There is still a lot of market manipulation. Whales are able to pump the prices with a few keystrokes, thats how powerful they are. They even go and set fake buy and sell walls to scare other investors. They love to go stop loss hunting and pick up coins on the cheap.

I fear that exchanges won't be equipped to handle all the new users this bull run. On the 2017 run up to 20k exchanges like coinbase couldn't handle the massive influx of new customers and I believe this next bull run will be 5x as big as the last.

I tend to go with anything that has a big community and strong marketing. You can have the best technology in the world but without proper advertising you won't find enough customers. Also I like to go after the low marketcap coins because they rise much faster in bull runs than coins like btc.

I think we will see another dip but the lowest I believe bitcoin will go is 4000. There are just too many people waiting to buy that are in traditional finance. We all know wall street firms have big pockets and they are competing with each other to fill up their bags.

There will be a point when bitcoin is so widely used that places like Amazon and Ebay will be forced to accept it or they will lose out on a lot of potential customers. The biggest obstacle to full adoption is scalability but hopefully lightning network will be able to put those fears to rest.

I remember more than 1 year ago, i found my nano coin wallet with 250 coins. I lost the wallet too but found it in my google drive, searched whole google to find the way to recover it. I claim it from their free faucet when it was very cheap and at the time i found it, the price was 22$/ coin.
Wish I had a similar tale to tell but I've lost thousands of dollars on my old hard drives that I couldn't restore. A bunch of ethereum and bitcoin I bought when prices were cheaper , kinda sucks but hey thats life I guess.

I tried a trading bot and it was even a paid one. Long story short I lost a lot of money and I will never be using a trading bot again unless I am able to create it myself. I prefer to do trading with the human mind instead.

I don't think many people know who Satoshi really is, the amount is probably less than 5 if I had to guess. I hope Satoshi returns someday and thanks everyone that bought bitcoin but he will probably remain private for the rest of his life.

I think there are a lot of dishonest voters atm.
We need to spread more fud, we didn't all get to fully fill our bags at the 3k levels.

2017 was spectacular but I do not believe we will get anywhere close to 20k this year. I'm thinking around 10k range. There are a lot of people that are just praying to break even and this run up will be met with a ton of sellers.

There are so many posts, articles, essays on the web that a lot of times you will get a false positive when it happened by coincidence. Sounds like I'm protecting plagiarizers but unless the post is decently long with a high percentage match its harsh to throw down the ban hammer.

I believe Satoshi would be in favor of altcoins and any new ideas that could possibly improve on btc. BTC is the king and will remain so but it annoys me when people automically say every coin that isn't btc is a scam or garbage. Not trying to shill eth but don't forget that BTC and ETH were dangerously close to flipping.

There is a huge amount of accounts that were registered that haven't made a single post. Perhaps those on es could get deleted as a lot of them contain usernames that others may wish to have.

Ref links generally aren't an issue unless you go overboard with it and become a true spammer. Its annoying when you get posts deleted or the thread you posted in gets completely deleted without a reason given. Still doesn't happen too often but its really bad in mining speculation.

400 millions transactions is a huge one despite of a decentralized network bitcoin is still doing great like this, and the recent stability have busted the confidence of new users to get fully involved. And from the chart it show the market is really growing and the number of wallets users are on the increase.
Compare that with credit card transactions over the same period or even just the last year and the amount for bitcoin will look very very tiny.

Name: Vitalik Buterin Somehow we need to persuade these members to become active in the forum again. I really dislike how a few successful altcoins only used Bitcointalk to gain publicity, and abandoned the forum the moment their premined bag of altcoins made then very, very rich. When the topic starter is gone for more than a year, I'd say it's time to lock the thread. I suspect you missed out on investing in the Ethereum ICO as well? One of my biggest regrets is not buying in under $1 and listening to the people calling eth a scam Most discussions has already moved to reddit. Reddit has killed off most online forums and brought all discussion to its platform.

Not a game changer but good publicity. If people are seeing that others are willing to sell real estate for cryptos like Bitcoin, they'll be less likely to see it as a scam and maybe research about it, which could lead them to trying it.
The issue is the sellers are converting instantly to fiat, they aren't going to hold crypto. It will still take a long time for traditional market sellers to accept crypto and actually hold it. This is the gift and curse of being an early adopter, you experience the wild price dips but also the crazy runs.

The want people to remain stupid and be taught fake history in school. They are training citizens to be slaves to low paying jobs, remember that knowledge is power. They teach us useless things in school, it is a complete waste of time.

don't! ICOs have always been a terrible idea and majority of them have been purely scams. you could simply categorize all of them in 2017 as high risk bets in a gambling game. now in 2019 that they are nearly dead and people have stopped making such bets, they are even worse which means the odds of you "winning" such bets are nearly zero.
Thats just not true, there are a lot of good projects that had very good returns. Don't just throw every new project under the bus. I remember when many called ethereum a scam at the beginning and those early investors are sitting pretty right now.
