201  Economy / Speculation / Re: 72 Hour from 6,300 to 7,048 on: November 03, 2017, 08:28:54 PM
I think the price of bitcoin will go dump soon because there's a upcoming fork again where people always do panic selling that cause price to crash. and that's a good timing to buy coins since the price right now is around $7300.
There was no real dump after the Bitcoin Gold fork, and the one during the Bitcoin Cash fork wasn't too big either and immediately corrected. I'm really not so sure if Bitcoin will dump if altcoins don't release something very exciting soon.
I there is a big dump after the bitcoin gold fork but since they also announce bitcoin segwit x2 or what ever they named it. I think the price was continues to increase because of another fork will happen this coming november 16.
The price is getting increase too high just to get the benefits of getting free coins. those people who are invest i think they already sold their bitcoin gold from the market and invest it to bitcoin that is why the price is keep increase..
Since its attractable by other people expect that more people will invest to push the price more high..
You should keep in mind that Bitcoin has been in the mainstream news at least on a weekly, if not on a daily, basis lately.
And there are numerous both smart and just simply famous people who have predicted very large prices. That is bound to attract a lot of people who will want to try their luck with Bitcoin, thus driving up the demand of a very scarce coin.
I don't think it's just the forks, even though they surely play a role in the rise too.

But it's not clear that the current price rise is "too high" at all.
202  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: New Waves roadmap on: November 03, 2017, 08:18:41 PM
My thought is that WAVES unlike other projects actually has some users and projects using and running things on the platform. That's more than can be said for a lot of cryptos, still researching before jumping in, but I think Waves is a winner.
I always liked the unique approach to PoS (Leasing) that Waves has. You get different types of altcoins, some of which may end up valuable in the future. This could become one of Waves' strongest merits if they actually reach larger scale adoption through a DEX that caters to professional traders.

Yeah, I agree that is good to get some airdropped tokens sometimes, but the lease interest in Waves is too low!
Maybe there is something wrong with this system... Why isn't there any other known LPoS?

I'm a leaser for almost half a year and got practical nothing to show in terms of dividends.

I don't know how exactly Waves leasing works, but I think you only get a share of the Waves that are used for fees on the platform, which currently isn't very popular because of the weak DEX. So your return in Waves will be low.
The altcoins that I've gotten so far were worth quite a bit though, but I don't know how much of that was because of leasing and how much from WCT...

Maybe someone else has some hard data?

The cryptocurrency gives a shinier perspective in the close future then gold so i go on bitcoin. Better, smarter and with a bigger value.
That really depends on how everything plays out. Cryptocurrencies are still one of the most risky assets in the whole world. And gold serves a completely different purpose entirely.
205  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hacker stole $31M of Ether. Can this happen again? on: November 02, 2017, 09:53:54 PM
Everything is possible nothing can be fully secured. I will not be surprised if bitcoin is also hacked in the future. We need to stop these so called hackers to steal our coins.

Maybe we can take action together ? Or we could trace their accounts and ban them.

People are still getting caught by pishing scam attempts. They don't act carefully and they lose their wallets. That's why having a secured wallet and computer is important to be in safe side.

We can't take action, they're anonymous.
The same has been happening with traditional banking, emails, Paypal, etc. for a long time too. It's really nothing new. I'm sure this kind of problem existed hundreds and even thousands of years ago as well.

You mean bank joins haha

I'm sorry, but what? I don't understand what you mean.
206  Economy / Speculation / Re: 72 Hour from 6,300 to 7,048 on: November 02, 2017, 09:52:59 PM
Since the beginning of the year 2017 Bitcoin Break all rules and continuous increase but last months bitcoin rise more than 1,000$ like 100$

So Do you think bitcoin will Keep beak all economics rules and rises more than 1000$ or It has reached saturation limit Huh?
It's not really breaking rules. New technologies often take a while to gain ground and then shoot up rapidly until mass adoption is reached. It seems like we're in the shooting phase now.
207  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Amazon Integrate Bitcoin? on: November 02, 2017, 09:51:21 PM

Since paypal is basically ebay owned and not accepted at amazon it does make sense they might incorporate a crypto as a way to attack paypal. Maybe they will launch amazon coin we will see.
That's an extremely interesting perspective that I haven't thought of yet. If Amazon actually went this way and allowed crypto payments through its open market and perhaps even implemented an auction style format for third party sellers they could seriously eat into Ebay's revenue.

is it true that all those who converted atlcoin into btc have caused growth to 7000 usd of btc?
To some extent yes. But it's also very likely that we've got a lot of new people investing more and more money into Bitcoin due to the outrageous returns that it offers.
209  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: November 02, 2017, 09:41:38 PM
I think gold is a safe option. Although bitcoin is a risky option, it will make you rich in future.

There is no guarantee about Bitcoin. Either it can make you filthy rich, or it can eat away your investment. Are you ready to make an investment in Bitcoin at the current prices ($6,600 per coin)? The psychological barrier is always there. When I entered the Bitcoin scene, the exchange rates were going at around $1,000 per coin. Now it has increased by more than 6 times.

