Maybe history is failing me, but I think the gold ban was worst since the government got the gold for themselves, and with the ICO ban and the exchanges suspensions, the government didn't really kept anything for them. Also it wasn't really a ban on bitcoin, but again, if they do that, they can't really confiscate bitcoins from users.

I think centrals banks are a little scared, because they can't really control BTC, and all the options it provides to users. I'm not entirely sure if they don't own some decent amounts of BTC, or if they wont actually do it. Most of them wont make it illegal I guess, they will just try to find a way to profit from it, like regulating exchanges and charging taxes from those that own BTC, as they already do from those that own gold.

More countries will follow. Ultimately a good thing, but will make the Alt market a bit tricky to maneuver in until this all plays out.

Besides keeping it to raise in value later. There is not much I can do...

With fiat money, I can pay rent, go to restaurants, buy clothes. But with BTC, there is basically no stores that accept them in my country. Sure it's easier online, but then again the stores might not have the best products or is the cheapest/best value.

Am I the only one facing this issue?

That is the theoretical upper limit. In practice >3.000.000 bitcoins are permanently lost in addresses, that contain lots of bitcoins. And the biggest addresses eg. coldfinex exchange has over 100.000 coins in it, and exchanges are probably always going to have lots of coins in same address.

Just trying to say, that there will always be a lot less addresses with balance than the theoretical upper limit.

Or who knows. Maybe bitcoin value will someday get so high, that we will have to divide bitcoins to even smaller parts. How about 0.001 Satoshi = 1mS

Many bitcoin user expected that one.My opinion about this Speculation is it will reach the value of 5000$ at the November itself. No need to wait Upto the Year end at all.Now the price of bitcoin is reached the value of 4259$.So now it's value again start to raise.

Your forecast is very accurate and I  think we have resume another bullish market and this time around we may go as high as $6,000. The key resistance level was broken yesterday and we may  actually see a push towards $4,650 by early next week. I think now is the right time to buy and hold till we get to $6000 Fibonacci  extension level. I also believe that the Chinese regulatory agency news of banning bitcoin tomorrow is not going to affect us as rumors has already influence bitcoin pricing since last week.

Poloniex for example, has limits for each user level. If you send your passport and ID and photo, they leverage your user status to the upgraded member and you can withdraw more money. But I think withdrawing huge amounts would cause problems legally.

Hello everyone,



I am still fairly new to cryptocurrency, therefore that challenge is probably dumb... bare with me personally.

If a person has Holdings that value tens of thousands of 83000, let us imagine $20,000,000 plus they would like to cash deposit and it for their banking account, is it possible?has Holdings that value millions of 2500, let's say $20,000,000 and they would like to cash deposit and it for their banking accounts, how is it feasible?

Since Just BTC isn't controlled by banks, it's up for your own exchange websites to handle this trade (so I assume), so who'll cover this cash amount into this individual?

I reside in Australia and that I use two sites for the cryptocurrency, CoinSpot (multi-wallet and swap site) and Coinjar (Bit-coin wallet and exchange). I emailed them a support email, asking for the exact same, as It is not clear if it's really a country/company policy that dictates exactly what goes on in such situations.


Cheers.

Holy shit, if that's true, bitcoin might hit new ATH very soon. all these chaos which created by china will soon turning to a big pump month.
by the way, why did china ban both exchanges and bitcoin and then unban it again?

why do you call it "bluff"
it was some reality about banning ICOs and also closing exchanges then there was all the FUD about banning bitcoin and mining and all kinds of weird stuff about China and bitcoin.
and none of it matters at all. even if all the FUD were true, the price would have came back here just like it has now! these things can not affect the free market for long.

Since it is only gambling to chose the next x1000 coin and even to predict the next x100 coin is very hard to impossible, let's be a bit more realistic and pick the most promising coins that will at least x10(or more  ) in 2018. I mean such an investment will go from $100 to $1000 and is still a very good investment. And it should not be impossible to predict with a good fundamental analysis.

My favorites for 2018 that should at least x10 are:

1. Ardor, because it is the successor of the NXT token and has the same team behind it but offers much more functions. With its main chain, it offers the option to create new coins with an own sub chain under Ardor and the Ardor holders will profit from it. Ardor will start soon and hopefully be even more successful than NXT.

2. Verge: It is a stealth coin like Monero but still very undervalued (low market cap).The developers are active and the community is very positive about this project. Some more exchanges started to trade Verge recently.

3. Electroneum: This is a bit risky because it's still an ICO but looks very promising. They develop mobile apps and you can mine this coin via the mobile app.

Which coins do you think will at least x10 in 2018 and should be a good and profitable investment for us?

1) How and who generates these public/private keys. I assume anyone can generate ..but whats the criteria

2) Who keeps track of which public keys are generated and what is its corresponding private key .. as far i understand there is no one so i wonder how it works

3) If it is a random public key with no one keeping track of addresses in use, how does the system ensure same address is not being used by two different people. i.e how do we know the key generate has produced a key that is not already in use

4) we keep hearing suggestions about disposing keys and keep creating new ones for security reasons. While it is secure to move on to new address as frequently as possible, my question is how sustainable is this approach. How big is the address space and whats the chance of exhausting the addresses and stumbling on reused addresses.

I don't see $4979 being a problem anymore. After $4100 was broke, the buy and sell orders shift and the market becomes more bullish and has a positive outlook. Double bottoms and double tops are very rare, I think getting past $5000 is going to be no problem. Just give it a few hours and don't trade, otherwise you may risk missing the next big green candle and there is nothing worse than waking up being on cash.

now we already break it, bitcoin could easily go as high as $4800 but I doubt it can get through $5000 barrier, maybe waiting for a moment first and then new highest price will be achieved.
the market is currently now very bullish, the current trend is buy. expecting a good outcome from this one in this month.

That's true, but today or you will regret in the future. Today is the best time. Bicoin is lower than $4000 , the best time to buy because maybe by the end of oct bitcoin will increase again into $4000.

It's all priced in, where were you when the price went from the mid 4k range to $2800 a week or two ago? The market has digested & shat out the news.

Recovery is over now & the price is the price.

Bitcoin HODLERS not affected.

We are facing a little correction after breaking the resistance, My thought that this caused by some rumour about the possibility of another free cash or airdrop from the bitcoin itself.
The price around 4064 and it looks there is a little bear in the future.
