XRP threatening Bitcoin? It's one of the strangest things I've seen today. Who is even buying XRP over Bitcoin these days? Probably people who think that if they can't afford 1, there's no reason to buy any, but hey, they can afford more than 1 XRP... I doubt that Bitcoin and XRP even have the same people buying and holding.

I strongly believe that we'll continue towards 20k so I chose this option, even though I'm unsure if it will happen by the end of the year. There's just too many things at play here to make a prediction for the next 4 weeks, especially with the holidays coming where people will probably want to spend some money, not save up. It may look like nothing, but the price fell right before black friday this week.

I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with a nice lady (Jennifer) on PayPal's phone and went through our transaction history/activity, tons of explanations of crypto terms (since she didn't know PayPal even has crypto) and I basically begged for the account back, but still no luck because apparently you cannot appeal a final reviewed decision.
She genuinely wanted to help me and I believe she understood how crazy this ban was because I didn't sell items to anyone except PayPal (PayPal shows as the buyer and seller when you purchase from 'PayPal Crypto'). She finally understood it was a daytrading like thing and even after that there's no appeal option (she tried) and its final. This part is the most disturbing IMO. They have a support office where a group of people sits and answers tickets, right? When one person makes a decision, you can't appeal to a supervisor. Even when the decision is questioned by another employee on the same level, they can't do anything. That's crazy if you ask me. In big companies you have multiple supervisors within a group. There's a junior support, senior support, a manager and a ticket can be escalated. |

How are they going to prove that someone owns a private wallet, even if they used coinbase at some point in time? You had money coming from a wallet to coinbase? Someone you don't know was sending you money for some job done online. You had money going from coinbase to an address? That's not your address, you were sending coins to someone that you don't know, but that person did some work for you, or had a birthday coming, or whatever. Whoever discloses all their addresses to the government just because they say so is a moron.

There are more than a few. For instance, I find taking part in a discussion and sharing my opinion relaxing and fulfilling. You can learn something, you can get help with some issues, you can earn money, even get a job here. Some people will find one thing the most important while others will be interested in something else. For example, I don't mine, so threads about mining are not something that I'll find helpful.

They had years to do something and they failed. There's really no point in trying to damage something that isn't trying to damage you, especially when you're leaving the office.
Trump is saying bye bye to the White House and he's busy protesting and saying that the election was a fraud. Bitcoin is not even a blip on his radar.

It's pretty much the same conclusion they reached when they saw that there's man named Dorian Nakamoto and that he's old enough to be the founder. I'm a supporter of the theory that real Satoshi died, most likely in a tragic accident. That's why he never came back to share his opinions on how the cryptocurrency is evolving. There were many ways he could do it, like a vpn + encrypted communicator using a public wifi, but he didn't. I'd leave this hunt, it's not doing us any good and not leading anywhere. |

So you're all arguing whether bitcoin will die or not because this dude tried to send 0.3 USD through blockchain? What's the point of such transaction, what would you even buy with that? A cup of coffee or even a pack of chewing gum is more expensive. You even pay more than that for taking a piss in a public bathroom.

It is anonymous as long as no personal details of yours appear in any of the transactions. This means that if you got coins for free from a friend or a member of family, or earned them in a signature campaign, they are anonymous. If you then go to a service that requires KYC and spend them there, they stop being anonymous, but if you exchange them with someone for something (barter) they will remain anonymous.
I can not agree to this, so far the coins can be tracked on blockchain, it is not anonymou. That is why bitcoin transactions are called pseudonymous because it is possible for the transactions to be known but not linked to the owner until it is linked with kyc, that is why bitcoin is called a privacy coin. There are some anonymou coins like monero, zcash and dash which transactions can not be seen on blockchain. Tracked to what? A random address that is not connected to your identity in any way? A bitcoin transaction can be just as anonymous as cash transaction. You can argue that cash also leaves a trace because every bill has a number that can be used to identify it, just as an address is unique and can be used to look up the transaction in the blockchain, but that doesn't mean the transaction itself isn't anonymous. |

What people? I don't know anyone who thinks that it's a scam and I'd be happy to discuss this with them and explain to them why it is not. From time to time I see troll posts where people say it's a scam, but given argumentation they answer something like "you'll see that I'm right when it dies and whole world will say it's a scam, you'll be sorry". Such people are not worth your time. There are some true non-believers, who say that decentralized economy cannot work, but it's something for a much longer post.

I said it many times and I'll say it again. The government has achieved mastery in stealing money and looking for it in our pockets. They are usually against everything and will make it as hard as possible for you to make money, but once you do, they'll be the first to reach out for it. I'm not going to report my cryptocurrencies anywhere, despite new laws and regulations, but I have the advantage because my coins were bought on exchanges that no longer exist.

