What happened:: I made a post on here requesting to buy giftcards. Exhibit A: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2134247.msg21331752#msg21331752 and I got no replies but tons of Skype requests. So I sifted through who I thought was legit and who I thought wasn't. I check the trust levels for some folks and decided to go with arcusgoldsales [skype name] Not sure of username unfortunately.
He has an account on sythe (link in reference link). I sent him $80 worth of BTC because that's all he would accept. He says he hasn't received it and I show that not only did he receive it, he forwarded to another account. Coinbase did take a while, but I feel like he used that as a way to say he never received it.Scammers Profile Link: Reference Link: https://www.sythe.org/threads/1537393/100-000-orders-delivered-www-arcusgold-com-use-sythe6-coupon-code-for-6-off/ Amount Scammed: $80 Payment Method: Bitcoin thru coinbase Proof of Payment: http://imgur.com/yJZRzS2 PM/Chat Logs: http://imgur.com/a/NYuss Additional Notes: I would like my BTC back. But I'm sure I won't get them. I just hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. Even though they may have a ton of vouches and trust, they are still capable of scamming you. Thanks for laying out this in the correct format. You asking people to add you on Skype for communication is just begging for scammers to knock on your door. And as you said, you did not even ask for what their username on bitcointalk is. Sythe has nothing to do with bitcoin trades, because PayPal is a reversible payment method and there are a lot of people dealing with reversible payments on scythe. Take this as a lesson so that you do not make the same mistake twice. Firstly, keep all communication on forum. Secondly, only deal with a legit escrow. BTW, screenshots are not valid proof of payments. It's much better if you can give us a TXID. |

How much do you think a single Bitcoin will be worth when we celebrate the New Year?
I am estimating that it will be around 8k (no evidence just a gut feeling), i think it will fluctuate and go higher but will stablise at 8.
8k would definitely be possible, if this craze for bitcoins and cryptocurrencies in general continues. However, i do have a feeling that the price may just correct before the new year comes. The current bull wave has continued on for around 10 months consecutively now, and i don't think that it's going to sustain much longer. It could, but it's unlikely imo. Reason why i think this is because of the fact that we are seeing pretty strong resistance at the $5k level. If we don't break that $5k mark soon, we may see growth slow down quite a lot or even go into the negatives. |

As Bitcoin have already surpassed $4500 today. $5000-$5500 is very much possible in September. There is increased investor's interest. Price will keep on shooting and touching new ATH. Demand is increasing with fast rate.
It really is extremely hard to predict the outcome of these things in such volatile conditions. Right now we are most likely in the mid to late term of the bubble. There is definitely increased investor interest, but it does not stem from anything substantive. It is only because they want to make more profit and therefore they invest in btc without even knowing what it is. $5000-5500 is possible, and i would argue even likely looking at this stage. But you gotta ask yourself is this sort of price sustainable? I don't think it is, honestly. BTC could go to $6k for all i know, but you have to spread out your risk so that the dump doesn't catch you unprepared. And as someone else said, it'll come down to the NY agreement, and how it goes. |

Tried to reach the site but it gave me this Russian phrase Не доступно на территории вашей страны Got that into google translate and it translated to "not available in your country". Could you please list the excluded countries that you don't service in your OP so that it is clear to people whether they can use your service or not? Honestly, the low deposits and withdrawals for fiat looks very very good and i would love to have used your exchange, but unfortunately i'm assuming due to regulatory concerns, i cannot. |

I have send a deposit to my wirexapp.com account after i have send them an email that it's unlogic to pay again around 3$ to load my card and this is a scam they blocked my account.
I am unable to recover it since no e-mail arrives so i have no screenshot to add excepting the TXID of the deposit!
I would suggest following the format of a scam accusation here, attaching valid proof as well. Can you tell me what exactly happened to your account? Didi it get suspended just for asking why you were charged such high fees or did you do something else that may have made the customer support make this decision? Wirex is known to have notoriously high fees and i wouldn't use them. Complain on their thread on the forum, their bitcointalk account seems fairly active: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1392468 |

I get the impression that bitcoin is becoming more resilient the older it gets. It has fought off a handful of crashes with the MSM then writting it off everytime to then see it come back stronger. Bitcoin has had a hell of a year in 2017 and seen highs I never imagined would happen. Right now I am sat here with my new funds for a 2nd sizable batch of bitcoin to add to my wallet.
It has been weeks now and not all that much has been happening, I was expecting a bit of a fall in price after so much of a gain. I cannot help thinking that there are quite a few people right now thinking the same, many are wanting to jump in. Looks like I am not going to get my fall, which is OK, but looks like I might have to buy in again when prices rise say 5% to 8% in the next few weeks.
I have told myself that whatever gains I make in the next year I will match it with money I have elsewhere to the point of Bitcoin being 20% of my investments, no more. Rule of thumb for me past decade has been risky investments no more that 15%, and that's high for me.
Extremely good idea for you to diversify your investments into other fields than just bitcoin. Bitcoin is a great long term investment but don't expect it to go up much more. In september i think we are going to see lots of sideways movements, potentially the price will be down by a couple of hundred bucks after another pump. Not sure when the major adjustment that everyone is talking about is going to come but imo it is going to come sooner or later. Matter of time, really. Just don't invest anything more than you can afford to lose, this is same with everything. |

