What makes people compel to hold the bitcoin in this critical situation? What are they waiting for? Any good reason?

They wait and hold them because they know that it would be dumb to sell them now as price will rise again soon. There are people that been holding bitcoins ever since they bought them at 100$ or less, they hold them for future.

Only people that sell now are ones that plan to buy them again once they drop by few hundreds just to re-buy them again and make profit.

Agreed with you, people believes that bitcoin price will keep increasing in coming months so its better to hold them rather booking small profit. it has been also observed that people sell btc when price is up and then they wait for price to fall to buy btc again.

1. good investment we are all know that bitcoin have big value of futures market it can worth a million dollars
2. security features we all know that bitcoin is hard to hack
3. save time you can buy thinks with just one click
4. fast service. am i gamer i sell game gold to people am using bitcoin as a payment. in just a second i can transact to other country. not using remittance center any more
5. low fees if i send money abroad it coz me 5% of my money if i use bitcoin is just 2%


Well said, there are many reasons for using the bitcoins. Bitcoin could be use as an alternate currency for our day to day transactions instead of fiat currency. If more and more people start using bitcoins then more retail shop and restaurants will start accepting bitcoins, it will help bitcoin community to grow.

First test match is going to start between England and West Indies. If I'm not wrong, this match will be their first day-night Test and be playing with a pink-ball. Currently, WI performance is quite bad in all formats of the cricket game, and recently they didn't even qualify for a champion trophy. I don't know how they are going to perform in the test match and England is also playing at home and they are in superb form. I believe it will be an easy win for England team in this match.

Yup true, it will be their first Day-Night Test match. As for this series, I expect a straight whitewash. As you said WI are performing poorly from the last year in all formats, its true, they have been on the downward slope after the World cup t20 win. IMO They lack quality bowlers for test matches, they do have good batsmen if they get in and can be quiet explosive. The problem has always been the bowlers. Anyhow will be interesting to watch how they compete against England as compared to South Africa and what sorts of pitches will be prepared for this series.

WI is not performed well from last one year in test series. But today they are playing well. England won the toss and opted to bat first. WI picks first 2 wickets so early Mark Stoneman and Tom Westley got out for just 8 runs. Root and Cook are batting now the score is 50/2. If WI picks 2 more wickets early then this match is going to be very interesting. Let's see how WI will restrict England in their home ground.
Right now very crucial time in this test  for West Indies because Root and Cook both doing good if West Indies bowler succeeded to take one more wicket before lunch then this session belong to them because this partnership can all momentum of this test match if these both stay for some time then they can take away from opponents because they have not good batting side

It will be real test for West Indies team. After the early success of two quick wickets, it seems that WI has lost their grip which helped english batsman to settle down on the crease. Cook and Root are playing brilliantly, they have already scored more than 75 runs and looking forward to convert it into century. WI desperately need few wickets to stay in the contest.

Hello pals,
Recently I introduced Bitcoin and cryptocurrency to my friends and family,they liked the concept but they asked me a question that I wasn't able to answer.Is Bitcoin really secure?What if a hacker was able to hack Bitcoin system/blockchain?Who manages Bitcoin security and what are the security measures taken to avoid hackers being able to steal Bitcoins?Why Bitcoin is not blocked for those who use it illegally by buying/selling in the deepweb market?What if governements ban Bitcoin because of these people?
I really appreciate if you  guys give me some answers

Yes, it is secured and you should trust bitcoins. It is not possible to block the users who misuse the bitcoins as it is a decentralized currency, there is no government involved to monitor it. Government can not ban the bitcoins but they can refuse to recognize or regulate the bitcoins.
145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: looking for a serious way to earn 1-2btc on: August 17, 2017, 01:55:27 PM
All i can offer is my time ... i have no special abilities

It will be really difficult for you to earn even 1 bitcoin as you have no related skills. Gambling and trading are the short cuts to earn big amount but it is very risky and you have no prior experience, you might loose more money. You can earn bitcoins by joining any signature campaign but the earnings will be less and it will take years for you to earn 1-2 btc.
146  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it wise to invest 1k into Bitcoin at this point? on: August 16, 2017, 06:36:15 PM
What is your input?

