121  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Roubini is a tryhard against Bitcoin on: March 27, 2018, 01:42:35 PM
So i wonder why the BTC price is that volatile. Is that for the FUD news?

Well but most FUDers are obvious incompetent actors like the Roubini guy, then the people must be stupid to believe them.

I hope the real reason of volatility is not the fake news, there must be something else.
122  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: selling bitcoin is a stupid decision ? on: March 26, 2018, 02:22:30 AM
This drop is temporary, even though it lasts several  months.

Many experts predict the price to go at 50-100k in the 2020.
These are times to buy, not to sell.

If the price drops now it is a blessing, i would take advantage of it by buying and waiting for the Big Rise 😎
123  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Roubini is a tryhard against Bitcoin on: March 25, 2018, 05:14:22 PM
I have watched a few videos of an alleged economist called Roubini.
He talks shit about Bitcoin all the time, but i think he needs acting lessons Smiley

Look for him on Youtube and observe the way he talks.
To me he seems very try-hard and not natural: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-02/roubini-says-bitcoin-is-the-biggest-bubble-in-human-history [VIDEO]

Come on gov. guys, at least hire more professional actors than these beginners LOL

Bitcoin is our saver , that's why those robbers don't like it.

Go crypto.
Be anonymous.
Don't pay taxes.

Are you alive?

Your project has potential because of the growing internet censorship by the govs, so there will be a need for a decentralized solution to fight that.

But you have to market it properly and the first step is at least being active on the official forum.

You are not active since the 29 January come on!

Yes, we are!

I am only skeptical about usability.
How are the people supposed to browse Hostcoin sites?

The main problem with Namecoin was not being officially integrated with either existing browsers or the Namecoin wallet itself.
People is supposed to install 3rd party browser plugins  to be able to resolve Namecoin websites, and 3rd party plugins are less trustworthy than an official one.

Or they should manually do complicated setups.

I hope you will provide official browser plugins, or dedicated browsers like TOR , maybe integrated into your wallet.

Trust and ease of use is very important to let the Hostcoin web become popular, like TOR hidden services or even more hopefully.

Hello,
is your AppStore available on Android and iOS phones, or are you going to make a custom mobile device with your own operating system?

I hope the second one, as Google and Apple are likely to block you from their stores, because your platform is a way to bypass their stores and make them lose profits.

Our store (resp. its predecessor)  is already available on more than one hundred million Android devices. The store is pre-installed on the devices by the manufacturers and Android is an open source so the threat of blocking us by Google is rather non-existing. Since we are focusing on emerging markets and unbanked customers - we do not expect they will have iOS smartphones but we are not ruling out possibility to have an iOS app in the future.

Is it not available on Google Play Store as well? I have tried searching for "Alax" but did not find it.

About censorship by Google, it only applies to the availability of Alax on the Play Store , since the latter is under google's control.
E.g. they blocked a few apps last year : https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/30/16951996/google-android-apps-removed-security-2017

And The Play Store is the only way for distributing your app to already existing Android phones.
Otherwise Alax will only spread via new devices, which is way slower.
p.s. Those 100.000.000 devices you mentioned, have already been sold to final users?

128  Other / Politics & Society / Govs are banning ICOs on: March 17, 2018, 02:56:15 AM
What a coincidence.
Google just announced they are banning ICOs, and now i've read that France gov is going to ban ICO websites https://www.coindesk.com/french-regulator-blacklists-15-crypto-investment-websites/

I'm already tired of these tyrants that aim at "regulating" (robbing) our business, to prevent us from being financially free ( which is the goal of Bitcoin ).

Bitcoin was made to evade taxes (which now have become robbery, basically) , and to fight the bank dictatorship , but they don't accept it and want to "regulate" everything.

Go Bitcoin keep rolling!

Also, we need some kind of decentralization for websites, in order to avoid them to get censored for arbitrary reasons we do not approve!

Not talking about ICOs websites only, but all of them.
We pay for the Internet, why we can not have free speech rights ??

AFAIK sex bots/dolls are still too low-quality to be appealing for the masses.

They are made of standard silicone which is too far from realistic when you touch it.

