How to learn cryptocurrency day trading. -- in short, you don't learn. You're just getting lucky. Anyone that is into day trading and thinks it is working is simply getting lucky, anyone that tries to sell you their secrets has none, and these tutorials / vids / etc are a bunch of bullshit trying to profit off of peoples greed. The only trading strat which works in most (if not all markets) is the long game. You can't time the markets, and you can't get rich overnight.

God-- do these 'experts' always come around trying to spur the market into a bull-run? Because I highly doubt these 'experts' even know what they're talking about. They're just trying to convince people to throw their live savings into something which is insanely risky and impractical. People do this on both sides though, and the mainstream media in between is just trying to profit of the hype. What has the news media come to these days?
23  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The crypto capital in Europe? on: July 18, 2018, 07:42:15 PM
According to the news every country of the world is trying to become to the crypto capital of the world. I'll beleive it when I see the companies flocking to Europe instead of some bullshit article talking about some random bill being debate, regulatory agency saying some bullshit, or something along the lines of sensationalist news. I doubt any country is going to allow crypto to thrive, as their banks are going to stop this with their amense power.
24  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does the bitcoin have a future? on: July 15, 2018, 06:14:03 AM
The future of Bitcoin is very much bright my Guy. When was Bitcoin initiated? Just about A decade ago and it has already spreaded all over the world, even if majority of the Countries had not accepted or give their total support yet. But I tell you, Bitcoin Goodwill increases day by day.
Even the so called banks had started in few Countries supporting Bitcoin in their domain.

I wouldn't go this far to say that banks are 'supporting bitcoin' I would say that, without a doubt banks are trying to profit off of the entire cryptospace. They see a market that they think they can penetrate into and make a good amount of money, and they're trying to take advantage of it (by taking a foothold in the start) -- This is a smart move, they'll control big things such as Exchanges, wallets, and so on and so forth if they really push right. Banks aren't doing this for the tech though, they're doing it for the profit that they think / know they can achieve.
25  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Smartphone/blockchain devices on: July 14, 2018, 11:22:08 PM
As the article explains, this is only something which MAY sound appealing to crypto nuts / tech junkies. This isn't going to reasonate with everyday people as it really doesn't offer much that they're going to need, all this is going to do is to provide for a sector of people who PROBABLY wouldn't even buy this sort of device anyway (due to the price tag which is going to come with features like this) Yet again, I'll point to the article with saying that this is an attempt at saving a company which is going to slowly fail. Not surprised, though did they really think this was going to work?
26  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto currencies are traded on stock exchanges. on: July 14, 2018, 11:12:38 PM
This sort of 'news', if you even want to call it that, has come up time and time again with nothing actually going live. I'll believe it when I see it on the stock exchange bitcoin / crypto related stuff. Last thing I read showed that the SEC kept kicking the can on making the decision relating to crypto.I found this on the subject, unknown on the realiability of the source but it's something nonetheless - https://cryptoslate.com/cboe-seeks-sec-approval-for-bitcoin-etf/

Nasdaq is planning to launch cryptocurrencies in their exchange this year which is most likely to happen this year
Not true.

The problem is that they don't enable actual fiat to crypto trades like how we are used to trade on our current crypto exchanges. I'm not sure when they plan to enable actual trades, but at least it's better than nothing.

It will help legitimizing crypto more effectively amongst high level investors and institutions. Every attempt to do that is a gigantic boost for everyone in this industry. This is what we have been aiming for to achieve.

Bitcoin was frequently called a fraud and a ponzi scheme years ago, but this fraud and ponzi scheme is forcing itself deep into the core of the legacy economy, and it's just the beginning. Keep hodling your Bitcoins firmly.

But is that really what we want? To have more people investing in bitcoin for gain rather then using it as a currency?
27  Economy / Economics / Re: What will be the future of crowdfunding using cryptocurrencies? on: July 13, 2018, 03:35:14 AM
I mean I don't think it's something that really matters in the least, the only thing that Crypto COULD do for the cause is to make it easier to be and stay anonymous when contributing to peoples issues and such. Plus (I guess) it could stop the censorship that GoFundMe, Kickstarter, and these other companies impose on the projects that are on their site. I don't think this is the biggest place for Crypto to dent and get into, but I do suppose it still is something.

The future if ICO is slowly declining with people reporting they're getting scam with such platforms some government's already planned to put regulations in order to capture guys making crowd funding schemes even Google and facebook are planning on banning advertisement of ICO's.

Not everything is relating to an ICO.

This is going to rely on you and the amount of privacy risk that you want to take. If you're fine with exposing some of your personal information online, and some people are OK with doing this, then you'd be fine with using an exchange such as Coinbase, Kraken, etc (you're going to have to get verified on these exchanges as well, no getting around that) This is also if you're fine with declaring your income from Crypto capital gains, work and such, as all of these withdrawals are going to be linked to you and could be subpoenaed. If you're not fine with the privacy things, use something P2P.
29  Other / Off-topic / Re: A car will cost you $700/month to $4000/month on: July 10, 2018, 07:43:23 AM
How would you say your estimates compare to an electric car like a tesla? How about a comparison to uber or similar services? Historically higher resale value of some import vehicles could involve lower maintenance costs and greater reliability on average. State sponsored incentives such as adding ethanol (the worst alternative fuel ever devised) to gasoline could have severe and lasting negative implications. Gas taxes also could carry negative implications.

