Guys,

It is just me or others doesn't have the same anticipation on this fork as compare to Aug. 1?

The forum was full of anticipation on the Bitcoin Cash before, but I don't feel any with the Bitcoin Gold? Previously, I felt that the forum was lively and there's a lot of discussions on Bitcoin Cash before, and almost everyone is updating what's the current situation of the fork and what blocks are we before the fork. But with this Bitcoin Gold, all members just want to get this free coins and dump it hard. And some have even stay late to be part of history.

But why with this fork everyone is not excited?

China closing their doors on bitcoin is more of a political decision I think, they know that its growing and can't be controlled once it reached its peak, so its better to shot it down today when they still have a firm grip. But bitcoin and other countries think otherwise, like Japan you mentioned. They see a lot of positive benefits that it can bring to their country in terms of growth in economy. So it make sense for them to embrace bitcoin. There's really no way that a country can really stop what China or Russia is currently advocating against bitcoin.

Yes, if you lose your wallet together with your private keys, your bitcoins will be lost forever, in oblivion. However, there might be a chance to find the private key in the future once more sophisticated super computers can break and hack your wallet. And yes, as per supply and demand, with less the 2 million bitcoins to be mined, but the demand is even higher in the next 5 years, its pretty obvious that the current price can double or triple in the future.

Again, its really hard to predict if the market will fall or crash today. But it looks like there's another correction prior to October 25. For me its a normal process that bitcoin market undergoes. We still have a few days or hours before the looming fork, maybe investors are afraid of it or they are simply cashing out because the last few days we are reaching the highest price ever. And if ever the price will crash today, it will be just temporary and bitcoin will recovery again. No need to worry, just hodl on your coins and relax. And no need to panic sell as well.

Nah. Russia is looking foolish by every news coming from them regarding bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Everything coming from them always contradictory. That's why you have to take everything with a grain of salt. I will insists on my believed that they are really against crypto's and will be putting a ban hammer sooner or later. The way they contradict themselves is a sign that government policy is not align and favorable to cryptocurrency. Let's wait for a few days and you will hear another news coming from them saying crypto is bad and can't be controlled.

I'm sorry but bitcoin transaction is irreversible. There's no other way to refund it if that what's you mean. That's why we need to protect at the highest level our private keys because once we give it to a total stranger, your bitcoin is good as gone. Why does your friend trust a total stranger to begin with. I can't fathom that someone will totally divulge your private keys. And 2.6 BTC is damn high amount to be scammed. Its gonna be painful but let this be a lessons learn for you and your friend. That's why we always preached hear to protect your wallet and your private keys or seeds.

Looking back at the date of the OP's thread it is just over a month now. However, its no longer applicable because bitcoin has already forgotten all the negative things behind like the China news and the Dimon attack. Although sometimes its so funny how people have doubted bitcoin when theirs such a crisis. So for those who have read the thread, my advise is not to panic and fell anxious when things didn't went our way. Just remember that bitcoin has proven its resiliency and there's no need to question or even doubt for a minutes. If you have follow and look for other investment back then, I assumed you have regretting that decision by now.

Use this website to guide you on what fee's you need to make : https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

However, if you try to used lower fee, you might have to wait a little longer to see the incoming bitcoins to your wallet. Electrum has built in features to adjust you fees, usually I pay in the next 10 blocks. .10 cents is not worth it though, you need to pay a decent fee mate, otherwise you will be frustrated because the miners might not pick up your transaction because the fees are too little.

I still remember Qtum in February I think when it went up and it was one of the best during that time and a lot of hype surrounding it. However, there was a lot of accusations and I'm not sure how do the team weathered the storm. And then it was a roller coaster ride since then. But I do believed that the coin is not a scam and the team behind has worked hard to reach this far. And yes, I agree that it is not a Ethereum killer but rather a project can co injects something in the ecosytem.

Yes, it worth investing. You can join their Telegram:

And if you are interested in buying their tokens. Just registered to their site and will start on the 24th. I'm also really looking for this project because its really promising and gaining a lot of hype outside our community.

