And yet another one (Original post):

Hm... What if someone get holds of your Trezor without your knowledge, installs malicious firmware that saves your passphrase, returns it to you, then steals it again after you have used it, and downloads the pasphrase?  Or whaterver?

The storage area is erased when you upload unofficial firmware.

Cryptocurrencies are volatile by nature. They are not as stable as currencies that have had centuries to develop. Bitcoin is the oldest coin on the market, and it has only been around since 2009. Nevertheless, there are a number of things that can affect cryptocurrencies:

Regulation. If a government makes a statement or pushes for a particular regulation that affects cryptocurrencies, you can bet that the price will react to it (sometimes positively, often negatively). When China banned ICOs, the price of Ethereum fell by 41% in 15 days (from$386.83/ETH to $228.06).
Media influence. Just like government regulation, exposure in the media greatly affects a cryptocurrency’s price. Whenever a public figure makes a statement regarding cryptocurrencies or a major retailer starts accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment, you will see the market respond.
Changes to the technology. When a cryptocurrency’s core technology is affected (either via an update or the finding of a flaw), the cryptocurrency’s price is also affected.

In conclusion
Trading cryptocurrencies works almost exactly the same as trading fiat currencies, and it will benefit you greatly to learn the theory behind trading currencies. While profits are never guaranteed when trading, you can take steps to protect yourself from heavy losses and to improve your understanding of how markets move.


Cryptocurrency trading can be profitable, but only if you play your cards right. Unfortunately, cramming everything you’ll need to know about trading into this beginner’s guide is impossible, but hopefully you now know enough to get you started on this exciting adventure.

According to Bitcoin.org, nobody owns the Bitcoin network much like no one owns the technology behind email. Bitcoin is controlled by all Bitcoin users around the world. While developers are improving the software, they can't force a change in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose what software and version they use. In order to stay compatible with each other, all users need to use software complying with the same rules. Bitcoin can only work correctly with a complete consensus among all users. Therefore, all users and developers have a strong incentive to protect this consensus.

Bitcoin is controlled by all its users worldwide. Developers can indeed improve Bitcoin software, but they can not enforce changes in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose the software and version they want to use. In order to remain compatible with each other, all users need to use software that follows the same rules. Bitcoin works only when there is full consensus among all users.

I am not sure but I think, technically it’s controlled by the community. What is the community? Consists of developers,miners, traders, those who hold currency.

1. Developers: You can find the Bitcoin source code here - bitcoin/bitcoin - it says there are 376 contributors, which you can see here - contributors - and you can make your own contributions / adjustments (they may or may not get approved)
2. Bitcoin miners: These people have bought the hardware / pay for the electricity to make the transactions and the network “function”.
3. Bitcoin traders: Large stake holders who move the markets in certain ways by altering liquidity.
4. Bitcoin holders: Those who are not necessarily in the “trading” realm, but have been buying and holding the currency.

So what influences bitcoin direction / updates then? (part of this Vladislav mentioned)

1.Developers: You can find the Bitcoin source code here – bitcoin/bitcoin– it says there are 376 contributors, which you can see here – contributors – and you can make your own contributions / adjustments (they may or may not get approved)
2.Bitcoin miners: These people have bought the hardware / pay for the electricity to make the transactions and the network “function”.
3.Bitcoin traders: Large stake holders who move the markets in certain ways by altering liquidity.
4.Bitcoin holders: Those who are not necessarily in the “trading” realm, but have been buying and holding the currency
(thus removing tokens from circulation / the ecosystem)

They deserve to be reported, every people has their own way of saying their answer, even answer of three person is similarly alike and the idea is almost the same but they never put their though in exactly the same words, unless they made copy and paste it, or they may have same line but one word may differ from the sentence especially wrong spelling.

User marcelo01 from copy paste, archive thread (What are the disadvantages of bitcoin?)

Original:
Like any currency, there are disadvantages associated with using Bitcoin:

Bitcoins Are Not Widely Accepted
Bitcoins are still only accepted by a very small group of online merchants. This makes it unfeasible to completely rely on Bitcoins as a currency. There is also a possibility that governments might force merchants to not use Bitcoins to ensure that users’ transactions can be tracked.

Wallets Can Be Lost
If a hard drive crashes, or a virus corrupts data , and the wallet file is corrupted, Bitcoins have essentially been “lost”. There is nothing that can done to recover it. These coins will be forever orphaned in the system. This can bankrupt a wealthy Bitcoin investor within seconds with no way form of recovery. The coins the investor owned will also be permanently orphaned.

No Buyer Protection
When goods are bought using Bitcoins, and the seller doesn’t send the promised goods, nothing can be done to reverse the transaction. This problem can be solved using a third party escrow service like ClearCoin, but then, escrow services would assume the role of banks, which would cause Bitcoins to be similar to a more traditional currency.

so many other things, but it depends how it is managed.

