You don’t have to worry about crossing borders, rescheduling for bank holidays, or any other limitations one might think will occur when transferring money. You are in control of your money with Bitcoin. There is no central authority figure in the Bitcoin network. https://coinreport.net/coin-101/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-bitcoin/ Quote With Bitcoin it is very possible to be able to send and get money anywhere in the world at any given time. You don’t have to worry about crossing borders, rescheduling for bank holidays, or any other limitations one might think will occur when transferring money. You are in control of your money with Bitcoin. There is no central authority figure in the Bitcoin network. Due to unique characteristic of bitcoin, it inherent some advantages, digital currencies has: - Convenient as mode of payment. - Very Low transaction fees. - Goverment has now way to interrupt user transaction. - Purhcases are not Taxed. - Information is transparent when using digital currency - Fewer risk on merchants (bitcoin transaction cannot be reversed thus dont carry information, merchant are protected from potential losses. - Bitcoin can be backed up and encrypted to ensure safety. But for every advantages there's always a Disadvantage like: - High risk and voltatile - Still developing (we cant so rely so much on bitcoin) - People need to learn bitcoin before engaging on how bitcoin earn. https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/100314/what-are-advantages-paying-bitcoin.asp Quote Due to the unique nature of virtual currencies, there are some inherent advantages to transacting through Bitcoin that users of other currencies do not get. I think everything in life has it advantages and disadvantages.Bitcoin has many advantages as many of us know but these are some of it disadvantages. 1. unregulated- Unlike other investment avenues, cryptocurrencies are not regulated by government entities or banks. For example, If we buy something with a credit card and get ripped off, we can call the bank and ask to be compensated. But if we get ripped off in a bitcoin transaction, it is impossible to get the money back. 2.may be open to illegal activity - Due to the lack of government control, terrorists and extortionists are also utilizing the cryptocurrency space to their advantage. Bitcoins users on either end of a transaction can remain relatively anonymous and cybercriminals have found ways to mask their addresses, so it can be difficult for government authorities and companies to trace such illegal activities 3.Bitcoin and altcoins are volatile -Investing in cryptocurrencies involves very high risk, as prices have been extremely volatile. From here https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/invest/7-reasons-why-you-should-not-invest-in-bitcoins-cryptocurrencies/articleshow/60891341.cms Quote Unlike other investment avenues, cryptocurrencies are not regulated by government entities or banks. Due to the lack of government control, terrorists and extortionists are also utilising the cryptocurrency space to their advantage If we talk about bitcoin deficiency means we are talking about its weakness, I think this is the weakness of bitcoin: 1. Not Stable Bitcoin is a speculative currency. Currently not enough companies that offer the purchase and sale of products with bitcoin as a means of payment. 2. Very risky lost or stolen As a virtual currency, bitcoins are encapsulated in the form of digital files or known as wallet files. In use, the wallet file is similar to the cash register function. But the wallet files stored on the hard disk of your electronic equipment are very vulnerable to damage. In addition, viruses that attack your hard disk can also make stored bitcoins just disappear. 3. Money laundering tool The use of bitcoin currency is not controlled by the government or authorized financial institution. As a result, such conditions provide great opportunities for criminal activities such as money laundering and tax evasion. Copy: 1. Unstable Bitcoin is a speculative currency. While there are not enough companies currently offering the purchase and sale of products with bitcoin as a means of payment. 2. Very risky lost or stolen As a virtual currency, bitcoins are encapsulated in the form of digital files or known as wallet files. In use, the wallet file is similar to the cash register function.

The digital wallet can also be hacked and stolen through malware. Not to mention the risk of hard disk content of bitcoin owners erased accidentally. More painful than cash, you lose all the contents of the wallet without being traceable to where it disappears. In addition, people with computerized expertise have the potential to steal the money. so I guess if we do not really keep it thoroughly it will most likely happen.

In addition, people with computer skills potentially steal money. About advantages Transactional convenience: Any transaction has a limit on the transfer and receive money, but for bitcoin there is no limit. You can send unlimited number of bitcoins to your friends. No matter where they are in the world they will also receive. You can also send at any time no one can manage the amount you send. Ensure security and confidentiality Every bitcoin transaction can be done and completed without any personal information. Transaction information is still kept, but your identity is kept private. This is one of the outstanding advantages that you get when investing in the field of virtual money. Bitcoin can not be faked The cost of testing gold is very high, and bitcoin testing is not costly and the truth is that bitcoin can not be faked. Because bitcoin is not shown in physical form. The cost is extremely low There are no intermediaries involved in the field of virtual currency investing. However, you still have to deal with the transaction but it is not worth it. On the downside Not many users: The fact is that the field of virtual money is still quite new and not many people know. The people of Vietnam have been used to using gold and silver. People are very shy and anxious to invest in this field. Somewhat unwieldy: In order to invest in bitcoin you need to have certain knowledge to get involved in this area. For those who are not technologically savvy, they can not participate in bitcoin. If not understood, the risk of fraud is very high.

The price of a single bitcoin surged to more than $17,000 in early December, and (for now) it is still going up. But cryptocurrency isn't quite like other assets, and Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are surprisingly easy to steal. They're also not always easy to protect. You forgot to include the source of your out-dated copy/paste:https://www.tomsguide.com/us/how-to-protect-bitcoins,news-26260.html A “wallet” is basically the Bitcoin equivalent of a bank account. It allows you to receive bitcoins, store them, and then send them to others. There are two main types of wallets. A hot wallet is one that you install on your own computer or mobile device. You are in complete control over the security of your coins, but since they are on a device that is connected to the internet they are less secure. The second type of wallet is a hardware wallet. They maintain high levels of security to protect your coins by storing your coins offline. Offline storage keeps your coins and ata out of reach from hackers. Original: https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/wallets/set-up/It seems that nearly every day there’s another report of a major hacking. And as the number of hacks increase, consumer desires for security increase as well. Blockchain is the model of internet security, that doesn’t produce a fully secure system for users. There are a number of important safety and security practices that can help to protect your private keys and therefore protect your funds. Original: https://cryptopotato.com/9-must-tips-securing-crypto-wallet/first it is wise to find a wallet with security measures beyond the normal wallet providers. Some wallets are now using encryption to protect the private keys. Users should always have at least two digital wallets. One wallet should be used for trading and transactional purposes, and the other wallet should be used to store savings and be kept in a secure location. This type of wallet must be a cold storage wallet. In anyway, a backup of the private keys have to be stored safely offline. This two safety tips can help you to avoid hacking your wallet. Some people don`t have enough knowledge when talking about bitcoin, they see bitcoin as an online game because they know that the value of bitcoin may goes down or goes up.Those sudden ups and downs would be bad news for them. Although bitcoin had a more than 100% return on investment in 2016, it’s also five times more volatile than the S&P 500, So for them bitcoin is an “an extremely risky investment.” they are fear that they cant get a big payday that they were hoping for. Original: http://time.com/money/4623650/bitcoin-invest/I believe there is even more examples. But I'm too lazy to look for them and those "few" examples should be enough, right? @OP: I know that I'm a little off topic but I didn't want to create a new thread just for this. Sorry :P. Btw, can anymore tell me where should I post cases like this one? Should I just create a new thread in the Meta/Reputation board or there is any "copy/pasting users" mega thread like there is for the "known alts"? I was looking for a thread like this one :DTitle: Re: Plagiarism and copy/paste Post by: marlboroza on January 31, 2018, 05:44:24 PM In fact, those ones tried paraphrasing likely excellent threads of other users in the forum.

