10441  Economy / Economics / Re: BTC: Large upward move is emminent on: February 09, 2018, 11:35:34 PM
There are great signs that BTC will experience a large boost very shortly.

If you have been watching the recent financial markets you are certainly aware of the large downtrend in the Dow Jones. Just a comparison: one percentage point drop in the dow jones corresponds to a loss of about 70bn in market capitalization. And over the last few days, the Dow is down by 10%.

And in the meantime, BTC has been ... going up.

Until now, serious investors were happy riding the upward trend in the normal financial markets. With the recent downturn, investors will be looking for alternative assets to invest in. BTC in particular and crypto-markets in particular will be noticed as uncorrelated to the normal financial markets and thus as an interesting asset class for diversification purposes.

Particularly if the Dow contains dropping while BTC remaining flat or increasing, more and more traditional investors will move their money into the crypto markets. When this happens the new money will significantly push up the price of BTC.

Great times ahead!

I have read the same stance in one website but I totally forgot the link. It says about a correlation between stocks and crypto and its makes sense that investors are looking for other assets like cryptos or gold. I don't know why stocks are going down though, but as least getting investors to shift their funds to crypto will be a good thing for us. And this should be a practice for every successful trader, if one market is down, better shuffle and move your invested. I also like to think that maybe we could get some Gold investors. This will result to another exponential growth in the future.

I don't heard any FUD at of the moment but it looks like we just hit below $8K again. But its too early to say if we are going to another dip before mooning. This might be another case of bull trap though that's whey I'm still not yet sold seeing the market green. I wanted to see it try to test $9K but its not going to happen today. Its gonna be critical to see if the price will hold in the next couple of hours, if it didn't, I wouldn't be surprise at all.

Do you ever feel like you're overly obsessed with cryptocurrencies or trading/investing in general?
Personally, I'm fairly satisfied with my investments/decisions so far but yet I'm looking for market opportunities most of the time. I think that's mainly because of the fact that majority of my time browsing the internet I watch related content. I'm passionate quite passionate about it.

Over time it kinda makes me feel depressed that I don't make as much as I possibly could or others have better scores (some unhealthy jealousy I guess?), so this "paper-chasing" has become a target itself.

When I want to take a break from all this stuff for let's say a month or week at least then I'm not able to because I'm afraid that I will miss out on something.
On the one hand, I have made investments in projects I believe in so I could leave it for few months even and then back but at the other hand, I'm still not quite sure about my diversification so I keep watching the market.

Can anyone relate?

I can totally relate with you mate. Sometimes I really feel that I do need a break, but I can't really do it because as what you have said, there might be opportunities that I might be missed.

And staying in front of the pc doesn't help at all. Sometimes I was just to go and browse, watch youtube but then again I can't take my eyes on what the current situation of the market.

As for me, I won't celebrate yet, because we don't know how the price would go in the next couple of days. Yes, I'm happy as well to see the price going back and the market green again. But we don't know if this is another bull trap. Although there's positive views regarding the US Senate hearing, I don't think it will be enough to push the price to another rally. Let's just continue to observed the market, before jumping to conclusions here. I'm still not sold if this is really a rally that we are witnessing.
10446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling ends on: February 07, 2018, 07:04:36 PM
can this world stop in gambling?
someone who like to gamble hard to escape from the gambling trap. almost like a drug addict. Even after they went bankrupt still struggling to gamble by borrowing money for gambling. Actually what do they expect?

Gambling can't be stopped. There are a lot of people who sees this gambling as a habit, you know, they need to gamble for a day because if they don't, they're day will not be completed. I don't know why would someone will be addicted to this kind of game where you waste your money, relying into your luck.

These are typical gamblers and already they have spend a long life in gambling that's why they can't escape from gambling. We can call them they are addicted gamblers. If we play gambling continuously and without manage our money then gambling become for us addiction like a drug addiction, then we can do anything but we can't change our habits.   

Addiction can be treated but it will certainly take a relatively long time and effort. Each person's level of addiction is different and the treatment will be different too. Some people may able to leave gambling after facing a hard time or lose too much, while some others may do bad things to keep gambling. But one thing for sure, at the end, gamblers will end their journey no matter at what condition they end it.
Curing people addiction by themselves is going to be though, its needed a strong will and faith to be able to cure the addiction. In my opinion curing the people who strongly addicted are needed a twos factor which is an external and internal factor. The help from the people outside like friends and relativies strongly advises to help support curing the addiction.

