16561  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What is considered a "Constructive Post" on Signature Campaigns? on: October 22, 2017, 02:35:51 PM
Well constructive post in my opinion in majority of cases would be a post that you would post even if you are not in a signature campaign.

So to post constructively, you should add to a discussion first of all. You should help other posters in a thread if they asked for a help. You should raise questions or challenge posters in order to make discussion deeper and more relevant. These questions or statements that you make can sometimes be subjective, sometimes you can paraphrase other people, it just depends.

So just a normal discussion in my opinion. Also the size of the post doesn't matter in my opinion. Sometimes a person will say more in a sentence than someone in 10 sentences. This doesn't mean that you should post all one liners.

Cheers!

Can a relevant question  on the thread can be considered a constructive post or not? As mentioned above its always an answer to the question posted?

I assume you meant asking a question on a thread that you didn't make?

It can be, as long as you stay in topic. Just make sure to read the replies first and use the search function of this forum to check if someone has asked the same question in the past, just so we wouldn't have redundant questions here.

What career are you referring to? I assume you're referring to signature campaigns since you're asking for tips on what to do before posting? Since you're a newbie, you're not qualified in joining any signature campaigns. You need to get at least a Jr Member rank.

You don't need to do anything before posting here in bitcointalk, just read the rules first: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0

First of all, what are you intentions? Did you buy bitcoin/crypto to invest in it? To trade? Or to simply just use it?

The only thing you can pretty much do is to not buy on all-time-highs. Probably wait for some slight dips before buying. You simply just cant predict with pinpoint accuracy when the best time or best pricepoint to buy a certain cryptocurrency is.
16564  Economy / Speculation / Re: How the Fork in 25.OCT will effect Bitcoin? on: October 22, 2017, 12:54:16 AM
Couple of possible scenarios:

1. People move back their funds to alts after claiming their bitcoin gold. Effectively bringing down the price of bitcoin.
2. People converting all their bitcoin gold for bitcoin, increasing the price of bitcoin by a bit.
3. Both 1 and 2. Probably making the price of bitcoin stay as is at around $5700-$6200 mark for a few days/weeks.

Decide for yourself when or at what price your entry point is going to be. No one knows for sure what's going to happen on the crypto markets.
16565  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoin trading is very bad now. on: October 21, 2017, 05:03:33 PM
Your title: "Altcoin trading is very bad now"

Not because altcoins are in a sort of bearish trend right now it doesn't mean it's bad for trading. Definitely bad for long term holders that bought at the top, but take note: you definitely can still take advantage of a bearish trend. It's Just that of course you really need to find really good entry points and exit points.
16566  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Explain the concept of ICO's to a newbie on: October 21, 2017, 03:47:18 PM
First off, if you're new to bitcoin or blockchain technology in general, it definitely is a very bad idea to go straight to ICOs.

Anyway, ICOs are pretty much like crowdfunding but for cryptocurrencies, whereas you receive a certain amount of a certain token depending on how much BTC/ETH you offered.

Info on bitcoin gold: http://btcgpu.org/
Info on Segwit2x: https://www.coindesk.com/explainer-what-is-segwit2x-and-what-does-it-mean-for-bitcoin/

Alts might go up after the first fork because people might be converting their BTC back to alts. This might be the case, but it's definitely not guaranteed. How long will alts go up? No one really knows. Your guess is just as good as mine. Will the same happen on the second fork? Maybe. But then again, no guarantees.

You can use whatever wallet to claim your bitcoin gold, as long as you have access to your wallet's private keys.
16568  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happen if bitcoin build a headquarter bank on: October 21, 2017, 05:47:18 AM
It completely depends if someone can execute a project like that while it being decentralized. If it ended up being centralized then it is a complete waste of time and is the opposite of one of the main factors that bitcoin is trying to achieve.

I have completely no idea if this is possible though. If you're talking about a physical bank, then no it's not a good idea.
16569  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investment regrets! on: October 21, 2017, 03:55:16 AM
I think pretty much everyone that didn't get in at those price ranges are having regrets. But does it matter right now? I don't think so. It's very very unlikely and next to impossible to go back to those $1000 or below price ranges. The only thing we can do right now is to hop on right in and just wait for more price rises. If we wait more longer we would once again regret it especially if prices go higher really soon.

Don't worry. $6000 is still pretty low.  Wink
16570  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Found this today why bitcoin is better on: October 21, 2017, 03:18:11 AM
I would actually do this if only this isn't illegal (I think, correct me if I'm wrong). Decent publicity nonetheless, but there definitely are better and more legal alternatives.

This guy still did the best in my opinion.  Cheesy

"Is it worth it to invest my money into stocks?"
"Is it worth it to use my money to start a business?"

It depends, what stocks are you trying to invest in? what kind of business are you wanting to start?

