lol, what would be the motive?
you are either putting up a sell wall to prevent price from going up, which means the chart will zig zag in same place and mostly down a little. or you put up a buy wall (like what ethereum whales do during massive dumps) to prevent the crash, and that also means there is a zig zag in charts in place and a little up.
you certainly won't gain anything by putting up two walls, that is just silly !

You are clearly not a trader. If you put up relatively large buy and sell orders simultaneously, you as whale, or at least as entity behind these walls, look to buy or sell coins within a certain price range. It's already mentioned by RichardsNY, but you fail to understand it. It's amazing how people here just post something without looking at the actual open buy and sell orders that are clearly visible.

well you'll never see me claim to be an expert Smiley
but here is what i have seen. market is either stable with going short range sideways or it is moving in one direction. and when you, as a whale, want to prevent it from going in certain direction you put up a wall there. mostly these walls are for show and deep which means if price is for example at $1560.00 the wall to prevent it from going down is placed at $1550-$1555 depending on the speed it goes down. and i assure you that this wall will be a lot bigger than 14.08BTC.
and even a wall like that won't prevent price from fluctuating.

this price is not normal. it is dead stable at $1560.00 and that "wall" at $1559.99 with a 4.36BTC size is easily eaten into with 1 or 2 orders.

here is an example buy wall preventing price crash. do you see the size of it (here is hint: it is 636BTC and it is placed deep not on top and certainly not on both sides):


p.s it is indeed amazing Wink

you go to the market of that altcoin (since you have litecoin you go here: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-LTC) and sell amount of that altcoin you want to the buy orders (highest bid) and then get bitcoin in return.
after that you go to any other altcoin market you want and buy that other altcoin with your BTC that you got from previous step.

i have been saying this for some time now and i do really believe that Switzerland soon will be one of the frontiers for bitcoin. but even since i saw what Japan did and then the follow up of how it was accepted, i think they come pretty close to be the "bitcoin haven" very soon.

and in the end it will all come down to adoption and how people will accept bitcoin. government is just setting the rules but bitcoin is decentralized and nobody can set any laws for it.
17764  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Strategy To Increase Fiat HODLings? on: May 07, 2017, 05:30:23 AM
It's a give fact that most of us trade Alts to increase our Bitcoin Hodlings. Having said that, I'd like to know if anyone follows a strategy to increase their fiat balance by trading it against Bitcoin.

when you make profit on your bitcoins you are in fact making more fiat too. and at double speed. because for example you buy an altcoin before its pump and then sell it on top of the pump and gain a lot more bitcoin. and bitcoin price is constantly rising in long term without exception. so if you have 1BTC before pump and have 2.5BTC after it and price goes from $1200 to $1400 you are making a lot more fiat. and you can keel 1BTC profit and have total of 2BTC in your investment and sell the 0.5BTC for $700 and increase your "fiat hodlings"!

press "Ctrl + A" on your keyboard, or go to "Wallet" from menu on top and click on "Addresses" in the drop down menu.
that will show the tab containing all your receiving addresses. (i can post a screenshot if you couldn't find it)
17766  Economy / Speculation / Re: hmm, was it bit-finex or bit-stamp with the weird price! on: May 07, 2017, 04:52:50 AM
Bitfinex: $1578
GDAX: $1575
Gemeni: $1573
itbit: $1571
Bitsquare: $1588

Bitstamp: $1519

makes you wonder what the hell have people been doing in that exchange all this time, it keeps dragging its ass on the ground like a dog with worms Grin

Well, what about this?

Bitfinex: $1,579 per coin
Bitstamp: $1,539 per coin
Coinbase: $1,578 per coin
BTC-e: 1,463 per coin

Why the BTC-e prices are $100+ less than the Coinbase rates? What prevents someone from buying coins from BTC-e, and then selling them in Coinbase?

it has always been like this. they are usually matching the price with some delays. and of course when price goes up fast they fall farther behind.
i believe it is mainly because of the way their fiat deposit/withdrawal fees work. and the fact that apart from wire transfer they mostly have online fiat wallet such as Okpay,... with extremely high fees.
17767  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price Stability on: May 07, 2017, 04:46:52 AM
It's probably just a whale keeping the price in a certain range with a large buy and sell order -- nothing really special about it. The whale in question either tries to accumulate coins within a certain range, or maybe force people to buy his coins within a certain range. For those that say the exchange was down -- look at the volumes. If the exchange is down, no one can trade, and thus there is no volume.

lol, what would be the motive?

~ (Like that day when the price goes insanely high and keep going til now). Then 2 days ago some of my friends suddenly asked me about what Bitcoin is & how could the price goes up like that.~

bad bad bad, terrible thing.
you are just bringing in more speculators, more people to just invest in, more people who are going to think bitcoin is a "get rich quick scheme" where they can just buy some now at lets say $1550 and wait a couple of weeks to become millionaires while price goes to $10000.
and i am speaking from experience.
when you show price to new people and only talk about rise and how we are going "to the moon" they will expect that from bitcoin. and believe me that they will want their money back from you when price goes down from $1550 to $1549 and stays there for a week.

p.s. try telling them about bitcoin as a currency first, and profit/price second.

