I believe for crypto currencies we could not get useful information from anywhere else if you ignore this forum.
For altcoins, you can easily find which coins are coming up and with potential from this forum. It is up to you and your knowledge on selecting them because if you start listening to others you might end up with paid reviews.

For the case of bitcoins, you need to dependent on technical tools rather than news for making profits. There is a general saying: technical analysis will be winning at the final over information on news and events.

The time taken for deposit and withdrawal is not same across exchanges. Moreover in one particular exchange itself we cannot be sure when they will be processing unless it is fully automated. (Depositing is fully automated in all exchanges as far as I have come across, but only very few exchanges are processing withdraw automated others still manually checking and processing to prevent scams).

I believe there is no summarized information available on this, you need to check yourself. I believe it will be easy because you are going to check hardly in two or three your preferred exchanges.

I don't think there would be any possibility of going for arbitrage in complete automated way because it involves more than one exchange and coordinating across exchanges is not an easy task imo.

But for bitcoin investment, any amount like both small and big capital will be perfectly suitable for again both long-term and short-term plans. But investing is completely different from trading and unlike investments, you must look for good time to start trading. Because trading is a kind of short-term investing plans.

When you are looking for quick profits for your investments, it means you are into trading. To make good profit in short period, you must always look for supporting factors like price will go up or not. This alone will decide your good time to start.

I am unhappy if something bad happened with you but honestly I have been using goldmoney since sometime now and I did not had any issues, but the price of goldmoney seems dropping a bit because when I deposited earlier like 10 dollars now it's around $7-8  ( last time when I checked ).

I really hope they don't scam users but I have seen a few user's scamming them too .. by making their own referrals.

I guess we do need to worry about owner's name and his country as long as he is honest and quick enough to provide all kind of supports. But these characteristics are constantly changing I mean we cannot be sure about one person's honesty for all the times as its human nature when people get greedy they may start lying.

I believe staying cautious with one casino is more important than defining some criteria for choosing them.   

Do you get cricket and tennis matches scheduled on every weekend, I am sorry I have not noticed about it. I guess when you are finding your entertainment and luck with sports betting means you may try on week days too if you hectic work schedule permits. Because sports betting will not give negative results most of the times so you do it if any time prefers.

But other types of gambling are too good if we restrict ourselves only for week end as it will give more control over gambling activities than getting addicted to it.

It is a proven point statistically and economically that diversification is much safer than all your investment in one thing.

It may seem like you are missing out on the high gain you get from risky investment but in the long run the risky investments do not pay back as often as the safe ones and you end up having less money than if you had all your money in separate investments. Although in the short run you don’t see amazing profits in the long run you earn much more.

Life is so simple. Except mining and drastic price appreciation of bitcoin, all other opportunities to earn bitcoin or with bitcoin are almost same. I mean to say you do not require any special efforts to make a change. Just earn how you will be doing online.

There are a lot of freelance jobs are available which may pay bitcoin or not. In the case you always want bitcoin, and you are getting paid in fiats just buy bitcoins with your wages.

Make your account established in terms of higher rank in this forum and participate in signature campaign it is a worthy idea for your time. But now itself you can start earning bitcoins/fiats with your skills. Check service section of this forum and google for freelancing jobs.

Actually some wrongdoer's are using bitcoins to their advantage. Since bitcoins can't be traced they are using it for money laundering and some even for criminal activities, also bitcoin's are not centralized therefore there is no proof or ID needed to use them, which though is a very nice advantage since its the first currency for people but at the same time criminals can also us it.

It is like " friction is a necessary evil " and similarly its bitcoins, we all need them though some people use it for wrong activities.

The discussion is not if the HYIP sites are good or bad rather it's more about how e can spend our bitcoins in various stores. The place where I live there are no bitcoins ATM's but the city next to me, I heard some ATM have been installed there recently though I am not sure.

I believe there are no stores and nothing needed if we can get the bitcoins ATMs everywhere since they can get cash and spend them and deposit the rest again to get bitcoins.

