Ah ok.
Well I don't know how they would want to do it. Yes exchanges are not anonymous, but you don't use exchange if you want anonymous. You pays and receive in btc and if you want cash you go through local bitcoin  Grin

CoinBase sent me a nastygram telling me that they were dropping my daily limit due to their data showing that I was selling my bitcoins on localbitcoins. ...

I worry about you, Elwar. Perhaps start some sort of a cash business, like a hot dog stand maybe, to explain those bags of dirty fiat you bring to your bank?

Volume around $50 was insane. The resistance at this price will now be over 9000, or something.

Siting the fact that I would need to register in the US to sell bitcoins. However I am in Europe so that doesn't really apply to me. But I would imagine similar things taking place in the EU if they follow the US lead.

Europe wants end to anonymous Bitcoin transactions

Good luck to them trying to find a way of enforcing that Grin

Just like in the US they would focus on the exchanges.

What? Btc exchange are forbidden in the US? Then how am I buying and selling my btc?

The EC are concerned about the perceived anonymity of BTC transactions. US exchanges have AML/KYC measures in place - transactions aren't anonymous.

The plan therefore calls for virtual currency exchange platforms to be brought under the scope of the European Anti-Money Laundering Directive, which would mean exchanges would have to report just who used their services and when they were used. The Action Plan says “The Commission will also examine whether to include virtual currency 'wallet providers'.”

Yeah, this is all kinda expected, it's really bringing exchanges in Europe in-line with exchanges in the US. And, as you say, people can still use localbitcoin or exchanges outside the EU (and the US). I suspect, though, that this is just the beginning (in the EU) - localbitcoin is already under attack in the US (Burt W here on BCT, for example) and I imagine it's just a matter of time before the EU clamp down on it because TERRORISM. AND DRUGS. And because the €500 note was feelin unloved.

It will still have some dips until they come up with a positive news that will make investors to come back to bitcoin from altcoins like ETH.

I don't understand why ETH has such a success right now.

What makes it really different from btc? I mean should I worry and decide to go on ethtalk.org? xD

I'm sure we will come up with something disruptively cunning and original, like not calling our exchange an exchange but a dice site which both accepts and lets you cash out in BTC or Euro.

I do not think that they can control it at all, all what they can do is blocking bitcoin debit cards in EU countries and and blocking exchange sites, but they will not be able to forbade people from exchange BTC as indiviuals

Depends on how much & how these "individuals" trade Sad

Bitcoin: bleeding since 2015(TM)

What a awful year... and seems to go worse

2015 an awful year?

Perhaps you were thinking of 2014, the only calendar year with a drop in the price of bitcoins.

2015 was actually a pretty good year for Bitcoin. It started around $300 and finished over $430 for an increase of over 40%. Not a bad year at all.

I mean awful 2016 Wink

Agreed! Just hope it's a black January and it won't go on very longer ^^

Looks like someone flashed a Superdump signal on finex.






What's a Superdump signal? Was it the spike down to 365 lik the spike down to 367 on Bitstamp? There was a spike down about ten hours ago, but it didn't go as deep or have as much volume. Does the magnitude of a spike  determine how big a dump it precedes, or does a succession of spikes precede a dump?
