1161  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the price of Bitcoin hit 12 to 13k end of this year? on: November 09, 2018, 05:00:21 PM
It is hard to predict price but bitcoin as a master can easy go to 12k buy end of this year. I am realistic and not romantic that where i see the price. What price you predict btc will be by end of year.
No one can accurately predict how far bitcoin will go before end of this year but $12000 and $13000 is still very possible.  I have been bullish on bitcoin and therefore I think bitcoin will appreciate in some days to come.  I was telling my friend that bitcoin may go as high as $10,000 before end of this year but he disagree with me.  I think we are at the ranging trend currently because for the past one week bitcoin has been within $6200 to $6500 and that is a sign that breakouts is about to occur.  We should keep all fingers cross and see what happens next.
I think 99.99% of people here expect what you say will happen. Bear market lasted nearly a year and everyone was tired of it. A miracle for Christmas?
No one here that did not expect bullish trend and that is why bitcoin is not going below $6000.  Another reason I think bull run should commence now is that most of the people that are ready to sell bought bitcoin above $10,000 or minimum $8000.
1162  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: In this trading battle which side are you? on: November 09, 2018, 08:55:04 AM
bull run
I really hope for next year's bull run However I am worried that the number of altcoins on offer will have an impact on the bitcoin market itself so that prices will decrease or even bull run
 Undecided
You are right and it seems the next bull run will commence next year.  I think the bull will have the day base on the ways the trend is going.  Bitcoin going down to $3000 is not in sight right now but in this market all things are possible.  I even came across a speculations that bitcoin is heading toward $50,000 before December ! I don't think this is possible as the level bitcoin can go this year should be above $10,000.


ln the big picture most of us wants the bullrun to come but there are some of us who wants the market to stay as is until they can accumulate more for profit when bullrun comes. The rest of those who owns altcoins are hoping to see btc breakouts  for profit, who wouldn't want that? Until there are people  still selling at such low price, it won't break.
Many people/traders are doing good money in this time of a bearish trend because right now, there's a higher volatility that makes traders more profitable but of course its more risky. Panicking is hard to stop, people are keep on selling even if they lose big money. Hopefully to see a great run in the remaining months of 2018, so we welcome the new year with a great hope.

Traders, is having a hard time to timing the market some are making money but most of them are just losing. If you afford to take the risk, much better but if you are confident about yourself or your trading skills, better to hold and don't monitor the market much of your time.
The hard time come to those that cannot forecasts the market very well and the traders that has allowed the loses to run too much.  Remember that in trading you makes money from both side and it depends on the side you  are.  Those that are holding USD against bitcoin are making money and those that keeps holding bitcoin can hold for long until the market recover again.
1163  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Crypto-marketing died because of Bounties on: November 09, 2018, 07:36:27 AM
So it looks like almost all crypto marketing services in the BTT world are Bounty focused.

Community Management is pretty worthless without a community -- and not many are really running a successful community growth operation without a Bounty.

Now - investors are starting to share that they will NOT get involved in ICOs or projects that are using bounties as a means of community growth because it almost always leads to a heavy southeast asia group that has no intentions of buying and looking to dump the airdrop/bounty coins at the first second they get.

The more established crypto marketing groups are still only offering PR services at ridiculously high prices, along with their "miracle growth" processes for 100k telegram users in 3 days. And people swear its organic. LOL

Where are the other options? Why dont we see better/more affordable email campaigns? 

I feel like the bounty way of working has stolen a lot of innovation and substituted rocket growth for organic growth

My group succeeds because we specifically DONT focus on bounties as a growth strategy.

We need to collectively focus on quality and education marketing or the entire industry will continue to have this negative stigma associated with get-rich-quick schemes
I think you are trying to make a point and of a truth, bounty is not promoting project as it ought to be as many of the participants always dumped at the exchange and create in the mind of traders bad sign that the projects is not worth investing. Email marketing also have it own advantage and disadvantages in promoting cryptocurrency.  We are at the time when the two can go hand in hand and I think the best way to still reach cryptocurrency investors still remains through bounty. 
1164  Economy / Securities / Re: Should ICOs be considered a Security? on: November 09, 2018, 07:06:49 AM
After the surge in Bitcoin's value early 2014, we saw an idea being popped up and went crazy for all those small-scale startups to start their projects with the help of crowdfunding - a way where people buy their tokens to support their project if they find it interesting. Unlike IPO (which is regulated by many Authorities before getting launched, and seeks investors only), ICOs are totally different as most of them were* not regulated and many startups used to be just ideas - fake ideas which never got fulfilled and people lose both their trust and money behind such a graceful innovation which could give some real ideas a boost if there is any BODY to find whether the intentions of these ICOs' devs and admins is to really deliver their promises to their potential customers. I saw many ICOs were shit and gained too much of investments, many even ran away and due to them, members here and at other social websites suffered for their time and efforts (many were bots so it's a 50-50 situation where many users try to fake it out by scamming the projects by fake-fully trying to show that they are helping the project by advertising for them). Many got nothing - neither tokens nor replies from the ICO people. So, my question here is - should such ICOs be given the label of "Securities" which would give them more of a credibility to invest in them? If yes, will there ever be a Regulatory Body to measure the assurance of delivery of the project and whether the project is anywhere going to deal with blockchain?

