1161  Economy / Economics / Re: Which one do you prefer?Increase your Bitcoin or ِDollar? on: October 12, 2018, 06:28:25 PM
I think its going one with other, increasing your bitcoin is almost same like increasing dollars, I prefer bitcoins over dollars, but if you have something valuable its like you have everything else. In long term, very long term, having bitcoins is much better than having dollars, crypto world is growing, dollar is the subject of many manipulations, government regulations, its like dirty money for me, one day dollar economy will collapse, maybe sooner than we think, so I prefer to grow my cryptocoins, we will see in future who was right. Good luck my friends with your decisions.

It is a sad story, and it's also a good story for us to learn and get this experience. He borrows money from his friend and fortunately, he can sell his bitcoin to make a lot of money, and he can pay the debts. And I am sure that in the last year in August, the bitcoin price is less than $4k and if he sells his bitcoin now, he is making more than $2k per bitcoin. From this story, we can learn that we need to be careful when we want to borrows money from other people because we need to think about how we can pay that money. The other lesson is we are never put all of our money in one basket but we need to diversify in many things, and the most important lesson that we need to note here is don't use all of your life saving even if you are sure that your investment will give you a lot of money.
If anything I think that the lesson that we should learn by the story that started this thread is to not take such huge risks, people see the potential profits that they can get out of this market and how a small amount of money can make them millionaires, what they do not understand is that in order to get those kind of profits they are taking a huge risk and if the probabilities are against you then instead of becoming very rich you will lose the small amount of money that you had.
I think this is only an illusion, he is a newbie, do you really think that op is in cryptocurrencies more than 4 years? So he made this account after 4 years to do what? To cry here how he made some bad trades, when you think about it there is nothing more than that. Who trade knows that timing is everything, if you buy in wrong moment you need to wait longer for profit or cut loses, when you are selling you are either cutting loses or you are making some profit, from timing it will depend will it be high or low profit.
What is the most funny in this comment is that if he really bought 4 years ago, price in that time was very low, with just holding until now he would make a lot of money, end of story!
1163  Economy / Economics / Re: $2.5 Million: Binance Invests in Aussie Crypto Payments Startup to Push Adoption on: October 11, 2018, 08:01:46 AM
Binance is investing AUD $3.48 million (approx. USD$2.5 million) in TravelbyBit to further expansion of the latter’s network of cryptocurrency payment terminals following a successful implementation in Brisbane earlier this year, Business Insider Australia reported on Wednesday.
It's great to see that an exchange cares about cryptocurrencies being used properly! I mean, they profit from cryptos being constantly traded as if that was the main purpose of their creation, but also care about developing ways to help people use cryptocurrencies to purchase goods and services! Terminals accepting payments in coins is like a dream to me! For now it is mainly as if owning btc wasn't the same as possessing money. One usually needs to convert it to 'real' money first. I hope more companies will try to help make crypto payments possible.
Binance is making a lot of money with their business, its nice that they are returning a part of their earnings back in crypto. Why not, they have benefit from crypto popularization in every sens of that word, when more people join this community, like all of us they will have to choose where to trade and buy other altcoins, or tokens, what ever. They are making a step forward, its good for them in many ways, maybe marketing about all that is the most important, bonus for them will be if that start up becomes successful, its just more profit. Turn it up side down, its good move how ever you look at it.
1164  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I wish I dump all the BTC in late DEC 2017 on: October 11, 2018, 12:15:58 AM
what a year, wish I dump all the coin in late DEC lol

and today, spend the 100% from that capital and bought it again, so u still holding the same amount as late DEC while steady with the 900% profits..
The assumotions you are making are much essential for making a serious profit. But we could never predict the future for anything so it is nearly impossible to implement before we see the future. In the end of 2917 the price for bitcoins was really on the peak but at that time most of the investors along with me thought that the price would have a better peak ahead so better hold it now and bear a sweet fruti ahead but it went exactly opposite.

The price for Bitcoins again fell from the peak and started reaching the dip. It was a bit de motivating for most of the holders and the ones with low patience skills sold their bitcoins at a low price which lead for a more price drop for bitcoins. I am personally holding 0.07 BTC from that time and have stored them into the cold storage. I will only withdraw them if i see the price above my expectations.
Shortly its shortage, when you sell you asset on top of its value and buy back when its on bottom. When you give it a wide range, like you could buy today, sell in couple years, than wait a year to buy back its sure sounds easy to do it. I trade a lot, and I sold some bitcoin at that top, but i invested that bitcoins in some other coins, unfortunately entire market collapsed. Now for some investments its better I didn`t do it at all, they dropped more than bitcoin did. Seems like I lost some money, but with patience I think it will pay off along the way, remember old saying, you lose only if you sell.
1165  Economy / Economics / Re: Apart from trading where else to use crypto? on: October 10, 2018, 06:38:03 PM
More than 90% of ICOs (still a wide margin) lack pure utility aside from trading values. Among freelancers, people may trade one crypto for another, but in a brick and mortar business scenario, crypto has little to no impact. For example if I walk into a store I could get the credit card and a few other payment options. Still, with the over abundance of crypto technologies and their native tokens, only a handful of stores have barcodes for bitcoin and a few other payment coin types.

