1641  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Can speculation destroy Bitcoin? on: November 29, 2018, 02:03:21 PM
The thing is bitcoin holded by many different people. bitcoin already certified as the most safest coin out there, no matter what news, it can only bring down  the price but will rise up eventually. people still have faith, still buying bitcoin.

Its the safest to invest too, if people are buying btc while the price was more than $10k, I think there are more people going to buy more too. Its popularity will not be destroyed even if they fork it over and over. It may have a low price compare to what it was back January of this year but still its considerable compare to what it was last 2016. Speculations can be use to make them more money though.

Feel sad for this young man (John Chau) and his family. But his religious beliefs and stupid act got him killed when he thought that he should preach the gospel and convert The Sentinelese people to Christianity so they can be saved.

He repeatedly tried to enter the island which is banned by Indian Gov for any tourists and local people. He forgets that its one of the oldest surviving and isolated tribe on Earth and they don't need saving from anyone. https://www.survivalinternational.org/campaigns/mostisolated

According to his journal and emails, it's very clear that he was on a suicide mission due to his religious beliefs.

The sad part is his body still on the island, chances are it can't be recovered and some Christian group naming him as a ‘Martyr’
https://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2018/11/christians-claim-dead-missionary-was-a-martyr-call-for-punishment-of-tribes-people/



Maybe he thought he'd be saint after this death of him just as some people who were proclaimed saints by the catholics after the brutal death when they tried to convert savages.

I can see Sentinelese aren't the typical look of an Indian Beige though, more like an African indeed. If they are cannibals then that priest probably end up in their  tummies.

Surprising that tokens that intend to develop an instant payment system weren't added on the list at all. One that I particularly have in mind is the STK token. Also XRP meant to be that was as they also claimed. There seem no new token in the list which uses the ETH network.
1644  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: HOPE FOR SHIT COIN on: November 26, 2018, 01:26:43 PM
A new developer taking over the project would likely to happen if a project concept is really good but that I doubt because why in the first place did it died?
A dead coin is likely to remain dead if it died all because no one supported it already. There was one that that I remember that once died but lucky to have survived still such as SEXCOIN. I'm not sure if it did survive this time.
1645  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ethereum will rise again. on: November 25, 2018, 02:41:47 PM
I think it seems that the influence of BTC is currently decreasing, so ETH is the same. maybe it takes time to recover at a good price just the patience we need to wait.

There were claims its because XRP are going to dominate after BTC, of course it comes from the XRP worshipper, you will find these guys funny every time they raise such issue being the dominant in the coming years. ETH will rise but it comes with great change in the system, maybe POS will help. Somehow people find ICO teams dragging the price down because of course they got their funds from people and they lose nothing if they dump their ETH.
1646  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Tulips or reborn? on: November 25, 2018, 01:20:04 PM
Bitcoin is by no means a tulip, but many people will leave the cryptocurrency market. This is inevitable. At present, the cryptocurrency market is sluggish, but investors should not lose confidence, losing confidence is equal to losing the future.

Mine was a provocation, I don’t think that Bitcoin is a tulip. I wanted to point at the fact that the ICO trend polluted the market quite a lot.

That is not to blame, the more ICO the more tokens that will use the platform tokens to make them valuable. ICO is a good development, its just that when something goes up will always come down. People are just cashing out and also those who p[umped the market are making money at every spikes because there are still lots of investors are trying to get into the market. And then all the bad news and fud came along with this bear market.  BTC is not tulip,  BTC has limited supply.

None of these coins solve the adoption problem, they compete to its perfection but I think the biggest problem is its utility which I believed solve by platforms already. Bitcoin still can remain king because of its limited supply and widely known everywhere that when people think of crypto its bitcoin that comes in mind. It will be the king still even when confirmation could take hours.
1648  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are you selling your altcoins so soon? on: November 25, 2018, 05:33:10 AM

Well you can understand why they sell their altcoins too early if you experience the trauma of lossing more money instead tan holding. Just as what is happening today where bears is dominating. If you bought ETH at $170 thinking its the bottm while now you see it less than $120, then its gotta to be time to panick. That is what is happening now. No one is interested to even buy BTC but only those who are rich enough who can wait til it goes up.
1649  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty Hunters being trapped on: November 24, 2018, 06:14:00 PM


Seen a lot of them campaigns are extending but this is because of the bear market which they didn't collect enough. Its only logical to extend though so that they can ask for more as they have to pay for everything that is needed like exchange listing which cost too much these days. But delaying the distribution however seem not fair that they participants have to wear signature until they say they can remove.
1650  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will the bottom be reached? on: November 24, 2018, 04:33:21 PM


No one really knows where the bottom but only assumption whether when price are going to be stable. Prices will just stick for a month or so and people think the price are already stable so they buy but all of a sudden starts to dip again making them panic. SO its best not to buy until the price rise up to more than $6500 because that's where it stick for a long time.
1651  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH continues to lose value (road down to $50?) on: November 23, 2018, 02:43:51 PM


Any thread in the forum will always be spammed. After just 5 pages, people won't care enough to read page after page but will just read the first post and reply or reply after reading the last post. Anything in the middle will be posted with spam.

