161  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Hacking is the Big Problem on: April 05, 2018, 11:43:21 AM
The CloudFish CASB uses a proprietary algorithm to store and manage users’ encryption keys using block chain technology. Unlike the traditional CASB products available in the market that stores users’ private encryption keys on a single server, the CloudFish CASB splits the users’ keys into fragments and stores it in blockchain. This makes it virtually impossible for a hacker to steal users’ private keys and the digital assets protected through those keys. CloudFish uses a proprietary algorithm to dynamically construct and store users’ keys in the blockchain. The reconstruction and validation mechanism implemented by CloudFish for users’ encryption keys is very similar to the way blockchain validates your cryptocurrency transactions. The use of blockchain for security keys validation makes it not only impossible to steal but also makes it easy for the user to access it anytime from any platform……means you don’t have to worry what happens to my crypto wallet if my laptop is stolen or lost or if the wallet company’s server gets hacked.

Hacking is no doubt one of the most serious issue which almost all of us are facing and that most of us have already been victim of this thing. You need to work out properly to keep yourself safe as if you will not do so, then things will become very much difficult for you as well and that you may also get into the trap of the hackers. You need to be sure that you are taking the right step.

You can see any good youtube Chanel for learn basic of crypto trading. You can use some website also for learn trading. And you can used any other online resurgences to learn trading.
There is enormous difference between learning tricks and tactics and applying them practically to do the trading. Until you do not learn to respond to loss and risk, trading would be a nightmare. Start with minimum investment and focus on the fundamentals.

Learning the art from your own experience makes you artful in the market language which in my opinion is the start good days.  Practical involvement promises future.
163  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you do with your crypto? on: April 04, 2018, 10:44:34 AM
I invest it to other altcoins to gain more profit even if its small profit, and I do try trading investing to ICO's and many more.  Also I buy things that i want gadgets clothes and many things. Also I buy gifts for my relatives and I help other who in need. I donate some of my money to the charity. I like helping other who are really in need and also i'm saving up for my emergency funds. you know for emergency purposes.
I always encourage people in my social cycle to go for different tastes and ideas. Never restrict yourself within a specific world. Try different things and this experience will make your mind so open that new chances will be popping up. Never ever think that you can’t do this thing or that thing, rather make yourself confident and try it, if not, nothing would happen but if it is, you will be amazingly growing.
164  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is the best / hottest cryptocurrency to buy during the dip? on: April 04, 2018, 10:11:09 AM
I choose to purchase coins:
- with a general low generation,
- a good team,
- good technologies,
- an important period of existence of the coin,
- the presence of a masternodes with an average profitability.
And if someone makes a good research about which coin will be suitable regarding all these points, the ending results would be Bitcoin. They are seriously making the whole world great for living. Although they are in starting state but still, things are getting good gradually and slowly. As far as these points are concerned, Bitcoins do fulfill all these points successfully and hence they must be adopted.
165  Economy / Economics / Re: Why most bitcoin users from good economies countries? on: April 04, 2018, 09:37:52 AM
We can not deny the big country with good economy, it will make the society economy better too.
So they can follow the economic development and participate in transactions and investments in Bitcoin era.
How the people of small countries can participate in participation and benefit from it?
It would be very difficult to calculate the statistics of users of each country, but the comparison of Bitcoin ATM growth from this early 2017 report can be the initial reference of the statistics.
Perhaps by the end of this year, there will be more Bitcoin ATM growth across the board due to the growing interest in bitcoin this year.



People in poor countries have a hard time accessing bitcoin. It's hard for them to use the Internet, they're still worried about their stuff, they have no energy to care about bitcoin. So it's hard for bitcoin to help people in these poor countries.
Wherever Bitcoins are legalized, firstly those countries have right to use them. Secondly all the third world countries have so much other chores to fulfill and compete with immediate effect so how can they be a part of it. For them, it is like a secondary work that can be prioritized at second or third number or even more down. So they don’t care much about it. And developing countries have much good concern about this world.
166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The consequences of gambling on: April 03, 2018, 11:47:50 AM
The consequence of gambling is to be able to accept loss and not become blindly in gambling if you receive a big loss, since loss in gambling is the most important consequence that must be faced.
Loss is not the most important one. The dire consequences of gambling too much include getting addicted to it, not giving proper time to studies and family. Furthermore people start drinking or using drugs to beat the depression they develop because of losing gambling. Some people even borrow money from others to regain their losses. These all are the things that need to be considered as side effect.
167  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this a good opportunity to buy or huge risk to lose money on: April 03, 2018, 11:11:21 AM
I think the same about you, we don't know what can happen to all of us in a few days from now.

some people are expecting to see the price below three thousand dolllars, and my entire ass is scared off to see this thing.. just imagine to see your actual portfolio at 50%

