Seems that the ones generating Bitcoin are trying to buy up all the mid to high end graphics cards they can get. Some are selling way above their official list prices and Nvidea are trying to impose limits on sales.

I would like to buy a 1070 but at the moment I don't think it's a good deal.

It's ETH and alts pushing the prices on that, nothing to do with Bitcoin, GPU mining BTC died years ago.

I haven't done any mining personally, so my knowledge is a bit limited on that side. Either way prices for graphics cards are often a third more than list.

Seems facebook is finally banning criptocurrency adverts. About time too with all the scams it has collected. Hopefully others will follow.

Agreed on the adverts, there are a lot of people shilling some very scammy sh*tcoins and they're not afraid to try anything in order to sell sell sell :-\

I think like 99% of ICO's are complete scams! Buy our SamCoins, which will be worthless in 10 minutes. The whole cryptocurrency is undermined by these joke altcoins.

60% scams or get rich quick schemes for insiders.
35% putting stuff "on the blockchain" for the sake of it*

5% actual legit good ideas, a couple of percent of which have the teams to make it long term.

LLoyds and Virgin have banned bitcoin purchases on credit cards. Japanese regulators have raided the offices of Coincheck, who recently lost £375 million of cryptocurrencies to hackers.

FUD season and the bear market has started  :w00t:

I shared this with a friend yesterday.....



Up to $7.7k to break back into that channel, which of course is going up all the time.

The next trend line down from the downward arrow is $2.6k~, also rising daily, but less so.

I see this as the "return to mean".

Monetary Authority of Singapore have also quietly told banks to ban deposits to major exchanges (25th Jan). For some reason its not in the news anywhere.

Im genuinely unsure if I should buy the dip or not, but I'll be waiting a bit longer before I decide.

Keeps testing the underside of that upward channel. If it keeps failing, then more down. If we break into it and up watch $8200 and $10,0000

Resistance around $8200 broke.

EDIT: and back below, sticking point for now.
