Topic: I hope you guys won't fall for this BCH joke - page 8. (Read 3702 times)

What you describe is what altcoins are for, and what happened happens a lot there. Why would you rejoice from an attempt (& maybe partial success) at ruining the BTC brand?

Check the hundreds of altcoins, with some of them you will double (or lose all) your capital in a day. Yes of course it's risky, but guess what, the idiots who bought BCH above 2000 all lost a lot of money as well.

You earned 30% in a weekend, sure, but if this attack had succeeded, you would have had to find other markets, no more money to make in the crypto world that would have lost its icon.

(and you're an asshole)

Hi!
This is my first ever post in bitcointalk forum. I was planning to just read the comments about cryptocurrency and try to understand behind of it...
But I saw comments on this subject and many others, I just can't hold my self anymore...

First of all BCH issue on last weekend:
I bought and sold it at right times and earned more than 30% of my capital. In conventional finance world, if you earn 30% over weekend, it's unbelievable crazy. Similar things happens in stock exchanges, especially new company IPOs. But no one says "it's a trap to sell abc" or what so ever. So, please stop saying BCH is shit, or it's trap etc.
In finance world there are always manipulators, big banks, big players who can manipulate and earn more. In cryptocurrency world, the more it gets famous and reknown, the more manipulators will join. At some point, the thing you called "shit, trap" might give biggest profit to investors.

Many people here is promoting Btc with baseless hype, or let say simply like "apple fanboys"; saying "Btc is king and will be king bla bla". But why? Except a few person, there is not much solid explanation...
In finance world "money" always looks for safe place. This is golden rule. No matter how much you love an asset, if money feels it's not safe, it will leave.
Also another rule is profit maximizing. BTC so far did a good job about this; but we all saw how volatile was BTC, when a limited power backed BCH for short time.
So, please keep in mind: if a few big banks, fund management companies, a few rich guys comes together and decides to take down BTC, believe me they can. At some point what you call "weak hands" could be you, because you also want to keep your money safe; or at least maximize your profit short or long term.

What I suggest is, stop giving empty hype to people. Instead, pinpont BTC problems (scaling, block size?) and gather a community power to push developers to come with solutions. Otherwise in future even big banks, rich guys won't be necessary for BTC to be replaced.

Regards

BCH big fall down within a day https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash
When BCH reach 2000$+ this moment i sold my 3 BCH it was perfect time for sell.Now BCH rate $1200
Hold tight for increasing.I think after few days again increase.

I think many people did panic selling bitcoin last week to buy bitcoin cash,maybe now they are regretting it already because they are going to lost twice. Sooner or later somebody will ask for help and advice of what will going to do that after selling bitcoin for bitcoin cash in which at this moment is starting to fall down and the most worst scenario if BCH will continue to fall down because bitcoin cash holders are now panicking and start selling their coins back to bitcoin.

Lol this is a trap dont be greedy to much in bch because bitcoin will go back again and i know that after novermber? Or november 30 or dec1 the bitcoin will going increase again so we need to hold it just hold it .

Bitcoin cash will never be existing too long at the peak price. Same, I have believe it will never be competing with bitcoin. Bitcoin still be the most used and it will be pumped again, and bitcoin cash will be just dropping its price.

yes, a sudden pump in BCH all jokes, i think this could be as a gift for our Christmas , this is a cheap trap. so by now if you still have stock Btc then hold better, otherwise if you got sell BCH make sure sell before Christmas, because bitcoins will still be an irreplaceable item until the end of the year.

   I beleive bitcoin has one serious advantage - criptic creators. So we may only guess who are behind it, it could be some very powerfull organization or bunch of them. The fact that bitcoin became a subject of millions people daily discussion says much. Unpredictable huge persentage increases can not be explained as pure hype. That mistery keeps my spirit up.
   Even if bitcoin is a bubble it may be considered as a long pocker game in which everyone, who got a patience, is able to win something

People accepting it or not is all that gives power to any of these coins. As such, almost any of them could grow, or become irrelevant. It is true, however, that rich players are going to disproportionately higher amount of influence.

I just hope that I will be in the right conversations/group when they discuss the next coin that will be pumped. These guys made a killing by buying these coins when they were dirt cheap and selling them when they were super pumped. These people are very organised and they can definitely influence the price by acting collectively.

The question is, will this be a current Alt coin or a new fork? That is the million dollar question.  

Yes i think too that is a trading "idea" , maybe people with big money created this for earn big money
BCH is only a fork of bitcoin, so i think that can't never beat the original bitcoin
Maybe at the end of 2018 the price can return to $7-8k

...

I didn't fall for the hype of bitcoin cash but i know a lot of my co-social media users and users of bitcoin that they fell for it because they know that bitcoin cash will continue to go up even higher than the price of a half of bitcoin so they just keep buying and buying and right now they lose a lot of profit because of their greediness.

yes that is right bitcoin will prevail. now bitcoin cash is dumping and a lot suffer because of it

Bitcoin Cash sank so low that no one can consider it a credible option anymore. End of the game, hopefully.

Shitcoin trash is already on the move down again. The rise is not organic and earned, it is a pump and dump scheme. Who supports a coin with a price that can be so obviously manipulated? 

I have witnessed bitcoin drop drastically recently, meanwhile bitcoin cash was rising and attracted investors to bitcoin, but now those investors may take huge risks because both bitcoin and bitcoin cash are droping, so still think the better way is to hold your bitcoin until it rise again.

At the end of the day, Bitcoin shall be king.

It takes many hard, painful lessons to hold this statement close to the heart. But its the best statement i can tell anyone new to crypto.

That's the spirit although it could be tough at this time considering the difference in what the price is saying and the point you made the purchases but stay strong it could look like a long way to reach but really it might not even take up to a day and not as long as it seems.

When I saw the price of BCH went as high as above $2000, I was really shocked to think what amount of percentage increase in a matter of say 48hours I don't think bitcoin ever witnessed such percentage increase ( I stand to be corrected) yet the whole bubble is about bitcoin and not any other alt with no basis to justify such.

I sold all my BCH for a decent price >.35 BCH/BTC, I spread my assets, but vast majority remains in BTC. I don’t care about Roger Ver and company (or shall I say, thank you). For the moment, they made me having a great X-mas. And I’m not going back in BCH (unless there would be a fundamental reason) just because rumors says, those kids are gonna play. If the community would counter attack his actions, he might lose a lot of money, but people are scared. Unfortunately.
