I do not agree with statement how it's ponzi scheme. Most accurate description of crypto bubble would
be "stock hype" where stock value can skyrocket due "promising company organization" but once reality come stock value drop to minimum and people who bought when it was hype lose money.
Stocks and crypto is based on same principle, with only difference how stock price can be affected by company business moves. Funny how you mention Bill Gates, since microsoft accept bitcoin.

Ask yourself the most basic question, what would makes this currency spike to ungodly values as it has in the last year? The answer is manipulation and falsifying the value of a currency that is theoretically unsustainable when other conventional currencies US dollar/Yen/Sterling/Euro cannot increase in value at the rate that Bitcoin was doing. And those currencies have been around for ages, they are trusted currencies that are traded worldwide. If you can wrap your head around that, you will know that Bitcoin and all these Crytocurrencies are a scheme. And like all schemes, eventually the bubble will burst and you will see a sharp downward spike like you are starting to see with Bitcoin.

All the bitcoin nuthuggers and experts cannot give you a legitimate reason why the currency has taken a tumble because they are either in denial or they are in on the scheme. The whole "everyone was withdrawing money for the holidays" excuse Crytocurrency experts was giving for the devaluation during the christmas/new years holidays doesn't fly because it's still dropping like a brick now. Considering a lot of people are still foolish enough to invest more money into Bitcoin now thinking it will rise again. Shouldn't the Bitcoin be rising in value then from all of the "new" money coming in vs the money that is being withdrawn? Or at the very least, the devaluation should be slower rather than the rapid decline we are seeing now?

Use common sense and you will always see why guys like Jerry Jones, Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Oprah Winfrey have not poured their networth into Bitcoin. If there is one thing Billionaires love is to make more money yet, they are not foolish enough to buy into the Bitcoin hype...ask yourself why..

5- 10 dollars or something like that.

People who invested while it was 15k-20k was stupid, because even for bitcoin standards that was unrealisticly too fast growth.If that growth was going slowly during entire year and not in a single month, then it would be more stable.

You're comparing apples and oranges. Stocks (usually) represent shares in companies that have sales, profits and various assets with a tangible value. The intrinisic value of crypto is zero. When Bitcoin was at its $19k+ peak, its market value was absurd and greater than Walmart, the biggest retailer in the world.

That still does not change fact how stock value can skyrocket for no other reason but hype.
But i know what you saying here , how crypto does not have a "base" value when you remove value caused by hype. But the thing is, bitcoin was supposed to be an alternative payment system, not a investment currency.

converted it to fiat so... :) but yeah ethereum seemed like a safe harbour 'til yesterday x) this gold project Digix DAO seems quite stable though, pretty resistant to the whole downfall... it jumped up 100% today for like an hour x) precious game to play for traders while the rest of the market is crashing :D

Smack dat 02-02-2018 06:59 AM

I'm going on a limb and suggesting we are hitting the bottom.
The way I see it it started going "mental" around the beginning of Nov when bitcoin was around $7k it hit an ATH on 17th Nov of $7888 (I screenshoted it).
So I think the bottom would be around $7500 and that would be a realistic price before all the hype.
...So, expect another $1k dip before levelling out.

Then I think it will be pretty stagnant for a long time (over a year) although I do think sometime late 2018 or 2019 we will pass the current ATH.

Yes, I understand that but my fault, I really didn't explain myself well. I meant that I lost less than if I had all my cash in bitcoin.

Never invest what you cannot comfortably afford to LOSE. It's like going to Las Vegas.

Whatever I put in already I consider "lost". One day a few years from now I will check in and see what's what. Short-term buying/selling is for chumps, losers and panic-stricken wannabe pretenders.

Unfortunately you can't even sell at 9k now.

My advice: put in a sell order for 9,300 and end the madness. Catch the next bounce up because they're won't be many more.

Then again: I know A LOT about pizza. Cryptocurrency pump and dumps, not so much.

