but you can always fork off and play with eth dapps derps.
ETH: Price > 10x in 2 months BTC: Keeps tanking, predictably Man, you must feel AWFUL And if you even decided to invest in Ethereum, you can hope to see tears once the whales start dumping their coins and dropping the price back down to where it's supposed to be, and feeling bad about not sticking with bitcoin. Bad as the tears around here, when BTC started tanking at $1,200? Man, would'a cried my eyes out, myself, because such not P&D Yes in retrospect we recognize $1200 as an inflated highpoint... but hardly a pump and dump to take nearly a year to force the price down to below $200 with considerable amounts of capital used in order to achieve such objective. Actually, there was considerable amounts of capital used in both directions (the pump and the dump of bitcoin)... We will see whether Ether can do another 10X... after the latest 10x... and that would surely be impressive if it were capable of such (which seems very low likelihood). Bitcoin seems to be in a much better position for a 10X (at this time) as compared with Ether doing another 10x at its current price point.

It is relatively flat in two months within a range of about $352 to $450... and currently within about the middle of that range.. Not exactly "tanking" and not exactly in any kind of "predictable" manner because there have been some fairly decent ups and downs in the past couple of months in bitcoinlandia.

Brian Armstrong speaks, and the price retreats. Like clockwork. Every single time. Yeah....my powers on such only work with Women. ..... I speak ....they retreat..... Every single time. (then again the lack of a life is why I got into BTC..so hey.....if BTC ever gets back to $1000 usd a coin...I'm pretty sure for some 'unexplained' reason...I'd get a LOT more attractive. Go figure? ? I think so, too. Guys will certainly become much more attractive and interesting to the chiquitas with bitcoins at $1,000; however, I am thinking that the next bitcoin bubble, once we get there, is going to shoot into the $3k to $5k territory.... It's just a matter of when, and if we will all still be alive by then and still able to provide peanut services to each of the chiquitas who become more interested in us (for our various "qualities").

What is a make believe profits?
Make-believe profits; adjective - noun [plural]; Investor's shrewd investment is worth less now vs when he made the investment. A complete fucking lack of profits. What's the status of your portfolio?
None of your business. Have you ever provided any details in your BTC history in order to attempt to engage in a meaningful dialogue rather than vague pussified indirect innuendos?
No, see above. Meaningful dialogue without pointless bloviation, sounds refreshing. Your post pretty much proved my point that you are engaged in ongoing vague pussified indirect innuendos, which in essence is a whole hellava lot easier to pick apart various contributions of other posters in these here threads rather than to provide some kind of closely approximating meaningful content of your own.

I hate to see other coins succeed. Ahahah xD Well on a more serious manner, I hate useless shit succeeding. Eth is not a coin, it's not a currency and shouldn't be treated as one. And let's be serious, if they wanted our sympathy, they shouldn't have spammed reddit like that... I think it's us that needs their sympathy. Innit? Sympathy? Why would we need sympathy when we got bitcoins! BTC BTCBecause we hit our capacity limit. They got sharding or whatever so they can scale to the moon. Not even close to hitting any kind of real limit. I had several transactions on the blockchain in the past few days, and a few of them, I experimented and cut the standard fee in half (from .0001BTC to .00005BTC per kilobyte - that's $.02), and all of my transactions were confirmed (at least 3 confirmations) within a couple of hours.. and within minutes each of them showed up as "pending." If we get to the point of a week or longer with these kinds of low fees to confirm transactions, then let me know, and I will consider the matter. Yeah, sure, we want some faster transactions and to keep fees low, but have a little patience ladies (ten paciencia mujeres) because Seg wit is right around the corner, and there are likely going to be a lot of innovations and inventions around the seg wit technologies (and contributions to the blockchain). Well to be honest JJG, I remember not being shaken in the least by the Ripple shills. Because Ripple is shit. But this Ether madness has got me wondering. Are my fellow big blockers all moving on to greener pastures? IDK. I just DK Surely, ETH has a bit more credibility than Ripple, but really, you could not really believe what you just wrote.... Further, this Eth pump has only been about 6 weeks... o.k.... surely it 10x in 6 weeks, but still, you gotta step back a little bit... and surely, even if ETH does not crash back to below $2, Bitcoin still is going to retain considerable value.. in spite of some of the ongoing and ridiculously exaggerated in-fighting.

