of course, we all see that all markets are red and there are some fears of getting down more and more in the following days. but on the other hand, no one can ignore that bitcoin is the leader of all the crypto market, so if it down the whole market will go down as well, so it is too hard to believe that it will die that easy
and the major investors of it will not allow this to happen.
what do you think, am I right?

The current "crash" is caused by one bad "news" after another. A lot of them are the false or twisted truth.

For example, today, once again "China Full ban crypto". What the... Why is it causing another crash?? Why is it even "news"?

It was already banned in China back in September 2017. All trading platforms suspended trading in September. Anyone from China who still trade Crypto must be using foreign platforms. Sure, they reported that China added all crypto exchange sites to Great FireWall. So what? These people have VPNs! When I was in China, everyone who visits foreign sites use VPNs. Yes, China banned VPN as well a long time ago. So what? Everyone is still using it. Just like ignoring the traffic light is illegal in China, but at every intersection, you will see people ignore the red lights... the truth! Just because it is "illegal", does not mean no one will do it.

So just this (one) news of China banned Crypto, it was repeatedly used to crash the Crypto market (4 or 5 times). Do not fall for it!
1. Summer 2017, China banned ICO.
2. September 2017, China banned crypto trading.
3. November or December? China became unfriendly to crypto mining (Large-scale miners moved oversea already)
4. January 2018. China banned websites of foreign crypto exchanges. (VPN!!!)
5. Today, "China Full Ban Crypto"... (Really?)

So what is next?
"China really ban crypto"?
"China really full ban crypto"?
"China really really full ban crypto"[​IMG]
"China will jail anyone who trades crypto"[​IMG]
"China will execute anyone who trades crypto"?
"China will nuke every country who trade crypto"[​IMG]??


Stop spreading this nonsense. What's done was already done in September 2017. Nothing has changed ever since. NOTHING really changed in the last 4~5 months.

Yellow journalism at its best.


Same goes for Korean and Indian news. South Korea did not really ban crypto. Just one guy wanted to ban it. It was not approved, nor implemented. So far they have only added regulations that people can no longer trade anonymously. So what? Didn't Coinbase, Kraken, Bittrex etc. US-based platforms all require our IDs and photos?

India also did not ban crypto. Just a minister made some unfriendly speech toward crypto. No real "ban" whatsoever.

From the look of it, someone or some groups are trying hard to make the prices go down. The sad thing is, people are falling for it. The same China "news" was used on 5 occasions to cause the market crash while nothing was really changed or happened. Korean news was used on at least 2 occasions.

The bottom line is, let's just ignore all the stupid "news". Use our brains. Not hearsay from yellow journalism. It is getting annoying to have every little "news" to impact the market price.

We can not deny the big country with good economy, it will make the society economy better too.
So they can follow the economic development and participate in transactions and investments in Bitcoin era.
How the people of small countries can participate in participation and benefit from it?
It would be very difficult to calculate the statistics of users of each country, but the comparison of Bitcoin ATM growth from this early 2017 report can be the initial reference of the statistics.
Perhaps by the end of this year, there will be more Bitcoin ATM growth across the board due to the growing interest in bitcoin this year.

Gold in general is no better. The value of gold is nothing more than a result of a global consensus - at the moment everyone agrees to consider gold a measure of value, simply because this measure is in some form or another necessary. If we assume a utopian situation, that tomorrow everyone agrees that gold is not such a measure, then it will be good only for the production of quality wires and trinkets.
The btc is gaining momentum for exactly the same reason - the global consensus towards the btc is constantly being strengthened. In this case, unlike gold, the cue-ball is not only a measure of value, but also a settlement system, and gold is not a competitor for this parameter

"Cryptocurrency career opportunities are going up as the markets are falling downwards. Why? It's good to negotiate for jobs or if you're a jobs employer, you can negotiate for better expense deals as most websites/influencers/services have dropped values and prices. It's a good time to get into crypto (not necessarily investing money into it) if you were thinking about it last year."

So I've been researching and reading in some groups on the internet and I was looking at the BTC charts, it seems a little to convenient that once the btc CME futures market opened on dec. 17th BTC has been falling and falling hard with no end in sight. Does anyone have an idea why this happened and how these people seemed to have caused the price of BTC and the whole crypto market to crash like this?

50 day average on BTC is approaching the 200 day moving average

This is known as a Death Cross spooks the heck out of traders, I'm thinking that it maybe it will be pivotal point for BTC and as DO is correlating with BTC currently it could be a spike down, opportunity to buy more at bargain basement prices

From this month, SUDPS will only accept bitcoin payment fines. In order to incorporate this new technology into campus law enforcement, in the future, Bitcoin will become the only effective payment method if someone has a traffic violation and needs to pay a fine. At present, the fines issued by the Stanford University Public Security Department are paid by cheques. However, due to the current high transaction costs, some additional costs will be incurred after paying the penalty.

Bill Larson, a spokesman for Stanford University’s public security department, said that they had never done this before. But now in 2018, it is time for Stanford's public security forces and student groups to meet the digital age. Charles Lu, a member of the Bitcoin Club at Stanford University, welcomed the change.

Charles Lu said: "This policy is beneficial to Bitcoin. Stanford University is at the forefront of technological advancement, so the message we are passing here is that whether you like it or not, the blockchain really is the trend of the future."

Some people think that Bitcoin's volatility is too great, making transactions difficult.

In this regard, Charles Lu said: "I believe that the value of Bitcoin will be stabilized because people begin accepting Bitcoin as a trading method. If we do not act now to make Bitcoin a mainstream currency, then we Some people will have to be explained," Larson said. He believes those who break the law will be punished.

