I think this was just one of the increases, there will be another increase not too long from now, I don't know when and I don't know how and I have certainly no clue why people say there is one when it happens (people make up reasons all the time whenever bitcoin goes up or down) but I know that the price will go up once again.
Looking at the difficulty and the hashrate there is absolutely no way bitcoin price stays the same when halving happens, there is two possibilities either the big miners will mine no matter what while making a loss in order to get small miners away and make them stop their equipment or the price will definitely go up a lot.
If the price doesn't go up and big miners mine for a loss then small miners will only close their equipment while its unprofitable and will open back up as soon as its profitable so I feel like price going up is a more realistic approach.
i am not really sure about another boom coming next. this kind move happens once in a while , we can see it the similar thing happened in the last big movement where the sudden move up did not happen twice thrice or so. bitcoin style is one big punch staright , i mean like in 2016/2017 where it moving from $500 to $5000 real quick at once within a week. can we go through this market swing now and get another boom? i don't think so. too early for bitcoin halving warming up , the support is just too weak at least for now. |

$5,000 isn't actually too bad. At some points, acquiring a DASH Masternode was somewhere in the order of $100,000.
If you actually look at the amount of ETH held in the average ETH wallet, you'll find that a large number of Ethereum holders are actually wealthy enough to participate in staking.
I personally wouldn't want to lock up $5k just to secure the Ethereum network, unless the staking rewards were pretty lucrative (e.g. 10%+ per year).
Ethereum is too volatile to lock up for long periods.
even with the alltime high like $1000 price/ 1 ethereum that 32 ethereum is worth $32000 which still far below most well known crypto staking system like dash as you said , require around $75000. ethereum staking especially for now where the price is very low , it should be profitable to lock it up for staking. it should be an opportunity to gain more ethereum, to gain more value by staking it. why not? it worth the risk. i don't mind to do that with those staking amount is still in the fair line. ethereum price is not as volatile as any other cryptocurrency i guess unless if you compare it to stable coins which it is not fair., how can you say that? |

With Bitcoin or against Bitcoin huh? Can't people want "the future" and not want Bitcoin? Big fan boy here, don't get me wrong, but just because I like the idea of keeping all my money on the internet instead of in a bank account, doesn't mean everyone else has got to like to do it too.
Besides, if Bitcoin's the future, does it mean I'm already in the future, and people who can't afford mobile phones or never seen the internet are... not wanting the future?
that is correct, you can not force someone else to do the same thing as you to get recognized. the fact that elderly scared to something new like all these bitcoin with blockchain technology to be used in everyday life , many of them believe that the future is about that stuff , they just can not do it for reasons. the current and next generation maybe more open minded and really love to experimenting, that is fit with the technology nature that moving really fast against the time, especially the blockchain technology itslef that powering bitcoin. the full adoption of bitcoin in our daily life requires a long time to realized. we are on the phase where people still put interest in bitcoin but can not go allin -yet- for security reason. which means bitcoin still makes people insecure, it takes time to make people feel comfortable and secure using bitcoin. |

Hi,
I suffer from anxiety and this sportsbook is not helping.
I deposited ~0.15 BTC and have made several large sportsbets. Overall I have won.
I am trying to withdraw and they keep delaying my payout. It has been 24 hours.
I want to keep playing here but I am used to Fairlay and Nitrogen where payouts are ALWAYS 1 hour or less.
I withdrew 0.1 BTC yesterday morning, still not received. I withdrew 0.08 BTC last night and received that this morning.
Email response has been very slow and I don’t have access to desktop computer right now (at work).
Please send my 0.1 BTC withdraw soon or for my health will have to withdraw my full balance. I can’t deal with 1+ day payouts in bitcoin world for a new book to me. It brings me flashbacks of when I was scammed by two bitcoin sportsbooks years ago.
they do manual withdrawal checking if they find there is something wrong against their rules such as abusive behavior or suspected multi-accounting abuser etc so far so good almost instant within 1 hour for me who withdrawing almost every week. the email support also pretty responsive , i several times making complaint to them. the last time is about two weeks ago where they answered to my email within 6 hours or so i guess. not sure what is really happened to you , maybe you came from a country where it has restricted to fortunejack , aren't you? i have seen a lot of people who play here even with hundreds bitcoin in withdrawal request , received their bitcoin as soon as they clicked the withdraw button. it seems they do manual checking procedure on your account for reason , anybody from fortunejack side have a comment on this? |

