There has been great demand from those regions to be sure. However, as noted above, China recently halted all ICO's (a major driver of new money in the crypto space), and today there were whispers of going a step further by considering closing all Chinese cryptocurrency exchanges. If this happens, one of the world's biggest markets will have a much harder time accessing crypto assets, specifically purchasing them with or converting them back into fiat. Regulatory issues are quickly coming front and center, and as a result I think the upward momentum we have witnessed over the past year will face some headwinds as we settle out the year. Could be wrong, of course, but those are my thoughts.

Geo, those are things to consider for sure. I believe the chinese actions were in part to blame for btc's recent slide. The fact it hit 5k figures into the reason too because it began to drop immediately after hitting that. China just greased the skids.
China has made noises about stopping btc before. They have announced crackdowns and then later it seems nothing was done but it affected the market. Maybe some savvy chinese investors want to scoop up cheap coin and saw this as a way to do it. Then when their baskets are full they may announce an easing of the restrictions. Or people realize nothing happened and its business as usual.
Russia too has cracked down in the past but now they don't seem to mind at all. Govt sees it as a way for the common person to avoid being totally controlled by govt, and govt if it wants anything at all it wants total control.
Many parts of asia are opening to btc, japan, vietnam, s korea. Also europe and not just the hotbed of uk but other countries too are adopting it. South america is catching on, if your national fiat loses 50% or more of its value per year, you will want to turn it into something that has been going up. The venezuelan bolivar, the nigerian naira, just to name a few. Even solid mexico sees a slide in the value of the peso every single year without fail. The usa dollar is popular but hard to get.
What is driving it in part is the fact govt can only do so much to stop it. Anyone with a phone can sell or buy with anyone else with a phone. Govt eventually sees that its better to get a piece of the pie than fight the incoming tide. Cuba may be able to stop it since even getting online is a big deal there, but I bet even in cuba they have coin.
I listen to your chart readings, you were right about btc coming down, we were both right about that. I thought it would drop to maybe 4500 or so but it has dipped below 4200 today. A great time to grab some cheap coin. If someone waits for it to hit 3k, they may miss the boat altogether. Even if it did it would rise up again so it matters only in the short term what you pay for it.
Does anyone know whats going on with coinbase? People are saying they can't get their coin out. I would avoid it even if it gets back to normal.

Hope everyone's been weathering the stupid Fake News fiasco  Took advantage of the cheap prices to gamble some money on a bunch of different ERC20 tokens and cheap cryptos. REALLY loving my WTC investment. Walton Chain is really starting to look very promising, and was added to a second exchange (Etherdelta). Binance is adding QTUM (or is it OMG??) to their exchange on September 12th so I picked up some BNB as well expecting it's price to rise some the day QTUM (or OMG) is added for some quick, and easy profits.
Been trading WTC a lot on Binance and been making some good money. You can use BNB to reduce exchange fees from 0.1% to 0.05% which is nice, as it lowers the amount of price change needed to make a profit when selling, or buying WTC.
Highly recommend checking out WTC, it's starting off much the same way ANS (now NEO) started off which is a great sign and it's still relatively cheap to buy ($1.74CAD/coin). Full disclosure I'm starting to become a WTC fanboy 
Coins I picked up to do some gambling with: SNGLS, QRL, EOS, PAY, FUN, DNT, XLM, SC, IOT, CVC

Considering the high energy prices in the netherlands mining probably wont be profitable. Youre better off just buying any crypto you wanna trade.

Really? I'm not good with math, but any (easy) way i can calculate if it is profitable? I'm completely new to CC so i am in the dark here 
Edit: Correct me if i am wrong, but it will be profitable when prices are going up like bitcoin rite?
Edit2: i can register as a company so i wont have to pay tax over the energy & get discount

