Anything is possible. Even if you are not into crypto. But you need to work your ass off before enjoying it. But the thing though with crypto is that if you are a long term holder, you don't need that much effort though, just mental toughness not to dump specially if the price is going down.


Why you need to spot them? I don't think that someone will just spill the beans and tell the world that they have millions of bitcoin. Its now a high risk, specially there has been reports that bitcoin holders now are being hold up at gun point and force to give up their private keys and their bitcoins stolen.

Unless you have super human powers to see the future, then yes its obvious that no own can predict it 100% with accuracy.


If you are a newbie, you will be affected by how the price moves downtrend, uptrend sideways. And the more they witness it the more they should understand that it how it was built to. And there can be so much opportunity a long the way, but you have to be careful and use common sense before you really shell out your hard earn money for it. Because there's a big chance that you will lose it or there is a chance that you can make a significant financial gains.

Well what we are seeing might be attributed to the end of Chinese New Year. Because as you have said, in the last few weeks everyone is expecting that at end of the Lunar New Year, our Chinese friends will flock the market again. And lately though there was a downtrend that bottom bitcoin < $10K.

But right now it suddenly pick up and almost touching $11K. So for me it has something to do with the Chinese New Year. But the main question is if this sustainable or just a short term effect and we might see bitcoin going on another slide?

Payment received as well.

I don't think that bitcoin could possible drop to $1K levels because we have someone to back us up, that is Japan.

Plus, there are a lot of investors, big and small, financial institutions that has so much at stake and I don't think that they will simply allow the price to drop to that kind of levels.

But in any cases, it goes down to even below $1K, I think it can still survived, it might take that long though, but I don't think it will simply die a natural death.

I would like to quote Jack Ma about the poor people around the world:


I 100% agree with Jack Ma and I'm sure that it very applicable to this market as well. I also don't want to be rude here, but as so far as interacting with less fortunate, I have never seen anyone who has the mindset to even try to alleviate their life eventhough you have given them a lot of opportunities. They will have thousand of excuses on their body. So I don't think that exposing  them to digital world would do any better, in fact they will resist it at any cost.

Any chance that you will put funds as escrow as protection to your user? In case lets say that no funds where transferred to my address after using your services?

How many funds do you have currently in stock?

What separates you from other tumbling services like Chipmixer or CryptoMixer?

I just noticed that this thread was opened up during the height of the crypto frenzy in December so it makes sense about all the responses above.

But now with all the anti crypto sentiments prevailing now, we are now in a situation wherein we are having a hard time to soar once more.

I'm also very bullish about bitcoin and I think that there's a lot of room for the price to go up, but I say that we can't duplicate what we seen last year of December.

And we may not see the exponential growth as everyone is expecting to happen in 2018. Just be positive though that we can hit another all-time-high this year, at least $40K will be good enough for everyone, I guess.

December 2017 brought a lot of money in the market and make most of us millionaires. And so as the start of the year, everyone is thinking that they can repeat that performance sadly though bitcoin stumbled and up to know we are not bouncing as every is expecting.

Yes, the halving is another factor that can increase the price for this year together with Lightning Network's implementation. Of course every year all-time-high is being set. But it will take several months before we can see it. Right now its still below $10K, so I'm looking at above $10K as reasonable price at the end of the month.

100% agree. I don't know what's with the $12K barrier but it seems that its really really tough to go and break it. The highest peaked that I witness is around $11.7 and then the market goes into another pirce correction, but this time its worst. The last 3 corrections, we end up well above $10K, but now, that barrier was also broken so I'm expecting that's it will be a slow and long way up to $11K again.

Yes, the support currently is strong at $9K but honestly, I don't think it can hold up and as per TA it can go as low as $8.8. Let's say that it should be another good buying point for all of us if the price goes that low.

I really don't know if this is one effective way to get women in crypto's though. Its like in the beginning of the Computer Science courses in the beginning, all men. But soon women join in, tipping the balance that why today we have seen top women in the field of IT industry.

And how can it attract if some of the women hired are college interns? Isn't it they should get someone with higher knowledge on cryptoverse?

I think sooner or later women will also join the bandwagon whether in blockchain technology development or crypto itself. Let's give enough time for them to mature and see how crypto is profitable in the long run.

Ethereum transaction is very fast so for me its safe to store your tokens in my MEW instead of just let it sit on my trading exchange account. I will only transfer my tokens when I'm ready to sell it and I don't think that you need to wait that long.