Gold has a huge history to win this competition because Bitcoin is still very relatively new. However, this is cannot be said that Bitcoin cannot be considered as a safe haven asset. A key advantage that bitcoin has over gold is that the number of Bitcoin supply is fixed and transparent thereby discounting fears of the inflationary pressures associated with overproduction which could potentially decrease the value .In contrast,the supply of gold worldwide has steadily increased by 1–2% annualy over the past 400 years Such characteristics of Bitcoin on paper serve to increase bitcoin’s future utility as a means of exchange, account and the storage of value. One clear and huge advantage that gold has over bitcoin are trust and reliability. However, a change in consumer preferences, new cryptocurrencies could easily kick bitcoin to the end of history.Gold in the other hand has something very important that bitcoin lacks: a more than 2000 years history of being a decent store of value. This is very important for trust and people's willingness to store value in that particular asset.For 6000 of human civilisation ,gold had always been true money.The US Dollar is even pegged to Gold at one time. Gold had actually lasted basically the duration of organized civilization Another advantage Gold has over bitcoin is that it's not dependent on the internet, thus affording it a degree of protection from government.Gold has also proven itself immune to technological disruption from asset classes like tulips,dot-com companies and the US housing market have boomed and busted, gold has consistently raced ahead, withstanding the test of time. The correct answer to the bitcoin versus gold question will depend on oneself.Interestingly, it appears that there is an inverse relationship between Bitcoin and gold. @cmmhbct PARAPHRASING from here https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-gold-better-long-term-bet/ Quote Gold has something very important that bitcoin lacks: a more than 1,000-year history of being a decent store of value. This is very important for trust and people's willingness to store value in that particular asset," said Bogart. archived here https://archive.fo/IZNt1 @TryNinja don't forget to report post to moderator.

At least they can't easily level up a new account now. It feels like the leaking faucet has been fixed, and now we can start mopping.I was looking for a thread like this one :D May I suggest to keep it centralized in Mod, please check new additions: Reporting copy/pasting, please permban (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.0)? I still add new posts there once in a while.Although this thread got them banned faster, my last few additions are still at large. Title: Re: Plagiarism, "paraphrasing" and copy/paste Post by: silverleew1 on February 01, 2018, 09:48:00 AM First of all I am sorry to everyone that get offended by this post..
Especially marlboroza. I am truly sorry if you got offended by me. Quote Plagiarism, "paraphrasing" and copy/paste Giving merit for post like this is not a problems.. But please guys.. Not that I'm complaining anything.. But by "these method" alone the ID farmer can earn merits and the shitposter/spammers/paraphrasing still continues or even worse! And people that really helping just like marlboroza or others that hasn't have name yet will be abandoned and saying "no more merits for you".January 31, 2018, 06:52:56 PM Merited by theymos (50), SFR10 (5), ibminer (2), pugman (1), jtipt (1), TMAN (1), nullius (1) The simple example.. They create thousands ids and only need 10 of it for sell/ranks up/earn merits.. and they will start using the other hundreds or thousands ids to spam, tricking post, shitposting, Plagiarisming, "paraphrasing" ETC by intentionally so the 10 ID can create thread and report those.. The quality post recovered? No.. it will worsened by the merit system alone just like that simple example. When I search the old thread, posts at 2013-2014's, everything is nice, clean, intriguing, informative, healthy debating discussions.. But now.. Almost all of the thread is just "click bait" threads.. No discussion at all.. The OP long gone and never active.. Why choose to ignore reporting them? Why not clean it up together? The key is the Newbies ids, they must do this to level up. 1. The first one report spam/junk/shitpost/similar will rewarded 1 merit, but the one that got reported will -20 activity and also will demoted the rank if his/her activity is not enough for the actual ranks. As the Newbie rank can't post at all, only can post on new section called "New Comers" and asking question over there and get answered by two mods (creative mods that not only read and replay, but actively post the recently asked question for the newbie read) and the newbies can't report any posts in that section. 2. As for the newbies that already help us cleaning up the forum like collected 10 merit will eventually get new rank called "Matured Newbie". And continue to earn merit by reporting until they reach full member or any rank that you think it is enough for them to help! 3. Each day Newbies can only report 2 posts and matured newbie until any rank that you think it is enough for them to helping can only report 4 posts. 4. The matured newbie still need activity to level up. 5. As for them that already already full member or any rank that you think it is enough for them to help!. Doesn't need merit anymore to rise up, they only need activity. 6. And the most important thing.. Let's get down together helping this forum out by demoting one of our current rank and go earn our actual rank back with the new system going on. 7. For the first time I am sure that all the mods gonna overwhelmed by the new system going on.. But it is far better!! And the posts that should be reported got reported by default! Right now not everyone want to report things because it's not their really business to do so.. With this loop going on, maybe within 2 months or more the forum got cleaned up and if there is not too much to report anymore.. You guys can start giving the High rank a promotion merits that they will get responsibility for it. If the promoted ID got reported and proven wrong/breaking rules then the responsibility High rank got the punishment as well. (with this the new member that actually good member and really a good friend of yours can join up without trouble) PS: I am really sorry if I'm out of topics and has bad grammar on it. Just want attentions from theymos and all of this is for the greater good of this bitcoin forum and all the members. (And if the coding is impossible then I will understand it clearly and just hoping for the best.) Edit: just another PS.. Might as well give 1 week notice to everyone in the forum so they clean up their mess post by the time given.

Title: Re: Plagiarism, "paraphrasing" and copy/paste Post by: al1n on February 01, 2018, 11:04:49 AM Admins created a "payment" method for posting that is harder to be earned, because it is not just for posting, but for quality of your words and sometimes this is extremely subjective.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder right? Besides that, high ranking members seem to get merits way often than the rest of the users and, forgive me for saying this, sometimes this feels like a form of "ass kissing". It is natural for people try to find ways to cut the corners, so if a post is merited high enough, somebody will try to copy it at some point in time. It happens all the time in real life. What is the minimum level people want to achieve here? I guess member is high enough for most of them. I don't think many will want to go over this level. At least because everything higher requires a lot of time and energy, and not everybody has that. So, perhaps, make the system in such a way that it is easier to get to the member level. I mean, not everybody is bitcoin or altcoin guru to give one of a kind advices in every post.