I think we need more radical real world businesses tokenizing their products and using this 'tokenization' as a means to garner support for mainstream crypto adoption. Like rewarding people loyalties for using their products.

Does anyone else here share the same concerns, or do you know a coin that is owned by real businesses for such purposes?
I respect your comment, you have very strong arguments. I have similar opinion, crypto has little or no impact, but that is the start, only a beginning. Bitcoin is good example, where bitcoin was in the beginning, just couple enthusiasts and big will, combined with hard work. You are right and nobody can deny your words, but have in mind that this is only a start. In few years we will see which one from all this tokens will survive, thats possible only with hard work and innovations, after couple years when some of them survive they will start to grow and people will have more trust in those tokens.
1166  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: will humanity stop using cash on: October 10, 2018, 02:49:47 PM
Very soon, I think. The cash just dissapiar from our life in next 15-25 years. The humanity just change cash and will use only other pay systems.
In some countries this change will happen sooner, some countries announced that in next 5 years to happen .we are definitely going in that direction, cashless society is now a global goal. Cryptocurrencies will speed up that proces, technology is main occupation of all the people, cryptocurrencies will dominate on global market in few years, and when younger generations grow up they will see cash only in museums.
1167  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: WIll ETH pass BTC in 2019 ? on: October 09, 2018, 04:37:47 PM
WIll ETH pass BTC in 2019 ?
Why live with dreams, really see how much stronger Bitcoin is used in the market and it will become clear that only a miracle can overthrow it, and not one of the alts. So one thing is predictions, and another is real facts.
ETH been dropping from top 2 spot since its price drop but manages to get back on its spot. Not that its impossible to happen in BTC but we can't really tell as long as ETH find its way to have more pump and pass all the achievements that BTC been done in the past. It will be a long run thou.
Question is will this ever happen, even in 10 years or more. Ethereum is a great platform but they need a lot of improving to pass bitcoin in price and popularity. I cant say it will never happen, nobody cant claim anything here in crypto world, ethereum is going good I think in this past years, it will be even greater in future I believe, but its still far behind bitcoin in many ways. Ethereum can make miracles with their platform, but there are other platforms, they will need to fight they way trough, I have some just in case, good luck my friends.
1168  Economy / Economics / Re: Government regulation on cryptocurrency, GOOD or BAD? on: October 09, 2018, 09:54:45 AM
For me it is good if cryptocurrency will be regulated by the government  because fraud project development and scammers will be minimize and be punished.
If government is corrupted and full with fraudsters and scammers on the top of the chain, how their regulations can be good for all the people that live in that country. I just gave you something to think about it, cryptocurrencies are already regulated, why there is a need for governments to make more regulations? How that can be good for all of us? I think it cant, its good just for the ruling class. We can discuss about one thing
is there more scams in crypto or out there in real world? I think if you are careful here, if you know how to protect yourself you will be safe, in real world scammers knock on your doors and take from you in many ways. I say no to government regulations on cryptocurrencies, its better to be like it is, like Satoshi wanted to be, open network, decentralized!

1170  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What are the most promising cryptocurrencies? on: October 07, 2018, 09:25:25 AM
Hello everyone, please write 5-10 cryptocurrencies in which you would invest, invest now or will invest for a long time. By long I mean from 3-5 years to 10. Except Bitcoin.

My list is:
1. Ethereum
2. Stellar
3. Monero
4. Zcash
5. 0x
Maybe:
6. Siacoin
7. Qtum
8. Lisk
9. Dash

Few coin on CMC are promising, but it depends on your own research and how well you get to know about them in my own suggestions i will go for:
1. Ethereum
2. Ada
3. EOS
4. XRP
5. Stellar
Where is bitcoin, why bitcoin isnt on this list? Litecoin too, most of the platforms are here, I believe that bitcoin will stay on top for some time, you need to list it for sure. Many of this suggestions are now under a dollar, why not to buy them now just in case, you never know what is waiting for us. Monero is a good pick, privacy coins will be a thing of the future, people don`t know much about them yet, but they will be popular one day, I would add more privacy coins on this list.
Stellar is one my favorite coins, I keep them for more than a year and I`m buying more, I believe in stellar more than in ripple.
1171  Economy / Economics / Re: What can be done to make bitcoin stable? on: October 07, 2018, 08:14:36 AM
I don't think there's something that needs to be done to make bitcoin stable as far as its market value is concerned. Let's not forget that bitcoin is a very volatile asset that relies on the supply and demand.
What we can do to make cryptomarket more stable is to speculate less, but who is willing to do that? When market is flooded with speculators what else price can do, just to swing as speculators plays on their instruments. People are in panic price is going down, people are on fire price is going up, panic and fire can be small or big, maybe huge but its burning all the time, thats why we have so unstable prices, unstable market, where everything and anything is possible.