I think it's better to give a little moment of price growth in order to be confident in investing
Many investors and crypto holders are mentally prepared for this. They know that it is not only bitcoin which is facing this hard time, it is the complete crypto market which is suffering so we have no other productive option besides keeping our respective coins in the wallets. Once this hard correction is over, everyone is going to throw a huge ball because of the rewards they will get form bitcoin. Stay positive!
168  Economy / Economics / Re: What are the biggest changes in your life caused by Bitcoin? on: April 03, 2018, 10:41:25 AM
In the past years i don't have any direction about my life and had been depressed, then luckily find out about bitcoin and I started to learn how it works and how to earn from it. Changes is huge because now i am feeling confident and helping my family to the best that i can. I am now the provider and hopefully i can also help others who are struggling in life.
That is a massive change in your life if you have become financially stable and not only feeding yourself but also helping out your family monetarily. This thing is going to not give you more confidence but also a great peace of mind and a sense of success. What you can do to help others is that teach them about bitcoin and introduce them to the land of crypto currencies so that they can also change their fates.
169  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is the risk necessary to make a big profit? on: March 21, 2018, 11:44:22 AM
I do agree that the bigger the risk, the bigger the gain. But, if we look at 1000% gain or even 10000% gain, we should not forget what kind of risk we are dealing with.
No disagreement with this. Absolutely right you are in this regard. Risk is an ability with which as better you deal, it will yield you that much.

In case of trading, when you know that if I get such coin and trade with it 7 days let’s say, I will be making this amazing amount but I may lose at 3rd or 4th day if I ignore this thing and blah. You will need to check out how better you can deal high risks, your results will be dependent on this.

How to find a promising ICO?

In order to find a promising ICO’s and new projects to invest in, you must join bounty campaigns here on forum, read blogs, join telegram groups that sort ICO’s for investing.

Then, once you know which and how many ICO’s are launching recently, do research about them by reading their whitepaper, joining telegram group of ICO, checking team background, check their partnerships, etc and then choose among them. By doing all these checking, one can detect a good ICO to invest in.
171  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Future of Blockchain? on: March 20, 2018, 10:19:35 AM
What do you think is future of Blockchain technology? Where do you see this in next 8-10 years?

I see bright future of block chain. Since million of people are using it,  It have faster transaction but the fee seems not worth it. Maybe block chain high transaction fee maybe solved with hard or soft forks.
With its popularity its highly possibility that some banks can adopt it and soon it will be the biggest invention of the century.

Just have a logical review about current situations and then compare them against bitcoins relating the future. This current era is developing into technical world. We can see everything converting or modifying into technicalities.

Likewise, when currency is under discussion, bitcoins are digital and future would be digital too. So ultimately, bitcoins would have best space to be fit in future.
172  Economy / Economics / Re: BTC is a roller coaster on: March 20, 2018, 09:45:02 AM
Yes indeed bitcoin is like roller coaster. It will flip you up or flip you down. Just like the market price of BTC going up just like flipping but also going down easily.
The most interesting thing which Roller coaster and bitcoin have in common is the science because roller coaster flips up and down on a rule of physics which includes centripetal and centrifugal force whereas the bitcoin is working on a hash algorithm with different marketing rules defining about its price and availability.

Both of them go up as well as come down, but I would give this credit to the bitcoin that while coming down it doesn’t speed up like roller coaster.
173  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Cryptopia going to the dogs or am I imagining things ? on: March 17, 2018, 08:46:28 AM
As far as I know they started to resolve the issues in withdrawals. Well, there are still problems that haven't been solved as of the moment, but some stuck withdrawals have been cancelled and once a withdraw request was made again, it will go through smoothly already. If you're not aware yet, you can see some story in their Ann Thread.
They had better do that as my withdrawal has been pending for days now and if that is resolved, I am sure done with them. The one that was stuck before and cancelled and remade is still about the same thing now, because it has been some days with no serious response from them.

Still waiting anyway. I feel they over did themselves and with the complaint they gave about having lots of increase in users, I am sure they must not have seen it coming and that is the single mistake all these exchanges always end up making.
174  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will under 5000 within this month do you think so on: March 17, 2018, 08:16:04 AM
bitcoin price now is under 7000 it will go under 5000 it is real or FUD..who is manipulate this market...
everything is possible but it will recover soon.. so dont panic just a healthy price correction