With that said, japan shutting it down may actually do some damage because of how much volume transacts there. China has banned it….multiple times. Russia banned it. Other countries have banned it. Yet here it is, at an all time high. It may or may not stay this high and more governments may try to regulate it, but at this stage Bitcoin simply won’t die - too many people have a lot of faith. If you mean the US specifically, I think the people of the States are too demanding to let an asset like this be regulated to the ground. Regulation may cause some correcting, whipsawing and volatility, but I doubt it would be shut down. The government probably has more incentive than anyone else to keep bitcoin at a very high price. After all, the government runs around arresting hackers who generally have a sizeable holding of Bitcoin, or similar currencies. Go look at how much they nabbed from Dread Pirate Roberts from the Silk Road arrest(although this was in Bitcoins hayday and their sell timing wasn’t too great here). If it does get regulated to the ground, smart money will just hop ship to more anonymous routes/exchanges and use a currency such as Monero. The better question is can the government shutdown cryptocurrencies? :) Archived post: http://archive.is/iqW9P (http://archive.is/iqW9P) Original: https://www.quora.com/Can-the-government-shut-Bitcoin-down (https://www.quora.com/Can-the-government-shut-Bitcoin-down) Quote Short answer: no Bitcoin is global, meaning one country shutting it down can’t kill it.

Keep these tips in mind when setting up or using your bitcoin accounts: Use different passwords for every account you use to limit any damage that can be done by hackers. Use a unique email when opening accounts on each exchange and only use that email address for that specific exchange. Enable two-factor authentication for your exchange accounts. This adds a software to your smartphone which adds extra security to your account. Without two-factor authentication, a hacker only needs your username and password to empty your balance. Don’t store your wallets and passwords in the same place or an attacker can gain access to both your passwords and your wallet at the same time. Never mention what exchange or wallet you use on social media or online forums. Any information you post online can be turned against you. Maintain backups of your bitcoin wallets and recovery phrases to ensure your coins aren’t lost for good if something happens to your main device. External hard drives, USB sticks, and encrypted backup files can be used to secure your recovery options and programs like VeraCrypt can encrypt these sensitive files.

This means that whenever you log on you’re required to authenticate yourself with an additional step other than your password. Most of the time this will be a verification text message sent to your phone. Even though this may feel cumbersome at times, using 2 factor authentication reduces the risk of theft drastically.

It can become a de facto standard of moving wealth/value, but will remain so as a fatherless/motherless currency (at best). Bitcoin has its fair share of problem (confirmation takes too much time, the 51% forking issue remains, number of transactions per second is limited, block size issues, etc.) It will most likely not die. It will definitely become an important currency to allow cross-border trade amongst various facets of business society, from free-lancers getting paid, to cross-border remittance rails. However, it will not be the final straw or the final currency that we will see. Yes. Bitcoin opened avenues on how peer-to-peer value exchange can be done (using the blockchain). But all these are problems Bitcoin Version 2.0 could solve and be adopted. Who knows the next variant of LiteCoin or Dash or Ethereum’s Ethers could be exactly what we are looking at.

Governments will realize the power (and benefits) of digital money - some already are, but cash and other paper instruments still remain. At some point in time governments might just issue their own version of the bitcoin enabling transactions without the need of intermediaries. I think that's true. Bitcoin has captured market opportunities so well. The increasing trend of internet users worldwide becomes a strategic moment of Bitcoin's presence. Especially with the development of the potential of global e-commerce business that encourages the global community to conduct cross-country trade transactions. In the era of global commerce, the public needs an easier, faster, safer, transparent, efficient, and most reliable base exchange. They believe bitcoin technology is capable of replacing banking technology systems that require resources, cost enormous, time-consuming and vulnerable correction of human error in recording all world financial transactions. Bitcoin is seen as more practical and fitting as an alternative option as a currency.

By creating a proxy ID, you can make sure that no one knows anything about you. 8. No chargebacks – Once you made the payment, you cannot chargeback. This considerably depletes the chances of a fraud. Once the transfer has completed, it cannot reverse. Nobody can file chargeback like you can on credit cards. It has it’s cons but can be an advantage also. 9. No third party – You are the master of your money. You can keep it in your wallet and use it as per your wishes. There is no third party involved like a bank on whom you need to trust. 10. No boundaries – When you talk about transactions using cryptocurrencies then there are no limits. You may be in a different part of the world and the receiver might be some other hemisphere, you can still transfer the amount without any hassle. The inter-country transaction is extremely easy with cryptocurrency because its function is not under the control of any central bank. Archived https://archive.fo/cQNXo.

I've seen at least one person already (unknowingly) give merit to a post that was copy and pasted from the internet, but checking every post before you give it merit is just going to be too time consuming and not worth the hassle. It's natural that copy and pasted posts will occasionally get merit but if they keep doing it the likelihood of them getting found out and perma banned just increases along with it so is it really worth the risk? All we can do is keep an eye out for it and copy and pasters usually get caught eventually but people trying to cheat the merit system in this or other ways are just something we're going to have to look out for.

Can “it “succeed without Bitcoin? Possible in theory (if the objectives are twisted accordingly) but very unlikely in practice. Originally, the blockchain is a new type of database that can be used and maintained without a central administrator. Unlike a traditional, relational database, the blockchain is administered through a consensus protocol. Therefore, whenever the word “blockchain” is used, we should ask which “blockchain” is in question, i.e what is the protocol ruling said blockchain. The original Bitcoin blockchain that lives on the global Bitcoin network has proven to be an effective and reliable tool over a period of more than seven years with a 99.99% availabililty. The properties of the original Bitcoin blockchain can be altered, often deteriorated, by any seemingly inocuous deviation from the original Bitcoin protocol. For instance, Ethereum deteriorates the security of the blockchain by adding (unnecessary) complexity, Litecoin deteriorates decentralization by shortening the block intervals, proof-of-stake protocols turns the “public” blockchain into a semi-private blockchain by merging two roles (users and miners), etc.. Specifically, the addition of one or more designated “administrators” defeats the purpose of the invention and leads to unclear benefits compared to a traditonal relational database. So far there is no compelling evidence, other than expensive trials by big banks, that a “permissioned” blockchain is more cost-effective, practical or secure in the context of a private network. Crucially, the value of tokens on a private blokchain is not a market value but a conventional value aggred upon by the network participants: these tokens are in fact IOUs recognized only by the parties. The absence of bitcoins as “bearer assets” removes the option to use Bitcoin transactions as a trustless settlement mechanism.

I've seen at least one person already (unknowingly) give merit to a post that was copy and pasted from the internet, but checking every post before you give it merit is just going to be too time consuming and not worth the hassle. It's natural that copy and pasted posts will occasionally get merit but if they keep doing it the likelihood of them getting found out and perma banned just increases along with it so is it really worth the risk? All we can do is keep an eye out for it and copy and pasters usually get caught eventually but people trying to cheat the merit system in this or other ways are just something we're going to have to look out for. I believe they will start to put sources in such posts, which is something either for press section or shouldn't be allowed in first place unless it is important for discussion/topic and/or someone wants to point something and in that case it should be either under quote or at least italicized. On side note I think I have good idea how to improve merit system, just have to write all things down.Title: Re: Plagiarism and copy/paste posts Post by: mainconcept on February 05, 2018, 08:26:52 AM User: sontoloyo177 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1527860 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1527860) Post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140793.msg29381951#msg29381951 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140793.msg29381951#msg29381951) Generally it can be said that inflation is a measure of a general increase of the price level in an economy, as represented typically by an inclusive price index, such as the Consumer Price Index in a nation. The term indicates many individual prices rising together rather than one or two isolated prices, such as the price of gas in an otherwise calm price environment. The inflation rate is typically expressed as an annual growth rate in prices (again, as measured by an index) even if measured over a shorter period of time. For example, if a radi o report states that "consumer prices rose at an inflation rate of six percent last quarter," that would typically mean than the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (the most quoted index) rose over the last three months at an annualized rate of around four percent, and the press would generally refer to the current inflation rate as around four percent. The term deflation refers to a general decline in prices or the price level as measured by an inclusive price index and, again, is not a reference to isolated price declines, like natural gas declining in price, in an otherwise stable price environment.

