No. Just NO. That's the biggest mistake you might make! Look at Bitfinex, it got hacked just around half an year ago and people lost $60 MILLION! It doesn't even matter if it's the devs taking the money or real hackers - the money had been stolen by somebody and that's a warning for every future investor! Imagine going to a real exchange and leaving your wallet there because you think it's the safest place - it's not worth it! Although it's harder, you better download the wallet for each Altcoin instead and not risk losing your investments. After you've completed the trade, WITHDRAW!

BU, ETF, Brexit, China, Altcoins, Dutch elections. These are just a few of the factors that changed the Bitcoin price substantially. What I'm afraid of is Dash possibly going over Bitcoin's price, because a free fall is happening right now. The traders are scared. In some way I'm scared too. You just don't have any idea what's about to happen with the markets.. If there were so many decisions in only a few days, I'm wondering what one more similar decision would do to the Bitcoin price and community.

Not sure what is going on, look on CoinMarketCap and you'll see like 90% of the top 100 Altcoins are on negative change in the last 24h. I think China affected the price the most.. My question is how many times will they try to investigate the Bitcoin users..? People are getting afraid of being investigated, and being tracked through Bitcoin is against its core features..

Now it works fine! I tried sorting by recent posts but the last column with the message date confused me. I didn't check the actual messages I got there.

Thank you very much!

Kids and teens will grow up with Bitcoin, in my opinion. They absolutely love technology, we can see that around us. It's impossible to love technology and not hear about Bitcoin, at least once in your life. That's when it becomes interesting for them.

Our userbase is small right now, if we compare Bitcoin to PayPal or any other payment methods. But it's because of the media lying about Bitcoin being the loved currency of the criminals, because of people getting used too much to paper and physically existing money and assets. I'm used to them too, but I find Bitcoin really interesting and a genius idea.

When the kids that are 10-12 years old at the moment will grow up, they'll see a difference. They'll see what Bitcoin is from a totally different perspective, because they'll grow up in a different way than we did. Just like our parents. I am just hoping there's nothing to do against Bitcoin. The governments have enough genius people to think about actions that can be taken against it. Let's hope there is none..

Check the history of the gold price before and during every big war. You'll see changes, positive changes. These changes will happen to Bitcoin too, because now people are finally not willing to go to tracked or centralized assets like Gold which can be tracked (I'm talking about cameras that are around or in that building when you buy it, online orders with delivery to your home etc) or like fiat which is the government's. If you look in the recent years you'll notice that we're starting to hate the governments more and more. That's because we're being monitored more than ever before, and secrets are hidden from us. Secrets we should know about, like the CIA spying on us and so. Who are we to be spied by them? Am I a criminal? Are you a criminal? We aren't, and yet our conversations can be listened by them, our cameras can be turned on by them remotely. Do we feel safe anymore? We don't. So that's why instability is going to come in waves pretty soon: they know we're starting to rise against them.

Bitcoin is like a new gold, but virtual. Except the scenario of a blackout, it will only have to rise during this instability all around the world.

People would still mine it, I don't think they'd stop just because of a big price decrease. In 2015 the price reached ~$250 if I remember correctly, and people were still mining it, and the reason is that they are just sure the price will go high once again and they will make profit off the increase. Mining has always been profitable, unless they exchanged BTC for Fiat immediately after they mined. Bitcoin will never be dead unless nobody will be interested in it ever again. The harder it is to be mined, the higher the price goes up to.

Instability = Bitcoin price increase. Same thing happens to Gold and Silver, which are commodities. Bitcoin is a commodity too now.

The UK leaving the European Union means a price increase for Bitcoin and we'll see that in a few weeks probably. People still do not realize what this means, and it probably means instability in the whole EU. After the UK we may see other countries get out too, turning everything upside down. And then I am asking myself, isn't this exactly what they want?

