101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My country banned bitcoin. What I can do ? on: June 06, 2018, 07:13:48 AM
As long as you can still access the exchange site and this forum need not worry too much. You just need to be quiet and do what you normally do on bitcoins. Unless the government in your country closes and block all bitcoin-related access then it seems you can not do anything.

this is the important thing that we should know because if his government banned the sites then you cannot work in the cryptocurrency. but I think his government doesn't want to block all internet access because this will makes many people become angry. you could still save your bitcoin in your personal wallet but maybe you need to find a help from the other when you want to withdraw the bitcoin.

If you have ever invested in any crypto then this is because you have seen an ad or a banner or something in the internet about that ICO or another crypto then this is because you saw something. Banning cryptocurrency ads and in social media is not a good thing, how will people get informed now if they spent most of the time in social media?
I think China and other countries is censoring Cryptocurrency Ads on Search Engines and Social Media because Mark Zuckerberg has started banning too into the Facebook but nobody can stop cryptos.
102  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 7 Difficulties for a trader on: June 01, 2018, 09:41:38 AM
difficulty in trading for juniors and seniors:
1. difficult to find market
2. difficult to analyze coins
3. impatient
4.not focused
5. leaving the market when prices are rising
6. an estimate of buying coins
7. It's hard to find capital if it ever fails

When it comes that we have reached our target and it's time to sell then I think that this is hard too because you are hungry and want to get more and more.
Some are similar to some others but this is real, I think most of us who trade or traded before know what is the feeling to trade something too often and what pressure is this to our head.
Personally when I traded everyday it was to tiring thing and I couldn't focus on doing something else with my mind constantly in the trading what if its price has dropped how to cover the loss and many things that comes to our mind.
103  Economy / Speculation / Re: How low will this bear trend go? on: May 31, 2018, 10:07:19 AM
To be honest I read an article where they stated that if the Value of Bitcoins reaches below 4000$ it will be energetically expensive for for the people who are into minning and that would drastically make it's popularity go down.
The small miners would be affected by this not the big ones ..but if that happens we could see a heavy price down.
I hope it doesn't happen because we have already seen so much down since January.

As of now the green fields of the market is here and we are just waiting for it and need to be more patient.
Lets wait for mid spring to see the magic if the price comes back to ~20k.
The bearish month had ended, and it is the time of balancing the market now, the Chinese New Year has ended a long time ago but seems it wasn't the main reason, there are many things that affect the price. Lightning is one of the solutions for this and once release we can see how the high ground again.
104  Economy / Economics / Re: Will the bitcoin be outdated by another currency? on: May 25, 2018, 12:03:21 PM
No, bitcoin still the number one coin in crypto world and no one will above on it. Even the price is volatile still more people want and trust bitcoin and they still believe that it will rise again. More people become rich in investing bitcoin and it has the most potential coin and highest value thats why no one can outdated bitcoin.
This sounds impossible, rather more than not possible for the counterparts have been struggling other than ETH. ETH has been stable in the crypto market and has been attracting so many investors that it sounds ETH will go a big way but again the Bitcoin is not a piece of cake and if there is a rise in the value of the ETH, there will be a more than proportionate rise in the value of Bitcoin which means that Bitcoin is invincible.

The bitcoin core developer team won't let bitcoin to be "outdated" but also the community highly support the bitcoin but I see that people are being spread into altcoins gradually.
So I think there might be a slowly loss of interest of bitcoin but as most of the exchanges are supporting trading pairs mostly btc/xxx then bitcoin won't be outdated for a long time from now.
Why people are using other altcoins is because of the low transaction fees there, much faster transaction time, fast confirmation etc.
105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Increases Again - Will Transaction Costs Become Problems? on: May 25, 2018, 09:33:41 AM
Well, there's not only Segwit adoption being pretty high these days, but also there's the Bitcoin payment protocol. I know a few websites I purchase things from accept this form of payment. It cuts down on network usage by quite a bit. Bitpay I think has a good guide on what exactly it is. But trust me, it helps A LOT.