The analysis of transaction data of bitcoin accounts shows that bitcoins are mainly used as a speculative investment and not as an alternative currency and medium of exchange. Investors and early adopters like these assets because they are untethered from the regular economy where fiat currencies, more traditional forms of exchange and value transfer reign the day. one of bitcoins advantage is the high volatility, which counterintuitively results in more aggressive risk-reward trade-offs in investment portfolios.

Blockchain technology gives Bitcoin two important characteristics - it can be exchanged without a trusted intermediary, and it allows anonymous transactions. Therefore no one can manage the bitcoin price it depends on the market supply and demand. The value of bitcoin is so easy to lose to be considered a real currency. So people should stop expecting it to become a currency that ordinary people use for ordinary transactions. A currency, Bitcoin is not, nor shall it be.

I think everything in life has it advantages and disadvantages.Bitcoin has many advantages as many of us know but these are some of it disadvantages. 1. unregulated- Unlike other investment avenues, cryptocurrencies are not regulated by government entities or banks. For example, If we buy something with a credit card and get ripped off, we can call the bank and ask to be compensated. But if we get ripped off in a bitcoin transaction, it is impossible to get the money back. 2.may be open to illegal activity - Due to the lack of government control, terrorists and extortionists are also utilizing the cryptocurrency space to their advantage. Bitcoins users on either end of a transaction can remain relatively anonymous and cybercriminals have found ways to mask their addresses, so it can be difficult for government authorities and companies to trace such illegal activities 3.Bitcoin and altcoins are volatile -Investing in cryptocurrencies involves very high risk, as prices have been extremely volatile.

I think everything in life has it advantages and disadvantages.Bitcoin has many advantages as many of us know but these are some of it disadvantages. 1. unregulated- Unlike other investment avenues, cryptocurrencies are not regulated by government entities or banks. For example, If we buy something with a credit card and get ripped off, we can call the bank and ask to be compensated. But if we get ripped off in a bitcoin transaction, it is impossible to get the money back. 2.may be open to illegal activity - Due to the lack of government control, terrorists and extortionists are also utilizing the cryptocurrency space to their advantage. Bitcoins users on either end of a transaction can remain relatively anonymous and cybercriminals have found ways to mask their addresses, so it can be difficult for government authorities and companies to trace such illegal activities 3.Bitcoin and altcoins are volatile -Investing in cryptocurrencies involves very high risk, as prices have been extremely volatile.

Here are four tools all the links I use on a regular basis to stay up-to-date and help me to make better trades. 1 - Cointelligence It has several features: a) General Overview of the Market Here you can view several altcoins. To my knowledge, they have the largest database of all altcoins. You can sort the data by price, volume, algorithm, proof type, market cap and 24h change. b) Coin Specific Data You can view charts and market data on a specific cryptocurrency. Useful information includes latest trades from all exchanges, forums, orders on all exchanges, advanced charts and analysis. c) Coin Analysis You can also read the latest news regarding the market as well as analysis made by chart analyst experts. The Bitcoin analysis has been particularly impressive www.cointelligence.com/content/analysis/bitcoin 2 - Coinbase Probably the most popular and easy-to-use exchange in the space that allows you to buy/sell Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. This is my normal go to exchange if I need to bring fiat money into the market. 3 - Coindera Coindera makes it easy to monitor Bitcoin and over one hundred cryptocurrencies. You can get real-time alerts sent via email, SMS, and push notifications to your Android or IOS devices and the user interface is responsive and attractive. 4 - Blockfolio If you do wish to monitor your portfolio I recommend using Blockfolio. It's a mobile app available on Android and iOS that does not require an account. There is a lot of privacy speculation about portfolio management apps in general but this application seems to be on the up and up. Here are the tools I use to help me trade better.

Topic: Altcoin vs Token (Edit) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2921954.0 The main difference is the way they are structured. They have a few difference which i will mention below. Altcoins are a digital currency similar to Bitcoin, and the term stands for alternative to Bitcoin. altcoins are created by diverging from Bitcoin consensus rules or by developing a new cryptocurrency from scratch. Most popular altcoins use the same fundamental building blocks as Bitcoin. This approach is relatively easy to carry out because Bitcoin is a free, open source platform. When an altcoin forks at the blockchain level, an alternate system of consensus rules must be used and the coin will have an entirely different distributed ledger. The same is true for altcoins built from scratch. Some altcoins have different monetary policy rules built into the currency to encourage different uses and treatment. Policies such as minimum spend, or positive or negative interest on coins stored, can encourage or discourage hoarding. Policies for coin mining may function differently from Bitcoin, as may the number of coins paid out per new block mined. While some altcoins can be attempts to enrich founders and offer little new, many have found niches because of way their differences encouraged new miners and uses. Since Bitcoin's inception there have been upwards of 500 altcoins created. Litecoin, Dogecoin, Blackcoin, Freicoin, Peercoin, Vericoin, Myriad, NXT are just a few examples of altcoins. Tokens are a representation of a particular asset or utility, that usually resides on top of another blockchain. Tokens can represent basically any assets that are fungible and tradeable, from commodities to loyalty points to even other cryptocurrencies. Creating tokens is a much easier process as you do not have to modify the codes from a particular protocol or create a blockchain from scratch. All you have to do is follow a standard template on the blockchain - such as on the Ethereum or Waves platform - that allows you to create your own tokens. This functionality of creating your own tokens is made possible through the use of smart contracts; programmable computer codes that are self-executing and do not need any third-parties to operate. Tokens are created and distributed to the public through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO), which is a means of crowdfunding, through the release of a new cryptocurrency or token to fund project development. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=629798 Quote Tokens Tokens are a representation of a particular asset or utility, that usually resides on top of another blockchain.

