4541  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: BTC-e's Big Claim: Bitcoin Withdrawals to Begin Tomorrow on: September 06, 2017, 06:32:10 AM
Has anyone actually received anything from them yet? I haven't actually heard anyone getting a successful cashout.

55% is actually a pretty good percentage considering the fact that the US government was on it. When liberty reserve got shut down nobody got a cent, and even after a few years now still no user have gotten anything back.

Also, how long do I have to wait for me to get a full refund instead of just 55%? If i cashout now will i get the IOU token as well?
4542  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitcoin Prices - Different Exchange Comparisons on: September 04, 2017, 11:45:04 AM
I'm interested in looking at a live chart of the bitcoin prices from different exchanges. I trade on Bitmex and I am wanting to compare the bitcoin prices against the other exchanges to see the correlation between them. This could be very useful in knowing when to buy/sell. Ive google the hell out of but cant find what Im looking for.

I would recommend using 3 services for this. All of which provide completely real time bitcoin pricing. Bitcoincharts.com, bitcoinwisdom, and cryptocompare. Bitcoinwisdom is the most well known but they have a limited range of exchanges that you are able to choose from, bitcoincharts has most of the exchanges, and even foreign exchanges are included in there. Cryptocompare has a lot too but only USD.

Up to your personal preference but cryptocompare has the best interface out of these three imo.

Just a reminder though that arbitrage usually doesn't work out with BTC/fiat pairs because of volatility and high tx fees. Don't attempt to trade too much, you might end up losing out instead.
4543  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Can be $5,000 Again? on: September 04, 2017, 11:27:56 AM
Yeah, it will most likely reach the 5000$ again. It is easier to get there when you hace already been there.

Plus, the rumors and people saying it will touch 5000$ probably make many people expect that price to sell as you say. Sure it was the price target for many, and thus they sold once it reached it.

This was extremely likely to happen before this correction came along and painted the whole crypto market in red, essentially. I'm not sure about whether it is able to hit $5000 right now due to the updated regulations regarding crypto investing by the chinese government. Honestly i'm not fond of the majority of ICOs at all(the few that gets the most media attention are usually complete BS, and the actual good ones are never discovered or even have an ICO), but it means a lot to traders and speculators.

I think that we will recover to around $4500 before another bear wave puts us to the test. If $4000 can hold up then potentially we can settle at around $3900-$4200. But otherwise we may be looking at $3000-$3500.
4544  Economy / Speculation / Re: China banned companies from raising funds through ICO on: September 04, 2017, 11:12:50 AM
Market have already shown reaction to this news, hope it will recover fast.
Yesterday crypto were dumped due to profit taker and now this bad news broke out
http://altcoin.media/2017/09/04/breaking-news-china-banning-companies-from-conducting-icos/

I personally think that altcoin markets are going to be most affected and not really bitcoin. We have seen this already but the trend is just going to keep going. Altcoins have fallen both in fiat values and bitcoin values.

We should be able to see bitcoin dominance shoot through 60% comfortably through this, in my opinion.

I don't think that even if bitcoin does recover it will recover that much right now. We could go to $4500+ again but that would be met with strong resistance that could potentially collapse the whole bubble.
4545  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC price and its correction. on: September 04, 2017, 11:05:12 AM
Hi everyone. New in crypto and very enthusiastic about it. Have some questions as  lately bought some btc. How do you think guys will present correction of btc take much time? As I hopped to buy some eth also before the Metropolis. Can this correction of btc influence eth price so that metropolis release will have no effect on eth price? Thank you for any thoughts.

Well we've seen two corrections in a span of 3 days, not a good sign at all for the crypto market.

In fact this could potentially be the pop of the bubble. I think we may see one or two more bull waves before this thing ends but it could well just break the floor due to people panic selling, and resulting in a long squeeze.

I generally agree with what alyssa said, short term if we could recover quick enough then we would be testing out $4500 once again. If not, then we could go down to $3500-4000 range.
4546  Economy / Speculation / Re: How low will BTC crash in following days/weeks? on: September 04, 2017, 10:58:52 AM
I thought that the price was actually going to continue to go up and the bubble is going to continue to grow in the next few weeks, but since the Chinese government thought otherwise i have revised my prediction.

I think that short term wise, we will hit $4000. The price should rebound up to around $4500 though before strong resistance that drives it down, through the $4000 floor potentially. We could even retest $5000 but i don't think we will break it, everything is bearish right now.

