I actually want to see a short-term experiment on a forum-wide sig ban.
If that happened I could just imagine what Yobit has din when it attempted to re-enter Bitcointalk, a lot of inactive members woke up and when all the complaints broke in they are just trying to save Yobit's ass that its a good signature campaign that doesn't promote spam. I could imagine a temporary forum wide sig ban will just make a lot of members inactive and when it will be brought up back again then you will see that these members (or accounts) will be back being active again. You will really see the real members who will stay and won't stay just because of a sig ban.
2022  Economy / Economics / Re: HODL! U.S. debt Alarm on: August 21, 2019, 04:56:31 PM
Last time I check was when the debt has risen in an alarming rate in the US it triggered a recession in their country so I expect all of their markets will follow up and start having a bear market. With all their investors liquidating their assets for some quick cash I know only the safest place to go now is to international markets like Forex and also the crypto market. The crypto market will play an important role here but I doubt that it will be a guaranteed positive effect because we do have some whales in the market not to mention a lot of traders already existing in there.
2023  Economy / Speculation / Re: Who Else is Expecting the Ultimate Rise of Bitcoin? on: August 21, 2019, 03:57:08 PM
If the Federal Reserve continues printing dollars exponentially, the dollar price of Bitcoin will continue to rise exponentially, so eventually it will reach $100,000 per coin. And that is what is going to happen over the next few years. Why? Because the Fed and other central banks around the world believes that printing more currency bills will help boost the economy.

Well if your prediction involves the further devaluation of USA's fiat currency then you are right that Bitcoin will go up by 100,000$. But knowing that U.S. isn't dumb enough or even their central bank to print their money "exponentially" without the demand backing them up then what they will just do is oversupply their own fiat currency which further devalues it. The rest of the factors you have stated doesn't even translate to Bitcoin increasing in price and in fact all of them are still conditional if the people really do participate in the market.

Even though nothing is official yet this potential rematch is more talked about now compared to both fighters upcoming matches and I don't wonder why. Both of them are fighting  toe to toe against nobodies again as they always fight boxers who aren't really deserving on fighting them. What we are seeing now is just like boxing politics in where they purposely avoiding each other so that their next match will be a bigger payday for them but for the fans it's just getting boring and boring too see your favorite boxers fighting unworthy opponents.
2025  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Is a bitcoin head tail site without gambling license illegal? on: August 19, 2019, 08:56:23 PM
Anymore other questions lying around because I'm a little bit familiar when it comes to gambling licenses and how it works? Not unless your country like the U.S. doesn't recognize international e-gambling licenses expect that your country can allow gambling sites that are legally license internationally. Just like what a lot of crypto-gambling sites are doing right now where they are getting their licenses in Curacao because it's the most easiest way for you to set up your gambling site legally and is recognized by a lot of countries. If you find it hard to obtain a gambling license in Canada then maybe obtaining one in Curacao would be your best alternative, I also think that the cost is way cheaper there. The catch is your office should also be based there which I think will be a bigger part of the cost.
2026  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where do you see Bitcoin this time ? on: August 19, 2019, 08:31:53 PM
If Bitcoin still continues to move around the 10,000$ to 9,000$ are for a few days now I'll expect it to continue consolidating now for a month or two especially when we just have a few weeks of surprising price action. Right now there is no indication that Bitcoin will have another attempt at 14,000$ anywhere this month since it already have failed twice to go back up above it, another failed attempt at this short time frame would just be a catastrophic result for us. There won't really be any favors for us in the long run if that happened. Consolidating at this stage might be an ideal scenario for us traders.
2027  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Silvergate Bank Eyes Crypto-Backed Loans for Institutions on: August 19, 2019, 08:04:28 PM
This would make sense for them especially if they are known to handle crypto-based companies like Coinbase and Bitstamp these exchanges doesn't really have anything else to offer as collateral asset wise as they are just exchanges. But a crypto bank loan institution can be subject to a lot of scrutiny as they are both in the crypto industry as well as the financial industry. I expect them to be heavily regulated since they will always be a subject to criminal activity such as money laundering from their clients. This won't be a walk in the park for them especially when a lot of eyes are starting to shift over cryptocurrencies.
2028  Other / Meta / Re: Flags and Negative trust update suggestion ⬛ on: August 19, 2019, 06:52:06 PM
Trust scores doesn't even show up on regular boards where trading isn't involved why would you implement such thing on threads created by flagged users? It will just create a new kind of selection process where members would avoid threads created by this person just because it has been painted red or some kind of color labeling him a flagged user. Also if we are talking about boards/sections where trading is involve I don't think its too hard of a process for them to just click the topic itself and see the trust scores of the members posting it.

