All good, it just seemed like a couple of people said it's going to completely crash now. Wouldn't call today's fall a crash, that's all.

sky is falling

1085

up +43% last 90 days

I just want my measly $88 dollars to get to 5D. WTF. Worth $77 now, and they won't even confirm the transaction. I gotta go local again. Oh wait, that $88 is damn half of the money I have left.

Kaabee · 03-10-17, 06:36 PM

Didn't crash but it sure looked bad early. Nearly 1300 to under 1000 in a matter of minutes.

I moved $550 in BC to 5D the other night... took a while, like 90 minutes, but eventually got confirmed. I'm also happy to say that I got it immediately to $785.

Never fails. I get a good sized cashout of roughly $10k from two sites and bitcoin drops $100 in a couple hours while I'm at work. Nothing like losing roughly $800 while it sat in my wallet.

ETH more than doubled the past week. $17 to $45.

It's like the Energizer Bunny, still going!

I bought ETC earlier today at 0.00162 BTC each and it just hit 0.0019.

you can deposit ETH at Betcoin and they will then convert.

Is this one of those figures that is deceptive? Like the chinese trading bitcoin?

It seems to be real since 30% of the volume is at Poloniex.

It's easy to make money on alt coins these past couple weeks as long as one sticks with the high volume coins and you don't fall for the pump-and-dump coins. However, it won't always be this way so I have to get in while the getting is good.

The tough part is knowing when to get out. There will be pain before I figure out when the market turns but at least I hope to have made enough during this time to make up for it.

The bitcoin war has helped the alts. There wasn't enough backing for Segwit. The largest miner Antpool wants Bitcoin Unlimited.

Is the Ether trading volume holding up still?

If you think SegWit is dead, do you think another solution can get enough support to be implemented or are we going to see two incompatible versions of bitcoin?

Will that hurt it badly if so?

Yes, Ethereum trading is still solid although not as much as March 16th and 17th. The price has leveled off.

I'm in DASH now and may be for some time. It's been a steady climber the past week or so. I'm tired of jumping from coin to coin although that has paid off the last few days.

Who knows? I may jump ship later tonight if I see something I like but I'm hoping to just stay in DASH for awhile.

When will the whole alternative bitcoin thing be decided? I am looking to buy via coinbase, I don't want to get killed on the transfer, trying to fund a book for baseball.

What is up with the decrease of the past few days?

It will be interesting to see if it holds over $1000

Getting close to that now.

Optional · 03-18-17, 09:58 AM

I'm just watching https://price.bitcoin.com/

still bouncing on $1000 according to them. Just

Optional · 03-18-17, 10:00 AM

People still wanting to buy at 1017 on Independentreserve.

Russian Rocket · 03-18-17, 10:01 AM

Yeah $1000 is a pretty significant mental figure...I'd expect a lot more traders try to defend it.

bitfinex is printing 986

Optional · 03-18-17, 10:08 AM

Wish I knew more about what might happen with Segwit/BU and the 'politics' driving it and why the volume of Ether is so high...

Sam Odom · 03-18-17, 10:38 AM

who's buying at <800 ?

No one knows. I'm in the same boat but for withdrawaling from a book to my bank. I'm not starting it until this seems to have found a Basement.
