I'm sure you've used binance and kucoin already but the 2BTC limit for non-verified replenishes every day (you can check it on their site it's the limit per 24H) but the risky part is we don't know when will the "your account showed suspicious activity pls verify your acc" card will show up. It tends to show up on big amounts tho as it is noticeable so tone down the amount you trade each day.

Binance is perfectly fine for that. I doubt OP is a mega whale trying to unload his coins where Binance's 2BTC/24H withdrawal limit forms an obstacle.

For every 1BTC you held before the fork, you have 10BCD after the fork. BCD currently trades at a value of $1.31 or 0.000115BTC. He can cash out 13,333BCD per day on Binance.

Dump is inevitable, even if it is not now, but in future, people cannot continue to hold their money in the market without making use of it at one point, but whatever dump we get now along this present surge, it would just be a correction as usual, and this correction will take us to another higher dimension.

You might want to follow the market action more closely because people are actually cashing out, and they have been doing that for weeks now.

People blindly assume that we have to see a 30-40% correction in order to know that people are cashing out, but the bulls are easily overpowering the sellers. Just a few minutes ago we had like a $400 dump which you might not pay attention to, but this is one or more players cashing out profits, which is extremely healthy.

Only when the momentum in the short term runs out we will get a correction of 30-40% but there is no way that you can time it. What if this correction happens around $20,000? It would take us back to $12,000 at worst and we'll rise from there with how bullish the general trend is.

Why would you sell a bitcoin collectible on an ATM machine?

Probably to just feel the market?

I think there might be some degree of demand here, but only when the coins (aka private keys attached to them) come loaded with such a low value, that people don't mind the risk and buy it. Not in a hundred years would I trust an unkown entity doing this with higher amounts. If the coins look cool, have a mintage number on them for rarity hunters, I might buy a couple just for the heck of it.

The only thing is that I don't want to deal with KYC/AML nonsense, so if that's required before you can buy them, then say goodbye to your business plan.
1344  Economy / Economics / Re: Any other areas that blockchain can be used? on: June 24, 2019, 09:40:28 PM
Blockchain can be applied for almost every industry that's operating. It's not just for the financial industry/institutions but it can also be used for the transparency of data for industries that wants to make their process visible.

Like on election for voting the pools,for maintaining a ledger on your store,etc...
Cargo, shipping, etc as in almost everything.

Smart databases can be used for all that too, yet people are so tangled up in the blockchain hype that they believe it will change industries and potentially even the whole world. The most ironic part is that databases exist for decades, but now blockchain has become a thing people start worrying about efficiency and whatnot.... It was never really a problem to begin with.  Cheesy

Better IT management is what most industries lack. Cost saving is the main reason IT isn't paid much attention to while it has been one of the most important aspects to focus on in the last decade or two.
1345  Economy / Speculation / Re: Popular Crypto Trader says “Bitcoin is likely to hit $60k+ this coming uptrend”. on: June 24, 2019, 08:57:21 PM
I'm pretty active in the space and watch quite some crypto related videos to kill time and have a laugh, but I haven't heard of Josh Rager before. Roll Eyes

Anyhow, I find it quite funny how people here link 'well known' traders and think their prediction hold significance while if you have a basic understanding of technical analysis, you can come up with similar predictions. In the end, you'll be right or wrong. These people will not show up when they are wrong, but push it in your face when they are right.

I have seen Alessio Rastani do the same. When the price goes up or down, he shows you a fragment of his member side video where he points out how he predicted it to happen. What he doesn't show you is how many times his predictions didn't go to plan, and you won't see it unless you become a paid member.

For a noob it might look these guys are right plenty of times, while it's just a trick to gain recognition.
1346  Economy / Speculation / Re: Network fees as market indicator on: June 24, 2019, 08:37:34 PM
Hopefully we will continue to have low fees even if the price of Bitcoin continues to go up to near ATH levels and potentially beyond; things are much smoother than they were near the previous ATH where fees were incredibly high.

However, I still don't see fees being a good market indicator. Lightning is also not very widely adopted at the moment AFAIK. I've seen a few services accepting payments through LN like Bitrefill, but most places still don't accept LN payments. Hopefully this changes in the future.

