Look at the sub sections of this forum, especially in the marketplace and goods/digital goods. These all qualify as small businesses. People selling small products, yes, it is a completely niche market with only small quantities produced and a small customer base, but they only accept payments in Bitcoin, and have been doing so for many years. Small businesses are ready, but only if they are ready to transition from old to new. If profit model will always be in fiat, then of course there cannot be true transition.
10182  Economy / Economics / Re: Is banking still important in the bitcoin era? on: May 07, 2018, 07:47:59 AM
of course, the bank has its own role in a country, its small example as a container for lending capital, other credits and as its, even though the development of crypto world is very rapid, but the bank has its own role, and they will not close the company, maybe later them will follow also the current development of the crypto world

true, banks is still essential today even if cryptos are soaring today, because not everything can buy and paid in bitcoin, we need banks for conversions of bitcoin to fiats in less fees, there are other purposes of banks that bitcoin cannot cater like housing loan, car loan ,business loan and salary loans, we still need banks, we can live with it up to now, we are ok with cryptos and banks co-existence.

Not really, I have never used a bank for my conversion, I either use exchanges or just peer 2 peer exchanges. It is true that I still use a bank account to receive my fiat, but if you think about it, if everyone accepted crypto, I would never need to convert to fiat anymore. It is simply a matter of time before that happens. Now you can even get crypto loans to buy cars and houses even, and get salaries in Bitcoin. Banks are forced to co exist but their days are numbered.
10183  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: HOW WILL THE WORLD CUP EFFECT CRYPTOCURRENCY? on: May 06, 2018, 04:48:27 PM
Meh. I don't think any event really has any impact on crypto. Long term happenings and situation like war, yes, economic troubles, yes, like in Venezuela. Or even political like Iran, North Korea, Syria, where bitcoiners are leading the underground charge for financial independence. The world cup is big, bigger than olympics, but hardly going to have any effect on crypto.

Maybe sport related especially football related coins will have a new rally. For example Footballcoin has so much potential but only a few players play that game. They don't have a decent market yet. They will have special games for World Cup. I'm expecting a rise for XFC price.

Yeah, I wasted my time with sports related coins in the past. Too small value, and not global enough.
10184  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Hold your ETH until cross 1k on: May 06, 2018, 02:47:50 PM
I don't think there were enough rest. I believe we won't see new ATH this year. Even though I expect ETH to fall down to finish the latest dump move I would not sell my ETH. I can't risk it to sell now to buy lower. I try to accumulate more ETH until we see the new rally.

My thoughts too. I think we needed a lot more time to consolidate, this small bullish moves are picking up steam but not sure there's enough gas in it to last the round. I did sell some of my ETH at $820 though, expecting a fallback to 750 and I can see these are close to triggering, but I'll also buy back if it moves to $800 heh. 1k is still a distance...
10185  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Battle between BTC and Other Coins? on: May 06, 2018, 01:12:30 PM
You should look it up yourself, plenty of discussions on this forum discussing that but in summary yes, the entire crypto world relies on Bitcoin. When it is healthy, alts tend to get even healthier, and when it is frail, alts get even more frail. There are short periods where alts sometimes get a huge boost against BTC, in the past normally because of demand for ICOs (ETH the favorite example here).

But make no mistake, the fate of alts ultimately relies on Bitcoin.
10186  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Biblepay (based on Dash) is looking for an Android wallet developer on: May 06, 2018, 11:47:20 AM
I strongly doubt that a crypto currency with this name will be accepted by the community. And this I'm not talking about the technical side

Not religious or anti religious here, but I'd agree very much. I mean, you immediately close off your shores to people who will associate biblepay with the obvious religion reference, why kill yourself before you start? At least Jesuscoin and was there also Messiah coin some time back? These had an immediate appeal of fun/joke/meme/scam... Then again, sometimes that kind of marketing drives interest and curiosity so what do I know?
10187  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Buying your ERC20 wallet tokens - Especially unlisted tokens!! on: May 05, 2018, 09:10:51 PM
Hi there, I think I might have one or two shitcoins I wouldn't mind selling for some liquid Ether. Your system doesn't really work for me though, would you be willing to consider using smart contract escrow to complete the trade? That way, both parties get a nice protection, we don't need to trust anyone, and we use a functionality of the Eth blockchain and smart contract.

Oh and, you want WAVES shittokens too?
10188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: DASH a sleeping Giant on: May 05, 2018, 08:52:27 PM
Actually this just made me realize that DASH is one of those coins that I felt was too late to get into when it was well above $1000, it had been on my radar for a while after originally feeling that the scandals surrounding it much earlier on was too much to look past - plus their masternode vulnerability. Have to admit I completely lost touch with it and should have bought in weeks ago but today the price is still tempting to look at considering how I felt above 1k.

