1001  Economy / Economics / Re: The Mysterious Chinese Bitcoin Whale Hoarded 94,000 BTC on: July 02, 2018, 09:54:55 AM
A staff member from a Chinese Bitcoin forum raised eyebrows upon the discovery of a wallet address that has received over 90,000 Bitcoin since the end of March

I mean i really find it hard to believe that one person could actually hold that much amount of bitcoin, since the blockchain network is technically anonymous there is no way to find out whether this wallet belongs to one person or an exchange website for example, and they say that the BTC came from tow different exchanges, means probably they are using tow address and this one as a backup, because there is no way that one person could get that amount just from exchange.
1002  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: $300 million transferred for 4 cents in fees! on: July 01, 2018, 11:15:14 PM
Have a look at this transaction: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/39afcad6c4d0713ed291014315c4dcf2d81334275218c28fd354af45b7395c61.

$300 million transferred, fees of $0.04, confirmation in 4 minutes.

Now imagine the hoops you would have to jump through to transfer $300 million in fiat, the days of delays, the fees, the people you would have to discuss it with first, etc.
I mean at this point i am surprised it has not been adapted yet, with bitcoin we can send and receive money instantly with low fees which is an option that every investor and oversea business dream off, if only they would accept it the whole world will advance and all the financial problems will improve, but i guess adopting it does not serve the benefits of people who have the power, but hopefully one day we will be able to see it accepted and  being used internationally.
1003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you find Success in Gambling? on: July 01, 2018, 11:14:04 AM
There's no success in gambling. You just got lucky in a a very short time and then lose afterwards. I have lost alot many times in gambling and until now I still gamble a few times but i dont bet big amount, it's just like gambling for fun, I dont want to be broke just by losing all my money in gambling.

Being lucky itself means to people being successful. Because not every one can be lucky and if you are lucky then mostly success will be near or with you and you can easily achieve money, fame, name etc. In gambling as well you require the luck with you to be successful in making the bet win.

It is true that you need to be luck to be able to be successful in gambling, but also you need to be smart and have self control so you won't lose, if you make a bet and you lose once and twice in a row you don't need to keep going, there is no need to multiply your bet in order to compensate for you loses, just call it a day and leave, because successful people are not just winners they are also the ones that pick their fights and know when to quit.
1004  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: crypto currency ban in india on: June 28, 2018, 09:51:46 PM
hi......... if in case of crypto currency exchange or use of currency  has banned by RBI in india  means what is the further steps to withdraw the crypto currency 
Obviously I am in no means trying to encourage you in doing this, but if my country bans crypto exchange, I would first use a VPN to exchange my coins into bitcoin through an exchange site and than sell bitcoin on one of the peer to peer exchange like localbitcoin, it would be safer to sell via moneygram or western union, I know that might not be the best option and you might lose some on exchange fees but it is an option.
1005  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to take the risk in trading? on: June 28, 2018, 09:16:03 PM
Hello fellas.
I am interested in trading and want to know more about it.I read somewhere in this forum that being a trader is very risky.
You as a trader, how did you face the risk in trading in order to lessen the possibility?
As a trader sometimes you have to stick to some of the decisions that you make, some like putting your money into a coin and than its value goes down and many people say that you should sell, risks like getting a bit greedy when you see the price going up and you keep waiting for a bit more profit, I think that many people take trading for rocket science when it is not, you should ask people for advice at first to get the baisics and then just experience it on your own,  develop your own ideas and make your own decisions and stick to them and that is how you take the risk and that is how you learn.
1006  Economy / Speculation / Re: What's your plan? on: June 28, 2018, 08:38:13 PM
Alright now, CRYPTOS running some!! Time to check your emotions, feelings, and mental toughness.

Get your plan together, are you going to hold, swing trade, or get back to even and say screw it I'm out??
Seeing how all the cryptocurrencies have been going down and how events have been influencing the flow of the market, I decided to take all my investments in altcoins and put them in the one thing that I trust, and that is bitcoin, bitcoin might be going down for the last couple of months, but it is no where to being done and it is the only currency that no matter how low or how long it takes it will always rise up again.
1007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Really! Where is the fun at? on: June 28, 2018, 08:31:05 PM
It is true that real life casinos are more fun and you can talk to people and get to known the face to face, but that is a thing that not all people could do, some people can't traval miles to good casinos to gamble, some online gambling sites have chat rooms forums and discord chanells where you can talk to people, I know that does not sound fun but through them you could know people and even meet them online, one of my best friends I got to know them from a chat room.
1008  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Altcoins going to rock in this year ! on: June 28, 2018, 08:11:21 PM
Altcoins can differ from Bitcoin in a range of ways. Some have a different economic model or a different coin-distribution method, like altcoins that were given away to all citizens of a country. Others employ different proof-of-work mining algorithms, perhaps to resist specialized mining hardware — or maybe they don’t even rely on proof of work at all. Several altcoins offer a more versatile programming language to build applications on top of, while yet others offer more privacy compared to Bitcoin. And there are also altcoins that serve very specific, non-monetary use cases, like domain name registry or data storage pointers.
If you asked me a month ago i would say yes, but right now and after all this time and seeing how the market has been going down hill and how much bad news has been thrown at it, it makes me think that this is not the year for the cryptocurrency, ever since ICO have became a popular thing back in December 2017 a lot of shit coins have been entering the market with no actual purpose other than taking advantage and making profit from users and i think a lot of people realized that and that is why the market is slow, so until something new comes out the market is going to stay the way it is .
1009  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Time for that Long? on: June 28, 2018, 03:03:24 PM
We dipped below 6k on the weekend. What do you guys think, is it a bottom this time and it is time for epic Long?