Larson said that although students will be punished for violations, they also become more aware of the use of bitcoin to trade in such a form. FX678 reported that digital cryptocurrencies may be the development trend of the future currency. Therefore, more and more companies and institutions are beginning to accept cryptocurrency payments. Although people are more likely to accept Bitcoin as a payment method, Larson said he hopes people will accept other digital currencies such as dog coins as a payment method.

As I heard a lot of prediction about bitcoin that it is going to $ 1mn till end of 2020 and people will see it soon. As a holder of bitcoin I am always worried that bitcoin may not go down as I am much money in it. I mostly think that I should sell my bitcoin now and make my money but also fears to post the train of bitcoin. So what are you people suggestions that will bitcoin will always continue to grow or will it stablize at some price or may go down?
 

Hey guyz
I am complete noob in crypto. I need to know what is a blockchain? How to use it and what if it goes offline? What affects it will occur on bitcoin.

I have tried understanding it but it looks very complex There may be a simpler way to understand it guys

Thanks for the help

Goldmoney, which provides services for the sale and storage of gold, now sells more bitcoins than precious metal.
Goldmoney is providing the crypto currency with precious metals and an electronic payment system with BitGold crypto currency (not related to Bitcoin Gold) traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. It has almost $ 2 billion of assets located in more than 150 countries.
"The daily sale of bitcoins per day increased and exceeded the sale of precious metals. We see almost half a million dollars on the day of pure accumulation of crypto-currency, "- wrote the company's founder, Roy Sebag (Roy Sebag) in his Twitter.
"There is no doubt that this is a bubble - I made a lot of money on bubbles. I invested in bitcoin when it cost 6 dollars, and in the spring, when its price began to rise. The fact is that it is impossible to understand how good it will be, "Sebag said.

Personally, I think that this is one more of our common victory of the world, crypto currency over ordinary money and large financiers who are trying to control us. Having read this news, I can now confidently say that bitcoin has bypassed the level of public confidence in gold and this is another common victory for our friends.

I tried to understand the essence and benefits of futures trading BTC
Futures on bitcoin will be traded next week. People who for the last few years constantly trying to convince everyone around that bitcoin is a bubble, must be happy: now they can finally move from words to deeds and begin shorting. But are they right?

Future (futures contract) — a derivative financial instrument, the standard urgent exchange contract of purchase and sale of the underlying asset at the conclusion of which the parties (seller and buyer) agree only on the price level and delivery time.

Craig Pirrong, Professor of business at the University of Houston says:

"Futures largely simplify the game to decrease than to increase, so that the majority of them, apparently, will benefit the bears. Therefore, the appearance of such a tool can reduce the cost of bitcoin".

How is shorting, I have studied the example on the stock market.
EXAMPLE. The investor can borrow paper, say 1 BTC, mind you, he takes not the money. The point is that he took 1 BTC for 16,000 thousand dollars. Sold it for 20,000 Then periscopes for 16 again. Gave ficers 1 BTC back but he got a profit of 4 thousand dollars (0.25 btc). So it will work

However, the futures will simplify the game to increase. The process of acquisition and storage of bitcoins is extremely unpleasant for many investors: you either have to worry about the fact that they are not stolen, or stored on paper, making them difficult to use as trading assets.

A substantial simplification of the process will increase the number of people wishing to open short positions, but those who play on the rise, so much so that their number will grow much faster.

Lou Kerner, partner Flight VC, a venture Fund investing in cryptocurrency. "we believe that from the point of view of fundamental non-market factors-such asset is quite reliable, but they tend to sell out".

Investors with big money still do not really believe in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. All now wait for the futures I thought of what awaits us after this still greater growth. But now I'm not sure. I think now all that is left us is to wait and see how the market will behave.

I hope the article was useful

I know there are people get their profit now, they bought their bitcoin on very cheap price and as the bitcoin's price go high there are many dumping their bitcoins. However new investors of bitcoin or should I say newbie on cryptocurrency are panic selling their bitcoin in the mere fact that they bought on ATH all time high price, I love to see that they learn and this is how we welcome all the newbies. Welcome to the cryptocurrency!!! Always learn from the mistake, that's the best strength we can get after losing, that's where we all started.

We have been waiting a long time for this, everyone is curious to what exactly is going to happen. How much are we going down, where will we find support. What will be the outcome of this.

My 2 questions to you guys is:
- Do you have any tactic going into the crash, we might get one once the future trading starts.

For example: Going into 1 or 2 altcoins that might be good hedges against the BTC.

Last question:
- What will happen to alts?

For example: When BTC was skyrocketing towards $19k most alts were red, what do you think will happen to alts if the opposite happens? Will we see some green or red only?

Now I feel worried about the future of bitcoin and crypto in general because every time there was a price correction I saw most people are not worried about the price and they all had the same opinion about it, they all said to wait and hold your coins or buy new more, but now I see that there are different opinions about it, that makes me really afraid of what happens now.

is it serious guys that it is over or what?

“I don’t think this is a good thing. The Governments ability to find money laundering and tax evasion and terrorist funding is a good thing. Right now crypto currencies are used for buying fentanyl and other drugs,” he typed, “so it is a rare technology that has caused deaths in a fairly direct way.”

It's very sad that the man who is the alleged pioneer in IT technologies denies the value of something with the potential to positively change the world! Is it possible that he feels threatened?

The latest news is that the US government is look closely at Bitcoin. A number of governments such as Russia and China are also planning to issue their own digital currencies. They clearly see a financial threat from Bitcoin.

What do you think? Can governments kill Bitcoin and replace it with their own digital/crypto currency?

"Cryptocurrency market could hit $1 trillion this year with bitcoin surging to $50,000, experts say"
Hopefully, it will come true!!!
