The
Goldmoney allow you to deposit BTC for gold, of course you'll get virtual gold instead of virtual Fiat currency, but they do offer a debit card you can use to make purchases with.

The bitcoin deposit allows the purchase of gold but you cannot then use it via a debit card.   They only allow normal fiat purchase of gold to be tied to a debit card.    Im not sure if they allow withdrawal in pure gold, I hope so but you'd need to buy a fair bit

Ideally posting on this thread for the buy then the sell might be then worth noting after, otherwise its all done retrospect.    I get your point about weakness after the doji but the time frame is arbitrary, how did it look on 4h

They just think they do. Just because there are multiple ways of checking gold's price does not mean that the market cannot be manipulated.
The SEC is just living in a fool's world.
Bullish price in looks, where is collated volume data though.  Price is maybe excessively buoyant to come back so quick each time but its a small market used globally. A reset is a good thing to mix it up, its retraced the price since year start and that helps to confirm price so seems more correct then if it never went down.

I have an old paypal account and Im interested in payment processing but you will have to tell me details of the countries and source of the funds to my paypal.  Does it have to be paypal, why not just send me money to my bank account.  I can accept foreign currency if thats a problem and I have bitcoin to send so thats fine in theory

Feel free to PM the details
10305  Economy / Economics / Re: Big Crash coming on: March 09, 2017, 03:46:38 PM
Some people are called extremists for saying this but never sell.  There is no good time to swap bitcoin to cash.    The reason to hold cash is to pay bills, but to save in cash thats where I kinda think the extreme point of view is reasonable.      
I do not think bitcoin will crash, barring a protocol failure.   However I did exchange some bitcoin to gold via a handy website.   Thats also disputed, the gold is held centrally and it relys on a vault.  So its very much not bitcoin distribution.

The reason I dont consider that a sell exactly is that its not that swap back to government promise notes.  Its not going back to full weakness of the traditional system.  Gold is likely to rise like bitcoin is so really its a decent hedge, I hope people will consider.   Look at your national history and if your countrys money was ever linked to gold directly or indirectly via bretton woods.

To swap some bitcoin to gold is very reasonable, its a nod to possible crash in any currency standard and its just respecting the same fundamentals your grandparents lived by.  Is that so radical or extreme, not really.  

Crash means an extreme or far out data point.   Before that you could do just small things like spread your exposure.  I think people too often are running to oppisite side of the boat hoping to counter the crash they fear; this action in itself can be dangerous.  Be a moderate vs a crash scenario Smiley

No the decision is now going to be March 13th for ETF.   I sure hope this rise is not all about that simple exchange vehicle.   I think its more China driven not new york based, thats just one of many destinations.

The way it keeps blipping down in a nervous way but immediately rising back, that surely looks bullish.  I think only btc protocol decisions matter but my view on China is just a guess

Right you are dead on there.    I closed ticket, clearly they already know but when I ask them they imply its a general BLK problem.   Some people are going to get upset wondering what the heck happened, I figured I'd made a mistake but lucky I just send test amounts anyhow so its not a big deal.

I converted into btc and sent in bitcoin, btw the polo system ignores the best price so if you arent careful and typo it'll not match or help you but directly sells or buys at that exact price ignoring the order book, seems not right to me.   I kinda wiped out the price due to that, though I wasnt doing alot.   I waited about 10 minutes since last block and it went through and confirmed other side in like 5 minutes which from what I hear recently is pretty good going.  So they can do things properly if they want.    Maybe its deliberate,  BLK is supposed to be fast and easy to turn around and tying it up for 16 hours kinda nerfs that whole idea
Someone buying a computer system told me they had to wait 6 hours to hear their bitcoin transaction confirmed, theres no chance crypto currency going anywhere if its that inefficient and uneven.
So I'll use bittrex in future I guess

[also turn on 2FA and turn off email verify or you will be waiting forever]

Blk up about 5% and btc down about 2% just recently
10309  Economy / Economics / Re: Big Crash coming on: March 07, 2017, 03:20:52 AM
Theres an old phrase, buy the rumour sell the news.  If BTC goes to ETF then you can estimate its a selling point also.    Any big use anticipated sees a price rise.   The alteration of block rewards was a fairly well signalled event, it did not start a bullish phase for bitcoin.  It was more in the midst of a rise, bitcoin went into a bit of a lull after the actual drop in block rewards.  The market supply far outweighs the daily blocks done.

