121  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Altcoins not Growing These Days on: December 29, 2019, 03:52:05 AM
We must already admit that not all cryptocurrencies will grow in the future, most of the projects will simply leave the market

Most of these projects had just one purpose. And that was to make the promoters rich. And in most of the cases, the original purpose is realized. The promoters dumped most of their tokens after triggering the pump-and-dump cycles and in the end most of the tokens were left with the investors. The development stopped after the promoters made their exit. Now the investors have the useless tokens with them, and they can't sell these tokens as they have been delisted from the major exchanges.
This is what bothers me the most if all of those people left the market and they lost money then we will never hear from them again but they keep getting millions of dollars and the risk of getting prosecuted is minimal, with those kind of odds it is obvious they're going to keep coming back and they will keep scamming the people of this forum, but unfortunately they are ruining things for the few honest developers out there that want nothing but to help the market to develop.

I think that a good investor should soberly assess their capabilities and rationally use their capital to invest in the most promising cryptocurrencies and the most worthy new projects, because if we do not conduct the correct Technical analysis and make the choice in favor of bad projects, then this is not only a waste of investment  funds, but also a negative impact on the entire cryptocurrency market, since we encourage the development of bad projects and the reproduction of junk coins.
That is one of the hardest things to do, it is really difficult to tell how skilled you actually are in a particular discipline, if it was that easy then how we can explain the huge number of newbie traders that believe they are going to be the next success story in the market only to find out they were nothing but food to feed the whales? What makes successful investors a success is that they are always looking for flaws even on their own plans and when they find them they reject the idea and move to something else saving their capital from disaster.
123  Economy / Speculation / Re: The 2020 Next Bitcoin Halving vs The 2016 One on: December 29, 2019, 03:11:07 AM
Bitcoin saw its price jumped from $400 to $800 USD per coin during the 2016 halving. Can we expect the same for next year's BTC halving?

I've written a little article on the halving and need you guys to point out inaccuracies. Let's get ourselves pump and ready to rip the benefit (if there will be any).

https://www.cryptozink.io/what-is-bitcoin-halving-when-why-2020/
We cannot base our beliefs on a single data point, just because the price of bitcoin performed really well back then that does not mean the same will happen again, especially since it is way easier to go from 400 to 800 than it is to go from 7000 to 14000, people need to accept that as the price of bitcoin goes up it will have greater problems to keep growing as the money needed to make the price to go up increases as well, if you want to see that kind of performance during the halving then it could be a good idea to concentrate in altcoins instead.
124  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Daily Living on: December 29, 2019, 02:45:27 AM
I wish i could use my bitcoin in my daily expenses but unfortunately the marketplaces that operate in my country are not friendly to cryptocurrencies and so none accept it at the moment. I am hoping once the adoption of cryptocurrencies and bitcoin keep increasing they will get to understand things and modify their payment systems to accepting bitcoin.
While I am suffering the same problem as you we can at least raise the awareness of bitcoin by asking all the businesses in which we make a purchase if they have any plans to accept bitcoin in the future, and while the answer to that question is always another question like, what it is bitcoin? It is still necessary to ask the question since it is possible that some of those business owners decide to support the cryptocurrency just as we do on our own.
125  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are you holding Bitcoin? on: December 28, 2019, 04:18:05 AM
Holding is better in this fluctuations and yes even if their is a fall it is good time to buy more coins as you would be able to get coins at cheap rates . Also in coming time you would see the btc rise and this will help you to make money on investment .
In order for us not to keep on losing money we need to keep holding on it, even we do nothing , like trading or playing gamble with our bitcoin it still changing the price of it  , I think better to buy more bitcoins now! Or if you dont have more money better to keep holding it rather than selling and a sudden dump happen. If you buy bitcoin in $7500 last time then you have a $300 loss I think , so better to hold it now.
If you do not have an idea of how to trade the markets then your best chance of not losing as much money is to hold your coins, this is not easy at all when the market is going down, but think about this in this way, if you have been here before the crash of 2017 then it is really doubtful we are going to see another crash just as big, and if you are still here after that crash and you could hold your coins even in those difficult circumstances then anything that happens in the future cannot be as bad and you will have an easier time holding your coins this time around.
126  Economy / Economics / Re: Crimes involving crypto have risen on: December 28, 2019, 03:53:11 AM
It seems to me one of the usual propaganda statements made by those who have an interest in blocking the spread of crypto.
The crimes that can be committed with crypto can very well be committed even better with cash.
And anyway they are statements that cannot be contested, therefore they have no value.
While it is obvious I do not like that propaganda at the same time I understand it, the people in positions of power know very well they cannot stop bitcoin by any conventional means and they understand that at least they need to slow down the adoption of bitcoin to try to buy time until they can find a way to do stop bitcoin, but it is clear the hypocrisy on their words since all they accuse cryptocurrencies to allow happens at least 100 times in their system and they do not say anything about it.
127  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Reasons for traders to look at! on: December 28, 2019, 03:23:19 AM
I think the most important thing to become a trader is to control your emotions. Many new traders often let their emotions overwhelm and they often make the wrong decisions. If you have negative thoughts while trading, it is best to stop and resolve those emotions before returning to your trade.
While controlling your emotions is important to me that is the last step, after all to let your emotions affect your trading then you need to already be trading and that should not be possible until you get all the necessary skills to engage in the activity, so only after you have mastered all other aspects of trading you should worry about controlling your emotions, still it is a very important step because if you do not then nothing you have learned before will matter if you sell your coins if you panic.
128  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is This Why Bitcoin Suddenly Rebounded Yesterday? on: December 28, 2019, 02:28:41 AM
I think big miners will drop the price to $4,000 or less precisely to try to make small miners give up. So i don't think the cost of production has any relation with the last rebound