Look at the altcoins. All the recent events did affect the prices, and the most important ones are the ETF and the Brexit final decisions. Although there wasn't a huge increase in price in the last few days, we've seen some of them spiking (like DASH), while others did fall (like Bitcoin). People are going to invest in BTC because of instability, we all would buy the safest ones. But the millenials will buy Bitcoin because they love technology and it's interesting to have something portable that keeps rising in price, while there will be investors looking for Gold (these are the people with money) and the highest percentage is probably going to be people buying Silver. It's the most affordable for everyone around, and therefore has the highest chance to rise very fast in case something happens.

I did the same thing but luckily I did withdraw before the price fall. This was a scam coin and I cannot believe how the price just jumped by 200% once again.. are people really still buying this scamcoin? I learned my lesson and I won't make this mistake once again: analyze and read about the coin before investing, and also read others' opinions - they really do matter a lot. But the devs aren't active at all, and investors lost their money due to the idiot (I can't call them in any other way) "devs" that are probably still in that "talk with the Indian government"...... now I am starting to question my own intelligence after falling for this. Be more careful next time.

I think holding money on a website is a stupid idea. Especially if it's a trading website that's exposed to hacks, or you can be the one exposed to a scam.

It can be even the best known trading website and it's still not a good idea. The best place to hold your money is in your pocket. When you want to trade it, deposit, trade and withdraw at the end of the session. There have always been known hacks and thefts and criminals aren't always found. Bitfinex is a good example - you don't even know if it was the team that took the money away or a real hack. If it happens, it happens because people are holding their money there as if it was their wallet, not someone's website.

If you use Bitcoin you'd notice the difference on the bills. Add all the sums of your Bitcoin-paid bills and you'd see there are going to be a few dozens or cents or maybe bucks in difference. If your local currency would fall in price a lot, you'd notice higher prices. Why pay them?

Every penny matters.

I thought we were already used to the price falling for some time. There have been many similar situations in the past, so it's not something new. I don't think the price would go down more than to $950. There is manipulation, speculation, the ETF and people trading their profit for fiat. After such a rise, of course investors and traders will change their profit into money to spend it, because that's why you make money out of holding & trading. The price is manipulated either by scams, fake news and similar stuff or by actual news about cryptocurrencies such as Dash possibly overtaking Bitcoin or so.

Get used to them. The price will have decreases but will always increase with more than there has been lost.

Thanks for the replies. I will use the search function for quotes.

EDIT:
I tried it but it shows the quotes sorted descending by relevance which means I can see for example posts from 2015 on the first page.

The ETF affected their prices the most, probably. After Bitcoin was rejected, people went to different other Altcoins to put their money into, and most of them probably went to all the three you have specified above, because they're the ones with the most potential to rise. I just hope it's not a pump and dump thing that will create "chaos" for the investors who put a lot of money in them right now.

I knew Monero will rise, but I didn't know about DASH and ETH. Now I heard about DASH being a scam. Possible, but unlikely in my opinion.. and I hope it's not. There have also been events recently that drove the prices even higher: the Netherlands' elections, the Brexit final vote, the Fed interest rate decision and possibly even others (these are the major ones). Check the Silver or Gold price chart in the last 24 hours! While others are increasing in price, Bitcoin had a small fall because investors are moving to other coins. But don't worry, this will have a recovery. Sooner or later!

Hi,

I rarely used the "Show new replies to your posts" link - does that page show the new posts on the threads in which you've been quoted? Ever since I joined this forum I thought the link sends you just to see new posts on threads you've replied, but what I'm looking for is being notified in case someone quoted you so that I can reply back.

Thank you!

The second option is more likely to be real than the first one (which is only applicable for the scam coins). Governments will have to hunt them down if something goes on like reaching a Market Cap (speaking about ALL the Altcoins + Bitcoin together) of over $100 billion. Gold can still be tracked: there are cameras in the buildings where you're going to buy it, you have to sign your name or you need to type in all your personal data if it has to arrive at your home. Bitcoin can't be tracked that easy. If the Market Cap gets to such a big amount, the govs will have to worry about the insane amount of cash being.. transformed into something anonymous which they absolutely HATE!

