2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Big Fish Entering Bitcoin Waters: All Eyes on December 10th and 18th on: December 06, 2017, 11:05:43 PM
Generally, joy and optimism are awaiting the new market players that will join the Bitcoin realm, their pockets full of fresh cash to invest and add to the demand, when futures are traded by CME and CBOE on Dec. 10 and 18.

The news from CME even sent Bitcoin price to a new all-time high of $7,000; thus it is unsurprising that the small fry on forums and around the dinner table are excited about the prospect of new investors coming in on the backs of futures.

Sorry guys for the links, I am trying to get my site up there and need a little help in promoting it.

Ill not post anymore links on this thread.

Just a thought, with the scare mongering do you think it's a good thing for our beloved coin? Drive the price down for it to boom again?

A little off topic guys but do you think the banks are trying to scare people from Bitcoin and other crypto's? http://bitcoin-bug.com/2017/12/05/chinas-central-bank-believes-bitcoin-will/

Who would have thought that I had £20,000 to invest when Bitcoin was only $0.60c each coin DAMN!!!

I could honestly kick myself, my gut told me to buy it but my image told me to put it towards a new car... Grrr...

Hey guys,

A bit of BTC speculation for you. Where do you see Bitcoin going by the end of 2018? http://bitcoin-bug.com/2017/11/28/bitcoin-easily-reach-40000-end-2018/

actually I just saw it on a documentary. they may be using anonymous bitcoin transactions, so they can make transactions for criminals freely. but for now, it may be tracked if there is no mixer inside.

My guess is that there's people out there trying to decipher some sort of code to try and track the criminals. However wouldn't they just be able to do this through their IP and active computer and device monitoring anyway?
I don't know how FBI works but remember on how did someone tracked silkroad and shuts it down. I watched a video related to it that the owner of that marketplace is also here in forum and the simple guy from the FBI did researched all of the things throughout the entire forum since bitcoin is the currency they used there. I'm not that much knowledgeable when it comes to these things, I just watched it.
That video that you are trying to say is a very great work by the FBI personnel because he just roam around and keep joining forums and doing a lot of research to finally find out who is behind the marketplace of silkroad until he find out the IP address and locate it and get the person behind silkroad and that is not the only time where bitcoin is being used in crimes because maybe for simple or small transactions, bitcoin is being used illegally.

I get that, what other crimes do you think they are being used for? Maybe offline personal transactions for deals etc etc??

Hello i have recently bought some bitcoin and litecoin and was wandering what wallet or method is the best to store it in. (From the UK if that helps)

Thanks.

Hey there, I'm from the UK too. I personally use Xapo and Cryptopay.

My website has an article on Cryptopay for you to read about the company - http://bitcoin-bug.com/2017/11/06/cryptopay-offers-customers-something-rare/

There's always the option of using a hard wallet if you want to keep them more secure. Just don't do what this guy did - http://bitcoin-bug.com/2017/11/29/1323/

Hope this helps.

Bitcoins has regained its strong value, As of this posting, the value per 1 bitcoin is exactly 4786.59 US Dollar.   Soon we will see more ways people can squeeze the most out of bitcoins.   Since the advent of the internet to be profit oriented in the 90's, no one would possibly have imagined that the Internet would breed Facebook, Google, Uber, online streaming, etc. This is where we are with the Blockchain now. There exists a whole world of opportunities out there.  

These opportunities have the unrighteous users of this cryptocurrencies to also used its advantage. We cannot deny for a fact that cyber crimes have been committed since the birth of the internet.  Once, stealing was done with having guns, now, robbers can easily hack bank accounts or counterfeit credit cards to their advantage.  Sooner, cryptocurrencies can be used to pay crimes such as services for creating counterfeit birth certificates and this is not far from happening.  Actually, the US has already cases on this matter.

Another is the crime of buying illegal-drug emporium that used Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, politicians and policymakers took notice. Criminals, it turns out, really like bitcoins, which can be exchanged for nefarious purposes on the "Dark Web," with complete anonymity and, it seems, impunity.

Although, there are some articles that i have read regarding criminals cannot hide behind bitcoins, still, there are difficulties tracing transactions using cryptocurrencies. That is why law enforcement agencies should have a to change their procedures to pursue criminals who make use of the latest technology to commit crimes. Let the law find a way to evolve to address new tech challenges. There is no reason to expect that law enforcement won’t be able to get a handle on this new cybercrime.

Wasn't Bitcoin originally used when people were going on the infamous Silk Road website? Usually accessed by a proxy browser?

Sorry I haven't read the majority of this thread and will eventually get round to it. Looking forward to meeting other bitcoin enthusiast from around the globe.

Craig.
