Religion was a unified form of law and instructions. They consisted scientific study as well as taught healthy habits. God was filled wherever they needed to caution the reader. They needed a power to fear whenever the presence of human authority was not available.
Science is the systematic study through observation and experiments. There are no places for assumptions.
As, religion also consisted of science, they look similar to that point.

Most probably they are some investment funds. As a whale would not buy, sell or move a fund that large as that may bring on issues like investigation for money laundering. And people would not just keep moving their funds unless they are upto something. Either the coins are bought or sold. Or stored in a cold wallet for long term.
1843  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Recent Icos facts on: December 06, 2019, 04:28:21 PM
There are a lot of Icos ongoing without specific products. I still believe many of them are going to give us a huge adoption in this space. But the problem is many Icos are planning to get investments by providing nothing with a solid scamming exit plan. You won't be able to trace them by reading their WP, Team, activities even company formation. Recently I saw an ICO, they were genuinely working to do something but later they ran away with a bit of raised money. They closed their website, TG group and everything.
Can anyone suggest to me how to choose the scam icos ?


It's getting really difficult to differentiate between a legtimate ICO and a fraudulent one. If you want to be safe, invest in the projects you personally know about or by visiting the project you are interested in. This may not be possible sometime so you could also seek suggestions from the experts who do so.
You can trust popular launchpad like binance to have some detailed research before listing an IEO.

I am not taking sides here. I love crypto and I need fiat.
I jet paid in fiat and has to get my things done in fiat. Crypto for me is mostly an investment. I aspect the price of the crypto I hold would increase in price and I'll have a profit selling it. I don't expect the same from fiat.

You looking as serious as game-protect, who helps user get back their coins scammed by the Online casinos specially licensed in the Curaçao.
We need more of such users to make crypto world a better place for normal naive investors.
1846  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Sec regulation making the Bull market slower? on: December 06, 2019, 02:18:33 PM
We yet to see another Bull market after 2017. SEC is significantly regulating the Crypto but it's still yet to be processed. ICos, STOs then ETF, are we going to get any indication for those staff sooner?

Government and it's decision are going to shape the future of blockchain technology. And it's better to have a slow and Natural growth than have a quick bull followed by a quicker bear. Crypto is infamous as high risk high reward scheme. That is going to hurt both its credibility and profit for long term holders.
1847  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What's your Bitcoin cash price prediction on: December 05, 2019, 04:10:00 PM
The Bitcoin Cash community is planning on testing a beta Telegram tipping bot  “Tipmebchbot”. This bot enables Telegram users to tip other users using BCH. With this development, 2020 might the price surge and by the end of the year, Bitcoin cash price might reach $4000 USD.

What's your point of view on this? Let me know!

Bitcoin cash is one of the promising mineable currency at the moment. They have an active development team, good support form miners and a good community followings. Their quick transaction and cheap fees are making it one of  the favorite coins for merchants.

Every discussion on Hitler ends up with the ethnically targeted concentration camps and killing of Jews.
But people rarely discuss what brought that situation. What was the stand of Hitler on the issue. And how that amount of jews ended up in Germany and in the hands of Hitler.
1849  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Confused, Your thoughts is needed on: December 05, 2019, 02:25:53 PM
There is a part in bounties i still don't get, bounty allocations are 1% to 10% of total max supply of the project token i wonder how dumping this can drag down its value? or most new projects have ways of dumping behind our back? For example Tokoin bounty leaves me speechless, many hunters sold their tokens but token value don't even move an inch from 0.08, what makes it withstand the dump while others would have crumbled back to 0.001 or more ..

Bounty dumping is the excuse every poorly planned and childish ICO projects put on to save their faces. The real dumping comes from the bonus investors and in cases of a scam project, the team itself. If the project is so concerned about the dumping, they could provide the bounty in other cryptos like bitcoin and Ethereum.
People still have the hang of ICO boom of 2017 and they thing their 10 minutes set up website is going to make them millionaires.

Everyone keeps pointing to trading as the best alternative to earning in this bear market but my past experience about trading was bad and now i am willing to give a try again, can any one give me good guide? don't just tell me to find strategy without giving me any, teach me how to fish

It's still 80% luck and rest 20% strategy, getting insider news, experience and automated trading (maybe a trading bot).
The introduction of stable coins have made it easier to make profit trading. And in current volatile market, buying low and selling high on daily basis could yield a good profit.

