1  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: September 19, 2017, 09:40:43 PM
I don't know Why but i Just want to make same ATH guess like last time
Rules ....: the one  with the right date of ATH gets .25 btc paid directly  (UTC time)    (closest to ATH.....)
I look to Every page in here from now When a date is picked first iT cannot been taken again ( 1st =1st)
Another .25 btc is rewarded for ho makes best of technical analyse of the time When we strike ATH.... and Why iT happens at that time.....
So This .25 also only to been payed 1 time .... and not 2 times te same explanation.... (1st =1st)

Both answers to win must been inside before 20-09-2017
Goodluck to the ones that like This 

UPDATE listmaking                 notice a * is when the person put good enough explanation for other .25 BTC  (person with no * only play ATH or have to put little better )

THIS IS THE LAST UPDATE OF THE LIST

chosen date of     petahashminer where allready taken so can give one UNTILL     MAXIMUM 23.59 UTC 19-09-2017    so 20 september 2017

I will take 16/10 if available.  That was my Mom's birthday.   She is in heaven now but the date is still very meaningful.

Reason for the rise? Bear trap will have ended by then, China FUD hopefully over by then.  New users on Coinbase and other exchanges that are just waiting on the sidelines will sense some FOMO and new ATH will ensue. 
2  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Just confriming, segwit or segwit2x is going ahead on BTC? on: August 16, 2017, 11:54:25 PM
99.99999% segwit will lock in in a few days. There is no controversy over this - miners, users, bitcoincore devs all agree they want this!

But the 1m->2m base blocksize increase is still very split. (I know segwit in effect enables 2-4 times more Tx in this 1/2Meg - but only as the wallets/users upgrade).

According to https://www.xbt.eu/ 90-95% of the miners are supporting the 2Mb blocksize increase that will occur at block 494504 (sorry could be out by 1 on this number as would have to reread the source code to be sure).

So we will get an extra chain in about 90 days time. And the chain with 90% of the hash power will be the chain with the 2Mb block size - so NOT compatible with BitcoinCore!

As I have said before this causes huge issues for the BitcoinCore chain - as blocks will take 10 times longer, and also it will take 20 weeks till the difficulty resets (rather than the normal 2 weeks). And even after the reset blocks will still be taking 2.5 times longer for another 5 weeks.

So the big question is whether the "Economy" will move to the BitcoinSegWit2x code or not - i.e. payment processors, shops, wallets etc... According to https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/ they have not even started to - only about a few % have moved.

If we have a split where the "Economy" goes one way and the miners go the other will be mess!


Obviously 1000 things could change in the next 90 days...
1) BitcoinCore could release a patch to support 2Mb blocks!
2) Miners could stop supporting NYA (SegWit2x) - if this dropped below 50% I think the new chain would die very quickly.
3) Someone else could release a patch ontop of BitcoinCore that supports 2meg block - is trival to code now as can just hardcode a block to switch on.
4) BitcoinCore could release a patch that speeds up the difficulty reduction (like BitcoinCash did) to avoid issue of slow block issue. But obviously massively reduce security of blockchain!

The latest news is block 494784.

I'm a little surprised it's as high as 90% still flagging intention for NYA/Segwit2x, but yeah, it's currently 930 out of the last 1000 blocks.  There were some claims that miners using Bitcoin Core were only using the BIP91 patch to avoid a split, but if that were true, surely they would have stopped signalling intention for larger blocks by now?  SegWit is locked in and definitely happening, so they can easily back out of the NYA if they genuinely weren't keen on it and just have SegWit by itself.  At the risk of repeating "intention" too much, that's all it currently is.  There's nothing stopping them from changing their minds any time between now and November.  Are some of the miners possibly playing mind games and making it look like 2x has more support than it really does?  Are some of them maybe waiting until the last minute to drop the 2x intent?  And will some of them start changing their minds a little faster if the next Core release goes through with the proposal to disconnect nodes signalling 2x?

So many questions, heh.  The plot continues to thicken.   Grin


Hmmm.

Do I need to split out my Bitcoin Cash from my Bitcoin into new wallets before the next fork?

Huh

Then we shouldn't ever throw away old wallets.
I can see where this would get old fast.

If you hold a bitcoin (BTC) balance on any address before the November fork, you'll have the same amount on the newly forked 2x chain.  