- stay away from ICO, in 99% of the times they are going to either scam you or their price will drop hard as soon as it hits the market.
- if someone told you to buy some altcoin then you most probably shouldn't do it because most people around here will tell you to buy what they have already bought and can not sell because price has dropped.
- learn more about what pump and dump is, you will see it all over altcoin market.
17771  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Any accounts of bitcoin in Japan? on: May 06, 2017, 04:36:31 AM
the price in Japan is tallest,you can ask your friend in japan to move BTC

care to translate this for us? what is a "tall price"

from what i can see price in Japanese exchanges are all around $1550 to $1570 (~177,500 JPY ) which is nearly the same as price in USD markets such as coinbase and bitstamp.
17772  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How can i delete an unconfirmed transaction in my Electrum wallet on: May 06, 2017, 04:13:35 AM
the problem is that the node you are connected to has your transaction, and Electrum being an SPV client only relies on those nodes you connect to. and unfortunately if your transaction is not an opt-in RBF i'm afraid there aren't any easy ways of doing what you want to do.
try connecting to another node from your network settings and restart Electrum, and see how that works.

i've had this problem but what i did was making a new transaction and just sign it with electrum but that is a bit advanced and complicated.
17773  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price Stability on: May 06, 2017, 03:56:33 AM
this looks more like a bug to me! is it possible that your socket connection was disconnected while you had this page open and did you try refreshing the page?

it would have been possible if the volume was lower but the volume bars at the bottom show the same volume as 7:10-7:20 so there should be a somewhat similar fluctuation too.
17774  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Price spread between Coinbase and Bitfinex is closing (as of this instant) on: May 06, 2017, 03:50:24 AM
Price at Bitfinex has dropped below $1600 and get closer to Bitstamp price. Does that mean Bitfinex users might soon be able to withdraw their fiat to their bank account?

it may be because of some good news about them getting an auditor that price came back down to normal levels as people are less willing to buy bitcoin at premium prices to withdraw.
it may also be because of the fact that most people who wanted to get the hell out of there, have already done that. and those who remained there aren't going to buy bitcoin at $1700-$1600+ so price came down to normal levels.
the volume is still up though.
17775  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin transaction completion /confirmation on: May 06, 2017, 03:34:20 AM
getting a place inside a block (getting your transaction confirmed) has turned into a competition of who pays more and when the spam attack becomes stronger this competition becomes harder and harder. the only thing that we can do at this point is either paying a higher fee or waiting till the spam attack stops.

17777  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are Miners or others stealing our bitcoin? on: May 05, 2017, 05:20:31 AM
I woke up and the transactions are still unconfirmed. I hope they don't do the same thing and reject these and they both disappear again. I really want this issue resolved. It's horrible that we can't cancel a transaction. I hope BTC sorts out it's scaling problem or I will try to move to using another digital currency.

they will be rejected (most probably) in about 60 hours because your transaction as they already told you is spending an unconfirmed output which has an extremely low fee of 20 satoshi/byte and your transaction doesn't have enough fee to even be considered a CPFP transaction.

and actually it is a good thing that you CAN NOT CANCEL a transaction (easily). otherwise double spending would have been super easy and that opens up way for a lot of fraud. or at the very least newbies unknowingly double spending and messing things up.

and feel free to go and try other cryptocurrencies too. there are always going to be rules to follow and advantages and disadvantages of using any system.

and did you even contact Quickseller and ask for help? he can push your transaction directly to F2Pool and you may need to pay the fee to F2Pool only.
17778  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin crash coming? on: May 05, 2017, 05:07:45 AM
I'm looking at the charts, and BTC is rising at the same speed, or even faster than previous ATH's. Does this mean a crash could happen within the next few days? I'm not saying it'll drop back to around the 700's, but I wouldn't be surprised if it dropped back to 1200, 1300. What do you think?

No, we got a long way to go before this bubble pops. starts forming up



FTFY.

to OP, you seriously need to change your terminology then.
price going up is not a bubble.
price coming down is not a crash.

price going up A LOT in a short time is a bubble.
and price dropping A LOT to way below resistance is a crash.

we are seeing a big rise (not a lot) in a rather short time but it is not yet bubble territory. and price will come down because of how thin orderbooks always are in exchanges and how easily weak hands are manipulated into panic selling.

drop to $1200 -$1300? maybe, maybe not. we have to see.
17779  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Req help with stuck BTC transaction - have tried everything I could, no change on: May 05, 2017, 04:40:52 AM
satoshi is the smallest unit of bitcoin and is equal to 1e-8 or 0.00000001BTC
the thing about Child Pays for Parent that you need to know is that it is not a guarantee that miners notice it, they have to have implemented this feature to recognize these transactions. otherwise they just see a transaction spending an unconfirmed output and ignore it.

also i don't see you doing a CPFP thing, the transaction you posted (01404f...) is not yet spent. and current fees are 220 s/b

Whether the cause of bitcoin can survive until now can even penetrate the price of 1600USD, after the terunt hardfork issue yesterday, bitcoin community trust instead of down even increased

What is your response?

my response is telling you to go here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php#5 and post in a language that you speak because English is not it.
you can also ask someone there to help you translate your question into fluent English so everyone else can easily understand what you are talking about.
