I think loaning Bitcoins is a great way to gain some Bitcoin while holding your investment. If you can find the right exchanges that allows lending, it can be safe as well.
It still involves risk either way even if you find the right exchanges that allows lending. I agree with you that sometimes it can be safe since it will only involves a little risk. I would recommend everyone who wants to lend their bitcoins to traders poloniex.com just like what OP said since it is a good and known exchange and it is safer doing it there. Crypto-games.net is good too for those who want to invest on bankrolls for casino.

I guess Africa wouldn't readily embrace bitcoin because I know their leaders would not accept it since it cannot be controlled and manipulated. The people there I think would not readily use bitcoin too since not all people there have internet access and a computer/smartphone to use to store bitcoin yet. Also, using crypto currency would be a hassle for some people there.

As far as I know bitfinex have much more than other sites just because many use it and don't dump their btc that often. Another reason is this current problem in bitfinex since no one can deposit at their exchange right now and because of it dumping strength there is lessened as well as buy. If that is fixed I'm sure a dump will happen at bitfinex.

i am talking about a "speculation topic" talking about the "price" of bitcoin and how it can be affected by this news. all the topic you say are all saying "yaaay Japan accepts bitcoin", and then comments are all "this is good news" ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) For now all I can say is that if this Japan accepts bitcoin hype continues and become reality bitcoin will reach new all time highs more than 1400$ maybe 1500$+. It will also make bitcoin price move a lot because many transactions will happen and maybe it will help get bitcoin stable to a fixed price ranges lasting weeks or months long even if it moves a lot.

Bitcoin having regulations on EU might be good since many companies will start to see the potential of bitcoin so Ill say that the regulations that will be implemented will impact the price but not that great unless it covers worldwide transactions. I know that there will be some dumps that will occur because of bitcoin being regulated since many use it because it gives anonymity but with this anonymity will be gone so I expect some people to dump their bitcoin.

If I were you OP I would diversify my investment and buy bitcoin 50%, real estates 25%, and gold 25% because these three has the most secured value among those mentioned so therefore there are lesser risk of losing money. Real estates value will always remain since the population is growing everyday and of course gold has been the best to store wealth and earn some money in return of holding it. Bitcoin will be good to hold long term or to day trade so that you will have more profit.

I agree with him that bitcoin price is overvalued but I don't think that it is 1000 times overvalued. Maybe the current price we have now is not the real value of bitcoin as a currency but rather we see now the value of bitcoin as an asset and a currency. Many treats it like an asset to buy and sell for profit in terms of fiat so it really is overvalued at some point because there's a manipulation by some people.

The majority seems to think Bitcoin will cross $2000 and so do I. There is strong resistance at these levels ($1200), but I think once these levels are crossed, we will have a bull rally. We can easily cross $2000 by Christmas time.
Maybe we will have a bull rally to $2000+ but I know if a rally comes there will be a peak and of course I expect a dump to occur soon. We might even go back to sub $1000 by that time so I voted $1200 since Christmas 2018 is not near yet and of course dumps can happen as well as pumps so I think bitcoin will not be even near $2000 by that time but it might be reached before Christmas 2018 happens.

I had big hopes in Trump. Just like I had in Obama 8 years ago. But the media and US government did it again. They fooled us. Made us think Hillary will bring WWIII but at the same time made us think that Trump is a nightmare for the western world and their goals to destroy middle east. Well played. Now they got installed a psycho as president.
Now, on many sources I´ve read, that war is coming soon. Japan, China, South Korea, North Korea and USA. Of course USA is playing the world police again and the scenario is written already. They act like they have to go against evil North Korea. Use of nuklear weapons pretty much possible. At the end, all I hope is that the US will see how war is. I hope the war will not be in Europe, middle east etc. I hope it will come to you Uncle Sam. In your country. Kill you premium humans and your children.
Whatever. What do you guys think will happen with the BTC price if this scenario will come true in a few weeks?
I have pretty much all my cash in Bitcoin and I am not sure if everything would go to hell if these psychos start this war? I guess they will cut most of the internet connection in the world, so people can not communicate and nobody will know whats going on in the world. So they can do their crimes and we have to start believing the shit in the newspapers again.
Not sure what to do with them coins now? I guess Fiat money will also be useless in war. Switch all to gold?
If the war starts im sure btc will be unusable since I think internet connection would be cut off resulting to never moving price or a low bitcoin price. Fiat I think will have worth but it is not that much and gold might have worth too. For sure if war happens the world would be chaotic so better prepare ourselves for fighting and our bitcoin stash safe and sound so that we will have some money to return to if war will end.

I really do think that it is just a bug from coinbase not really a dump. If that happened though, if there was someone who bought it the moment this bug happened and when it passed is a lucky man and I think he/they who bought at that price was so lucky they might be rich now but I think no one have bought at that time maybe coinbase fixed it asap then those orders fullfilled at that time is reversed I think.

