Guess the exchange where all the activity is happening on?

Bob24

Back to 11000 euros and rising (the dip was more or less from 12000 to 11000).

Question is: are the sales over or are there more discounts to come?

4076 BTC transferred from unknown wallet to unknown wallet. Crikey. I'd be happy if my wallet was worth 4076, nevermind that many 12k a pop coins.

Has someone sold 4076 bitcoins at 12k a pop. That’s like 48m. Suppose the lucky fecker prob bought them for a dollar lol.

Out of interest what was the lowest price of bitcoin. ??

Just came across this

“In March 2010, user "SmokeTooMuch" auctioned 10,000 BTC for $50 (cumulatively), but no buyer was found”. Imagine buying that for the craic and forgetting about it, then nine years later remembering you bought it while stoned and now your worth 120 million I’d gladly give Leo and paschal their 36 odd million in cgt.

I’m just hoping one day I’ll be early to the table in terms of something that’s going to balloon

Not trading advice...

But bitcoin will likely hit $100,000 at some stage, potentially $1,000,000 very long-term.

I think you are still early to the table here compared to all other investment classes.

Reminds me of the Pizza story in 2010

On May 18th 2010 Laszlo Hanyecz made known he was willing to buy 2 pizzas for a price of 10,000 Bitcoins. At the time this was worth $41. Four days later, May 22nd, the transaction took place. This date has become known as Bitcoin Pizza Day.

Anyway, looks like its already recovering from the $2000 drop. It was like the whole month of December 2017 happened in a few hours there

Anyway. Will be selling up soon as my research has shown that this bubble has been created mostly by fake tethers being printed. Not real money coming in.

Yeah, fake tether printing is still a huge problem that needs to be sorted.

"Any truth to the opinion"? I'm sure his opinion is truthful but whether anyone can say if its correct is anyones guess.

No one can say yes or no without any evidence and at this point this is just an allegation

Coinbase seem like good actors in the space, but it’s fairly weird that they had an outage on the day where there was a massive pump and dump. Bitfinex also went down for a planned update to enable 100x margin trading.

Strange that the BTC pump+dump occured at the same time as the planned Bitfinex update and that the Coinbase outage occured also at the same time.

Some coincidence

q85dw7osi4lebg

Bitfinex, Coinbase & Robinhood were all down at the same time. Can't be a coincidence, but I don't it's for collusion. They are above board in the US re client funds etc.

Now back below 10000 euros.

There were constant problems during the FOMO run in late 2017

Yesterday was probably one of the highest volume days this year, so it's likely they just couldn't cope

James Howells in Newport, Wales, threw away a hard drive containing 7,500 BTC. That's €90 M worth given a price of €12,000. I believe there were people wanting to searh the landfill. If the price ever got to €100 K, it might be commercially viable for a company to buy the site and mine it for the HD, for the €750 M.

Either way it doesn’t reflect well on them ... regardless of the reason, customers not being able to access their account when things get heated is not a great selling point for an exchange :-/

Imagine a company doing this, and then after they have searches the site and found nothing, the guy comes forward and says he was just kidding and never threw away such hard drive ;-)

Completely expected, over-due and relatively small. We could see a sequence of them - if they start to follow one another could trigger another bear market, a downward spiral

We still aren't that far away from the last bull/crash (2017/2018). The last recovery took 3 years, this current one only took one and a half years

Anything could happen, this is why people often don't play the market, it's incredibly random. Never boring though.

Bailing now is the worst thing to do as it will likely be back up in a few days / weeks and you'll be buying back in at a higher price.

The market never stabilizes, you just have to get used to it. Never panic buy in an upswing and never panic sell in a down swing.

If you want to try take advantage of the swings. Set aside 10% for trading. Sell when it gets silly like 12k yesterday. Then wait for the correction to stabilize.

In a small window it looks like the market collapsed but don't forget two weeks ago it was at 7500 and everyone was delighted with its progress.

Sorry, not sure where to post.
Just wanted to ask if anyone else is getting spam SMS from some crowd 'Bitcoin Trend App'?

This is the only place I read about Crypto, and I would have signed up to a couple of 'free coins' ****e over the years, and I think I registered on Coinbase, but never used it (not sure I ever gave my phone number though)..

Texts come from different names, rather than numbers, so I can't block them, and it's very annoying...

Never heard of it - but just ignore. For the most part, nobody should ever be contacting anyone and pitching anything about Bitcoin.

Yeah I would do normally, but this crowd have my first name, so it's obviously related to something I've signed up to at some stage.
I sent an email telling them I want to be removed from their list under GDPR, but it's not even clear where they're based.
Just thought someone else might have got the same spam..

Indeed, or..

buy when it's in the complete dregs and no one else is buying (2015/2016, end of last year), don't buy when it's going up

Check on it a few years later. To date, anyone I know who has done this has either always been up or made a large profit

(usual disclaimer: it could all crash to nothing)

God above you need to get your emotions in check if you think holding through this is tough lmao, lots of us held from the end of 2017/early 2018 as far as 80% down. And when it was at or near the bottom what do you think we did? Bought more, because as the saying goes you should be greedy when others are fearful! You're either getting into this with conviction with the hopes to get richer than you ever would have otherwise or you're not. Don't put in more than you're actually comfortable losing and none of these dips and crashes will bother you

And the only people who got 'wiped out' in 2018 are the idiots who realised their losses by selling without a plan to buy back in at a lower price point
