Such as? And you know this how?

Thats my point, we don't know but will likely find out sometime in the future.

The price of bitcoin is and has been manipulated many times. Small fry have no chance vs the whales that dictate the course.

people and corporations feel more comfortable and confident about bitcoin, so improving crypto sentiment.

I wonder how much of that comfort was created by the relatively stable price recently. It seems to me to be a useable currency, bitcoin's value should become more stable. If so, the recent price activity will create increasing discomfort.

You're not crazy, the ride is. Same pattern since 2009.

Yep, I'm a believer. The market cycle keeps repeating.....

It's never too late. Buy Bitcoin and hold it for 3 or 4 years and you will make money. Many are unable to do this due to many reasons (skeptical, pucker up, don't have the cash, etc.). True, 4 or 5 months ago was a better entry point but the future is still very bright....

This is terrible news. So now I got to wait in line waiting for people to get confirmations off the fuking blockchain like waiting for a sportsbook deposit? They already slowed lines up with that stupid chip in the card garbage. Now the lines will be 10 times slower. I will pay cash.

Maybe read (and comprehend) the story before jumping to conclusions...

The rumors about Starbucks taking btc been around for a good while... looks like it’s happening

lol. I'm with you guys, tough to stop watching. We need to somehow break that $10k psychological barrier in the next few weeks, then the sky's the limit. It's easier said than done.

Does anyone see any reason to buy any other cryptocurrency right now? I have everything in bitcoin and a little in bitcoin cash. Took all my xrp and moved it to btc. Why put it anywhere else? Educate me.

acegilz · 05-13-19, 05:59 PM

This may be related with a very interesting news...:

"Ion, Microsoft's open source decentralized identify solution program, just launched, and they’re using the Bitcoin ($BTC) blockchain.
Bitcoin ($BTC) Futures exchange Bakkt has announced its intention to launch a “user acceptance test” by July to begin customer onboarding and test its model, according to a Medium post by CEO Kelly Loeffler. Bakkt will roll out daily and monthly futures contracts margined by ICE Clear US, which will operate like existing gold, oil, or interest rate futures contracts. The futures exchange is also placing $35 million in the clearinghouse’s risk waterfall in what Loeffler describes as Bakkt's 'skin in the game.' An integrated custodian is in the works, yet still pending approval."

On a side note......Bitcoin Cash is suppose to take a serious upgrade in two days.

Market moves in cycles from BTC back to ALTS.....so figure this If ETH all time high is around 1500 and currently at 200 versus BTC all time high at 20,000 currently at 8,000. Do you think ETH will get to 1500 before BTC gets to 56,000? I would bet an alt season is right around the corner at this point bring btc dominance back to the low 50's.

I'm fighting it big time right now!

I kept 'thinking' about moving some cash into BTC in the mid 4000s last month.

I'm not built for this stuff though. Every time I seem to think too long and never pull the trigger in time.