Touching a doll should be close enough to what you feel touching a real woman, otherwise i'm not going to dig it

We hear saying "Bitcoin is a bubble" all the time from ad-hoc news on mainstream media.
They release them to attack Bitcoin, for making the price drop so that they take the chance to buy low, before the cryptocurrency boom of the decades to come.

But they always avoid admitting some facts that may debunk their fake propaganda: "traditional" assets are a giant bubble now. Way more than Bitcoin ( if it really is a bubble).
Think about

- real estate: it skyrocketed for decades, but it was all an artificially-made price. Now you are observing what is the real value of terrains and houses. We can say it did not drop, it just revelaved its real value , while the one it used to have was artificial.
Wanna smile a bit? Now we may enter a car-estate bubble because of that! https://boingboing.net/2017/12/29/working-maker-poor.html

- many tech stocks are overvalued now. It cannot go on like this forever.

IMO they are going to plummet to a fair price , the only question is how long are they going to resist with the pump? They cannot sustain that for 10 more years for sure, it takes efforts from their part

There may be a truth in what you say, but it is not right to look at everything as bubble. Does not it seem strange to you that bubbles are growing in price? If we go with your logic, the USD itself can even be a bubble. Do not be so cowardly, there is an end to everything already.  Cool

The point of my topic was to criticize their stupid propaganda against crypto only and nothing else.

They are only bashing Bitcoin, omitting that their own assets are worse.
They must stop calling Bitcoin a Tulip, and of course they never called their assets a tulip. Name a single time they did

132  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anonymous exchanges? on: March 12, 2018, 04:08:41 PM
by default, if anonymity is of interest, then we should look towards decentralized exchanges (forkdelta, idex). As already written above, many exchanges also do not require the provision of personal information, with certain restrictions on the withdrawal of funds in this case

When the tyrant govs will force all exchanges to require ID verification, i think many people will switch to decentralized exchanges.

But for now it is still unnecessary as long as many "normal" exchanges are anonymous ( Binance, Cryptopia, OkEx as well i guess ).
133  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin down ( Mt. Gox is dumping ) on: March 11, 2018, 12:46:09 AM
Yes the Mt Gox Trustee has sold off 40K of BTC in 5 stages from Dec to Feb 6, starting with 2K mid-Dec when BTC was $19K - and then with 3 tranches of 6K in Dec and twice Jan when the BTC price was about $17.5K and $13.5K and $11k, before the final sale of 18K BTC 6 Feb when the BTC price was about $9K and we had that one day crash to $6K. Interestingly the fall in BTC price on the day of each of those 5 sales by the Mt Gox Trustee was about $2-3K before recovering, and the market seemed to handle the increased volume of BTC for sale pretty well. Worryingly however the Mt Gox Trustee still has 162K of BTC in Mt Gox wallets overhanging the market, and how the market would handle a fire sale of significant amounts of this BTC is unclear. And it’s unclear if the Trustee is going to sell more BTC after going quiet for a month, but it’s the nature of bankruptcy receivers to realise all assets at whatever price unfortunately.

Yeah I think all this Mt Gox stuff is bearish for BTC, while that 162K of BTC is overhanging the market - and there will be a lot of shorting of BTC and selling it on whatever rumours start up. I think before this crash is over we will see a $5K BTC price, and we may see a $3K BTC price as a lot of good technical analysts have been predicting as the low point. But who knows - there’s likely many a twist and turn left in this tale yet!


 Shocked

Does that mean we'll have a few months of suffocation? I think that after reading this post I will seriously consider selling my altcoins and staying in the usdt for a long time while I wait for this crisis to pass, it would be wiser because a $3000 drop is something very bad for me that after having bought a lot for price of  $900 I was buying for the price of  $3000,  $5000 and in much higher values and if it drops to  $3000 I will be with huge losses and as I do not know if these powerful guys can dump their bitcoins even more, then usdt becomes the best alternative temporarily... I'll think about it


500$ ?

Why the hell did you have to post this option?