Yes, its very safe as long as you do the proper way on how to protect your account. I would deal on that deeper, I think it been preached hundred of times already.

So its up to us, how responsible we are in protecting our MEW accounts. If your account has been hacked or leaked and you lost everything. There's no one to blame but yourself.

More of a market correction for me. Crashing is when the price plummeted more than 40% which we witnessed in January and early February. But since then we bounce back above $11K and then when into another correction below $10K.

I guess everyone by now should embrace how the market moves. Its very volatile and just 1 negative news is enough to ripple and cause a lot of negative effect.

But then again, no one has really thought that around $20K is possible, but we did it last year. Maybe this year around, we might not gain that much, but I'm pretty sure that we can go touch a new all-time-high of above $20K.

You can't blame them. And as far as I know cold or offline storages are good if you stash huge amounts of bitcoin. But for a common and casual traders, it makes sense to store small amounts in desktop wallet or even in an exchange. But we all know hackers are really that good and it seems they always found vulnerabilities that they can exploit anytime, just like what happened to CoinCheck hack.

So the best thing for us is to be very protective of our accounts. I'm sure that we all heard howr to secure it, but most of us are not really doing good because thousand or even millions of dollars are lost to the hackers.

Here's is the latest court cases against a trading platform for lying about a hack.

And then the (in)famous Mt. Gox hacked.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-4683466/MtGox-CEO-goes-trial-Japan-missing-Bitcoins.html

Mark Karpeles, pleading not guilty.

But as what other posters have said, it's not against bitcoin per se, but exchanges, involving bitcoins. There are hundred of such cases around the world.

As far as traditional actors, well crypto is decentralized, there's no one authority above it that can oversee it. And don't be surprised about how European Banks is against crypto, because they are really afraid how disruptive it can bring to their economy, but in a positive way.

China doesn't like it because according to them its disruptive to their economy. But I don't know if there's truth on it or not. However, if you look at the Zimbabwe and Venezuela crisis, bitcoin has help a lot of their citizens to survived in those trying times. They used bitcoin to hedge their wealth (Store of Value) and then buy things outside.

As for China, let's forgot about them. They already cause so much control. They suddenly turn their backs on us. Only thing that they are still relevant because of their monopoly of the bitcoin mining farm. But when the government started to clamp it as well, then its obvious that they will move it somewhere and then there are other farms that might close, and its time for other countries like Japan's GMO to take the slack. So with that said, the monopoly of the Chinese miners will be lessen and in the future we will forgot all about the Chinese.

Nothing that I'm aware of. Maybe investors wants to cash out their profits and then there are traders who do short trading taking profits margin. We all know how the market is volatile, so we must take the opportunity of every dip to buy and accumulate bitcoin because we all know that the price can pick up anytime.


Not sure about the whales though and I don't think that they want to manipulate at this levels.


Exactly, as much was we wanted to see the bulls running again, time and time again we stumble to such market corrections, but we all know what going to happen after such corrections. We need patience and waited it out, buy more and then see how it goes in the long run.

There can be challenges along the way, but certainly it will not die down as what doomsayers are telling us. It still dominates the market above 30% so that alone proves that it still has the full support of the people.

Last year alone proves that it will never die specially when we peaked at around $19K, maybe we are down right now, but not out by a long shot. And there are anti-bitcoin all over, but it is so resilient with such attacks. Short term it can have negative impact on the price, but rest assured that in the long run, bitcoin will grow exponentially.

The whole crypto is down, including Ethereum and Bitcoin so I guess the only logical explanation is just investors are dumping as this very moment. So we have to look at it at the long term.


Of course we know that the market is unstable. The problem is that there are a lot of people who expect too much, specially the bitcoin December frenzy and Etheruem November-January price jump.


Yes, its just a normal correction. Although its really painful that we have seen the market goes into a lot of it. Every few days, expect a dump. Maybe investors are not that willing to pour their money in the market.

Nah. I wouldn't follow and I don't take them seriously specially John McAfee although I must admit that he has build his empire from ground up but crypto sphere is a different kind of animal.

I still remember him claiming that his twitter account was hacked or something specially at the height of his "coin of the day" prediction. Lol.

Again, I'm asking where are these guys when bitcoin was still not mainstream? Do they really want to stay relevant that's why they ride the popularity of crypto's nowadays?
