201  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When Bitcoin pops... on: December 17, 2017, 11:39:03 PM
I have been investing in alts for a few months now. Happy days indeed.
Well let's be honest, anyone with cash and 1/2 a brain could have made 200-300% profit easily.
I don't hold btc and would not buy it as I think price above 8K is unrealistic and over inflated.
I have a bad feeling that btc is going to have a major correction in the coming months.
I'm not talking a small drop to 13k, more like all the way to 5k or even lower.
If and when this happens how do you think it will effect alt prices?
Unfortunately I see btc taking everything down with it and fear all my hard work and
day and swing trading alts to increase positions could be wiped out in days.
What are your opinions?
How are you protecting your gains?
Are you cashing out and waiting for buying opportunities or holding long term and perhaps
having stop losses in place to protect gains?



I also think that the price for bitcoin is artificially inflated and soon it will go into a deep correction, just for everyone interested in when this will happen
I was speculating about the correction will be scheduled after the futures contract will have been distributed to the market. that means we are waiting for the result of the bitcoin futures contract. If this does affect the crypto and there will be another hype and if nothing will be happened and big crash will come as soon as possible. How the market is reacted about the bitcoin futures contract. A lot of bullish or even everywhere.

Do you think Bitcoin Diamond has any chance? Seeing what Bitcoin Cash did latelty, it gives me hope with the latest forks.
What do you think?
Bitcoin diamong was nothing. that will waste a lot of your effort to think about this, Even the bitcoin cash with strong backed on the economic can't compete with the bitcoin.  Bitcoin diamond just another fork coin that same with another altcoin. Only a better fork coin after bitcoin cash was b2x fork coin.
Super bitcoin and bitcoin diamond just another crap. Just improve the scalability of the old code from the bitcoin protocol.
203  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is IOTA a cryptocurrency? on: December 17, 2017, 11:33:08 PM
I’m still waiting to be paid back. Dominik himself banned me from the slack channel for demanding my tokens be returned. So it’s not ok to talk truths about iota. So, I’ve had to come here and I’ll troll his Twitter account. Maybe someday people will wake up and see how controlled and useless iota is.

I have been robbed( as have others) by the “ greatest coin in existence today”

If this is true this thing has absolutely nothing to do with actual cryptocurrencies. The very definition of a cryptocurrency is that one can not simple take away someone's tokens...


Can IOTA be called a cryptocurrency? I think IOTA is actually a centralized corporate network.


Iota is non-based blockchain cryptocurrency. Iota use Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) that works like a side chain. but just use the direct transaction to minimize the cost or even reduce it to the zero.
Iota centralized due to not use the nodes just like what already did in the bitcoin. That use the server to has a role like miners.
204  Economy / Economics / Re: TIME FRAME TO REACH $25,000 on: December 17, 2017, 06:06:41 AM
Some traders say that at the end of this month it will reach 25,000 usd i don't know if it was true but for me. i'm very bullish in bitcoin and i 'll see to it that 100k is very possible by next year. 25,000 for this month is for real of course.
I do not think it is unrealistic to think we are going to reach that price before the end of the year since we are already very close to 20k now if that does not happen before the end of the year no one really cares since it is almost a sure thing we are going to reach that price in the next year.
20k for the next week. 25k for the next year. When the bitcoin futures already used by the more speculators to get into the bitcoin and that will be a huge hype. It will be possible but bitcoin needs correction to determine the price of the bitcoin itself. But many people said about the possibility. How the price of bitcoin increases a lot just in a short time.
It looks become a real evidence how the bullish of bitcoin is so crazy right now.
205  Economy / Economics / Re: May Or May Not any Digital Currency disturb Any country's Economics?? on: December 17, 2017, 05:48:43 AM
Huh

It depends, probably in a small country if everyone start using a crypto currency and left over creditcards, they economy may collApase.
You don't get a point. How the majority of the people left over the credit card makes the economic collapse. The crypto disturbs the countries economic through the majority of the users are using it as investment place. That makes the majority of the countries will lose a lot of money because it was flying to another place. Just like what already did in some countries to ban the bitcoin. majority of them are mentioned if the crypto was disturbing they're economic. To prevent the potential investors move to another ground.
206  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum Price Achieves $752, Up 20% in 24 Hours on: December 16, 2017, 11:51:24 PM
ETH appeared to have found support at 0.04 BTC in November, but it has struggled to stay above that level so far in December. I hope we get a decent rally back to above 0.06 in the near future.
It will be so difficult in my opinion. Because that means the doubled from the current price of ethereum. this time ethereum already traded around 0.03++ If there will be more improvement just like sharding blockchain and the more dapps will be implemented in the ethereum blockchain and it will be possible to see ethereum worth a lot in the future.
But next year will become the best year for the ethereum holders.
207  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cardano will be a lot bigger on: December 16, 2017, 11:47:59 PM
Hi,

I think Cardano will be a lot bigger.
- more exchanges coming soon.. now just 4 exchanges
- In Japan it looks like it is the new Ethereum coin
- ATM machines already in Japan (see picture below)
- More Japanese will buy this coin
- former Ethereum CEO
- roadmap now added

What do you think?

