Yes definitely, pump & dumps just devalue Bitcoin as a whole, plus it undermines the stability gained in the past months. How can we expect common people using a currency that (only in a week) can change so much in value.

As you said, the rise should be slow and steady. I don't mind some small pumps in value, we all win there of course, but this last one was shameless.

I'm interested but you don't have any trust and you are a relative new user here. What kind of collateral can you provide?

I see many users coming back to this campaign and I'm sure it is because there is almost nothing better than Seconds Trade. I've been part of this for 3 weeks or so and I can say the payment is always on time and support is great. I didn't like the cut on prices (considering now BTC price has dropped) but this is still one if not the best campaign to join in this forum.

I don't think it will fall that far but with Bitcoin we have to be open to every possibility. I think it found a nice support at $300 and a huge pump will eventually happen before the end of the year.

Nice spread, I might give it a go. Looking at the upcoming schedule when do you guys think the Warriors have a chance to lose in the next weeks?

Yes I did place a lot of bets on the Warriors early on but right now it just not worth it what they are paying (1.05 and similar) and it's perfectly understandable. They are in complete control of every game. But compared to the Cavs which only lose to the Bulls by 2 points at the start, they are more reliable. The Cavs as you said are a little shaky overall with the injuries of Shumpert and Irving and new additions that are playing well but are still trying to fit (Jefferson and Mo Williams).

Like I said if you have faith in them, a good strategy would be betting on them making a comeback later on the game since they always start slow from all the matches I watched.

Wow that sucks indeed. Cleveland is a risky team to bet on compared to the Warriors and they are paying similar. A good idea is waiting until the match starts since the Cavs seem to start very slowly and start to play in the 3rd quarter or later. That's if you play money line.

It's incredible that there are still not easy and quick ways to purchase Bitcoins worldwide. I know it's easier on Coinbase and similar but it's not available in every country. The rest of us have to go to questionable exchanges and procedures. I feel this is one of the main cons of Bitcoin going mainstream (we can leave common people trying to understand the wallet with decimals and technical key stuff for another thread)

That's not a bad idea in your case, I would do it. I'm not currently speculating in the short term, I've bought at $230 not so long ago but I won't sell in the near future. My idea is to earn BTC not really buy with fiat, I know it's a slow process but if it goes to the moon as we say, then eventually 1-10 BTC will be a lot of money. Currently it's too volatile and risky to invest thousands on dollars for me.

If it goes below $300 many people will start to buy and counteract the fall. I think I'll only buy at around $250 but if it falls that much without any explanation then I'll reconsider what is actually happening, it can go even lower

Thanks!

It's going down today but I'm confident that if it's gets a little lower then we'll see another pump with prices skyrocketing to around $550.

I'm interested, hit me up PM style!

There was not a single indicator for the price increase really, some say China but we can pinpoint it to something in particular. Bitcoin price can be easily manipulated if some big shots enter the scene. They can actually buy a huge % of it in a day and create a huge wave.

I've being saying that Bitcoin will only flourish when it can become a standard for a particular niche. Perhaps its destiny is forcing Western Union out of business or something similar, but only when something like that happens (and demand increases because it'll be really needed for something and not just to speculate with) only then it will skyrocket.

Nobody knows for sure, but my guess is close to $1000 similar to the '13 bubble.

Again, I sound like a broken record hehe but I don't really see the Warriors losing at home. The Pistons are ok and off to a good start, but come on. Either way the times were Warriors paid 1.25 or more (I've won betting on them against the Pelicans for example) are over. Now it pays nothing and it's understandable.

I won't bet on the underdogs (tonight is the Pistons) because it may take 10 home games to see the Warriors lose at the Oracle...perhaps even more.

Exactly, I would hold at $1.000 but $10.000 would be too much temptation. I think we all want to hold until we become wealthy or millionaires but realistically speaking many of us would give in at those values.

In theory I would definitely aim for $100.000 or more.

Not yet confirmed but I've received, just keeping everyone posted.

Well in my case it was marked paid just an hour ago or so. Are there any others in the same situation? People that got "paid" yesterday actually got paid?

Mine is also marked paid but I didn't receive it either, I'm sure it's just a small delay.