We are close to death cross now and if we don't bounce to 10k quickly we take this cross. Let's discuss how it can impact on bitcoin price. My forecast if we take it, we get bitcoin fall down to 3k at least within one big red candle. Any other opinion?
I can see this happening as I think people are too quick to dismiss the market activity in 2013/2014 as not happening again. If you compare the charts the pattern almost looks like a exact repeat of 2014 where the market crashed, briefly recovered to about 50% of the previous high which held for maybe two months and then it crashed down again even further.

If you compare the charts the pattern almost looks like a exact repeat of 2014 where the market crashed, briefly recovered to about 50% of the previous high which held for maybe two months and then it crashed down again even further. That time it took the remainder of 2014 and all of 2015 before the market started to slowly rise again in 2016, and taking nearly to 2017 to return to the 2013 highs.
 
Point of all this is it has only been two months since the ATH's and it takes much longer than a few weeks to fully correct and recover. Hopefully the process does not draw out as long as it did last time, and maybe not go as deep, but getting back to the OPs point, I can fully see BTC dipping to 3k yet, albeit briefly, before taking off. I can also see this drawing out all through the summer and fall and maybe not starting a earnest recovery until sometime in 2019.

Bitcoin is not dead lol. The price is getting low but bitcoin will not die quickly we can recover it in somehow. Many people thought bitcoin is secretly dying I just wanted to say that its wrong Bitcoin will back soon to higher value.

BTCBTCBTC
Obviously Bitcoin won't die. Just like the stock market, bitcoin too is subject to ups and downs in price. It is the belief of people that makes Bitcoin stronger. Every time the market falls, people consider it the right opportunity to invest and make money, and I am sure that a lot of people would take this low price as an opportunity to invest in bitcoin.

Also, going by the past trends, bitcoin usually upscales towards the ending quarters of the years. Even in 2017, it was the last quarter that resulted in such a high price for bitcoin.
So just sit back, invest, and then watch the market go up.

I feel unable to do daily trading in market bitcoin / cryptocurrency, I want to invest my money. please give me advise on what you think is good about:

1. bank deposits
2. Lending cryptocurrency
3. Mining
4. Gold assets
5. Property
6. other ideas ...


your response will be very useful for me, and maybe some visitors who read this thread. and thank you for your comments.

I don't know whether you have heard about mutual fund schemes provided by the Asset Management Companies. They invest a part of your income in equity and the other part in debt and give you returns almost equal to 20-30%. I suggest you check out with a local agent about the mutual fund policies available in your area

I suggest you check out with a local agent about the mutual fund policies available in your area. They are also regulated by government and hence you will have that trust factor.
There is just one advisory though, that mutual fund policies are subject to market risks and you can also lose money if luck doesn't favor you.

Hi guys what you should do if you have an excess money?..saving or investing it?
Investment is better than saving. But for investment in any business you have to do some market research and then analyse the opportunities and potential return on investment.

I think you should also invest a part of it which can yield you guaranteed profits and it will also help you in multiplying the amount of bitcoins in your wallet. Investment is better than saving.

I salute you dude for finding these things. You are a Super detective.
But 'Plagiarism is the highest form of flattery'  I just quote it.  I just read it and forgot the author. I might accused of plagiarism on this.
But we don't know the reasons of these people. Maybe they wanted to have merits or may be they are just lazy to think and copy someone else's ideas. Hopefully, they will all be looked into and give proper judgement..

This problem can be solved using a third party escrow service like ClearCoin, but then, escrow services would assume the role of banks, which would cause Bitcoins to be similar to a more traditional currency.


Copy:
Like any currency, there are disadvantages associated with using Bitcoin:

Bitcoins Are Not Widely Accepted
Bitcoins are still only accepted by a very small group of online merchants. This makes it unfeasible to completely rely on Bitcoins as a currency. There is also a possibility that governments might force merchants to not use Bitcoins to ensure that users’ transactions can be tracked.

Wallets Can Be Lost
If a hard drive crashes, or a virus corrupts data , and the wallet file is corrupted, Bitcoins have essentially been “lost”. There is nothing that can done to recover it. These coins will be forever orphaned in the system. This can bankrupt a wealthy Bitcoin investor within seconds with no way form of recovery. The coins the investor owned will also be permanently orphaned.

When goods are bought using Bitcoins, and the seller doesn’t send the promised goods, nothing can be done to reverse the transaction. This problem can be solved using a third party escrow service like ClearCoin, but then, escrow services would assume the role of banks, which would cause Bitcoins to be similar to a more traditional currency.

so many other things, but it depends how it is managed.

Did you report the user? Or just posted it here. I ask because unlike some of the quotes in the OP the user still has the copy and pasted post up.

Do admins or moderators monitor these reports?

