There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

are you ready to go under 8000€ / BTC ?
SHUT YOUR FILTHY WHORE MOUTH !!!  are you ready to go under 8000€ / BTC ?
8k is old news. Now its 4-5k. RRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....go some pages behind to see that i asked the same for 9000 € if someone did listened to me and had a profit from my prediction send a tip ! my BTC address is on the left  OH? You are here to attempt to cause folks to follow your BTC price predictions and/or to receive (beg for) BTC "donations" in the process?  From this levels, only sell btc
You giving advices, newbie? If you think about it, BTC already had a bit more than a 50% price correction, and currently bouncing around the 35% to 45% territory. Seems like a good range to buy, rather than sell, but depends how many BTC you already have. I don't have any yet, but I will buy at a price 6700$. Good luck If you speak the truth, then it seems that you do not have too much positive view about bitcoin, so even if you do end up being able to buy BTC at $6700, it does not seem too likely that you will hold your BTC for very long. You do not seem to have much confidence in bitcoin, so good luck to yourself with those kinds of BTC bear views, unless you develop a come to Jesus moment.  I will continue with my buying on the way down system, and if BTC prices go down to $6,700 I will end up buying around $7k, and if they go to $6k, then I will buy there. My orders are already set down to $3k, yet I do not believe my orders at $8k or lower are likely to fill - even though previously, I had asserted that if we break below $10k (a couple weeks ago), then $8k becomes reasonable, and I suppose if we end up breaking below $8k, then $5k to $6k would become reasonable at that point. Currently, I see nothing wrong with preparing for BTC prices down to $5k or even below that, but it does seem unreasonable to prepare only in that one direction and even not to hold any BTC, currently. My opinion is that holding BTC right now is very risky. i hold some alts and EUR. ALL my BTC sold at 9000€ level and above that. Good luck to everybody! People have been proclaiming this kind of shit in the past couple of years all the way up from $250 to present, and they get especially self-righteous about their "get out of BTC" recommendations during BTC correction - which frequently have caused folks to engage in behavior that is the opposite of what they should be doing. So instead of buying BTC on dips, they end up selling their BTC (or a decent percentage of their BTC) at the bottom of said dips. Certainly sounds like a bad strategy to me to follow some bullshit like you are suggesting, especially since BTC prices have already corrected more than 45% in this particular dip, and also based on ongoing decent BTC fundamentals.... So really seems that folks should either be HODLing where they are at or buying more upon further dips, in the event that such further dips come.

Been following this thread with a smile on my face for a while now, -the best of your quotes, images and posts bundled would make a great book-, and there seem to be some pretty smart, very wise, highly experienced and extremely old BTC-guys hanging out here. Hopefully you are willing to advice; what do you foresee as the smartest USD/BTC price-range to buy the dip?
Sycophancy will get you nowhere  you must be one of the extremely old who likes his ass kissed FY Yefi is wise and insightful beyond his years. So you better watch yourself in terms of negative karma aimed in his direction.

whelp there it is, for better or worse I'm all in again
Not yet, not yet... . oh I hear you, but I'm trying to focus on making good trades, not great trades...taking emotion out and all that seems like every time I get nervous and pull an order, or worse, chase an executed order, I end up wishing I had not One of the nice things Honeybadger teached me is to not get nerveous... . Even after doing something stupid, in the rear view... .

Thanks JJG for your thorough answer on selling on the rise and buying on the decreases!
I am also in an accumulation phase right now. The bottom line for me is that I'm long-term for this market, and my goal is just to accumulate as much coin as possible, despite price movements (though it can seem quite fruitless when your portfolio value drops in the short term, despite your accumulation).
Believe me, I can relate to folks who consider themselves to be in a BTC accumulation stage under current BTC price conditions because I was in a similar situation (pickle) in late 2013 and through 2014. In retrospect, some folks may argue that I was more fortunate in my position and situation because BTC prices went down throughout a vast majority of that whole 2014 period, yet the truth of the matter remains that no one really knew where or when BTC prices would bottom, and such downward and flat BTC price performance did persist during a large majority of 2015, too. During my 2014 BTC accumulation phase, I did not sell any BTC, and even though I considered myself to largely be out of my BTC accumulation phase by the end of 2014, yet it still took me nearly another year (until the end of 2015) before I started to sell some of my BTC and to take a more sophisticated approach to my BTC holdings that was more focused on maintenance, even though it also allowed for continued accumulation, too. Sometimes, it is also easier to describe what is happening in retrospect, and by the way, I have a "friend" who is just entering into BTC, and who does not have a lot of money nor a lot of BTC. That friend is considerably in a BTC accumulation phase that could take a few years to play out because that person is much younger than me, and by the time I got into BTC, I already had accumulated quite a bit of capital in other areas. Anyhow, for my friend, I am attempting to suggest to buy on the way down and sell on the way up, which would be attempting to employ a more sophisticated than what I had done for myself 3-4 years ago. Therefore, in this newly applied case, the buy on the way down is way more lopsided than the sell on the way up - which means that the attempt at that system buys way more BTC on the way down than it sells on the way up. Therefore, the selling of BTC on the way up remains small, but allows getting into a kind of practice to prepare for both ways and to attempt to take advantage of BTC's largely anticipated and continued price volatility. Therefore, such lopsided accumulation of BTC practice that allows for selling too is more sophisticated than a buy only strategy, while still attempting to focus on and prioritize BTC accumulation.

