221  Economy / Economics / Re: Invest in BTC vs Invest in Real Estate? on: November 20, 2019, 02:58:28 PM
In my opinion, bitcoin and real estate are profitable and promising investment choices, but both must be based on sufficient knowledge and large capital and if you have a lot of capital, you don't have to put all your eggs in one basket.
both have different risk appetites, but if the comparison of returns or bitcoin profits will be faster than real estate that takes more than a year.
Both bitcoin and real estate are profitable but I am not use all my money investing with bitcoin, many people only talking with profit after investing on bitcoin and altcoin, but why never discuss when bitcoin drop how much investor money lost with buy on higher sell with lower price, never find discussing when bitcoin down and how to back up our investing back to profit.
If you listen clearly both positive and negative feedback of Bitcoin, But peoples are create only when it will going to moon and when it stop the dump so you some peoples are not listen clearly like you. Day traders only concentrate Bitcoin not a Real Estate and long term investment is both are good so it can decide only investors.

Agree with you if we will just let ourselves explore and realize it. When I was new here, I don't have any idea about real estate business, all I know was that I am very much interested in crypto as this will give me so much profit if I will just study it, but as time is passing by, I realized that both of them are profitable, that real estate is one of the most good investment, as we will not lose from it unlike to crypto that there is risk, so better do both.
You can find names of people doing real estate among richest people of the world. No doubt, it is a good investment. It can return you big profits but the game is not too easy to play and neither the profit earned takes place in short period of time. Can we imagine kids becoming millionaire by investing in real estate? Bitcoin and altcoins are for every one. You can become rich with very small investments and at a very young age.

Bitcoin is and always will be the gold standard of cryptocurrencies.
No matter how close other altcoins ever come in terms of market value or other features.
BTC will always stick to the first position.

I used to think that ETH might surpass BTC and it got really close at the start of 2018 but I guess it was just a huge pump.

I have a little less than half holdings in BTC and the rest is divided in ETH, XMR and LTC.
So yes, I'm holding BTC and I'll keep HODL it for the foreseeable future.
I agree with you mate. Bitcoin is the backbone of digital coin market and nothing can takes it place. It was, is and will remain the king of crypto currencies. The possibility of altcoins reaching bitcoin’s worth is less than one percent. Just look at the difference in values of bitcoin and ethereum, which is king of altcoins. Ethereum is a good choice but cannot compete bitcoin at all in terms of profits.
223  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which one makes sense on: November 19, 2019, 02:43:25 PM
Either of the two could lead you to nothing if it ends up to be a scam so why not just get through it before the project runs. You have the option to maximize the stakes given anyway so why not that?
Just make sure you made your research in search of possible fraud or scam, it'll be worth the work and efforts in the end.
You have made some point certainly. All would turn out to be useless if the chosen project is not capable of returning any profits. The market is full of scams and before participating into bounties, it is best to do deep researches on one’s own. Once that step is cleared, go with running bounty while the fundraising is taking place. That way, he wont have to wait for long to make good bucks.
224  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2020 on: November 19, 2019, 02:10:28 PM
The year 2019 is reaching its brink. 2019 was an average year for the crypto market. The market capitalization took a drastic change and the prices of most of the cryptocurrencies crashed. However, the crypto market is sort of leaning towards the green region in the last quarter of 2019.

Now, you might be pondering which cryptocurrencies are considered as a “Good Investment” in the upcoming 2020.
In my view Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple (XRP), Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash are the top crypto in 2020.

