I don't see this happening until we have the lightning network. By then it will more viable. Any guy with a SMS phone will be able to be a bank and send instant transactions for really cheap price.

Yeah if you consider gambling as an activity that it's wrong you are probably a nutjob that needs to be put in a straight jacket and locked in a mental institution. Sorry but that is how it goes when people in 2016 still think that making stuff prohibited by the state is going to improve people's life.

The best bet right now is buying ETC. I don't see any other option that can justify a decent risk reward. Betting on small coins with small marketcaps can be a suicidal thing to do, you can get caught in a really shitty order book and end up not being able to sell. ETC is the king of volume so healthy pumps are guaranteed.

Now that he Ethereum Foundation has been caught trying to dump ETC in Poloniex and Poloniex has told them to fuck off and frozen their funds, it's going to be fun seeing ETC skyrocket as ETH collapses. ETH is a rotten project, only ETC can make Ethereum shine again.

Im probably going to buy some shares on the initial share offer.. just incase. If this turns out to be true, we are talking millions of dollars of potential investing flocking in. I just doubt Kim Dotcom suddenly is smarter than Gmaxwell and all those guys that have been thinking about how to properly scale bitcoin the right way for years, but you never know, he could have hired an excellent team that has been working secretly. We'll see.

Using your phone to store bitcoin was always a major mistake. You should never carry anything more than pocket change in your phone, literally a couple dollars in bitcoin just like you carry only a couple dollars in your pocket (unless you are a baller...)

I have thought since day one that this is the scammer sending bitcoins to himself to try to remove incrimination off himself, then he will run the stuff through mixers and try to get the trace removed.

A good way to gamble is by investing on ICOs... you never know when an ICO ends up being a success and you get tons of coins for a really cheap price, and then it turns out getting pumped hard like Ethereum, Lisk, Maidsafe etc.

It was a really close fight. I think if Chad Mendes had a better reach he could have won this fight, he is one of the greatest guys at taking people down on the entire UFC, but at 5'6'' its not easy to stand up against a guy with great hands like Connor.

I would hold long term, and have 10% taken out and put them in an exchange to play with. Of course wall know what happens when you have your money in exchanges, but how are you going to profit from fast pumps then? You gotta risk to win more.

Coinbase seems like a very professional company, but they are way too conservative and annoying with Bitcoin, more and more people is getting transactions cancelled because they need to give details about it. Also its hard to support someone like Brian Armstrong which has been wrong so man times.

David Seaman is a paid shill that will say whatever in exchange of money. It's funny how every single thing David Seaman has said has turned out to be the opposite. He was pro Bitcoin Classic and it was a failure. He was advocating a HF for Ethereum saying how there was no risk of 2 coins existing as a result and exactly that happened. He has also pumped other coins like Dash with exaggerated promises.
Quoting David Seaman to prove a point is laughable.

Its amazing how a coin that hasn't had any news for months gets pumped out of fucking nowhere. Just holding 0.1 would give you several BTCs... Anyone knows the backstory? This has to be the work of a whale group, people wouldn't start buying for no reason. https://twitter.com/fibrecoinAs you can see, 8+ months without tweets...

Is this the same coin that went up like 600%? Can someone explain me how a coin that seems to be half abandoned since I have not seen news for months, gets pumped this hard? This is nuts. Long term holders must be feeling like lottery winners.

Chad is 5'6'', the problem with Nate Diaz is I think the tallest opponent that Conor has ever fought and if a fighter is a lot taller than you and skilled, its a big advantage, the reach is so key in fight its not even fair but that's life.

the price is 50 shatoshi Well damn thats even lower than Dogecoin. Unfortunately all those ICOs are is just scams, except rarely when the project is actually serious long term like Ethereum. And even Ethereum fucked up way too much already with the hard fork and so on. It has been proven that BTC is the only serious coin.