This is a classic move by monopolies, they can sustain losses for far longer than any small business driving them to sell their operations to them and then making the prices to go up again, and since they can do this at will then they can prepare for that scenario and store a lot of coins and prepare themselves and suppress the price for months and maybe even for a full year driving most small miners to bankruptcy while they laugh at us and our inability to comprehend what it is actually happening.
129  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: hold or sell? help me on: December 27, 2019, 04:56:44 AM
It is already too late to sell in such a market, so it is necessary to hold now and if possible to buy perspective coins in the market.
You are making the assumption that whatever coins that the OP bought are going to eventually recover but he made himself very clear that he bought coins that were in the ico stage and it is very likely that the coins that he bought are no good at all and are never going to recover, in my opinion the only option that people like him have is to get rid of those coins immediately and get whatever he can out of those coins before they crash all the way to zero.
130  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin STILL Good Investment? (Think Again) on: December 27, 2019, 04:34:18 AM
That is why everyone expects when Bitcoin will rise in price by at least a third.  If today we have $ 7,000, then the best investment is for a period until Bitcoin rises to $ 10,000.
People keep getting in trouble for this kind of expectations, we do not control how the bitcoin market moves, what would you do if the price of bitcoin reaches 9900 dollars and you keep waiting for the price of bitcoin to reach 10000 and then it crashes all the way back to 3000? I do not agree at all with people that have those kind of fixed expectations of the market, in my case I take whatever the market gives me regardless of whether the profit is high or low.
131  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is the day trading profitable ? on: December 27, 2019, 04:05:52 AM
I am prepared myself for trading. But i need some suggetions from here. There are many way for trading in cryptocurrency. But i need correct one which is profitabe. I am prepared myself for day trading. Is it profitabe?
All forms of trading are profitable, that is not really the question, the question is if you have the necessary skills in order to obtain profits from those forms of trading, I will be direct with you day trading is by far the most difficult way to obtain profits in the market but it is also the most profitable, this is what brings many traders to try their luck with day trading, but even if you were profitable you need to understand the huge level of complexity and difficulty that entails and most likely at the moment you do not have what it is necessary to obtain profits from day trading.
This is a matter of fact that there are traders who do best in day trading and on the contrary there are others who secure big profits in long term trading. So in short no type of trading is good or bad, it is how you deal them and what your skills are regarding the type of trading. Of course if short but constant profit is desired, going for short term is great but if otherwise is desired, go for long term trading.
Which is why I have chosen long term trading as my favourite way to trade the markets, without a doubt there are day traders out there that can make a lot more money than what I have made with my system, but to me that doesn't matter because the profits that I can generate come from only watching the markets each day a few minutes while the profits that they generate come from watching the markets almost obsessively every single day with no rest and that is something that I do not want to do.
132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Time for YouTube to vanish ... on: December 27, 2019, 03:21:11 AM
YouTube is loosing quickly !!!

Have you seen what goes on with the Crypto Youtube channels?
They getting blocked and deleted by YouTube in masses....


THIS IS THE MOMENT FOR AMP SYNEREO HYPERSPACE  !!!

....we should take that chance to decentralize that space for us!
So are you saying that all users on YouTube are crypto lovers? If crypto channels are wipe off YouTube they aren't going to vanish, there are other things that are big on YouTube like gamers

You don't have to use Youtube for that, there is twitch and several others. Google can only hurt itself by going too draconian. Still, its their service, they can do with it whatever they want. If you give your content to them, you have to accept the consequences.

