1021  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I dont like daytrading on: December 23, 2017, 03:25:03 PM
in my opinion, daily trading is just suitable with people who has much technical skill and huntting news skill. Therefore, you should shift to invest in good coin in long term such as ETH, Bitcoin, Litecoin...
You obviously cannot ride every train. You just have to hop in one and hope it gets you to your destination safely before you consider joining a new one to take you ahead. The market is a crazy one and most times, you can just keep making some crazy decisions and then asking yourself how you even got there in the first place.

It is good you were even able to cash out quickly before the whole market crazy dump started and once the craze is over, that would even be a good time to buy back into the market.
1022  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price is going down. on: December 23, 2017, 01:16:46 PM
Maybe its because of the dump in the trading market trader are dumping their bitcoin because they are having a high fee when doing a transaction, high for in the network transaction might be one of the reason for bitcoin price to go down.
Yes, dump in the trading market as well the price correction might be the cause for the fall in value. This might soon tend to grow further reaching a bigger value crossing $20000 before the christmas days. At present the growth happening with bitcoin cash might gave created panic among the user community.
Now we are seeing the weaker hands trembling, the whales cashing out and the market taking a huge dip for it.
Things will get back to the right level and we will see the market back to where it was initially but for now this is a healthy one that we have all been expecting and I really hope the sanity can come back to the market than just seeing FOMOs getting in at any value they just want without thinking.

Honestly, it is like this is just the normal thing that happens at times like this, and then we end up getting a balance for a while and starting a run in the next year. However, I would not be surprised, because things have changed and those who cashed out for Christmas may end up coming back to meet it at a higher price. Right now is just a chance to buy more at this dip and look forward to some pretty good profit.
1023  Economy / Speculation / Re: 45% drop - this is new territory, never seen before on: December 23, 2017, 06:51:40 AM
a few _days_ ago it gre by 1000$ in some 2 minutes. 120 seconds. Is it _really_ unseen territory?

Also, I recall a 50-some% drop smetime in 2011... guess most people don't go that far back?


Oh, not to mention the collapse in 2013?
I really wonder. I guess he is new and I am sure he did not really do much research. This is normal, it was expected and we have seen it before after a high level of insanity by the bulls. There is always a time for everything and for everyone. A time for the bulls and a time for the bears, a time for ATHs and a time for dip. It is all the way the market is fashioned and it is good we are having this now as we really need some huge level of sanity.

BTC is having insane increase within minutes and everyone was happy busy seeing huge profits and no one bothered to talk about that insane increase and why it is not cool but now we have some few drops in percentage and we are seeing new territory ? lol. You have not really seen anything bro, welcome to the world of new territories if that is what you want to call it.
1024  Economy / Speculation / Re: What happen today with all Coins? on: December 23, 2017, 03:25:06 AM
Nothing serious is going on and what we are seeing now is what anyone should have expected after a huge serious unwarranted buying of bitcoin while looking for a quick profit. Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme and that is what most people are forgetting, Let us see the bright future instead.

There is no reason to panic and do not worry next time it happens in the future, you will know it is a normal thing and usually when bitcoin is going down, all other coins are following it as well.
1025  Economy / Economics / Re: Regulating Bitcoin on: December 22, 2017, 06:04:18 PM
I think the government will benefit a lot if the regulation on bitcoin transactions is enforced, but for now I think the government has not been able to create it even in some bitcoin countries began to be blocked as it threatens the country's economic stability.

No, it's not like that. It's going to be a hell to us bitcoin users if the government is going to regulate bitcoin. they could tax this as much as they want or they could force people to pay in every transaction they made or probably doubling their tax paying your capital gains in bitcoin and at the same time you are paying your regular tax.

I think it has no big effect in the economy, unless we are going to use all those bitcoin and pour it to the economy.
I really do not see why you are so scared of paying tax. This is something that cannot be averted and the governments already know that if this continues, then the possibility of taxing P2P transactions will be hard, but it is still something they cannot do even if they end up with the regulation thing. Highest that will happen is that as long as you are still making use of fiat, then there is just nothing you can do than to pay tax as that is considered as capital gains.
1026  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing? on: December 22, 2017, 04:19:31 PM
For day traders and short-term investors, volatility presents an opportunity for making profits. By correctly predicting the short-term trends in Bitcoin, traders can make substantial profits; much more than investors who have a buy-and-hold strategy.
Yes, this is not something we can change for now. First off, all markets are volatile and even the Forex market is as volatile as this one and the only difference is that the Forex market is a controlled one. On the other hand, the crypto space is a decentralized one and that makes it volatile coupled with the fact that it is a new world and a lot of people are just experimenting for now until it gets big.
1027  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoin on: December 22, 2017, 03:39:19 PM
There was a huge decline in bitcoin price today, though it somehow partially recovered.  I am afraid the cycle of 2014-2015 will happen next year, and I hope that it won't happen. It is devastating to think that after reaching almost 20k USD it will crash down to less than 10k USD on the following months.  Anyway, the price of Bitcoin is wildly fluctuating, maybe instead of worrying the crash, it is better to ride this crazy fluctuation.
It was a tough one to really hold back at the second support level but I am glad we did.
I hope Roger Ver has finished selling all his stakes in bitcoin into bitcoin cash and I hope people should stop expecting bitcoin cash to keep rallying up the way it has been.

