I know! And indeed alt-coins were extremely strong against Bitcoin. And that's my whole point that currently this is changing. And that's so odd.... just now at the moment of hyper tension and fear about Bitcoins-protocol change... we see alt-coin capital flowing out more than Bitcoin (in fiat...

And just as bonus, here the chart for Ethereum. And be aware that these are real trades between BTC and Ethereum. No fiat dollars involved. So the real presentation from capital flowing out-off ETH into BTC.

Ha.... I'm on Reddit as well, and also there they currently noticed: "alt-coin value is running back to Bitcoin" (and fiat).

Ha.... while you are correct that among all alt-coins LTC was the strongest (Ethereum one of the weakest). It still lost value against BTC. See this chart from July 5 till now.

Pfff.... trading among themselves will not increase market cap at all (it only influences volume)..... Your first post was "capital is flowing to alt-coins". So on what did you based that thesis? Use that same thesis on the current market and you will see that currently the opposite is happening.

what a completely off-topic argument. I replied to your quote "capital is moving to alt-coins" with the actual current truth: "capital is moving back from alt-coin to Bitcoin".

Well, currently (last full week) the opposite is going on. Everything is tens of % more in red than Bitcoin itself. One week ago Bitcoin's dominance was around 36% now it's nearly 50% again:

Here's a fairly good explanation (skip the Ethereum part): http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-07-10/looming-crypto-civil-war-sends-virtual-currencies-crashing-ethereum-below-200 I think stakes are too high for both sides to let it fail (which is just how bitcoin's protocol incentives should...

For Etherium I don't know but for Bitcoin you have Auctions where you can dump large numbers (if you spread over a few days): https://gemini.com/auction-data/

Yes I have those as well for several coins. :-)

Just a dumb whale, hitting a huge Market-order. His own fault, but he still is very, very rich :-)

Regulation means "in the same way as" your Stock Broker/Exchange is regulated. Covering: KnowYourCustomer & AntiMoneyLaundering, as well as the FDIC coverage ($250.000) and of course Taxes. :)

Wrong: This Coinbase/GDAX is heavily regulated. Go outside the USA if you want otherwise.

1) not correct! The hour that the flashcrash happened other exchanges reacted within the range of 10-20%. I just calculated that Kraken did -17% 2) you still didn't read the link, heh? They (the exchange) paid it from their OWN funds. 3) agree. The exchange shouldn't play Santa Claus. It's...

1) indeed about 10-20% but not to nearly zero as GDAX did. And this is just the same like any flashcrash on any of the Stock/Futures markets which happens equally as common: the fat finger-trade itself is (regularly) turned-back, but all other derivative products and markets aren't. 2) read...

And again you are the misinformed Troll. It's already know for two days that this flashcrash, although not the fault of the exchange, is reimbursed completely: http://www.coindesk.com/gdax-exchange-reimburse-ether-flash-crash/

Main cause of what? ... this thread is about "Buy & Hold"... But about the point you bring up. Flash-crashes occur when there isn't a filled book with buy-Limit-orders together with too many Stop-orders waiting. It's actually a good thing that exchanges are isolated, because then such a...

Nahhh... Buy & Hold in the crypto-world means that after you buy you immediately pull back your coins from the exchange (to preferable a hard-wallet). This behavior is very different from normal stock-exchanges, and is the cause why the liquidity is so low. And why you cannot trade this market...

You just behave as an ignorant stubborn Troll. People ignore Trolls. Especially those from the crypto-currency scene (as they are freedom fighters, true liberal cyberpunks). You can keep crying wolf, but you sound so 2013....

Is billions of transactions per day good enough for you? I think so, as it's more than what's possible by Visa (). This video is already dated, they have working code already and are just waiting for a fix of the Bitcoin-malleability-bug. Which will be solved the moment that SegWit is...
