NO, bitcoin is slowly dropping back to $0, so is litecoin

And you created a brand new account just to say that?

Why don't you just use your normal account to say stuff like that?

@OP

It's your money but I would advice you to invest in Bitcoin.

With the current price you can firmly hold your Bitcoins without worrying for a few years. It's not that hard. You only need patience.

I will always choose for Bitcoin.

#1 : For safety purposes. I definitely don't want a huge stash of gold in my house.
#2 : What if you're in urgent need of food or any other daily needs and something cost just 1 gram of gold, and the only thing you have is a gold brick of 1000 gram??
#3 : Current world economy is becoming more and more digital with the day. Gold is a physical good, how do you get something like this in digital form without worrying about corrupt companies and governments?

With Bitcoin you can avoid all things written above. And I'm sure there are more reasons why Bitcoin will be a better choice for people.

No English teams in quarter finals again. They have only Everton in Europa League.
this just proves that the English league isn't as tough as everyone thinks it is

Everton got trashed yesterday in Ukraine with 5-2.

I had no high hopes for Arsenal and Manchester City, but I could see Chelsea reach semi final.
11064  Economy / Economics / Re: What do you guess about he future of bitcoin? on: March 20, 2015, 02:51:43 PM
It will remain unstable for quite some years. Market cap is way too low for any kind of stability.

With very thin orderbooks a single whale can cause the price to drop significantly.

I hope at some point in the future there will be only 1 orderbook left. That will bring more stability.

I don't know about "some years"... I have the feeling that if there isn't an explosion of market cap in the near future (2/3 years), the future of bitcoin is compromised and it simply isn't "taking off".
Let's see where we're going.

Quite some years can be 5-10 years, or even more. An explosion of market cap as you say is never good and won't bring stability.

I prefer to see Bitcoin gaining 25-50% per year in normal circumstances, and perhaps even higher with very good news.

We all know how the explosion to over $1000 has ended. I hope future won't repeat istelf here.

http://www.coindesk.com/bitvc-ceases-litecoin-futures-offering-to-focus-on-bitcoin/

Quote
Futures trading platform BitVC has announced it will no longer offer litecoin futures to its users, as it shifts its focus to bitcoin.

The platform, a subsidiary of Chinese exchange Huobi, said that the decision was taken "due to a lack of user demand", and the "growing consensus that the world will only have one cryptocurrency value".



Thats ok never heard of them, litecoin is going to the moon next bubble and nobody can stop it lol

Other than using Litecoin for trading purposes, does it serve any other serious purpose? Nope.

It's just a matter of time before the last few king size bag holders/early adopters dump their stash on the market out of boredom.

Bitcoin Core once again is very slow and takes over 10 minutes just to open. I think my 1tb hdd is the bottleneck here.

While it is checking blocks I can't use the pc for browsing and such as it completely takes over my hdd.

It's a Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM with 64MB cache. I think this drive is decent enough to be capable of running the wallet.

I don't see why not. I'm doing it already with success and will continue doing so  Cheesy

I already stopped leaving coins on exchanges just to avoid any kind of risk.

Considering registrations are closed and considering BTC is stuck at this low price, has a raise of payment been considered?
People are asking this every time bitcoin price goes down. Funny they are not asking about downgrading their payment when bitcoin price goes higher.
And it is not like BTC is 'stuck' it will rise again, just earn coins now, wait for pump and you will be good. The best part of bitmixer's campaign is its stability.

People are greedy. It has always been like this.

There is no reason for Bitmixer to increase payments. 0.035BTC is 0.035BTC no matter what the exchange rate is showing.
11070  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: List of Major Bitcoin Heists, Thefts, Hacks, Scams, and Losses on: March 19, 2015, 09:39:52 PM
Anybody know of evidence these funds have been dumped? I figure the $40 price drop the last day or so is either because the Evolution stash was dumped, or people rushed to sell in expectation it would be dumped, and caused a panic-dump instead.

It seems unlikely that the thieves will try to sell the stolen coins directly on an exchange.  (Wasn't there a case of an exchange freezing and returning cryptocoins that had been stolen and deposited there by the thief?)

The thieves could swap those coins off-exchange with some large criminal mafia; say 5 stolen coins for 1 "clean" coin.  The mafia could keep the coins until they "cooled off", or use them for other criminal trades.  Meanwhile the thieves could sell the clean coins on the exchanges, and withdraw the cash to legit bank accounts --- and no one would be able to connect that money to the theft.

Thieves probably use mixers, there are much smaller expenses to get hard to trace coins in return. For such a large amount like 130K BTC they will probably have to split in smaller batches before they send it to mixers, no mixer has big enough volume for the coins to be untraceable.

Isn't it possible for a mixer to identify stolen coins once deposited and "seize" the coins temporarily to return them to the rightful owner?