We are seeing a huge decrease from 7-10% everyday dropping and now it's $7,500.
Bitcoin definitely will touch 20 k dollars in the next year because of two main reasons. First, it has a very limited supply, only 21 million and after the loss of some it was predicted that the value reduced to 18 million out of which only 4 million are still to be mined out but its demand is increasing too much.
It will retouch the sky while ETH is going to take a lot of time. Other than these two, monero, waves and ltc have some potential.
106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Digital money is cashless society on: May 24, 2018, 10:50:26 AM
What is money used for? It is a tool for trading with a standard set of pricing, so that it would be easier to measure the items being exchanged. Money is basically just printed these days. It can be printed anytime at whatever quantities that please the banks. However, commodities are actual goods. Commodities cannot just be printed as money. You can't print fish, cotton, or coffee. However there can be a surplus of a commodity, which causes prices of the commodity to go down, and a shortage which causes prices to rise. But as far as inflation goes, I would say there is none when it comes to commodities.

Everything is going digitalized, and even the "numbers" that we have in our bank accounts does not represent anything rather than just number and those numbers can be converted in cash if we need but we can't get all our money in cash because of the limits that banks have to withdraw daily/monthly/weekly.
Bitcoin is good because there is no limit if you have lots of money then you are lucky because you save bank fees a lot and the transaction time are faster especially comparing with weekends or holidays.
107  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Banknotes on: May 16, 2018, 09:30:50 AM
Great idea but not really that feasible with the logistics and architecture to be put in place for acceptance (at an early stage of course if idea takes off). But seems ironic we are try to rid the world of physical cash in our communities - but yet adding plastic cards, be it all very clever they are too. Saying that, it is a good look upon the general uptake and adoption of Bitcoin, and maybe some of these cards will find their way into the hands of new people, who have only maybe heard about this magic internet money.. One question is, say if I have a 0.01 Bitcoin card gifted to me; I then go on to buy a coffee at the local coffee house, where does the change go?

The application that they use says that it will erase the whole banknote or just a part of it based on the amount of purchase, but I haven't seen if these banknotes can be refilled, if it is used only once then I think it will be useless and will be too costly for the company to produce every time new banknotes.
108  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: decentralization of crypto - % of money supply held by top 100 wallets on: May 15, 2018, 03:10:58 PM
I have just discovered this website today

https://arewedecentralizedyet.com/

This website shows the % of money supply held by top 100 accounts of those coins, which are the top in coinmarketcap.
Ripple's centralization is ridiculous, let's just ignore it.
According to this data, bitcoin is still the most decentralized cryptocurrency. Could be better, but we are on our way!

35% of ethereum tokens are on top100 address. Is PoS really a good idea?? Maybe Ethereum still needs to mature some more time to distribute these coins?

Leave others and check the Stellar, 95% of all stellar supply is held by top 100 accounts, what decentralization are we talking about?
I know that Stellar was created by a founder/team member of Ripple and pretty much acts like a copy of Ripple and I have noticed that every time the Ripple price gets pumped or dumped then right after that Stellar is affected directly by Ripple so It's not good to have two tokens with same behavior, but who cares if they are becoming richer and richer every month.
109  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: can I make 100$ in 2-3 month without a base money? on: May 15, 2018, 02:51:00 PM
If I have 0$ at the moment can I make 100$ in 2 or 3 months? How?
What if I deposited 20$ .. Can I make them 100$ in less time?


You should have a base somewhere, you or will invest some money, or you will do something for some money, or you will join the bounty programs and do some tasks in order to get some tokens.
After you get a base (some money) then you should create accounts in the exchanges and start trading, it may sound strange but with a small amounts don't expect to become rich immediately.
But after a while you will notice that your wallet/total balance will start increasing or decreasing based on the performance and based on the market flow.
110  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: bitcoin web wallet like myetherwallet ? on: May 15, 2018, 02:30:45 PM
There are quite a few web wallets for bitcoin. Here are the web wallets which the official website recommends - https://bitcoin.org/en/wallets/web/

 all of this look like centralize wallet or a security wallet for bitcoin, it's not really like myetherwallet, i mean i want a bitcoin webwallet which simulating my local wallet to a web wallet platform, then i can use my original addresses to receiving btc, sending btc, import/ export private key,... like local wallet then i can backup with all new addresses im created/imported from web wallet to my local wallet. In summary, i mean i want to find a bitcoin web wallet which same with my local wallet or they are one, the only difference point is web platform and application platform.

