Do you really think Chinese Bitcoiners still want to use regulated Bitcoin exchanges? They already started to move away from these exchanges and are now trading informally on other platforms. The connections has already been made to trade informal with people they can trust.
This is what happens when governments wants to "clamp down" on people's freedom. They force people to use unregulated methods to trade freely. ^hmmmmmm^
Chinese traders moved out of the exchanges to other places only because these exchange platforms stopped their platform temporarily. and even though they may never come back to the old exchanges to continue their trading there because they have already moved to other places but there is no other reason for not coming back! it is like saying people won't trade Stocks because stock exchanges are regulated!!! But the difference is that bitcoin is not a stock, those that trade stocks know that every single thing they do is being monitored already by the government, but those that trade in bitcoin may not like the idea of their government monitoring them and as such will move to other platforms where the governments cannot watch them. |

if you got your wish you'd have no one left to read your rants
But if the OP got what he wanted then there will not be any need to make any rant to begin with, but unfortunately that is never going to happen as long as there is money involved there are always going to be speculators trying to get some profits even if they don’t believe in crypto. |

think about this, if people are willing to pay for the harmful fee that come with paypal, western union etc... then they can certainly go above the current fee for bitcoin
they are still very far away from being called crazy fee, even with big transaction you are looking to pay $1, this is hardly expensive, paypal will charge you more on average
You are correct but at the same time we are used to have very cheap fees in th not so distant past so I think we all want to have the price of those fees back but it seems that is not going to be the case, since it does not seem like the miners want to activate segwit. |

They're also going to be blacklisting addresses - presumably because they think money laundering is going on. What happens to the coins owned by the blacklisted addresses? Will they seize them and auction them? Or dump them on another exchange?
It is this kind of thing that might give the SEC pause when deciding whether to approve the ETF.
Nobody can control any bitcoin addresses that are held by other people so they may blacklist some bitcoin addresses but owner can easily escape it by using multiple bitcoin mixer to send coins out from those addresses to new one and PBOC will have hard time to track all of those new addresses and at some point they may just stop tracking it.  A government or a company dedicated to track bitcoin transactions are never going to give up trying to find new algorithms to try to link addresses so it is not as easy as you think. |

I keep seeing the bots flash on polo instantly replacing each others orders, this is not something C.A.T. can do. Does anyone know what bot these market makers are using, or have one for sale?
Maybe you are seeing gunbots? This is the link. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1715214.0Gunbot is a trading bot created by the member Gunthar, if I remember correctly he is selling a copy for 0.1BTC, read the thread and see if you are convinced enough to buy. |

If a blacklist was initiated then eventually all the addresses involved in mixing coins could be blacklisted and in that way you will be unable to use them in exchanges and websites like that. |

You already have all what it is necessary to prove your transaction took place and that it was confirmed on the blockchain, if after seeing your proof they are still in denial then they are trying to scam you. |

Most VPN accept bitcoin as a payment option nowadays but some of them are private internet access, that service used to sponsor this forum, TorGuard also offers a good service and AirVPN is a good option too.

I don't know how you can to compare PayPal and bitcoin. They are two different things. Only just internet payment program and other is currency. But if to talk about slowly transactions I also noticed that it became much slower than before. I can't say that it's annoy me a lot, cause banks transactions are providing during 3 days, so to wait some hours with bitcoin transactions is ok to me.
Correct bitcoin still is a lot faster than any bank transfer but unfortunately it seems the time where we had cheap and fast confirmations is slowly fading away and we are entering a time where high fees and slow confirmation time will be the norm. |

This is why it is important to introduce anonymity features to bitcoin, if those features are not put in place then the fungibility of bitcoin is going to be put to test since coins that have gone through the dark web or casinos will not be accepted any longer. |

Smart contract isn't something new, far from it. So many people has been learning solidity scripting language in the past years but the only time I was given the opportunity of using a smart contract, I didn't and saved myself from one of the biggest fiasco ever in crypto : the DAO.
Right now I just did a smart contract unexpectedly for a real use case and it went like :
That's it. I literally had no idea I was doing a smart contract if I wasn't told it's a smart contract.
I needed to trade with a total stranger on the Internet, the escrow wasn't available so we just did a smart contract through the chat box.
That's how smart contracts should works : for a real use without being aware you're doing a smart contract.
I have never done a smart contract but this is nice, this is the way technology it is supposed to work, technology must be seamless and this is the perfect example of that. |

