21  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will hit 25k by the end of this Year? on: April 13, 2018, 09:00:24 AM
That wasn't a pump actually. It was the response to the opening of a new market in the Middle East. BTC was declared "halal" by Sharia law and a market of about 1.8 billion people opened up and started to buy.

You can read more about it here: https://www.ccn.com/bitcoin-declared-compliant-with-sharia-law-price-surges/

The reason might be a trigger, but rise was still a speculative pump.  Very few of those 1.8m in the new market would be in a position to buy yesterday, need to get accounts open, verified etc.  So this was existing traders hoping for that market coming in some time in the future.

Did renowned analyst give reason for this?  Or is it just pluck a number a bit higher than last year to make people feel good, without looking like you're pumping.   If there's no reasons for this number, its no better than any guess from you or I.

Its time we take action on fake accounts and bots that have been created to promote scammers, on paid shillers and greedy investors, that are willing to support scammers for their personal gain no matter if others get scammed. ...
Scammers are the parasites of this industry and they should be eliminated.


Its quite comical that you decide to label everyone who doesnt agree with you as a scammer, fake account etc. when you do nothing but post on this thread.

Nah, Binance will never happen. You can spam those gifs on Telegram all you want and try to fool people, but they will never ever list a scam.

They list Verge and Tron, so thats not true.  Cheesy

Binance will list what drives trading activity, it's only a matter of time/fees/development for them to list CS.

In answer to your question though, I don't see why governments shouldn't tax Bitcoin/cryptocurrency, like any other investment.


I still consider bitcoin as a currency, not an investment! And the fact that the price of the currency is growing relative to other currencies should not be taxed. For example, if the euro rate has increased relative to the dollar - it is not taxed. Therefore, bitcoin should not be taxed.

Are you sure about that?  It may be treated as a capital gain and taxed as an asset, or if you trade regularly it may be treated as income and taxed as such.

Its down to speculation, just like the price of Silver in 1980.

We are still in the process of getting listed on CoinMarketCap (CMC). Unfortunately, being listed on CMC is a difficult task as it requires a daily volume of minimum $100k. Nevertheless, we are working hard to improve our daily volume by getting the DAN token listed on many exchanges. Half of the way is covered since our daily volume has already reached $50k.

Really?  Why there so many listings with less than $100k volume, about half in fact.

There are also far larger challenges to Bitcoin before it hits 21 million coins, the block size will not support serious usage for the next decade let alone hundred years.  We wait to see if Lightning will be adopted and if that works as expected.

PoW is fine if only you can manage the work to be more easily distributed.  That was the original intention, that everyone mined or at least it was common.  But the "work" was easy to transfer to ASIC, so they took over and lead to massive farms, concentrating hashing power.  PoS doesnt sovle this, it produces the same outcome of concentrations of hash power.  

Secondly, difficulty will adjust downward as and when mining reduces, so thats not a problem.
31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: TRON (TRX) is going crazy. on: April 09, 2018, 09:21:06 AM
All the good news, test nets etc was priced in already.  Tron has to deliver a lot to justify its price.

Its the oddest KYC, they seem to want deliberately doctored ID removing reference that would allow linking with system info. 
33  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: why all crypto world depend on one old tech coin it's ridiculous on: March 27, 2018, 08:37:45 AM
Come on mate, 10 years doesn’t make it old tech. And there has been a lots of development around Bitcoin and scopes of further developments are there obviously. It will take a lot of development for other coins to surpass Bitcoin.

Its old because its 2-3 generations behind the current technology, not its number of years.  The only metric its ahead on is valuation, if we are talking technology it is old.

34  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: why all crypto world depend on one old tech coin it's ridiculous on: March 27, 2018, 05:48:47 AM
Bitcoin is old technology.  People seem to think 9-10 years is young, in IT generally its last generation or more.  In the blockchain space bitcoin has been superseded by others with more complex technology.  The saviours of Segwit (not widely adopted) and LN (only in beta test) at best make it upgraded.  Time taken for a block will still be 10 minutes, no smart contracts, no dapps etc. 

Anyone not accepting this should ask themselves, if you invented a blockchain today would it look like bitcoin or something else?  If something else, you accept its old technology. 

That said i dont believe crypto world is dependent on Bitcoin, only the market cap is.  In sub sections of the market its many other coins.

where is the team?

Starting to wonder they on the beach...   Cheesy  Undecided
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Dfinity Network - The Decentralized Cloud on: March 23, 2018, 12:48:53 PM

Dfinity public sale main round: $350 million for 10% of the tokens 😧 That is x200 for seed and x3 for strategic investors. Overall hardcap will be $3.5 billion! Also the team retains 50% of tokens.

Well thats killed this project from an investment point of view.  No one sane is going to invest in the main round, there's no hope for upside and the strategic round have just been screwed too (seed might still see a big x gain). This is after all just another cloud service with fancy implementation, they have to compete with others in crypto land and the behemoths AWS/Azure/Google and a literny of smaller providers. On what planet do they think they are worth $3.5bn?

Oh well, cross this one off.  At least they are taking VC money rather than suckering little investors.

Continue acting dumb.  Binance will never ever consider listing them. And now this has been reported to SEC.
Good luck with this shitcoin.

And what you think SEC do about something that is a) not a security and b) not based in US?  Going reporting to SEC is just going to waste their time and annoy them.  Be careful you dont annoy them too much they may want to broaden their reach - you want that for all cryptocurrency?
38  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: KYC: Bitstamp wants to know how much I'm making on: March 23, 2018, 10:33:10 AM
Then, what does Bitstamp wants to do with my data? I believe they're based in the UK, but I'm not British, and I've never lived in the UK, so what's the point of inquiring about foreigners? Will they pass my data to the country which granted my passport? I've left that place years ago, so it makes no sense...

They dont care where you reside, the regulations they have tom comply with depends on where they reside.  They wont pass on your data to anyone, they simply store it so when audited they can tick a box saying "these are our checks".
39  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] «Envion» Most Profitable Self-Expanding Crypto Infrastructure on: March 23, 2018, 10:28:11 AM
Im fuzzy why the dividend means they couldnt be listed on Binance.  I dont see it can be regulations and Binance have supported airdrops (dividends by another name).

More importantly, where are the first roll out of mining containers coming, all talk of exchange and dividends is irrelevent until they deliver.
40  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Twitter CEO Says Bitcoin Will Be Worlds Single Leading Currency on: March 23, 2018, 08:22:36 AM
I dont believe Bitcoin will even be the leading cryptocurrency in 10 years.  Too many technical and political flaws, one of the others (or as yet un-created) coin will come to dominate.
