what would you do if a newbie said he could develop your money and he asked you to invest money in him ?
It’s not a good idea to trust a newbie. And not all the newbies you see here are newbies, some of them are guys who have been around for long and has different accounts on bitcointalk.org. And why would a newbie be telling you to invest your money in their hands, that seems suspicious and I can never be stupid to do such. I can’t even give my money to someone who has reached the legend rank in the forum, not to talk of a newbie.
2222  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency Volatility: Creeping Evil or Essence of Crypto on: November 16, 2018, 05:42:33 AM
Cryptocurrencies has only made it in to the mainstream media as an apparatus from the dark web when the infamous Silk Road has been turn off. Back then, that was far from getting considered a good investment decision for Wall Street types, nonetheless they soon joined the party.

Suddenly, banks, the thought front-runners of banking and financial institutions all had an opinion on Bitcoin - many of them thought it was a gimmick, or even rat toxic and far too unstable to take seriously, but conversations about Bitcoin were getting to be held in investment circles.

Stories of Bitcoin billionaires in addition to overnight millionaires cropped upwards, plus the individual investors overloaded to be a part of typically the massive wave of Bitcoin mania. This is why volatility was so crucial in establishing cryptocurrencies as a potential asset that will could also be used being a currency in a well-known society. However, this same volatility is additionally what could kill that goal.
A portion of what has cemented cryptocurrencies on the map given that they exploded into the public investor market has already been their volatility. Investors inundated to the likes of Bitcoin when, through Nov and December 2018, the value of the cryptocurrency increased in value tremendously. Conversely, such precariousness is a two-edged rapier, and the cryptocurrency bazaar has shown that in 2018 with Bitcoin’s price trailing more than 50 percent at times from the year finale worth of $13,000. The cryptocurrency market has also felt the ill effects of Bitcoin’s movements because of this of the price drops, Bitcoin’s trading volume, and even interest in the digital money realm also decreases. The danger is that changes can cause a significant exodus of investors to take place which severely dents the hopes of other cryptocurrencies gaining mass adoption standing.

Itai Cohen, CEO of Homelend says,
Quote
“The high volatility of crypto-assets is the result of investors’ reliance on the so called ‘adoption syndrome’ - where the perception of an asset’s value is mostly based on expectations about its adoption by the community.”

Volatility should be at the epicenter of attraction for crypto if there is to end up being a future through which crypto is employed widely in everyday instances. However, it needs a lot of bravery, plus some tactical know-how, to successfully navigate the lows, to retain oneself safe, and sane, along with contributing positively to be able to a burgeoning crypto overall economy.

Patience is the key here to deal with anything that is related to crypto and blockchain. A calm mind will always get maximum output. Cheers.



Bitcoin is not evil. It’s just like saying that money is evil, while it is not, it can only be the root of evil because some people are ready to anything just to get money. So you’re actually the one being evil and not Bitcoin. Bitcoin is just there for you to use it for whatever you wish, whether you want to use it for good or bad, that’s your concern. I’m very sure that a lot of us here are using it for good and not for bad.
2223  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you use cryptocurrencies in your daily life? Are they useful? on: November 16, 2018, 05:12:43 AM
This and other questions are part of a questionnaire that we, a research team from the University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL) are doing. It seeks to understand the drivers' usage of cryptocurrencies by the end user such as you and me. Considering 10 different dimensions, from perceived usefulness to privacy to profitability, among others.
It takes on average 3 minutes to answer.

Here is the link for the questionnaire:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cryptocurrencies_usage

More details if you want to know more about it:
For this, it was created a questionnaire with Likert type scale questions. These dimensions will then be used to construct a model, based on the traditional Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) developed in 1989, and some others developed afterwards, but with more adapted to the cryptocurrencies ecosystem. Then it will be done some data analysis and compilation of results.
This questionnaire has some focus on the financial area, but this does not mean it is the most important. We know there are some other dimensions not being addresses in this questionnaire, such as decentralisation/government influence, that may be addressed in the future.
After analysing and publishing the thesis and papers I will post on this forum with infographics and the most important conclusions of the study.