Virtual currency like Bitcoin has shifted into the public eye in recent years. Some employees are paid with Bitcoin, more than a few retailers accept Bitcoin as payment, and others hold the e-currency as a capital asset. Recently, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) clarified the tax treatment of Bitcoin and Bitcoin transactions. Convertible virtual currency is subject to tax by the IRS Purse filled with coins Bitcoin is the most widely circulated digital currency or e-currency as of 2017. It's called a convertible virtual currency because it has an equivalent value in real currency. The sale or exchange of a convertible virtual currency—including its use to pay for goods or services—has tax implications. The IRS answered some common questions about the tax treatment of Bitcoin transactions in its recent Notice 2014-21. Tax treatment depends on how Bitcoins are held and used. Bitcoin used to pay for goods and services taxed as income If you are an employer paying with Bitcoin, you must report employee earnings to the IRS on W-2 forms. You must convert the Bitcoin value to U.S. dollars as of the date each payment is made and keep careful records. Wages paid in virtual currency are subject to withholding to the same extent as dollar wages. Employees must report their total W-2 wages in dollars, even if earned as Bitcoin. Self-employed individuals with Bitcoin gains or losses from sales transactions also must convert the virtual currency to dollars as of the day received, and report the figures on their tax returns. Bitcoins held as capital assets are taxed as property If you hold Bitcoins as a capital asset, you must treat them as property for tax purposes. General tax principles applicable to property transactions apply. If the Bitcoins are held as a capital asset, like stocks or bonds, any gain or loss from the sale or exchange of the asset is taxed as a capital gain or loss. Otherwise, the investor realizes ordinary gain or loss on an exchange. Bitcoin miners must report receipt of the virtual currency as income Some people "mine" Bitcoins by using computer resources to validate Bitcoin transactions and maintain the public Bitcoin transaction ledger. According to the IRS, when a taxpayer successfully “mines” Bitcoins and has earnings from that activity whether in the form of Bitcoins or any other form, he or she must include it in his gross income after determining the fair market dollar value of the virtual currency as of the day he received it. If a bitcoin miner is self-employed, his or her gross earnings minus allowable tax deductions are also subject to the self-employment tax.

You are in control of your money with Bitcoin. There is no central authority figure in the Bitcoin network. Due to unique characteristic of bitcoin, it inherent some advantages, digital currencies has: - Convenient as mode of payment. - Very Low transaction fees. - Goverment has now way to interrupt user transaction. - Purhcases are not Taxed. - Information is transparent when using digital currency - Fewer risk on merchants (bitcoin transaction cannot be reversed thus dont carry information, merchant are protected from potential losses. - Bitcoin can be backed up and encrypted to ensure safety. But for every advantages there's always a Disadvantage like: - High risk and voltatile - Still developing (we cant so rely so much on bitcoin) - People need to learn bitcoin before engaging on how bitcoin earn. https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/100314/what-are-advantages-paying-bitcoin.asp Quote Due to the unique nature of virtual currencies, there are some inherent advantages to transacting through Bitcoin that users of other currencies do not get. I think everything in life has it advantages and disadvantages.Bitcoin has many advantages as many of us know but these are some of it disadvantages. 1. unregulated- Unlike other investment avenues, cryptocurrencies are not regulated by government entities or banks. For example, If we buy something with a credit card and get ripped off, we can call the bank and ask to be compensated. But if we get ripped off in a bitcoin transaction, it is impossible to get the money back. 2.may be open to illegal activity - Due to the lack of government control, terrorists and extortionists are also utilizing the cryptocurrency space to their advantage. Bitcoins users on either end of a transaction can remain relatively anonymous and cybercriminals have found ways to mask their addresses, so it can be difficult for government authorities and companies to trace such illegal activities 3.Bitcoin and altcoins are volatile -Investing in cryptocurrencies involves very high risk, as prices have been extremely volatile. From here https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/invest/7-reasons-why-you-should-not-invest-in-bitcoins-cryptocurrencies/articleshow/60891341.cms Quote Unlike other investment avenues, cryptocurrencies are not regulated by government entities or banks. Due to the lack of government control, terrorists and extortionists are also utilising the cryptocurrency space to their advantage If we talk about bitcoin deficiency means we are talking about its weakness, I think this is the weakness of bitcoin: 1. Not Stable Bitcoin is a speculative currency. Currently not enough companies that offer the purchase and sale of products with bitcoin as a means of payment. 2. Very risky lost or stolen As a virtual currency, bitcoins are encapsulated in the form of digital files or known as wallet files. In use, the wallet file is similar to the cash register function. But the wallet files stored on the hard disk of your electronic equipment are very vulnerable to damage. In addition, viruses that attack your hard disk can also make stored bitcoins just disappear. 3. Money laundering tool The use of bitcoin currency is not controlled by the government or authorized financial institution. As a result, such conditions provide great opportunities for criminal activities such as money laundering and tax evasion. Copy: 1. Unstable Bitcoin is a speculative currency.

About advantages Transactional convenience: Any transaction has a limit on the transfer and receive money, but for bitcoin there is no limit. You can send unlimited number of bitcoins to your friends. No matter where they are in the world they will also receive. You can also send at any time no one can manage the amount you send. Ensure security and confidentiality Every bitcoin transaction can be done and completed without any personal information. Transaction information is still kept, but your identity is kept private. This is one of the outstanding advantages that you get when investing in the field of virtual money. Bitcoin can not be faked The cost of testing gold is very high, and bitcoin testing is not costly and the truth is that bitcoin can not be faked. Because bitcoin is not shown in physical form. The cost is extremely low There are no intermediaries involved in the field of virtual currency investing. However, you still have to deal with the transaction but it is not worth it. On the downside Not many users: The fact is that the field of virtual money is still quite new and not many people know. The people of Vietnam have been used to using gold and silver. People are very shy and anxious to invest in this field. Somewhat unwieldy: In order to invest in bitcoin you need to have certain knowledge to get involved in this area. For those who are not technologically savvy, they can not participate in bitcoin. If not understood, the risk of fraud is very high.

Transaction information is displayed but your identity is completely confidential[...]. I mean, whole post is plagiarism.If that is happen do you think author need sanction too?

Copying/pasting posts also defrauds the signature campaign, as I'm sure aTriz (and moonlite) expect original posts. Chi is plagiarizing posts and getting paid for them, as well as intentionally breaking forum rules. Plagerism is explicitly banned in the forum rules, and I'd expect someone to read them. If you're new, maybe you didn't see them, but that's not really an excuse for someone who's been here for over 1.5 years. Here's another copy/paster. Mods, please permaban! Quote Question #9: A bitcoin transaction with 6 confirmations is usually considered to be secure. Why is it so? one is free to consider a bitcoin transaction as valid as soon as it appears on the ledger. However, the greater number of confirmations grants better surety that the transaction is valid and the buyer is not trying to double spend. Each subsequent confirmation makes the computational effort required to forge the contents of 51% of the distributed ledger that much higher; 6 confirmations is considered a practical limit after which the feasibility of such forgery becomes infinitesimally small. 6 confirmations is often considered to be as safe as waiting 6 months on a credit card transaction.

Some criminals use bitcoin because users can open a wallet to send and receive bitcoin without giving a name or identity. There is no bank or central authority, like a government, to control this information. Bitcoin also became a popular method for making payments when a computer system is taken over by ransomware. Researchers have also linked a quarter of bitcoin users with crime, such as hacks, money laundering and the trading of drugs and illegal pornography. Worryingly for investors, they believe that the sheer popularity of the cryptocurrency amongst criminals is a major contributor to its value. However, they also believe that bitcoin could become less useful and less valuable if criminals turn away from it. copied here : here (https://www.google.com.ph/amp/s/www.daytondailynews.com/business/crime-and-cryptocurrency-how-local-criminals-use-bitcoin-illegally/ispfn3mqvwWcsPRI1AKC0L/amp.html) and here (https://www.google.com.ph/amp/www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/bitcoin-price-fall-criminals-blockchain-anonymous-cryptocurrency-zcash-monero-dash-a8174716.html%3famp) https://archive.fo/JpvoK edit: most of his post are copied from other sites. thanks Title: Re: Plagiarism and copy/paste posts Post by: bill gator on March 05, 2018, 03:17:27 PM This seems to be a pattern, it is exactly the same thread with a few differences in punctuation and it pops up every few days from what I can notice.

