There will be a snapshot before the transfer to mainnet in June and in theory all EOS ERC20 tokens will be reflected in the EOS genesis block. But the hype around this is out of control. We need to be able to short EOS from launch.

Well.. Most of optimistic holders right there were not expecting bitcoin to break 3.000$ after a dump from 2.980$ to 1.800$ and go as high as 20.000$ 4 months later.
The average optimistic bitcoin projections after we break 3.000$ was 5.000$ for the end of 2018, and we know what happens.. bitcoin goes x4 of that average expectation.
Now also we are in the same situation. A pullback from 20.000$ to 6.000$ Then a try to retest the 20.000$ and go above in next weeks.
Again the average optimistic holders are praying for a price of 20.000$ again before end of 2018. So maybe we are going to make x4 of the average expectation before end of 2018 For a bitcoin price of 80.000$.
When/If bitcoin gonna hit 80.000$ the very big hedge funds and the richest persons are going to enter the market. This gonna coincide with a bitcoin pullback from 80.000$ to 40.000$ only because this time there are the richest persons in the world willing to buy bitcoin after bitcoin going to be the number one on internet trends from here. So.. its going to be a very big support, and from there the real big boom gonna happend ( duo to the amazing big big bang money coming) and take bitcoin price from 40.000$ to 500.000$ before end of 2019 And then bitcoin officially recognised as the new GOLD and all the powers gonna submit to the new worldwide king.
Thats my projection.
I know it sounds like impossible, but with bitcoin all is possible. He goes from cents to 20.000$ in 7 Years and you think its impossible he make X25 in 2 years from the 20.000$ registred on december 2017 to december 2019?
All the arbitrary numbers and the weird grammar in this is making my head spin so it's hard to comprehend your expert advice. Can you explain which these 'richest persons' are waiting for $80K to buy in instead of buying in right now? Seems like on odd strategy.

Anyone, and I repeat, anyone can get rich from bitcoin as long as they buy and hold... That's the theory. The practice is that most people don't want to buy assets when they are cheap. They want to buy when they are expensive. Historically, it would not have mattered if they had bought when cheap or when expensive as long as they HODL, after they bought.... So, yes, a little testicular (or intestinal) fortitude is required to follow the principle of don't invest more than you can afford to lose, which means to have enough money to cover your expenses during BTC down periods, and have a vision for the longer term - perhaps 5 years or longer. Likely the same is going to be true in the future with persons who bought between the current price and $20k, as long as they hold for 5 years and keep buying on a regular basis, they are likely to bring their average cost per BTC down while increasing their BTC holdings and being in decent profits in the long term. When you attempt to strategize too much about opportunity costs, and maybe you should be "in" some other asset, and blah blah blah... you think gold or some other precious metal or some other alt is going to go up more than bitcoin, then you potentially get tricked out of your bitcoin rather than just sticking with a kind of long term incrementalism investment (and HODL and accumulate) into BTC. People like you spout out technical analysis nonsense that could cause people to attempt to strategize too much to sell too many of their bitcoin with attempts to buy lower, when the buy lower does not happen, just like you were doing in the beginning of 2017 with your predicting downwards movements from $1k to $500 when the price actually went in the opposite direction. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

The other reason that most people don't 'get rich' is they simply never invest *enough* in the first place.
This is the trick, isn’t it? Is what you are prepared to lose enough? It depends. I kinda don't like that phrase. Because you are never going to lose everything, and most likely worse case scenario you only about break even after a few years. To have a shot at becoming "rich", I would invest enough in Bitcoin that if you metaphorically lost it all (so to speak) you could confidently save it all back up in 4-5 years through working. Whatever that amount is. The amount is going to be different for different people. Also you need to plan to hold it for at least 6-7 years, with 10 being more optimal. Investors just throwing in $100, $500, or $1000 because that's "all they can afford to lose" should resign themselves to never getting "Bitcoin rich". Sorry but it just ain't going to happen. It takes money to make money, as they say. Sure a key point remains that people are going to differ, and another key point is that a one time or a few injections of capital is not going to be enough, unless you have kind of systematically thought about your investment, which results in relatively large chunks of investment. In late 2013, when I got into bitcoin, I considered bitcoin as a kind of substitute to a 401k that I had been investing into and milking for quite a few years (lets just say well over 10 years), so in that regard, I had already had several investments that I had built up, but I was looking for a substitute location for a both a lump sum investment and also to dollar cost average up to 10% of my income into a new investment (which ended up being bitcoin). So yeah, I consider the don't invest more than you can lose idea to both cover the fact that you already have some other investments going on and also that you have your living expenses covered for 6 months or longer. Thereafter, you can chose an amount to invest into bitcoin, and if you get other additional cashflow, then you are able to throw a decent portion of any of that new cashflow into bitcoin. So, for example, sometimes, I would have some additional cash flow come in my direction, and frequently 50% to 75% of the additional cashflow would go into bitcoin. I believe that surely we gotta live and enjoy, so putting 100% of extra cashflow into bitcoin would have been too obsessive and also perhaps too over-leveraged, but putting 50% to 70% of my extra cashflow seemed much more manageable for me. Since I had fairly conservative upside thoughts, I had expected the practical longer term upper end of bitcoin to be in the $3k to $5k price arena, so any of this current price performance is icing on the cake - yet some of my views have become a bit more bullish, based on what has already happened in recent times, and how bitcoin seems to continue to be poised for additional upwards price moves, and surely I don't need to have $20k or higher to feel rich and happy, but yeah, any additional upwards price performance is welcomed, and it seems to be in the cards, so to speak... without my feeling any need to get greedy and attempt to leverage what I already have in. So, yes, any of us can feel a lot more comfortable when we are at least 3x to 5x in profits that are much above and beyond our entry level expectations.. and we might not even feel any kind of compelling need to diversify out of the asset, either.

