21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Myetherwallet(Mew) Site: Previous version is better than current version ? on: January 26, 2020, 02:56:49 AM
I don't think so. This new version must be better, must have some additional features that would make it more secure and convenient for the user. But to be honest, I am more comfortable using the old version, the one which I grew to appreciate and find easy to navigate. It was very simply, the old MEW. Now, there are many features that I am not familiar with anymore.
22  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it still possible to invent certain Altcoin that can be better than Bitcoin? on: January 25, 2020, 04:26:05 AM
In my opinion, It's not possible to invent an altcoin that would be better than bitcoin in terms of value. Though, it's possible to invent an altcoin with a better technology which surpasses the bitcoin. There's always the possibility of doing things better and technology is always getting better.

That's it. That is what exactly I meant. The value of Bitcoin does not solely depend on its technology anymore. When it started, Bitcoin was only offering its technology to gain attention leading to support and finally leading to trust. But then various crypto projects have already improved on what was started by Bitcoin. But they cannot discredit Bitcoin being the less improved version because all of them are just mere improvements on the original, the beginning of everything.
23  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons to be bullish on BitcoinSV on: January 25, 2020, 03:58:12 AM
For as long as Bitcoin SV is only thriving under the shadows of Bitcoin, I would not be bullish on it. And for as long as Bitcoin SV is just under the name of CSW who has been doing all kinds of crazy things, I would not think Bitcoin SV is the best ALTCOIN out there.
24  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto is the World’s Best Performing Asset Class on: January 25, 2020, 03:33:43 AM
Well, it depends on the year in the discussion. People can be cherry-picking any year that was a good year for crypto and ignoring the rest. Don't also forget that crypto is only here for about 10-11 years so that anything can happen in the future.

If all of the variables are somewhat constant, probably crypto could be the "real" world's best-performing asset.

Most of the time we only see and hear what we want to see and hear. And I have seen this among Bitcoin enthusiasts and the articles and videos they have written. They are really into cherry-picking just to come up with something that feeds whatever they believe in albeit very bias and subjective. Let us all be objective.

Crypto is really one of the best performing assets worldwide. But the best? I am not sure. Asset? It should not even be classified as such.
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WINNING THE GAME AGAINST BAD PROJECTS on: January 25, 2020, 03:13:27 AM
Seems like you're playing it safe, OP.
Although I can't assure you that, you're in the most profitable game right now. You might miss out opportunities to invest in some project.
Hopefully IEOs doesn't fail the same way as ICOs did in the past few years.

IEO cannot fall as hard as the fall of ICO because IEO has never reached what ICO has reached in its heydays. ICO was a very strong market during its peak years. Projects after projects are getting into it because investments are flowing in in large amounts. And yet the result was a poor one and that started the end of that market. IEO is just a replacement but the stain that ICO left in coin offerings is already there.

Insert the projects you know that are 100% scam ... I start HVN terminal, HBZ (helbiz)

If you accuse a coin or a project, you need to support it with proofs beyond reasonable doubt or else you are just throwing a baseless accusation.

If we look at new altcoin projects, most of them are dead. Many of them might be scams.
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: These projects will go big in 2020, I assume. on: January 24, 2020, 04:07:39 AM
I have only heard of Tachyon in the list that you have. I have not heard of the other two. I am not even sure of what Tachyon's fate is going to be in the altcoin world where there are already several thousands of coins and projects.

But I still want to know why you think that these three projects will go big in 2020?
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BCH: Miners should donate...or else on: January 24, 2020, 03:42:36 AM
Donate or donation is a wrong word here. It is a misnomer for what is really being implemented. Miners are not asked to donate. They are forced to pay taxes. And they are left with no choice at all. It is either they pay the said tax or be orphaned. They should seriously quit calling themselves the real Bitcoin with this centralized mentality.
29  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Redistribution of Bitcoin on: January 24, 2020, 03:16:00 AM
Too long, I did not read. I have a little bias against this redistribution thing, may it be applied to fiat or to Bitcoin or to the earth's resources. Whether we like it or not, there will always be someone who will become whale and another who will become a sheep. That is a reality of life so there is really no point redistributing. Let it be distributed naturally.
Actually, I'm writing about a Resonance Trade system in another crypto project called VDS. Resonance trade allows Bitcoin players to perform a decentralized transaction through cross-chain method and convert their BTC into Vollar to achieve asset anonymity.

decentralized transaction through cross-chain method- This sounds amazing for me. I admit I don't understand much about how it particularly works but it seems a wonderful idea for me. But why do we have to convert into Vollar for asset anonymity? We are already doing things a bit anonymously. Do our assets need to be anonymous as well?