Most of the time users who are flagged or with negative trust are connected with SCAM or suspicious activity.
I don't want to waste any time to click, open and return for posts they created,
and I know other people who agrees with me.

If that is your way of viewing the trust system then you are wrong about it. You still need to review the member's flag or negative rating before you even make a judgement on what they are trying to do, their red tag might not even be related to what are they posting now. Negative trust is not created for you to avoid the member all through out in the forum or the threads they have created as well the negative trust is simply just a reminder of what they have done wrong on a particular trade or even to a person.
2029  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Question about privacy on Electrum Bitcoin. on: August 19, 2019, 06:24:46 PM
I don't think you can choose what Bitcoin you have in your electrum wallet that you can spend but I know you can choose what address you will send it from, and if Mr. X knows the tx id of the transaction then expect that he also know where the BTC is going. But to tell you honestly this is not a violation of privacy since tracking transaction with Blockchain is already being done in public, even authorities doesn't even need a warrant to observe the transactions happening in BTC's blockchain.

2031  Other / Archival / Re: Is KYC benefit to crypto people or not on: August 18, 2019, 08:15:06 PM
Have you saw the news last time that binance kyc has been leaked and photos were uploaded on telegram? Thats the disadvantage when doing kyc hackers can reveal your true identity once the exchnage is hack.

That ain't a disadvantage if it is one then other investment platforms such as stock exchanges, foreign exchange, and mutual fund markets won't have it. You don't need to blame about the procedure but the ones enforcing it these exchanges needs to invest in upgrading their security for the protection their client's private information. Even if you consider hacks as a con the pros still outweighs it by a mile and having it is a necessary thing to have to even fend of the criminal activity we are having right now.
2032  Economy / Speculation / Re: What makes Bitcoin price fluatuates throughout 2019 on: August 18, 2019, 07:33:26 PM
You cannot just simply connect or blame it all to the criminal industry for the reason why Bitcoin or the crypto industry is fluctuating all throughout 2019 or for any years before it. Because simply they are just one side of the puzzle and cannot simply be the only reason why the sudden price shifts we are seeing now. We also have whales offloading their positions or traders trading profits on the same price target and we also have them pumping its prices. We also have other news that can simply trigger FUD and FOMO to trigger price action. Simply blaming it all to the criminals cannot justify the extreme volatility we are facing now.
2033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 18, 2019, 07:00:57 PM
What happened to Coutinho may happen to Griezmann too perhaps after a couple of years. I don't think he will shine there... Its just a feeling in my gut.

Griezmann has been in Spain for years now, I don't think he will have many problems with a new club. He might need some time to settle but I doubt he'll end up like Coutinho, as long as he can perform well without thinking too much of what people say about him on the internet.

He just moved to Barcelona and not unless other clubs are willing to pay a hefty fee for his transfer I don't see Griezmann moving to any club anytime soon. Barcelona is known to value its players they often let go their old players or just try to overvalue their starters that is why we have seen Neymar left Barca for PSG as they are willing to match what they are asking for him. Even if Griezmann failed in Barca I know that they will still have a good deal for him as seen in previous transfers from the team.

