Yea REITs are great. Didn't invest yet but was thinking a lot about it. The problem is I think its not the best moment to invest in the majority of REITs. When whole Europe and USA is in recession (hidden under stimulus checks). Its not so easy to find something that will not be affected by panic sellers.
2262  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's going on with LTC ! on: April 11, 2021, 06:14:03 AM
why people still believe in LTC in today's market.

Because they filled their shitcoins bags and now are waiting for miracle. Deluded by Youtubers that you don't have a loss until you sell. You have 100% loss at the moment you buy ... you recover funds when you sell. Thats the correct way of investing.

Now back to LTC. Its growing because everything is growing. We are in the middle on bubble. In the middle of mania. People did 20x on BNB in 3 months, x30 on ENJ, x5 on BTC etc. People that had 10k $ in crypto have 1 mln$ now. They still have 0 knowledge about market and investing. They just were in good place at good time ONCE. Now they are looking for something that did not do x40 jet. Thanks to that even dead coins like litecoin are growing.

Litecoin was big when BTC was to expensive and there were no alternative. We have tones of alternatives now... and litecoin is were it was years ago.
2263  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: LOTTO is the next 100x altcoin. The premise is insane. on: April 11, 2021, 06:03:12 AM
It's a token that can alter your balance automatically when a built-in lottery function runs. Here's how it works:

On Tuesdays and Fridays at 8 PM EST, the startGame() function is called. This function pulls 5 LOTTO from all user balances, pools it together, and gives it all to one user at random. This means if you hold LOTTO in your wallet that you can check your wallet one day and see thousands of dollars worth of LOTTO just appear there. It's amazing, and the only token that does this.

Right now the jackpot is at 13450.50 LOTTO, which is $2421.09 at the current price on Uniswap. It's been getting bigger every week as the number of token holders goes up- just passed 2800 LOTTO holders 🔥🔥🔥

It's listed on Uniswap and just got listed on Whitebit, Hotbit, and Bilaxy. The market cap is around 3 million USD. I definitely recommend trying this token out, it's the most entertaining token you'll own.

Another token that exist only to spin tokens like in a washing machine, from one user to another, giving the illusory impression of adding value. Why is it another 100x? Its just gamble token. There are tons of online casinos where you can pick game and gamble as you like, without limitation (10 LOTTO out each week)
What else this token do? Nothing? This is "The premise is insane." ?

1- does CEX support this lottery? How this support looks like? Their wallets ballances is constantly going down so each user balance too?
2- 5 coins out (~1$) right into jackpot ... who paid 40$ eth fee here?
2264  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Free transactions: What's the catch? on: April 10, 2021, 08:59:18 AM
If a chain is more scalable, faster, cheaper ... you should know that the easiest way to achive this is to make it less decentralized. BSC, for instance has only 21 validators.

How are miners/validators incentivized in the long run?

If you have high enough block rewards you dont need to take fees. Fees are hidden into high inflation.

Free is misinformation. Fees are there but look like free because too low in $.
Thats right. But I am impress with the tron blockchain cause I tried to withdraw from Binance USDT before and literally no fee or payment that has been asked from clients. Even transaction with Tron and binance smart chain are low but this is due to the fact that their network can handle better than ethereum network congestion.

I use tron a lot (using trust wallet) and its not free. Its like 0.3-0.6$ per transaction. And here comes the biggest question. How majority of crypto exchanges manage to do it for free not charging even a small fee for node maintenance. I assume that Justin Sun had to do a decent deal with them. Something like - "we will mine your transaction for free + we will pay you for node maintenance just don't charge your users with fees. This will be expensive but pays out on long run by getting more and more tron lovers."
2265  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: A Must See Why Binance BNB is Stil SUPER Cheap on: April 10, 2021, 08:47:04 AM
Yea. 2017 is back again... YouTubers hype people into something that already did x20 in 3 months. Lets make people gamble their money...

Investing is extremely dangerous currently. Good moment to invest in BNB was that day. When I (internet random not YouTuber with 200k audience) did this topic (~19$ per coin):

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5208144.msg53299809#msg53299809

Now its time to slowly take profit. One price target after another. We may go another 10x ... we may crash 90%. If someone is new in crypto... I would suggest to skit this bubble and come back after 2-3 years and buy fear not greed.
2266  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Beginner looking at allgorithm trading on: April 10, 2021, 08:34:39 AM
Hi I am a working on a small project to auto trade crypto on the binance platform hopefully automatically. I was thinking of a simple vwap and EMA to start with for indicators. Currently I have hooked up the binance-node-api and was wondering how I could go about implementing vwap calculations following:

  • Find the average price the stock traded at over the first five-minute period of the day. To do this, add the high, low, and close, then divide by three. Multiply this by the volume for that period. Record the result in a spreadsheet, under column PV.
  • Divide PV by the volume for that period. This will give the VWAP value.
  • To maintain the VWAP value throughout the day, continue to add the PV value from each period to the prior values. Divide this total by total volume up to that point. To make this easier in a spreadsheet, create columns for cumulative PV and cumulative volume. Both these cumulative values are divided by each other to produce VWAP.

can this be done or am I looking at this wrong?


