I guess none, once 4900 is broken for good then 5000 may last just few minutes

Very possible. Just see what happened in last year, from now until January

Such services are in the gambling section for a reason. Chances are you will lose everything.

Always look here for feedback about the service

Ecuador was maybe the worst selection of the end of the elimatories, a win wasn't expected at all. But of course it came with emotion after an ecuatorian goal in the first minute and a hat trick of Lionel Messi

How long until the next dip?

Is flat earth done?

Let's say I expected something else

I don't have 25k to pay. so I will take anyway

Prayers answered or simply too good to miss? The Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs is reportedly considering a brand new operation which would be dedicated to Bitcoin trading. Well, if you are working for JP Morgan, no need to worry because if your boss fires you, another Wall Street giant would be more than happy to take you on board.

Bitcoin is the reality and it doesn’t matter how bad the news flow is, traders are still very much interested. There is no doubt that Bitcoin is highly volatile and one should take extra care when trading this derivative. After China banned Bitcoin exchanges, the price of Bitcoin fell below $3,000 and I did mention in my last article that this much drop in price opens the room for opportunity.

The Bitcoin price rallied all the way back above $4,000 and it is more than likely that we could test the recent all-time high again.

Remember, this is despite the fact that we had some more negative news from South Korea which banned Bitcoin ICO. The price action clearly makes one thing clear so far: selling the digital currency is not the best strategy but buying the dip might just be.

One could argue that traders may be reading too much into Goldman opening Bitcoin desk. But the reality is that if Goldman opens a Bitcoin desk, it would not only legitimize the cryptocurrency but it would also attract mega funds. After all, the bank is known for having a deep pocket.

Moreover, Goldman’s core business is trading while JP Morgan makes substantial amounts of money by lending. The Wall Street powerhouse Goldman Sachs is struggling to maintain its revenue and the strongest revenue arm- fixed income dropped nearly 40% during the second quarter. It perfectly makes sense to add another business which may not only help their trading business but down the line, it could also boost its lending operation.

After all, Bitcoin is the biggest threat to the mighty dollar whose purchasing power is diminishing. And Goldman is no stranger to adding exotic derivatives in their trading especially if you consider that the bank was selling mortgage-backed credit swaps.

One of the World's Biggest Bitcoin Exchanges Just Added a New Cryptocurrency

Bithumb, one of the world’s biggest exchanges for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, added support for a new cryptocurrency on Tuesday.

Based in South Korea, Bithumb listed Zcash, a privacy-centric digital money based on a blockchain, a public accounting ledger that tracks virtual currencies, allowing people to buy and sell them without the need of a middle-man like a bank. Zcash is similar to Bitcoin and Ether, the most popular cryptocurrencies, in that it consists of a network distributed across a global swarm of volunteer machines, except it affords greater anonymity to transactions. (For a primer on Zcash, read this.)

Bithumb’s addition of Zcash comes a day after CEX.io, another cryptocurrency exchange based in England, added support for the cryptocurrency.

South Korea has become a hotbed for cryptocurrency activity, despite a recent crackdown on “initial coin offerings” or ICOs, a financial mechanism that allows entrepreneurs to mint their own virtual coin-like token and sell them through crowdsales. China recently banned ICOs, while the U.S. has taken a more tailored approach, where SEC regulators have called out particular scams.

Get Data Sheet, Fortune’s technology newsletter

Bithumb was rumored to be adding Zcash for at least a week leading up to Tuesday’s announcement. In the days leading up to a Sept. 28 report anticipating the news on BTCNews, an outlet devoted to cryptocurrency coverage, the market value for Zcash shot up more than 70% to nearly $400 per Zcash token, though the price has since fallen back down to around $240.

David Lim, global business development manager at Bithumb, told Fortune in an email that the exchange takes multiple factors into consideration when deciding whether to add a new cryptocurrency. “Bithumb considers the coin’s Security, Technology, and Investment worth when listing a coin,” Lim wrote. He said that Zcash had met their criteria, noting that “its technology provides the strongest reason.”

Zcash differs from other cryptocurrencies in its use of “zero knowledge proofs,” a cutting edge cryptography concept that uses nifty mathematical functions to conceal certain information related to transactions, like the identity of the payer and payee as well as the amount paid. The technology is still very new and, therefore, still undergoing testing.

Zcash boosters say the cryptocurrency is compelling because it allows people to transact without requiring them to post all of their financial details in public. The virtual currency also attempts to solve the problem of fungibility, treating every Zcash token like every other Zcash token, regardless of their provenance. (In Bitcoin, one could imagine a scenario in which an exchange or government censors transactions based on where they originate or get sent.)

Bithumb now lists nine different cryptocurrencies for people to trade: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Dash, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Monero, and Zcash. Lim noted that the number transactions related to Monero, which Bithumb listed in August, and Zcash are growing rapidly.

This summer Bithumb disclosed that hackers had pillaged tens of the thousands of dollars as well as personal information of customers from its servers. The breach was not as disastrous as the infamous Mt. Gox hacking in 2014, which resulted in that exchange’s closure.

“Bithumb will continuously introduce competitive coins in Korean market by studying their technology and considering the cryptocurrency market status,” Lim said.

For more on Zcash, watch the below interview with Nathan Wilcox, project manager at Zerocoin Electric Coin company, makers Zcash, which Bithumb recently posted to its official YouTube channel.