The fees will go up organically due to the price going up, so we will not have the fees as low as they were earlier this year. The situation back in 2017 was completely different and shouldn't be used as metric anymore. We can only work with what we have right now, and all indicators point at an increase in fees.

Lightning has little to no effect on getting the fees to decrease. I would say that now the price is going up again, fundamentals are pushed back again which means that there is little to no attention anymore for Lightning, Segwit, etc. People cough up the network fees and seem relatively fine with it. Only when we're going back to $5-$10 fees Lightning and Segwit will pop up again because people have no option than to use them.
1347  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Which Exchange is the best? on: June 24, 2019, 07:56:11 PM
Every market has its advantages and disadvantages which make each market unique and has an appeal to its users. Maybe you can see https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/ as your reference material to choose the market that you like.

CMC is a shit site when it comes to exchanges and their volumes. I wouldn't recommend anyone to look at that site to find an exchange that could work out. What happens is that newbies look at which exchange has the highest volume, then go for that one totally not realizing how fake their volume is. Most of these top fake volume exchanges happen to be Asian too.

Bitstamp, Kraken and Coinbase are the main fiat exchanges. Binance is the one that people use for altcoins and whatnot due to their liquidity, and they seem to offer swift support, better than any other exchange in the industry.
1348  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's huge carbon footprint - deal breaker on: June 24, 2019, 07:26:17 PM
I really think this is the death knell for Bitcoin.

I think you will end up with a massive BTC print on your face, just like all the skeptics who kept rehashing the same nonsense since 2013.

Build a bunker, make sure you have the best filter and ventilation system available, and prep as much canned food as you can to survive at least the coming 5 years. Don't forget to hold some of this carbon footprint spewer coin so you will at least be able to keep seeing your wealth increase as the world goes under. Cheesy
1349  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-06-24]Key Bitcoin Price Indicator Suggests $21,000 ‘Fair Value’ By End Of on: June 24, 2019, 06:44:38 PM
First it was John McAfee which said the price of bitcoin will hit 1million per coin when it next year and now Trace Mayer also make another prediction but I wonder why people keep on making a false prediction of the bitcoin market every time the market seems to be in bullish mode.

McAfee is a complete lunatic, ignore this drug abuser and fraudster. Trace is quite a respected entity within the space with solid investments contributing to what he believe will work towards a better and more secure ecosystem. I add more value to what he says than anybody else throwing with predictions left and right.

I am more a fan of letting the market speak for itself. Whether the current price is $5000 or $100,000, it is what people are willing to pay for it. People said that sub $4000 was extremely unfair for Bitcoin, but if it was unfair, the price would reflect that and start going up. The market valuation at that point was fair. People didn't want to pay more for a Bitcoin. It's that simple.

The market is never wrong. People are most of the times.
1350  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-06-22] Bitmain Allegedly Looking for $500 Million in Upcoming U.S Share Sa on: June 24, 2019, 06:15:12 PM
Are you sure about this? I just checked coinmarketcap, and they are saying that the 24-hour trade volume for Bitcoin Cash is somewhere around $2 billion, which happens to be at least four times higher than the net worth of their one million BCH coins.
As said above, the volumes are not real on CMC. They collect data from exchanges without caring about how real or fake the volumes are. Better idea is to track exchanges such as Bitstamp and Coinbase for their volumes.

But it is possible that they could sell at least 25-30K coins per day and complete the process within one month without crashing the exchange rate for BCH?
I doubt that's a viable path to follow for them. 25,000 coins equals nearly $12 million, so you would have to dump a little on every exchange, but considering that most of the buy support you see on exchanges very likely comes from Bitmain and Roger, it's still not going to help much.  Cheesy

They will need to sell as much of their garbage through the OTC market, but who the heck is going to buy them?

