That's how you wind up with 50% or fewer coins for the same outlay than just staying put. At no point did I ever believe any of the contentious forks would succeed.

Mr. Lingham projectile shat his credibility out the window the moment he sold everything in anticipation of some long forgotten fork attempt. Most of these people seem to wind up blowing it at some point and then turn embittered when their own genius fails them.

I'm really not sure at the moment. You could try Okex which worked fine for me.

The time of your computer is running too fast. It's ahead of the NEM chain time. Dial your computer time back.

Are you sure you want to send to Cryptopia? Nothing but problems for many a person.

Ok. I'll give Segwit a whirl too. This is my new address - 37d1ZQVYmxVSrweXcyioyPgxNv1cZDrbgq

I can't be arsed to sign the old one so you'll have to assume I haven't been hijacked. And it's my problem anyway.

There is truly only one - Japan. That's the only place where its legitimacy has been fully enshrined in law. With everywhere else we're still second guessing. What might be positive grunts today could turn into panic tomorrow with clumsy attempts to clamp down.

This is from the Guardian which all about overbearing statehood and certainly wouldn't encourage people to be striking out on their own.

And it's consistent with the author's ethos. He's all about balance, steady returns and protecting your capital. I'd say it's a valid point of view from his angle. The beanie baby thing really should be shot in the head by now though.

It's no different from a Bitcoiner squealing about being banned from r/investing. That's not what they're about at all.

Well, since August the only completely reliable way has been waiting for the forks to roll in. That's certainly grown anyone's Bitcoin balance and it isn't letting up. Nice of the forkers to think of the holders.

Perhaps you've yet to witness a full on panic. Emotions turn on a dime. The people boasting about 'buying the dip' run screaming when it becomes real. Only the people without emotions, the real traders, are the ones who buy at the absolute bottom. Every other mug waits for it gain a few tens of per cent.

Everyone likes to boast about their muscular trading plans when it's a on rip. They turn to dust when fear descends.

The 2011 bubble went from $32 to $2.

Each one is completely different of course so there's no way of knowing, but the one thing that doesn't change is human nature which is what gives birth to bubbles in the first place.

We still don't really know what role Gox played in the lead up to the 2013 bubble. We certainly know about its role in its deflation though.

Goldman Sachs gave up their predictions around the $4000 ish mark. Why should be listen to anyone else? It'll do what it's going to do. That price is possible. It would be a deeper fall than 2013 but not by very much, but it'll take something pretty radical for it to happen.

The bitcoin white paper describes it as deflationary. To deflate then inflation has to stop. The current outpouring of coins is an anomaly compared to its eventual status.

There've already been two halvings of the block reward. That continues until it's an infinitesimal amount every day. Then it ends completely.

Hmm. What is that I'm sniffing in the air? Is it a cloud of despair or the whiff of just another day?

Don't sweat OP, there's a new Monday like clockwork every damned week.

That guy ate it.

How did you pay for them? In most places you can get banking records going back a few years. If you paid with a card or bank transfer it should show up. Other than that you'll probably need to assume a 0 cost basis for the sake of a quiet life, especially with the IRS.

This guy's been a consistent source. It's fairly clear something will be hammered out.

'Bans' are a little bit harder when people aren't afraid to moan and the politicians might get voted out for pissing them off.

I used Coinomi which worked fine. As the forks get ever more poxy you might have to change wallet to access the more obscure ones. I ended up using Bitpie/Bither for stuff like Bitcoin Diamond.

Whatever you do make sure your BTC leaves the wallet with that private key before claiming any other forks. And since it's conceivable you can derive a seed from an individual private key you'll need a new seed on your Keepkey if you return your BTC to it.

You can get the private key from a seed with this - https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39 and then import it into another wallet.

Interesting to see how this plays out in a democratic nation. China was in the bag as soon as they decided. This'll be different.

However all of this uncertainty has been caused by the stunning irresponsibility of the people running exchanges there. They're utter morons not to have voluntarily sought some type of regulation many, many years ago.

The South Korean market is basically completely unregulated as is.

If BTC takes a proper shit, what do you think the alts will do? This market is straining at the seams from all the hot air. Copied white papers and a few soothing words have reached billions.

Alts are no type of hedge in a real crash. LTC lost 98% of its value vs 86% for BTC. USD is the only real hedge.

Kraken's been screwed forever and they just underwent a giant overhaul. Give it a few days.

I'd guess this is the first time banks are seeing mass interest in crypto and they probably really don't like what they're seeing. I doubt it's as much to with the nature of crypto as the compliance nightmares it brings.

They don't want to be ravaged by tripping up all the money laundering laws flying around these days, unless they're doing the laundering.

At the very worst there'll always be P2P.

Another one? I thought it was last week. And the week before. And... blah blah blah. One day you may be right. I hope you skip around in a small circle and jump up and down with glee when it happens.