You don't have to worry about moving any BCC/BCH because that's already on its own separate chain, completely unrelated to the SegWit2x one.  You can keep those funds on any address you want.  

The SegWit2x fork will have literally zero impact on your BitcoinCash holdings (with the possible exception of maybe stealing some of the hashpower from that chain, making it potentially slower to transact in BitcoinCash)



You're surprised that companies that can be sued are standing by their commitments that keep them from being sued?  I'm more surprised bitcoiners don't have the faintest understanding of keeping business commitments.  Of COURSE they are all going to 2X.  They agreed and signed that they would.  Any loss of value to others for going back on that commitment would lose them a court case.

There are other coins you can mine such as Litecoin or Ethereum.  They use Scrypt and can be traded for bitcoin.
4  Economy / Speculation / Re: Afraid to sell my i7 PC setups.. Scared BTC will pop.. on: November 04, 2015, 12:37:37 PM
Sell your car, take out student loans, borrow money from your girlfriend, pawn the title of her car, sell your fillings, then buy bitcoin.

This is a joke.  Please nobody really do this.  Only invest what you can afford to lose.
5  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin To $500 within 2 days. [MARK MY WORDS!] on: November 04, 2015, 12:30:54 PM
$461 on preev. I think just 3 more hours at this rate and we will reach the $500 mark. But i have heard that $460 will be a tough point to break so lets see what happens.

Where did you hear that? What's the reason behind it? I don't see any resistance except 500$ and 600$.

Chinese ¥3000 is around there.
6  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin To $500 within 2 days. [MARK MY WORDS!] on: November 04, 2015, 12:27:48 PM
It is not easy to arrive at those levels without well knowing reasons.

It's always easy to spot the 2014 members.
7  Economy / Speculation / Re: Similarities to 2013 on: November 04, 2015, 12:21:25 PM
$3k would be pretty conservative imo. We are at the very low end of the log channel with a huge amount of free space above. When we make an ATH, all bets are off.

ATH is when the press STARTS to notice.  Then MORE people come in.
8  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will bitcoin reach 500 USD again ? on: November 04, 2015, 12:19:07 PM
Today.  Cuz look.
9  Economy / Speculation / Re: All-in, bulltard, this is Gentleman, HODLER ONLY Thread on: November 04, 2015, 04:16:59 AM
So my husband was working on a spreadsheet to figure out the rake in which we will take some profits.  He had the price going out to over 10 Billion but then he deleted it saying "we won't ever get to that price!"  I then looked at him with shock and disgust and said, "YOU'RE A BEAR!"   Cheesy  

Even I have my limits as a bull, but it somewhere close to a million per coin!  Grin

Am I still welcome on this thread now?
10  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin way back to 700's by this november ? on: November 03, 2015, 03:05:13 PM
I am pretty much satisfied with the current BTC price ,but  something makes me feel it will cross 700 by this november .
so it's up 50$ in a day , 370~ according to http://preev.com/


No one can know that but I will do a pray (even I don't believe in God) to arrive at least at 600.  Wink It will be a big achievement even this amount. But I think that the most important thing, and even much more important than the arrive of that price, is the stability in any kind of price can arrive. Going high and seeing going again down (even fast) is painful. Seems like bitcoin have no power to stay in high levels.

Prayer tends to work better when you DO believe in God.  Just sayin'.

But yeah, I think we can see big numbers this month.  It's got all the signs.
11  Economy / Speculation / Re: I am happy we are going up, but it is going too fast. Hope it slows down. on: November 03, 2015, 02:56:59 PM
"Scared"?  I don't get that.  There's nothing to be scared about.

This is the fun times.  Choo choo to the moon and all that.
12  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC reach $400 during november? on: November 03, 2015, 02:14:36 PM
C'mon.  Let's ask a more interesting question:

Will BTC reach $1000 during November?
Interesting? Sure. Realistic? Not at all, however optimistic you may be. Taking a more rational approach at things, possibilities can only go for so long

See.  You guys are all newbs.  You really don't understand what's possible with bitcoin.  Check out November 2013.  Do you really think anyone thought it was possible to hit $1000 then when it was $200?

