2041  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Cryptocurrency October discussion on: October 01, 2018, 08:31:14 PM
Is it me? Or people also think that this month could potentially bring more optimism around the crypto and new investors with expected prices to increase very soon?
2042  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reason why bitcoin won't last long (which are you afraid of?) on: October 01, 2018, 08:29:54 PM
I agree with the money opinions on here that the only thing that will bring crypto to a holt if not even a collapse is a worldwide government ban on crypto. This will be the most devastating news possible, at the same time I'm of the opinion this won't happen since so many industries are built on it generating the GDP a country requires to survive.

Think about it.

Tesla building resistance plants to burn some of all the electricity we get from the sun. And saving the world.

Could be a scenario.

Tesla is great and has a lot of money to invest in big projects but I think to solve the world energy crisis it takes more than the likes of Tesla. There needs to be a global union to make this happen.
2044  Other / Serious discussion / Re: We are from all around the world on: September 30, 2018, 08:57:21 PM
Bitcointalk.org community comes from all around the world and is very diverse. Someone's monthly income might have been 10.000 $ starting out, someone's may only be 100$. There is no equal standard of living all around the world.

For someone, a 100$ investment may be very big. Or even 20$. It is disrespectful to call their investments miniscule or insignificant. Everyone should have an opportunity to try to make their lives better with crypto. It is the intention of crypto currencies. And affter all, it crypto currencies are to be mainstream, people with limited assets should not be exculded and alienated.

So please, respect one another and each person's struggle.
Amen! True and hurtful stuff but true. we are all trying to make a easier living int he way we want and this is what I respect about crypto, on here everyone with the right attitude can make a decent living and more.
2045  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Ethereum vanish? on: September 29, 2018, 09:45:20 PM
No, Ethereum will not vanish from the market. Its just a bumpy road to get back to the usual market trust but once that's established things will improve and the time will be soon, even before the end of the year.
2046  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Price prediction for next 24 hour. on: September 29, 2018, 09:43:21 PM
IMHO Bitcoin price will not so active next 24 hours. It will be among $6500 - $6700. I think main price action will start on October 1. Personally I wait for falling of the market.

Yes, exactly my reaction. I think we are due for another small price spike but not yet perhaps closer to the December dates for no I think the market feels a lot of resistance to go above the current ~ $6500
2047  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Books or youtube to learn how to trade on: September 28, 2018, 08:30:08 PM
Really depends on what type of learner you are. Personally, I prefer Youtube videos because I find them more interesting and I don't get bored as easily. But both are good options.
2048  Other / Serious discussion / Re: What do you think about charity? on: September 28, 2018, 08:27:44 PM
Did you know that many people use charities as a pure way to save money. How? If you donate some of your money to charity then you do your tax you can claim half of it back. Isn't that something.
2049  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum Price Falls to 12-Month Low as Altcoins Suffer on: September 27, 2018, 10:06:25 PM
Ethereum’s price fell to a 12-month low of $228.8 today, falling below the $255.05 of Sept. 17, 2017, fulfilling expectations of those who have predicted a weakening of support that ICOs have bestowed on the second largest cryptocurrency since early last year.

Ethereum’s price has been on a roller coaster since it began climbing above the $20 range in March of 2017. The price reached $1,377.72 on Jan. 13, 2018, according to Coinmarketcap.com, riding the cryptocurrency market growth at the time. Some analysts credited a surge to ICOs on the Ethereum blockchain.

After January, the price fell, hitting $386.59 on April 7, 2018, then rose to $830.02 on May 5 before falling to its current low. The price began the current year in the upper $200 range, reaching $283.29 on Sept. 10, 2017.

Arthur Hayes, CEO of BitMEX, postulated in mid-August that Ethereum’s price was being supported by the ICOs that occurred starting in early 2017. Hayes said the ICO investments come from VCs that will dump their Ether in response to the bear market. He predicted Ethereum will fall below $100.