Changed my mind about it a lot, can't be a bad coin to add to sit next to my Monero...
10189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: May 05, 2018, 05:01:58 PM
All premier league games gone wrong in the sense that no favourite has won so far. I doubt Everton will win either as Southampton needs a win in order to hope to avoid relegation. I wonder why the f WBA keeps winning against top teams when they are almost mathematically relegated and ruining bets of many people.
I know. They think they are Stoke City or something? Cheesy
Everton is not putting in Rooney this game so they are at a disadvantage more than ever against SouthHampton. Embarrassed
Lol Spurs.  Cheesy

West Bromwich Albion once again shocked the Premier League. Beat Manchester United at Old Trafford, draw against Liverpool and now beat Tottenham Hotspurs. West Bromwich Albion is hot late, they suffer all season but can overthrow big clubs who are fighting for the big 4.

West Bromwich is a top table killer. Don't count the Baggies out. Grin
They beat Liverpool in the FA Cup 4th round at the beginning of the year.

So does anybody think Burnley will ruin Wenger's last home game tomorrow?
It will be a complete shame if they don't win it for the old man infront of the Arsenal fans. Embarrassed

I wonder if this was a pattern before by relegation teams? If it is, I must remember to bet on bottom 3 towards end of season. I guess everyone must be feeling, oh well nothing to play for, let's just try something different. Only City don't seem to be doing anything different. But teams must realise for consistency they must always play the same way no matter what. In terms of effort anyway, that form is the hardest thing to carry forward into the new season.

West Brom fans must be feeling so weird now though.
10190  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Possibly most significant and profitable ICO ever on: May 05, 2018, 12:38:31 PM
We started our new, unique ICO on May 1st, 2018.

It will become the most significant and meaningful ICO ever, because our cryptocurrency, EASY LIFE COIN, trade code ESY offers all users an
"UNCONDITIONAL BASIC INCOME"
and "100% PURCHASE PRICE REFUNDING"
wherever, whenever, whatever they buy and and how high the price may be.

Participate in our 2 weeks pre-sale with a 50% bonus.
Its your chance 2 change now.
Registered users at our ICO OFFERING SITE: https://ico.easylifecommunity.com may - after registration and login - buy ESY directly from our site.



New, yes. Unique, absolutely not.

There have been hundreds of ICO projects that have claimed to do the exact same thing (unconditional basic income) (purchase price refunding) but they have all been marked by a few common traits. Outright scams, or eventual bankruptcy. There is no such thing as guaranteed profits. There is no such thing as life-changing guarantees. This reads more like an MLM and ponzi than anything else. What's your product? A promise. That can't be kept.
10191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: May 05, 2018, 10:50:01 AM
I have a feeling Kane will score more than 2 goals today. Now trying to find the bookie which will give me nice odds for that. Anybody knows if there is such offering in BTC accepting bookies?
for now he still scored just one goal that made him 4 goals away then Salah, the Egyptien king still have two games and he was lucky not to get punished by the FA for Elbowing stoke city defender Martins Indi he still have two matches one against Chelsea away and the other at home against Brighton so his chances to be at top of league scorers are strong but for the golden Shoe not so much as Leo Messi have beated him by scoring 32 goals and he still have more games for him in the league. And for Kane he still have strong chance to catch up as he still have somewhat easier matches and we can see him get more goals scored because his next game will be aginst West brom who is at the bottom and have not much to lose so they will play offensive football could that lead to Kane do what his best that is scoring goals and the other two will be at home against Newcastle and Leicester.

Kane and Salah can always be counted on to score. Kane especially has been consistently high every season, it just so happens that Salah has had an exceptional time in his debut.

They say that teams and defenders eventually wisen up to new strikers like Salah - Stoke showed that if you stick to harrying and getting physical, you can sometimes shut off players like that. But it doesn't always work of course, and Salah has overcome such team tactics.

Kane will probably score 2 or 3 more goals, hard to score 5 to beat Salah. But the Egyptian also probably has a couple more over the next games.
10192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I hold verge? on: May 04, 2018, 07:42:55 PM
I bought Verge when it was 0.08$. But recent hype related to secret partnershit did not turn out to be a success as the price went down immediately following the official annoucement of the partnership. Now, I lost in BTC value around 30% as the price did not get to my sell order. Therefore, the question to pro traders, should I hold or get rid of that s’coin? Thanks in advance!
I would hold on for a while with Verge, I am surprised that the price went in the opposite direction especially considering the porn industry has been the leader in many new forms of media and the potential that Mindgeek the parent company could bring, maybe it will take time but I think holding is not the worst thing you could do.

