Bitcoin, and the entire crypto-space, is dumping very hard today after confirmation that China does intend to shut-down exchanges to halt ICOs, not simply specific coins.
There remains a substantial arbitrage at Chinese exchanges, as Chinese nationals continue to panic-dump:
Apparently, the only safe-haven over night was Ark:
Perhaps Jamie Dimon had foreknowledge of this event, and decided to open his fat trap to attempt to appear prescient? Expect to hear him and many more idiots proclaim that losing 4 weeks of price appreciation is somehow the end of the cryptocurrency market.
I would not recommend selling into this panic. You've already missed the "boat" on that one. Hold and do not look at prices for a little while; you'll drive yourself nuts.

I agree with your suggestion about never selling , you can consider China closures that's cause that impact as a wave and it will be settle down shortly .

Agreed. If anything, this is an opportunity to set some more limit buy orders.
Both for Bitcoin, and also for Steem, which has touched 97 cents again.

I converted my Steem Dollars to Steem this morning when it hit 97 cents. Ride it back up and then switch to back to Steem Dollars.

Seems like a good buy. I bought some too. I hadn't considered trading internally that way, back and forth. I generally just power-up whatever I get. I will happily go down with the ship.

I mostly power up. But in a downturn you can make some value with Steem Dollars.

I find so laughable that Jamie Dick wad has the audacity to call anything a fraud, weren't they involved in the Bernie made off scandal and the infamous London whale deal? I think I am going to buy some more steam now but give this market a little more time to settle down before I buy any other coins.

" made off"
Heh, Freudian slip or joke?
Steem has not dumped like everything else. I think they's because it's near a huge technical low / support area at $1. It's the only thing I see as a buy right now, and I actually tripped a buy order for another 2900 last night. Think I'll hang onto it for a bit.

I was thinking of switching to using a voice program. I haven't yet because I type uber fast, like at least 120wpm.
How do you like it? What would you say it's effective speed is for taking dictation - normal speaking speed, do you have to speak slower (like my phone sometimes)?

Gotta say this program is not that that bad,I was able to spit out a whole paragraph in no time.It waits for you to stop talking before it prints the words but remembers them all, then users have to go back and fix the words that didn't come out right. I purchased it because my spelling is as bad as my typing skills. I am just now starting to use the browser capabilities to surf the net and use it to open and close different programs. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious 120wpm dam'n!

Hm. Maybe I should give it a try. Perhaps there is a free trial.
I feel like going back and having to edit the mistakes might slow me down enough to make it neutral, time-wise.
"120wpm"
I used to work a data entry job briefly, and I've lived most of my life on the computer. 120wpm might be an underestimate at this point.

Who's selling idiots .....if you dont know who the scmuck in the room is .......I will be buying some OMG and NEO very soon as they are going to be bargains. THey have a lot of support and should make it out of this.

Ironically, OMG never hit my limit-buy order. It must be holding up fairly well.
Neo I am more concerned about. All the recent news has been pretty bad for Neo. I think it's going to take some time for it to recover.

NEO might be weak for a long time, in fact, it's very fundamental potential may be lessened if China choose to maintain this hard line.

CEO of JP Morgan is probably buying Bitcoins big time, although he sad that it is a fraud. He is too smart to have such a stupid statements. Hold your Bitcoins, or buy more if you have guts. Nice post Lex. See you at the poker tables :).

Man @lexiconical I logged on and looked at my portfolio and seen it was down bad and I just logged off. Didn't even want to see it at that point and I'm definitely not going to rush into a decision. If anything now is the perfect time to buy more as it's cheap to get loads of it.

Agreed. I strongly recommend not price-watching, particularly on bad days, but also on good days.
If you don't train your brain to "believe" you're making money when the price goes up, it's a lot easier for it to accept that you aren't losing money when the price goes down.
Nothing is gained or lost until you book a sale or close your short/order. It's still relatively rare for cryptos to just fail. If you don't like the price you are getting, set a limit sell order at a price you do and ignore the heck out of that market.
That summarizes my current relationship with Siacoin, for example.

This is also a good opportunity to diversify into a few-alt coins, as prices are down. Steem, and perhaps even Neo, could look very attractive here soon.

This isn't the first time China has done this and I doubt it will be the last. I can't help but think this is intentional on the part of some of their elites, as seems to be well highlighted by the Ark coin. It could also be a way to control internal power struggles. By only informing some of their elites who are more 'loyal' to the cause.

It seems rather dumb that they would want to close themselves off to this burgeoning crypto industry, especially in the face of having big market shares in things like Bitcoin mining.
Perhaps they will reconsider, or perhaps Bitshares will be the new Chinese favorite!
