Generally, it's always very good idea ''Don't put all the eggs in the same basket''  So, in my opinion, we should invest in different markets and financial instruments, not only crypto market. Thank you for your financial analysis. Bitcoin was a new asset class with high returns but bitcoin is not ''new'' any more and returns are not high as before. The market has stagnated for half a year. It's very difficult to predict future with crypto market. Hello, This Modern Portfolio Theory is not about predicting future. It's a statistical and mathematical model that builds an optimal portfolio, which offers the maximum possible expected return for a given level of risk. And you can lower the risk by adding non-correlated assets. If all your assets go up and down at the same time, that's bad for you. Imagine the whole Stock Market goes down 10% (which is huge for that kind of market), but bitcoin goes up 30% (which is not that much for bitcoin). Your portfolio will not suffer so much. The opposite can happen too, when stock market goes up 10%, and bitcoin goes down 30%. The idea is to be exposed to many different assets with non-correlated risks. The objective is not receiving high returns from bitcoin, but that it's not going up or down at the same time as the rest of your portfolio. |

Ethereum is a fork of Ethereum classic. Hackers stole 50 million in DAO (an ERC20 token) and Vitalik decided to make a hard fork on the previous chain. On this new chain, called ETHEREUM, there was an smartcontract that allowed users to withdrawl all the DAO that was stolen, which would be paid in Ethereum. The community was splitted. Whoever supported the Hard fork (ethereum) and who didn't want to fork (Ethereum Classic) This hard fork (Ethereum) opened a lot of questions about immutability and "code is law". I am very happy Bitcoin never did something similar (such as Mt Gox episode) Source and more information: https://blockgeeks.com/guides/what-is-ethereum-classic/ |

I was thinking about Modern Portfolio Theory and Bitcoin. I did a little research about it and will share my thoughts with you guys. As stated here ( https://www.turtletrader.com/modern-portfolio-theory/) Modern portfolio theory is standard practice in the smart investor’s portfolio. MPT places a non-correlated investment, a predefined percentage managed futures component, into a typical bond and equity portfolio. Risk is diversified away from the bond and equity positions into non-correlated managed futures positions. Higher portfolio returns with a reduction in risk is the end result.
As you can see in this chart, from the same website, 100% bonds is riskier than 80% bonds and 20% stocks.  A greate challenge to investors is to find non-correlated assets. This is where bitcoin comes in. Bitcoin is a new asset class with high returns, non-correlated to any other assets.Pension funds, hedge funds, and many other funds are probably willing to buy bitcoin, as it is non-correlated to any other assets. But they can't for legal reasons. But they can buy a Bitcoin ETF, or maybe a Bitcoin Future. Soon money will come, when those legal instruments are available for them. When you add volatile assets, that have low correlation with the other assets in your portfolio, your overall portfolio volatility and risk get lower. Remember, to lower the risk of your portfolio bitcoin should be something like 3% of your overall portfolio, maybe even less. This articles covers a little about the subject too. https://medium.com/@dustin_byington/why-owning-bitcoin-reduces-risk-8163309ec2f1Edit: Vitalik Buterin saying the same thing, that cryptocurrencies reduces risk. http://Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VosfxChTxVg |

Se não fossem os faucets, talvez eu não estaria aqui hoje, os faucets salvaram a minha vida, então quem puder, doe uns 5-10 reais em BTC pra um amigo..
Muito legal sabotag3x. Essa sua idéia é muito boa O primeiro contato com o bitcoin é uma experiência incrível. Abraços e que venham mais muitos anos de transações. |

I think we lack secure and easy-to-use newbie-friendly wallets.
We lack good exchanges in many fiat pairs in developing countries as well.
I think those "boring" projects, infrastructure, are the ones we lack the most.
We already have many 3d, virtual reality, man on mars with blockchain projects..