There are no open questions, but you can post here or message me about this.

Thank you for your time! Best Regards,
The University Institute of Lisbon research team

I do use it, but it’s not that helpful cause you wouldn’t see people accepting it where I live. I have a group I work with and we make use of Bitcoin to send and receive money among ourselves, but when I receive I will usually sell it to an exchanger and have cash paid into my bank account. Sometimes I do leave the Bitcoin in my wallet, maybe to grow and sometimes fall, depending on the direction the market is moving. One thing I like about it is that it is really fast and cheap for transactions.
2224  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Amazon accepting Bitcoin - What can go wrong? on: November 15, 2018, 07:11:43 AM
I see a lot of people pushing for companies like Amazon to accept Bitcoin as a payment option. Have we considered the

implications of these decisions? Let's say we cannot scale to "service" the need for millions of new people who would use

this technology for the first time. What a big embarrassment would it be, if people waited 13 hours for their transactions to

be confirmed. Doing this now will hurt Bitcoin more than any other "bad" thing that has happened to it before.

We need to wait for the perfect scaling solution to address this problem, before Amazon or any other big retailer starts to

accept Bitcoin as a payment option. The Lightning Network might get us close, but it is not a proven technology yet.

Let's hear your thoughts on this?  Huh Huh
I know a lot of people will side for Amazon to accept Bitcoin but I’m not in support of that. It doesn’t sound like a good idea to me for the e-commerce giant (Amazon) to accept Bitcoin.

First of all, Bitcoin is volatile and they are not sure of the future regulation of Bitcoin. Another thing will be difficulty in processing returns, so Bitcoin is not good idea for Amazon to accept. It’s best that people buy gift cards, there are lots of sites that can sell Amazon gift cards to you which you buy with Bitcoin.
2225  Economy / Speculation / Re: How news influence the market. on: November 15, 2018, 06:16:38 AM
Actually news doesn't influence the market much. Investors and traders are very careful now. Everyone's waiting for huger movements in crypto, for regulators decisions.

There is not much news about the crypto currencies spreading in these days because the market looks stable for too long in crypto market terms so the investors are just settled with the current situation of the market,only there will be changes if the bull run begins or else the market will stay at these level in the coming year also in my opinion.
I do think the news can influence this market a lot a lot of us here do read the news, I myself reads the news on cryptocurrency almost everyday to know what’s up and when I see a bad news about any coin I do hake actions, though not immediately, I will first do research to know what other sites are saying about that coin and also check the coin’s community, if people are also saying the same then I withdraw and wait till everything is fine and I can get back in. So news do influence the market.
2226  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Does hitbtc tell people when it's about to delist or remove market? on: November 15, 2018, 05:09:51 AM
KBR is removed from market. To me it's sudden.

All other exchange usually tell in front if a coin is about delisted.

Why not hitbtc?
They must have given a warning, maybe you didn’t see it. Several exchanges I have used never remove any coin without informing their participants in the market. They will usually send out emails and give you time to make plans on what to do.

Few days before they remove you will also get another warning if you haven’t done anything, they don’t just remove coins without giving notice to people. So you missed the notice or you didn’t see it.
2227  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Learning day trading on: November 14, 2018, 06:11:55 AM
How are people learning how to day trade? What are you methods?

Personally I've done the signal groups etc but found them very hit and miss. I'm not good enough to do my own TA (and can TA really help for day trading - no idea?).

Only method I've found that I find works was taught here: https://discord.gg/nCmjwmQ

It focuses on getting in and out of v.high volume coins as they naturally fluctuate.

