There are plenty of altcoins and massive amount of shitcoins, they are the ones responsible for pumps and dumps those shitcoins that benefit a few especially themselves but many people in the telegram dumps incur losses because they have bought some coins and then telling the group to pump it, when the price spike up, they will sell first.

Coinranker seems better than coinmarketcap, the most important thing is the price constantly refreshed automatically according to the market.
I was quite fed up with coinmarketcap, just occasionally visit it I want to check certain coins history.
However, to check bitcoin price better to check on some exchangers rate such as https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/

or take a look at https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/

$7,800 still a good entry point for now.

for another case, the best average price should be $1M for BTC1 in 10 years later.

I'm heavily eyeing up the low $7,000's and have bids placed in the vicinity of $7,050-$7,350 which I'm expecting to be filled in the next 48 hours or so.

I don't think it will happen in 48 hours, bitcoin will tank above $7,700 and $8,000 still the resistance point. Bitcoin may reach over $8500 in a couple of days.
Especially with the hype of ETF approval by SEC, or probably not. You may want to consider this into your prediction.

It's actually 6%, they get a 3% discount and 3% rebate in bitcoin sent to their Coincheck wallets, that's a big temptation which difficult to resist, the more bill is paid, the more bitcoin they get. a great strategy that targets customers to encourage bitcoin adoption and used for retail shopping which in time will spread among merchants and retail owners.

Let's be fair, we don't wants to encourage spammers, everyone who wears a signature has the same thought to earn some.
Although there are fewer restrictions and requirements to join this campaign, I joined this sig because the manager is a trusted person here.
Do you believe yahoo encouraging spammers? Of course not, therefore why this thread exists, hence your words against yourself.

Indeed, just holding while watching bitcoin price spike but then plummet is pretty poor strategies that really push my patience without getting a piece of cake in the event.
Most people aren't good traders to navigate in this volatile cryptocurrency market, so smart holding compliments between just holding and active trading to increase my bitcoin holdings and prevent panic selling in bear market. Recently, sold at $8,400 and buyback at $7,800 makes me feel good.

It's not just about psychology but how to have a comprehensive understanding from the beginning and make good planning, stick to it and do not act recklessly.


Why doing the opposite? When the price drop, people will buy the dip, if you do the opposite, then it's sold at the dip?
If the price rises up, the mass will sell at the peak, but you buy at the peak? You will have the greatest loss all the time.

We have been here several times but the ETF always got rejected again and again, we might see the hype in the market until on October 13th, a good thing though, especially for traders. SEC will have another argument of disagreement about why bitcoin ETF can not be accepted yet, volatility and manipulation still the best reasons for them.
However, if it really happens, better to hold btc as much as possible at this point.

For people who bought btc at the peak e.g. $20K then bitcoin tumbled to $10K, can't wait but cut loss.
Bitcoin takes a long time to recover to its ATH, and many people waiting for that to happen, they must have thought like; I did a mistake investing in bitcoin.
That's why, for people who looking for profit by investing in bitcoin but can't wait for years, it is a mistake.

But it has been used as currency for years, people buy and sell things using bitcoin as a medium of exchange, it's a daily routine here in this forum and many others out there do it. What makes bitcoin isn't so good as fiat money due to its volatility, early adopters hoarding bitcoin while the whales on the wall street manipulate the price according to their need to gain profit in this market. The limited supply of bitcoin isn't the main problem, scarcity makes bitcoin won't lose its value to zero instead keep rising.

And the price bounce back above $8200 after a bit dip to $7788, I thought the price was going to fall below $7600 but it didn't but recover instead.
But the bounce is just temporary as the last seven days the market was so bearish, it just not make sense for traders to not short an asset that looks so bearish.
Remember when the price fall to $7800 but be able to gain value to $8500 and then gradually drop to $7788, the cycle will repeated again after the price reach the peak but when it fall again, expect it to go deeper than $7700.

Not only third world poor countries, but there are also Egypt, Marocco, Bolivia, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iran, Colombia, and China.
Some of those probably not banning exchangers but at least governments not allowing banks and financial institutions to facilitate bitcoin transactions.

Obviously, another country joins the crypto-world to attract fintech and blockchain companies as "Bittrex recently announced its new trading platform, Bittrex Global, to be headquartered in Liechtenstein. Bittrex chose to establish a trading platform in Liechtenstein because of the small country's clarity in regulating digital currencies and blockchain technology.
Nevertheless, whenever crypto law and regulations emerge, there will be Taxes behind it, people must be prepared whether all the crypto transactions should be reported to the government in the future.

What's up with Gemini? It's a convenient exchanger, not a greedy machine like you claim.

Nice catch, wondering who is the owner of this account, what is the name of this account and the UID? Let us find him.
Never imagine it could be possible for 400+ posts to be paid, I thought there is a rule that state only 30 posts will be paid.
Tried to check the rules by clicking our signature but found it;
does this mean there are no limits for the paid posts?

With only 1 administrator and 2 moderators, it seems impossible to stop the spam posters.

With 1 btc at stake, spam posters are inevitable. Originally, the big prizes to encourage members to contribute to advancing the forum, but the spam posters and non-constructive posts should not be calculated which is a huge task for moderators. Even we can easily spot some members post in 2-5 minutes without no clue regarding the object they are talking about.

Another shady game site has to be closed the service for a while until all the issues resolved and everyone gets what they deserve for waiting over a week.

Many governments have done it, for the countries which prohibited cryptocurrency, at least they could pass a law to prevent citizens convert bitcoin into cash through a big exchanger, but they can't prevent someone to do over the counter transaction, just like any other prohibited things. Moreover, exchanging bitcoin into cash and vice versa is not a crime such as trading narcotics which must be banned. People will always do it when there is an opportunity to, as long as there is no evidence to stop them.

Everyone who has bitcoin has the same right to use it in any way they want. Spend it right now or trading bitcoin is fine because that's the way to spread bitcoin across the world. yes, bitcoin price will rise over time in a lengthy process and people who spend their bitcoin will lose massive value throughout the years, but what has passed, let it pass. Bitcoin meant to be a means of payment, a medium of exchange, store of value, an asset, but we have to buy and sell bitcoin for massive adoption to happens, others will never get bitcoin if no one spend it.