Hi everyone. How you all been? I hope you're trading successfully and your pocket's full of money. I've been in bitcoin and altcoin trading market for near a year, and I've read some useful tips here and there. I feel like it's time for me to start studying more advanced sources like good e-books or internet articles, etc...; that help me understand the market and altcoin trading strategies better. I'm specially interested in: - Learning how can someone read the market and predict the price changes. Specially, finding a good exit point is important! You see guys, many people would have predicted ethereum's price increase a year ago, but even if I was one of those lucky people I would have sold my ETH when it became 2-3 USDs, so I would have missed its 50x price pump much sooner than it happened, and it's the same thing with any other coin, which makes big profit impossible. It bothers me a lot! - With lower priority, I want to become good in swing trading and gaining profit of a fast huge pump, like with ETC a few days ago. Like, how can we detect if the price pumps further, or if it's about to dump and it's time to sell and get out. - Any other good reads that you can suggest, I don't care if it's about trading in general (like forex) or it's about technical analysis. If it's good and helps improve alt trading skills I'll read it, and doesn't matter if it's a large book. I'm a bookworm. You see, I have good friends who suggest me good trades and all, but I guess when it's your own analysis and hard work that made you do a good trade, then you will enjoy it a lot more, don't you? Thanks in advance. I like to think of myself as a pretty successful trader. Never made huge money but I made huge %s.. I don't think any kind of chart analysis applies to crypto trading. Maybe pay attention to double tops and corrections in uptrends, and corrections in downtrends.. But I'm talking you are currently watching the 1 minute chart and see it happen real time on the books.. Forget about any news or promises/roadmaps etc.. You want to stare at the charts looking for momentum.. Momentum and hype drive prices, nothing else matters. People panic buy and panic sell.. Stare at the charts/books to see the momentum, stare at the trollbox for the hype/fud.. The trollbox is an extremely useful tool, all tips and info comes from the trollbox. Everything you need.. But in the trollbox its not about what they say, its about their motives for why they are saying what they are saying.. You have to figure out what they are thinking and focus on WHY they want you to think what they are saying is true. What are they doing that makes them want you to believe what they say? Nobody is going to tell you to buy before they buy, nobody is going to tell you to dump before they dump.. They may be honest while their locked into a position and waiting, maybe not, but when they want you to buy it's because they want it to raise before they sell or they want you to buy so they can sell and vise versa.. VERY very useful.. "If I had any more BTC I'd buy into that wall before its gone" MEANS "My sell order is just under that resistance and I want you to buy it" "It's dumping, it's going to go through that 4k sat buywall" MEANS "I have a buy just above that 4k sat support trying to catch the falling knife" Stare at them books untill you get an instinct for that momentum.. 40 hours a week staring at those books. learn to feel how that support comes in and moves a market or how to get your buys in the right spot to catch that falling knife for a dead cat bounce.. Good luck.. Not even looking at a chart for trends will help. You may think that after a big fall, something starts going up, and you say "okay, time to buy", but then you find out that right when you buy, it continues going down and you just bought at a small bump in a road that's going down and it's rocky. Basically there's no way to predict the market unless you have insider information. There are fake huge walls all the time that appear and disappear, single decisions by devs can move entire markets etc.. too much chaos.

I don't think it's very likely I will meet someone who actively uses Bitcoin but I think that most people understand what it is and have heard of it before. Most people I think don't have a reason to change, they are happy using normal currency so Bitcoin is of no use to them.
Very True.. However, adoption has been steadily increasing over the years. Like others have stated the majority of the reason for the slow adoption is the ease of use. It is quite difficult to someone without technical experience. I would say its impossible to find someone in real life that uses bitcoin, that is not a mega geek like everyone in here is. If you are not into computers and stuff, you probably don't even know what Bitcoin is. With Steam a lot of people has learned but they are still gamers. Hopefully Kim Dotcom is not lying and will deliver something good for mainstream soon.

In the future Bitcoin will be the currency that everyone uses in our galaxy, since in other galaxies there's probably intelligent life too and they will invent other type of Bitcoin with a different blockchain. We will have wireless interplanetary connection and we will share the same blockchain.
