21  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin vs SegWit2x - after split price predictions on: August 11, 2017, 06:06:40 PM
What is the point of segwit2x after Bitcoin Cash? AFAIK, everything they wanted to put into practice is already there.

Bitcoin may not be perfect, but it's the best thing we have. I just wish there was more competition in mining.

Maybe that's coming... Did you guys see this?

23  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO is the best way to invest? on: August 11, 2017, 05:30:33 PM
There is a great potential for profit, but knowing that most of them will fail, I would not say that this is the best way to invest, but rather the best way to gamble.
24  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do Altcoins really have a future? on: August 11, 2017, 05:10:52 PM
I think that Altcoins really do have a future, I mean sure Bitcoin will always be at the top, but many projects are also under Altcoins. I myself also have high hopes for ETH given that it grew so fast, and many projects are under ETH. I also think that altcoins really have a use, you could buy altcoins and sell it for a bigger profit, I guess. But we can never tell the future, we as a community will need to adjust accordingly on what's going to happen.
There is the 1% that will surely survive, but I'm not so sure if Ethereum is one of them. Also, keep in mind that after segwit, we will be closer to making possible the implementation of many of these cryptos in Bitcoin sidechains.

You guys should be focusing on Bitcoin. It's only a matter of time until this ICO bubble pops.
26  Economy / Economics / Re: What must happen so that cryptocurrencies are less volatile? on: August 11, 2017, 04:57:36 PM
Not so difficult to answer that question. What these cryptos really need is real usage. At the moment the biggest use case for most of them is pure speculation
27  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do we actually cash out of BTC? on: August 11, 2017, 04:53:15 PM
Or any alt-coins?  Meaning, turn our BTC into USD.

The way I've done this is to send Bitcoins to Coinbase and then sell Bitcoins for US dollars and they sent the money to my bank account. You would need to have your bank account linked to Coinbase though. I would convert the altcoins to Bitcoins on an exchange before sending to Coinbase.

An alternative is to use localbitcoins or just find a friend that is willing to buy your Bitcoins for cash.
In my country can't sell Bitcoin on Coinbase (GDAX market) because they limit us.
So we only can cash out BTC to FIAT via exchanger in my country or find buyer on localbitcoins.
You could also cash out using a Bitcoin Debit card, but you have to be very careful to choose a service with low fees.
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: how do you predict a coin price ??? on: August 11, 2017, 04:43:24 PM
by Market Cap ? Circulating Supply ? or volume 24 hours or all ? (im new to this ..looking for a advise  Smiley )
Since technical analysis seems to be not so efficient in this type of market, which has very low liquidity, I simply try to use as benchmarks the performances of other currencies, with similar technologies, that are already on the market for more time.
29  Other / Off-topic / Re: what will you do when you are in a bad mood? on: August 11, 2017, 04:37:11 PM
Sometimes I play video games, sometimes I listen to some music, and sometimes it helps when I try to update myself on the technology industry.
30  Economy / Economics / Re: How is the price determined for a decentralized currency like bitcoin? on: August 10, 2017, 05:43:55 PM
It is difficult to reach an answer that does not lead to a simple balance of supply and demand, and I think there is not much mystery. Price is what people pay for it. Unless you choose to believe that the price is controlled by manipulators and trading bots.
31  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin die soon? on: July 11, 2017, 10:31:07 AM
I have sent BTC yesterday but one day passed it is not confirmed, I have raised mining fee, this sucks.
...and now we see that this was all spam. That's why you don't panic.
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do we really have enough 'cryptocurrencies'? on: June 07, 2017, 09:29:52 PM
The concern comes because, like in real life, you can not have two golds, and that's what serious investors worry about. Altcoins may be useful for certain purposes, but once Bitcoin actually establishes itself as a store of value, most of these other cryptos will lose a lot of value.

If something better comes up that fits well for this purpose, it is something beyond the comprehension of most people in this space.
33  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Where to invest my Bitcoins? on: May 21, 2017, 03:36:16 PM
I think it's a bit late to invest in alts. I have no doubt that some of them may continue to rise in price, but by looking at the charts, we are close to the greater fools area
34  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: polo vs. bittrex used price: if... on: May 03, 2017, 05:39:01 PM
The fact that transactions are slow is something that makes it difficult to get the values close to each other. I think that once the transfers become faster, there will be a smaller price difference among exchanges.
35  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In what situation would Bitcoin die? on: April 18, 2017, 09:57:52 AM
This would not happen even if all the governments of the world banned Bitcoin. If a single user is mining, or running a node, Bitcoin would still be around...

He hasn't sold his house yet  Cry
Yeah, I saw it last week. He said he hadn't sold the house yet, and wanted to see the price of Litecoin drop so he could buy it cheaper. I have not seen the latest videos though, maybe he made some progress on that.
37  Economy / Economics / Re: The dream of getting rich with bitcoins on: March 19, 2017, 11:00:06 PM
In the long run I think anything can happen, but it is unlikely that great upward movements will occur in the short term, especially with the recent discussions related to the scaling issue.
38  Economy / Speculation / Re: Looks like we are going to test $1,300+ on: March 04, 2017, 04:06:13 AM
These are interesting days on the market. I think the $ 1500 range is something possible, but it would be even better if it were something that happened over the course of several weeks, not through a quick pump.
39  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do with your winnings? on: February 16, 2017, 11:41:45 PM
That depends on the amount of the winnings... If I made a small amount of money, I could try some other matches. But if it's large sums of money, I think I would play with a small part of it, to avoid the risk of losing the money I've already earned.
40  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How To make own crypto currency on: January 17, 2017, 01:45:58 AM
There is a decent amount of alternative coins that could be used for daily activities honestly and I don't think the market would need more , If you want to create something that people would actually use then you clearly need funding , probably running an ICO , having a team of programmers and advisors too. I mean you could follow some tutorial but It would simply be a copy of something that has in other coins but people will simply not use.
Anyone can start a PoW coin, airdrop or ICO, but there is no guarantee that it will be a success. The biggest difficulty is probably trying to create something new, or at least something that has significant improvements over Bitcoin. It is also essential to know if the market needs this, since the demand will depend on this aspect.
