You're not the only one.
I'm watching the price multiple times per day just to get a good feeling when the price is growing.
It is actually really bad because when the price is dropping I get a bad mood.
I have been keeping Bitcoin for more then 4 years so my profit is high but I get used to peak prices.
Which is bad because a drop in price feels like a loss when in reality it's not.

Mijn docent Culturele en kunstzinnige vorming op de middelbare school bezit aardig wat Bitcoins.
Verder ken ik twee jongens van mijn opleiding die cryptocurrencies bezitten, de een Bitcoin de ander Monero en nog wat andere altcoins.
Persoonlijk vind ik het best vreemd dat er in mijn omgeving zo weinig mensen daadwerkelijk cryptocurrencies bezitten want je hoort er genoeg over in de media.
Ik denk dat het te maken heeft met de complexiteit van Bitcoin, want Nederlanders geven niet graag geld uit aan iets wat ze niet begrijpen.
563  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: the best currencies to store (hold) on: October 07, 2017, 05:01:25 PM
Personally I think the best investment for long term is Bitcoin.
I suspect that most altcoins will die in a couple of years.
At the moment there are to many coins/tokens on the market that basically do the same.
Some altcoins will definitely survive like Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero, Dash but I think Bitcoin will grow more over years.
564  Economy / Economics / Re: Dogecoin Petition for Amazon on: October 07, 2017, 04:48:11 PM
It would be hilarious if Amazon accepted Dogecoin before Bitcoin.
That would pump the exchange rate of Doge to the sky.
I will sign the petition because I like crypto implementation and it's also good for the popularity of cryptocurrencies.
565  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NEO - long term hold on: October 07, 2017, 03:21:26 PM
I'm not really informed about NEO but it seems to be a coin so don't they provide paper wallet creation?
Paper wallets are the best at holding cryptocurrencies for long term.
After generating the keys, put the paper in a safe or keep it in a shoebox under your bed.
566  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: So how much privacy do we really need? on: October 07, 2017, 03:14:46 PM
Bitcoin is anonymous because there is no personal information linked to the wallet address (if you don't use third party services like coinbase).
You're also not restricted to creating only one wallet per person.
The only privacy leak for Bitcoin is the meta data you send when you broadcast a transaction, this could be linked to your physical address.
I think it's comparable to cash, which is also anonymous but has your DNA on it

How much did your activity decrease?
I've seen my activity decreasing by 2 not more.
I think the moderators did some cleaning by removing unnecessary threads where you have posted on.
568  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin being a top currency on: October 07, 2017, 02:48:17 PM
I think it could be used as a generally accepted means of payment however not in the way you describe.
Bitcoin is a virtual currency that uses peer-to-peer, which means person to person without a bank controlling the currency (decentralized).
When physical Bitcoins would be made, the currency wouldn't be decentralized because there would need to be a company that creates these coins.
It's also inefficient, the only way I think of a uses would be coins with a value on it which could be redeemed to a wallet by scanning a QR code or manually typing a phrase. But that would be the same as just directly scanning a QR from a phone and you don't need a coin for that.
569  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Future of Blockchain? on: October 06, 2017, 08:19:13 PM
For me the blockchain technology is the best invention of this century. Especially in a society where corruption and fraud is increasing, this could be the solution. Because blockchain can be used to validate things without being controlled by one company. There are more uses to it but this being the most important in my perspective.
570  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Stolen ETH from myetherwallet.com on: October 06, 2017, 05:32:40 PM
I heard there was malware going around that modifies your clipboard when it detects a Bitcoin wallet address. So when you copy a wallet address it's different when you paste it. Did you check if the address you pasted was the one you intended to send your ether to? Maybe there is a similar malware for eth.
571  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you send Bitcoin without using an exchange? on: October 06, 2017, 12:04:06 PM
Bitcoin was created for decentralised peer-to-peer transactions.
It was not intended for exchanges at first, this came when Bitcoin got more popularity and value.
You can just send payments by signing a transaction with your private key and then broadcast it to the blockchain.
These steps are made more user friendly on specific desktop wallets like Bitcoin Core and others.
If you want to go deep into it, you should read about Armory and create a wallet on it.
It even lets you send payments without your wallet being connected to the internet, which is extra safe.
572  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi Nakamoto "who" or "what" is it! on: October 06, 2017, 11:53:17 AM
Well found however it seems to good to be true.
Also because three of the four companies are asian but motorola is american.
And if this was the case, it should have been leaked already because I don't think something like this could be kept secret by 4 companies for so long.

573  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin address holding $$ not BTC ? on: October 05, 2017, 11:52:08 PM
Like others said it's the current exchange rate at Blockchain.
You can set it back by clicking on the green button/icon with the amount of value on it.
574  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: where to buy bitcoin ? on: October 04, 2017, 10:43:25 PM
For the lowest fees you should go with an exchange.
There are many to choose from, it really depends on where you live.
For me Kraken was the best because the provide SEPA transactions at no costs.
The only charge a small fee every coin exchange you do.
575  Local / Nederlands (Dutch) / Re: nu weer Bitcoin Gold, HOPELIJK weer gratis coins on: October 04, 2017, 10:38:55 PM
Ik had er sinds gisteren nog niet veel over gehoord.
Daarom betwijfel ik of het ditmaal weer zo'n succes wordt als Bitcoin Cash.
De vorige keer vond ik het eigenlijk al vreemd dat het door zo'n fork mogelijk is om ineens 20 miljard aan marktwaarde toe te voegen.
Als dit goed uitpakt zullen er in de toekomst nog wel meer forks komen maar ik ben er vrij zeker van dat het niet het zelfde gewenste effect heeft.
Want het lijkt mij onmogelijk om laten we zeggen, elke maand 10 tot 20 miljard extra marktwaarde toe te voegen aan het totaal.

576  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin gold fork on: October 04, 2017, 10:17:26 PM
I'm not really informed about this specific fork but you should get your Bitcoin Gold without doing anything.
You just need to be sure that your (secret) private key is in your possession, most desktop wallets provide this feature.
When the fork happens an equivalent amount of Bitcoin Gold will be stored on your address.
After the fork can you access it by using a client for the specific fork and then importing the keys.
577  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BAT or Ripple on: October 04, 2017, 09:43:55 PM
I would say Ripple, it is stronger at this moment.
The price seems to be increasing while others tend to decrease.
I think it's caused by a meeting that will happen October 16-18.
Here is a link to an announcement on their official website: https://ripple.com/insights/news/announcing-swell-by-ripple/
People are always hyped when meetings like this happen, because good thinks can come out of it.
578  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin fork worries. on: October 04, 2017, 09:36:08 PM
Segwit2x increases Bitcoin's block size, solves the bitcoin scalability problem.
Some users are scared that the fork goes wrong that it will decrease the price.
There are also strong arguments against it that it will centralize the coin.
Because bigger blocks require more power which could lead to less people running full nodes.
So the power comes in hands of big mines/corporations.

580  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What do you look for when buying new coins? on: October 03, 2017, 12:02:34 PM
I read the coin's whitepaper and check the community behind it.
I also search if there's already a coin with the same idea and if so why it failed and could be improved.
For extra confirmation if the coin is good priced, I do some calculations to see what the price would be if the supply was equal to that of Bitcoin.