Similar kind of dynamic will be happening with this ETF.  This listing on stock exchanges does open a new potential source of buyers but also its already been front run.   I think an ETF will help long term but Im not sure it will boom immediately .  In any case its far more healthy to see a rise with doubts and pull backs as weak hands sell off their holdings for a quick turn around.   The ideal new customer for bitcoin would an actual user or even better a service provider wanting to base a company on an independent secure digital currency

Hi!

Some weeks ago we released a Block Explorer for Blackcoin Smiley

You can check it out here: Blackcoin Blockchain Explorer

Useful for checking addresses https://blackcoin.holytransaction.com/tx/1ff843a187f07f96f39cf72521b52361e68f4ccf753659c07dede7cdcf9ef102
   Im not sure if I should be avoiding poloniex.  When Ive tried to send BLK it says sent but I cant find any record of it and the coins never arrive.   When I send 30 coin from my wallet to that same address the coins arrive not long after, its been hours since Poloniex says they sent and its disappeared apparently.

I offered to send BLK to someone at Poloniex to see if they arrive and they dodge the question, so avoid ?


I'll submit a ticket I guess, Polo  used to work fine though  Undecided
Quote
Bigolas: shome, Please file a support ticket at https://poloniex.freshdesk.com . Include the transaction id, amount sent, and from where it was sent.Thank you.

Theres a discount of 2.3% on Polo vs Bittrex I guess related to this, could be alot worse though
10312  Economy / Economics / Re: What if US Dollar Crashes? on: March 05, 2017, 07:07:43 PM
It makes more sense to look at the military for preventing anything, they have assets, training, knowledge and skills to actually do something.   The federal government is in at least 20 trillion of debt, they cannot help you if the world stops buying their promissory notes.
Its really the other way round, citizens contribute alot of money to government and Washington still doesnt balance the books.   If things go bad the government want even more of your help not vice versa.


Quote
Outright nullifying and invalidating the dollar would mean killing the US economy and likely pave a way to another Civil war.

Really the point is if the tide changes we dont get to choose which way things go.   Dollars are favoured right now so alot of presumptions rely on that status quo.    I would put your scenario another way, what if they banned Dollar cheques.   No business can write cheques any more, would it be disruptive sure but not impossible to trade.
What if we banned all credit cards from usage in dollar transactions, even more upsetting to business but work arounds are possible.   How about we banned every physical cash note from use in trade, no dollar notes can be passed across a counter only alternatives.   Terrible, some people would have to alter everything but we have alot of digital bank accounts and so its possible for people to learn a different way.

What if we switched off all dollars transactions of every type, bonds, notes, digital transactions, credit cards, cheques and government issued promises including cash.   Terrible, disrupting, loss of liquidity, asset destroying, bankruptcy inducing but not impossible to trade any goods at all as theres a hundred different currencies out there.  Every credit card can operate in foreign currency, can settle its accounts with you, every shop that takes credit cards can trade with anyone who has a card even when dollar is gone.   I imagine 90% of customers would lose alot of their wealth but it'd still work on the 10% left.   
   Dollar is king, dollar is the centre of the world but change is possible and its not always a choice for any of us.
10313  Economy / Economics / Re: What if US Dollar Crashes? on: March 05, 2017, 03:10:05 PM
USD is the world reserve currency.  Previously within living memory almost, it was Sterling which dominated global commerce which makes sense as they had the largest trading empire thats ever existed.
Currency does not determine trade, its not more important.  Dollars going down will not impede bitcoin so far as I know.    The wealth of US nationals will not stop bitcoin from rising in price.   They might be poorer but prices are not determined by the wealth of just that country. 

Most bitcoin trade is done with connection with China not USA, they may want to buy dollars or be interested in the link to dollar but thats transient.   IF dollar were to disappear, people might just quote bitcoin in oil cost or some universal point of reference

Quote
since the dollar can't collapse overnight
Indian government just recently nullified 2 types of currency notes overnight.   I doubt USA would decide to, but its possible they can default on all obligations.    Bitcoin would not fall in dollar price, it would only make that price irrelevant

If US Dollar crashes then Bitcoin price will go very high and people already holding it will make money.
I have to disagree sorry.    Every decade or so a national currency crashes and its people are made poorer generally.   Money does serve a purpose, a utility and some work is saved by allowing that convenience and ability to save.
IF that system is destroyed, generally losses occur.  I agree prices will go up as the dollar worth goes down, its true but overall the effect makes people poorer as confidence falls and uncertainty means less trading.