I wonder is Jihan Wu will be involved with all of his great ideas Cheesy perhaps they will decide to support another fork and split bitcoin sv  into another version of a useless shitcoin.  It would be easier if they just expanded into a more liberal place like paraguay

Bitmain doesn't support SV. They support BCash and holds +1 million coins in their reserve. It's impossible to liquidate these holdings at a fair price to later on drop support. It would take years if they want to get the most value out of their coins because of the poor liquidity. The liquidity is so poor that whatever Bitmain, ViaBTC and BTC.TOP end up mining, the coins are kept off the market. They use their Bitcoin to cover expenses.

I think they will just try to keep the 5% ratio and hope that people buy miners to mine this trash. More large SHA256 networks means more demand for their hardware. Smart business move on that front.
1352  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-06-21]Wall Street Analyst claims Bitcoin will blast through all-time soon on: June 23, 2019, 10:40:06 PM
Hodling is the only way to guarantee that you will part of the parabolic event when it takes place, probably later this year

That's true, but at one point you have to make a decision to either keep holding or to sell a part of your stack to buy back more Bitcoin lower.

What you have to remind yourself of is that you can't time the market. You will likely sell below the price that will turn out to be the top. People tend to get upset because they thought they sold the top, but it turned out to not be so. What some of them do is buy back in higher, and then get trapped waiting for the price to go back up while it's going to go down more.

Point is.... Stand firmly behind your decision to either secure profits or not. Don't act out of panic afterwards. You'll lose money.
1353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Attack on Bitcoin on: June 23, 2019, 09:53:49 PM
Can you elaborate this? Is this another FUD or what? I appreciate your concern to us but seemingly you can't back this with additional information. So this might be considered a fud. 

Don't pay attention to these suckers. It must sting seeing the price go up and for that reason they do their best to get you to panic sell. Spreading fud here has no effect on the price at all, just like how thousands of moonboys here were spreading bull run nonsense back in 2018 didn't have an effect on the price. It's literally a waste of time and effort.

It might also be a sore altcoin losers because the BTC ratio of altcoins has gone down by 50% on average this year.
1354  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The reason Libra might be good for Bitcoins on: June 23, 2019, 09:41:56 PM
On a show I watched the other day it was saying libra coin from facebook will cause harm to cryptocurrency.
Mind sharing what show you watched? So far I have seen most mainstream media sources actually praise this as being a ligitimizing factor for crypto.

And it will not be a true stable coin cause it wont operate on a blockchain which I dont see how it could unless it is run independently on just the facebook platform. Undecided
Which would make it a centralized coin where you can not move it off their site even if you wanted too. Embarrassed
I don't think it matters much what sort of network a stablecoin is running on to be considered a 'true' stablecoin. The only requirement for that is that it has a stable unit value.

It definitely is centralized, but that's also the case when it comes to fiat backed stablecoins running on top of Bitcoin or Ethereum.
1355  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.com scam - lost funds on: June 23, 2019, 09:02:09 PM
Wow, this thread got me worried, 'cause blockchain.com is what I use for my BTC... I have a 2FA plus store my password rather safely. I just checked my balance to see whether everything is intact, and luckily I was not robbed... I will also soon receive the new Ledger wallet I won in a competition. Perhaps I should move my funds to this offline wallet, after all.
Is there a particular reason why you are using blockchain dot com? I don't see it offer much utility at all. It requires you to pay much higher fees due to them not supporting Segwit, which also means that you can't send funds to a native bc1 Segwit address.

At the same time, though, just today I came by a thread about money disappearing from Ledger Nano S in a mysterious way. That makes me wonder now whether there's any safe way to store Bitcoins, really. The way that gives sole responsibility to the owner. Paper wallet, I guess? Good luck with the investigation of what happened to your money!
Money doesn't just disappear from a Ledger hardware wallet. The person either bought a Ledger from a malicious website that has it already set up for him, which means that the one who set it up also owns a copy of the seed, or the person stored his seed online and it got compromised one way or another.
1356  Economy / Economics / Re: Next Reason For BTC Price To Goes Up on: June 23, 2019, 08:24:13 PM
And you know a very interesting thing , Bitcoins since they are going up the government have initiated a plan for letting people pay taxes in Bitcoins ;

Thus now you can actually pay taxes in Bitcoin and government is allowing it so it means it's gaining recognition too from every side, the price is having a productive influence on both market value and at the same time it's good for even people who are looking forward to invest since the market is going to go up for sure.

