the facts are simple. The main investors who control the big exchangers(Coinbase, Bitstamp, Kraken, Itbit, BTC china, Okcoin) wants more control over Bitcoin. Now, they can "only" manipulate the market through "agreements" between the main exchangers and trough their bots. Let's not forget that Mtgox manipulated(through a bot; it'a a fact that it was proved) the market as they wanted and they were only one exchanger( with 70% marketshare...indeed). Now, it's a cartel.  By having their own e-currency(that means a "new" Bitcoin), they will control everything. Their developers will do what they are asked to do. Money talks! |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Coindesk propaganda - Blockchains
|
on: February 23, 2016, 09:39:46 PM
|
There are many news about banks "blockchains" lately; especially on Coindesk. What does have Bitcoin with these blockchains? Nothing ! Then why does Coindesk make so much buzz about that?  What is the interest behind these news? There are hundreds in the last 6 months regarding to different blockchains without ANY relation with Bitcoin. |

up to 2 million overall. BTC is not wellknown as the shitty BTC media is saying. They are just trying to manipulate...to attract more blind investors to their start ups or companies. All the BTC industry is owned by a bunch of people who are controlling the main exchangers, main BTC media websites and few miners. how many people around you, did you hear talking about Bitcoin? I didn't hear anybody. I heard people talking about gold, silver, real estate investments, shares but not about..Bitcoin |

Great point. The stupid investors must read something...so that they can pump up other money. Coinbase is like bankrupt without external funds. Their exchange company cannot be sustained from exchanges. Remember that they have financial licenses in most of USA. These licenses cost A LOT and also they have a lot of staff. Their monthly expenses are HUGE(do not count the lobbies that they have to pay). It's impossible to cover them from exchanges |

2 mil users? are you joking? all the BTC users are around of 2 millions This figure gets thrown around alot. I think it's Coinbase wallets. I doubt that means verified individuals. They could supply that figure if they wanted to. I guess it's gonna blow their cool if they do. I'm sure it's not verified individuals. It's already hard to believe it's 2 millions wallets so 2 millions people? That's more the number of bitcoiners worldwide... STATS 3,300,000 USERS 5,000,000 WALLETS 42,000 MERCHANTS 8,000 DEVELOPER APPS https://www.coinbase.com/aboutyou sure it is not 1 BILLION users and merchants?  3,300,000 USERS is not a real number. How many accounts do you have? How many from these users are owning Bitcoin? up to 1.5 milions or even less. Bitcoin is a niche market like PerfectMoney.com or any other e-currency. Read carefully: http://bitscan.com/bitnews/item/how-many-people-really-own-bitcoins-and-why-does-it-matter |

When it comes down to it does anybody really give a shit what he thinks?
Well, he is the CEO of the most valuable bitcoin company, with more than 2 million users, if someone knows what bitcoin companies need to grow it's him, so I guess his opinion should be taken into consideration. 2 mil users? are you joking? all the BTC users are around of 2 millions |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Europe wants end to anonymous Bitcoin transactions

It is hypocrisy at its finest, let's castrate bitcoin - it is the root of all evil! EU fucked up with refugee crisis and years of pure bureaucracy dulled their minds. It is the another idiotic idea, they think that taming bitcoin will gonna change something with Islamic terrorism and money laundering? This is not the way, gentlemen. To me anonymous nature of bitcoin transaction is not the plus point or the reason of my using bitcoin.Bitcoin has many more benefits like decentralized,fast,no chargeback etc so I am fine if bitcoin anonymity is taken away and I hope I am not the only one with this view fast? come on! Bitcoin is fast? Is it not? Does it take ages for you to send and receive bitcoin? I send and receive almost instantly.How long does it takes at your end? 15-20 minutes. |

Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Mining Sites vs Investment Sites?