I read the article, and I like it. It's good idea to approach car rentals and smaller cruise tours. That are small businesses everywhere so it will be easy to lean them towards cryptocurrency. And car rental with crypto and reserving it on the platform, thats just make everything easy.
They need to connect with everyone, its how I understand concept of smart trip platform! When you are on the road you need a lot of everything Cheesy
1173  Economy / Speculation / Re: The value of Bitcoin is rising again? on: October 06, 2018, 09:45:50 AM
Have any of you thought that one day, prices of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will be like the prices of the stock market where +5% is a huge gain and -2% is a huge loss? I can see this coming in the future when the crypto market reaches trillions of dollars.  As of now, it is still easily being manipulated by whales.   
Good comment, market will be measured in trillions, and when that happens just couple percents will be huge. It's question when will market reach trillions, we are going in that direction and we have will need years to achieve that. Everything before couple years from now will be to fast, I see this coming like yoybmy friend, but we will wait for years before its finally happen. If anything its good that we have more time for making more bitcoins and other coins before prices jump upbto much higher levels.
1174  Economy / Gambling / Re: How to win in Freebitco.in on: October 06, 2018, 05:58:29 AM
======
Any one else has your rule to win freebit or any new idea? please share here, i will happy to practice with it.
A simple martingale strategy once again to be used into these kind of games. Theres no such rule on giving you a guaranteed win on Freebico.in or any other sites
and reading up on your strategy youve been sharing i doubt that most people do new about this stuff and most people is aware that this doesnt work most of the time
unless if you are in luck. Waiting up for that 4 lose will consume too much of your time and you wont literally enjoy the game because you are already serious on using up your strat but still you
end up on losing if you arent lucky on that time.
Lucky or not you will lose money on freebitcoin, thats not a gambling site at all, its faucet and now they are paying some interest if you hold some coins there, its everything and anything to except dice site, and I never saw that someone won lottery or first prize on faucet, 200$ in bitcoins, years are passing without winners.
Martingale will not work for sure, on this site especially. I believe their dices are rigged, I lost many times there and I will never play their dices again. There are so good sites with great dices, people should play there if they wish to play not on this rigged site.
1175  Economy / Economics / Re: Who controls the market? on: October 05, 2018, 10:46:24 AM
Most of the people don't care if a currency is decentralized or not and don't what it means too. They are just interested to make profits, no matter how. They jump on the new flower of the month, invest some cash and sit down until the flower blooms.
How it works, or what it is exactly doesn't matter to them
Oh, no. Most people care about it, that's the reason why there are some new coins created and created, but in reality everyone knows that everything good (in this situation - decentralyzed coin, it's good) gets abused because people are very greedy or can't just shut up.
On another hand, I agree you.

Nope, the majority doesn't give a damn or is too stupid to really comprehend the notion, otherwise, you would not see Ripple or EOS being a top coin or ICO waves one after the other.
The average "investor" doesn't have a clue what all those really mean, they only care about how much people are talking about it and how much $ the "dev team" is lying promising in returns.

Be serious, look at the average poster here on bitcointalk...[ANN][ICO]HoweyCoins: the only BitcoinTalk-endorsed ICO - GUARANTEED PROFIT

I cannot but agree more with what you have said. The truth here is that people tend to look at the surface, and they are just like a light paper being blown around like wind and what most people care about today is how they want to make huge profit in a very short term and then really do not understand what is important to know in the space before even getting in and that is why like you said, you really will see people asking if they should be investing in XRP or ETH? Grin As long as the market is highly speculative, people still do not see the main reason why they should be investing in terms of usage in the long run, they just won't get it.
Market is highly speculated cause of all of us who are speculating. Fair answer on question who controls the market is all of us, the ones who have more money have a bit more control than others, especially if they created a groups and they trade together, their trades can move a market a lot. Who controls the media can control people who looks at surface, there are a lot of this people and thats we have panic selling or even panic buying, usually in wrong time and usually this people lose money. Fair answer is that each of us have some affect on market, no matter how small it is, we are all involved.
1176  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The best way to profit in cryptocurrency on: October 05, 2018, 07:47:39 AM
what do you think Huh
Which one has more profits and benefits, With less risk?
Investing on ico?
Trading?
Airdrop and bounty program?