Same thing. It completely depends on what ICO you're planning on investing in.
16572  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to become a TRADER on: October 20, 2017, 03:39:46 PM
I tried to live trading I earned a .001 btc. I prefer more profit than trading.

You prefer more profit than trading? What?

Just continue to play around with small amounts for now to get a feel of the markets. Not because you earned .001BTC on your first try it doesn't mean it's going to be profit every single trade. There's definitely going to be those red days when doing daytrading. You just have to minimize those losses.
16573  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin courses or self-studying the subject? on: October 20, 2017, 10:58:59 AM
I personally think courses are quite irrelevant, same reasons as to what CodyAlfaridzi said. Cryptocurrency courses are probably better only for the trading/investing aspect of it.

To learn about a certain cryptocurrency just simply read their whitepaper. I wouldn't go that path if you're really new though. Focus on learning about blockchain technology in general instead first before jumping in to those big stuff.

Read this[1] guide compilation first, this should give you a good general idea on what bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general are.

16574  Economy / Speculation / Re: Gold Versus Bitcoin? on: October 20, 2017, 02:24:30 AM
Depends how much gold you're referring to(ounce,gram,kilo). I'm going to assume you meant a Kilo of gold (currently around $41,350) since bitcoin has already surpassed the price of an ounce and a gram of gold. Will it overtake the price of a kilo of gold? I believe so as it's very possible. The only question is when.

Will bitcoin overtake gold’s place?
It might be the case investors and adopters will use both gold and bitcoin, revealing either/or debates to be more about blackening bitcoin’s reputation than substantial analysis. Legacy banks usually prefer status quo to radical innovation.
Are you hedging in preference to bitcoin over gold?

It is unlikely that bitcoin will take over gold because the value of currency of a country is based on gold. The more gold you have on reserve the higher the value of the currency is. And one of the best characteristics about gold is that it never days and its value almost never decreases. As for bitcoin its value is very volatile it can go from &5000 a coin to $3000 in just minutes depending on the situation, but don't think that being volatile is a bad thing because just like what happened recently that bitcoin price has skyrocketed and many have earned huge amounts of money after they have bought bitcoin even though there is a fud by china. So it really depends on how it is manage and invested and by whom is investing in it. for governments gold is the better option and for companies and individuals bitcoin is better.

Bitcoin's volatility is normal due to it being a very new asset, unlike gold. But yes, gold's price is drastically less volatile.
16575  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What do you expect from cloud mining? on: October 19, 2017, 03:12:21 PM
What do I expect from cloud mining? I expect to not make profit.

Look around bitcointalk about topics about Genesis Mining or cloud mining in general. It's either:
  • a ponzi scheme
  • a straight-up scam
  • or it's far far from being profitable

It's simply just one of those three, 99.9% of the time.
16576  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: UK Members - Would you use a Bitcoin ATM? on: October 19, 2017, 02:59:35 PM
I mean, whether or not I'm from UK or not, in my opinion bitcoin ATMs are great because of the publicity and popularity it somehow creates, but damn, those markup prices. What's the markup? like more or less 10%? Unless I'm not home and I'm super in a rush to get a hold of a few bitcoins(very unlikely), hell no. I'll stick to exchanges for now.
There is a reason why they charge that much for a simple transaction[1].

Honesly, I would use it even if it's way more expensive than using an exchange for the same reason why I still use Bitcoin to buy game at Steam: People won't care about pushing Bitcoin further if there is a low demand for its use. No merchant will care to accept Bitcoin if everybody is just "nah, Bitcoin price will rise even more, so I'm not spending them" or "I can pay 10% extra to buy this with Bitcoin or just use my credit card"

[1] https://coinatmradar.com/blog/revenue-and-costs-of-running-a-bitcoin-atm/

I understand that to put up a bitcoin ATM you would need all those requirements and all those costs. But still. I'm also a bitcoin user when paying for Steam games, even in the past when bitcoin was significantly cheaper, and also even knowing that it would rise in price. But I honestly wouldn't go out and buy from an ATM with a 10% markup if I can simply go to an exchange site in the comfort of my own home, especially as an individual that isn't close to being financially wealthy.
16577  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum high fees? on: October 19, 2017, 02:23:35 PM
Most wallet's fees usually aren't really optimized for best best transaction speeds and fees. Usually even though it says "super economy" transaction fee it's still going to be a bit high. The thing you can do is that you adjust your fees to a significantly lower one. If I remember correctly, the past week I've only been paying 30sat/byte; having 1 confirmation in a bit less than 30 minutes, which is very good enough for me. Not sure right now though as I haven't transacted since last week.

Use either Bittrex or Binance. As to tips, there are so much posts here in the Trading Discussion forum about those stuff.

I'm pretty sure there are malware out there that can do that. But if I remember correctly, some apps blocks screenshots when viewing private keys on mobile; I think Copay does this. Still not a good idea to hold good amounts of crypto on your mobile wallet though.

To be safe, grab yourself a hardware wallet. You can never be too safe:
