I just opened my CoinEx account to sell my BCHA and noticed that I have tiny amounts of Tether, Coindy, Gas and Zcash. I have never bought any of those. Does anyone know what this is about?
I guess the title will quickly be outdated, so here is a table of "hours above" versus price

We see no more Binance mined blocks since the fork.. some said it was because Binance was still waiting for things to calm down.. but now we have BCH fully working again on Binance but still 'zero' blocks.
Binance used to provide about 40% of our hash rate. What would be the network impact if them never come back ?
EDIT: Binance also stopped mining BSV

Hey guys I am wondering if anyone can shed some light on this issue or have an answer. Tradingviews volume data is not matching up at all with Binance. I have attached an image which further details the issue. In the image I use the example of RSR/BTC but this issue is happening for all coins. The volume data is totally off. Can anyone explain?

My father in law is a decamillionaire. Iv been telling him bitcoin for years. But, today, I finally sold him!! He's taking a few more coins out if the market. He'll probably end up telling his friends at the golf club. And maybe a few of them will join the team as well..\_(",)_/
Your welcome!
Its time to get back on the 4th spot.
Bitcoin Cash is now cleanse and pure from viruses 🚀
On bitcoincash.org there is only listed BCHD and BitcoinABC as the node implementations, but according to CoinDance there are at least two other nodes there is worth mentioning. Can bitcoincash.org not be trusted as an resource?
I use Coinbase Pro but I know binance clicks way more transactions. Is it better? What is the consensus among experienced crypto investors? TIA
The last few blocks on the ABC chain each have 1 transaction per block?
What's going on , am I missing something here??
I want to sell my BCHA on Binance, what's the best way to accomplish this?
If I just send bch to finance from my Badger wallet, should it send both coins?
I need some of that right now.
I have, well I had a wallet with 100% pre-fork coins. Positive about it. I sent 1$ to coinex and the BCHA didn't show up. Great, guess I'll have to do it the hard way, even though there's no reason why the BCHA shouldn't have shown up too.
Import keys to Electron Cash. I have the latest version for mac capitan. Follow the instructions mostly here - https://www.reddit.com/r/CoinBase/comments/ju8t9x/bch_fork/
I don't see the branches, but whatever, probably some computer science guy who just assumes people know what those are and where they are. Whatever, I saw a youtube video of a guy and he picked the bch.imaginary.cash server and the tax coin servers for BCH and BCHA respectively. Send the BCH no problem. then try the tax coin server and just the electrum.bitcoinabc.org server (whatever that means). It says can't connect to server.
So yea I have no idea what's happening and the instructions aren't working but my coins might still be split, but I don't really know what's going on.
$1 for the first time.... parity with the dollar ... Just for a longer term perspective! Here’s to the next 18000x
Seriously guys, those days are looooong gone. We’ll be lucky for it to go even $15k right now! Stop looking at the price and start stacking. Stack as much as you can afford to lose and HODL! If you believe bitcoin will be worth a million who cares whether you bought at $3k or $18k?! Believe, stack, hodl, don’t panic sell.
May the hodl be with you.
Sorry for the rant, I keep seeing “I’m just waiting for the price to be...x” you’ll keep waiting and you’ll end up a no-coiner.
Just try running Electron Cash with --taxcoin argument.
Which podcast did Amaury saying "'Ard Moneh" [sic] come from?
That he bought Segwitcoins, not Bitcoins.
It’s an easy trap to fall into because the price comparison is similar. However, 2020 and 2016 were halvening years. Both had slow price buildups and headed into the end of the year approaching previous ATHs. The media and general public largely ignored Bitcoin. I think 2017 should be compared to 2021 rather than 2020. Past performance is not indicative of future performance, but Bitcoin is following a very similar path to the last halvening cycle.
I moved away from coinmarketcap due to reasons you may also have but that's not the purpose of this post.
I haven't seen a premium on a coin since the 2017 bullrun. There is no premium for ETH or BTC using the same comparison so it seems like a datapoint worth sharing!
And that's even after the recent explosion of ViaBTC blocks.
I'm starting to know what it's like to use BTC.
I am currently selling a mint condition five-dollar us bill from 1974 that I got. In today's money that $5 is worth $26 but the buying power is only $0.85. This is my second time selling on local.bitcoin.com, first time I didn't get any offers but maybe cause it was my price. I am selling it for $25 in BCH https://local.bitcoin.com/offer/6QYsnUFpeX99F3SwSeM7lX/Goods/For_Sale/Others/Ishsingh/5%20Dollar%20Bill%20For%201974
Other than that Local.bitcoin.com was really easy to use and it was fast!
