We like to think how awful it is to be that guy to have spent millions on a pizza, but I'm guessing he was quite the early adopter and made out like a bandit.

He didn't but he doesn't care

GDAX news seems real
https://blog.gdax.com/preparing-for-...k-86844d7012d0

From reading news announcements from various exchanges in the past few months it is quite possible that bitcoin trading will be suspended on many exchanges around aug 1 or a little sooner or a little later for a few days. This would be to adjust to two coins.

Nobody knows what it means. If Segwit2x works out and there's no split, BTC could go up really fast as a ton of uncertainty could be removed from the situation.

If UASF causes a chain split...pretty much anything is in play from a huge crash on all forks to a huge boom on one of the forks.

For a moment I though we were below 1k with your post, but seems to be only around $2.2 - $2.3k. I would barely call that "crashing". Zoom out to the 1W graphs to get some perspective. Theoretically anything above $1.2k would be still a bull market (bottom line longer term bull trend.)

On the "why?".. no market goes up forever without any correction.

edit: realistically it's just people cashing out after all the idiot money that came into crypto (especially ETH) last few months. Not surprising at all that coins like ETH are more down than BTC.

Maybe.

I just don't see the incentive for miners to back UASF. The status quo got Bitcoin to $3k. If Jihan kills NYA with mysterious new China mining pools or whatever excuses he conjures up, it still seems far-fetched to believe that other pools will mine the 148 chain. The status quo is too juicy for them to risk Jihan forking off, thereby plummeting $BTC for a long time, even if he is bluffing.

Every market's gotta bleed (to force out the people with low pain tolerance ) before it can go on the next rally.

I have less than half a bitcoin on coinbase. Should I send it to my blockchain wallet before **** hits the fan on the 1st? I was hoping to have my ledger wallet by now but still waiting. Never sent bit coin. If I send it to myself and its value is more than I bought it for a couple months ago is that a taxable event? Thinking bout buying more today with the drop.

So like a Ledger Nano S is fine?