Cheers!
If you are not good at analysis then you may not be successful in the crypto trading for longer run so you should either learn it or better leave and joining on the bump and dump groups are just worthless sometime you are in need to pay for getting into those groups.
Yes, anyone that wants to be a trader in cryptocurrency must learn the analysis. Some will say the market is unstable and they are afraid that they will lose money when they invest in it, but there are people who are able to get in and out of the market few hours a day and they are also making it despite the volatility. I heard a story of someone who didn’t even learn it and all he was doing at first was buy when it seems it’s going up and sell when it seems to go down and it worked quite alright for him till he got to be perfect.
2228  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it the best time to buy cheaper crypto while Bitcoin is at high price? on: November 14, 2018, 05:38:17 AM
So many crypto currencies are coming UP . They are much cheaper  than Bitcoin for now. It is so hard to decide  which to buy . Some are in good promos, to buy or invest to it while it is cheaper and sell when the price Will getting high. Is it a good idea to buy while we can not afford yet Bitcoin?
As it is now, I don’t think that Bitcoin is still at a high price, don’t be surprised if it doesn’t drop any further. But this time is still a good time for buying altcoins since they are all cheap right now, coins like Ripple, Litecoin, Stellar which is trending, Ethereum which is cheap now, Dash coin and a lot of them in the market. Now is probably the best time to start buying as much as you can if you’re planning on holding for a long-term.

In this business you will have to give what you have to be able to benefit from it, and when I mean what you have I mean MONEY & TIME. Some people will usually confuse others by telling them that Bitcoin is free money but that’s a lie, Bitcoin is not a free money. Faucets do give out some few Satoshis for free but they are not enough and you won’t make up to $1 from it in a month.
2230  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do You Need To Put Your Emotion in Trading ? on: November 13, 2018, 06:01:30 AM
The easiest way of loosing everything you have is to trade with emotions. Emotions is not going to help you in anyway at all. Trading with emotions means you will be stuck with one particular coin and will find it hard to sell. You feel it will come out good soon but that's wrong. Don't ever apply emotions when trading.
There are some things in life that require emotion, but as far as I am concerned, trading is not one of them. In fact, when it comes to trading, this is one you should be having the heart of bot (considering that bots have no heart). When it comes to trading, applying emotion is something that will really jeopardize your account, put you into the path of more mistakes and before you know it, you just simply end up getting frustrated. Strategy and knowledge is all you need when it comes to trading and anything outside that, you are just going to end up flopping really bad.
2231  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Idea: How to increase bitcoin demand on: November 13, 2018, 05:28:56 AM
I believe much more marketing campaign, much more bulk ownership, as well as bodily method of all of them requesting when they take bitcoin or even any kind of crypto foreign currency can help.
I have read today somewhere on those forum that till now only seven million bitcoin are deployed in market and only this short number is being used throughout the world. We all know total of twenty one or two million bitcoin we have so if you are focused to increase demand, make sure more people get to know about it. More it be promoted, more you would increase the demand.
2232  Economy / Economics / Re: First licensed crypto-BANK! on: November 13, 2018, 04:57:57 AM
The conventional banks are restricted by so many regulations it is practically impossible to engage in crpto banking. Therefore the idea of crypto banking is a good one. It will be focused and not encumbered with that much regulations as the conventional banks.
Well it is far more relief to invest and use the crypto side rather than using the bank. I do agree and detain this fact that banks have been exploiting all the costumers who use the services in the form of many hidden charges. In addition, they restrict you to use all the features and you might need to pay additional charge for having the benefits of that particular service. So in my opinion, since nothing like this exists in the crypto, it is far better to use crypto than Banks.
2233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I am sure Bitcoin Will go $50,000 End of this year because of ETF! on: November 10, 2018, 07:12:27 AM
it is possible. but most of experienced people expect etf to affect bitcoin price on 2019. but anyway it is still not a big deal because sooner or later bitcoin is going to start climbing up fast.
Up till now, I had no signs of seeing a revival in the crypto currencies and was of the view that the market would stay dormant like it has been since the start of the ear but now, when the ETF is going to effect Bitcoin and rise its value, I am way too optimistic about the future and hope to see Bitcoin rising higher and higher in the end of the year. Though I still have an element of doubt in my mind as to how can Bitcoin rise so high in mater of days but let’s see what comes ahead.
2234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: When are we going to see an era like 2017 again? on: November 10, 2018, 06:27:44 AM
We will never see it, bit we will see something new. Past is the past. Dont look back. Concentrate on opportunitites...
One of the best opportunities right now is the availability of the great potential coins in the market at a much lower cost than before. In past-talking about 2017- these coin had had a great value and today it is very down so suppose you invest now and get the value raised again to the previous value, it will be an addition of big profit to your existing worth. Better stay hopeful because we might witness again a good boom market.
2235  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin won't grow fast as it was in 2017 on: November 10, 2018, 05:47:31 AM
Bitcoin in 2018 has many factors that hinder growth. now the bitcoin movement is still unable to run stably and well. so I think it's a natural thing why bitcoin can't grow to the maximum like 2017
I can still go fast but not just today. The market is favorable to invest and give back when the factors that affect the market goes parallel to the market. The inflow of investments also push the market up and the spread in the investors' circle is something that has always been of prime importance. So it is not an impossibility for Bitcoin that it will grow faster than the way it did back in 2017.
2236  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Discussion: Crypto backed by gold, what else? on: November 10, 2018, 05:07:35 AM
Found this the other day, they are also bringing in real estate aspect http://www.chellecoin.com

