11001  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [BREAKING NEWS]: SegWit Activation Tomorrow 8th August 19:50 UCT on: August 07, 2017, 09:14:21 PM
SegWit Activation tomorrow 8th 19:50 UTC? How come? Quote from Coin.dance:
Code:
Current Count: 1753 / 2016 blocks (100% so far)
263 blocks remaining in this signalling period.
BIP 141 (Segregated Witness) is currently projected to lock in during this period.
263 blocks away to LOCK IN. Not to Activation. And 263 blocks it's 44 hours which is 1 day and 20 hours. So that will be in morning of August 9th, am I correct?

Code:
SEGWIT LOCK-IN PERIOD:
SegWit lock-in this period? Probably.
Lock-in threshold expected at ≈Tue, 08 Aug 2017 19:19:59 GMT.
Period ends at ≈Wed, 09 Aug 2017 09:59:59 GMT.
Next period ends at ≈Mon, 21 Aug 2017 17:40:59 GMT.

252 blocks before current lock-in period ends.
Still 152 blocks needed for a lock-in.
100% SegWit blocks mined in this lock-in period.
Just 60.3% SegWit blocks needed for a lock-in!

https://www.xbt.eu/

I think it should be around Aug 9. I think this will just come and go we already saw what happened in the price during HF. But this is a step forward for the bitcoin technology in general. Just another bump along the road that can be overcome just don't get to excited about it.
11002  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Time to sell ETH on: August 07, 2017, 08:50:10 PM
I really think it is not a good choice to sell your Ethereum now, if I were you I'd save or hold on to those coins because it may be dumping now because btc is increasing but after segwit will lock in then there is a possibility all the altcoins will increase too.

I think its just normal to see ETH doing a correction again. We have seen this happened numerous times in the past. The price is still high at the moment and I will not also sell if I were the OP. Maybe what he is expecting is that the price to go to $300-$400. Resistance to this price is very strong that is why its hard to see ETH going to this price now. But if you have bought it around $250 then it is still good, break even is better than a lost.

I'm not hoping so. Can you expand a little bit more? Any basis and science behind or 'just saying' cause i could not see any strong reason possible to big dump as you mentioned.

LOL. He is just probably trolling. Maybe we want to buy more ETH at a lower price and hold. No dump will be coming. A lot of ICO are still there offering ETH as tokens for investing on their platform. No need to worry here.  Smiley
11003  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-08-07] Bitcoin hits historical maximum while BCH hacked on: August 07, 2017, 02:30:01 PM
Yup... Bitcoin has crossed the $3,400 mark (since then it has slightly fallen once again to $3,390). But at the same time, I have to say that BCH is holding pretty well till now. The prices have stabilized, and I hope that a spike can start at anytime in the next 2-3 days.

Well let's just say that we wish BCH a good price as well. I saw it trading more than $200, which is more me a good price for it and it is really holding. We all know that is has a full backing of some group so I think it will survived in the long run. It could well be pump sooner than expected. I'm feeling that there are still some investors holding onto it and betting that the price may be pump and just go with it later. While Bitcoin is a different story, it has caught steamed right now and I don't know if the train could be stop. Segwit is just around the corner, and could probably be lock-in the next 2 days. So expect another run of bitcoin price to new heights later.
11004  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Has touch $3000!!! on: August 07, 2017, 01:35:38 PM
I think it will still keep on increasing but not instantly, more of a slow rise most likely. But we still have to check and see for a couple more days if this because of the segwit on August 8 that will be fully locked in.

The price is really soaring, I'm seeing $3400-$3500 on some exchanges already. 319 blocks before current lock-in period ends. Still 219 blocks needed for a lock-in. Lock-in threshold expected at ≈Tue, 08 Aug 2017 20:11:11 GMT. Only a few blocks needed to be fully locked it. I hope that we can make it just in time on Tuesday. Otherwise we will have to wait again.

