Since early in 2013, Darkcoin has been a permanent fixture in the daily digital currency news. From Darkcoin’s initial meteoric rise, quickly reaching a USD value of $15, to the level of security and innovation it provides for privacy seekers, to the failures and triumphs of the “Masternode Network”, Darkoin has been almost as interesting and intriguing as Bitcoin itself. And 2015 is shaping up to be a year of rebirth for Darkcoin, which is now Dash. We discuss the state of Dash, and the digital currency industry, with core developer Evan Duffield here on CCN. https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/evan-duffield-dash-darkcoin-dash-will-position-direct-competitor-bitcoin/Sure. And I've heard that MJ will invest 90% of his fortune into Dash.  It can try. But no. |

After readng through this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1038549.0, I was thinking... The market is bearish, and there's no BT*cough*, money to be made. So I think it would be best for us to relax until the next bull run occurs. When that happens, people will come again. And that means, there's new money coming in the crypto economy. And that means it's open season. And that means war. Until then, can we keep everything nice and civil? |

Techcrunch article from the outside looking in. The bitcoin-watching news service CoinDesk recently released its first quarter look into the cryptocurrency’s performance during the opening months of 2015. Mostly the data is net positive, showing an increase in total wallets, and investment. However, [b[there are a number of included data points that demonstrate slowing growth in key bitcoin, and bitcoin-related areas.[/b] The collected data indicates that the first quarter of 2015 was the most popular ever in terms of the dollar-value of venture capital investments made into the bitcoin ecosystem. That data point, however, is skewed by a single investment — the $116 round million invested into 21, a company that remains at least partially occluded in terms of its ambitions. Aside from that single investment, first quarter venture investment was on par — $113 million — with the preceding fourth quarter. Key to bitcoin’s performance, at least from an external perspective, is the number of wallets in existence. Those receptacles and storage locations of bitcoin help the market understand how many new people the cryptocurrency is attracting. In the first quarter, according to the CoinDesk report, total wallets grew from 7.4 million to 8.4 million, up 14 percent on a sequential quarter basis. That growth rate is likely under expectations from a year ago. The market value of all bitcoin in circulation — some remains yet-to-be-mined — fell from the last quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of 2015 by 36 percent.Here’s CoinDesk’s recent chart of aggregate bitcoin trading volume, on a monthly basis:  The sequential quarter total is skewed by the November timeframe, but it seems that volume hasn’t seen too great an acceleration, or deceleration in the last two three-month cycles. Among the bulleted key takeaways that the report contains is the following: “Bitcoin struggled to gain mainstream consumer traction [in the quarter].” That has been the case for the life of bitcoin. That the trend persists isn’t, therefore, too surprising. Still, it isn’t hard to wonder what bitcoin firms that pitched investors over the past 18 months, predicted would happen — did they anticipate that the price of bitcoin be so low? Would investors have invested quite so much over the past year if bitcoin wallet adoption was as slow as it has been?Last thought, here’s CoinDesk’s aggregate new merchant adoption of bitcoin:  I would guess merchant adoption to be down until bitcoin makes another evolutionary jump is usability. Everyone who would want to accept bitcoin in its current state mostly already has. Yup. But that won't change the numbers. Whether that article is totally based on facts or not is besides the point (for me). That article is from Techcrunch. The group of people who run it knows what's up in the tech world. And that article shows what they think of Bitcoin at present. It's a bleak picture, and an article that insinuates that Coindesk was skewing the numbers to make it seem everything is booming. When in reality, it's not. Techcrunch is probably trying to show the people outside of Bitcoin what's up. |

That would be even better news than a cheap 200 BTC Bitcoin. Just don't kill yourselves once it goes back up and you didn't took advantage of the moronic perception of Bitcoin today.
Pffft. Don't be butthurt. And don't worry, we'll also be with you when the bull run starts.  Will you have a lot of kleenex? because im assuming after all of this FUDing it just means you've sold already, and aren't buying back. Not fudding, BTC is in a downtrend. And are you kidding? And miss all the fun when the bull run starts? Don't worry, we'll be back. For now, I'll be holding Ripple Snapswap.USD, Bitstamp.USD, a little Bit.USD and some NBT. And I'm saving up some fiat from real life to add in my warchest. Edit: Although I'm holding a little bit of BTC for altcoin trading, I sold most of them in order to buy lower. |

nice article, and very true until i come to this point
The thing is, without the crazy price jump in the last year, Bitcoin wouldn’t be what it is today. The $1,200 price surge gave it notoriety that literally made it a worldwide phenomenon.
i don't think that bitcoin is now more known only because of that peak, the real hard work that has made bitcoin more famous, was done by Doge in my view, doge has attracted tons of newbies, who started using bitcoin, and then they converted it in doge
it's a combined effort. dogecoin indeed attracted a lot people that didn't know of crypto before. but i think the +$1000 peak had a bigger impact as it attracted a lot speculators. And a lot of them lost money. Didn't leave a good impression on them, I think... They'll be back for more in the next bull run Yup... Only to lose money again. Where others suffer from heavy losses, there are also a few people laughing their ass of because of the profit they made What's bad for one person is good for the other. Yep. That's how pyramid schemes tend to work. Get in early and get out fast - profit! Nah. It's not as simple as that. I think trading is more like a poker game. For every winner, there's a loser. Well, gambling is usually a net-negative proposition - a winner, a loser, and the house (exchanges). You're right. I forgot about the rake. |

Bitcoin, a ponzi pyramid scheme under "new tech's" name. k Edit: See what losing money makes you do? |

So, The gold price fell below $1,200 last week and like other investors, you too are bearish on gold bullion. There are people who have a tendency to be bearish on Investing in Physical Gold and they keep on suggesting that you should too. I have seen and many of you would also agree with me that investors have done extremely well when they have shown the courage to go against the trend and hold a position when others or a majority is downright negative on the same thing. If you look closely to the situation around, you will realize that gold bullion is offering that same golden opportunity to you. Watch this video--Lombardi says there is a classic supply/demand squeeze is in the works that could push up gold prices significantly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ippoROePWoQ Isn't denial in the beginning of a downtrend? |

This might be a bad thing to say but in trading we need people to lose money... Preferably lots of them. |

Catch 22 for me. I think the bubble came way too early in bitcoins lifetime. But if it wasn't for the bubble I don't think I would of ever heard of bitcoin.
This explains a lot on why a lot of people lost money. |
