2181  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinsquare CEO allegedly ordered its employees to make fake trades on: June 16, 2020, 10:01:54 PM
Even isf this nes is real the exchange did not impact the price. It had about a volume of about 8 million dollars so that's on the bottoim of ranked exchanges.

I'm really not surprised that some exchanges do this in my opinion(along with wash trading). If you sort the exchanges on Coinmarketcap through 24hr volumes, there are a good number of unknown exchanges near the top.

https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/

Chinese exchanges were faking volume since the beginning. They stopped for a while when their government got involved but they they were all banned and had to move to Hong Kong, Singapore and other countries. I'm sure they are still wash trading there.
2182  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A month after Bitcoin Halving. What's next? on: June 16, 2020, 09:53:49 PM
What's next?

Maybe we will wait and see if the experts prediction are correct, some expert said that 2021 is going to be a good year and bitcoin will reached a new milestone of success which is breaking its ATH. Currently, it seems like the market is just normal, nothing special has been happening yet, it's still the old bitcoin that is volatile that we are seeing now, it just moving sideways.

I heard that before. This year is bad but the next is going to be better Cheesy they said that in 2018 and 2019.

The market is not normal because we had a big drop in stocks because of the coronavirus restrictions. People were unable to travel and many businesses went bankrupt and Bitcoin's price is reflecting that since May.

The halving is good but it's not going to help if world economy enters a new great depression.
2183  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tips for good trading on: June 16, 2020, 09:44:02 PM
thank you friend, these tips are really useful for newcomers. But for those who know nothing about trading, There is no need for them to come to trading market. Every side has its pros and cons just like this trading and there are some good and bad aspects. We need to know about them like if you successfull in trading then you are good at this side. If you don't know about and trading, Then i think it's bad for you. But not bad for everyone ,not bad for those who know trading. just bad for those who don't know.

If all people were thinking like you and tried only the things they know well in theory we wouldn't have any accidents, money losses, the world would be a calm and boring place.  Cheesy

You learn the fastest by doing. People should trade even if they know nothing about it just remember to start with very small money. You can project your income trading with 1/100 of your money.
2184  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Idea for a new kind of slot game - 3 player game - Take it and run with it :-> on: June 14, 2020, 09:56:10 PM
I like the idea.

It will have its disadvantages because for each game to start you'll need a multiplayer of 3. So if 32 players join and start a game every hour there will still be 2 who will have to wait for someone to join their game and be stuck for a long time. It's not a big disadvantage but if you're unlucky you'll be the one stuck waiting.

For this reason matchmaking in multiplayer games may take more than 10 minutes each round even when there's 500 or more people playing at the same time.
2185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLING SITE INVESTMENT on: June 14, 2020, 09:49:44 PM
Looking at your profits I feel that I should have invested instead of trading with my coins.

I have to somehow cut on my expenses and start saving up and investing some of my campaign profits especially since this is so easy for someone who's already in a campaign.
The only thing standing between me and more profits is the need to spend some every month Wink
2186  Economy / Economics / Re: If you have agricultural land would you sell it or hold it ? on: June 14, 2020, 09:43:48 PM
   I have agricultural land, from my grandparents. My father didn't do anything
there, he gave it to me. Its 40 km from the city, in dying village where houses
and land doesn't worth anything.
   It has fruit trees, different cherries, different nuts, apple's, peaches, pear's. I go
there once or twice per year, when I am passing by, if there's fruit I take some. I don't
plan to sell it, because of very low value, and I don't plan to work there, it's too far
and I have too many obligations. It will stay like that, probably I will give that to my kids
when times come.

Build a small house there and you'll have a serene spot to spend hot summer weekends surrounded by the smell of flowers and eating ripe fruits.

I'd really like to have a place like that and the cost of building a wooden cabin is really low.

My opinion about selling any land is plain and simple. If it's so far away that you can't visit it even once a year and can't rent it out you should sell it.
2187  Economy / Economics / Re: US economy wouldn't be shut down again despite the rising case count on: June 14, 2020, 09:38:07 PM
Live of one person is not cost a lot in terms of the whole country. Thats why i dont think that we will see another one shutdown soon
I do not support the system, but it is how it is - capitalism makes the choice much easier
$billions > lives of hundreds of people

Do you think it would be different in communism or monarchy?