Is it still a correction because of weekend?  Huh

Nope. China just banned ICOs.
4547  Economy / Speculation / Re: WILL BITCOIN PRICE NEVER GO DOWN? on: September 04, 2017, 10:46:57 AM
Bitcoin prices always go up every day, and the price can not be stopped, if always like this, when bitcoin prices will go down?
Or will not the bitcoin price go down?

Bitcoin price has gone down from the correction that we've seen that drove us from nearly $5000 to $4700, and again from $4700 to $4300.

The truth is that in a bubble everything seems to be going up and there is crazy profits that can be enjoyed by everyone, but as soon as something bad happens the market is extremely vulnerable and it can go downhill very quickly.

China banning ICOs will impact bitcoin negatively in the short term but i think that panic sellers will soon realise that btc is not actually what is mostly backing those ICOs but rather Ethereum, meaning that btc is likely to hold its ground quite firmly but altcoins will fall.
4548  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: ConfirmTX.com's Free* bitcoin transaction acceleration service on: September 03, 2017, 03:57:32 AM
Seems kinda shady that you aren't willing to disclose what pools you are with. My guess is that this just sends a request to AntPool's accelerator (which is free) once the user has paid. Some pools (ie Bitfury) also sometimes mine some very low fee transactions just to help people out, so I think that this service really does nothing that isn't already doable by others.

Be more transparent. The 0 fee tx you posted was from BTC.TOP - a pool that has confirmed my 10 sat/byte fee consolidation transactions when the mempool had a very high average fee.
We are running miners and have contact with several pools, since we are providing free acceleration of upto 500 byte transactions It's not necessary for us to disclose our business model and we are not using any other free service. Please try to send 0 btc fees transaction, without using any acceleration and try to get it confirmed within a day. This 0 btc transaction which I have posted before was submitted on our site 8 hours ago.

I agree with Darkstar, i think you need to tell us what pools that you have partnered up with.

In the past, we have seen other people trying to earn money by submitting your transactions into the antpool transaction accelerator, which is free, and charging money for this service. I mean it is not an outright scam, but it is questionable behaviour.

As a business i think that you should be as transparent as possible with your business model. Hiding it does not help your business at all, especially when you have so many competitors that are disclosing which pools you are worknig with publicly.

But acceleration for tx's up to 500 bytes definitely seem nice. Does it mean that i can send a transaction with 0 fee, and as long as it doesn't have too many inputs i can submit it? Or is there a fee limit to it?
4549  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Neteller and BTC on: September 03, 2017, 03:55:04 AM
I've read all your comments and all of them are highly appreciated.
Thank you so much.

I think the best thing to do is trying to save up a large amount, instead of sending all the BTC...and wait a little maybe the fees go down.

Thanks again to all of you.

A really big problem is that xapo continues to pay unnecessarily high amounts of transactions fees. Even paying half of what they pay will be able to get you a confirmation in the first block, seeing what other xapo users have been paying recently.

Why do you need those bitcoins anyways? If you want to buy something online you could possibly just pay it in neteller. If you just want to get your bitcoins in your own wallet, you don't like to store them on xapo and you are only trading small amounts at a time, then trade p2p. Get the other guy to send the btc directly to wherever you want the coins to be sent to instead of going through an exchange platform. But xapo probably gives you the best rates as i said.
4550  Economy / Speculation / Re: So where exactly are we in the bubble? on: September 03, 2017, 02:29:01 AM
I know y'all have seen this diagram before, and with BTC just crossing $3,800 as I type, where do you think we are in the bubble?



Aw man so cuz I'm a noob it won't post the image... Oh well. Its basically that "main stages of a bubble" chart. Which crypto most definitely is in. But are we just beginning the true ascent, or have we reached the peak? Thoughts?

We are close to, if not already at the new paradigm level. The correction from yesterday could potentially be the first sell off, and the next pump may be the bull trap coming in. Obviously it is hard to judge but this is what i think is happening.

People are saying that this is not a bubble and others are predicting crazy growth for next year. I think this is a very clear indicator that people are extremely greedy right now, and when the mania ends the price will correct down to at least $3.5k.

Also, for anyone interested, goldman sachs predicted that the price of bitcoin would top at around $4800. They seem to be reasonably accurate looking at it right now. I think that the prediction by goldman sachs caused the sell-off at near $5k, rather than the other way round.
4551  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Have Paypal $95 for BTC on: September 03, 2017, 01:53:03 AM
Looking for $88 worth of bitcoins in exchange for my $95 paypal. Reply here or pm me if you want to get a faster response  I'll be back in a few hours.

