The duration of a trade will always depend on the temperament and emotional management of the trader. A trader's apathy towards a trade, whether a scalper, a day trader or weekly trader. Sometimes, even planned day trade takes a few minutes to fill up and profits made depending on the fluctuations in the market at that time. I like longer time frames like the 4hrs and daily frames because they give one a clearer picture of the market. But that doesn't mean scalping aren't good or profitable.

OP, your thread topic is totally different from the question you ask in your comment as quoted here. Banning isn't the same thing as Regulating. Both mean different things. You may want to consult a dictionary for that.

On regulation: Yes, the government of a country can regulate the use of Bitcoin if it were to be adopted into that country's financial system. The government can earn taxes from it just the same way Miners' fees are paid before transactions are processed.

How people easily trust a Newbie account amuses me. And to even think that the Newbie floats a signature campaign with such a high pay without an escrow and people fell for it is even worse amusing. He advertises an exchange and you guys sent your coins to him? How simple to fall prey! Now, you all should stop complaining and whining. Go and lick your wounds. You have been easily scammed!

You actually took the words out of my mouth. I really don't know why anybody would want to invest all they have into a single investment no matter how lucrative it seems. Thumbs up for this advice!

I don't believe millionaires are still being made. Those who are millionaires from Bitcoin were the early risers who believed and sticked to the Bitcoin dream from the beginning. The rest of us are just getting by here with money just enough to take care of our basic needs, not to make millions. That chance may have been lost with Bitcoin but we can still find a way with the altcoins. Early risers are always beneficiaries.

I really do not think the price matters to traders. Whether up or down the traders will still trade and make profit. What matters to the traders is the fluidity and liquidity that Bitcoin commands because it aids in the movement (trend) of the coins.

However, the price of Bitcoin will be of a major concern to those who hoard it in anticipation for a future price increase so they can upload to the market for profit or in exchange for goods and services. This set of people will always wish the trend continues on the upward.

Answering this question in bold prints and getting the answer right will mean someone will have the ability to tell the future. Sadly. That ability is only found with immortal beings, not man. And that ability is Clairvoyance. Quite all right, business and investment rely more on Speculation. We can only take a guess doing business. So, no one knows for such what happens with Bitcoin in days to come. OP, just follow your heart on the question you asked.

The chances that cryptocurrency will rule the world without fiat is slimmer that a mosquito. This isn't going to happen. There's no way cryptos will replace tangible money completely. For me, cryptos are actually not fiat. They're just a store of value like every other assets and that's why they either rise or fall in value.

It had never worth up to $0.01. The price has refused to cross the $0.002-3 threshold. Now it's around number 20 on the list.

Anyway, I chose to invest in the Doges because it is structured along side the litecoin technology eventhough with a meme. Also, I like its cheap price and I am hopeful the price will push up after a while. I hold a considerable number unlike with other altcoins. Now, I wait in line for its surge so I can claim some millions in $$$.

 Don't think businesses in Japan accepting Bitcoin should come as a surprise to anyone knowing the perceived origin of this coin. In fact, it's belated. More businesses should quickly show their level of acceptance for the coin to advance it. Truly, it should be Japan's national currency.

The way this is going, it's already putting a stain on the image of Onegram as an Islamic coin whether the fault is from Jamal or from the company. Whichever way, I guess that caveat on the first page of the Onegram campaign of not using an escrow is a pointer to what is happening now. None of them from that company wanted to take responsibility from the beginning if things went wrong as it is now. Jamal should have had the funds escrowed or held them himself just the way Yahoo does. So, Jamal should share in the blame. It's partly his fault.

Is Pekelangito the same person as TrissMerigold. Just asking because I noticed the above

At $2800 per Bitcoin, having 10btc translates to $28,000. In my country that runs into millions of hard currency. If I have 10btc and I have a day job to cater to my daily needs, I will keep my Bitcoin. But if I don't have any means to sustain my daily need, I will sell off like 4btc while keeping the rest for future price increase.

OP's declarative position (since it wasn't a question asked) will be a bit difficult to sustain. How does one prove that Bitcoin reduces unemployment. How? One would ask. If Bitcoin is regarded as a virtual currency or the new fiat, then how does that hold? Can we say fiat/money reduces unemployment? Or that cowries reduces unemployment? No! We can only argue on the strength of investments that can be set up with the possession of these store of value (cowries, fiat, Bitcoin) at any given time.

We can only stop panicking or worrying if we know what the future holds. Since we don't know, we will always panic. Of course Bitcoin seeing a dip to $500 will mean its end. It's not going to worth anything at that price anymore and its fluidity and price fluctuation will all be gone. So, it won't mean anything hoarding it. It will become a shitty coin then. Though I know OP merely joked about that. And at $100,000? Nah! I don't see Bitcoin ever getting to that price.

Does anyone know anything about this site: https://coindouble.net. Is it legit or a scam hole?

People get to love or hate certain things at a certain period in their lives. That's human nature. Sometimes this hatred could be with a reason. Other times it could be as a result of prejudice. If someone around me doesn't like Bitcoin, I will like to find out why. If however the hatred is occasioned by ignorance then I will offer tutorials on what Bitcoin is to the person. But if the hatred is based on prejudice, then I don't have a part to play than to leave the fellow alone. You don't force people into something.

It's the same way some people will hate Forex Trading or Binary Options...Even when they know next to nothing about it!

Please, can you help me out on this stuck transaction. Here's the tx: 4eef30d54fc636b935c322af9314606277384055d764356bf765c6179c5971e8

Thanks in advance.

Edited: I don't know if it's a coincidence or what. The transaction has now been confirmed after I put it up here. Thanks if anyone tried to help.

Ok, I did as you directed me to with the viabtc guys sine yesterday. But the transaction is still not confirmed. Does that mean my coins are stuck now forever? Will I not be able to retrieve my Bitcoin from this failed transaction or what?

It really won't be a good thing for banks to start accepting Bitcoin because that would defeat the same essence of it been an anonymous coin. There's no banking activity that goes without proper documentation. And if Bitcoin were to be involved, it then means that holders of the coins will be known through documentation. However, I am yet to see any bank that's accepting Bitcoin in this part of Africa that I am.
