I'm also not buying this conspiracy. That's what you love about Satoshi, he's truly a genius, creating bitcoin and then went MIA. He played this card very well that why bitcoin is gaining popularity everyday. If he the project is of US intelligence, well they made it so bad that almost everyone wants to get a hands on it. And because its not only used by American or British or Canadian intelligence, but Terrorist as well. So its a complete failure from their end. Unless Satoshi come out of the open(from his grave), and declare that it's really a US intelligence project, I'm not going to believe on this conspiracy.

Yes, with the current surge of customers, exchanges can't cope with the demand, their services started to declined, and the best way to cope with is to have downtimes, closing its membership. However, as a service provider, they should at all cost, upgrade their infrastructure so that they can give us better support. I think they can really adapt it at the background, well if a downtime is needed, I think it should be at a minimum so that customers like us will continue to used them. They are earnings millions by now, its about time that they should provide us seamlessly.

What do you expect? They have issued a total ban already, its just a matter of time that the full hands of the law will be implemented. Bali safe haven for bitcoin transaction? Of course, its a tourist spot so I'm sure that a lot of foreigners are using bitcoin to withdraw money then convert it to fiat using localbitcoins. I'm sure that the Indonesian authority will get be very busy looking and unravelling Indonesian's involved in bitcoin. Unfortunately, bitcoin will still thrive in countries in South East Asia, they will always find a way to earn bitcoin underground, away from the prying eyes of the government.

Bitcoin and centralization should not be put in same breathe. I suggest you guys should read Satoshi's Whitepaper. Here's the link: (https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf), instead of asking questions, first understand its designed and then ask if you find any flaw.


Exactly, lots of newbie thread asking the same question again. We don't want to be rude, but if they have the decency to read and understand what bitcoin is, they wouldn't asked such basic questions. I guess its either they are totally noob and just goes here and think that its a quick rich scheme, or they have intentions to spread confusion among newbies (paid schills), or just want to be spoonfeed with everything. 

If you using trading platforms as your wallet and then complained about its not safe., then you really need to learn more about how to protect your wallet. Trading platform are not really safe, that's why we have wallets such as Electrum and Bitcoin Core to begin with. Don't put all your funds in a trading platform, moved it to a wallet that you have total control of your private keys.


Then it will defeat the purpose of bitcoin being decentralized if there's a regulatory body in between. Bitcoin is irreversible and it has no name associated with it. If you are looking for safety, then deal with banks. I guess you should read about Satoshi's Whitepaper, so you will understand how bitcoin was designed and what its purpose.

Yeah, Bitcoin is of another discussion, and I don't think that they really have a significant effect on the price during the crash 2-3 ago. News (Positive or Negative), usually influence the mind of investors and always think that the market is based on speculation. A sudden news will tilt the equilibrium on either direction. As far China and South Korea, those are FUD's, what's concern me though is that when China release a news, it always have a double meaning, you can't really understand if they are going to ban everything related to crypto, or just spreading news that will create a panic and then they will bought bitcoin quietly. Of course, its really hard to proved, but somewhat you can't really think of any excuses as to why they releases such statement. As for South Korea, no definite directions as well. So we really need to be vigilant everyday and update ourselves of the current news so that we can make correct decisions specially during market crash.

I wouldn't say that we are mooning, but definitely the price is picking up today. Its now heading to $13,000, and I'm sorry for those newbies who have sold  their coins during the crash. They make the biggest mistakes that you can do during crash, to panic sell. I'm sure that they head is somewhat clear by now and know what really happened, high price to pay, but hey, its part of their learning process. But I would like to see a steady recovery, much safe in my opinion. We don't want a sudden surge once again, it will look like its another artificial pump. Let the growth be organic, otherwise we will see another crash in the horizon if the price is pump so hard to reach $20K.

I don't think the Bitconnect news will have a drastic impact on the market, unless otherwise you can give us proof. The news that Bitconnect is a scam have been floating in for about a month now, if it has a negative effect, it should already be price in already. And just like what I said in the last couple of days, bitcoin is on recovery phase. The waiting out game is already done. Investors started to flock the ecosystem once again. Before I went to bed, the price of bitcoin is around $11,000-$11,500 and it looks like its stuck on that levels. However, it's gaining momentum and we should expect a rally ad testing $13,000-$15,000 in the next days or so.

Another non-sense article. The twin have so much money that they don't care if bitcoin goes to a market crash. They are bag holders on if and I doubt that they will dump it soon. LOL. They pitch that they become billionaires when bitcoin peaks at $19,000 then suddenly brush it off when it goes down. Do they really look at everyone's wallet and see who becomes millionaire or billionaire? I'm waiting for another articles saying that they become billionaires again when bitcoin surpasses $20,000 this year. LOL. And not only the twins have been affected by all of this bloodbath in the last couple of days, but all investors. Oh well, everyone is riding the popularity of bitcoin, every clicks, every read they got is money for those social media outlet now.

You don't need to worry at all. Those people who keeps spreading false news about bitcoin is simply creating a panic amongst investors to make them sell their stash. That's how they operate. They want people to dump so that they can buy and accumulate more. So you shouldn't listen and don't be affected by those paid schills, always remember that. And people celebrating when bitcoin goes up as those new to the market, they are happy to see their portfolio growing, but disappointment sets up, so they sell because they don't like to lose and they listen to the FUD around. Don't be that kind of noob, just stay calm during price correction, and just hold and I'm sure that it will go on our favor long term.