the scam happens often everywhere not only in crypto currency space. There is no doubt that there are scams all over the world in difference financial sector but in this space we see that more often and billions of dollars are lost to these scammers which is not a small amount by any means. there is nothing to be scared with the scam attempts as long as you fill your head with deep knowledge about crypto.
there is a lot of effort working on proggress to prevent scams these days , it does not need to stopping you getting involved in the business.
Scammers will improvise with time and they will come up with projects that will attract anyone with deep knowledge too, it is true that you cannot scam anyone with half baked projects but you never know what the future holds, i am not a fan of the ICO world as i have seen many scams and i am not risking my money for these shitty projects, i made my profit with the amount i invested and if i was too greedy to hold for a longer period of time i would have lost everything. as i stated previously that cryptocurrency is not mature enough , moreover it is much more vulnerable than any financial sector that has been availabe to serve millions people for years , sure you can not compare it. even in the banks environment where they almost experienced any kind security breach included scam attempts involving bank products , scam happens pretty often , who to blame? the bank? of course not. the same thing applied here in crypto. stop comparing these two , this is a never ending issue that seems will always exist. there is a theory that this kind "crypto hacks" issues written in the mainstream media just to kill crypto existence itself. a makes sense conspiracy isn't it? |

EPL from tomorrow, does anyone have any prediction for their team? I will go with Aston Villa vs Liverpool match of course. After this hell match in EFL the players of Liverpool may feel some tiredness but I think before the kick off they will feel fresh and fit.
Considering Aston Villa's lose against City, I will say they will lose in this match too but I could be a close match.
2 - 1 for Liverpool for me.
By the way, do not miss FJM for this week!
tired what? FYI liverpool play with second team vs arsenal in EFL  . in the last 7 aston villa match in all competition they always ended up with more than 3 goals and the safe bet for this is over 1.5 goals but the odds is really disappointing low , if you go for over 2.5 goals it may gives you a fairer odds and considering they did a good job on attacking they maybe will make liverpool earns point in hard way. over 2.5 goals and liverpool to win both halves can be a little bit challenging. it is a lmost a sure thing that liverpool with play with full attacking team of salah firmino and mane , 3 points should be secured with them in the pitch. |

Whenever the price rise then it should be considered as manipulation and whenever the price is down then it is the end...
This volatility is a nice characteristic of Bitcoin vs other cryptocurrencies or FIAT and it will remain
But, I do see in different way that the drop was manipulated and the rise was organic. I mean look at the price right now, people are happy with it, they like the $10k price, when it was around $7k or even at $8k people were uncomfortable, they didn't like it, they were thinking about getting out because it could go down even further before going up, basically 7-8 levels made them uncomfortable in general. However, in the end when price reached around $9k (a bit bigger) they realized that is a fine level, they are not asking for $20k right now, they are not asking for even $15k, around $10k is enough for everyone, nothing more but nothing less. It is a comfortable price where we enjoy the price and start using it how it should have been, for spending and earning or basically sending and receiving. i was pretty pessimist when the price close to hit the dip as low as $6000 even lower to $5000 few weeks ago. thinking that both the rise and fall was never organic but always in the manipulator hands ... once again -it was- now have got the profit in my pocket after the sudden rise really changing my mind lol , yes psychological factors have a big impact. the rise is organic because of several events making people in FOMO. the down is not because that is the way traders work on making money. however i do exchanged the coins out to cash now and i think some other investors or traders doing the same like me , that is causing the market slightly down too in correction, for how long? i think until this mid-month swing will occured between $8500 to $9500, i still waiting for the right time to set the buy order again . |

Scams have always been an issue but with development of technologies they moved into virtual space. New possibilities for criminals and much easier way to gain illegal profit. Cryptocurrencies user are especialy atractive target. And I'm not talking only about ICO's, it's much larger area.
Awarness is something that needs to be worked on and people needed to know how to protect themselves,how to check necessary facts and recognize potential scam.
+1 the scam happens often everywhere not only in crypto currency space. but yes we do know that cryptocurrency itself is much more vulnerable because its easy-access unregulated system , but the thing is that if you really know what you are doing in crypto , every aspect start from the very basic to the technical , i think you will never get trapped in the scams cycle, cryptocurrency is a wonderful thing ever invented for human kind in the digital era with its high risk involved. there is nothing to be scared with the scam attempts as long as you fill your head with deep knowledge about crypto. there is a lot of effort working on proggress to prevent scams these days , it does not need to stopping you getting involved in the business. |

