141  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Pointium ICO will go to the moon~~~~!!!!!! on: April 05, 2018, 07:27:37 PM
I'm getting scammy vibes from this, lots of grammatical mistakes on the website, plus I don't understand why you'd use Ethereum for this. And I don't really get why companies wouldn't be able to do this themselves? Plus I think you won't get any serious clients with this business model, the whole point of having these loyalty programs is to attract paying customers back to you what sense does it make to these stores to start using pointium instead? A small business then has to reward customers he doesn't even see or supply. Large businesses already have their own loyalty programs and there's no incentive for them to use a unified system since  they get brand recognizition and more customers to spend their money there.
142  Economy / Economics / Re: Can a deflationary currency reliably be used for wages? on: April 03, 2018, 10:05:19 PM
So a while back I remember coming across this article and happened to come across it again and was wondering what people on here thought:

https://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2014/04/money

So let me quote the more important part I would want to see debated:

Quote
-Snip

I don't agree, we have been on deflationary currencies for longer than we have no inflationary currencies and there's nothing to suggest that there are less jobs when its deflationary. I'm guessing though that deflationary economies will see less ''frivoulous spending'' because everyone wants to sit on it more but things like food, shelter and all necessities will be purchased no matter what. If you want mindless consumerism sure inflationary is your way to go, if you don't want that then go deflationary. I'm not at all convinced that a deflationary currency will halt economies because nobody spends. I'd say that a lot of businesses will do worse since people suddenly don't need 3 cars and 10 pair of shoes.
143  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat Currency Always Fails on: April 03, 2018, 10:01:15 PM
Very interesting article and by the sounds of things we may be heading for
some trouble id the US keeps the printing presses moving.

I dont know enough of economics but these recent 'trade war' rumours
could have an effect on the world economy.

What will be the result of over printing the $ and a trade war be?

Hyperinflation, you'd get a venezualian situation or post WW1 Germany. Its food stamps and no jobs when that happens. But in context of Bitcoin, will likely do very fucking well.
144  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Pre Sale vs Public Sale on: April 03, 2018, 09:58:39 PM
If bonuses are higher on pre sale, why do so many people wait for public sale?   I seen thrive get a huge jump on public sale?  I don't understand?

Pre-sales are often for people with more capital, but you are right even if its not most people don't jump in at a pre-sale but on public sale. Not sure why, maybe they're hesitant and want to see what others do?
145  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What happened to Synereo (AMP)? on: April 02, 2018, 07:06:54 PM
Never heard of this coin myself, I'm personally not investing into these coins that claim to be the next gen social media platform. In the end all these platforms only became big (twitter, facebook, instagram) because young people/teens we're using it and that brought attention from companies to start promoting their products and parents that wanted to check on what their children we're doing on these sites. Its a very tough market to get any grounding in.
146  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How Low Can It Go? on: April 02, 2018, 07:05:02 PM
Bitcoin is now under $7,000. How low do you think it is going to go? I say the bleeding stops around $6,000 and it will upswing from there. This sure has created a lot of panic with the amateur investors. Just hang on for the ride.

Some people are already calling for lows like $200-$800, I think its plausible to see BTC under 1k not too likely but for now 4800 is a real target just like 7700 is.
147  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Invest or bounty? on: April 02, 2018, 07:02:29 PM
Hello!

How do you prefer to get crypto? Do you invest or you prefer to join bounty?

What is more, you can get tokens for testing a project's beta. For example, KickCity. You can get reward for testing this platform https://kickcity.io/event/5a9d11030cf2cac8e081f3e8

Depends on the payment of a bounty, I sometimes do both invest money and time.
148  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is China legalizing ICOs / Do you want them to? on: April 02, 2018, 06:27:12 PM
I don't really understand China's point of view, it seems that they're changing their opinion regarding ICOs and crypto every other day.

But I was thinking, do you want them to legalize ICOs? It would probably attract more whales, no? And might cause some manipulation in the markets.

Thoughts?

