I guess we can't stop those spreading lies that bitcoin is dead or dying. They are all envied how the price of it risen from the current price right now. Maybe they want to buy bitcoin at a lower price but it ain't happy folks. Bitcoin is now stable, thanks to Japan adopting it. And I think community members here are already mature enough not to listen to FUD. Well, newbie are prone to this, but I think majority here doesn't give a f**k to those influencing others to panic and sell their bitcoin. Bitcoin will be here for good.

At least this a good way to provide farmers specially women loans to raise crops of their own and poultry and improve on farming methods. They don't need to go to loan sharks which charge huge interest. Bitcoin really has a way to improve someone or a nation in terms of its lives specially poor countries in Africa. I think they have their own BitMari Mobile Wallet, which cashout their bitcoin into your local currency. I think they also provided trainings regarding bitcoin, agricultural and financial lessons.

Its no brainer dude. Go to Thailand. It is like a paradise for those of you Caucasians. Hmm. Why not Philippines though? Are you afraid to be kidnapped?  But seriously, I would rather go to Thailand because it is much safer for tourist like you. You know that Pakistan is Muslim dominated country and they hated Americans. At least in Thailand you put yourself in a better position to enjoy your vacation because its friendly to tourist because its one of their attraction there. Sandy white beaches, beautiful pagoda's and palaces, ancient ruins and ornate temples displaying figures of Buddha. So its really a good place to visit for American tourist like you.

Its look like that whatever those so called experts predict on the price of bitcoin of in the future, there is only 1 certain fact, bitcoin price will really go to the moon in the next 3 years. Japan is going crazy about bitcoin, a lot of exchanges soon to open in that country as well as  a lot of merchants has been putting a sign "bitcoin accepted here". So I won't go against those experts in predicting the price of bitcoin. Of course we may experienced a few price correction, shakes-out and other factors that may influence the price of bitcoin. But its really hard to stop this kind of revolution that will continue to the future specially in 2020(next halving).

Here's my take. I believed that there are entities behind bitcoin, it could be private entities or other hedge fund managers that are buying bitcoin is behalf of wealthy investors. The reason we don't know it that because they tend to work behind and don't want to exposed their wealthy clients. I've been speculating on this since there is a uncovering of market price manipulation by the Chinese. So its more likely that there is also entity or entities getting bitcoins through hedge funds managers or other means that we still don't know, so that they can control the price of bitcoin. This is only my opinion, but I don't have the facts so far to back it up.

Are you talking about the decision on second review of SEC regarding the bitcoin ETF? It could probably affect the price really, but what you have said, insignificantly. Bitcoin has been very stable and I believed this year is has been more stable than ever before. Japan is pushing the price to new levels that's why even a rejection will be minor effect of the price. And I also think the investors are going back to bitcoin after they have already pump and dump the alt-coin market taking profits and investing it on bitcoin ecosystem.

As someone has said maybe they have additional traders registering that causes some lag on the servers. But I agree with you that they should upgrade or get new servers to cope up with the number of traders using their platform. Maybe they haven't anticipated this kind of traders or trading volumes in their exchanges. But this is a good thing for them because many users have been using their trading platform. But I don't think that Poloniex is causing the market to crashed, they just experience some technical issue. That all. I don't worry unless they got hacked and my funds all gone.

Its all about the money. McGregor will only fight Floyd because we will rake millions of millions. We all know that he will loss if even they fight. I think Connor can still go back to UFC and continue to be a big star even if he losses to Floyd. And I think we will defend his belt against anyone, its that he is now chasing a fight with Floyd because of the big payday. But I don't know if he still has the enthusiasm or the energy we have seen him before to fight in UFC after getting a lot of money because of the Mayweather fight. Yeah, he might retire.

This is what I'm been saying. Next halving is 3 years from now but the demand for bitcoin currently rising at $1700. So just imagine what will happen in the next halving, bitcoin will be so scarce that all price speculation $5000, $10000 or even $100,000 is possible. So it make sense to save bitcoin now because the price will go to the moon. I also speculate that their will be another country that will embrace bitcoin making the price really soar to new heights in the new 3 years or so.

South Korean's today elected a new President Moon Jae-in. And it looks like he is opened to negotiate with their North Korean brothers. It looks like this will shake up the political landscape in the region. I haven't read or seen any reaction from the official news agency from North Korean though regarding the result of the elections.

"Moon is expected to overhaul Seoul's policy on North Korea, looking to open talks with Pyongyang and challenge the deployment of a controversial US missile defense system. Such a position stands in stark contrast to the hard-line conservative policy of former President Park."