Well, I wasn't surprised. I saw how Verge swung on every good news, and you have to remember, it actually climbed/pumped during the announcement of the secret deal, all that hype and optimism were priced in. When I finally saw the reveal, I actually expected prices to plunge but my sell order still triggered at 1200 satoshi, so my real surprise was that it spiked first before declining. Still a good coin to buy for the short term, it will probably hit past 1500 sats a few more times before people realize it's not exactly a special kind of Monero.
10193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XRP] Ripple Speculation on: May 04, 2018, 06:01:08 PM

I wasn't wondering at all actually, not when Ether is trying to touch $800 and Bitcoin is making serious moves to the good old 10k mark. I see alts moving across the board, though with some tensions, and not as freely as Bitcoin. Even my beloved LTC is still struggling to get past $150 properly.

Binance posted huge profits in Q1 and are only just expanding, so expect a lot of volume, a lot of demand. Could altcoin season be returning?
10194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: PayPal CEO said bitcoin SCAM ! on: May 04, 2018, 04:10:33 PM
Disregarding the fact that anyone can say whatever they want, and disregarding the fact that fiat authorities like the IMF have already praised Bitcoin, I would like to say that the last people I would trust their words are people who operate things like Paypal.

So many places to start. All the scams perpetrated with Paypal. All the unfair blockings and restrictions and witholding of people's money. All the lovely hackers and scammers who actually use Paypal, sell hacked Paypal, etc. And their CEO says Bitcoin, which is impervious to all of these, is a scam. Good joke, Mister CEO.
10195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Offshore company with own bank account and debit card- Best price ! on: May 04, 2018, 02:36:03 PM
Interesting, if the price is right. But is Slovakia not part of the EU now, where it is almost basically impossible to open anonymously, meaning, you are forced to still provide the identification of someone, at least as a minority shareholder (since this is a company account). What is the maintenance, and is online access anonymously still possible from anywhere in the world? Swiss bank accounts even do not any longer allow non-Swiss entities to open anonymously now.
10196  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE - 🎲🎲🎲 Treasure Chest Is Back! 🎰🎰🎰 on: May 04, 2018, 10:27:29 AM
BitDice performance upgrade will soon be ready for in-house testing and being prepared for full release! Effectively making it possible for even quicker bets for everyone.

Hi Boxxob what does this mean are you'll updating the site, in terms of graphics what Alex had asked opinion about. Or are the servers being upgraded to even make the site faster. Could you give some clues as the waiting period is always difficult  Grin. I'm sure this is a welcome news for all but we could all use some insights.

Performance updates to make the site faster are coming first.

Exciting times for BitDice... I think a lot of people have been working for the full release, hopefully some new features also coming along with the performance upgrades? Quicker bets are always what autobetters look for (yes, I'm one)... but more importantly, autobetting that doesn't stop after 30 mins because that's the main issue I find with dicebots. You set them to run the whole night but the sites I use always time out the bot or freeze after an hour or so max so I wake up and see my strategies seldom unfold.
10197  Economy / Speculation / Re: Analysis of the mid-term for Bitcoin price on: May 04, 2018, 09:12:49 AM
I'm with you on your last point, and I had already felt that myself in January when the nosediving began. The correction was long overdue, and in fact should have lasted a lot longer and beared down a lot heavier than what actually transpired. For me this would have been necessary for Bitcoin to fully get into gear for establishing a bull run in 2019, but looking at how it's managed to not to do that, and is now approaching 10k yet again, I think this makes a strong case for a consolidation period that will last two years, 2020 and the next halving is a solid estimate for the end of that period.
10198  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is ETC the next big moon ? on: April 24, 2018, 07:06:00 AM
I think it will surely reach the old heights of 900k satoshi plus, and from which point it will definitely aim for 1 million and above. That's always the case with alts, and ETC is definitely one of those that's waiting for its time to gain prominence and recognition, after staying so long in the shadows of ETH. I have to admit I personally know almost nothing about this project, but from what little I do, it's a bit sad that the events leading to ETH's creation had to happen. I think it's just a matter of time before people find out about the history and realise its significance.
10199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Airdops and KYC on: April 23, 2018, 06:45:34 PM
I wasn't even really into airdrops that required more than an email, so I'll definitely be passing up on KYC unless I actually LIKE the project. I foresee huge drops in participation for airdrops, but so much the better for everyone. Less spam, less people creating 50 accounts to collect a few dollars in free tokens, less dumping of tokens... perhaps finally leading to less useless projects all looking like exact copies of each other and trying to "revolutionize" whatever industry they think they're in.
10200  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: whaleclub.co 20x leverage I DONT GET IT on: April 23, 2018, 12:21:11 PM
Be extremely careful when you trade with margins, various sites have various terms on how they perform forced liquidation, and most traders can't even think beyond 2x leverage, much less 20x leverage. Both complaints posted above seem unwarranted. Just trade 1:1 if you have problems with simple mathematics. Sorry to be harsh but you guys should really understand what you're getting yourselves into with margins and with futures trading.
