Who has any thoughts about what is happening on the market now and what to expect in the future?

Why would they accept Bitcoin as a means of payment if there is actually no interest from their customers in the matter? Most perceive Bitcoin as an asset that allows them to profit (short-term and long-term), and a smaller part occasionally use it as a currency. Volatility is not a problem for sellers because everyone uses payment processors that automatically convert BTC to fiat - the problem is fees that can sometimes be significant, and that on-chain transactions are not instant.


I wouldn’t call it an adaptation, they just allow Coinstar to have kiosks in their stores - and it doesn’t matter at all what kind of service is provided at those kiosks, as long as it’s nothing illegal. Here, choose the one you like best -> Starbucks, Lowe's, Wendy's, Kroger, The Home Depot, Shell, Dunkin' Donuts, Subway...

Actually when i see bitcoin and iphone memes these sorts of are which i liked the most :



This makes me wonder the same Iphone 4 is now rarely seen and priced at very low price and even if the same amount have been invested in bitcoin at that time you would now be able to millionaire.Just imagine the returns on both. This is how inflation robs you of purchasing power and the inflationary assets you own devalue so fast and on the contrary basis bitcoin is deflationary and can secure your future.

More and more iphones will be released even after 2140 but no more btc left to be mined and then prices will be unimaginable.So choose wisely these memes are some sort of guiding visuals to be visionary but most of us take it for fun.I can say i am bitcoin holder.

Conclusion: don't waste money on Iphones, buy bitcoins instead.

Just imagine how profitable bitcoin investment could be for those people who compulsively change their Iphones' models every new year when a new one is launched.

I think a better title is 'Coinstar coming to WalMart, machines also sell BTC'
For converting coins to real money Coinstar takes way too much of a cut to be worth it.
Their kiosks do however have to option of some fee free gift cards. If those cards work for you it may be worth it.

For us here with the KYC & high fees it's not worth it for BTC
There are other cheaper ways and there are ways that do not require KYC.

For people who do not know better, yes it's a way to get people in and from there they can learn.

Hyperinflation is going to change everything. It’s happening.

It's mostly the transaction fee that I see being commented particularly on social media. People are saying it's too high. But even so, I think there will still be people buying BTC  from the kiosk. It would be interesting if they bargain that if people submit KYC, they give a bargain price and low transaction fee.

But I'm seeing wallmart going to also adopt BTC which once people buy BTC, they could use the BTC to buy stuff on wallmart.

You also know that we can't just be on the hodling for longer than we can when there are issues of finance all the time. The times are hard and even with censorship transaction, we sometimes have no choice but going through it to safe our heads at such a point when all we have is our hodling in bitcoin but reinvesting is always nice to do. When it comes to health issues IMO we can't keep the hodling on.

Oh my!!!  Holy shit!!!

Do you even believe that a 30% dip (that would be down to around $46k.. which surely would not be the end of the world, for sure) is within reasonable expectations?  I appreciate that you, Wind_FURY, seem to be just throwing that out there as an extreme.. so probably you are not really considering a 30% drop to be too likely.. but it is within the realm of extreme possibilities.. .. in any event.. even the proposition of a 30% drop got my hackles up..

I understand that anything is possible, but we should be considering what are more likely rather than extreme scenarios, even if extreme scenarios are also possible.

I had seen some posts upthread discussing our so far dip (if we want to call it that rather than labelling it as a pause in UPpity), and really if you look at the extreme of the local bottom so far, from $67,017 down to $59,634 we have about a 11% dip, and probably we are out of the noise territory.. so noise might be any dip that is less than 8%.. so we are out of noise territory and nearly into the area that is worthy of writing home to mom.. but not in any kind of panic stage yet.... .. and maybe the meaningful and common dips that attempt to scare the shit out of weak hands would be in the 15% to 25% territory.. and sure I understand that you are getting this 30% number from our previous dips during bull markets.. 30% dips  have not been common..

...but I would still assert that it is less likely to get any kind of dip that is of that extreme while we are passing through noman's land.. which is $55k to $80k... and sure I am not even saying that those considerable dips are not possible because we already know that anything is possible, but the more likely scenario.. especially since we already passed half way through noman's land and also surpassed our previous ATH of $64,895.. would be a continuation of UPpity.. and sure maybe a flash crash down to $55k-ish (which would be 18%-ish).. is reasonably within the cards.. .but anything too much greater than a 18% correction seems to be getting into more extreme scenarios.. and even though I would not rule out the more extreme scenarios from playing out.. I would not be presenting them as "givens" yet.. especially since we have only so far gotten 11% out of the correction, so far.. 18%?  sure.. 30% less likely... going up from here.. sure that would be reasonably within our current BTC price posture, too... Not easy to really know these short-term price directions except of attempting to consider what are more likely what are extreme and.. being prepared for any of the scenarios whether extreme or not.. while maybe not overly anticipating extremes that cause you to look like you are just a crazy nutjob, talking your book, disingenuous or perhaps not really understanding the asset class (king daddy) that you are attempting to analyze (again.. not labelling you, Wind_FURY, as any of these.. just responding to the 30% correction in these here times scenario that you brought up)..  

Nothing like China can take over bitcoin or bitcoin network again, it appeared to novices before that China can be in control of bitcoin, but bitcoin hashrate increased back as many miners left China into another country to mine bitcoin while some mining pools especially in United State increased their mining hashrate.

What this just revealed is that if a country do not support bitcoin, some other countries are supporting it, if mining bitcoin is not allowed in a country or banned, other countries will see it as an opportunity to encourage mining and take advantage of the opportunity.

I will wish many other countries to encourage mining so that USA will not be the new China so that the hashes generation is not congested in a single country.

So I missed out all that drama. Nice real-time tickers, nicer to see the hiccup ongoing, nicest to see that the best the bears and profit-takers can do is a 10% shaving off peak.

Have to admit was expecting price to blow through 70k once new top achieved but I guess we gotta see all kinds of ATH behaviour in this peak's that already done some 1st timers.

Do you think this will be successful?

Also if POS consumes less energy, then wouldn't it be a good idea for Bitcoin to transition to a POS algorithm?

That's not a mini crash, it's barely 3%. I'd say a mini crash is like 20%, and a big crash would be 80%.
It's a hiccup at most

This is funny and I actually also read about that a while ago. I am curious how their relationship actually is because you could say that they are still father and son with just two different opinions. The problem here might be that there is a whole lot of money on the table between them with one bashing the wealth potential of the other. Does anyone know whether have been reports about their stance towards each other?
