I'm just sitting here waiting for the dump after the segwit gets activated in LTC...
and it might also be the inspiration to push it forward for btc too. you never know.
the thing is btc actually have a real use for segwit... ltc is just hype show
I think this is the perfect way to approach the possibility with bitcoin. There are too many people who would've been too cautious to run it without it being activated elsewhere. A lot of cool stuff will mushroom on litecoin. Bitcoin will want a slice of the action too.

Not exactly. Segwit is not only about a TPS increase. It is also a malleability fix, and, more importantly, opens the LN accesibility. Any coin that plans to be used as a fast payment system will need LN.
Also, once/if Litecoin has Segwit active and well tested the path for Bitcoin Segwit will be easier.
This is VERY bullish in the medium/long term.

am i the only one who thinks we will see a dump to 1k area?
Maybe, not a huge deal I'd say since we were at $1K March 26th, February 15th, February 1st, January 1st-4th, and before that at times...

When they are all pessimistic, you know that the FUD is doing their job. Guys Tehter has been consolidating for quite a while now and the last weak hands has been shaken out. I expect a Tether pump to 10 USD this week! It has the most stable pattern that I have ever seen! Really nice consolidation and the fundamentals are great!

Who would ever want to trade [your] Bitcoins for dollars?
The taxman.
Too bad for them though, since we weren't trading them for dollars.. we we're trading them for tulips.. err .. tethers.

Strange since I thought BTC-E had issues withdrawing USD as well?
don't they have multiple methods of moving usd? they do visa cards as well and all the fiat is moved by third parties so maybe some aren't going through taiwan. but btc-e is a seriously weird place anyway.
and for more price weirdness check the chinese prices. there's nearly a $300 spread between there and bitfinex.

Almost 120$ difference between the price at finex and the price at btc e right now

But everybody already knows bitcoin doesn't work the way salesmen like Antonopolous claim it does, so without further ado, you can stop watching Antonopolous propaganda and view the full one hour Richard Spencer Q&A at Auburn Univ:

Just so noone else wastes their time scanning thru this video, it contains NO mention of bitcoin at any point.
There was a mention of the Mises institute.

Happy days, the price is creeping up. Whilst nothing overly exciting (long term) a successful assault on $1300 would feel good.
As for BFX, they've had so many problems over the last year or two. I have no idea why people were still willing to leave bitcoin's or USD there. So many warnings but people continued to use them. Fuckinh stupid if you ask me.

Interestingly, bitfinex's determination to fix their problems (bfx tokens) makes them come across as honestly trying. Why would an exchange suddenly act maliciously and fleece everybody, when they have worked hard to make up for their past technical and financial issues? Then again, Gox had (and tried to fix?) problems before the big heist.
When you play with fire, you can get burnt. You can also cook a great steak.
I have been pondering this a bit too.
My dollar situation on Bitfinex is a bit strange.
In August 2016, just like everyone else who held value on Bitfinex, about 36% of my value on Bitfinex was socialized into BFX tokens, and over about 7 months those BFX tokens were slowly reimbursed.. maybe around 10% of them were reimbursed into dollars between September 2016 and March 2017, even though bitcoin prices doubled during that time.
So, yeah there ended up being opportunity costs to have had value tied up in BFX tokens, but then April 3, Bitfinex reimbursed 100% of all of the then outstanding BFX tokens, which caused my account to have a larger percentage of dollars in the account.
Thereafter, when the bank account drama developed and therefore BTC price disparities, it became less feasible to buy bitcoins with dollars on Bitfinex because the price of bitcoins on Bitfinex turned into about a 5-8% premium.
And, again the price disparity that conveniently came after they had redeemed all BFX tokens seems like another opportunity for insiders on Bitfinex to game the system.
Sure, I don't really want to read malice into coincidences and/or incompetence, but sometimes the longer that the disparity exists, the more opportunities seem to exist for insiders to exploit and make appearances as one thing when other things are going on (isn't that smoke and mirrors?).
I guess that I am saying that the situation can become a bit more irritating, when you might hold value there and then you recognize these little ways in which your value is potentially being undermined and/or manipulated in ways that are really difficult to prove.
Again, I am not really much of any kind of conspiracist, but these coincidental disparities continue to cause concerns.
I'm with you on this one.. I want to believe but the timing of the 100% token redemption is so suspicious. Apparently their bitcoin reserves have stopped their drop over the last 24 hours, so maybe it could still end well
They should have an easier time pulling a rabbit out of this hat, as compared with the one in August 2016...
But sometimes when us regular people don't really know all the circumstances, we can find out that more shenanigans were taking place than we had anticipated.. then we have another GOXing... which I would hate to think that bitfinex is anywhere near that level of messed up, yet.
