just another wacky day for speculators. the no ETF decision was not surprising. also, it makes little sense to centralize bitcoin it in an ETF. we are not ready for bankers or the general public, yet.

Was stunned here. Thought it was a lock for approval going into today's announcement because I expected the twins to withdraw rather than let it outright get rejected.

Wish I had some bids set up to catch some of the initial dump.

My shock is how eth is green on the day. I figured it would gain on BTC if etf denied, never would have guessed it would have gained in USD

Lol if btc recovers relatively quickly (week or 2) busting into new highs sending shorts running for the hills. I mean hell, if the most speculated thing in btc got shot down and couldn't phase it, wtf can.

the bears sold in 2015-16. imo, this was just bulls trying to accumulate more coins.

I guess it only makes sense it didn't drop more. I myself had more fiat online waiting to buy a dip then I've ever had. I noticed the bid side of the books get massive with orders of fiat lined up at dip prices because you know the dips don't last long and if your going to profit off a panic sell its gotta be on and ready.

So essentially I'm guessing there was more fiat that had been deposited recently then ever before, well maybe not ever, but you get the point.

Also goes to show how much money is still looking to buy a dip. THE BULL MARKET MOVES ON!

Bitcoin will Continue to grow. But it would have been cool to see what would have happened had the ETF been approved today.

It's pretty much in the green for the last 24h now, even with the failed ETF. Honey Badger is back! =)

Still don't get what's going on with DASH and still hesitant to get in on it. Convince me otherwise.

When diversifying my cryptos I felt the need for btc, eth, and an anon coin like dash or xmr just because I think there is a use for them. I picked up a very small %, like 1-2% of my portfolio in dash and xmr. Dash has blown it away. The bonus is you can lend it out for massive rates.. for a couple days I was getting 2% a day . Right now it's about .2%/day.

Anyhow, I don't exactly know what's going on with it. Had a super small market cap so doesn't take much to move it. There's a decent chance someone has a **** ton of dirty btc they are trying to launder through it. You know the biggest problem when someone steals like 150k btc in finex hack is cashing them out. Wouldn't shipping some btc to an exhange trading for dash, then sending that dash to other account then selling that dash on various exchanges be like the perfect way to cash out?

I'm not saying this is the reason for the run, but it may be. I had also read somewhere that the Chinese were turning to it more just because of all the government crack downs. All hear say, but the price action is def doing some speaking.

On Polo?

Yes

First, there's no thing as a lightning hub. There are only LN nodes made of users. It's P2P. You *may* be able to make small amounts, but if large profits do appear, then it will be trivially easy for anyone to add their own nodes to do the same driving profits down. It's open source.

DASH is pure marketing hype with false claims and a typical pump and dump. With big whales like Roger Ver pumping it now, it's clearly near the end of the pump cycle.

I listened to the cryptoscam podcast the other week, but everything from tone vays needs to be taken with a few grains of salt.

Tom C., Why you do you always seem so negative?

**** I love the fact that it seems all my useless hours of browsing the internet are paying off. ETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had an unfortunate situation trying to buy some ether like ~40 hours ago. I believe my situation is explained at 4) of this page https://blog.ethereum.org/2014/07/23...oubleshooting/

If anyone thinks he can help and is reputable please pm, im obv willing to pay if u can help me .

That post is for people who bought ether at the crowdsale. I think it is better if you explain where you bought ether, which wallet you sent them to, how you sent them from the account where you bought them to the wallet.

Ah ok , i tried to buy using the "Fund with Bitcoin" choice from ethereum wallet. I did sent to the address but never received , possibly because i closed the tab that was completing the transaction too early. I sent using Electrum. I have the transaction ID and the address i sent on my electrum wallet but ethereum wallet has 0 transaction history.
Any help is welcome also if anyone knows for sure that my btc are gone plz tell me so i stop wasting time on it.

bitcoin dominance index taking a hit today. looks like a downtrend to me.

What is the bullish argument for btc post SEC decision? Seems all I hear now is drama with devs, potential hard forking, and transaction times/costs being an issue.

It's truly amazing BTC can hold the price it is with so much uncertainty. Just goes to show how strong this crypto bull market is. Not a bubble, if you put all cryptos together they are still worth less then snap chat. That shows you where the real bubbles are.

The bull case for BTC is it's shown the test of time and has the best liquidity. Other then that, not much going for it. I'm still bullish on it, but am definitely overweighted in ETH. If ETH ****s up and fails, then BTC shall rise once again.

My guess is there were a lot of people waiting for the ETF rejection to buy into Bitcoin. However, the dip wasn't as bad as expected, and newbies are panic FOMO'ing into the rally of BTC and alts. Although alts could just be a manipulated pump and dump. Who knows.

Obviously this is all pure conjecture.

Anyway, none of it matters if BU shows a hint of getting activated. I'll follow the core devs who have kept afloat the Bitcoin network to a $20bln market cap before I trust my money with a closed group of amateur developers under the control of Jihan Wu and the CPC.

This ethereum wallet?

It doesn't matter if you close the tab once the transaction has been initiated. What is the transaction id? You should be able to see it on www.blockchain.info

It should be sent to a shapeshift wallet, as it's shapeshift that does the trading for you. They would be the best people to contact about your issue. PM me if you want assistance.

I agree, all the deposited fiat that was looking to buy the dip has now bought in. I had a bunch of fiat in and it's tough to sit on it! We still move higher, just saying that was probably the massive push.
