yeah sorry my eyes just don't see the USD value anymore when it comes to bitcoin because it has turned into something meaningless since i am just holding long term and only deal with bitcoin anyways.
besides going from $600 to $1284 is kind of a tiny rise for me

not really ethereum is pumped right now and it needs to drop. it is resisting so far because the fear and uncertainty is not yet lifted from the market and gullible investors still think there is no manipulation in ETH markets.

and no ETH will not follow the bitcoin price rises. if bitcoin starts rising today you can kiss your ETH investment goodbye because it is in a bubble and it will be a catastrophic burst.

but sometimes when it is at the bottom there is lots of manipulations to keep it from going to hell.
see this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1724160.0 and try to remember it next time.

the same reason why Dogecoin is not worth more, the same reason why Ethereum will never go higher than certain price levels when the distribution of the ICO happens fairly and whales don't control 90% of the supply.

it is all about a very simple rule of supply and demand the demand of altcoins will always be inferior and there is nothing to change that. and when the supply is huge there will always be coins available for people to buy without making the price go up.

to put simple when something is scarce it becomes valuable, if you could find Gold grow on trees the value of it would be close to nothing.

you can start hanging out in the website and start watching the high rollers tab to see how most of them make bets, and it is sometimes exiting to see that much bitcoin in one bet in a high roll
but from what i have seen it is usually not martingale they use. they mostly use low multipliers with high chance of win and make bets that way.

did you see anywhere that i am denying the fact that fees have gone up? of course not, i am just as pissed as anybody else. but to say it is a problem and bitcoin is going to hell is just dumb! so you used to pay a low fee and now you are paying 30-40 cents per transaction, that is not called "a lot of trouble"

market cap is not a valid thing to compare cryptocurrencies.

but since you like it let me explain. this is what ETH did:
they held an ICO and controlled a big chunk of then 80 million coins in their own hands. then there is no max supply for the coin so new coins are being mined nonstop, right now it is around 90 million coins. a simple calculation is 90 million * price = market cap
but the problem is the 90 million coins are not in circulation. i would be surprised if i know anything more than 10 million is open to public. which means real ETH market cap is 1/9 of what it is now.

you are right about the usage going up but not about the attack.  you need to watch the mempool a bit then you'll understand. when some entity(s) start injecting the mempool with hundreds of transaction in a couple of seconds and continue keeping the number up for days.
click on some of the transactions and look at them carefully. you can even find some topics in this board about it.

i am not trying to shut anybody up, i just can't stand nonsense
with that said i am very interested to see what people say about ethereum in a year (on 2018-3-29) when the blockchain size of it is 400-500 GB and there were only a handful of nodes available making the security practically non-existant, when there has been another non-consensus-hard-fork which splits ETH to another 2 chains (3 in total) and when there is another exploit like DAO or even when another serious bug were found in the poorly written code.
or when the attackers on bitcoin decided to pay a visit to ETH blockchain

why would you even want to be added to Yobit!
there is already bittrex and the coin is showing a very promising future, there is already 417BTC volume on bittrex and it has only been 8 hours since it was added to bittrex and price is rising super fast!

you should instead think about being added to bigger exchanges like poloniex in the next step.

MUSIC
it is a dumb coin but it is being traded with mad daily volume, there was a rather lengthy accumulation phase going on in cryptopia exchange and then since it was a high volume coin they added it to bittrex and now it is being pumped for the past few hours. gone from 160-200 satoshi to 1179, there was a short dump down to 600 and now it seems to be rising again.

ethereum is not even a currency, and it never were supposed to be on. and the centralization is enough for anyone to say no to using it.

and you don't hear anything about litecoin because it is not pumped. let it pump someday to 2x, 3x then all you hear is how good litecoin is and when the pump is over and dump begins, we are back to not hearing about it again. like any other altcoin that is pumped!

this only comes from a wrong idea of thinking of gambling as way to make money, or as an investment. and you can see many call gambling as that. but the fact of the matter is that gambling is a risky thing, yes we enjoy playing it and yes we can make profit sometimes even big amount of it but in the end if you get unlucky, you are losing too.

and also when people think of gambling a way to make profit, they will end up trying too hard and making all the wrong decisions and that leads to more losses than normal.

