-snip- I'd say those are two weak arguments because they are purely speculation without evidence. On the other hand, i have two counter-arguments that are all for bitcoin rising in value again. 1. Bitcoin is ever-improving. Scalability is being addressed, mass adoption rates are growing, and people are becoming more aware of avoiding scams. 2. Cryptocurrencies add value to services. They cut out the middleman and offer a solution for the efficient transfer of value. Have you considered that maybe that is why "everyone" (your words) is expecting BTC to break records and get to new crazy highs?  No, those arguments are not just "speculation," at least not the first one about manipulation to get to the 20K level. Just Google the Tether/Bitfinex story and go the paper put out by the professor in Texas. Not his first paper about financial markets and manipulation, and qualified peers take his work seriously. I don't think Bitcoin hits 20K this year. I don't think it will hit "crazy new highs" this year either. And if I am right about that, it puts a damper on most every other alt-coin as well. John M. Griffin University of Texas at Austin - Department of Finance Amin Shams University of Texas at Austin - Department of Finance Date Written: June 13, 2018 Abstract This paper investigates whether Tether, a digital currency pegged to U.S. dollars, influences Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency prices during the recent boom. Using algorithms to analyze the blockchain data, we find that purchases with Tether are timed following market downturns and result in sizable increases in Bitcoin prices. Less than 1% of hours with such heavy Tether transactions are associated with 50% of the meteoric rise in Bitcoin and 64% of other top cryptocurrencies. The flow clusters below round prices, induces asymmetric auto-correlations in Bitcoin, and suggests incomplete Tether backing before month-ends. These patterns cannot be explained by investor demand proxies but are most consistent with the supply-based hypothesis where Tether is used to provide price support and manipulate cryptocurrency prices. Found a direct link to the article you mentioned: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3195066Didn't realize there were actually academic articles analyzing bitcoin trading. That being said, I don't know how to feel about this. It seems like a giant FUD attempt that doesn't take into consideration the potential of crypto currencies to really change the world. Thats no fud thats the truth,similar situation is happening now because of low volume-few people open short/long position with x50 leverage on bitmex with for example 500 btc,then that same group of people buy/sell 1-3k btc on bitfinex for example pushing the price up/down where they need it to go(ussualy arround 200-300$ in one dirrection)Even as they are losing money trading on bitfinex x50 leverage on bittmex is making them more $ then they are spending.You can check all of this on charts where you can see 1-3k btc orders are filled in seconds without any reason even when TA is signaling otherwise |

No one was mining BTCZ after the fork? Difficulty was really low and price is moving upwards. Team red is still out after the algo change
I am mining that other 144,5 coin that also forked and gives solid profit per card in this dark times ;DTeam red is already in play but its private miner that its being sold only to large farms(dont know the price really) |

Since we are in bear market period now there are only 2 ways to earn money as i see it,first way is to short coins with marging trading on exchanges like bitffinex where you can earn $ as that coin keeps going down.Other way is to invest in small cap shitcoins with potential to growth because those coins dont really care about btc price and can be pumped over night with relative small amount of money

30$ support line should be interesting to watch since it was previous resistance for neo and if we just run thru it without any problems i would say that neo is in trouble :(At least we can still colect gas money from holding it and buy more neo

The main themes of the Ico projects in 2018 will be: In addition to Blockchain infrastructure developments, payments and speculative trading, many new underground projects are being developed, such as notary service, real estate investment, loyalty program, supply chain management, intellectual property rights management. Ico token investment is the greatest gain.

Polako bre sta ste osetljivi toliko ne sme niko nista da komentarise svi se odmah ljute nesto.Svako ima svoje misljenje ono sto je meni shitcoin drugima nije ali ako se ljutite cim vam neko nesto pregovori onda internet nije za vas  |

Its just going back on its regular support line(back to 40k sats)where it will stay in preparation for next bull run or when China decide to unban icos and neo starts exploding Untill then just keep it in your wallet and collect gas $ |
|
|
|
|
If i would have to guess i would say that it will fall at least untill the end of the year and probably few months in next year.Have in mind that we had serrious bull run that was result of tether manipulation and that a lot of people got burned buying btc at 15-20k$ price so trust in crypto wont come back any time soon

That isnt smart to do at all because you are chasing highes and you will never be abble to sell/see where is that top and most cases you will be left bagg holding overpriced shitcoin that never again may reach that same price
|
|
|

Well it was about time for that to happen i guess that coinbase realised how bright is the future for ethereum classic On the other hand listing wont come anytime soon,at least for few months so this news doesnt really change anything short term |

Welcome back EWFB glad to see you working again,your miner was most stable one for me on equihash so far Anyone knows what kind of oc should we use(core/mem) for 144,5 and does it have any affect on mining speed to oc it at all? |
|
|
|
|
Honnestly i wouldnt buy it now because innosilicon will flood the market soon enough with their faster asics and destroy profits for z9,not to mention that most coins will fork and make your gear usseles.Its first batch of nothing with bitmain

Why not ask the girl behind you if you can borrow her hair dryer(preferably if it have switch for hot/cold air)so you dont have to bother actualy shoping anything?I use this system for all my rigs and its working nice so far,just hold gpu vents when you point air on them so they dont spin to fast
The airflow is way too weak to remove the dusts from confined spaces and corners. Compressed air is the best choice, but for a practical solution, yes Hair dryer on cold setting will do the job. But any of these can't remove the stuck dusts on the fan's surface, I'm using cotton swabs dipped in alcohol to clean them thoroughly. Well i personaly use tractor and its air compresor with an air hose that have special piston gun on the end(similar to pistons that are being used for painting)and can clean pretty much everything with it but then again its not really practical for everyone |

Hello Guys
I have got 8 Zotac 1080 TI AMP Extreme
What do you think will be the most profitable coin to mine with those GPUs at the moment
Unfortunately i learned that there are so many small cap coins which are not listen on whattomine which are way more profitable
Your advise will be highly appreciated
Thanks!
Your best chance for high profits are shitcoin at this moment but no one can really tell you wich one will be profitable its up to you to do your own research.For example shitcoin with high chances for succes is raven but dont expect it to roi your cards in 3 months on it |

Vlasnik stranac, milioner... I prvo za sta se zakacio je airdrop. Iskreno meni to bas cudno, da ne kazem sumnjivo. Takodje KYC, mislim da ne vredi bas svakom slati svoje podatke zbog par dolara. Skoro svi airdropovi sada traze da se odradi kyc(neki pravna zavrzlama je u pitanju zaboravio sam tacno sta)Sta znas mozda te usere i neko otvori par firmi na tvoje ime nakon sto ti ukrade licnu kartu i ti postanes milioner preko noci  |

Its not like any other ico listing site isnt doing the same,you really think that any of them aint getting paid to shill some ico?Others pay some popular youtubers for shilling others use bounty campaigns to spread the word,its all part of marketing and if you trust some random website rating and fall for it its your own fault  |

My biggest mistake so far is selling about 500k mined xvg at 50-55 sats few hours before McAfee pump,and yes it really were 2-3 hours before the pump  Yeah i get it that i wouldnt sell it at the top but still looking at it now it was a massive mistake and still dont know why i sold it because didnt really needed the money....Cant get all right,win some lose some |