What's your take on this?
Isn't it too early to assume which one would be a good investment for next year? I mean, we are still on the present year and problem still, is so obvious. The market still, is not showing recovery to most of the coins in the market. Making absurd assumptions will just tempt investors to drag themselves into regrets once their chosen coin do not make it on the process of uprise. We may recommend the huge ones, which is more likely to happen, such as BTC, LTC, XRP, BCC, and the likes but it won't change the fact that recovery has no assurance to occur. Therefore we should focus on the present and continue being patient in such situation.
If you ask me, there is no need to ask such questions when answers are too obvious. Who does not know which crypto currency has been the most beneficial and best investment so far? Not only this, we also know the best altcoins too. Bitcoin should be the number one choice of all investors. No matter what year we move towards, no digital asset can be as good as bitcoin. You should add ethereum in your list too.
225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you become a better or a worse person after you started gambling on: November 19, 2019, 01:33:14 PM
I’m the same person with the same personality now as before I started gambling. It only changes you if you have a gambling problem. Only gamble with amounts that you can afford to lose. Never take risks & endanger yourself financially, it’s just not worth it.


Entirely a matter of individual I guess. I also believe that gambling changes only those people in a negative way who become obsessive with making money out of this activity. As long as you play it for the entertainment purpose only and that too in limits, it is not possible to lose senses and money. If played for fun only, this game becomes boring earlier than many expect. Betting with limited amounts helps in avoiding depression.
226  Economy / Economics / Re: Your Source of Investment Money? on: November 19, 2019, 12:50:27 PM
I am freelancer and earned a few bucks through ICO campaigns back in 2016-2017.
This is the money I invested in BItcoin and started trading back in 2017. In that year if you look at the market, prices went parabolic and I guess everyone was able to make fortune out of their investment be it bitcoin or altcoins. I was fortunate enough to make trading profit during that time and invested that back in the market. I lost some in 2018. But that experience did teach me trading and now I am earning decently enough through trading cryptos.
2016 and 17 were good days for sure. When the market was not full of scams and people had ways to earn bucks by joining signature campaigns or participating into ICOs. Good to see that you were one of the earlier bounty hunters, somehow. Moreover, you made a very good use of your earned money. No act can be more beneficial than investing in bitcoin. You did it in very sensitive market time. Losses give us important lessons so smile.
227  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Beware! You are not safe if you are using facebook! on: November 17, 2019, 06:42:47 PM
Title is right. Nothing is safe when you're using Facebook, that's why I tend to avoid using it unless there is something important to read into. Billions of people wanted to show off their privacy to public, and it's up to them on how would they handle such privacy breach.
I am not sure about if it is really partnered with CIA.
All I can remember back in the day was there was this data leak scandal from Cambridge long time ago, that made me lose my trust to Facebook all in all.
Facebook been known in leaking information that's why they created in messenger a secret conversation feature that may changed people's thought on them. But little did we know it's just their top up for the issue. We should be aware of what we input in our account in social media try not to give crypto details unless it's about bounties. Never tell your personal info.
To be very honest, this is a bit unfair with Mark. He is not the only puppet in hands of NSA and the higher authorities. Moreover, it is not like Mark has forced anyone of us to use Facebook or other social sites, and publish all personal information on them. Google does the same. It keeps track of us our every moment. Every query gets recorded and google-maps knows well about our location.
 Our privacy is in our hands.
228  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can I still get wealthy through Bitcoin? on: November 17, 2019, 06:27:20 PM
You still have a chance to be a millionaire through Bitcoin... If you have the guts to invest a big amount of money in cryptocurrency however even if you invest a big amount of money you can't still be a millionaire if you don't have enough or proper knowledge about the market or trading.

You can gain profit from the volatile market take the guts on buying on the bearish market and earn a lot in bullish market however the risk of investing to a volatile industry is high so you should know the considerations you might get in investing to cryptocurrency industry.

