2081  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain technology is the future on: August 28, 2018, 08:45:31 PM
The main western countries are finding it harder to accept the blockchain technology because of the challenge it poses but those countries outside these borders are very much reacting the opposite and they should because it will benefit them.
2082  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 80% of ICOs from 2017 were scams. on: August 28, 2018, 08:43:33 PM
I would be a little bit skeptic about the actual numbers. Nonetheless, the number is high and one must really be cautious when coming into contact with new ICOs because it can be very frustrating down the line.

Caution is key and it really helps to turn you into that analytic minded individual. Opportunities are everywhere and most of them will probably not be legit, better to do all the research possible.
2084  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Psychology when entering the Cryptocurrency market. on: August 28, 2018, 08:38:49 PM
Psychology applies to everyone not just those who have entered the market space of crypto because even those who know enough about the market, or supposedly so, can also fall into the mind motions.
2085  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain without Bitcoin, is it going to happen? on: August 26, 2018, 09:47:12 PM
Blockchain is central to Bitcoin, we know that, right? To the questions of whether Blockchain can survive without Bitcoin, I think it be possible in the future if Bitcoin was to become less of a market dominator, only time can tell.
2086  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto is dangerous.... on: August 26, 2018, 09:43:37 PM
One thing is certain. Crypto is not successful for everyone, especially when you first start out. The crypto market is unstable and uncertain, but at the same time by assuming these risks, some can also make a good profit. Its all about learning and expanding.
2087  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: WHEN WILL WE BE OUT on: August 25, 2018, 09:44:25 PM
I think at the moment the market should show signs of recovery or at least flat line survival unless there'll be a big negative event coming down the line. In equal measure, one must just have hope - I suppose.
2088  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you suppose will happen when BTC loses it's dominance? on: August 25, 2018, 09:42:23 PM
Unlike, many of the people on here, I'm not excluding the possibility for an end market dominance of BTC and it that was to happen the next better coin will simply take its place.
2089  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading with regulated brokers? on: August 23, 2018, 10:28:51 PM
Lets face it, they will tell you to invest specific minimum amount to trade and once you do that then you will have the strict limit of trading and earning the profits. In this case you must be having profits equal to or more than what you have invested into them. This is the rule for the trading121 website and I am not sure about the etoro but the sites which I used were the strict one about their rules. Guess what, we should not be trying out them because they get our money and its our fault if we cant reach the profits and take out the money.

I agree with you, I don't see why people would accept some sort of control swift away from yourself. My hinge, personally, would be to not give in to any broker or any of the kind because you'd only lose money or worse get it all stolen from you. Just as a piece of warning.
2090  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Arbitrage on: August 23, 2018, 10:26:09 PM
there is a lot of disbalance in the market.
Especially I'm interested in lower caps where spreads can be 10-40%
Yes there are disbalances in the crypto market, and if you have analytical skills you can easily spot them. You can even find bots to do that for you. But when you endeavor to take advantage of these price differences, you can face many practical difficulties. For example, you may not be able to quickly withdraw the coins from one exchange to transfer them to the other. Or the withdrawal fees may eat up all your profit margin. Or the wallet status of the exchange may (coincidentally) be in maintenance mode. IMO, before spending any significant sums of money on arbitrage, make sure you have figured out all the practical steps and tiny details.

That there is very good advice. I myself, once experienced some of the unpleasantries you mentioned and its really important one takes all of the little steps into account because these things do matter.
2091  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 4 reason ICO market problem today on: August 23, 2018, 10:21:59 PM
The ICO market has huge problem today.
this is 4 reason

> Overvaluations
> Scam
> fraud
> Speculation



The problem of icos and scams is getting too big to ignore, there are many good icos out there but with so many scams around, there are a lot of people that are deciding that investing in icos is simply too risky, and since regulations are not going to be enough to stop this I think it is up to us to do our due diligence in the coin in which we are interested and avoid investing if something is wrong.

I'm in agreement with on many ICO being scams but then we must pause and ask ourselves why wouldn't there be. And by being armored with that knowledge we can decide on what's the right ICO to go for. Its imperative we do the research.
2092  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Poll reveals 2% of American investors own Bitcoin on: August 23, 2018, 10:19:28 PM
To be honest, it is really hard to accept the fact that only 2% of them owns BTC. In my opinion, the number is heavily understated for some reason. Even if the survey result is accurate, there can be a huge rise in number given that the next few hearings on Bitcoin ETF goes in favor of the crypto community. Many big investors are likely to join the market and the number will increase too.


