Predictions will of course be right or wrong, some people will be lucky and predict the right moments and some people will predict the wrong moments but that doesn't mean that the wrong ones will be wrong for the next prediction and it doesn't mean the right ones will be right for the next moment.

We are just predicting and each time we have a 50% shot at knowing the truth, we just make stuff up according to what we believe and sometimes its true sometimes its wrong. That is why its a "prediction", the word literally means just guessing something and not "knowing". I don't "predict" when I say if we continue this way one day we will be in year 2020, that is not prediction because that is now time works and we all know it, this is not like this is this purely speculation for the price.

Right now, there is a psychological limit in peoples minds and that is 6 thousand dollars, I know that limit increases the higher we go but right now it is literally more important ever since the higher we go the thinner that line gets.

It was 4200 to 5 thousand at first now we are above 5200 and looking into 6 thousand I know that is same but if we go up it will be 6500 and we will look for 7700 so its going to be higher and higher. That is why the more barriers we break the easier it will get to a higher price, it won't be 4-5-6-7-8 it will be 5 to 6.5 to 7.7 to 9 and so forth and that is what we need right now, breaking down couple of those resistance points. The more we try the easier it will get, when we go up and fail people get discouraged but they should know that if we go up and fail that means we make the future success a bit easier.

Well, it didn't, there is couple hours left (depending on where you live this changes) and we have not passed 6 thousand dollars, its clear we can say it won't. Is this bad though? Can we say its not something we won't in the future neither ? I feel like it will be easier to do in the future so I am not really worried about not passing 6 thousand right away.

We have already broken a resistance level in April so we do not have to break couple more in the same month, maybe we should take it slower this time, last time around when we went to 20 thousand dollars we did it very quickly but going back down became very quick as well, maybe if we take our time and fill out the support lines strongly than going higher would mean staying higher as well instead of flying high than crashing down.

A lot of us are now familiar with masternode and how it is possible to earn a coin even without having to buy huge machines that would cost a lot of money, though one thing I am very scared about in masternode is that once the price of the coin reduces the coin becomes next to nothing because the reward is not giving in USD form but in the coin itself, imagine buying master node for $1000 and in 2 weeks the value have then become $50, the node has become leader.

How it will be safe and reliable ? I read in another discussion that all the ICO scammers are now coming in the name of masternode coins. So, do not fall into same types of trap just due to different names.

Mining or masternodes are profitable only when that coin will be having any real world application or product based. Otherwise, both devs and miners will keep dumping and then you may get enforced to mine shitcoins alone after some period of time. Masternode is a new name for scamming innocent investors. Take time to read a project before deciding to mine/MN them.

I have always said the same thing, if we can manage to have a worldwide app that would literally help us get more adoption easily but right now even the mobile apps for banks that allows you to pay with your mobile phone is getting a tiny traction so expecting the shops to accept bitcoin mobile payments is a bit off. First we need the mobile payments as a whole (not just crypto but all fiat too) to get more famous and as soon as that gets more famous we need to squeeze in our mobile payment apps as well which will make it easier for us.

First one out of the door always gets bloody even though they get the biggest market share, either one company will spend insane amount of money to become the first one and make it big or we are going to wait until banks do it for us first.

I think they are fine considering they are providing a service that requires absolutely minimum amount of work and people could literally profit from running such a business without doing too much since after the beta is done and you start the website after day one all you worry about is tracking and that is all automatic so its basically money printing machine for them.

Maybe not as much as exchanges and all that and maybe some ill mannered people will find a way to steal all the money on accounts instead of being happy with the profits they are making but that is a huge risk for the scammer as well. Would you accept that you will be making hundreds even thousands of dollars every week or making millions in a day and risk going to jail? Which one sounds more logical to you? That is why I feel like they must be doing it legibly.

This is not about if it should be monitored or not this is about anything more than 1000 and that number is just way too little.

If are afraid of the exit scams and/or money laundering that is less than 1000 euro/dollar per bank account than you are missing out the fact that most of those things happen in millions of dollars and even hundreds of millions of dollars and banks help them get that laundered as well for share of the prize (Deutsche bank for example) whereas small people who are not doing anything bad and get like 3-5 thousand in their bank account suddenly searched for money laundering, nobody really launders 5 thousand dollars, that is just way too small, people launder millions of dollars. That is why I think this would hurt regular people instead of stopping money launderers.

