Don't be surprised if you see a correction this week, it was to be excepted. There is nothing to be surprised about. But even if the price decrease to $6500 I am still happy. With Bitcoin you never know what can happen


When the price was $1000 people were saying it's too high when it was $2000 they were saying it's not sustainable when it was $3000 they started to buy bitcoins.
If the demands increase, the value increases with.

Kraken works for Canadian citizens. You can make a deposit via wire transfer. But you will need to be verified Tier 2 (just giving your name, last name, DOB, phone number, no need to give Id card or other)
Once verified Tier 2 you will have a limit of $2000 daily/$10k monthly for your deposits

When you log in you need a code and so you receive an email with a unique code in it and need to use. Do you receive this code? It has been added some weeks back. You may ask them here as they have a topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1669443.0
You may get a faster reply otherwise you can use Twitter to talk with them, I did it once and got a fast reply.

If using Kraken is too much difficult for you to use then it may be better for you to not use anything at all. Can't make it easier and everything is clear and there is no way to make confusion. A 12 years old kid can use Kraken without any help and place orders even with the advanced options.

It's not going to happen dude. It's over 50% of the Bitcoin's value. The only way to see Bitcoin back to $3000 is while you're dreaming.
Up to 30% it is, of course, possible but over half the value there is no way. You are asking too much.

It happens usually when their site is overloaded. Too much people using the website at the same time and they can't handle all the traffic. Sometimes you can notice the site goes offline when it's too much for their servers. You will notice this each time when the Bitcoin's value is getting a spike. The only thing to do is waiting.

Blockchain.info wallet is following the same path. They got a little less than 1 million wallets created within 1 month, with over 18 million wallets now. I think Bitcoin is getting massively adopted and used which can also explain the Bitcoin's value increasing at a high speed. It could be interesting to see some others wallet providers giving some data about this trend just to give a better idea.

It's wrong, there is a tax on bitcoin. It's not because the average Joe is cheating that everyone is supposed to do it. Do you think that the online or offline shops accepting Bitcoin don't pay taxes on their sales? Then you're wrong. And in case you're not a business but just an average user you need to pay taxes also. It's based on the profits you make from buying and selling or mining it as well.

Paypal and Ebay are two separate companies for a long time now. Amazon has never included Paypal because Amazon considers Paypal as a competitor directly and not directly. If you use Amazon you have noticed this company is not accepting any payment processor. They accept only Visa/Mastercard, gift cards, etc.
They have already Amazon Payment that they struggle to be adopted so I don't think they are ready to create their coin anytime soon.

There is a huge increase in people starting to use Bitcoin recently and more than what we are used to see. Bitcoin is starting to be mass adopted (thanks to the media talking about Bitcoin as an investment). Another reason is people buying as more bitcoins as they can with the hope to get free coins from the forks. The rush will calm down soon after this.

@rapidleech What happens when you try to log in Bittrex? Because When I log in my account I am automatically redirected to the verification page but I read a long time ago that accounts created before a date don't need to be verified to be able to use it normally, and it's my case. So I have no idea if my account is in good shape or not.

People mentioned Blockchain.info but it's not the only web-based wallet that let you choose the fees you want to set. Bitwala is another one to mention as you can choose your own fees when you want to make a transaction. Cryptopay has a minimum of 0.0005BTC if you consider this as cheap.

I wouldn't be so optimist if I were you. In my opinion, we can expect a huge decrease in the Bitcoin price the next following week/days when the fork will be out. It will be a good correction and I won't be surprised if the price decrease by $500 $800.
But if you are right, I will be happy to see Bitcoin reach $8000-$10,000

LOL it doesn't make sense. You can't rank a (crypto) currency based on the value. You can rank it based on the adoption or something else but not based on the price... And as for the legal side of Bitcoin, so far I don't think it is allowed in the whole world as you say and so it doesn't give a point to your argument

It doesn't work like this. The budget of a country is not based on the reserve owned, otherwise, most countries would have a very low budget.
The budget is determined by the loans countries to get and the capacity of the country to return back the money to the banks. Each country makes a loan request on a daily basis.
Most countries don't have a good management by the way, no matter what they do. That's the reason most of the countries are in negative

The market won't crash so easily. In the second part of this month, we will surely see a huge correction in the Bitcoin's value, but the market will stay the same. Nothing to be worried about. People need to be used to this and stop to be worried.
Keep to be happy with the market and enjoy.

It has nothing to do with regulation or gov. in anyway. The fees have always been the same for Bittrex or at least 1 year. You should be aware of this and check it before using it.
They don't set up the fees depending on the taxes they have to pay but depending on the network activity. If it's too much for you then don't make a low transfer, simple as that.

Dude, don't advice to people to use Arch Linux while they are not used to use GNU/Linux. I am sure he couldn't just install it. For someone who is quite new to Linux, I would never advise using Arch.
As for the OP, the controversy about Ubuntu is just that Linux users like to fight distro A VS distro B. It has been like this for years.
Linux Mint is considered as a good alternative to Ubuntu but it's just a matter of what OS type you like. There are some good OS but ugly, like there are bad Os but with a nice interface.
I advise you to visit youtube as you can find lot of videos demo on any Linux OS, so you can get an idea of what you would like (or not)
And distrowatch if you are looking for names

You can't expect to see altcoins to have the same performance that Bitcoin gets. So I agree with other posters Altcoins are not going nowhere.
While it's true a lot of them are in red when you check coinmarketcap there are still some doing good. And in the crypto world, everything can change in some hours. Don't make assumptions about altcoins based on bitcoin because it is not relevant.

Bitcoin has not been created to make you or anyone millionaire. Satoshi didn't create it to allow people to make a huge amount of profit. Bitcoin is not an investment, it's a currency and people should stop to talk about Bitcoin as an investment. Because people jumping on bitcoin see it wrongly as an investment while it's not.
If Bitcoin was created to make people millionaire then everyone would have bought some bitcoins already.
