As much as we don't want a split, obviously, it happened already so there's no need to complain right now. But as far as being challenge? I don't see any altcoins posing a threat to bitcoin, not even Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum or XRP. Well they have tried but didn't suggest. So for sure Bitcoin will still have the consensus support of this community whatever challenges it would face from "altcoins". And I'm sure that you're aware of the people behind Bitcoin Cash, most of them are not to blindly trusted anyways, so that's enough proof that those coins will still be small as compare to the "real Bitcoin".

Nope. Not in this market. Past performance is not a good indicator here because you have to remember that this market is based on pure speculation. So its very very difficult to predict just based on its historical logs. Although we can learn some lessons here, but totally relying on its past specially last year's showing, there's no guarantee that we can have a bull run before the end of the year. So If I were you, don't expect too much so that you won't get disappointed at the end.

So it looks like they're enforcing KYC, not surprised at all since a lot of trading exchanges lately has succumb to government pressures requiring them a full KYC on all of their clients. If you're not comfortable giving them your personal data, then don't do it, simply as that.

I suggest you create a Announcement thread on the appropriate board here.. Weird though, I try to access your site in clearnet but it seems it takes forever to load on my end. Do you have reserve BTC though, just in case something doesn't end well with you and your clients? Yes, as @MadGamer, signed a message to show you have the reserves BTC. How can ensure anonymity for the prying eyes of governments?

I tried to search if they have a official account here and I found this thread [ANN] BitMEX - Bitcoin Mercantile Exchange Official Thread. Unfortunately, that thread is dead and the account BitMEXdotcom hasn't log on for the last 2 years. I guess the only way is to reach them through their twitter account: https://twitter.com/bitmexdotcom?lang=en.

In a news related to Rafael Nadal's injury, it was reported that a exhibition match in Saudi with Novak Djovovic is cancelled because of his abdominal injury. Well his knee operations will take weeks to heal at least so there's no way for him to really attend this exhibition match anyways.

Saudi exhibition off due to Nadal injury, says Djokovic

Exactly, I wanted for bitcoin to be used as a currency, (which I'm been doing for more than 1 year now). But at the same time, I have some I kept not to be used but rather as a investment, so obviously, I'm also here to make money, to be honest. So I'm somewhat in between as well, or somewhere between the currency aspect and the Store of Value in can bring to people, specially those who have tons of money to invest.

Just remember this old adage: If it's too good to be true it probably is.


They're scammers. You should be careful of all offers. You don't know this guys personally, so don't be blindly accept their offers, simply as that.


Well, this is why we have this community. To help its other out. Although you will read lots of senior members bashing a lot of newbies, its because majority of them are here to join bounties, But if you have legitimate concerns and questions, I'm sure you will hear a lot of positive advises to you. Goodluck.

I mean what will be the purpose of those cartel? To monopolized the market? C'mon this is 2018 already there are millions of traders around globally, so its going to be hard to control this market. Going back to my question, they wanted to manipulate the price so that they can buy and hoard a lot of coins? That's how supposedly a cartel works, but so far we haven't seen anything out of the extraordinary to say that they can literally control the price the way they wanted.

Yeah, probably what I witnessed is that the tosser really master his craft, that's why he also wins and bettors thinks he is cheating or something. This is really a old school street gambling games in the Philippines. Maybe time has changed what coins are being used today, but still the rules of the game is still in the same.

Isn't it called "Kara Krus" or "cara y cruz"?

Haven't played that game, but I used to watch it being played when I was a boy in our place as well. Again it looks like another Spanish influence on Filipinos. As far as I can remember, it can be played anywhere, but there's always some heated debate as accusations of cheating (specially for losing bettors), but I don't know how can someone cheat unless he totally rigs the coins.

I guess that's Floyd being Floyd, really scared when everything is on the line. Lmao. I was reading the news and I find it funny that he doesn't understand what's going on and blaming the organizers. He should move his ass, go to the US then, what the hell is he doing in Japan then? C'mon, he was being misled by the organizers, how stupid you are if you don't know what's they're talking about unless you just understand that big money is being offered to him.

We really say for certain if SEC will approve any ETF, but you need to ask yourself, is this market manipulated? If you answer YES, then there's no way that we will get approval. Maybe its imminent, but not this year though. If you're expecting a massive bull run similar to 2017 it won't happen as well even if ETF is approve because investors are smarter now, they won't simply buy any news at all.

No. This kind of news is not enough in my opinion to push the price again although this is really a welcoming news especially for South Koreans. Again, we really do have a lot of interesting news coming out but its seems that investors are no longer interested or just waiting for the big one, SEC ETF's review and decision and the Bakkt physical bitcoin offerings. I think those two will really impact the market in a positive way, so we have to watch out for this news in the next coming days.

Hmm. I have a bit of mix emotions, specially hearing the predictions of this so called experts, again. Obviously, we wanted to see bitcoin making a run for another all-time-high every year so it doesn't change a bit. We wanted to see it happened in 2018, but no, what we witnessed is a dramatic fall? Then can we say that 2019 will bring new hope? Maybe, maybe not as we don't have a crystal ball to see and predict the future. If there's a lot of positive news then surely it will bring some impact to the price because this market is based purely on speculation. So its really hard to say what 2019 can bring to us.

When you say currency of the future, does it mean it will make fiat obsolete? Again, I don't see it happening though, perhaps bitcoin will be widely accepted as means of on-line payment or even you can purchase something in your local groceries or pizza for that matter. But if you are thinking that it will replace fiat, it won't happen. Let's take for example USD, do you think that bitcoin can replace it as the universal currency? I don't think so.

What do you expect? He is just a kid, what's inspiring about this story though is that you can really made a lot of money in cryptoverse, but you have to be very very careful of your investments as well because it can go on either direction as well. At least he is not as dumb as this Indian Teenager Threatens to Blow Up Miami Airport over Alleged Bitcoin Scam.

Believed it or not, there are a lot of gullible people who blindly trust anyone specially if they see $$$. Their decision is clouded and sooner or later they will find it the hard way. Again, all red flags are in place, a newbie account, too good too be true offers, so another scam attempt in the forum. For those reading this, do not fall for this trap because there's no such thing as easy way to make money, unless you're dealing with criminal acts.

This is not the first time we have been in this kind of situation. We have been in worst situations before, like after the Mt. Gox heist wherein the price suddenly plummeted and all hope was lost. The bear market went on for like a year or two, but hodler didn't give up during that hard times and we see that after a couple of years, bitcoin started to recover and the price push to its all-time-high last year ($19k++). So yes, we will see bitcoin growing again, its just a matter of time. On the bright side, this is accumulation period for most of us so, I suggest you do that as well.

Yes, sample size is too small to reflect the overall sentiments of countries mentioned. So its looks like its far from the truth to say the least. Only thing worth mentioning though about Indonesia is how big their community here, similar to other countries in Asia like Philippines, but it doesn't mean that the country pegged around 40% awareness though. Its too big and I can't imagine how crypto scene will be in Indonesia if that statistic is correct.