If you wanna make an offer you can make it here too
My brother in-law had FOMO and wanted to buy Bitcoin. I explained that he needed a cold storage and he should wait to do much of anything unless I was there to help set things up correctly. I was hoping to guide him through the process of getting on an exchange, setting up his wallet safely, and basically give him the low-down on how to be involved in crypto. He chose to go solo.
Fast forward, he screwed something up, called "exchange he was using" who remoted into his phone, and basically stole his money. He calls me after the fact asking if I knew what was going on. He knows now that it wasn't the exchange and that he was basically robbed by scammers.
TLDR: New people, don't be stupid. Bitcoin isn't going to a million dollars in a day. Don't let FOMO make you do stupid things.
Also: Fuck you scammers.
I have had 3 deeply spiritual experiences in my life. The immediate moment after smoking DMT, meeting my fiancé, and the HODL epiphany. All in that order, across a 2 year period — almost exactly 12 months in between.
DMT: I first learned of DMT in 2007, when I was 21. Everything I heard about it scared the living daylights out of me. Ocassionally I would read up, hear stories of those who had trekked deep into the Amazon to sample ayahuasca, and watch the odd Joe Rogan clip. But it was too much for me.
Then one day my life turned to chaos. In the space of a month, my girlfriend jumped ship, my company spectacularly crashed, debt spiked, before crippling sciatica and insomnia set in. I wanted to die. Not suicide, but die with dignity and bow out with some honour — cancer maybe.
In that darkest week, the strangest thing happened. 3 people out of nowhere started spouting off about DMT. My barber, a random dude at a bar, and an old friend I ran into at a crypto conference (I wasn’t a crypto believer at the time, just curious).
At the end of the week I tell my close friend of the weird coincidences around DMT I was experiencing, and that “maybe I should try it”. The following day he calls me up and says “you’re not going to believe this, I have DMT in my hand right now, a friend gave it to me… for free, thats the DMT code”.
Well if there ever was a sign to try, this was it.
That weekend we ventured out of town with a glass bulb in hand. One drag in… a female voice said to me “welcome, you’re in good hands, it’s ok”, second drag in… the room starts to break apart, and third drag… well, who knows, I was in a different dimension.
The next day I woke up and saw the world with a fresh set of eyes. I’ve never looked back.
Fiancé: Until I met my fiancé, I was anti-marriage, anti-engagement. I thought I knew what love is, but marriage wasn’t for me. A social construct I just couldn’t buy into. Then one day I walk through a door, talk to a girl on a brown couch who is reading the same rare book as me, and we hit it off.
6 months later to the day, I propose to her, without hesitation, without doubt, fully convinced she is my soulmate.
The HODL Moment: I didn’t really know what this was until yesterday when I came across Michael Saylor, who was sharing a similar insight to the profound experience I had.
Once you’ve had this epiphany, you don’t want to sell Bitcoin. In fact you’re like “how the F do I redeploy more wealth across to Bitcoin … FAST”. And then you ask the question … “who in their right mind would trade this stuff, eventually others are going to have the same experience, and the price will sky rocket… with the chance to own wholly undiluted Bitcoins — GONE”.
What led to the epiphany…? What caused the moment you may ask?
It didn’t happen overnight. I almost bought 5 BTC in 2014 as a small punt after some weird teenage blockchain developer was going on about it at a co-working space. He was crazy, but I love crazy, so I listened. The friction purchasing it at the time was too much of a distraction and I kept forgetting to buy as I pushed forward in my career as a tech startup bro.
Then comes 2020. What the heck…
Nothing in this system makes sense. The manual has been thrown out… It’s like well established economic models and political theories have been uninvented. This system is about to break, and break badly.
Then one day amidst the chaos as a joke I say outloud “well only Bitcoin can save us now”. At that moment, I had the epiphany. BITCOIN! It’s f*****g Bitcoin. The world has been trying to tell me for the last 6 years it’s Bitcoin and I finally get it.
HODL, I’ve come to learn, is a belief system equal to knowing you are one with the universe. Until you’ve had this experience, you probably don’t know what Bitcoin really is, or could/will do. It’s going to upend the world. It’s a virus where the only cure is becoming one with it.
The Bitcoin and re-emergence of pyschedelics in the west, are part of the same agenda.
HODL for life.

Bitcoin just passed the $18K price barrier reaching a 3-year price high. As the world drowns in global economic uncertainties, crashing stocks, raging pandemic, bitcoin is one of the only assets that has stayed afloat, yet for some reason has managed to stay away from mainstream news.
