it is funny to see this topic be bumped again.
everyone has forgotten about this news specially the shitthy news sites such as cryptocoinnews!
PBOC has never stopped investigating Chinese exchanges and right now they are investigating them even more. but as we can all see price is rising non stop and everyone is trying to sweep news like this under the rug because it is not in their favor right now that they are all buying.

but after they bought and wanted to shake out the weak hands PBOC news becomes big again, but nothing really changes they will continue like yesterday and today and tomorrow.

the smaller the swings get the better it is to trade, it actually becomes easier because the changes become more predictable and logical. whereas in highly volatile market nothing is certain and you can never make successful trades in day trading.

besides bitcoin is not yet like that. as you can see there has been a nearly 7% rise in the last day alone and it has not yet stopped.

i agree but not with removing them from the list. at least not until it is 100% proven scam and by that time the coin itself dies, and it is automatically removed.

my reason is because calling a coin scam is too biased, i am not talking about a particular coin here obviously coins like what you mentioned is scam.
but saying something is scam is most of the time have more hidden reasons like FUD, competition,... then who is to decide? i'd say they should add something like a warning on them saying it is shady.

and in the end coinmarketcap and any other site like this are just lists with information on them and are always open to interpretation.

maybe but the rising speed doesn't show this, we are still at $980 after nearly two days. if there was a panic buying (fear of missing out or FOMO) we would have seen $1000+ already.
i think most of them will join in and start buying after the $1000 is broken, right now they are still afraid

in short term it is solved as soon as the attackers stop spamming the network. if you look at this chart https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-count?timespan=60days you can see what i mean. if it was genuine number of txs we would have experienced 50k+ every day not temporarily.

in long term block size must be increased and there is no escaping that.

1. Chinese traders never had any trouble with PBOC or the fact that they were investigating their exchange, it was the FUD that caused the drop.
2. this sounds mostly like news about banks and blockchain (not bitcoin).
3. India didn't have much effect back in the first time, i don't see them having much effect this time either.

i say the reason is simple, the price is rising due to increasing demand. this demand comes from all of the above reasons too but in trading there are down times where they use FUD to push it further down, and then there is an accumulation phase and then a rise. all three periods happened here.

you have officially stopped trolling and now you are spreading FUD.
here you are using an imaginary future price but use current real fees in your math and pretend it is correct.

your whole comment is full of flaws.
Today
bitcoin price is $980
fees are ~100 satoshi/byte or 0.0002 per tx
even if we assume it is 0.0004 means it is $0.39

A couple of years back
price was $5-$20
fee was 0.01BTC per tx

in the future
if price were 3.5 billion
fee would be 10 satoshi per tx

fees have changed multiple times in the past and will change in the future also.

accounts? wallet accounts? seriously! there is no such term.
and there is no possible way that you or anybody can tell how many people are using bitcoin. which makes your 15 mil only a pure random guess.

but the point about adoption is somewhat true. it has been slow and there have been some obstacles on the way, such as the volatile price and not being regulated. but at least bitcoin has some adoption and that adoption is growing every day. which i say is more than enough to call it success.

all of these people who you are talking about don't know the basics of trading which means they have to learn those basics topics. and they are not going to learn anything from a facebook group. there are multiple good resources out there for that matter.

well i wish you good luck and no offense but it sounds to me more like a pump group wannabe, and some people who want to gather some newbies to tell them what to buy and what to sell (buy after they bought and sell when they want to buy again or when they are done making profit)

if you want to teach anybody anything, here you go! this forum is open to you in order to make topics and ask others join in and discuss them and teach newbies everything you want to teach them on facebook!
not everyone has facebook or even willing to make a facebook account. but here is public and available to "all" bitcoin users.

not this time they won't. or at least i can tell you that the possibility of a big sale and coming below $1000 is very low now.

it is pretty simple. bitcoin price is rising and it has been rising over the past 8 years. the only difference is that it had some pumps, at least 2 major ones and after them there were corrections making things slow down.