Yes, the support structure should also be there because its a big contributing factor to someone really wanted to exit the game. It will be tough but if you have a support that's willing to help you out then I guess it will help us a lot.

Yes, its curable just like any disease. It will be hard at the beginning. But if you are going to think that quitting will bring you closer to your family and loves one, then it will help a lot in your journey to quit gambling for good.

The market is falling sharply, I see signs of not healing, capitalization is withdrawn, should I continue to buy in the top 10 coin or should I pin down USDT and wait for new move?  Sad
It is worrisome, do not know how to do when the account has just fly 40% Sad

You are not the only one who are beginning to worry about our investments. And I was just saying "WTF" many times and my wife called my attention and asked me what's the problem was. I said my investments in crypto is down around 40%.

We can only speculate that there are entities working from behind who really wants crypto destroyed. Maybe governments are secretly talking to each other on what to do with it that's why we heard a lot of talks regarding banning bitcoin and crypto for that matter.
10448  Economy / Speculation / Re: Your opinion about the fall of bitcoin on: February 04, 2018, 09:10:07 PM
Been bad for the last couple of months now, so I think I have already witnesses the bad side of bitcoin. However, it doesn't mean that bitcoin cannot bounce back from all of the crisis its facing. Its very resilient as far as I know, although its the first time I have seen this sort of "bear" market, I think that bitcoin will recover and try to test another all-time-high.

If you mean that the price is not valid, well I guess no one can really tell. Its bad on supply and demand. The more people demanding the more the price goes up. As far TA, I'm not that technical to be honest, but I have seen TA's either a hit or a miss. So I don't bother to go with it. Its based on pure market speculation, most of the time TA doesn't apply to it.

title says it all. i've sent several emails to support in addition to tweets.  i've been assured it will be processed 'shortly' but nothing.

to be clear, they have taken my funds and i've been stuck in the 'sending to your wallet' stage for 4 days.  their (lack of) response demonstrates a total lack of professionalism and my trust in this outfit has eroded considerably.  this is a rather sizeable tx and i hope it can be resolved very shortly.  

the transaction id is ae5d8ecac157

Sorry to hear that. But I've been a user for quite some time and I haven't encountered the issues that you are facing. Best way for you is to call their attention as magneto has says, and If I may add, look for their official twitter account. I think its one of the best method to really call their attention above your problems as we all know that a lot of their followers will read it and they have to react fast otherwise people will lose trust on them.
10450  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: king of all coins on: February 04, 2018, 02:47:15 PM
new coins that have come a lot in the crypto world have an impact on the market price. however, after the arrival of the same ripple operates behind the blockchain.
will this coin replace BITCOIN or BITCOIN will continue in its position and remain the king of all coins?

You can't compare the two coins. Bitcoin is decentralized while Ripple is pre-mined and as what others have said, its a bankers coins. We have seen the Ripple being pump, even goes to #2 unfortunately its not sustainable because of the pum-and-dump scheme. Its long comparing apples and oranges, two different set, but fall on the same category.

So there's no way that bitcoin can be overcome by Ripple, it will remain the King of a long time.
10451  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodl till it moons. on: February 04, 2018, 02:25:36 PM
So a lot of my friends are scared with btc losing half its value in 2 months. Some even decided to sell off their coins just to reduce the loss which they will make. Please I will advice my friends in here just like i did to them. Don't sell, HODL TILL IT MOONS. Thank me later.

I am thinking about buyimg more coins, when will be the best time to purchase?.

Why not? This is the best time to get into the market because all the coins are at a discount. It doesn't makes sense at all to sell your coins in this crisis because you will just lose your investment, Right? If you are going to wait till it moons then you must be in it for the long haul. Crypto's (well some of them) are really good for long term investors. Just tell your friend that this is just another test that we can hurdle overtime.

And no need to panic, on the contrary this is really a golden opportunity to buy and stack up your wallets.

I believe that the most experienced traders and investors have already taken this decision. They hold their Bitcoins and altcoins and do not sell them until the great pump that will happen in a few weeks, as I think.

