Customers using credit cards on Coinbase: the following card issuers are now blocking purchases of digital currency with credit cards.

Chase
Bank of America
Citi
Capital One

We're encouraging affected customers to switch to debit card or bank account payment methods.

Some see this as bad news but on the contrary it's good you shouldn't be using credit cards to buy crypto if you do not have the money then you shouldn't be taking the risks

I'd leave the decision what to do with funds on credit cards to their owners.
Otherwise we can end up with banks deciding what we're allowed to buy with CCs as a first step, and then they will likely go further.
Hey wait, it's actually happening now  Grin

You may have possession of a credit card but all funds are strictly in ownership of the banks borrowing money on a credit card is no different that taking out a loan

What about some poor fool that got a CC with a nice 10k credit limit and bought a few BCH at $3K expecting it to double quickly only for it to now be worth $2500 and unable to afford the repayments

They are not saying you cannot use a Debit Card where you own the funds in your account just Credit Cards where the bank is loaning you their money big difference

I am just going to guess you are not unbanked


I don't know about where you are from but usually to own a credit card a requirement is that you have to have a bank account





yes the unbanked are living now inside a perfectly designed prison within modern society that is undetectable at most altitudes, 100% agree..   nice of you to notice we even do not have the credit card access to buy with!!!..

leaves no doubt that BCT is the villan, and BCH was never at the scene of the crime, ... but comes in as the white knight in shining armor, and saves digital cash.

There's always a silver lining!!

The dip is over - Senate Testimony posted online early! (self.CryptoCurrency)

Okay, here is the link for the hearing tomorrow. Note the two PDF documents that have their testimony pre-written out.

They basically say, hey ICO's need to be watched so people don't get scammed, but cryptos are spurring technilogical growth and must be protected. In short, it's good news and no crazy regulations!



Maybe ima nuts but ima buying...
 i think many panic sold very quick...very late
the opportunity to gain a high % of coins is to high for too many people now.. Smiley

Clean Code and Scale
BTC lost about 200 Mrd market cap (from the top)
ETH about 60 Mrd
XRP about 100 Mrd ?

This is really huge - this has affected lots of others in this storm down - now it will be interesting, what can survive in long term.

The answer will take some time to become clear. I would guess the market will shake out a lot more players this year. Unfortunately that means more falls and volatility, but it will ultimately be a positive.

Yes - most will be sorted out by the negative momentum (all?) charts show. Only simplicity, quality + usability should make it up again. ICO's might be mostly done for now - so ETH's biggest use case....

Moon?
And flippening will happen during a bear market for what reasons? Weak investors who was shaken out during this brutal downturn and wants nothing to do with crypto anymore suddenly realise that BCH is the ultimate coin and buy unprecedented amounts because of scalability?

Pisssssh.

If flippening would have come it would have been back in fall 2017 when Roger Ver tried to pump it into action. Back then there was so much FUD and FOMO that there was a small chance of reaching a phsycological breaking point creating the flip. As it is now anyone can see that the way BCH price is tied to BTC is like a suckling pig to its mother, It's been clearly demonstrated that BCH can't stand on its own.

Flippening is much more likely now than before imo, I couldn't see BCH taking over bitcoin throne if noobies got rekt in the process, but that assumed the change to BCH happened in the bull phase, which would have had most new investors taking a bbc up the tail-pipe north of 20K USD.

Flippening during a bear leaves no doubt that BCT is the villan, and BCH was never at the scene of the crime, the mass noobie rape fest, but comes in as the white knight in shining armor, and saves digital cash.

There's always a silver lining!!

^ yeap , also usdt propping up of old btc is prob gone too...
giving both coins a more even playing field...
BCH will be worth more than old btc this year.


You've been saying that for the last 6 month

First BCH will be worth more in 1 month
Then BCH will be worth more in 3 month
Then BCH will be worth more by end of year

Now BCH will be worth more by end of year


In reality BCH opened trading at around 0.16 BTC
Dropped fast to around 0.07B TC
Slowly gained value to around 0.13 BTC
Got pumped hard to 0.20 BTC
Slowly declined back to around 0.16 BTC

Now whole market down it's back to around 0.12 BTC

So in 6 months BCH has made ZERO gains overall
wtf,  when did i say 1month or 3month lol
i said  clearly to you and many others...
THIS SUMMER 2018

Having analyzed the crypto currency market for the perione of bitcoin falling from $ 1000 to $ 170, I can confidently say that now it is a very big correction. Many argue. that the bubble burst. but this is far from the case. On the contrary, now is a very profitable time for big investments and Bitcoin Cash is one of the coins profitable for investment. This is the first and most cool fork of fork. I advise you to buy at the bottoms.
Stock market and crypto markets, this is people hard working money, many might never invest in crypto after this bubble.

Bubble bursts are necessary to knock out the multitude of weak entities in the market. Things will be better later and people will invest when they believe everything is more stable. It's not the end of anything.

Even Bitcoin will survive, but it will not be the dominant player long term. Legitimate platforms will thrive later, just like Ebay and Amazon did after the early-2000's bubble.

This was going to happen no matter what. The gains of late 2017 were too dramatic for it to do anything but what it is doing now - coming down.

Crypto bubbles seem to cycle every 18-24 months. Based on the previous 2, we can expect a take off for another one late 2019, or early 2020; which will be close to next halving in June 2020.
Looks like there's enough time for identifying new winners, and good old leaders.

I strongly doubt it will take that long. Now that cryptocurrency is in the mainstream, I think the prices will start recouping after there is a delay in bad news and/or FUD.
