We all know bitcoin has been moving between 17000 and 19000 and it's not showing any drastic move to a bull or bear but with such large increase in price, it's hard to imagine that the price has settled to this high.
Indicators are also giving mixed results. Daily buying and selling are around 50% each. Moving average are still indicating a rise.
A correction is imminent, but do you believe, there's still a bull run to come before the correction? Or would bitcoin not achieve it's ATH this time.

Stellar has made a deal with USDC, the coin issued by Circle/Coinbase. They would also be available on Stellar blockchain now. USDC has been exclusively on Ethereum and Algorand blockchain till date. It's considered to be one of the best fiat backed stable coin.
And with the news, the ever stagnant market of Stellar has jumped up 10% in last 24 hours.

A teacher has been brought to justice for encouraging iritdad in a madrasa near Paris.

I have 12 of my recent post deleted in last two days. That's more that the number of my post that were deleted in last one year.

I'm always in favor of reducing spams in the forum but with the last two days, I feel like I'm being targeted. Some of the mods may find some of those posts not adding value to the thread and it was fine if some of them were deleted but in my case someone is just tracking me and deleting almost all of my post which (in my perception) are adding value to the thread.

It makes me feel like my voice is being silenced in this forum. I guess mods and probably DT members can view my deleted post history and if someone's interested, I can share them the screenshot of my deleted post.

Again I'm not claiming that those were my best post, but targeting a user for two consecutive days and deleting almost all of his post is not what I expect from a mod of the bitcointalk.org forum. The standards should be applied to all users and not just on someone whom a mod picks randomly.

My friend have a good amount of DAD token in his NEO wallet, according to him it had the same icon as the DAD token being traded on some popular exchanges. The problem is the DAD token that's been trading is a ERC20 token. As I looked for the DAD token, it has something to do with the neo Blockchain but am not quite sure if they swapped the token or the token exists on both the platform or even the DAD tokens my friend been holding is worth anything?
If anybody have a faint idea about it, please advice, it's me who had introduced him to the crypto world and he expects me to have an answer.

Just defi which was been advertised a lot by both the tron team and wallets like tronlink and block explorer like tronscan supposedly is not giving users their withdrawal. It was hyped a lot among tron community and even I was considering an investment. This is another big blow for my interest in tron ecosystem as most of the projects they come up with ends up a scam.

Bitcoin was trading around upper 11K for most parts in last 3 months with occasionally over 12K and it suddenly plunged below 10K, now it's recovering and climbing upwards. Is it a right time to bag all the coins you can or is the market going to drop again before reaching another 12K for bitcoin? People that sold in 12K and bought it again at below 10K already are making good profit at this time. It's really difficult to decide when to sell and when to buy.

Bitcoin is steadily increasing over time, quietly reaching 11.8K today, highest price for last two years. Ethereum's rise is much sudden and higher against BTC, it's traded at upto $430+ today, it's highest for last two years. Where do you see the market heading? would there still be bullish ride or there ought to be an immediate correction?

I seem to have been infected by a malware that try to access dontbeevils(dot)de. I get constant notifications from my antivirus that dontbeevils(dot)de is blocked from accessing the internet. I don't know how I got infected as I'm very careful about what I browse and download. I accessed the site dontbeevils(dot)de on sandobx and found it sells bitcoin and crypto related domains and is from crypto-webminer.com. The problem is I and my antivirus can't get rid of it. It's active even when there's no app or browser open.

Visa one of the largest financial service providers in the world with its global debit and credit cards has filed a patent for ‘Digital Fiat Currency’ which is going to be a digital currency on a centralized computer using blockchain technology.

The recent spike in price of bitcoin has been linked to Paul Tudor Jones, a long time hedge fund manager and investor as he opened up with CNBC that almost 2% of his over 5 billion asset is infact in bitcoins. He also stated that he would keep on buying bitcoin as he compared it to gold trade in 70s.

Wouldn't it be much easier and attractive if there were gambling sites that dealt with stablecoins? Stablecoins could be easily exchanged with both fiat and crypto and are generally faster and cheaper for transaction.
I always dream about bustabit and crypto.games accepting stable coins like DAI and USDT. What makes them not look at this potential?

I knew there were some gambling dapps but I didn't knew there were advanced graphic games that can be played directly from your wallet.
One of the cool one I found in wink.org. They have all sorts of games and chats and the interface is not boring at all.
The only downside is I don't like tron as a currency much and would prefer other tokens to tron like Ethereum but should have a large volume of people and bets. Which is the most successful gambling dapp that you know of?

Bitcoin gold is probably the first popular bitcoin fork that is halving the earliest. Bitcoin original and every of it's fork are halving for the third time and that's happening this year. This halving would give us some insight on what to expect on halving of BSV, BCH and BTC later. Though the hash involved in BTG are negligible compared to rest three. https://bitcoingold.org/halving/

Edit: As Febo mentioned, BCH and BSV has already been halved and BTG also has halved while I edit this.

Everyone is telling that bitcoin is going to 3K. Every news and notifications points that the trend is going towards 3K.
Bitmex CEO is twitting he believes bitcoin could go even as low as 2100, so would it be better to sell my bitcoin now and buy for 50% cheaper?
Seems like everybody are trying their best to decrease the price, it might be better to move with the herd?

Grid trading got my attention and I looked for some cheap and easy bots to do that but didn't find any solution without problems. Can anyone recommend me a good grid trading bot that's simple to use for a beginner?

All I know about grid trading is you create a counter buy order for every sell order. Can we do it manually? Can anyone point me to how it can be done. I don't have great knowledge about APIs but I can automate things. Any experience about grid trading are welcome.

There are details coming out from the Ethereum 2.0

• To need to be a POS validator, one should hold at least 32 Ether.
• The validator's income would be between 4.6 to 10.3% per annum.

The reward seems to be Okayish due to nature of Ethereum but the large issue is still the scalability of the coin and we hope the new update would easily solve that problem for today and the future.