I can see $2,000 by as soon as next month. The ONLY thing that is holding bitcoin back from hitting that price is the whole Bitcoin unlimited thing. I think if it weren't for all the fork talk and stuff, we would be sitting at over $2,000 with the rate Bitcoin has been climbing recently
I don't see bitcoin touching $2000 by next month since it is too soon for it to reach that price ranges and I know even before it gets near to that point maybe before it even getd near $1500 many will take profit and dump their coins causing bitcoin to move down again and because of this I don't see bitcoin touching $2000 soon.

At the end of the year 2017, I think bitcoin will have a price sitting at 1000$-2500$ range because like the past years, I believe bitcoin will go back and forth to a certain price ranges which is 1000$-1200$ even if a dump at sub 1000$ or a pump above 1300$ will occur in the future. This speculation though has a chance of not being true but most probably bitcoin will sit at 1000$-2500$ price range at the end of 2017.

For now I see bitcoin at above $1100 mark with the value of $1197 according to preev. Personally I would want it to dump a little lower to below $1100 so that I can rebuy cheap bitcoin but I don't think it would go down to price ranges lower than $1100 for now probably. I wouldn't call what happened a dump though since it is little, rather it is just a dip, a little one since changes below 100$ is normal with bitcoin.

For now I have taken profit yesterday when it still was 1200$+ price and right now according to preev the price is 1,183$ and I also think that it is currently on a downward movement even if it is going up and down a little. For now I will just watch the price movements that will happen and if it falls below 1000$, I might consider rebuying some bitcoin again for me to gain profit let's just hope we will see it above 1200$ again after the dump.

Im pretty sure yes it is it will be going into this way 2,000 $ dollar is quite good for us to be true and this will be reach someday somehow in the end of this year or maybe pretty soon as long as it will be indemand bitcoin is now in the maximum level of being famous which country starting them to unbanned and then keep continue to using this currency.
It will really be going to 2000$ but I don't think this will happen soon maybe it will happen in the next few years but not this year maybe not next year too but someday surely I know bitcoin will reach 2000$ easily and it's low prices by that time is still considered high now. In my opinion it will be reached after next halving occurs but for now I think it will just play on price ranges below it maybe not somewhere near it too.

I believe everyone will love this speculation. Read on this here : https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-price-hit-500000-2030-says-snapchats-first-investorThey are not just throwing blind balls but come with solid evidences to support their speculation. Usually both positive and negative speculations will occur quicker than expected. We may speculate price levels some what accurately but not the time frame. So, time of 2030 may shrink to 2025 too, what you think ? All I can say is that the time frame mentioned by them for bitcoin to reach 500000 on 2030 seems like to short since in my opinion it might take longer time for bitcoin to really reach the speculated price. It would be good though that a person with reputation speculates bitcoin's price since this might inspire others to invest in it by just looking at his speculation even though it might not be reached.

ok now lets see how all your eggs have been doing so far: start from 2017-03-29 (topic creation time) up to today 2017-4-12 Bitcoin $1023 ---> $1230 ---> +20%Ether 0.059 BTC --> 0.035 BTC --> -40%Dash 0.084 BTC --> 0.049 BTC --> -41%Litecoin 0.004 BTC --> 0.0077 BTC --> +92% lol, should check back in a month since LTC pumped after all the others ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FLBXFSGe.gif&t=663&c=9pY5eqHLV7TN-w) thank you @Torque for this GIF ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) If he invested big time on litecoin im sure he is enjoying his profits now and if he sold ether and dash when it was at high he might be happy with it but if not im sure he's not that sad because he still got profit on litecoin recovering his loss on the other two unless he invested bigger money on ether and dash. Its nice to see though that bitcoin is on the green right now I really do hope it won't dump soon.

It's funny because without this blocksize debate started by Core we would have been over $10,000 by now.
It's funny because without this blocksize debate started by Gavin Andresen we would have been over $100,000,000,000,000 by now. How can you be so sure that we would be over $100,000,000,000,000 by now if he didn't start this blocksize debate? I think if he didn't start it yes the price might be greater than the price we have now but I think ti would not be that big and that would be too big to reach for just a very short time. I think we would reach $10,000+ prices decades from now but reaching $100,000,000,000,000 price would be a pipe dream even if bitcoin lives in the next 2 centuries unless there would be a good news that will drive price up to that point which I think would be a miracle to happen soon.

I'm sure most of them feel bad about selling their coins at sub 1000$ but I know that some people out of the ones who sold is not regretting their decision to sell since they got profit or just needed money badly at that time and that selling saved them so I know some of them don't regret their actions because that dump they made might have saved their life or another person's life for example they used it to pay hospital bills and more that is similar to the example.
