did somebody call my name


true but trading has a lot of different huge risks with it which most people aren't willing to take. for example the most obvious risk is the risk of price fluctuation itself if it goes against your speculation.
but the less obvious risk which you will find out when you start trading is the risk of using exchanges that are shady and can run away at any moment.

that part is usually true about any other altcoin! the dev team of any altcoin releases something new and hype it up in the news then there is a decent pump coming because of it. and every pump will have its dump too hence the big volatility of the whole thing.

nobody believes that, and there is no idiot speculator that is incapable of reading the charts enough to think something like that is even possible!

what happens is that a lot of idiots have heard the 3 letter word called F.U.D. and think to themselves that if they spread some bullshit around they are spreading FUD and they can make the price go down enough for them to buy $10 worth of bitcoin
some people like to live in the dream, who am i to wake them up.

this is yet another example of bitcoin's real usage in the real world as a currency. it will help bitcoin's image and further adoption of it as a currency in the future.
however this has nothing to do with "cryptocurrency market" at all. the altcoins still remain useless when it comes to real world and until that changes the altcoin market will stay the same.

that's where you are wrong.
when some shitcoin is created or some ICO scams people, the world in general is not going to say bitcoin is bad! bitcoin had nothing to do with it. if anything people are going to stay away from ICOs and shitcoins and in general it will ruin the reputation of altcoins. but nobody cares about that because altcoin reputation is already in ruins.

there currently is a lot of hype around bitcoin cash, the media is literary filled with lots of advertisement of this altcoin and this is all because they have been busy pumping it and pumping it as hard as they can. i think we may expect to see 0.2BTC price for it pretty soon. i am waiting for the peak of the pump to unload some i bought before it began

it is best not to use MEW at all, it is a web wallet and hacks like these will always happen or at least be a big risk. not to mention that when you are using these websites you are always online and being online means being at another risk of getting hacked and losing your money.

it is always best to use desktop wallets instead of web ones.

the controversy is always surrounding bitcoin cash because it is always going to be an attack against bitcoin specially when they are advertising against bitcoin and misleading newbies.
during pumps this will increase because their advertisement and attacks also increase.


you don't need to compute anything, it is here:
https://bitcoincash.blockexplorer.com/address/bitcoincash:qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqfnhks603 and it currently contains 59.3 BCH or $81000
and the only thing this proves is that bitmain is ultra rich that they can afford burning this much and not give a shit.
besides who says after a while they won't fork BCH and make all these specific funds spendable? they control 100% of it anyways.

if you think by posting this comment here you can make people do anything differently then you didn't understand how the market works just like those who are spreading the FUD these days don't!

$1 is nothing, it is just a small pump for Ripple to get there. not to mention that price of shitcoins such as Ripple is only rising thanks to bitcoin rise not so much as their own adoption!
in other words when bitcoin goes up 20% ripple drops 10% so its USD value increases about 10% and that is how they are showing rise despite getting dumped.
and when they show the fake rise the newbies will rush to FOMO buy and they see a small pump.

this doesn't sound to be true in my opinion!
the amount of money that is coming in bitcoin is not even big enough to be 53% of bank card users let alone the whole cryptocurrency market. at best it is somewhere around 1% and that is only if i am generous in my calculations.

if half the users had adopted cryptos then bitcoin price would have been above $1 million already!

my guess is that this study was flawed. possibly their selected group was extremely biased or maybe the questions were misleading.

bitcoin is gaining more market dominance as more people invest in it and as its price goes up and most important of all as more merchants start accepting bitcoin as payment in that regard bitcoin is dominating 99.99% of the market and 0.01% belongs to the 1500 altcoins.

you can wish for it all you want but it won't come true

you should always expect things like this from a company that is located in US. they are always following the three later agencies in their country and they always work with them without any hesitation. a website like Wikileaks is opposing a lot of things that these three letter agencies are doing so it is obvious that coinbase will close their accounts.

true. the first link that OP shared which is talking about gaming industry accepting bitcoin is a very old link (from 5 months ago) and on top of that it is from steemit which is not known to be a good source because people spam there to get paid!

if and only if people use these markets and actually trade altcoins with fiat instead of bitcoin then we may start seeing less volatility in bitcoin specially during mass altcoin dumps where people sell their altcoins for bitcoin then sell bitcoin for fiat and crash everything!

but i am doubtful because people trade altcoins mostly because they want some place where they can invest their bitcoins not their fiat. and the alt/fiat markets have not had as much demand.


any effect that it may or may not have will be only affecting part of the market not all of it so they will continue "to live and die together" like before.

the "drastic decreases" that you have been seeing are normal stage of a pump and dump market. they are simply getting dumped and their bubbles are starting to burst.
usually it has so little to do with the news because altcoins are moving somewhat in another universe!
sometimes some news like ICO bans can affect altcoins like ether which live on ICOs existence but these examples are rare.

the team of it controls the rest of the unreleased supply and also they control the current supply even if you own it! they can literary put their hands in your pocket and take your money. that is one of the reasons XRP is centralized.

but it is a good investment these days that it is getting a pump. it doesn't seem to be one of those big pumps but it is a pump anyways which you can make profit from only if you catch it early on.

learning technical analysis is good and it will be useful down the line and in case he wanted to trade other things such as stocks too. but it won't work in cryptocurrencies most of all in altcoins because of the manipulations.
so it is best not to put so much effort into it!

the bear market may be over now but this "optimism" that you are talking about is not back to the market yet. it will come back when the big rises begin and it is starting to be late to buy back. that is when the masses start FOMO buying.

that is just your opinion and you are wrong. just because a lot of useless tokens are being advertised and a bunch of newbies fall for the advertisement doesn't mean on the other side of the world bitcoin will lose value!

check the history if you don't believe me. shitcoins like this are being  created all the time and nobody cares about them and in the end everyone comes back to bitcoin because it has usage.