Well you will also have chance even if you have invested a small amount of money but it will surely requires you a lots of effort to achieve it but whether small or big everything will depends on you, on you skills and knowledge, on how you analyze the market, the charts, that will dictate whether you will earn or not in bitcoin. After you have exert lots of efforts and money on bitcoin i think you can achieve what you want to achieve to call yourself a wealthy man.
In my opinion, the only thing that is required to get benefit from bitcoin is taking the decision to invest in it. The early investors never imagined bitcoin to touch high marks of 20k dollars but this happened. They took the chance when no one was even willing to pay bit of attention to bitcoin and then, they just hold it out of trust. Invest some money in bitcoin, trade in it or hold but never sell it out of fear.
229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What type of Cryptocurrency is used in the Deep Web for transactions? on: November 17, 2019, 06:08:26 PM
Bitcoin is the most used crypto in deep web for transaction

even there are many better privacy coins, but bitcoin is still the most for this case

IMF tells us about this case

Quote
A recent report by a leading crypto-payment analytic firm, Chainalysis, shows that Bitcoin transactions on the dark web grew from approximately $250 million in 2012 to $872 million in 2018. The firm projected that Bitcoin transactions on the dark web will reach more than $1 billion in 2019.
https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fandd/2019/09/the-truth-about-the-dark-web-kumar.htm
The dominance of Bitcoin is the reason why it is used widely in dark web. The anonymous altcoins also share the most used places in crypto transactions of Deep Web but the lack of transparency opens a hole in the underground which is main stage for entering another side of online world. The XMR, ZCASH are main payment gateway of the anonymous crypto transactions afaik.
The liquidity that's available is maybe one of reason why bitcoin is chosen and the fact that almost all people in the world know atleast ever heard of bitcoin that making it easy for them without the need of further explaining. I only hope that bitcoin is not being misused by some scumbag to do something illegal because that'd simply destroy the image of bitcoin although those people are only really small portion of bitcoin users. Those privacy coins also contribute to facilitates transaction I mean we actually dont really need true anonimity if we dont deal something illegal and I could imagine why many exchanges start to ban privacy coin.
we can say that bitcoin is the first digital currency and has the highest value. It is also not very easy to track its transactions and find the owners. People who deal in dark and deep web are definitely like the common users of internet. They are the tech geeks and all of them chase money. It is only about money in that world. So bitcoin naturally become their medium for doing business.
230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with Fiat or Crypto? on: November 17, 2019, 05:46:06 PM
I go for both, fiat for offline gambling like poker and card games and Cryptocurrency for online gambling sites, fiat and Crypto has their purpose when it comes to gambling, I have a lot of gambler friend who is not yet in to Crypto and we love to play card games and of course they will never accept Cryptocurrency, they want cash or fiat, and when it comes to online I always prefer Crytocurrency, very convenient to use and it's anonymous.
Totally a matter of personal preference. If someone likes to stay home and gets nervous in crowds, online gambling is the right way to enjoy it. Using crypto currencies has its own benefits. Not only will you remain hidden but in case of winnings, the amount of your win increases with time. Traditional gambling has its own pros and cons. The best thing about it is the environment, audience and servings.
231  Economy / Economics / Re: What should I convert my money into? on: November 17, 2019, 02:43:27 PM
Bitcoin is always a really good option, you can make a lot of profits from it when the price starts to go up. There are lots of other crypto assets/currency that you can invest your money into depending on what you want. If you're looking for an investment there will be no other option that is better than bitcoin. But if you need a stable coin you can go for the Gemini Dollar or PAX.

