your "Analysts" that you are quoting here for us seems to be looking in the wrong places, possibly in an altcoin market at a shitcoin pump and dump. this is bitcoin we are talking about here, and for bitcoin the news of ETF going either way is not going to cause a mass panic drop to $600 or the other way going to moon to $3500

these "Analysts" specially with their out of blue 35% sound to me more like attention seekers who make big empty claims.

well this is true but sad also.
after 8 years we have come a long way but also we are so far away from that target when we can actually consider bitcoin as something we use to pay for day to day stuff such as a cup of coffee. the transaction fees can soon go up to be as expensive as a cup of coffee!

it certainly is a new concept that this here is trying, and i also think it is a nice thing. although we have to wait and see more of it in real action too, before making a complete decision about this.
if the points of loyalty can reach a balance and not overdo it, it can be pretty revolutionary.

it is a bit hard to understand what you mean but i think you are not checking the right thing for number of "new transactions" or better said unconfirmed transactions in the memory pool.
use this https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions and it says more than 9K right now. and it is way less than it was before but this number is still a huge one compared to normal days of 2K-3K transactions in mempool.

but where is it even being traded! i am not going to click on that link and i can not find any information on this coin (MRAI) on coinmarketcap.com and i couldn't find it on the exchange that i use!

correct me if i am wrong but
this means it is either not released or not available on any valid exchange and in other words it doesn't matter if it goes from 0 to 1million because i am not going to invest my coins in somewhere that i don't know like an unknown exchange service.

GUNBOT is pretty new one and i have never heard of it before expect in advertisements!!!
but CAT is one of the old bots and i have never heard any complaints about it until today. and the feedback i have heard was good about this bot.

although i have to say i am not personally using any of these bots because i have never felt the need to "pay" and use the features they offer to make any profit while trading.

and also remember that a trading bot, does not mean click a button and make profit. a trading bot only means making some stuff easier for you, so you have to have some trading knowledge beforehand.

you are making an investment and this investment is one of those types that has high risks, which means you should understand these high risks first and try to reduce them somehow. and if you accept these risks then invest.
you do things like educating yourself first about how things work, then investing while the price is low, and investing in altcoins that have some real future not just an illusion. try reading some of the announcement topics and look at some price charts.

i wish it was that easy to just have a price number in mind and then buy there!
the best thing is to open up some positions (at least a couple of them) and wait for them to be filled, but there is always going to be some of them that will be unfilled and you will be left with less bitcoin that you hoped for and fall behind of the rocket to the moon.

in trading you can never be sure, it is all about that "guess" that you make. if you are good at it, you can make a more accurate guess and make more profit than you lose and if you don't know what you are doing, you will make far off the mark guesses and lose more than you make.

if you are going to go long with bitcoin then yeah, buy now or otherwise you may miss a lot of chances of buying anything below $1300 but if you are going to go short then the current price may not be a good idea, just wait a little, it is risky but there may be some small dip before the launch to the moon.

bitcoin surely has a volatile market but also don't forget that price is also rising in the long term because of the potential of bitcoin.
in other words a rising volatile market can be used both for short term and long term investment just as easily. it depends on you to choose one of these methods that suites your strategy.

when the pressure to keep the price down is removed price starts rising madly. and these so called "resistances" are broken one after another as fast as possible because the demand has always been there but was hidden with some slight manipulation.
p.s. 1154 and rising. lets see where it stops.

something that has not yet been mentioned is the log-keeping-policy.
the exchanges keep logs of everything, and that includes your deposit address, your withdrawal address, your IP address and all the other information you provide to the exchange service by the time of sign up. which makes tractability easy.

but a mixer promises not to keep logs. if they keep their promise there is not many easy ways of tracking.

is there any tool or chart that shows number of transactions per block for each block. the blockchain.info charts has one (/charts/n-transactions-per-block) but that shows the average number so we can't see the individual blocks per day.

i mostly want to know if the common occurrence of this is new or was common before and i never noticed it.

more blocks:
454186     391
454183     571
454179     519
454177     247
manually checking takes a long time!

it depends on what you are investing your money in. if you are investing in something that is low risk but decent reward then it is the perfect way of making money. and that thing you invest in can be your own business that is already established and is giving you money. in other words invest in yourself instead of investing in others.

i wish this was a poll so we could see how many people around these parts are feeling the same way, because it actually is a very bad sign. it shows you are a stressful person and gambling is not suggested for you. because you either will end up with a heart failure or a serious case of gambling addiction.

the bitcoin holders are relaxed and they don't even care about $1500 that is still way too low for them (them means me too ). when you invest for long term in something like bitcoin you open up preev.com once a month to see how much you have made so far in the past year +1 month, 2 month... and maybe sell something like 0.1BTC once every 6 months to celebrate the achievement

well, technically you can consider trading as an investment too.
when you are trading, you invest in facebook (stock) or something like bitcoin and when it is worth more you sell it or part of it to make profit then buy (invest) when it is low again.

and not to mention the huge increase in the localbitcoins trading website coming from the Chinese who moved their trading off those two exchanges and to other places.

as far as users are concerned, this is not at all acceptable. and we are feeling the effect of it whether by having to wait long period of time or by having to pay much higher fees and still wait.

as far as miners are concerned it seems like they are enjoying their 1BTC-1.25BTC total fee per block.

as far as developers are concerned they only seem to be wanting to say their own solution is good and the other solution is shit, and there is no middle ground so far.


it is also free in other countries such as Iran, just adding
i can purchase things with my debit card online or from the shops pos for free or i can transfer money for free online through my account on the bank website with 2 options of immediate transfer or taking up to 2 hours transfer.