But as it is, we've gone up over $100 in a week.  And every day we're going up faster than the day before.
13  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC reach $400 during november? on: November 03, 2015, 01:49:41 PM
C'mon.  Let's ask a more interesting question:

Will BTC reach $1000 during November?
14  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC reach $350 during november? on: November 03, 2015, 01:29:53 PM
I think $450 is definitely do-able by end of Nov'2015. $550 by end of Dec'2015. $650 by end of Jan'2016. $1000 by end of Feb'2016. $2500 by end of March'2016. $5000 by end of April'2016. $2500 by end of May'2016. $1000 by end of June'2016. $500 by end of July'2016.

Bitcoin bubbles aren't that gradual.  If it bubbles, then all of you are in for a wild ride this November/December.

Also, never say what Bitcoin can't do.  It has already proven what it can do many times before.  Up and down.  I said it would never hit the 200s again.  I was very wrong.

The halving hasn't been priced in.  Because when that day comes, miners now need to charge double to make their investment back, and they HAVE to make their investment back.  If I have learned anything about Bitcoin over the years, it's that miners have incredibly short-term views.  If they were comfortable with a $250 price floor before the halving... well, you do the math.

News has NEVER been a cause of price changes in bitcoin.  Go back and read threads from 2013.  "What news is causing this?" is a common refrain throughout bitcoin's history.

The 2 most likely factors in my opinion are:

1. China's capital controls.  Because Chinese citizens now have limits on taking money out of the country through official means, they have to move money through bitcoin now unofficially.  This is why you are seeing more activity on Chinese exchanges.

2. Gemini is allowing more corporate regulated money into bitcoin.  Because of this, many of them are seeing bitcoin for the first time and they will like these insane short-term profits.

We are most likely going to hit $400 TODAY, November 3.
15  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoin price is going up now. Why? what going on? i need 411 please. on: March 03, 2015, 08:31:00 PM
Since nobody mentioned it, the GBTC announcement probably has investors buying in because they expect a small bump.
16  Economy / Speculation / Re: Something really fishy about the media couverage on: January 27, 2015, 10:51:52 PM
Now, "real" people (like NASDAQ and NYSE) are doing it instead of hackers and spoiled rich brats who won a lawsuit.

(I don't believe this, I'm just commenting on what I believe the media's opinion is.)
17  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wallstreet guys won't buy from exchanges on: August 08, 2014, 11:06:50 PM
I think they would just wait for a professional, properly regulated fund. Why take the counterparty risk dealing with these exchanges? They could disappear in an instant.

You mean like the Winklevoss ETF?
18  Economy / Economics / Re: How much do you value your credit score? on: August 04, 2014, 08:58:50 PM
I don't really care what banks think, I have as much credit as I'd ever need within my circle. If I buy a house, I have family that would even take a loan in their name because they know I'm good for my word and money.

Even with my bad credit as a result of being unemployed for six months and the dispute with Verizon, I was able to buy a house - but I had to do it through a credit union, regular banks wouldn't touch me.

I have two more payments and it is paid off, never having missed a payment.

Congrats on almost having paid off your home.  Out of curiosity, what interest rate did you have to pay for the mortgage?

12% fixed.
Yes, that's high, but I really had no option.

I probably could have gotten lower from bank if Verizon hadn't screwed me over, but I don't have the assets needed to sue them.

My opinion on the whole credit rating thing is that it's all a big scam, there is no recourse when the customer is f***ed over like I was, nothing I could do. It's basically legal extortion - you either bow before corporate America when there's a payment dispute and pay them or they screw up your credit rating.

What's funny is how much Verizon could have made off of me by now had they simply done the right thing. I don't get it.

Over a matter of $60 (last bill) when I had a $500 deposit - they lost me as a customer for life, and by now I've spent several thousand dollars with their competition that they could have had.

So how much did that $500 that you never paid cost you (even if it was a mistake)?
19  Economy / Economics / Re: How much do you value your credit score? on: August 04, 2014, 08:55:56 PM
I just think it is sort of a sucker score.
Therefore a higher credit score just shows that you are losing money to the banks.”

Get a credit card.  Pay your balances in full, monthly, then there are NO FEES.  Free credit score.
Free low credit score. Banks do not want you if you pay off with no fees. That's the thing, a high score means you will borrow more than you can pay off and will go into debt. The credit business is about getting you in debt, not lending you money.

Not true at all.  At one point I wrote credit software for 5 years and I can tell you that I know EXACTLY how every action affects your score.  Borrowing and paying off every month will get you a very high score.

We have seen new, large buys on Friday and today at the end of the British workday.  They do appear to be being on-market every day.  We'll see if it continues.