In that regard, any problems are people using entirely too many words to bloviate about their make-believe profits.
What is a make believe profits? What's the status of your portfolio? Have you ever provided any details in your BTC history in order to attempt to engage in a meaningful dialogue rather than vague pussified indirect innuendos? Blockstream has your future well in hand, they're technical experts you know...
Blockstream is one entity, and many fearmongering FUDsters seem to giving too much weight to their alleged importance in order to attempt to bring greater weight to their conspiracy theory FUD spreading attempts. Your calling and purpose in this decentralized network ruled by math, intrepid investor, is quite simple: Buy... and HODL. Buy and HODL is not too bad of a strategy (and surely it is much easier to accomplish and harder to fuck up than trading); however, when there is a lot of up and down price movements in the bitcoin space, there can be some advantages in protecting a person's own BTC investment portfolio and overall position by selling small (or some manageable) quantities on the way prices go up (in order to buy more BTC on the way prices go down). A major problem in attempting to protect yourself by selling small amounts of your BTC holdings seems to be that people tend to get too carried away or greedy with selling a lot and attempting to make some kind of killing (rather than engaging in hedging like behaviors by selling perhaps less than 30% of profits at various upswing price intervals)

Current bitcoin hodlers are surprisingly 'strong hands'. There is so much FUD and pessimism currently that the situation is quite scary for some, I'm sure. On the other hand, there is Ethereum's amazing bull run...which surely attracts some greedy btc hodlers. I hope I didn't speak too early, though Why would those of us who are still here quit now? That was my point...kind of Yeah, as if it would be really smart to quit bitcoin after 100% appreciation in about a year... with a lot of the interesting ongoing developments in the space... The level of FUD is truely amazing - though I am sure it is shaking a few of the ones who got into bitcoin in recent times (want to take their profits and maybe mitigate their perception of potential losses)

You should change your name, from "TakeTheSkyRoad" to "TheSkyIsFallingRoad" The information contained within the link is filled with total bullshit. The worst problems in bitcoin, at the moment is that some people are believing propaganda regarding supposed technical problems in bitcoin. In that regard, any problems are people screaming really loud about make believe technical problems.

Bitcoin is abdicating its first mover status as electronic cash by not allowing the consumer market to make general purchases. Others will gladly take its place and enjoy the liquidity.
That's it. I'm getting back into altcoins. Thanks Blockstream!! Yeah.. .thanks Obama. By the way, which possible alts are you gonna try out? I may follow your lead... because this bitcoin governance is just bullshit and seems to be taking way too long in causing bitcoin to become the dominant world currency... We gotta just figure out to which coyn are we gonna go? There are nearly 700 choices, but I am sure any of them would be better than this bitcoin crap. I was thinking about LIQUID coin... .. At least the name seems to be heading in the right direction. http://coinmarketcap.com/assets/liquid/However, if you have a better choice, I will consider that, too.. I'm flexible like that. Don't hesitate to PM me if you've got a good candidate. Honestly I'm more and more doubtful about btc future. Yeah. The blocks have been like 80% or more full for days, and I did a nearly 3btc transaction today it cost me fricken $.04, and took nearly 2 fucking hours to confirm. You know I could have used something else that's better. I'm sure there's gotta be something that will give more comfort. We just gotta find it.

I'm looking for another coin with secret meetings where the plan is to fake consensus to secure a miner's long position. Got anything like that? I looked for Masonic coyn, but they don't seem to have one yet. Maybe we can check with Bruce to see if he knows? I'm not very smart about those things, so I'd rather just follow what you smarter people think.

Buyt they said, to the moon they said :-/
Never gonna break the 450 Never gonna let you down (under the 400)
It's all roller coster in that range
That's crazy talk.. especially regarding "never". Surely, we have been floating largely in a price range of about $370 to $450.. for what seems like a hell-of-a long - however, there is no "never" in bitcoinlandia... like your post seems to be emphasizing.. we could go up with prices, or down... I'm kinda thinking that up is a bit more probable than down, but what the fuck do I know? In any event, each of us should attempt to kind of be prepared for prices to go in either direction, at least for the short term.. .. especially in this particular $370 to $450 range.. .. and $450 seems more likely that $370... but we should keep a little fiat in our reserves to be prepared for the less likely occurrence of $370.... Surely UP would be nice, but should we just try to enjoy a bit while we are here in these seemingly low market cap territories, and maybe attempt to accumulate a few more coins.. and even to shore up our plans for the upward choo choo.. whether that comes within 6 months or 18 months? So, we should try to accumulate coins, even if it is just one or two coins within the next several weeks, but who really knows for sure for how long we are going to continue to languor in these price territories? Within the most likely probabilities of the bell curve, BTC prices could languor here for as short as 8 hours or could be as long as a year or more... Most likely there is going to be a upward breakout within less than the next 6 months. but chances are pretty decent that such upward break out will happen sooner than 6 months. Thoughts?

