you mean the same shake as the "government regulation of Japan" did to the market?
then yeah, it will shake it pretty good. the market will wake up from its sleep of small rises and will shoot up to the moon if they do what Japan did and regulate bitcoin. we can expect $100,000 per coin by that time.

many others have said similar things. it never made it true. no matter who they are.
many also said bitcoin will be $10,000 in a couple of years back then, that didn't make that true any more either.

all we know is that bitcoin has a lot of potential. it is still experimental to some extent but this experiment has grown too big that it has become very serious now.
you can not deny the big possibility of a good future ahead of bitcoin. there are going to be bumps on the road but it will rise big time like this year.


if Sevenfold=7x, so did he say it when bitcoin was $650ish? i remember 2014 was a bit lower at $500 and that is more of a 9-10 x rise.

i wonder where starter of this topic is

August has ended and 1 week has past from next month (September) and nothing has come out of bitcoin cash apart from a one time pump and then getting dumped back down.

when you put it like that, then nothing.
altcoins are shit in comparison with bitcoin. most of them have been around for years and have done nothing. 0 real adoption and never exiting the exchanges!

if you look at it at another angle then things are different. remove bitcoin and you can see better. because it is unfair to compare altcoins with bitcoin!

haha, you wish.
bitcoin cash is not offering anything specially while causing a lot of damage.
on top of it the future of it (in case of more adoption) is centralized data centers instead of decentralized and spread nodes around the world. i can see as clear as the day the news titles of that time:
"bitcoin cash node data center was raided by the FBI because of silkroad 3.0 and they shut down bitcoin cash for good"

it depends on how much experience you have prior to starting it. you may be brand new to trading or you can have some experience in trading stocks or other things.

with 0 experience obviously you need to spend a lot more time until you figure out how things work and then it will become much faster.

it can be both.
you can do it as a secondary job or an investment and just spend a little time, place some automatic orders like "stop-loss" and things like that.
or you can do it as a full time job for maximum profitability. there are some people who are doing it professionally as a full job called "day-traders".

these days i am a bit busy with life so i only have my long term investment in bitcoin (obviously) which needs to time
have some altcoins like LTC and GBYTE which i plan on holding so i don't spend much time on them either.

there are two ways you can deal with this:
1. invest in highly volatile and high volume coins. this is hard and the profit will be small. you invest in the top coins, even bitcoin and start day-trading. you buy low and sell high every day and make profit that way. it is hard because you need to do some analysis and know the highs and lows of every day.

2. invest in a new coin every day. this is hard but has a lot of profit in it. it is hard because you need to make a good choice. you find the coins that are getting pumped every day and get in before the pump ends and get out before it ends too. you can make a big profit but you can also lose a lot if you miss the times.

first of all if the investors were selling everything then there would have been a massive dump and price wouldn't just stay there with a little drop instead in the last 24 hours!

secondly ICOs are only used in Ethereum, other platforms don't really have any and other altcoins are not at all affected by the news.

i can't really explain why the volume of NEO is this high, but it certainly is not what you said. it probably is because it is reaching its bottom and people still believe in it. it can also be because some whales are fighting each other to pump or dump it. we wouldn't know for a while.

there is actually a couple of these compilers in C# on github. one of them actually has the same name (ETHSharp) and it has been around a lot longer (1 year and 7 months) than the link in that medium one which is only 9 days or so. and so far nobody has ever used any of them. and neither project has received much attention.

it actually proves that people like copy pasting their smart contracts more than developing something for themselves. and copy pasting is easy when there are 100000000 others in Solidity! and 0 in c#

one of the main reasons that people are using bitcoin is because it is decentralized and that is something that you can not say about any coin that a bank creates.

also last time i read some details about the projects that different banks are working on (from better sources not random news sites) it seemed to me that they are not exactly creating a currency. they are creating some sort of internal system to manage their transactions, maybe only internal or between banks.

i disagree.
the ICOs are getting out of hand. it is becoming a huge unregulated market with lots of money going in an out of it without any rules. and in this chaos there are a lot of shady business going on. it is sometimes necessary to protect people from themselves.