If the etf decisions get passed then I am pretty sure we are going to see a bitcoin that is way above 20 thousand dollars finally. That is literally the way to get huge corporations like big banks JP Morgan or whatever into bitcoin much better, I am sure they are already doing some over the counter deals and keeping some for themselves and all that but making it legit and official for ETF would help us get to 20 thousand dollars and more super quickly.

Moreover, it is still not known if it will be accepted or not, we have been waiting for it for over a year now and they keep postponing to another day constantly, I have some small hope in me but every time it gets pushed back I lose a bit of that hope and it starts to look like if it gets postponed once again than I will lose all my hope about it.

Because, bitcoins price is basically reflection of how much people can actually understand what you are saying. If people are going towards the bitcoin (or any crypto for that sense) instead of fiat that means we are finally seeing people fleeing from the never ending debt of fiat currency and than moving towards more legit and more worthy currency which is bitcoin. The bitcoin price is a way for us to see if new people are coming everyday running from that fiat world.

I cash out my fiat whenever I need to pay something but otherwise keep all my money in bitcoin at all times so it is kind of funny to think world debt has nothing to do with that, it has everything to do with it and when we focus on bitcoin price and see it going up we don't just feel happy that we are "richer" but we are happy that people finally see bitcoin as savior and not the devil.

The "drop" is just that tether story and that is it, even with that much problem bitcoin didn't fall too much and at around 5300 today so calling bitcoin price a fall is just pure fear mongering like the other guy said.

Obviously, there will be bad stories about bitcoin and of course there will be people who go on television and say bad stuff about bitcoin and there will be wall street journal people who talk about how gold is the way to go whereas bitcoin is just a tech peoples toy or something (really happened) because of two things, there are really old (but good) traders that really doesn't understand what bitcoin is and they have made profits without it so far so they don't really care about it and two people who know what bitcoin is and how it could hurt their profits so they try to make it look bad.

if we can move that support line once again above 5800+ and we can resurrect those miners who have stopped their operation after bitcoin went down under and reach back on that same difficult it would make so much support for us that it would insanely resolve all "will it go back down!!" issues.

Think about it, both support there to keep price not going down and miners there to selling at least above those prices would create some sort of cushion for bitcoin and it means the only way is up if it can't go down than it can either stay same or go up and that means it can stay same for a while but eventually has to go up. Of course, some whale could come up and sell about 10k bitcoin all in one trade and destroy bitcoin price like Craig did but what are the odds of that happening twice .

There is "scam" and there is scam, I think betking.io has been called and considered a scam because of the token sale not the casino itself. I have been reading up on that and I have come to agree with both parties here after a while, I am in no way an expert on scams so I do not feel like I have the right to say if a website is scam or not since I am no authority in the subject but the clear signs show that the gambling parts of the casino seem to be working normally and without any issue whereas the token sale and the ICO they did is a by far less than what they promised and totally scammed people out of their money.

So, we can call the ICO a clear scam whereas casino may not be part of the issue in which case how do you gamble in a place where the ICO was scam, how do you know casino won't scam you neither so I get the lack of trust as well.

I think that is a bit noble and elitist as well. I know we are fine with saying "oh the OP is just an advertisement and do not listen to him" but who are we to judge people as well, I definitely disagree with OP and he is just a lying marketer who wants to lie his way into casino world by stealing customers from other places with his lies and take their money, however that is just what I think and I am not like some sort of crypto gambling commissioner or something, I am just a regular person. This results with two other questions, one is are we on a forum where everyone is free to say their thoughts ? I think so yeah so that means if someone claims their website is the best than we have the right to say they are full of shit as well.

Secondly are we going to listen to some person creating a topic saying all websites are bad and only his is good ? Well no but than what makes us listening worthy if he is not worthy? OP is as non-worthy as us so on this topic everyone should be wrong.