With stable coins you're not going to make profits, your savings will remain the same for as long as you hold it. But as for volatile coins you're going to be making a profit and even more when there is a bull run.
There is no point in converting money into any thing else if no profits are planned out from this action. Investing money has just one aim, making good amounts of money with ease. Instead of investing into stable coins, he should keep the money and save himself the trouble of this conversion. But if he wishes to become rich in short period of time, he should invest in bitcoin.
232  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Saving for a House! on: November 16, 2019, 03:34:19 PM
This is a very big risk - getting money for a house and investing it in cryptocurrency. For such a short period - 6 months - you will receive a small profit. There is a risk of being left without funds at all. I do not advise you to do so.
It is unlikely that this will be possible because if you only have $1000 to invest, saving to buy a house is impossible. I think this is the way for big investors and depends a lot on the money they save in this market. For me, I cannot afford to do this but I will use some of my savings for emergencies as this is my insurance for my safety in everyday life.
It is not exactly impossible to save for a house by just an investment of 1k dollars but a difficult task for sure. The probability of him achieving this is small as he does not have many potential options to achieve this. Rather there is only one way through which he can save for his dream house and that is to day trade bitcoin. He should buy bitcoin and try to increase its amount by trading on daily basis.
233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SCAM ICOs, what we can do? on: November 16, 2019, 03:01:21 PM
I think  if we have face that scammer  & get loss big or small amounts. Then we should be  aware & telling about that project who gives us too loss & bycot neccesarily for  people.
There is no point of making an issue if investment was done in some IEO that was not even listed in trustworthy exchanges. This does not make any sense to me at all. First of all, the investor chooses an exchange that is not a renowned one, then he goes for IEO, which finding a good one is hard. Binance fully understands its popularity and would not risk it by conducting all sort of projects, without any checks.
234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction at its Worst! on: November 16, 2019, 02:21:21 PM
I heard recently an interesting thought about alcohol addiction. It was said that from birth one can say about a person whether he is predisposed to alcoholism or not. The whole secret is allegedly how well the body produces an enzyme that raps alcohol https://www.mydr.com.au/gastrointestinal-health/liver-and-alcohol-breakdown. And if this enzyme is produced well, then a person does not appear addicted to an alcoholic.
Perhaps this idea makes sense

Personally, I don't think it works on this level

And as I'm inclined to think, it has more to do with brain chemistry rather than some enzymes in the liver. Why? The logic is pretty simple. It is not consumption of alcohol itself just like not gambling per se which turns people into alcohol and gambling addicts. It is the urge that they feel after they have not drunk or played for some time that drives them insane and makes they come back for more. Obviously, all this happens in the brain, not in the liver
we can say that our body and brain start treating such addictions as something compulsory to survive. For them, it becomes a need to live and work. This is how addictions actually work. They fool our brains and train it to believe that some actions are necessary for staying alive. It is not easy to work against your  own brain. That is why the treatments to shake off such habits put a great mental pressure on victim.
235  Economy / Economics / Re: BEEN IN THIS GAME FOR 6 YEARS on: November 16, 2019, 01:23:05 PM
I would tell family and friends and got  a response like I will wait till it comes down.  If those people listened 1 year later would have profited well. Now I tell friends  .1 BTC  I  think for many that is attainable, now the response is did bitcoin not crash. My point is that I think if we educate fundamentals which is tough we might win some hearts.

I cannot blame them if they prefer to wait because experts and old traders are also doing that , to teach therm fundamentals you should know  thoroughly, everything about Bitcoin so you can explain to them better the fundamentals and the many benefits of Cryptocurrency.

A choice that you cannot challenge or deny for every human being who has thought the right strategy going forward. This will be a decisive step for you to produce something good or bad.
Holding bitcoin for long or at least until next pump is right decision. It wont harm the investors. Waiting is the working method here. The amount of profits that can be gained from bitcoin depend on the duration of time for which a holder keeps it in pockets. If someone consider this choice a risky one, they have the option to learn about bitcoin and then make decisions to the best of their knowledge.
236  Economy / Economics / Re: Millennial generation are screwed! on: November 16, 2019, 12:59:18 PM

YouTube has become a good source of income to may people. Actually Google has provided a lot of ways to earn money by sitting at home. You can have your own blog and use Google Ads. You don't have to follow strict timings of offices. Trading demands some real skills and it is best for millennial to invest in bitcoin and other potential coins and hold them for a long duration of time.