Paypal isn't a scam. I speak from own experience and i have never had any issues with making transactions to someone else.
The only issues I have had with Paypal are the high fees for a transaction.
I do agree with this I did many transactions with PayPal from buying from online shops. And there's no problem that I did experienced from it everything went smoothly. People are just the ones who are making some bad ideas and using this payment processor as a medium of their shady activities with their victims. Paypal as a buyer is great but paypal as a seller is terrible since the buyers will try sometimes to get advantage of the chargebacks and most of the time paypal sides with them, this is one of the reasons paypal is not accepted in the forum as a medium to buy bitcoins. |

Price rising = rumours + good news
Price going down = bad news + panic selling + whales cashing out
But what factors keep Bitcoin price stable?
The price is kept stable when the bulls and the bears have the same strength and they are both pushing with the same strength but that can easily change with bad news or good news or by hacks or new developments by the devs. |

Seeking anyone who uses Localbitcoins paxful or coinbase can make 1 btc a day email DennisSpence7@icloud.comto discus NO SCAMS Too good to be true, if you can make that much money then why not make that money by yourself instead of risking your method getting leaked? If I had a method that good I will try to raise capital by selling my stuff until I had enough cash to make my method work. |

The best way to cash out some of your bitcoins is through localbitcoins, you can just wait until someone accepts a deal and you can charge a premium for selling your bitcoin instead of paying the exchanges that amount, besides it is easy and you can get your money in cash or your bank account.

So what we have now is a situation where a dip is expected if X event happens, and a price rally or even massive pump if X event happens...
We only know some odds, which ultimately are not reliable as we have seen in the past with brexit and trump events with odds against those events.
So it's a gamble: ETF or no ETF? sell and buy back cheaper, or hold and see your BTC go $3000?
I have no idea, it all comes down to luck, so good luck to you (and to me)
If we can predict with accuracy what is going to happen under particular circumstances then that is not gambling, you have no way to know what number the dice is going to show up, so the direction ETF goes is irrelevant since we know what will happen whatever the outcome. |

Well, we have now to send transactions with a fee $1-$10 otherwise the transaction will never get confirmed
Just telling you, don't waste your time posting a thread on tech problems section
Even now transactions with less than 0.01 BTC will never get confirmed(or it will take longer)
You delvs didn't trough this could happend if the bitcoins went up the market?
Yeah, but good thing that I cashed out my bitcoins earlier haha.
I don't agree with you, transactions are processed normally, i is normal to give priority to the highest fee payers, otherwise they wouldn't pay, and miners are happy because they earn more from these high fee TXs. You are considering the situation from USD point, Bitcoin's price is over 1200$ for now. I always pay 50K Satoshi for all my TXs, if i am in a hurry or i have move a large amount, then i pay around 100k Satoshi, sometimes more, it depends on the size of the TX. What i want to say is that it is useless to complain about the fee, you decide of your fee, if it is forgoten by the nodes, then rebroadcast it, if you are in hurry, ask ViaBTC to push your TX. Consider the situation in a BTC point, and you will see that the actual fees are marginal. Of course it's normal to give priority to those who pay the highest fees but that's just not the point. The cost of transactions has risen to ridiculous levels - you can pay a few hundred thousand satoshi and (in my case) it has still taken days to confirm. This is not okay for normal transactions. People just don't pay $10 for something and expect nearly half of it to be taken away from them for it to actually work, and transaction accelerators will never make it okay because all they do is cram a few transactions into the next block - the block is still pretty damn small. I will keep using Bitcoin because I believe that this is a temporary problem and that it can be solved, but I don't appreciate attempts to ignore the severity of the problem. Bitcoin needs to be convenient if it's going to appeal to more people and spread as a currency. I just hope that enough miners will implement SegWit soon because Bitcoin is on the verge of a whole new level and as soon as SegWit is approved we'll know that we're ready to make that step. I like segwit but I don’t think it is going to be approved, the miners are in it for the money not for bitcoin so it is very unlikely they are going to pass segwit since they feel it runs against their economic interests. |

Nope, at best we are going to see a small pump and nothing more, the price did well without the Chinese trying to influence the price with fake volume, so 2k by the end of march is too soon. |
