Damn. Very disappointing... France lost at home against Belgium
I'm sure if Pogba, Benzema and Ribery where playing it would be a different outcome. Fellaini big man(literally) on Belgium side. Another bad day for me . Eventhough germany as a host took the lead in early minutes, but final result took my money away. Always tricky to predict friendly matches, especially against lower rated teams as USA. Every one expects Germany to win easily, but the opposite did happen. I guess lack of motivation. |

Below $150.
Not very realistic, but certainly not impossible. A few bored whales can do a lot harm. My prediction is around $300 level for this year. |

First we had extreme bears being loud, and now we have extreme optimists. Where are the realists?

Some people that I know are using a $5 per month VPS to download stuff, and then via FTP transfer everything to their home pc.

Max Keiser is a reliable guy. I have watched his videos in RT (Keiser Report), and in general he is pro-Bitcoin. But regarding this venture (Bitcoin Capital), I don't know whether I should support it or not. He got some good amounts of money from the crowdfunding route. Let's wait and watch whether he conducts a pump and dump or not.
Max Keiser reliable? He is just trying to re-do the whole P&D thing, like he did with MaxCoin. There are millions to be made if he's doing it the right way, but with the consequence of leaving a trail of destruction behind. |

I don't care about killer apps. I use Bitcoin to pay for things, store value, and to avoid shitty financial companies and governments. I won't leave Bitcoin.

Wait why would a main coin go down before a alt coin.
It makes no sense to me, because if so the alt coin would go down with it.
Unless the alt was able to get itself a market and was able to have a direct exchange whether its buy/sell fiat. Some people believe including me that there will be a coin that can surpass bitcoin.. it may be not now, next month, next year, etc. there is a better probability that bitcoin will surpass itself instead of another random coin surpassing it, i see it as that and i think it make more sense bitcoin is not even completed, so the chance to have a better bitcoin with better function is basically guaranteed Bitcoin will never be completed. That's the beauty of open-source, everything important will be implemented when needed. Those who think altcoins will have any chance..... Keep dreaming. |

MasterCard has already stated not to like Bitcoin a while ago, and now again. No surprise as it is a direct threat for them. I always say; If you can't beat them, join them.

$4.8 million worth of Bitcoins traded in one week (in the United States alone), comes to around $690,000 per day, which is equivalent to some BTC3,000. Major exchanges such as BTC-e, Bitstamp, Bitinstant, and Kraken deal with many times this amount every day. So I have to say that although this might be an internal record for Localbitcoins, they have a long way to catch up to the major exchanges.
I guess we should take their daily/weekly volume with a pinch of salt. Just look at their 24H chart https://bitcoinity.org/markets/localbitcoins/usd |

The idea itself is quite interesting, however, I don't like the fact that you have to meet with some one in order to get the money you need in your hand. Same for deposits.

I'd rather have a larger blocksize than increase the fees. One of the great benefits of bitcoin is the low transaction fees which is something we want to keep.
At this point there is absolutely no need for increasing the fees, even not when block rewards are halved to 12.5BTC. And yes, I also think that one of Bitcoin's selling points is the low fee structure. Let's start talking about increasing fees once there is nothing left to mine, not now. |

It will be a bumpy ride, next confirmation will be testing of $290 by mid-june and staying above $225 until then.
One month later, the $225 is being aggressively tested. On the one hand, this is the predicted line and it's somewhat ok, we did dip below but not much by looking at the big picture. On the other hand, it's really aggressively tested. Fasten your seat-belts. How do you think the current value was effected by the fork bullshit that is going on? Would be we be closer to the 290 USD target you predicted without this news? Large traders know how to do proper research before buying or dumping. They don't get fooled to dump just because of the fork "drama" that is started by people who like to spread fud. Only noobs and weak hands panic after reading crap, but they barely have an impact on the price. Current price level is normal and not even surprising. |

You can send coins with zero fee without a problem, but they most likely need plenty of hours, or even more than a day to get a single confirmation.
If your coins have high enough priority, and you don't include any fee when seding them, then your coins will get confirmed much faster. But still, it's up to the pools to include your transaction.

Not sure why anyone would sell over $1K worth of anything on his own in general.
Always take some one with you just in case. But then again, you can't do much when trash is pointing a gun at your face.

I'm pretty scared to be honest and 4H-12H looks spooky as hell. A dump here would definitely not surprise me, I'm waiting on the sidelines
LOL!  Sell your coins now, so you don't have to worry anymore. |

Will it be possible to insert manually set fees with your numpad instead of dragging a brick with your mouse in order to find the perfect custom set fee?
Currently it's very hard to nearly impossible to set the fee for example at precise 0.9% or 1.10% or something in that range.

You can consider the technology already failed horribly as it has been surpassed by several altcoins on every aspect that is important for mainstream adoption.
If so, then why are you still here? Go play in the altcoin section if you so wish. Bitcoin technology hasn't even started with showing its power. Beside that, the blockchain as technology will enjoy adoption by banks and other companies. So tell me, what exactly is failed  I'm here to spread awareness in that bitcoin needs to adapt in order to survive and that people will not make horrible mistakes with their hard earned money. Altcoins are important as experiments of new ideas, but when an idea is sound and proves to be adding significantly to the technology it should be adapted by bitcoin asap in order to not lose the first mover advantage. Sure it has the network effect behind it now, what do you think new coins will get that bring features that speak even more to the average Joe and industry, that's right, an even stronger network effect. If we want bitcoin, as a currency and its own blockchain, to be successful, things need to change on several levels i think. Many of us have too much invested (not just talking holing btc here...) to let it fade away so easily without giving a kick, hoping somebody else will do or say something.. I understand all that, but why is it needed to add gimmick features which most of the altcoins have and we don't really need? What Bitcoin needs right now for better adoption is faster confirmation times, and larger blocks. The latter has had plenty enough coverage in this forum and will definitely be implemented. |

they should be able to get around the volatility by using BitPay or whatever service instantly converts BTC/CAD at point of sale. They can even do it manually using Preev or any of the other live BTC price monitors... the problem with BTC is; why bother? cash is still the easiest fastest way to purchase goods, why go through all the steps of buying BTC, converting price, spending btc?
this is basically what holds people back from getting on board with btc. Its simply too much bother.
shopping online with coins one has held since before 2013, or moving funds across international boarders is another story, but retail BTC usage has a loooooooooooong way to go.
The need for something like Bitcoin (regarding spending it to buy stuff) in well developed countries is low. Reason for that is as you describe, there are faster ways of paying etc. The main advantage for me is buying stuff from other countries without using paypal or other nonsense services. That's when Bitcoin for me start to shine. |