It is just Roger buying into his thing and trying to buy as much as he can. However, it is good we really had the correction though because the market really needed that sanity.
1028  Economy / Marketplace / Re: 1 Year in Cryptocurrency still no luck earning bitcoin. Need some real advice. on: December 22, 2017, 11:40:21 AM
There are a lot of ways. Look at bounty threads here on bitcointalk. There are signature,social,blog&article,meetup bounties. They pay in project`s coin, then you can swap this coin to BTC.
So many ways. Even if you do not have all the skills in the world, but at least as long as you can socialize, learn and contribute effectively, just signature campaign is enough to keep saving up and earning so much.
It is really funny and sounds a whole lot stupid though, because if OP were to be my sibling I would have scolded him pretty hard by now. He did not even say 1 year out of cryptocurrency, but 1 year in cryptocurrency ? I'll be really damned.
1029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do we need to gamble? on: December 22, 2017, 09:17:34 AM
There are several reasons as to why people gamble but what i could think of as to why we gamble
1. People gamble to make money(profit from their capital)
2. Depending on which platform others gamble as a way to socialize
3,. other people gamble to simply have fun, as they might have limited recreational activities.
That first point is the reason why we have so many addictive gamblers today. They feel they can make a lot of cash from gambling, more like a profit from an investment and once they lose it, they try recovering it back until the lose all, and then end up being some huge addict.

On the other hand, there are some platforms that makes it even more interesting as you can chat all day and even receive some rains in the process while gambling, like crypto-games. So, for the socialization aspect of it, that can really be an awesome one.
1030  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your first betting? on: December 22, 2017, 08:22:17 AM
My first gambling is when the senior high school, my friends invited me to bet on football, but in a small amount, and as a result I lost. and then when I know bitcoin I also so often bet on football and I ever get a great amount around 1 bitcoin.
Wow that's a good bet with football, you are able to win after your senior high school first bet with football. That is good you earn 1 btc. For sure, you already have good amount of profit or savings right now.
One bitcoin is actually a huge amount to win right now considering the value. Not sure if this was recent, but having a great amount like that, can compel me to keep gambling on and on. lol.

However, I have never had it good with gambling and my first bet was not good and the second and third, just some few times in it did I profit while most of the time lose. Football betting though shifted the gear recently a little bit and that seems more reasonable.
1031  Economy / Economics / Re: How could futures impact bitcoin? on: December 21, 2017, 05:51:27 PM
It's just way to loos your money if BTC will fall down
The opposite is true.
People could benefit from bitcoin going down, which means that it may cause the price to go down because some strong players may want to benefit from that.

I think that the price of bitcoin is maybe going to suffer from a dip as some whales who are interested to have huge profits may short bitcoin and then sell a large load of bitcoins and they will also profit from selling bitcoins at a high price and then profit from the shorts.
They can later rebuy bitcoin for a low price as they will enable panic selling.
That is the reason why the same strong players right now are trying to use that means to create FUDs and get a upper hand in the game. However, the market has grown with huge strength that most of them may not actually have seen it coming.

Nevertheless, for those who are smart enough to know the pranks of the big players, it is always good to just play along with them for profit.

Futures markets won't even affect it at all and it is just a matter of time before people started realizing that this is a whole new game and not the ones that has always been played by the so called wall street guys. We are in a game where no single person can just cause a huge disruption in the market anymore and I am sure they should have been able to understand that by now.
1032  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bull market on: December 21, 2017, 05:21:15 PM
Bitcoin and alts are all looking good. After some initial volatility during CME
futures launch, all these should head back up soon.
They really are and it seems all the alts are really just busy doubling while some are even going more than triple. It would have been a very good year if some of us really considered holding some of the alts with a lot of them even having more than 5000% increase in just this year alone. I bet a lot of elites have been created thus far and many more are going to be created in the long run.

It is really a bull market. It is obvious the bulls are reigning right now and a lot of alts are really doing very well with their prices and in marketcap. Still, it has been a really profitable year for those who were fortunate enough to start and the market that would still continue that bull run is still unknown for now, but there are still some undervalued markets and I am sure those will really be the good one to hop into right now.
1033  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to find about upcoming coins? on: December 21, 2017, 06:44:16 AM
There are many coins that are not yet listed in big exchanges and you can check them in coinmarketcap.com.

My strategy to check the coins because it is hard for them to filter in the altcoin section is in the recently added section in coinmarketcap.

https://coinmarketcap.com/new/

For the ERC20 tokens, I always check the twitter account of etherdelta. Usually, when these coins are listed, there is a tendency for them to double or triple in value before being listed in other exchanges. https://twitter.com/etherdelta
This is one good way to go about it for very new altcoins. Nevertheless, there are still some coins that have been added in the market for a long time now and still very much undervalued. These coins are hard to find unless you did not miss them in their early stage, but with some news and forums like this, they have really helped in getting a hint of some coins and selecting them to do some research.
1034  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it fraud ? on: December 21, 2017, 05:56:24 AM
Never give your private key! Once you give it, they can enter your wallet and take all the money. And that transaction cannot be reverted, so you will lose your money.