Then we have to worry once we get there. And thanks for being happy for reaching $6000 and we are all happy as well. But we are not worried for the crash. We know the risk that's why we have taken it and it looks like it been a gamble that have payed already. We have already a lot of discussions about Ether and it looks like its not even closer to its previous highs. It can't even go to $400 levels now. You don't you worry about the crash in 2018 or even in the future. And I'm sure if even bitcoin crash, Ether will crash first before bitcoin.

Good decision for some Japanese exchanges to announced early about the Bitcoin gold fork stance. It will still be under the radar and they seems to be on a wait and see stage. Although of course we all want to get this free coins but if it not stable then how can the exchange support it? I also admire that it will just take 1 week to make a decision. Because I know a exchanges that took them 1 month to make decisions to support bitcoin cash before and up to know they are not yet giving the free coins to their customers. And now another fork is looming, so I think it will take time for this exchanges to make decisions regarding the support on Bitcoin Gold.

There's no surprise in the price of bitcoin because the market is based on pure speculation. Maybe today we have a breath of good news that's why the price is going up today, but a sudden negative publicity will turn the price red in matter of minutes or hours if investors panicked. So that's' one reason as to why the price moved so much. Then there also the basic economic law, supply and demand. If the supply is limited but the demand from the market is big, then it will moved the price as well, and so as the opposite, more supply less demand equals low price.

Basing on the graphs and market trends its really possible to hit $7K and the end of the year. There a looming fork in Nov I think it will contribute to the price going to that level. I think investors have fully trusted the system already, we are in a point that we need more people to come in and join the party so that we the price can be pushed further. In this scenario has be realized, then our future looks really bright $7k-$10k is within our hands. And if you look at all the market predictors, they are looking above $7K at the end of the month and starting 2018.

Wow what a prediction, 7000% increased is quite huge. Though I also never heard of Palm Beach confidential. Maybe they are just hyping the coins because they are a bag holder. Zen has been slumping so I don't know what is the future of this coins until I heard it from you. Well 1 to 2 years hodling is a really long time but if the predictions came true then you are all laughing and telling your self "I told you so" when withdrawing your funds. Unfortunately, I'm not jumping though, sorry but I have enough of crap lately from those bullish analyst that I would prefer to stick with bitcoin for now.

Its still trading above $5600 clear indication that the price is not going to increase, or if is going to, maybe just a couple of days before the actual fork similar to Bitcoin Cash. I think most of the traders have already cash-in during the slumping about a few days ago and then are not going back to the market but keep on watching it for possible opportunity to buy it at cheap and do shorting. Let's just enjoy the ride going on the hard and maybe just do a proper response to the market, (buy with their is a dip, hold when the price is going up.)

I think earlier years its really good to hold on your bitcoin because the price is not the spiking. But year-to-year, bitcoin has spike like 500% that's why its really hard to hold. Sometimes you need to cash out and take profit. Otherwise you won't realized your full profit and the real potential of your money.

I don't think you need to cut your losses if you are a hodler for a long time. But yeah, selling from time to time will also reignite the ecosystem and your coins in the circulation again and others will have the opportunity to get it some coins.

Maybe that is a good indicator that Link is really for long term hold. And if this news reaches new investors, then it can rebound and up in no time. Look at Stratis, when it partnered with IBM that price suddenly reaches new heights and those bagholders are all smiling cashing them out.


This is what I was meant. If these positive news quickly goes up and it was exposed to different kind of investors. It will lure them up and invest on it. That's why we here have the chance to get in while the price is still down. Otherwise it will be late for most of us.

What kind of absurd idea is this? Bitcoin address is not and should not be tied to any names. That's how it was design and giving up your privileges for being pseudo-anonymous will not be good for you. Those proponent of this doesn't know a single thing about bitcoin. Actually this has been used by a lot of trading platforms, asking your data for KYC/AML compliant. That is if you are going to exchange your bitcoin to fiat. However, if you kept it in a wallet like Core or Electrum there should be name association. And this will not gain traction from the community. This is a bad idea to begin with.

At that time no one could predict has bitcoin would evolved. And he did the right thing, he used bitcoin as payment method to bought his favorite pizza. No one can question his decision on that. Yes, bitcoin has already surging however, his action wasn't wrong. And I don't know if he still made sudden appearance here, But I know the guy is now Legendary and maybe his action really push bitcoin one step further to what we are enjoying today.