I can take your paypal funds if you can send it as friends and family payment instead of goods and services.

Preferably you send first, but i really don't mind sending first to you either since you do have more trades here than me. The rate will be preev +5% and we'll split the bitcoin network mining fee in half(so you'll be getting 0.00025 BTC less).

Let me know if you want to proceed. I'll be online for the next few hours(hopefully). Just shoot me a PM or reply here.
4552  Economy / Speculation / Re: predictions of the price of a Bitcoin by the end of 2017 on: September 03, 2017, 01:40:56 AM
IMO it is probably going to be around $3k-$4k by the end of 2017. I would expect the hype to slow down a bit before the end of 2017 since the pump has gone on for way too long, longer than even the 2013 pump which is pretty crazy.

I expect a correction here and there in the next 3 months that could most likely drive the price down. But at the same time, i expect the price to rise a bit in this current month, and the two forces will cancel out each other, and therefore $3k-$4k is my prediction.

Still, a lot depends on what happens this month regarding the fork. It could continue rising till the end of the year if the fork goes well.

I share a similar opinion to you. I think that btc price is going to correct down to around $3000-$3500 and just hang around that level until the end of the year. This should happen in stages, the correction from $5000 down to where we are right now is the first one of them.

If the hype continues and the NY agreements is carried out successfully and seamlessly then we could see bitcoin going over $5k and staying above that level until the end of the year.

These are pretty volatile times, and it is really hard to accurately predict the prices. As a general rule of thumb though, don't put anything that you aren't ready to lose into bitcoin right now. It is still near ATH and you just never know when it's going to come down.
4553  Economy / Speculation / Re: From Gold & Stocks to Bitcoin: An Exodus? on: September 03, 2017, 01:30:07 AM
In the past many years, gold has not been a stellar performer and some are even calling gold earnings as flat and bland, so to speak. This year, it can now be told that gold seems to be lacking the necessary shine and luster. As investors are looking for other ways to get the most return of their money, many are shifting to cryptocurrencies...away from the traditional gold and the conventional stocks.

Added to this situation is the fact that some monetary policies espoused by many governments further shave the remaining trust some people on centralized financial system. This is making Bitcoin and other cryptos taking the role as the new safe haven...a title long held by the physical gold.

Right now, there is an "exodus" away from gold and stocks and the line is now on the doorsteps of Bitcoin. The thing is that Bitcoin is now the safe haven and at the same time this haven is also the heaven when it comes to earnings or ROI.

Thus, we now have Bitcoin as the new safe haven and the heaven of many returns! What a great twist of things...but this is not anymore surprising.

Interesting analysis. I think that precious metals stackers are still holding onto their stack because most of them are long term investors and not just there for the short term, but i've seen a lot of precious metals holders as well as stock traders diversify into bitcoin.

With the widespread media attention recently, i think there has been an influx of new bitcoin investors as a result. It is seen as the digital gold, that could potentially provide a better alternative for gold with more convenience.

This trend should continue into the future, as adoption continues to grow with btc. And this is ultimately what is going to be pushing bitcoin price up in the long run.
4554  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do think will happen when Bitcoin reaches $5000? on: September 03, 2017, 01:25:33 AM
What do you guys think will happen to Bitcoin when it reaches the $5000? Give your predictions and let's create some swarm intelligence.

I think first of all, whether it will or not still remains a pretty big question mark.

We came pretty close to achieving that level but the resistance was strong enough to bring the price down to what we started with at the start of the week, which is concerning as usually we would break through with ease.

But if it does, i think that short term wise $5k will be established a floor(until the bubble bursts), and we'd be looking at $5500-5700. Every time we break a barrier it always overshoots by at least a few hundred dollars.
4555  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can you predict when bitcoin price will saturated? on: September 03, 2017, 01:09:44 AM
I guess it already kind of is. When the price nearly doubles in a month this thing isn't going to be sustainable for very long. Market has actually been pretty saturated ever since the start of August.

Right now we are in a pretty big bubble. The crash yesterday is just the beginning, i think that we still have some fuel left in the tank for another pump which will essentially inflate the bubble even more and perhaps tip it over the edge.

It'll be pretty scary when the whole page on coinmarketcap turns red... So be mindful when you invest.
4556  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to 7000 HOT SEPTEMBER on: September 03, 2017, 12:46:35 AM
Quite bold predictions. You seem pretty bullish on bitcoin price for sure.