Quote
After that, all invested Bitcoin in resonance trade will cycle back to circulation and be randomly distributed among eco-builders as a form of return for ecological construction.

Please tell me more about how this "randomly distributed among eco-builders" thing.


Because of the transparency of Bitcoin ledger, people now have access to your asset flow as long as they know your BTC address. Also, many people trade through exchange platforms, which requires real-name identification at registration. So, think about this, are you still doing things anonymously?

Yes, I am doing things anonymously until now. I am NathanJB in this forum. People here know my wallet because I am posting them every time I apply for a campaign job, but does anybody know who I really am? Does anybody know my real identity? I'm referring to the actual person behind my username and my wallet? There is no one. That is anonymity for me.

Transparency in terms of what's going on with my wallet is no problem. That is the beauty with blockchain. How much is my wallet worth, when and to which addresses the deposits and withdrawals made, and so on, are there for everyone in the public to see. That's transparency.
30  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it still possible to invent certain Altcoin that can be better than Bitcoin? on: January 24, 2020, 02:50:59 AM
As the subject goes, can we expect the newly developed Altcoin that can go beyond Bitcoin?

Better in terms of what? If in terms of transaction speed, yes, and we already have faster altcoins. If in terms of fees, yes, and we already have altcoins offering much lower fees. If in terms of anonymity, yes, and we have much more private altcoins. So in terms of scalability, privacy, and other features we have much better altcoins. But the face of crypto is Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the god of crypto. Bitcoin is trusted, used, accepted, owned, coveted, etc more than all the altcoins combined. 

What more can we ask for? This is ultimately complete and a strong currency for now, and even fiat cash couldn't overtake what legacy did bitcoin brought to us. Making bitcoin as God of crypto, can't be aligned to that but maybe I believed it was a father of crypto. If somebody can generate something that's more advantage beyond bitcoin's feature, I bet it's too difficult for him unless he is investing the entire saving he had and he should be one of the whales to establish an own cryptocurrency business.

Bitcoin is not ultimately complete as what you've said. It is not the strongest currency because it is in fact more used not as a currency but as an asset or a store of value. Bitcoin needs to develop further for it to become a strong currency. But fundamentally, Bitcoin is already great and we are going to become a better currency someday.
In cryptocurrency it can be said that bitcoin is the best among the others because we know that the features of dibitcoin are my trusted ones compared to altcoin. But this does not mean that altcoin is bad and there is no possibility for altcoin to overtake bitcoin, anything can happen later but for me for now bitcoin will be in the top position for a long time.


Bitcoin has already been overtaken in terms of certain features but it cannot be overtaken absolutely because Bitcoin is the first decentralized cryptocurrency that this world see. It cannot be taken out from the throne simply because its features are already improved by a few altcoins. That will not happen. Bitcoin is the corner stone in the whole of crypto. And it is still developing so it is still improving until now.
31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WINNING THE GAME AGAINST BAD PROJECTS on: January 24, 2020, 02:31:47 AM
Hello guys, having been here for a while now, I feel that having a higher percentage of your portfolio on bitcoin and maybe the rest 30 or 35% on already good and established altcoins like ETH, BCH, Stellar, brave. BNB, Vchain, etc, is a good way of staying away from useless projects. I have come to an understanding that running after new promising projects always leave you heartbroken in 97times, and running after IEO to quickly make up for past losses lead to more havoc on your fund. So stick to the safe zone.

That is a good advice. Keep it up only with the solid ones. No shitcoins should be included in your portfolio. They may lose some value every once in while but they sure would recover. Going into ICO or IEO or any coin offering to make some recovery should never be an option. It is jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

I don't think BCH is an established altcoin. There is no long term guarantee with BCH. And brave you mean BAT?

Crypto markets are holding steady for another day following a slight pullback from their recent rally. Ethereum is still looking strong but can it finally pull out of its two-year bear market?

https://bitcoinist.com/is-ethereum-about-to-break-out-of-a-2-year-bear-market/

All indications are pointing high. I am hoping that this year is finally the year that Ethereum will break out from the years of being bearish. Ethereum has several developments in its roadmap this year. I guess these developments and the bullish market in general will be able to push Ethereum up and finally get out of its low price performance.