Personally I felt like it was the bottom at 8k at 7k and multiple times already at 6.7k and at 6.2k, so I am wary about calling it a bottom again just to see it drop another 500   Lips sealed
I am not trying to be negative or anything but i think that the price is going to go down and up around the 6k range the whole year, because it has been 6 months and we haven't seen any thing that is promising about it , it has been going down hill for a long time and unless a miracle or a big news comes in changes the course of where bitcoin is heading i am afraid that things are going to stay this way.
1010  Economy / Economics / Re: Tax on the crypto currency! What do you think? on: June 28, 2018, 02:31:02 PM
The only way that i will accepted taxation on crypto is that if they let us use it freely, if governments and various points of interest start accepting crypto as a payment method but taxes in return than that would not be so bad, because if you think about it right now people who are using crypto to make profit probably make more than a person with a regular job who wakes up every morning to go to work while they sit in their home and watch their balance rise, and they don't have to pay the taxes on income because technically it is not a job, that seems kind of unfair, and that is in my opinion one of the controversial things about cryptocurrency and it is making accepting it a difficult decision because even with taxes people could escape that because government can't track them down because cryptocurrency is anonymous and can't be controlled.
1011  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How does the supremacy of bitcoin affect altcoins? on: June 28, 2018, 01:48:27 PM
Bitcoin is the King of all cryptocurrencies hence it has altcoins such as ETH, LTC, DASH etc. as its followers\s but i get a litte confuse how bitcoin's supremacy tends to dictate the price rates of most altcoins.
Almost anyone who is involved in cryptocurrency is just always working to get more and more bitcoin, because they know that it is relevant and they know that it will never die because it has many people behind it unlike altcoins which are made only for making quick and small profit and they are risky to invest in because they could go down at any moment, and that is why you see anyone who has any investment in altcoin always exchanging them to bitcoin because when the market goes down it is safer for people to put their money on bitcoin which they can always trust to go back rather than letting them sit on a altcoin that might stay down or perish.
1012  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A Guild based system by an ICO???? on: June 28, 2018, 11:05:34 AM
Hello guys, I've come across with this website. www.menlo.one

Everything seems usual, but what caught my attention is their guild based system, they so called "Expert Guild Network". Can this really be a good thing for new upcoming ICO's?

And could this system work?

In the overview video that they have on the website they said that the guild system is a proof of reputation, meaning that it is where anyone can give his opinion about different transaction, process that he went through in their website whether it is good or not, i personally think that this is something that is in between, because review and what people say can be censored they have the ability to remove bad reviews, but if this is legit and they won't do that than i think it will be a great idea.
1013  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are you trading on? on: June 27, 2018, 09:16:32 PM
What are you guys trading on the most?

Anyone using the Bitcoin to trade stocks like 1Broker? Or mostly trading BTC markets? Or Altcoins?
I think that there are tow types of people here, ones that want to be safe or they don't have the time to look at how the market is moving 24/7 these people will defiantly be more into trading bitcoin because its price does not move as much, and people who want to risk it or don't have a big cap to invest in bitcoin so they trade altcoins which their value is constantly changing, i personally trade a bit of both, obviously Bitcoin is always a good asset to trade and also when i see an interesting and a promising altcoin i usually trade it as well.
1014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is best practice for gambling?? on: June 27, 2018, 07:00:13 PM
May anyone tell me what is the best practice for gambling with little investment? I have no so much experiance about it.Any suggestion or advice.
There are a lot of dice sites out there that give you a couple of bits for free sites like freebitco.in kind of like a faucet, just to try your luck and get a feel of what gambling is like, but don't expect to win anything as the amount that they give ends up quickly, but if you are looking for a more serious and games like blackjack and poker, than i think there are plenty of gambling sites that let you play without spending any money just so you can practice and if you like it you put your money into them.
1015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Good time to invest in an ICO? on: June 27, 2018, 06:27:18 PM
Many ICOs have their token sold at a fixed price vs. the ETH. For example: 1 ETH = 1000 Tokens.

So does it really matter if the prices of ETH/BTC is dropping?

