**There is a lot of news on Reddit about Litecoin. I can't find anything yet outside of Litecoin's twitter and Reddit so I'm not posting it but it might be worth watching today to see what happens. They might be attempting to pump it up.

Ethereum Price Forecast – ETH to Get Futures Contract, Like Bitcoin
Investors that missed out on the Bitcoin surge to $7,834.72 should pay close attention to today’s Ethereum news update. ETH is on the verge of getting its own derivatives market, which is precisely what sent Bitcoin flying to the moon last month.

BITCOIN HITS $8,000 AS THE SEGWIT2X HARD-FORK FAILS
Bitcoin renewed its unrelenting trajectory into the stratosphere and reached a fresh all-time high of $8,040 USD during intraday trading on November 17, 2017. On the same date, a group of developers unsuccessfully attempted to implement the Segwit2x hard-fork.

Is Tether and Bitfinex the New MT Gox?
Allegations are being made that bitcoin’s biggest exchange, Bitfinex, which is currently handling some incredible volumes of $800 million in the past 24 hours, is printing money out of thin-air through Tether, a centrally issued token that is meant to be backed by dollars.

Launch of SegWit2x Turns Into one big Joke
As was to be expected, SegWit2x eventually launched. Without much of the fanfare originally associated with it, mind you. A small group of developers and miners decided to go ahead with this fork anyway. Whether or not this was a smart decision or not, remains to be determined. The launch itself has not gone off without a hitch. In fact, the nodes are struggling and the network has come to a standstill.

100 cryptocurrencies described in four words or less



This list describes cryptocurrencies.

Each gets four words. There are many.

Some are landmarks. Some are scams.

Hopefully this provides orientation.

Tether Critical Announcement - $30,950,010 USDT was removed from the Tether Treasury wallet on November 19, 2017 and sent to an unauthorized bitcoin address.





They will get most of the money back. Tether locked it down pretty fast. The tokens are worthless now. Hopefully we wont see much of a impact.

Tether is a token that is suppose to have the same value as USD. So if you want to take your money out of Bitcoin and put it in USDT on the exchange and jump back into BTC at the dip, that is how you do it, through Tether.

Interesting.. I have been watching BTC the past couple hours and wondering why it's headed down a bit.

Annoying though... the news wasn't released till a few hours later.

I wonder how people get this information so quick!

I only found out what happened after it bounced back up...

I looked at CoinMarketCap.com last night and all the top 10-20 currencies were in the red. Like WTF?

The Crypto Community is so deep it's like the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland or the Matrix. You have to constantly keep your eye on a live chat like IRC or a Discord server where thousands of people from all over the world are constantly posting news they hear or see. Depending on where you get your info it can take a while to trickle down.

There's a good channel out there somewhere, we just have to find it, or never stop looking.

I found a website that uses a bot to pull news from all over the web but it's no where near as fast a live chat for getting info. You can check it out though, its good for 1st thing in the morning to catch up.

Did you notice the attempt to pump Bitcoin Gold? I think it might have been that news coming out that stopped that real quick though.

[duffrageous]

It headed down due to the release of bitcoin gold on bittrex causing a craze to cash in on the volatility across other exchanges as well that already had bitcoin gold. People bought bitcoin gold for as low as $10 on bittrex and some sold at the peak of $600. There was a Dash pump and bitcoinAnd in the ensuing panic, a lot of people cashed out as well. Also, Tether has no legal responsibility to ensure you can exchange your USDT for USD or other fiat if you read their TOS.

Events from yesterday:

1)BTG is released about 2pm/5pm et on bittrex, and people who have checked their wallets notice BTG has now been added in the amount of bitcoin you held on October 25, even if only fractions. The trade is now available on bittrex along with the wallet.
https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-btg

2)With the volatility of BTG, Asian traders now decide to pump up Dash along with a mini pump of BCC(tiny in comparison to Dash).

https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-DASH
https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-BCC

3)The ensuing pumps and chaos are followed by a dip in BTC prices and a rush to cash out BTC or exchange for alts.

https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=USDT-BTC

4)BTG makes one final push for 500, people decide BTG price is overvalued considering most of the exchanges don't yet have the ability to withdraw through wallets, and BTC price is low enough for people to buy back in around 7800.

[duffrageous]

I've been taking a few days off the crypto trading(holding BTC) to get caught up on orders, but man, it's hard to just watch the markets moving like crazy.

I was thinking the final dip looking at the charts might have had to do with the news breaking about tether. But why would the price of tether go down if tether was vulnerable? Wouldn't people just be holding BTC? Why trade into something that has less upside than BTC unless BTC is crashing hard? People are associating tether with USD, but it shouldn't be that way. It's just a crypto unless it has the same insurances as a bank, which it doesn't if you read their TOS.

DASH is rising again as well as POWR. I had a chance to buy POWR at 6500 during the panic Monday night, but I can't ride alt pumps when I got work to do. But does anyone have a system for riding pumps? Wait for 5%/10%/15% gains? How much does momentum play a part in pumps and when does it dump?

Treat us to a sample of what you have to offer...

Prices seem to revolve around conjecture and media - so I tend to keep my eyes on those elements when buying/selling BTC.

Yes saw that yesterday.

Is NASDAQ bigger than CME? I would think so as I've heard that name a lot across the pond.

If so, I think it would give Bitcoin a huge push next year.

What would PayPal do without them?

[aspkin]

I very much doubt eBay would consider that until transactions fees are much lower. Bitcoin is too expensive right now as a currency. In the future sure, I can see it.

And god damnit all other coins are exploding.