i assure you it will all come down to bitcoin price. if bitcoin stays above $1000 and continues rising like normal meaning if it gets out of this bear market and enters the next bull run you can kiss Ethereum price goodbye because like last time the dumps will start and the series of them will crash the market easy.

but if bitcoin stays in this state or if ETH bag holders get lucky and bitcoin price goes down, you can expect another small pump.

bitcoin is not a "virtual" currency it is a real currency. it doesn't get any more real than that.
and so far bitcoin has been and still is the onlycryptocurrency that exists. all the rest are trading toys called altcoin which are falsely using the word coin or currency in their description.

i don't understand this sentence

if you really think that, and if you are really ok with a centralized coin and a coin with a significant amount of premine, and a coin that has whales controlling the price and pump and dump it 50%-200% then go ahead and use them nobody is preventing you

the only problem that bitcoin is facing is the spam attack and nothing else.

duplicate of your first question!


it is not the 1MB block size that "brings you a lot of trouble" it is the spam attack and there is a big difference.

what other altcoin did you use to transfer! and who even accepts them in the world! nobody that's who

you two need to seriously take a look at "DATE" of the topics and learn to "READ" the topic first before posting some random answer.

this topic is old and it is asking about the 10 of March sudden rise to above $1300 in a couple of minutes. and if you read the first couple of comments you'll see the speculative reason for it.

because simply as i said before, it is the pumpers in the altcoin community moving from one project to another. they have pumped the biggest coins and are exiting those by dumping them. you can see ETH and Dash taking the biggest dumps.

and when these whales take their money out, they don't take it back to their banks, instead they put it in another altcoin. and while people are still waiting for ETH and Dash to go higher, other altcoins go up this much and they miss out.

p.s. it wasn't 1000+% it was 600-700%

it is possible that there is more traders today than it was before because it is a growing market after all. but your conclusion is wrong because you are just looking at a short term statistics. instead you should take a look at bigger picture.
the rises in both price and the total volume, marketcap,... are only numbers if you don't know what it is you are looking at. and all of these "stats" went up because we are in a pumping season. and in a pumping season a lot of money/BTC flies in and after the season is over they all fly out the same way they came in.

what site is that?

in case you are talking about Coinbase or i think Xapo or any other service, they DO send the transactions with fees if they are doing an on-chain transaction and they don't need fees if it is off-chain and inside their own website from account to account;
they just don't take the fees from their users. and they compensate it with other types of fees they take from their users such as the fee they take for purchasing bitcoin and the higher price of bitcoin.

haha, that look won't be a weird look. instead that would be a jealousy look at someone who has reached the highest rank and can enjoy all the benefits that reaching such rank gives him.

and just FYI the site says it is "∞ per days" which means literary unlimited.

triple = 3x
3x 5BTC = 15BTC

but yeah, this is great. i have been following this from the start and the profit that these sites are giving are pretty awesome. specially the two with an almost stable profit over time!
but it is still pretty risky, and that is something that we have to keep in mind. one good thing that OP does is keeping the history in the chart and you can see other investments that have not performed well at all. like the orange line from bitvest.

you need to specify what kind of game you are talking about. in general i disagree with you and think you are wrong.
in games that are skill based, you are completely wrong. they absolutely need analysis and lots of thinking to make the best bet and increase the chances of winning and improve the overall end result. there is no other way around it.
in games that are not skill based, you can be right. because this group is only based on chance and chance doesn't change much with analysis and strategy. although i should add that they can help. you can have a better game if you do some analysis of that game and come up with a better strategy instead of random betting.

you have a good point, although i don't think we can call it "pyramid scheme" exactly.
we all know that Dash has been premined and that alone means the supply is low and if those owning the premine decide to hold off and spread some hype in the market price goes up already. and it is just a pump and dump scheme which is a perfectly common thing in alternative cryptocurrencies. people sometimes forget why these coins were created in the first place.

the price went up above $1000 yesterday, and in my observation that shows a good buy support and a willing market to buy bitcoin up, the demand is still there and hasn't gone anywhere, and it is not going to either. its just that the panic is still there too and the $1000 price is always going to be a psychological barrier for bitcoin price where people have their sell targets there.
and this only means a bit more time is needed.
