Bitcoin Price Tracking & Discussion -- 2017

Crashing. Everyone will have 0 in their account soon. Yet I’ll still be depositing some more into litecoin.

Btc is just trying to weed out the pussies who aren’t in this for the long term

Maybe a silly question but what exactly are they planning to do with all these unconfirmed transactions? I remember when seeing 20k and thinking the network was backed up. I've now had a deposit unconfirmed for 5 days at 102 sat/b where if you want to send regular/priority its 1000/1200 now.

I sent some with a low fee last week and it took almost 5 days before I got it back in my wallet. Way too long! My fault for being a cheapskate I guess.

It's puttin some of us (like me) to the test. Admit me to the Pussy Pad.

CryptoCurrency is not a get rich quick scheme. It's like the stockmarket. If you believe in it, then be long. Buy and hold. When it has pull backs, buy some more.

I understand how people can be trading this daily, closing positions, and trying to make money that way and becoming frustrated. That would be aggravating. But I think it's easier to be long and watch.

I'm in this for the long run. I'm not selling till Bitcoin hits 200,000. Till LiteCoin hits 10,000. Till Ripple hits 1,000. And even then, I probably still wouldn't sell unless I just absolutely needed the liquidity. Investing is about putting your money to work for you. I'd rather have my money in Crypts or Stock Market (and I have it in both), than sitting in savings account making zilch.

The dips + rebounds on this thing are amazing. Re-assuring that someone still values it enuf to buy in at depressed prices.

[tblues2005]

I just heard that bitcoin dropped overnight to 13,000. I would be careful on this.

[TheMoneyShot]

Why the hell does this coin drop while you're asleep??? Damn it. Always makes the highest gains... and the biggest losses between Midnight and 9AM Eastern. Why in the fuk is that?

[TheMoneyShot]

19k to 11k has to be the Ultimate correction.

Come on... can't be anymore drops than this.

[dlowilly]

Because 80% of the crypto market is Asian

[TheMoneyShot]

Almost 300,000 Bitcoin transactions unconfirmed. Is this the highest ever?

Sh#$ dropping.... and people can't even get their money. Unreal.

I was checking out the list at blockchain.... numerous people with 10+ Bitcoins pending.... losing money up the ass. Noticed one with 32 Bitcoins... unreal.

Scary sh#$ here.

So, basically... if you have a positive hunch... and want to buy Bitcoins... it would be in your best interest to buy just before Midnight Eastern?


Or even.... SELL before Midnight Eastern on a downswing?

Definitely a lot of action when we're in bed

Trouble is predicting what kind of action. I would never have guessed this last 8 hrs

Complete side note, even if this comes back, xrp cannot hit 1,000 unless you plan on it taking over the entire world lol

Bitcoin's only value comes from servicing black markets. And other coins can be used for that. Bitcoin is a meme only it will be dead one day.

Yes it's the highest ever. I personally have two payouts just sitting unconfirmed in my blockchain and have two deposits that have been sitting there. One for 5 days now and all were sent at or above priority senders fees. I paid $67 fee on one. No confirms for 24 hours on that one.

I don't know what is going to be done. If someone knows please explain because this number hasn't gone down in weeks.

Core's response has basically been "shut up and wait for lightning network" which is why a lot of people are looking towards alt coins for transactions.

[The Kraken]

Ripple for a 1000

Archie knew all along

[BeatTheJerk]

Will we see the day Bitcoin works like a V I S A transaction & we’re not just buying it as an investment ? The whole point of this Decentralized digital currency was to keep it protected by the blockchain ledger & not have our government control it & rape us on taxes/fees. Bitcoins promise was too avoid heavy fees & that has dramatically changed in 2017, I don’t like the path that it’s heading toward besides just using it for investments. We still have to exchange it back into our centralized money for personal use filled with taxes & outrageous fees & its f u c k i n g dramatically slower now & these exchanges can’t handle the volume.

Hoping to JP. For some reason... I don't think it's going to gain in large numbers like it use to. I'd rather be wrong though. lol Seems like all the other coins are doing well.... I don't have time to study em all. Just hope for the best.

Where do u guys see this price going in coming days?

I can see it heading toward $20k in coming weeks. But I'm now of the opinion that the crypto-space can be had by more efficient coins.

Tell me more about Cardano. Does Cardano have good usage?

Sorry this is a bit of a troll act. I was scrolling for Bitpay card info & saw this ridiculous prediction & had to mock my pizza friend.
