MrBigHang, I bought in about $8800. It is a bit worrying. I'm not sure if i should be putting in a sell just before it hits that or not. I wouldn't want caught in a trap and sell, then a second later it reverses.

Do you buy for long term or you have something else in plan?If you are buy for long term than you have option to hold and do nothing,price will go up like always-or you can sell and wait to price drop and then buy back.If you're scared for your investment just put sell order at 8800$ or above,if price go to that level you will have your money back.

It is normal for such things to happen,rise from 6000$ to almost 12 000$ obviously needs correction.There is more sellers then buyers,an eternal game of supply&demand.

Only two coin from Top 100 are in green,and one of them is NANO with 12%+ growth in last 24 hours,interesting situation.I think that this does not have too much to do with Android wallet which is still in beta,and it is not working good according to many users' comments on Reddit.

Regarding that Coinbase rumor,it is come form GarryTan , he is investor in Coinbase and he is very satisfied with NANO speed transaction/also he comment that NANO could be in top 5 coins on market.

I'd love to know the answer to this question:

Who is paying 200, 500, 800 or even 1000 satoshis per byte under these conditions? WTF

Why even pay 50? Why 10!!!?

Many have no other choice. Many web services have fixed withdrawal fee and the value was not updated since last year.
The result is that they pay huge fees because of no good enough programming.

This is true,some exchanges did not change fees at all-as if nothing had changed.I try to withdraw from one not so popular exchange and withdraw fee is 120 000 satoshi,that's crazy.I guess that there are those who still think that high fees are necessary among ordinary users,and this site for suggested fees which has often been posted on forum does not help at all.Since it is show in top of Google search results,people still pay much more than we should pay.
14184  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-02-22] PayPal CFO: Bitcoin’s Success is Very Likely on: February 22, 2018, 12:00:57 PM
This is not first time some of PayPal high ranking staff say positive things about BTC and future of cryptocurrency.We all remember PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and his opinion about BTC,and also his investments which was the "big" news recently.

Quote
PayPal was one of the first companies to accept cryptocurrency as a currency on its platform,
allowing merchants the option to be paid in Bitcoin as early as 2014/2015.

This part is not clear to me,because there is some general opinion that PayPal is not too friendly when it comes to buying/selling cryptocurrency?
14185  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Up or Down, Crypto Investments forces me to save money! on: February 21, 2018, 03:00:27 PM
.. that would be otherwise spent on shopping for more clothes and shoes and makeup that I do not really need! lol

I'm basically putting $500 every month into crypto, either into one of the coins I already have that is being dumped by others atm; or venture into other promising altcoin that I have been researching for awhile.

There is nothing wrong in saving money,in any case this is much better than borrowing money and taking the loan.What matters is that a person knows what they are doing,instead of a random investment-like playing lottery with altcoins.Considering that you invest in many coins,you're reducing your risk in a way-but altcoins largely depend on stability of BTC(for now).

For short term investment and possible high returns on some altcoins it is worth the risk,for long term investment beside BTC only few coins are worth in my opinion.If coin have no application except pump&dupm scheme,it is expected that it will disappear with time.
14186  Economy / Speculation / Re: [Poll] A Dead Cat? on: February 21, 2018, 11:42:43 AM
It seems to me that someone has decided to profit when the price approached 12 000$,taking into account the opportunity to buy under 6000$ level recently -100% profit looks very good.I think that after few days we can expect again rise toward 12k$,and what is happen is just small correction expected after 6000$ price increase.

Somehow I expect to see 15 000$ in March,this year could finally solve transaction/fees problems and push price to new ATH.
14187  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-02-18] Polish Central Bank Secretly Funds Anti-Crypto Youtube Propaganda on: February 21, 2018, 11:18:35 AM

You have to take into account that Poland is an extremely religious country.
Therefore it comes as no surprise that they are trying to discourage cryptocurrency investments.

You will the same kind of propaganda video for other topics like gambling as well.

Of course it is possible that the Polish Central Bank has ulterior motives as they are one
of the entities that is endangered by the emergence of digital currencies.