For the traders out there, NEO is looking positive, although you really wanted to be buying on the break of the downtrend line on the 24th (as a fluke, I added just a day or two before the breakout, since volatility had collapsed and it looked like we had reached short term price equilibrium). The technical backdrop is still positive however, and for those looking for a passive opportunity to accumulate without being so aggressive as to simply hit the ask, I would suggest a ladder of GTC buy orders at 0.00740, 0.00650 and 0.00580 (NEO/BTC pairing values). Unless there is an expansion of regulatory concern that directly affects the NEO platform, I suspect that the bottom is in and that this one is worth sitting on for the long haul.
There is also an upcoming ICO for Omega One that I plan on participating in. This is a utility token and they appear to be going sky's the limit on fundraising, under the justification that they require a large balance sheet to facilitate their trade execution strategy without borrowing from customer wallets, in addition to surmounting the regulatory hurdles that they seek to tackle in order to attract institutional investors. They are also somewhat cagey on their plans for ongoing token sales once the platform is live. While the specific terms of their ICO remain veiled, their whitepaper tips their hand as to these motivations.
As someone who has been trading securities and derivatives for some time, I find the platform intent highly attractive, particularly with respect to their eye toward regulatory compliance, cross-chain and ultimately fiat transactions. I like that members of the Omega One team have worked for traditional exchange finance on a large scale (specifically in building Fx trading infrastructure for a high volume client), and that seasoned banker John Mack (having worked as chairman and CEO for Morgan Stanley as well as CEO for Credit Suisse) has openly voiced his enthusiasm for the project. I also like that projects with ancillary congruence such as Kyber began public trading this week at ~3x their ICO price and have remained fairly stable without coming close to testing the ICO entry price level. Another positive tidbit has been the success of Binance Coin, an in-house token for a large Hong Kong exchange that, similarly to one aspect of the Omega One proposition, is used to settle trades at (generally) more favorable prices than fiat.
If Omega One delivers on its ability to service institutional investors with a regulatory complaint trading platform, the fact that holding a larger number of the Omega One tokens allows for relative priority in order execution is a nice value proposition. My self interest in the personal use of the platform further drives my intrigue here. Yet one of my key concerns is potentially unlimited fundraising and a team that, while considerably more attractive than 0x for example, is more concentrated with less depth than the team from Wanchain, all platforms that serve up some functional overlap. As an aside, US residents are excluded from participating in the Wanchain ICO, otherwise I would absolutely be involved with them.
Food for thought. If anyone else has been paying attention to these exchange program ICO's, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts.

@geo:
I haven't heard anything about Omega One, or Wanchain. I have a very positive outlook on the 0x protocol, as district0x is using it, and Bitfinex is releasing a new exchange called Ethfinex which will be based on the 0x protocol. Kyber I have a small sum of as it's an interesting project. I've also bought BMC (BlackMoonCrypto) as it's another similar project but also interesting.
I'm extremely bullish on Chainlink (LINK) as it's a very promising project aiming to decentralized Oracles to provide external data ingestion points for ethereum smart contracts. They also have a major partnership with SWIFT going on which is big in the finace world. I worked for a finance company doing IT work and all the bankers get their dicks real hard over anything involving SWIFT.
Very bullish on WTC (WaltonChain) as well. I bought in extremely cheap ($1.50) so I've been making a shitload of BTC swing trading it, and just holding it. They also won the JinJiang competition, so they are getting a $1Mil grant. They also have some pretty significant talent on their team, including I belive a former VP of samsung.
Another coin I've become very bullish on, and am always increasing my holdings by a few coins everyday is Neblio (NEBL). It's very similar to STRAT, however I think they have greater potential as instead of locking developers into using C++ to utilize their blockchain, they are building a REST API to utilize their blockchain, so any language can be used to interact with their blockchain. STRAT is PoS as well with a 1% annual stake rate, whereas Neblio has a 5 or 105 yearly stake rate (can't remember the exact number).

Good call on WTC. I had put in a GTC order for a chunk of WTC at 0.000310 BTC on Sept 11, but cancelled it several days later to divert funds into NEO . A little frustrating to miss the recent expansion to the upside on WTC, but at least the NEO trade was profitable too, albeit much less so (up a little more than 50% instead of almost 500%).
I assume you participated in the NEBL ICO, which seemed to distribute tokens at just under $0.20 if you got in on the bonus round? The only other place I can see to secure NEBL is via Cryptopia, a New Zealand based exchange with which I have no experience. I like the headline idea of Blockchain as a Service, but the team seems a bit thin. Nevertheless, I see no harm in allocating a small amount of capital in efforts to diversify my portfolio. Cryptopia is presently down for maintenance, but I think I'll stick in a bid for some NEBL @ ~ 0.000230 BTC.