On the bitcoin.org/en/wallets/web it is not showing all online/web wallets and many are missing, but I would suggest to take a look at blockchain.info and some others.
Coinbase is also not bad you can use it on website but also when you are on-the-go traveling or something else where you can't have access in PC or any other devices then using a phone/mobile client is good and Coinbase does offer such a service but there are many cons as they don't give you the opportunity to own 100% the address, earning from forks (except BCH) and signing messages.
111  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: KYC of bounty hunters on: May 15, 2018, 02:07:05 PM
Bounty programs are asking bounty hunters to do KYC before they are paid for work done . What do you think of this development.
I do not think this procedure is necessary for bounty hunters. For as long as they do their job right, they are worthy of being paid without any hassle. Thus, bounty managers must clearly inform or state in their rules if they are going to impose KYC. But as I said above, it is not important so they better not impose it.

There are some levels for the KYC, some are just requiring the email address to verify (don't ask me how I've seen in the Byteball front page) then verifying only the first and last name.
Then there next steps to verify the address, country... and I think this can only be done through government documents and utility bills to show them the scanned documents.
But in overall this KYC wasn't before for the bounty hunters and to be honest I don't like this, maybe through KYC they can identify the duplicate accounts that are joining bounty.
112  Economy / Marketplace / Re: LOOKING TO INVEST MY LIFE SAVINGS NEED ADVICE on: May 15, 2018, 01:36:18 PM
Making big bets in crypto like that is a big no. You could invest your life savings if you will only allot a 20% - 30% of it because it's still safe and remember that it's your life savings, so you should have some money in case of emergency.

Finding the right asset to invest in too is really not an easy thing to do. You really have to get lucky at some point to be able to invest in a currency that ends up getting pumped even more than you expect after holding for a long time. It is surely always good to diversify, but one should always be careful in this case as well as not all altcoins are worth diversifying into and you cannot really tell the future of any altcoin unless you just want to play safe by investing in bitcoin and any other top crypto.
113  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: All Alt Coins are a scam. on: May 15, 2018, 01:11:41 PM
It's prematurely to brand name these altcoins as fraudulence or rip-off due to the fact that Bitcoin throughout its beginning was labelled as rip-off too. Certainly, these are simply computed assumptions or must I claim point of views to which every crypto holder/user is qualified to. Nevertheless, allow us not follow suit which is exactly what a wise capitalist needs to do. In times like these, this is a great possibility to hoard several of these coins coz we never ever understand when will certainly bitcoin surge once more. When it comes to currently, allow's all be vigilant with our coins.

Most of them may be but they are not some of them.
I was into ripple too before the year of 2017 end, I thought it was a fine investment and the people are into it, but after coinbase rejected ripple on their wallet the market goes wild and holders started to panic and sold their tokens. that was the time that i decided to get out of ripple and try to have other alternative coins. Ripple is a bank base project which crypto community are not really into it but just on its hype.
114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: FAKE ICOs Bounties. What to do? on: May 15, 2018, 12:50:17 PM
I am a newbie just trying to grow on this platform. Within a week of participating in altcoin bounties, 2 bounties I participated in have been reported as Scammers. I get a lot of reads on my articles and Social media pages. I cannot keep encouraging people to invest in these altcoins if they would eventually get scammed. How can new bounty hunters like myself differentiate between a genuine bounty and scammers bounty?

Before joining the bounty you can see the level and trust of the bounty manager, and the higher level is more persuasive.

We also need to look at his website or social media white paper.

Some signs that the bounty is fake is when the team behind the ICO is not popular for the crypto world, they are not known of they look like fake profile, fake linkedIn, fake experience described etc.
115  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is no doubt that bitcioin will be replaced by another cryptocurrency on: May 15, 2018, 12:18:39 PM
I had previously doubted that Bitcoin would be replaced by another currency. But my mind has changed. Because I see there are many other cryptocurrencies that the developers are trying hard to solve the problems in cryptocurrencies.  What about bitcoin? We don't know who are the developers and no effort is being made to develop it.
If you don't try hard, your rivals will win. Bitcoin's rivals will win too.

Mention us some details why will other cryptocurrencies replace bitcoin without any doubt, what has changed your mind so far?
Bitcoin maybe is not being used like before so often as the focus has been turned on to other altcoins which are taking all our attention with their ICOs, with their products linked to their tokens and so on, the ethereum network is really too much used and their are reaching their goal being the first one.
116  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are you all in when trading? on: May 15, 2018, 10:57:33 AM
This would produce the most gains , but if you predict wrong you could be stuck waiting for the price to either come back up or down to get back in. I did this the other day. I sold and bought back in at what I had predicted was going to be the next upswing. However some last second sellers swooped in and dropped the price below my limit. Then it just continued to fall from there. Now I sit and wait for the price to come back up to my purchase price so I can get back at it. I hate waiting. I get antsy. I should have left some money in reserve so I could have at least bought in at the bottom. I got greedy. Now I wait.  Sad

You see, being greedy does not give you anything but loss and pain. But take it easy, mate. That might have given you the bitter taste of frustration but there was such a golden and precious lesson you have gained from it. Making all in investment is not the better road to take. That might lead you to forced waiting just like what you are going through right now. The next time around, divide your investments.

