Yeahhh it's becoming popular but surely not everyone who ask for opinions are with ulterior motive and(or) somewhat affiliated with the given service/product. Honestly, I would only assume they are once they showed some strong signs like overly defending or praising them especially when it doesn't make sense anymore etc...

Being a newbie or even posting about it right after they register isn't enough of a sign imo, ppl could still register here to ask for help. Well, ofc assuming that the content of the post doesn't contain any "signs" too.

Right.

In all cases, having a site pay someone to post here, or the people behind it post here themselves asking what others think about whatever site/service, has turned out to be a bad way of marketing your product. Forum members here have rightfully been trashing every new site/service that newbies want to know more about, so it's actually a very bad thing to shill a site/service that no one even knows about.

Most people here aren't wasting their time in random shit chat rooms, but there is a lot of spam going on there, and newbies who don't know how toxic the crypto space can be in this field, might actually fall for it. In that regard, it's actually a good thing that they ask first before registering. It shows that people are cautious.
2062  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-02-23] John McAfee Affirms One Bitcoin Will Equal a Million Dollars Before on: March 01, 2019, 02:56:47 PM
I really can't understand why this person still makes such statements.

Publicity. In the end, I strongly believe that he doesn't even care about his predictions, and he may not even care about Bitcoin at all. Just think about it, what happens when his $1 million prediction fails? People don't take it seriously anyway, so he's not going to lose anything. If news outlets ask him why it didn't work out the way he thought it would, he just blames the unpredictable nature of this market. You're either right or wrong at the end of the day.

I'm certain that his public circus show is meant to up himself as brand and from there become an interesting billboard for scams, because they can afford to pay his ridiculous asking prices.
2063  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-02-19]May The Real Satoshi Please Stand Up? on: March 01, 2019, 02:24:49 PM
Are you ready for another name to come out claiming that he's satoshi?
I think it's safe to say that Crack The Scammer single handedly made "being" Satoshi very ugly. I'm not sure what fool is ready to walk himself to the butchery like him.

I think that is was a huge mistake of Satoshi to hide after some time that he made this ecosystem.
It was the best thing that could happen to Bitcoin. Vitalik Buterin is ready to write a fork in case he's forced to do so, he admitted that himself. Brad Garlinghouse & Co control ~70% of XRP's total coin supply, and they very likely have given the financial institutions they partner with assurance that transactions can be reversed if needed. EOS I don't even have to start about.

This is what happens when the main faces behind the coin/project are still active. Roll Eyes
2064  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin and Inflation on: March 01, 2019, 01:53:31 PM
Bitcoin could protect from inflation but could bring deflation because bitcoin have limited supply.
The limited supply is never an issue. It's only a matter of time before the price becomes expensive enough so that we deal with Satoshi units only, and as you may know already, there is no shortage of Satoshi's.

In the end, it all comes down to the price; if the price is high, you can buy more with x amount of coins, while if the price is low, you need to add coins in order to buy the same goods you bought when the price was high. Pretty similar to fiat actually.

Inflation should controlled by money supply but i think we should back to gold standart
Bitcoin standard is better.
2065  Economy / Economics / Re: Cashless Economy: Is Society ready for transformation? on: March 01, 2019, 01:32:25 PM
People are dead ready for the cashless society.

Based on what? Your bias towards a cashless economy? I know enough people who love to work with cash, and enough stores that do as well. As long as stores still accept cash, people aren't totally ready for it yet, because stores won't get rid of a payment form that will cost them a lot of customers.

Cash is somewhat of a decentralized payment option too. Peer to peer payments is power to the people. If you take that away from people, there isn't much left for them to utilize, especially when it comes to those who aren't into crypto and hold Gold as a safe haven asset.

We should give people more options instead of taking options away from them.
2066  Economy / Speculation / Re: Let's analyse Bitcoin's recent market rise on: March 01, 2019, 01:07:01 PM
I mean come on guys what connection do you see on the announcement of JPMcoin on BTC's rise? I really don't see any.

Average joe action. They follow Bloomberg and CNBC. In both cases they have pointed at how JamieCoin is a very important development for Bitcoin and other crypto currencies. These empty headed baboons don't understand that Bitcoin isn't Bitcoin because it's just a random crypto currency, but because of the decentralization and security that the network offers.

People need to get rekt once again by financial institutions or governments in order to realize that things need to change.
2067  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin bulls vs bears... what side are you on? on: March 01, 2019, 12:46:09 PM
Its rare to find a bear who believes in bitcoin and is shorting just to buy more bitcoin later. And these are, usually, temporary bears.

It's not really rare, but just not something that people like to brag about. People with money prefer to not talk about their holdings and profits, while those who have the least constantly pop up everywhere on social media saying how proud they are 10x'ing their money with whatever shitcoin.

