The thing is that bitcoin is not the dotcom bubble. The circumstances are different for every bubble, and if it bubbles in the first place then it's probably a sign of it's finally got some media attention that it deserves. And even though bitcoin is a bubble, and yes, it may crash, I really doubt that it'll get back to 3 figures again. Ask anyone whether they would want to purchase bitcoin at the all time high of 2013 and they would say a definite yes. Also if you actually bothered to zoom out on the big picture... You'll see where amazon is at right now. Thousands of percent above the dotcom bubble levels.  I agree that bitcoin may go down further, but definitely will be staying above $2-3k at the worst case. |

Oh wow. Makes perfect sense now. It's quite sad really.
Very sad... And his altcoin capitalizes on bitcoin's brand name! Just like the 5000 other altcoins that has the name bitcoin in it, with an airdrop for bitcoin holders. And then, he goes on to spread bullshit about bitcoin. Makes total sense for someone that has a mental breakdown. Seriously though, this guy obviously for one reason or another is an absolute hater of bitcoin. Yet he is still on bitcointalk forum. Unless moderators think that he has broken forum rules one way or another, these message just have to be ignored. Everyone knows he's FUDing anyways. |

Here you asked for a .1 BTC loan but were offering 5700 Kapu coins as collateral. Now you are offering less than half of that amount, even though in the end it's all the same... you can't trade them anywhere. No one knows what the price is right now because of that. Once they are listed somewhere, and have some liquidity, then I might consider funding this. As things currently stand, you have nothing. It was a mistake on me, I change the percentage of the collateral im providing to 120% thus caused for a change in the kapu as a collateral, it has a flat price of .000025 per kapu which is set to change once it will be listed. The price of the Kapu is shown on the wallet application. here is a picture since i could not get a screen shot. https://imgur.com/a/AukDsAlright, but that's just the site setting the line. They can say it's worth whatever they want. I dont think they set it, its been like that ever since they released the sale of the ICO. ICO price does not reflect market sentiment. They initial sellers of the token set the line, and there is no guarantee that that number will be maintained when/if the token gets listed on an exchange. Understandable, Prices are set to change once being traded, I fully understand that and understand the concept the of ICO pricing. Therefore i am willing to provide any additional amount of Kapu to uphold a collateral of 120%, I will also change the circumstance for the liquidity to it that i will also be able to add Ripple to uphold the value if i do not have enough kapu. I can fill this loan, provided that you provide Ripple as collateral. I'm sorry, but unfortunately just like everyone else said, Kapucoins are worthless to the most of us, unless some lender also invested in the Kapu ICO and wants to take on some risk in terms of holding these coins because they believe in the project. But the majority to all here aren't going to consider it valid collateral. Valid collateral is when collateral can be traded on the open market, and it is liquid. It's not both of that. If you can offer 0.13 BTC worth of ripple as collateral, let me know and I'll consider. A lot of other lenders would be interested as well if you offer that. |

"Sir" is just a term for those new to English to show respect - same way you call someone "Mr." to show respect.
mate Sir is being used by the Pajeets more and more.. I think we need a new classification of this word.. anyone who uses Sir in a non comedic way gets a ban.. "Mate"  ? You want to reproduce with me? Oh wait, you may have a different definition of mate than I do....  why wouldn't he? your boob is surprisingly attractive if you ask me. |

Will bitcoin go up to 20k usd on mid this year and 25k usd the end of the year? Comment down below for your thougths.  Most likely, no. We're seeing quite a negative downturn from the start of the year. While I think that we're go on recover mode soon and probably make up for the bulk of the losses, I just don't see that sort of pump to take us to $25k by the end of the year. I'm personally much more convinced that the price hike will take a break for now and potentially just rest a bit, and after a year's time in 2019 or 2020 we'll see another pump wave just like this year's. Obviously, if people's attitudes turn bullish again this year, everything can change. |