Then in some respect Arthur's prediction wasn't far off. Though, its sad to see that a coin which once held so much promise crumbled into pieces within a matter of months. That is also the large scale issue of crypto of too much volatility.
2050  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Give your opinion about the current market and future on: September 27, 2018, 10:03:24 PM
Like the multitude of people on here I also think that the current market has shown some good signs but whether that will hold for long its only a matter of time. However, I envision the future of crypto to be good.
2051  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When will the dumping end? on: September 26, 2018, 10:25:18 PM
Simple answer, 'Never'. And you wouldn't want to stop dumping of coins because it interferes with the dynamics of the market, plus there will always be some residual dumping its only the large scale ones that are of concern.
2052  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Won't it be possible to be paid for bounty in cash instead of token on: September 25, 2018, 05:23:27 PM
I'm sure its not unheard of but it is usually more risky because ICOs won't like to give away cash since there's still chances of not succeeding.
2053  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You cannot win in gambling on: September 25, 2018, 05:20:35 PM
No, not entirely but you can get a little bit of what you put in. Obviously, that depends on how often and how big you play the game.
2054  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Black Mirror and the "Chinese new social credit system" on: September 24, 2018, 09:03:44 PM
I don't know if you ever have seen the TV show called Black Mirror. If not, please, stop everything you are doing and go directly to Netflix or another platform you like to expend some quality time seeing this both dystopic and prophetic show.

Well, If I remember correctly, it was in the first chapter from the third season when they described on the TV show a social system based on points. In that chapter, a desperate girl was trying to go to a wedding because her "rating" was good enough to be "accepted" on a determinate status of her society. The status is managed towards how do you behave, so the people can "vote for you" (ops, really similar to our very "liking" actual nightmare). The girl tries hard to be highly ranked in order to be able to participate in some social events, as well as having a good job and so.

Ok. This is happening. In China, actually. The Chinese government is about to implement a system called "Social Credit system", designed to be fully operating in the next 2020. As in the Black Mirror chapter, the design is focused on creating a system based on behaviour: the best you behave, the best options do you have in life. As a dystopic nightmare, the Chinese people are going to be their own "social police", by voting their fellow citizens and ranking up or down depending on their own criteria.
You can read more about that in here: https://www.businessinsider.com/china-social-credit-system-punishments-and-rewards-explained-2018-4

So, what do you people think about that?
Are the Black Mirror nightmare ideas becoming truth? Or, on the contrary, being an inspiration instead of a warning?


I've seen the episode and honestly it disturbs me to learn that the Chinese government is in favour of such social obligation, it may well end up like in the movie. I hate the idea completely.
2055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Casino Question on: September 24, 2018, 09:01:09 PM
Hey everyone, have a quick question: how much bitcoin do I need to start a bitcoin casino? Gonna buy a turnkey bitcoin casino soon which will be about a grand, but about how much bitcoin do I need to reliably be able to pay off winners, at least in the beginning? I know the number varies, but ballpark.

If you're referring to just paying the winners you'd need at least 5 BTC in order to catch anyone's attention, especially those who bet big.
2056  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction becomes more popular with young people over time on: September 23, 2018, 10:16:52 PM
I have the feeling that  this is becoming more of a trend now with more young people and more time on their hands, they can easily be turned into such societal orders, taking up gambling.
2057  Other / Serious discussion / Re: How would you prepare to share massive wealth? on: September 22, 2018, 10:27:18 PM
I'll start by sharing it with me, myself and my own needs...I joke - its too selfish. Or is it? Though, jokes aside, everyone would first think of themselves, so tick that, then the rest of the world.
2058  Economy / Speculation / Re: Tomorrow is now. on: September 22, 2018, 10:23:10 PM
First you were skeptical about bitcoin, doubted its sustainability, then you watched bitcoin skyrocketed and it's a bit low in price for while now, presently mass adoption is growing like for real with features like bitrefil.com, that buys data, airtime via bitcoin, exchanges are changing bitcoin for fiat..Why not hop in? Sooner than you think it's becoming a legit store of value.

Tell them to hop in...

very good point, why don't people hop in? Many actually, are afraid of the losses they're likely to encounter with their crypto investments and some just can't trust the system or be bothered to understand it.
2059  Other / Serious discussion / Re: 300 EMPLOYEES but worth more than American Airlines, what?! on: September 20, 2018, 08:47:50 PM
This sounds like a trend market bubble and those who are of the same opinion that the cannabis business is going to explode could get a lot of quick profit. My opinion, temporary, but you gotta be where money is.
2060  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is technical analysis vital? on: September 19, 2018, 10:47:23 PM
Of course, market analysis is important but one must be selective and use common sense to filter all the garbage first before getting to the relevant info
