Hey guys, you like my new trading setup?

Antonopolous is NOT respected by any technically capable people that even work on bitcoin (but I won't name names), and neither is he respected by people like me for his constant lies and shilling about "decentralization" that doesn't exist, so I do not approve.  I'd also be interested in knowing who has been funding this guy for his years of shilling (probably someone like Larry Summers), but I've never got around to investigating the money trail.

Such nonsense you speak. But good trolling.

SetGetGo here, we added support Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and Dash. We also adopted KYC/AML practices and moved away from our own wallets to Bip-32/HD wallets, so money goes directly from the client's wallet to the merchant's wallet (no middleman holding your funds!).

Furthermore, we improved our fixed-fee pricing structure to be flexible and way more predictable from the merchant's perspective and yet still completely independent of the amounts being processed:

Startups - Up to 100 transactions / month - Free
Business - Up to 1,000 transactions /month - $100
Enterprise - Up to 10,000 transactions /month - $500

I invested my life savings into bitcoin when it hit 19K. My investment is now only worth 1/4 of what it was before and my wife’s boyfriend won’t stop calling me an “idiot” since I can no longer afford to put my wife’s boyfriend’s son through college.

Hahaha Almost felt bad until that wifes boyfriends son part  Grin

You mean the whole world economy or jusy the US economic?

you can't really separate the two. the global economy and financial systems are so interconnected now that an economic collapse of a superpower would reverberate across the world. the collapse of the USA would cause huge contractions in other economies because of its position as a major trading partner. supply chains would break down and large sections of productive economies would stop generating growth. the USA is also integral to the world financial system. due to the financialization of economies over the past couple decades, the prospects for financial contagion are very large now.

The way I explain this to some of my friends around the dinner table: if the US sneezes then the rest of the world catches a cold.

We're looking for a CEO. If you think you have what it takes then please apply!

From our Indeed job post:

http://www.indeed.com/job/ceo-crypto-payment-processor-bitcoin-litecoin-ethereum-183e378b175d1543?_ga=2.246718212.1470775153.1542304367-1522454426.1514315773

Two software engineers here looking for a CEO to take our platform to the next level. We run a cryptocurrency payment processor (see setgetgo.com) that differs from the competition because it charges affordable fixed fees whereas our competitors charge percentage-based fees. Little do the masses know that for the most part it costs the same to process $1 on a blockchain as it does to process $1,000,000. Percentage-based fees are therefore unreasonable and the players who are riding this wave for now don't have very much longer to go.

Our product was written over a period of several months and has been deployed live for six months. We have a fine tuned machine now upon which we have added numerous features.These include an Android app for merchants to receive payments, a powerful and yet simple Merchant REST API, the ability to accept BTC, LTC, BCH as well as DASH (ERC20 on the way!) and even a WooCommerce shopping plugin for WordPress.

The problem? We need someone that believes in our team, our product and who is experienced at selling to and engaging with clients.

The cryptocurrency space is in its infancy. Don’t be afraid to join us in this space if you don’t know it. We’re happy to bring you up to speed. The finance system and the whole world in turn is about to change, and we are going to be there when it does.

We are not backed by anyone. We funded this ourselves. We have no debt. Whilst we cannot offer a salary, we can cover expenses and grant equity commensurate with skill and experience.

When we start making money, you are going to be making money right there with us.

We work remotely so you should too.

Talk to us!

Job Types: Full-time, Part-time, Commission

Experience:

    CEO: 5 years (Preferred)
    Sales: 10 years (Preferred)

... , but what I have always stressed is that OP author did it in January, first in the bitcointalk forum, and when everyone expected and called Bitcoin to new Ath.

This is not truth. And I stressed it several times. There are lots of threads on this forum even calling ATH on time and normally predicting the bear market to happen same as it happened in previous bitcoin cycles.   I do not even know how would any reasonable guy who was here from 2013 think otherwise. To believe Bitcoin will just stay at $20k? LOL


Oh there is also a youtube channel with good on time predictions you might check if you really hate to read this forum.  https://www.youtube.com/user/TheKoziTwo/videos    He predict rarely but always on time and correct.