If anything, then buying now you get more Tokens for the $, right?
You said that they have their price fixed vs the ETH and that 1 ETH=1000 token that means that even if the price of the ethereum drops you still will get 1000 token for 1 ethereum no matter what the price is, means that investing now  when the price is low and investing later when the price goes up is the same thing, because you are always paying 1 ethereum for the same amount of token.
1016  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What should I learn to be a professional trader? on: June 27, 2018, 06:07:19 PM
I want to learn about being professional trader. I want to search and read some articles but I don't know whatelse.
What I read so far is about how to read candlestick. And I learn how to read indicator but I just learn it by myself.
So what articles to read? If you have some suggestion, please share here. I don't ask for the articles to read, I just ask for some clue what to learn
You don't just become a professional trader by just searching online and trying to do what others do, that is just what you do to learn the basics of trading and to know what are the best coins to trade at the moment, to become a professional trader takes time and a lot of trial and error, you need to be able to develop a sense and a feel for the market, and adapt to all the situations, and that comes from trying it yourself and developing your own strategies and not just by reading about it.
1017  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC will not perish on: June 27, 2018, 02:19:16 PM
Bitcoin is too resilient to perish though there are fluctuations in the prices on the market. Market will soon stabilize in no time.Do you believe that?
Bitcoin has already established a strong foothold in this market a long time ago by being the first cryptocurrency that was created and used, and its popularity its limited supply and its high popularity makes it the only cryptocurrency that will never die, similar to how the gold works nowadays, people used to use it for trades and as a currency, but after being replaced by fiat it is still considered one of the most popular way to invest and store money.
1018  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to HODL or not ? on: June 27, 2018, 01:43:43 PM
I had bought some bitcoins in late December when price was around $10K. I had put all of it to trade on some altcoins to get good returns. Now, I'm all in on Bitcoin Gold, I bought it at $110 which is down to around $26. Shall I wait for another bubble to build up or sell what I'm remaining with ?
Bitcoin gold is just an attempt to get profit of the name of bitcoin, it was a project that was over hyped by many people and it turned out to be a big disappointment, so investing in it or just holding is not really the brightest idea, so what i suggest you do is go ahead and exchange what you have from bitcoin into a good ICO token hold it for a while until you get a sizable amount of profit from it than reinvest that money in bitcoin, because bitcoin will always be the best and the safest investment in my opinion
1019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can maths help you win in gambling ? on: June 27, 2018, 01:02:49 PM
I just read one article that's about math can help you win at roulette game then i want ask with you all, did you believe math can affect to gambling games? i'm not expert in math so i don't know


this is the article that i readed.
http://theconversation.com/can-maths-help-you-win-at-roulette-69440

I do believe that mathematics help affect gambling games. One of the reason is the computations of betting and the winnings. If math does not exist in gambling then gamblers will find it hard to compute their moves and their winnings.
I want to know that why you believe that having some knowledge of mathematics help a person in gambling games. However I can prove you wrong because if math was of some importance in gambling then the people having a sound knowledge of math would have won every single game they play but here in reality the case is totally different as they still are losing.

Mathematics can help you analyze your game and even determine amounts that are right for you to gamble per every game and what you could expect to win but mathematics will not contribute to your winning in any way because most gambling games out there aren't based on logic and mathematics is limited where there is no logic.
No man I don’t think the same in this regard because analyzing the game depends on your skills that you get from your past gambling but not from the Math that you have learned in your school or intermediate. For me, math can only help you by doing a favor to you when you sit free for some time and want to calculate your wins and losses in gambling.
I highly disagree, because gambling is constantly changing one can't be facing the same condition and having the same rounds multiple time, even if you are an experienced gambler that had played thousands of games you can't just win every time because of your skill, and math can only help in certain types of games like counting in blackjack, and even if you do the math there is always the factor of luck, because many people that had 1% chance of wining won and people with 99% chance to win lost.
1020  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How much do you invest in an ICO? on: June 26, 2018, 09:42:17 PM
I know that the answer depends on the project, how much you believe in it, and how much you have to spend.

But I am looking for data about an average ICO investor... are people investing tiny amount in as many projects? or more sizeable amounts?

For example, lets take a $40m ICO, what do you think the average investor puts?  $10? $100? $1000? 5,000? more?

Edit: many of the answers were, whether one should invest in an ICO at all. My question was intended to understand more specifically what's the average person place nowadays in an ICO, IF they participate. I am interested in data, about a typical average ICO investment, not whether anyone should or shouldn't invest in an ICO.
I personally i don't invest more than 100$ into an ICO, i know that is not much but i really wanna be safe than sorry, i think that the ICO investment scene is still not in the state to be fully trusted because of how the market is full of many scammers that not only make false projects but also make false promises on to improve or create a revolutionary way to pay for thing that gets over hyped and soon people lose interest in it and goes down.