3400 touched down via preev Grin
I dunno if this pump is just a bubble or we will reach until 4k USD. And bitcoin news from any article and prediction about the price keeps rolling

Bitcoin is really picking up steam after the hard fork. It's hard what to speculate now, maybe the Segwit thingy is really on the minds of all investor that we can lock it in that is why the influx of money is unprecedented. And they are seeing a positive outlook for the next couple of months. Maybe $4000-$7000 will become a reality before the end of the year.
11005  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Internet Marketing on: August 07, 2017, 01:22:15 PM
Doing marketing on the internet is a form of marketing that is easy to do depending on what you market, marketing on the internet is a very good solution to do, because now everyone has used the internet in any case and to fulfill his wishes.

Hmm, indeed the internet is where most easily and simultaneously provide many advantages to all those who can operate it properly, because right now most people use the internet to search for something they need. So if the producers do marketing in the internet, presentations to large poultry is sold. But marketing on the internet also should pay attention to all the things that exist,
 

Now even small traders promote their goods through online stores. And sometimes the share of sales from online stores is much greater than the share of sales from the store offline. Therefore, you should always have not only a store offline, but also a store on the Internet.

Good point. There are a lot of online store local or global that really capture their own market. And some of them are going offline as well. But initially their gains are from online then ventured late in offline to reach new customers as well. But on the other hand, those big offline store soon realized that its better to put up a online store to compensate or to target a bigger audience. No need to market at all because their offline is already known and people can just search in the internet and order from them. So its very advantageous to have a offline and online store, whichever comes first.
11006  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BCC value? on: August 07, 2017, 12:52:46 PM
I guess dump has ended for bitcoin cash. It will be volatile but its dollar price won't be very low. It will be well known more than lot other altcoins.

I also think so, currently I'm seeing the graph as going up if I'm not mistaken. Now is the beginning of a slow phase and it will immediately be pump before December by some group. As per coinmarketcap the price is $260.45 which is around the price of Etherium as well. So let us see how the competition will be between this two altcoin that want's to challenge bitcoin supremacy.   

We dont know if the bitcoincash will increase or not in the future. But to those people have bitcoincash if that coin increase for sure they money also increase and thats very lucky if they happen that. I also have bitcoincash in my wallet and I hope it will increase more in the future so I can make a lot of profit. You do you want to increase or decrease bitcoincash?

Well most of us have already dumped BCC because we all want to go to bitcoin because the price of it is going strong and maybe a new ATH could be set anytime soon. But since you have BCC then its only right that you want to increase it isn't it? I say that it will be pump in the latter months of this year, just my speculation, so you better hold.

11008  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: If you have $10 to invest? on: August 06, 2017, 06:46:46 AM
to me it does make sense to invest litlle money to see how you manage it, you will learn the risk behind your choice and you will not be burned like some people who start to invest every single money of their account and then lose everything in 2 months

10$ of investment would not really make sense if we want to get some profits on our investments since if we put some little money on certain sites there we can expect that we can gain a little also but if we can gamble that little money on tradings in gamblings well maybe we can get some chance to make it grow more bigger since their are certain jackpot situation will hit on gambling aswell on tradings where we can earn huge on big pumps.
Why would not really make sense? I have a friend become to millionaire just from invest to HYIP site and after one year working hard for marketing, he has get rich from it + trading. So, don't think $10 is small amount for investment, I'm aslo from zero before have stable income as today.

Your friend got lucky investing his $10 and works hard to get downline as affiliate. Well $10 is a small investment but I think if you put effort in it the result will be rewarding in the end. But for me, if you go trading, this is just a small amount to begin with. What you can do is just used this money as a trial for you to get into the market. Feel how the market moves and see how long your $10 will take you. If you got lucky in about a months time you can make 10x of it. It just timing and luck to be on your side to get you started and grow your $10 investment.

