theory is that the lower price, the less cost of trading,
if the trading funds is fixed, the price is lower, the volume is more.
e.g.
$1000 can trade 10 times at $100/BTC, but it only trade 5 times at $200/BTC
agree you. if bitcoin price is $50, we can create 10 times volume. just like now, all volume is lower below 5,000, but the price is also lower than last month, how do you explain? Where do you see the volume? bitstamp 24h-volume is over 10k, both btc-e and lakebtc are 5k+ Bitcoin market is undergoing dramatic changes |

Why do I need an escrow? Not necessary, you should store your BTC in yourself I thought trust was not needed it? Terrible, pay BTC to any else where you do not trust, avoid it Do I need a computer to store my wallet? You can, but not necessary, a hard disk can replace it What wallet should I use? refer this https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet What is the common website where I can purchase goods? Sorry, there are no common website, only overstock if it is How can I accept bitcoin at my store? You can use merchant tools by Coinbase, BitPay, and other exchange offered like LakeBTCWhere to create a bitcoin account?No account with Bitcoin, only address and private. But you can create account at bitcoin website, e.g exchange, payment etc

Economy / Speculation / Re: I just bought and why it's bad for you

Hello all, I have run so bad in finances that me having bought a large volume of bitcoins this entire week might doom you all.
This is my first post so let me introduce myself, I am a construction bussiness owner that in the last 10 years has lost about 20 million in the stock market, I also lost roughly 7 million in my other hobby no limit poker. I am so unlucky that me using Coinbase this entire week to accumulate 500 Bitcoins can't be good, odds of me winning in this gamble are astronomically rare, just so you know my average has been $418 this week, I also own a small amount of bitcoin bought a few months ago at $644 and that didn't go well. Good luck and prove me wrong!
Yes, luck is part of the strength. But, a good beginning is half the battle , this is where you make a mistake. In fact, Coinbase is not a true Exchange, it's a changer just like okpay, bitpay, egopay, etc. You buy bitcoins on Coinbase that itself cost your extra more fee, and you can't do some decent trading on it. The other hand, there is a tradition on Coinbase, do you know? Whenever there is a greater volatility in Bitcoin price, they will prohibit you buy/sell bitcoins on Coinbase, until the price recover smooth. Oh fuck, if it would not allow us doing business when the price changes, how to make money? So you want to make money with Bitcoin, firstly you have to choose a Bitcoin Exchange. Usually, Exchange charge fees 0.1% - 0.5%, but changers would charge a fee at least 1%, common 2%, even I had seen 7% on some changers.I suggest you go the following exchange: 1. LakeBTC https://www.lakebtc.com/, best for North American and China users, but more suitable for bulk trading, and it's difficult to ensure profits of retail trading users. 2. Bitstamp https://www.bitstamp.net/, best for Europe users, but their KYC verification is annoying and slightly higher fee compared to other exchanges. 3. Btc-e https://btc-e.com/, Except Bitcoin, if you want to trade another crypto-currency, btc-e is best. More Bitcoin Exchange list you can see here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=695082.0For Europeans Kraken is much better. No annoying KYC (no it's none of your fucking business where the Bitcoins came from. Fuck you). It seems that only Bitstamp requires you to provide proof of the source of funds, and ask you what are you going to do. In fact, if your trading volume within 30days is between $20,000 and $100,000, Bitstamp is more suitable for you. Alternatively, if your trading volume within 30days is over $500,000, you definitely want to choose LakeBTC for it is the lowest fee in this case. Except these two situations, Kraken has the most appropriate fee, and BTC-e' fee is constant for 0.2%, but the deposit/withdrawal fee is high. Reference:
