While it is fair to say that their will be a price correction, to say that people will be selling Bitcoin and buying gifts 'and stuff' is going to be the reason behind the price fall that you're predicting is a rather horrid reason. Then you go on to contradict yourself by saying that Bitcoin and Altcoins will be popular as a gift. Simple supply and demand say that if more people are buying as gifts, the price should increase.

Back on topic here - Sell your Bitcoin and then buy again when you feel the fall is over / done with. To lock up your coins in a shitty options exchange is dumb, they're not as well known as the ones people like using and I wouldn't regard them as safe either.

That's the safest, cheapest, and easiest way to go about this.

This hardfork isn't going to do anything to Bitcoin, it's a shit hardfork which is ridden with problems. This one isn't like Bitcoin Cash where it actually has backing and money behind it, and some people at least. This is a hardfork which doesn't have competent devs, they have bugs in their code, and they're not going to get anywhere with it. "They're not sending their best folks"

This is what I would call a nonissue when it comes to trading, I would continue doing what you're doing as this shouldnt effect you at all.

This right here is key to note, and it has its pros and cons with government involvement.

The biggest pro is put forward by you, that government wont let the commodity due as they have a vested interest in the price of it being higher as they own it as well and want the price to be as high as possible. Plus they're not going to be buying more of it, so they don't want the price to go lower (if they were buying more though, they would want the price to dip around the times they purchase, but this isn't the case)

But here is the biggest Con, a lot of your investment is heavily at the whim of government(s) as if they really wanted to, they could just sell a ton of their precious metals and that would throw a lot of supply into a marketplace with no demand increase. This would cripple your investment.

I wouldn't get involved with precious metals.

Well if Coinbase is out of the question, then Gdax is going to be out of the question as well. As Coinbase owns Gdax so you're going to have to try to get your account back with them or try something new altogether.

Some other alternatives could be Gemini and ItBit, a lot of the other ones that are out there are international or not accepted by NY.

Sadly these aren't the best in general, but that's what you're stuck with.

This is something which is normal when it comes to IP addresses, as the ISP you're using to get internet from may have servers and such in the US instead of Canada. This would be why the IP would be coming up as being in the US, makes sense if that's the only issue.

Look up, "What is my IP" then compare, make sure to do this on the same device you're trying to sign in on though not a cellular or something along those lines which is connected to 3g or 4G.

Anyway, of you showing that this service is legit? As I am an avid Dominos eater but I'm not going to get my address banned just because you stole someone's account and are trying to get some quick cash off of it. Like what's stopping you from using the account and getting the money worth out of it by just getting free pizzas delivered to YOUR house

Seems too good to be true.

So some random domain with a .club address is saying that Bitcoin is going to easily cruise past 10,000? You almost got me at first, when you wrote CCN as I thought you were writing CNN (not like I believe MSM anyway, I just thought a bigger news source was giving Bitcoin some publicity)

This site is pratically the owners blog with a shitty name behind it. If you're going to say things that are stupid, at least have a good source to back your claim. Not some no name site which means jack shit to everyone.

Thanks!

Well that's where you're wrong, writing on money and stamping money is legal. A common theme among people that think otherwise is that they think defacement is simply drawing on it, while that isn't true in the least. The only things that you can't do on the currency is attempt to change the denomination through drawing, advetise for a business / service / etc, or burn or shred the currency to the point where it would be regarded as not able to be part of circulation.

I'll start off with some of my biggest regrets, and the one which I am most upset about is selling my Bitcoin early. I was one of the people who were able to get into Bitcoin around the price of $400-600, and at that time I even owned a couple of Bitcoins. I saw some profits and I sold off all of my Bitcoin, I was too scared to expose myself to the risk of being involved in Bitcoin and I got out. I would've loved to have a couple thousand dollars laying around, but that's me.

Also, gambling. I gambled a good amount with the bitcoins that I had at the $400-600 mark, if I would have that back now it'd be worth a fortune.

Anyone here have any regrets?

None.

These days, I think of ICO's and token funding projects as practically gambling. You're tossing your money at something with LITTLE TO NO chance of ever making your money back, unless your part of the dev team or someone who is a friend of the dev team and is bound to make money with them. All of the projects that are ICO's now are a ton of shitcoins which are going to amount to nothing but money for the devs.