People thought Bitcoin would be different in terms of wealth distribution, but it will be worse than the current fiat wealth distrubition, and perhaps that's a good thing. If you don't appreciate Bitcoin for what it is, then you're better off panic selling into stronger hand's buy orders. I couldn't care less about these people.
2068  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Current situation, how investors/traders are enriching these three. on: February 28, 2019, 01:10:12 PM
That's why STO is born and is being adjusted to become the most perfect mechanism. ICO really lost faith in me very much and I think this is really one of the worst.
I fully support STO when investors become important and have the right to vote on the business of the business.
That is what investors need and STO can also eliminate many of the fraudulent components.

STO's will become the next meme, just like how ICO's have turned this whole space into a pile of rubbish.

It doesn't matter what fancy name a new way or raising money has; when there is a lot of money to be made quick, you'll see the same con artists pollute that whole ecosystem. In the end, it all comes down to how people are simply begging for scams due to their promises. We have enough history to figure out that things don't improve, it's just the name that changes.
2069  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-02-26] - Samsung Announces Galaxy S10 Crypto Partners, Bitcoin & Ethereum on: February 28, 2019, 10:33:34 AM
Yes, its really odd for having this kind of decision yet there are some coins which is more better on what they have selected.

It's not really that odd. We see 99.9% of the coins as shitcoins, while those who aren't into crypto at all look at them as being innovative and interesting. From there it's pretty easy to have a shitcoin project convince you that they are the next big thing doing everything better than the rest. It's an opportunity for many, but with time it will turn out to be a waste of precious resources.

If you also add that South Koreans in general are very much into trying new things (also explains why the weirdest shitcoins some times generate tons of volumes), it makes it even easier to understand this move.
2070  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-02-26] Tom Lee: Bitcoin Will End 2019 On A High Note on: February 28, 2019, 09:41:08 AM
True. I have an opinion that every economical educated figure sees himself as crypto expert and a person who can prognose the price. Ridiculous!

He admittedly does have some level of economical understanding, but that's concerning the legacy market/industry as a whole. The mistake he continuously makes when it comes to crypto is sticking to what happened back in 2017, and thinks it was a normal event, therefore it makes sense that Bitcoin's "fair" value should be $20,000.

Even a broken clock is right at least twice a day, but this dude has been way off with his predictions every single time in 2018/2019. I honestly can't remember anything he said related to crypto that made sense. He's better off waiting for the next bull run to initiate and then predict prices. Even the worst noob is an expert during a bull run.
2071  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Steve Wozniak former Apple ceo is asked about his view on bitcoin on: February 28, 2019, 08:57:25 AM
Unlike Warren Buffet, Steve Wozniak is pro Bitcoin. The fact that such powerful and successful individuals are discussing BTC is achievement on its own.

Steve Wozniak isn't pro Bitcoin, he just likes the general idea of it. Being pro Bitcoin isn't all that pro Bitcoin when you take into consideration that he sold the few coins he bought for experimental purposes. He didn't even try Lightning Network, not even mentioned it, while it's one of the most importantant things that Bitcoin has going for it as we speak.

If Bitcoin will be that world currency one day, Lightning will play an important role here. Ignoring it just points out how much he's interested in Bitcoin. Roll Eyes
2072  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: when they say crypto's are "banned" in other countries outside USA what's that? on: February 28, 2019, 08:48:50 AM
There are actually certain states in the US that most likely have some sort of restriction on bitcoin transactions on a state level due to the fact that I see some states being singled out in the ToS of bitcoin exchanges. So it's definitely a worldwide thing.

In most cases it concerns gambling. Coinbase for example will suspend your account if you send funds to a gambling site, and they have pretty sophisticated tools to exactly know what gambling site you're sending funds to. It still happens that it catches people by surprise, but they should know that at least within the states, Coinbase is very tight with its policies.

It always has been one of the bravest exchanges in the space, so unless you're a total newbie and don't read the terms before registering, you should be aware of this.
2073  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Bottomed out ? TA analysis. on: February 27, 2019, 12:44:17 PM
let alone buying at 3.2k. if you think that both 5700$ and 3200$ are bottoms then you need a brain check.

You can't possibly discard $3200 that easily. Back then (above $6000) we settled lower high after lower high within a descending triangle, and we kep testing the same support levels over and over again. Right now we're doing the exact opposite. Higher lows and we keep testing the upper resistance levels between $4000-$4300.

If anything, if this ascending triangle we're in breaks out, shorters will very likely be rekt just as hard longers were rekt seeing the price tank from $6000 to where we are right now. Bullish market people expect higher prices, bearish market people expect lower prices. I don't blame people for being conservative, but there is no point in exaggerating this whole situation.
2074  Economy / Speculation / Re: Ways to Raise Prices bitcoin on: February 27, 2019, 12:11:58 PM
If we want to increase the price of bitcoin we need to have massive adoption where the demand on the market will increase.