I see no link between religion and cryptocurrency,to my knowledge Catholic Church does not have a opinion on BTC,and even if have I doubt that would be negative.The Polish government very strongly implemented various measures regarding the protection of national interests,and this is probably one way to warn citizens to all the dangers that entails investing in cryptocurrency.

It should not be neglected that about a year ago Poland is "officially recognized the trading and mining of virtual currencies",so they are not against BTC in general,but only want to prevent some unwanted consequences.
14188  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Can't update Android App on: February 21, 2018, 10:37:47 AM
Hi,

How can I update Android App without uninstall the current version? I have version 2.9.3 and need to update to 3.0.6. In Google Play, it shows that it's already installed and I can't update it. I downloaded the APK file, but I can't install it over the current version.

Thanks.

If you can not make an update on current version,then it is the best solution to make clean install.If you have a seed it should not be problem to uninstall 2.9.3 version and restore your wallet with seed in 3.0.6.

I do not know what is the reason which prevents you to upgrade,but problem may be in Google Play,current version of Electrum,or there is some bug with your Android OS.Anyway it is best to make clean install(if you have your seed) to prevent any problems with old/new files.
14189  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoin finally reached 11k$,your prediction? on: February 20, 2018, 12:08:55 PM
At this point it seems that the bad days are behind us(some would not have agreed that these were bad days) and with last days of February BTC is back on track.The situation seems pretty good and investor confidence is slowly returning with much more good than bad news.

Whatever happened when the price dropped bellow 6000$ it only make BTC more stronger.Many are concerned these days,but many also have taken advantage of the opportunity and increased their amounts of BTC and some altcoins.

I think if there is no some bad news,price could be reach 15 000$ in March and after that the way up to new ATH would be open.Although you should always keep in mind how unstable and unpredictable market can be these days.In some analyzes there is a possibility to returning to 7000$ level or even bellow.

I don't have any email. I have deleted those.
Is there any way to contact the dogechain support team?

I think there will not be any help from Dogechain.info since they have not any control of your ID or password.I guess you try to type something in ID box,sometimes browser is remember such data and display some suggestions,but only if you do not clear cookies and cache of your browser.

I think your best chance is to contact your e-mail provider and explain your situation,maybe they can somehow recover your deleted e-mails.
14191  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: www.coinforecast.io | New Bitcoin/Altcoin short-term prediction service on: February 20, 2018, 10:45:22 AM
The idea is interesting,but it is very hard task to predict price movement in world of cryptocurrency.For short term prediction the forecast may be fairly accurate,but for 2 weeks it's a pretty slippery ground.

I see you actual price of BTC now is 11289$,but on most exchanges price is close to 11400-from where you get price on your site?

Let see how your prediction is accurate in long term for March 5,it say 11433$ in 2 weeks-what is actually todays price.My feeling says price should be something more than that,but let's wait and see Wink

I have a few s9’s shipped but UPS keeps saying export scan and changing my delivery date with no US arrival. Is this because of Chinese New Year? Anyone else having this issue?

This is a bad time for ordering anything form China,as psycodad say at this time everything is slow to the maximum or even stopped.I was looking some things from their online shops and most of item have info that can only be sent in first days of March.

Code:
February 16, 2018

The Chinese New Year of 2018 falls on February 16th (Friday), and the festival will last to March 2nd, about 15 days in total.
14193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: "Ethereum" founder warns cryptocurrencies ‘could drop to near-zero at any time’ on: February 19, 2018, 02:27:41 PM
It is nothing strange in the fact that people should be warn regarding cryptocurrency,this is something very risky.We've got used to it already since banks and other financial institutions repeating it day by day.But I agree that it is strange that Buterin say : "people shouldn’t invest into assets which are so highly volatile" and also say that some traditional assets like gold/silver/precious stones is better option for storing life savings.

It seems that after he filled his pockets with fiat thanks to cryptocurrency,he changed his mind and now he is maybe suggests people to sell crypto and invest somewhere else.Maybe he is hunting for some cheap coins or he drank too much vodka this winter Wink

14194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Electrum-XVG 2.4.1 wallet will not connect, please help on: February 19, 2018, 01:38:43 PM
Mine is working also with 46.163.118.201 ip address and ssl cheked

Waiting to see my first xvg transaction

Does electrum xvg need to download the blockchain??