My only strategy is just to hold. I'm currently holding all my 11 weeks currently of signature campaigns so you may say that I only have a dust amount of bitcoin. I don't want to buy and I all for earning it and see how patient I am into holding it. My current goal is to hold and get at least 1 full sweep of BTC in my wallet. I don't want to trade my funds because its too risky for me right now. And besides I'm just new in the crypto trading so I'm quickly learning more about it as I can along the journey of earning 1 BTC.
11010  Economy / Speculation / Re: thoughts on rally on the week on: August 06, 2017, 03:20:36 AM
Hi guys, what do you think of the rally for over the past week? our coin finally broke the 3000 threshold and it had a baby call BCC.

Do you think the rally will continue?

No one can really tell if this bull run can be sustained in the long run. Heck we didn't even know how it started in the first place. We can only speculate that those old wallet that is sleeping for sometime and suddenly woke up claim the free coins, BCC, then immediately dump it for profit then quickly sell to bitcoin then put it again to their cold storage. So personally, I would like this rally to continue to a new ATH is the next coming weeks. So I think I would just hold my bitcoins for now whatever happens in the days to come.
11011  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 2017-08-03 news.bitcoin.com - Gwyneth Paltrow Joins Bitcoin Wallet Abra as Advis on: August 06, 2017, 02:58:01 AM
https://news.bitcoin.com/gwyneth-paltrow-joins-bitcoin-wallet-abra-as-advisor/

Bitcoin is very popular--even Gwyneth is onboard. Gwyneth was 'chosen' out of the panel of entrepreneurs in a Shart Tank-style show to assist the developer with business/brand development. I'm guessing the episode was shot prior to the 8/1 hard fork, slightly increasing the uncertainty surrounding this coming app and business.

I think most of the advisors are stars not only Gwyneth buy Jessica Alba, Will.I.Am bestselling author Gary Vaynerchuk. I don't know how can they be a start up advisor, LOL. Maybe they were hired as a sort of promoter or pitcher if I must say, but still the final call would be that CEO Bill Barhydt.

“focus on making a product that a core group of people love before worrying too much about scaling.” (Sounds familiar??)

This advise from Chesky also struck me the most. Its like saying that create a product that people will love before thinking of putting some improvement in it.
11012  Economy / Speculation / Re: Finally Bitcoin At 3K...Coming Up 5K? on: August 06, 2017, 02:30:45 AM
Just days after the much feared and much hyped Segwit event for Bitcoin last August 1, the tiger has soared and roared as it has finally breached the 3K wall and might be heading to the 4K level (though there can be some correction after this level).

The trend right now going up and at what level it will settle for the coming days remains to be seen. I am sure that many Bitcoin holders are happy with this expected rise and there can be many who felt sad because they listen to unnecessary news leading them to convert their Bitcoin to fiat money.

Can this be telling us that Bitcoin is going to try its fate on the 5K wall?


Too early to tell but if the graph tell us something then we are heading to a fateful $5000 which will be every eventful to all of us. But I assured you that everyone who woke up now is very happy to see that the price already break the psychological barrier that is $3000. I did not convert my btc to fiat so I'm enjoying the price increase and I'm still on my few but hard earned bitcoin and will continue to do so. I guess we need to break $4000 before we can have a discussion about getting to $5000. Let just sit and relax and enjoy the price increasing by the minute. LOL.
11013  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin heading to $4,000 on: August 06, 2017, 01:59:19 AM
Does not seem to have to wait until the end of the month to touch $4000, I think if this increase continues consistently it will only take another week to touch $4000.
Is now touching $32++

I think it will touch $4,000 this August judging by the way it zoomed past $3,000. It has appreciated almost $700 in less than five dsys after the fork. Now, this is getting very interesting.

Correct, bitcoin really push the acceleration right now and we are seeing $3200-$3300 breaking ATH again. It's just a few days after Aug 1 and now we are enjoying the benefits of it by zooming to this new boundaries. I think $4000 is just around the corner, we just probably get to there by the end of the month.

but to me i think we are not even going to stop on 4000$ but will proceed further.

