Do not count on it. Scam of the year! I am very sure this is someone who is really at loss after buying a lot of B2X futures and then looking for a way out. If I were you, I will rather stay away. Obviously these set of guys are just some different and random guys with nothing much to tell about them. The main B2X is long gone and what you are seeing now is a scam.

I honestly thought this drama was over, but I guess we are still in for another ride. However, who the F is Terlouw. This is not the main B2X that was supposed to happen right and these are just some set of guys who want to just go ahead with the fork anyway. At the end, this would be another crappy one. Every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to make free money. Rubbish!

I would have loved to have me some when it was still not that much though but one cannot say now how far doge is going to keep going and I would not want to end up buying at peak but I feel there is still a lot of chance for it to keep moving up. BTC has reduced in dominance for some days now, so I guess the alts are back and doing well. Time to start hitting on some good profits.

One probable reason for dogecoin's pump is Christmas ! So it is a gift and you can take it if you bought at the dip. That is Doge for you and it is one question I have always been asking myself about this one as it sometimes, despite the fact that everyone perceive it to be a joke coin, it still pumps anyway and the good thing about it is that it comes with an extremely massive profit.

I really hope he does and I truly hope he is able to convince a lot of people with his intentions, but all the same, it is a good project, it is receiving some attention and I am sure there may be some pretty good prospect for it in the long run.

However, I still so much believe this is how a larger chunk of the community is going to see this anyway until maybe they see some other moves maybe.

That is really some huge conflict of interest and as much as that calls for questioning, it is his life and he can decide to do whatever he likes, but I would be concerned holding LTC though because if the owner decides that he is cool with the profit and decides to cash out, does that mean something ? Probably I am just trying to overthink things anyway, but that sounds more like abandoning your own project to me.

I am not sure what you are really referring to with your post, but everything you have mentioned there, is there no cryptocurrency doing that already ?

With any crypto in the market right now, you can trade them, you can earn from them as their value increases most especially when you hold for a long time, you can have control over them if you put them in a decentralized wallet and have their private keys and you can earn from owning them, I even remember COSS giving out shares of the trading platform fees to whoever owns the token. So, tell me what you are really bringing to the table that is different. Investment fund ? Is that it ? Let's see how it goes.

Who told you the market never reacted to it. Maybe you should scroll back a little bit on the chart to see the fork period and the period on the chart within this time to know what really happened. However, this is a coin with some active developers and the fact that a coin has not been able to gain some ground does not mean it won't still thrive later on. It is not an easy way to the top in the crypto world for most of the coins.

Look at the charts very well and you will see for yourself whether it is a pump and dump coin or not. Have you seen the charts of a pumped and dumped coin before? I guess not, because if you have, then you will totally have known the difference by now. Every coin is volatile and if you miss in on a train when a coin was increasing in value and now it is lower, then you should have yourself to blame for not knowing how to trade.

Pretty much the best thing to do right now. Bitcoin has seen some days quite alright but as long as we are not trading or whatsoever, there is really no need to be looking for value ideas as no one really can know and as long as we are holding for the long term, there is no need trying to imagine what the value would be when what will eventually happen will still happen anyway.

We can keep predicting whatever we want to predict but that will not change a thing. We all predicted $15k before the end of December and right now bitcoin is getting a lot of support at that region and no one can absolutely know what would even happen next, so what is good is just to keep our fingers crossed and watch how all the whole drama will end up unfolding.

It seems there is just some pretty huge attack on bitcoin and some merchants are really trying their best to see that the bitcoin core does not end up having much of a say while pushing bitcoin cash up.

I am really trying to see where this is headed anyway and now that coinbase has made btc transaction extremely expensive which it is not really their fault as the devs have been so slow, then now listing bitcoin cash, while some punks decided to dump their bitcoin for bitcoin cash, really speaks some volume.

After running a huge marathon race, you will definitely need some time to relax, take in a fresh air, drink some water possibly before starting again. That is exactly what bitcoin is experiencing right now. The truth is that we have all been waiting for huge correction to really show how healthy the market is but we have not been getting that, I guess now is the time that we have all waited for.

I really would not classify that as an attack and by attack, I am sure the OP could have been referring to the attack on Youbit exchange which has caused lot of money stolen. However, this could have fueled the whole thing a little bit but I am sure it is not something that happened that was not really expected as a huge correction was imminent anyway.

Attack by whom? This that is happening is a normal thing that was expected anyway and it is one of those things one should understand when in this world. That was a pretty huge correction and the market really needs it, so for now, we just have to see where we are headed next or probably we will keep seeing some of this again but this is not the first time that bitcoin would be under attack by the wiles of the so called media.

The truth is that anyone can make predictions now, but no one really knows what could happen. Definitely there could be some retracement to the down trend as the market is overbought right now, but sometimes, it is better at least to take part of the funds to buy small, and then wait for those dip to buy more. In the long term, you will still not lose at the end if you are patient enough to wait.

Anyhow, I just wonder why $6k ? Some have been saying it right from $3k and I am sure if they did not buy they must have themselves to blame now. I am not still surprised as some of them may still be the part of the people waiting for the huge drop now so that they can buy more.

The truth is no one can know, and even if the drop comes, I always see it as an opportunity to hit more into my wallet, but no point waiting when you know you may regret it later on, at least just buy small instead.

Really, considering that the OP mentioned trading, it is really something daring. However, there is no point daring yourself when you do not have enough knowledge to always pull off a good trade. You will end up losing and failing woefully anyway and if you do not have the time to learn, then it is better to hold.