On a strictly technical basis, I like VeChain (VEN) and have accumulated a long position with an average cost basis of $0.32/VEN. I have not fully appraised myself of all the fundamental details underpinning the issue, so this is a purely speculative trade based on a significant pickup in trading volume over the past two days and the first meaningful volatility expansion above the initial basing period created since the token hit the market. Because of this, the position is kept small at ~3% of my aggregate crypto portfolio.
I believe buy orders filled near 0.00007 BTC will be rewarded, with the 0.00005-0.00006 BTC level serving as a secondary support (the bottom of which I believe has a low probability of being hit for an order fill). Initial upside target on a breakout above 0.00009 BTC would be 0.00013 BTC, which if you get a good fill would indicate a relatively easy near double. Buyer beware, this coin is new and thus not very liquid, which increases the risk of taking a large position. On the other hand, the lack of liquidity can carry gains farther and faster than one may expect, should the train in fact end up leaving the station. As such, it would not surprise me to see this hit 0.0002-0.0003 BTC (a roughly 300% gain), but given traditional analysis, 0.00013 BTC would be the more appropriate technical upside target.
An additional trade I put on over the last 24 hours is long NEBL, entered at around 0.0003 BTC on a breakout from a two week basing period. I like the fundamental idea of Blockchain as a Service that is more developer friendly and widely applicable than traditional blockchain systems. The NEBL token popped above its all time highs today, and I would suspect that there is a good chance upside momentum could continue. However, again, this is an illiquid issue that I would advise caution with and not recommend chasing or purchasing in major size. At this point, I would target 0.0004 BTC for an initial entry, and if it gets back down to test its base at around 0.00025 BTC, that would be an excellent level to accumulate.

Thank you! I managed to make some insane calls this last week, was able to hop on WTC, LINK, NEBL, TRX, and LRC at insanely low price.
Nope I didn't find out about it until after the ICO, first bought in at $1.52CAD. I'm extremely bullish on NEBL and am actively staking it, as well as always adding to my total supply everyday. Yea unfortunately Cryptopia isn't the best exchange but it's the only one NEBL is trading on right now. It surged massively the last 24 hours.

Interesting, will have to check it out. Did you do any trading of ADA when it was released on Bittrex? It was extremely volatile, but was very profitable.

I was shocked as to how high NEBL reached today! Was not expecting it at all so I wasn't able to take as many profit as I wanted too. I would also be very hesitant about buying NEBL right now.
A friend and I have been buying up large amounts repeatedly, and accidentally pumped the price 15% yesterday so we've been slowing our buys

