free electricity

Well that's only in China ... but the west is not free electricity ... and the west will crave demand if the coin tap stops.

Beetcoins are fungible, the ones mined in China are no different from the ones mined in the west...

If you think the Great Chinese Communist Party does not keep tabs, regulate and makes regular audit production performance of each Bitcoin mining farm... you must be delusional!!!

They might fool them for 10-15% of their coins... but if they don't allow the outflow of coins out of their country... the west can't do sh!t about that. They have one of the most numerous police/military human resources on the planet, they will spy and protect the sh!t out of their assets for the greater good of their economic prosperity!

Don't even know where to start with this ...
1. Ahm gonna make a wild stab here -- you're a kid? 15 to 18? How many years am I off by?  
2. Chinese government keeping or not keeping tabs on miners: irrelevant. China is where mining happens.
3. What does "allow the outflow of coins out of their country" mean? Are you talking about port-forwarding all port 8333 traffic here?

4. Why would Chinese commies not want to sell beetcoin tokens, made out of thin air and surplus electricity, into IRL American $$$?
5. Do you understand how beetcoin works? Do you understand how mining works?
6. RU BMB/USB-somethig_or_other? If so, step up ur gayem pl0x.

Because of (4.) they may allow some corruption and leeway for the miners! ...

But yes... (6.) as I said they can trick the Chinese government smuggling equipment in remote places to mine coins! And they can also scheme them to not be transparent enough and make 10-15% from their total Bitcoin production and on some devices smuggle them out of the country and make the drop from an offshore account & profit!

And I'm just telling you that the communist ideology is a "share the love & share the pain" type of game. So if they make huge profits... for that free electricity. The Chinese gov will not allow them to be capitalist pigs! .. Ok? Sounds solid?


So basically... in conclusion... the West is f%&#*@ !!! We are at the mercy of the Chinese soon enough!

Subpar. Like playing in a shitty noise band.



Just embarrassing

I actually don't trade Bitcoin anymore because it's not volatile enough

lol?

on a regular day you might see a top of $500 and a bottom of $490 for example

that's only $10 difference on $500 which is a small difference (2%) and it's hard to make profit from that, especially after fees. And a lot of the time the price doesn't even reach the daily top or bottom so the spread is even less.

Then change the exchange???  For example there are some with no transaction fees. ( but they might require more paperwork and might not be so anonymous )

If beetcoin isn't volatile enough for you, you aren't using enough leverage.

It's not like "IRL American $$$" don't come into existence from ...thin air. Post-gold-standard $$$ are a paper scam.

At least btcs are backed by energy and other mining costs.

Today I got my father to invest in BTC, instead of one the things his money was in, which was yielding a whopping 1,7% a year. Only thing is, it'll take a week to free his money and get it to Kraken. Problem with that is, BTC will probably be 10% higher by that time. So a kind request to NLC and the sockpuppet accounts that belong to the same person(s) to PLEASE put in a decent effort the coming week. You're not paid for nothing! Posting the same old pics of chinamen and my little ponies is NOT HELPING AT ALL. Please just put in a serious effort for one last week. Thank you.

it's not even worth the risk of trading for a profit that small. Not even with 0 fees.

$9 or even $10 billion marketcap is nearlly pennies in today's world.

It's a very tiny marketcap really.

True. If ETH continues performing as well as it did in the first half of 2016, it will surpass it by 2017. By a wide margin

O.k.  Assmaster... at this price point, if you are trying to figure out where to put your life savings of $50,000, and your three investment options are dollars, bitcoin and ethereum.  If your timeline is 5 years and then you will gain access to your investment, how you going to apportion that?  

I would probably put 95% in bitcoin 4% in ethereum and 1% in dollars, and that is being generous to those other investments.  I can see that others may have other points of view, but it would seem quite foolish to put anything less than 50% of your holdings in bitcoin..

What a spam again by all the wanna be millionaires lol

[TReano]

Looks like we found resistance.


Now Lets see if we are able to consolidate or face slow downtrend where all the enthusiast will buybuy.

Well dunno ... but for example I have a legal right to criminal prosecution of the owners of the exchange that I do my trading on. Usually this happens when you are from the same country and especially if you are from the European Union or US.

And I did made 25% of my total bitcoin for this year in bitcoin ... and the fiat is almost double since I had my coins bought when it was 380$ ... I regret a bit not buying when it was 200$ .. I would have managed to make 10k euro's very quickly ... but I will be pleased with the future if I keep my +10% portfolio monthly increase!
But I have no transaction fees.. but I have a greater tax percentages when I pull my coins or fiat out of the exchange or place them in to the exchange. That's the only big bad mojo ... and another would be the low volumes for now. But from my analysis the exchange has an algorithm that makes good profits so I'm assured that all will be fine.

[JayJuanGee]

Well that was interesting. West doesn't want to move up without a fight

Not really a surprise. West is on the wrong side of history on many occasions.

After several days of synchronized exchange price movement, I see that we are again getting a bit of exchange price  variation  1 or 2 % may be o.k... , but I think that 3% or more variance causes some skepticism from other exchanges.. and none of the other exchanges wants to attempt to follow an exchange leading by 3% or more (and a couple weeks ago, Chinese exchanges had more than a 10% premium over various "western" exchanges), and then if they follow a price premium exchange they run a decent risk of getting dumped upon because they are following something that is not really pushed with support from within their exchange rather than having some kind of more sustainable pump.

There is no such thing as a slow downtrend. Look at 2h-1day charts, we either go vertically green or vertically red. Until we do either, we're going to enjoy this sideways action, calm before the storm.

ofc there can be a shortterm downtrend with lower lows... Why shouldn't there be such thing...

It's actually pretty normal once you peak in a bullish parabolic move.. People will try to catch the bottom every time and it will bounce up but eventually create a lower low where the former bottom picker will close at a minor lose/ reopen a new long...

Just take a look at how the big the last "moon" move worked out. Everybody was fomoing and trying to chase the trend after we peaked at 1200$ but eventually we retraced the complete move over 2 years.

I am not calling any tops here or even a new bear trend. You can't predict the future anyway. If it would be crystal clear that we would go to 1200$ we would already be there and not get resistance below 600$. You also have to keep in mind that the last moon was with much less coins in circulation. Also there was almost no leverage trading or short trading. This will definitely make a giant move like back then less likely. Not Impossible ofc...

Because the number of people that want to have at least 1 bitcoin is increasing in geometric progression every day!
