1121  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did you ever regret having gotten into Bitcoin? on: November 19, 2018, 02:17:53 AM
Interesting question, I know. For me personally the answer is no - I have not ever regretted having gotten into bitcoin, despite having spent hundreds and hundreds of hours researching the topic.  It's always been an interesting ride.

But I have a friend who got scammed and he regrets having had anything to do with crypto in the first place. It's pretty sad but there's nothing I can do about it. I even offered giving him half of the amount he lost from my own crypto stash (mind you I am not rich) but he's so scared that he's not interested any longer...

Well, the bitcoin price in the cryptocurrency market is suck now indeed. But despite the losses, i gained many profits from joining cryptocurrency more than i gained losses. So, i won't regret for joining in cryptocurrency world. Even if you are having much losses, you won't regret your action for joining cryptocurrency as long you can afford your money to lose when you buy coins.

As at yesterday, we all saw the value of Bitcoin depreciate to $5,600. what is your advise to BTC holders

should we sell of in order not to incur more loss?

or should we HODL with hope that the bull run is coming soon enough?

I have no choice other than hold the coin because it is already loss much. Some holders may want to cut their loss by selling their coin.
But for me, i want to keep holding my btc until the price is better than this because i know maybe we cannot see this kind of price anymore in future.
Just remember in the past years, btc price has never going back to that price again.

Hi Everyone,

As advised I am trying to learn the basics of crypto first.

Most of the suggestions mention investing in top ranked coins. My question is, does it always work? As far as I understand, the market is vulnerable and affects almost all the coins from top to bottom. How then you determine which ones would stay ?


Not always, depends on the market condition i guess. The top ranked coins usually will be hard to increasing the price because the price on the market is already expensive. You may want to find a new coins which still don't have a good price, but of course with your due diligence first before you buy them.

How sweet could it be?

I really want the professionals to shed more light on this if it could be actualized and how easier could it be and what implication can it have on bitcoin

I have not found any airport that accepting bitcoin as their payment method yet, but i think there are travel agents that accepting cryptocurrency from the buyers. If you want to buy airplane ticket, no need to buy direct from the airplane company, just contact the travel agencies and ask if they accept bitcoin or any cryptocurrency.
1125  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just calm the f$%^ down, this is not the end of Bitcoin. on: November 16, 2018, 03:44:41 AM
People are running for the hills, because they think the sky is falling and this is the end of Crypto currencies.  Roll Eyes

This whole spectacle has started with the FUD that are being spread in mainstream media and the supposed "war" that is happening in the Bitcoin world.

We can thank Roger Ver and Craig Wright for this, because they are the people who are fuelling this BITCOIN CASH war, with the upcoming BITCOIN CASH fork.

The dumb speculators do not know the difference between BITCOIN <BTC> and BITCOIN CASH , so they see blood on the street and instability, and they start to panic.

There is also confusion about some of the Bitcoin <BTC> hashing power that might be shifted to support one of the forks and to create a scenario where a specific fork would be sabotaged to enable double spend attacks.  Roll Eyes

All of this is causing massive confusion amongst people <speculators>, who does not know the difference between Bitcoin <BTC> and BITCOIN CASH and now the real Bitcoin is suffering because of that.

We will see a correction after the fork, when these idiots realize that the sky is not falling after all.  Roll Eyes

There are many manipulators in the market of cryptocurrency, that is why the price of cryptocurrency crashing now.
both bitcoin and bitcoin cash are same, they are going to the bottom too.
We will just wasting our time if we start to panic selling our coins now, this market is only temporary, we just need to calm down.

coinmarketcap was full blue. Beautiful June is taking place

LOL, cryptocurrency market even keep going deeper now. Bitcoin is hitting $5500 in the market.
I wonder what is the cause of the crash of crypto in this year. And i think it the market won't recovered until there are some significant news.
1127  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are your views on cryptocurrencies on: November 15, 2018, 11:19:28 AM
How do you view the current condition of coin prices, will it have an impact on the sustainability of cryptocurrencies?

I usually don't depend my point of view about cryptocurrency by its price, because you know that cryptocurrency price is not reliable, too volatile in the market.
I believe cryptocurrency as a currency, not a speculative things you can make profit of. Another thing about crypto for me is, it is an investment tool. You can use crypto to invest on a good project through ICO.
1128  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why would people want to adopt Bitcoin as a payment option? on: November 14, 2018, 07:58:32 AM
We live in a world where we are bombarded with choices and the same goes for payment methods. We currently have a veriety of different payment methods, like : Credit Cards / Debit Cards / PayPal / Payment processors /  Charge cards / Prepaid cards / Phone and mobile payments / Money orders / Online Banking ePayments (OBeP) / Cheque and Crypto currencies.

looking at the wide selection of options on the table, would you be able to motivate people to adopt Bitcoin, over any of the other options?

