your poll lacks a lot of options! most obvious one all of the above
overall strategy is HODL, and always will be HODL. there is no argument there.

but for short term you sell on top and buy back right away after the dip. for the time-being I say your suggestion of selling (yesterday) was a good one but I don't think rise is over. it will continue to rise throughout the following week and then it would be a better time to sell for a short term profit before the correction.

they have already done that in some TV programs when they talked about bitcoin and what it is, and I once saw a program do a QR code giveaway kind of deal on TV.

none of it is going to help as much as you and I stop hoarding bitcoin and start spending it. because as we begin using bitcoin more as a currency, the more merchants will be willing to accept it as a payment and eventually the growth speeds up and we can see new kind of adoption. meaning real bitcoin users not more speculators.

yup. TimeLock transaction that I explained above is what you want and should search for. reading more about these things I believe they are fundamentals requirements for smart contracts on bitcoin.
sorry I can not explain it better, I myself am not 100% sure about the details, so maybe you should change the title and OP to reflect your real question.

I know it is an obvious trolling from someone who says the same thing at similar times forever. but it is such a dumb move in my opinion to even think about selling today! we are still on the rise and the chance of continued rising is still high.
next week is such a better time for selling coins as we get closer to ETF decision it is possible the big dump happens before the decision.

nah, I am just enjoying the show.
you kids can fight all day long and continue posting against each other. I am just filling my pockets with what I know has a future. bitcoin for long term and altcoins (all of them) only for short term.

although I always try to warn others not to get caught into the illusion of an altcoin (any of them) becoming better than bitcoin, because if they do, they will be left bag-holding like always.

this is such a weird question and also hard to understand what you really are trying to do!
but I think what you have in mind is a way to "lock the funds so they can not be spent" if so, I doubt that there are any services for that and even if there were any, they wouldn't be trusted.

however I believe there is a new feature in bitcoin where you can add some kind of "lockTime" to your transactions. meaning you just send your funds to a new address and include this "lockTime" in it, that way the new transaction output can not be spent unless the time is reached.
imagine the same lockTime that currently exists which means the transaction can not be include in a block until we are over that time, but instead you can't spend it.

but I am not sure if that was a new feature that was implemented or was just a BIP that I read! maybe someone else can confirm this.

EDIT: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Timelock

as I said in my example in OP an altcoin can easily create coins out of nowhere! there is nothing stopping them and it is just supply and doesn't even have to be on the market to change anything such as creating sell pressure.

here is very good example of why Market capitalization is not such a good factor for comparing cryptocurrencies when it comes to altcoins like this. when a coin like this can easily reach the third rank with a simple pump to 14000 satoshi!

@kiklo this is so funny to see you bashing SegWit all year long with your FUD and useless posts and now you are supporting it now that it is activated with 100% support from miners on litecoin. good job.


oh boy this is so good. I am adding it to my topic. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1842964.0

apart from all the things people say about this price rise, you shouldn't really forget about all the free money traders made while pumping altcoins. that is a ridiculous number in fact.

when you pump 2 major coins with huge volume from $10 to $80-$100 that is an 8x-10x profit! and all that profit doesn't go away, it comes back to bitcoin and increases the same volume 8-10 times. and that is free money people made which are investing it back in bitcoin.

Maximum profit I have made: 733%
what coin: bitcoin
behind the success: steady hands, no panic sell, lots of research, buying in the dip ($180) when nobody was looking.
time: 2 years (?) maybe it was 3
how much: I recently sold a small amount to get some fiat that I needed, otherwise 733% profit is way too small to want to sell bitcoin!

oops.

for altcoins the highest profit in one go for me is usually less than 20% because if the altcoin is on the rise, I sell after the rise (it is after the initial hour of the pump) and wait for the dip then buy again then sell again and rinse and repeat. it accumulates to a bigger percentage but you asked in one go

lets not get hasty and ahead of ourselves. price is not in $1400 range an there is a <$300 gap to reach $1700 so it won't be "soon" for sure. unless by soon you mean in 6 months then that is a more possible speculation.

although I should add that these days the rising speed depends on a lot of factors. it is not just the regular slow $100 rise each month or so. but now there are a lot of good news, some of them hyped up more than they should, which are contributing to this rise.
we now have 2 big countries which adopted bitcoin (Japan) or at least shown more flexible attitude towards it (Russia). and that was the spark this rise needed.

well from what I know a police "raid" doesn't happen just because someone transferred some euros around or has bitcoin. if that were the case we had a similar news every day since a lot of people have a lot more bitcoin and move it around, mostly in and out of exchanges when they trade. you can even see it on kraken volumes!

this is most probably what others have also said: Drug related. she must have done some shady stuff in dark market and got caught. simple as that.

the thing is, each time we see a dip and price goes down for any reason, usually FUD, the bottom comes higher. we are at 14 fucking hundred dollars range and heading towards 1500! the dip won't be big enough to go to many people's dream price.

this is an impossible question to answer!
starting a business is never an easy one. you need to consider a lot of things and most importantly have a lot of experience in this field. and it is not a general answer so that we can say do X and you do that and have a successful business, it mainly depends on you and what you like. for example if you start doing something that you like you have a more successful business than just doing something that others do.
and also the other thing is experience and if you have any in running a business. I don't know you so have you ever done something similar?
and also it can be dependent on where you live too. for example if you provide a service that doesn't exist in your country like a bitcoin exchange that works locally you can be a lot more successful.

if you are not using Gmail or Yahoo (or popular other good providers) you will experience problems receiving emails in general. try changing your email provider if that is the case, I have had terrible experiences like this. and the only thing you can do at this point is waiting 10 minute or so to see if you receive it (which I think you are already past that period) and then send their support a ticket and ask for help.

if by "payment method" you mean only fiat withdrawal option through PayPal then you are correct. because last time I checked they never had any option to deposit fiat through PayPal to buy bitcoin. the only option is to deposit bitcoin, sell for fiat and cash that out through PayPal.

when you go and use a new system then you also have to adapt yourself to the new situation. it won't happen easily. it is like when the first car came out and people switched from using horse and carriage to vehicle, "how can you expect 'average Joe' to remember where he put the handle to his car to start it in the morning?"

it depends on your target customer. for example if it is only going to operate within Brazil and accept Brazilian customers then choose a word in Portuguese, I am not speaking this language but here is a suggestion
barganhar, barganhado, cripto-comércio

but if it is more global then go with an English name. although I particularly like cripto-comércio myself

p.s. BTC address is in my profile in case I won the bounty

you can't really come up with a fixed number and say it is my daily ROI for every  day in every month of the year. there are times that you make an easy 20% profit in one day if you know how to do it, and there are days you buy something and keep it until that altcoin is pumped and dump it for the same 20% after a couple of days.

and then there are downtimes. the altcoin market never stays this active and hot all the time. there will be dumps soon when everybody exits and then all the prices go down to lower levels and stay there. look at something like 6 months ago charts and see what I am talking about. it is always cycles. the pump season then a dumping period and the slow either stable or downward slope.