Any Electrum wallet is lightweight wallet,so there is no need to download full chain but only blockchain headers file which is in case of BTC around 40 MB.I'm not sure what size of that file is in case of XVG wallet,but it should not be too much.So if you have some incoming transaction it should be visible in a very short time.
14195  Economy / Speculation / Re: Don’t be impulsive! Buy and Hold Bitcoin until 2020! on: February 19, 2018, 11:30:09 AM
I say if you have time, hold for next 5-10 years at least.In next 10 years there will be 3 halving(2020,2024,2028) and it will significantly reduce production of mined BTC.Assume that demand will increase over the years and that BTC will be accepted as a means of payment in most countries,so we can pay direct in BTC instead of conversion in fiat.

If you are experienced trader and and you can keep track of the market,you can trade and make more BTC in that time.There should be many price pumps and the correction that will follow after that.I do not see anything especially in year 2020,except halving-but if you are McAfee fan, then this year you will likely to become a millionaire Wink
14196  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Dying as a Payment Option? on: February 19, 2018, 10:55:01 AM
It should be noted that this article was written more than a month ago when the situation was pretty bad in terms of high fees and slow transaction.Also some info say that owner of Cointelegraph is Roger Ver,one of the people who does not want good to BTC.

As we can see, the situation turned completely and now you can send BTC for ridiculously small amounts,for example 0.27$ will get transaction confirmed in next 6 blocks.SegWit and Lightning Network will make transactions more faster and cheaper,and it's just a matter of time when we can pay with BTC everywhere.And when that happens BTC will become one of your favorite method of payment.

You should urgently do something regarding your service,every site which use your service is loading slow,and it is happen for days making the most of the pages completely useless.It is not clear to me whether the problem is of a financial nature or technical ignorance to get things done properly?

Bitcoin Foundation’s Llew Claasen Says Bitcoin Will Hit $40,000, 90% Of Altcoins Will Fail.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-foundations-llew-claasen-says-bitcoin-will-hit-40000-90-of-altcoins-will-fail

Hmm! it is a bitter prediction after the dip (losses) or a better prediction which need to ponder?
For me, seems Llew Claseen needs a quick revenue after a huge losses.

That price prediction is very popular among many investors and Llew Claasen did not predict anything new,maybe he just read what Michael Novogratz said a few months ago that Bitcoin could 'easily' reach $40,000 by the end of 2018

If you just think about it and if all the facts are taken into account then 40 000$ is not something hard to reach.Last year show how nothing is impossible,from 1000$ to 20 000$ was amazing progress.So if todays price is go up just 4 times, 40 000$ will be realized.

What definitely should not be forgotten is a correction that will most likely follow next ATH, and it can be 50% more or less.
14199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will ETH beat BTC someday? on: February 18, 2018, 12:13:57 PM
ETH is now approximately 10% of BTC value in $,so only way to ETH value go up is to BTC also go up.Maybe one day when BTC price reach 100 000 $, 1 ETH will be worth 10 000$.Of course this is only an assumption based on trends that are actual today,but ETH is relatively new coin in comparison to BTC.It may eventually become more valuable then today,but I think it will be difficult to take over BTC.

Thanks for the reply! Smiley

Yeah, I know, that a hardware wallet is the best option, but I think, that a blockchain.info wallet is save too... And a Bitpay mobile wallet also, because I alone have access to my private key!

And there are many cards, which don't require verification... I only want virtual ones for investing and spending bitcoins online... Cheesy

Do you know a good place, where I can buy bitcoins with Paypal? Undecided

Do not even compare hardware wallet and online wallets,these are two separate worlds in terms of private keys protection.When you use hardware wallet your private keys never leave device and you can take your wallet with you and use it on any other device.

Regarding cards and anonymity,all will ask you for verification-if not then something is wrong with that service probably and they will be the target of various institutions who hunts money laundering, terrorism and similar.

PayPal is a very risky way of buying BTC,but you can try here on forum : Currency Exchange

Second option(I have never tried personally),but fees could be pretty high : Paxful
