Is it better to hodl
 btc or invest it in other crypto like bitcoingold or bitcoincash or bit connect and others? Where will you profit more?

Bitcoin for me is the most reliable investment out of all the cryptocurrencies out there even though it already have a huge price that if you invest now you will wait sometime to make it double, if you will compare it to the BTG and BCH that has a low value right that if its possible to grow like what Bitcoin did then I don't think that they can do what the original does because they are copy cats.

103  Economy / Economics / Re: will next decade be the bitcoin era ?? on: November 22, 2017, 05:38:41 PM
As by seeing the usage graph and profiting graph i can easily assume that in next decade of 2020 people will mainly relay on bitcoin and the main thing to survive in the next era will be bitcoin and it will be frequently used by everyone and that will help many regions to boost their economy as well so hope for the best, many people are eagerly waiting for the btc system to be implemented.


It is true that Bitcoin's price now is so huge that caught the attention of almost all the people in the world that uses the Internet and if the price of it will still continue to the next years and decade then Bitcoin will become a 'Big thing' in the future.

People can still survive without Bitcoin though, maybe you mean that it will be a mainstream that almost people will have a Bitcoin or a fraction of it by the next decade. Bitcoin system was already implemented since it was created it is just that the economic theory of supply and demand are now happening with it.

104  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Coinbase vs Blockchain on: November 22, 2017, 05:08:59 PM
Coinbase and Blochchain.info are both good online wallets that offers a good service to its users and they are safe to store your Bitcoins, for me, Blockchain does have more security features compare to Coinbase. The downside of Coinbase is that it takes transactions to be verified first sometimes. I once used Blockchain.info and it always changes your Bitcoin addresses automatically in each transaction that you made that Coinbase doesn't.

I also read through a selection of your posts and they seem alright to me, but what do I know? I think this could possibly be an error. Hopefully an admin sees this and unbans you. Good luck.
The admin had seen it, Cyrus (backread), and he alsp don't know yet he can't just unban the account but rather wait for the mod who banned it to show up and explain why.

So there's nothing I can do now?
If the mod doesn't show up, my account will remain banned forever?

Of course there is nothing that you can do with your main account for now as it is ban as of the moment but Cyrus already reply to your post and seen your commotion so I think you will be fine if you will just follow the steps and process in retrieving your main account, I know that it feels frustrating so just calm and comply with your appeal.
106  Other / Off-topic / Re: Guess what would be the price of a BTC on Jan 1st 2018 00:01 EST on: November 22, 2017, 04:46:47 PM
Opening a thread to see what are people's forecast for BTC price at the start of the New Year.
With some reasoning off-course. No 'if' or 'But' though.

I'm not a promoter or advertiser for BTC or any other coin/token (at least not yet).

There is no person that came from the future so no one will know what will happen next in the market of Bitcoin so not using the 'If' and 'But' word will make me a wanna be time traveler, so let's just try to cancel that words though. Even some professional traders out there are not so sure and winning on a 100% chance every time.

In case Bitcoin's price will continue go linear to what it has been this fast few months then it will reach the $10,000 mark before the year ends or even more higher than that because this last month it increased by more than $2,000 so the probability of it to go up is high.

Hello, new here.

This forum seems like a very confusing , but interesting place. Lotīs of spam. So many sellers of...things.

But I am sure there is also alot of useful information here.

Any tips how to navigate in this place? Where should I start?

Cheers.

All of the Category here in the forum has Section and its own Sub-sections, for me it is easy to understand when you spend much more time in the forum so maybe you just new into this things so you are on an adjusting period because I once like that when I was a newbie in this forum and it is normal.

If you don't understand it well or getting confuse to it then explore each every Sub-sections in this forum so you will be get familiar with it uses overtime, it doesn't look like a mess for me though.
108  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-11-20] Bitfinex struggles with money withdrawal on: November 20, 2017, 11:11:59 AM
We can't blame the people who are using Bitfinex as their trading exchange starting to deteriorate as the people are losing faith with them because they can't even answer clearly the accusations to what was the issue is all about between them and Tether.

It will be a make or break for Bitfinex if they can't answer this as soon as possible and will keep on denying this or just accept the fact that they were wronged and make a better move for their regular users and to their future also because they are now compared to what happen to Mt.Gox 3 years ago.
109  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin broke 8000 USD. how far it will go? on: November 20, 2017, 06:03:37 AM
Today bitcoin price reaches above 8000

This is a new high, what do we expect to reach next? 9,000 or 10,000?

Is there be another bitcoin price correction at 9,000 or 10,000

Altcoins are going down again. No much growth from there

Bitcoin reaches the price of $8,000 per coin because I believe people who tend to panic sell and move to Bitcoin Cash that resulted to the price of Bitcoin to go down to less than $6,000 realizes that it is a wrong move so they suddenly goes back to Bitcoin again and the fact that the developers of Bitcoin also did a thing about transactions on Lightning to Charlie Lee the creator of Litecoin is a good move that regains the trust of the community and the people who is investing with Bitcoin.