This is no more healthy correction since the price is not normal correction but its very deep correction.
Many people are panic and take their capital from the market so thats why we notice that tje marketcap is lower again.
After this, we need longer time to recover
Deep or light, correction is correction and it is always going to be healthy. Although some have considered this as a crash which is reasonable considering the level of dump activities that the market had since December ending, but one thing is that the same way the bull run had a stopping point, the bear market will also have one. So, it is good for us to wait for that moment and be rest assured that no amount of KOBAYASHIS will destroy the market Grin
175  Economy / Economics / Re: Working smart vs working hard (an ultimate guide) on: March 17, 2018, 07:44:20 AM
Many people say that you should work hard if you want to succeed in life and rise to riches. I'd rather say that working hard will only make your boss richer, not yourself. On the other hand, there is an age-old adage which says that you should be working smarter, not harder. But working smarter is a vague idea, and I'm interested to hear what people have to say on this topic. As far as I'm concerned, I think that working smart comes down to creating environment where you will have more chances to meet Lady Luck smiling at you, where you will be able to hit a lucky strike because luck plays an ever-important role in our lives. For example, if you want to find a date to have a romantic relationship with or you are looking for a one-night stand only, you will go to a beach or a bar since your chances are higher there, right? The same approach seems to be applicable to work as well. In other words, stick around the places where your chances of success are the highest.

So share your opinions here, guys. What is your practical take on working smart?



Below I will be posting replies which I consider most relevant, revealing and insightful on the topic discussed.



...

You have a point man. Actually I have been hearing this sort of argument even when I was still a child. My father will always tell us to work smart, and make money out of money. And when I grow up, I did work hard, but I later realized that I don't want to be worker that long. I need something to help me became financial stable in the future. So I decided to quit my job, put my offline business. Although I still need to wake up early and oversee everything, I did enjoy what I'm doing and the best thing, I'm the boss. LOL. But there's some kind of element in luck as well. I don't know but I felt that I'm just lucky because suddenly I gain financial freedom and then when I discovered bitcoin, it give me another leeway, more funds for me to channel to my business. So I say that you have to make the right decision + element of luck = success in your life. You have to be in the right place at the right time.

...

Even when we have heard several talks about working smart, but a lot of people are still work hard thinking that someone will have to teach them to work smart or they are thinking they are working smart. Quite a number of times, I am always taken aback when I begin to imagine what people spend their time on to earn money, struggle, use their strength but nothing to show for it while they are left with no other option than to believe in miracles in other to come out of penury. However, working smart is not something that falls on you or easy to come by, rather its a conscious effort to break away from the shackles of poverty with constant research and education, you are sure to work smart and be financially independent.

What do you mean by working smarter?

I will try to explain the difference between working hard and working smart using an example from software development. Let's assume you have a large set of data which you should sort (arrange elements of the dataset in a certain order). You can take a naive approach and use a bubble sort algorithm which is devastatingly slow. Or you can use something like the quicksort algo which is extremely fast. In the end you will get the same result but times spent will be strikingly different. Now you can try to apply this example to real life.

I don't think that relying on luck is smart. It is truly risky. I think that smart work is rather about thorough development of the ideas, high level of rational success predictability, not luck attraction.

I see your point and I don't particularly disagree with it. But I didn't mean you should rely on or hope for luck alone. You can continue to work hard for your boss as always and still be looking for an opportunity or chance to change your life dramatically to the better. Let's loosely call that working wise. Basically, all I wanted to say was to emphasize that you shouldn't discard or write off the importance of luck completely. Ignoring a stroke of luck when it happens all of a sudden against all odds would be the most foolish idea that you will likely regret for the rest of your life. In this manner, it makes sense to work toward increasing your chances of meeting Lady Fortune one day. For example, if you want to be romantically involved with someone, it means visiting places where your chances of starting a romantic acquaintance are the highest.

I also think you are wrong when you talk about luck. Because your boss (and those of very large companies) are perfectly aware that they are in such position thanks to their luck. So they tend to close their network, to make golden paths that lead to domination... and are completely unaccessible for anyone out of their private "leading sphere".

Frankly, I don't see where I'm wrong here when I mention luck and that you should not only take it into account as a possibility and be prepared to take advantage of it when it pops up, but in fact act toward increasing your chances of encountering it. If you mean that your boss is somehow depriving you of any chance of meeting luck in your life, I think this is simply impossible because it goes against the nature of luck. In other words, luck is something which is not supposed to happen but still happens, and whatever you or they do to close the doors to it, luck will overcome all the roadblocks in the end because it is in its very nature.

I agree that you will need both. Earning money in this world is easy once you have a good network of contacts and good capital, but at the beginning it's a nightmare.

Once we reach a certain point we can move towards passive income and work less, when we have a great amount of capital, and spend more time with family, travel and things like that. It all depends on what you want to do. If we worked hard and smart enough in some years we won't need to work anymore, you will then decide if you want to work for fun or do something else.

I know that the idea of working for fun sounds like crazy for a lot of people, but if you like what you do, then it's not so crazy.

No, it doesn't sound like crazy. Actually, you came up with an idea of a passive income, which I haven't yet seen coming up in this thread, well, not in the part that I was able to push through yet. If anything, working smart can be defined as an activity directed towards building more sources of passive income. That's an interesting idea anyway. It seems like this is the ultimate goal of working smart, that is doing more with less until you don't need to do anything in the end. And if you are a smart guy, you won't stop there, so I emphatically agree with your attitude and point of view.

