Obviously central bank officials will take an opposing position regarding Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, but that doesn't mean they can't change their mind in a flash. We've seen some precedents in the institutional world (eg. JP Morgan).

According to my analysis from a medium timeframe perspective Bitcoin is staying right at a converging support between some EMAs, horizontals and a broken channel/wedge (however you want to call it). If the price breaks below $33k-$33.1k I'd look for a down move to around $31k, but the daily looks quite constructive. I won't be surprised if we make another sweep to the lows, but the probability is on the upside in my opinion.

There have been lots of signals and pump & dump groups created along the time, especially in the crypto space which is quite unregulated. However it is very hard to influence the price anymore especially on higher capitalized coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, LTC. Unless you are an ultra high net-worth individual or you represent an off-shore hedge fund which does not have to obey strict regulations regarding the assets and actions you can take on the market, you should take your thought from this kind of actions. Personally I discourage both pump&dump and signals groups. Besides being illegal, a lot of beginners get caught in this schemes and lose important sums of money.

Hello there!

Kindly check the posts on the lasts one-two pages of this thread. Most probably you need to swap your coins to the new blockchain. For more assistance I encourage you to join the Stratis discord group and check the blog on the official website. That's where most of the community hangs around.

Retail investors should really stop try finding the exact reason why a certain asset price has surged or dumped in the short term. The answer is universal: There has been an imbalance between buyers and sellers. If you are knowledgeable about technical analysis or at least know how to read a line chart you can observe that right before the upwards movement we were at a very strong support - EMAs, horizontals, diagonals and price action were all indicating that there is a high probability that a lot of buyers will enter some positions here.

Elon Musk tweet do hold some weight and with the latest happenings in the institutional space you can say that some hedge fund managers might have created a strategy around his tweets, but it is highly unlikely and not a robust strategy to follow.

There aren't many. To my knowledge only Craig Wright is the clown who mislead people being an impostor. People who are looking for fame are no good. Do we need to find who is the real Satoshi Nakamoto? - Not at all. The code is there, the code is working and has been audited and used for over 10 years.

Bitcoin is a masterpiece of the Information Era.

I don't believe in DOGE. It is a meme cryptocurrency that gained traction just because of it was one of the firsts and it has that shiba symbol. It's a shame that money stays blocked in a lot of worthless altcoins.

You can call me a Bitcoin maximalist, but when you create a cryptocurrency that does not bring any added-value to the table, that's called a lower quality copy-cat. Most probably, Elon Musk is playing with DOGE as a hobby and also to make an extra buck for fun.

Regarding your hypothesis: I don't think Earth will become the planet of the poor, quite the contrary. It will cost a lot of money to transfer people and things to other planets. And who wants to live on a red planet instead of a beautiful "blue" planet? 

Solutions are being developed. At my current technical level I see Segwit as the first technology "layer" to reduce fees and the Lightning Network as the second one. Both of them need increased adoption.
Bitcoin blockchain is perfect as it is and the fees should regulate themselves.

Here's how the miners economy work at a very high level. Crypto mining companies purchase rigs from different vendors. They have to support the purchase price, electricity fees, space leasing and staff. Those are their costs. Now they need to cover those costs with the mining fees and also get a little extra surplus - most companies are made for profit. So if the bitcoin price increases, miners would naturally require less satoshis to cover their expenses so they are going to mine lower fee transactions as well. On a statistical level fees that network users pay should decrease in BTC terms as the Bitcoin price against USD goes up.

I hope my explanation helps is not too confusing.

Congratulations for being a patient investor, man. I hope all those who doubted you will recognise that they're wrong and not turn their backs on you.

I wouldn't get informed about Bitcoin from Instagram though, but from more reliable sources.

Here's another one: study human behaviour and realise that looking so often at your portfolio does not only mess with your mental state, but with your productivity as well. Not even talking about eyes haha

PRO TIP: Can use price alarms if you're anxious about your portfolio, but again you should not be afraid that you're going to lose your money. Know your risk tolerance and allocate your net worth accordingly.

They are not dreamers, but probably they're desperate to keep up and don't know what to do. Anyways I'd be glad if they replace the current fiat system with cryptocurrencies. This way perhaps the way governments are spending will be more transparent, but I think blockchain tech could be applied to the current banking system. So I don't really see a need for a centralized cryptocurrency.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. An investigative journalist working for a big publication would get a big promotion if he would be the first to publish something like this. Otherwise, if he is working as a private investigator he would surely get a lot of publicity and gig/job offers.

The thing is knowing how to make money does not bring you respect. Intelligence and creating impact on the society through different "purposeful" activities is what brings the true respect of the people.
When you know how to make money people will follow you just because they don't know how to get more.

People will always follow the money, but most of them will be too late.

IMO an investor is a financially educated and conscious man. In a perfect world each one of us should be an investor, be it a hands-on one or someone who allocates his capital and trust to experimented investors.

The difference as I said before is education, but there is also the mindset part. If you want to be an investor you've got to think about the future and not dump all your wage into day-to-day necessities and wishes. Every penny invested wisely could compound in generational wealth. I suggest your reflect and build upon that thought. Cheers!

I'd say that as a trader you don't want to take more than 1-2% risk per trade if you are trading on the short term.

As far as I have noticed most of the time altcoins go down against BTC when BTC is pumping against USD. That is due to traders wanting to profit from the BTC move and of course FOMO.
When BTC dumps usually people lose trust in altcoins as well. At least lately altcoins seem to rise when Bitcoin is consolidating.

Nobody in here can give the right advice for YOU as only you know your financial status, personal desires, goals and risk profile/tolerance. 0.0003 BTC is only worth about 10 bucks at the moment. Maybe in your country with that you can buy your living for a few days, but in USA is nothing.

Bitcoin could be worth a lot more in the future though. It depends on your opinion about BTC. Do you think it will become the number 1 resort for storing value? Do you think it will become the mainstream currency for payments?

I'm wondering how inheritance would work. I mean if you share your private keys with your children before you die, they can move them to another wallet before you die and you would never know if it was them who did it.

The only solution I can think of is a sophisticated smart contract that gets activated only with a code on a testament or something like that.