Funny song in there from 2013: Bitcoin is a Bubble
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7TuFy0fcuw

"bitcoins a fad and its on fire
higher than a fantasy
like a singularity

bulls living in world full of denial
i'm feeling a catastrophy
they're thinking it can fly away

oohhh ohhhh ohhh i keep on riding my bear
though i'm falling a tear

oohhh ohhhh ohhh it's gonna crash to the ground
and i'm not backing down

Bitcoin is a bubble, Bitcoin is a bubble
its only a bubble, Bitcoin is a bubble"

It's like pulling a dime and waiting for heads or tails - you have 50% chance in both situations.
In this way and not exposing you as you did before, you gave two opposite analyzes and with the same probability of success, so in both cases you will be right! .....

Not exactly - as you can see, OP left carte blanche to the market only for the short term. For the long term he still keeps his unfavorable view on Bitcoin and crypto markets in general - still insisting on the long term BTC crash to 4k or even sub-1k. Quite stubborn guy, I would say Smiley

Rather than using the word, "stubborn", perhaps "filled with hopium" might be a better description....?  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy    Tongue

You guys are laughing and mocking OP, but oddly enough you're all still watching what he has to say.

Once any of aforementioned resistance levels are reached, the interrupted downtrend ought to resume towards an initial target of 5200 approx. This would complete an overall A-B-C structure which began on 24-JUL. Taking out the high of 02-SEP would suggest another structure at play.


So your prediction went wrong once again? Price should be sub $5000 by now according to the chart. Why all 30 days predictions you make end up wrong? That is sort of statistically impossible. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

So far the "broken clock" has been right more than he has been wrong. Read the thread carefully.

Imho this is incorrect and unfair. Crypto is against banks, not really against governments.

Regulations may be boring, but far too many people got used to live under government's protection/regulation and just can't take care of themselves. Many others fool themselves they can until they find somebody with unexpectedly big (financial) power that can swallow them instantly or just play with them.

I agree. The McAfee alliance mentioned above is reactive and can't begin to even hold a candle against government regulation. The dirt-bag exchanges need to be cleaned up, pronto.
132  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency Fraud. on: October 07, 2018, 03:20:40 PM
Regulation? Let the government do something against fraud?

If ever cryptocurrencies get regulated, it'll be boring for traders. We won't be seeing the 1000% growth or fall in a short period of time anymore.

If you hate regulation, the only thing you can do is be a little bit wiser and educate people around you.

Spoken like someone who has not been caught by Washtrading.
133  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency Fraud. on: October 05, 2018, 09:14:17 PM
There are lots of fraudulent acts in the crypto world, which as a result is tarnishing the existence of cryptocurrency. What measures can actually be taken to mitigate these frauds.

Which acts are you referring to specifically?

Off the cuff, I think crypto can benefit by having the exchanges regulated.

I am long on WAVES Bitcoin Ethereum NANO
STEEM is a bit of a gamble but it could be big
And I recently found this under the radar coin called TERA https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4573801.0
This one could be huge

Why do you think it could be huge? The premine immediately turned me off of it although 1 second block time did pique my interest just before that.
135  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you long on, and why? on: September 26, 2018, 08:24:03 PM
Minus the obvious BTC for the looong term win, I'm going long on:

(1) Sia
(2) Dent

Here's why:

(1) They're both really cheap right now
(2) They both seek to unsettle massive players in established markets. Sia is smashing cloud storage players and DENT is disrupting data strongholds in mobile
(3) They are already delivering fantastic products

What are you long on, and why?

Why are some people always looking for coins just because they are they are cheap? 🙄I was just going through comments here and a lot of people here were just choosing coins just because they are cheap, does that even make any sense? It’s a no to me, price doesn’t matter when I’m making my choice, I rather look at other qualities of a particular coin and its potential than looking at price.

So what are you long on then?
136  Economy / Economics / Re: How much money and bitcoins do you need to influence the price? on: September 26, 2018, 04:46:38 PM
As of writing BTC had overall marketcap on those value below.