Right now blockchain projects use private placement to get funding for their projects trough tokens. So either way whales already won this battle doesn't matter what China does. Idc what China does anymore. I'm convinced they're only doing these things to manipulate the market.
149  Economy / Speculation / Re: $7,700 will be the next hurdle on the upside on: April 02, 2018, 04:52:59 PM
Interesting I hear more people call for 7700 as top of the rally. Volume is absolute garbage though.
150  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ive lost my azz. Bought @ 9000 and its looking like 6000 in the very near future on: April 01, 2018, 05:04:22 PM
Man, Ive lost it.
So much for the long-term thinking....
Ive lost all I care to loose....
Anyone else?

You wouldn't care if you actually invested what you can afford/willing to lose. I make bad trades aswell but I don't care as I consider the money lost. And if you're thinking long term then you should probably not go in all at once with your kapital but slowly buy over time without looking at the price and holding.
151  Economy / Speculation / Re: Where does bitcoin end up this year on: April 01, 2018, 05:01:06 PM
Why bother asking? Nobody knows.
152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin-Manipulation-Cartel — Price-Suppression is their Goal on: April 01, 2018, 04:34:18 PM
Enough parties that are interested in keeping BTC down, so yeah its plausible.
153  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Surprising day! For the first time in the cryptoworld ! :) on: April 01, 2018, 04:31:11 PM
Sounds very scammy, not interested in a lottery myself but if anyone is I'd demand an escrow.
154  Economy / Speculation / Re: Log graph of bitcoins growth in price from 2010-18 - ? catch a falling knife? on: April 01, 2018, 04:29:36 PM
The thing is ... I don't believe in the logarithmic line.

Simply because it takes double the amount if FIAT to rise from 10k to 20k than it does from 5k to 10k.

You have do double the FIAT again to rise from 20k to 40k.

Where should this exponentially rising money come from?

No you don't, it doesn't work that way.
155  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to turn tokens you earned from bounty to USD? on: April 01, 2018, 04:04:37 PM
After participating in bounty campaign, you earn tokens depending on the specific bounty you've entered.

I always take part in bounty translation because i do think that you earn tokens and you learn as well. You most of the time bump into words that you have never heard or used before due to a specific theme which is quite technical.

You might wanna sell your tokens in certain projects once they hit the market. Would like to know the process.

Thank you.

You need to sell the coins to BTC or ETH and sell that wherever you can locally sell them for your native currency.
156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Stellar Lumens [XLM] creator explains his tiffs with Ripple [XRP] b4 quitting on: March 29, 2018, 09:27:39 AM
Well isn't ripple trying to aim for making bank transactions super fast and little fees? Doesn't seem like they aren't aiming for decentralization and instead want to work for banks.

I think they still have plans much like IOTA to decentralize.
157  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: International Crypto Associations to Sue Big Tech Over Crypto Ad Bans on: March 29, 2018, 09:26:22 AM
I agree though, these ads I see on youtube are the worse. Recently I saw an advertisement of bunny token where they promise price growth and steady % increase etc etc. ridiculous. Those ICOs that advertise themselves on platforms like youtube and facebook are only out to fill their own pockets on the expense of people who think they are genuinely investing in a business.
158  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Waves Believer on: March 28, 2018, 04:02:17 PM
are you agree if waves can grow x20 this year
wich mean the price could hit $100 ?
personally i believe it and already fill my bag with waves
your toughts please ?
'

Personally I think they've dropped the ball somewhat. They had a chance to become a succesfull platform but with all the bad/scam Icos and no smart contracts it just didn't cut selection. We are still in a very early stage though for these types of platforms. But my bet is on Universa instead.
159  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: EtherSpin a transparent blockchain Casino on: March 28, 2018, 04:00:22 PM
These casino's come a dime a dozen. I'd personally  invest in something that offers solutions to existing gambling outlets trough blockchain instead of investing in a startup casino.
160  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The current state always feels "permanent" but usually never is. on: March 27, 2018, 07:29:53 PM
When it was in bull market - it felt like it'd never crash.

Now that it's a bear market - people feel like it'd never go up again.

The current state usually always feels permanent but of course, never is. Nobody knows if we're gonna go up or down but we do know that no state is permanent.

True and a lot of people have extreme difficulty timing their entries and exits so both scenario's are often exegerrated by Fear or panic. But then again, even if it isn't permanent you don't know how long it can last. I doubt many have the patience to hold trough a 2 year bear market with constant decline. Its best to know when to exit and get back in so you don't have to suffer.
