I'm the only one who thinks this is pure manipulation ? how can you guys tell that this is not another "we got hacked" scenario ?

This is majorly serious shit..... Eth might not recover if  there is a holes in their code that can lose $150 million dollars in an hour....

Still unclear  what happened

Is it the DAO or eth that got drained?

Please don't confuse decentralized with democratic. Bitcoin is decentralized. The fact the miners choose to go with 1 MB blocks despite what users want doesn't make it centralized.

This whole topic is a lie. A lair pretending to be very ethical and purist has started it and some other liars has joined him. It is part of a criminal, terrorist activity too I suppose, they are fooling people that there is an exceptional ecosystem named 'Islam' in which people do care a lot about doing the right thing.

It is a lie. No ideal religious ecosystem exists, it has not been existed and won't be in existence in the future. There exist only extremist liars  who do not believe in god at all, have not a clue about humanity and basic values like, honor, love, kindness, being humble, etc. which was the main cause the God originated the religions (including Islam). They just stick with some old-fashioned traditions like sexual discrimination, violence and .... which they have found in recent years very useful for their obvious thirst and hunger for power, women, money , ...

This fucking 'Halal' discourse is part of it. They use this discourse to fool naive under-educated usually young people for their next more violent propaganda. Next step is to convince people about the necessity of Sharia' Law to save the community which implies an unlimited power in hands of "the legitimate" interpreters of this law,  and finally their stupid young victim has to take the final step, Jihad which seems to be very funny and exciting but is a huge crime against humanity and the victim himself and unforgivable sane before the God.

I am a Muslim myself. I know this extremist devils extensively. They are liars believe me and don't pay any attention to them. They are criminals and eventually will be punished for their crimes, stick with your beliefs and your culture. Islam is just one another religion, all of the religions are planned by the God to make people happier and better and all of them repeat simple instructions about being honest and kind to each other and to have a good faith in humanity and what is trying to accomplish through its history.

everything you mentioned it is not worth for a Muslim. but you can grow in a way that is more appropriate, such as the signature campaign and trading.

most likely, this is not a fake pump at all, too many thing are going on that can increase easily the bitcoin price, brexit, halving, chinese yuan losing value etc...

how you can even think this si fake is beyond me....

It was somehow relevant or related with the recent pump because as far as we know, it was a fake pump manipulated by those chinese exchangers. That's probably why we are now seeing a slow drop of value. Probably.

Well that's a funny approach, but it might not be that far off. The biggest and most compliant bitcoin company has an orderbook so thin and disproportionate to the volume on their exchange^[1] that manipulation even for them doesn't sound that far off. And yes, I'm talking about Coinbase. Perhaps volume manipulation is an industry standard.

Also, what happened to your videos?

Even the most trusted exchanges are suspected for manipulating volumes.

Yes I don't think bitcoin will die easily, look at the price now today it is already $700+ and it is going to increase higher than we are expecting.
And countries will just tend to accept bitcoin as a secondary currency and paper money will always be there.
Unless the world will implement a mass cashless society.

A lot of misinformation and misinformed people here.  Also not sure why this ignorant thinly veiled racism is allowed.

What fucking Chinese? Would it be any better if today's rise would come from fucking Wall street traders? Some people may be trying to save their savings, and no one can blame them for doing that.

Maybe in a few days, we will have plenty of fucking Brits escaping their sinking pound because of brexit.

"Fucking Chinese" LOL there are how many Chinese again? 1.3 B?

What kind of title is that? It is racist as fck.

You all will be mad when someone puts a title like "f**king englishes" or "f***ing germans" but you pretend like it is ok to call chinese people f***tards.

My wishful thinking here - I agree that once price hits a certain threshold, it's advisable to get rid of the coins before panic selling occurs. When price crashes, time to buy in more. 

i just want to sell the top  
Bitcoin really needs a correction, it's going only up and up.... i dont want see this when starts to go down.

No. The Chinese investors are going into Bitcoin to escape Yuan, not to convert back after the price has reached X amount. Obviously, this isn't a stable rise and a correction is expected, but everyone is being hyperbolic about it.

This thread is pointless and possibly in the wrong section. Why do you hate the Chinese? Are you a Trump supporter?

chinese always use possible way to earn money as much as they can,i've seen people there even selling uncommon thing just for money
bitcoin is one of them!
