It's just a normal healthy correction. It was well overdue & needed tbh. Things will pick up again soon Wink
142  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Bread (formally breadwallet) announces Bread Token on: December 21, 2017, 10:47:21 AM
I managed to buy some bread tokens during the recent ICO on binance & this morning I see the tokens are now showing in my wallet (but can't be traded or transferred yet). From what i'm lead to believe, we can expect trading to go live around 23rd or 24th December.
143  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is there such demand for Bitcoin? on: December 19, 2017, 03:17:48 PM
There's lots of reasons for the increased demand: As the community has grown larger, more people have bought in causing the price the price to rise. This increase in price has lead to more media exposure which has increased awareness & adoption at an even greater rate. The barrier to entry has become smaller too, as Bitcoin is seen more legitimate & less shady that it was in the past. There's more wallets & exchanges than ever as well as more people who can help newbies learn the ropes.
144  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm donating 5057 BTC to charitable causes! Introducing The Pineapple Fund on: December 14, 2017, 03:18:30 PM
Actually, I have thought of one worthy charity: http://www.fightfortheforgotten.org

It's a charity set up my MMA fighter Justin Wren for liberating pygmy slaves in the Congo, as well as drilling wells to provide sustainable drinking water, rainforest preservation & wildlife conservation. Joe Rogan himself recently donated bitcoin to his charity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk2jKc2U2Z0

I've reached out to Justin & encouraged him to apply to your website & I really hope you can help Smiley
145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does Social Media Influence bitcoin growth? on: December 13, 2017, 02:50:38 PM
Yes, of course social media influences Bitcoin's growth. The increased exposure really helps bring exposure to Bitcoin & in a way helps legitimize it as it becomes something most people are familiar with (I.e brand recognition).
146  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin is like heroin on: December 10, 2017, 02:21:36 PM
Yes there is no denying Bitcoin is highly addictive. I'm amazed at how much of my time i've suddenly invested into Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency in general. I'm not complaining though!
147  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cameron Winklevoss Predicts That Bitcoin Will Reach Multi-Trillion Value on: December 10, 2017, 02:12:57 PM
Yes, no doubt we are still at the early phase of Bitcoin adoption. There's a long way to go yet but I see no reason why the market cap can't reach multi-trillion valuation.
148  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if a person died with BTC!! on: December 10, 2017, 02:09:31 PM
I think anyone who has invested a decent amount into crytocurrency needs to make sure that they've secured it safely & that they've provided a trusted loved one the ability to access that investment should something happen to you. I've shown my wife how to open & operate my hardware wallet & have written her the pin code & kept it safe.
149  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you keep buying? on: December 10, 2017, 10:09:49 AM
I do still buy but I i've slowed down the amount I invest by quite a bit. I used to invest regularly the moment I had available cash, but nowadays I just wait for market corrections & buy the dips.
150  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm donating 25 Bitcoin to good causes this Christmas. Join in and give Bitcoin on: December 10, 2017, 09:27:33 AM
Don't really have any suggestions above what has been mentioned above, but just wanted to congratulate you on a truly worthy & noble cause! Hopefully these donations go on to make a big difference to those charities whom receive them, as well as inspire others to donate too.
151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why most top coins are falling? on: December 10, 2017, 09:18:30 AM
Yeah it's just a normal correction, which was well overdue anyways. This time next week, we'll probably be back at all time high's for a lot of these coins haha.
152  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Anyone else feel unsettled about recent price? on: December 09, 2017, 07:22:20 AM
Yes i've been concerned too. The recent price pump wasn't sustainable & I always worry about the possibility of a massive correction when the price spikes like it did. The other frustrating thing is these crazy BTC bull runs always seem to suck the life out of all the alts, which isn't healthy for the overall market.
153  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is bitcoin the most popular cryptocurrency? on: December 09, 2017, 07:18:32 AM
Bitcoin has first mover advantage by being the first Cryptocurrency out there. It has been around the longest, which help gives it bigger brand recognition & trust amongst the general population.
154  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] ICO IS LIVE- ALTTRADEX- PROFESSIONAL GRADE TRADING PLATFORM on: December 05, 2017, 02:53:06 PM
I've just gone through the refund process & got my ETH back immediately & without fuss. Thanks.
155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which is the best wallet to store bitcoin. on: December 03, 2017, 05:47:08 PM
As others have mentioned, your safest option is to get yourself a hardware wallet. I personally use the Ledger Nano S & highly recommend it.
156  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to your Bitcoin when you Die? on: December 03, 2017, 05:25:11 PM
I've written instructions for my wife on how to use & access my hardware wallet in case she ever needed to. It's a bit morbid to think about but it's always a good idea to give a trusted love one the ability to access your crypto in case of any unfortunate circumstances.
157  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Safest way to keep bitcoins? on: December 03, 2017, 05:12:31 PM
Best advice I can give you is to get yourself a hardware wallet. I have the Ledger Nano s & highly recommend it. Aside from using a hardwallet, just take basic security measures like ensuring you have a good antivirus, beward of scam / phishing sites, never share your private key with anyone, use 2FA wherever you can, don't use same password for all your accounts etc.
158  Economy / Speculation / Re: what you think about bitcoin in like 5 years? on: December 02, 2017, 07:57:25 AM
It's hard to predict what will happen in the cryptospace in the next 5 weeks, let alone 5 years! There will certainly be many ups & downs between now & then, but I foresee Bitcoin to be in a healthy position with mainstream adoption & a price a lot higher than its current value.
159  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Kucoin & Binance are the new Bittrex & Polo ? seems so. on: December 02, 2017, 06:55:29 AM
Binance are working on adding the stop loss feature, which should be implemented very soon hopefully. I've been using Binance as my main exchange for about 3 months now without issue & it's honestly become my favorite & most trusted exchange. I'm not too familiar Kucoin though.
160  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the price of bitcoin increase forever? on: November 30, 2017, 08:42:10 AM
Nothing lasts forever. So no, the price will not just keep increasing indefinitely. However, as long as demand continues to outstrip supply then it will. In the overall scheme of things, we're still so early in the bitcoin (& crypto in general) life cycle, was it should be many many years yet until you have to worry about the price reaching its ultimate peak.
