I hope that this is true and Jihan will get rekt

Oh, rest assured. Jihan will get his comeuppance soon.

It's just a matter of time at this point, and karma can be a real cunt.

Learned a new word today... Yesterday's one was "ameliorate" from one of JJG's posts. Isn't this thread great?

I really hope Wu will soon get what's coming to him. I hate seeing his coin in 4-digit values...

Guys, have all of you sold your Bitcoin Gold (BTG)?

I'm itching to sell them now, and do the following:

1. Buy Monero,
2. Buy more BTC.

What would you recommend? Should I sell my BTG now, or wait for a pump? And if I should sell now, which one of the two options would you recommend? I know this is altcoin territory, but it feels natural to ask here as I value your wisdom and opinion, and I'm sure many of you HoDL some altcoins in addition to BTC.

So, Bitcoiners, wait or sell your Gold, and what to buy?

aww a depreciating asset, i'm sure they'll be stoked

Awww... I've read this so many times before, in this very forum...

When BTC was at $10 it was way overpriced and we should have sold...
When BTC was at $100 it was a bubble ready to pop and we should have sold...
When BTC was at $1000 it was whales manipulating the price and we should have sold...
Now BTC is at $8000+ it's a depreciating asset and we should sell...
When BTC will be at $25000 [...add FUD text here...]
When BTC will be at $100000 [...add FUD text here...]
...

Verba volant, scripta manent.

Changelly accepts BTG. Has anyone used them? They look reputable, and cool too.

https://changelly.com/

I'm drooling for some more BTC from the BTG airdrop I got today. Or should I wait for an imminent BTG super-pump?

Used them quite a bit. 9/10 always good and reasonably quick. Occasionally they have delays with LTC or even BTC when Jihan Wu decides to play Bitcoin God.

Thanks, good to know. Because Kraken don't list BTG yet, and even if they did, they are almost unusable lately...

Bitcoin down to $8135. Is Bitcoin dying?

Bitcoin up to $8153.  Is Bitcoin a bubble?

Bitcoin still  $8153. Is Bitcoin getting stable?

Bitcoin $8081.  Bitcoin is dead.

I was wondering where those "Is Crypto done?" messages were.  Grin

Let's all pump Doge. Give the dog a chance... Woof woof!

So hey, is super bitcoin an actual thing that someone is making or just a joke?

Who wouldn't want a super one? I love super things. They'll have a super premine too.

And supergirls too. Freshly mined and ready.

Is catching a knife the same thing as buying one where you are from?
Lol too much for me .I'm out of fiat. I'm from uk
In bitcoin we trust
Bitcoin down to $8135. Is Bitcoin dying?

It's dead already.
It's just a matter of spreading the news and it will be worth 0.

 Grin

We're all dead. And we see dead people. And CCMFs and Lambos and shit.

Wow, so much is happening...

So it seems Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is doing well. I guess it's that time of the year again, when I have to fire up my TREZOR and split my coins to get my BTG airdrop.

And now I read about another airdrop, Bitcore (BTX)! How come I missed that?

My plan is this:

1. Create a new recovery seed in TREZOR and move my BTC there.
2. Do the Bitcoin Gold (BTG) splitting on the old (empty of BTC) recovery seed.
3. What do I do to claim my Bitcore (BTX)?

If anyone knows the procedure for BTX, please let us know, I'm sure many of us have the same question.

Thanks!

Go back about 1-2 pp.

Thanks. I did read the pages earlier, but felt the info was a bit confusing on what to do. I read them again now, and I think all info needed is contained in the following steemit page:

https://steemit.com/crypto-news/@xwerk/bitcore-btx-guide-the-2nd-snapshot-for-btc-hodlers-free-btx-or-how-it-works

Will empty my current wallet (seed) of all coins first, and then do the BTG and BTX splitting. Will let everyone know what happened, so that anyone wanting to do the same can have some reassurance on the correct procedure to follow.

I already had the empy wallet for BCH claiming, so i did the BTX one.

Easy pie.

Load BTX wallet, go to console, importprvkey XxXxXx  for the BTC address with funds on 2/11 and bam! BTXs appeared.
Free coins!

Maybe just a few dollars now.. But you can get the weekly airdrops.. and let it be there.. we´ll see in a couple of months.

(Mark this post for future reference and tips to my address in signature.. rofl)

I've just tried to import the private keys from addresses with funds on 2/11 to BitCore-Qt. A small window pops up showing "Rescanning...", and after a minute the console returns "null". No BTX coins appear in the wallet.

The only reason I can think of is that my addresses are all SegWit (beginning with a "3"). Could that be an issue? Anyone has any idea what may be causing the problem?

Damn! We reached 7000 € @ Kraken, followed by a very long vertical drop, which was promptly cancelled out by the Choo-Choo, bringing the price to almost 7000 € again.