~snip~

If I were you if you have the chance to liquidate all of your crypo assets now you should do it. You know that the country you are living in labeled cryptocurrencies as a illegal tender and also cannot be traded. Once they found out you have one expect that you will also be charged to the crimes you didn't commit like money-laundering, terrorism, and tax evasion because even if they didn't find any evidence against you just holding a cryptocurrency is enough for you to be charged on all of them.
2035  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Tricks For Newbies on: August 15, 2019, 10:38:44 PM
tips and tricks works good when reading but in real conditions it wont work out , i am sure newbies will experience all opposite

I guessed that the OP might have put an improper wording onto his post because what he is talking about is not some kind of tips and tricks that isn't useful its actually a strategy that a lot of traders use to maximize their current capital and its called shorting. In shorting people estimate where the prices will fall and sell near it so as before the prices will drop they can profit from it on its current high and after that when the prices have bottomed out that is when they will start buying again at a cheaper price which means they'll only get a bigger amount without adding more cash onto their trades where they will profit from it in another bull run.
2036  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Bitcoin Marketplace seeking feedback - Deal Your Crypto on: August 15, 2019, 09:58:57 PM
I do agree on putting on more background checks or a stricter KYC for the re-sellers you will have in the website especially when I just found out that you won't be the one handling the shipping of the product but the resellers themselves, it makes the buyer/customers using your website at risk here of being scammed by the re-seller from being sent the wrong item to receiving nothing at all. And my major concern here is really your shipment where you don't handle it yourselves, you made your website look like a e-commerce website but the truth is it's just one of those websites where random people can post their products on.
2037  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-08-15] A Mysterious $3B Chinese Ponzi Scheme Is Being Blamed for Bitcoin’s on: August 15, 2019, 08:00:29 PM
That's strange why would they partly sold some of the BTC in a U.S. based crypto exchange? Selling BTC in Bittrex could only mean that there is at least a person operating the scam in U.S. soil. I could understand why some of the cryptocurrencies are sole in Huobi since the scam originated in China but why would they sell some in Bittrex? Or did they just made themselves an easy target for the authorities since now they have involved a foreign based crypto exchange to their mode of escape because I'm pretty sure moving that huge amounts of crypto would require some KYC in both exchanges.
2038  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: {WARNING} Another web pretending to be exchange to steal your private keys on: August 15, 2019, 06:55:26 PM
This case is pretty obvious conceptually (use of an url shortener, asking for private keys, all in a haste, etc.). What one needs to be aware of too is that, although common sense should be enough to detect this case for what it is, quick first contrast tools such as VirusTotal and ScamAdviser show (currently) the site as clean (both the shortened version and the extended URL). The first firewall should still be the brain …

In our eyes it might be an obvious scam but for the rest without any internet smarts they can easily be fooled by this kinds of simple foolishness. I don't want to blame them but they should at least be aware of the certain dangers in the crypto industry where a lot of illicit activities are catching up since criminals are now eyeing the whole market because it's a perfect market for them to transfers funds fast. For any newbies out here you should at least know the basics on how you will protect you wallets or anything with financial information in you as the internet is plagues by phishing and malware wanting to get them all.
2039  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New Zealand Gives Greenlight for Cryptocurrency Income and Salary Payments on: August 15, 2019, 03:33:21 PM
Misleading title they will just like be accepting U.S. Dollar in crypto form because they'll just take in stable coins as salary payment. I know news like this one will always have a catch since the government is not dumb enough to take in normal cryptos because of its volatility which I know will affect their economy especially when these payments are being made in the bear market.
2040  Economy / Economics / Re: How negative interest rates affect Bitcoin on: August 14, 2019, 08:35:12 PM
It actually encourage people who have room to invest on hodling more the asset rather than spending it. With interest getting higher you will see that people tend to try to dispose assets in order to have quick cash which in turn decreases a lot of value for that asset, that price drop alone for the eyes of an investor sees an opportunity for them to invest more. If Bitcoin is somehow affected by high interest rates then expect for a lot of hodlers to  dispose some or maybe all of their position making BTC's price lower this will create a window of opportunity for a lot of investors/believers to buy more of them at a cheaper price.
