♯ I prefer to save the wallet in a virtual machine and protect the wallet file with a zip password ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Not good idea your vps will not stay for a long time unless if you have lots of money to pay for yearly and its still needs backup your wallet.. better to use common wallet in your pc.. and make a backup in your drive D. Virtual Machine (VM) != Virtual Private Server (VPS) And not none of these are better, you are still using a hot wallet no matter if you move it to drive D or VM or a VPS. Just use cold storage and be done with it instead of making it too complicated for yourself. Cold storage is useful just for storage. For normal use it's better to have a desktop wallet at least, or a mobile wallet. I would NEVER trust a VPS though. Anything that stays online can disappear. You need to back up your private key(s) no matter where you store the addresses..

Atleast think before saying Marketing maybe was just average 20k for 37,532,331,339 XRP is too much atleast for a year or two think if XRP would be 20k it market capital would be roughtly 50% of BTC No marketing would make it achievable unless.... Appreciate the Tradingview link. I've been watching XRP for a while. Its an interesting project but sometimes I'm concerned at their lack of real information. Every few months they announce that some bank is using Ripple, but don't seem to give many details. Hopefully this is a project that is actually seeing growth and development, and not just vaporware.
I think a solid project, but the marketing is very weak, XRP would be above 20K if the marketing worked well. Not with the projects coming up for it. Ripple is still cheap, in my opinion. Even for those who bought it at $0.06, it was still cheap. I see it having the most potential out of all cryptocurrencies. I do not think it will get past BTC in terms of price, but in terms of market cap... Who knows?! No other cryptocurrency has been planed to work in a bank, by the banks. Now add banks to the altcoin and you'll get some pretty huge transactions every day. The big disadvantage is that there is going to be no anonymity. When you work with banks you cannot be anonymous. But for this, we will have paper wallets and so. What I'm wondering is.. will we be able to send from anonymous wallets to bank accounts? One of the ends will be unknown. Not that I'm going to use banks for Ripple, but we still need to find more about the new system. Anyways.... I see XRP up +200% in months.

Bitcoin was something completely new, can we expect another one?
There's a lot of it already in the market, most of us will stick in bitcoin and will keep trading just for the profit of bitcoin. It's better to stick with the coins that are listed with the highest market cap or those that are listed in coinmarketcap.com that is better to depend on it. Don't expect another one as there are some that are existing. You never really know when a great idea shines up. Like Bitcoin did, others can too. There are billions in this world and everyone is different.. We've seen great projects, maybe some of them are even better than Bitcoin is. But the fact that BTC was the first one gave it an advantage that will always carry with it: the trust. It's like an online shop: you're used to a great, big online shop that you knew ever since you started using the internet and you find another store that sells cheaper, but it's one you never heard of. Will you trust it as much? Any project can turn into something HUGE. It's just about us now finding it, and it could be Ripple. Banks adopting it most probably means a big rise coming soon.

Dont look at it that way. Think in terms of percentages. i.e. 1 bitcoin going up $1000 (100%), is the same as having 1000 of x coin thats currently $1 and have that going up $1 (100%). No difference.
You're right, but it's way easier for a $1 coin to go up to $2 than a $1k coin going up to $2k. If you invest right now in Ripple for example, a single penny would make a big change.

I'm planning to invest some money in a few Alts and I don't know which one to choose. From your perspective, which could be the best investment for this year?
I would prefer a coin that is less than $5.. Decred, for instance, is too expensive at the moment and may not be worth the investment (I'd need hundreds to feel a change, in comparison to Ripple for example, which requires a pretty small investment for a big profit in return for every penny).

I deposited +$100 on the website one hour ago and the money has been WITHDRAWN right now, what's going on?! Here's the address: https://blockchain.info/address/1Q7bsbpyVTwiixjpyAdvy9UjPVDgNGaKuCEDIT: Everything is fine. My pending transaction has been confirmed after I sent a support ticket. It was a very fast response (they replied in a matter of a few minutes). Reading some reviews while waiting for the confirmation was a tough time - I thought my money is gone, lol. Thanks for the support!

Hello,
I deposited some BTC on C-CEX. The transaction has been confirmed by over 4 times on Blockchain, but the website still shows 0/2 confirmations. Does anyone else here know what's going on with it?
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I would like to start trading in the following days because of Brexit and I'm going to try to make some profit. So let's say I got like >50 different Altcoins printed out on a paper..
The question is, how do I exactly spend that money in general? Can I import it in some way through the downloadable wallets or? What are the ways you know you can import an address in a downloadable wallet? If something happens, I'd like to act quickly.
Thanks for the help!!

So.. If you found an exploit, would you publish it? It's pretty obvious that it's a scam. If anyone would have found such an exploit, they'd use it to become multi millionaires and then they would never share it to others. It's like telling people you could go and rob a store for them if they paid a fee so you can profit out of it too... ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Good news dude ! Bitcoin price is recovering little by little . From 950 $ some hours ago to 1066$ now ! Buy now till it's under 1100$. https://blockchain.info/marketsGood news but dont rejoice too much because bitcoin price that you are rejoicing over that is going higher might just take the reverse bearing within the twinkle of an eye. Although I am equally happy with the ways things are turning out but I dont want to keep my hopes high since I dont want to be disappointed at the end of the day. Lets just keep our hands fold and see how things will turn out. Well, seems that the prices did recover a bit but we aren't in the clear yet right now. Though I would say that this is totally caused by people moving into alt-coins and because the prices did not follow the rise of the alt-coins this is the effect on bitcoins. It's a delay in the price drop, but we had it coming. Chill, we will never see instant, big price changes unless a big event happens that determines the price to rise by a huge amount. It will slowly recover and then it will go up by more than there was lost. Just as a reminder, Brexit is incoming. This will shoot the price up by even more than there has been lost.

