Of course bitcoin being the first cryptocurrency that caught the attention of a lot of people , its really gonna be hard for some altcoin to replace it. I understand that there are people who loves to a hostile takeover of bitcoin, as what we have seen lately, but they did not succeed because people really trusted so much on bitcoin ecosystem.

But we shouldn't rest on our laurels because I believed that they would attempt the same attempt in the future. As long as there are people who are willing to buy and trade bitcoin, it will remain as the #1 crytpocurrency in the world. And if ever bitcoin will be replaced, it will literally take years to do that.

I don't think that its hype because it is already real. Those real state company or broker has see something in bitcoin that they are taking advantage of. And I'm thinking that maybe those real state company has also vested interest in bitcoin. That's why they are promoting and accepting bitcoin as mode of payment. And mind you, real state cost little, they are really for high end clients. So the more real state company accepting bitcoin the better for our ecosystem. We might see a big jump next year, when one big clients of them bought there property with bitcoin. Let's see how this pans out.

Good observation. We have heard a lot of of this so called Pump and Dump around and its very evident in the last couple of days as Bitcoin Cash was really pumped so hard that the price doubled in what? less than a week? It was clearly Pump & Dump and we literally saw it into action. I also felt for newbies who have bought Bitcoin Cash when the price is $2000 because they are literally manipulated by people behind pumping the coins. As compare to bitcoin that has a lot of whales and its really hard to do a coordinated attack just like what Bitcoin Cash manipulators did in the last couple of days.

As I go and read some news around, it looks like a wild weekend for the market. Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash was really fighting if I may say so. Nevertheless there are a lot of people who I assumed have made a lot of money from Bitcoin Cash because it touches $2000 or more so for long term holders its a perfect time to off load some of their stash, but for those who bought at less than $1000 is also going home with a lot of profits. Also Bitcoin went down sub $6000 before I went into hibernation, so there's a lot of money going in and out of the market. Also alts seems to have been recovered as well so the past few days that I missed seems to be a bad timing for me to go vacation. I should have made money too, but oh well.

It still dances around $6500-$600 currently. But the recovery of bitcoin is very quick. I was out for a few days but the last time I did checked is the price is down to $5600 or something so when I came back today I'm happy to see that it has rebounded very beautifully. But make no mistake about it, I think its has not fully recovered because investors are still divided about the which coins to go to Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash? However, I consider that investors at one point needs to decide and I speculate that they will go to Bitcoin once more, Bitcoin Cash is simply for a pump and dump and the people behind is somewhat not trusted by this community.

Everybody loves to invest because you want to get a profit. The question is there are hundreds of startups of what we call ICO now and its really hard to separate what's legit and what is scam ICO. IF you are not aware, there are have a lot of scam ICO, running away with investors money. But if you do your homework, like checking the team behind the project, researching about the ICO, roadmaps, whitepapers etc. If you think that the ICO is worth to put up your money then by all means invest on it.

It was reported that bitcoin trading still exist underground or OTC. Chinese will always find a way to continue with their bitcoin activity. However, it has risk so until we heard that someone is caught and what appropriate actions will be taken by the authorities, I believed that bitcoin will be alive in China. Another thing that crosses my mind is that maybe they can do cross borders like going to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan to resume their bitcoin trading.

LOL. But its very annoying, on the contrary its a very satisfying ride. We all know how roller coaster moves, it has its up and will slide down very hard, I hope we all brace ourselves when it is going down, because others can't stomach it and choose to bail out early. Right now its a big challenge ahead, price dropping, investing moving to BCH to make profit. However, after all what have been said and done. They will still go back to bitcoin market and ride once more. So for now, don't jump off the roller coaster because very soon we are going up once more. Just continue to brace and just expect the unexpected and just hold on your bitcoins.

Interesting fights to see:

Matt Brown vs Diego Sanchez. I think both fighters are very entertaining specially Diego Sanchez. Both have a gung-ho style of fight and last man standing will be the winner. Diego though bleeds easily however Matt Brown has weaknesses in his body and can easily get hurt once a perfect body shot lands. But I think Matt Brown being the natural 170 lb'er will win this fight.

Yeah, I'm seeing Pettis improving his condition and might fight for the title soon. But he has a hurdle to overcome as I believed that Dustin Poirier is a live dog, but I don't think that Anthony will let this one slip away. This is a easy fight for him, and no doubt that he can win this fight via KO.

I don't know about bitcoin, but I would tell you that I have a stocks that I have been holding for more than 15 years now. Right, I was part of the dotcom bubble and I have stocks that I have bought during that period (1999-2001). So I think for bitcoin its possible to hold it for longer times. However, the online difference is that bitcoin is gaining very big every year or even months that's why its very hard to really hold in for longer terms unless you really bought like 1 bitcoin and store it in your hardware wallet and just keep it away.

