How about those who bought at $1900?

They (we) must be pretty happy now. 

Hello

what will happened with cripto currency if it was world crisis?
wha do yu think?

My point was in fact rather simple

The money which entered the altcoin bubble could not possibly fuel the Bitcoin bubble as well simply because the Bitcoin market is by far greater and vaster than any altcoin market taken separately or even all altcoin markets taken together (if we throw away that bullshit metric called "market cap"). I'd rather say it is the money that went into Bitcoin first that made altocoins grow too since some of this money got poured into them as well (minor part of it, obviously). The fact that major altcoins grew a lot more than Bitcoin (in relative terms) proves how tiny their respective markets are in comparison with that of Bitcoin. In other words, it doesn't take a lot to see them hurt

The gambling part is optional. And it's just an extra way of anonymizing your Bitcoins. Imagine if you want to mix BTC 0.5, gambled on the website and withdrew BTC 1.0; You sent an amount and received another totally different. That makes your mixing activities a lot more anonymous.

nur dass die Zeitspanne bei BTC deutlich kürzer ist und der Kurs höher liegt

Have a look at this.

I think bitcoin was born beautiful and difficult to use for over 80% of the people.
To average person the biggest complication comes when they want to transfer a fraction of bitcoin.
People are used with un divisible units of fiat, the smallest 1/100(cent) Now inagine you ask them to send you 0.000974123 Btc. I am saying this because I tried to convince someone to use btc. He couldn’t get it, let alone volatility
Could we have a wallet were it shows and send/receive satoshies. it will be good for the eye too.

Of course, there is a little bit of risked involved in buying now... But I think it will be okay. And if you really want to gain a lot, you can't run with the herd. You have to buy when people are shitting their pants. Which is right now...

And what does it change?

In respect to the question raised? Yes, you likely can compare real trading volumes, but these figures still won't tell you anything about how much cash every coin got injected, say, during the last half a year. If someone bought 1 million bitcoins today (just an arbitrary number) with 2 billion dollars and then packed these coins in his wallet for a few years, this won't seriously affect trading volume figures. Tomorrow they will be the same as they were yesterday. This may be a useful metric but it is utterly useless regarding estimation of how much fiat got invested in a certain coin (this is what the question is about)

Hi,

I really miss a secondary password from Core. Right now you can start up the app and it just shows all your addresses and balances. You can't spend any (assuming your encrypted your wallet), but you can still see.

This is pretty bad IMHO. It opens up an avenue for "3rd party" to extort you knowing how much you have by simply firing up the exe (I know you can encrypt the drive, etc. but this should be in the client).

It would be great to add an optional secondary password.

I think we are in the early days and Bitcoin is just an opening
shot for the evolution. We'll have second generation of cryptos
that are much more simpler, more anonymous and more scalable.

Bitcoin resistance around 1814-1840 reached = STRONG support


If segwit2x activated and fully operational this weekend = back to 3,000 $ +++++


If not = hard fork = bitcoin will be traded around 900 $

What do you think ?

Trading volumes are even less relevant to the matter discussed

They basically show how many times a certain number of coins changed hands at trading but this itself tells us nothing about the absolute amount of money that a coin received within a certain period of time. If you sold and bought 1 coin worth 1 dollar 1 million times, you would get 1 million dollar trading volume (actually, 2 million dollars), while in reality you have been trading just 1 dollar, and the same 1 dollar at that. To really see the amount of cash invested, we should know the number of coins being traded (i.e. not the volume of trades) and the change in price. For example, if there is 1M litecoins actively traded (the number is entirely random), and we want to raise the price from 20 dollars to 30 dollars per coin, then it would require us, say, 10M dollars to make this rise possible. This is a very rough estimate, of course (it would require more than that), but it shows the logic behind the correct reasoning

I cannot support this view

And I guess I know what made you come to this erroneous conclusion (i.e. that "Bitcoin rise was fueled by the alt bubble"). I think you looked at the total market cap figures of altcoins and got tricked into thinking that there was something real behind this rise, i.e. real money. As to me, this was nowhere near the case. These market cap figures were bullshit, since the amount of fiat that it took to pump this seeming bubble was miserable (in Bitcoin terms). In other words, it is Bitcoin that got pumped with the bulk of money which made it rise, and only some dust ended up in altcoins. But since altcoins are dwarfs beside Bitcoin even this dust was sufficient to inflate the altocoin bubble and make it look  enormous and intimidating

I tried to add those to the payload, but it even cannot run. Can you help me to get this run? I will be very happy to send you money just to say thank. (If you offer a service to do that, pls give me the price ).

Exactly, Bitcoin need fix issue in Blockchain about time confirm transaction if want become to digital cash for purcharse everywhere. Not only still confirm slow, use Bitcoin for purcharse at now with small amount very difficult, sometime the fees can high than the price to buy one thing.

Ist dann beim Mining bereits der Gegenwert vom Bitcoin steuerpflichtig oder erst, wenn man ihn verkauft? Gleiche Frage auch für Signaturkampagnen.

I've heared that in some countries people have to pay the income tax after buying fiat for their bitcoins. Anyone faced such problem? If yes then how you deal with it in your country?
At one point of view  bitcoin is an instrument for investment so ppl buy it willing to get income in their currency.
At the other point it is a currency and it might be used with a purpose of saving. In this case the tax would be stupid.
