Bitcoin has fallen after reached $5000 mark, and bitcoin already drop back few times during the way to $5000.
If you keep wondering when the best time to buy bitcoin, buy now. Bitcoin will not drop to $3000 instantly without any problems affecting it, such as terrible hard fork or a big exchange get hacked. Well, I believe bitcoin will recover to $5k again, soon or later but there is possibility to reach over $5500 in this month, buy now or you may regret if bitcoin start to climbing again. I guess bitcoin may fall by the end of October if segwit2x hard fork still on progress to be activated.

Good luck for your idea.
Good luck to convince a country to full adopt digital currency without traditional paper money, especially using your blockchain version.
For the first time, I thought you talked about bitcoin, but it was not. So, this blockchain could adopted by every county?

We now have the technology.  A blockchain based national cryptocurrency, directly created, controlled and operated by the central bank, which keeps its independence from elected officials will permit friction-less trading by all participants with transparent transactions.

Do you think a centralized digital currency could create an opportunity to increase the value of a 'fiat currency' and surpass bitcoin?
Maybe a country desperate looking a way to compete with bitcoin, and it turns out could achieved using your blockchain?
How a digital currency which controlled by central bank could keep its independence from elected officials or can not be manipulated?

I am wondering why the first test is reach $5000 mark Why not $10K? Whatever it is, bitcoin will achieve that in 2-3 years later.
Investors should know and aware of bitcoin capabilities, from cents to $5K within 8 years is a fantastic achievement for digital currency, and the way bitcoin as p2p decentralized make sure govs can not control it but only issues regulation whether to allow bitcoin or ban it.
But, look at the first world countries, they are planning to legalize bitcoin such as Japan and South Korean already did. Bitcoin brings many advantages for citizens and wouldn't harm fiat currency obviously.

Developers? They maybe know what will happen about the development of bitcoin, which one will be implemented or not, just like segwit2x hard fork.
Look at unconfirmed transactions https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions that have decreased after segwit activated.
Miners have big role and may influence bitcoin price as they hold big portion of bitcoin, generated by mining activity every day, 24 hours and 7 days a week. But, 2 suspect which could manipulate bitcoin price, decide to buy and sell at he right time are big whales and exchanges. Exchanges could set certain price at their will, if they want to sell BTC100-BTC500 at one time when bitcoin reach $5000, in the next hour, the price will decline to $4700.
They are insider traders, exchanges itself.

Obviously, most cloud mining could run because many people believe will get profits, but I am very skeptic about that.
How if no one trust them anymore, who will pay those people who already invested and still not achieve ROI?
The idea of cloud mining is very simple. Instead of spending thousands of dollars on Bitcoin mining hardware, you can pay someone to lease their hardware and keep the profits to yourself. The company that rents out the miners takes care of the maintenance and all of the hassle of setting them up.
However, you are required to pay a fee for their service but we’ll get to that in a minute.
https://99bitcoins.com/genesis-cloud-mining-review-scam-legit-investment/
If you invest $170 on genesis mining and expecting to get small payment every week/month, it takes 4-6 months before ROI.
The point is, you wasted the potential of $170, if you invest $170 in bitcoin and wait 4-6 months, it will grow 30%-70% for sure.

Note it, thanks for the information.
Waiting for the payment, and
I remove my signature right now.
Thanks to KICKICO devs team 

Hold bitcoin is a good thing but in some cases, you'll miss great opportunity to purchase more cheaper coins at the dips, only if you sell at the peak and buy back some time later. But, we don't know for sure when it will be the highest price before get corrected. At least you should depend on your prediction based on current situation and the latest news about bitcoin development.

Indeed, altcoins air drops just like free money, don't forget to add bitcoin cash into your list. Some people who have more than BTC50 in their wallet should enjoy another free 50 bch, sell it at $1000 and they get $50,000 free money.

I do not recommend for newbies to trade bitcoin-altcoins, you could start with bitcoin-fiat but this is a risky way to get profits as many people loss in their way through trading.

Indeed, bitcoin has reached new ATH $4650 and still persist above $4600 right now, and remember; segwit has just been activated few days ago.
Segwit is a big deal, we can send big amount of bitcoin and just pay low fees righ now, I am so happy about it.
It is a good scale solution, hopefully all of the exchanges and wallet platforms will support segwit transactions through P2SH addresses.
Then, the Bulls will run unstoppable to $5000 in this week.