Should work. You can also use code that is already developed (especially if you want to use well known indicators). No need to invent wheel for a second time.

For example this:

Whats the punishmant in China for hiding bitcoin farm? I guess its prison. Why this guy decides to do so? Why not move this farm from China? I just don't get it. Why people that achived financial freedom are leaving in a country where thy have to hide, risking jail time.
2268  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or Altcoins? Which is best to invest $30,000 in? on: April 09, 2021, 01:10:31 PM
Please give advice.

A friend has $30,000 and is new to the crypto environment, he is looking to invest all in bitcoin or split the money among promising Altcoins or just one altcoin.

What do you have to tell my Friend, if you say he should split the money and invest in many altcoins, please make public the altcoins you think have a very promising future.

If he is new and is asking this type of question ... he will not be able to spot "promising Altcoins". There are like 10 promising altcoins out of 10 000 listed on coinmarketcap. Most likely will be scammed. I suggest to wait for a dip and buy bitcoin (the best advice for amateur would be to miss this bubble, wait for bear market, wait 2-3 years of bear market and buy that day)
2269  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase has thousands of complaints with D- rating on BBB on: April 09, 2021, 01:05:28 PM
I guess (like previous posted) that its black marketing. Just other exchanges spam negative comments. Coinbase is one of the most reputable crypto exchanges.

Some people also blame crypto exchanges for loses that they have from not understanding leverage, fees, simple math (percentage) etc.
2270  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CEOs will see it ... sooner or later on: April 09, 2021, 09:37:07 AM
One of the biggest bank that facilitated billions of dollars of dirty money, is trying to curb out and bans purchases on Microstategy by their clients?

They definetly play a dirty game. Most likely doing their best to help stop the bubble on Microstrategy - wonder how big their short position is. Hope its HSBC only not new trend.
2271  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CEOs will see it ... sooner or later on: April 09, 2021, 09:12:07 AM
Looks like each action is accompanied by a reaction. HSBC (Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation) bans new purchases of microstrategy. They allow only to hold and sell. They did id because of new policy on virtual currencies and products that referencing the performance of a virtual currencies. DAMN.

2272  Economy / Economics / Re: Texas Could Recognize Bitcoin As A Legal Currency on: April 08, 2021, 12:48:43 PM
Damn ... Am I the only person that is more disturbed than happy? Being a Legal Currency is completly differnt thing than being a token or collactables - full surveillance, restrictions on use (e.g. only from official wallets after switching KYC only to wallets that made KYC). I love bitcoin as it is now. Money for few people that wants to be free, abstraction for others rather than fully sanctioned money for everyone.
2273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's up with Tron (TRX)? on: April 08, 2021, 12:36:41 PM
The infamous smart contracts platform created by Justin Sun recently experienced a surge in price. Not long ago, TRX was well below $0.06 on the market. It's now the time where the coin is hovering well above $0.12 per coin. Am I missing something here? What could be the cause of the pump? Do you think TRX will retain these prices for long? Or will it all fade away in an instant? Is this a result of Justin Sun and whales manipulating the price of TRX?

Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Smiley

Everything is pumping now. Even Sued XRP did +90% pump in 2 days. Why not TRX? TRX is another cheap ETH alternative. I'm using crypto for payments, I receive crypto as payment. Everyone is slowly moving away from ETH. Either to TRX (for stable coin payments) or BSC (form smart contracts - mostly swaps). TRX is one of 10 most used chains, now they added TRC721. It deserves better place in CMC than 16.
2274  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Two months since Tesla BTC purchase. Corporate buying less than expected? on: April 08, 2021, 12:26:03 PM
They wait with announcment after BTC will push above 60k. Such announcment will have more publicity.

Also tesla announcment was so big because Tesla is so popular. Already 43 companies added bitcoin into balance sheet. - https://news.bitcoin.com/btc-balance-sheets-42-companies-hold-1-3-million-bitcoin-worth-more-than-65-billion/
I assume this number will go 10x by the end of 2021-2022.

