The only exchanges in that list that I have experience with are Binance and Yobit, I have not even heard about most of the other exchanges you've listed.
I think both Binance and Yobit are trustworthy, but I personally don't like their interface too much.

I'm currently mostly using Kraken, Bittrex and Poloniex.

Actually, after our further back and forth, here, it seems that our perspectives are a lot closer than I had originally thought.  We largely agree about many of the material underlying facts, their unfulfilled status that is continuing to contribute to upside bitcoin price potential.

If we disagree about anything, perhaps, it is merely the extent to which we refer to these kinds of potentials in being realized or at least the use of "inevitable" kind of language within our manners of description.

Thanks for clarifying those several points, and I hate to dox you in any kind of way, yet, if you had been investing in accordance with your ongoing bullish perspective, you gotta have more wealth than me?  and I am feeling in pretty decent shape these days.  hahahahaha...  Seems like I hardly even blink at some costs/expenses that I would have previously paused before indulging.  Furthermore, I am kind of considering ways that I can splurge in such ways to negate "money cannot cause happiness" proposals.  Surely, in real life, I was a bit arrogant before, but I have become even more arrogant, and I think that it comes with having more and more "fuck you" money.

It surely is a good feeling, and one that I did not think that I was going to have. 

About 4 years ago, I had a really good paying job, and I had left that job early with some uncertainties regarding whether I would ever (in my lifetime) be able to ever achieve that kind of compensation again, without having to work my ass off in order to achieve the kind of a cushy position that I had.  A couple of weeks ago, I met with one of my ex-co-workers at a social event, and he was kind of presuming that my finances must be much worse than they were prior to my separation from that previous lucrative and cushy job.  I should have held back with my information; however, I could not resist to inform him that in the last 4 years, I had become somewhat wealthy beyond my expectations and that in the past four years, I had made an income that would be more than 10x the total income of that previous lucrative job.  I did not go into details with him, but I did tell him that the profits were from bitcoin.  The more I then spoke with him about bitcoin, I could tell that he did not really know about bitcoin except to hear about how much it had gone up in value in recent times.  Crazy, crazy, crazy, and even 4 months ago, with BTC prices in the $2,600s, I would have been excited, but I probably would not have said anything... It was just on my mind that I am making way more money than what I would have been making with that lucrative job... and very much less pressure and stress than carrying out the duties of such job.

I like this guy already

in other news, Bitcoin; slow, expensive, and annoying...just the way I like it

I had not noticed.  I was mostly reading for substantive points, anyhow.




I'm sorry, I made a typo there.  I had meant to refer back to your 20x assertion, and I accidentally typed 2x.  I went back and fixed that in my original post because I had really meant to say 20x.  I am glad that you caught that.   



I agree with both of those assertions.  Yes....

So in essence you are admitting, if we did happen to do another 20x, that would likely be a kind of "blow off" top that would likely end up in a kind of prolonged period of correction... Maybe we are kind of on a similar page, here, but I am kind of thinking that anywhere between another 4x and 7x price appreciation within the next year would be a "blow-off" top too, and anything beyond 7x would be beyond any kind of reasonable expectations that I could conceive.




I hope that he is not referring to a 1 or 2 year scenario because 2.4m in that kind of timeframe would be in the territory of absolute insanity, and personally, I would think that a 2.4m scenario would be quite difficult to achieve before 2024-ish.... not impossible, but quite a bit in the "slim chance" arena.



O.k.  Perhaps, I read too much zealousness in your earlier response, and sorry that was my wrong interpretation.  I do think that $100k is more possible in 2018 - but even that seems a bit on the difficult to achieve scenarios.. probably less than 25%, but surely much more achievable than $400k.

Also, yeah, we already know that bitcoin has tendencies to outperform expectations, so surely I doubt that either of us are locked into our current prognosis, because, for example, if, in the next six months, events unravel in one direction or another that is outside of expectations, then those events could also cause a need to tweak price predictions for the subsequent six months or so.



EXACTLY!!!!!   Those are two factors that remain BIG in this whole influential formula... Let's continue to monitor these factors, and I surely find these two factors to be quite exciting and also ongoingly difficult to quantify with any kind of precision.

I suppose that if your self-assessment of your perspective and methodology seem to be working out pretty good for you overall, then it would be difficult to change, and as you suggest, there would likely not be any need to change a system that is working and does not seem to be broken.

I will admit that the BTC price performance of about the past 4 months has been about 3x to 4x more bullish than amongst my most bullish of perspectives, in the early to mid part of 2017 and previously.  Accordingly, such bullish performance has caused me to tweak my BTC expectations even further upwards. 

Personally, I don't think that my tweaking of my BTC price expectations further upwards is some kind of pie in the sky getting caught up in hoopla, but instead is based on a kind of solid evidence based reassessment of the situation based on such evidence.  I surely doubt that we are at the top of the current trend, and we will be testing the resistance of ATH price points in the near future (within 1 week to 3 months); however, I still think that another 2x is a bit much to expect in the coming year or so. 

Think about it Fakhoury, we should not be measuring BTC performance merely within the bounds of our current calendar year, but we should be considering the whole upwards price performance, which is largely a more than two year phenomenon and a bouncing off of support that was largely in the mid $200s from 2015.  So, o.k.  If we look at $250-ish as the start off point, then we have a bit more than a 78x price increase from $250 to $19666.  Furthermore, we have a bit of an increasing exponential curve, especially since about August 2017, yet at the same time, we have a lot of bullish fundamentals, including Segwit and including increased financialization and including increasing world adoption, so much better liquidity, but even with all of these positive things going on in bitcoin, buying pressure still has to keep up with the exponential increases in price, so yeah, I can see another 65% to 7x price increase in the coming year (I mean beyond our current ATH of $19666); however, I have a bit more difficult time appreciating any kind of meaningful likelihood of another 20x within about the next year.  That would be fucking amazing, and not completely impossible from my perspective, but surely on the low end of probabilities, perhaps less than 2% in my current thinking... but hey, call me a conservative charlie.       

I am going to call you insane/crazy, perhaps with a couple of conditions.  First condition:  What you are saying does not seem to be out of the range of contemplation - however, each of those numbers under those time lines seem like  long shots - however, if the first one is met, then the second one would become more probable.  Second condition:  I hope that you are careful in terms of your own investment - because without revealing details, it seems to me that you should have a lot of value right now, whether you hold that value in crypto or fiat or alts or some combination, so in that regard, I hope that you are hedging what I perceive to be (and you seem to admit) your extreme thoughts.  hahahaha.. you and MacAfee...   I just realized ---- John, is that you?   

Ain’t no one stopping this.