* - (used "were" because many came and gone as there were no regulations before, and in few countries - still no regulations are there for such crowdfunding)
Crowdfunding should be considered as a must safe ways of raising fund for icos projects but the projects Owners and teams are full of scam and fraudulent.  I find many projects coming out daily but half of those icos and projects are scam and people are scared of investing in cryptocurrencies and icos projects.  I believe that in future the Crowdfunding system will be well reposition and good security projects will come out because we need them to checkmate the activities of scams projects.
1165  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Recommendations for good exchanges on the smaller side? on: November 08, 2018, 02:40:58 PM
Hello Everybody,

Been using Bitcointalk for a while as a guest, but decided to take the plunge and signup... so first time poster. Any suggestions for good exchanges outside of the really big ones? I've used COSS a few times, but just wondering if anybody has found any gems or any recommendations for exchanges on the smaller side? Particularly ones with good service/community engagement.


To me must of the exchange platforms we have available are not much different from each and I think we should look at them base on volumes and used.  I do used binance and cryptopia and there are very OK for me.  If you really want to go into trading or investment I don't think the exchange platforms should be much concerned but the idea and knowledge on how to invest profitabily should be the most concerned.
Remember that the more you stay in this bitcointalk forum the more you learn anything about cryptocurrencies market and exchange platform. I believe that if I am not here I could have lose my fund to scam exchange sites and icos projects.
1166  Economy / Speculation / Re: People are Calm!! on: November 08, 2018, 01:54:27 PM
People are calm, but slowly some of us are loosing their cool. With the increasing number of crypto scams, few countries putting a ban on crypto currencies and the stagnant price of BTC at 6-7k mark, it has been a tough and tiring year for Bitcoiners!! I mean last year was fun, with bitcoin hitting 20k. I wonder when BTC will stand up again and bring back the glorious days. Hoping for the best.. Cheers
It will become a holy grail if bitcoin keep going up the way it is last year and this year prove to us that bitcoin is a really assets and if we can treat it as a very important assets there is no way we would not make money from it.  In blockchain technology we would find financial freedom from the kind of of fraudulent system we have before and we should expect that governments and those big financial institutions are not going to fold there hands to see that kind of system move smoothly.
We should not think that this year low is a dump but we should see it as a big corrections that is going to clear ways for the next bullish trend.
1167  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustadice – Next Generation Dice on: November 08, 2018, 07:28:47 AM
bustadice and bustabit are both owned by myself and share some code. I'm not in dispute with BetKing and Dean doesn't owe me anything. Since it doesn't affect bustadice I kindly ask you to discuss it in a more appropriate thread.
A very nice response. Now that you are one of the trusted members in this forum and Bustadince has establish itself in the heart of many of us here because of your sincerity and hard work I believe bustabit is going to also become great in future.  I came across it for the first time and I am heading to the site to find opportunities over there.  May you be increase sir.
1168  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which coins or tokens will be profitable within this month? on: November 08, 2018, 07:00:18 AM
Now all most coins or tokens are too low. So i decide to buy some coins but i don't take proper decision which coins will be too much profitable within this month? Please comment below with your opinions.
Thanks in advance           
There are some new coins and tokens that has started appreciating and those coins are good if Ayou can buy them from exchange now and holds them for long-term.  I think we should be able to find out some coins that are doing well now and are good for investment at http://coinmarketcap.com.
many investors are taking advantage of coins like dav,  EOS, neo, fuel and tron to make money in future as the forgoing coins has  good teams and technology behind them.  If you actually want to makes money you have to buy now that there price is cheap.
You don't have to look for too many coins, if you invest in bitcoin then you can get 10% profit within this month which is not bad at all. If you invest $1000 then you your profit would be $100..
We have other coins that op can invest his fund in especially those that has large market capitalization if he or she is afraid of new coins.  Coins like litecoin,  wave,  zcash and ripple are some of the coins that we can invest with confident.
In my opinion XRP has potential to going up more to another 3 times untill in the end of this year because alot of good news about partnership with big company. Others coin is XLM, ZEC, and ADA because will listed on Coinbase.
You can also long for those good coins on the above listed coins also.  Note that the future is going to be better than today and we should take risks and buy as much as we could now.
1169  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin falls below $ 6300 on: November 08, 2018, 06:38:40 AM
Wednesday, October 10: the cryptographic markets have had a sharp drop in one hour, Bitcoin (BTC) falling below $ 6300,
It will recover up
It has recovered up and that is the beauty of this market.  It creates opportunity for both the buyers and sellers to be able to make trading decision every time. To buy at that level and sell when it get up is what makes you a wise trader. However,  the uncertainty in the market is high and that makes it very difficult for those that bought bitcoin above $10,000 to build confident and invest again.  But I strongly believe that in future bitcoin is going to appreciate again and by then you have to sell above whatever price you have purchased.
1170  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Don't forget to be more Patience - Hold more coins on: November 07, 2018, 05:27:30 PM
Holding g is one of the major ways of making money from cryptocurrencies market and I believe in what you said . Those that have make it big in this market are those that buy coins when it is low and sell them when there are high no matter the time it takes.  Remember that in January 2015 many people thought that cryptocurrencies market is dead but those that were able to buy then and hold up till last year and sold are now billionaires and millionaires in they local currency.
1171  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Where can blockchain help to tackle fraud and prevent scams? on: November 07, 2018, 01:14:56 PM
Found this article about how blockchain can tackle fraud in the seafood industry. It made me wonder, where else could the blockchain help to tackle fraud and help to prevent scams etc?  