I think you should wait for some time, there will be slightly correction in the bitcoin value. Once the price is low you can buy the bitcoin at lower price. But as per me 1K is very less investment, you should invest little more if you want to see more profit.
147  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you explain Bitcoin or crypto to complete newcomer on: August 16, 2017, 06:20:58 PM
So I've been involved in Bitcoin and crypto for about 5 months now and just about everyone I tell about it being friends and family most have never heard of it or the few that have they have no understanding of it so I was just curious into how others explain it all to total newcomers is their a webpage or video you may show for an easy understanding to explain it all ? Whenever I give my explanation it seems to go way over their head  Roll Eyes Cheers

There are many videos available on youtube, you can ask your friends to go through to these videos. Ask them to register on this forum and to spend some time here; this forum has everything to learn about bitcoins.
148  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin market crash on: August 16, 2017, 06:11:17 PM
First, one should not invest all their money, or money you cant lose you cant invest !
Second, you don't have to panic because it will be unstable till 1st August. When this is all resolved and applied, I think the value will start to rise again, and pass the highest btc value reached !
It is right that high risk should not be taken but panic should not be created if there is up down in the price of currency, it is a business and we should have to think being a businessman. The up down in the price of currency is for the time being. Hopefully the price will be increased probably in August.  And we can see the sign of increasing the price of bitcoin as currently the price has started increasing now.

But due to, I think misunderstanding of the idea of investment. Some tend to put almost all of their money to BTC *along with it is faith*. They believe the something good will happen *which is really good, being optimist I guess boost the morale of a person* But, they tend to forget the things if their plan didn't work out.

In investment, Stability of one market is quite impossible to predict. Which is why it's really hard to know when to withdraw. No one knows what could really happen on August 1 on wards.
I think we should not fear August 1st. It won’t affect the value of bitcoins negatively rather would boost the values drastically. I believe we should keep investing in bitcoins. Those who have invested a big amount of capital should stay strong and loyal to their coins. After August, nothing will stop from taking a trip to moon. Good luck bitcoiners.

Tenured investors and those who really understand the market, will never invest their all money into one asset. Its always advisable to invest in multiple assets after conducting the proper research and assessment of the future risk and profit. At the moment, bitcoin is solid steady; there will be little correction but still price will not fall too much.
149  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why does bitcoin has constantly increasing its price lately? on: August 16, 2017, 05:58:02 PM
I'm just curious how bitcoin is rapidly increasing its value. Just last month its value was only around 2000 USD then suddenly after the fork it has constantly increased its price and now reached 4000 USD. Are there any reason why bitcoin has constantly rising? Can we expect that this month it will reach 5000 USD?

Japan and South Korea has the major global market for the bitcoins. Investors from Japan and South Korea are the main reason behind the global rise of the bitcoins. Mainly retail investors have shown their faith in bitcoins and these new buyers are seeing the bitcoin as a alternative asset much like gold. Yes, there is a strong possibility for bitcoins to reach $5000 in coming months.
150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No Alternatives to Directbet? on: August 16, 2017, 01:40:44 PM
I haven't found an immediate alternative of directbet yet. Onehash or something like that deals with transaction per bet system.
Sportsbet.io and nitrogenbet are ones with a wallet but larger options. Fairlay is good for p2p type of betting but has larger bet amount in general.

It's a bad news since I'm usually bet on directbet.
Maybe cloudbet may be another alternate for sport betting since they offering quite competitive Bonus and VIP bonus's rate

Everyone is badly missing the directbet, which shows that how much it was popular among the bitcoiners. I wish, they would upgrade their site and relaunch it soon. The site is still popular as there has no replacement found till date. 
151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: August 16, 2017, 01:13:42 PM
I would like to know does the srilankan cricket board allows their players to participate in other premier leagues? And county cricket? I haven't seen many players from srilanka in county or other premier leagues, they are lacking experience and their young blood is not getting enough exposure, i believe there should be a rule in all premier leagues around the world to include X amount of players from lower ranked teams so they can get experience from these Leagues. What do you think?

Yes, they do allow their players to participate in world leagues and county cricket. If you see at Indian Premiere League (IPL), there were many Sri Lankan players in almost all the franchise. Sangakkara, Jaywardene, Dilshan were regular participant; even now also matthews, malinga, parera and many others are still playing in the global tournaments.  
152  Economy / Gambling / Re: Best esport betting siteS? on: August 16, 2017, 01:06:06 PM
Dont suggest me nitrogensports or Ebettle, they're limits is bad for me, The max i can place on a 3 odd team is like 0.06 which is only $170
Looking for a site with max like 0.25-0.5 limits atleast

Directbet was the best site for sports betting with the bitcoins but unfortunately they closed their business. There were no requirement for prior registration, you could directly place the bet and if won, the winning amount used to be directly credited to your address. However, their odds were little low if compared with other sites but still it was very popular among the bitcoiners.
153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: August 15, 2017, 02:39:33 PM
Sri Lanka had no answer to the Indian team in this series and it showed with India easily winning the series without much of a challenge.