Yeah if you run a business, dumps would be a major concern unless you have faith that in the long run bitcoin will continue to rise.

I think the safest bet would be to wait until after the halving takes place and things even out a little. Then there would be less fluctuations maybe but there would be higher transaction fees possibly. I’m not really sure about a fifteen percent increase in sales though. How did he figure that?

That’s a good point. I hadn’t really thought of that aspect of bitcoin before but it makes sense. I think that since smart phones are indeed becoming more and more a part of our everyday life everywhere in the world this will only help bitcoin.

The point about the QR codes is good too. If people are going to be convinced to use a foreign currency they have to have as many perks and facilities to make that transition as possible.

Yes, not even with altcoins, I could not foresee the possibilities of success with this idea. Because random people will rush to book profits before the group admin asks to. This might be one piratical problem, we cannot be sure how random people will behave out of greediness to ensure their profits before the herd.

I believe already there are groups but must have formed with known people and they are manipulating bitcoin/altcoin prices based on their capital strength. I read somewhere like people form skype groups for these types of purposes.

But I haven't rally traded much with bitcoins though I have bought and sold bitcoins at countless number of occasions.

I usually try to translate a few thread to my local language or get some free coins via other bounty methods like FB like and share and a lot more, this is beneficial in two ways, basically first you would never panic if price goes high or lo since you got them free. The other is this is a no investment trading.

This exchange is getting more fishy time after time, there are more complaints on here than anything else talked about. If you see an exchange going rogue like this with only complaints coming from the users, it is time to withdraw everything you have and run. Hopefully they will recover and fix everything to attract people back but for now, everyone with a same mind would leave.

I listened to the newest one now. I liked it, you guys sound like you know what you are doing.
I am not sure how feasible it is but you might want to try youtube channel as well, definitely would get massive amount of subscribers.

Also I didn’t know about bitmain and asicboost and segwit connection. That gives a personal profit for a global idea, horrible doing by bitmain.

But do not follow just words. I mean just closely watch how your friends are doing with their Forex trading. I am afraid to say most of the Forex traders are most of the times struggling to find their day. It is not that easy to find consistent success with Forex trading. On the other hand, bitcoin traders are very much successful with their efforts.

We cannot be sure all the Forex traders will be getting into one type of results all the times. There are many successful Forex traders but I am saying above as far as I have observed with some of my friends who are into Forex trading.

Good definition. Being a bitcoin holder, I'm not just expecting 10x appreciation. I just look for bitcoin values to hit million dollars so that I could have some of my dreams come into reality. So, my definition of going to the moon would be getting a price levels in millions.

I'm sure in next 5 to 10 years bitcoin prices will be having values in millions by considering the adoption rate. Mathematically prices and adoptions will follow exponential growth.

My definition is purely based on how many bitcoins I am holding. In future if I will be able to save more bitcoins, I guess I will alter my definition of "going to the moon".

Your reason for holding gold or simply diversifying investments seems valid because holding only bitcoin is never recommended. But the reason why we are saving and holding bitcoin for long term is not about to have support on emergency situations but we are all expecting huge prices for bitcoin in near future as bitcoin prices are not yet saturated.

We are all holding bitcoin and gold but the expectations will be different. I'm holding gold just to have more options in my investments portfolio otherwise I would have saved only bitcoins.

When you do not want to value your efforts/properties by government with their inflated momentary systems, you can choose (for example) either gold or bitcoin as your basic financial unit. But gold has many disadvantages practically for saving and for transacting, so bitcoin will be the right solution.

Just think about other payments systems/medium of exchanges for example, currencies or gold or diamonds.
Fiats are just papers only governments back it to have some value. The gold has no significant differences from the iron bar in your window. We people buy it for some greater value because we are sure there is a demand for it when we want to sell it. Same to diamonds, just stones but demands gives them some value.

Now, why bitcoin should not have some value even it is only existing in electronic format ?