I tend to disagree

And I have explained that just a few posts ago here. I don't mind you becoming filthy rich with Bitcoin or losing all and then going to live under the bridge (or both of these in any order). But with gold, it is unlikely that it will make you filthy rich since you already have to be that rich to buy it so that your purchase would make any sense. And you buy gold specifically to remain filthy rich in the future and not to end up under the bridge when Bitcoin or fiat money gets eaten away by an economic meltdown or some disaster like a war
This is exactly what gold is bought for other than jewelery. And unless you're flipping jewelery or ripping of gold miners from some third world country, you're not even going to get "mildly" wealthy through gold. It's a preservation of capital or a status symbol (ironically even for people with no money) and nothing else. Perhaps some additional fringe applications in tech, medicine or science. But definitely not an investment aimed at any growth.

211  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO Is Really A Good Investment or Not? on: November 02, 2017, 09:35:31 PM
Yes, Initial Coin Offering is a great way to put your money for investments. Because in ICOS you can receive bonuses. And it will really help you profit a lot. Because of the 20% bonuses for example. More coins more money.
Yes, during the presale investors will be provided with additional bonuses on the starting days on the first come first served basis. This will help the user make a bigger profit when it gets listed to the exchanges and the growth of the ICO takes place. In reality trusted ICO's were a way better to make money.
I wouldn't even put any money in shady ICOs, even if there's a large opportunity to tenfold the investment. There are tons of ways to make a lot of money without supporting scammers, so it's best to look for those instead to make the world a better place.
As your said, you think all ICO projects are the scammer and Ethereum are also a scammer because it has opened crowdsale at beginning, is right? It seems you do not trust any ICO project, however, I think you are ignoring your chance.
Please read more carefully. I have clearly mentioned that I wouldn't put money in shady ICOs and that I wouldn't support scammers when I see any just so I can earn some money. I never said that I wouldn't participate in any ICO, since there are a few that are very honest and hard working, and it's those that will remain for many years.

20 july a hacker pulled off the second biggest heist in the history of digital currencies.

https://medium.freecodecamp.org/a-hacker-stole-31m-of-ether-how-it-happened-and-what-it-means-for-ethereum-9e5dc29e33ce

Making anything available to anyone is quite a dangerous thing. Can this happen again? Who thinks about it?
This will happen for as long as people don't start paying very close attention to the links they are clicking on etc.

People never seem to learn from all the past cases of phishing attacks... so hackers will keep doing it since it's highly profitable and quite easy.

after kim young un , say Will attack USA the military base
and donald trum response kim statement
what do you think can accident war north korea vs USA

Well the only problem here is North Korea. The world is aware that they have weapons of mass destruction right? So, they don't need to keep on threatening every country that they feel like fighting against. We should all conspire against North Korea.
The problem is, that once anything happens people in the vicinity of South Korea will die. North Korea will disappear very quickly, but so will a very large number of innocent people. So just conspiring against North Korea, at least in a direct conflict, might not be the best solution.

Price low Cry Cry
Of course it's low. It's just a pointless clone coin with nothing behind it. Don't just buy random coins or you will lose a lot of money.
216  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: October 31, 2017, 11:00:27 PM
I like bitcoin and gold but if I want to make sure everything is fine after 5-10 years, I will choose gold. There will be no more arguments if I sell it and it's be still worthy no matter what happens.

Meaning to that is that, bitcoin can be best viewed for short-term investing and gaining profit in a short period of time while gold can be a long-term investment without thinking twice.
Invest in Gold will help you have a saving money for your life, unlike Bitcoin is just an investment funds and can loss all in someday. To be honest, nowadays, Gold is the best way to keep our money for long term instead of saving my money in bank or anything.

It seems to me that investing money in bitcoin for a long time is also a very good idea. And it will give a lot more profit than investing in gold. So I prefer to invest in gold
You are contradicting yourself. I assume you meant to say that you prefer to invest in Bitcoin based on your post. But as already mentioned, that comes at a substantially increased risk. So it's important to be careful and to keep up with the news.

219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Future of DogeCoin on: October 31, 2017, 09:07:55 PM
It is a pity that dopecoin isn't taken seriously because in my opinion it is much better than a lot of blcoins in circulation today. Doge has a reputation as a fun coin, which is wrong, and efforts should be made market it differently

It's quite difficult to market something as "serious" when the founder of it has called it a joke with no value.
220  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: October 31, 2017, 09:07:00 PM
If you had to convert all your wealth to either Bitcoin or gold and keep it there for 10 years, which would you choose? Keep in mind the fact that Bitcoin has only been around for 5 years, and could be fundamentally different in any number of ways in 10 years.

I would choose bitcoin because the advantages in bitcoin more than gold let alone for a long time
A good choice indeed you have made here. Bitcoin is far better than gold. Let’s start with the profit given by both. Bitcoin prices rise up very quickly which means its holders don’t have to wait long for doubling their capital whereas gold changes its value at a very slow speed due to which, no big profits are earned in a short time

It cuts both ways

Bitcoin has been able to offer higher profits but you should keep in mind that these profits come along with insane amount of risk (and yes, I mean exactly that, i.e. insane amount of risk). In other words, as high as Bitcoin has risen today, it may fall as low tomorrow. On the other hand, gold moves slowly (as you said yourself), but it means as well that it can't go down as fast. As to me, Bitcoin and gold are two entirely different assets and instruments serving different purposes and comparing them directly (say, in terms of profits possible) doesn't make a lot of sense
Spot on analysis. Gold is aching more towards a safety asset, of which you want to hold some if you have a high net worth and want to make sure that you will never find yourself in a situation where you are economically in a bad position. Basically it's a hedge against economic collapse, large scale natural disasters, or wars.
Bitcoin on the other hand is more of a wealth building asset, albeit with the aforementioned insane risk levels due to the absurd volatility.