110  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Battle between bitcoin and bitcoin cash on: November 20, 2017, 05:10:48 AM
Bitcoin Cash is the only one who battles Bitcoin though, Bitcoin will never battle Bitcoin Cash I think because it is only a copy cat that wants the place of the original.

Bitcoin's price is not a straight to the moon thing and so other cryptocurrencies out there so falling down a little bit is not an issue after all and $7,500 is still good and high value though compare to that Bitcoin Cash's $1,000+ that also reaches $2,300+ price last week then suddenly goes down with only less than an hour that is obviously a pump and dump, so which coin does whales making profit from?
111  Economy / Services / Re: 🔥🔥 P2PSF Signature Campaign [OPEN] 🔥🔥 on: November 19, 2017, 01:50:27 AM
reserved

Reading the ANN and other articles about P2PSF before applying but just wondering is the  0.001BTC payment correct ? I mean the fees would be about the payout It feels like it should be 0.01 per week

It is clear and true that it only pays out 0.001 BTC per week I think the P2PSF campaign manager chose to add a Bitcoin payment for them to post an eligible thread in this section without breaking any signature campaign guidelines, the value of payout per week of P2Ps is competitive though compare to other pure Bitcoin paying Sig. campaigns.
112  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Why the Tether / Bitfinex thing will be OK? on: November 19, 2017, 01:33:55 AM
Money makes the world go round.

People who uses Bitcoin for a long term now knew what happened in Mt. Gox before and Bitfinex is an another kind of exchange that is now linked up with Tether Bank, we all know that Bitcoin exchanges are centralized though so it means someone is taking in charge with it.

I read that both Bitfinex and Tether are banking and operating under the same jurisdiction that made them more shady plus they are showing an almost the same moves that people obviously sees and feels like for example of you can't withdraw USD from Bitfinex and at the same time with Tether.
113  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My Bitcoin journey on: November 19, 2017, 12:17:06 AM
It seems that you are a very skeptical kind of a person because all you do before are to watched the scene of Bitcoin instead of trying to start investing with it I can't blame you though as many people are like you and I once like that when I am starting my early stage with it.

Blockchain.info and Coinbase is an exchange for Bitcoin that can considered also an online wallet so you will not be holding your private keys there and you are entrusting your Bitcoins to them if you start investing, if you want you can install a desktop/software wallet to your computer like Bitcoin Core, Electrum, etc. as you will hold your very own private keys, I am using Electrum wallet since I started using Bitcoin though and I recommend it also because it is convenient to use for me.
114  Economy / Speculation / Re: Did Bitcoin price rise that fast because of ICO's / Forks? on: November 18, 2017, 11:52:12 PM
Did Bitcoin price rise that fast because of ICO's
and Forks?

Yes of course it is one of the reason why the Bitcoin's price increased in the past year because with the ICO's that occur that made different kind of advertisement online to get some investments for the people in the internet that for me affects also the publicity for Bitcoin as it is the most valued cryptocurrency. Forks have also a big part of the growth of Bitcoin as it offers a free coin for the Split so people will be attracted to invest to it in expecting that they will get an equivalent value of their Bitcoin to a newly Fork coin.
115  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you fully secure your BTCs? on: November 18, 2017, 11:37:59 PM
How do you make your Blockchain.info accounts fully secure if you want to do a long-term investment in BTC?

Possible risks I think that could happen:
1. Big hack and you lose your coins. E.g, Mt.gox a few years ago.
2. Government seizure and you lose your coins. E.g, BTC-e a few months ago.
3. Small hack and you lose your coins. E.g, someone somehow hacks your wallet.

There may be other risks too that I can't think of right now.

So, how do you guys make absolutely sure that your coins are 100% safe?
Would love to know the steps you take to guarantee your coins' safety - esp if you have Blockchain.info wallet.

Thanks!

It seems that you answered your own question though so what is the point of a long term investment of your BTC with Blockchain.info if you can do it in a desktop wallet or hardware wallet that you have the own right to preserve your private keys to avoid the possible risks that you think may happen.

It is much better to have your own wallet that have your own private keys because it is a must and so easy to make, you can say that your wallet is 100% safe if you know to yourself that follow the guidelines in securing like never store the important seeds and private keys online or in your desktop, Bitcoin was never been hack though it is just only the exchanges of Bitcoin that is centralize by people who made it.
116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you do if??? on: November 18, 2017, 11:19:27 PM
Lets say a hypothetical you have 1btc in your hardware wallet today worth around 8000 and lets just say tmrw the price is now 8 million. You literally never have to work another day again in your life. What would you do??