Not sure if p2p streaming will ever take off, many attempts have been made but they don't seem to catch on. People are too complacent to centralized services. They are even willing to fork money for them.

Oh and if your life depends on youtube, did it ever occurred to you that youtube might disappear tomorrow? Same with other centralized service. I remember warning people that Microsoft instant messenger would someday disappear, they didn't believe me, and now its long gone, all msn contacts lost, only a puny amount went into skype (which sucks even more).
Similar to what it is happening with fiat currencies in which governments are the ones that are bringing the most damage to their currency and their economies, the one that can damage YouTube the most is Google by becoming too restrictive about what you can upload to their servers, and just like what it is happening with bitcoin our best bet is that a decentralized YouTube eventually becomes popular and Google and YouTube will have to begin to worry about being replaced by this new platform.
133  Economy / Speculation / Re: Two Years Ago, Bitcoin Was Over $19,000 — What Happened? on: December 27, 2019, 02:58:58 AM
Well back then it was hype and FOMO. Not all that bought in knew what they're dealing with. Just the hope of making big easy money. Now, after what happened in 2018, people see bitcoin differently. I think it'll be hard to get the same people to jump into another FOMO like that. That's why unless whales start a drastic pump, I don't think we'll have the same movement anytime soon.

So you mean that bitcoin halving will have no impact on the start of the next bull run. Also even if those people do not rebuy, don't you think we have new investments both individual and institutional which is another reason why bitcoin should be moving up always. Back in time 2017, there were very less awareness of bitcoins as it is now, so more people should jump in the train this time around.
People only concentrate themselves on the aspects that they think will bring greater adoption in the future for bitcoin, but just as there is a lot of awareness about what bitcoin achieved back in the day there is also a great degree of awareness of what happened after 2017, the great crash that followed that historical bull run is a memory that anyone that was in the market back in those days will never forget and it is one of the biggest obstacles for the next bull run.
134  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum: Sinking ship or Sleeping Giant? on: December 26, 2019, 05:09:46 AM
I’ve been into Bitcoin since 2014. It’s always been my main thing, however I’ll admit I got swept up in the 2017 cycle and got burned on quite a few projects. I eventually consolidated back to 100% bitcoin.

Now I find myself in a situation where I really believe in Ethereum as the only other viable project. I’ve been accumulating Ether to the point where now I’m 80% BTC, 10% Eth and, 10% USDC (prepared to buy more BTC when the time is right).

I’m preparing for Eth 2.0 staking. I see all the Defi projects built on Eth. The stablecoins, the ecosystem. If Eth fell, it would bring a huge chunk of the crypto market down with it. So for this reason, I can’t see ethereum really disappearing. It’s the only crypto that I’ve actually used (I bought something with USDC, an ERC-20 token).

That said, I am concerned about those stolen $100million in Eth. That can depress the value of Eth for years. I’m concerned about the constant hard forking, the constant delay of Eth 2.0, and the general amateurish feeling of the project. I hate that Vitalik, and the ethereum foundation dumped their bags on people at the ATH.

Part of me wants to just sell my Eth for BTC and not look back. Another part of me wants to keep buying Eth as it goes down.

Any intelligent insights on this forum? Not a pissing match, not a shitcoin shill session. Just honest feelings about Ethereum from other veterans in the space.
Besides bitcoin the only other coin that I'm watching is ethereum and that is because I have a very strong feeling that at some point in the future ethereum is going to wake up and give once again amazing profits, but if you do not feel like taking your chances then it is OK to just keep your current portfolio in which 10% is dedicated to it, that way if it crashes then you're not going to be that affected by it and if it goes up then you are not completely left out and you still obtain some profits.
135  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: there are still many who invest in cryptocurrency? on: December 26, 2019, 04:51:56 AM
Without a doubt investing in this market is a very wise decision, there are still many people that have doubts about the future of cryptocurrencies in general but we know bitcoin and several other altcoins will eventually be the future and will be used all around the world, it will take time but taking into account the conditions of the economy and fiat currencies in general to me this is just a matter of time, and when that happens we are going to be able to tell that we were part of this ecosystem before it became popular.
All of us are afraid of losing money but the problem is there are people who cannot manage very well the fear of losing money. I also afraid to lose money but I can handle the fear, even though the cryptocurrencies are high risk investment; I still patronizing it due to the potential rewards that I can get. Investing is good decision but we should make sure that we know what we are doing.
While many people focus themselves on trying to find the perfect strategy of when to enter and went to get out of the market the truth is that one of the most important factors when it comes to becoming an effective trader or investor is to be able to dominate your fear and your greed, if you are incapable of something as simple as this then it doesn't matter how good you think you could be as a trader because you're never going to reach your goal of making money in the markets with those psychological flaws.
136  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Coins with potential to x100? on: December 26, 2019, 03:43:34 AM
Im looking to invest in some coins where its possible to x100 its current price