Of course, we have seen that a correction is normal and temporary. No need to shift back funds from bitcoin to other investment platforms because you just make it too complicated on your end. The price is currently above $11,700 and if it goes to $12,000 then is safe to assume that the bears are coming back. But as far as investing on Gold, its also a good move, I have nothing against Gold investors. But for me going to move my funds because the price of bitcoin is declining, I wouldn't do that at all. Both are good for a long term profits, but I will rather stick to bitcoin which will give us a better percentage of profit at the end of the year just by holding on it.

Yes, everyone is really in for making money and profits. That's why we have this so called pump and dump groups. They will do everything to hype a project and then they are the one who is also killing it. How many coins that we have seen de-listed on a exchange? There are de-listed because not enough money is being put to that coin, or maybe just the pump and dump group haven't to notice that coin? but if you look at the background, devs are really working hard to improve the coins, unfortunately, it was already de-listed by the trading platform. Those group doesn't really give a damn about a coin, as long as they can make money out of it through continues pump and then taking the profits, they will continue to do so.

Oh OK, that's why we can't find anything that we can relate all this FUD and we just woke up seeing the market has crashed already. And then we pinpoint all the FUD coming around the South Korean government supposedly banning of all things crypto related. Not the first time though, Chinese have been doing this sort of manipulation before, however, I was quite surprised South Korean's officials doing this fraudulent act. Let's see how it goes, I hope that everything is clear enough that this is just pure FUD and hope that everything will be normal in the next couple of days.

Nice to see the Cavaliers to get a win and stop the slide, snapping a 4 game losing streak. However, there still drama at the end, and there's a chance that Cavaliers could have lost that one. Same story, they have a huge lead and almost choke, actually they did, and IT was fouled and hit 2 free throws. So it can still go either way, but they got lucky at the end. I think they still need more improvement as far as defense. When the Magic is making a comeback, Cavaliers gave them easy look at the basket that why they were able to come back and take a 1 point lead. I'm still not totally sold out with the Cavaliers last performance.

I think you can breath a sigh of relief for now. Because bitcoin is holding strong at $11,500 but its still a far cry from the $17,000-$19,000 that we enjoyed in the November-2nd week of December 2017. We are in the road to recovery, it may be slow but its better that way because we don't want the price to quickly surge just like we have seen last year. But I will remain cautious as the South Korean FUD is still up and their government hasn't made any official announcement as to what direction they really want to go. But I'm optimistic that whatever the outcome is, it will have a short term effect to the ecosystem. But it was nice to see that the crypto sphere is already back on its feet.

And those newbies keeps shouting that bitcoin will go to $50,000 at the end of the year, are the first out to be shaken and get out of the market immediately.


Well, those newbies will really learn it the expensive way, some of them really bought at the top price, what do you expect from inexperienced traders? And this always happened with bitcoin market is having a correction, newbies, paid schills creating FUD, but when bitcoin recovered and going all-time-highs again, those account will be quiet and you can't hear anymore from them.


Oh well it maybe the case, but I'm sure most of them didn't know what hit them when the market crashes and the only choice they have is to push the sell buttom. Sigh!!!

It's really funny to see thread coming alive and resurrected and says that bitcoin will be dead specially when the price is on a deep crash like we have seen a couple of days. How many times have we really seen bitcoin died? NADA. But you have to admire those paid schills around, how ironic because I'm sure that they are holding more bitcoins stash somewhere. LOL. For bitcoin to be dead, this forum should died as well. Do you think that investors will just pull out their money from the ecosystem and shift it to other investment like stocks on the altcoin market? Those fools keeps barking, but the more they shout the more people are laughing at them. We still up like more than 10% year-to-year. So the likelihood that bitcoin is going away is 0.

Yes, I just used it 2 days ago to be exact. You have to create an account first before you can exchange your coins. Actually its my first time to used them and I've been reading a lot of reviews and its seem they got a good rating as compare to Shapeshit, I mean Shapeshift which the fee's are ridiculous high. I exchanged my Ethereum to Bitcoin. I was nervous at first but then I go and went with the transaction. Of course I double checked everything before sending it out. I did it when I was about to sleep, so I don't know how long the transaction takes place, although my Ethereum transaction (with 50 GWEI) was immediately, I was worried about the conversion and the deposit on my account. But Lo and Behold, when I wake up changelly confirmed that my transaction is done and when I opened my wallet its already there. . So I can vouch that they are legit.

Edit: My transaction is .5 Ethereum only.


Shapeshift charges more If I'm not mistaken.

If you guys are not Asian, you wouldn't understand how people in that region really celebrate holidays specially New Year. Its a festivities that everyone is looking for that's why there are really a lot of dumping during this time because we all need fiat's. Although last year, we didn't see similar activity if I'm not mistaken, but times have changed now. And I would agree with the article, it covered what we have suspected all along, that this dump is attributed to those factors. We can't really stressed enough how the Asian market plays a big role, so I sudden sneeze causes a domino effect on the price of crypto's in general. But again, this is just a short term in the economy. Bitcoin is slowly regaining and building momentum.

Bitcoin is global, from rich to poor, men and women, everyone is welcome because it has no boundaries. And for most people, they already see it as a money, currency and we all know that we need money around to survived. Also its really gaining popularity specially last year, there's still a lot of people who are not aware of it  but there are a lot of reports that it's slowly creeping around the world that's why you will see that some countries are banning it because they believe it can disrupt their economy. You self admit, that you have little knowledge, then its about time to broaden understanding about how bitcoin work and how you can earn. So as far as the target, it encompasses everyone, and its not only for the Asian or Western market.