To the holding aspect and regarding the security you have mentioned, I am glad it is a good thing that you know how important the security of your asset is and i will advise you go for a cold storage like Ledger Nano instead if you are planning to hold for a long term. It comes with a little price, but considering the security of your funds, it is worth it.

It was not really the increased fee that has really caused the present huge one; this is just as a result of the network traffic. If you check blockchain now, you will see the number of unconfirmed transactions and that is really crazy knowing you have to pay a lot so as not to get your transaction bounced. This is something one should always consider, and it is becoming a norm now until we get hope with the scaling problem.

We just have to get use to the fact that the network can be congested sometimes due to the number of transaction going on all at once. It does not happen every day but we all know the level at which transactions are being done these days in the bitcoin network.

Yes, it can be painful, but it seems like one of the price we may have to pay now as early adopters until the whole scaling issue get fixed.

I still have some feelings, some quite few of them may have some little bit of downward trend, but it would be very nice to hold even if those trends surface. Right now, we are seeing so many investors trying to take a piece of some of the Alt action since they have missed out on the BTC run and with this the price may just keep going up even by next year.

I see NEM performing some marathon race come 2018 and this would be another great moment for another alt with great prospect.

Once most of the news that are long awaited are dropped, then we will see a lot of investors trying to hold a piece of it and that is where it would get interesting for some of us who have been holding for a while now. It is really going to be an interesting new year anyway.

It is normal to always prepare for a big dump after some huge pumps like this. I will not say it is healthy for now for most of the alts anyway as this just seems more of a market that is being driven up and I have the feelings some people are doing this to get some profit from the market. Altcoin support is still a bit not too solid compared to bitcoin, so it is best to get ready.

It is just the way we have seen it and in as much as we are seeing the bulls taking over does not mean a time will come when the bears will be having a filled day as well. It is a good thing though seeing most of these markets testing the tops and then the rapid growth within a short while. It is normal to be worried and I am worried too, but as long as we stay safe, we should be fine.

Yeah, a lot of coins are coming out each day with great and huge potentials in the market and even some right now are still there and not gaining much recognition yet, but they have a solid product that can drive them top notch in coming weeks, months, years or anytime.

It is a huge market and ICOs can be a good way but I would rather stay with a coin already in the market that does not have much value. I bought some COSS recently after reading about the project, and trust me that is one coin that is going to be big among other ones, I can't start mentioning.

How would you say it does not serve that purpose anymore? I can see you are on Yobit signature campaign, so if it is not serving the purpose of a payment means, how do you get paid by wearing the Yobit signature ?

We may not be experiencing the best usage of bitcoin now for micro transaction, but at least we know that work is being done towards it. Bitcoin is a part of the global market, but the level of contribution may not be felt hugely now until we start seeing some high level of mass adoption.

2028 is still a very long time from here and the last time that I checked, no one can really predict the future and there is no way on earth to know what will even happen in the next few seconds. However, bitcoin is totally in a world of its own right now and depending on the level of usage, I really do not see how this can really have much effect on the world economy by then.

If government wanted preventing the development, they would have done that a long time ago. You think they have no idea what is going on? It is just pretty simple that the more bitcoin is getting lashed by the government and the media, the more it just keeps soaring, so maybe they have thought it best to just keep their mouths shut before they start exposing themselves the more.

No one will dispute that fact. Apparently, if fiat starts becoming useless and people start focusing more on the use of crypto, which should really have some effect on the monetary system. Nevertheless, unless the country is smart enough to look for some means of reviving it and maybe looking at integrating the blockchain system, then that would really be a crazy one.

Also, in totality, the drastic effect won't be that much at least for now pending when we really start seeing real life usage of bitcoin without having to convert to fiat and when higher percentage of the population have diverted to bitcoin.

1 & 2 can possibly happen. 3 & 4 though is something that one should not really expect that much but like you said no one knows.

However, the reason I am saying that is because for 3, it would really take a whole lot of huge crazy negative news that would get bitcoin dragging down at this stage after all the news that the government and media have created just to cause some crazy shits, but the value just keeps rising. Also, for 4, that would be the last of their kind and I am sure they already know that.

Okay! We have heard a lot of this already and if you feel it won't end well for you, then that is your call, but trying to bring some negative vibes every time is just not working.

If the market dips tomorrow, only those who are dumb enough to fall for it will, while those who are smart enough will see it as a better stage to even be getting more of the coin. For now, let us just keep living by the minute instead of hoping for things not to end well.

End of 2017 is what no one can say now, but I am really opened for any surprise even though it seems impossible at the moment, but with bitcoin, it looks like a lot of things could be possible. This year, we have seen some pretty huge move to the upward trend and no one could have thought it could get this better, but here we are. However, I am looking forward to ATH of $22000 by the end of the year.

Yes, but I would not want to be too comfortable on that as well though. It will sure affect the stability of the prices but looking at some of the predictions they have had so far, I am sure bitcoin has really beaten the imagination. However, it is a start; we cannot really say much for now until after we keep rolling for years to see the dramas that would unfold within these periods.

I am not sure there would be any destroyed desire to purchase bitcoin just because they were left out. Futures is a totally different ball game and everything is more like gambling and predicting prices, but this is a world that cannot easily be manipulated which I am sure the goons in the wall street will really want to have their hands on but in the long run, I do not see anything negative much happening to bitcoin as a whole.