If you spend your bitcoins now, you might regret it soon. The selling has been non-stop since reaching $13,000 and it seems that the market is very oversold, yet no sign of stopping. However, if you spend it now, maybe next week or the week before that, the price may gain 50%.
You can spend your Bitcoin now if you really need it specially if it's an emergency needs however it's not how it should be spent. Although keeping it can benefit you whenever it gains value to the market, it doesn't guarantee a sure profit thus it's still a gamble in my opnion. Keeping Bitcoin should be a spare money thus you can benefit from its ups and downs. i am not sure if it is wise action to put all fund you have in bitcoin. since you are mentioning that "in case emergency , you can spend it" if you only put the free money in bitcoin , there is nothing called "in case emergency scenario" , you will just holding your bitcoin as long as possible and about spending bitcoin , you can exchange your fiat directly to bitcoin and spend it directly too. pretty simple right? i can not see any disadvantage by holding bitcoin for long time if only you really know the risk and really know the money you put in there as something that othing to lose but a really long term investment. spend bitcoin anytime , hold it all the time. |

I'm seeing all draws tonight, and will play only this bet as a double ->
SD Eibar - CF Villarreal
Asian Total Over 1.5 v1.29
CF Getafe - Granada CF
Asian Total Over 1.5 @1.58
TOT Odds: @2.04
there is three matches tonight , for eibar vs villareal : eibar is fighting to avoid relegation zone , they only won 2 game and gets only 9 points from the 10 game total. villareal looking for european place, to secure this they need to win the game and move up to 4th place replaced atletico madrid. over 1.5 goals is really safe bet, i vouch for this. getafe vs granada : everyone will really glad to see granada back to the 1st place by win this match and put a pressure everyweek on barcelona and real madrid on 2nd and 3rd. getafe is on tough situation , can not score much in the last few weeks. make the bet for over 1.5 goals really hard, i prefer for the under goals. mallorca vs osasuna , both teams to score is so tempting. |

Don't know if there's an automated tool but I have my own way back then:
1) Check the trade history.
2) List it on a spreadsheet or excel.
3) Your columns should have; date, initial capital, profit, loss, changes (either 24h, 1w, etc) and just include what data you want. Study the formulas for easy encoding or you can just do the computation manually.
I have my own spreadsheet back then but I forgot where I stored it. It might be a good reference for you on how to make a simple tracker from scratch.
it is gonna be a tough job to do it manually haha i find it interesting a service that exstasie mentioned here CoinTracking.info has a product like this. The free version is limited to 200 trades and you need to manually import data using CSV exports from exchanges. The paid versions have much higher limits and can interact directly with exchange APIs to automate everything for you. https://cointracking.info/pro.phpBitcoin.Tax is another service which should be able to do the same thing. https://bitcoin.tax/unfortunately the paid version seems not really pocket-friendly , still yeah you can give it a try on the free version. let's see what this tool can do, anyway i can see that cointracking service has been here for long enough , see it here the official announcement https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=220238 there is a lot of good review over there though. |

It is no need to wait for the first two years for traders who will give up with trading, but they will stop trading in the first month if they cannot make any profit. Trading will be difficult for people who don't want to learn some basics of trading, but they will have a chance to get the profit for the first time they trade. Day trading will be more difficult because you need to search the potential coin to buy and sell, and the coin should have a good movement at the market. So why did 95 of traders fails is because they cannot learn more about trading, they follow other people suggestion without analyzing by themselves, they cannot manage how much money they should use for trading.
one month quit is a coward move. those who really want to get in the trading business will keep moving on no matter they hit by a consecutive losses, meanwhile you learn from that losses you need to read books more, that is the key besides the patience which everyone have but can not do it. the failure root come from the impatience i must agree with this, in the real trading business psychology takes a key role to affects any decision you'll go for, those who think & analyze with a cold head will get the profit as a rewards. and then the next step after you successfully go through the psychological matters , you need to maintain the trading profit steadily, you need to be disciplined , this is the biggest challenge that every trader faced and mostly failure to make it. that is why any survey giving that percentage, as human nature is to being impatience & undisciplined all the time, a perfect match. |

