Agree with Dash, don't know about any of the others.  It's always amusing to me to see what shitcoins people are investing in, as if there was any logic behind the choices.  I haven't even heard of most of what OP owns...good luck with your quest for profit.  LOL

Lol.  This seems like two scammers seeing who's going to lose first.  I don't trust folks here who sell gift cards, but maybe this one here was just surplus for OP.  But as Lauda has said, you're new, but you really ought to keep your wits about you on this forum and that should be obvious.   Better luck next time.

I don't even know what those coins are, and I sure as hell didn't profit from the madness surrounding them.  Too risky for my blood.   These all trade on exchanges?

Haven't exactly noticed a pattern, but I've definitely noticed there's more 'shilling' (your term) of shitcoins lately.  I'm almost ready to put the whole altcoin section on ignore for a while.  There's just too many garbage threads.

Fuck the money order, just send cash in the mail.

I've never heard anyone come up with a good reason to use bitcoin over fiat anyway.   It never made any sense to me.   Honestly I don't care if bitcoin fails at this point.  The community is full of morons and is toxic, and bitcoin is way too volatile to be a currency.

The fees don't seem that high to me, but I can imagine that if you live in a country where sig campaign earnings can feed your family for a week,  they'd be considerable.  I sent a few bucks a couple weeks ago with a ridiculously small fee, and it got stuck in the network for like 5 days.  So it can be done but as others have mentioned,  you'll be waiting a long ass time.

You ought to give a link to the article when you reference it.  CNBC actually mentioned altcoins?  That seems strange to me. 

In any case, bitcoin has "wobbled" before and seemed like it was down for the count back in 2014-15.  A little wobble doesn't bother me much.   That's just bitcoin for ya.

Ugh.  Trump has got nothing to do with the price of bitcoin.  Btc is too global to be affected by one country's dick taster.  It's this fork thing.  People panicked and sold, and now we've rebounded nicely.  I'm actually surprised that we didn't dip lower.  The momentum to do so was certainly there.

Bitcoin got hit pretty damn hard in the past few weeks,  but now it's above $1000 again.  Eth replacing btc?  No, I don't think so.   If I owned a house, I'd wager it and everything else I own--that's how certain I am about it.  Bitcoin has utility, eth just barely has one or two uses.  And there are hundreds of other coins I could say the same thing about.

How many fucking "what should I buy" threads need to be made?  You're just going to get biased and crap-ass answers.  People are going to tell you to buy whatever it is they want to dump on you.  Do you not see that?  Don't buy any of this shit.  If it ain't bitcoin, stay faaar away.

Not selling,  not buying.  Just holding & accumulating for now, but I may buy some fairly soon.   It's just lack of disposable income that's keeping me from buying,  and I definitely feel it's a good time to buy.  People really oversold this past month.

I agree, OP.  By the way,  did QTUM turn out to be a complete scam or what?  I've not been really following the altcoin section for a few days.  They have/had a self modded thread and a pretty lucrative sig campaign.   Seemed like they were going to take the money and skeedaddle.  That's typical ICO behavior,  and I do think anyone investing in these things is fucking crazy.

I don't even know what 'insane' is, but this thread is obviously a pump attempt for it.

I'm not holding any shitcoins.  Look at the craziness currently attending the dash folks.  People are out of their MF'ing minds, and I'll have no part of that.  Just bitcoin for me, thanks.

I totally agree with this sentiment.   It would be so much easier to use dash or doge for stuff, but NO ONE takes those coins.  Nevertheless,  I'm happy with bitcoin as an investment and not a currency.   

No, the key word is EASY.  Hard work can make you money, but it's not EASY money.  Work on your reading comprehension skills.

As staff said above, there's no constitution and no amendments thereof, so your "freedom of speech" is meaningless.  In my experience, people who bitch about such things on the internet have no grasp of that US-centric concept.  This really is a private forum, not a government one.

Having said that, I've had plenty of posts deleted, and most of them were justly deleted (probably for trolling-like comments).  Just suck it up and move on.  And abide by the rules here.

I probably wouldn't short bitcoin right now, as we might be rebounding past the point where it's profitable to do so.  But who knows.  Buying ETH?  Nah, I think it's a garbage, overhyped coin that's already seen its best days.  If you do either one, just don't risk too much dinero doing it.

I had to LOL at this. 

But someone tell me true, is this a good time to buy bitcoin or what?  Is this one of those drama-infested pseudo-issues that bitcoin finds itself mired in from time to time?  I don't understand the issue and frankly I don't care.  Is this selloff justified?  Are people just scared, or is there a real issue here that threatens bitcoin?  And I'm wondering if I ought to buy some at this price.

That's funny, because that's the explanation I always give for price movements, and it explains them pretty damn well.  You must have read Jesse Livermore's book.  But that's basically it, more sellers than buyers and the pressure on the price is downward.  As to why...who knows.  People may be sick of all this debate and perhaps see that bitcoin sucks as a currency, and that it's unnecessary as such.  It's still a great speculative instrument, though.

Agreed with all of what Lauda said.  What OP suggests amounts to censorship, and I'm not for that.  There are indeed tons of topics about the BU thing, but if you don't want to read them, don't read them.  There's no need to stifle this issue via moderation.
