The resistance test that just happened showed that their is a far stronger bull market indication than that of a bear.
Otherwise the price would not have started recovering rapidly after that recent price dump today at least for now  it is not anywhere near a peak.

Thanks so roughly one more day to get in that said I'll take +9.01 to 9.25% and just smile as I watch the price hit $400 USD on coindesk
Looking back at the rounds so far we are at set to see the highest increase already at 6% so +-3 still seems like a possible hit .

That is quite a strange twist of events, in my opinion this is temporary and will change in time.
Right now it's a sad sign of the criminal activity being treated as equal to Bitcoin just by being the means of exchange.
You cannot blame BTC for ransoms.

It is kind of funny that this thread has already been renamed once or twice and will need to be renamed yet again due to the frantic pace of appreciation.
Either way it does feel exponential now as the pace of price appreciation is picking up a lot more than over the last six weeks.

Thanks the accounting totals are different Bifu and Smartcoin did not show up on Coindesk but Coindesk still has a higher total number so it is interesting. That said there are always little nuances that are due to language differences so perhaps it is listed but your link has a neat tracker in bubble form thanks for sharing that and I'll be sure to keep track of that one as well.

I still feel that he would be able to get a security network among the richest people in the world like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and others to protect him, although I'm sure more than a handful of Bitcoiners would come to his aid .

That said an official Bitcoin holiday besides Pizza day would be a nice way to commerate Bitcoins creation.

I'll have to give you a cookie for that prediction a good call so far.
Seeing how we are nearing 375 dollars this round you may end up hitting it spot on, that said if it does target the 400 USD range right now whether it can truly push past this limit or not is the question I speculate the most upon.

Being back on a positive year to date is a good sign.
For most of Bitcoins history its year to date has always been higher than the previous year, with exception to the last decrease from 1000 to 200 when the trend has broken.
If it follows the historical trend of Year to Year returns it is a positive statement.

Reading through the thread and with consideration to other local boards and their overall activity, the merit of a sub-section seems reasonable to me.
That and this threads constant bumping one way or the other seems to signify a strong vocal demand for it.

The Croatian subforum also raises questions about the rationale to ignore this subsection, either way debating about it seems to be getting nowhere so either the forum is censoring languages and usage or they just don't have a qualified moderator interested in taking up the position which seems like a valid reason for a nomination process.

Badbears last updated statistics were from July so if he is bored a 4 month update would seem worth a look to provide better insight.

I forget what block picks are no longer accepted but seeing how it hit $500 dollars on a Canadian exchange (cavirtex) which is halfway to 1k and keeps appreciating at a rapid pace i'll keeps lurking waiting for a high pick.

In regards to pick claims I think that a range decrease of 0.1% is a good idea, however if the price appreciates at the rate it has during the next few rounds keeping 0.25% would work as old miners are likely to return to operation and the old miners becoming operational again increases the  variances if these prices remain and sustain themselves for a while.

It looks like everyone seemed to have got it by now
The honeybadger should be there instead of ants
Its redundant to say digital cryptocurrencies when referring to one crytocurrency and O'reilly seems strange.

On the Bitcoin venture capital listing it seems they have not been added yet but that data is only up to date until October 19th.
That saids its going to be a good number to add to the list, as I have been tracking to see if it hits the 1 billion total by the end of this year in declared venture funding.
Thanks for the share

In addition is there an English version of the whitepaper only found the one in manadarin

I can't really say that this is the definition of a dead cat bounce, the ball has been falling for almost 9 months so it has the indications of a recovery in my own speculative analysis.

But to appease the bear in me, as with most rallys a Ponzi scheme such as MMM would be a consideration.

I haven't checked recently but I presume that the next testing point is roughly the 360 range it threaded back in 2014, once it passes or shores up a stable support at that range it will hit the target 400 then 420 which in my opinion is more interesting because its a very stubborn range for Bitcoin to tread past as breaking it and hitting $450 enters the next target range. The duration of how long it may take is the question, pattern wise its been around a full year of declining prices, now with the pattern in reverse the pace might follow a similar pattern over the next year which does sync up with halving in 9 months and 2 weeks coincidentally.

On the two year chart it looks like we are getting there, out of that price range of 197-284 and entering into the second range of 297 to 404 USD the next level after that using blockchains price history is the trading range from 447 to 650 with a few bumps we passed the most important resistance point and have a good probality to hit at least to $400 for a period.

Thanks for the share, Brazil is not an exchange that I focus my attention on it is an important exchange.
That said it's good to hear trading volume is rising as it is a large market for money in Latin America and assuming all is going well higher volumes means increased incentive to improve and develop more bitcoin services as more users are attracted to the ecosystem so it's good to see a positive feedback loop .

There are a variety of methods which can be used to seperate Bitcoin from the internet or use the internet as means of communication.
Rather than listing them all it makes more sense to just look in this thread to acquire more information.

My one word to describe Bitcoin is:

Eternal

The Blockchain ledger will exist long after we all pass away as long as nodes remember.

Coindesk has it presently set at 330.20
Based on the trend over the last month showing no real signs of stopping it may be a promising month up ahead for miners, bitcoin holders and the ecosystem with the press attention.

Ha-ha this thread has grown a lot more popular, its also due to the increase in Bitcoin prices.
The correlation between the amount of interest people have in mining is similar to the number of people who make picks in the thread at any point in time 

All the likely targets were taken so I'll strategize this round and use time advantage in case some serious hash appears before the picks close.
Aka an above 10% prediction. Or just let it close naturally 

It's sentiment since there always is a reason
Could also just be some pushback after a steady declining pattern over the year and a combination of news articles all focusing on Bitcoin and the blockchain that is bringing it back to mainstream attention at present.