Of course we are not going to stop and we will move to a new price time and again. Because once bitcoin price go up, its no stopping it that's why people are telling all along the it will go to the moon. Will wait till then.
11014  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin reached 3.2K!! on: August 06, 2017, 01:29:10 AM
Actually it's $3300, I think the cause of the price exploding to $3300 all time high is the BCC dump. This just shows that the community doesn't like the split and BCH/BCC is just another altcoin the price dramatically decreases by the passing days and instantly fluctuate's when it's blockchain network stabilize the only thing that preventing BCH price to crash. I think people doesn't have any interest in buying a slow and unstable network it will reach it's all time high in a few days or weeks and will become another shitcoin or scamcoin. All hail bitcoin.

Yup I agree, only a small percentage are really putting investment on Bitcoin Cash. I think the price movement is due to those large bagholders of bitcoin who are just coming out and claiming there Bitcoin Cash and quickly dumping it to go back to bitcoin ecosystem.


I'm looking forward to it reach $4,000 - $4,500 this month. $3,000 is the new low now, development and progress for Bitcoin is only going to be smoother from this point on.
The 4.000$ will come faster than we expect.
I think the price will never let down, also the new improvements will make the price to go higher than this.

Don't get too excited. We will slowly getting there and we wouldn't know what will be the price at the end of the year. $3500 should be the next barrier that we are going to see broken. Truly amazing how bitcoin is surging right now.
11015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Superstition on: August 05, 2017, 06:49:44 AM
In gambling people will gain experiences whether it's good or bad one. They will remember the time when they got lucky and unlucky. And then superstition comes. They will remember what things that made them lucky and try to use it again in the next sessions in the hope they will get the same luck as before, vice versa.
Yes, superstitions are being followed to maximize the chances of finding a lucky day. As there are no tools are available to find whether it is our lucky day or not, gamblers are going for following superstition. Interestingly they are following same superstition to avoid a bad day.

I'm not finding any effective results by following those still I am also following few things.
I guess this is how all the gamblers are doing because we are do not have more options to deal against finding a lucky day. For some people following superstition might be seeming complete meaningless, still gamblers are preferring following it because superstition is providing them some moral support basically.

You are all set with all of your superstitions then you can be confident that you will find your lucky day. It may seem complete foolishness to others, still it may bring big profits or prevents losses, who knows.
Yes superstition must be providing moral support to gamblers and that is the reason they are spending more time to follow them. It is just a belief by the gamblers to find their lucky day. Hence we cannot argue against their beliefs as it is being covered by their personal rights/freedom.

So, it will not be a big matter whether it looks like big foolishness or not. It will be complete personal preferences of a gambler.

Come to think of it, even though we don't have solid proofs that superstition does anything really, what if it does? What if people believe in superstition because they've proven it multiple times before? I don't also believe in it but i'm keeping an open mind now for those kind of things

I guess keeping an open mind about this kind of things are already good. There's no harm in it, so we might as well go with the flow and not mind people who do believed in superstition. Although myself don't believed in if, I have multiple friends who absolutely have some stories to tell regarding this belief. I also learn just to listen to them and not make any negative comments because I don't want to hurt their feelings.
11016  Economy / Speculation / Bitcoin has reached a record high valuation of $3,000 per coin to complete a rol on: August 05, 2017, 06:22:16 AM
Bitcoin has reached a record high valuation of $3,000 per coin to complete a rollercoaster week that begin with the long-awaited split of the cryptocurrency.

A number of exchanges, including popular destinations Coinbase and Kraken, valued a single bitcoin at over $3,000, an all-time high that is up $485 on the valuation one month ago. Earlier this year, Bitcoin surged in surpass $2,000 for the first time in May going on to almost reach $3,000 in June only for the valuation to crash.

Over the last twelve hours, bitcoin’s value has jumped by over 10 percent as forked currency bitcoin cash has seen its valuation crash by 30 percent. Some exchanges including China’s OkCoin even put the value of one bitcoin above $3,200, at the time of writing.

