Currently, yes these coins are being treated like investments and they aren’t really in use like they were intended. It’s almost comical to read those articles where a guy designed a secure storage facility to safely hold bitcoins so that they can’t be stolen. That’s so far away from the original purpose that it’s laughable.
Will not have another crazy run up like 2017, but these are up 23%, 15%, 8% and 12% today. EOS has doubled since hitting bottom and ETH is up around 40% the last few weeks.
A few things:
$100,000 reward.
bear market!A nice day today. My crypto portfolio went from $19.5k to $23.5k. Mostly in LTC, ETH and EOS at the moment.
I wouldn’t put too much thought into the mystery buyer conspiracy. Also the “real reason” is insignificant and nobody really knows the reasons for market moves.
I'd like to use BAT to pay for premium content. Could be independent documentaries, could be a skin in a video game, could be amateur videos... all sorts of possibilities
Though I never heard about it, I just realized this is from April 18. Here's the reason Bitfinex is in the news again:
Over $27k now. Spread out my holdings a bit....EOS, ETH, LTC, BTC, BCHABC, BAT, and BNB. BTC shot up to over $7300 before pulling back a bit.
I played with smaller coins but got tired of their prices being manipulated. For now mostly sticking with ones in the top 10
Ideally, normal people are never going to see the back end of any of this. I don't know or care how American Express processes my transactions. That said, BTC will never be used for everyday transactions without second and third layer support on top of it. We don't need to put a latte transaction on the BTC blockchain.
It could support everyday transactions if they just scaled blocksize with tx volume. There might be a circumstantial use for 2nd/3rd/side chains, but it's not necessary to facilitate a busy throughput on the blockchain. Blockstream just wants people to think it does so they can make money off it.
But, if the Gab people want to tweak opensource software and pretend they're revolutionizing something, that is their right.
Over $31,500. Altcoins are catching up a bit.Bitcoin goes over $8000.
I am up to almost $30k.
@ Craig Wright and his $35 copywrite claim
did you have binance coin in your account? I think they did some ICO type thing where people who had binance coin in account got tickets. Seems you might have won in the lottery phase.
How do you know? How does anyone know anything?
You don't know anything for certain, but you can look at charts and see patterns. On the big picture market prices are driven by the market forces of things like supply and demand. On a smaller scale they are driven by human psychology, and that is where looking at charts comes in. Right now Bitcoin is in an ascending triangle pattern with the top level at $8400. We are approaching the point where we will break that. And once it does there is really not much in the way of resistance until $10,000. Now major news changes everything, but that is kind of what it looks like. Now I am no expert on charts and there are different readings. So.Good Posting Judge said:
Wasn't it found out that most bitcoin trading is fake, because it was taking place on unregulated exchanges?
Unregulated does not equate to fake. There were a lot of pump and dump schemes that were run were some buyers would quitely accumulate large amounts of a coin then have a team of bidders buy up the coin on a que to run up the price. Then have that same team pimp the coin on all the message boards while selling their crap at the higher prices. That type of price manipulation was usually done on smaller coins. If you understood what was going on you could watch the action and profit on it. There has been a huge crackdown on those and they are not as common today.