As the article you have linked states, paper currency is predominantly favored by the elderly. They don't trust banks, but it's not for the reason we don't trust banks. We know that banks are centralized, self serving, privacy invading leeches who print money out of nothing to line their own pockets whilst ripping off their clients. The elderly generally don't trust banks because so much of banking is done online now. They don't believe the numbers on the screen because they don't understand technology or computers, and so they opt for the medium they have used for the majority of their lives - physical cash. The younger generation are the opposite. I couldn't tell you the last time I bought something for actual cash. I have a few bills in my wallet just in case, but I've carried the same bills around for months. All my fiat spending is done via card. Cash may see the odd surge here and there because of the banking crisis, but by and large, it is on the way out. But people have to believe that electronic money will be safe from mismanagement, man-made disasters, hackers and even confiscation. I found this line interesting. You can never be sure that your fiat stored in banks is going to be safe from either mismanagement or confiscation. Once you hand your money over to a bank, you have no control how they invest or lend it out to others, and they also maintain the power to freeze your assets if they don't like something you are doing. Only being your own bank with bitcoin can provide this safety. that is really true the elderly have no idea what we have developed during this years to switch the old fashion transaction digitally. they are mostly fear to even try new things, we can not blame about this. those who have no trust in banks sometimes based on their experience storing money in the bank and having problem to cash all the money out as the bank ask too many questions why they want to cash the money out etc, they feel it is unecessary and uncomfortable for them especially for those who need that money urgently. i still confident that more than 25% the total transaction around the world is already made digitally/cashless . i can not find any data or survey about this cashless society around the world, if someone have / found it , you can share it here please. |

There is only one legit altcoin bounty in a hundred right now. That is the truth. Sometimes, I am really discouraged to exert more effort and push for an extra mile promoting your project when you can see little effort from the developers or even the bounty managers themselves. The project that I am promoting currently, for example, is a great project as far as my personal judgement is concerned. But then it also is extending, late spreadsheet update, just like the rest.
yes it has been a public secret that the projects created lately is just for the sake of money grabbing from random investors which means the altcoin bounty itself is nowhere but ended scam at once. i see there is a lot of projects that actually looks like one man job project raising hundreds even millions dollar fund because of the bitcointalk successfull campaign, the actual is that they have no team working on it, no real product and nothing as result let everyone down, stupid scammer. there is a bounty manager who holding an important role to prevent these scam project spreading around the forum. they should have a procedure to select which one deserve to manage and which one is garbage. maybe we have seen it done by a bounty manager like lauda and hhampuzz , my respect for both for the effort. |

my friends lost his coins from offline wallet when he was chatting online on facebook messenger
sure he can't restore his coin
so how can protect offline wallet ?
I still don’t get the correlation between chatting on Facebook and someone loosing offline wallet, the only way it would even have been possible is on online wallet, except maybe during the cause of the chat, he must have been carried away with the woman he was chatting with lol, and then exposed his password and his private keys to the person which should have been kept as secret, or could it be that he visited a site that had malware and them got installed on the computer which was able to give them access to the offline wallet. The best way he can protect his offline wallet is to have it in a gadget he will not be using to visit all these websites, or just make use of hardware wallet like NANO because those are still the ones that can actually give him the safety that he needs and even at that, he needs to be careful of the information that he gives out when having chat with someone irrespective of how close the person is. we all do confused by the case that op tried to elaborate. it is just non sense with that short unfinished story, or maybe i suspect that he has problem in his english, no wonder. an offline wallet like paper wallet seems easier to use and cost not as much as hardwallet like the ledger NANO , trezor , keepkey etc. which one op used? we have no idea and guess i think he is just using paper wallet . however i think op did not responded anymore to this thread meanwhile let's report to mod to lock this thread and if someone interested to create a thread about how to maintain/keep an offline wallet secure, would be great , i maybe making one later. |