This is my first time trying to see about ada, that makes me interesting but is the network fully operated? ADA becomes an alternative payment system in the japan and then what about the legalism of it?
Is ada just like bitcoin in japan? How the chart was going crazy these days. It looks there will be japan exchange site will try to add ADA in the future.
208  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BIG NEWS for ETH: ** CRYPTOPETS ** on: December 16, 2017, 11:44:24 PM
BIG NEWS for ETH: I just now got a copy of the "CryptoPets" white paper from one of their dev team. They are going to release it to the general public later today and do an AMA on Reddit at 5PM EST. I just got through reading it and this new game actually looks like it's gonna be awesome. Cryptokitties on steroids! You'll be able to battle your pets like Pokémon and they will be releasing a mobile app too!! They will have all the congestion issues of CryptoKitties all ironed out as well. It's gonna be big!! Buy as much ETH as you can now before they release this white paper today and announce a launch date!
The very bad news about the ethereum network itself. Just caused by the crypto kitties and so many pending transactions in the network. And what will be happening if there will be more transaction in the network caused by two dapps run at the same time without any improvement to the network. The developer only cares about profit but not with ethereum network itself.
209  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Upcoming interesting / promising forks on: December 11, 2017, 11:18:39 PM
Are there any upcoming forks which are promising? I guess many new users will have BTC in exchanges and would be beneficial to know whether to pay the fees and bring it our wallets.
The only good forks will be the b2x forks, i consider the another fork coin of the bitcoin just another crap coin. It caused by it's not community decision. The important thing about there is a possibility for all of these bitcoin fork to give your a lot of bucks. but it may better to buy the bitcoin as much as you can.
210  Economy / Economics / Re: Who is behind the inflating value of Bitcoin? on: December 11, 2017, 09:56:15 PM
I'm just wondering that maybe bitcoin inflates because some certain people can use it as an advantage in some aspects. If ever it is what would you think of the outcome? Is this good for us or bad?
Bitcion doens't have any inflation. The total supply was limited. The inflation mean if there will be unlimited supply that will be dumped to thge market. Just like lisk coin. Without the supply limit and there will be a lot of the chance to the lisk market gets very high inflation. All of these pumps caused by the new comers are trying to use the bitcoin.
211  Economy / Economics / Re: Indonesia’s Central Bank is Planning to Ban Bitcoin in 2018 on: December 11, 2017, 09:53:52 PM

He went on to detail additional restrictive measures by the bank, stating:

We [will] also prevent arbitrage opportunities, unhealthy business practices and business controls by parties outside the legal reach of Indonesia’s laws that could damage the structure of industries here.

detail here https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/indonesia-planning-ban-bitcoin-2018-report/

what do you think about this ?

i think my country not ready to growing with this blockchain era.
Your country want to lower bitcoin price by create FUD so the banking officers can get bitcoin at the cheapest price! I will advise us to ignored these central bank  and keep trading bitcoin for our own progress and advancement. If we thing central bank will fold there hand to see blockchain taking their job from them then we did not no how human system works. Bitcoin is anti-central Banks and vice versa.
Not sure if the bank wants to create FUD but as you can see the fact that will not be allowed. As far as i know about the indonessian exchange site has a very high rate for each bitcoin comparing with another exchange site. If the bitcoin users should be arrested caused by using the bitcoin and the indonesian must worry about that. But the central bank is fear against the bitcoin.
212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin will kill alt coins on: December 11, 2017, 04:02:01 PM
Bitcoin does not seem to stop growing

2018 Altcoin is dead
Not sure about that. if the bitcoin grow more and more altcoin will be following it but the fact that will lost a lot in the bitcoin value if the price of the altcoin doesn't increase a lot.
As the crypto trend and that makes the bitcoin looks like has unlimited demand in this time.
213  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Waves Dex is the Future on: December 11, 2017, 03:48:46 PM
Ethereum does not have a DEX, which makes Waves much better than ETH.

Actually Ethereum has DEX, it's called Etherdelta. There is also IDEX, which is another DEX platform for ETH tokens.

WAVES is the future, I'm saying this since 20 cents. Now we are in 12 dollars, expecting 100 dollars. Wink
Idex exchange doesn't have a lot of the daily trade volume. And it's same with the waves decentralized exchange site. The only decentralized exchange site which gains a lot of the volume is only the etherdelta exchange site, But the order book can be manipulated by someone.