Thanks to the internet world as we become open and has a lot of opportunity online, because of this a lot of people has given the opportunity to earn thru freelancing. This has been a great help in the whole world, and for people mocking the Millenials, we shouldn't treat them as if they are not doing something interesting in their life, a lot of millenials has become rich at a young age.
Every generation has its own pros and cons and earning was never this easy. In past, people had to get up early in the morning and reach far away offices on time. Now things have totally changed. With internet, anyone that has skills can make money without ever taking a step outside his home. Internet is the backbone of millennial generation. With the passage of time, new earning methods are also being created.
237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: which is more scary... on: November 15, 2019, 11:56:26 AM
Hi all...
I want to ask, which of these two things is more feared by traders, market manipulation or coin dumps. both of these things always make the loss of traders from the beginning of popular crypto until now.

I'm personally very scared when the market is at an uptrend, but suddenly there is a dump that causes prices to fall very deep, even lower than when I bought the coin. that's why when prices go up high (more than 15%) I won't buy it. I better not get profit than get stuck by FOMO. while for market manipulation, this is normal. I'm not surprised by this, because I always trade coins that have a large marketcap. so the risk of manipulation is very low. and when there is manipulation I will definitely know.

how about you guys? which makes you scared?

Partly both the things are unpleasant I often encounter when people complain about market, market makers and so forth. Let us assume that market makers are unfair. Are we (as investors) able to revenge them? Probably not. Generally I would not recommend somebody to revenge because usually revenge devastates an initiator. What about market makers, they are qualified market participants and that is why they usually score vs regular investors.

The only way to take revenge is by not investing into that project any further and warn others with your words at a large scale. This, in my opinion is not revenge but a punishment to the fakers for playing with trusts of innocent people. In order to keep yourself safe from such incidents, the best way is to invest in renowned coins like bitcoin or ethereum. At least, the fear of FOMOs gets eradicated.
238  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty hunters do not need to wait for altcoin season on: November 15, 2019, 11:32:53 AM
Many developers are holding back till market change entirely bedore they release their new projects but few ones who are confidence that their project will survive still proceed this is why i don't quit or wait for altcoin season
I am not sure if there are developers who are holding back just to release their project in pump season. If they think that this will do any good to them, then they need to reconsider their strategy because nothing like this will happen. No doubt, the bull market attracts new investors but I do not think that people will show enough trust to make large investments in new projects. They will chase the good ones first.
239  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it possible to double capital in 2 months? on: November 15, 2019, 11:16:48 AM
It is possible if you are consistent in earning at least 2% per day. Again that is if, whats not possible is for you to consistently select the right coin everyday that will give you 2% per day. There might be days where you can earn more than 2% which is good to cover those days where you earned less than your target. Dont ever think of joining those signals group, they are not a big help actually.
in general, by trading, you can multiply your assets, or even more. But, getting 2% every day is not easy. Today your goal has been reached, but we do not know going forward. the risk in this case is very high. think again before you do it, you can produce more than you think, but when it doesn't match what you think, then your assets will be reduced. if you are prepared to accept the risk, then all will be fine.
Getting two percent of profit on daily basis is not difficult but a hectic and time demanding work. The trader must hold a coin that at least provides with this opportunity and he should also be skilled with patience and wisdom. He was able to reach his goal with perseverance and devotion. If he will keep on working like this, he is gong to make a lot. As far as risk is concerned, failures are part of every journey. They cannot be avoided.
240  Economy / Economics / Re: Any ideas of what we lack in crypto world? on: November 15, 2019, 10:42:04 AM
Majorly what is lacking is mass adoption. We still have countries setting up regulations against cryptocurrency, Some persons are still skeptical about the genuineness of crypto. While some sectors like Financial sectors, Oil and gas, Agricultural sectors etc are beginning to adopt the use of blockchain in their services. Others are still skeptical. I sited mass adoption because until we can easily exchange Bitcoin or other altcoins for goods and services, only then will other things fall into place.
Mass adoption plays very important role in the success of digital currencies. The major reason behind this is not that people find it difficult to believe in crypto coins but that most of the people are still unaware of their existence. Obviously, we cannot explore what we have not even heard about. Anyway, things are getting better as digital assets are gaining fame gradually. It wont take long before bitcoin and altcoins will serve the purpose of currency.