$114,948,065,347

How would 1M usd would affect the price? We are talking billions here. BILLIONS!

Yes we are talking billions, but what's really involved? What do you think a marketcap of billions really means?

It is just a number. As such it is mostly meaningless, though it can be useful when comparing the market cap of bitcoin with that of other coins. Obviously, there are no hundreds of billions invested in bitcoin or any other coin, which is what some people think market cap shows. Some people bought bitcoin when it cost literally cents, some people didn't buy it at all. And if we count only what was actually invested minus disinvested later at whatever price, the number should be much smaller. Maybe, on the order of a few billion dollars all in all.

I agree, the true market cap is surely nowhere near as high. There's may not be as much money in Bitcoin/Crypto as people think there is. I suspect that even daily volume is just as blurry.
137  Economy / Economics / Re: How much money and bitcoins do you need to influence the price? on: September 25, 2018, 04:41:46 PM

If the SEC says that the high price increase of last year was manipulation, then they must bring the proof. Let's do our own

informal assessment of the situation and determine what would be needed to cause that kind of a spike in the price.  Wink
Manipulation or not but reaching out those prices is somehow questionable because certain things reaching out that range on a shorter timeframe cant be achieved out by traditional assets that why people who are engage into non so volatile things will have those jurisdiction.


I think maybe it could be up to $ 1 million to be able to affect the price in the market

According to me, the most promising coin for a long term investment is Ethereum. The coin is the most popular crypto and has one of the best development teams behind it. It currently has a market capital of $23.3 billion and can cross the $700 mark easily in the next few months.
I find the coin's idea of smart and ledger contracts which can hold state and arbitrary code quite revolutionary. It is also a great coin for making transactions as it provides fraud free transactions due to its back end security.
It is a good potential coin and I am expecting good returns from it.

    I have Ethereum`s! Now when price is so low I`m buying more. This is great opportunity to buy Ethereum`s for $200.
Thanks for nice insight about Ethereum, I`m reading good things too. Vitalik is talking how he plan to upgrade Ethereum,
it`s constantly being developed. That is a great thing when we know that team behind project is dedicated to that.
   I`m long on many coins, tokens, platforms. I think many of existing ones have potential for great future. My most favorites
are the ones that are getting out now and they are very cheap.
at this time many people are buying ethereum, and price is increasing. Hopefully trend continues. i still hold eth that i have, to be used as future savings, because i believe that will have good prospects

I find it difficult to go long on Ethereum because I view it as somewhat of a utility to others and so there is a conflict of interest.

Its nature is such that it doesn't make sense for the price to go up because then it costs more for the people who are using it. If we put aside speculation, then the more useful Ethereum becomes (as a result of more people and businesses using it) the more incentive there is to push down the price. For example, if I develop a useful platform based upon Ethereum, then at the very least it helps to know that my costs from one month to the next will at least be constant or going down instead of going up with the price of Ethereum.

Perhaps I'm being naive? If so, enlighten me!
139  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you long on, and why? on: September 13, 2018, 07:47:00 PM
Actually I could not understand your idea completely. Do you promote these coins for a fee? I cannot understand why I should buy these coins. You consider that they are cheap but it is not the excellent argument because market is still bearish and crypto assets can slash else lower. As for me I consider that it need not to buy anything now because market is still in the strong downtrend so while the best decision is to wait and not to buy anything right now.

The purpose of my post was not to market anything, it was merely foster conversation by providing a brief statement on what I am long on and why. I then asked what others are long on and why. Despite the market taking a sharp downturn, I'm still long on the coins I listed and for the same reasons.

So what are you long on anons, and why?
140  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Cash on: July 31, 2018, 05:18:31 PM
Can you please elaborate on precisely why it should be a worthy number two?

Please read the whitepaper and study Page 10 of the whitepaper which has a comparison graph showing Bitcore alongside Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold then please share your opinion on what you think of this coin. In my opinion (based on the whole whitepaper) this coin is the best Bitcoin fork. Sorry I will not elaborate further but my opinion is based on the whitepaper and development team behind Bitcore.

Which whitepaper are you referring to?
