Hello everyone,

just a little question as I would be interested what you guys use. What are you favourite websites to follow news related to the cryptocurrencies and it's market? Please no bad blogs or sites that are spreading fake news.

I'm mostly reading at btc-echo (german site), cointelegraph and coindesk.

Greetz.

As we can see, IOTA is going up crazy atm while I'm still waiting for my Bitfinex verification it was going up for around 300% which annoys me a lot. Now I'm not sure anymore whether it's the right time to invest as there might be a correction coming soon after such a big rise in the last month.

What do you guys think?

First of all, I'm not talking about the coin itself. I just heard a lot of people saying that the people behind BHC or big Investors using shady methods to get their profits. Of Course it had a big rise in a short time which could be possibly also caused by a masseuphory as a lot of people where shocked, confused and didn't know what happens next with BTC after Segwit2x was cancelled. Or also all the investors who wanted to get into the B2X, bc of it's technology and then had to look for sth similar.

Really would love to know what reasons or facts could proof this.

What is happening to Bitcoin Cash at the moment?

It's already on 850$ and seems to be increasing more and more. Anyone knows the reason for that?

I think the title says it all.

After a long time of thinking, reading and also investing a bit into Bitcoin I have to say that it looks for me that the main use is actually just pure Investment. It always looks like that everyone just talks about how great the Technology is although they secretly want to get super rich with a always raising price. Of course it's used with several shopping or daily things, but that's just such a small part of it.
During that, people who don't want to take the risk to invest call it a "Bubble" and people who don't want to lose their money just make kind of stupid speculations without any arguments.

In the end (just my opinion) the price of Bitcoin is controlled by all the media (that's hyping bitcoin and talking about it everywhere) and all the really big bitcoin whales with e.g. like 10000+ coins can actually effect the market the most. Imagine what a few people with a huge amount of bitcoins could work out together to control the market and making money.

It's just weird, because it turns this, what everyone calls it, great technology in the end just to a fully commercial object to earn money. Which would be probably also the reason why it stays and raises all the time, because it's normal that everyone wants to make a big amount of money with this little effort.

Let me know what you guys think and please don't give me this non argumented one liner like in all the other threads
