You don't have to wait for your Bitcoin to reflect in your wallet just so you know that you already have it. Just by looking at any block explorer website (just like this one) and putting in your tx id or even one of your Bitcoin addresses you are using in the transaction is enough for your to know that you have an incoming BTC going inside your account. The block explorer is there just for you to have a peace of mind every time you send and receive Bitcoin. Bitcoin's Blockchain is right available in our browser just don't be shy on using it.

Yesterday I just lost 1.8k USD, maybe in USA or in West Europe that's doesn't much, but here in my shitty country that's a f* big amount of money. Here the minimum wage is ~ 300 USD / month. So that's like 6 month of work if I cut my bread and water and live on air. Half of my saving were other investments, but anyways... I'm feeling shitty right now. Oh, and I break my laptop. So yeah, that's another - 500 usd.

I though I can trade. Buy low, sell high. Sounds good, doesn't work.

Looking at the charts and candle sticks and watching old bitcoin values, and huge spikes (pump, I saw here how people uses the pump word, daaaamn...) I was... yeah, I can totally do that. I'll just buy when it's low, and sell it when it reaches the top. Well, I was wrong. You can't see the future, otherwise everyone would be a millionaire. That would be true if you would have a delorean from '85 with Emmett Brown and Marty Mcfly and you could f* travel in future and see the PUMPS!!!1

So anyone who will read this message (noobs like me) if you don't have any trading experience, don't do it. There are expert traders who know how this market works, when to buy and when to sell. Don't assume your skills by watching youtube videos and reading "daily indexes and predictions" of how the price will rise or go down by shitty sites. That's just dumb. You don't know what's gonna happen. Maybe a little bit of luck, or I don't know.

So yeah, from now on, I'll just leave the trading area for experts and I will invest in bitcoin by buying every 2 week or monthly and saving into my wallet. And one day (I hope so) the price will rise and I will buy for my self a delorean.

Cheers!

That sounds pretty simple, so the 12 word phrase is the private key?

So with all of this new money being created out of thin air basically (yes I know this is a term often used to bash on bitcoin, but in this case you have to agree that it is true). Why don't we just keep forking Bitcoin once every year or so and save up all the newly created money in a fund that will be used to stop world poverty? Seems to be as good of a reason as any.

People are either:

A) Laughing at the fact that Bitcoin did "split" and increased it's marketcap with over $6 billion dollars overnight or
B) Don't understand Bitcoin but don't want to invest because of all this shiet.

I'm so fed up with it all, it is a joke, nothing more and nothing less.

Fuck Roger Ver and his merry band of rich kids only looking to get richer.

Is this a possibility?

Someone say yes. someone say no. Could anyone explain that fork has been occurred or not?

After dumping BCC we could see altcoins will pump so hard. every coin will moon except that BCC coin. Every one transfer their coins to a wallet where BCC was supported. After they got their free BCC they will absolutely dump it and re-buy altcoins.

The timing of this post is not intended to influence the upcoming fork and the Segwit activation and in reality it will not have any effect on them.

Someone posted this article to Reddit today and its claims should warrant at least some discussion here. I am relatively new to Bitcoin and I think other newcomers me included would be very interested in hearing what the more knowledgeable people here think about these accusations.

I would urge you to check that out, because it contains videos and other material and overall is more thorough than the plain text below.

Bitcoin Conspiracy Theory & Proof
This is the real Satoshi Nakamoto, he left the Bitcoin Project when US Government took access of Bitcoin's network alert key and main code repo. The US Gov noticed that cryptocurrency was becoming a growing threat to their tax farms, fueled drug trade, and undermined the USD. Satoshi got a visit from Federal investigators, who insisted he collaborate with them. They agreed to keep Bitcoin open source and allow the organization to grow naturally...


US Government has access to Bitcoin's Master Passwords due to NATSEC
Cryptocurrency has the potential to be as destabilizing as a nuke, and it's in a country's best interest to tax and regulate instead of competing with Cryptocurrencies.

These emerging markets challenge the World Bank, and with a relatively small market cap is under threat of bad actors like North Korea and ISIS who have enough in their war chests to buy out the world's Bitcoin supply tomorrow. The US has the root password keys to the Bitcoin project, so other countries aren't able to weaponize prices. If Pentagon was not controlling the master passwords of Bitcoin, it would be the biggest threat to National Security to date.

