Even with this, it's not fine, it's just that the power itself is coming from a better source -- though a massive amount of power is actually being used, it's just from a better source. So yes, Bitcoin is helping to increase pollution -- but it's nowhere near the amount that the largest polluters, cows and other livestock, put into the environment.

This is why other coins tout the ability to use less power though the only time this will matter is if bitcoin gains a global foothold.

He without a doubt did this to be able to help someone else or even himself by buying the dip, people like them abuse their positions of trust in peoples eyes to be able to make a good amount of money with their FUD. They've been doing it for years and they won't stop -- the only time they'll stop is when the people notice the lies that bankers and the MSM have perpetrated on us for TOO LONG.

What a shitty person. -- changes his view in about a week.

Meh, kinda worthless to do this if you want to know about the actual tech beind it. You're going to go 10x more into bitcoin then needed if you want to just learn about the tech itself, just look up some stuff on google and youtube about the blockchain and you'll find it fairly quickly -- not too hard.

It's a wonderful innovation, hoping it spreads to many different industries.

They're as anonymous as you make them. If you go ahead and buy bitcoins on an exchange where you're tracked, post your address alongside your name, and so on and so forth you're of course going to be easily tracked as all of this can be used alongside blockchain analysis to see what you're doing online.

If you buy your BTC in cash, dont associate yourself with your wallet information, use tor/ vpn services for wallets then you'd be MORE anonymous. So, it's up to you.

Best place is going to be two places actually, it's going to be right in the start of the ICO stage (given it's a good idea, good team, etc) and the other time is going to be right after the dump on the exchanges, as the people who participated in the ICO want to see some of their money so this brings on a ton of people trading instantly their coins. Buying on the dump is pretty solid, as the value goes up drastically after this time -- in most cases this is, not all.


So, two as I said.

I know CMC came out with a reason and said that it was because of divergence of pricing in the Korean markets with Bitcoin and all of the other coins, but this isn't something that I full beleive as to the reason that they did this so abruputly. Wouldn't it make sense to tell traders what's happening before they see the price crash and think something crazy is happening in the markets?

I just think as a company they screwed a good portion of the crypto community -- making a good amount of people lose some money. Hopefully they'll come out with an apology.

What do yall think?

The number that you're thinking about isn't 3000, it's $10000. That's the number that financial institutions in the United States make you fill out forms to know what you're doing with this money, as they want to know what the hell is going on with that big sum of money being transferred around.

But no, this isn't the case when it comes to ICOs and KYC as you're buying Bitcoin and not transferring that large sum of money to somebody -- you're actually buying something. Though I must say that it's pretty crazy the amount of ICO's are complying with the KYC regulations by the SEC.

I mean while it will be possible, the big problem is moving the money out of Korea and into the United States. As I doubt the Korean government is going to want Crypto gained Fiat cash moving in and out of their banking systems, seems like a waste for them to let people flood their markets just to kill the price. It's probably best for them at the moment to slowly let arb traders in, as at the moment if they were to let them in it would kill the traders who make money in Korea and provide taxes for the government over there.

But yeah, try your luck dude, worst case you won't be able to do it.

None of the big exchanges are going to be good if you want to buy fast, they're going to save you a good bit of money and you're not going to get scammed on them but I ASSURE YOU it will take a good amount of time to get verified and all that jazz on them. So just disregars anyone who brings up the big players.

If you want to buy BTC fast, you're going to need to work with another person. Use any site for this, be it Paxful,LocalBitcoins, or even the exchange section on here. It's going to cost you a bit more in fees and you have to do your own due dilligence, but that's how it has to go if you want things done switftly.

Goodluck!

I mean in my view if this happened it would only last for a small amount of time, as I cant see something like this lasting for more then a couple of minutes. Because once something like this was to happen it would freak everyone in Crypto and probably cause a mass ETH selloff, as people would think that ETH is massively overvalued as it still wouldn't be Bitcoin -- the big grandaddy of investing and crypto.