Bitcoin made headlines a while back when PayPal announced its support driving mainstream investors into the currency. Some argue that this may be one of the propellors for the current bull run.
There is another set of voices that mentions that the current price movement could simply be FOMO. As the bitcoin price climbs investors put in their money into bitcoin as they fear they might miss out on the bull run further driving the price up.
Citibank analyst just a few days ago came up with a price prediction of $300K+ by Dec 2021 further driving interest into the coin.
Unlike the last bull run of 2017, mainstream media has largely stayed away from this topic as they steer their focus on US elections and the pandemic.
Whatever the reason for this recent bull run, it is always great to see bitcoin climb up and see more people get into it.
As a bitcoin user, always buy/sell bitcoin from reliable exchanges, and remember you are only one responsible for its safety so do make sure to keep it safe.
Some quick tools to keep in handy as a bitcoin user:
Block Explorer:
Transaction fees estimator:
If your transaction is stuck you can either wait or use a transaction accelerator like:
Only had 2 oz and lost $500 this year on it. Felt like a waste and didn’t see any upside. Bought more btc. Feels good. Now to sell my silver.
Edit: just got my first gold reward on Reddit. Feels good man.jpeg
I started my crypto journey in january 2018 with buying bitcoin, xrp and eth at high levels. I remember the first XRP i bought at 1.6$ thinking it would make me a millionaire buying the dip in a parabolic rise. At the time the community was so driven, greedy and there were so many moonboys shilling every single coin they could find. I went full retard when the fomo was at it's absolutte peak in january 2018.
The first two years I continued to accumulate bitcoin and other crypto projects I believed in. The despair peaked when i was down somewhere between 80-90%. At times I was anxious bitcoin would blow up and never be appreciated again. I was afraid of a death spiral if miners would capitulate and drag the entire network down with it. I was afraid of tether imploding. I feared the energy consumption of the network would cause legal actions from politicians.
Despite being in doubt, I continued to educate myself about bitcoin's potential. I had plenty of time to sell with a loss and transfer my money back to my account - at times I wonder if i should just do it and get over with it. Yet, I didn't only stay - i kept investing despite loosing more money. By the time i got more patience and aware of price movements. Market is tough to time, but I bought at a bigger retracement rather than at fomo times. Last time I bought some bitcoin was when it hit 5k in spring. Being in the red for two straight years is tough for everybody, yet i never lost hope that bitcoin someday would rise again.
What's the catch? I know that many people are fomoing in to buy crypto and there are many moonboys predicting bitcoin to go to 100k, 200k or more. We don't know when bitcoin will top. This parabolic rise can continue for much longer. You are not a millionaire tomorrow, because you just found the holy grail.
Tip: If you are new and decide to buy, because you fear of missing out: please be aware that nobody knows what would happen and your investment could easily plummet 40% within the next couple of months. Please be aware that crypto is volatile and you don't want to be at the wrong side of the market when it tanks if you cannot tolerate a loss - if it tanks: don't be in a high risk alt coin if you fear volatility.
Tip 2: You need to have patience, confidence and have good nerves, otherwise you would likely sell when bitcoin retraces and makes a dip - most people loss money investing. Many people panic sell to avoid more losses. Think of how many people sold bitcoin at 4,5 and 6k in the spring, thinking bitcoin would die because of pandemic fear (look at the massive trading volume at tradingview). This is when I accumulated more bitcoin.
Tip 3: You have to believe in bitcoin. Why is a great investment? It is hard money that cannot be printed. It cannot be sanctioned in the entire world unless you shut down the internet. It is the first global peer to peer system, and the network has never been more secure than it is. If you truely believe bitcoin can change the world then stop being affraid of loosing money in the short term - keep hodling your investment.
After two years. I am finally at 50+% profit despite being 80-90% down.
Lastly: I wanna thank the community for keeping me in the space.
There’s a book from the early nineties, called Crossing the Chasm, written by Geoffrey Moore. Essentially it’s a book that talks about high tech products and a “chasm” between early adopters and the majority. Often high tech products die in the chasm, because the majority never adopt them. If they manage to cross the chasm they often succeed, in a big way.
Welcome to the other side of the chasm folks.
Hey guys. Longtime lurker now turned investor! Just threw 20k into Bitcoin! Cant wait to see this thing rocket up! HODL! Thanks for the advice and insight!
Hey guys, yesterday I tried out cashfusion for the first time on the electron cash wallet. I see that the coins are being fused and new transactions are being relayed. I am wondering if this process comes to a halt at some point or of it just goes on and on because I am fusing 10 BCH and it has been going on and on since yesterday. How do I know when the coins have been sufficiently fused. I'm using all the default settings on the wallet.