I wonder if Visa would be able to compensate these unauthorised purchases?
It's not up to Visa to compensate people, but the card issuer, (in BitPay case, the Metropolitan Commercial Bank) or BitPay itself. But I doubt Visa or the MCB got exploited, otherwise it would be all over the news already. Knowing BitPay has been hacked perhaps 3-4 times already I wouldn't be surprised if the breach comes from their system again even if BitPay does not hold the card number. Wait some hours and be sure it will hit Coindesk and co.  i'm leaving bitpay already since they often changing the policy , i don't like it especially when they finally require KYC. that is a move that killing the business and now we have seen a couple times they hit by security breach , i'm watching them since 2018 where copay -a wallet developed by bitpay- was infected by malicious code. even i think since 2015 bitpay several times facing lawsuit problem. i don't want to speculate here but it is my personal decision that bitpay is sucks , i have no trust on them anymore. too much security breach they faced in the last couple years , yes i know nothing can be free from any security breach but a multiple times like this is just something to me. |

First we need to always knowledgable and have a continues learning to become motivated. Being knowledgeable about bitcoin is easier and more simpler than going for altcoins which done reveal what they are doing and dont have enough of a marketplace to sell their service. In other terms those which do not have a sustainable market of their own are easy to detect and not invest in. And last one is avoid too much greed because it will drives you going to loss. I think greed has an importance but the more important thing is the FOMO. People need to stop getting FOMO over some coins. Do not buy at the all time high. If you feel a certain coin is worth putting money in watch it for when it does go down and not go up, because once its up it will be dumped hard. Watch them like a hunter preys its food. Pounce on them when they are weak.  even though it doesn't guarantee you anything even you are knowledgeable at least that is better as the starter. experience is everything in this trading business and to gain the experience -as everything has a beginning before it turns experienced- just do it ! execute more important rather than thinking too much , sometimes it even makes you stepping back doing it. you can learn more when things has been running, don't scared to fail. i learned a lot from the mistakes that i made in trading and it makes the better version of me after that. the real learning is through experience, even if you bought it on the all time high which it is really a big mistake but in the next days , next time you will become a better trader as you have gained experience. |

There is always someone who periodically proposes some "bitcoin bank" without realizing that it is a contradiction in terms: at a certain point, one's Bitcoin account is in fact a bank, so it is not clear why the banks should to intervene.
then we must educate them about these two different things that contradict each other. centralized vs decentralized , will both ever united as one? of course not. the idea about cryptobanks is a little bit strange as it is about to mixing two clear different economy concept. the one wanted to control over your financial and the other wanted to make things fair mathematically through blockchain technology and its products called cryptocurrency. crypto let you manage your financial as you wish , banks won't let you do that. it could be different story if banks adopted blockchain technology to proccess transaction there more efficiently for example. |

Patient is the master key here. Don't just rush into any bull trap move. Bitcoin is volatile and let's wait until the move is natural.
and what is the metric of the natural move you talk about? i don't see there is any metric for that , the fluctuations is here to ride for those who really know how to take an advantage of it will laugh at this as they short it out and making money while we are talking endless about the fluctuations itself. feel free to just sit and watching but don't cry later at the time when the move is unstoppable and people like you guys become more confused than before. i prefer make a quick move spontaneously of course not based on speculative way which could be called as FOMO. observe everything and don't miss chance by chance by too long making decisions. motionless/reactless will get you nothing. |

I wonder if this is true. Articles I've found also use this Twitter account as their source. It's really hard to tell what China would and wouldn't do at this point. It would also be interesting how people would react to censorship if it (potentially) favors them lol. Only when China allows local exchanges to operate again, I'll believe in their technocratic blockchain crap.
In the end, it's contradictory to promote blockchain while refraining projects from raising funds from investors.
Well, China is a world of contradictions...
They do allow OTC exchanges, which is something I suppose. And the only (or at least largest) reason they banned regular exchanges is to curb capital outflows, or so they say. I do wonder why Xi himself would publicly come out in support of blockchain tech, but we can only assume they have something big in the works. I don't think it will be good for Bitcoin. haha lol such a clown hypocrite they say A today and the next day say Z. that is what will happened to anybody who thinks and acts aggresively like what china did to ban the whole thing involved bitcoin/cryptocurrency few years ago but in the end they found it something interesting recently and decided to make a bold announcement through their number 1 man in china Xi Jinping. i don't know if it was a drama made by them , but yes i think china is well known making contradictive policies all the time. intentionally? i think so , some people think china is pretend to be fool but the actual it is just the part of unusual politics strategy, yes politics! don't call me non sense please , you can read tons of conspiracy theory involved china all over the internet. |
