Dammi we are getting some serious financial acumen joining the forum these days. Did you invest your IQ at peak?

advanced Mathematical analysis suggests it's because it's not going up.
and probably because fewer people are willing to buy at this price than there are who are willing to sell at even lower prices.

damn you're late on the piece

Well, if you agree with their analysis. Being Nobel laureates doesn't t make them infallible. Even just the fact they claim it serves no socially useful purpose or that they do not offer anything of value can be seen as an example of the superficiality of their opinions on the matter.

Visa did not introduce any "new restrictions" afaik.

Having read through this thread and having been one of the earlyest adopters of this coin, I feel it's a real shame that a project which could have been interesting was so poorly and unfairly managed.
I am fully aware that any money I spent trying to revive the dying coin was my choice, and I am entitled to nothing, but I feel it's important to point out that this project is being run by a person with no regatfd for those that trust him.

It may not be a scam, but it's definitely not Worth risking on.

very disappointed.

No point. study hard, read a lot, there are still money to be made. Looking too far back is useless

Yeah, you try buying a house and some grocieries with a few bags of cocaine, then reasess your theroy

And in what way does this contradict what I stated, exactly?

You do realize that when VISA states they are not going to process cryptocurrency transactions, they are not talking about the pre-paid cards issued by third parties like Monaco? Those cards transact in fiat exclusively.

Yes of course they will follow it.

But this means nothing, nobody expected it to be different. There isn't much reason for VISA to modify their technology to accomodate for crpyto.

What this DOES NOT mean (and apparently most people don't realize it, coming from other threads) is that this spells the end of VISA crypto payment cards. Au contraire! It basically gives companies like Monaco the guarantee that they are and will stay very relevant.

Basically, VISA stated that they do not intend to process any crypto transaction on their network. This means VISA has no intention to let you use your bitcoin to pay a merchant who is accepting bitcoin. it also means they won't let you pay your bills to them in Bitcoin.

This is where companies like Monaco, Amon, etc. come in. They provide the customer with a VISA or MasterCard prepaid card, which is just a normal prepaid card where you "load" a certain ammount of Fiat money (say, US Dollars), and spend them at any vendor accepting the circuit.

The key difference from a Monaco card and, say, a standard pre-paid is that the provider (Monaco in this case) has a whole backend system which allows you to pay them in bitcoin or other supported cryptocurrencies, then THEY handle the conversion to "regular money", which is all that VISA ever gets to see on their system.

depends how early you go. early enough, you could solo mine, even. That would yield you 50 BTC/block at the time.

consider one thing, the number of blocks mined in one day in 2009/10 is the same as today (and reward was 4 times higher per block). consider, too, that there were a handful of miners, before it became hundreds, before it became thousands, etc. AND this is a time before large groups had managed to corner the market cutting out the Young adventurer.

All in all, there was a time you could make thousands in a day, though that was a flash. tens was easily done for a while, even after pools became a must. A bitcoin a day was very realistic for a long time.

Western civilization existed before banks were about

I see nothing odd or wrong with this. Visa is the last company you'd want to be "processing" crypto transactions.
First of all, crypto transactions process themselves, they do not need processing by a third party. Secondly, VISA's usefulness comes from being established and accepted Worldwide by a huge ammount of locations.

Leave the conversion in the hands of intermediaries like Monaco, etc. The card istelf is best left as perfectly standard fiat payer.

"market maker" is perhaps a misnomer, but there definitely are market manipulators. Some may explicitly collaborate with each other, others may simply read the signs and follow.
Regardless, markets are Always a mix of manipulation and fear-induced mass-hysteria (wether it's panic or FOMO). The smaller the market of a given asset (cryptocurrency in this case), the more suceptible to direct manioulation it is.

People who can control the market are people that have very large percentages of the traded capital. though they can also be media influencers, hackers, etc.

In terms of "other crypto", there still really isn't any crypto that is fully detached from BTC, therefore when the panic seems to be about the "future of crpto", everything collapses and the ones with less maturity and trust (and money) tend to drop more. butcoin drops a little less because liquidating alts often requires purchasing BTC before liquidating.

You never receive bitcoin, bitcoin are simply "assigned" to a specific public key which someone owns. The data is stored in the blockchain, which is public and distributed. When you turn your PC on a minute or a century later, once you are up to date with the block chain, and providing you still have control of the private key that generated your public address, you'll be the sole controller of the values associated to it.

Now this, this is what I call a strategy.

A terrible one, not just because it could live you wiping your arse with banana peels for the rest of your life, but because in general it shows an attitude and a greed that only damages yourself, your family, and the community as a whole.

We are over 1000% increase year-on-year with bitcoin, and you worry a 30% drop is crazy?