Each Cryptocurrency and it's community have different opinion, such as :
1. Bitcoin choose decentralization over scalability, features (such as Turing-complete smart-contract & private transaction) & network throughput (higher TPS).
2. BCash choose features (by re-enable few OPCODES), network throughput (by increase block size) & "scalability" over decentralization (i think they sacrifice it too much).
3. Monero choose features & decentralization over scalability & network throughput.
In the end, each people have different thought over this problem. But mostly i agree with Bitcoin developer/community choice, even though i think block weight increase (where regular user run full nodes even after increase) would be better.
I kinda agree with this, but what makes a coin more decentralized than others? For example the BCash side arguing that nodes without hash power are simply "no effect" on decentralization. That's said, only nodes with hash power are counted. Any comment on this? Thanks. In my opinion, these are things to consider while think in centralization: - Mining centralization: Different pools. Different computers with different hash power, distributed geographically. In this point, bitcoin is somehow centralized
- Coin distribution: An image that is worth a thousand words
- Consensus mechanism: Anyone if free to buy equipment and join bitcoin mining. I think the consensus mechanism favors decentralization. Other coins, like ripple, do not allow that as they have a master node.
- Developing: BIP (Bitcoin improvement proposals) allows decentralization in development.
- Central authority: There is none in Bitcoin. Is there in bitcoin cash? Ethereum?
These are a few points i just thought now... |

Galera, não é assinatura. Se a postagem for ruim pro tópico eu removo. Mas tem um cara que aparentemente está doando umas opendimes. Eu sempre quis ter uma e sempre estou adiando. A despesa ficaria pelo custo da postagem. É bastante arriscado e você teria que enviar seu endereço para um desconhecido, mas ele é legendary e tem um trust bastante positivo. O link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3444625.msg37619078#msg37619078Não conhecia esse dispositivo. É quase um hardwallet? Olha, vou dar minha opinião aqui sobre isso. Isso é uma regra básica de segurança computacional: segurança física do equipamento. Se um hacker teve acesso físico ao seu dispositivo, ele é considerado permanentemente comprometido. Isso vale para airgapped pcs, hardwallets, qualquer dispositivo. Então esse dispositivo que ele está sorteando, já pode ser considerado comprometido. Esse tipo de dispositivo só pode ser adquirido diretamente da fábrica ou revendedor oficial. Por qualquer outro meio, já não vale mais nada. Mais informação aqui do nullius. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3176978.msg32950018#msg32950018 |

Hello @Vod. Did you do it? I am interested in it... I would like to hear your opinion about it. I just read mastering bitcoin, is that enough? I am expecting a somewhat easy test.... Any coding skills required? |

High volatility - to reduce this risk, buy good cryptocurrencies with large marketcap.
Hackers - to reduce this risk, buy a hardwallet
Lose coins , lose privatekey, seed - be careful and educate yourself.

* Anyone with good knowledge of how Centralized tether is?
* Is tether built on Bitcoin?
* What is the implications of building a Centralized (Non-transparent) Cryptocurrency on Bitcoin or other decentralized cryptos? Could be abused/over printed?
* Should non-transparent Cryptocurrencies be even allowed to exist without being regulated by humans (humans in this case are governments/constituted authorities)
I really don't know much about tether as I haven't found time to research it properly.
Tether is a cryptocurrency that runs on Bitcoin Blockchain. It was built on Bitcoin's blockchain using OmniLayer. Basically, Tether is a company, and when you buy tether, you are making a loan to that company, who promises to pay you back 1 USD for each tether you own. I recently made a post about it, which I am going to quote here. It's a Debt Security. You basically become a creditor of that company.You are making a loan to Tether with zero interest rate. That's a pretty good deal for Tether. So you are borrowing money with 0% interest rate, assuming all the risks, as Tether may go the bankrupt and do not pay you back. Even so, there are a few advantages of buying tether: - Taxes- You can sell your cryptos for tether and do not pay taxes (yet). This way you can postpone your taxes in many countries(according to your country legislation)
- Convenience- You can easily move your USDT around exchanges across the globe without any burocracy and faster than you would move USD.
This cryptocurrency is closely connected to Bitfinex, as they share the same CEO. Bitfinex is one of the biggest exchange in the world. As they make a lot of money I believe they may have their Tether backed up, but I am looking forward to see the results of any real audit. Be careful, as tether has never been audited. They may or may not have the money to pay investors. |

I moved the coins to another wallet before trying to update. Are your coins out of the nano then? So try to reset your wallet now. Insert the wrong pin3 times and the nano will reset. Now it will update without the seed, probably. Check on all update steps if there is anything on Ledger's led panel asking you to click a button. |

I am Brazilian and I find your post offensive also.
I don't think racism should be tolerated here.
How someone come to a GLOBAL CURRENCY forum saying that 3rd world countries members are not welcome?
or any other kind of attempt to exclude a group of people.
Do you think bitcoin would be better if only rich people could use it?
Bitcoin was designed for everyone. Rich people, poor people, for everyone on the earth. The idea was to flat currency relationships worldwide.
Your comment is against bitcoin philosophy.