So, you can invest in real estate on their platform, as I can understand? My main question is, what happens when there's going to be next housing market crash? These projects can go sour real fast then, no, yes? I feel like yes..

Whatever you want to invest in, whether it is gold backed crypto or real estate backed crypto, the most important thing is to be sure you are actually sure you are investing in the right team that can deliver, as a lot of them are just popping up just to collect money from investors but basically have no zeal to do anything regarding development on the project in the long term. As long as you are satisfied with the team, their business solution and what they are after, then you can possibly invest based on that trust.
2237  Economy / Speculation / Re: How news influence the market. on: November 09, 2018, 06:15:53 AM
Friends, how do you find out fake news? Do you think he impact of this news  hinders the development of the market greatly, or the rates fluctuate only on major hype and fakes do not prevent the market from going forward?
Fake bad news do affect the market, but not the fake good ones lol. What I’m trying to say is this—whenever there is a bad news about Bitcoin, the type that threatens everyone, you will see that a lot of people will quickly pull out their money and the price will drop. But when there is fake news that says something good about Bitcoin to hype people, still the price won’t grow lol, rather it will even drop a bit more.
2238  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why trading is unhealthy? on: November 09, 2018, 05:45:11 AM
I still trade but not as much as I used to. Now I practice a lot i dont want learn new things i want to practice what i learn
Actually to be honest, trading is not unhealthy when we have a good market. It is only so when the market is down and you do not get to trade your coins at the price you expect them. This is the reason why not all the people trade in the bearish market. We have to look for some other profitable investments as well that can give back returns. In addition, investing in coins gone low is also nice way to maximize the future profit margin.
2239  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which coin best for holding on: November 09, 2018, 05:06:10 AM
I made a lot of profits from Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Neo, Nxt, and others. Which coin do you think will good for hold in a few months from now?
My wish is Bitcoin, Ethereum, Neo, EOS, KuCoin Shares is best for holding for a long term period.

You just have written all those which are best to hold.  I also have earned a lot from bitcoin, ethereum and Neo.  I just want sgare about some good coin to hold. We can hold XRP,AION,Dash,ETC. Hope those coin will give a healthy profit in near future.
I think the best coin is any coin that is capable of giving back the return an investor quest for. Come what may, an investors will not invest in a coin with low or no return in future.

Besides when you do the research about the good coins in the market, you will pint out some coins with mice market and enticing profits. I believe Bitcoin, ETH and Litecoin can make you enjoy the business as the best coins. In addition, I see huge potential in the traditional business as well.
2240  Economy / Economics / Re: 2018 the year of correction? on: November 08, 2018, 06:50:32 AM
The year 2018 is seen by most investors as the year of correction and there was a lot of expectation from the year to me but the year does not seem to go well pertaining to that for me. There is more expectation from how the market is trending.
I do not hesitate to agree with you but this year of correction does not mean that the next year would be ought-rightly a year of high prices or profits. This is rather a down year and the economic activities along most part of the year have been low as well. Though it is normally expected of Bitcoin to give back instant profit but this time it might take time to revive again and only after the revival, we can have a market that will replicate the invested amount.