Me: I'd buy some land in a subtropical environment start a garden and just stare at the sky all damn day....

I really don't think that it will happen in an instant but it is hypothetical though, if it will happen to me one day I will surely be so happy that I got rich because of it but one thing is for sure I will use it as an investment for my cryptocurrency mining rigs because many people nowadays got their easy moneys but doesn't know where to put it so eventually they will lose their fortune for several years.

I will still work though if ever I will be rich because we need to move or at least help other people that is less fortunate in having a good life, being rich doesn't mean you will stop your life to what it is before.
117  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you believe Bitcoin is unstoppable? on: November 18, 2017, 10:58:53 PM
is bitcoin possible to stay forever

Nothing is permanent in this world if you think it logically maybe Bitcoin will not last forever but I don't see a reason for now that it will be gone soon or it will be remove by anything, paper moneys are once created by someone or group of people that agrees that it must have a value when trading for goods and services of a civilization and it last for more than a thousands of years now but again there is no 100% guaranteed that it will be forever.

As we entering a new era of our world now that almost all of the businesses and necessities are getting into digital world now for more convenient way of living, money is not and exemption so that's why I think Bitcoin was created for people to use it anywhere and anytime in the world.
118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 1.7 Trillion USD - and a question for bitcoin investors on: November 18, 2017, 10:50:27 PM
In the span of just a few months in 2000 the internet bubble burst and 280 companies lost 1.7 trillion USD in value. That is 13 times more than the entire market cap of Bitcoin (!). 13 times all of bitcoin in the world lost for comparison.

Almost a third of them lost more than 90% of their valuation. That means Bitcoin can easily go from 7700 USD now to 770 USD very quickly.

It is only now in 2017 - 17 years later - that the NASDAQ has regained what was lost in year 2000.

For all you bitcoin investors - would you be happy with seeing 90% of your value lost now, and then have to wait 17 years just to get back to where you are now?

Or is it time to cash in before it is too late?

http://money.cnn.com/2000/11/09/technology/overview/


You have a point there though but for me it is only just a comparison to what happen to other thing way back in 2000 and it is pure speculation that it may happen to Bitcoin even it is a whole different kind of thing, Bitcoin is a digital currency while Internet is not but maybe it may happen and maybe not.

One aspect that I believe with Bitcoin is it got a limited supply of coins compare to that Internet bubble that everyone can duplicate someone else's website and ideas for their advertisement that resulted to a massive usage and adaptation that later collapsed and with that it is most likely happening to Bitcoin right now because of the Hard Fork that produces Fork coins but the good thing is it has a value that people can see which is the true and false choice.
119  Economy / Economics / Re: what is the future of Bitcoin ? on: November 18, 2017, 10:39:07 PM
According to different Statistics the Future of this virtual currency is so much brighter than others currency and people will find very easy to deal with every thing through bitcoin. some Reasons are really very fruitful for economical development such as
 1.In future buying bitcoin is more easier than past condition  ad people can complete so many task very easily.
 2.most of company use bitcoin as a local currency that helps to regulate bitcoin like regular currency and more company will interest for using this currency(bitcoin)
 3.international client are more visible if this currency will use globally.
 4.in future if government use the protocol then cyrpto-currency will protected and people feel safe for using this currency.


Well as the statistics said "virtual currency" and it doesn't mean that it will be bitcoin. No one can say directly if how will bitcoin end up, will it be successful on replacing the  current fiat currency or will another "virtual currency" that government created dominate the crypto world.

For let us just be grateful that bitcoin is on it's current place wherein it is being hailed as the most strongest crypto currency and the price keeps on going up from time to time. Everyone is gambling their investment on it because anytime governemtn might ban crypto currency while will result to a zero in value.
120  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think bitcoin ever be safe for any investment ? on: November 18, 2017, 10:32:15 PM
At present situation government actually not so much concern about such kind of currency for that  reason people are not so much interested for using this currency. it is now use as a electronic currency though computerized system.
in terms of purchase and sales bit coin holder's are safe but the  lack of proper monitoring system by implementing different protocols client are demotivated for using this currency on investment projects.Every country's government should established a policy for securing those client who are holder of bitcoin like an cash or deposit account holders and this types of policy help to motivated bitcoin holders for investing different sector for establishing new entrepreneur in order to development of economical condition.

The points that you just gave are available on trading stocks. And even in trading stocks your investments is not 100% secured you might still loss your investments.

Bitcoin's original purpose was to replace the fiat system but as of now it is being considered as an asset because not much of stores accepts it as a payment like fiat and it's price are so erratic that it can have a difference of 30% in few days. So with this percentage on changes you can consider bitcoin as a high risk high reward investment and you can do it at your own risk. but having the government regulate it? expect for a zero price after.