You don’t have to worry about crossing borders, rescheduling for bank holidays, or any other limitations one might think will occur when transferring money. You are in control of your money with Bitcoin. There is no central authority figure in the Bitcoin network. https://coinreport.net/coin-101/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-bitcoin/ Quote With Bitcoin it is very possible to be able to send and get money anywhere in the world at any given time.

You are in control of your money with Bitcoin. There is no central authority figure in the Bitcoin network. Due to unique characteristic of bitcoin, it inherent some advantages, digital currencies has: - Convenient as mode of payment. - Very Low transaction fees. - Goverment has now way to interrupt user transaction. - Purhcases are not Taxed. - Information is transparent when using digital currency - Fewer risk on merchants (bitcoin transaction cannot be reversed thus dont carry information, merchant are protected from potential losses. - Bitcoin can be backed up and encrypted to ensure safety. But for every advantages there's always a Disadvantage like: - High risk and voltatile - Still developing (we cant so rely so much on bitcoin) - People need to learn bitcoin before engaging on how bitcoin earn. https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/100314/what-are-advantages-paying-bitcoin.asp Quote Due to the unique nature of virtual currencies, there are some inherent advantages to transacting through Bitcoin that users of other currencies do not get. I think everything in life has it advantages and disadvantages.Bitcoin has many advantages as many of us know but these are some of it disadvantages. 1. unregulated- Unlike other investment avenues, cryptocurrencies are not regulated by government entities or banks. For example, If we buy something with a credit card and get ripped off, we can call the bank and ask to be compensated. But if we get ripped off in a bitcoin transaction, it is impossible to get the money back. 2.may be open to illegal activity - Due to the lack of government control, terrorists and extortionists are also utilizing the cryptocurrency space to their advantage. Bitcoins users on either end of a transaction can remain relatively anonymous and cybercriminals have found ways to mask their addresses, so it can be difficult for government authorities and companies to trace such illegal activities 3.Bitcoin and altcoins are volatile -Investing in cryptocurrencies involves very high risk, as prices have been extremely volatile. From here https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/invest/7-reasons-why-you-should-not-invest-in-bitcoins-cryptocurrencies/articleshow/60891341.cms Quote Unlike other investment avenues, cryptocurrencies are not regulated by government entities or banks. Due to the lack of government control, terrorists and extortionists are also utilising the cryptocurrency space to their advantage If we talk about bitcoin deficiency means we are talking about its weakness, I think this is the weakness of bitcoin: 1. Not Stable Bitcoin is a speculative currency. Currently not enough companies that offer the purchase and sale of products with bitcoin as a means of payment. 2. Very risky lost or stolen As a virtual currency, bitcoins are encapsulated in the form of digital files or known as wallet files. In use, the wallet file is similar to the cash register function. But the wallet files stored on the hard disk of your electronic equipment are very vulnerable to damage. In addition, viruses that attack your hard disk can also make stored bitcoins just disappear. 3. Money laundering tool The use of bitcoin currency is not controlled by the government or authorized financial institution. As a result, such conditions provide great opportunities for criminal activities such as money laundering and tax evasion. Copy: 1. Unstable Bitcoin is a speculative currency.

About advantages Transactional convenience: Any transaction has a limit on the transfer and receive money, but for bitcoin there is no limit. You can send unlimited number of bitcoins to your friends. No matter where they are in the world they will also receive. You can also send at any time no one can manage the amount you send. Ensure security and confidentiality Every bitcoin transaction can be done and completed without any personal information. Transaction information is still kept, but your identity is kept private. This is one of the outstanding advantages that you get when investing in the field of virtual money. Bitcoin can not be faked The cost of testing gold is very high, and bitcoin testing is not costly and the truth is that bitcoin can not be faked. Because bitcoin is not shown in physical form. The cost is extremely low There are no intermediaries involved in the field of virtual currency investing. However, you still have to deal with the transaction but it is not worth it. On the downside Not many users: The fact is that the field of virtual money is still quite new and not many people know. The people of Vietnam have been used to using gold and silver. People are very shy and anxious to invest in this field. Somewhat unwieldy: In order to invest in bitcoin you need to have certain knowledge to get involved in this area. For those who are not technologically savvy, they can not participate in bitcoin. If not understood, the risk of fraud is very high.

Cryptocurrencies are volatile by nature. They are not as stable as currencies that have had centuries to develop. Bitcoin is the oldest coin on the market, and it has only been around since 2009. Nevertheless, there are a number of things that can affect cryptocurrencies: Regulation. If a government makes a statement or pushes for a particular regulation that affects cryptocurrencies, you can bet that the price will react to it (sometimes positively, often negatively). When China banned ICOs, the price of Ethereum fell by 41% in 15 days (from$386.83/ETH to $228.06). Media influence. Just like government regulation, exposure in the media greatly affects a cryptocurrency’s price. Whenever a public figure makes a statement regarding cryptocurrencies or a major retailer starts accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment, you will see the market respond. Changes to the technology. When a cryptocurrency’s core technology is affected (either via an update or the finding of a flaw), the cryptocurrency’s price is also affected. In conclusion Trading cryptocurrencies works almost exactly the same as trading fiat currencies, and it will benefit you greatly to learn the theory behind trading currencies. While profits are never guaranteed when trading, you can take steps to protect yourself from heavy losses and to improve your understanding of how markets move. Cryptocurrency trading can be profitable, but only if you play your cards right. Unfortunately, cramming everything you’ll need to know about trading into this beginner’s guide is impossible, but hopefully you now know enough to get you started on this exciting adventure.

First Instance: Copy - Archive link (https://archive.fo/45Sgf/) We are close to death cross now and if we don't bounce to 10k quickly we take this cross. Let's discuss how it can impact on bitcoin price. My forecast if we take it, we get bitcoin fall down to 3k at least within one big red candle. Any other opinion? I can see this happening as I think people are too quick to dismiss the market activity in 2013/2014 as not happening again. If you compare the charts the pattern almost looks like a exact repeat of 2014 where the market crashed, briefly recovered to about 50% of the previous high which held for maybe two months and then it crashed down again even further.original I can see this happening as I think people are too quick to dismiss the market activity in 2013/2014 as not happening again. If you compare the charts the pattern almost looks like a exact repeat of 2014 where the market crashed, briefly recovered to about 50% of the previous high which held for maybe two months and then it crashed down again even further. That time it took the remainder of 2014 and all of 2015 before the market started to slowly rise again in 2016, and taking nearly to 2017 to return to the 2013 highs. Point of all this is it has only been two months since the ATH's and it takes much longer than a few weeks to fully correct and recover. Hopefully the process does not draw out as long as it did last time, and maybe not go as deep, but getting back to the OPs point, I can fully see BTC dipping to 3k yet, albeit briefly, before taking off. I can also see this drawing out all through the summer and fall and maybe not starting a earnest recovery until sometime in 2019. Second Instance: Copy - Archive link (https://archive.fo/M18w0/) BTCBTCBTC Obviously Bitcoin won't die. Just like the stock market, bitcoin too is subject to ups and downs in price. It is the belief of people that makes Bitcoin stronger. Every time the market falls, people consider it the right opportunity to invest and make money, and I am sure that a lot of people would take this low price as an opportunity to invest in bitcoin. Bitcoin is not dead lol. The price is getting low but bitcoin will not die quickly we can recover it in somehow. Many people thought bitcoin is secretly dying I just wanted to say that its wrong Bitcoin will back soon to higher value. BTCBTCBTC original Obviously Bitcoin won't die.

