You spoke too soon mate:

Bitcoin price: $4,954.81

It seems that $5k, is the next obvious barrier that we can go get over. It we still have some steam going then we could go on another push in the next couple of hours if not then it will settled around the $47++. Not bad though, as the start of the week is really good as we have seen the price just went off. It's gonna be interesting what the reason though with the sudden price increase.

No, smart people (investor) has accumulate in the $32++ range. Maybe a few people who try to make a profit in the $42++ range in February, but not today. The volume speaks for itself, and everyone knows that when the bull started it run, it can't be stop.

So for those who bought it cheap, then no need to rush and take profit. Just stay cool and wait for more FOMO to come in and push the price to $5k or even higher and be sustainable.

And it looks like we don't need to wait further and get stressed out. Because the market is looking very sharp and this could be the eventual start of a bull run that we all have been waiting for.

See, everyone should have patience in this market because we all know that we can recover after a long year bearish trend.

And I'm sure that everyone is very happy to see that finally, an increased that only can be seen in a bull run has happened today. Volumes are up, price is picking up. And so all that stressed is finally relieved.

I don't think that is the main reason why they put the campaign temporarily. If you look at the statistics in their website, they are making money and the payout for that referral winner contest is just peanuts for them.

All I can say is that it's purely business decisions on their part.

Lol, you trolling yourself?  . Or this is still part of the prank this April Fools?

You exactly get your negative feedback from farming and abusing bounties. 

I'm sure that you learn your lessons very well. The merit system really did what it's supposed to do, get rid of shitposters around and even catching merit farming and some of them have been tagged as usual.

Of course, we have weathered storm in the past, the last bearish trend so this is not a surprised. Although we have been picking up in the last couple of days and the price seems to recover and heading to another barrier point, $4200, we can't really say for certain that we are heading out of the bearish cycle.

Last Feb, we have reached $4200, but then again, it was just short live as the price goes down below. So let's not jump into conclusion that we are out, just wait and see if the price is sustainable in the next couple of days.

This is an unending debate. At the end, if still base on the project itself. They can do whatever they want, if they chooses to go full KYC/AML then so be it.

As bounty hunters, if you don't like submitting your details then do not submit, simply as that. They have their own opinion, we have our mind and there will be no compromise in the middle. It's either we give in to their demands and move on our separate ways.

Don't get me wrong, I myself is a bounty hunter but when they started enforcing KYC I move to bitcoin paying signature campaigns. Or perhaps in the future bounty that don't ask for our personal data.

So it looks like they are really trying their best, working from behind to really get the BAKKT offering underway in the next couple of months perhaps.

But still, the final decision should come from Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) themselves, so it's beyond their control. Just look at the recent Bitcoin ETF proposal, it was pushed again by SEC (Bitwise with NYSE Arca and the other filed by VanEck/CBOE).

They worked their ass off and fully comply, putting their best effort, but still it was denied. I'm not saying that CFTC will deny the BAKKT proposal, but I wouldn't be surprised if they will deny it.

Solid list, I must say, it's a combination of good and steady and long term coins and probably just a couple of pump-and-dumps coins. but it's all good.

As far as overtaking ETH though, there are lots of competition but I don't see them taking the lead. It will still be ETH in my opinion and then competitions below.

And yes, good time to accumulate at majority of them is still at the <80%-90% of their ATH so everyone should take the opportunity to invest. Of course there is a risk involved, but it doesn't mean you just gonna throw $100k in some shitcoins. The OP's list is a good example and others can replicate it, if they want and with a small capital.

There could be forces from behind who wanted to spread fear amongst investors so that they can take advantage and fatten their wallets again.

It's good that Coinbene has released a official statements to qualm the crowd that there's nothing to worry about, although I'm sure that everyone has heard about another crypto exchange hacked (Bithumb).

Again, another incident that proves that we don't need to put huge amount of funds in an exchange, just saying.

Makes me wonder though, what if one of these April Fools prank turns out to be true in the future? 

But knowing, Warren B., nah, I doubt that he will just invest on bitcoin because he will be trolled continuously and joked around by his fellow billionaires. 

Nice try though OP, but we know what you did here.

You mean digital gold?

Of course, adoption is really going. Everyone wanted to get a hold of this so-called digital gold. And just like any assets, it has problems and LN is the much anticipated solution to it.

We are still the bearish trend, sad to day and it will take months to be able to recovery. It might be that LN could be considered by others as catalyst, but it needs more growth, more adoption in order to help the price to reach $6k. But I guess, if there is growth around the corner, there could be other factors as well that can contribute, not just LN.

Very interesting to see Floyd going on vacation? Seriously in the Philippines just to take a vacation or are they cooking up something? Hmmm. Let us see what will be the outcome of this so called Floyd visiting the Manny on his own turf.

I'm sure they will meet here and Manny being the 'tourist guide' and show how beautiful the Philippine is. And then after that, probably have close door serious discussions about the fight and they must be drolling on how much money both of them can make if they face each other again.

I never seen the video, but I'm amused by how many are really bullish about bitcoin and seeing it in the range of $5k-$6k in the next couple of months.

I think it's doable. I mean we have seen a lot of so called experts, perma-bulls who really predicts exorbitant prices like in the 5 digits. But we all know that the process will take that long. It was not like the price will spike overnight. Realistic predictions like $5k-$6k can really be achieved, might be slow but possible.

I agree. We sounded like broken records here, keep reminding everyone not to put all their funds in a exchange and get a hardware wallet to secure your coins. And then one day, when we see exchanges being hacked, we will hear members here (usually newbies) bitching around saying that they have lost X amount of coins or funds.

Anyways, inside job or not, Bithumb has a lot of explaining to do again.

Exactly, it's going to be a slow grind, as other have said. Not a bull run, but yes a good indication that recovery is underway, it might takes months of a slow but ascending pattern, so we can take that.


You mean, pump-and-dump, what do you expect from a altcoin? Remain stable, most of them have no actual use case, so yes, they will be used by speculators for their short day trading by hyping it and then the massive sell offs.

Exactly, he keeps on mentioning 'blockchain', but when questioned he can't answer some basics on how it will help his business. Did he just just the waves of this technology to sound that they or the company are more advance than their competition?

Good market ploy, but sorry, no one here is biting. We have nothing against you having your on-line business, but please don't involved 'blockchain' if you really don't have any idea about how it works or how it will improve and stream-line your business.

Partly blame media for it. First they portray bitcoin in a bad way, when people didn't listen to them, they depict in as something like a magic. "If you put money in it, you investment will grow overnight".

People get's excited, throw their money in the market without doing their research, and yes as some point their money grow in 2017, but after that, then went bust in short amount of time and then blame bitcoin. And when you go around the forum, there are still a lot of noobs, asking for financial advises.

I totally forgot to include this one, self confessed victim of the exit scam, Software Engineer loses life savings in Quadriga imbroglio.