I'm looking forward to the upcoming series between Bangladesh and Australia as it will be an interesting series to see if Australia can perform well playing on their pitches. Bangladesh can be a dark horse and could even upset Australia in this series.

Pathetic performance by Sri Lanka in the third test match as well. For a top test team to lose by an innings within 3 days is not good. The first 2 matches also didn't go into the fifth day. It has been a very bad year for Sri Lanka, including a loss to Bangladesh as well.

They also lost matches against Zimbabwe team. Yes, there are some series issues either with team members or management. They need to fix those issues faster otherwise they may lose the chance of playing the text matches and later need to qualify for entering into text playing nations group.

Today got a match between Ireland and Netherlands. Ireland team looks stronger than NL and as per the points table, Ireland won 4 matches in last 5 games. I think today also Ireland may win the match.

Sri Lankan team is really struggling in all format. They had not only failed against India but even failed to show decent performance against Zimbabwe. After the retirement of Jaywardane, Sangakkara and Dilshan; SL team has hits new low. I still remember their champions trophy knock out game, wherein Malinga tried his best but no one supported him. Sri Lankan team required self analysis to improve their performance.
154  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Best online Bitcoin wallet ? on: August 14, 2017, 09:21:24 AM
I am using Blockchain wallet from last three years and i have never faced any problem with it. It is user friendly, simple and most important - its more secure if you compare with other online wallets. Their android app is also available on playstore, which allowed us easy access to our wallet.

w
A crucial day in this test match, if Sri Lankans won't hold their wickets then it'll be a huge huge victory for Indian players. West Indies and Sri Lanka are the two teams right now which are going through some serious issues to stay in the ranking sheet. Bangla will definitely take over soon.

Sri Lanka are already 34/3, with Ashwin and Shami getting two wickets quickly. It will be very tough for them to survive the entire day. I predict they will crash quickly to an innings wicket today.

They are four down now for 84 and they way they are playing as India might look to win by an innings and some runs.Good job by the bowlers and also Sri Lanka are not looking much confident even in their home ground.


SL now trail by 215 runs and only 4 wickets remaining. So mostly India will be winning by and inning and some runs. It means India will win the series 3-0 which is whitewash. SL will certainly be unhappy with such a pathetic play of cricket in this 3rd match. they never put up a fight anywhere in this 3 match series which will demoralize them and will certainly coach will need to look and make some changes now.

9 wickets are already gone, India is about to win the test match by an inning and more than 160 runs. It will be a huge victory for India as they have manged to white wash Sri Lankan team in this series. Sri Lankan team will be really disappointed with their performance through out the series.
156  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hold or Sell on: August 13, 2017, 12:30:55 PM
Some coins I use only for short-term investments in order to guarantee a good profit from the price increase, and I will store bitcoin until you can fly to the moon from fantastic growth.
All existing coins can not be generalized. So we have to choose which coins are right for long-term investments as well as short-term investments. Selection of cryptocurrency is very important to ensure what we will do, whether it is for holding or coin buying action.

I would prefer to hold the bitcoins as its price is increasing day by day and there are maximum chances to break the 5000 $ mark in coming months. Unless you don't have any emergency like situation then its better to hold the coin for longer time.

what a clinical performance by Hardik Pandya .. He played an extraordinary innings and placed India in a good position. It's not easy to score century with the tale enders. pandya hits seven sixes in his entire inning which helped him to score quick runs.

Posted From bitcointalk.org Android App

It was an excellent knock from Pandya, but what are Sri Lanka doing here. All out for 135 in almost a session!! India have imposed the follow on and Sri Lanka have to face the Indian bowlers for the second time today. Sri Lanka are so far behind and it is only the second day of the match!!

So much was expected from the SL after the last test match 2nd Innings they played gave some confidence that they will improve. But they really played worst compared to all the 3 test match now. They could not even make 150 runs showed that SL will take a long time to come back in test now.


Yes, It was a really disappointing performance by the Sri Lankan team. There were no fight back from batsman, India has thrashed them like a boss. On other hand, india is all set to register a record in this test series.

Yeah, bitcoin is on fire. Everyone hopes that it should break 5k mark within One month as there are so much positive vibes around bitcoin. It's quite interesting to see, how Japan is driving the bitcoins from front seat.

The future can hold a lot of things, and there might be a crackdown on Bitcoin if it starts to snowball too hard with the average folk, but for right now it's not worth worrying about anything happening to the community
 Undecided

At the moment I don't think there is a possibility of vanishing the bitcoins. Bitcoins are getting strong enough, so here after they will only grow. There has been tremendous awareness and popularity for bitcoins hence people are investing and trying their hand into this digital gold.