I noticed this copy/paste while reading through a thread just now:

I come to think that we can't fall massively below 5,000 dollars per BTC - if ever - unless some major whale - of the Mt. Gox trustee's scale - decides to cash out. I base my assumption on the premise that people who bought coins at high prices like over $12-$15k won't be selling at prices below some psychological limit because selling at such prices will be pointless and their only viable option will be to continue holding.

that's not how market psychology works. you're being far too rational. irrational despair and exuberance dominate markets, and emotions dominate traders.

so here's what usually happens: those people who bought at $15k? they think rationally like you for quite some time. but the price drops and drops and eventually, they start to wonder if the price will ever recover. then the crash accelerates. panic ensues. these once rational hodlers who were so strong at $8000 are suddenly so much weaker at $5000 and below.

these are the bulls that sell the bottom on high volume in bitcoin's classic v-bottoms. then they provide lots of buying power on the way up when they want to recover their coins. you should only devote yourself to hodling if you can actually keep your cool during crashes and avoid selling into bottoms.

Sometimes, but not always. A Mod can't instantly see if another Mod handled it already, which makes it hard to keep track of this thread.

When I find plagiarism, I now click "Report to moderator" too. Something like "Plagiarism, please permban. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2855895.msg33874667#msg33874667 for proof." is enough. I don't think all Mods can ban them, so the risk is a Mod just removes the post without ban.


For a moment I thought figmentofmyass was guilty here (luckily he's not!). I'm not used to this AM/PM-time, who came up with the idea that 12:51:48 AM comes before 03:37:07 AM?

I don't see very much risk in this if you simply create an archive of the post, as seems to usually be the case. Unless moderators/staff are unwilling to perform judgement based upon only an archive, for one reason or another. Even if this were the case, I would think that staff would have access to some kind of "graveyard" "trash" or some extensive "archive" type board. Mostly thinking out loud, but from everything I can gather it would seem that the risk is negligible, unless like usual you have something up your sleeve I haven't considered, in which case..  Shocked

Lol, no.
I'm not sure if Mods ban accounts based on archived posts on third party sites, that could become a slippery slope.
Theymos can access deleted posts, I'm not sure how many Mods can do that too.

I was thinking a similar thing about archives being a slippery slope. Whew, it's almost a relief that you haven't brought something up that makes me seem like a dope. If theymos can access deleted posts, then I would imagine that most staff would have this capability. Would there be any reason you can think of that would make theymos not enable this for the staff? It would seem the only benefits of that would be for the people abusing the system by deleting posts or whatever.

Every forum I've ever been on has a graveyard, so I would imagine this is just something that only staff has access to.

It is a small theoretical chance the cryptography behind Bitcoin can be broken at some point in the future. Previously broken cryptos had been attacked/weakened severely before broken, so I am confident we have time to adjust before any problems. In addition, if ECDSA or SHA is taken down there is a lot bigger fish than bitcoin they will attack before us.

Bank bail out after bank bail out. There's also clearly demand to have an alternative to central bank issued currency. Also there's been people trying to create a purely digital currency for decades. They all got squashed by the government, so Bitcoin is decentralized like BitTorrent vs early attempts that were all centralized like napster.
The more radical and experimental central bank policy gets (QE, negative rates, currency devaluations) the more alternatives like Bitcoin and gold look attractive.

Investing isn't easy. If it was easy to make money investing, everyone would be rich now. Do you think 5 reddit posts explaining basic trading concepts will help you make a lot of money? Not a chance.

Additionally, this rather looks like an attempt to publicize his ""investment firm"", which promises 300% returns over 3-5 years. It's obvious that in order to get such returns, there has to be a lot of risk involved.

Also, the terminology on the page sounds an awful lot like all those ""magical risk-free daily 7% returns"" threads on BitcoinTalk, you know, those ""investments"" that pay old investors with the new investors money until it begins to collapse and they run with all the money.

Thanks to the price rally over the last month I have become a crypto-millionaire.
I'm not selling my coins and if the price goes to zero tomorrow I will not shed a tear. I have gained so much more than wealth from Bitcoin. It has opened my eyes to the world of computer science, taught me about markets and economics, pounded into my head the importance of being street smart and never trusting any person or business unconditionally with financial matters, and, most importantly, given me exposure to some of the most interesting, intelligent people around.

Here's to the past and cheers to the future. I'm sticking around to see what the years ahead bring and I hope you will too.

EDIT: I forgot to add my most important lesson: The importance of being able to ignore noise, hysteria and emotions and sticking to your guns when investing in something. It's only possible to do this when you truly believe in your investment and are informed and confident enough to listen to the naysayers but calmly explain to them why they are wrong. The people who make money are the people who stick to their guns when everyone else is hysterical. That has been my most important lesson.

Man, you are so right about future generations who will be main users of cryptocurrencies. Thanks for idea about securing my crypto assets for my kids. I think I will do it as well.

Coinbase is your best option if your in the US. Although there is a verification process.

I suggest learning more about the technology before putting any money into it.