That's why we always tell newbies not to sell. They are the first one to be shaken in the prices moves downtrend. Experienced traders didn't even blink an eye when the price is going down. But for the bounce back, no one can tell for certain, one week, one month. But this trend will not last long I'm sure of that.
10452  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Bitcoin Price is going down? on: February 04, 2018, 01:37:16 PM
As to this writing Bitcoin price is $8,618.99. Bitcoin price is really unpredictable. This is maybe because some of the countries Government does not consider cryptocurrencies a legal tender or coin and some of them take all measures to eliminate use of these crypto-assets in financing illegitimate activities or as part of the payment system.




Yes, because governments all over the world are working together to bring bitcoin and crypto to its knees. They are really afraid how disrupted it is, but it doesn't make sense at all. Why the hell will it be disrupted when only a few % of the total population on the planet have been into crypto? If they are afraid that its being used by criminals then they can easily track it down in blockchain network.

I really thought that we are in the process of recovery, but I spoke too soon. It looks like that it went below $9K. Investors are really afraid and just want to wait it out. This is gonna be long so that best thing to do is just hold on our crypto assets.
10453  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin now below $10,000 on: February 04, 2018, 01:16:24 PM
Perfect time to buy and hold cos it's definitely going to pump

Yeah its too low at the moment best time to buy and hold or buy and sell in a litlle pump sure profit if you can manage carefully while trading...me just keep holding my btc till pump again..

Guess I was wrong, maybe this crisis or bearish trend will remind for quite some time. It went above $9K and now back to $87xx. Nothing to do but keep on holding and see how it pans out.

Investors remains reluctant to partake with their cash. They may have opted to cash out and go to gold or stocks for now. Maybe when bitcoin starts to recover, I'm sure that they will have second look and probably go back to the market again.
10454  Economy / Economics / Re: Mining BTC after 21M on: February 04, 2018, 12:25:22 PM
So it is year 2024 and the max BTC supply is reached at ~21M. 

I'll speculate that the price of energy around the world will be higher than it is today, so that will cut into the miners profits. They will also be receiving their BTC on fees alone, not the generation of BTC for completing the block (like today).

Will it be economical to continue mining BTC going forward? The large mining operations can always set up a solar panel system to reduce energy costs.

Even if some of the larger miners shut down, I'm sure there will be enough miners around the world where the blocks will still be completed, but it may take longer. (The mempool may grow like it did before X-mas last year)  I'm not exactly sure how the lightning network will affect the mempool....?

Is it possible that the S/W for BTC may be augmented to a semi POS type of system?

As pointed out its year 2040 or 2041. Even the last bitcoin mined is unpredictable AFAIK. Its really depends on how the blocks is mined (every 10 minutes?).

I think there's going to be a Asics or mining hardware in the future that will be "eco-friendly", that will not consumed so much hash power. Oh yes, solar panel will be a good alternative as well.

As for the software, not sure though it we need to augment. It doesn't really makes sense.
10455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Playing alone in a land based casino or Not? on: February 04, 2018, 10:31:47 AM
It doesn't matter whether you are alone or not but the fact is you are going to still play. That's the bottom line but if you have been sneaking around going out without telling others because you are somewhat addicted, then it's best to avoid gambling because in the long run it would be hard.

For me, playing in a land-based casino, I would prefer to to play with a company. With friends because it's fun and if we don't know the games, we will learn it together. If I'm going to play solo, It's better to play online. But it's both different.

Thanks. that's what really makes me go to land cased casinos, with friends and families to have some fund. Maybe the addiction on me has kick in again. Need to control myself because I don't want to fall into it.

Nothing wrong going to real casinos alone particularly if you like that real casino environment to play games.

But if you want to save time and extra money to go real casino then online casinos are best. I never played in real casinos so far so I never felt like what your feeling.





But it's really different when you are in a real casino. The atmosphere, the people around. Then you witnessed those big Chinese gamblers betting huge amount, never ceases to amazed me as a fellow gambler.

Lately, I've been playing alone in a land based casino. I used to go and play with my friends and family members but now I'm developing a habit not telling them that I will go to casino all by myself. It got me thinking, what the hell am I'm doing? If I should be going alone, why not just go online then?