For some reason, I too have the impression that the number is not representative of the true BTC owners because I have the feeling there are a lot more investors than we actually can think of, which is good.
2093  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WHAT NEXT FOR BTC on: August 23, 2018, 10:18:06 PM
Its a sudden But regrettable News that the SEC has ones again rejected a Proposal Regarding BTC, this time by ETF. somehow i saw this comming especially after an earlier rejection of a  Winklevloss ETF which proposed physical trading of BTC.  The rejection reasons are the same old ones., Market Manipulation being one of the major. To me this is an expression of how badly the SEC wishes they could control BTC and as long as they dont have the control button, no proposal will ever go through. with the current red market situation, im certain that somehow, the decision is going to have negative effects on the BTC value. Which brings the concern of WHATS GONNA HAPPEN TO THE CRYPTO KING

That's true, perhaps many people anticipated the same result from ETF but maybe with that knowledge BTC won't crumble like they wish because it seems to be that so far the price if anything has done the contrary.
2094  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Buy ETH or not? on: August 22, 2018, 11:26:56 PM
Given the current price and market trend, I think people who can afford investing ETH is a good choice; with great platform and second best crypto coin its almost impossible to fail buying at such a low.
2095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling addiction mainly due to loneliness and dissatisfaction? on: August 22, 2018, 11:25:02 PM
I think it very much depends on individuals. However,  it would make sense that some people join for those exact reasons, other reasons altogether or a combination of reasons. What's certain is that its a dangerous addiction.
2096  Other / Serious discussion / Re: What do you think about charity? on: August 22, 2018, 11:22:37 PM
In the simplest way, charity is a noble act, helping people and providing comfort to the less fortunate.
Though, some people do take advantage of this, in particular the rich because as it happens charitable contribution is excluded from tax, and this leaves plenty of room for tax evasion while at the same time you look rather innocent.
2097  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Pakistan to Urge Towards Cryptocurrency Due to Economic Crisis on: August 22, 2018, 11:18:45 PM
Pakistan is currently facing the political instability and looming its economy. Many Pakistani’s are now considering cryptocurrency in order to reduce the economic inflation.


There government made a huge error in deterring crypto tradings earlier this year. So many nations facing economic crisis similar to Pakistan have turned to cryptocurrencies, and thats fantastic news.

No doubt this is great news, though I wonder what this reflects for the rest of the world, whether it would make it less attractive for the more developed countries to embrace crypto given that most countries with unstable gov. are in favour of it?
2098  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Marshall Islands goes crypto on: August 22, 2018, 11:16:24 PM
Great, that's fantastic news which I hope does get implemented. Any country now making this smart decision to include crypto will only benefit from the system.
2099  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: GOOGLE BANS BITCOIN MINING APPS.ON PLAY STORE on: August 22, 2018, 11:14:30 PM
Googl has always not been friendly of cryptocurrencies in general, latest update is this: Google has placed a ban on mining apps hosted on google play store https://news.bitcoin.com/google-bans-cryptocurrency-mining-apps-from-play-store/?utm_source=Google%20Bans%20Cryptocurrency%20Mining&utm_medium=telegram&utm_campaign=Telegram%20Channel

I am with google on this move.
First of all let us talk about the practicality of using someones mobile phone in mining bitcoin.
As we all know bitcoin mining is getting really hard even for this days most powerful pc's then here comes some mining app thru mobile that will tell you could do it with your phone.
Then along the way theyll ask you for payment in order to further improve the potentials of your mobile miner.
And at the end of the day youll just find out that you were just being scammed.
So much better to put an end to it in order to protect  googles users.

Exactly right. In a way, I understand the deterrent Google is trying to set for miners to not use mobile devices for mining. What's their efficiency anyway? Not that high...and its another way to prevent cyber attacks.
2100  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You want the bear market to stop? Here are some things you can do :) on: August 16, 2018, 10:50:20 PM
Will you be able to stop them once they have paper Bitcoin and trade it on the side.  Look at gold and silver.  Once the bankers got you they got you.  Bitcoin should of skyrocketed with the no ETF decision.  They want ETF so we will get it soon.  The market will pump also.   Cheesy

I don't think we will see Bitcoin paper because its too similar to fiat currency, but I agree with you that once ETF approves crypto the market will pump.
