let me just add this little thing in the middle:


if "A" was one of the whales like Vitalik, then A orders another fork (roll back) to recover his funds and everything is back to normal for A.
then price of ETH starts falling hard, whales put up gigantic buy walls like before to prevent the crash after a month of people dumping and whales putting up walls we see 3 chains ETH, ETC, ETX


ETH comes down but doesn't crash because of walls!
ETX rises because it has a lot of demand from angry users seeing another dictatorship fork and whales start dumping their ETX and making money to put more walls on ETH

nah, i don't think so. bitcoin is not big enough to do such a thing. you are looking at a small picture, instead you should start zooming out, compare bitcoin with other things in the world that are similar and you will see. financially it is too small in my opinion.

ever since Google AdSense blocked their account and no longer allowed them to use their advertising network, they have been trying way too hard to bring in more people and make money in other ways. from the lottery to rewards and all that weird stuff.

with this, they are officially desperate for money, if you want my opinion. although kudos to them for being the oldest faucet which is still big and around.

i just hope they don't scam people and run away!

we are all hoping that simply because we want to dump it fast and at higher prices to get our money out before it is too late. but because of this and also because of the fact that whales want to take their money out, we will never see big prices. not even higher than $50! the whales are already cashing out and even if there is another wave of pumps it will go up to 0.03 which is only high price ($37) because bitcoin is worth a lot more.

what do you mean trading bots! is it something like the terminator and computers rising

it is all pump and dumps around here in these parts and they are all using the same old bitcoin is dead techniques these days to pump their coin.
give it a couple of weeks and come back to see all this hot air vanished and these coins back to normal dying downward spirals...

yes you can, go and take a job and work a little bit and you can make that much in 2 weeks up to 1 month depending on what kind of job to start! and that is for very low paying job!!!

but since you are posting this in trading discussion, i assume you mean trading job. and yes you can make that much but you need something, you can not do it with 0!
with your $20 you need a 400% profit which is a little bit hard but not impossible although you need to have been traded before. if you are a beginner then forget that target and start with smaller targets such as 5% profit.

i am a bitcoin hodler and i believe in the future of bitcoin but i can not yet agree that bitcoin can reach 1 million dollar.
obviously price is rising and will continue to rise for many years to come because of the adoption and how the supply is limited and all that we alrady know very well enough. but to reach 1 million dollar it needs lots of adoption and that requires a lot of improvement and a lot of time which i don't think is going to be in my lifetime

i can see how such services can be useful in some rare cases but it is pretty messed up to ask for something like this while you are earning pretty high amounts of money from the block reward you are already mining and with the bitcoin price at current levels you are already making a very huge amount of profit from 12.5BTC reward.

and all the while ViaBTC is doing the same thing for free!

it is pretty funny because price is already back above $1200 now

to be honest i was expecting another boring state when price stays low and everyone yawns in the speculation board but it seems like the market has been very ready for this rise and the demand (specially with all the money they got in the last rally) is buying bitcoin up again towards $1300 once again.

not all investment remain always good. bitcoin will stop being the same profitable as today in a couple of years too. that means today you can get in to get 200% profit each year but this can not go on forever. in 5 years or more price will rise to a point where it will slow down and no longer goes up like this.

the better example would be investing in altcoins. there is always a good time to get in and get out of them and if you miss the get in part there is no point investing in them anymore.

when these coins are rising and price is already high and then you see everyone is talking about them you should know that it is already too late to get in and you are buying into the pump if you buy at that time. and you certainly don't buy it "cheap"!

but that never means you can not make profit from this market. there is still room for rise or even there is fluctuation that you can take advantage of and make some small but very fast profit.

the only coins that are not listed in anywhere are either too bad coins which were scam, virus, or any other bad reason and these lists removed them to protect users. or they were dead coins with no longer active blockchain.
this group are obviously all bad coins.

also there are very new coins that are not yet released, so these sites like coinmarketcap don't list them. again saying anything about if they are good or bad is too soon!

also remember that when opening the home page you only see a limited number of coins you have to go to the next page to see the rest of them!

this is one of the many benefits of a decentralized system like bitcoin. when we say decentralized it doesn't only mean there is no bank but also it is the fact that nobody can tell you how to use it.

although China has never said anything about wanting to ban bitcoin though. so saying the firewall of China couldn't do it is not really relevant here.

yeah but at the same time there are many other countries that have people using bitcoin in them but the government has not yet made a clear stance towards bitcoin, i have heard many things about bitcoin laws in here but nothing is set in stone yet.

both of them can be profitable depending on which altcoin you are talking about and when.
for example a couple of days ago when Dash and Ethereum were being pumped it was a very good time for day-trading these coins to buy low and sell high in each dip and rise.
also further back when they were still low and not in a bubble it was a good time to buy for long term and sell after the pump.

admittedly i didn't really follow ETF that much but i remember reading somewhere (in comments) that this was the last chance of this particular ETF to be approved and they won't accept it again.

can someone confirms this?

well this is wrong, or at the very least you are just making a guess.
because all we have seen so far are either random brand new (throwaway) accounts created to say things like this or known shills saying "..switch to altcoins to..."

i completely agree with this.
if you want to buy something or pay for a service with bitcoin, they barely accept bitcoin, let alone any of the altcoin so it is literary impossible to use altcoins instead of bitcoin.
and if you want to transfer money, then you will end up paying more fees:
1. deposit fee of money to exchange
2. exchange fee (0.15% to 0.2%) from fiat to bitcoin
3. transaction fee of transferring bitcoin from bitcoin exchange (eg coinbase) to altcoin exchange (poloniex)
4. exchange fee (0.15% to 0.2%) from bitcoin to altcoin
5. transaction of altcoin network to transfer to other person.
{waiting a lot longer for a lot more confirmation since altcoin networks are not trusted and they have lots of orphans)
6. the other person exchange fee (0.15% to 0.2%) from altcoin to bitcoin
7. transaction fee of transferring bitcoin from altcoin exchange (poloniex) to bitcoin exchange (eg coinbase)
8. exchange fee (0.15% to 0.2%) from bitcoin to fiat
9. huge bank fee for cashing out fiat to your bank.

the news about Japan has been the biggest news so far if you ask me, because all these other small companies (Microsoft ) are just companies but Japan has just accepted bitcoin as a real "currency" and they are doing it as a country which means the way is open for the whole country and a whole lot of businesses and companies to start accepting and working with bitcoin.

i don't see any point it that, and it actually is a privacy concern for me to do that so i will never do it if i see the option somewhere. but also you may be able to easily advertise your affiliate link from that casino on social media. imagine posting your winning roll directly from the casino on facebook and the link is your ref link. that way your friends can easily be your referral too.

even with my eyes closed i can tell you it has no effect! and why should it, blockchain.info is a bad web wallet with lots of outages and bugs they don't seem to be fixing.
it was about a week or two ago when they were reporting bitcoin price to be zero! and the chart in their front page showed a nice little chart of bitcoin price taking a dive to oblivion it was a funny day.
