10801  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why do so many people wait for "bitcoin to crash" to buy some, and miss out on: October 07, 2017, 06:56:07 PM
These people who don't want to buy because "the price is high" will only buy it when fiat money is abolished by governments and replaced by bitcoin. But by that time, bitcoin will be 1 million dollars each, and they will not be able to complain about the "high price".

There is no high for bitcoin, only lows. If you buy at $4000, expect to be $6000 in six months, or even earlier than that.



Yeah. That's one lesson I learn the hard way. We should get bitcoin whatever the price. You just need patience because it will take time to really show how much profit you can get. History charts are on our side. Bitcoin has proven time and time again that it can rise in time. So if you think that the price is too high for you, think again.You don't want to regret your decision saying that you should have bought it when the price is $4000 because the price could you as high as $6000-$7000 in the next 6 months. So prepare your funds now so that you can't miss the party later.
10802  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do I hold? on: October 06, 2017, 06:22:00 AM
You never lost with hold. Buy and forget your coin and don't track daily prices. If you track you can make panic and sell your coins.

Those who HOLD are the real winners simply because bitcoin is really great in term of making money. Just be more patience and for sure you will enjoy the benefits of it in the future. There is a great opportunity here in bitcoin we just need to use it well.

There are no doubt that bitcoin is the best to hold for long term. This year alone it has rose to more than %300. Imagine if you have been holding bitcoin that long, you should be millionaires by now. But its really hard to hold that long though, maybe if you have forgotten it. Because sometimes when you see that the price is really strong and high and you have good returns, if hard not to sell and take your profits. You really need a lot of discipline and patience.
10803  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is China still going to ban bitcoin exchange in China on: October 06, 2017, 05:13:49 AM
There is a chance China would lift the ban. They might be planning something big with this. Considerimg 70% of mines are in China.

Correct, we must prepare on what is going to happen next, we don't know what can China do to the cryptos, mostly they are the big whales in the market, some bitcoin drama so the people will sell their bitcoins because of panicking and they are the one who is going to be benefited by this. Just hold your bitcoin guys, let's hang to it, it is promising.

Well we have been sailing without China already so I think we are good already. Some of the exchanges have been close already. Last news I heard is that they are not totally banning exchanges, they just would like to see that they should apply permit before operating. So likely that they have been drafting rules and regulations before allowing them to be up once more. Just hold on your bitcoin and see what happens next.
10804  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin rise is over on: October 06, 2017, 03:17:08 AM

I think the bitcoin will steadily grew up because I see the graph of the growth of the movement of the bitcoin that bitcoin already is at $4300 and it will likely be increasing up $4500 even more this month, but still many people that worry will be the movement of the bitcoin fearing to fall again. but I am sure this will not happen in the bitcoin
However the price grow with steady phase, at some point the fluctuations will be experienced causing a drop in the value. Here the users need to understand that the price variations is the factor provided with the profit as well the price gets recovered in a short or longer time period. Hold until get profited rather than getting panic and ending up losing.

Of course there will be always price fluctuations. This is also present even in the stock trading. Others took it hard when they see that the price is going down because they fear that they might end up loosing. However, you really have to understand that the market will not stay bullish all the time. The OP though that the rise is over, however, we can seen bitcoin lately in a see-saw form. Not the one that we are expecting. But there will be a time that the market will be very bullish and once you see that, all your worries and frustrations and doubts with the market will be removed.
10805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots Strategies? on: October 05, 2017, 07:46:22 AM
I have played slots before and sometimes its really infuriating and other times a lot of addicting fun. But There doesnt seem much more to it than spinning the reels or pressing one button. Does anyone know of any slot strategies people use? Is there such a thing as a professional slotter haha. OR is it really the most heavily dependent on luck gambling game ?


