What is your opinion on the BTC/Alt market in an event of a stock market crash?
1. BTC/Alts rise because these are seen as alternative investment.
2. BTC/Alts fall because these are seen as an even more speculative asset than stocks.
3. Nothing happens
i think number 1 and number 2 is closed to the right answer although i really don't know amd not sure about the investment that OP said but i see for people which have any of investment, i am sure that they can make returning profit in 2x after their balance have been add into your wallet. by the way, i really agree with the number 1 because if the price is rise, it could make bitcoin and altcoin as alternative payment. I think Number 3 is a better choice. Stock market has no link with BTC/ALT market. I dont think stock market investors are interested in bitcoin trading market and many be most of them do not know about it. Similarly how many people here who are in bitcoin trading are also involved in stock and forex trading ? i think the number will be very less. Both of them are different markets with different peoples. |

I've sent BTC which I received from Mercatox away to exchange some of my country currency with the Fee that blockchain recommended, from 3 days ago (the suitable fee), but till now that transaction isn't confirmed, because my received from Mercatox wasn't confirmed, and more than that, as I said, they sent out transactions to a chain of unconfirmed transactions. So now, I recommend everyone stop deposit BTC, exchange all BTC to others currencies (XRB, DOGE,...) and withdraw to your wallet out of Mercatox. To keep your money safe. I will wait till the 1st of next month, if my transaction be confirmed, I will comeback to Mercatox and continue to make a few trades.

I know this may sound like a lame question but if BITCOIN hardforks does that mean we will all get extra BTC from the forked coin?
For example say I have 1 BTCsitting in my wallet, will suddenly have 2 BTC, one from each chain?
Bitcoin hard fork will never happen. People have already rejected that. In the long run two chain of bitcoins will not be beneficial for the bitcoins and it will eventuality start the end of bitcoins. Similarly If Eth was not broken into ETC, it have been close to bitcoin by now but since it has two chains it will never be a success. |

The price of btc in South Korea is over $1000 the global average. It has been stated that the price per BTC in the region has reached upwards of $3500-3800 across the country’s top three exchanges and a lot of traders are finding significant arbitrage opportunities due to this trend in S/Korea. Also, these 3 popular trading platforms are processing roughly $200 million USD worth of Korean Won-KRW/BTC trades daily, and from all indications, the central bank’s and government’s friendly attitude in bitcoin community in South Korea is thriving greatly. Apparently with this development, this country is one to watch with respect to bitcoin. What do you think about this explosion in the bitcoin world in South Korea and its global impact? Reference: https://news.bitcoin.com/south-korea-bitcoin-1000-global/We cannot see anymore the thriving price in south korea and almost all exchanges of bitcoin around the world has experienced a one hell of a dump in the market. But we are still lucky since it did not went down below 2000$. I just hope that south korea will not panic over this dump and will continue to buy more bitcoins and will see the dump as an opportunity to buy more bitcoins. Yes, everywhere including south korea has faced a dump in bitcoin prices but what we dont see is bitcoin prices flew from 2000$ to 2800$ In a matter of few days, which was not natural behavior. Its good we are still over 2000$ and now we will move naturally towards 3000$ which i think is more favorable for all the bitcoin holders as we all need a steady bitcoin price increase and not a high pump followed a by high dump. |

Bitcoin is just like an easy job because it only requires internet and computer and after that we can start earning bitcoins without having too much risk involved. I agree with you that we don't need to ignore our real world jobs because it will help us to boost our progress in earning and collecting bitcoin as many as we can.
Bitcoin is not a job , but a currency and on the internet you can get jobs which paid in bitcoins. If you are earning by jobs only, thats risk free but if you are a trader or have investment in bitcoin investment site etc, then that is not risk free and a good lot of risk is involved if you are not experienced and vigilant enough. |

Guys, i made a small fortune in altcoin/bitcoin. In which country should i settle ?
I have no wife, no kids, just a girlfriend, i´m free to go wherever i want (she´ll go with me).
But it has to be a bitcoin-friendly country.
I have no intention to buy lambos, just a peaceful life.
Thanks.
Oh, and my age is 53, that makes a difference too.
Well first you should tell us how much you made in Bitcoin/ altcoins that you are willing to leave your country ? Secondly why cant you stay in your own country and enjoy the peaceful life there ? If converting bitcoin into fiat is a problem in your country, you can find many online conversions which can give you USD from bitcoins and then to can convert USD into your local currency. |

I don't think it will go lower, possibly the new floor price after $1,500 is now at $1,800. And if you want to get in again just buy now but look at the changes of the difference of all exchanges because I noticed that most of them have big gap with buy and sell. Don't miss it out for sure in the upcoming months will see new ATH.
No matter it goes below 1800 o 1500 or maybe even 1200$, this is an opportunity for you to buy cheap again and keep them save as it will surely rise back and those who collect it at low price would be the real lucky ones. Those who have missed the train this time, now is the time to grab it and enjoy the next ride of bitcoin. |

