OkCoin and Huobi said in statements published on their websites late on Thursday that they would halt withdrawals of bitcoins completely, while the other big exchange BTCC said it would subject withdrawals to a 72-hour review.

These measures come after China’s central bank said it called nine of the country’s smaller bitcoin exchanges in to a Wednesday meeting to discuss risks in the bitcoin market, and warned them they risked closure if they seriously violated regulations or took part in activities such as margin lending.

In their Thursday statements, they also said they may freeze assets or limit trading by users who were found to flout rules.

Mohamed El-Erian the Ex ceo at pimco and the current chief economic adviser at Allianz in a discussion with CNBC , stated that..

"BITCOIN IS A DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY BUT WILL NOT SEE WIDESPREAD USE."

Mohamed said that he thinks that the price is going to blow up because it cant be adopted at the current price it is at ,but can be used as a peer to peer currency since there are many more peer to peer currencies.

More and more and more actors from the NYC agreement are dropping like flies. Now we have BTCC out of the agreement. Along with f2pool, this is a big chunk of hashrate that segwit2x lost. Bitfury will also potentially not be mining segwit2x. This would be the nail in the coffin, not even considering Bitcoin Core 0.15 is comming out soon which everyone will upgrade to.

With segwit2x out of the picture, we can hit $10,000 easily during 2018, so hold on to your coins and stop falling for the government ban nonsense.

Widely followed strategist Tom Lee said in a report that his
model shows bitcoin could rise to a range of $20,000 to
$55,000 in the next five years.

The report is a first from a major Wall Street strategist on
the digital currency.

Just announced a few hours ago.  Despite the current down turn this surely has to lead to some substantially bullish momentum.

Do the experts in the World Economic Forum understand what blockchains really are? Maybe if they really did then they wont arrive with those figures. Blockchains are among the most inefficient ways to store information. Im very sure by 2027 someone has invented a better append only form of ledger.

Current crypto marketcap is only around 140 billion $ which is nothing compared to total financial transactions executed everyday via online payment gateways. Paypal have marketcap of around 72 billion $ and bitcoin is far better than paypal shit, so even bitcoin can have more than current $140 billion marketcap in near future so a big NO, marketcap for crypto is still very low and there is high chance of it to grow exponentially.

It should be very simple to sell online and make your store. I will use Artificial Intelligence ChatBot interface. It will ask for your store namw, payment methods and then you add product on a very simple interface. You'll also get a minimal dashboard. Your storefront will have a unique url (domain.com/JohnTech). You just need to enter your btc addresses to receive Bitcoin to you when you get an order.

I know their is shopify and Woocommerce, but they need time to understand. I will guarantee you will open your store within 2mins. What do you think?

i am back again with another buy the dip
this time i am a little late myself.

as the news about China heats up the panic of the weak hands is also heating up. if we see another news from China and another dip it would be a great chance ot start buying some coins in case you msised out or in case you want a bigger profit from these weak hands.

in any case brace yourself and get the cash ready to buy at the bottoms of the dips. and enjoy 

translation:

once again another vague news about China came out and the English news sites started exaggerating the reality after they used google translate to translate the real news. it finally turned into FUD and caused a 8% drop. now everyone thinks the world has ended because of 8% drop

I think in some US states, if a person earns less than $600 a year, they aren't required to pay income taxes. This could be an extension of that where low sums of bitcoin exchanged for fiat would not be subject to taxation.

The bill being introduced by senators from arizona and colarado could imply arizonans could have a use for this which might correlate with arizona being a state ranked with a low average cost of living within the USA. Colorado having legalized marijuana could be a motive for this push as well with their end goal possibly being weed purchasable via bitcoin/crypto. The cannabis industry is becoming a big tax revenue earner for states which makes sense for them to expand options enabling purchase of it.

Still waiting for an update on senate bill 1241 which will have an effect on bitcoin & crypto if it is passed.

Hi, just wondering what you guys think the november split will do to the price of BTC Core? If it's going to rise I'm going to buy in again (already own 0.933 BTC) and if not then I'll sell before long once I'm breaking even (if it gets to that point) and buy back in at the dip. Also, do you guys think BTC Cash is a good long term investment? Seeing rises of around 25% in just 2 days, quite impressive.

So, the Cryptocurrency Tax Fairness Act was introduced in Congress today (September 7th, 2017). The proposed bill will make it much easier to use Bitcoin to pay for every day goods and services.

"...the Cryptocurrency Tax Fairness Act would.... require the Treasury Department to issue guidelines for informational reporting on digital currency transactions for which capital gains is due..."

This is the first time a bill has been introduced in Congress to encourage cryptocurrency’s use and, if successful, would mark a huge stepping stone for the widespread adoption of Bitcoin in businesses all over the United States.
