This explains why the pump seems to have been ended for now, but it doesn't explain why it's not dropping fast back to under 30k.
So it may be something more. I'd wait a little before drawing any conclusions. Clearly, the expectations seem to very high atm, so a short cool down is not that bad.

Please & thank you

You may be thinking too far. I am not convinced that Bitcoin will get to $1M during my lifetime, I expect that at some point it will stop having both crypto winters and huge bull runs, getting to a slow rise, kind of like gold usual trend.
As somebody earning (and spending) bitcoin for quite some time, Bitcoin has already made my life easier. Of course, the higher the price, the better.
But I would love see its acceptance in shops start rising faster than its price.

Multumesc, dar l-am (sau le-am?) ratat.
A fost atat de rapid ca nici nu mai are sens sa il pun pe prima pagina.
Dar na, la asa premiu si doar 16 locuri... nu ma mir. Poate c-om avea mai mult noroc data viitoare...

Maybe my wording was not so great. I meant the card that will expire in the spring of 2024. It's the card that stopped working exactly when I actually needed it (due to migration to different BIN and such)
I think that it's from the batch after Contis, but I don't rely that well on my memory.


LMAO, this is actually not even an impossible scenario! Highly unlikely though  


Oh, yes, you're totally right!


True and, sadly, very true...

If I understood the rules correctly, this should be OK. If it's not, apologies..

From what I know, the last spike that resulted after the last ETF-related fake news should tell loud and clear that US ETF approval is not priced in.


Short term movements are expected on most ETF news. But serious decline? I kind of doubt it (however, not an investment advice). Keep in mind that hash rate is going up like crazy and halving is getting closer.

PS. Shouldn't this topic be part of Speculation?

O noua reeditare, o noua sansa!

Indeed, an ugly surprise. I've just read too about Binance cards. Well, it's not a huge surprise, since they already have their ongoing issues with EUR processing partners, still, I thought that they'll find a replacement.

And since you said Wirex, it's interesting how the tide turns,... on my last check Wirex old card started working (!), so although they have quite some conversion fees and quite incapable support... they managed to stay afloat.


Many of their cards will still be valid and I expect that trying to use them has a tiny chance to do (them) some ugly surprises somewhere, by some odd combination of bugs and incompetence somewhere on the chain.
Or, yeah, copy-paste is also a valid reason.

Happy Birthday and all the best wishes, but I want to warn (again and again) on the risks of bitcointalk as sole or main income.
I can guess that the situation / living in Bangladesh is probably not great, and having a little child makes everything more busy, but try to allow yourself the time and energy to develop yourself and to also get a good enough day job sooner or later, allowing yourself the "luxury" to not see the end of a signature campaign as "end of the world", for example.
Best of luck!

Bitcoin is a tool. A great one. But, like the case for most tools, one needs to understand how to use it for his own benefit.
And yes, this means that Bitcoin is not for everybody.
* some will lose it because he doesn't understand how to keep his coins safe
* some will lose money because they don't have the patience and missed the basics of investing
* some will be lured to various scams or meaningless ways to waste money and energy
and the list can continue.

Plus, with the time ticking and the price going higher every cycle, more and more (failing to understand the power of 8 digits after the decimal point) will think they've missed the train or that Bitcoin is not for them.
And this is sad, because all that Bitcoin needs is a little patience and willingness to learn (and I don't mean here the cold math behind it).

I tend to believe that any discussion on this matter cannot bring anything new and cannot do anything good. If Satoshi is alive (and I hope so), if real clues are ever shown, they can become a threat to his life.
Plus I think that any new "evidence" in this matter is only meant to bring a bit more audience to this or that blog or newspaper. Lopp used to have very useful posts, imho this is not really one of those.

Tocmai il vazusem si eu si cand am venit sa il anunt, vad ca deja ai scris tu 
Bafta!

Am observat dupa postarea anterioara si nu am mai editat-o: cred ca aici ai o greseala (posibil de copy-paste).

...although I would not be surprised if it jumps again much more, maybe as much as last time though

Indeed, quite a peculiar post. It wants to be somewhat reassuring for its users/customers, but by not denying the hack.. everybody can understand whatever they want, even the worse case scenario.
Since I do have the seeds of negativity in my thinking, I will for now assume they did get hacked and didn't want neither to openly admit it (to avoid panic, especially as you said, it's not that a big amount), nor to deny it so they don't get caught lying.

Thank you

Ma bucur foarte mult! Le-ai meritat si cred (din experienta proprie) ca si aveai nevoie de acea deconectare.


Am retinut si am pus Creta pe lista de destinatii de neratat. Mersi!


Problema cea mai mare nu este dimensiunea premiului, ci faptul ca nu este in Bitcoin (bineinteles, fiind asa mic nu prea putea fi in Bitcoin). Asemenea concursuri in general nu sunt permise (sau cel putin un in zonele unde ne uitam noi). Si da, deja a fost sters.


Thank you all for the generosity and for the opportunity.


Asta este o idee foarte inteligenta. Multumim 1miau.

The bitcoins are not in the wallets, the wallets only hold the keys. The bitcoins "are" on the blockchain and copies of it are in a lot of computers all over the world.
The amounts of fiat in the bank accounts are written into databases which for most banks I expect to be backed up securely too.

In both cases people relying on the technology will have to wait patiently until the internet is restored, the things continue from where they left (especially bitcoin) and they get access to their money again.

The fact you compare one forum with a decentralized network like Bitcoin tells that pretty much want this pointless discussion that was started many times before.
An attack like you're saying would come from an intelligent race from outer space. And if so, each and everybody will have more urgent issues than their money.

I've also done today a test mix (with Tor browser). And apart of the fact the mixed coins have arrived almost too fast after my sent ones (less than one hour), all was OK.
I've also noticed this message and I wanted to say about it, but I see there are already two reports