The more time passes the more experience we make and hopefully we learn from mistakes that we make in the past or we are doing but to be honest I don't go all full in.
Trading with almost everything you have is too dangerous as it can bring you lost of profit or lots of stress, loss, impatience and many other bad things which are not good for health.
When trading I would suggest to start with small amounts and keep increasing it to a limit that you think is enough.
117  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Satoshi is dead,If not where is he now on: May 15, 2018, 07:46:26 AM
Is Satoshi is dead,If not where is he now and what is he doing right now..Bitcoin price is down sharply. Can he do something?

I think that satoshi is just hiding somewhere because most of the developers of an ico will look for him and ask how to create bitcoins on the block chain so i think that, that's the reason why he's hiding.
Exactly satoshi is alive he is not dead and it is not good to revile his identity because he has made something really huge and profitable so if he will be in eyes of people they will try to trace him, follow him and take away his money, showing his identify can increase risk fir his life so better if he is unknown to us, as he has done his job for us, he invented bitcoin for us now we should enjoy bitcoin earning.

All the world has the eyes to the Satoshi to the richest people in the planet.
Satoshi has so many reasons why he didn't reveal his identity as he is holding a lot of bitcoin now and it will be a risk on his security (hi know that bitcoin will be a big bang).
So if someone claims to be a brother or friend of Satoshi Nakamoto that is a member of any team doing an ICO I'm sure it's just a hype or even a scam.
118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tether: not even a scam on: May 10, 2018, 12:56:29 PM
Just noticed they created another 130 million. Lol this shit keeps getting funnier the closer it gets to D-day. Smiley

Whats going to be even funnier is when all the fools are crying they had no idea it was coming. Smiley

https://www.omniexplorer.info/address/1NTMakcgVwQpMdGxRQnFKyb3G1FAJysSfz

I don't have any experience with tether but if they created 130m by that day then they created $310m more in the past few days.
From the coinmarketcap charts there is a high directly increase of market cap in the past 30 days then today there is a huge drop, does this mean they are creating new coins out of nothing?
From the reply you made I said that USDT is being considered like crypto USD but that doesn't mean it is 100% safe.
119  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where do you find interesting ICO ? on: May 09, 2018, 02:49:11 PM
I see an interesting ICO here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0
The name of the ICO was XYO-Decentralized Crypto-Location Oracle Network.
This is the hottest new coin based on coinmarket. You can check it out when you try to search in the google "coinmarketcap".

I mostly see the new ICOs from the ads that usually are in the forum ad, website ad, articles, retweets, ico-alerts website which lists the new ICO and some of them review them, and if the review is good it motivates me to invest? no, it motivates me to start reading and researching about that project, checking their whitepaper, roadmap, what are the team members behind the project, what experience do they have and are they trusted if they are known for the public. Some people may hate the signatures in the forum but to be honest it helps spreading the word of a project and I do click in signatures if I see something interesting.
120  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: 🚀[Ann][ICO] NICEBYTES-a token that brings satisfaction🚀 on: May 09, 2018, 02:30:14 PM
I received Today/Last night some Nicebytes in my byteball wallet and wondered what are these NiceBytes that I have never heard about.
After a while after searching about the NBT I found this thread and the website, I watched also the video and it seems nice
I have a question, how can I get the most of NTB, I really want to have lots of coins and want to get most of it, how?

Only the first Airdrop distributed Nicebytes among Gbyte holders with balance above 1Gbyte. All following airdrops which will starts from May 8  would distribute tokens to Nicebytes holders only (no need for registration, just keep NBT in your wallet). In case you want to get extra NiceBytes you can buy some using NBT Bot on Byteball.


That's true I received the NiceBytes because that I have more than 1 GByte in my wallet, I received also a transaction last day i think and I think it is from the airdrop right?
Now how many NBT token will i receive, every 24 hour is the airdrop (the next one is in the next 35min), I will hold these for a long time, thank you.