After 7 years and 10 to 30 miles everyday average car use, I don't think a  $30,000 car will have resale value.

My numbers are estimated. I never had a car.

That just simply isn't true, go on craigslist and take a look at all of the cars that are on the cheaper end of the price range. You'll see that these cards maybe have 70K - 100K miles on them and are selling for a couple thousand dollars. There is a resale market for all cars, it may be a fraction of what you paid for it years ago - but it is a market nonetheless. Your estimates are way out of proportion buddy.
30  Economy / Economics / Re: Stop IMMO: What do experts think about bankers invading the crypto space? on: July 10, 2018, 07:39:30 AM
The plain and simple truth with a new industry is that people are going to come in in droves in order to get as much of the market-share as possible (as then as much of the profits as they can) Crypto trading is something that the bankers could get involved in, and then could use their power (political and such) in order to avoid a large amount of regulations for their crypto companies. Also, I wouldn't say they're 'invading' the crypto space they're investing money like everyone else in order to gain a foothold on an industry. While people may not like them, they're supporting innovation.
31  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are You Paying Your Crypto Taxes? A Recent Study Suggests Otherwise on: July 10, 2018, 05:46:04 AM
This is like anything else, people feel that they're not going to get caught and that they're above the law. Yes, some of you may be able to make it out and not have to pay any taxes -- but you're not going to be able to show this money ever. So, if you don't pay taxes on the capital gains that you incurred with Bitcoin you're going to be screwed if you want to buy a house with the money, or a car, (and so on and so forth) While it does suck to have to pay your taxes, you're going to have to or you're going to risk an audit that could really screw you with penalties.

In my opinion, it depends on a country if they are regulating crypto. As far as i know, the government has not regulating it yet. They have no rights to to ask for any tax payment. Even in our country, the government has no power over crypto. If time would come that cryto would be centralized then people are oblige to pay taxes.

Not true, most (if not all countries) have capital gains tax that Crypto gains are going to apply too.

I would agree that there is no such thing as tax in bitcoin, if this is taxed then other users will be disturbed in terms of payment and also in the case of good and true business.

This makes no sense, just because there is no specific tax doesn't mean former taxes (such as capital gains) don't apply.
32  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or Property? What might be the best investment? on: July 10, 2018, 05:40:11 AM
This highly depends on your age and the amount of risk that you're willing to take, I wouldn't be investing in bitcoin (or properties) if I'm soon to retire. You're opening yourself up to a good amount of risk, risk that isn't necessary and could be the cause for you having to go back to work if you drain through a good amount of your retirement funds. I'm not saying real estate is something I'd hop in towards the last couple years, but-- the rental income could still be a lot better then bitcoin speculation with your money. I'm team property.
33  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If money/resources were not a factor, how would YOU promote mainstream adoption? on: July 10, 2018, 05:23:03 AM
While it's not a scenario which makes much sense at all, I'll explore it for you. Without a doubt, you're going to be able to push this on people who use a good amount of money wire transferring services - such as Western-Union. These are services which are predominately used by the poor, and if you're able to get these people over to using bitcoin (as their new wire transferring service) then you'd have millions upon millions of people which could be lifelong (and generational bitcoin customers)

I've heard some people say that we're going to get 2FA on the other (new site) -- this is from reading some older threads, I'm not even sure of the link for the new site -- but, would it ever be possible to get it on here? It'd be amazing to feel that sense of security with the account that is tied to your digital life online. Would be wonderful to get a response from the mods or staff. Thanks.

36  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People call bitcoin a fraud or ponzi scheme on: July 06, 2018, 04:29:42 AM
People are doing this as a way to discredit bitcoin, it's an attempt to try to kill something that they #1 don't know about and #2 Don't want to thrive. When you're scared of something, you get to the point where you're just slinging insults for no reason. The growth of bitcoin may of been crazy, price wise, though I don't think this is much of a reason to call is a ponzi -- more people bought it, and more people trade it now.Is the Dow Jones a ponzi due to it's growth over the past 100 years?

He was actually talking about ETH -- plus I don't think he's just doing this out of the kindness of his heart, he's trying use his name to make the price rise. Little does he know that even with his name the markets aren't going to go magically up and down at the command of someone random, these people don't get it.Steve is wonderful at what he does, but you should never take his investment advice as anything special.

40  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do people buy old bitcoin addresses? on: January 07, 2018, 05:06:13 AM
it could be a lot of different reasons!

but mostly they do it because in the past there has been altcoin airdrops based on the amount of bitcoin you had at a specific time (at a block height). for example if you had any bitcoin by the time bitcore fork happened (block #463604) you also have the same amount of bitcore (of course in this case i think the claiming period has ended).

there are a lot of these and to claim any of them you do need private keys.


They could be going for this, or they could be praying that the addy that they're buying is stolen. So in the off chance that some more Bitcoin comes to the address at some point they're going to get some money. The chances may be slim but it could be worthwhile for someone to try to grab some BTC at this high of a price.

I thought that airdrops only applies if you hold a specific amount of your Bitcoin and not what you had.
It matters about how much BTC they had at the time of the fork, that's it.