But is the problem from the old waves dex still not fixed in the new decentralized exchange of waves?
214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Better to buy alts with bitcoin or ethereum? on: December 11, 2017, 03:44:40 PM
I don't see any fair logic behind buying altcoins with Ethereum than Bitcoin other than tx fees factor. If you can buy Ethereum directly through fiat and then buy altcoins with that Ethereum, then your portfolio might look like profitable as eth is very less volatile as for now. But your portfolio will look mess if you see it in btc value because of bullish market. In dollar value both the portfolio will look good. So, I don't find any logic about using eth than bitcoin.
The thing that makes sense when the bitcoin becomes very bullish and that will be pushing the altcoin pair into the bitcoin will down a lot. Just like what already did by the majority of altcoins that they are losing a lot of the value in the bitcoin since the bitcoin goes to the moon. There are so many people are worrying about that.
215  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum is so slow on: December 11, 2017, 03:42:04 PM
Yes, me too, I think Cryptokittie is the problem. According to ETH Gas Station the CryptoKitties game accounts for over 10% of network traffic on Ethereum. When the traffic rises, the transaction speed will be slower. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42237162
The problem is when the cryptokitties developers was not putting the limited amount for the gwei and gas limit to their transaction. Like what already did by mew developer. When the network traffic will be very high and a lot of the crypto kitties user will try to put the more gwei and gas price. this makes the average transaction fees will be increase. The old transaction will be on the low priority to be validated by the block.
216  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing? on: December 10, 2017, 11:32:21 PM
Being a decentralized currency,volatility is the main feature of bitcoin.It is due to this volatile nature,more countries still don't agree to legalize bitcoin.For a currency to get used in mainstream,it should not be highly volatile.But bitcoin volatility would remain and could not be solved.
Volatility is not a feature from the bitcoin because that was just a nature from the demand meet the supply. The volatility give uncertainty to the price and that's why majority of government consider it as the investment with a high risk. Because there is no actual price to the bitcoin.
Volatility as a nature aspect from the bitcoin.
217  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: which exchange is best for trading on: December 10, 2017, 11:29:14 PM
I prefer bittrex than any other exchanges,it is very simple and easy to use for the newbies.
In the past I was using yobit and poloniex but after that one of my friend suggest me to join bittrex and told me that in that exchange there are many traders so the trade at there is efficient. Now I am there and that exchange is really a very nice exchange and it has a very good volume of trade. I will also suggest you for that exchange.
Polo niex is very bad exchange in this time and how a lot of the polo's volume goes to another place just like binance and hitbtc. A lot of my friends got stuck on their withdrawal.
https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/
Bittrex is very good exchange but yesterday the team already sent an email that contrains a caution by use the bittrex service. The exchange with very high volume will give a very good liquidity.
218  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Buying ETH? on: December 10, 2017, 11:13:49 PM
Buying Ethereum, is it worth it?

It is so hard for a n00b to predict which Crypto is going to blow up next and pretty much everything else you read from other places turns out to be wrong. Is bying Ethereum worth it?

If so what would be the best way to go about buying some? What sites and wallets to use etc?

Damn this Crypto stuff is hard for me lol
Yes it is but for your information about the recent problem of the ethereum network. But it's not difficult as you said because there is a lot of expert you may need to follow it. the best way to buy the etheruem today is through the centralized exchange site. You can try to use mist (official wallet), Symphony wallet(official) and another web wallet just like Myetherwallet.com

For the more information regarding the sites and you cna try to go to the coinmarketcap.com
219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen if banks / governments join the party? on: December 10, 2017, 11:09:34 PM
I was wondering what would happen if governments or banks (finally) will join the party of digital / crypto currencies? Right now they seem to act like the music / film industry and act via closing exchanges etc. and trying to stop something that will probably not go away.

If at a certain point they jump to the conclusion that this is the way forward and start using / supporting crypto currencies with e.g. a government / bank coin including all guarantees, will this end other crypto currencies? See https://www.fxempire.com/education/article/the-next-cryptocurrency-evolution-countries-issue-their-own-digital-currency-443966
There will be a lot of manipulations by the government or even banks. But the bank or government will try to use their own crypto as alternative payment or transaction that has used the distributed ledger system.
As you can see there are some countries tried to develop the blockchain to make their own cryptocurrency as the alternative to the fiatcurrency. But this will not having any relationship with cryptocurrency.
220  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CryptoKitties live and NovaBlitz on it's way - how many other games on Eth? on: December 10, 2017, 11:06:13 PM
With CryptoKitties live and the NovaBlitz ICO going live tomorrow, how many others games are based on the blockchain?  Will/Do they all involve trading in some way?  Will all games trading systems end up using something like NVT?

What games would you like to see on there? Add to the list:

https://www.cryptokitties.co/
https://novablitz.com - https://t.me/Novablitz




I wuold not like to see the more game in the ethereum network due to the network congestion and low scalability to adapt with the dapps built in there. How the transaction fees become very high every day.
Just like crypto kitties are not giving any limit to the trasaction fees. And the users be able to put big gwei and gas limit to increase the fees, this will make average fees in the network will be increase too.