Every time the market falls, people consider it the right opportunity to invest and make money, and I am sure that a lot of people would take this low price as an opportunity to invest in bitcoin. Also, going by the past trends, bitcoin usually upscales towards the ending quarters of the years. Even in 2017, it was the last quarter that resulted in such a high price for bitcoin. So just sit back, invest, and then watch the market go up.

I noticed this copy/paste while reading through a thread just now: I come to think that we can't fall massively below 5,000 dollars per BTC - if ever - unless some major whale - of the Mt. Gox trustee's scale - decides to cash out. I base my assumption on the premise that people who bought coins at high prices like over $12-$15k won't be selling at prices below some psychological limit because selling at such prices will be pointless and their only viable option will be to continue holding. that's not how market psychology works. you're being far too rational. irrational despair and exuberance dominate markets, and emotions dominate traders. so here's what usually happens: those people who bought at $15k? they think rationally like you for quite some time. but the price drops and drops and eventually, they start to wonder if the price will ever recover. then the crash accelerates. panic ensues. these once rational hodlers who were so strong at $8000 are suddenly so much weaker at $5000 and below. these are the bulls that sell the bottom on high volume in bitcoin's classic v-bottoms. then they provide lots of buying power on the way up when they want to recover their coins. you should only devote yourself to hodling if you can actually keep your cool during crashes and avoid selling into bottoms. that's not how market psychology works. you're being far too rational. irrational despair and exuberance dominate markets, and emotions dominate traders. so here's what usually happens: those people who bought at $15k? they think rationally like you for quite some time. but the price drops and drops and eventually, they start to wonder if the price will ever recover. then the crash accelerates. panic ensues. these once rational hodlers who were so strong at $8000 are suddenly so much weaker at $5000 and below. these are the bulls that sell the bottom on high volume in bitcoin's classic v-bottoms. then they provide lots of buying power on the way up when they want to recover their coins. you should only devote yourself to hodling if you can actually keep your cool during crashes and avoid selling into bottoms.

It would seem the only benefits of that would be for the people abusing the system by deleting posts or whatever.

It is a small theoretical chance the cryptography behind Bitcoin can be broken at some point in the future. Previously broken cryptos had been attacked/weakened severely before broken, so I am confident we have time to adjust before any problems. In addition, if ECDSA or SHA is taken down there is a lot bigger fish than bitcoin they will attack before us. Original source: https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/66561d/can_bitcoin_be_hacked/dgfrka1/ Bank bail out after bank bail out. There's also clearly demand to have an alternative to central bank issued currency. Also there's been people trying to create a purely digital currency for decades. They all got squashed by the government, so Bitcoin is decentralized like BitTorrent vs early attempts that were all centralized like napster. The more radical and experimental central bank policy gets (QE, negative rates, currency devaluations) the more alternatives like Bitcoin and gold look attractive. Original source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/55zaqp/what_led_to_the_creation_of_bitcoin/d8eybns/ Investing isn't easy. If it was easy to make money investing, everyone would be rich now. Do you think 5 reddit posts explaining basic trading concepts will help you make a lot of money? Not a chance. Additionally, this rather looks like an attempt to publicize his ""investment firm"", which promises 300% returns over 3-5 years. It's obvious that in order to get such returns, there has to be a lot of risk involved. Also, the terminology on the page sounds an awful lot like all those ""magical risk-free daily 7% returns"" threads on BitcoinTalk, you know, those ""investments"" that pay old investors with the new investors money until it begins to collapse and they run with all the money. Original source: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/274wbs/how_to_make_money_trading_bitcoin_day_1_of_5/chxxip6/ Thanks to the price rally over the last month I have become a crypto-millionaire. I'm not selling my coins and if the price goes to zero tomorrow I will not shed a tear. I have gained so much more than wealth from Bitcoin. It has opened my eyes to the world of computer science, taught me about markets and economics, pounded into my head the importance of being street smart and never trusting any person or business unconditionally with financial matters, and, most importantly, given me exposure to some of the most interesting, intelligent people around. Here's to the past and cheers to the future. I'm sticking around to see what the years ahead bring and I hope you will too. EDIT: I forgot to add my most important lesson: The importance of being able to ignore noise, hysteria and emotions and sticking to your guns when investing in something. It's only possible to do this when you truly believe in your investment and are informed and confident enough to listen to the naysayers but calmly explain to them why they are wrong. The people who make money are the people who stick to their guns when everyone else is hysterical. That has been my most important lesson.

With so many ICOs happening, it’s good to know which ones have potential, but it’s even more important to know whether investing in this space even makes sense. In many ways the current wave of ICOs (Initial Currency Offerings) looks a lot like the heady days of stock IPOs in the late ’90s. The potential return was so enticing that euphoria overtook common sense in many ways. Today we would like to address 5 key factors on whether the ICO that you would like to invest in is good or not. It’s great to have a whitepaper and detail out a project, but how detailed has the team really thought through their own project? Short Whitepaper? No Details? Avoid! The whitepaper contains all of the core information you should need to know about the coin. Once you’ve done that, go to forums to read about some of the holes that may exist within those Whitepapers. See if the developers are actively addressing the concerns or simply ignoring them. The more information available, the greater the debate, and the more transparent a team is about their tech, the better it is for the investor. No Development Roadmap? Avoid! What is the team’s development and marketing road map? Does it make sense? Is the time frame reasonable? Has the team already proven it can stay on top of its own development schedule from before the ICO? I am wary of any project that doesn’t have a detailed road map and so should you be. Does the team have real experience in the space they are attempting to coinify? If so, how much experience? What about relationships to industry veterans who can elevate the project further? Ultimately our investment is betting on the people behind the coin, not the coin itself. Our investment is a vote of confidence that the team can pull off the incredible feat they have set their sights on. Are they full time? The worst thing is to have a part time staff. This means the project isn’t their primary focus and it can mean the project may go slow or, even, no where. We want a full time team dedicated to fleshing out the vision. How many years of experience do they have? Nothing wrong with the young diving into a killer project, but do they have support from a more experienced team? If not, then navigating the unknown could prove harder than initially anticipated. Nothing stays rosy for long. Having veteran team members can help to brave through turbulent times, which are guaranteed to happen. Do they have every aspect covered? Architecture? Development? Scale? Business Development? Marketing? A team only comprised of technology developers can also prove to be a poor choice for investment. It’s important to have a balanced team, one that can also get the word out, and build relationships to accelerate growth. At the same time if a project only has a single developer, it’s a single point of failure. If anything happens to that one person, the entire project can head into a downward spiral. Redundancies are required to ensure that no single person can make or break the project. How many projects are now raising over $50M or $150M in a single go? Is that a good thing? Depends, but generally speaking, not really. A small team developing a disruptive technology probably needs money in the low millions to begin with, in order to prove their case. From there they should raise further capital once there is a real use case and growth in user-base. The idea of a paper company raising over $100M should have any investor question on why do they need so much resources? And the answer should have a solid breakdown of where funds will go. Specifying that X% will go to founders and early investors and the rest to the crypto community of investors says nothing. We want to know what will be going into hiring and what would the runway be for those funds. Real planning beyond just the tech is incredibly important. Keep in mind that this is not a regulated space. We’re in the wild wild west territory so anything put into an ICO should be considered thrown away for all intents and purposes. That is not to say the ICO can’t be successful and the coin can’t thrive, but the risks are high. So consider the facts and only put in what you can afford to lose.