Bitcoin with segwit is the biggest development right now and look at the price, over $4600 which bitcoin has reached new ATH https://news.bitcoin.com/markets-update-bitcoin-skyrockets-to-4650-setting-new-all-time-high/?utm_source=OneSignal%20Push&utm_medium=notification&utm_campaign=Push%20Notifications, even though not all of us could enjoy segwit due to wallet devs still doesn't update new wallet that support segwit. On the other hand bitcoin cash seems declined in the last 24 hours, around $576 and will continue to decrease if many people want to move their funds into bitcoin. But litecoin sould survive sofar and gain more value righ now compare to few days before. Litecoin has advantages and cheaper price which is always used as trading object, that's why it still stand up until today.

There are a lot of money in circulation, from all over the world, many rich peoples or people who trying to be one of them.
And, sometimes people just confuse where to invest their money, or just want to diversify it into different objects.
With all of those money, no wonder ICO could get so many investors and huge funds involved.
But, the main thing is; people know which projects will be beneficial and worth to invest.

Welcome  , hopefully you enjoy in here.


why you choose to invest in dashcoin and ripple? You should learn and find out about these coins potential, not bad at all.
I have no doubt about bitcoin, but do not buy it at the peak, I guess bitcoin price will fall in October. But, if you don't want to miss current rally, you can invest now and sell it if you have certain % of profits.


I am not sure there is a company to manage your funds, trade it for you.
But, there are some new projects to invest, if they can make it works, successful, then you may get big portion.
I prefer to trade by myself, choose between coinbase, kraken, bittrex to do it. You can check it this site : https://bitpicker.io as comparison between exchanges.
Google may help about which exchange is perfect for you.

Well, you'd better provide more information, many reasons instead of just stated it as scam without legit evidence, or you just want to spread fud.
KickICO has great idea and solid devs team, already have their product and pre-sale succeed which collected 5000 eth.
ICO sale start yesterday and feel free to review this project, as far as I know; there is no problem about it.

Core developers aware of any problem that may occur if segwit2x hard fork be implemented.
But, I think this problem should be can be solved through consensus which segwit2x has gain over 92% support from the miners.
Then, core develoers stated don't want to give more power to miners, not sure what it means but if segwit could resolve bitcoin problems regarding high fees and confirmation time, then no need to another hard fork. At least, we still have 2 months before segwit2x hard fork will be implemented, at this period, segwit should be able proven itself as reliable scale solution.

This forum is great resource to get more information about bitcoin, just using search function in the right board such as mentioned above and this : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=4.0 might be help.
Usually, if I have some basic questions about bitcoin, just check on this : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/ there are a lot of information in there such as Technical articles, Protocol specification, Bitcoin Improvement Proposals, Software, mining, etc.

500%? No one I guess, most people will take 100% profit from initial capital, moreover if someone could obtain more than that.
Because bitcoin prices like bubbles which mean it always fluctuate, after reach highest peak, its price will fall down to uncertain point.
That's why, selling bitcoin in order to get profit is a good choice, and we can buy back after bitcoin drop back.
But, I do not recommend to sell all of your bitcoins at once, because there is possibility the price will continue to rise.

I prefer local exchanges over trading platform like kraken, poloniex or bittrex because it's easy to deposit fiat currency and withdraw directly to your bank account through local exchanges. On the other hand Shapeshift is a good platform, trusted and reliable because this company does not collect personal data on its customers and never collecting customer funds into company accounts, no emails or passwords, no lengthy sign­up process, no accounts, no bid and ask orders, although it offer high fees for exchange transactions. How do I choose? From customers reviews obviously, as they are trusted source based on their experience using those exchanges. If you want to trade, go to trading platform, if you want just exchange your coins, go to shapeshift.

Actually, this is a good idea if you constanly maintain this thread with the new update of scam sites.
Most people in this forum, especially for experienced people knows to detect scam sites.
But, this is a good source information for newbies as they are the most victims due to these scams, simply because they are looking for easy money.

For those who using electrum and trezor should wait a little longer until wallet developers launch the new update which suitable for segwit transactions.
Yes, transfer all of your coins to the new address will takes high fess due to old wallet (start with 1) because we should pay 400 satoshi/byte for classic transactions. I recommend to wait for segwit transactions become more stable which may influence higher fees.
But, I am sure bitcoin will reach $5000 after this wallet problem ended, maybe in few days later.

Monero offers anonymity for your transactions which is suddenly gains more investors and reach over $130 right now.
Consider IRS already spend a lot of money over $88,700 to tracking bitcoiners who avoid taxes using a tool named chainalysis.
https://news.bitcoin.com/irs-crackdown-tracking-bitcoiners-with-chainalysis/?utm_source=OneSignal%20Push&utm_medium=notification&utm_campaign=Push%20Notifications
Then using monero and zcash become good options in order to avoid IRS tracking
