy has got a lot of work to do now since this was her idea  I agree, some of the most valuable information and facts are in the comments. Sometimes the OP can't or simply forget to cover it. But, how a DT can track of these problems if there are lots of posts in a thread? Using a dislike like button on a post so other users can participate and help DTs? Oh or the existing report button. Logged-out users will now see a warning in trust-enabled sections if more DT members neg-trust the topic starter than positive-trust him.
This increases the responsibility of DT members not to give negative trust for stupid reasons, but only for things that cause you to believe that the person is a scammer.
<DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!> Good beginning, thank you. <DUCKING> Next step is to post that same warning on the same users even when the user is logged in! Yeah, I think this will be great also. But I think for now the negative user counter below the author's name is enough. Let's save that space for important announcements and for April 1. |

Since we are all here to learn things about cryptocurrencies and to share ideas with each other on a way to increase our knowledge and revenues on how cryptocurrencies market work and how to make money from it, I think it is very important we understand some basic things about how the cryptocurrencies market works and where and how to rendering services for money, selling products and trading coins in an exchange platforms as a newbies in this forum. Of a truth I am among those that becomes rich through investing in cryptocurrencies in 2017 and I keep appreciate the ideas behind the whole things. Having been trading forex, commodities and stocks it was easy for me to diversified into cryptocurrencies trading and that is because I know how to interpret candlesticks formation and chart pattern and I learned all this without paying a dime from the followingsites : https://www.forexpeacearmy.com, https://forums.babypips.com, http://pumperspicks.com/ultimate-altcoin-buying-strategy/ The only way to make money from internet and cryptocurrency in particular is to become skillfull in an area and if you want to be skillful in trading I will advices you to visit all this sites to learn the secret on how trading work as a newbies and form your own strategies. Remember to demo trade first before putting really money. I wish you join us at the top! Thank you for sharing your story. I've been wanting to do trading since 2017. Bought books and watched courses, but seems I'm doing things wrong. Because on the side, I am doing something else (blogs, programming, technical bitcoin and etc) and it seems that my job eats most of my time. So I realized I have small time left that I am using for those tasks, I need to focus on one thing at a time only, simply because as of now I can't lose my job. So instead of focusing on trading, because I realized I didn't have the money yet, I am now learning programming. I really wanted to be an indie programmer. After I get successful at this, I will then learn how to trade and hopefully have the money I need for trading. |

But I wouldn't use Bitcoin to pay for anything that fiat can pay with unless it's very necessary, if I were you. Bitcoin is a provably scarce resource, don't waste it. HODL.  Bitcoin for me is Gold also I will hodl as much as I can! I agree that if you can pay on fiat, then do it. You wouldn't want to waste earnings from buying at this time that it's low. |

This is great! I've seen these kinds of address before. But today it seems they are rare. A newb question this maybe, are we able to put the private key of this to a hardware wallet like Ledger Nano S? Another newb question, I read somewhere that this test public keys and private keys to match your requested text. What happens to those tested address? Are they reusable for anyone again?

I've been using either Bitstamp, either some exchange from my country, either Wirex card.
I've ordered the 3 by the fees, small to high.
Also people tend to not keep big bucks on Wirex cards because of some issues in the past.
For all of these you'll need to fill KYC though.
Choosing a reliable is hard for me. Especially that most of my holdings are Altcoins. I too was searching a reliable way to sell Bitcoin and in my country there is one. But for Altcoins I find hard to give my KYC. Do you have suggestions on how we can make sure an exchange will secure my KYC? Is there a legal entity behind this? Bitstamp seems to accept only few popular coins and most reputable exchanges do. |

It's because of the scam projects. They make the cryptosphere bad causing good new projects to not succeed. And these projects, if they don't succeed, they are also called scam of some people. IEO, the one Binance is using right now is a good start of filtering projects. So let's expect diminish in scam projects sooner.

@HCP thank you! I just tried right now and it works. It shows both legacy and Segwit transaction. Show that it is now Segwit compatible in Mycelium. Not sure what happened, but I am sure I added it the same way:  anyway its working now! So thank you! |

Really? I'm currently using Mycelium to monitor new transactions as they are segwit. I think segwit is the default. How do I re-import my Ledger showing the legacy balances?
Ok, so I've just checked this... and within Mycelium, all of my Ledger transactions, both "Legacy" and "SegWit", show in the same Mycelium account. When I click "receive", I can select the address type as "Legacy (P2PKH)", "Segwit compatible (P2SH)" and "SegWit native (Bech32)". However, in Ledger Live... these transactions and addresses are divided between my "Bitcoin 1" account and "Bitcoin 1 (legacy)" accounts... Bitcoin 1 == SegWit "P2SH" addresses/transactions (ie. 3-type addresses)... Bitcoin 1 (legacy) == Legacy addresses/transactions (1-type addresses). When I was setting up Ledger Live and setting up the "accounts"... It automatically detected the "legacy" and "segwit" accounts and created them as separate accounts (separate balance, separate transaction lists etc) I will check this out later when I get a hand on my Ledger. Really?  As I said above, my old "legacy" transactions and newer "segwit" transactions display in separate accounts with separate transaction histories. Yes, In my ledger manager desktop, it shows in one account. There are transaction from 2018 that never shown in Mycelium. That is why I suspected they are legacy transactions. |