So there is no safe site to invest BTC on internet?
Its difficult to find safe sites to invest with bitcoins. If you have an high amount of money, you can look on investing platforms like https://bnktothefuture.com these ones aren't scams but aren't 100% safe, if the company don't make profits you will not recover your investment. And investing in mining sites (be sure that are mining, and aren't ponzis), now is very difficult to make profits, for example cex.io mining investment stopped because fees were higher than profits. I will look this site, thanks. Yes, unfortunelly these mining sites aren't profitable, The profits are decreasing every moment, very frustrating. The first impression about BTC investiments is a magic world, but in the end it's like real world... hehe Bitcoin market is full of scams. You better trade it or cash it out and invest the money in something real like real estate or make an offline business in your country. |

Economy / Exchanges / Re: How Cryptsy can save itself

Can BTC continue to increase in price with issues like these? Some people will lose confidence in it because of the risks.
Only some 13000 BTC had been stolen from Cryptsy and that's nothing in comparison to the Gox theft. In addition a lot of altcoins also disappeared (2.5k-3k BTC worth LTC, BTCD and XC) what will be dumped for BTC at some point, I guess. Even 13k BTC wouldn't have too much effect on the prices. 13,000 bitcoin is just 4 day supply of bitcoin. It will be absorbed by the market easily. The altcoins are even easier. But individuals that lost money can't absorb those losses very easily (like me). how much have you lost? |

I read about these articles almost everyday online and each has their own version to put down bitcoins. Coindesk articles are more helpful and mostly positive. They also predicted bitcoins to increase after halving while other articles gave us a negative report. It's good to concentrate on coindesk articles more.
Coindesk is owned by the same investors who have shares with many exchangers so they are directly interested to HAVE good news even most of them are bullshit. Example: the news about different blockchains who are developed by different companies. these projects are not related with Bitcoin at all but Coindesk is presenting them as being part of BTC. Any kid who is opening a shit exchange service is presented as being like a cure for cancer. It's part of a propaganda. |

Of course there will be a change. I think the price now I find already quite low and many people find it too low. But they must realize that it can later be worth much.
People need patience and they should just wait quietly.
right now the price isn't really that low. if it was, then people would buy up and make the price go higher. if the price falls back to very low $300's, then you can consider the price to be low. there won't be "good news" soon so the price can't go higher; only if the exchangers have no other interests and they will put the bots at work. |

YES, over 80% from BTC is dark market (ponzi, cloud mining, so called forex, drugs, guns, stolen credit cards/IDs, hackers are paid through Bitcoin). Even the most of the exchangers are part of the black market. YES, those unlicensed exchangers like: Bitstamp, BTC CHina, OKcoin, Huobi, Kraken, BTC-e and many others are BLACK MARKET because they are doing illegal exchanges without being licensed for that. |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is a manipulated coin?
|
on: February 07, 2016, 11:38:37 PM

Well all crypto coins are manipulated ,whales always will pump a coin on a week and then left it,these happend to bitcoin this year already they joined and made bitcoin reach almost 500 dollars ,all of those were based into the halving that is very near.
what whales? ) the "whales" are the exchangers and their investors who control the whole BTC market. The exchangers are running bots and they can rise or drop the BTC price how they want. MT Gox did the same and there proofs that others do the same. miners are whales, they have accumulated at least 100k coins in all those year, and everyone with that amount is a whale also early adopters are not out of the game yet, i'm sure there is still someone with plenty of coin, 50+ or 100k+ miners want the cash not shit. they are buying their houses, cars, gold, more houses, whores with cash not with Bitcoin. maybe they own some BTC but not a lot...would you keep 50K BTC? come on! let's not be hypocrites. The goal is the cash. Bitcoin is just an opportunity for miners and they know that very well. They will suck all the money they can from this biz and that's it Once the shit will stink, they will close everything and end of story. I hope you don't believe that the miners are fairies with a lot of good intentions and that they care about "BTC community". They just need a community to reach their goal; same with exchangers. How do they maintain this community ? Through forums like this one, through media like Coindesk and so on... Everything is around the "CASH", nobody gives a fuck about Bitcoin itself |