Do you guys love to play alone in a land based casino? If yes, did it somewhat comes to your mind that it better to go online instead going solo on a casino?
u should have told us whats the reason why you want to play solo,going to the land base casino in single is a sign of addiction.and that means you dont want to be disturb while playing,for sure in just couple of months u will admit that youre an addict..if i were you go back to the old times.come with them its for youre own good

Reason is that I feel bored and I out to go outside. Yes, probably I might have relapses again and going back to my old self. I guess its I need to be mentally tough and fight the demon inside of me.

The same case here, whenever I visit a casino I used to be with my friends but as time goes by I prefer going alone. Though, as for me, I prefer being alone because sometimes my friends are so distracting and it annoys especially when I'm already having my momentum.


Do you guys love to play alone in a land based casino? If yes, did it somewhat comes to your mind that it better to go online instead going solo on a casino?

Yes, I really love playing alone. Though, I didn't think of going online instead. Playing in a land-based casino is quite exceptional, I tend to meet a lot of players and make some new friends. Plus the hospitality that the casino caters makes our or my stay worth it and comfortable. I'm not against in online casino but I did try it before, I easily got bored and I didn't enjoy it.

Well, We all have our views but for me, Online casino is not my thing.

To a certain extent, Yes, I would say that they are somewhat distracting. There are times that I won already and I want to get home, but I can't because they are still playing. So while waiting for them, I bet a few and incurred losses. Well, If I just decided to go home by that time by winnings will still be intact.

Well Lyoto career is on the downward spin. And I agree with @Hydrogen. He maybe past his prime.  His best days are over so to speak. Plus age is catching up with the "Dragon". While Anders enjoys a 2 win fight streak and youth is on his side. With that said, I'm siding with Anders here. If Lyoto loses again, I think its time to call it a day for him. The middleweight landscape has change a lot since he last become a champion on that division. Its gonna be tough for him to compete at the level we are seeing today.

Not true, the bitcoin is not useless. Bitcoin is a great help for us who work in this trade. Bitcoin is a study that must overcome so how they could say that bitcoin is useless. Today the bitcoin is very helpful in our society because it's open furom, freely express your thoughts. So the bitcoin is important today and for the next season.

Those who think that bitcoin is useless are those people who are late getting into the market. They wanted to ride the wave, unfortunately they are late that's why they think that its not worth it. Bitcoin has really help a lot of us here, no doubt about that. From a simple signature which we are being paid for our work, to trading, which gives us lots of opportunity to earn huge money if we all know the ins and outs of it.

I also disagree with the subject, its only useless if you don't benefited from it, but bitcoin has really help a lot of people here in the community specially gaining financial freedom.
10459  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: February 02, 2018, 10:54:11 PM
another good performance for Harden with 28 points and 11 assists against San Antonio.
Houston won the game in the first quarter and then maintain the advantage of over 10 points until the end of the match.
It seems the final conference will almost certainly be Golden s
State vs Houston

So Houston has really improved a lot specially Paul joining the club. If Golden State and Houston face off for the conference finals, I'm sure it will be one epic clash. I still favor GSW though, defending champs, been there than that.

I'm a GSW fan and always wanted them to win the ring but ain't happy if Lebron will join GSW although it is sure a tough team if ever. I'd like Lebron to be an opponent rather than playing in GSW plus that would be disappointing if ever. Match wouldn't be interesting as much as before it they let it happen.

I doubt that GSW will make a trade just to get Lebron. I want him to stay on the East side. So that the there will be somewhat a balance between East/ West. And I think NBA are really taking a close look at those super teams already. They will not allow such talks because it will not be fair to other teams in my opinion.

Its a new chanse to newcomers) And a good sale 50% to all of us! dont miss it

Definitely a good chance for everyone not only newcomers but I mean everyone can really buy bitcoin because its a bargain. We have been hearing tons of people here, saying bitcoin is expensive. Now it your chance. Are you guys getting it or just completely trolling before?

Next week we'll know for sure if the price is going to rise or drop even more than it did today. If it turns out that Tether has been pumping up the price of bitcoin, the price could drop to less than 4K. Hopefully investors and the mainstream will then start buying massively and the price will increase again.

Why next week? I think in the next 2 days we will see how's everything. If the price recovered then we should call it a day and relax. But if another negative news (FUD) comes in, I'm sure the headache and frustrations will continue.