Just finished answering the survey. Honestly, I am not a security expert though I do know the basics here and there which is why I answered to the best of my knowledge. A small portion of people would have actually successfully traced a Bitcoin TX through different methods based on my research.
I'd even say small amount of people would even try to do that. I use Bitcoin from time to time. Sometimes I browse transactions to see how they are doing or to see amounts of money in the wallets, but I've never needed to trace a transaction, I just did the browsing out of curiosity. IMO the fact that there are no named attached to wallet addresses is enough for privacy. Done answering the survey. I agree that having no name besides the wallet is a plus. But there are ways you can simply follow a persons fund. This is where mixers come in. If they are creating a bitcoin transaction software how are they going to deal with mixers |

I think you can change a transaction's fee if its not yet picked up by a miner. Correct me if I'm wrong. If so, you can try yourself and adjust the fee if somehow it didn't work.

His mistake was selling when he should have held and waited till the next halvening and next bull run.
Don't you know the golden rule of investing in bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general? Buy high, sell low! I thought it was buy low and sell high!  A lot of really rich people are fucking dumb. Serves him right for acting like a total douche, I guess.
To be fair, for a bank owner? The $130m is likely to not be a significant amount of money for Masayoshi Son. I mean, the dude has a net worth of $24 BILLION for Jeebus sake. Compared to us, the $130m he lost might just be like an equivalent of a poker night for us.  Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masayoshi_SonI agree, this is just bits from his money. But I can't come of a reason why he would sell. I think he knows all the details he needs to know about bitcoin including the halving and the coming bull. But why would he sell? Especially now that bitcoin is slowly going up again and considerably somehow is getting traction. |

I agree that most people do enjoy social media. But if you come to think of it, I am sure that all his social media feeds are about gambling. This will not help him. That's why it will most likely just build more tension. In order to have abstinence, he I think needs to go away from it.
Internet in the current age is a blessing. It is the backbone of many billion dollar enterprises and companies and without it, they will collapse in days. Social media besides a medium for advertisement is the easiest way to get access to information regarding gambling and tips to win at gambling. I think that the only strategy to overcome losses is to start betting or gambling with the money you are willing to loose. This way, you would enjoy the game without having to get stressed. I agree with that also. But I think, if he needs rest better get off his social media accounts so he would not be lured to gambling for some time. It's called nowadays social media detox. |

I agree it's best to always sell, of course, when there is a pump. But keep in mind that coins that go high tends to drop also. But it's just for a short period of time. So I would suggest that you sell on top and try to buy back coins from where first bought it. There is a big chance the coin will go back there. For losing coins, better cut of the investment as soon as you see the trend going down.
I normally use the market values to take care of every decision I want to make. Selling your coins at a time when you have the chance to make the maximum profit. This is only possible if you decide to sell off your coins when the price is high. Normally at a price which can give you 2X. Twice profits in Bitcoin could be instrumental in making you a rich man. A long term adds more than 2X profits. I think that is what they call price action trading. You are basing your decision on price targets that you based on historical data. I heard thats a good strategy also. |

What's your android version?
I'm using android version 6.0. That's why I can't use Ledger Live on android. As far as I remember, CoPay also supports hardware wallets, but I have never used it so I can't tell you more details. What's your android version? Can confirm, it works on Copay as I've tried it in the past. But yea, don't even try looking it up on the Google Play Store OP, as it isn't there due to a vulnerability in the past(it's fixed now though). https://github.com/bitpay/copay/releasesI tried Copay already. It shows only new transactions, I think that is segwit only. I think Mycelium will show both Legacy AND SegWit... (Unfortunately I'm away from home today and don't have my Ledger with me to double check). Mine is currently only setup to show the SegWit account at the moment.
So, fairly sure it'll do both... It's just that they won't show in the same "account" within Mycelium, as they use different derivation paths. This is basically the same way that Ledger Live works... Legacy and SegWit are separated.
So, while you would see the balance of both and they'd be separate balances, but Mycelium does also show a "Total Balance" that sums up all accounts.
Really? I'm currently using Mycelium to monitor new transactions as they are segwit. I think segwit is the default. How do I re-import my Ledger showing the legacy balances? I use Ledger Manager live in desktop and all transactions there are in total not separated. Is it the same with Ledger Manager for android? |
