Probably the FBI does not hold the biggest number of bitcoins, but for sure tens of thousands of Bitcoins which they have seized from criminals. But some of them has been auctioned if I remember well.

Of course it won't end well, juts like the dollar, the euro, all human made currencies of the past 10,000 years. Life itself, if I remember well, doesn't end well, for none of us. What matters is just what happend BEFORE one day it eventually won't end well.

Powerful people with an agenda would typically twist facts so as to prove their point, no matter how unjust their reasoning. These people usually own the media, so they can spread their mystified arguments everywhere.

Your poor grandmother now has doubled her money because you were so stupid to tell her to put all her lifesavings in Bitcoin. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I've been wondering on how to do translation and what are the requirements to be accepted in this job? Also Can you advice on what bounty campaign I can apply for the beginners please send some help.
If you are a GOOD translator no problems to get jobs. Of course, usually they would like to see some previous work that you have done. So you'd better prepare a portfolio. |

Watching it now. The first 10 minutes has been okay, but I suspect the usual biases will be thrown in soon. It seems to be shifting the subject to shady crapcoins like Onecoin now, so I'm hoping they aren't planning on tarring Bitcoin with the same brush.
//EDIT: Okay, they did spend a little too long on the darknet and "bubble" stuff, but then just about redeemed it right at the end by saying that massive price swings aside, the real purpose is to get away from the banks and reinvent money. It's just a shame that most people will focus on the negative stuff. But time will likely change that.
I will try to look for this show. I am interested to find out if there have been any manipulative messages in their narrative. I'm an expert in recognizing even subtle manipulations. |

These statements are totally delusional, there is no way to predict things like these, Cryptos and finance in general are chaotic spaces where exact predictions are meaningless. What entitles those two twins to have better ideas that other people?

This is totally understandable and quite wise actually. People in the USA were buying Bitcoins on credit, without actually having money. This is not really possible on large scale in Europe, but quite normal in the USA. Now, to buy Bitcoins without having the money necessary to buy them IS-NOT-GOOD. Especially if that becomes a large scale behavior.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-42944290A secret code hidden in a painting that gave access to an online wallet containing Bitcoin worth $50,000 (£35,500) has been cracked after nearly three years.
The artwork, by Rob Myers and @coin_artist, who uses a pseudonym, was first published online in early 2015.
A code contained within it revealed a private key that granted its discoverer access to the wallet full of bitcoins.
And the bitcoins were finally removed from the wallet last week.
Technology website Motherboard reported that a 30-year-old programmer had claimed the funds after searching online for puzzles to do with crypto-currencies.
Motherboard added that the programmer said they lived in a country where it was "not safe" to own Bitcoin and therefore wanted to keep their name secret. Here is the painting:  I believe in God's favor that within 3 months bitcoin will reach $50000.Because l beleive in bitcoin before bitcoin will be face out it will give us a good remembrance. That from the beginning bitcoin has a good history so l know it will end this to a good story also. Let's just wait and see for the surprise of bitcoin because God will give me a breakthrough through this bitcoin. That l will become rich before this year ends. I hope that the same result will be achieved by the laws of mathematics and economics, instead of the will of God. My religious belief is that the laws of mathematics, when encountering the laws of economics, can be more effective in determining the rise of the price of Bitcoin than any divinity, which supposedly don't care too much about human (or subhuman) money, so busy as they are with cosmic poetry. |

Why do you panic? Why?
IF YOU DO NOT SELL, YOU DO NOT LOSE ANYTHING! YOU LOSE THE MOMENT YOU SELL, after you purchased high and buy low. It does not matter what is the price ATM, the only thing which matters is what is the price when you decide to sell. So, to shield yourself from losing money, DONT sell under the price you bought it.
If you trust in crypto and believe it ll bounce back, WHAT THE FUCK IS THE PROBLEM AND WHY PANIC?
If you do not trust in crypto and you have doubts whether it ll bounce back, well, in that case you are in the wrong industry and you shouldn't have invested in crypto in the first place.
So knowing this, what is the problem again?
EDIT: This post was created on February 6, 2018 when BTC price reached $5920. After a few days, it recovered to $8k. Will keep this ledger so people know Bitcoin ALWAYS recovers!
Thank you for this message and for this support, man! Some of us really need it very much. I am an optmist and believe that the market will go up. Once more, I ve seen this happen almost 60 times. FUCKING 60 times. Every time new users scream, cry and lose money. You need to have trust into crypto and patience. Once you survive your first or second dump without selling and without a loss, you simply do not care anymore. Panic is you enemy, whenever there re red candles, simply move away from crypto for a few days, dont check the price, dont read the news. Once you get back, you ll again be in the green and you can move on. Wow man, 60 times is really a lot. I saw it happen just a few times from 2014 when I have discovered cryptos but I am already starting to realize the same. |

I've bought so early that I'm almost always on profit. Currently I am losing only on profit...
Yes, that is the other way to see it which has not been mentioned yet. This argument applies also for my incidentally, and to be sure it won't stop to apply I have sold in the ATH area just a tiny bit of my crypto-assets so as to fully recover my initial fiat investment. |

