It appears they had some glitch around 7pm (GMT).

BTC balance not updating after a trade. Are there anyone else with similar issues or it's just me?

Support site also looks (half)dead. If I want to submit a new ticket it drops me back to the login page after clicking "submit" instead of opening the ticket :/.

Sooner or later surely, the only question is that if you can lass that long after selling all your stuff. At least HODL a few tins of baked beans .

That was the Gox pump and price dropped badly when Gox went out of business with half of all the BTC on the market.

If you take a look at the historical BTC/USD charts you will see that January was always a bumpy month in the last few years. Price used to start increasing around mid/late February, but sometimes in only in March.

Altcoin prices are still dependent on BTC price. When BTC is on the bull run all alts following, if BTC goes down everything else will go down in the same fashion. So that loss of dominance isn't happened yet. At some point it undoubtedly will happen but not now.

Thank you for your opinion Vladimir21. You know I've been trading/investing since 2012, and not this is the first bloodbath what I seen here, also I've seen similar opinions many, many times (basically after each massive price drop), but BTC still here and every year worth more and more.

Alts are around some time and kept sucking Bitcoins blood but as I see still BTC rules them all and in the meantime it keeps growing, while some of those bloodsuckers grown to things what might change banking and finance sometimes in the future.

I don't think it will die. We are talking about global P2P networks. Governments can make as much regulations as they want but they do not have the means to enforce those rules and regulations without investing into a huge "global coin surveillance network" or seriously interfering with basic human rights. The only thing what they can regulate is cashing out for fiat.

Like central banks? I don't think so. We have a 21million cap. Also miners not printing money, they buying/developing/manufacturing hardware, using their own electricity, processing transactions and keeping the network alive, then get paid for that. This guy obviously have little idea about how crypto working.

As long as e.g. OpenBazaar or Waves are there, this isn't really an issue. How China planing to deal with P2P networks with embedded distributed exchanges ?

We've got too many "professional traders" from the stock/forex markets recently. These guys are still thinking in stock/forex terminologies and they believe that a state ban is something like the end of the world. SK banning BTC trade? Actually who cares? There are plenty of other exchanges. All states across the world banning all crypto trade? Who cares? We can switch to one of the existing distributed marketplaces and all the governments across the world can roll their bans into nice tight and hard paper rolls and go to fck each other or themselves with it. This is the nice part of crypto, governments have no way to control your money.

A trading bot, some good picks of altcoins for daytrading and some conservative(ish) trading strategy can give such results, but it would be still rather far from being safe.

The only viable way to tax transactions would be attaching taxes at the miners. I'm just curios how an European or even the US government want to persuade miners outside of their jurisdiction to use their software what doing the taxation? Also if I'm a Hungarian citizen on what grounds let's say the US or the Chinese govt would want to collect tax from me?

How govts would do that? Will police visit every home across the world searching for mining software and check every USB stick and pice of paper after cold wallets ? How they are planning to deal with decentralized exchanges?

If you hand over your software and licenses as collateral, how do you want to run your casino? Perhaps you might want to support your claims about being in the gambling industry for years with something factual. What casino sites you run?

Premined scam coin . Anyway I haven't seen the ANN topic here in the Altcoin section...

I'm also accepting donations loans. For 1 BTC I can promise you eternal life (+ 3 additional days per every additional 0.01 BTC), or 4 pints of free beer every day forever from the 1st of February . For higher amounts I can make really elaborate custom promises tailored right for you. Anyone interested ?

LOL . How much the Turkish government paid for this "opinion"? Religious figures should do their job and deal with prayers and sould instead of messing with money.

The royals bringing a lot of money via tourism, collectibles and all sorts of trinkets. Their yearly "turnaround" makes 1.5-2 times what the tax payers spending on them. Also they are very popular all across the world and used to serve well the interests of the UK and British businesses. Such "brand endorsement" is not something what you can easily quantify, but still there.

A few more things:

- The monarchy gives the feeling of tradition and continuity. Most people like that. 70-80% percent of the UK population is still in favour of the monarchy.
- Presidents also cost a ton of money without any positive effect as they are just party politicians, so nobody give a shit about them.
- During her long reign the Queen amassed an unparalleled amount of experience and knowledge about what happened/happening in the world. This knowledge is available for all UK prime ministers.

The rest looks OK .

Got the tokens. Thanks.