Invest in something IRL, be in in stocks (Vanguard Index Fund) or even just buy Bitcoin if you really want to be risky with this money. There's so much more you can do then piss your money away on penny stocks (ICO's)

Yeah that is really low, doesn't really make sense in all honesty. Could you provide some more information such as what country you're from, what payment method you're using, and how old your account is?

That'd probably help out the most when it comes to helping you out. I would recommend opening a ticket with their support team now, as they're not going to respond for sometime as they're probably still backlogged from some time ago. Is this your CC limit as well or is this your TOTAL LIMIT?

G2A is not a low fee, plus the fact that that entire site is full of frauds and all that. I'd try to avoid G2A at all costs, if possible of course.

If you want to sell the game for Bitcoin, try to sell it on here. Advertise it in your sig and post it in the digital goods section, you're going to limit the amount of risk you're taking as you're not using a shady marketplace (G2A) and you're going to be able to handle EVERYTHING with regard to the money you're being paid.

Goodluck on selling it BTW!

Little more complicated then that, but I think it's safe to say that as the bitcoin price goes up more often then not the difficulty of mining bitcoin will also be going up. There may be some changes with this due to the fact of splitting of the amount of Bitcoins that are given as the fee, but you're correct in a general sense.

You could always compare this (https://www.coindesk.com/data/bitcoin-mining-difficulty-time/) and the price of Bitcoin (you can find this anywhere, probably on the same link)

Most of the sites that you'd be trading on, be it Poloniex, Bittrex, Gdax, and so on and so forth will tell you the amount of profit (or loss) that you made on a trade so it's not like this information is being hidden from you. Though, if you do want this information in a more presentable manner then go on a site like crypto compare (https://www.cryptocompare.com/) Which had an area where you're able to put in the coins you own, what you bought them at and it'll monitor all of that sort of information.

It's easy and simply, though I'd rather use the built in ones from the sites As they don't require manual input.

Well the only way a virus could steal money from you / your wallet, is going to be if you're not safe online and something infects your computer. This is also saying that you don't have a competent antivirus that was able to hit this virus before it infected your computer. So you can use your coins and your wallet whereever and with whatever you want, I'd just make sure that your computer is safe.

If you don't think it is, use a fresh computer / wipe the computer. Or use a mobile device to store your coins and send from, much harder to hack this sort of device.

If you're one of the people that are less on the technical side, this is going to be right up your alley to help you out. https://www.blockonomics.co/ I've used it before and it'll send me emails for when I get money sent to me, painless and easy. Only issue is that it cost money if you want to watch multiple addresses' If your more on the technical / coding side, then you could use something like this API to make some sort of code to alert you (https://blockchain.info/api/api_receive)

Good luck!

These are just shitcoins, gosh people we've really just got to learn to not engage with these new shitcoins and then we wouldn't have any more of these. If more and more people get involved to just to try to make a quick buck, then more and more of these forks are going to come out of it.

If more and more forks come, then we just have news and more news stories talking about hardforks which Bitcoin doesn't need.

AVOID AVOID AVOID.

I don't really like the term of hedge funds on this, as it would make people think that normal day to day people are getting involved in investing in Bitcoin and Other Cryptos. This isn't the case, the people who are investing in Bitcoin COMPANIES are the venture capitalists who are trying to make a killing, the article even mentions that.

And while I do think it is nice for companies to be getting involved in Bitcoin, it does make people not want to get involved in Bitcoin as it is a high risk investment and is straying away from its original goal of just being a currency.

Well given the fact that both of these technologies are things that aren't real mainstream yet, I don't really see a reason for them to be able to meld. Plus the fact that VR and Bitcoin have no business in working together. I could see some apps being present where you can send money through VR and maybe even like look at where your coins came from tracking them from address to address through your VR blockchain. But there's no real practical use for this, it's just fun for a little while then you never use it again.

Not really needed in the least

Well if the miners are being taxed but the energy price is low, or they've cut a deal with the government to be able to get power for a really low cost. The tax could be something which is small and huge mining operations MAY still stay around if it's profitable enough for them to do this. Though if it's not, and it will hurt their business NOTHING is stopping people from just moving their miners, buying a new place, and setting up shop in a different area which favors them better.

But this is the big gray area with Bitcoin, as governments could in essence kill your entire operation VERY FAST.