I invest currently in:
ETH
NEO
ADA
XLM

Each of which is unlikely to x100
ADA / XLM such a huge supply i dont think its possible

ETH / NEO i just cant see ever reaching $100,000 / $10,000

Any thoughts?
Was thinking maybe WAVES but theres a long term gamble and its still early days for it
Ether is my best pick because that ether have potentials to goes up the price x100 because as we can see in the past years will bubble the price. So maybe soon ether will goes up again and double the price that the ether price past years. And also good the coins that you mention sir buylt my best pick is ether and i want to keep them and wait for the right time.
Do you actually believe that ethereum can go up in price 100x in the future? We need to be serious here, the only coins that can give those kind of profits are the ones that have market caps below ten million dollars, a coin like ethereum which has so much money invested in it and which is so popular does not have that potential anymore, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is a bad investment because it is entirely possible that during the next decade it gives 10x and those are great profits if you ask me.
137  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it possible to double capital in 2 months? on: December 26, 2019, 03:22:02 AM
If you know what you are doing and have a knowledge then do trading and you knoe that there's a risk and chance of losing your money and not just double but triple your profit if you have bougt the right and timing to trade.

That's why you need to research on which is the best crypto to buy or do trade to make a lot of profit and also depend on how much money you will invest.
This kind of thinking is what gets people in trouble, they believe that they can make that kind of money in a very fast way and that is simply not true unless you are willing to take ridiculous risks that will most likely make your strategy look a lot more like gambling than any investment strategy, it is simply not possible to double your money while taking reasonable risks and anyone that thinks so should leave this market because this market is not really for them.
138  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How did you start trading? on: December 24, 2019, 04:29:16 AM
Hello traders!  

I would like to know how you started trading? Any interesting articles,
videos or guides that you found helpful before you started?
Can you share your opinions and experiences please?


I don't watch many videos about trading, because all of those videos don't really cover all the implications. We should read more about trading methods and capital management from the beginning, it will be a good foundation for us in the future. But you need to understand one thing, this trade is not easy to master. We need to pay the price for our mistakes in the beginning, that amount can go up to thousands of dollars if you join and don't keep your head cool. I used to be the one who got hit badly by the market and I realize that new traders like you need to learn the best possible capital management before trading.
Watching some YouTube videos can be a good idea especially when you are starting out but I have always find out that if you really want to learn how to trade you have no option but to start reading books, some may think that this is kind of old fashioned but it isn't after all when you went to school most of the knowledge that you got was from reading books and it is completely natural that when it comes trading that is the right way to learn as well.
139  Economy / Economics / Re: Malaysia to Limit Cash Transactions in 2020 on: December 24, 2019, 04:06:23 AM
Personally, I strongly support Malaysia's plan, cash transactions really need to be reduced to make efficiency in transactions.  cash is an old concept, I have started using online transactions in various important activities such as buying daily necessities, buying gasoline and paying bills, in addition to greatly facilitating me, I can also monitor how much I spend money every month.
Just because something is new doesn't necessarily mean that it is better, cash is a very old concept and that should prove how good it is, governments are without a doubt trying to get people to move to digital transactions and that is because they can monitor their citizens in a very effective way and that is precisely why cash is still necessary in this day and age where privacy is almost nonexistent because most people are not ready to adopt cryptocurrencies yet.
140  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Highly Unlikely To Nose Dive To $5k Right Now, Analyst on: December 24, 2019, 03:32:40 AM
Crypto-trader and Blockroots co-founder, Josh Rager, believes it is highly unlikely we will see bitcoin price nosedive straight to $5k. Whilst he doesn’t rule out a drop to this level, in his opinion “there would be bounces in between.”

https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-highly-unlikely-to-nose-dive-to-5k-right-now-analyst/
And since when any asset has a tendency to go directly from one price to the other? Anyone that has ever taken a look at a chart knows that the price does not move in a straight line, it moves up a little bit and then it moves down a little bit as well as people are trying to discover what it is the fair price of bitcoin which is a never ending process, so this is not really too much of a prediction since anyone could have predicted something like that.
