Short term i don't feel good. Looks like the double top locked in an we're on the way down...  

Only $4260 per Bitcoin. Crypto is over!!!

Crypto is not over until it over and crypto is not over for those who stick to bitcoin. Besides, we're at $4314 per bitcoin now and for those who moved to BCH because it bullish acouple of weeks ago. Crypto is over .

I have a VPN service but I worry that if the VPN drops the node would stay online without caring.

Firewall it (default deny all) on your outbound router and only allow packets going to the VPN provider. If the VPN drops, it will simply get disconnected, and that way you also make sure there's no DNS or other type of leakeage going on.

Will we see a correction to $4100? I need to sell some altcoins on Bittrex.

Basically my worry is that I'm inviting attacks (or maybe even government interest) by running a node from my home.

Use TOR.

https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/0.12.0/

Code:

#Automatically use Tor hidden services#

Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor’s control
socket API, to create and destroy ‘ephemeral’ hidden services
programmatically. Bitcoin Core has been updated to make use of this.

This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available),
Bitcoin Core automatically creates a hidden service to listen on,
without manual configuration.
Bitcoin Core will also use Tor automatically to connect to other .onion nodes
if the control socket can be successfully opened. This will positively affect
the number of available .onion nodes and their usage.

This new feature is enabled by default if Bitcoin Core is listening,
and a connection to Tor can be made. It can be configured with
the -listenonion, -torcontrol and -torpassword settings.
 To show verbose debugging information, pass -debug=tor.

Translation:  a price point arbitrarily picked by PM authors gets crushed and nothing changes in the overall state of affairs. FUD sells.

Nothing personal but I see this mechanism being played out since 2005 when I got interested in financial markets.

Just a heads up -- there seems to be a concerted effort going on right now by some well known YouTube crypto personalities to promote and pump every crypto BUT Bitcoin. I'm not going to name names, but I'm sure you can figure out who.

I've long suspected that either these guys 1) are secretly being paid off by unknown entities, 2) are true patsies being manipulated by the "powers that be" to steer their followers away from Bitcoin, or 3) all of the above.

Stay vigilant my friends.

Torque, what would be the purpose of that? What kind of coins DO they promote?

Torque, what would be the purpose of that?

Bitcoin poses the biggest threat to the State, it is the largest and most decentralized cryptocurrency. The State can't control it or shut it down, and they were too late to try and co-op it by cornering the market (like they did with ETH, other pre-mined cryptos, etc.). They also know they can't buy off or manipulate the core development team. So the only game they have left is to sway people away from Bitcoin through social engineering and push them towards other alts, pre-mined and centralized crap that they CAN ultimately control or at least easily fk with.

What kind of coins DO they promote?

These guys were real slick...they started off promoting Bitcoin and only Bitcoin to their followers. Now their attitudes have begun to morph and show their true colors. Trojan horse operatives. They are now promoting BCH primarily, saying that it's the more legit version of Bitcoin. Also things like LTC, ETH, Dash, and a BUNCH of ICO tokens that we all know are complete rubbish. The whole goal is to push people away from Bitcoin now, and into other trash, or at least get people to diversify into a bunch of garbage cryptos. As if all cryptocurrencies are "created equal". It's all about stunting or slowing down the growth of Bitcoin long term.

I mean look at it, other than Bitcoin what other crypto has been under constant and relentless attack? Exactly none. Because none of the others pose any real threat to the State.