11017  Economy / Economics / Re: BCH launch shows us how irrelevant marketcap can be on: August 05, 2017, 05:56:49 AM


10 billion dollar network emerged out of thin air. Or did it?

Marketcap is a simple multiplication of price of a single coin by total number of coins in economy. It implies that there's a free market where every participant can easily sell or buy given coin.

But is it the case with today's BCH? As of now, almost no exchange actually supports BCH deposits, so the real amount of BCH in circulation is far smaller than 21 million, it's actually equal to amount of BTC held by users on exchanges that listed BCH now. This number is probably some dozens of thousands BCH, at it creates a perfect opportunity for speculation and manipulation.

Correct, marketcap has no significant value so it doesn't count as factors how strong a coin is. I initially thought that this coins will be manipulated by far by very rich individual and big entities behind it. I have suspected this will be done to keep the hype around it so that people will become interested and get it then suddenly they will just dump it.
11018  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: HUGE BTC rise and XRP dip on: August 05, 2017, 05:35:37 AM
I wonder if the BTC rise is partly due to people trading their BCC for BTC.

Yes, this is only the logical explanation for now. Selling BCC to BTC or BCC to altcoins that is why you we are also seeing a price increasing in the altcoin market as well. BCC is on the downward trend while BTC and altcoin up. Its no surprise that people would simply dump this altcoin and stick to bitcoin market. Maybe just now, people are claiming BCH specially for those who have waited until everything has settled down. However, they have lost because the value is going down. But hey is free coins only so we will take it.
11019  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BCC transactions are very long on: August 05, 2017, 04:37:24 AM
Worry about this situation, some traders must have lost with this process. Maybe this is also a strategy for BCC does not happen drastic price decline.
The trader must be patient, and immediately discard the BCC.

BCC already had a drastic price decline, as seen in the graph below (source: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash/), after unexpectedly skyrocketing to around $1200 days ago.



The long transaction times is just because of BCC/BCH having low hashrate and high mining difficulty due to it being just recently forked as you may know, and also having alot less miner support compared to what BTC has. I suggest to just make the transaction and return after like 24-48 hours later. Hashrate as expected will slowly rise in the future.

This means this coin is as good as Dead. Having low hashrate with high mining difficulty would really give longer confirmation on transactions. I dont really expect this thing on Bch supposed to be that it should really have much faster confirmation than bitcoin but now it acts on the opposite way. There are already lot of complaints arising now regarding BCC transactions.

Logically, if people find the confirmation longer a bit of hassle for sure they will stay out of it for the time being and go back to bitcoin again. But I don't think they will simply go away. They will put up a good fight but for me it will be just futile. Maybe along the way we will see it trading at ~$100 and few pump and dump to put some hype around it but that is the best effort they can mastered. People will stick to the old reliable bitcoin.
11020  Economy / Speculation / Re: New all-time high on: August 05, 2017, 04:03:56 AM
Bitcoin has passed the old price record of $3020~, and it's currently worth $3120 (Preev.com)
How much do you think will it increase before it starts dumping again?

I wouldn't believed if I didn't see in at average $3113.42. People are still claiming BCH and dumping it to buy BTC now. I hope that this is not just temporary or artificial because we may see people pushing the selling button for this price.

Bitcoin has passed the old price record of $3020~, and it's currently worth $3120 (Preev.com)
How much do you think will it increase before it starts dumping again?

I don't know how long this is about to stay. But otherwise I just have to keep on holding and this is now the start that speculations are going to reach $4,000 and higher. I'm not thinking for now with the dumps or any decrease that is going to happen very soon. But I know there will be the time that it will be dump but it's just for  a short time.

The choice to really hold bitcoin is a one good. The dividends are paying off. But we still need to be patience more as we can see it move to $4000 very soon. If the price still hovers above $3000 in the next few days, then I'm expecting it to push to $4000 at the end of the month.