CAROLINA!

3. What do I do to claim my Bitcore (BTX)?

From what I see the claim gives 0.5 BTX per BTC, if I'm reading this correctly, and BTX price is ...28$.... so 14$ per BTC. That's not even worth bothering.

Thanks AlexGR, you're right, it's not really worth the hassle. However, since I'm already moving my BTC to another seed, because of the BTG split process, and the old seed (with BTX claim rights) will be empty, it may be worth attempting it, even just for fun.

Oh goody. Another ATH.

Time to pour another cup.  Cool

Forget sleeping... You will stay up and witness this!
All of us.

All hail the Honey BTCadger!

Gentlemen, the Honey BTCadger has done it again...

BTC ATH @ Kraken!

6800 €

He's looking at you! Don't you mess with him...

Full credit for having the vision and sticking to it through some long dark years.

I bought some AEON today for $2.45.  Maybe if I hang onto that for 10 years it will also be worth $8k.  It’s a Monero fork, equivalent to Litecoin.

Bitcoin is still your best bet. It's not too late to make a pisspot full of money just by holding Bitcoin.

When I bought in at $68 I felt like I'd already missed the boat. I was disappointed I hadn't learned of it 6 months earlier when I could have bought for less than a tenth of that. I really wished I'd found out about it when it was worth a few pennies.

Luckily, I realized how important Bitcoin was and didn't panic when it dropped to $50 after hitting $266. Instead I bought more.

Same thing during the long bear market following the Gox implosion. I kept buying all the way down and on every dip on the way back up. I amused myself through the tough times by sparring with Bitcoin-hating trolls like Notlambchop and Matthecat.

I shrugged off the loss of 50 coins to MtGox even though it raised the average cost of my other coins up to close to $200. I've kept buying the dips all the way up since then. Now my average cost is over $300 per. I'm still buying, except that now I'm buying a tenth of a coin at a time instead of ten at a time.
_____

I can see how some people feel it's too late to buy in. They said that at $30, again at $300 and again at $3000. They'll say it again at $30,000 but when John Mcafee avoids fellating himself on national television, people will be envious of those who bought for "only" $30k just as they are now envious of those who only paid triple digits.  It's all relative.
_____

I really don't see any current altcoin having the potential for growth that Bitcoin has. It's open source, its network is the biggest computer force in history, and  it has the advantage of being first.

The reason for the early success of Litecoin was that it extended the life of pre-ASIC mining equipment but most people mined it to buy Bitcoins.

Ethereum promised smart contracts but it was basically a scam on Vitalik Buterin's part to weasel other people out of their bitcoins by pre-mining and then holding the first ICO, payable in Bitcoin. Eventually the smart contract function will be added to Bitcoin via sidechains.

While there are some attempts at creating a revolutionary blockchain-based currency (especially in seeking anonymity) most are just lame me-too attempts.

IMHO only Bitcoin holds the potential to keep showing the gains we've seen these last 8-9 years. We may have missed the innovator stage of the adoption curve but we're still in the early-adopter phase. Just wait until we get to the early mainstream stage. It's not too far off.

Very well said. I entered at $200 and have to pinch myself every morning to check that I'm not still dreaming... Those reading your post will do good taking your advice.

I've posted this before. I wonder how it is possible for anyone who has read the official Bitcoin Cash's "Letter from the CEO" (link below), to keep supporting this joke of a coin...

https://www.bitcoincash.org/letter-from-the-ceo.pdf

It's mind-boggling to say the least. But then again, the brain is a complicated organ, that can often fail and make someone do all sort of weird things. "Live your own fantasy" as they say...  Shocked

Just FYI, quoting from the website of SatoshiLabs (creators of TREZOR). Looks like TREZOR owners may be able to claim their Bitcoin Gold airdrop as soon as tomorrow (Monday, 20 November)!

Quote
Will TREZOR Wallet support Bitcoin Gold?

UPDATE: Bitcoin Gold seems to have implemented replay protection. We will now begin developing support in the Wallet and a method to split the coins. Bitcoin Gold network is not live yet, only the testnet is running. The automated coin-splitting tool will, most likely, be adapted to support BTG too.

UPDATE (13 Nov): Bitcoin Gold finally released their source code allowing us to develop our infrastructure. The network is, however, not stable yet. More information will come as we progress.

UPDATE (16 Nov): We have successfully synchronized our Bitcoin Gold backend server and are now steps away from releasing full support. BTG will be included in the next firmware update, after the implementation is thoroughly tested by our team.

UPDATE (17 Nov): Release is planned for Monday, 20 Nov.

Guys, we have a green vertical!

CAROLINA?

Edit: I really expected blood this weekend. I'm not complaining. I hope the BCH cancer is cleared away soon, and for good.