Massive adoption is needed for use, not so much for massive price increases. We have been pumping hard for nearly a decade, and that with barely any noteworthy adoption. Bitcoin just needs to appeal to the average joes for a couple of months, and they'll fomo in like what happened back in 2017.

By the time we have that adoption, the price will reflect that and become way less volatile than it is right now. These are the times to make money and stack up Bitcoin using the pumps and dumps here, not later on when your neighbours and pension funds are in.
2075  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-02-26] Bitcoin Surpasses PayPal in Yearly Transaction Volume at $1.3 Tn on: February 27, 2019, 11:40:12 AM
If Jamie Dimon could jump in a shit here, it would look like; hey hey, we here at JPMorgan do $6 trillion in transfers a day, it's not done in cash, it's done digitally. Cheesy

The fact that something that was nothing, still is nothing to a certain degree, allowed over $1 trillion worth of economical activity to take place, is very much indicative of its usefulness. It costs pennies to move any amount from one place to another, and that over the most powerful/secure network ever, that's a sick deal you can't say no to.

I do however understand that articles coming up with these comparisons are a bit silly. In the same way, we could switch the metric used, and point out how superior PayPal is over Bitcoin when it comes to ecommerce, because that's what people use it for +90% of the time.
2076  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-02-26] Bitcoin Is A Delusion With No Unique Value – Warren Buffett on: February 27, 2019, 11:03:58 AM
Buffett didn't start about Bitcoin himself, the jerks over at CNBC did and 'forced' him to say something about Bitcoin. If you 'force' me to say something about a certain altcoin I don't care about, I'll absolutely trash it, and that's what Buffett is doing too. Stupid questions yield stupid answers.

CNBC already knows what Buffett's opinion on Bitcoin is, so the only reason they do it again is to sell the mass shitty news coverage.
2077  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Panic selling and postpone from trading, which one is the worse one? on: February 27, 2019, 10:49:48 AM
Without doubts, a trader must avoid panic selling. It is kind of improper trading. Instead of collapsing our own trading plans by emotional failures, it would be always better to quit for the day so that new opportunities may rise up in next days.

I definitely agree that your emotions shouldn't be triggering you to panic sell, but even the best traders end up panic selling, but that's because of how the market sentiment shifted, and not so much because of emotions. Traders need to cut their losses asap some times, because if you keep sticking to your plan, but ignore the changed sentiment, you'll lose big time.

People strongly believe that sticking to their trading plan is necessary, but it's no longer that when the market signals that the sentiment is changing. I have had to deal with this too a few times. I really believed that no matter what, I had to stick to my plan, but that turned out to be a failure. It works as long as the sentiment plays out in your favor, but as soon as you notice that it's changing, you should follow. It's that simple.
2078  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where are the best conditions for trade / transaction? on: February 27, 2019, 10:14:27 AM
Only Cobinhood exchange that offer zero trading fee but the trading volume there lower so the spread will be higher. I think only Binance that provide cheapest trading fee with high trading volume so we get very low spread. I hope Binance will add OCO order so we can put stop loss and take profit at the same times.

What exchange names itself Cobinhood? It constantly reminds me of Robinhood, which made me think that it was a typo at first. Ridiculous name for an exchange, and their volumes ($750,000 total) are just as ridiculous. The zero fee trading is meaningless when there are huge spreads costing you way more than paying a regular fee on a reputable exchange.
2079  Economy / Exchanges / Re: XRP is launching on Coinbase Pro - Finally! on: February 27, 2019, 10:07:08 AM
That being said, the good news for XRP however is more fiat liquidity, which is always a good thing for crypto currencies. I however doubt it will surpass $5 million on its USD pair on a normal day.
It has currently generated only $1.5 million in volume, and that's extremely poor for such a 'huge event' XRP moon boys could only dream of some months ago.

They dont really care about fundamentals actually but rather choosing on whats popular since they do know they can pull off profits with that.
They must be sick and tired of seeing how people buy in at Coinbase, then send the funds to a shady ass exchange and participate in pumps and dumps over there. The bravest kid in the room is one of the poorest, lol.
2080  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Using a BTC Mixing Service and Power Went Out on: February 27, 2019, 09:28:21 AM
I think mixing services don't necessarily keep seeds for their users as one way of protecting them, though they might have something else to help OP with the issue should he be able to prove that he indeed was the one doing the mixing with the occurrence of such an unfortunate event. Best thing to do is contact support immediately and do not let this issue go on for long without them being notified as this might lead into further delays of OP's funds.

Best of luck!

Not sure about other mixers, but ChipMixer provides you a seed that allows you to restore your session up to 7 days. If you don't manually end the session and have the data be erased, ChipMixer automatically will after 7 days.

Another thing that might work is to dig through your web history and cookies, it might be that the seed is saved there (in case you didn't instruct your browser to erase web history after closure).