I just finished watching the replay of the fight. And its looks like just a "OK" performance from GSP. He was heavily breathing from round 2 onwards and he is huge. LOL. I think he needs a few more fights though, but since he is a champion I'm expecting him to face the challenge. It looks like he will vacant, based on the interview though. Also, he is too small for a middle weight and this is not his natural weight. This is just for the fanfare and to become a 2 divisional champion. Nothing else.

I think its not underestimated but people didn't really re-discover bitcoin up until this year. 2017 is really a "breakout" year for bitcoin because the price has risen to 700% and we haven't seen anything like this in history. And this year a lot bitcoin has exponentially grow not only in prices but in its user based. You can see the trading platform customers has ballooned to significant proportions as well. So in relation to that, bitcoin price also rises. This is just the tip of the iceberg and I'm expecting that 2018 will also be a great year for bitcoin. Some says that that the price could go to the moon.

Correct, how can it be a bubble when you can define its usage. Be it a commodity or store of value of even currency. It has its usage. And once this so called bubble pops, it has still the ability to go put another bubble and then we can call it a bubble again. LOL. Its gonna be a vicious cycle. And then their is the scarcity factor as well, its getting difficult to mine bitcoin as time passes by, making the price go up because of scarcity unlike the tulip mania wherein everyone can plant and sell so they saturate the market easily but not in the case of bitcoin.

First, the reason why the price of bitcoin has grown exponentially in the last couple of weeks because of the looming Segwit2x that is scheduled around Nov. 16. Investors are then buying bitcoins like crazy because they anticipated that with this fork they will get free coins as well. However, yesterday, Segwit2x proponents decided to postponed this activation. Obviously, some are disappointed to this news because they will not get their free coins that's why they quickly cash out and sold of their bitcoin and move their funds to altcoins market. That's why the price of bitcoin has continue to drop because of this reasons.

The fork has nothing to do with Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin price drop because of the postponement of Segwit2x activation. Many investors and traders who put their money on Bitcoin ecosystem because they have to get free coins during Segwit2x. But since it was decided to postponed it, those same investors and traders, sold off and cash out their bitcoin that's why the price drop. And as far as Bitcoin Cash, we don't know if some of them bought this coins but I'm sure that someone from behind is trying to manipulate the price of it that's why it is suddenly rising. As for your questions, I always told that if you have the funds to buy it today then don't wait get it while the price is low and then wait till it gets lower because it might not happened.

Right, and even if bitcoin is ban, there are a lot of ways to continue to do your trading or exchanging of your bitcoin. Just like the above posters said. Even China can't stop the flow of bitcoin OTC. But as far as India banning it, I'm at lost because there is no official word coming from the government and all we can see is pure speculation. But I believed that there are a lot of anti bitcoin proponents and lawmakers in India, the question is why. I think before making any decision to ban it, they should put further study the advantage and positive things that bitcoin could bring in their nation. Even right now a lot of Indian are treating bitcoin signature campaigns are jobs now and its even paying them better if they work in their country.

Actually this is the best time to get into the market and buy bitcoin because the price is dropping. So its a great entry point and don't wait till the price floors as you might miss the perfect opportunity. Bitcoin is now below $6700 and we don't know when is the next pump. At least if you can buy today, we wouldn't miss another bull run. Or if the price continues to drop then you can still get more bitcoin and stash in somewhere.

This is a welcoming news for those parents who are into bitcoin. I read somewhere that in New Jersey, there is a restaurant that only accepts bitcoin and cash but not credit card as well. And now its a school. Victory for bitcoin indeed. And I'm pretty sure that those parents that are not into bitcoin will became curious as to what it is and maybe they would get into bitcoin and will used it in the future to pay with their kids tuition. We all know bitcoin's price is so volatile, so maybe the schools can get extra funds in bitcoin price soars. But as a parent, I wouldn't mind paying in bitcoins though.

Quite expensive too. If it runs on its Operating System, then it would be just like iOS wherein they have a total manipulation. Never heard of any review yet, it is really that secure, has it been stress tested. Plus this is not for the masses, perhaps that target is more on a class, specially those businessman. And maybe most apps that will be deployed is for pure cryptocurrency used, like wallets. Let's see how it goes, but for me the price is very expensive. Well maybe that's the price you have to pay if you really wanted to be more secured.

Just like I have said in another thread, this is a well planned attack at the very beginning. Look at Bitcoin Cash sudden price increased, Roger Ver and his cohorts are pumping it real hard so that the community will think that is the real "Bitcoin".


They have put a lot of doubts in the bitcoin community, continuing to spread FUD. But we should used our common sense here. It's already postponed, no software upgrade, and its gonna be messy. Let's see how long this Bitcoin Cash price rise can be sustained.
