Here is the real reason why BitMain promoted the Hard Fork that created BCH, instead of doing a safer Soft Fork to accommodate SegWit2.  The ASICBoost miner software would no longer work.  Thus the 30% savings ($100 million) annually would be lost, and AntMiner would be on a level playing field once again.  Bottom line PURE GREED!!! see the link below.

Yep. This post was made before Ver and Wu came out and showed their true colors. You nailed it before the fact. Nice. Bitmain ONLY accepts BCH as payment too. Sneaky lowlife bastards, those two.

And now it's not. That was a preview of the planned pump and dump. Second dump predicted around 3:30 EST today.

BCH showing their true colors with massive manipulation by a few billionaires. Time will tell, but I think they get dropped like a bad habit. They're playing dirty. That can pay off in a quick money grab, but never long term.

Re: BitCoin Is Too Complicated for Average People!

For example, I'm from Canada, and i was only able to buy bitcoin from coinbase, who has limit $100 per week, they charge 3.5% transaction fee, then when you transfer bitcoin to bittrex, they hit you with another fees, which is $5 to $7, end of the day you get $90 worth of bitcoin. I tried several other sites, which has way way high fees, not sure where you guys buy the bitcoins, i couldn't find any suitable sites yet, so i can buy bitcoin with ease.

Use GDAX. It's linked up with coinbase (same company, really). If you do a market buy, there is still a fee, but it's much less. If you do a limit buy, NO FEES! The catch is you can't use your credit/debit card. You have to do a bank transfer and it takes about a week. Well worth the extra effort though with the $ saved on fees.

Re: is it risky to turn all my money to bitcoins?
by

on 02/11/2017, 20:14:11 UTC
Short answer, yes, it's risky. HOWEVER, if you had done it on the day you made this thread, you would have a 69% return right now. I'll go out on a limb here and say that's a tad bit more than you would have made in a typical savings account.

The silence of the Electroneum signature guys is deafening. They've been all over every thread until now, but when we could use a word of advice or encouragement, or some kind of status update, they're nowhere to be found. Thanks a lot guys! Are you the ones trading on Cryptopia while the rest of us are locked out of our accounts?

Re: Electroneum now valued at 11 cents??
by
Festus Maximus
on 02/11/2017, 12:07:03 UTC
That is correct. It's top volume at Cryptopia in BTC and LTC market (beats the second place coin by 3X) and the tokens from the ICO haven't even been released yet! Once they release, I think that volume will shoot up 10X, maybe up to 100X from the number 2 coin. This is insane! Good outlook for hodlers. It's a shame they haven't sorted out the wallet issues, but based on this little preview, if we play it right, we'll get BIG returns on this coin. You have to have the stomach to wait though. Once they release the wallets, thousands of dumbfounded dipshits will go dump their coins right away and bring the price down. Once they're out of the way, we can bring it back up by HODLING!

Everyone is trying to buy, this was undervalued. "It will hit $10 by end of November" - Goldman Sachs, quoted from this evening!

Please link to that statement. I'm a bit frustrated because somebody is selling right now, but we can't get our coins out of the site. Who is selling now? First I thought miners. That makes sense. But I see sell orders in the range of 20,000+. Miners can't get that much in one day. Who is selling, and why can't we?

The moon is the other direction, isn't it? NEO is dumping right now. Dumping HARD.

What???  Many are red but NEO is actually green.  

On bittrex, it fell 4% just since my post.
Yeah but still ahead 24hr price wise.  meaning it gained more than that the past 24 hours.  I won't call that "dumping hard" specially since most other coins are losing at basically similar rate.

Makes sense. I hadn't looked at the chart when I posted before. Now I see there was a massive pump a couple hours ago. Looks like a shady whale trying to unload. Massive selloff. I saw anywhere from 70 tokens to 300 being sold in one shot.

Re: The reason that keeps me from investing in bitcoin
by
Festus Maximus
on 30/10/2017, 22:39:31 UTC
Hello everybody.

I would like to invest some money in bitcoin, I don't use that money and I don't need it for the next 2/3 years.
I thought I found in bitcoin the perfect way to invest. BUT when I see the fees applied I don't see how the bitcoin will become mainstream! The fees are around 1mBTC which is approximatively 3$. Therefore what is the point of bitcoin?

The only thing I see : big amount transaction

But bitcoin won't be the money you use to buy your sandwich with those fees!

I saw a post saying: yeah burger king is willing to accept bitcoin in russia. Hopefully mcdonald will follow ! But why would someone pay 3$ fee therefore a third of his burger king menu in fee?

Will segwit may lower the fees?

Thank you Smiley

On the day you wrote this, BTC was selling around $2542. Right now, it's around $6100. That's 139% gain. How does a $3 fee compare to that? Besides, it would be stupid to buy a sandwich with bitcoin anyway. That's what fiat is for.

Re: Why Coinbase Charged me 50% fees?

on 27/10/2017, 17:29:58 UTC
You mean they will charge me $0.99 every times i purchased bitcoin from them?

nope. they'll charge you more if you buy more. it ain't free to get on the bitcoin train. there are fees to pay and coinbase may actually be paying less than the raw network frees sometimes.

It's free if you use GDAX with limit order. You have to wait a week for the free bank transfer though.

Did you see the alt market bottom out a few weeks ago? Where did all that money go? Did you see it pick back up a couple days ago? Where did all that money come from? That's right. Bitcoin. Whatever you're favorite flavor is from week to week. Whatever three letters you want to put together and call it the best ever, it's still Bitcoin's bitch. Nothing more.