http://cryptofinance24.com/something-is-fishy-on-the-blockchain-how-the-blockchain-is-reducing-seafoo-p382-171.htm
In all sectors of our economic,  blockchain technology can help in solving the most dreadful human problem (fraud or scam) . Many of us get it difficult to invest into cryptocurrencies because of the fraudulent activity been promoted on the internet but if we study blockchain technology very well we would find out that it is transparent and decentralized.
If the banking system and the financial institutions we have can solve human problem and kick scam and fraud from it no one will be talking about blockchain technology in solving our financial problems but it cannot,  in fact the greatest fraud is been done in the banks andgovernments. 
1172  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: It can be useful on: November 07, 2018, 11:30:55 AM
I want to share some trading tips for the beginner, use the moving average in the trade and use the candlestick. First set moving average 12 and 21 and follow Candle pattern. Moving average 21 crosses to verify the market trend. When the candle closes by crossing moving average 12. Find out if the candle closes below under moving average 21 and find out the sell. Hopefully, a profitable trade is possible if you trade in a completely formal manner.
It will really help and I will said we really need to put this in practice before using the strategy with real money.  I have learned one thing in trading and that is another person strategies do not work for me. Candlesticks formation has been one of strategies that people used to make money from the market.
1173  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading exchange platform on: November 07, 2018, 05:45:19 AM
As an investor, what should I look for in selecting the most ideal exchange platform?
For an idea exchange platforms the following should be look on:
1.Security. The first thing I do look on in any exchanges that I want to transfer fund in is how secure it is.  Many investors has lost their investments capitals through unsecured exchange . If you are an investors then security should be your first concern.
2. Volume: You need to know and compared the volume because it creates liquidity.  I do buy some coins and at the end cannot sell them because of low volume.  I prefer binance and hitbtc because of volume.
3. Fees.  The fees should also be one of the things you should look on to before investing.  Many exchange especially the old one still retain they trading fees and this do affects the cost of trading.
4.Rate at coins marketcap.  I also look at the rate of exchange platforms on coins marketcap. This enabled me to be able to know the performance of those exchange over time.
Investments, is very risky and you should not go into it without adequate knowledge on how trading work and how to trade profitabily.
1174  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I'm A Professional Trader, Here's My Strategy on: November 06, 2018, 08:04:48 PM
No, I wouldn't use trading bots right now. At the minute the market is still moving sideways rather than trending. Most, if not all, of the different trading strategies that can be coded into bots DO NOT work when the market is moving sideways. They only work when it's trending like it was last year and in previous years.

If I were you, I'd either learn how to trade the market in it's current condition's or wait for a new trend to begin and then use one of the bots.

It's probably better to learn to how to trade now to be honest. There's no way to know (for sure) when the next trend will begin, or if it will begin at all, so you could be waiting a long time to make money. If you start learning how to trade the current conditions then at least you can make some money whilst you wait for the next trend to begin.

Hope this helps, Fray.