What sets Bitcoin apart from these other options and how would you differentiate between these payment methods and Bitcoin? What makes Bitcoin better?

Let's discuss.  Wink

I guess because you can directly use bitcoin without 3rd party involving. Usually when we using credit / debit cards, the credit card company will
involving between you and the other's. With bitcoin or any cryptocurrency, you can directly send money or paying in coin to the receiver.
I think it is written in the bitcoin's whitepaper.
1129  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can we make Crypto go viral? on: November 14, 2018, 07:45:39 AM
Now, crypto is a currency people can choose to use. They don't have to. We need to build it as good as possible so that people who choose it, can. And those of us who want and have time and resources, focus on building good showcases, demonstrating that it works. Is rapid adoption that necessary? We need to be able to learn as we scale upwards. Right now, we're in the middle of the development after having learnt that "on-chain isn't the be-all end-all scaling solution". It was a fight getting here, and in the end the big-blockers went and created their own coin, which I think was good for all parties. Has it gone viral already, in a way?

If you want to make cryptocurrency go viral, i guess you need to using crypto as a payment option in your transactions.
for instance, you are running an online shop that only accepting crypto as a payment. If many peoples do this, cryptocurrency will become more known.
1130  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Keep your head cool in front of fluctuation on: November 13, 2018, 03:40:32 AM


BE CAREFUL WITH GREEN

Many know this but rarely can do.
Normally, green represents growth and red represents price decrease. But to me, it is the opposite. I have witnessed quite a few cases in which investors buy a green coin, like TRON (TRX) or Siacoin (SC), then lose their money. You should know that when the coin turn green, it is just some leftover or a rat trap. Like Siacoin, will you earn 800% more after it has already increased 800%?

DO NOT PANIC WHEN YOU SEE RED

Only be afraid and panic if your coin is a shitcoin. Shitcoin will sooner or later die even when it once green for a long period.
If your coin is solid coins, the red will soon leave and it is meaningless to panic. Those solid coins have survived long enough to have a future in this market and won’t die easily. Otherwise, they have a solid foundation of strong team member and potential project. If those are your case, don’t worry.

Ethereum and Bitcoin have also gone through those red and green days and still be here to grow. Be patient and have a long vision (6 months to 20 years). The rise or fall in short term does not mean anything.


Well, this is crypto, i expect something like that will occur often, the fluctuation. Cryptocurrency value is unstable, volatile in the market.
As a traders and holders, we must not take our decision with hasty and panic. Every movements of crypto in the market are normal.
When it goes down, it will back goes up in a certain range of time. But cryptocurrency value in the market keep going up since the first coin created in 2009, bitcoin.
1131  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KYC as a Scam on: November 13, 2018, 03:13:31 AM
There are a lot of projects that need an KYC of course it is a good idea also to protect their project so that they will know who's dealing with them.But there are some projects that starting from beginning they don't have an KYC required but when it come to the time that they need to distribute the stakes of bounty hunters they are asking for KYC,if the bounty hunter can not comply this where is their stake goes?if the project require an KYC they must announce it from the beginning not in distribution time.

Usually they will give answer like, the regulation in the country requires KYC for token holders, so you need to submit your KYC.
But yes, they should give the information from the beginning of the campaign, so the hunters who want to remain anonymous will not lose their stake.
1132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how governments can regulate digital currencies? on: November 12, 2018, 09:41:43 AM
Though it’s easy to see why governments would want to regulate the movement of digital currencies, the reality of doing so is much harder. A lot of wallets have no identification to them and rest on a server in a third party country. In the case of offline wallets in devices such as the Ledger Nano, they’re not connected to any network.so is it possible to regulate ?

It is not an easy task to regulate the currency which you cannot control such as cryptocurrency because it's decentralized and anonymous nature.
Centralized database will be easier to regulate because the authorities can have access into it, but not with decentralized database.
Government may still seek for a way to control and regulate crypto for the future.
1133  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not to banned or rejected on: November 12, 2018, 09:29:55 AM
There are various reasons and risks from Cryptocurrency including:
1. As in the form of digital assets, it is easily misused for financial system crimes such as money laundering.
2. The absence of a clear system, makes cryptocurrency vulnerable to malfunctions that ultimately harm users.
3. Crypto assets have the potential for financial crime (fraud), security violations and operating failures.

