    Bitcoin Price Thread

    2018 has not been kind to bitcoin, but my guess is that bitcoin will not go below $3,000 as there's too much interest from "big money". I think 2019 will be a bull market for bitcoin (and crypto assets). https://nulltx.com/bitcoin-price-possible-bottom/ Among these participants also includes...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    Thank you my friend :) I wish the best for you. My crypto investment cost is negative now, so I can hold even if bitcoin goes to zero. I don't post much on the thread anymore as hardly anyone here on ET is interested in trading or investing in cryptocurrencies. I held through the 2014-2016...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    SunTrader, that reply was for dozu, I used the same words he did on his last message but forgot to hit reply on his message. No worries, you can reply as you wish but I am not trading cryptos to fiat, I'm a hodler and taking the long term view.

    No interest? That's too bad. You have so much confidence calling direction on "this stuff" but you can't put money where your mouth is.

    ***NSFW*** Sex workers slam crypto-based ‘Uber for escorts’ over safety fears

    I didn't invest in those companies so it's not my concern what they do. However, I'm asking for one single item from you as you mentioned you invested in the blockchain and surely you know what you're investing in.

    ***NSFW*** Sex workers slam crypto-based ‘Uber for escorts’ over safety fears

    I'm sorry I came across as such. I'll be more careful to not appear that way. Can you please tell me what you see on the blockchain that is so important to the companies you mentioned? Just one single item that is not available on an Oracle database system...

    ***NSFW*** Sex workers slam crypto-based ‘Uber for escorts’ over safety fears

    No, it's fine. They have to do what they have to do. I'm trying to educate you. I never said they cannot use a blockchain. Of course they can. I'm trying to inform you that that the database systems they currently have are much superior to a blockchain. The value they get from...

    ***NSFW*** Sex workers slam crypto-based ‘Uber for escorts’ over safety fears

    Bitcoin is in a downtrend/bear market. I don't know where the bottom is, but I will start buying again if it goes below $2000. I've been in bitcoin since 2013, and was a miner. I compile bitcoin binaries from source (github repo) every time there's a new version, and I don't even wanna bore you...

    Winklevoss twins bitcoin ETF rejected by SEC

    I obviously disagree with you and I have a post on the "overview on bitcoin" thread. I was around during the dotcom bubble... If you really have that much conviction against bitcoin, you should put some money and short it or the futures. I'm invested in bitcoin on the long side.

    An Overview of Bitcoin

    I think what is hard for the naysayers to see is that bitcoin is a complex beast that has many functionalities (jack of all trades). They point out that bitcoin is useless as a "insert_use_case" since we already have this "fill in the blank", and they only see limitations. Do we all remember...