People always weren't the first choice, the system doesn't really matter there's always those who rule and those who are ruled, even if the proper term changes from ruled to governed.
2188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto regulations still have a chance? on: June 14, 2020, 09:31:12 PM
Many people belief that the only solution crypto space needed is regulations, what will this solve? The biggest crypto problem is scammers, how can regulations cure this disease? Because regulations can only work on centralized exchanges and projects, what do you think? Drop your thoughts and let's hear you out?
I think only regulations can stop cryptocurrency dump because scammers can announce only fake projects. Regulations are needed everywhere in our universe. Some regulations should be fixed from blockchain. If new projects choose this blockchain, they have to follow these rules like they can't increase or release any amount of tokens they want and coin should have maximum supply.

If you think that the government and their rules will save you from being scammed you must be living in a different world.
Regulations aren't needed and won't change much. They will reduce the number of scams but only those who are not cunning and daring enough.
I'm sorry but I will disagree with that, for me, regulation will protect investors from investing in crypto, though it's pretty basic that everyone who are investing must have the knowledge but sometimes there are project that looks deceiving because they look legit, without regulation, they will be very confident with their scam activities.

The regulation will punish those who violate the law, especially the scammers of those, therefore it will reduce the scams as no one would commit a crime and end up to be in jail.

It's not the scammers that are the biggest problem in crypto but the people who grew up thinking due diligence is not important because there's a government official's shoulder to cry on.

With regulation, there will be more businesses going to adopt with crypo and they will be the one to make an initiative to help spread the awareness on  the risk of crypto investing, and that would help people to understand the real status on crypto in terms of its risk. Regulation will help minimize the scams, that's for sure, but it will not eliminate the scams, and we always choose regulation as it would help majority of us.

Are you sure regulations are meant to work like that? What are they suppoosed to protect? Make you not invest? Make you not lose money by choosing the wrong coin?
By all means, disagree with me, but you have not given any serious points to back your opinion.

There are deceiving projects but there's so many legit ones running alongside it. Why do you feel compelled to choose that new one nobody knows nothing about?
2189  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trade isn’t for Me guys. on: June 14, 2020, 09:17:11 PM
If you feel like you're not doing good at anything you have 2 choices.
1 learn to do it better, keep on rying and reading guides until you become good
2 drop it and do something else

There's no point in complaining. We can't help you!
2190  Economy / Speculation / Re: Volatility warning on: June 14, 2020, 09:03:34 PM
Bitcoin will go up above 10 thousand or crash to 6000  Grin

Again the analysis comes down to it will go up or it will go down Cheesy these analysts have no shame!

They are pointing to triple top but they're including November 2019. Was that inverted bart simpson really an indication of anything but manipulation?
2191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most trusted projects ruined me !! on: June 14, 2020, 08:45:36 PM
Altcoins aren't reliable, it's better to invest very little money on them because altcoins can easily die at any time, many good projects came into this space in 2018 but after few years they turned dead, I belief in Bitcoin 100% compare to others

OP did not account for the BItcoin bear market. It's not the fault of the trusted projects that they failed and every time you invest there's a number of things to consider not only trust.

late 2017 was the worst time to buy crypto in the last 10 years.
2192  Economy / Speculation / Re: Amazon has a gap to fill with their pe ratio on: June 14, 2020, 08:18:14 PM
Airliners and aerospace supply look fundamentally weak. Cruise lines too, I don't see a robust recovery there for some years, at least as long as the pandemic persists.

When the data shows retail investors are piling into these questionable sectors at the same time Warren Buffett is exiting, you have to wonder: is retail buying Wall Street's bags?

Why Is Warren Buffett Selling So Many Stocks?

I'd rather say if they continue to call it a pandemic. There's too little death cases to be calling it a real pandemic and to justify the destruction of tourism and transport.

What is your rationale for that? My understanding is pandemics are defined by their pervasiveness, not their deadliness. As far as deaths go, COVID-19 is now surpassing yearly estimates for deaths from influenza epidemics. The differences here are that this disease is far more contagious, and the seasonal flu is limited to the winter months while COVID-19 infections continues to rise into the summer:

Does it mean that ilnesses that linger for a long time without a large number of deaths are all pandemics? In that case HIV would be a poandemic.

