the circuit breaker is such a no-go. let the markets fall deep if people are in a panic selling mood. good to see that they removed this security option. let the market find out if the chinese stock exchange goes down just 1% or very deep 10%. freedom.....

bitcoin is definitely having a great start. all other things as stocks and oil are going down heavily while we as bitcoin community can't stop smiling while seeing the price go up. i am sure it will draw the attention of the media very soon.

bitcoin is definitely not overhyped. it might have been overhyped a bit back in 2013 when we have seen the price go over $1100. but as you probably already have seen, it was dumped down due to a combination with bad news.

bitcoin volatility as it is now won't change the comming years. it's definitely not a good choice to go all in in one investment option. it doesn't matter if it's stable or not. best is to have around 25% of your total money into investments, and the other 75% just in fiat. that's how you don't expose yourself too much to risks and such.

it could be that people want the freshly mined coins to maintain their privacy. but this can also be achieved by simply mixing the "not fresh" coins.

more in the range of $1000. it will be a great achievement if we can hold a price of at least $1000 the comming years. it's difficult, but not impossible.

bitcoin has a bright future whether the price drops back to $300 or climbs to $600. that doesn't matter. all current prices are nothing to the eventual price. keep that in mind.

if there was a bug or backdoor somewhere in the bitcoin code, then it would have been found and executed already. it's solid and will stay solid for plenty of more years.

i am very pleased with the price remaining fairly stable in the last days. i also can't see the price go much lower. i hope to see a slow growth to the $500 level. that would be nice.

for sure. the only downside from the media is that it will also bring in yolo investors that will sell their coins directly once the bitcoin price doesn't go up as much as they were hoping for. we have also seen this when bitcoin reached $1000 in 2013. these kind of "investors" are very impulsive and can't handle dumps. they sell instantly when the price goes down.

the situation right now is way more different than the first halving. currently there is much more money involved, more users, more holders, rich investors are finding their way to bitcoin, we have mega mining farms right now, demand from china. all this is reason enough to make the comming block halving way more different. and when the media is airing bitcoin news, then it can be considered an extra push.

the price can definitely go down, but it won't be close to $330. at this point the lowest it may go down is $400 as that level is widely supported. we have seen the price come close to $400 before, but it didn't go below it. that says something.

what on earth makes you need 100,000 btc at $1000 to retire? 100,000 coins at current price is already worth $43,000,000.

why are hardware wallets the best choice? i save all my wallet files on usb sticks for a very long time and it works very well. most of the people have several usb sticks lying around somewhere. it won't cost you anything if you have them. hardware wallets are quite expensive if you ask me.

speculation and the media will play a big role in the before halving price. if there is enough speculation that it will possibly break through $2000, then we will hit $1000 easily. for that to happen we need the media to cover bitcoin just like they did the previous time when bitcoin reached $1000.

yes, and just like the predictions of kwukduckie, all movies are fiction. he is desperately trying to make people panic by making bitcoin look bad. it's pathetic.

it will for sure double in value, but the question is, from what price will it double. this question has been asked quite frequently when the price was still below $250. if the price will double from $300, then we will see $600, which might seem low for some people. if it starts to double from $400, then $800 will be our price. it's something we don't know. only time will tell.

and once again one of your predictions turn out to be wrong. you are either trolling or just don't know what you are talking about. the price is going up instead of down...

if you as trader knows what to do, then you will definitely increase the amount of coins you have. if you don't know what to do, and just buy at highs and sell at a loss, then yes, you will make a huge loss.

the sentiment is too good to let it go down. i think we will try to reach $450 again the comming days. $300 is not of importance anymore. $500 is what we are look out for. people that haven't bought yet should do it now instead of waiting for a lower price.
