it is possible I guess ..but you going to risk a lot ... basically going "all in" every trade ...
I would instead learn more about risk management, capital preservation, etc ...

I've just acquired the domain name BitcoinVirus.com. I didn't think there was such a thing, but the term seems to be being used to describe the ransomeware viruses that are demanding Bitcoin payments. Is this the case? or is there such a thing as a real Bitcoin virus?
you could use your domain to list all viruses that affects Bitcoin somehow like ransomwares, botnets, wallet stealers, etc .. it could be some kind of 'virustotal' for the bitcoin community ;-) my advice, don't sell it cheap ;-) |

Inspired by a book "The Datacenter as a Computer: an Introduction to the Design of Warehouse-scale Machines Synthesis Lectures on Computer Architecture" (isbn 9781598295566). I wonder if you fellows see bitcoin ecosystem as ... BTC is a huge computer ...   YES! BUT, the BTC doesn't stand for Bitcoin, it stands for Blockchain. The Blockchain is the "supercomputer". Seriously. Not Bitcoin. You are referring to Ethereum.
Ethereum provides templates of the Blockchain, for any person or organizaiton to levarge. Ethereum isn't the Blockchain, they're not the supercomputer, but they are making blockchain technology easier to access/use. They're selling supercomputers. Nonsense, blockchain is just a bunch of data, bitcoin still isn't a super computer, miners combined together could be, but they are already doing their job which is mining. ETH or BTC could not be used for anything other than issuing coins and processing transactions. according ETH creators, ETH is a Turing completeness[1] while Bitcoin’s scripting system was deliberately made to be not Turing-complete to protect the network’s peers from malicious and buggy code that could end up in an infinity loop or something ... I was using the term computing in a broad sense[2] ... remember that this things bellow are (on the textbooks) considered computers too[3] ...  Abacus  Joseph Marie Jacquard, who in 1801 made the 1st programmable loom, the basis for modern data computation. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness[2] A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out an arbitrary set of arithmetic or logical operations automatically [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computing_hardware |

Similar to tcp/ip packet TTL I guess ( Time to live - TTL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_to_live) As of Bitcoin Core 0.14.0, these are the ways a transaction can leave the mempool: The transaction was included in a block. The transaction or one of its unconfirmed ancestors conflicts with a transaction that was included in a block. The transaction was replaced by a newer version (see BIP 125). The transaction was at the bottom of the mempool (when sorted by fee per size), the mempool had reached its size limit (see the -maxmempool option), and a new higher-fee transaction was accepted, evicting the bottom. The transaction expired by timeout (by default 14 days after entering). Also, transactions that have left the mempool can always enter them again. For example, when they're part of the local wallet and get rebroadcast, or when they're received again over the network. Eviction does not imply a transaction is cancelled. Since Bitcoin Core 0.14.0, the mempool is saved to disk, so it persists across restarts. In earlier versions a restart would also result in a wiped mempool. source: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/46152/how-do-transactions-leave-the-memory-pool/46162#46162... |

Even in a dowtrend, traders can make money with day trading. In this case, the MACD helps.
I think it is easier for non-traders to understand the bull's logic (buy for 1, sell for 2) than bear's logic (sell for 2, buy for 1) ... |

Bitcoin is the 'Locomotive' of the crypto economy (about 50% of total crypto market capitalization) ... it is understandable that any rough movement in bitcoin community will affect the others blockchains. Trading is all about read the psychology of the crowd... since march of this year we been in a bull market up to $3000 (resistance line) ... I think now the smart money is cashing out and I have no idea where they going to invest their money ... bears are taking their profits... taking advantage of the political "problems" we are going through ... I'm not sure where I should draw my support line ... I'm expecting something around $1600 ...but by the end of the month we will see what bulls and bears are up to ... so be prepared I do agree with that technical analysis here ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmuYDpKV1Ksbut remember that different traders have different views about what they think the market looks like. On websites like tradingview you will see hundreds of charts and analysis often one contradicting another. So do your own research... it is a minus zero-sum game. and be prepared try to be on track ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k6I7NYvgIQ |

