    Fukkkkkk I already put in a buy order for $3000

    I'm starting to think the guys that keep promoting/pumping bitcoin or other shitcoins are just trolling.
    It seems so obvious that bitcoins best days are far behind it.

    bitcoin is still usable for money transfers, but as an actual widespread means of exchange/store of wealth/investment/etc, you're right... the fad of it was over when the calendar turned to 2018... at christmas parties last year people wanted to know about bitcoin, now they would call you a fool if you have any crypto

    We are in an Elliott wave.

    This should be the last wave, and then we are going to skyrocket.

    It's going to keep going down, until around 2500-3000, and then it's going to BOOM.

    If it gets below 2000, there might be some trouble.

    Bitcoin requires a confident market in order to flourish.

    I can't see how this recent massive price drop could create anything but more doubt and fear.
    Most sane investors will avoid bitcoin like the plague.
    I'd say chances are slim to none that bitcoin bounces back.

    A very intelligent guy who I've been following for some time has some great analysis for those getting spooked. Bitcoin has gone through multiple, multiple cycles. It's a constant roller coaster and it's usefulness is at its highest point, and its more widely accepted commercially now than ever before. Historically we have seen a bounce near the end of the year almost every year in Bitcoins existence. Now is not the time to sell.

    I can't sell now. I've been on a massive winning streak at nitrogen almost 70x my initial investment...I cashed out a chunk (but did not convert to fiat)right before the initial crash sub 6k...I've lost almost half my profit...if this thing can get back up to 6k I will insta sell... otherwise I'm riding my winnings and nitro balance into the ground.

    well kodak came out with their own kodak coin and SO DID AMAZON, they just didn't market it
    if nobody can come up with their own cryptocurrency, why are there over 2000?

    As I posted in another thread, the Bitcoin Cash war has ended. The miners were losing a lot of money. There's too much money in play for the price to keep falling.

    it went right where i told you guys the chart says it would settle a while
    at 37-3800 -- how long it waffles here we don't know yet
    if this level doesn't hold it will fall to the low 2s.
    better to see if it can break over 4200 and buy on strength
    than pay 37 and watch it fall to the 2's.

    there have been 99 different forks/air drops from bitcoin... proving you can create something out of nothing

    someone that took advantage of all of them would have a whole lot of random coins like bitcoin god/gold/diamond/etc

    yeah it's still useful for gambling, buying guns, and money laundering... same as it ever was

    how do you get to being widely accepted? you can't decentralize a ledger of any size without storage capacity, and you can't keep using up all the world's electricity to mine/store cryptos

    "hey let's all wait 30 minutes for our transactions to confirm while we check out at the grocery store" oh wait the lightning network will fix that and nothing can go wrong

    I agree completely. I know they want to remain "anonymous", but btc itself has said it's not "truly anonymous". That's why some turned to Monero. If they could somehow make it more easy and accessible to the common user, and also 3rd parties provide secure back ups instead of user having too, it may get more traction

    3700 support has breached.

    low 2's are the next strong support. watch closely. today being Sunday
    and with BTC being played by financial markets, tomorrow will confirm.
    it may hang around here but if it goes under 36 and fails to print over 37
    tomorrow it is going to the 2's

    Ppl talking about supports and shit are clearly delusional...2/3 of its value lost from december to nov 14 as ppl realize its not being accepted by virtually anyone outside the crime world...in the past 11 days its dropped 2600 from 6300 to 3700...this idea of supports and shit doesn't work when something is inherently worthless and in free fall...supports work in the stock market bc companies have inherent value (unless the company is utterly worthless which is why u see moviepass go from like 2000 to 2 cents) bitcoin has 0 inherent value as a currency in that its not a recognized currency by any govt and is accepted for payment by virtually no one...its value is derived completely from demand and speculation and as you've seen in the last year and in the last 11 days that demand is getting lower by the day...shedding an average of $250 a day from a crypto worth $3700 will have it worthless in 15 days. If you made a ton last year as it was pumped up allover the place in mainstream media and got out great...if youve got money in bitcoin today get out NOW and save yourself some cash..."investing" in bitcoin right now is retarded

    Your money does not exist in a bank either. If everyone went to cash out they could not.
    Everything is a big ponzi scheme.

    I agree about support levels, that stuff is a joke. It does not really exist.
    Support levels....

    Bitcoin ATMs are popping up throughout the world. When there's a crisis in a country such as Greece or Venezuela, people turn to bitcoin.

    You can use bitcoin to pay for everything if you have a Bitpay debit card. Use it as any other debit card. Go to almost any ATM to convert to cash.

    Comparing banks and the banking system is a real stretch. Supporters of bitcoin can go on hyping it but most people realize its not worth much if anything at all. It was a fun ride but all good things must end.

    Bitcoin is no solution to the problems Greece and venezuela are facing. They have much bigger problems and bitcoin will not help at all.

    What hassle? You can withdraw 24/7 multiple times per day from a sportsbook and have your money in 15 minutes.