After the past few days of BTC dumping fest and the storming news about whatever institutions's crack down plans against Bitcoin, I'd be tempted to say that in fact Bitcoin is too big to NOT fail - since big powers are currently busy trying to destroy it. Let's watch the show and hope for the best...
There isn't such thing as too big to fail, when something big collapse dust cloud is bigger and there aren't many survivors. Its what we can do, hope for the best and like until now to spread knowledge about bitcoins ans crypto community. I agree with you that some bjh forces wish to destroy bitcoin or take its place, what ever it is its affecting us all. I'm here everyday watching what people have to say, checking prices, and what news wrote about this currentl drop. I think this is not game over, this is not the first time that bitcoin is going down, it sounds a lot in dollars, but in percents nothing new is happening. Speaking about "too big to fail" reminds me of a joke about men who are too big to confront in a physical fight. The bigger they are, the much more noise will they make when they will fall on the ground. |

What makes you think we've hit the bottom? Things could always get worse, and that's a very real possibility in this market. I do hope the low prices spark traders into action by buying again, but that seems unlikely given the fact that they didn't when Bitcoin seemed to have bottomed down at the $8k level. I hope the newbies are ready to brave the bear market.
You are right that bitcoin may not have hit the lowest ebb but about price getting worse is what I don't think will happen. It can't get worse than it is already with price having crashed from $19,000+ to $6000 in less than two months is a real nightmare. "It can't get worse" is a sentence that should never be used in cryptos, especially as Bitcoin itself has already manage in a few cases during its life to lose almost 90% of its price - of course just temporarily. Just as there are tons people who are rushing to buy at ATH, there tons of people (sometimes the same tons of the same people) who are rushing to sell at the bottom. |

I guess newbies have been baptized with fire with this BTC megadump. Those who will survive this ordeal being able not to sell at a loss from now on they will know what dealing with Bitcoin sooner or later implies: the pain and the anxiety to see your money disappear overnight and for a while. Until today, the disappeared money has then later always come back, with interests.
LOL. That’s true. Each newbie has already passed through a series of the most difficult tests, and only the strongest manage to survive. I mean sure, those, who were serious about trading and dealing with crypto were not stopped by the events on the market. Exactly. And I know what I'm talking about since I went through this whole drama myself in 2014. In fact, I was one of the ones who did not manage to survive, but... guess what: I have seven lives like cats. |

Bit of a thninking here:
Many people ask for bigger exchange. And do I agree, but I as well agree on right timing, thus no rush from my perspective. It's in roadmap and I believe it won't be only one (in future, not only Q1).
However I think that as well why BTX is holding it's value is that actually right now is not listed on any bigger exchange otherwise to some extend we would see bigger sell out of "investors".
I would rather like to see primarily BTX as "real world" usable coin and after that, secondarily as an investment.
Your inputs/ideas/options are welcomed, this is not a flame.
I agree on this. Current holders of BTX seem to differ very much from current holders of "big coins". The latter probably have often zero interest for the coins they buy except for the ROI they get. I don't want to say that BTX investors are not here for a ROI, but probably they are investing less in absolute terms and they can afford to hold for the long term. BINGO!!!  Bitcore shouldn’t be your only investments in crypto. But it SHOULD be one of your MAJOR long term prospects. Exactly. Once you know all the technical scaling problems which are affecting Bitcoin, all the problems of hypertrophic blockchains which affect both Bitcoin and all its clones/forks, etc, etc, you end up understanding that at some point more and more people will understand that they've got a much improved version of Bitcoin in Bitcore.  |

Women are much smarter than men, so: why to make the effort to learn how to make profit with bitcoin, when they can smile to a man :-)
OK, just kidding. Women usually don't like trading because is too much like a videogame, and usually you stay alone in front of the monitor.
But I know some women that are fantastic forex trader, because they mix competence with female intuition, and have very good results.
That might be the reason why there isn't that many women in Bitcoin. Women like to spend money more than making it. A remark: Women like to make men make money for them. And the funny fact is, it works! It's an old story which started millions of years ago, and the proof is that men have on average more muscles than women or anyway their muscles produce more force, which proves that women don't really need a lot of muscles if they cans use the ones of the men for the crucial things like finding food, making money or moving a furniture. Note: Muscles were very useful in the past to provide food, I have to mention that for those who spend too much time in front of their computers and would never suspect something like that. haha, so true! unfortunately I don't think many of the residents of this forum are fit and muscled guys. Unfortunately too many people now think of their body only as a means of transportation for their head and other pleasure-delivering parts ))) Let's see, do you think there are are less or more fit hot guys in the crypto community than women? Who is a bigger minority? lol =) You may have quite a point here, but I can assure you that you would be surprised of a few notable exceptions, and even exceptions filled like a matrioska with more exceptions. By the way, you forgot to mention which in your imagination is the average age of this unfit men who forgot to grow muscles |

They'll be cheaper tomorrow though.
so you are selling ! To sell is a bit dangerous for the case it suddenly takes off, but one could just hodl and wait for the bottom to buy - I guess we should have at least a double bottom to be able to call a bottom. |

That's a nice story. Of course by watching at the picture I cannot see anything which I would be able to read as binary code - it would be nice if there would also be a step by step precise information of which bits of the picture mean exactly what.

IF the VIP people who had to fill their bags with cheap coins have got enough of them, the mainstream media could start to hype again positively Bitcoin. The Senate hearings could be the first step. However, my bet is that those sharks want even cheaper coins.

With the recent collapse of the price the word "greedy" is suddenly the less appropriate for a large number of reasons. You could now better use the word "crazy", "wise", "brave", "heroic", "faithful", "irresponsible" - according to your best interpretation of the act of hodling when the coin gets dumped.