Satoshi Nakomoto left shortly after our Government started its involvement. He now denies everything, in part likely because the truth of Bitcoin's control would jeapardize Bitcoin's future, as well as the key access being top secret & classified.



Proof & Propaganda — Satoshi Nakamoto Identity Leaks
Independent media hired private investigators who found Satoshi, who long exited the project due to dislike of government involvement. Reporters found him living a modest private life near LA, and when initially confronted did not initially deny his involvement (as reported by initial doxxers).

The story went viral, Satoshi realized his mistake, and released a "cryptic" public statement, in which he categorically denied his involvement in Bitcoin, stated he worked as an engineer for a Government contractor, but also admitted that during 2009-2010 he was self employed but did not specify what he was doing other than the fact that he had nothing to do with Bitcoin.

The video on the right hand panel is Satoshi's official statement, in which he denies any connection with Bitcoin, but cites involvement as an Engineer with an unnamed US Government Contractor.



David Andersen - Potential NSA Plant?
Took over Bitcoin after Satoshi - Gavin's comments on the LTB podcast #217 (iirc) are very telling. He implies that people would be more worried if other governments than their own had some control over Bitcoin. There isn't much information about his past which creates a lack of proof of past connections, currently an evangelist for Bitcoin with a globalist agenda who has become one of the biggest cryptocurrency players despite seemingly appearing up out of nowhere in 2010 to work alongside Satoshi on Bitcoin



False Flag Craig Wright
Whether he is an Intelligence Officer or an actor hired by Satoshi, Australian Craig Wright is not the founder of Bitcoin. He failed to provide any proof but claimed to be Satoshi. His job is to missinform the public by muddying the waters for the general public. Part of the reason behind the speculation is that he was able to instantly gain the ear of the Mainstream Media despite have no proof whatsoever for his claims, which was not forthright mentioned in his interviews.



Eastern Promises: Alexander Vinnik's Kremlin Ties (Putin's Laundromat)
The arrest of Russian national and fall guy Alexander Vinnik in Greece for tax evasion charges in the US, shows a massive vested interest that the US has against crimes that undermine BTC.

Vinnik had ties to the Kremlin, which was possibly behind other exchange hacks to undermine the US's position in BTC It is a possibility that the new US sanctions on Russia, for which 855 US diplomatic workers that were expelled out of Russia were triggered by Vinniks connections to the Kremlin.

The US sanctions were retaliation for Kremlins involvement in hacking Bitcoin exchanges, which hurt the US Gov Bitcoin interest.

Bitcoin holders will determine whether the price will rise or not soon as prices are determined by supply and demand. I think those investors have kept their Bitcoin till now ( I mean August 1 event) will continue to hold their Bitcoins. Those who had panicked and had sold their Bitcoins will buy again. With this high demand and low supply, the price increase is inevitable.

Today is the last day panic. I buckled the seatbelt and put a cigarette out. Are you ready for takeoff? Tomorrow I expect that bitcoin will start. The goal of 3000-3500 dollars. Next week we will see the first results.

Hi,
this thread I want to ask you: Why do you, if you do, invest in ICOs?
I see horrible huge amounts of money going to those. What do investors think to get in return?
Mostly it's the same case: ICO starts, much money comes in, you get the coins.
But what if those coins do not get back the initial worth?
Or do you invest because of other reasons?

For example (disclaimer: this is NOT hate!):
Why did trueflip.io get over $4,7 Million?


Thank you for answers!

A dinosaur with too technologically backward thinking or does he have a point?

I am not being negative, i am simply stating facts. We have had nothing but NEGATIVE news over the last week. Just google "Bitcoin News" and you will see what i mean. How do you expect Bitcoin (as a brand) to have any creditibilty left with all this FUD flying around. We as a community cannot risk another bear cycle, thats all i am saying because the Big Boys can easily just take all the free "open source" tech (underlying Blockchain tech) and regulate the life out of the exchanges which means no new money in crypto's which then means a crash/winter/bear cycle.

There is an agenda at play at the moment. The smart guys can see the crusade against Bitcoin is entering a new level and as of now a $1 Trillion marketcap is off the map. The powers that be will not let it happen (for now) but yet there are the hippies/lottery type optimists/wannabe liberators/tech freaks who are completley blind to the fact Bitcoin is being attacked majorly this week.