There you go. I was fun watching my BTCs flip over 100K but I never put in any significant amount of money in it. Either way I was going to buy an RV that would have been used 2 times a year. Waste of money any way you look at it.

When I worked in the UK around 2006 I bought some Lloyd?s bank stocks for around 3.50. 12 years later I?m still holding the stock which has a value of 0.68. I?m sitting on a paper loss of around 80%. Long term investments can be a heap of shit too :2 cents:

food for thought:

if you are buying crypto this means you are not investing money in stocks,giving money to banks, paying taxes etc...

big business is not going to like this...a year ago total crypto market cap was like 20billion, this is not even a blip on the radar...500 billion is nothing much...but as the market cap grows the chances of big business actually taking REAL action against crypto grows exponentially...

keep in mind the biggest prostitutes are politicians, especially US ones where political prostitution is an institution by means of lobbying...keep in mind that the crypto market is not regulated and if they want to create chaos with volatility there is absolutely nothing standing in their way...

whether crypto/blockchain will win in the end I do not know nor is this the point...the point is big business is not going to remain passive about this much longer...there is going to be tons of collateral damage regardless of who wins in the end :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

Klen 02-03-2018 04:29 AM

Yes many banks have "ebroker" service, where they take a fee for buying stocks. But i think they are stupid with being against, they could simply introduce "ecrypto" and make money with it.

Hope it works out for you.

you have it all wrong, like when the price was rising, people waited that extra day, hoping to catch the train at its best, yet it kept rising...

now itīs just falling & probably because the big guys, with multi millions involved, they removed theirīs before Christmas & made 2017 the BTC craze...

now it could be NAGA, it could be ETH or ripple. Until the price has dropped right out, no one knows...

Youīre either selling now or in for the long haul. However, mine were only in for a few months, the guy put them in when it was 8900, so I would have been best taking out at 15 or 20, but taking out yesterday at 9300 I didnīt lose, I just didnīt gain what I wanted :2 cents:

but this is exactly one of the ideas what was behind crypto and what have failed completely.

ONE of the big goals here was to get rid of high banking fees for ordinary money transfers.
BTC costs are FAR over such costs and they will be more expensive as more complicated the chain becomes.

so playing with crypto is playing poker.
as long as there are enough players you make money with their volatility but as soon the big boys jump into that the majority of the small players will lose.

if they would NOT lose nobody could win - it is that easy.

we are FAR away from a world with blockchain money - and if that comes it will NEVER be ruled under stockmarket circumstances. that would make money incalculable and not useful for any kind of trades.

i saw yesterday a documentation about the first "bitcoin city in the world" what is zug in switzerland.

that was a big topic all around the world.

in this documentation they tried to find ONE shop in the whole city what ever got even one single BTC payment and they did not find one.

the community received 50 payments in 2017 and the most where made by international journalists what wanted to prove if they are really able to pay with it.

so yes you will still be able to get other peopleīs money with bitcoin. just by betting on rise or fall - but this is a game and nothing else. same as when you bet on the winner or a loser of a football match.

agreed, and much like tubes, you cannot just roll it all back. Some will join and adapt and utilise to make more money, and as that side grows, so do the disrupters. One won't fully replace the other, as they have different uses, but people writing off crypto as a ponzi, or tulipmania are wildly missing the bigger picture. This is so early days.

Klen 02-03-2018 06:25 AM

Yes it was, and that is what i disliked with bitcoin, it's volatility make it bad choice for e-commerce.
There is currently one crypto which i find suitable for e-commerce, and that is tether as it have fixed value. But there is rumours now how company behind it have some problems.
And that situation with city is nothing unusual, i was once in bar where they accept only BTC and LTC and i refused to order anything because it is toomuch hassle to order it :D

Bad comparison, those you mention have really no need for more money and not least walking into something they don't know much about. They're not hungry for new ventures either other than managing their own business.

They have their fortunes, why risk any of it on something new called crypto currency...:2 cents:

I'm not surprised.