These are the bad posts, jbreher.  Aw, darn. But are they really? I'll try the homespun solution, install docker and all.
I'd be interested in your Internet bandwidth consumption, should you be wiling to share. I will post some data, but don't hold your breath. I'll need some free time to install the thing - starting with Docker - and some more to figure out how to measure LN's bandwitdh tax unbundled from bitcoind's base requirements. Got any suggestions? I dunno.... filter a wireshark dump of all port 8333 traffic? Wild speculation. I don't know how LN comms are routed within the host networking layer. Now we get to the "bad boy" part. My (perhaps flawed) understanding is that in the current implementation, all nodes broadcast all channel state changes to all other nodes. This is necessary, of course, as nobody yet knows how to do decentralized permissionless anonymous path route discovery.
That's incorrect. Nobody yet knows how to do decentralized permissionless anonymous OPTIMAL path route discovery. Heuristic methods with stored forward tables do work reasonably well. Several mesh-like networks work, without a single tear about being suboptimal. Well, yes. If everyone broadcasts every state change to everyone else... but that's not much of a workable solution, is it? Actually, it sounds an awful lot like the 'solution' I described. For those playing along at home, you'll no doubt note that (should my understanding be correct), BW consumption scales at O(n^2).
I'm sure it will improve when the routing invention breakthrough occurs.
Of course - the clueless developers! D'oh, what an unforgivable oversight! The system they implemented is doomed. They chose the SAN (Spam All Network) algorithm for both route discovery and node state update. They slept during their networking lessons, or was it calculus? So they failed to notice that bandwidth grows quadratically with the number of nodes. This way, it's almost as bad as if one increased the block size. But who would ever think of that? Hyperbole duly noted. Be that as it may, do you have any evidence that suggests that my understanding is incorrect? Out of sarcasm: I'll never believe the protocol broadcasts data mindlessly.
Who are you gonna believe? Me or your lying eyes? (IOW, from what you write, I cannot see that you know any different)

That's a pretty solid analysis (bookmarked), $55K is a very realistic prediction. I would only assume that at the end of 2018 $55K wouldn't have been to all time high but still a very good price estimation. At the end of the day it's still educated guessing but it was refreshing to see a HQ price analysis based on raw math. Indeed. We may need to temper expectations due to what seems to be a potential emerging halvening cycle. IOW, perhaps a completely random sampling of the daily returns is useful for predictions below a four-year-ish granularity. Though this could easily be offset by the first inlking of widespread, news-cycle driven FOMO.

No shit! We haven't been this low in... in... ...oh... ...about two months. Nevermind. It's a higher low than the drop to four digits last week. This time last year I was ecstatic it had gone above $1000. I can live with a crash to 10x that price this year.

Here is a prediction: Bitcoin is going to crash in about one hour, hodl on to your butts!
Disclaimer: I reserves the right to make (at least) a thousand more "Bitcoin is going to crash" predictions in the near future.

Dammit that’s much better than mine. You win.
na not mine go on anyway Knock knock? who's there? Satoshi Satoshi who? Craig Wright If Craig Wright is Satoshi (or part of that group of three with hal finney and the other guy..both that have passed away) and there is a BTC Trust he can get a hold of worth Billions on Jan 1st 2020 as he claims...well, he is gonna flush a lot of BTC and watch us burn, for how he sees his treatment by BTC community and the press.... he currently has some folk convinced that he is Satoshi and patenting blockchain and everything else he can try to do (on the assumption he can prove he is satoshi IF the trust is real and he has access) only a 1 out of 20 chance IMHO, of this being true....but that is my Bitcoin Boogman Senario...(hell, after Trump became President of the USA...all unlikely things in my mind now are now possible) shudder!

Yeah he is definately Satoshi. Instead of buying a Lambo, he just rents one. Because when you got so much money... why buy when you can rent since it costs more.