It is a good sign 👍

Governments aren't directly accepting Bitcoin though. It's just a third party gateway they use to receive fiat after every tax payment.

I think it's actually a bad thing. If you use Bitcoin to pay your taxes with, they are going to be aware of the transaction data and from there can basically follow you through the years, where you trade, what addresses you use for long term storage, etc. It's basically them making it easier to bust you and charge even more because you didn't declare everything they way you should have according to them. It's a trap.

Another reason this isn't a good thing is because of how these coins will be used to temporarily short Bitcoin because they don't sell their coins immediately. They short to cover the risk of the price that might go down.
1357  Economy / Economics / Re: Repeating of all time high has begun on: June 23, 2019, 07:42:05 PM
funds pouring in could be from institutional investors, there has been so much buzz around in the last couple of months.

Institutions have likely secured their positions well below the $10,000 level. I strongly believe that what we see right now is retail money entering Bitcoin's ecosystem.

The buzz around institutions buying Bitcoin exists for a couple of years now, and people keep waiting for the moment to see it happen. They don't understand that institutions are silent buyers, so if you're waiting for institutions to say 'hello we're here and about to inject billions of dollars in Bitcoin' you can't be more further from the truth.

Smart money doesn't talk. Dumb money does. Dumb money sentiment has been a great counter indicator in so many markets for decades now.
1358  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-06-21] ‘If Bitcoin Hits $10k, It Will Easily Break Past The $15k Price Lev on: June 22, 2019, 09:01:03 PM
I expected Bitcoin to take at least 2-3 months to move from $9,500 per coin level to $10K. But that was achieved in less than 24 hours. And at this rate, I would say that the next major resistance may come up at $20,000 per coin, or $25,000.

The market has turned resistance levels into invisible barriers lately, so it doesn't surprise me it did what it did.

The last potential resistance level is just under $20,000 depending on what exchange you're looking at, but once we're past that high, there is literally no limit as to what price we will see in the forthcoming years. We'll create new resistance levels and bottoms, where ultimately the $20,000 high will be a future bottom. The only question is from what level will we fall back to that $20,000 level?  Smiley

The last time we went up to the all time high of $1100 resulted in a ~35% dump, which took us a month to recover from and from there we went full parabolic to $20,000. If we see something similar happen again, it's probably a good idea to buy that dip.
1359  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-06-22] Bitcoin Price Hits $11K Less Than 24 Hours After Breaking $10K Mark on: June 22, 2019, 08:33:37 PM
However, I cannot see any article noting the exact reason of this increase.
I'm glad they don't, because if they did they would be lying.

Is there anything special that happened during these days or it is just hype? I am just wondering if this will continue or it will drop.
I would say it's just our good old buddy fomo. Breaking the $10,000 level is such an important milestone that people rush in to not miss out on a further increase. No one knows how long this will continue, but as they say, the trend is your friend, so it makes more sense to be long than to be short, even after such an increase.

Coinbase used to lag behind with their volumes during the sub $4000 phase we were in, but now it's leading as true fiat exchange. It's fresh money flowing into Bitcoin.
1360  Economy / Economics / Re: Issuing loans in Bitcoin, how we could do it on: June 22, 2019, 08:14:54 PM
I in the life already faced a situation when I took on credit the car in $ but not in national currency.After some time, $ began to cost 2 times more,respectively, and I had to pay 2 times more.Since the salary I received in the national currency and not in $ and the salary was at the same level.

Mind explaining your situation a bit? This is what I think have understood so far; you took out a loan through a foreign institution in USD, but used that to fund the car in your own country's currency? If your native fiat currency is so weak that it halves in value, why take out a loan in USD? Problems with fiat currencies that lose value play for a long time before they really tank against USD, so it can't catch you by surprise.

That being said, I didn't know you could take out a loan in a currency completely different to the currency you are being paid with. I would have assumed that a basic check of your finances would expose the risk and for that reason the loan wouldn't be granted to you. Perhaps things are different outside Europe.