Hello everyone, I´m wondering if there is any interest from the community in funding Startups via SLP Tokens?
Developers could get funding, feedback, testing, and marketing; while people buying the tokens could benefit from an increase in the value of the tokens and dividends. To make it clear, I´m talking about non-crypto related projects, software as a service platforms as an example.
Is there are any interest in this? What will be the best way to do it?
edit: positive feedback on the comments, yet being downvoted? Tabs Team at work!
Not meant to be sob story just needed to vent a little. I'm posting this so I guess I'm asking for it (neg comments) but be warned no one can make me feel lower at this moment. I am happy for all who were able to hodl through though! There is a little comfort knowing you were right about this.
Long story short: I bought btc on that massive pump in 2017. End of 2018 I had 2 choices become homeless or sell the only thing I owned and keep a roof over my head.
I had always said I'd never sell my btc. "I'd go homeless first!" Ha! When homelessness became an actual possibility ... you find out where your priorities actually are. It was just as btc was capitulating down to 3-4 k region (timing ... I know).
I held out as long as I could. I maxed out credit cards. I liquidated the small 401k I had. I submitted hundreds of resumes. I ate flour & water pancakes for months. It was inevitable, I had to sell my btc; right around 4k if memory serves.
My job is not steady and dependent upon tips. Couldn't come up with $$$ to get back into btc especially during these lockdowns. I was trying but btc decided to run up without me.
Congrats to all you hodlers that didn't have to sell like me. I mean that! I'm glad that some of us "little guys" are going to get ahead in this world!
Thanks for letting me vent a little.
Exchanges, wallets, payment processors, ... you name them.
I keep seeing lots of posts about people worried that the price is going up so much that they'll never get a chance to own a full coin.
We need to take a step back and look at the psychology of this and why people are coming up with this thought.
First of all the word "Bitcoin" contains the word "coin" in it. What we typically refer to as coins these days makes us think that they should be cheap and you should be able to obtain them very easily. The reason this is even like this is because the USD (I'm in the US so using our money as example) has constantly been inflating forever making 1 dollar the standard choice of use. 40 years ago coins could still buy you something so they didn't always come with a cheap connotation to them.
Secondly once you get past the name you need to come to the realization that 1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 sats. At the point of mass adoption the general public will be lucky to even have 1,000 sats given that people can't even come up with $400 emergency money. Right now $1 USD buys you 5,591 sats. 20 years from now when you tell someone that you had the chance to get that many sats for a dollar they will be SOOOOOOOO jealous. Meanwhile now you're stressing you don't have 100,000,000.
Stressing at that is the same as someone getting upset that they don't have 1 billion dollars now. Wouldn't you be more than fine with 20 million now? Hell, you could live a great life with 2 million alone. If the answer is yes then 20,000,000 sats (0.2 bitcoin = $3,569) should make you filthy rich in the future.
Last, but not least you have to understand that 1 Bitcoin is literally just a label (an amount, a unit of measure) and not what's transacting through the network. For example in comparison we have pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, etc.. I can give you 5 pennies or give you 1 nickel. On the bitcoin network the only thing that's transacting are sats. Sending a bitcoin is sending many sats. It's ONLY sats. 1 Bitcoin is merely just a label, not an actual "coin" per se.
Today I broke even!
Fuck you ex wife. I told you this would pay off.
Wheeeeee
Hey guys, the ABC IFP fork has failed, but there are no hard feelings here. We need your support to make BCH great again!

Now the bitcoin I have left is all profit I can comfortably hodl to infinity. Oh and I bought a nice bike with the money I took out, which I’m going to use to make more money. I think I finally made good investments all around
In early January 2020 a handful of people in USA started sounding the alarms of coronavirus. Most of them were met with ridicule by mainstream media, healthcare experts, world leaders.
I wonder if we are in that phase of the bull run right now. I sense some growing skepticism and I have a feeling this time the skeptics may be wrong about corrections or pull backs. The timing feels appropriate since Microstrategy's first announcement. It takes months for institutions to get ready with funds, approvals, exchanges and start buying. A few have made announcements since, notably: Paypal, Fidelity, Square. Grayscale keeps scooping up bitcoin like nobody's business.
Do you believe that more institutions are just getting started right now or not?
Do you believe no more institutions are waiting in line to execute their orders (and make announcements) or not?
Do you believe some key high-net-worth individuals (> 10MM USD) are getting in touch with some of the bitcoin luminaries and figuring out process or not?
Depending on how you arrive at these answers, we are either starting a major bull run or we are already running too hot and there will be a cool off soon.
