As this point, there's no really need to panic sell. I mean we have bottom already around $3.2 and it seems that there would be no more sell-off. Although the price is like trading sideways again, a indication that people are not yet entering and just continue to have their wait-and-see attitude.

It's good though, at least investors are getting smarter and no more FOMO. I'm sure everyone is familiar with what happened in 2017, a lot doesn't want to miss the boat, join at it's peaked and then burned in 2018. So for newbie investors, I do hope that you learn your lessons not to panic and just stay calm as we will get over this bump this year. Other's doesn't like HODLing though, but at this market conditions, it's the best strategy as far as I know.

I'm speculating that the price would be the same, as what one thread says, it looks like that $3K-$4K levels is the new $6K-$6.5K. We have seen the price goes on sideways for four months and because of the BCH drama the price goes down to the levels we're currently in.

So I'm not expecting another mad rush to $4K this week, for me it will trade on sideways and there will no clear trend. Not unless there is a positive news that will push the price to go upward or another FUD to pull it downward. And remember that the bears is still in control and can pull surprises any time, I initially though that they are exhausted, but they prove me wrong. Worst case scenario is the price going to touch all-time-lows so just be prepared.

I'm been following this thread but it looks like its not a problem of Ledger Nano S but the OP has been scammed:


His been a victim and I'm sure lots of users as well, so just beware of this stupid hard fork or something. Reminds me of what had happened during the bitcoin fork as well, a lot of videos and help going around, even someone development this so called wallet to claim your free bitcoin cash but it turns out to be scam as well.

Yeah, when reality sets in, most of the time it's really hard to swallow it and find the logical solution to it. As for people dependent of it, we can't blame them, 2017 has open the doors for a lot of noobs investors to try their luck on this market because that time it's very lucrative. Just imagine that year alone, a tremendous leap ~$7xx in the beginning and ended up almost $20K at the end of 2017.

But when the bubble was burst, man it's really frustrating to see the price going on a downward spiral and more people got burned easily. But I always say to myself that once we hit the bottom, the only thing it can do after that is to really go up again and bounce back. Bitcoin is very resilient so I won't be surprised that after this bear market, the price will slowly recover and there will be renewed interest and sentiments will eventually change as the new cycle begins.

Hi, I'm not well versed in mining pool but I would advise you to move or create a thread in this board,

[1] Mining which is the main board or:

[2] Mining software

Best of luck!!!

I don't think that casino's would go to that detail though, why would they need to ask where the source of money came from? If they are within the age wherein they can enter a casino then they are mature enough to know the risk involved, just saying.

What the guards usually do, if they have doubts is to ask for ID to verify their age and that's it. If they show ID saying that they are 18 and above then they can play as long as they money in their pocket.

Also government doesn't allow casino's to be operated near schools or universities, so if student wanted to play then its their choice, imho.

I think that's part and parcel of being our own bank. It's better to get a full functioning trusted hardware for a better price so that you know your investments are safe from any attacks. If you invested $100K in crypto, $100 dollar of hardware wallet is nothing, I guess.


Older model? Probably, but it's need to be original and not refurbished or something.


I guess manufacturers are charging expensive because it took them time and money as well to developed their model to be secure and trusted.


I'm not saying I'm well-off or something, I always value security so it's a easy decision to me to invest into a hardware wallet as well.

Ok, at least we heard that he is cliean, but I'm sure that there are still a lot of doubters out there.

Regarding his next opponent though, no disrespect, but I don't see him dethroning Jones here. Yes he is on a 3 fight winner streak, but two of those wins are against wash up fighters (Rashad and Rua).

For those who are interested to bet, Jones open up as a 13-1 favorite. Lol.

Speaking of Hal, months ago I requested that his Bitcoin and me (Hal Finney) - thread be lock or at least stickied.

The man is truly a legend and one the biggest contributor/collobarator in cryptocurrency.