A lot of people overestimate their importance.

Yeah, that's the point I want to emphasize massively and which I wholeheartedly agree with. Maybe, it is the first thing you should do before you start off on a working smart journey, I mean, correctly assess you abilities and whether you are actually as smart as you think you are as well as finding your smart spots and sticking around them. That idea should be definitely added to the piggy bank of ideas making your life easier and wealthier.
The truth is that everyone cannot think the same way. If we are all working smart, who is going to end up working hard? It is a way the world has been fashioned and as much as working smart is good, working hard is also good, but it all depends on the level at which we all operate.

Also, everything in life is all about luck and some have gone down the road of working smart with luck not shining on them. We have to consider that just a few of those smart ones are extremely rich now, while some did not even ask for it, so sometimes, i feel luck and opportunity also come to play like someone rightly said.
176  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hold NEO for long term or invest in good NEO based ICO? on: March 16, 2018, 12:37:54 PM
I have few NEOs in my portfolio. Shall I hold it for long term or invest it in a good NEO based upcoming ICO like NEX?

IMO, if you're holding NEO, keep doing it, because NEO is considered very promising crypto, it's like China's Ethereum. NEO exchange rate dump in the past due to the Chinese government's decision to ban cryptocurrencies. But I believe that the government will refuse this ban, and the NEO will rise again, promising to reach the $ 2,000 level by the end of 2018.
I agree. NEO is quite promising project and still has much more growth potential than many other top crypto currencies. NEO is also called as Chinese ethereum and the team working on NEO is transparent and hard working. China surely wont ban crypto currencies, but it will regulate it.

NEO could hit $1000 mark by the end of this year, but I don’t think it will reach $2000 mark, cause for that it will require huge market capitalization and massive support from new projects and ICO. I wont say its impossible, but its surely difficult.
177  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Google to BAN crypto advertising-includes Youtube on: March 16, 2018, 12:05:36 PM
I don't think it will shut down crypto youtube channels only the advertising at the beginning. If their content is about crypto they are only giving their option on the matter. So it's freedom of speech. The same as facebook did it was only for paid advertisement.
True. The channel will continue to run, no matter what, cause people can share their views, analysis, predictions and knowledge about particular topic.

Most probably the advertisements that get displayed on youtube with playing a video, etc will get banned as most of the times they promote scam projects and ICO’s and attract people to invest money in them. There is difference between banning of channel with crypto content and banning of crypto advertisements.
178  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think HODL is bad for your health? on: March 16, 2018, 11:34:24 AM
If it influences you too much and gives you too much stress than I do think it can be bad for your health.
Holding is not bad at all for those who are not faint hearted but those who are already into depression and easily suffer from anxiety are not supposed to invest too much into any coin which takes or demands patience from them.

Even if they are holding, they don’t need to check market rates and fluctuations on daily basis, it is better to visit exchanges off and on so that they stay calm and chill.
179  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who controls the Bitcoin system? on: March 15, 2018, 10:28:17 AM
I think nobody can control or own the bitcoin system like they can not control and possess the technology by email and the internet. I think Bitcoin is no different than a mobile application or program that offers a personal Bitcoin wallet and allows users to send and receive Bitcoin.
Bitcoin and other decentralized cryptocurrencies are controlled by everyone yet not controlled by anyone. Bitcoin is decentralized and hence, its price cannot be manipulated by any single person or authority, it is owned by people all over the world, therefore it is controlled by the whole community and not by any single person or authority.

The price of bitcoin is determined by supply and demand like any other asset in the world. The more the demand, the more is the price as the supply is limited.
180  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: XRP on: March 15, 2018, 08:52:58 AM
Are there any believers XRP could rise to $100 within a couple of years or would that be to optimistic?

Im still holding my 1000+ and keep buying more in small stacks of 200.

The reason for asking is that XRP/Ripple (whatever you wanna name it) has proven utility and with so
many financial institutes and other company's implementing the tech and in some way also the currency trough
Xrapid / Xvia / X*, wouldn't it be obvious if it would rise more in the future.

Im no expert trader or something, just trying to follow my own interpetations / logic.

Just curious about other people opinions.



I obviously keep other coins as well.

Happy moneymaking Cool Cool Cool

$100 is quite a big target for XRP to achieve considering its supply and current price. I would say the max price it will go in couple of years would be around 40-60$ as to go to 100$, it would require large market capitalization which is highly unlikely to happen currently considering the movement of the market.

But still XRP has huge potential and is quite undervalued currently, so I would suggest you to keep buying it, its secure investment for long term and will provide good returns being a coin from well known and reputed financial company.