I'm a slot player and I must say that there is no strategy. But what I usually do is to start with a minimum then gradually increase my bet if I'm not getting any wins. Usually, I got lucky and hit a bonus with a max bet and sometimes I win big, but most of the times the bonus was just so-so. So I must say its solely depends on luck. But I usually won big by betting max bet. If you have huge bankroll then try to go big, but if you have small a minimum bet is ok and you don't know maybe you can hit the major jackpot.
10806  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: BitPay’s Bitcoin Payments Volume Grows by 328%, On Pace for $1 Billion Yearly on: October 05, 2017, 07:05:16 AM
Actually there is almost no any good alternative to bitpay so all merchants are just using them as third party bitcoin processors. This growth they have also suggest many new merchants are now accepting bitcoin as payment method (atleast for deposit), lately skrill and neteller have also added bitcoin as deposit method which is quite shocking for me.

Skrill and Neteller wants to target bitcoin users to remain in online payment business  Grin Grin

Skrill and Neteller wants to take a slice of the pie. As evident by how much Bitpay has profited as being a third party. They have really captured most of the market and with little competition, its not quite surprising to see them at the top. But I'm seeing the Skrill and Neteller entering the picture. So let's see how it goes. Although they are new in the business, Healthy competition is good for us. At least we have options right now and I do hope that they will offer good service as well.
10807  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: do you think its good if whole world will have ICO regulations? on: October 05, 2017, 06:40:25 AM
do you think its good if whole world will have ICO regulations?
do we want that?
why?
and what can be a solution for that?

As for me yes, it would be a good idea. So that we can weed out in the beginning those ICO that are really scamming investors of their hard earn money. Instead of countries are one by one cracking it down which is not good to the market. China has started it, crashing the price last Sept then South Korea follow as well. Those investors in bitcoin losses confidence once they see that country are taking a hard line against it. So much better to just put a regulation and that company should apply and get a permit or license before offering any ICO.
10808  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BITCOIN CASH is probably DYING on: October 05, 2017, 12:46:38 AM
What will be the future for Bitcoin Cash after the Bitcoin Gold become officially accepted in the market this coming October 25 and November 1? I think the condition of Bitcoin Cash will become more critical.

I think that Bitcoin Cash price will really be affected once the November HF took place. So if I'm a holder of Bitcoin Cash, I will get out now and not wait till the price crashes. The future for them is really bleak as there are no support, if there is, its Bitmain only. So there's no doubt that in just a couple of months after the November HF, the price could be around $100. They will have the same price as Bitcoin Gold and will remain behind Bitcoin. And its gonna be difficult for them to even touch $1000. Both of them will die because of no support from the community.
10809  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think China has halted the pace of bitcoin reaching new high?? on: October 04, 2017, 11:46:28 PM
Yes, they have, there is no doubt about it.

The market is very boring right now. I have been trying to make some extra from altcoins but they are going down when bitcoin go down, and up when bitcoin go up, instead of the contrary.

So bored that I even not checking it anymore. Used to check each six hours, the price, how much I have in bittrex, etc, now is only one check per day. Just boring... bitcoin is dead, its all I can say.



I don't think bitcoin is dead. The market is just slow right now as you have said. Of course it should not be always bullish and you know that. Sometimes we hit something along the way that will pull back the price. As much as we want to really profit everyday, it will not be the case, that's why we need a lot of patience when doing trading. And for the China effect, yes, it may halted the rise of the bitcoin price, but is now over. They don't have that much influence on the price now. It's almost a month now since they have those announcement that significantly affects the market. But we already moved passed from it. So don't bother about China now.
10810  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is finding members for signature bounties getting harder and harder? on: October 03, 2017, 11:51:27 PM
That's because a lot of people have lost trust Alt signature bounty. Its not easy to work for a whole month and still yet get nothing. Gone are those days when you get good ones.
But its good say that bitcoin signature bounties is still reliable.

