and even if it is a joke but since it is pumping and profitable, it will be a very profitable joke. Actually, it is good that we have bch because we really can see which is better, large blocks or segwit.

I do not see any connection between bitcoin correction and weekend. Bitcoin trading does not close on any exchanges and on any date. It is always open. It can be corrected on any day of the week. The trend still remains for the past few days, support for 4000$ and resistance for 4400$.

Maybe for now while the difficulty is low but would it still remain more profitable when difficulty starts climbing up. Since you are investing on hardware, would it still be more profitable, long term, if you mine bitcoin?

If you are holding hundreds of bitcoins and will not be moving them for a while, it is best to have a hardware wallet like trezor.

But if you only have a few bitcoin that you continually move around for trading and expenses, you can use light weight wallet like electrum or maybe since it is just small value, a web wallet like blockchain.info will do.

I do altcoin tradings, and if it is just small value of alts, I do not transfer it to my own wallet. I leave it on the exchange. Since I am trading, it will lessen the expense on tx fees when moving it to wallet to exchange and vice versa.

But if I have considerable amount for a certain coin, I move it to my desktop wallet since I only have large amount of alts if I am holding it for a long time.

A few weeks ago I never thought it would never reach this high this early. But bitcoin proved me wrong again. But I still believe it is not yet time to reach 5K. It fall back to 4200 level again after reaching 4400. It is still testing the current resistance level.

It is good news for blockchain.info user like me. I can now keep both bitcoin and ether in one place. But since it is still in beta, I will still use my ether wallet. I will wait till it is out of beta and stable before deciding to use it.

So far in our country, it is the exchanges that the government is regulating. Bitcoin traders are still not taxed. It will be a daunting task for the government to run after those bitcoin traders to tax them. I do not think they will be able to tax them at all.

Recently, there are lots of complain against poloniex regarding withdrawals. It used to be one of the exchanges on the top of my list, now it is kraken and bittrex.

Nothing weird in the tx. He maximized the transaction by compiling small amounts in one transaction. Smart move I say.

You need to read bitcoin whitepaper. It is explained there how blockchain cannot be cheated or hacked. So bitcoin is safe because of blockchain. But if you will be careless with your private keys, then it's your fault you get hacked, not bitcoin.

You are not alone in this one op. I think a lot of people missed the opportunity to invest in bitcoin. Even those who doubted to invest in 2015 have missed a good opportunity and the price back then was 250. It is never too late, bitcoin can still go way up. You can still invest on bitcoin.

It is not advisable to sell any altcoins while the price of bitcoin is busy going up. And recently, it all red days for all altcoins. Unless you bought your eth and ltc at a very low price and you are still in profit even though the price is down, you won't sell your coins. Hold it til the price of bitcoin  settles and alts are on green again.

Hold altcoins if you like but only hold those on the top coins. Holding a wrong coin will just give you losses not profits. Choose wisely on altcoins because a lot of them are useless coins and very few have real uses.

You do not have any problem. You do not have unconfirmed input or low tx fees. 150 sat/Byte is already large enough. Your tx will confirm in a few hours, just wait it out.

I would still go for bitcoin even at current price. It is still good with a little bit below 4K as support and 4.3K as resistance. I play along those prices and earn some profit. But that is just me. LTC is also a good coin. If you want to go long term, invest in both. I do not think you will lose on any of them, long term.

The price is soaring high and it is almost at its current resistance level. You could buy when it drops a bit like 4K or less. You could buy some alts though, they are all red this past few days. They will make good profit when the price stabilize a bit.

I am also curious. At first it was the August 1 effect. BCH airdrop converting into BTC that push the price up. Then it was segwit locking in that continues the push. But I do not know what keeps the price going up now. Maybe it is the effect of the hype of the two events that keeps pushing it. I do not know if it reach 5000$ but it does not yet break the resistance of 4300$ so I think it will take some more time before it reaches 5k.

I am not seeing or hearing any news about LTC right now. I do not think there will be a movement for it. But LTC is a good coin, maybe you should hold a little more longer or buy more for future.

I think it is mostly FUD from hard fork. Users are getting out of exchanges afraid of losing their bitcoin. It was too far ago,  Why do you still ask about it OP? Do you want to repeat the crash?

Earn bitcoins by offering services like signature campaign, coding and development, escrow etc. Or you can trade bitcoin with altcoins in different exchanges. It have some risks because you can lose bitcoin doing trades. You have to buy bitcoin to do this.

But before you do any of this, I advice read up some more about the rules here on btc forum, basics of bitcoin and altcoins.
