So far it's not looking good...

As long as it stays above $300, I'm good.

Predicting a massive price rise within a relatively short period of time is as foolish as predicting that this time bitcoin really will crash forever.

My coworker has made 100k or so with both bitcoin and altcoin. I heard that he bought 6 bitcoins just before the bump. I still prefer blackjack. Am up 1600 this year though I would have made more money betting on bitcoins

Well in 2017 you didnt really have to be lucky to make money on bitcoin. I made over 100% and i sold 2 days after peak, when the crash was quite clear. If I sold sooner, I'd made 200%.
So it really depends what time are you talking about. In general, BTC is as predictable as dice. It's really funny reading analyses and predictions one year back.

Bitcoin and other Crypto is notorious for price manipulation. There seems to be another hype going on that will make some people rich.

Here we go again. Somebody else who "knows" that bitcoin is a scam run by some shadowy cabal.

let's keep the hype about the currency itself and it's propensity for manipulation separate, shall we?
I don't think Bitcoin itself is the best way to have a cryptocurrency, but the general idea is solid - at this point it is far more than a hype, it is a fixture.

But we frequently get Pump and Dump scams (https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Pump_and_Dump), and the current kind of news about how high/low Bitcoin will go sounds to me like the preparation for exactly such a scam.
Yes, short-term price manipulation is something common in cryptocurrencies, especially the smaller ones.

What do you mean by "current kind of news about how high/low Bitcoin will go" ?

Specialized servers have news like this every day.

Assuming that the few examples in that reference are actual pump and dump schemes, none of them are bitcoin.

Even then, it is just as likely that these examples of relatively unknown cryptos were cherry picked because they saw a sudden large price rise followed by an equally quick fall in price - ergo "pump and dump".

My dog might have 4 legs but that doesn't make it a cat.

Some people are good at playing the bitcoin market just like the stock market. That’s what he made this year and has been playing continuously for the past 2 years or so

Looking to buy like 30 bucks of coin. Should I use coinbase? How about ripple? I am getting the feeling that the coins are pretty flat right now

What happens when all the bitcoin is mined? Bitcoin transactions are authenticated by the thousands of people who dedicate their computers and electricity to building the blockchain. They’re not donating all this money and computing power; they are being paid in bitcoin. Mining for bitcoin and authenticating transactions is the same thing.

What is the incentive for people to spend millions of dollars on computers and power once there’s no more kickback of coin?
Quote:
The money itself is worthless. Less than worthless, in fact. We are spending massive amounts of machine cycles and electricity, burning fossils fuels for no reason other than to prove our commitment to the coin.
If the US dollar were a good investment, we wouldn't spend it on stocks, real estate, gold, or bit coins, we'd just keep it as is. If it were a really really good investment, we'd forgo spending it on haircuts, car repairs, and restaurants and the economy would grind to a halt.
Thank goodness the US dollar is a terrible investment, that is one of the reasons it remains the most useful currency in the world.

Yes, any currency that is not subject to demurrage or inflation and on which fees must be paid for every transaction is not particularly useful. Worse, bitcoin doesn't scale so the rate of transactions is permanently limited.

It will be up to a future crypto to address these problems but as usual, this is old news.

Went on coinbase to buy 100 bucks of bitcoin and my bank deactivated my card. I am not brave enough yet to link my bank account to it.

I think the fees scale. 50 bucks of bitcoin generated a 2 dollar fee and 100 bucks of bitcoin is 4 bucks. 4% fee per transaction

That's not what "scale" means. It means that more nodes/miners doesn't mean that we can get more transactions per block.

That's quite a markup your vendor is adding. Current fees are about 0.0001 BTC per transaction or 0.15% of the value of each transaction.

"Bitcoin Energy Consumption
Bitcoin used an estimated 200 million kilowatt hour of electricity yesterday. On a yearly basis that would amount to 73 terawatt hour. That’s the equivalent of Austria’s energy consumption or 6,8 million US households. Bitcoin’s energy consumption now represents 0.3% of the whole world’s electricity use."

If bitcoin is so evil then why are you telling people how to make a profit from it? Is that why your TA is always wrong? To punish speculators?

I'm sure that Bitcoin's creator wasn't thrilled by the amount of energy his creation is draining.
There are other cryptocurrencies that don't do this.

I don't trade bitcoin, I am a fascinated observer. TA seems to work better on bitcoin than anything else, so I feel drawn to predict.
In fact I find it scarcely credible it uses 3 parts in a thousand of electricity produced on the planet, but if this is true, it is pure evil.

Bitcoin should hover at this level for a week or 3, 8040, then it will move down to 5k, then stage a strong rally. Buy at around 5k, as always the thread leaves nowhere to hide.