I don't think that they don't have trust. Its that more don't want to because its way too long before getting a reward. And its only fulfilling to high rank members such as Sr and Hero member you get the most of the stakes. Although Jr to Full Member are accepted, those members wish to get a week payment just like in btc forum. However this is not the just in bounties. But if I get to a Sr Member rank, I will definitely target bounties. I don't mind the long wait because its gonna be rewarding after 4-8 weeks of work.
10811  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin rise is over on: October 03, 2017, 09:44:16 PM
Every time that we see a minor price drop, a lot of thread starts popping in saying that bitcoin is headed for doom and will crash. Yeah I agree, it will crash soon. But, did you also point in the graph that it can and will recovered from the crash? And the like scenario is the negative news that was cause by China, the price crash, however two weeks since and the price goes to $4000+. And besides, we can't compare what happened in 2013 to today. And the price just dip by $200. I hope you will also create a thread when bitcoin surges past $5000.
10812  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Effects of ICO ban in China on: October 03, 2017, 04:53:29 PM
I think that the regulation of ICO will do good. Projects will be more transparent and workable!
yes its what we need and what we hope from temporarily ico ban in china that affect value of ico. despite ico ban regulation from china and korea. there is still a hope from country such as japan who support ICO. I hope japan could change and fix this problem. as we can see its already did a great job by bring back bitcoin price from 3k back to 4k . anyway to make ICO accepted we need a secure way to determined which is scam and which is a true ico with a real project.

For me the banning of ICO will be just temporary. China and South Korea will just put up a regulation so that they can't scam anymore of their citizens specially Chinese. The company should be completely transparent and register everything to the government and they will make a review and release their decision if the ICO can ran in their country. I think the government has the right to protect its people against ICO that are really a scam. So it they are running out to run off people's money, they will have second doubts because they have to full registered every detail to the government body.
10813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Go to Land Based Casinos? on: October 03, 2017, 03:52:38 PM
Just went there last night. Lost like .03-.04BTC. The gambler that I am, went home took my card withdraw it and went back playing once more. Luckily I was won big and was able to recovered my losses and still won. But I was thinking when I'm driving going back home that I shouldn't to that next time. But I have the feeling that I'm going to win on my return that's why I took the chance. But please don't do it. I just follow my gut feeling and I know that I can control myself. It's just a have a different feeling that night. So yes, I love going to land based casino when I'm felling I'm "lucky" that day.
10814  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - time to buy or sell? on: October 03, 2017, 03:20:54 PM
Waiting for bitcoin to go down - at least  below 4k.
Usually I am buying some small amounts for every 2-5% of price change in order to have more flexible sells.

Now holding.

Its going down $4200 right now. You still waiting for it to get below $4000?

I'm buying when I get home. Will try to just get in small portion just like you and see how the market price will react. If it goes down in the next 24 hours then I will get in again. But it is goes higher, then I already got some decent returns. I just try to buy in dips and not waiting for a certain point before buying. For me, any dip is a good buying point. Of course the lower and cheap the price the better. But I'll stick to this strategy because so far its effective on my end.
10815  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Which wallet is best on: October 02, 2017, 03:47:05 PM
For web wallet I highly recommended blockchain.info and green address. And for the desktop wallet there are only two for me, bitcoin core and electrum but I'm using electrum as this is a very easy to use and user-friendly wallet. Fees on blockchain.info are quite lower today unlike before where all wallets does charge too expensive fees.

Electrum for me is the best wallet. Well its the only wallet I have used so far for bitcoin. It's very lightweight, user friendly and the most important thing is that you can choose how much fee's you want to. And the private keys is on your possession. You just need to backup your private keys so recover your wallet.

I know the OP asked for bitcoin wallet, but if you do need altcoin wallet as well, you can try Exodus.

10816  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Another Bitcoin Hard Fork due in November. BTC price up or down? on: October 02, 2017, 03:06:39 PM
it seems very difficult to do that prediction, but I'm sure many people hope that hardfork in november will make a new record bitcoin prices.

Its really hard to predict what would be the price movement. Look at the Aug. 1 split, people says that bitcoin will go down and their would be a huge market price. But the opposite happened, instead of a price dip, the price rose exponentially and even touch $3000. So I'm expecting that the same could happen in the looming fork. A lot of uncertainties, doubt and everything, but at the end of day, bitcoin surges ahead.

The possibility of bitcoin prices in November will increase because the evaluation is run for the second time so that if the price down will make a disappointment for an investment and bitcoiners who continue to seek the highest income.