Quote

I also think the number of deaths is drastically under counted. We know the Chinese numbers are outright bullshit. Add on a zero or 2 to everything their government allows to be published. In the US, overall death rates have dramatically risen but deaths are only being attributed to the corona virus with a conclusive test, and bodies aren't being tested unless a patient was previously hospitalized. There are many other examples. In Nicaragua the government claims there have only been a handful of deaths, and yet:


It also could be the other way round if the info about how the victims are counted is true. I'm talking about people who died with COVID19 in their bloodstream. In most countries they were counted as COVID19 victims and nobody bothered to determine the real cause of death. Many hospitals isolate patients with covid19 and if they die for any reasons the bodies are cremated right away.

I'm not saying you are not right about the number of deaths but you could be wrong and the real numbers could be much lower.



2193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Smartphones aren't spywares attack proof on: June 14, 2020, 08:05:20 PM
For me smartphones are one of the worst things you can use to store your crypto.

If you think otherwise, I have one question for you. If anything breaks in your phione will you be able to fix it by yourself or will you leave it at a shop for repairs? If you have the knowledge be my guest but the moment you'll give it away the risk of you losing everything goes up exponentially.

I know how to fix my computer but can't repair any phone damage so for me the choice is obvious.
You shouldn't store your recovery seed on your phone, copy it somewhere else, if my smartphone get damaged there is no way the repairer can get asses to my coins because

1. I use finger print scanner
2. My phone is always locked with facial recognition to access my crypto wallets


Facial recognition can be easily fooled. It measures your face and focuses on the size and location of your eyes. There were many instances when phones unlocked for different people because their faces had the same measurements.

Fingerprint can also become a disadvantage if you disable all other ways of unlocking your phone. A few times my phone was unable to recognize my fingerprints and I had to unlock it with a code.
2194  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Mobile Gaming on: June 13, 2020, 07:59:23 PM
I'm not a fan of mobile gaming let's just say that.

Most of mobile games are cheap knockoffs based on blockbuster titles like command and conquer. Its mobile version has nothing to do with a real strategy game but rather is a typical map clicker and builder where everything takes hours to happen andf you can buy powerups for money.

All those tour-based games where you have to spend money to make a move or be immune from attacks are made to drain your pocket, that's all. Would you prefer if they were draining your bitcoin wallet?
2195  Economy / Economics / Re: Richest BTC addresses can easily create whale alerts everyday on: June 13, 2020, 06:35:11 PM
Do you base your decisions on whale alerts? Would you ever sell your coins if you saw 100 thousand Bitcoins move one day?

How does one even trade by looking at whale alerts?

You see coins move from one address to another, what does it mean to you? That he's willing to sell? Maybe he struck a deal and is paying for something or moving money to a different wallet. Maybe he bought a hardware wallet and is moving coins there?
2196  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Newbies take my advice on: June 13, 2020, 06:24:25 PM
Let's not make too big of a deal out of it. Most people who invested in cryptocurrencies at any point in time made money.

You had to really be unlucky to invest in the top of 2017 because you had maybe a month in 10 years of Bitcooin's history where buying was not a good idea. 1 month in 120 months was unprofitable! Cheesy

Taking a loan to invest isn't such a bad idea if you know what you're doing. Most people who lost money put it into scams not real cryptocurrencies.
2197  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I need your help guys! on: June 13, 2020, 06:15:38 PM
That is a poorly designed site that doesn't even have a proper motivation to give them your money.
With so much opportunities and option in crypto world, don't let other manage your funds. You can play with your currency and earn for yourself.
If investment is what you need, look for insured and trusted services or go with verified dex which are transparent.

This thread is so lod that if she really was considering it she's already in or out. Your opinions at this point do not matter.

If she's in she can say goodbye to her coins. If she's out, great choice! That's all for this thread.

Samson Mow (@Excellion) suggested that Coinbase isn’t a safe place to store Bitcoin.

When I joned this forum years aho one of the first things I read was: never store your Bitcoins on exchanges.

Coinbase and other centralized exchanges are only good for buying and selling and then once the transaction is done you're supposed to move coins out of it to your desktop or hardware wallet.

I really don't care that they work with the IRS because I'm not a US taxpayer.
2200  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New Covid wave vs Bitcoin on: June 12, 2020, 01:05:02 AM
In most countries the wave is expected to hit in Autumn if ever. It may not come at all but if it does it will be in those colder months right when flu usually hits.

We had the first wave in Winter and Spring and the second one should be in Autumn and Winter because the virus can't survive in hit climate. For this reason there are barely any cases in Africa.

The effect on BTC will depend on the stock market's reaction.