As much as we wanted to do that and follow your advise and kick some bear, it's not simple as it sounds. This is a free market so I doubt that anyone will follow your advise though. Yes it's frustrating to see the market conditions right now, but we can't do anything like forcing or telling someone to have a a schedule buy-in.

Chances are people might sell on the 30th for all we know. I can also advise if someone is not really comfortable wit the market to really stay out and wait till everything settles down.

And even if your proposition might happen, we can't discount the fact the speculators or bots will take advantage of the situation to push the sell button and book their profits upon seeing a spike in the price.

Just like I said in my previous, even though that Lakers is performing very well at times without Lebron, the team really needs his leadership on the court. They needed his basket IQ and basketball minds to create a lot of offensive chances which they obviously lack today. This is uncharted territories for the young team right now so it's a big challenge for them. So far they have been inconsistent though.


For a Laker fans, yes it's frustrating to see them tank for years now. There's a lot of hype around Lonzo when he enter, but so far  we haven't seen any significant changes. I'm sure they are not panicking, but I guess we really need some time to see them back in the groove and wait till Lebron is back. They are still holding the 8th spot (23-20).

It would be a perfect cinderella finish for Andy Murray if that happen but I don't see it in reality though. I think his done and just wanted to have some fun in Australian Open and that's it.

I'm sure he will be the crowd favorite as well, tennis fans are very sentimental so I wouldn't be surprise the outpouring of messages or the standing ovations he will got, once he is the court.

If Bakkt goes live this month, then I'm sure that the market will start our slow recovery process. It's possible that the price could hit the $6K barrier once again. And we could very well ended up the year in the five digits.

However, it is postpone for another month or two, it's possible that we can see another bottom or close to the last bottom we have seen ($3.2K). And then we trade sideways so it's going to painful and boring at the start of the year.

This is just my honest opinion though, and I may be wrong here.

At least the government of Thailand see's the potential of getting huge taxes out of crypto and who knows, the kingdom will develop as another crypto hub in Asia. It's a democratic country so it's easy from the outside to see them really friendly to their population.


And that tool would be crypto, as it gave freedom to even a ordinary citizens like the majority of us. Just imagine what mass adoption would be in the future though, exciting times ahead for all of us in the next 10 years.

Profitable if they really well adept on how the price moved or well verse in reading graphs or have some sort of experience of Technical Analysis.

I also speculate that speculators has also evolved shorting not just bitcoin but the rest of the coins in this bearish market. Just imagine buying when the price is $3200 and selling it at $4200 last December makes sense.

But we also have to take into account the risk involved. If you have a faint of heart then shorting might not be the one for you though. Also the greed factor must be controlled as well.

Everyone is really waiting for that next activity. But it's what more than a year from now and there's a lot of factors that might start a recovery. But the last halving though took as months to see the price going upward, so don't expect something big to happen right after the halving.


I'm also speculating that the might see a long and boring year in 2019. Sideways pattern will be the norm and I'm sure that investors and speculators will continue to short Bitcoin more.

To the OP, are you saying that you're going out of the market this 2019?

You guys noticed that Kuzma is already in the top 10 in the All Star voting?

I guess the NBA and the fans are noticing that this kid is something special and he has a lot of leg room to improved and could be the potential Lakers franchise players.

Of course they are better if Lebron is on the court, but I don't see any differences whether he is playing on the court or not. Just fun to see Lakers and the chemistry they build specially with this kids.

But they still need to do some promotional in order to sell tickets. They need to create their own storyboard, yes could be revenge for Manny but for me it's flat hype.

Wanted them to see thrash talk prior to the fight, they can even fire some tweet's like what Manny did after Floyd's win against Tenshin. Or both of them going on the media circle's having interviews and start a beef or something.

There's no such thing as strategies, if you see someone using this sort of strategy or something, at the end it will caught up with him/her resulting in a loss. Some of the gamblers are weird though, they belief in superstitions but I don't believed them. It's just coincidence or pure luck.


What if on the fourth bet you lose? And then you big bet thinking that you're lucky?