Studies into the decline of the Mexican peso and its standard failure for note holders were made over years by Marc Faber who has traded internationally since the 1970's.   He has a long slideshow and talk on this, his conclusion was that share holders in mexico were roughly even after 10 years.   In a decade, they saw no growth occur and no losses to their original money.
We all know a country that has sucess can become richer and grow alot in ten years, so no growth is very poor.   Inflation, currency failure is a negative.

The only point to add for Bitcoin is that its new technology.  Some very clever innovative people want to make it better, if they improve utility its still possible you do gain in some way.  This gain would come from world commerce increasing and the decline of a Washington centred monetary biased system, maybe!
10316  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: March 05, 2017, 09:43:18 AM
Thats pretty much my thinking.   Not that the ratio really relates to accuracy of anything but its mostly likely that gold is undervalued and behind the curve in its appreciation.

Silver is used in solar polar, its a very useful practical and efficient metal.  Its special in all kinds of ways and in addition it might be used for some secondary monetary use however its primary use is industrial and it will always be mined incidentally and in quite great amounts.   Any spike in silver is going to be in the tail end of a system which has lost its integrity, most of us know this is possible now.

In recent years silver is less used, less base demand due to photography.  Digital cameras use far less silver and none at all in used to create the actual photos of course.  Printers use little silver and none in the ink that Ive ever heard of.  The rise of electric power is its most likely future growth industry, it has a unique place there so Ive read.   There is a big tech release of a new battery recently, its not using silver in that design not sure but I think silver will be relevant in some quantity

The other noble metals are often related in demand to car production for pollution and emissions reduction

Apart from gold and platinum, there are also other bullion metals such as palladium. I am not mentioning silver here, because I don't consider silver as a bullion metal. The majority of the silver mined every year is used for industrial purposes, and not for investment.

Palladium seems very stable.   Ive read it is not suitable for monetary purposes as its not equal in its distribution.   Russia has the vast majority of known reserves, in some crazy world Russia is the reserve currency maybe you will see this metal used for that.   
Hopefully not because it would be equal to our system now where the main producer and controller of dollars is USA and they manipulate the market in their favour debasing worth and distorting capitalism

The chances for FED to raise interest rates are as high as %85 right now. Next FED meeting is on March/15.

If they keep raising rates like this, (and they should do it btw) most of the Emerging Markets will be destroyed. And ME countries won't be the only ones to be affected by this. Some European countries also will get fucked.

Countries which depend so much on tourism incomes are most likely to get fucked.

I'd say this is nonsense but you are only reading off the prompter so no offence in that you are correct in your conformity.    Federal reserve raising rates is irrelevant, the effective rate includes inflation and is what  effects an entire economy.   The benchmark rate is what banks deal with and is more prominent but less important overall.


Washington vs the world and the world loses.   How much sense does that make to anyone on any level
10319  Economy / Speculation / Re: Analysis on: March 04, 2017, 01:25:09 AM
So I was right about it being bullish Cheesy    guess it was a coin flip.   My last look I think OBV indicates its strength from volume is not exceeding the high from year beginning.  However now I think about it, the exchanges are split and I lack a proper chart to volume and so indicators are not anywhere near accurate  Sad      Is the market big enough that someone has that data and is considering volume consolidated, Im sure someone is

Aren't you that guy who sold at $900 because of the 'overbought RSI'? lol

MFI includes volume btw.  RSI cant be used singularly

steal my marketing concept ("Bitcoin Killer"),

Bitcoin is going to have to kill itself is my take on that concept.   I think it will have to fail and neglect to adapt or evolve beyond its drawbacks.       Something better might come along but then you have to ask why would bitcoin stay still and not enable features required for the general population to use it.

There will be specialities that bitcoin does not cover, that would be a parallel crypto standard and a friendly situation possibly.  Im sure Ive heard it mentioned that some anticipate bitcoin to key into other coins, I thought that was a pretty smart direction and open minded idea.

The future is bigger then all of us and we are all just pebbles on the beach as the tides of change wash over us  Grin    chill out a bit, mistakes will prove themselves wrong also we dont need to stop anyone in their opinions.