Yeah I never received any messages regarding the ban (by email or messages sent through btctalk), just logged in one day to find the big red text (mentioned last post) displayed across the top of every page after logging into the banned account. Figured with it happening so shortly after posting here the two events must be related, and I'm left picking up the pieces for someone else's mistake.

However, the platform also supports additional currencies, including Monero, Factom, Augur, Ether, and XRP. All loans will be refunded together with the usage fee when the loan period ends. It is not possible to exchange currencies by lending them, which is only normal. No lending platform supports that functionality at this time. 2. BITFINEX This feature effectively allows users to provide funding in the form of multiple currencies to Bitfinex traders. Users can determine their own return rate, duration, and amount, as is the case with any of these three platforms. It is rather interesting to note Bitfinex users can lend money in fiat currency as well. Most platforms only support cryptocurrency, yet this exchange is quite different. It is possible to borrow USD as well, which is quite interesting. It is unclear how popular lending is on Bitfinex right now ever since the platform got hacked last year, though. Then again, it is an option well worth considering for everyone who wants to explore lending options in the world of cryptocurrency. 3. POLONIEX No one will be surprised to learn most of the cryptocurrency-oriented lending is taking place on Poloniex right now. The company has been a great source of lending services over the past few years. Poloniex also supports a wide range of currencies, which certainly helps to move things along. Right now, the platform supports currencies including Bitcoin, Ether, Doge, Dash, Litecoin, and others. There is no fiat currency lending on Poloniex, though, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Title: Re: Plagiarism and copy/paste posts Post by: DziugasB on May 14, 2018, 01:26:45 PM Everyone should understand the positive and negative sides of an ICO. With so many ICOs happening, it’s good to know which ones have potential, but it’s even more important to know whether investing in this space even makes sense. In many ways the current wave of ICOs (Initial Currency Offerings) looks a lot like the heady days of stock IPOs in the late ’90s. The potential return was so enticing that euphoria overtook common sense in many ways. Today we would like to address 5 key factors on whether the ICO that you would like to invest in is good or not. It’s great to have a whitepaper and detail out a project, but how detailed has the team really thought through their own project? Short Whitepaper? No Details? Avoid! The whitepaper contains all of the core information you should need to know about the coin. Once you’ve done that, go to forums to read about some of the holes that may exist within those Whitepapers. See if the developers are actively addressing the concerns or simply ignoring them. The more information available, the greater the debate, and the more transparent a team is about their tech, the better it is for the investor. No Development Roadmap? Avoid! What is the team’s development and marketing road map? Does it make sense? Is the time frame reasonable? Has the team already proven it can stay on top of its own development schedule from before the ICO? I am wary of any project that doesn’t have a detailed road map and so should you be. Does the team have real experience in the space they are attempting to coinify? If so, how much experience? What about relationships to industry veterans who can elevate the project further? Ultimately our investment is betting on the people behind the coin, not the coin itself. Our investment is a vote of confidence that the team can pull off the incredible feat they have set their sights on. Are they full time? The worst thing is to have a part time staff. This means the project isn’t their primary focus and it can mean the project may go slow or, even, no where. We want a full time team dedicated to fleshing out the vision. How many years of experience do they have? Nothing wrong with the young diving into a killer project, but do they have support from a more experienced team? If not, then navigating the unknown could prove harder than initially anticipated. Nothing stays rosy for long. Having veteran team members can help to brave through turbulent times, which are guaranteed to happen. Do they have every aspect covered? Architecture? Development? Scale? Business Development? Marketing? A team only comprised of technology developers can also prove to be a poor choice for investment. It’s important to have a balanced team, one that can also get the word out, and build relationships to accelerate growth. At the same time if a project only has a single developer, it’s a single point of failure. If anything happens to that one person, the entire project can head into a downward spiral. Redundancies are required to ensure that no single person can make or break the project. How many projects are now raising over $50M or $150M in a single go? Is that a good thing? Depends, but generally speaking, not really. A small team developing a disruptive technology probably needs money in the low millions to begin with, in order to prove their case. From there they should raise further capital once there is a real use case and growth in user-base. The idea of a paper company raising over $100M should have any investor question on why do they need so much resources? And the answer should have a solid breakdown of where funds will go. Specifying that X% will go to founders and early investors and the rest to the crypto community of investors says nothing. We want to know what will be going into hiring and what would the runway be for those funds. Real planning beyond just the tech is incredibly important. Keep in mind that this is not a regulated space. We’re in the wild wild west territory so anything put into an ICO should be considered thrown away for all intents and purposes. That is not to say the ICO can’t be successful and the coin can’t thrive, but the risks are high. So consider the facts and only put in what you can afford to lose.

Copy post: Hello guys, I see that many traders are afraid of risk, and they always want a guaranteed profit, but unfortunately, this gain is always a little in value. Archived (http://archive.li/kFa70)And in many threads, they always ask about "how to make a safe method in trading". For me, the risk is essential in every field ( especially in trading) to win a lot of money. Furthermore, when you are afraid, then you will never achieve what you want. Many businessmen/women (billionaires) and successful traders become rich because they take risks.

It makes it sound like, "Oops, I'm sorry, I meant to give you credit. I'll be sure to mention you next time." That might be something friends or colleagues do in casual conversation in settings where everyone knows and works closely with each other, but the moment you present it as your work either in written, spoken, or published form, it's no longer about courtesy.

That was an innocent mistake and I understood that. Man, that was 1 month ago :D But if I recall correctly, it was something about this plagiarism https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2855895.msg35621624#msg35621624 "Someone" pointed that is plagiarism from media and "someone else" pointed that it is from his media. I took deeper research and found out article from media is also plagiarism and both "users" were wrong at that time. So most likely when I said "don't be lazy" I was referring to that, i don't know, can't recall any more as the topic has been trashed, but I think you said it was from media and vod tagged account then I said it was from his media and vod removed tag and then I found out from where it was. ;D Yeah, makes sense. ::) Btw, congrats on 100+ merits :) |