Just one question what is the author of this article high on weed, meth etc? This days people just want to get high and enjoy the popularity of Bitcoins. I think this is the quite high exaggeration at its best. I will be happy if it goes but then I feel it's highly doubtfull I think he may be written 5500 and added one zero by mistake that's what I can infer so far, let's see what others have to say. whenever price of bitcoin goes up everyone starts to bring out their big guns of speculation and call a different high number. some of them have some good points and some are just throwing numbers. haven't decided which one this is. but it is not a big thing really to doubt. bitcoin does have the potential of going that high. there is still the same limited number of coins available and the max amount has not changed  and demand is still rising for this limited supply. maybe few things gold will be useful for ... wedding rings, electronic circuits, tooth loss, etc ... the financial era is over  "Gold is a chemical element with symbol Au (from Latin: aurum) and atomic number 79. In its purest form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element" |

bitcoin mining is one of the best platforms regarding making money, day by day it is becoming a popular and profitable source of gaining profit. in India and China, bitcoin mining has gained huge popularity and many people are being involved in this section. bitcoin mining is the best possible stage to make double your capital within a short period of time.
Yup, totally true. The only dark side to mining is that you may risk spoiling your hardware (i.e. Overheating, or mining using laptop ). Also,if your country's electricity bill is relatively high, your rewards from mining may not be enough to cover the bill. Thats how Bitcoin works. It rewards users (or machines) with Bitcoin for their computational power to verify transactions and to discover new blocks. The higher the price of Bitcoin, the higher the miner fees, and miners would get even more rewards, in additional to the 25 BTC per block found. I am not so sure about how profitable mining is right now, but if you do not have a specialized BTC miner like ASICs, then do not try and mine with your regular computer and laptop, you might explode them. (the dark side) I think the equation to measure the mining profitability today is not much more different that the modern datacenters ...  |

I really like Gekko bot. It is open source, easy to configure and .. Automated trading (trade bot) Paper trading (for TA strategies) Backtester (for TA strategies) Tool for systematic trading Low level market libraryMonitor the live market Import historical market data Broadcast market data over pubsub messaging systems Web interface as well as a commandline interface https://gekko.wizb.it/docs/introduction/about_gekko.htmlhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=209149.0if you are familiar with TA-Lib ( http://ta-lib.org/function.html ) you can really make most of it ... I use gekko only to send me sms to my mobile, when Gekko catch the trading signal from my strategy, then I go to my desktop to double check the signal and then place my trade manually ... it is good for inter-day trading ... not recommended for scalping ... |

I would like to ask ... what will be your position during segwit activation ? and why (opcional) ? poll options (3 votes per user, run poll for 30 days, allow user to change vote, Only show the results after someone has voted.) From the book "Trading for a Living" by Alexander Elder Chapter 2
Mass Psychology
What Is Price?
Traders can be divided into three groups: buyers, sellers, and undecided. Buyers
want to pay as little as possible, and sellers want to charge as much as possible.
Their permanent conflict is reflected in bid-ask spreads.
A trade occurs when there is a momentary meeting of two minds: an eager bull
agrees to a seller’s terms and pays up, or an eager bear agrees to a buyer’s terms and
sells a little cheaper.
The presence of undecided traders puts pressure on bulls and bears. Buyers and
sellers move fast because they know that they’re surrounded by a crowd of undecided traders who may step in and snatch away their deal at any moment.
The buyer knows that if he thinks too long, another trader can step in and buy
ahead of him. A seller knows that if he tries to hold out for a higher price, another
trader may step in and sell at a lower price. The crowd of undecided traders makes
buyers and sellers more willing to deal with their opponents. A trade occurs when
there is a meeting of two minds. |