This ship is drifting in open waters, with the captain missing and no one else having any idea how to steer this ship. The crew is getting hungry and agitated with each other. First signs of coming cannibalism appear, while some are already keeping warm by using pieces of the ship to build a fire.
Yeah right... Making shit up. So far, in the past 24 hours, BTC prices seemed to have experienced about a $15 downward adjustment that popped back up $5 (so a $10 temporarily downward adjustment).. and yes, maybe BTC prices are going to be going down further, but such prices could also go up... Do you know which way BTC prices are going in the next 24 hours or 7 days or 30 days? Or are you here (in this BTC thread) to pump your little friend, ETH (the new coin wonder that took Ripple's place as the current pump coyn)?

what's going on with price slippage... or so it seems
been getting repeatedly spiked down and worked lower last 3 days now despite some seemingly heavy resistance ... basically it didn't breach $450 or 3000cny on the upswing from the looks of it and so down it goes ... now about $20 off from the $445 it hit 3 days ago ... pretty brutal and demoralizing but i assume that's the idea it always is ... we'll see if it goes up from 425 , 420 , or somewhere between there and 400 ... You should not let yourself get demoralized by such volatility and price movements. Just attempt to prepare for various swings of 5%, 10% and up to 20% in short periods of time. Such price changes are not the end of bitcoin, but part of the process of upward movements includes some flat periods and even downward tests of the support. oh i'm still in it and trading to some success overall ... have been actively selling and rebuying lower as has been the correct thing to do most lately so increasing btc though losing fiat value and proceeding with the mindset that i refuse to be shaken out prior to halving and scaling implemented... been trading this long enough (years) to know this price movement is normal / intentional ... i will say though wherever it goes up to before / during / after halving and scaling is where i intend to walk away or at least mostly just too much stress to reward ratio for how little coin i'm trading ... i'm growing to hate the sound of alarm bells waking me up mostly Understandable.. that sometimes, there may be a need to reallocate and to take some out in order that the investment is less stressful because the volatility (especially downward) can be a real pain in the ass, and require way too much attention.

In other news: today, Bitcoin is down to 82.5% market share of the crypto space. Lower than any other data point in my recent memory.
Wasn't there a time in early 2015 in which Ripple had nearly 25% of the market cap of bitcoin? Seems like it. There was a time when Ripple's market cap exceeded that of Bitcoin. No, really. Stop laughing - you're gonna feel foolish when you check the facts. Hello? That's not what I said. O.k... I may be a little bit off on my facts, but if you look at coinmarket cap, and you compare bitcoin's market cap on December 22, 2014 of $4.4 Billion to Ripple's market cap of $754 million, I calculate that to be about 17%, yet I did not research all of the market caps of all of the other alts on that same date, but from that quickie research, it appears that your assertion that 82.5% market share for bitcoin as the lowest ever, is not accurate. By the way, it appears that on December 22, 2014 litecoin had a market cap of about $100 million and Doge had about $18 million... Now, I am tired of research, yet I think I made my point. Two things: 1) I didn't say lowest ever. I said lowest in recent memory. 2) Right - you said within 25% or so, and you found a data point to confirm it. I was not arguing against your point, just pointing out that it was way wider thatn your 25% - indeed, at one time Ripple was bigger than Bitcoin. The superfluous tag sentences were merely to drive home how surprised I feel most might be to leran this. Bonus 3) Well, duh. If Ripple alone used to be bigger than Bitcoin, it is obvious that Bitcoin's market share has indeed been lower than 82.5%. But 82.5% is a recent low. This is a metric I check once a week or so. When I see any new trend, I go looking for a reason. I think the reason this time is a foolish FOMO into ETH. I think many are likely to end up hurt when this pops. But some other alts are also rising. Is this a trend with legs? I hope not. If Bitcoin dies, the entire crypto field will be set back by a decade or more. But I'm keeping my eye on it. Well, I don't really see any point to argue regarding this because I think that each of us made our points fair and square.... and maybe just clarified a few matters. Nonetheless, regarding your point about Ripple being bigger than bitcoin, when was this? (any significant period of time between 2013 and present?)... What I am trying to suggest, in my questioning the relevance of such a point (ripple bigger than bitcoin), is that really, bitcoin was only introduced, somewhat, to the mainstream in 2013.. .with any significant market cap of higher than $1billion. Regarding your points about bitcoin losing market share. I really doubt that bitcoin has witnessed any close and/or meaningful threat recently, and there is not even one in the wings at the moment (despite various ongoing fear mongering)