I don't think that bitcoin is going to go to that high of a price this month. Resistance at $5k is simply too strong and i'm not even sure if bitcoin is able to breach the $5k this month or not, let alone $7k.

Depends a lot on whether we can recover from this dump quickly, we may be able to break $5k. But i don't think that it is possible to hit what is your minimum target for this month at all.
4557  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcoin debit card with the best possible exchange rate on: September 02, 2017, 11:10:23 AM
I use Cryptopay (and WageCan soon). Never had any issues with my Cryptopay visa card from day 1 of using it. They are shifting to a contactless card, now that their contract with Wave Crest is coming to an end.

The buy/sell different is indeed in the +/- $100 range but it's worth it as they instantly exchange coins to fiat. You can even offload funds from the card and use it to buy bitcoins. The card worked flawlessly at retailers and online merchants. I even used it to pay for airline tickets.

I agree. I would use Cryptopay over Wirex too. Wirex seems to be having endless issues with their card loading system. Have a look at their thread.

You need to be verified to enjoy the entire unrestricted features of these cards. If you don't verify, loading can be a pain even if you stay within your limits. They seems to be cautious with anonymous accounts and will often ask you to verify or even block your card as you approach the card's upper limit.

Precisely why i quit using wirex.

They used to be a decent service when they were branded e-coin and i remember they had a lot of fans promoting them actually. But now, everything has changed. There are errors here, errors there. Whenever you do something, there is a constant lag.

As you said - you can't really get far without getting verified. Cryptopay is one of the only ones apart from wirex that still accept anonymous customers, but still. The limits have significantly lowered since EU updated their regulations.
4558  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is BTC going on bearish trend now? on: September 02, 2017, 11:06:28 AM
Yesterday BTC was peaked around $4900+ ~close to $5,000 and it is now back to $4,700

What's your take on it? Minor price correction? Or we will have a slightly down trend towards to Close to $4,000 which is almost a 15% Down



There are people that needed to cashout, so they did.

Price can't go up forever. We are in a bubble and everyone knows that. Whenever there is a pump, it could be the last one. That is a part of reason why $5k is so hard to go over right now and there is extremely strong resistance.

I do expect the bullishness to continue to at least mid-month. But after that, i'm not optimistic at all. I think that this bubble is pretty overinflated right now and could pop at any given moment. Not a great time to get in.
4559  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Neteller and BTC on: September 02, 2017, 09:57:17 AM
Hello,

I work for a company since 2 years ago and they pay my salary via Neteller every end of the running month, I've been using XAPO as my BTC wallet because I can use my money on Neteller to add funds to Xapo and transfer the USD to BTC instanly on XAPO, then I use to sell the BTC all the time sending to external address paying a very low fee.

Now the fees on XAPO to send BTC to external adress are ridiculous, Is there any other good wallet on the internet where I can add funds easily with Neteller and tranfers to BTC with small fees for transactions to external addresses ?



Yeah xapo used to cover your sending fees, and so did coinbase. But then the fees just gotten too high for them to cover so they started to charge customers for it.

You really don't get much choice with neteller. Xapo is one of the best available so you should stick to them, as all the others have shitty exchnage rates. Try to save up to a large amount, instead of sending the btc all the time. That way, you save on transaction fees.

THere is really no way to avoid the blockchain fee right now. Every single site is charging it. But it should come down a bit soon, hopefully after the hard fork if it goes successfully.
4560  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Any Good Bitcoin to Paypal/Other Online Payment System? on: September 02, 2017, 09:42:12 AM
Hello, it is been a long time since I logged in to this account and I think I will go back to cryptocurrency world. Now, I am looking for good bitcoin exchanges that offer exchanges like bitcoin to paypal or perfectmoney and other payment system. The more the exchange cover, the better for me because I plan to setup an bitcoin exchange that is open to my peers at a cost-plus pricing method.

Thanks to those who will recommend some website Cheesy Smiley

Wouldn't recommend selling bitcoin for paypal to anybody on this forum that you haven't previously dealt with, and trust fully. I wouldn't even recommend dealing with paypal if you are on the receiving end with a website, unless it is fully licensed. They can always charge you back easily, since most sites send as goods and services.

If you want perfectmoney, i would either go with changer.com, or XMLgold. I prefer changer.com though because of their live support, and the information is always updated real time. Other payment methods like payeer, perfectmoney voucher, advcash, okpay, and a range of altcoins can also be exchanged on changer.com.

If you're looking for better rates then go onto localbitcoins and post a trade. You can often get above spot rate for your coins.
