Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"

Btc is worth $10k alone on notary.. now add other use cases.. speculative is a special word here.

in theory, it has huge intrinsic value. but it needs the infrastructure, which it doesn't have right now. I cant think of a single use of bitcoin that can support a price of more than, say, $50 today. speculators exiting the market would crush that price support.

All speculators exiting at the same time would require that everyone recognizes at the same time that bitcoin has no value whatsoever. Of course 50 USD would be crushed. The probability of that happening right now is close to 0.
Millions of USD are being invested by angel investors in the infrastructure right now, hundreds of ATM are being planned and installed. The money is not going in the bitcoin for now but in its infrastructure.
When bitcoin price is going up, it increases the relative return on capital on companies and infrastructure investment as compared to direct bitcoin investment. Which means more interesting to invest in infrastructure. As the money is going to infrastructure, it is not going in BTC anymore which is depressing the price while investments are being made in infrastructure (current situation).



The last bull run has triggered massive investment decisions in the startups and infrastructure. This money is going "in" bitcoin but not affecting the BTC price. Yet.



That seems like a very good point.. and it could even allow for BTC price stagnation for an additional 6 months or so from today... but sooner or later, as you seem to be implying, we are going to get some transference of focus from infrastructure towards the acquisition of BTC to facilitate and publicize the use of these various infrastructure pieces.. which will likely cause considerable demand for bitcoins and fractions thereof..

@JayJuanGee

The situation is not as bad as it looks. Almost 31.5% are still somewhat bullish in this forum.

When China is out of the game what do you think in which range will we be tradin for months after that?
5-85$    - 9 (8.3%)
85$-140$    - 8 (7.4%)
140$-180$    - 6 (5.6%)
180$-250$    - 5 (4.6%)
250$-306$    - 14 (13%)
306$-400$    - 22 (20.4%)
400$-450$ (unrealistic option)    - 14 (13%)
450$-480$ (delusional option)    - 20 (18.5%)
0$ GAME OVER (igorr option)    - 6 (5.6%)
-100$    - 4 (3.7%)

Would you give up trying to convince everyone that this is the bottom and the reversal is about to happen to a new ATH you clowns. You know very well from these charts that the odds are we are going down even further, below 400, but you're angry because you're stuck in your stubborn HODL position.  I guess HODL isn't so glorious now, is it.

I used to enjoy your TA posts, but ever since you turned bear they've gotten so nasty and bitter, that they just make me cringe  Sad


It makes me wonder, really, whether posters are being genuine and non-biased when they are transforming from bearish to bullish without really putting their transformation in a convincing argument.... and then when they seem to be throwing out mudslinging and calling names to peeps with an alternative view.. ... Makes it seem as if there may be some ulterior motive at work.

Why are there only two cases and why do you believe that a downwards move from here is the end of bitcoin? It could very well recover in some years time.

I said - the speculative weight will bring it down. all the capital is speculative. 99%. if this asset is not performing in 6 months time, the crash will self perpetuate to zero. by then investors could afford to replace it with a new coin. google could pounce on the opportunity, for example. Ripple (although inferior) might hold the fort until bitcoin is dead.

Btc is worth $10k alone on notary.. now add other use cases.. speculative is a special word here.

I never heard of Notary being able to increase BTC prices... how so?  Why would you need a certain amount of BTC to perform notary?  I can see remittances causing a very high demand for BTC.. b/c let's say you want to transfer 1000 dollars from one country to another.  .. you purchase the appropriate amount of BTC and perform the transmission.. and it could be that the dollars would be in BTC for a while.. before it can be used again.. that creates value.. and maybe the same BTC can be used several times in a 24 hour period to transfer value to and from various parts of the world.. that causes BTC prices to increase.    A notary is an administration function.. how would that create value.. could do it with 1 satoshi.. no?  can you explain?

在這種情況下,這將是負的$ 100,[/ B]



Impossible!

Chinese themself are still in denial, they still haven´t realized how bad the overall situation really is.
I think i have to post more in their local sub-forum to keep them up to date what´s goin on.

Does anyone honestly think that no more bad news will come out of China?

Do you honestly think it will make any difference?

what are they going to do, confirm the confirmation?

I think its niave to think that more bad news out of China doesnt drop the price again, its been confirmed pretty much since the announcment in december but every new announcement drops the price, This is due to the negativity of the news itself and also the sharks causing panic and selling on every bit of news. Its an effective stratergy as can be seen!

... The market has been flat for 9 days despite 'utter disaster', something I expected.... and I assure you, HODL is better than shotr right now. this 'trend' is very vulnerable to a spike into the upper 500s, and 400 is growing stronger every day.

we are in territory for a reversal. I dont see why the odds are that we are going down. Im not going to put too much faith in your macd. and this is not a trend as such, it is a correction.



Why do you bother with this guy? Every post he makes about how we are going down is because of his need to buy cheaper coins. You could basically say he's trolling.  There is no point in argueing with him. He can't give you any real reasons why we would go down.


The pot calling the kettle black.. hm? 

I thought he (Tera) was a she, and she does seem to give some reasons why she is making such BTC downward trend predictions..... even though I do NOT agree with her, she provides specifics and charts and even talks about some of her experiences. 

She does seem to have some logic defying push towards downward trajectory that seems to be in part based on low volume, too.. ... ..  I think in the next six months she (tera) will be shown to be wrong in her overall trajectory.. but I am NOT even so confident that she will be wrong to make any kind of bet of money upon it and against her... ON the other hand, with you, shroomskit, I was confident to bet against your various projections.. that we would be below $350 by this monday or alternatively that we would be below $350 within the next two weeks... that was truly a bet that seemed, a the time, worth taking b/c it was pure pie in the sky...... but NOW you seem to be taking a different view, for some reason?

As for now not all of the exchanges have announced that also bank deposits and withdrawls will be blocked.
Huobi /BTCChina for example are still ignoring it. If that channel gets blocked too , then the real tragedy will unfold.
And a lot more money will leave the market. Right now only 3d party is blocked and they were still able to use bank accounts,
so it made not that big difference.

Just my BTC0.00000002

I wished that we could fix these decimal places.. it is too complicated to count 8-ish decimal places.

For some reason, my brain starts to swim after about 4 decimal places.

I agree it's very unconvenient.

This is why we use separators for numbers with many digits :  9,000,000.045 - to improve readability.

We should move the decimal at least 3 digits further : 2.18 BTC = 1 USD

I would like to get to about 100 BTC.. .  b/c currently, I only have about 50BTC...   Of course, more would be even better, but it is NOT easy to keep setting this money aside.. .. at least for mere mortals, which currently, I am claiming to be a mere mortal.

50 BTC is enough to move down the price by 5 USD.  Grin

just wanted to throw in that we see a recovery on ltc/btc right now, also the ltc volume in china is kinda high compared to btc volume. additionally the ltc difficulty has reached a new ath.

was it just about time? And is this also bullish for btc because when people believe in altcoins they first have to believe in bitcoin and that the worst is over now?

holy shit boys....500 BTC sell wall on BFX eaten!

Seller buys his own ask wall in one bit, to enleash bullish sentiment, puts a few small asks (20-40BTC) up afterwards that are bought from the "pigs" . Useful strategy in a low volume market when someone wants to get rid of coins.

And loses a few thousand in fees, hardly worth it really...
Im afraid fonzie is right about this, it happends, i saw it few times. Guessing some have special fee discounts, close to zero type, esp on stamp, Ive seen same amount traded back and forth several times back and forth.