I see three reasons why its going down but its just my opinion and its something that traders should take with a grain of salt. One is due to market correction, it was published yesterday that the sudden drop of BTC price is due to market correction, two is weekends or others call it a weak end where traders slows down in trading BTC, third is panic selling, if those with faint heart dont stop selling fearing that there will be in incoming crash, youll see the price continue to drop further. Again, just my opinion.
A lot of things contribute to the price drop of bitcoins and one of the major is panic selling. No Currency can always keep on going on one directions and there has to be up and downs for it. Since bitcoin was just keep on moving upwards for a month or so, a little downward trend created a lot of panic and everyone want to sell to get the benefit of high price of bitcoin. Anyways this is also good for bitcoin ans more strong hands will buy bitcoins and next time we shall cross 3000$ with ease. |

Price was about to reach $3000 but suddenly just like when it started to rise from $1200 now has started to fall from $2800.
If you don't adapt with the market you'll for sure lose, when market is moving upwards you should go with it but now market showing the signs of going down and we should all go with it, only the ones who were meant to hodl for long will continue to do so because these prices is nothing for them but the middle class Bitcoiners like me and most of the people here can not sustain such drops, so start selling to avoid more suffering.
Dont make people sell in panic by your advice. Its a wrong decision. I know how it feels if your profits drops with drop in btc price but you need to show some heart and trust if you wana earn big. This small decrease in price is temporary and it will rise more in 1 to 2 days. Those who have courage to take risk are the ones who end up making good profits. |

yeah me too. nothing big will happen if satoshi exist and show the world his true face. THe price of Bitcoin will not change at all and nothing will happen to the world we live.
Perhaps. While Satoshi won't make a difference in Bitcoin's underlying value, he would make it even better as he comes up with solutions to the pioneer cryptocurrency's current issues. Everything about Bitcoin is perfect, but the lack of the community reaching consensus to scale Bitcoin is a huge problem for it, making it stale in the future. Unless Satoshi or another genius comes with a brilliant solution for Bitcoin, the pioneer cryptocurrency will decrease further in market share, as altcoins take the lead in processing every day transactions. Nevertheless, if Satoshi is still alive, he would be very disappointed with Bitcoin's current issues, as his original vision was for it to scale to serve its purpose as a peer to peer electronic cash system. Just my opinion.  Bitcoin will remain number 1 for a long time but it is impossible to avoid altcoins to take away some of the market share of bitcoin, since some of the coins are really good projects deserving attention, and also because there are so many coins that even if they only get a small investment, that is investment bitcoin is not going to get. Bitcoin will always be Top digital currency. Satoshi is not revealed yet and bitcoin is doing great. If somehow Satoshi is revealed, it wont have much affect on bitcoin price and volume. No doubt Satoshi developed the bitcoins but he is not the owner of this. Bitcoins are decentralized and those who have bitcoins are the real owners and no one can manipulate the prices and volume, not even Satoshi.  |

BTC and the concept of cryptocurrency are something that got my attention some years ago. I believe that it is the answer to several problems that we face today, and will help millions in the next years. BTC itself is a great asset to store wealth and an easy way to transfer money from one place to another, IMO.
yes, thats the overall concept of the world and how the world looks towards the digital currency and the benefits associated with it. In a personal prospective, i think bitcoin to be a life saver for me. I was very much tense with my low income job and then someone gave me idea on how to earn money online, and then i availed my free times earning bitcoins through whatever means possible whether it be faucets, Sig. campaigns , ICO, trading etc and i earn now good amount in bitcoins. |

I've been talking about Bitcoin to family, friends and random people for years and nobody seemed to mind when BTC was under $1000. But now that Bitcoin has reached $2000, people are starting to realize that owning 1 BTC is beginning to be out of reach for the average person.
I've had more people ask me about Bitcoin lately and wanted help buying Bitcoins. What about you?
my sister ask about bitcoin to me and but she is not believe if bitcoin very profitable and can get you more money . and i see her that not interest about bitcoin I think you should have showed a little more detail about the bitcoins to your sister. If you are earning bitcoins show her the proofs of earning and also tell in how much time you earned how much money. Sometimes we need to be little more monetary benefits to attract the people interest in bitcoins. Time will tell all that those who are in bitcoins now, will surely be the lucky ones in future. |

Ha ha... This is surprising. Coinbase and Kraken are among the larger exchanges and I thought they would be better prepared. If large global exchanges suffer, think what will happen to smaller, isolated exchanges in countries where there is high demand for bitcoins? Really annoying and surprising to see such big exchanges cant handle such high traffic, and we are talking about to make bitcoin the only currency worldwide. What will happen to these exchanges then ?  I think its time these exchanges should be ready for such high trades and traffic and upgrade their servers so accommodate more people and traffic. |