People do like change, but losing Bitcoin as the #1 and the #1 on price isn't something that I would think people would be too keen on. There would be massive resistance and the massive price drop of ETH after this.

I was actually just reading an article like this, where people get too consumed with the price itself and fail to look at PERCENTAGE gains -- which are of course everything when it comes to investing.

But yes, people now think that because all of these new alts are hitting the top 10 and are overtaking one another (all while increasing in alts market cap) But most of the coins that are new in the top 10 have NO ACTUAL USAGE - Tron, XRP, etc.

Bitcoin is the only thing here that matters, you MUST remember that.

The article is fine, so is the service. The only problem for people is that they don't want someone else FULLY being able to control their Bitcoins as they have ZERO access to the private keys while someone else has full access to them. Just to think about it for a second, you're putting all of your money up to be lost just to make a small 4 percent a year? I think people could live without this money to just feel safer by owning their keys.

On the side of the article though, it's good, keep pushing on blogging!

While it is a good idea to go to lesser known alts, the problem is that there isn't as many arbitrage opportunities as most usually for lesser known alts not many exchanges are supported


Though back on what OP said about Arbitrage, it's not for people that are just trying to do it with small amounts of money. If it was, you'd see SO many people (including myself) getting involved and then it wouldn't be as profitable as it seems to be.

This really does highlight the stupdity of people, these are the same people who go ahead and think that Bitcoin is going to 1M and they need to get in now. They probably don't even know anything about Bitcoin in the least though they think this is the path to finally making millions. I guess they'll be surprised when they get fully fucked as Bitcoin is taking a bit of a downturn -- at least from 20k


It's sad that this is the type of lesson that people need in order to not use margin to invest or to GAMBLE (as Crypto is basically gambling)

Here you are - https://news.bitcoin.com/after-the-boss-calls-bitcoin-a-fraud-jp-morgan-buys-the-dip/

I mean it's not surprising to see people from banking reacting like this, either they're scared that Bitcoin and the alts are going to take from them OR they know the position of power they have with their clients so they can buy the dip and try to make some money for themselves. This is horrible behavior when looking at it from an ethics standpoints, but the scum is probably pretty known already to everyone in the banking world


DONT TRUST ANYONE -- always do your own research.

I'm not saying it's going to be the cause of the crisis, but I think that the mindset of a lot of people here is that the bitcoin price is countercyclical to the overall global economy -- though this couldn't be any farther than the truth. As Bitcoin has never experienced anything in relation to a global crisis, it only gained real popularity in 2011 (way after the 2008 banking crisis)

So Bitcoin will take a beating after a crisis, I know that much.

I don't think I can agree with this at all, you have to think that in its current state a ton of people in Bitcoin is being used by people as an investment with the money that they can afford to put into it. If the global economy and financial institutions were to have a crisis people would pull this money immediately, as they need it for their real lives.


People would pull out the price would crash and then most likely come back up, but who knows.

To both of you, I highly doubt CEX.IO would be robbing either one of you. If you were to both just come here and ask for some help they'd kindly help. You have to think that during a market like this they don't have the support team nor the network to keepup, so some bugs are obviously going to happen and the support team is going to take sometime to respond.

I'd recommend for you to change the title, this needed nor is it true.

2FA isn't something that can be accessed by someone else, the only person that has access is your device and your mobile device only. So that shouldn't be of worry to you. You shouldn't be having any other problems with security if you're using YOUR own devices, given that these devices aren't compromised at all.


Though I am curious, what kind of wallet are you using? Web Wallet?

The money that is within Crypto and made here is nothing compared to the amount that is made by the big banks, big pharma, big oil, and so on and so forth. So while it does sound like a good idea, the people that we were to elect would just take the biggest cash options from other people and then just have to serve them -- this would be the big banks and everyone else I listed before.


So yeah, cool and all but not going to come to fruition.
