wait and see, average up/down, good chance to find projects that stand out
and most importantly "have fun!". Build apps, try apps and services, don't get too caught up with the price action!

You can follow the countdown to the hard fork upgrade at https://coingecko.com/en/explain/ethereum_constantinople_hard_fork
223  Economy / Speculation / Re: How to BUY BITCOIN at the "right" price on: January 08, 2019, 03:28:10 PM
There are many investment nuggets you can use to buy Bitcoin at the "right" price
- Average up and down, you can't time the market
- Take some profit, you can't time the market
- The best time to invest was yesterday, the 2nd best time is today

Good luck, happy trading!
224  Economy / Service Discussion / Thailand grants licenses to 4 crypto exchanges on: January 08, 2019, 03:14:36 PM
Just read this news that Thailand's Ministry of Finance has granted licenses to 4 crypto exchanges:

Seems like growth will be strong in Thailand after this.
225  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is technical analysis vital? on: January 07, 2019, 04:33:43 PM
I've seen newcomers using technical analysis and ended up on the losing end.

If you are day trading, technical analysis is a good tool to have.
But be careful and only when you truly understand it. High volume exchange is best to deploy it when possible.
226  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum hardfork - what you need to know! on: January 06, 2019, 01:57:57 PM
The hardfork is named the "Ethereum Constantinople Hard Fork"
It will happen in approximately 10 days at block #7,080,000 , we built a countdown timer on our site which you can follow while browsing around https://www.coingecko.com/en  Wink

The changes to the network are of the following:-
EIP 145: Bitwise shifting instructions in EVM. Reduce gas usage, cheaper gas fees
EIP 1014: Skinny CREATE2.
EIP 1052: EXTCODEHASH Opcode. This will optimize large scale code execution on the blockchain.
EIP 1283: Net gas metering for SSTORE without dirty maps (replaces 1087). Cheaper gas fees.
EIP 1234: Constantinople Difficulty Bomb Delay and Block Reward Adjustment. This is going to cause mining reward to drop.

Also, because its a hard fork, new coins may be spun out of this. Some known possible hard forks are Classic Vision and Nowa.

Most major exchanges already express support for the ETH Constantinople hardfork.
227  Economy / Economics / Re: Tokenization of real-world assets on: January 06, 2019, 01:07:36 PM
Tokenization of real world assets is going to be challenging for the following reasons
1. Requires trust to some extend as there is still some ownership (in the real world) that is tied to a token
2. Requires recognition from all parties (the public, the court, government, entities, etc.) for arbitration reason
3. The blockchain platform needs to be stable which at this moment still early days due to constant development

It would be more interesting to see more experiments in the digital world being created utilizing blockchain rather than a straight up tokenization of real world assets. At least let the experiment run first until the tech is ready.

If you recall, it is not digital newspaper that took off on the internet; there might be new use cases that will be unlocked.
228  Economy / Economics / Re: Will BTC defeated in 2019? on: January 04, 2019, 05:12:18 PM
Bitcoin has historical stability and proven itself over the other altcoins.

Plus it has a head start in terms of network effect. Everyone knows what a bitcoin is and almost all crypto are traded against bitcoin.

It would be a tall order for bitcoin to be offseated

230  Economy / Economics / Re: HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT BULL RUN 2019 on: January 04, 2019, 04:16:27 PM
Diversify diversify diversify!
This is one sure way to protect your portfolio at all times.
You are a crypto investor, unless you 100% sure with what you are doing, do hold some traditional assets as a hedge.

Hold cash or stablecoins (reliable one) to prepare to enter the market when opportunity allows.

Crypto is volatile now, as it may erode your portfolio in an uncertain bear market. Hence, the importance of diversification.

234  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which is better option for trading Bitcoin or stocks ? on: January 03, 2019, 03:59:41 PM
Stocks have matured and the fundamental aspects used to assess a good stock is quite clear.
There are some facts to look at such as PE ratio, NAV, leadership, financial statements etc..

As for crypto, the fundamentals that we know of so far are metrics like on chain stats, developer activity, team, social community popularity, which are yet to be proven or correlated with return rates.
Nonetheless it's a good place to start on a research
235  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Private blockchains solution? on: January 03, 2019, 03:52:49 PM
Private blockchains that most enterprises are adopting is mainly a database with an integrity check and a protocol layer for those that needs write or read access to the database.

Most people wont directly see the benefit of this if its adopted. More of a backend streamlined.
236  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Lightning Network Discussion Thread on: January 03, 2019, 03:26:18 PM
The problem I've seen so far with Lightning is that the nodes and wallets need to be online in order to send and receive funds.

Less intuitively than a bitcoin transaction where I can access it at a later time as long as its sent to the address.

Hopefully there are some thoughts to this. Tools to ensure uptime of the node is a good starting point.
237  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin Over? on: January 03, 2019, 03:18:20 PM
It is surely much bigger than that. Bitcoin introduced the idea of a peer to peer money and store of value.
The idea of a decentralization system has been kickstart and it is up to us to see if it's a technology we can wield and make use of.

It is not over, it is only getting started
238  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH and BTC bottom 2019 on: January 03, 2019, 11:22:51 AM
Bitcoin has been around for 10 years today. Surely people have understood the value of a decentralized money system, otherwise we would not come to this.
As for where it will go from now. Will be new capital flowing in as they see more potential for a decentralized money, and a decentralize enabled when it comes to ethereum
239  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you keep your crypto informations securely? on: January 03, 2019, 03:18:29 AM
Your Keys, Your Coin; Not your keys, not your coins.

In fact, today (Jan 3 2019), there's an exercise going on called the "Proof-of-Key day" exercise. Where for 1 day, every participant withdraws all their Bitcoins from every trading/custodial account into address(es) they personally hold.

You can read more about this on this well-written post on Medium (https://medium.com/@eljuangalt/proof-of-keys-intentional-crypto-bank-run-4-step-survival-guide-4422b7c0e0d8)
240  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The world is going digital on: January 03, 2019, 03:10:59 AM
Addressing OP's sentiment. There's actually a highly known website (https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/) that tracks all the times Bitcoin has been declared "dead". So far the kill count stands at 339. It's surprising it's not higher.

Bitcoin is "unusable" up till the day it is. Just like automobiles in the 1900s before horse-drawn carriages die.
