I'm hunting for a red month... I was doing some analysis a while back and I think the last bull market saw 9 green candles (this is anywhere between 8 or 10 months due to the timing of the close I used). So far we're on 3 successive green closures, if it lasts a similar time to last then that puts us at May-August if a red doesn't come around (although there's suggestions bull times get longer and longer as bitcoin ages - as bitcoin ages it fundamentally becomes more bullish as it remains secure and maintains its reputation).

We don't know when to do this and this is the problem with trading speculative assets. You can make a decent return by deciding WHEN you want to pull out price wise or coin wise - last bull run i pulled some when we were half down from the ath (was still a decent gain).

Realistically i think if bitcoin starts to fall and the dominance follows suit (falls to 60% or something) its probably a good idea to sell. I'm not sure if anyone's checked but a little after bitcoin reaches a peak (say 3 days) if trading sideways, you might make more converting to alts and waiting for the sideways continuation to be over.

You haven't actually said where you're from?

If you made less than a certain amount of income from mining at the time the coins were mined them you don't have to have declared them as income (the threshold for a declaration is £1000 in the UK for example).

You normally don't need to provide evidence you've been holding the assets for a long time but thisight change based on the tax system - for example the irs in the US might expect such evidence to be attached. There is normally a field on a tax return where you are optionally able to explain where the funds came from - you can use this space to free up obscirities normally..

The major resistance zones I see are:
28000-30000
26000-28000 (overlaps with above so the area above 28000 probably won't be well protected of we start to decline by a few 000).
21200-24300

And then 18-20..id say a drop below 18k by now is especially unlikely unless something major happens but a drop to 20-24k may still be quite likely.
Though we could end up just going straight up...

But a 51% attack has nothing to do with the number of blocks, it has to do with the hashing power and target at the time the chain was forked.

Yeah it's being used for seoing. They get deleted pretty fast anyway. Hopefully they're deleted before a crawler reaches them.

2. It was probably closed on the other peers end while you were offline for the safety of both parties.

1. You can do a CPFP on the transaction by working out the address it was credited to (addresses tab) > right click > spend from and send the funds with a higher fee to an address you control.

25 blocks is, on average, 250 minutes - - > 4.16667 hours. It was an attempt to make it less arbitrary as a number of blocks and convert it to time.

Like the others have said but the slider positioned furthest to the left is coming up with a best guess fee to get the transaction confirmed within 5 hours.

Democratic governments should act:
    When they feel like they've lost control
    When they feel control is needed
    When they feel control would be not too difficult to implement (benefits of implantation v its cost and complexity).

A site like PH is much easier to take control of than bitcoin for example (of you reread the bottom part of your post, you can change the subject to bitcoin and it may still fit since governments can't control it well).

I paid $4 for a fast conf yesterday.

Can you see a slider on electrum? If you slide it all the way to the left you should be able to spend with a lower fee. You can also go to preferences >fees > set fees manually and then check on a website what it recommends as a fee for a confirmation in a few hours (just search for the website there's a lot of them).

So you somehow think the sec filing against xrp will have an impact on the dollar? Why?

Cryptocurrencies are a tiny part of the financial world and xrp already looked badly managed by the core development team who looked to have given up on the coin a while ago... 

I think this is what dai, usdc and usdt are for. You can convert to those and store them on a ledger nano (if you're able to use it with metamask or myetherwallet).

You could also check the fees using normal coinbase (non pro) with a debit card if you have one and see how long that takes to process.

Use normal coinbase to convert fiat to usdc or dai to pay low fees.

I thought Dec 2017 saw btc dominance rise to between 86 and 90%? I know it's been there at some point anyway so it could be the same again... I remember it dropped quite far in January 2018 though.

I'd wait for eth to fall to 0.017-0.02 btc before you buy if you want a bit more security but I don't look at that pair very much.

It's bad for crypto but it's also what could've been done with cash.

I think it's up to governments and the legal system to deal with this sort of thing though as the same thing could've happened with cash or bank transfers(like cheques where it's possible to get someone else to cash it). Fundamentally, people live somewhere and have to answer to the legal systems they're in. It's going to be much better to get a site like PH banned by firewall from the country if it doesn't agree with that country's legal system). As long as it's not in a "grey" sector and is perfectly illegal then a country should be able to facilitate its ban or enforce against people accessing it.

It'll probably be a year for both.

I suspect people trading things like Elliott waves or even "buy the dip" strategies might do quite well this year.

I think if we see like 2017, we won't go back. The $40-$60k region is what I suspect we'll go back to if we do make it up past $250k. So if it does that then holders will see a 100% return even without doing much more.

(These are my current ASSUMPTIONS so far I wouldn't recommend people speculate based on them - because I'm not). 

But why?

You could always make one of these yourself an dpish it out for adoption without much changes or code need but it probably won't be worth anything.

You'd also need a function that stops someone from making an infinite number of wallets and sending the coins to their main one...?

I'd double check on the fees before sending now as they're quite volatile.

I paid 93 sats per byte nlyesterday to end up 47mb from the tip of the mempool (at the time of sending that was considered enough to get confirmed in the next block and then there was a spike). 

No one'll buy it though? People will just cut it out of their diet or use something else. If milk goes up, the price of a cow goes up so more people with enough land will buy a cow to produce milk and more milk hitting the shelves will knock down its prices.

Both people with a good background and understanding of finance and those who don't participate didn't notice much as a whole imo. People with a bad background, sold the bottom or sold the decline near the bottom - or didn't buy back low enough.

There are people with econlics or finance degrees that don't think inflation exists so I wouldn't generalise all of them as rational.

Your last sentense doesn't seem to make sense though?