First of all, if i were you i would just hold for various reasons:

1- USDT is a scam, they don't even give you the guarantee you can cash out (it's written on their site). This implies that if everybody one day wants to cash out USDT, chances are they don't have all those dollars. So USDT it's not exactly "safe" like FIAT

2- In any case, you should have invested the money you can afford to lose, so even if you lose the money invested in Bitcoin, you should be able to keep living. So i don't see why you panic for so little. You already know that if you HODL 1+ years you will profit heavily, so why don't you just wait one year and avoid wasting time looking at the graphs? You save a lot of time and you profit. Win-win for you

3- $500 is very unlikely, yes, but the Elites want to cause panic to make people sell and give them crypto at a cheap price. BTC will become crazily costly in the years to come, likely around $100000 in the 2020 and they want to profit from this. They are late, as crypto is already  expensive now, but they still want to solve this problem by making the coins cheap temporarily, so that they buy low.
It is possible that they will be spreading panic news and temporarily make the price drop heavily, i cannot exclude that, but keep in mind: it would be just temporary, a matter of weeks or months if you are unlucky. Crypto is the future and will be a boom in the decades to come. If it were a bubble, they would not make efforts against it Wink

This strategy explained in point 3) is similar to what they do with poor countries like Ukraine. They caused the big crisis in Ukraine , and now guess what are they doing? American bigs are investing heavily in real estate in Ukraine at a very cheap price now, they are like colonizing it,
 so that they will profit one day when Ukraine will improve naturally and the value of the houses and terrains there will skyrocket.


p.s. yeah ok, when i indicated the $500 price i was exaggerating a bit. But honestly i would not be scared if it happens, i would be happy and take advantage of it by buying low! Because i know it's just temporary and artificially made by the Elites, and in any case the Bitcoin will be in the hundreds of dollars in less than 5 years

You are correct in that he isn’t in it for the profit, but if this trustee had any ounce of moral decency in him, he would still sell at the highest point possible rather than letting the assets he is accountable for generate a lot less in terms of dollar amount. The trustee team behind Mt. Gox have a decent bit of work to do moving forward.

But what was the price of a bitcoin when the Mt. Gox exchange closed? 

 Cause in his eyes he is selling at a premium and could actually get close enough to pay back a good portion of what is owed unlike most bankrupt and shuttered organizations.   If you only had a million dollars to pay back creditors in 2014 and it came due in 2018 after litigation....You'd have a million dollars.  With bitcoin,  that million would be worth more than what you owed.



That's why they can afford to sell coins below their real cost, as the price went up so much that they would make big profit even selling at $3k now.

That's why these auctions they are doing may drop the price for a few months.

They key to win in crypto trading is patience.
Buy and resist one year with your coins, and you will profit.
135  Economy / Economics / Bitcoin down ( Mt. Gox is dumping ) on: March 09, 2018, 05:09:27 PM
https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/82nud3/mt_gox_has_been_dumping_on_us_for_the_last_two/

The reason of the low price we see since December is Mt Gox, which has more than 1 billion $ left to be dumped , and this will take several months to complete and may drop the price even lower.

I think these are the times to buy, in that when this Gox dump ends, the price will go up naturally again, probably to $20k which is the estimated record of the 2018.

The only doubt i have: how low can it go in these months?

In any case, even if i buy some coins now, i intend to HODL until the mid 2019 or 2020, so i will profit even if this is not the lowest price.

But if the price is likely to go under $5k i may prefer to wait so that i get more good coins for cheap Smiley

What is your estimated bottom price of these Gox dump months ?

$7k ?
$5k ?
$2k ?
500$ ?

Let me know
136  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do I hold? on: March 08, 2018, 10:10:40 PM
I am sorry guys, but HODLing is some of the most stupid advises you can give....

So you want to say trade better than hold ?. I tell you, if you not enough experience in trading, you can loss your money. Because trading have much risk compare hold it. Day by day, price has been change. So if you can predict, you can got loss. I recommend to hold until price going up to 30% from your capital.

@ArifNewaz No, daytrading is stupid when applied to crypto.
These years we learned that hodling long-term proved to be the only profitable strategy.

If you buy crypto, you should be aware that you can only make profit one year later, if not more

Ok there are times when you are lucky and you buy at the lowest price, and sell high a few weeks after; but those lucky episodes won't happen frequently to you.
137  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do I hold? on: March 08, 2018, 03:26:16 PM
I have recently took investing on poloniex serious. Ever since I've invested the alt coins have been down.