It's really a good initiative that would be useful for the real homeless people and discourage the people homeless by choice.
Every people can be useful in one way or other. It's better be worthy to the world than to lead a meaningless life begging.
Even the specially abled people can get the job that suits them.

Quote
Crypto-focused Canadian investment fund manager 3IQ Corp. announced on Thursday that it has filed a preliminary prospectus for the IPO of The Bitcoin Fund. More importantly, the prospectus dated Nov. 27 has been receipted by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) after previously rejecting it. The IPO will offer two classes of units at $10 each.

The Bitcoin Fund is a closed-end investment fund established as a trust under Ontario’s laws, the company explained, adding that “the units will be an eligible qualified investment for registered investment accounts.” The fund’s investment objectives are to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation and exposure to bitcoin and its daily price movement in USD, the announcement details.

In other words this is a listed investment trust devoted to bitcoin.

Now we wait to see if all the hedge funds and so on decide to buy shares to get exposure to bitcoin in a regulated way.

With the latest row between president Trump and Prime minister Trudeau in London, Canada could need to further integrate crypto to stay away from economical bargaining from the US. Crypto is the way for financial freedom.
1853  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do Humans Have Free Will? on: December 04, 2019, 03:04:12 PM
Free itself is an ambiguous word. Free is never really free.
Free comes with terms and conditions. Set by others and our environment and unconsciously set by our own experience and ideology.
Emotions bring on hormones and hormones bring on emotions.
People perceives free differently. Because we are to some extent always influenced by the ideas we've taken in.  We are never 100% free.
1854  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Warning! Ferrum Network CEO is fake and project is scam. on: December 04, 2019, 02:44:31 PM
Not to support or accuse Ferrum but it's not the correct way to accuse a project. You would need more proof to accuse such an established project.
But the intentions of this user is just to spread the FUD. Of the first 3 and only posts made by it, 2 are made to call ferrum a scam.
1855  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are the world’s governments not using cryptocurrencies? on: December 04, 2019, 12:07:24 PM
Crypto is firstly a work in progress. It still has a lot of things to be tested to establish it as a proven technology.
Government on the other hand operates as being a middleman in trade of goods and services. It gets paid to maintain order in chaos.
Crypto if successfully implemented not only decreases the size of government but also threatens the business that flourishes under it's shadow.
1856  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Did Satoshi Nakamoto Choose 21M as Bitcoin’s Maximum Supply? on: December 04, 2019, 05:17:29 AM
How did Satoshi Nakamura come up with 21 million, for his (their?) limit to bitcoin?

Satoshi Nakamoto settled on a target time of 10 minutes per block with an initial subsidy of 50 BTC set to halve once every 4 years.

4 years / 10 minutes ≈ 210 000
50 + 25 + 12.5 + 6.25 + ... = 100
210 000 * 100 = 21 million


So, the question could be why did he chose 50. Why not 100 or any other number. 4 years too could be arguably unique. But there are several reasons why 4 years and 10 minutes fit.
1857  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Opinions about quitting mining on: December 03, 2019, 05:08:57 PM
Tell me if my plan is bad, the first time i entered crypto space i started with mining rig setups but after some time its no more profitable so i stopped mining, now i start joining airdrops and bounties but present market condition is not helping, now i decide to sell my rig and find other business to divert the money to, if bull run ever comes i will still have coins to sell since most of my bounties i hold the ones with use cases, is selling my mining rig a good call?

It's your decision to take. But by mining, you are not just brining a profit to yourself but are contributing towards sustaining the coin. Miners are the soul of crypto (Mineable coins).
What coin are you specifically mining. Both the BTC and ETH do have a huge possibilities of rising sharply next year as BTC goes through halving and ETH through upgrade.
1858  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What other uses does Blockchain have aside from Cryptocurrency? on: December 03, 2019, 12:46:33 PM
Blockchain could the the backbone of IOT in the future. Our smart gadgets and devices needs to flawlessly contact with each other for our optimal comfort. Blockchain could be used for the communication. Blockchain is also being tested for autonomous driving cars, such open technology could be the key to build unhackable networks.

Let's hope most of the banks readily goes along accepting bitcoins and crypto for both deposit and withdrawals. This would enable them to to be a center for crypto around the Europe. Germany is becoming the center of European economy and they are the connecting economy of the east and the west. Their crypto adoption would boost crypto adoption around the world.

He might be a tech geek but is a general stupid to go around teaching oppressive regimes and boast about it. He even was publicly stating that he'd visit North Korea this year too. He could have remotely and anonymously addressed the conference but he chose to ignore any precaution for himself.
