There are many things here that could go wrong.
For an example, the supply and demand needs to transfer money from one country to another. There's no way to move large amount of money without the consent of the governments involved. Doing it illegally would be busted regularly. And then comes the security of the merchants. For most of countries, you need to be licensed to operate financial related tasks.
1802  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long will existing encryption last? on: December 15, 2019, 04:49:05 PM
The current encryption technology is going to last less than what we predicted before.
Bitcoin's encryption and private keys would be vulnerable by the year 2030.
But only the chief projects working on it would achieve that feat and lets hope none of them would ever attack bitcoin.
1803  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: there are still many who invest in cryptocurrency? on: December 14, 2019, 04:05:27 PM
I am one of them. I'm converting half of my savings into crypto but I limit my investments into popular cryptos and IEOs from trusted exchanges. I resist selling for small price changes and haven't had a loss for last 6 months though the prices of crypto decreased in the time.

I'm having a similar situation here. I'm so into crypto that my girlfriend thinks I'm not giving her enough time. She knows about my crypto involvement and she's Okay with it if I stay away from gambling. And she founds out everytime I lose high amount in gambling. It's getting difficult for me to balance my job, crypto and girlfriend all at a time. I just hope she won't fall for any other.

British politics is being stuck with Brexit for too long. They should at least move.
People are fed up with this stand still. Britain has seen a lot worse situations, this would certainly pass.

Things are not going good for VeChain and the results are displayed on the price. VeChain was supposed to be the coin for China but lost it's major project and now struggles with such blunders rather than any good news. It's getting difficult for VeChain to ever attain back it's ATH.
1807  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: So are we waiting for Ethereum 2.0 to take full effect in 2030? on: December 13, 2019, 04:45:13 PM
If ethereum is to hold the 2.0 to 2030, it would be dead before that. Crypto market is rapidly changing and the ones that are not capable of adopting with the changing preference of the market, they'd be dead.
1808  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: A Planet-to-Planet Electronic Cash System on: December 13, 2019, 04:34:24 PM

The best thing about bitcoin is no one control it and everyone does.  This makes it a perfect value to trade between planets. Extra-terrestrial bodies are rich in untapped minerals and ores and they'd have a good trade for human things from earth.
But for that we'd need internet in the Mars and be available to every human settlements.
Bitcoin could even be the official currency of the mars.
1809  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Would You Trust Libra Coin With Your Money? on: December 13, 2019, 11:03:19 AM
I might not need to convert my money to libra ever. I'm not an advertiser on the Facebook platform and I have plenty of stablecoins and asset backed coins to trade with. There are no direct benefits of using Libra. They would be as good as bonga tokens from the bongacam.
1810  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: FEAR OF DUMPING on: December 13, 2019, 11:00:44 AM
The fear of dumping often makes the project team fear or avoid the payment of hunters until sometimes after the exchange listing. I wonder why the team make themselves restless on an easy thing like that when they can easily conduct their bounty with bitcoin or ethereum for payment. That will safe them of the fear that the bounty hunter will dump after the exchange listing.

A real project focuses on to achieve their roadmap. A dumping of 5% of their token won't make any difference. Exchange listing is one of the checkpoint in the roadmap.
The team really has no time watching at the coin price movement if they are really dedicated to deliver what they have stated they would.

I saw the similar statistics in relation to gun laws and there's completely no correlation. Of course in the countries where it's harder to get a gun there will be less deaths from firearms but total murder rates are related to culture not firearm access.

Sometimes even in a very non-violent country with low gun ownership somebody will go on killing spree like Anders Breivik in Norway.

Very true. But a mentally unstable killer with a gun would be able to kill more people than a mentally unstable killer with knife.
And For mentally unstable people having the concise to kill people is related to culture.

1813  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Anyone else notice that when share market down, crypto price goes up? on: December 12, 2019, 01:05:34 PM
Seems like there are no prominent direct relation between stock market and crypto market as both of them are to some extent speculative. Real estate on the other hand has some relation to both crypto and stocks and on a season of real estate buying and selling, which is Nov, Dec, Jan and Feb here, the crypto and stocks dips low.
1814  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin really still decentralized?? on: December 12, 2019, 12:33:01 PM
After the years in trading Bitcoin it came more and more clear to me that Bitcoin is technically not decentralized anymore... its mainly owned by huge mining farms or early adopters who are able to manipulate the market at will, many exchanges playing with Bitcoin and Altcoins by making fools out of the normal Joe who wants to enter the Crypto world, i know many here will think that you should be ready and get informed before taking any step into the crypto world, but does it not bother anyone that some people are enriching them self by kicking the crap out of your wallets??


Bitcoin Mining is dead unless you own a mining farm with the necessary hashrate, again only big companies having access to Bitcoin!!!


What is your thought about this??

There's been a lot of discussion about it in the past.
Bitcoin is one of the most decentralized currency ever. People may argue large amount of bitcoin is hold by limited individuals and companies and earned by large mining farms. But it's distribution is still much more decentralized than any other currency.
A context, 26 richest people owns more than rest of population

1815  Economy / Economics / Re: Can online platforms like Youtube and Facebook really be decentralized? on: December 12, 2019, 09:50:20 AM
Of course they could and there has already been a decentralized alternative for both of them. But the problem with decentralized platform is how to make it a safe place for different group of people and stop illegal contents and save copyright claims. Monitoring would be difficult and lengthy, if we speed up, there could be content war between different group of people, countries, political ideas and parties.
1816  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Best way to mix bitcoins on: December 12, 2019, 09:28:53 AM
Here are a few options:

1. ChipMixer (the most reputable mixer out there)
2. Wasabi wallet (a wallet with a built-in mixing functionality)
3. Deposit BTC into a centralized gambling site or exchange and then withdraw your funds.

In case of going with the 3rd option, you should know that these services will know so it's not as secure/safe as the first two options.


Using coin mixing site is the best way to go as you don't want to risk your coins to save a few fees. But if you want to try something different, you can go with third and with exchanges, leave the coins for some time, do some exchanges to seem normal, that could be to and from stable coins or popular coins you want to hold and withdraw in batches.

Swedish teen who started by protesting in from of the Swedish parliament for action against climate change now is the major attraction for media around the world. Time like every year selects one of the most influencing person in the year as Time's person of the year.

1818  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto trends that happened in 2019 on: December 11, 2019, 03:09:42 PM
Governments talking about using crypto?
World leaders talked about crypto in 2017 as well but this year, many has come forward promising to create their own cryptocurrency. Though it may not be as good as we know crypto as but it certainly would attract more people towards the real cryptocurrencies.
1819  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Rises to $20-$50k After Halving...Thoughts? on: December 11, 2019, 02:57:57 PM
What are your thoughts on Lightning Capital Hedge Fund Manager, Charles Hwang, predicting BTC price will rise between $20-$50k after Bitcoin halving?

 

Highly possible. Bitcoin is pose to a bull run. And bitcoin halving could be the real ingredient to start and catalyze the bitcoin bull.
Both of previous bitcoin halving were followed by a sharp increase in price and we could expect the same this time.
1820  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Facebook's Libra is being reviewed by the US government again on: December 11, 2019, 06:57:42 AM
Libra needs US and US wants something in return from the Libra project. Libra would want an environment to do business freely under the security of the US worldwide. Anything endorsed by US is readily accepted around the world while the ones banned by US has nearly no future.
The only thing US wants from Libra is sharing of every information the Libra would ever have.