Good morning guys. It looks as if I did the right thing by holding off. The price at the moment is just below $8,000. This has led me to an interesting ( to me ) point. How much do these price points in various currencies matter. I'm English so I look at things in the terms of Sterling, and I was watching the price movement around the £6,000 mark. Obviously the US dollar is the major currency used in price movement analysis, but I suspect that there will be local buyers and sellers who will base their investment choices on a local price quote. It looks as if the "W" is getting a bit stretched out, so I'm not sure how to read the current graphs. I found it interesting to look at the inverse, somehow that seemed to give me a clearer picture of the recent movements. I guess I'm still very nuch an amateur in this world. My feeling is that the next significant price movement is going to be triggered by an event. Maybe another default by the Douche Bank, or the announcement of another national crypto-currency. You make a great point. There are three country's primary currencies that I'm aware of that is currently above or around the $10k barrier still: - Canada - New Zealand - Australia Australia in particular, these countries are all very big bitcoin countries that can't be discounted, and it's interesting to see that price has chosen to establish a floor at around these rates, around $10k in each of these local currencies. I do wonder if it plays on local traders psychologically too, sort of a delayed response from US traders. Obviously BTC's fall from grace only accelerated when $10k was broken. Anyways, I can see this downtrend continue for a few more days before adjusting back up to around $8500 or so. This $9k barrier is proven to be harder to break than I would have initially thought, to be quite honest with you. |

It's got over 6000 confirmations right now so it's definitely a fully confirmed transaction.
So your problem, if I have interpretd it correctly, is that yobit is still saying that it's got 0 confirmations when it's supposed to be already credited to your account already? Please correct me if I'm wrong with my assumption.
If yes then it's quite common with yobit. They do this regularly, and if you deposit onto yobit make sure that you're prepared for this.
Anyways, take a screenshot of the deposit and send it to support along with the blockchain txid. That way they should be able to solve it easily(but it's up to them about time).

The support have never answer me, I've contact them on twitter , this is the address of my wallet 1E8pJXNJwpqhdNGLcxgSpEL3uEVshPw89c
A while ago I heard about them not giving users their BCH, but IIRC that is resolved already. Qoinpro is one of the old sites that has been around. I earned a couple of satoshis with them just by holding an account with them. Never got to withdraw anything apart from some Fedoracoins which are pretty much worthless, though. If that is the case then it seems like they are not that responsive with tickets but still care about people on twitter. Why did you send 0.7 BTC to them in the first place? They're not even a good web wallet by any means.ø |

I bought this crappy software for 1400$ FOR A 3 MONTH LICENSE (MOST PROFESSIONAL ONE) when bitcoin was like 17000$.
Only to find out that:
= Their forum is dead. Even closed forum has no valuable information. Many "guides" with promising end were promised years ago without any advance.
= Their bot doesn't make any money which is absolutely ridicolous for this kind of money. There are so many professional companies who would rent you a VERY profitable bot for FOREX or other markets, that actually make %% daily for MUCH LESS. So I expected at least the same.
= MOST IMPORTANT and I claimed refund based on this
I saw the exchange I'm registered at (CEX) in the list of supported markets. BUT IT DIDN'T WORK! Stephan (probably the owner) told me it's not haasbot problem, but CEX. In the end it was only my problem, because I waited a few weeks to see that obviously problem is LONG KNOWN, but they are ready to sell the bot, but not ready to refund or acknowledge their mistakes: which is to inform buyers that something is not working for MONTHS!
I asked for AT LEAST a partial refund. No reply for a week.
So here goes this review. GOOD LUCK!
I doubt that you'll be able to get any sort of refund. The profitability part is a no brainer. First of all you should have read other people's review on this, and even if they were positive doesn't mean that this bot will make you a guaranteed profit. Otherwise, everyone would be using this bot for trading. They won't offer you a refund solely because of the fact that they can easily claim that in their terms and conditions they have stated that the software is provided as is with no claims of guaranteed profits, which makes sense. Not sure what the CEX problem is about, but if they knew the problem beforehand for months then they should have at least stated when you bought the bot. I do feel sorry for you though, being out of pocket for around $2k is tough dude. These bots charge a lot of money. |

Hopefully it's nothing and the guy is just larping but someone posted a snippet of, allegedly, poloniex' log in credentials and is threatening to dump complete list tomorrow: https://twitter.com/poloniexhack/status/962288838692474880Let's wait and see till tomorrow whether he delivers. Edit: if he tweets any link tomorrow, be extra cautious and inspect before clicking/downloading anything. It's BS... He obviously can't do any damage even if he's got the files, otherwise he want try to extort in public but rather try to withdraw as much funds from the system as he possibly could before they force reset everyone's password. No hacker would ever show to the public what they've been able to achieve and basically warn poloniex about what's upcoming. I'm guessing that either he's going to try to get greedy people to buy this so called database from him or just cause a widespread panic about poloniex and try to demand money from them. Either way, this is a poorly thought out attempt of scamming. Change your password nonetheless, doesn't hurt to do it. |

He's got trust on his account so that means that he is most likely going to be a lot more dependable than just a random guy on the forum.
Still though, your refund will depend on him. First you need to verify that you indeed participated in the groupbuy, of course you've got the signed message so as long as that checks out, it shouldn't be a problem at all.
There is obviously a problem with him not being online. Just bump your post on his thread often and hope that he sees it eventually and come online.
He may argue that price of BTC has gone down drastically, so your refund may be discounted though. Try to negotiate with him in that case, hopefully it doesn't happen, though.