Hey, i was wondering whether we can buy any less than 1 share? So basically can shares be diveded into fractions and then resold? I know that right now shares are trading at a low price, but it'll still be nice if we are able to buy little by little instead of having a $1+ minimum.
Also, do you guys release any sort of information on what kind of ICOs you invest in?
It seems like that you guys just group it into much bigger categories instead of actually telling us what you are investing in. That way how can we be sure that you are actually doing what you claim you are doing?

Nice little list, just found it and it's really nice to be able to compare these things at a glance. Honestly right now if you can trade on a site with lower fees then you can save much more than a even a .1% difference in the actual trading fee, especially if you are a low volume trader that wants to withdraw btc whenever possible.
I would just like to add to the list liqui.io. From memory their withdrawal fees for bitcoin is 0.0015 BTC(on the high side). I'm not sure if they have changed it now or not but pretty sure it's at that level.
If some other liqui user can confirm it would be great. you can't view the fees for withdrawal without having a balance, apparently.

i think its too soon to reach $500,000 in 2020 because we know bitcoin price is too volatile especially for now we have bch that trying to increase like bitcoin. we need to break much higher price before we can reach that price and its need more time before we can go to that price. but i am sure that many people including me that agree if bitcoin price will reach that price.
Exactly. He isn't even considering how hard it is for us to move up by $1000, and he's already thinking about $500k. I mean it's good to talk about the long term but 2020(3 years time) isn't exactly long term. I hate to say it but, i don't think that this is likely to happen at all. The price has risen a lot and in between halvings there is usually reduced economic activity within the bitcoin ecosystem. $500k per bitcoin would be a whopping 8 trillion dollar market cap. Something that i think we'll achieve in a few decades time when btc goes mainstream but definitely not now. I think that we'll all be entertained by him giving himself a nice BJ on national television, though. We'd all be entertained by that. |

I just sat down reasoning about everybody's decision to hold or keep their BTC, if the price of BTC reaches 50K today who is going to buy at that price? then there will be many sellers and few buyers, is the reasons for holding or keeping the BTC justifiable? please some convincing explanations.
Who is going to buy? People who think that bitcoin is going to go up further or who have pumped the price up. You have to understand how pricing works. This isn't a shop, this is a free market. You can't just set a price of 50k on bitcoin for no reason at all and expect people to be buying it. No. Bitcoin price is based on trades, and when there is a trade there is an agreement happening, it means that one party is willing to sell at 50k and the other is willing to buy. Otherwise, the price wouldn't be at $50k in the first place. Get it? If not, let me know what you get and i'll explain in more detail. |

Honestly if you are storing small amounts i wouldn't bother spending the time to set up your computer in a more secure way than it already is (of course get some sort of antivirus, enable firewall and regular updates of your OS, but nothing fancy).
Keeping your electrum safe is really not different to keeping anything else safe. Your wallet file is encrypted, so as long as you have a strong password hackers shuold have a minimal chance of getting in even if your wallet file was compromised.
The biggest thing is actually backing up the seed securely in an accessible place, imo. I've seen more people forget their seed on electrum and lost their coins than people who got their wallet hacked and coins taken out.

Nice app from what i can see on the appstore anyways. Do you guys have an android version for this(i use android myself), or is this an iOS only thing? IMO you really need to add some other features than just a live ticker and candlestick chart. Your premium feature is offered for free in apps such as blockfolio which also has a portfolio tracking service. I'm not saying that your app is bad; it's just some advice. Think of something creative that will make every trader's life much easier. Otherwise, good luck with your project. This should be moved to service discussion or project development, it does not belong in exchanges because it is not an exchange. |

Hi guys,
I was using coinizy, but they are not available now.
Can you please suggest a best vcc provider with low fees, maybe multiple deposit options.
Most importantly I am looking for a reliable provider.
I've been using wirex(previously e-coin) for a while now, and is generally satisfied with their service. However the only mode of deposit is bitcoin, so you do have to have some bitcoins to start off with. Also, the minimums are quite high and each action you do result in a pretty high blockchain fee, if you are transacting small amounts only then this is not for you. Have you tried the advcash debit card? Pretty sure it's anonymous, you can either choose virtual or physical and you can load it with bitcoin, advcash, payeer, anything really because you can convert almost anything into advcash. Use changer.com or search up the best rates on bestchange.com. If you can provide some more detailed requirements i can definitely assist you a bit more. |

