Is there a 52-Week price high-low (and/or for 7-day and 30-day as well)function on the site?  If not, would you consider add it to the site?

These info are really useful.  Thanks.

Just one advice I frequently heard - never invest more than what you cannot afford to lose.

blockchain wallet may hack
i had a wallet before in there i have same problem
probably you make backup and someone use your backup wallet
make new wallet or use electrum or bitcoincore

Overall wallet server not at all as my knowledge but the each wallet will be able to hacked with the public address with the verified password you have done with the pushed e-mail confirmed. This is happend to many people and their wallet alone indidually hacked bro.
If you do not want to hack the wallet you please always use the correct URL and don't connect any VPN while you are logging in to it. Especially do not use the Google seach like blockchain and goes to the first suggested link at there.

I am sure I was using the right URL to access my blockchain.info account online because each time it brough up my account balance info. 

Could someone be able to access my wallet knowing the 4 digits passcode on my iPhone wallet app (not the password to my account)?

Well it is really hard to compare the downfall of a currency to the downfall of a website, but it only really depends and the people who support and use bitcoins. If the majority of the people would support bitcoins then it would be able to sustain.

The market cap tells how much support each of the coins has.   At currently time, Bitcoin has only 1/3 of the total cryptos market cap.  That is sad because Bitcoin is one of the few most solid coins existing; it is for sure good for hodl for long term.

Annapotpot - You are very fortunate. My blockchain.info Wallet was hacked and all the bitcoins are gone.  They came after the BCH after they cleared out the bitcoins.  I don’t know how they did it because I have 2FA set up, but I did not received any message when this happened.  I checked my account setting and the phone number (showing the last several digits as the first part was ) seems to be the same.   I do not expect that I can get the bitcoins back, but is there a way to report this incident to the blockchain.info team?

some goods better to buy it using PayPal or any other way than bitcoin. Non refunded deal makes bitcoin weak in normal trading deals

That is why vendors should like it more than consumers.   Smiley

December happens to have a few holidays "New years Eve" and Christmas, so It's not that surprising that during this month especially near the holidays bitcoin started to dip as people buy others gifts and luxury items, . I'm guessing it will continue to fall till 2018. Lets not forget that the bitcoin fall has a huge snowball effect a lot of newbies into crypto as they get scared and sellout based on their emotions which isn't the way to go.

Due to the enourmous selling of bitcoin leads to this much fall.Before few weeks the price of bitcoin was greater than 19,000$ and I had expected the price of bitcoin will reach of 22 - 24 k$ at this year end.But due to sold of lot of holding bitcoin by seeing the price, the bitcoin price reduced further and further.

Some traders probably sold their positions so that they can have a ease vacation during these times.  Some people might also sold their BTCs to buy altcoins.  Hopefully, for those who sold their BTCs because of the vacation would start buying them back.

Bitcoin only has about 36% dominance now.  We need Lightening Network! 

I do understand that it is a huge responsibility to lanuch LN on Bitcoin, which has over $200B in market cap, so the developers need to take time to make sure everything is OK.  One cannot make any error in the implementation - any errors would be disastrous!

After seeing Ripple's incredible price jump which surpressing Ethereum's market cap makes me to wonder if this would happen to Bitcoin (I am hoping not).
71  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would Bitcoin ending up like Yahoo in the future? on: December 21, 2017, 04:01:48 AM
Bitcoin is losing its dominance now at only 44.6%.  It seems like BCH is catching up.  Solving its scaling issue would help itself and the whole crypto market.
72  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BCH is in Coinbase Wallet now! on: December 20, 2017, 05:43:44 PM
Coinbase is glitching right now; it is showing $8000+ for one BCH, but you cannot trade anything at this moment.
Yeah coinbase is known for having glitches when price get pumped or dumped hard, when many people want to dump their bitcoin cash which they have got for free in their coinbase wallet coinbase has stopped working. It will start to work again normally when coinbase owner will dump his coins on buy walls  Grin  Same used to happen when bitcoin start to get correction from huge pump....

In respond to your post:  http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42425857

It seems that there were really some insiders trading going on.
73  Economy / Speculation / Re: Effects from the Bitcoin Futures? on: December 20, 2017, 05:39:17 PM
fast forward to today...and we have a massive drop.

We are not close to having a stable crypto market.  I think we still are going to see some major problems with some of the biggest names in exchange business followed by more government led regulations.

Agreed that we are not even closed, but it seems that the swing is not as huge as before (or maybe there is no major correction yet).  It is very interesting on how the futures works.  It shows people's expectation on the price in the near future.

I’m not fond of the BCH in the beginning, but after it turned out OK, I’m also ok with it now.  Grin

Check out this news:  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-18/bitcoin-climbs-as-futures-debut-fails-to-ignite-attack-by-shorts

What the article was saying basically is that Bitcoin Futures allows people to short bitcoins and, by doing so, the price would drop - but in reality, the price stood still and did not drop.

I am so proud of Bitcoin and the community supporting it!
77  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Bitcoin Lightening Network Implementation on: December 18, 2017, 07:10:36 PM
Does anyone have any roadmap on the LN implementation on Bitcoin? 

I really hate to see Bitcoin continuously being attacked by some ignorant people that Bitcoin cannot be used as a currency because of the current slow processing speed and high transaction fee. 

78  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would Bitcoin ending up like Yahoo in the future? on: December 18, 2017, 07:01:58 PM
We need the Lightening Network to be implemented in Bitcoin.  Once it is successfully implemented, Bitcoin will complete its mission as a cryptocurrency and more demand would continue to bid up the price.
79  Economy / Speculation / Re: Effects from the Bitcoin Futures? on: December 18, 2017, 06:54:27 PM
Bitcoin futures really gave Bitcoin the validity it needed to get more mainstream. Now that we have BTC on Wall street, it is in all the news headlines. More and more people have been asking me about Bitcoin in recent weeks.

Totally agreed.  Bitcoin Futures helps Bitcoin to get into the mainstream.  It is a great promotion for Bitcoin.  Let's wait for the Lightening Network to kick in, then Bitcoin will become, officially, a currency.

Just read this article from Forbes and found the content somehow related to the topic of this thread:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericmack/2017/12/16/bitcoin-cryptocurrency-crash-cash-price-fork-futures/#142d70b21bd4

I underlined and bold the keytakes.

According to Dr. Daniele Bianchi, Assistant Professor of Finance at the Warwick Business School in the U.K., those crashes were essentially due to a few types of events: hacking, regulatory interventions, technology updates and subsequent competition from other crypto-currencies.

Blockchain watchers surely remember the drama generated by the hacking of leading exchange Mt. Gox, which was subsequently shutdown a few years later: both events caused the price of Bitcoin to crash at the time. China's chilly regulatory approach towards Bitcoin has also taken a chunk out of its value on at least two occasions. Most recently, the failed fork (explained here) contributed to a price dip, although it didn't last for long.

"This tells one simple story; the main risk for Bitcoin comes from external factors such as regulatory intervention and security breaches which might hit the credibility of the entire protocol and its effective usefulness as a method of payment/store of value," Bianchi explained to me.

He also expects that competing currencies like Bitcoin Cash could impact the original Bitcoin currently generating all the attention.

"The very open source nature of Bitcoin makes it vulnerable to competition, although the “first-mover” advantage had so far gave a gap with other competitors which is hard to close," he says.
