I have yes, and to me it appears as we are at a triple bottom with the 6k line. But please tell me why is 4k the spot where we should freak out? Was there a ton of entries at that point? And where could I see this data if true. Please and thank you!

You misread that post and it says don't use them anymore than your basic need. Don't leave funds on an exchange, not even for a day because that could be the one day they go down. This happened with me on Bitgrail and I gotta say it sucks to lose a lot of money that way.

Especially this. HitBTC charges astronomical amounts for deposits and withdrawals and while they are a decent exchange, they certainly aren't the best around. Compare that with the likes of Kucoin and Binance who had a 50k satoshi withdrawal fee, and you can clearly see that statement is nowhere close to being true.

This is true but also do realize that scaling will be an ever present issue with blockchains. Once you get LN and the capacity to have transactions are raised, people will use that space instantly. Then people will say "LN is stuck and scaling issues are happening again." That is why we will never be free from this scaling debate, I implore you to forget about this and move on to something that is of real concern for Bitcoin.

Because it literally is how societies function, and if you can have a sharp understanding of that, then you stand to gain a lot. Especially when societies are cyclical then you really set yourself up for success by learning the ins and outs. Also, it is quite interesting to see how and why societies function on top of trying to make money from it.

That coupled with the fact that ~4 million Bitcoins are lost as well, makes them extra scarce. I am waiting for the day the market realizes many Bitcoins are  missing, and responds accordingly.

Well if you have a 51% attack you could control the network therefore easily destroying a blockchain. Bitcoin Gold got attacked recently and if it can happen to a currency that big, hypothetically if can happen to almost any currency (excluding Bitcoin obviously ).

There are a few currencies right now that are above 1 BTC each but the supply is extremely limited and the currencies themselves are either scams or pump and dumps. The largest BTC value of a true currency I have seen was that of Byteball when it made a high of 30 million sats last year, maybe we will see that next bull run too who knows.

I do like and use Bitmex but to me it depends how you approach gambling. If you have your senses and don't chase losses then it is a completely fine tool to use and try increase your BTC bankroll. But if you gamble and chase losses then stay clear 1000%.

Lol, so they got cleared by somebody who has an extreme bias? Oh and lets not forget its not a full audit, I am still highly skeptical of Tether and this only makes me more skeptical moving ahead. Why run a half ass bias report? To fool the idiots as far as I am concerned, how stupid can you be Tether? Or rather how stupid do you think we are?

I prefer the hodl method, although that has hurt me very much lately. Day trading does seem like the better route overall, but if requires much more skill and dedication.

Didn't see this until now

Give it a couple of years but when LN comes out and is fully functional, you will see a drastic difference from today's network to that day. It will take a while, but I believe the wait will be worth it.

But the thing is it isn't that anonymous, if you use enough resources a trail can link an address to you, don't forget KYC exists and I bet 99% of you are verified somewhere.

And I think 6k is around near the bottom because this is a major support level on the charts. If we break this support anywhere all the way down to 1-2k is fair game. Let's hope 6k can hold now .

How the media reports information and who gives them that information. Not saying there is a conspiracy but it certainly seems like there is somebody working some puppeteer magic behind the scenes.

Bitstamp, Kraken, Bitfinex, and a bunch of others as well mate. Pretty sure the 3 I listed are USA friendly as well, not sure about localbitcoins.

That is exactly why they say friends and business don't mix. Because if you don't succeed they will get upset and if you do succeed you will hardly get any praise. It is a lose-lose situation that needs to be avoided at all times. I have unfortunately learned that the hard way after investing with family.

Honestly previously I was worried about the bubble and fearing it but now I understand it is a necessary thing that needs to happen, and it will humble a lot of individuals. Some will lose a lot, some will have prepared enough to take advantage, and some may lose everything. But the bottom line is that the technologies will further, and they will be discounted akin to when Amazon went from 1k to essentially nothing in the early 2000s. Ask yourself this though, where is Amazon now? Exactly, and that is how a few of these cryptos will progress, most will be left in the dust however.

In a very minor and small way perhaps, and I give props to those involved with Potcoin and Mr. Rodman. However, the major steps that need to be taken to integrate North Korea back into the free world will be done by the administration of the USA, and none other imho. I don't want them to handle everything, but seemingly they handle everything big in the world.

edit: After watching that video, maybe Rodman can play more than a minor role. I truly respect Rodman for undertaking this .