Happened to many.
The price dropped just after they bought.
But the error they do is panic selling to limit the losses.

Which is stupid, considering that you may wait a year and the price will go up again setting a new record, as it happened every year.

This trend will repeat itself every year for decades , and the crypto revolution is just at the beginning.

Selling now is nonsense.
These years are time to buy
138  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Holding Bitcoin a long time good way to make money? on: March 08, 2018, 03:22:29 PM
I first got bitcoin from withdrawing from gambling sites.  I deposited with another method but could withdraw bitcoin so i did it.  Around that time bitcoin was around $220 usd or so and when i got it, i would then trade it for poker funds from other person etc because I didn't want to hold the bitcoins due to reading about price fluctuations.  However, isn't the value of bitcoin almost always going to go up so its best to hold it?  I know last year it was $600 and the highest was when it was more than $1000 per bitcoin.  But since it is all the way down to $200-$300, isn't having bitcoin always good?  Could bitcoin go all the way to 0 soon?  I had thought hey if you get bitcoin when its $230 when the price stayed like that for a long time, thats great b/c very hard for it to go below $200 because i haven't seen that.  But even if it does, isn't it almost always going to rebound and go back up?  Last time i had btc and it was $230 or so and now it went up to $260.  So if you have say 100 bitcoins... well... thats a nice $3000 profit or so.


I'm sure there are ppl that have thousands or bitcoins right and just hold on to it?  And many that would sell btc immediately if prices go all the way up?  If someone had say 500 bitcoin... then btc price went up $20 in say a week or so... selling it would net them $10000 minus fees right?  However if they sell it via localbitcoins or other method, they are going to get a higher profit right?  However if they do this, say sold all their 500 btc... then once bitcoin later in the year go up another $50... well that would be $25000 less they would have earned.



In general, isn't holding BTC always a good thing since the price of it is pretty low now?  Obviously if you bought btc at $600 or $1000 and thought it would went up and held on to your btc, that would been a disaster.  But since its in the $200-$300 range, isn't having BTC always good?

Bitcoin will have a boom, in the years/decades to come its value will be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

You better just buy and hold a few years , then profit

Pay attention at not investing all your life savings, but only an amount you can lose without changing your current lifestyle.
If you don't follow this rule, you will panic at every temporary price drop , like the one we see now since December
139  Economy / Speculation / Re: can bitcoin reach 25k$ on: March 08, 2018, 12:05:58 PM
but i read on the other forum say that every year there's a time  bitcoin goes down but before the end of the year  it will raise again .. that why i asking this through creating a topic here... i know it is possible to bitcoin to reach again to top but it take so long ...  

Yes of course it takes so long, it is supposed to.

The only sure thing is: the price will set a new high record every year, because crypto is the future and will become more popular in the decades to come.

If you want predictions month by month, they are not possible.
We can only say that every year you will make profit if you hold.

If you want to win at crypto trading you should hold your BTC at least one year, while daytrading/scalping game doesn't work here.
Maybe for other types of forex it can work, or a few professionals can do it.

But in crypto game, the most profitable game is just buy and hold 12+ months.
140  Economy / Speculation / Re: can bitcoin price move up to 17k again in 2018 on: March 08, 2018, 11:47:06 AM
ofcourse yes. many crypto experts predict it will go 20k by the end of the year (or even more)
And also it's still the year for cryptocurrency, it's growing every day

Actually the crypto era just begun Smiley
You haven't seen anything yet.

This is not going to be a phenomenon that lasts a few years, but it's long-term, can be even centuries.

More and more bigs are investing their money either buying crypto directly or buying shares of crypto-related companies. ( E.g. George Soros now is investing in crypto ; ) )

That will make the cryptocurrencies gain popularity and price value.

P.S.
Yes OP, i can confirm that most predictions see the price between  $20 and $30k by the end of 2018.

If you can wait a little bit more and you don't have the urge to sell , in the 2019 they predict it will be around $50k-$80k .
I bought about $4k of crypto last summer and i hold at least until  Christmas 2019 Smiley
