Bitcoin
For anyone that didn't already know Bitcoin will be doing a split as of July 31,2017. So half of the nodes will but running software that is not compatible with the current which will result in some nodes propagating confirmed results and that other won't recognize.
Basically, any btc received or sent after may get to its destination or it may not, and on the chance it does make it to the correct address it may disappear which means you lose money even when buying from atms or reliable sources.
This form of payment has become a big part of this community and when a source shared this with me I figured everyone should known if they didn't already. So spend them if you have them or put them in cold storage or on a flash drive or something else to keep your money safe.

Pale cashed out and bought a beach ...with a house on it. Due to the size of the sell from a US exchange, it created a bit of FUD in the other exchanges around the world and bitcoin dropped 18% or $1,000 to $9,200.
Thankfully the price rebounded to a more sane $10,000 price within a few hours.
Very nice and good for Pale brother Greg! I hope we recieve invitations to his island paradise :))
The more times the price crosses the $10,000 barrier, the less psychological effect/resistance it becomes.
True that, and it already soar passed 11k which now makes everything between here and there less shaky. Practically a given that it will get there again.
I won't lie, today gave me a headache. High, highs and low enough lows. But in spite of the chaos I am still finishing higher tonight than I ended last night.
I'd say by the end of next year it will be worth 30 or 40k$ a share. It's going to be the new online currency to use for everything.
I hope you are right but I am not convinced.
$11,480
10,000 has been breached. Where do we go?
To the moon, infinity, and beyond... @ $10,389 now.
I'm not anticipating a 25% +/- retracement until January 10th sometime (Bringing the price down to bargain prices of $8,000). But this is is crazy.
Hopefully we'll just see a pullback to the upper $9,000 with a slower rise above 10K but we also have CME and others making their move in 3 weeks, so who knows.
I have to get used to 6 figures... Reminds me of a time I made a bid on my first big 5 figure contract. I was nervous as all hell. After a few more of those they didn't seem to be enough so I chased after the 6 figures.
So (wiping sweaty palms in the top of my thighs) I guess I need to get used to it all over again.
You ain't lying. I have been trading stocks since 07 and this week my BTC eclipsed that account and now this morning I wake up with it at 10,800 and me another 10k richer . insanity
$9,300 Monday will be interesting as will be the rest of the month. This is the month wall street jumps in, and the 10K mark is within reach plus you have christmas and the new year.
We'll probably see a continued run up with a pause at $9,500. I wouldn't doubt if there will be a lot of profit taking at 10k as people like pale ;-) have made pledges to "bale" when holdings get to X dollars (My wife said the same thing today) -No, the fun is just about to start. HODL.**
I also wouldn't put it past Bitcoin cash to try another pump attack on Bitcoin if we should see a 25% retracement as we've seen 3 times in the past few months.
** Hold on for dear life
I said I was bailing at a certain large number which I crossed at 8800. Now we are at 9450. Logic, greed, wisdom and insanity are all swirling around in my head. I know what I should do, just don't know if I will.
Same here, even if it was 50% cash out I can be relieved or pissed at I did.
Be damned either way. The right thing to do is probably to cash out half.
I'm not that bright... besides, doesn't really matter. I'm already a trillionaire... I bought a zimbabwean trillion dollar bill on ebay for 3 bucks so I can have bragging rights to that fact.
LOL, i forgot. I guess we are back to just holding?
I'm holding.
Me too.
The way it is running she might make 10k yet before morning.
Coinbase opened 100,000 new accounts in 24 hours Thurs-Friday.
The current run up is said to have been sparked by conversations about bitcoin with family members over Thanksgiving dinner.
Coinbase is doggy. I've used them twice, first time my transaction went smooth, then the second time they declined my card. Doesn't make any sense.
apparently they think you are dodgy.
Makes sense.
well played
;-)
...making it's move. $8,750 at the moment
I am so close to where I said I was bailing. But I ain't bailing lol
bitcoin can fall 85% and I'd still be ahead.... I'd be crying at the loss of my unclaimed riches, but still ahead.
And that is what confounds those that are screaming bubble, cats are not interested in selling.
You guys that bought Ether are happy and it looks like she is running for 500.
Everything you ever wanted to know about bitcoin and more.

I am probably going to need talking down off the edge soon bro lol
Well boys it finally broke 8,000.00. Gonna be an interesting week.
Interesting indeed brother Pale! Also nice to see Ethereum make a solid move over the weekend after languishing for months! Wishing you the best always my friend!
Yes Ether did!. Anyone who bought ether a few weeks ago is thrilled right now.
and LTC as well
ETH up 13% for the week
LTC up 18% for the week
BTC up 25% for the week
"Thrilled"! Oh yes, and great choice of words!
Yes, it seems to me that the crypto currency will soon become an integral part of our life. I even plan to invest money in bitcoins. But is it really safe? Many sources write that the price of bitcoin will continue to grow (for example - https://bitcoinbestbuy.com/ ), but how can you be sure that this is so?
Nothing is "safe", everything carries risk. If you can afford to invest just do it.
But I'm not the most determined person XD
Sounds like you need to sit on the sidelines.
You think so?(
Hang on to your hat's,......... it could be getting ready for a run at $10,000.
Full disclosure/disclaimer: I don't own any.
I check it at least 100 times a day,lol. And for the record I am in
We are back over 7k again, I think maybe we weathered the storm.
I think I have whiplash,lol.
check out the post date of these links BTC could have been (perhaps is still) under attack.

Roger Ver moved his fuckton of BTC presumably to pump BCH...
Also, this is eye opening - Jihan WU
Playing with billions of dollars and the dreams of millions who want to see BTC work... I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me there was a hitman or two looking for him.