Anyway, Its a terrible thing that ETH that slowly dying after it hit $1200 early this year. I can't imagine how much tears drooling down when a guy invest and hold up to now while he bought it at a price of more then a thousand.
1652  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Now or never! on: November 23, 2018, 01:55:39 PM


I don't know whether its true but there were news I've recently read in the news feed that miners from china are selling their mining devices per kilo. It sound a bit exaggerated to me but there might be a slight truth behind this. Its possible that indeed mining isn't worth this time. Its probably better to go with POS or DPOS tokens.
1653  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]TwilightCoin - Decentralized Crowdfunding Platform for Anime Creators&Fans on: November 23, 2018, 01:33:25 PM


Its a good concept but this might not have a good demands though, I don't think there are billions of people interested in anime nor have billions of artist creating anime characters. But I'd hope to see this project succeed though, I like anime and have been watching lots of it in the past years.
1654  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance listing on: November 21, 2018, 03:23:41 PM

To be listed in Binance is a good indication of a coin's success. There had been lots of coins aiming to get listed there but were not. I suppose Binance now are going to ask more from a team who wants their coin listed. But I think binance will consider the support of the coin's community which is why a year ago they were doing votes from users before they add.
1655  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Last quarter hope? on: November 21, 2018, 02:55:28 PM
I really don't see any changes on the crypto in this last quarter continuous price drop has disappointed everyone in this forum and the market has crashed. I don't think there will be a bull run this year.

Crypto markets can be surprising.  We could see bitcoin triple in a month, it has happened in the past.  My main point is never say never.  Thats why I never advise shorting bitcoin because the momentum can change just like that.  Even if it doesn't soar up within the next month we still get an opportunity to accumulate more cheap coins.

We all know that as we have seen that happened before but this time seem to be the most devastating when funds are being withdrawn and we thought its been the bottom of it all so we were buying. ITs just disappointing to see that this dumps are orchestrated after the fork of BCH which the people behind it are the ones we thought are trying to prove how successful blockchain technology can be.
1656  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: See ETH on: November 20, 2018, 06:40:17 PM
I am in great losses holding ETH by converting Bitcoin to Ethereum when 0.075 BTC=1 ETH. Now under 0.03 btc. ETH is really going to be a shit coin i think others may not think.

You're not the only who are in loss. A lot of us are probably looking forward to see ETH starts to climb after it dip to $200. Less $70 to it is a huge loss for someone how holds thousands of ETH. They'd be holding it for years if they are not going to sell at loss.

Is there any developing news? anything???
do you know of the tokens of selfpay are on exchanges yet?

They were saying Selfpay is merge with NodeSwap. This is a different story now but still something to get wary as there were accusations thrown to this project being scam from the very start, they gain a little trust when they show registration from Singapore government but in the end they once again ruin the opportunity by quitting and introduce this NodeSwap.
1658  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is Facebook sustainable long-term? on: November 20, 2018, 04:05:44 PM
Nothing is sustainable in the long term, least not social media platforms. They normally have a lifespan of 10 years or less, Facebook is over that now but the signs are already there that people are beginning to transition away from it. They have a large majority of their old client base but they're struggling to attract new signups from the younger generation.

There has to have one that is going up before the old one disappears like how myspace fade, facebook seem going strong still. There is no threat to facebook as we see it today but maybe one day when blockchain social media site prove itself to have more privacy settings than it.  They are innovating for the mass so facebook might stay longer and will still be used by lots of us.
1659  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH @ 158 USD on: November 19, 2018, 11:54:05 AM
It gets worse every time ETH drops, the fud seem winning this time. I'm starting to suspect everyone is dumping while me is holding the few ETH I hold for years.

 
Now many people are in a pessimistic mood, this is natural, because it is not clear to the end what is happening and when the fall will end. But I am sure that this is a temporary drop and still prices will start to rise, because we all know that the SEC understands the need and benefit of adopting regulations for the regulation and legalization of cryptocurrencies and it is only a matter of time.

It doesn't feel like natural anymore when it all fall down like continues to do so while it already grow. Another fud is manufactured every time it grow, fud after fud seem not a natural thing.
1660  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty Delayed Distribution & Exchange on: November 19, 2018, 10:55:59 AM

The team is perhaps holding the so that the price won't dip while bear market still continue. If they have distributed the tokens right now just as the team who did last few months, their token would have been valuable still. Weidex didn't yet distributed just like the Bitfence because they know they can contribute to the dip of the market.