2275  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Where to buy minimum amount of BNB ? on: April 08, 2021, 12:18:22 PM
I see you already moved your USDT. Case closed. Close this topic please.

For future. Buy 0.05 BNB (20$) on binance, withdraw to your wallet (Transaction Fee: 0.0005 BNB = 0.2$), send your USDT to binance together with leftovers from those 20$ (most likely 19.5$). Convert it all back to whatever you want.

Friends of mine are doing an ICO and need someone to help them with management of their PR / communication activities. Probably more someone to help out with the strategy, cocreating a concept and the rules, then someone to physically community manage on a telegram channel. Do you guys no anyone with good references who could help?

Move this topic here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=85.0
or here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=84.0

Because this topic does not relates to altcoins discussion.

I think there’s going to be a supply shortage shock soon. Institutions have probably been buying in secret OTC & just haven’t announced it yet. The peak of the bull run is nowhere near, we haven’t seen anything yet.

I agree.

1-
https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Bitcoin
This shows that we are currently at 50% of 2017 bubble hype and I guess this hype will be much bigger than 2017 was.

2-
Bitcoin moves linearly on a logarithmic chart. Right before every bubble end price accelerate even on logarithmic chart. Same we've seen during 2017. When bitcoin broke trend line (defined by tops) on logarithmic chart and started to go parabolic it jumped from 7k to 19k. This was the end. We are still in trend lines on logarithmic chart now.

3-
We need to see this first Smiley Real wolrd attention. Real word hype. Untill now only we, crypto lovers, are hyped.
Time will show. If i'm right we will see more and more announcments. Already 43 companies added bitcoin into balance sheet. - https://news.bitcoin.com/btc-balance-sheets-42-companies-hold-1-3-million-bitcoin-worth-more-than-65-billion/

2278  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CEOs will see it ... sooner or later on: April 04, 2021, 09:48:50 AM
I guess it boils down on how the CEO will view bitcoin, I mean there are still some old and traditional CEO's and doesn't want to put risk on a volatile asset. On the contrary, there could be visionary CEO's who likes to dab and touch or shall we shall experiments on bitcoin to hedge their balance sheet. So for now this is 50:50 and we will see how it will swing on our favor. Microstrategy though has started that trend and it could set precedence.

In my point of view it will not matter how they see bitcoin. Putting 1-5% of reserves into bitcoin will not affect company liquidity at all no matter how volatile bitcoin is. But it will open them to all "new era" investors (gamified investing). Robinhood investors, reddid trading groups, wall street bets etc.

Big companies will invest in bitcoin (smal portion os reserves) not to profit on bitcoin fundamentials but to gather bitcoin hype and get attention from "new era" investors.
2279  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Minimum Trading Volume for Leverage Trading of Altcoins? on: April 03, 2021, 02:45:53 PM
volatility always happens on low liquidity coin, name a low liquidity coin that does not have a big gap between buy and sell?

Gap between buy and sell is not called "volatility". Its called spread. There are coins with huge gap and low volatility (for example dead shitcoins), there are coins with huge short term volatility and 0 gap (for example during or right after pump).

Spread is the word you mean here not volatility ... but slippage is even better here - price impact from realizing order.
2280  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CEOs will see it ... sooner or later on: April 03, 2021, 02:08:44 PM
If you invest in bad time and lose 50-70% of your investment, shareholders would react to this very negatively. It won't ruin the company, but it will damage its reputation.

If Coca-Cola will invest 1-5% of its reserves into bitcoin in bad moment loosing 50% of it (0.5% of reserves). Will it domage its reputation? No one will ever buy coca-cola? No one will even buy coca-cola shares?

Coca-cola will announce it. Bitcoin will pump 20% thanks to coca cola announcment. Coca-cola will pump 10% thanks announcment and btc pump. Everyone will be hapy in short term. In long term no one will remember. CEOs will profit on front running bitcoin pump, CEOs will profit on shares pump.

And their stock will fall when this bubble will burst, or even if they will just start taking profit. And if they will refuse to take profit and just HODL, their stock might fall even harder. Microstrategy bought Bitcoin in good time, but the deeper we are into this bull run, the riskier it is to buy Bitcoin.

Its long-term thinking. CEOs doing buybacks does not think long-term. At least with this decision. Investing in better technology, improving efficency, expansion into new markets / countries naaah lets pump our stock price.

This would create a massive bubble that would end very poorly for most participants.

99% people lose on market. 1% profit. This will never change.