As Coin Cloud Moves To Spread Bitcoin ATMs Across The United States. Considering the emerging opportunities in the US for Bitcoin as an alternative financial option, as proven by the activities of already installed BTMs, Coin Cloud plans to continue its rapid expansion nationwide.
With over 15 Bitaccess BTM kiosks, Coin Cloud claims to be the largest Bitcoin ATM (BTM) operator on the west coast.
YES YES YES, but I hope its not too expensive to use it. If transaction fees are same as fiat or maybe close to it and not too high, BTMs are perfect, they are a requirement. And they will invite the masses to use bitcoin and people will actually start using it when they see a few BTMs around. As it will make the bitcoin look more user friendly, feasible and people will also start to learn about its benefits over fiat. Although many ATMs around sounds great, it has a big disadvantage that I fear a lot: security cameras. It's not about stealing but revealing my identity. As soon as I joined Bitcoin I knew I'd always be hidden from the public, from the governments. I have not joined Bitcoin to work with it like with any other bank around.

Impulsive gambling is what happens to me all the time when I receive my campaign pay out directly to my Bitsler account. I play around 10%-25% of my earnings and the rest I keep it for the rainy days. Another time when impulsive gambling hits me is when I see the price of BTC reaching the roof, I play and see if luck is on my side.
Well... You saved Bitcoin and the price reached the roof then isn't the luck already on your side? Gambling itself has been made for the company's profit, not for ours.. So yeah, you need luck to win ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) and there are some rigged websites that change to a lower chance automatically when you reach a certain bet amount, so that you can lose way easier. Bitsler shouldn't be one of them, but there are many around that aren't popular yet. Gambling with your earnings.. I don't know if it's a good idea.

Can somebody handsome tell me the normal rate of the exchange rate of most websites now?
normal rate bitcoin price this now 1000 - 1020 dollar and average all exchanger bitcoin price is same if you want the best rate now you can check in vip.bitcoin.co.id , but in there only accepted in local curency indonesian rupiah Preev and CoinMarketCap are the best ones for price checking. The price is fluctuating between $950 and $1100, it won't go lower than that for sure.. I'm really afraid of a big fall, it could lead to the disappearance of Bitcoin because miners are here for profit, not for free work! The premium Bitcoin is a great thing for traders, but I don't think it is fair. Some people from India don't even have what to eat..

Maybe a 3 or a 4. Online wallets are only useful for short time transactions, such as going to an ATM near you, depositing money and quickly sending it to someone else like paying something online. For storage, use paper wallets. If you need the money it takes seconds to import the wallet on Blockchain from your phone.
Online wallets aren't safe. You never know what the admin plans to do, what things are hidden from us. Maybe they own all the private addresses and want to run with the money. Paper is easy to hide and the most secure.

while bitcoin itself could continue to operate run by someone, somewhere as long as the internet still runs, the state could wield huge control over bitcoin's utility.
all they have to do is kill off all the exchanges, prosecute the publicly known developers and companies and suddenly alot less people will decide it's worth anything to them.
you can't kill bitcoin. you can probably as good as kill the demand and utility.
As soon as they let some companies run with Bitcoin accepted as a payment method, it's not going to happen too soon. They can't back it off now, it's too late. What they can do is just keep throwing rocks at Bitcoin through the mainstream media so people will get afraid of investing in it, and investors will leave. China successfully did that in the past months. But even without exchanges Bitcoin trading is still gonna happen. You can find people in your area that want to sell or buy Bitcoin pretty easy.

At the moment I have a very small amount of my funds in bitcoins. Not because I wouldn't want to have more but at the moment my only source of bitcoins is signature campaign and I don't buy coins because the price is high. I would like to change that in the future and have at least 20% of funds in bitcoins.
The price is high? It's never high, I mean we're not talking about something that can be consumed (say a can of coke) and its price rose too much. It's Bitcoin, you buy it and it rises most of the time. People including me are regretting for not buying at a cheaper price (even when it was $250 back in 2015), what if you'll regret too? You can just allocate a small percentage of your earnings for Bitcoin and you'd be fine. Do never risk in just one place - the more risks you split your investments into, the less chances there are to fail!

Title. Are you guys also getting crazy? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) (About BTC dive) You shouldn't. Don't sell, you may regret it.. just my opinion though, do whatever you want. Almost everytime I'm buying something I'm buying it for too much, and almost everytime I'm selling something.. oh well, I'm doing it right before the price skyrockets. This happened to me quite a lot of times with Bitcoin. I think we should take no action at the moment, the markets are too shaky. We've seen similar falls and then the price shot up once again. Just check the all-time charts and you'll see what I'm talking about! I won't sell mine, I will just hold.

$800 soon... Then $200 ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Just my opinion ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) It's only going to stay in the $950-$1100 range until the Chinese stuff chills down. People will still find a way to get Bitcoin without identification. Why would they need to be identified? If a million people are going to buy BTC they're going to enter a database.. and what can they do after that? Lol, this is the process of de-anonymization created by them. - Xi Jinping said he wants to be the New World Order's boss
- China investigated BTC months ago over 2 times
- China now imposes a new rule making the exchanges ask people to identify themselves
As the New World Order "conspiracy theory" says, they do NOT like anonymity. They want everything under control to manipulate us and to give us orders, not the opposite. If everyone used Bitcoin it'd be way better in this world. As a coincidence, all this "New World Order" invented stuff is just becoming more and more real.. Just don't identify yourself. If you can't go to exchanges to buy BTC without identification, find someone in your area that wants to sell their Bitcoin and trade with him. We probably won't see a $200 price anymore. That would mean a BIG scare for traders and investors, and the possible fail of Bitcoin. It's just going to keep rising.