Yes,  you have really tell the truth about bots.  Most of the bots can predict market directions when it is in side ways movement and not ranging market.  I bought a bot during my forex trading and it lose money and since then I decided to trade myself.  Trading is emotions no matter how we tried to keep it out of it.  Since it deals with human mind we must therefore bring human judgement and decisions if we really want to makes money from it.
If we can spend time developing our skills and knowledge on how trading work there is no way we would not make money from the market.  Stop spending money on bot and follow op advice on this and in no time you will have confidence on your trading decision.
1175  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bull run will come, just hodle and stay positive! on: November 06, 2018, 07:38:52 PM
At this very crucial and difficult moments of cryptocurrency, it's not time to give up what has been established for years. Our dedicated is required here in order for all of us to become successful. When we acquire success, of course it's not an easy road to travel or walk with. There it comes many challenges to test our integrity and capabilities, so as we move forward with it our courage, faith, patience and more that what we can give in order to survive is really a definite solutions in order to suppress the current bull trap. Just stay calm, the bull run is going to come soon. Always stay positive no matter what happens, just keep holding your asset and don't dump it just for nothing.
To me the state of the market is not too bad that we should give up.  As a matter of fact no one were able to accurately predicts were the market was last year December.  When we were saying that bitcoin is going to go as high as $10,000 around September last year many said this is not possible but in December it goes as higher as $19000.  The current state is still bullish to long term investors. 
The bulls started the hunt? I think a fall is still possible in the near future, but then a prolonged rise in the price of cryptocurrency will begin.

What do you think are the most promising coins?
I think coins like ripple,  ethereum and litecoin are going to make significant progress in some months to come.  These coins are currently at the over sold area and I believe that there are going to rise in some days to come.
1176  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why BTC is under $8K? on: November 06, 2018, 07:08:42 PM
Now BTC is under $8K, do you have any opinions about this issue?
We think BTC will go uptrend to reach over $10K but it can be now.
There were serial of events that happened before we are seeing the current bearish situation.  Bitcoin has made a significant growth last year and the current popularity is having now was due to the bull of last year.  However,  it must made corrections as bitcoin cannot continue going up and likewise continuously going down.  We have to see the current market conditions as an opportunity to buy and sell maybe somewhere in 2020 or 2025.
1177  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to learn trading? on: November 06, 2018, 02:18:49 PM
I want to learn how to trade. If you want, then please give me some advices, tips etc. Links to all kinds of helpful information is also very good. Please don't write empty filler comments.

EDIT: I want to day trade and swing trade. I know about cryptocurrency, so I don't need information about that. I prefer not to tell my capital investment. I am already trading and almost all my investment is in bitcoin cash right now. I am basically looking for guidance on how to trade. I am not a complete beginner, but still very new in trading.
To trade you must learn technical and fundamentals analysis and the best place to do that is through practising.  You will never get the deep knowledge on candlesticks pattern except you practicing them. One of the place that you can get the best guidance is at babypip and forexstreet . I learned all the trading secret from those sites and information there are truth and any things you learn from those site you can actually praticalize them in cryptocurrencies market.
1178  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Selling signal for ETH. on: November 05, 2018, 07:09:18 PM
Hi! As we can see, ETH is collapsing, I got about 40 ETH which I bought for 450$, I know, that was mistake. Please give me advice, should I sell now or take a risk and do it when we reach 150$?
You only lose if you sell and I strongly believe that ethereum is going to recover in future.  We are too early in predicting continuously going down and not recover.  Ethereum was once selling above $1450 and if you buy at $450 is not a mistake or bad investments decision. You just need to keep holding in other to be able to sell above your purchase price.
There is no way you can accurately predicting ethereum or bitcoin price and the market move in your favor but it will always move in your favor if you can be patience and having a long term view in mind.

On 15th November there will be a hard fork of Bitcoin Cash.

The work will be supported by Binance and Coinbase - see links at the end - which is a very bullish.

BCH is already up 24% since the announcement.


There are still 9 days to go till the fork. From my point this looks like the historic moves / pumps in the good times last year.

Please make your own mind on this. But I think there is at least another 50% up to go.

Like you have rightly said this is a historical events and since we make money when bitcoin cash fork with bitcoin core in 1st of August last year I think we would see pump of bitcoin cash in days to come.  I will transfer some of my holding to binance in other to take advantage of this.
1180  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin trading or other business what do you choose? on: November 05, 2018, 04:52:09 PM
In the current digital era, many people are starting to trading Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency because they think Bitcoin trading is profitable from other businesses. Some people again say that business is more profitable than Bitcoin trading.
It depends on what we refer to as business!  You can also become a business man or woman using bitcoin and others cryptocurrencies.  Trading bitcoin should also be seeing as business except we are trying to treat it otherwise.  I remember from the beginning when I started trading forex and I have different mind in forex from business until my tutor told me that if I really want to succeed as a trader i have to treat it as business.
In my opinion, trading Bitcoin is always attractive to investors and includes me. Trading Bitcoin will be happy if you guess the right market and make a profit every day.
Using bitcoin for business makes things easier for us especially some of us that do international business.  In trading you can only makes profits by developing your knowledge and understanding on how the cryptocurrencies market work and once that is done you can now call yourself a millionaire as money is going to come to you on it own.