Exactly. Don't be fooled by the price. Its a healthy and steadily growth and not a bubble at all. Well the price is driven by exuberant market behavior specially by the Japanese, but the price surge is not sudden, as compare to 2013 bubble. And to the OP, since you sold out already, just wait for the correction to take place before getting a piece of bitcoin again. Although we can predict when the correction will happen. I can also speculate that if there is a correction, it still likely above $1000.

Just let the alt coins do their thing. It won't sustained the growth anyway. Investors who are pumping the alt coin market would go back to bitcoin after they have dump their alt coins. Bitcoin price has steadily rises and I think it has gain a lot of confidence already that it will not crash anytime soon. And I agree with the above poster saying that we should not worry about them. As I have said, let them have their day in the trading platform. Bitcoin will still be the no. 1 crypto-currency and no alt coin can overtake it.

Yeah right. They don't look like phone of today but look like its 5 years behind in design. LOL. Apple and Samsung has already captured the smart phone sector so I don't know what are they still trying their hand in this. Maybe they still want to have a piece of the pie that only Apple and Samsung are sharing. But I doubt people will like their design wise, and we all know how Microsoft OS operates. So even if they releases the most sophisticated the coolest, most innovative phone ever made, it will still not capture the market and no one will care.

Yeah, once you are into crypto currency specially bitcoin, you just fell in love with it that you want to read every information about it that you want to be an expert about every subject matter pertaining to bitcoin technology and blockchain. And its like a never ending cycle and its like everyday you learn something new about bitcoin. And I agree that it open a lot of doors and opportunity to the general public regardless you are a student or a professional trader or even big investor or whales. Some even made bitcoin as a income to support their family and to pay bills every month.

I think a conservative estimate would be like 5-10%. Bitcoin will be in the forefront in the next 3 years. Traders, investors or even the general public will keep growing their interest in bitcoin. Remember, Japan already started the revolution, so no wonder it has reached new heights now and will even soar more in the future. And also we also need to take in consideration the next halving in 2020. People will demand more of bitcoin but supply will be less. So more likely investors will try to get or put money in bitcoin ecosystem. So for me, a conservative estimate like 5%-10% but can probably rise in the next couple years of so.

I have to disagree with you @Hydrogen. I think GGG will beat Canelo. GGG is a true Middleweight and one of the hardest puncher now in boxing. Although his 2 last fight of wasn't impressive as compare to his other fights, still GGG is too powerful for Canelo. I think the fight between the 2 is already scheduled for Sept this year and Canelo will be just resting a few weeks then continue his training. I don't know if this is a good move for him but for me GGG is more tougher opponent than Julio Cezar Chavez. I'm so excited and I can't wait to see this fight!!!

Isn't it we have a Legends Room Signature Campaign a while back?

I think this is a good move from them to combine the best of both worlds, crypto enthusiast in the world of entertainment. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like the Legends Room is the first club to offer membership that accepts crypto currency as payment system. Well its this is still good news for me as VIP members would have to buy bitcoins in order to avail of the services of the strippers or sex workers. But I think they are targeting a small niche here, bitcoin enthusiast who loves to go strip club. I just hope they succeed in this industry.

I'm monitoring price of bitcoin in Kraken, because personally I think their price is more realistic as compare to other trading platform. Its currently,
$1694.00 and before I slept last night it is breaking the $1600 so in a span of 12 hours a additional increase of $100 is seen. It we going to based on this trend, its just a matter of days before touching $2000. But as for me, we are going to experience some resistance before really going up again and reaching the peak at $2000.

Its looks like you have a problem on your end. Maybe you should try to used proxies or try to use Tor to see if you can access blockchain.info. I can access my blockchain wallet, although I don't have bitcoin it in because I want to put my precious bitcoin in them for fear of security breach. I just created a wallet before when I was a newbie. If in any case you access your wallet, I suggest you transfer it to a wallet where you have control of the private keys like Electrum or Bitcoin Core. Just be sure to get it from trusted site and get the latest version. Goodluck.

Just imagined if you have couple of thousand of thousand that you bought before, so its gonna be x7 or x8 by now and the huge profit from your wallet now. Well, I agree @btcdevil, we didn't back then knew that the market price of bitcoin will be this high now, otherwise we are all millionaires by now. This just show, that bitcoin could be really worth to invest for long term likes stocks or real states because the price grows exponentially in years. So it is still not yet late to buy bitcoin as invested or just as store of value because it gonna be worth it.