I just recently had my account on paxful frozen. No respond from the help/email either.
Is there any service people provide to help unfreeze the account or anything i can possibly do to help me unfreeze my account?
A little help would be appreciated.
Thanks
It's probably because something that you did that caused your account to be frozen in the first place. Most likely, someone reported you to the paxful moderators because they thought that you were scamming them or something like that. That's the only reason I've heard about that Paxful accounts would get frozen. Obviously, it could be a false accusation, and paxful still acted on it. Just wait for the response. There is no service to unfreeze accounts here on bitcointalk unfortunately because all of this is internal to paxful. We can't do anything to change your account status as an outsider. |

It's hard to compare a crash from 60$ to 20$ to a crash from 18000$ to 6000$.
At 18000$ the network is supposed to be much stronger and the market cap is much higher, at the first case, the market cap is so low that there's no need for a lot of power to impact the market, while at the second case huge manipulation is needed and is probably being drove by really strong people.
I believe that looking at past crashes won't help is to predict what is going to happen with the recent crash, as all the crashes at the past happened when the bitcoin was much smaller, so there's nothing to compare.
That's exactly what people said about the crash of 2013 as well. It's all about perspective. If you've got price at $1300 and it suddenly goes down to $200 within a few months time, you'll probably panic as well. It's not like just because price is low, people don't panic as a result. So I do think that the OP's point still stands. Historical evidence is one of the strongest and history most of the time will repeat itself, sooner or later. Right now, we're still working out when the recovery will actually happen, and whether or not this dump is over yet. Sure it could go down lower but I think this is a good entry point for the long term, below $10k. Obviously make your own informed decision, just my opinion. |

Thanks guys for your reply. Fingers crossed that there is not another btc drop to a new low and my contract will run as long as possible. At least only 1-2 months from now and I will reach my break even. So glad I didn't put more money into it. In the end I can say I was involved into btc mining but that s pretty much it. Is it the same with those other contracts as well like ETH or ZCASH where it is from start limited to 2 years without maintenance fees? Or is that even something you wouldn't recommend as well?
Alts are in a bubble right now, especially ETH, if that bubble bursts then same thing, you could be looking at a huge loss. Also if you have noticed - they basically have access to your funds for around 3 months without any compensation. It says on Genesis Mining's site that mining will only commence 30/04/2018. They're not paying you anything during this time period in between now and then. Plus, for the Ethereum contract you'd be looking at mining another coin instead of ETH before contract's expiry if Ethereum switches to PoS. You'll also be getting a lower hashrate because of the no maintenance fee, it's not like you're getting the same hashrate. Difficulty increases will still apply. Get your money out of cloud mining, if you can, and break even. Don't look back. |

Currently, BRC is consolidating around $8,100, but is you take a close look at the daily chart, you will find that volumes are increasing, indicating that price is ready to move up, and the target will be $9,800. But the overall downtrend stays intact. Check the analysis from Chinese analyst Kuang Ren and feel free to leave your comments: Judging by volumes on hourly chart, this time, price holds greater chance to move above MA 5 again when compared with last surge as marked. Basically, the expanding volumes indicate the enthusiasm of main funds to push price up. That’s why I insist that price will break above MA 5. $8,000 and $9,800 are strong resistance on daily chart, if price breaks above $8,000 tonight just like how it did that in last 2 attempts, it’s very likely for price to bounce back to around $9,800, meaning that positions set around $8,000 will be unlocked. However, we can’t make any judgement about how price will move after getting to resistance level. Please keep in mind that current wave of uptrend is only part of the pullback on weekly chart, bottom after current move is unknown to all of us. Being cautious is recommended. Last week, I stated in my analysis that price will keep stable in the next 1-2 weeks, now price is moving as expected. You can hold on to your chips. Original by Kuang Ren, translated by AICoin Jami. Go to https://www.aicoin.net.cn/article/13337.html for full-version analysis. Yep, $9800-10200 is going to be the next target so it seems. Though right now, the resistance is really put on the $9k level. We've hit that several times today already, but now the price has corrected down to $8.8k or so. Seems like the market isn't that ready to take on $10k right now. There is is still some bearish sentiments floating around as well, at the moment. Expect price to stay put for the next week or so before a breakout to the high $9ks. |