Please leave your comments


Depend your skill, tools and money and for this one only you know the right answer. People choice will not same with you but we all have the same reason, profit. Many people start with airdrop or bounty program, this is not too difficult and free. Next step is invest on ICO project or direct into trading on crypto market. Chose the simple way for you and already prepare for the worst, good luck to you.
The best way to make money in crypto trading is to take right decisions on the right time. Wrong decision on the right time or right decision on the wrong time will not favor you and you will lose your investment. That’s why it is called difficult task. Trading is not easy but those who have experience of trading can make thousands of dollars in this rough situation.
With so many projects out there you cant say what is better. Sometimes airdrop brings more money than some investment, some bounties can be very profitable, much more than trading, and all that with much less risks. Airdrop and bounties are like a job, you can earn a lot of tokens if you can make videos, if you have some blog with a lot of followers, twitter, linked. Trading is risky and I think you cant compare trading with bounty programs that are like a job, profit you get from one thing or another depends from many factors. Wrong decisions can have a great impact on your bankroll when it comes to trading, with bounties and airdrops you do some work, you are paid for that, there arent so many risks involved, except that project is zero and brings you zero profit, but the time is only thing you lost.

Are there any new developments with this project? We didn't have news for a while now? Is November 23 final date now?
Looks like they take a break on twitter too. I`m checking them from time to time, but looks like they are still on summer vocation. 23. November is the date on their site, I think there would be some announcements about changes, I hope they didn`t abandon project.
@drmasa
Yes , our ICO ends November 23.
KYC is mandatory only for 10k usd and bigger contributions.

@Barbut
Part of our team took some short vacation, spend some time with their beloved. We are working with full capacity now.
We will have news and announcements about our progress in days to come. For start we will add more members in our team, cause our weakest link was that there weren’t enough hours in the day.
We are working hard on Alpha development also. Keep in mind that we are not building just a website , Alpha will look almost like a fully functional Platform with lots of options.
So , dont worry , we will not abandon Smart Trip Platform at any cause. Our idea is unique and we will put much more efforts to accomplish success.

Its great to hear that you are working with full capacity now. Its strange that some of the team members took vocation in the middle of the ico, but who am I to judge about that. I am waiting to see that alpha version, we talked about that months ago. Looks like we need to wait to see whats unique about that, or maybe you will share something with us here.
1178  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Day trading, the very beginning on: October 04, 2018, 04:43:18 PM
Ok guys, so i made conclusion. It's better option to start learning after that swing trading, keep learning and after that day trading, its sounds like the most healthy way.
Learning and investing money or time or both is healthy way. You need to have with what to day trade, more of that you have more easier day trading can be for you, easier in the way that you will be able to allow your self to make a mistake. We all make mistakes, but not all of us have a back up plan. Big traders never sell everything they have, nor they buy everything they can, they do both in well chosen time. How important timing is you can see everywhere, who did something first or last is a big difference. Learn and do what you need to do to make you amounts in all coins and currencies grow, when they grow enough you can start with trading.
1179  Economy / Speculation / Re: Hodl or sell right now ? on: October 04, 2018, 10:07:23 AM
Hold or sell ? Thats a hard one cuz bitcoin has dropped a lt lately , this year has dropped a lot , more than ever. Almost all of the coins dropped this year a lot . But still my opinion is to hold your coins as much as you can cuz there will come a time when all of the coins will go up and you will make a lot of profits then.
Its not hard one, if its dropped why would you sell and lose money? If almost all coins dropped than selling now would be cutting loses, and when ever you cut loses with crypto you will have one big problem, thats losing money. Its hard to be smart and strong in this times, when market is going down more than its going up. You cant compare this last 6 months with previous years, but not every year is easy and fruitful, be smart and do whats best for you, and selling crypto isn`t that, you could just look up and take a look on comment above yours, you will see that its moment for buying, not selling!

I have been reading many reports in the press that (Bitcoin) Cryptocurrency is dead, does anyone have any ideas why we are witnessing such a crash as is currently taking place, I feel the banks are doing all they can to unsettle prospective users of bitcoin so they retain the monopoly. I am now seeing twitter alive with people giving away coins etc, what are you doing with yours?

Selling Up

Holding On

if you can do a yes or no we can have a little poll for a couple of days

Stop your stupid exploration from social media’s and other sites because noob like you are easily to become affected by this kind of news and besides listening to hearsay proves how stupid you are.crypo Currency will remain or stay alive until the day you died dude so stop this nonsense
They will never stop with spreading stupidity. Many times we have seen threads about famous reports about bitcoin end, but still nobody saw them, bitcoin and entire cryptomarket is growing every year. I support your comment Carlisle1, maybe we can stop this spam by criticizing  people who are stupid enough to believe in this stories, I agree with you about one more thing, bitcoin and some other coins will outlive us, I believe in that, its made to last.