i am really curious about what opinion from people out there when they know from january 2017 until august 2017, bitcoin price start rising to almost $44xx if i am not wrong (maybe the highest price i know). because i see in my city, people don't care about this and they don't interesting but once i read on local newspaper, there are article that giving info about bitcoin price which is increase so high.
but in the last two days ago, i meet new person. he asked me what my activity when i am online. i tell him that i work as writer, trader, and i made money from bitcoin. first he don't believe when i say bitcoin price in the year 2015 (which i knew bitcoin for first time) is $2xx-$300 but suddenly this year, the price is jump too high and now we see the price is some around in $4xxx.
i give suggestion to him to invest his money in bitcoin but don't buy the whole bitcoin but do it like $100 for every month for 6 month and only hold it without learning anything about bitcoin, just save it. i think he is interesting but he said he need to learn to make sure about this. well actually i don't take too serious about this, if he really wants to do it, then he is a lucky guy that i've meet but if its not, then he got his choice.
so, what is happen in your places related with bitcoin? did people still don't care about bitcoin? and how about if you meet someone new and then you make conversation and you telling him that you are trying to make money from bitcoin? what he's respond?
It seems to me that a lot of people are still relatively ignorant when it comes to bitcoin. They either think that it is a ponzi scheme of some sort, or a bubble(which they are correct to some degree but they think that bitcoin price is inflated no matter what, even if it was at $100 apiece). But the recurring theme seems to be ignorance, and/or just "i dunno anything about bitcoin". Don't try to force feed the idea to them, it's their loss for not listening to you. In the end, these are the same people that will invest in bitcoin to hedge against inflation and use it as a currency, and people who held their bitcoins before them will benefit from the surge in demand. |

Quite pathetic, honestly. 130.4 Minex equates to around $27 and this guy is willing to sacrifice his integrity and his full member account with actually positive trust on it. Not sure what he was thinking, tbh. He could have made much more on that account by doing legitimate things instead of scamming.
Let this serve as a lesson to you. At least it wasn't a very expensive one, people get scammed for tens of thousands of dollars on this forum trusting users that they thought would be legit but instead turned around and stabbed them in the back. Use escrow, or expect this to happen to you again.
BTW, why didn't you just sell your minexcoins on an exchange(cryptopia) isntead of doing this p2p?

$15,000 is still cheap...
We have 6 billion people in the world and the top capacity for bitcoin is 21 million coins.
Yes, obviously it is cheap in the long run but it's not cheap by any means for this year. Remember, coins were only $400 each(basically Ethereum's price right now) a year ago. Right now it's at $4k, a 10x increase. it is highly unlikely that the user base has actually increased by 10x, but rather it's just the irrational traders making the pumps go further and further. $15k is a piece of cake in the long run because currently only a million or so users actually actively use bitcoin. In the long run, this number is going to increase increasing demand. But i'd expect a correction this year, instead of another massive pump. |

Seems like that there is one other person scammed of their LTC here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2110656.0This seems to be a scam that was well planned ahead. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the account that the user was operating on was bought because he used to post in broken English a week ago and now he's posting with perfect English. Neteller is reversible, isn't it? You can try your luck trying to negotiate with neteller support, although i'm not sure that you'll get a positive response from them since you were the one that ultimately authorized the transaciton, not some hacker. Take this as an expensive lesson learned, it could have been much worse, though. |

Do you think that BTC can price $10,000 in 2018?
I don't think so, because what goes up must come down. And we are currently in the stage right after a very big pump. People were buying like crazy but now it has slowed down quite a bit. I think that we should expect 2018 to be not as good as a year as 2017 has been to us so far. I'm not saying that it's impossible, though. Anything is possible with btc, it's just that such big rises do not happen consecutively. There is a probability though that the price of BTC will rise to $5k this year, and stabilize around that mark next year. Definitely not $10k, though. |

How think what price BTC will be after 23 August?
I think $4500
currently we have already activated segwit but the price seems to be going nowhere. I do expect something like a $300 rise in price, as you said i think that $4500 should be possible. We could potentially break the all time high once again, if the conditions are right(people are optimistic, traders have buying power, and BCC crashing would help too). This will probbaly happen in 2-4 days time, it's not happening now because not all bitcoiners know that segwit has been activated yet. Some are still sleeping. Though don't get too risky and invest everything you own, it's likely that we won't see a pump of the magnitude of the last one in this month. |

Hi
What do you think market response of the segwit on August 24rd 2017 @ 12:30 UTC
Time may be changed.
Segwit is good news for users of payment, but what do traders think ?
Bitcoin market price will rise up, or not.
I think segwit is useful, for Bitcoin will be more higher price !
Now,market price is going down...
Why?
I think the price of segwit is already locked in when we saw the price rise from $2500 to $4400. It's been locked in ever since couple of weeks ago so its activation is really no surprise to anyone here. I do think that we are going to see some minor rise in price but nothing major due to the fact that this is not some unforeseen good news. Most likely, after Segwit gets activated price will probably adjust upwards by a margin of couple of hundred dollars, and hopefully it will just stabilize at that price level for now. As i said i really doubt it's going to be anything more than $500 rises. |