Late reply, but this is a very bad idea. I'd never buy a coin when it launches because I know the price is usually fluctuating for a few days and then gets stable. You can be either lucky or unlucky, so you can buy for too much without being able to predict it. Z-Cash somehow "scared" me because many people said it would be better than Bitcoin and that BTC would be overtaken by it. It was not, and Z-Cash was a BIG failure for the first-week investors. I can't imagine buying for 2-3BTC and then the price goes to 0.045BTC. It was an insanely big loss for them, and I bet many are still holding their money hoping for a huge increase in price once again.

I always said that no coin would get past BTC, because BTC was here before any other Coin. It was here before any other one and we see that Dash, for example, has a market cap of +$600 million, which is huge.. and people are still investing in the coin while some are accusing it of scam.

Does it look like this is an Investment Tips forum? It's not - here we are sharing just our opinions about different things.

Cloud mining websites are known to be scams, and those that are legit do not offer you such a big profit over a short time. Yes, one year is a short time to get that much profit. Here I've actually seen great tips I didn't follow and now I regret it. I've seen tips about Altcoin investments and there are many guys here that know what has the potential to go big soon. People are ALWAYS looking for ways to get a lot of money in a short time, which is basically impossible. You just can't, or otherwise nobody would ever have a job again.

If someone has a great "formula" of earning money.. do you really think they will ever share it with anyone? They wouldn't share with anybody, except maybe their family members. These real formulas are hidden but still do not offer such a good profit for doing nothing. Big companies had to start from somewhere, whether it was from 0 and became popular over time or they started with a big budget which boosted their earnings. So I'd recommend you to stay away from these websites that promise you a lot of money for doing no work. They can be just numbers on a screen, something like a mining simulation which later turns out to be just a game that you pay for.

Okay, so now I'm free to "investigate" and try to help you out. No more need to send me a PM, OP!

So your wallet is D6uE21gGRCwE1esvkzNj5N9Y1WPNuYEFjUTFmiG14L25YvWHag19W8rhgFtwb8eKGSBDqNyEzbkedG9 aWvF1DmYpAvmi7kF. But be careful, in the first post you wrote a different wallet (D6uE21gGRCwE1esvkzNj5N9Y1WPNuYEFjUTFmiG14L25YvWHag19W8rhgFtwb8eKGSBDqNyEzbkedG9 aWvF1DmYpAvmi7kX), check the last letter. I also looked up the difference on a website here: https://www.diffchecker.com/2veNTqkc. Make sure you're not mistyping any letter!

There are two different coins: Dash (DASH) and Dashcoin (DSH). DASH is worth approximately $90 at the moment of writing this post, while DSH is worth $0.01. In your original post you said you made the wallet in 2014 while on your second post on this thread you pasted the log which shows the date your wallet was generated (2015-Nov-21).

If you actually bought DASH... On 21st of November 2015 the price was $2.22; are you sure you paid $2220?
If you actually bought DSH, on 21st of November 2015 the price was $0.000865, do you remember paying a sum of approximately $0.865 for your coins?

I generated a few DASH addresses and here is what I found:

• An address has 34 characters and begins with X
• A private key has 51 characters

, while with DSH:

• An address has 95 characters and begins with D6
• A view key has 64 characters

Your wallet address has 95 characters and begins with "D6". This means yours is NOT a DASH wallet but a DSH one. It means you got 1000x $0.01, so $10. You're trying to access your money from a DASH wallet, so it obviously doesn't work.

Bitcoin isn't listed as an illegal investment in my country, so I don't have what to fear. The only fear I can have is the one that they might turn it into an illegal one sooner or later. But until then, I can use it without restrictions. Gold will always be the best investment honestly, because it can be used as a currency in any possible scenario. Bitcoin still has some cons. Just the fact that it is now valued more than gold is doesn't necessarily make it better. For traders, it is. But not for the preppers, for example.