Saving bitcoin will make you rich. the price of BTC today is increasing rapidly, the price of btc today are still cheap, if you want to become rich in the future save BTC today ! and hopefully theres a bank to save bitcoin.
No doubt that those early holders that managed to hold their bitcoins up to now will be rich enough. And I want to follow their foot steps so what I'm doing today is that I keep on holding my bitcoins. Because I know that one day I'll reap this patience of saving bitcoins. It will be good to all of us we'll just keep the faith of holding. Patience is the key of it. It is not easy to hold your bitcoin in a period of time because you are tempted to convert it in real cash you bought it a stuff that you liked. But if you are really patient enough of holding it then that is a real profit. Try to think last year the price is below $1k then if you bought a bitcoin on that time then you really earn a ton of profit now, it is double with the price Yes it's not easy to hold bitcoin because there will be situations and time that it is going to tempt you to sell it. But if you can endure to hold until with the satisfying maybe for 5 digits value per bitcoin. It will be worth the wait if you will sell at that rate but with the current price of bitcoin, it's already satisfying but it keeps on advancing and giving us some more expectations and pushing us to keep on saving. Though the price of bitcoin at times endure to sell, it can be held into the wallet without much difficulty. Because people who depend on the bitcoin cash out for living feels difficult, others who have their own day job could easily avoid such situation and make use in the future as the price increases year after year in the same manner. It's an advantage to those people that have day job instead of using their saved bitcoins, they can use their salary for their expenses or whatever purpose they want. While their saved bitcoins will be on safe place and will remain to be on hold as the price of bitcoin is on a rally it will be a good thing for them since they can't move their funds. Thats that i am and many other people are doing. I am earning bitcoins in part time through different methods like trading, investments etc but do not spend them and manage my daily expenses through my day job. This way my bitcoins are saved and also their value is increasing rapidly making it really a great overall investment. |

I am on a breakeven point at this moment, the interest earned is almost equal to the bad debts so it was an average experience for me, still appreciate the efforts of BTCjam.
But there are still many people who are in loss due to bad debt. Personally I think BtcJam is complete failure and they may come up with new improved and secure lending platform. Almost all P2P lending platforms are struggling to give secure lending service and nobody have found a proper way to do it. Yes, Most people just take the loan with the intention of not returning it back and that is real cause of failure of such systems. There is no proper way to collect the collateral from the loan takers. I think loans at bitcointalk forum are much more secure due to strict policies being enforced here and people get their account compromised if they dont return on time. |

The vDice platform is proud to make this pre-announcement, launching it’s the newest game shortly. This represents the 1st game on the vDapps platform.
vSlots
The first game on the vDapps section will be our unique take on a slot machine, implemented entirely with Ethereum Smart Contracts.
This is not the official announcement. This is a preliminary announcement for our fans. We will be making the official announcement shortly, once the game is live.
The code is here. It is currently undergoing review and 3rd party audits. Front-end developers and designers are also in the process of completing the APIs, HTML, CSS and Design.
.....
It's nice to see Vdice development especially when bitcoin value keep increase , it impact on ETH as Vdice's currency so it become great investation option. While people racing to invest bitcoin as much as possible, I'm keep invest on ETH and I'm watching this currency will compete bitcoin , one day yes mate while other people are urging to invest with bitcoin they didn't see the bigger potential of eth and its nice for Vdice for doing it for its playing making a good investment and if things turn to our side we will be able to generate much better outcome. I think Bitcoin is too expensive to invest now in gambling. Eth is a much better option of investing / playing Gambling and Vdice is really providing a great platform where one can fulfill his wish of gamble with cheap Eth and not risking with the bitcoin whose value is now out of reach of many people. |

Meaning, it's still only worth a fraction of what a tech giant is. (~500B range)
Yes, btc is still worth a fraction of its true potential. Cap is the only number you have to compare it to giants. I agree completely. The price of a single coin doesn't say much. 1 bitcoin is very close to reaching twice the price of gold. Except "the price of gold" depends on how much gold. 1oz is just an arbitrary fraction and even 1 BTC is. We should compare the market cap of BTC with all giants, including (the total market cap of) gold: $40billions vs $7.5trillions. It's still very far away and can grow a lot more in several years. Bitcoin market cap cannot be compared to Gold market gap. There is a high difference between the two. But then you should know Bitcoin has been there for less than a decade and Gold is there for more than a century, so both of their volume could not be compared or match. One thing here is sure if Bitcoin is given a time of one hundred years, it will way pass the 7.5 trillion dollar mark. |

Of course happy, watching my hardwork and my investment being more valuable and at the same time bitcoin usage is spreading all over the world and the popularity is keep on rising, most of the users and early adopter is very exciting about the rising
Most of the people who already have the Bitcoins are surely happy to see Bitcoin price rising to the moon and their saved bitcoin are double or tripled in the worth. The only scare few people have that the price might dump hard after being pumped too high. To them i will say, be calm and stay cool. Bitcoin usage has increased too much and everyone willing to have bitcoins, so we shall never see a big dump  |

Yes the pumping of bitcoin isn't over yet it will be continue till it will be reach at the price of $3000 or maybe more not less if the fall may happen maybe all those holders planning to sell their coins for the better profit waiting for them to have it. For sure on this year it will broke the wall again for the price of $3000
The Way bitcoin is being pumping, $3000 does not seems to be a target for this year. We will crush 3000$ within a month if it continues to move in this speed. Already its is touching 2500$. I think it not only the bitcoin being pump for dumping only, this time it is the real price of Bitcoin and i am sure bitcoin will never be dumped again. Many new investors are coming and the old investors are not giving up bitcoins as everyone see a true potential in bitcoin. |