true, but so far they have been an easy way to abuse people's trust to make money.

and who said "entrepreneurs" need to get paid to implement their ideas?
did Satoshi Nakamoto get paid, raise money,... to create bitcoin?
did Charlie Lee get paid, raise money,... to create Litecoin?
did Linus Torvalds get paid, raise money,... to create Linux kernel that millions of users are freely using today?

no. because so far ICOs are not the best things to attract people. if things change and they become honest and people stop investing in random crap then maybe.

actually there has never been any controversy regarding China and cryptocurrency! but for some reason people love to turn anything that comes from China into one.

in reality China is doing what any other country has already done or should be doing. they are protecting their people from scams!

sometimes there aren't any answers to any "why" questions.
sometimes it is more than enough just to know IS happening instead of WHY it is happening.

and the thing here is that when bitcoin tanks, altcoins tank harder. that is enough to have in mind in order to make profit in this market.

to get pumped and dumped so that people can earn more bitcoin from trading them.

i don't think ethereum is just going to die that easily. it will take a long time for something that has very deep pockets and good pumpers behind to die off.
but it is going to be a pretty interesting couple of weeks ahead in my opinion where we can see how things will change.

if in fact new ICOs stop being created or stop succeeding in getting any funds then it will be a pretty big hit on ETH. but if nothing changes and ICO scams continue as before, then nothing will change for ETH either.

- why did price fall after Chinese public bank said they want to inspect exchanges that were working illegally and laundering money?
- why did price fall after Chinese government suspended the illegal websites called exchanges that were doing a lot of shady works!?
- why did price fall after a small percentage of miners started supporting Bitcoin Unlimited?
- why did price fall in July before the upcoming fork of bitcoin (the SegWit fork)?
- why did price fall after halving?
- why did price fall after bitfinex was hacked?
- why did price fall after Mike Hearn said bitcoin is dead?
- ...

and a lot more whys? and the answer to all of them is one thing: FUD and idiotic panic

this is how Yobit operates. they don't have much funds at their disposal to give you. specially if you are withdrawing altcoins. they usually don't even provide a wallet for them either (no deposits). and you will have no option to wait at least a week until your withdrawal is canceled and the funds come back.

if you have no prior experience then both of them are highly risky. because you wouldn't know what to do and what to choose

if you have some experience the trading becomes the least risky of all. but ICO will remain always risky because it is always going to be unpredictable territory and the crypto-sphere is filled with scams that are trying to earn some quick money from people who try investing in them.

i am a BitcoinHodler so i care about my bitcoin hodlings. that means when ETH dumps down to 0.076BTC i have sold it a long time ago when it was still high to eliminate any damage to the amount of bitcoin i am hodling.

if you want to be successful in this market you have to act fast and eliminate all the emotions you have. there is no room for "hoping" a recovery for an altcoin. if you see drop then dump it as fast as possible and if you really believe in it, then buy at the bottom. never hold for "hope" in altcoins.

i don't understand why the frowny face is for. litecoin price had gone up from $4 to $50 and if you caught it anywhere on this way up you would have been in a huge profit and it would never matter what price it went to next.

also even if you someday sold some altcoin too soon and saw the rise continue then you can invest back! there is nothing stopping you from coming back in. you just get a smaller profit lets say you catch it at $65 and sell again at $90 that is still a big enough profit.

learn to read charts and learn the signals.
what you are looking for is a pump in short term and that happens every day with a new altcoin. it is not easy to find those before they start because most of them are fake anyways and are done by pump groups. but you can always join in mid-way. just find the rise in early stages and jump in
it would be high risk though.

there is nothing bad about it as long as you can perform it successfully. that is what i usually do and as long as i am in profit by the end of the day i will be happy.

i guess it can be good for beginners who don't know what to do and what to buy. but it is good only if these beginners try to understand what they are following and not just follow it like a sheep!

of course it would be even better if the person they are following gives some tips on why he made those trades. otherwise i think "copy trading" is more harmful that it is profitable.
