Does anyone think this is a good idea? I guess now that Bitcoin Cash is integrating Segwit (native Segwit address and signature scheme, with plans to implement a near-identical malleability fix), and Segwit2x is providing 8MB blocks, they need something to differentiate their network from the other 2 Bitcoin forks. Is that what this is about? I sort of wish the Segwit2x fork would be called off, so that the market could decide between BTC and BCH. Glad to see Alste is back..... I guess that means this rally still has some steam left.  It is a fantastic idea, but a terrible headline. What was announced was a test network that will slowly grow blocksize up to 1GB to help identify scaling bottlenecks. The BCH blockchain will be unaffected. |

Everyone is so sure of themselves. Looking at the 15 minute charts, I see a trap. In fact, I sold some at $3950. Lower highs, lower lows. Decreasing volume on up moves; increasing volume on down moves. If we are going up, why is the herd following the sellers? I'm prepared to be wrong, are you?

https://insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/article/economic-impact-of-immigration-in-the-usOver the long haul, they discovered, the presence of immigrants significantly benefits the economy. Areas with more historical immigration now have higher incomes, lower poverty and unemployment, and greater levels of educational attainment and urbanization.
The magnitude of the results was striking: if a county that experienced no immigration during this period had instead experienced median levels of immigration, residents today would have a 20 percent higher per capita income.
A study from the Kellogg School? Heh, they could be just a little biased   "Kellogg offers full-time, part-time, and executive programs, and partners with schools in China, France/Singapore, India, Spain, Hong Kong, Israel, Germany, Canada, and Thailand. In addition to the Kellogg School campuses in Evanston, Chicago, and Miami, the Kellogg School partners with institutions in Asia, Europe, South America, Australia, the Middle East and Canada.
Kellogg students have the opportunity to study abroad in fall or winter of their second year on six continents. The exchange partner schools offer the opportunity to learn about business from a different perspective, experience another culture, and network with students, faculty, and professionals from around the world. The International Exchange Program at the Kellogg School was started in 1980 with a vision to promote a cultural interchange of ideas and provide a greater understanding of cross-cultural trade and business practices. Since that time, more than 1,000 Kellogg School students have participated in the Exchange Program with schools from over 20 countries, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Thailand, and U.K."So I can't trust any college that has an exchange student program?  Still waiting for a citation for Ibian's claim that immigrants turned out to be a net drain on the economy |

The push by govt organizations for more immigrants literally everywhere in the world is pretty simple.
Existing citizens are working less (and paying less taxes), and thus having less babies. And that long term trajectory doesn't sit well with the welfare states of the world that are getting deeper and deeper into debt.
Simply put, they desperately need more tax payers coming into the system to not only replace the ones dying off, but to breed new ones. Thus opening up the borders.
Remember, the welfare state is one giant Ponzi scam, that requires ever more scam suckers coming in. When that stops, the whole thing collapses.
The problem of course being that the immigrants turned out to be a net drain on the economy [citation needed], not even counting all the social problems and increases in violent crime and rape. But they always double down on bad ideas. Over the long haul, they discovered, the presence of immigrants significantly benefits the economy. Areas with more historical immigration now have higher incomes, lower poverty and unemployment, and greater levels of educational attainment and urbanization.
The magnitude of the results was striking: if a county that experienced no immigration during this period had instead experienced median levels of immigration, residents today would have a 20 percent higher per capita income.

Milo is fabulous. He also thinks gay kid diddling is a good thing. Never liked him and he lost a lot of support over that. No arguing with you there. Not going to defend what Milo said in that particular instance. I will admit he lost a lot of support from me as well. Normalizing paedophilia is never a good thing. Isn't the whole "USA should only be a nation of straight white people" thing kinda counter to your...existence? Majority white, not purely white. At least that's my position. Immigration is not a bad thing as long as it is very limited in numbers and quality of the immigrants. Morgan Freeman is an excellent person in my estimation, but there are not a lot of Morgan Freemen. The white drug addicts and welfare queens that infest rural america are terrible people in my estimation, and there are a lot of them. Race has nothing to do with the quality of a person. |

New ATH - 28th December 2017. Reason purely because it'll take that long due to recovery from China's bullshit. I think if China hadn't messed us around we would have seen a new ATH earlier.
New ATH gotta be 10/31/2017
Taken. I'll go with 10/30/2017 That is also taken. The latest list is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg21895843#msg21895843 |

You would think after almost three years of being involved in the cryptocurrency sphere, that I would know how to trade. But I still am quite clueless. I thought I did well yesterday. I managed to put of few trades together, where I sold higher and then would buy back lower. I didn't catch the absolute crests and troughs, but I did OK with the little bit that I was moving around. I then bought back last night, and left it at that, so I could sleep well at night with a few more satoshis than I had 24 hours ago. This morning, just before work, I saw the market shoot up from a low of almost 2800 USD to a little above $3300. I thought, surely this must be near the peak, so I sold a little bit of my BTC. Now it appears the rally has continued and I find myself stuck with a fiat balance on Gdax. I know that it is recommended not to seek trading advise in this space. However, I really am clueless what to do. Any recommendations? Here are my options. 1) Keep the fiat balance on GDAX, so that I can continue to play around with the market at my leisure, and have both a BTC balance and a fiat balance. 2) Transfer fiat to Paypal and pay off the credit card balance that I have for them. (Coinbase charges a big fee to do this though, and I could probably pay off my balance outright with fiat I already have in the bank anyway.) 3) Buy back your BTC, use this as perfect example that I suck at trading and transfer all my BTC back to cold storage so I can HODL. Thanks in advance for the advice. Read this and learn to read volume: https://robertbrain.com/BullChartsUserGroup/presentations/201604_Kaz_Wyckoff_Anatomy+of+a+Trading+Range.pdfLook at a few global exchanges to get a clearer picture of global volume. I won't give specific advice, but I will say I'm hodling long term and currently have a small leveraged long position. I will likely sell that soon since I am very conservative with my trading funds. |