Winklevoss twins: Bitcoin will someday be worth as much as 40 times its current
They believe that bitcoin is more valuable than gold. Hopefully more people will see the value of Bitcoin brings. This is also good news to help the virtual currency market recover quickly, overcome the storm cryptocurrency .
What they believe is up to them. I doubt that it'll have that much of a impact on bitcoin price. There are just too many "experts" out there saying a whole range of different and sometimes contradicting info to the public. I agree with them though. I do think that one day in the future, bitcoin's market capitalization will probably exceed that of gold's. A few years ago if you said that bitcoin would ever be worth the same as one ounce of gold, you were delusional. When will this happen would be completely unknown. It could take a decade or two before a pump this big happens again. |

Are you fuck*ng kidding me?
I started getting into Bitcoin when it was like $750 bucks, it crashed all the way down to $150 coming from the peak of $1200 ish on MtGox... everyone was saying it was dead, but the more I read about Bitcoin, the more it became OBVIOUS to me that Bitcoin was extremely cheap at $1200, and obviously at $150, when all the idiots were claiming it was dead. Now we are once again experiencing exactly the same situation. Bitcoin's technology keeps evolving, everything keeps getting better, but all the noobs get distracted by fake news, fork this fork that... sad to see, but this gives us smart money the possibility to accumulate more before floor becomes 6 figures.
Anyone not accumulating Bitcoin under 5 figures a coin is completely insane. We will revisit this thread in 2020 for some perspective and time will put once again everyone where they belong.
You've nailed it. I actually regret not buying as much as I did back in 2014-2015 because I was a newbie to crypto back then and thought the exact same thoughts that people right now are panicking about. I was worried way too much even though I knew that bitcoin had potential. So my advice to new bitcoin investors is this - if you think that bitcoin has potential for mass adoption, and be used basically anywhere around the world as a currency in the near future, then you should follow your gut feeling and buy at 4 figures. Sometimes checking the prices too frequently can become a distraction instead of something of a good thing. That I learned from experience. There is just way too much FUD going on these days, that isn't even legit. |

I find this chart interesting to debunk people who are recently saying the Bitcoin golden age is over... As I said before, the current situation we see these past days is not the first one and maybe not the last one... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DVnfBQgUMAEYEbo.jpgWhile it can surprising for people who are not used to see this, in the chart we can see this situation happened several times before, (up to 90%). Notice it happened as short as 2-3 days and 1-month max about The definition (for me) of a crash is when then the value lost at least 20%. But a crash doesn't mean the end. Maybe it will take more time to come back to what it was 1 -2 month(s) ago but this is fine to me.  Yep... It's interesting to see all of this. Seems like bitcoin usually adjusts around 40-60% after a rally, and then make its way up again after a few months/years of consolidation. History indeed repeats itself. And FUDsters will always remain FUDsters at the end of the day, their job is to be a troll and spread FUD. I've seen so many people say that there is no chance that the all time high will be broken again, after the crash. Oh wait... And then you realize that people said the exact same thing when the crash of 2013 happened... |

This is against forum rules as well since he is copy-pasting, with his referral link as well.
No doubt he is just using this forum to promote his most likely scam project.
These people deserve to get banned from the forum forever. The reason why he posted in off topic was to perhaps cover up his trails so that his post history seems to be legit and the violating posts do not get discovered by a moderator easily.
I've reported his posts to the moderator, hope they do something about this.

Bull market isn't over for sure.
I think we're looking at a recovery for at least this month. There's the Chinese New Year factor, which I personally do not really believe in but plenty of other people seem to believe in. It does make a bit of sense, though. Bitcoin has been panic sold from $20k all the way back to $6k, which is honestly quite strange to see. It means that people are dumping too much.
And with the historical bad month of January, it's easy to see bitcoin to recover back up to $10k and make a rally or two in the meantime.
$6k should still be the bottom for a few months, at minimum.