Thought experiment: Lets say you are a HODLER for 2+ years and a high-net-worth individual comes to you and claims they'd like to put atleast 100K into bitcoin soonish so that they can secure their spot. Would you recommend they buy now or wait?
A merchant I shop with uses Bitpay to receive crypto payments. I've already had plenty of problems with BIP70 payments, my wallet wasn't supported, the payment didn't go through, their API server was down, etc. But now Bitpay is redirecting me to "Onfido" who is demanding my personal information. There is no way in hell I'm, uploading scans of my passport to some shady fly-by-night 3rd party site!
I'm out.
Hey everyone, Leading up to and since the Nov 15th fork, I've been getting my BCH ready for the split.
The intent was to sell off most if not all of my ABC coinage... While I have been relatively unsuccessful thus far, I instead have insight into how dead the ABC side of the fork is.
First off - splitting was a breeze.
In fact, there are so many nodes on the BCHN side of the fork and so few on the BCHABC side that it's almost a guarantee that your transaction won't properly broadcast to the ABC side of the fork.
Initially, I was looking at the chained transaction limit and thinking I'd need to push more than 500 transactions within the same ABC block for the coins to hit the transaction cap and split.
I was dumbfounded to find that a double move within the same block did the trick. Technically speaking - that shouldn't have worked.
Next, I booted up my ABC client to synch and see what happened...
Well it turns out that the first transaction didn't even broadcast because it didn't connect to ANY ABC 0.22.6 node. I thought "ok, cool... BCHN is doing a great job of filtering out ABC nodes... this will be easier than I thought."
So the time came to synch the client. I get to around the "304 blocks to go" mark and it just stops.
I take a look at the console and realize that ABC has only connected to peers with a block height of ~661960 - the wrong side of the fork. In addition, ABC failed to find a single ABC 0.22.6 node to properly update.
I spent the next hour disconnecting from every Unlimited 1.9.0.1 client and every client with a BCHN block height (which surprisingly includes a metric ton of updated ABC nodes as well.
After doing that, I realized that my client started with the wrong headers (which is why it says it's over 300 blocks behind)
I then realized I probably needed to scrap the headers it found and restart synching from scratch.
I booted all non-ABC clients and all clients with the wrong block height and am attempting to get a proper ABC block header synch.
Because there are so few valid clients, it will likely take days now.
On top of that, when I finally get to the point that I can transact - blocks coming every 3-4 hours means confirmation times for one of the few exchanges that actually support ABC will be astronomical.
This feels, at best, barely worth the $15/coin bounty I'm currently after.
TL;DR - In BCH, the phrase "Easy as ABC" means "ridiculously cumbersome and nearly impossible."
My heart is definitely in crypto and didn’t plan on ever selling but due to unforeseen expenses and unemployment messing up my claim because of COVID along with CA never set to reopen my job. I sadly had to sell off years of DCA. I knew this run would happen eventually and as much as I love to see it happen it’s a little bitter sweet.
Just wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar experience or if they bought back in close to what they sold out, that ship has sailed for me right now. Just patiently waiting to start my DCA process all over again and build back up!
Every half year hardfork upgrade give BCH a chance to spilt so easily. We should change to every two or three years. I don't want to see BCH to hardfork too often. Our commiunity need to work hard to make BCH move forward, in particularly drive the price up.
Currently I am concerned that the more this is adopted by the banks and governments, the harder it will be to fly under the radar and use bitcoin. I feel like when the day comes that we can spend these cryptos anywhere, the payment processors will not accept payments from "unknown" wallets. Am I worrying for no reason? Fungibility is not a strong point of BCH or BTC. And privacy coins like Monero may very well get outlawed so that your local convenience store would get fucked for accepting it.
Bitcoin Cash is the Sewer Rat that Andreas refers to. This project has faced constant adversity, but just keeps marching towards making the best peer-to-peer electronic (programmable) cash for the world. Multiple forks, multiple bad actors getting kicked out and constant FUD and ridicule from other communities trying to knock it down. At this rate it has truly proven to be un-killable, no matter what the outside environment throws its way.
Maximalists want to talk about decentralization with more nodes, but time after time Bitcoin Cash has proven to truly be decentralized as a project as no single entity has been able to gain control for their own self interests. Maximalists want to talk about how many times Bitcoin has “died”, well how about how many times they’ve tried to deem Bitcoin Cash “dead”? Still here, still top 10 and still working on building peer-to-peer electronic (programmable) cash for the world.
I’m proud to be part of this community and so should everyone here. I’ve never felt so bullish and excited about Bitcoin Cash’s future. Yesterday was another test, and now it feels like it’s finally free and ready to prove the world wrong.