Most people literally do this by just keep buying or selling instead of doing anything more? I mean if you are looking for just people on bitmex I am sure most people on bitmex use leverage or do futures and shorts in order so they could be the favorite part of the bitmex since there is no reason to trade there if you are not going to do any of those things but there is literally billions of dollars going around in binance where there is absolutely no futures or leverages going around neither.

I am one of those people and when I think bitcoin is going to go low I just turn into fiat on the exchange and than I try to buy at what I think is the bottom and when I think its going to go higher I just keep holding it basically so those are my basically shorts and longs and I never risk anything above my money.

I think it is not as bad as some people make it to be. After all its a guaranteed increase, bitcoin is the number one coin and maybe others could go up a lot higher but after all bitcoin will go up when others are going up and bitcoin goes down when others go down which means bitcoin is just a pure guaranteed result.

Of course investing into other stuff is good as well but when its out of crypto, so if you invest into bitcoin and than gold than that is understandable, one may go down while other goes up and you wouldn't as hurt but getting like some altcoin as well as bitcoin doesn't make sense other than risking more for bigger reward. I only have bitcoin and ethereum and I am even thinking about getting rid of ethereum as well so I may turn to only bitcoin investor too.

Well, it does help out a bit to equally share that money into smaller number of coins which helps us focus that money into bigger coins and in return help bitcoin as well. When there is 1 billion in economy and goes to 100 companies it gets shared thin however if there are 10 coins it gets a lot bigger and increases those prices.

I know exchanges like to add new coins because it makes sure they get some new volume and from trading fee make a lot of money but if a coin is under like 10 thousand dollars in volume is there really a need to keep them, I am sure most of that money will stay in binance/bittrex to trade other coins instead and not just leave forever.

I am sure these exchanges are now aware of that and delist coins much easier compared to how tough it was to get delisted in exchanges. You would have to be really dead to get listed on poloniex three years ago, now its like a weekly thing.

It was expected, after all we all gave away free money to some people without ever really knowing what we would do if they just took the money and leave. Not many of us know those people well neither and some of us don't even know where the ICO was based on so some of them did get their punishment via court but some of them just got away with it which resulted with more and more people scamming in ICO world since they knew there was a chance they would get away with it without having any problems at all.

I really do not think we can stop these scams since they can do it and get away with it but the best way of defense is to research the ICO's very well and react accordingly, IEO's help out a lot in that regard because they do research for you and save you time.

I think this new found hype will help out getting new money in too which is what we needed for so long. 24th of April became the 8th biggest transaction day in bitcoin and that is enough to show you that we are in fact in another bull hype, even if the bull doesn't come this is enough proof to say that in fact we are in a bull hype and everyone is expecting bitcoin to skyrocket soon since everything required for it is already established.

I think the clearest choice here is that believing in bitcoin price towards that inevitable all time high because there is absolutely no reason to not go there anymore. Everything is ready and this time I am sure if we go there the fall won't be as harsh, there could be some corrections but not this long and not this far down.

The scary part is no judge is smart enough to know what/who Satoshi Nakomoto is and why we can or can't call Craig he is not Satoshi, so the result could be anything and this baboon of a man will come out and say that he is Satoshi and this is the proof if some idiot judge just doesn't care and says "yeah fine he is or what not" and not even really do their research.

Dudes personal defense is he paid the website with his credit card and that should be proof enough that he is in fact Satoshi Nakomoto because he paid one domain with one credit card. That can't be enough reason to actually call him Satoshi but in courts perspective that could be potentially enough. I hope the reverse happens and court says he is not, that way at least he will shut up for a little while.

We are still hovering around 5200-5300 levels and I do not understand why people think that is bad, that is still amazingly good. People are so used to going up that they think when we start to go up it will be a forever endless increase without ever falling at all. Of course there will be small falls but considering we were around 3500 levels just a month ago I think we should be super glad that the "drop" is just 5200 levels and that is it nothing further.

I think traders needs to recover from attacking all the time, its not easy taking bitcoin to a higher price and its even harder to try and fail so they do regroup and get themselves together and than attack back but the fall during that time is the most important show of force and since we didn't fall too much there is nothing to worry. Bitcoin price is perfect right now and it will go higher and higher there is no doubt about that. All we need to do is be patient and use all our spare money to keep buying bitcoin.