also people who sell like crazy are weak hands who always gets flushed fast and this time they are out of the market and bottom is $900 and after accumulation by the whales we are rising. they weak hands will join in around $980 and $1000+ and after a rise to $1050+ they get flushed out again and new bottom (possibly around $1000) will shape up.

why?
if you are just guessing then it is worth nothing at all!

i would wonder and i would wonder a lot because there is not possible reason for going down at this point. we saw down after the rise which was the result of a correction. now it is time to continue to rise.

people are investing in bitcoin and they buy and hold it like stocks or shares. the investors don't care about these things!

and these things help the adoption and a huge rise which means going from $920 to $3000 not $920 to $1100

the volume is actually very high if you take a look at it. and it is continuously rising each year with more adoption.

what you say is no volume but the size of the orderbook which is not big enough yet.

Coinbase has never used paypal and using paypal to buy bitcoin and digital currencies as they put it is not allowed according to their terms of services.

the only thing Coinbase offered (and i only heard the news and never used it) is withdrawal to Paypal account, nothing more.

what do you guys see that i don't see
the site is just fetching tweets from different twitter accounts and lists them in the website! adds an advertisement in the middle and shows it to you.

which part of it is "good information"?

the URL seems like a free one, probably on a free hosting too. OP should at least put a little effort and adds some analysis or at the very least a couple of lines to what he is showing there!

i don't think it is over yet.
but things are obviously very bad these days. i keep seeing new altcoins pop up and when you check the project you find absolutely nothing new! it is the same old code copied and only with a new name!
if things continue this way, we either will see a million of them all at 1 satoshi and less or at some point they give up and leave the market alone to real development.

pumps in like 99% of the times, will leave a trace which you can find. there are many indications that lets you see them. and in case you could find anyone in a good time (meaning before they happen in larger scale) you can get in and make a good profit.

but things in bitcoin are very different and they become more and more complicated like other markets like Gold as size of the market grows.

for a thousand years the best thing anybody could do with money to make money is to run his own business. and that is what anybody should do. but this doesn't mean if you start any business it will make you money and make you rich.
the business has to be a good one which people need, not any random business and most certainly not copying what other people do.
it has to be unique. then by spending time on it, you can make it grow and over time make profit.

not really!
it mostly comes from someone who has been shouting $725 and $655 prices for a while.
and also it comes from this belief that since bitcoin price is volatile it means it is a gamble. but there has always been clear patters but with a bit larger swings that you normally see.


that may be. but you can never say there is no fake volume!
these exchanges have to compete with each other, for example if bitfinex wasn't on top, bitstamp could have gotten more volume, same goes for Chinese. that is why i believe they will always report some extra fake volume when they are sending out their results.

starting a real business is not as easy as you may think and it certainly would need a lot more than $50 that OP doesn't even have yet.
and when you want to start a business that already exists, such as an exchange service then things become even harder because of the competition, anyone who is trading anything already is using an exchange that they trust. in other words they won't switch over to a new service without trust.

ethereum is a new and a bad coin you shouldn't even put it in the same list with these coins. let it be around for a couple of years at least and then.

but the main reason for monero's success in my opinion is the privacy and anonymity features that it is offering, it was explained rather decent in a couple of comments above.

also it has been around for a long time, it has been developed by a good developing team, and also it has some adoption which mean you can actually use it as currency and that is a big edge in my opinion.


company an business?!!
these are cryptocurrencies and they don't need companies and anything centralized to become successful. only people (peers) to be using them P2P and it is happening but mostly in darknet.

making 0.01BTC into a 0.1BTC is a 10x rise and that is a common thing with altcoins mostly but the problem here is that you can not possibly know anything about them as a novice trader to make that much and if you just go in by chance you will never make that much consistently, maybe once or twice but that can never last.
instead of wanting to earn big profits such as 900-1000% try to learn to trade and make 5% for now and then move on to bigger objects.