We are still heading to all time high, do not be worried. I hate it when people act as if bitcoin became something so small that it is worthless now just after a huge increase. If you think $17k is bad because went from $19k to here, you are very wrong because we also moved from $10k to $17k in the past 2 months as well, why not focus on that part of the situation?
People always ignore how awesome we have improved and just care about the drop. We didn't even dropped that much neither, it is something like 10% or even 20% is not that big. For something that went as high as 90% in the past 2 months, dropping 20% or so is not really that big, it is a correction and there are people who are taking out their profits they made in the past 2 months, that was expected anyway.
This attitude is actually pretty common because it's hard for people to look back, they always move forward and if they look at charts it's maybe a week back, that's it. They feel like every single price level that gets breached is there to stay and then you get posts like "oh my god, bitcoin has crashed, is the rally over?" You look at the price and see that it's just down 10% and wonder: are they all newbies? |

I've heard talk of people claiming that "moving coins" would constitute proof, but I don't think that those who are resolute in their opinion would accept it (and indeed it doeasnt really constitute proof that CSW is Satoshi, merely that he controls keys.
It's true that many people wouldn't accept moving coins as proof that he's Satoshi, because it would only proof current ownership of the addresses, but the most important thing here is that he can't even do that. Craig can't even prove that he's the current owner, not to mention a past owner. I could accept partial, circumstantial proof because it would at least suggest that he was involved in the creation of Bitcoin. Maybe not the main guy, but at least there. Craig couldn't even prove that he was Satoshi's partner. He wasn't even in the same room with the man. He's a wannabe. |

17k was never an important level. You could see on the charts that it was nothing but a point where a dead cat bounce ended in 2018. Levels like that don't create strong resistances and we've stormed it without any problems. I think that we'll have to retest 20k soon, probably before the end of the year. If it plays out like it did in the last bull market, we'll break 20k and retrace below it for a while.

It's funny what you said, because how would you describe bitcoin millionaires? Are they lower class investors? Is Michael Novogratz a poor guy who has to choose poor man's investments because he can't afford Wall Street? Stocks also can be very cheap. In 2013 Tesla stock was worth just $10, now it's more than $400. Even poor people can make money in stocks, just like the rich can make money in cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrency has a different entry point. For some people like tech savvy millenials it's actually lower than stocks, for old-timers like Warren Buffett it's much higher than stocks.

I'm fine with people mixing economics and politics, but when they add religion it becomes unbearable. Christian this, Muslim that... religion has nothing to do with cryptocurrencies, just like it has nothing to do with you being born and dying, being smart or stupid, lucky or unlucky.
There will be no world war 3 OP, at least not in the traditional way. There may be a hacking war, there may be media war, a war meant to mislead people or create chaos, but nobody is going to start nuking you because people know what it means to start a nuclear war. It's a war that we all lose, one that has no winners, only survivors.

Us treasury can print enough dollars to buy all the bitcoins in the world, but will you sell knowing they want to buy it from you? Also, crazy printing of USD also means crazy printing of EUR and the rest because keeping up with the trend is important for them. When the US started printing earlier this year the EU central bank did the same. By the way, does a double negative form a positive?  |

i think you may be confusing some terminology here. there is a difference between having no job (jobless) and being self-employed. the examples you mentioned in OP such as freelancer are self-employed not jobless.
the only people who are truly "jobless" are the bums living under a bridge or the millionaire kiddos who are living off their parents money.
=== Before the internet kick in on the late 20th century, a job is without doubt, a stable paying 9 to 5, with plenty of retirement benefit, and just a couple of decades they’re calling everything else is a job? Fine then I’m wanna be the latter. Do you think there were no contractors in the 70s or 80s? People who had a trade, but they had no employer or a stable job? I'll give you some examples. My father's friend was never employed. He had a farm that sustained his family and lived like that for about 60 years. He was never poor. People would come and buy honey from him (he kept bees), milk, eggs, apples, but his everyday job was basically to feed the animals and take care of the garden. I agree with BrewMaster that you all "jobless" people really have jobs. You think that you need to have a boss and a contract to have a job, but you're wrong. When my neighbor asks me to cut his grass once a week, that's a job. My forum campaign that pays me every week is a job. |

I always like usdt for profit. Bitcoin is best for long term hold. But if want to get profit in s short time then i think you should choice usdt. Look, when Ethereum was $1200 if you hold them in btc then you lose more now. But you hold them in usdt, you can buy double now.
USDt is only for taking profit that you're planning to reinvest. USDt functions as a kind of middle man that stabilizes value, but is not spendable. I'm not a trader, I either enter a certain investment for months, or exit back into fiat. When I enter an investment I don't hold coins on an exchange but on my own wallet, and when I take profit it's directly into fiat money, preferably cash, that's why I never use usdt, but each of you can be in a different situation, so I can't tell you whether in your case USDT will be better than USD or EUR. |