36  Economy / Economics / Re: 6 Bankers Accused of Earning €30M in Bonuses From German Fraud on: January 23, 2020, 01:32:49 AM
Former bank employees have received bonuses worth millions of euros in an illegal trading scheme that also involved a tax lawyer, prosecutors in Frankfurt revealed this week. The case is part of multiple investigations carried out across Germany, the hardest hit country in a notorious tax fraud scandal known as the Cum-ex Files.

https://news.bitcoin.com/6-bankers-accused-of-earning-e30m-in-bonuses-from-german-fraud-tax-lawyer-out-on-e4m-bail/

The big time bankers are the manipulators of the world's wealth and even governments so I don't think this is something which is kind of unimaginable for them to do.

And tax lawyers? They have been doing all kinds of dirty and shady jobs for the bankers. Trimming down on taxes and evading the rest, clearing up their tracks, and so on.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-11-05/venezuela-is-now-more-than-50-dollarized-study-finds

Quote
Venezuela’s economy is increasingly dollarized, with more than half of retail transactions now being carried out in U.S. currency, a study found.

An estimated 54% of all sales in Venezuela last month were in dollars, according to a survey by Econoalitica, a Caracas-based research firm.

In Maracaibo, the country’s second-largest city, about 86% of all transactions took place in dollars, according to the study. The city has been one of the worst hit by blackouts, which has rendered credit card readers useless for days on end.

As Venezuela has become dollarized, inflation has come down. Even their idiot president Maduro admits the dollarization (which was done by citizens spontaneously ignoring their govt's ban on dollars) is a good thing.

A year ago, some of us were hoping that Venezuelans would have adopted bitcoin as their currency (or an alt). But the rolling electricity blackouts not only mean you can't use credit cards, but you can't use cryptocurrency. So they've gone with old fashioned US dollars in cash.

This whole real life case study shows that cryptocurrency won't get adopted in poor countries (because of lack of electricty). It will get adopted in rich countries - rich regulated countries.

Dollar is the safest option for the Venezuelan citizens right now. They cannot be relying on their own fiat. That is for sure. They cannot be relying on their own coin Petro either because that is another failure. Bitcoin could have been much better but with the regular blackouts in electricity, they will have to be back on the more basic. The US dollar is the most convenient since it is the most internationally accepted currency.

Richest 2000 People richer then the poorest 4.6 billion.
Richest 26 persons richer then 3.8 billion people.

Today I read this in the newspaper that Oxfam Novib calculated this in their report called time to care about economic inequality.
Especially women in underdeveloped country's are stuck in poverty and can't get out.

We all know this has been going on for years but it is pretty shocking to see the enormous difference in these numbers.
It is also hard to comprehend that most concentrated part of the wealth is hold bye a small club of men.

How do you think this is devided with Bitcoin we can all just see the top richest wallets in Bitcoin, but do you think Bitcoin is more fair devided then the current money system?
What would be the most fair way of dividing a cryptocurrency so the whole world is actually part of it and gets wealth?


I believe this is not only true to the world of fiat. This must also be true to the world of Bitcoin. There must also be a very low percentage of Bitcoin owners who own more than the millions of poor Bitcoin owners. This is also true not just in Bitcoin but also in altcoins. This has always been the case in this crazy world of ours. Equality is nil.
39  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Institutional Investors Bring in the Next Wave of Hype to the Crypto-Sphere? on: January 22, 2020, 03:08:37 AM
It actually could. I have always been in the thinking that sometimes institutional investors are urgently needed for the people to follow. Institutional investors could play the role as herders or shepherds and the majority of the masses as the flock of sheep. If the big names such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Ebay, Apple, and others would announce that they are already accepting Bitcoin in their businesses, I am sure millions would immediately jump into the Bitcoin train.
40  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: This is why you shouldn't trust a Centralized Exchange! on: January 22, 2020, 02:46:56 AM
why do you say so and is a decentralized market guaranteed?
I think there are more cases in decentralized exchange because it's not exposed in the media or the news so there is no bad news about it.
all markets have their respective advantages.

Yes, there are pros and cons in using a decentralized exchange as much as there are also pros and cons in using a centralized exchange. The problem with using a centralized exchange is that your coins are not on your own. By saving it in a wallet in a centralized exchange, you are not anymore the owner of it. And whatever happens to that exchange, your coins are also included.