Real quick notes on the prior altcoin trades in VEN and NEBL I noted above. Posted this last Sunday to the trading group I hang with, my apologies for not including it here, but hey, better late than never!
Quote:
Both the NEBL and VEN trades I outlined last Wednesday have traded back into support ranges that call into question the original thesis for a quick near term gain. There were some good gains to be had in NEBL for the nimble, but the subsequent weakness in both issues warrants a reality check... Due to the incredibly low trading volume, I kept my positions small enough that I'm going to hold them just to see what happens, but if you bought either of these on my recommendation in hopes for quick gains, I would suggest that you should be out of them by now and your money is best kept in BTC which is showing positive momentum. At the very least, for short term traders, stop losses should be in place at 0.00005 for VEN and 0.00039 for NEBL.
I would also note that because VEN and NEBL do not yet have operative platforms, they are entirely speculative and subject to the whims of, at times, poorly capitalized traders. It is for this reason that I am choosing to keep my small positions active, as I do like the ideas behind both issues and would like to participate in the potential market reaction, should these ideas reach their execution stage.
For the more important issue... the bitcoin bulls are back in charge!
For those strictly of a trading mindset, the BTC move over the last 24 hours that pushed above $5000 was on high volume. This strengthens the theory that prior resistance around $4800-$5000 has now become a strong support level and it would be surprising to see BTC fall below it in the near term. Thus, all trading positions should have stops in place at $4950 as their ultimate line in the sand. For the nimble traders who went in huge on the breakout, a tighter partial position stop at $5400 would be warranted to protect profits and allow one to reload, should the lower support level be successfully tested. Upside targets are anyone's guess, and I would contend that anyone attempting to place a definitive upside target is either a fool or a liar, neither of whom I would care much to listen to. That being said, no one ever got hurt taking a profit, so if you just want to ring the register a bit, go ahead and do it, but I would still advocate leaving something on the table.
To opine a bit on the nuances of momentum trading... The best way to allow yourself to capitalize on high momentum moves like this, is not to set an absolute sell target, but to continually reevaluate your stop levels by watching for clusters of high volume trading activity, and setting a ladder of partial position stops at those levels (with the key being continual reevaluation so that your ladder of stops keeps moving higher in accordance with newly developed areas of high volume price clusters). As support levels should always be given some wiggle room, a ladder of multiple stop levels using multiple support levels will allow you to continue participating without being shaken out of your entire position, should there be a quick spike through short term support that immediately reverses higher.
If you look at the hourly BTC chart, the breakout above $5000 was on volume some 4x higher than average. The consolidation around $5300 over a period of several hours indicates that level as an area where some measure of equilibrium was reached between buyers and sellers, and a large volume of BTC changed hands. Now that we have seen a meaningful move above $5300, one could reasonably expect that this level would be defended by buyers if it is again retested, as many of those who sold their stake will likely regret their decision and may want to re-enter at the level they sold in attempts to "do over".
Although there was some selling around $5200 that resulted in a short pause, it should be considered only a moderate to weak support level, as volume was declining and it didn't hold at that level for very long. $5400-ish was where the initial run from $5000 was ultimately met with more aggressive selling (a red candle with volume roughly twice the average). Price pulled back and meandered around $5300 for over six hours before breaking above that initial $5400 spike (on increasing/better than average volume), which indicated that buying momentum is still handily in charge of the tape. Two of the most recent hourly candles successfully retested the $5400 level, thus $5400 would be my first partial position sell stop. $5200 would suffice as a secondary stop as it was technically the first pause in the breakout, and sits just below the more significant cluster of prices at $5300. Lastly, $4950 would be my absolute lowest trading stop at the present juncture as that would indicate a full retracement of the breakout.

Followup note to the big breakout in BTC to all time highs yesterday, $5400 held as support overnight and we are again flirting with the all time highs.
The more interesting news this morning is that Ether is finally playing catchup, aftering being pinned around $300 for what seemed like an eternity (although in reality was only a few weeks). I suspect many of the recent ERC20 token ICOs were selling into any moves above $300, and are subsequently more comfortable holding their remaining positions on the heels of the strength in bitcoin which is typically viewed as a key reference point for the crypto markets in aggregate.
- Power move on ETH, breaking out on high volume from $300.
- Current support for short term stops at $320 and $295.
- Traders looking to go long who missed the breakout would likely target buying on a test of $330.

I'm not a "nimble" trader I guess. I just mostly buy and hold but that has worked out well. The price seems to have stabilized for the moment at above 5700.
>Upside targets are anyone's guess, and I would contend that anyone attempting to place a definitive upside target is either a fool or a liar, neither of whom I would care much to listen to.
Why would having an "upside target" make one a fool or a liar? A target is something you shoot at, or for, iow an exit point perhaps. Maybe I misunderstand the term? I myself have no targets, I have said on occasion I would not be surprised to see 10k by sometime next year, it could even be this year. Does that make me a fool or liar? If someone told you it will definitely be that much then they are just guessing.
Who would have thought as recently as early this year that btc would be well over 5k now and holding steady with upward momentum? It was around 600 to 1k at that time so this is way more than a 500% move up. Looking at btc price history that would seem unlikely. But the bulls and incautious investors turned out to be right. I paused my gold buying to put it into coin and I'm glad I did. Gold has been static while coin has been a rocket. I have no candles to point to, just my analysis of the situation which either by luck or correct reasoning, or both, turned out to be correct. I've been saying this for years, get on the btc train because its going up.

So no one is worried bout this contentious chain split coming in November? There's tons of speculation about it, none much here though. I'd venture to think if I had skin in this one is atleast be wondering/trying to figure out how or what it will affect your investment.. Like I said there's a lot of buzz bout this, what may happen, who doesn't want it and who does all that..
Cheers