I don't think any mixer would want to give a thief clean coins and get dirty coins in return.

It will ruin their name and make them equally as bad if they know they mixed stolen coins just to scoop up a good fee.

By placing a bid you agree with :

# Winner of the auction pays first.
# Transaction must be completed in less than 24 hours.
# Private bidding is not accepted.

Sorry for delay, I got better offer via PM.
You should say :/ It's not fair.
But it's OK.
Sorry about that.

Why are you wasting people their time with this?

You congratulated liteon like he was the winner and still pulled back because you didn't get as much as you hoped. Very professional. Not.
11074  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you ask about? on: March 19, 2015, 02:20:48 PM
I would not ask them much, but would do my own research to see if I in any way can increase my sales when accepting Bitcoin.

Comparing Bitcoin costs vs costs from traditional payment options, etc.

No chargebacks is a huge plus and also the low fee structure would convince me to use it.

All in aka yolo method is for gamblers. Never invest your money in one go.

25% is a very decent number, and will allow you to buy even more if price goes down while you didn't expect that.

After all the years and plenty of millions that ManCity has spent, it still isn't better than previous years. It's exactly on the same level.

They are good at throwing away money on average players. Mangala, Bony, Fernandinho, Fernando, etc.

I think Barcelona on 75% will have no problems today with City.
they need a chelsea blueprint, only chelsea has been able to turn wealth into success



Poor ManCity yesterday, it was like Barcelona was playing against amateurs.

Joe Hart kept his goal quite clean beside the beauty goal from Rakitic.
11077  Economy / Speculation / Re: I already sold all my coins... waiting to get back at $200 on: March 19, 2015, 02:03:31 PM
Since the mini price recovery of summer 2014, the BTC/USD price has declined in a series of steps, occurring in mid Aug 2014 (600 to 500), mid Sep 2014 (500 to 400), early Oct 2014 (400 to 300, then back to around 350), then a long period of relative stability until the big drop to around 200 in early Jan 2015.

Each step was preceded by a few days of gradual price declines. This decline took the price to just below the recent lowest price. So, for example:
- in 10-12 Aug 2014 the price drifted down to around 550, which was the lowest price for a few months. The next day the price fell sharply to below 500.
- in 13-16 Sep 2014 the price drifted down to 450, again just a new recent low. The next day the price fell sharply to below 400.
- in early Jan 2015, the Bitstamp closedown caused the price to fall to a new low of below 300, which then triggered the sharp fall to around 200.

So my hypothesis is that if the price drifts down to 200, then we will see the next big step down, very quickly (within a day to two of the price drifting down to 200) falling to 100.

Don't buy at 200. It will be the next big fall.
Either:
- wait until 100; or
- buy now, as you believe that BTC will never fall to 200 again.



If you think it will go to $100 level then place your buy orders there.

I only think you'll waste a lot time waiting for your buy order to get filled Cheesy
11078  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Technical Analysis for 19/3/2015 – Rebound Likely on: March 19, 2015, 02:01:15 PM
Nope.

I have seen plenty of news sites trying to predict the price and trying to read every line in the chart, etc. And all are wrong most of the time  Cheesy

Cryptocoinsnews.com for example fits exactly in this picture. If the price goes up, an article pops up saying 'Bitcoin will advance to new levels' bla bla bla.

If the price goes down another article pops up saying 'Bitcoin heading down trying to find new bottom' bla bla bla.

At some point they will be lucky and their prediction will come true. That's not because they are good analists, but pure because of the luck factor.
11079  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price - Going where ? on: March 18, 2015, 09:45:02 PM
Making so much money!!  Grin Grin Grin Thanks everybody for selling Cheesy Cheesy.

Really? Tell us. Are you making more than $10 today? Or are you a hidden whale  Cheesy

It is interesting to see where the absolute bottom will be this time after another shitload of bad news.

12 million in Bitcoin can harm the markets considerably. Especially when you don't know when they will get dumped.
11080  Economy / Economics / Re: ECB protesters clash with police in Frankfurt, Germany on: March 18, 2015, 09:33:51 PM
Is anyone else shocked at this?

Nope.

If you look closely at who is trying to clash with the police in Frankfurt then you see it's the absolute bottom of the economy. Drug addicts, homeless people, squatters, etc.

You barely see people from the middleclass and up fighting there. Says enough. Germany should wipe the streets clean immidiately before they ocupy more places.

You dont know what you're talking about, you're a typical dickhead who puts ppl in places of ''trash''. Pretty sure you dont even watched tv whats going on there.

I have seen plenty of these "protestors" in real life here, and they are exactly the kind of people I described.

I don't have respect for these people, they say banks are bad, government is corrupt, etc.

But what are they doing themself? They burn cars, they break windows of stores and steal everything they can grab.