Looks like fraud
Looks like ? It is absolutely fraud. You have said it all and there is nothing they need the private key for than to have access to the full wallet, so the OP should better just know that now and try not to ever make a mistake like that. Also, be careful the link you open directly from your mails or anywhere as those crazy thieves are on the loose, looking for every account to pounce on.

We should learn to treat our private key like our own eyeball. Even if some people are doing airdrop, the only thing they need from us is our public address and if we ever fall for something like this, it may not even be Ethereum, it could be other asset, then we will have ourselves to blame. It is good that OP have asked as lack of information has made people to learn the hard way.
1035  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to become a trader on: December 20, 2017, 04:53:00 PM
I have no idea about trading .But want to learn trade how become trader please help and give me some information and share some site.
I am getting bored already on this forum.
Why does everyone keep bringing up the same topic and repeating the same thing over and over again. Were they expecting different answers to the same question ?

If you do not know how to search on Google on how to do trading analysis, then there is no point disturbing yourself on how to become a trader. Becoming a trader is easy, just buy and sell, that is all that is there to it. It is becoming a good trader that counts.
1036  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Transfer My Entire Savings to Cryptocurrencies? on: December 20, 2017, 04:17:23 PM
I think this is a very risky decision. If you transfer your entire savings to Crypto currencies you can lose because the price still volatile and there is no guarantee that it will rise in the future, even for BTC. So invest only what you afford to lose.
Honestly, with all that is being said on this thread every single day, and even with all the experiences in life, I do not understand why people still always want to take this path. Like you said, this is something that is plain risky.

We can say yeah, we have gotten to the stage where things are always going to keep getting better which of course there is no single assurance as no one knows the future, so why will anyone want to take the risk of going all in ?
1037  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: trading or working in signature campaigns? on: December 20, 2017, 01:40:38 PM
In my own opinion, trading is more complicated and time consuming becausw you need to keep track of buying and selling rates in exchange sites to be able to maximize your profit. Also, trading is risky. For me, signature campaign is better because it is less risky and money is guaranteed given that the campaign is legit.
It all depends on your skillset and the amount of knowledge you are having. If you are having good expertise in trading, then there is nothing bad in going for trading. In fact, trading can help you in having much more money than that of working in signature campaign.

If you want to play safe and you are satisfied with the earnings which you get from signature campaign, then you should continue with it.
Obviously. Trading is a very good profession that you can make use of to earn so much within a short while as long as you are very good at your trade.

I got interested in trading after I got a glimpse of what traders are really making and that really pushed me to learn and truly, it is worth it. However, this is something anyone can still mix with signature campaigns though, but depending on the level you want to go and your work schedule, it may be hard to mix with work.
1038  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why BTC value is growing day by day ? on: December 20, 2017, 11:46:04 AM
Well bitcoins are getting recognised by many people and they are interested in making profits from bitcoins so people are investing in them as bitcoins has increased so much in such a small time therefore everyone wants to gain profits.And also that bitcoins are limited in numbers makes them more valuable in future.This price increase in bitcoins has also increased it's demand in the market.
The recognition is fast rising each and every day and that is enough reason to keep driving the value up each and every day.

I hope though that this demand is as real as it looks and not just some pump ups by some group of people, but looking at the rate at which people are signing up though, that soothes a bit, but I am still leaving room in case there comes any surprises.
1039  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you regret selling your BTCs? on: December 20, 2017, 03:02:36 AM
I just regret knowing about it and never bought due to lack of full comprehension of the mechanism behind it, like many people I suppose. I remember when i bought my gaming rig in late 2009, I'm been interested abut mining bitcoins for a while but get bored by technical issues and very little reward so I just forgot the idea. It makes me wanna die every time I think about that.
Lol. Not buying at all is a whole new ball game entirely, but there is nothing that cannot be changed, the only difference is that you only extended the time it could have taken you to be made by now.

No one knows the future and I am sure a lot of us based our decisions totally on that which is human unless you are extremely principled which everyone should anyway. Nevertheless, sometimes, we do always wish we can change back the hands of time, but since we cannot, we just have to move forward and re-fix the future to our best.
1040  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who else wants Bitcoin as their Christmas present? on: December 19, 2017, 02:23:29 PM
In fact, it is a good idea to have a gift between us, I think we can present a small amount of coin to new beginners on New Year's Day. It does not have to be a huge amount, maybe one drink. It will not be bad idea.
I think every person wants bitcoin as a present although his or her birthday, wedding gift or Christmas gift. But it is not so easy because both the giver and receiver must have bitcoin wallet and they should aware of bitcoin. I am sure that in the near future all the people will use bitcoin as a regular currency because future is that of bitcoin. It will become the mainstream in the future.