Bitcoin could be heading to $6,000 by year-end but brace for volatility, experts say

Bitcoin could be heading to $6,000 by year-end   Bitcoin could be heading to $6,000 by year-end, some experts say 
11:55 AM ET Tue, 3 Oct 2017 | 00:52
Bitcoin could rally nearly 40 percent to hit $6,000 before the end of the year but investors should brace for more volatility, according to industry experts.

The cryptocurrency was trading around $4,333 on Tuesday.

The third quarter has been one of the most eventful in bitcoin's history. It is up over 74 percent in the September quarter, with a shifting landscape in regulation and developments in the underlying technology taking place in the last three months.

Here's what has happened so far and what experts think is coming next.

Infighting and split

Bitcoin faced record-high transaction times due to congestion on the network. To solve that, the amount of data that could be processed in one transaction needed to increase. But the community was divided on how to solve this.

This resulted in a "fork" earlier this year that split bitcoin in two. Bitcoin remained, but a new crytocurrency called bitcoin cash was created.

On the core bitcoin network, an upgrade known as SegWit2X was implemented, which would help increase the transaction speed. The full back story can be read here.

Bitcoin's market cap is about 10 times that of bitcoin cash. Since it started trading at the beginning of August, bitcoin cash has risen to nearly $900 before falling to current levels of around $402, according to Coinmarketcap.com.

Shift of power to Japan

China was once the dominant driver of the bitcoin price. But regulators in the country have been cracking down on the cryptocurrency, banning so-called initial coin offerings (ICOs) where companies raise money through cryptocurrencies.

China's major bitcoin exchanges OKCoin, Huobi and BTCChina have halted trading for customers on the mainland. At the start of the quarter, Chinese yuan accounted for around 17 percent of bitcoin trade globally, according to industry website CryptoCompare. By the end of the quarter, it was less than 3 percent.

Meanwhile, Japan has been more open to cryptocurrencies. Regulators there legalized bitcoin and major retailers have begun accepting it as payments. And last week, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) officially recognized 11 companies as registered cryptocurrency exchange operators.

CNBC reported that major Japanese banks are looking into creating their own digital currency called the J-Coin, with backing from major institutions.

Record high

The third quarter also saw bitcoin hit an all-time high of $5,013.91, according to data from CoinDesk.

Regulatory support in some markets, as well as rising interest from institutional investors, has helped boost the value.

$6,000 bitcoin in sight?

"Throughout the year we've been predicting the bitcoin price will surpass $5,000 and creep closer to $6,000 by year's end. That prediction is looking more in line with market sentiment these days," Thomas Glucksmann, head of APAC business development at Gatecoin, a cryptocurrency exchange, told CNBC by email.

But he warned investors to get ready for more volatility in November. This is because some in the bitcoin community might move to reject SegWit2X. This could create another split in bitcoin, and potentially create another cryptocurrency.

Charles Hayter, CEO of industry website CryptoCompare, said that bitcoin could hit $5,000 by the end of the year. This will be supported by increased regulation to cryptocurrencies and ICOs.

"Bitcoin's biggest price catalyst is regulation. Japan has breathed life into the price and as the fog of uncertainty clears in other jurisdictions, clarity on regulation will release a break on the price," Hayter told CNBC by email.

Bitcoin may soon be a 'rational, expected' part of a portfolio, Bitstamp's Dan Morehead says

Dan Morehead, chairman of digital currency exchange Bitstamp, said bitcoin and other digital currencies will likely become assets serious investors will want in their portfolios.

"Bitcoin's essentially going to revolutionize currency, or money," Morehead said on Wednesday at the Sohn Investment Conference in San Francisco, which was attended by portfolio managers and asset allocators.

"If it does work, the upside is so high, it's a rational, expected thing to have in your portfolio," he said.

Bitcoin is "going to disrupt money just like voice-over IP" took away the dominance of giant telecommunications companies on communication, he said. VOIP, or voice over internet protocol, is the technology that allows real-time voice calls over the internet.

The blockchain technology behind bitcoin has led to the development of many other digital currencies, such as ethereum and litecoin.

Morehead said he considered those blockchain-based tokens to be protocols, a system of rules similar to HTTP and others that enable the internet to exist as it does today.

Right now, those protocols may run the internet, but most of the profits are going instead to the applications, such as Google's Gmail, which are built on top of those protocols.

In contrast, Morehead said that in a blockchain-based world, the protocols such as bitcoin take 95 percent of the earnings, while the "application," such as the digital currency exchanges, take a smaller share of the profits.

"Only a tiny bit is in the companies," he said, pointing out that cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase only has a valuation of about $1.5 billion, compared with bitcoin's more than $70 billion market capitalization.

That has a "very interesting implication for investing," Morehead said.

About 13 percent of bitcoin-U.S. dollar trading volume took place on Bitstamp Wednesday, according to digital currency data website CryptoCompare.

Morehead also founded Pantera Capital, a blockchain investment firm and one of the largest institutional owners of bitcoin, according to its website.

Wednesday's event is the West Coast version of a New York-style investment conference, which are best known for hedge fund managers making market-moving presentations.

The Sohn conferences benefit pediatric cancer and other causes for underserved youth. The conference was presented in partnership with CNBC.

The value by unit doesn't matter because the number of coins or tokens are arbitrary.

What matters is the market cap, and even market cap can be misleading

If one account is banned then all accounts found to be your will be banned.

So either leave the forum or don't let they discover you are back and learn why did you got banned in the first time and don't repeat the same mistake

THEY are cashing out the altcoins profits to BTC market.

Then they will crash btc and make alts rise, and repeat

Where will we accelerate your transactions now