We are already in July and August 1 is coming...the day when Segwit would start signalling for all and what will happen after this date is something many fear of. Will there be a split and what will happen on the split?
I have already read some assurance that at the current rate things are doing, the possibility for a split is getting remote. Maybe the overarching interest of all stakeholders has already dawned to many.
This is very simple thing , you should think that lot of amount of the Bitcoin are hold by the owner of the Bitcoin , so what will happ if the network of the blockchain will face problem , I mean we don't need to worry much about this , and instead of this some preacuation should be taken by us . 1) Before 1 August transfer your all Bitcoin at the blockchain wallet . 2) If you have Bitcoin then transfer only Bitcoin to your address of blockchain also . 3) don't make transaction like things from any of the Bitcoin wallet . 4) Make backup of your wallet of the blockchain before the 1 August . If you will do these things , then I don't think that you need to worry anything ways , because you are in official ways and platform and nothing is problem in the official wallets  if you are bitcoin trader you should be scare to the bone ... I mean what would be the scenario in case of a lot of users withdraw their btc from the exchanges ?? ... Thinking a bit more about fundamentals and leaving my technical analysis astrology aside ... My feeling is that the market will be bearish ... but in fact I fell like that little girl  I'm scare to the bone to the bone this month ... I expect bitcoin price crash .. or it is just my wishful thinking to buy cheap btc  ... ed;typo |

Hi guys,
it's impossible for internet to be decentralized unless you want every single household to own a server
Fellows, instead focus on the device itself we really should give more attention to the data itself ... I would bet all my btc on these keywords:://networking theory//Content centric networking//Information-centric networking I will try to write down some of my thoughts relating networking and what we are learning about bitcoin economy gears (solution for classic computation problem, the byzantine general problem)  |

So my initial plan was to invest more into bitcoin on a weekly basis but with the possibility of a split on August 1st I figured I'd wait a little. If there would be a split, there would certainly be a drop in price so maybe a good opportunity to pick some more up rather than doing it now. Normally I tend to make these kind of decisions for myself but since I don't fully understand what will happen August 1st I figured this would be the best place to ask.
On 1st August there will be a User activated soft fork occurring, you can go into more detail at http://www.uasf.co/. It is rumoured though that a bunch of companies will try to initiate hard forks of bitcoin as well. I believe bitmain says that it's going to go about mining its own coin after the UASF if it is successful(correct me if i'm wrong), and bitcoin unlimited has majority miner support but a lot less nodes signalling support. If i were you i would probably sell half my stash right now and then buy back when the panic sets in on or before 1st August. It's probably overhyped at the moment, and i'm sure a lot of people will panic and don't know what to do. Then, you can buy some cheap coins in either way I hope people have some fun ...  |

just to put things in perspective .. Satoshi holds 6.4% of all bitcoin in currently in circulation source: http://uk.businessinsider.com/satoshi-nakamoto-owns-one-million-bitcoin-700-price-2016-6even less than Bill Gates Microsoft shares exit plan. Gates, who owned 49 percent of Microsoft before it went public in 1986, sells about 80 million Microsoft shares a year under a pre-set plan, which if continued would leave him with no financial stake in the company by 2018.... giving up his day-to-day work there in 2008 to focus on the $38 billion Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation...Gates owns about 4.5 percent of the $277 billion company and is its largest individual shareholder. sources: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-microsoft-gates-idUSBREA410YS20140503http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/01/microsoft-gates-resignation-investors_n_4026506.htmlso .. I guess if Satoshi adopt a similar exit plan .. bitcoin will survive ... ps-> regards Finney and the "fan noise" ... some how reminds me the book "Datacenter as Computer" ... A datacenter is a building (or buildings) designed to house computing and storage infrastructure
in a variety of networked formats. Its main function is to deliver the utilities needed by housed
equipment and personnel: power, cooling, shelter, and security. By classic defnitions, there is little
“work” produced by the datacenter. Other than some departing photons, the remainder of the
energy is exclusively converted into heat. Te delivery of input energy and subsequent removal of
waste heat are at the heart of the datacenter’s design and drive the vast majority of costs. Tese costs
are proportional to the amount of power delivered and typically run in the $10–20/Watt range (see
Section 6.1) but can vary considerably depending on size, location, and design. |
