There are a lot of cryptocurrency exchanges already, not saying you are wasting your time but you will need a really really good UI/UX to make a difference with others. Because the main thing is what are you able to bring different than others don't have or how you can do it better.
And I think there is a lot to do to reach this point.

Personally, I prefer fiat to crypto and crypto to crypto as well together.
I believe that if you plan to deal with allowing members to add fiats to buy cryptos you will have soon or later no choice to request a verification ID from them, especially when dealing with banks.

Good luck anyway

When you do this with large volume and a lot of trades (too much for them) Banks consider that you are misusing your bank account (I referer to a personal bank account). The banks consider that your account is showing an activity behaving like a business does and suspect you to use your personal account to do business activities which are not allowed in almost every bank worldwide. Each bank has their own criteria but will never tell you wich. Add to this those who don't want to operate with any activity related to cryptocurrency and you' are done.

I thought Fidor is a bank faster than the traditional ones. Try to take a look at Mistertango

Simply forget about your coins. Stop to read any news related and stop to check the price daily or 2-3 times a day. You will have less stress and so less fear of your coins. Do it at least 1 month and you will see. 1 month is nothing in a life. After a month just do your usual stuff once a week, check the rate, read some news, ect, close everything and keep rolling the life.

I had this problem with Coinbase several times before. I have never understood the reason but I can tell you that the problem is from their side and not your. When it first happened I thought it was me but then when a friend had the same problem multiple times too I knew it is because of Coinbase and not people.

Try to copy paste the address into notepad and then copy from notepad to Coinbase.

You can do anything with API but I think you still need a verification email when you add a Bitcoin (and other altcoins) address for a transfer outside your account.
I don"t understand well if the hacker has access to your email or not but you should contact Kraken as soon as you can for trying to get help from them.

Exactly. And you can add that we saw the same scenario some months back for the previous fork. I am not afraid anymore to the Bitcoin's value losing $1000 in a day or two. I know it will back to what it was very soon
As usual, there are those who started to panic and are selling their bitcoins

No.
Everyone know what is gold and nobody is googling what is gold. People using "gold" as a keyword in a search engine are people looking to check the price or a new. Also investing in gold is much different compared to Bitcoin. People investing in gold are people looking to secure their funds for 10 years at least. While people investing in Bitcoin are people looking to make a profit quite quickly.

You are also wrong when you sa "Unlike golds that maintains its value as time passes by and sometimes depreciate."

Because Bitcoin is not enough used for the daily needs. You can't go to the supermarket and to pay with Bitcoin for example. You can't say to the cashier "Wait I am waiting for 6 confirmations"  

But let's imagine Bitcoin is accepted everywhere to pay everything as we can do with fiat, the thing is different.
People can save money with the operating costs (banks fees, etc) and the merchants too can save money on the sales. Money saved that could lead to decrease the prices.
Or another advantage can be that Bitcoin doesn't have a limit for spending like we have with a Visa/Mastercard with their weekly/monthly limits.

It's the reason that we need to see Bitcoin adopted massively to get the most of it. The price can be $100k if no one uses it and it can't be traded then it's useless

For sure the recent increase in the price is because of the fork. There is a large number of people who excepted to get free coins and so buying as much as they could, there are others reasons too. I am reading to see a correction until the end of this month but if nothing happens I won't complain. Everything can happen with Bitcoin. If I was in your shoes I would wait some days to see what it will result.


The things are different when you are on a forum and the laws that need to be followed here on bitcointalk are the USA laws. And if for example, you give advice to not invest in X or Y nobody will punish you for telling don't advise to invest Ni X or Y.

I was using Bittrex and Cryptopia since several months. But since Bittrex is forcing me for a verification which I don't want, I simply leaved the site because there is no way that I give them some personal information.
Not a big deal, Cryptopia is a good alternative for me so I just use it more since. I am happy with their service and support which is all what I am looking for.

The price was extremely volatile since the announcement for the segwit 2x cancelation. Yesterday the price could be 7500$ and 15 minutes later failed to $7000$ and then 15 minutes later back to $7500. After some hours the price seems to stabilize about $7200.
Buying after the announcement was a very hight risk, I would prefer to wait some days at least to see how the market behave.

It is something you need to be used to see. It happens when there are too many users trying to use the site at the same time. Their site is not able to handle too much people. You will notice that each time the Bitcoin price is increasing or decreasing a lot you can be sure the site is going to be offline. No idea why they can't or don't want to find a solution to something they know will happen.

Yes because when you're buying from Localbitcoin you're buying from people looking to make a profit. When you're buying from a website and using your card the merchant has to pay fees for using visa/mastercard network (like any merchant online and offline as well) so the website forwards the fees on the buyer.

It's from the central bank not the president of the nation. Bitcoin started to be used more in their country when Paypal banned Turkey (or Turkey banned Paypal, I don't remember) Bitcoin has been coming as the most convenient alternative (at the time when the fees transactions were less at least). There are a lot of people making money online (freelancers, etc.) who started to use Bitcoin as it was the best solution for them.

Honestly, there is nothing to be excited about. It is just about creating a group of people to make research. Unofficially, they already did it long ago or started long ago for sure.

I am so tired of Kraken Cloudfare page and getting errors messages. I thought they fixed this long time ago. But NO, each time there is something happening with Bitcoin It becomes like impossible to do something. It's like 1 hour I am trying to do simple things that normally take 5 seconds. API method is not for me. They were supposed to update their site or something like that, humm when it was? August? We're in November

All the drama for nothing!
So what is the next step for Bitcoin now and what can we expect from this.
(without the "going to the moon" posts type)
The price went from $7200 to $7700 in 15 minutes and then 15 minutes later back to $7100, what's going on?

It's not relevant because he/she asked people who are not aware of Bitcoin. You can ask for anyone what he prefers between 1 dollar or XYZ, as he/she doesn't know XYZ he/she will choose a dollar, naturally...
If you tell to people what is Bitcoin and its value, nobody will prefer $1 instead of $7000.

A lot of ICO projects are just crappy. I don't understand why people are wasting time and money in believing in projects that have nothing good to bring to the market. There are surely some good ICO but I try to stay away from it. There are enough altcoins projects to be interested in.

Bitcoin isn't the first crypto currency. There were 2 or 3 before that maybe 15-20 years back.
I don't remember their name but you can find it on the search engines. Also, Bitcoin uses some features (mainly from the cryptography side) from one of this old crypto currency.
Ethereum is also covered on a lot of media, yes surely less than Bitcoin but it has a good presence and a lot of people hearing about Bitcoin do it with Ethereum too.
