221  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How Low Can It Go? on: April 02, 2018, 07:19:02 PM
Since we're seeing some green now - I hope it will start finally rising in price. It's been a very long bear trend I think.

I saw an analysis correlating this drop to the last ones. By doing this they came to a conclusion we should see a "second bottom" in June and then the market should go bullish again.

Very interesting. I could try to find it and stick it here if you are interested.
222  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Risky move ? on: April 02, 2018, 07:17:03 PM
It's risky not to build a portfolio but to rather go all in with one token.
However, it might be a good time to invest a Tron, I admit you that.
Good luck, you will need it!
223  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Market is GREEN - Do you trust it on: April 02, 2018, 07:13:03 PM
Do you think the market will stay green or turn red?

It not an easy call

I say green

Hate to disappoint you, but 7.000 USD is a support point. Bitcoin went to 7.000 USD a couple of times already and bounced back. It's called "testing a support". It will go up for a short period of time and then probably test 7.000 USD again. I sincerely hope it won't cross it. Unlike 8.000 or 10.000 this 7.000 support proved to be very resistant though which I am very happy about.

However, altcoins have a much bigger problem - with although Bitcoin just keeps bouncing back, altcoins seem to bounce less and drop down more, strengthening Bitcoins relative supremacy each time. It basically means it is a "dead or alive" time for altcoins.
224  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: EOS Price VS ETH is strong! on: April 01, 2018, 09:24:34 PM
EOS is really not looking that bad, I don't know the reason for it. However, I cannot really vouch for any project relations in this period when everything is strongly bearish and most price movements are very unrealistic and not connected to any good or (real) bad news.

It will strengthen its position though.

I am extremely bullish on Peculium. However, the market should go bullish first Wink
226  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ICO Coin Limit - Non-stop?? on: April 01, 2018, 09:20:10 PM
Hello guys, as we all know theres this countless ico coins being produced already since everyday theres newly added coin. Its just like a new song being released everday. xD In your own opinion, would there be a time when World government will no longer accept new produced coin?
 Well its for the security also for everybody to avoid investing to wrong or scam coin. And its sorry also  for the big companies that are yet planning to make one. Let me know your idea? Smiley

It is an open source, free to use code. Governments (well, at least most of them) cannot ban it without going against constitutional rights, they can only regulate the market.
Your question is similar to this one: "People write blogs every day, can someone forbid them to do it after the number of blogs reaches 1 gazillion?"
227  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin and eth big scam on: April 01, 2018, 09:17:04 PM
I buy bitcoin at14000 and eth at 1200 and they only fall in price. Cryptic are scams wish I never invested. I should of listen to Warren buffet

You cannot call someone or something a scam because you timed the market badly and made a bad investment decision. That is rude, unprofessional and totally uncalled for.
And don't be that pessimistic, just hold, it will come back......
228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Payment tokens are the past not the future of crypto on: April 01, 2018, 09:15:21 PM
The success of blockchain and cryptocurrencies isn't tied to payments. I keep seeing people post that we need to be able to buy everyday items for crypto to "make it" and I couldn't disagree more.  Why do I need to make a real time purchase for BTC to be a success?  What if BTC is really my savings and investment account combined? 

It is hard to base savings on an asset without any inherent value, and inherent value of Bitcoin and other cryptos is, well, ability to make payments.
Hence in order to be able to use it for savings - using it as a payment tool should come first.

Currently, Bitcoin is in a bubble since the financial value exceeds its inherent value by far.

229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: TRON (TRX) coinburn countdown, + TRX down 19% atm! :D on: March 31, 2018, 10:44:03 PM


Tron doesn't seems to be scam, but the market cap of billions for just a token without a working product is too much. People are buying without reading.

While I do agree to the extent, let's be fair to Tron - try to think how many of them actually do have a product?
230  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 50'000 USD to invest NOW on: March 31, 2018, 10:40:37 PM
Where shall I send you my bank account number?  Cheesy

Kidding aside - don't do that, not even in your dreams. Make a portfolio.
231  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cardano on: March 31, 2018, 10:37:46 PM
Cardano is a very long term investment. Check this out: https://www.cryptomiso.com/. It's a list of cryptocurrencies ranked by GitHub commits. This list is not perfect as it only shows central GitHub commits, however it is an indication of development going on inside.
232  Economy / Economics / Re: BITCOIN IS NOT BUBBLE!! on: March 31, 2018, 10:32:38 PM
I think you should educate yourself on what "a bubble" is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_bubble
It's a financial construction, not a technological one.

The blockchain is a technology with great potential, and the value of cryptocurrency market is still far from a dot-com bubble. However, Bitcoin actually does have all the characteristics of the economic bubble (an asset at a price or price range that strongly exceeds the asset's intrinsic value).
At the end of the last year, it reached the point where it was one of the assets of the greatest value in history, backed up by what - a great potential? Bitcoin is an unfinished product worth over 7.000 USD per piece. It is a bubble. However considering its potential, its value is still far from the value it might reach. It means that in the end, it's the bubble that won't burst before its intrinsic value reaches the heights of its financial value. Then it won't be a bubble anymore.

Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting......    Cheesy
234  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitter truth behind the market crash on: March 31, 2018, 01:04:47 PM
You actually summed that up pretty good. Nothing to contribute here, but I really have to say..... Well done!
235  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what factors are heavily affecting its declining bitcoin exchange rate ????? on: March 31, 2018, 01:00:42 PM
False FUD created by regulation issues do the most of it (very unjustifiedly) + some other things like problems with exchanges, however, the move was actually pushed by as a normal yearly movement - after a lot of "end of year" investments there comes a phase of consolidation after the New Year. However, since with Bitcoin everything is so dramatic, the rises and consolidations look more like overhype (which they actually are) and total breakages.

Also, there were no substantial real developments over last few months so there was nothing "tactile" to sustain the opposite movement.

I also suspect that the centralization is doing its part.Big investors and whales are actually driving the price up or down to get richer (they can do that with big buys and big sell-offs -they push the price up or down and also create panic euphoria since their moves are constantly being monitored by the society).
236  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is owning bitcoin a crime? on: March 31, 2018, 12:55:12 PM
Your question should actually be - is it moral?
Even holding a gun is considered legal if you have a license, however, I would highly doubt considering it moral unless you were a hunter... some people even doubt that, but I think we will never get to the bottom of what should really be considered moral and what should not...

Some things are fairly easy though.

Bitcoin is considered legal, and furthermore, I would say it should also be considered highly moral. Blockchain and Bitcoin were developed because their creator (or creators) was very dissatisfied with the way the current financial systems work. Primary emission of money is controlled by private bankers, distribution is very inefficient and institutions like Wall Street, S&P, Moody's or Fitch have enough power to control the financial system in such way that they can even create and end financial crisis (deliberately or not). If you are all for a system that has a purpose of making a financial system fairer, I would say you are on a more moral side of the things.....

239  Economy / Economics / Re: Blockchain and the world of the future (Star Trek society, anybody?) on: March 30, 2018, 10:13:01 PM

Here is an example (with it's pluses and minuses, obviously).

1. Divide equal amount of money over blockchain to all the people. Keep a basic income the same every month.
2. Allow extra money for individuals bringing extra added value.
3. Keep the theoretical maximum of how much one individual can possess - to keep inflation and centralization "in chains". The surplus has to be spent - either by spending in economy thus keeping the cash flow or by giving it to charity

1. To make it work you need to fight one of the greatest enemies of the humanity. For example this is the main enemy of the United States. Sometimes they are trying to fight it but they are constantly loosing. This is not Russia, this is not terrorists but this is welfare.  It is not only the unemployment benefits. The subsidies spent on public primary schools are also a welfare. Each day spendings grow while the quality of the service is at the same bad level. None of the politicians can ever stop most of this welfare. Basic  income only make sense if the current welfare will be removed. And even then there are still a lot of doubts on this point.
2. This is how salaries usually work.
3. Inflation should be kept in chains by the financial policy of the government. Money should have its market value. Sometimes they should be inflated during the financial crisis. If you measure the inflation with something that can't be changed (like blockchain) then it can make the situation only worse.  Those guys that inflate the money are not always the greatest villains.

1.I agree with you. My current intention is to discuss economic systems only, not how to enforce them.
2. Well, actually - bonuses and profits work that way. But let's keep it at salaries - not all people get salaries for their work and far too many are underpaid.
3. Yet they don't succeed. Inflation should be a few percents under the percentage of GDP growth, However, it is mostly a few, or quite a few percents over. That is because of the current system of money creation. Do you know how that works? Do you know what banking multiplication is?
Fiat money in most cases doesn't have its market value. It is usually fixed or they are using a floating fixation.
The last sentence is true. However, trying something old to bring something new - like temporary hyperinflation for burning credits, or blockchain, although risky, is actually better than this. This is called a slow dying.
240  Economy / Economics / Re: Money vs Barter on: March 30, 2018, 09:59:56 PM
Money is one of the important concepts, This section talks about money from the perspective of microeconomics.when people exchange goods and services without using money, this is called barter. "I'll cook dinner if you'll do the dishes" is an example of barter. Imagine an economy in wich i can sell services as a consultant to banks, but what i want is to buy a new suit. the clothing store that sell suits does not have any use for my services as a banking consultant. i sell consulting services for money, and i buy a suit using money. money serves as a medium of exchange. the bank does not sell suits. how can barter work?


Barter was replaced by money a long time ago for the reasons you already described. So why the question? Has some political party, society or movement brought that up - the incentive to return to the barter system?