When bitcoin breaks 10k again I'm moving to Thailand to become a full-time monger. Saw a man today (around 45-50) in Phuket riding a Harley wearing a cap with bitcoin logo on it. He had a young chick in the back, aged maybe around 20y. Wonder if he's someone from the forum ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Maybe she is. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

USD is the main currency in the US because of laws. There is no such law for Bitcoin. There is no way we can force or compel the average user to use the real bitcoin. .
ahh, but there is, it is called Gresham's law Well done! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FcaHkLXWm.jpg&t=665&c=yAizwfu3hEkqCg)

Most people just don't have the patience to hold any asset for a long period of time before selling. They feel that 1-3 years is about all they can do before they get the itch to liquidate.
The other reason that most people don't 'get rich' is they simply never invest *enough* in the first place.
........ 4. Sometimes I wonder if enjoying life more at the moment beats having more money later. For once, if you eventually get to a decrepitude stage with $100 mil worth of btc (say, in a few decades), then I have to ask: The f-k you are going to do with it? Give it to the second and third generation so they can do something stupid with it? ...... Part of the erroneous all or nothing investment mindset, and you, Biodom, seem to share such erroneous thinking. There are ways to be happy, to live within your means and to invest in the future. For example, you should not be buying a $200k to $700k lambo, unless either you are about to die or that you have at least a couple million dollars in assets. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F6rZ8g8R.jpg&t=665&c=6L5svzlr-j2ApA) In other words, there is no reason that you cannot do both - live well and invest in your own future, and part of the key to that involves both planning and living within your means... and if you invest well, then living within your means will become greater and greater, and you will not be left with an old age dilemma about why you have so much money but are not able to enjoy hookers, blow and lambos.

I cash out at least 50% every rally which ensures both that I am able to enjoy life and that I have something to show if/when bitcoin finally crashes for good. It makes me much more confident about hodling the remaining portion.

Go look at btc dominance and tell me more about a limited supply.
I don't understand the question. BTC dominance have nothing at all to do with the price. Tera, debs bera, likes to throw out a lot of random quasi-sensical informations and to see if anything might happen to stick. Go look at btc dominance and tell me more about a limited supply.
I don't understand the question. BTC dominance have nothing at all to do with the price. The relevance is, if someone wants to use crypto they are not forced to use bitcoin, and altcoins absorb market cap that bitcoin could have had, lowering bitcoin's price in the long run and also removing arguments about scarcity because crypto is anything but scarce now. Whoaza... her answer here seems to demonstrate my point... Holy moly, Tera Bera!!!!! You are really talking nonsense when you are trying to suggest some kind of crypto equivalency arguments - sounding like peter schiff or some other nocoiner who is confused about the crypto space to such an extent that they believe (or act like they believe) that the printing of multiple other shit coins rises to the level of a "bitcoin competitor" that inflates the supply of bitcoin. Get the fuck out of here with that. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F-VF6owpiHQVw%2FVHI3tG2FibI%2FAAAAAAAAhrY%2F3ZWlAooCuuw%2Fs1600%2Fget%252Bthe%252Bfuck%252Boutta%252Bhere.jpg&t=665&c=5CGIWKwSLYcn_w) (saved it for the end, just for you, Torque)

I think bitfinex should be considered a total and complete black market scam artist exhange.
I told you people that every day for the last 4-5 years. That's one reason I despise bitcoin. The entire bitcoin market is controlled by a single trader/entity operating on Bitfinex ever since the price was $200. Said entity naked shorted the market during the halving in huge volume and could not cover his shorts, then Bitfinex mysteriously claims they were hacked right after and stole everyone's bitcoins in order to cover the shorts. In order for this entity to operate on Bitfinex, it's 100% required for Bitfinex staff to be in on it, so it's either the Bitfinex owners themselves who control the whole market through fraud, or Bitfinex owners colluding with Chinese mining cartel, or they're issued some type of gag order and it's the ESF or Goldman Sachs or something manipulating the market. In the GATA archives it was uncovered the ESF attempts to introduce high volatility into the metals markets on purpose to make it seem like a less valid monetary instrument or store of value, so the govt/bankers themselves might even be running the bitcoin pump and dumps for this very reason. That explanation would only make sense if you believe the govt did not create bitcoin. If the govt did create bitcoin, it would likely be the ESF propping up their scam to try and lure people into these imaginary, worthless tokens and distract them from sound money (silver or gold). Either way, the entire bitcoin price is based on Bitfinex fraud. So the question is: what is the real price of bitcoin without Bitfinex fraud? Nobody knows. They pumped the market via this tether scam, so I imagine it would be lower and somewhere between $200-$3000.

This is a sex thing, if I'm not mistaken.. A sex monger. Great!!! Hopefully, the price of BTC will stay above $10k in order that Syke would not have to discontinue his anticipated upcumming bitcoin experiment.

Well, this is still the wild west so to speak. We're aware of the heavy manipulation and the fundamentals remain. Don't use bitfinex, maybe don't trade it at all but not being invested at all in BTC isn't an option that I'd consider.