       For this reason Cryptocurrency cannot be legally accepted and even banned in some countries. All definitely have strong and wise reasons such for the safety and comfort of the user in the country. Therefore, I think it is time for stakeholders in various countries, especially in countries whereas crypto-capitalexchanges trading ecosystems is high, must think about creating and compiling clear regulations related to cryptocurrency to prevent future potential problems. Because we know Cryptocurrency has become an unavoidable necessity and Crypto is not for us to avoid but must be seen as a potential for benefit and global progress.

       Besides of the regulation of Cryptocurrency itself, the main problem is to prevent and avoid irresponsible individuals who have the potential to do other bitcoin or crypto washing, or theft of Cryptocurrency.

I question my self that do we can be free or stay away from fraud?


Bitcoin is not accepted by every countries in the world because there are peoples who using bitcoin for bad purpose.
And we can't know who using bitcoin with a wrong way unless we know the address owner.
Fraudsters and scammers take advantage of crypto because of it.

1135  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Future of ICO? on: November 04, 2018, 02:05:19 PM
As there are hundreds of new ICO's every week but unfortunately most of them are scams atleast more than 30% of new ICO's are scam and if things go like this then people will lose trust on ICO. Kindly help me with your suggestions about filtering scammers.

Actually the future of ICO is very good in my opinion. But because there are many greed peoples want to get money fast, they using ICO in a bad way to steal money from many investors who want to participating in real project. If many ICO's not regulated well and verified, the investors won't come to ICO and the future will be not good.
1136  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: how long will everyone can wait? on: November 04, 2018, 01:50:13 PM
Since january we all experience the red down lines
everyone experience this how long can you still hold your coins
and still hope for the best , are we waiting for another 3 years to reach the top
or we are now heading back to upward lines

I guess not everyone can hold their coin because some peoples need their money back after buying bitcoin or other altcoins.
3 years is a long time for me, i think i cannot hold that long except i forgot my coin and leave them.
But cryptocurrency is suitable to use as a currency, not for holding.
1137  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Bitcoin is a security, a currency or a commodity? on: November 03, 2018, 07:00:48 AM
The endless debate... Do you think Bitcoin is a security, a currency or a commodity? We came up with a few reasons why it could easily classify in any of those categories: https://cryptocoin.news/analysis/is-bitcoin-a-security-a-currency-or-a-commodity-2-18643/

What do you think it is?

I think bitcoin is a currency, but it have not used globally yet. And bitcoin is not a security because holding it not make you earn any passive income.
But if you a holder of bitcoin, then you may consider bitcoin is an investment to hold for long term. Short term holding will not bring a good profit.

Blockchain or Banks: Which has a Better Security for Financial Transactions?

By now, it’s highly likely that most of us understand how Blockchain technology has dramatically changed and how the world operates considerably. The Blockchain system is an openly distributed digital ledger technology behind the cryptocurrency industry. According to Alex Tapscott, the co-author of the Blockchain Revolution, the Blockchain technology is changing the concept of banking […]The post Blockchain or Banks: Which has a Better Security for Financial Transactions?

Bank system is secure because there are many peoples maintaining your account, protecting the database, and provide services for you.
But in blockchain, you have your own responsible to secure and protect your wallet. Basically, no one can crack the blockchain, so the security is better than common database in bank system.
1139  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The best wallet for cryptocurrency storage on: November 02, 2018, 03:33:02 AM
In General, how do you think it is better to store the already released cryptocurrency in which wallet? Not the drops to collect, I'm not talking about myetherwallet, namely hadith. It is desirable to have a multicurrency one. What is your experience?

I think there is no better wallet for storing multiple cryptocurrency than a cold wallet.
myetherwallet is only for ethereum, it is just an eth wallet. If you use hard wallet such as ledger, i think you will be able to store many crypto coins there without afraid to getting hacked easily.
1140  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it the best time to invest on ETH on: November 02, 2018, 03:10:23 AM
Ethereum price is now below 600$. Do you think it is the best time to buy Ethereum now ?

Oh no, i miss the ETH price above $600 again. ETH price was falling greatly below $200 in this year, i wonder what will be the price at the end of this year.
I don't think this is the best time to buy ETH because it still have a chance to falling more than current price.
Let just wait about ethereum or ICOs development. I am sure there will be a rising price if Ethereum projects still progressing.
