121  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: ATTENTION POTENTIAL SCAM! http://bitcointalkaccounts.com/ on: November 07, 2017, 03:18:02 PM
isn't buying accounts frowned upon and helps facilitate scams? It is nice of you OP for outing them out, but the buyers deserve to be cheated as most of them will scam with them accounts anyway.
122  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: STRONGCOIN.COM - WARNING! on: November 07, 2017, 01:12:36 PM
mmm, never heard of strongcoin.com but thanks a lot for the wallet, most wallets however allows the user to set their own fees, you should check and see if they have something similar or find a way to reach the owner. good luck..
123  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you buying altcoins on: November 07, 2017, 09:59:24 AM
I used to buy a lot of alts but I stopped recently as I am not seeing any profits. Most of the coins in my portfolio are in red. I have decided to put my extra income into bitcoin to see how far the current run goes.
124  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did you guys read this story about a guy who lost $30K Bitcoin... on: November 07, 2017, 07:37:21 AM
I thought it was a great story, because once i started reading it, I could not stop!

It is a very sad story but also an all too familiar one. I have lost a couple of wallet passwords myself by being careless. But now I make sure that never happens. What was worth $10 to me back in the day is now over $200.

You should use offline wallets. I use paper wallets to store ninety percent of my coins and I have never had a problem with them. I keep a small percentage on Mycelium or android and so far so good.
126  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have u tried any lending ICO yet? on: November 07, 2017, 01:19:33 AM
Useful thread, the big question though is if lending platforms make profits or do they run at a loss. As far as I know most bitcoin peer to peer lending sites have been a big failure due to the inability of most to recover debts owed them.
127  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ENJIN a scam??? on: November 07, 2017, 12:16:01 AM
Enjin is a massive project, or at least seems to be one. It wouldn't be the first time a project is ripping another projects whitepaper or ideas.It does not necessarily make them a scam, but I wouldn't rule that out either. This is a very tough one to call.
128  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Any good ICO to buy in Nov? on: November 06, 2017, 12:53:06 PM
Hello,
I'm looking to invest in good ico launching in Nov, suggest me ico which are worthy to buy.

Indahash seems to be a good project to invest in. With an already existing business platform, that was doing well before the ico launch, I feel they will only do better with more investment.
129  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where are you all holding your Bitcoin for the fork? on: November 06, 2017, 11:00:02 AM
In my wallet, where else? Ever since the first fork, my instincts is to hold them myself rather than use an exchange. I have always felt fear keeping my coins in an exchange because you never know when they will go rogue.
130  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have you make money from ICO? on: November 05, 2017, 09:36:34 AM
I have made a little here and there from joining signature and bounty campaigns, But profits from the actual ico is yet to come. The reason could be that it takes time for the company to make profits just like every other business. I am still waiting.
131  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tezos Founders Sued for Securities Fraud in Potential Class Action on: November 05, 2017, 05:17:20 AM
I expect to see for class action suits filed against many icos in the not too distant future. They may claim these monies they collect are contributions but in my opnion they must still answer to the contributors/investors/shareholders. The ICO scene needs major overhaul and must be regulated.
132  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: How safe are my bitcoin on blockchain.info? on: November 04, 2017, 08:44:21 PM
I have used it for a couple of years now with no major problems. Is it fool proof safe? I doubt it, but so far so good for me. I keep only what I have to spend in a short time online, so it isnt a major worry for me.
133  Economy / Speculation / Re: $10.000 = 1BTC on New Year? on: November 04, 2017, 06:35:58 PM
What will be a bitcoin rate by new year?

the market loves a round number, ten thousand dollar for one bitcoin is possible, and there is also a chance it could sell below seven thousand dollars for one bitcoin. whatever happens henceforth, its been a very good year for bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.
134  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "The Real Bitcoin" on: November 04, 2017, 02:07:38 PM
I understand your concerns OP, but there is only one bitcoin. at least for now. Why will people choose the new coin over the real one? All these forks are creating new coins that will compete with each other and kill themselves off when they become too much, while the original copy chugs along nicely.
135  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Price drop? on: November 04, 2017, 09:57:53 AM
The price is never constant. The up and down flow is all part of the deal. How can traders trade if the price only goes up? believe me, somebody somewhere is happy and knows how to work it when there is a drop in price.
136  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin again down? on: November 03, 2017, 03:24:48 PM
People need to understand that the volatile nature of bitcoin is all part and parcel of holding and owning some. Panicking when the price plummets is a no no. Not saying it will increase forever, far from it. But why uy some, if you understand that it may lose value, then moan when it does?
137  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you surprise by bitcoin price now? on: November 02, 2017, 03:04:16 PM
Muah, moolah - $7k large and counting. I remember clearly the panic before the first fork. I almost, almost caved in. The fud was just too much. But I held on and now  Cool
138  Economy / Exchanges / Re: which is the best bitcoin exchange? on: November 02, 2017, 10:48:37 AM
I am a rookie, big god to the point of advice, come to vote!!!

There are a few, but avoid poloniex and bittrex if you are adverse to bad customer service or aren't ready to have your account frozen at random. They may unfreeze later, at their leisure after weeks on end.
139  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So again BTC is ATH at the moment. Are you still holding or already sold it? on: November 02, 2017, 10:25:48 AM
*The price is looking very good, nothing to be sniffed at and I am in celebratory mode after hitting my long term target. Ill sell a bit to recover what I invested, the rest Ill hold much longer to see how things pan out. Nothing to lose.
140  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BLOCKCHAIN TECNO WILL SURVIVE, bitcoin not on: November 02, 2017, 07:52:56 AM
Well I hope you are wrong, but I can understand where you are coming from. Hopefully banks don't create their own cryptos one day, it would hurt Bitcoin in the long term.
In the end, it is the people who can make the difference. I personally trust Bitcoin and hope more and more do too.

Like you said, I don't think we should worry too much in the next 3 or 4 years. No one can make predictions after that. My personal opinion is that Bitcoin's golden age will be in 2020.


Wishful thinking my friend, the banks already have developed their own blockchains and are good to go, expect them rolled out in different guises. Will it be bad for bitcoin? We will find out in due time.