LOL. If you are not here for the long term, surely you will be disappointed. However, as traders, you should know that the market is not always bullish. There will come a time that the price could go down and it is a potential loss on your end. However, historical chart says that bitcoin will always recovered soon.
10817  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-10-02] Police Confirm North Korean Connection in Bitcoin Exchange Phishing on: October 02, 2017, 12:38:47 PM
I think this just proved that North Korea is hell bent to sabotage and stole funds from their neighbors. We all know that they have been at odds every since WW2 and this is one way for North Koreans to weaken their enemy but attempting to stole money from them. This is just the start of cyber war and for sure this is not the last. Good thing is nothing has been stolen. And for sure the South Koreans has already learn their lesson and will upgrade their security around their exchanges.
10818  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin has defeated gold on: October 02, 2017, 11:51:13 AM
Yes Bitcoin has defeated Gold. I believe that near future Bitcoin will become the best among any other form.
Bitcoin is slowly getting into that. The price of bitcoin is getting more stable compare to the past history of prices of bitcoin and that is the proof that bitcoin market is getting into the stage of being mature and not that young anymore. I can see that in the future, bitcoin will become the most in demand currency and also an investment because of its possibilities and potential.

Bitcoin has already passed gold in terms of market price. However, gold has many advantage of bitcoin. But bitcoin is now the new investment portfolio that most people are going to. There was even a article saying that a gold investors, sold half of his gold to enter the bitcoin market. And its getting mature already but still the price is very unstable. However, this is what we like about bitcoin because as trading we can make profit out of the volatility of bitcoin. But we need to understand the gold is gold and it has several advantage over bitcoin that even we have surpassed its price, its still more valuable for some investors.
10819  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: October 02, 2017, 11:20:29 AM
Once again, I think that is so boring.
I have a feeling the warriors will lose in the west finals, I'm rooting for the Spurs to beat them.

Kinda rooting too, but since they've got no significant additions, we'll be looking at how their core players improved throughout the off-season. I'd like to see more of Kawhi playing on another level.
I really like Kawhi Leonard because he is a very humble yet a monster on court. He keeps improving every season. But he need a good team mates. He cannot carty the team alone. If you see the last conference finals. He was injured and unable to play the rest of the games. Now that some key players just retired and left the team. Spurs will need a good reinforcements to compete with other powerhouse teams like Cavaliers, Warriors and Thunder. Anyway, Kawhi will not able to play for the entire preseason because of his thigh injury http://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/id/24

San Antonio Spurs is already complete. They are steadily balanced and doesn't need a roster revamp.

It's not on the roster problem on why they struggle last playoffs but their momentum got wrecked because of Kawhi's dissappearance. Plus we can't denied the fact that Golden State Warriors is really dominant last playoffs. Not a hardcore fan of GSW but I see that if even Kawhi doesn't experienced that injury, they will still be contained by the Warriors.

That's series can really go either way. Unfortunately, Leonard suffered an injury. And with Tony Parker already out, there's no way they can defeat Golden State in that series. Its a good series between Leonard and Durant up to the unfaithful event. I consider the team all good and set to go for this season. And I hope he has already recovered and fully healthy. This season will be huge for NBA as more and more super teams have already put up and ready to match with Golden State.
10820  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only on: October 02, 2017, 10:44:50 AM
My journey started on Sep 21, from Boston to NYC, flight to Egypt then Turkey, back to Boston! Carrying $100 just in case and 3 bitcoins in my wallet!

Fuck If I will ever carry credit card, or cash any more:

1- I used Localbitcoins for cash! Search for best local currency rate!
2- How much I save from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges: $305.
3- Is it save to deal with Localbitcoins in person overseas? Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends Smiley


You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!!




Truly an inspiring story mate and thank you for sharing and giving us idea how to travel with bitcoins only. I think this story should be published to a crypto news website such as cointelegraph.com so that others can see how bitcoin can be truly used outside of investment instrument. Maybe others wo would read this will make the same journey and really document it with video and post it in youtube where it can seen by million bitcoin enthusiast. Thank you as well for sharing and giving us inspiration mate.