I don't know Why but i Just want to make same ATH guess like last time
Rules ....: the one with the right date of ATH gets .25 btc paid directly (UTC time) (closest to ATH.....)
I look to Every page in here from now When a date is picked first iT cannot been taken again ( 1st =1st)
Another .25 btc is rewarded for ho makes best of technical analyse of the time When we strike ATH.... and Why iT happens at that time.....
So This .25 also only to been payed 1 time .... and not 2 times te same explanation.... (1st =1st)
Both answers to win must been inside before 20-09-2017
Goodluck to the ones that like This
UPDATE listmaking notice a * is when the person put good enough explanation for other .25 BTC (person with no * only play ATH or have to put little better )

October 30th. It's my birthday, we've retested support and have bounced on good volume. This is just a correction. |

I keep thinking that some whale is going to take their GBTC profits any day now... I sure hope so... I never got back on the train after I sold at $540. Oh well, straight BTC has done well for me. It just would have been nice to collect some more tax-sheltered gains in my Roth IRA. Same. The window might be opening again soon. Down to $520 today. |

Had to sell a bit to cover Q3 taxes and equipment. I hate selling on a dip, drat....
A sign of being overly invested.. in other words, you do not have your expenses projected out on a long enough timeline in order to provide you a large enough float.. whether that float needs to be $1k or $10k or $20k is something for you to determine ( but seems like you don't quite have it down, yet). I tend to project my expenses out a minimum of 6 months and frequently into the 18months or more timeline... so a lillie dip like this (and only for about 2 weeks) has not been going on long enough to cause anything close to cash flow pressures - Sure, if it goes on for 6 months or it goes down another 50%, then that could be another story for me, and I would want to start adjusting now for what could happen 6 months from now so I am not selling at the bottom, if that were the case. Incorrect. I run a business here, one that needs to pay for itself first. If I were to pay for things using pocket money then I would be essentially investing that in bitcoin, which is not my intent. Therefore when I have to buy supplies I batch withdraw some bitcoin and note it in the ledger. Same with taxes and such. Besides this little dip is in the middle of the most amazing run ever. I don't try to time the market, I let the chips fall where they may. That's crazy, you should do it the JJG way. Project your expenses 6 months from now and then sell at the top so you don't have to sell during a "lillie dip". How hard is that? If you don't have perfect market timing then you must be "overly invested". Or just put him on ignore. He is the first and only person I've ever ignored and it is blissful. So arrogant and loves to see himself type. |

I shorted at 4600, after the ATH.
I bet on staying sideways until this whole China drama settle. If it goes over 5k in this time frame, then market is still definitely bullish.
But you know, I see a lot of posts here "we reached the bottom, it's going back up, etc..." since we reached ATH. So far, I don't see any strong market movement supporting theses allegations...
Yep. Me too. I've mostly bought back in around 4200, but I'm still a little short. |

What timescale do you look for crossover on?
He's using daily closing price. |

He has a new post and chart.
Who has? OP, aka MasterLuc, aka Lucifer, aka Bitcoin Vanga, aka PentarhUdi |

OK, it's getting depressive taking a bullish aspect. So now I am going to switch to bearish, again. So were can I participate in margin shorting BTC vs fiat, as an American? I would prefer an easy verification process.
You'll be in time to short the bottom. You know somebody's gotta do it. Good on ya Well, I'm still trying to research which exchange I can participate, as a US citizen, in Margin trading for BTC-USD pair. Kraken seems possible. But I'm so ambivalent, I'm not sure that I want to take the steps to register for yet another exchange. My Keepass is getting to full.  Having a Myers-Brigg personality type of INTP can be so exasperating at times. It's a wonder that I can arrive at any decision. GDAX (coinbase) has margin trading. I hardly am anywhere close to being considered an Eligible Contract Participant. Not by a long shot. Not an option for this minnow. Oh damn, I didn't realize that requirement. Yeah, that's crazy. |

meh. not like it worked, judging by the price. Yeah, it seems like a lot of work for a 12% dip. |

Are there any graphs out there displaying the premium history over BTC?
If I was invested in this I'm not sure whether I'd feel euphoric or whether I'd be shitting myself. It just goes to show the appetite for investment vehicles.
Not premium per-se, but their site has a graph with price/share and net asset value/share: https://grayscale.co/bitcoin-investment-trust/#market-performance$1005/share, $432 NAV/share currently. Crazy. |

Volatility will be a fact of the BTC life until it finds a fair value. At current prices, there are literally millions of people that can move the markets 10% with a tiny fraction of their net worth.

We need a proof of work change. How low do you think that will drop us?
Something less drastic could also work. Something that wouldn't fck up the "good guys" as much. I'm thinking along the lines of a coinbase penalty depending on mempool size - or something proportional to the average fee of transactions left in the mempool. The main problem I see with such a fix is that it would require a fork. Would a soft fork do? I doubt it, mainly because of the problems with non-upgraded clients. Won't we have to hard fork for replay protection anyway? (Total noob question.) Such a coinbase penalty would be messing with the inflation schedule. Also, the mempool is not consistent across nodes. A freshly broadcast transaction may not be visible to everyone. So, we would need mempool commitments. Something like a blockchain could work for that . |
