No wonder Bitcoin.com is a pro Bitcoincash (Roger Ver involved). BCH's price is shown before BTC's in every page of their site. Their ad of buying bitcoin too goes first to Bitcoincash. Their wallet has both bitcoin and bitcoincash and their exchange is going to be developed focused on Bitcoincash. They were just a news site and now have started their own multitude of services.
2282  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Possible reasons why PayPal dropped Facebook’s Libra membership on: October 06, 2019, 02:51:46 PM
The negative sentiments are not permanent. Everybody admits future is of crypto. IMO the prime reason of Paypal leaving Libra is due to the insignificant position of Paypal in such a large project. Paypal is a huge company and it doesn't want to be a backer when it can actually lead the market. Paypal has more experience on payments than Facebook does and it can easily create an alternative to Libra when it decides necessary.

There are multiple ways of earning altcoins and bitcoins. You can sure do traditional jobs for crypto but there are some easier crypto exclusive earning methods called bounties.
A good example is in my signature, a forum that pays you just for sharing your thoughts and participating in the conversation, exactly what you have done here for a small reward.
2284  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Libra the new crypto king on: October 06, 2019, 01:53:38 PM
Libra could have been a good boost to the crypto adoption around the world but the future of itself seems unpredictable.
One of the reasons for Libra having lower chances of getting the light is Facebook's dependency on the US. Europe has been pretty friendly towards human rights, privacy and crypto while US focus on tracking every moves to micromanage the population.
2285  Economy / Reputation / Re: crypto-bridge.org KYC scam ! on: October 06, 2019, 02:06:01 AM
The two times I've used crypto-bridge, both withdrawals were held and was solved only after starting a support ticket and waiting over 48 hours. I don't think crypto-bridge is actually a decentralized exchange.
Binance has no issues withdrawing under limit for non verified users while KUcoin is found to enforcing KYC for any users. There are many other exchanges that doesn't necessarily require KYC. So, it would be better to use an alternative and wait for if there's no other listing.

The related ponzis were Gain bitcoin and Cloud Miners. Hope the Koneix team would be able to help police return back the coins to the respective owners.

2287  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: REQUEST FOR GAS FEE TO GET PAID ARE SCAM. on: October 05, 2019, 03:51:43 PM
Anything and everything that asks you to pay at first are scams. If you are no completely sure about what you are doing, don't even send a penny to anyone. There are many fake airdrops that collects your emails, social profiles and access to different functions in your social profiles and some even dare to ask private keys from the unsuspecting users. If you need to participate in such airdrops, just create a dedicated email, wallet and social profiles for them.
2288  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Line messenger to invest in crypto on: October 05, 2019, 12:14:51 PM
The popular japanese messenger Line has decided to team up with two other companies and made a capital alliance agreement. The companies would create a fund which would invest on cryptocurrencies. One of the company in the agreement, Nomura holdings has already invested $14m in coinbase backed token.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/japanese-messenger-line-nomura-holdings-form-blockchain-alliance

Does the content involve only a cryptocurrency investment or a new project? This detail is very important. Will they invest in any blockchain-based project? I think if the official explanation comes, then we can be more specific

Line is actually involved in Crypto for a long time now. Japan and Japanese companies are positive about blockchain and crypto development and has been working to create a better environment. Line already has two exchanges, one bitbox.me and another is bitmax app exchange.
Link is a crypto project of Line that has dependent roadmap. The recent funding seems to exclusively cover investments.
2289  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Fee-less cryptocurrencies...Are they the future? on: October 05, 2019, 03:09:30 AM
Personally, I have found out that fee-less cryptocurrencies are extremely convenient for sending micropayments worldwide. Most of them are blazing-fast in transaction confirmation times, making them an attractive choice on top of Bitcoin or Ethereum. Cryptocurrencies such as EOS, Steem, and Nano have no fees at all, becoming a favorite among several crypto enthusiasts (like me).

However, it's yet to be seen whenever a fee-lees structure is a viable solution for the crypto economy. I mean, if there are no fees on the Blockchain, then how would delegates maintain their loyalty to fee-less cryptocurrencies? I believe that in order to maintain long-term stability, there needs to be an incentive via the collection of fees among the network's users.

Nonetheless, do you think that fee-less cryptocurrencies are the future of the crypto industry? Or are they simply a niche? Huh

There are no fee-less exchanges. Zero fee is a advertising gimmick. Most of the new exchanges go with this promotion. Even some of the old exchanges are providing no fee transaction on a selected number of coins. Some coins are truly feeless and some fees are funded by the exchange themselves but no exchange would sustain paying fees for every kind of coins listed. So, there would never be a fee less exchange.
2290  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are ICOs really DEAD or simply cleared a path for better projects? on: October 05, 2019, 03:06:41 AM
ICOs have morphed into IEO and the change is for good. The number of ICOs/IEOs too have dramatically decreased as investors have become more concerned about their investments. There are some shady exchanges that are listing IEOs with zero research and analysis just for a small fee but most of the people are now aware of such practice. Only the IEOs issued from a promising exchange are getting attraction while other are not fully funded. This is making the project team more dedicated to make their project look promising and actually working to prove their authenticity. It doesn't mean it would filter every scam but it would filter the most of them.
2291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice - A small mistake emptied my wallet. on: October 05, 2019, 01:57:56 AM
Similar thing happened to one of my friend. He reached 100M tokens in coinpot, That is valued at $10K playing the multiplier there. That was all of his coins converted into tokens. He was boasting about it the previous day and on the next day before cashing out he intended to make a small bet and as he plays in an iphone and the amount are just clickable buttons, he mistakenly clicked the 10M one and lost all.
He said he didn't slept for 2 days. I might have lost larger than that in total but never in a single day. That was a harsh one on him.
2292  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Why has not any government stopped Bitcoin? on: October 05, 2019, 12:52:22 AM
Governments have done enough to dissuade common people from using Bitcoin extensively. Being charged with operating unlicensed money changing businesses is a possibility if you engage in cash-bitcoin conversion.

Many of the government around the world would gladly stop bitcoin if they could. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency that's traded P2P. As everything happens on the internet and has no physical form and official value, there's nothing a government can do to stop it's transaction. They can make it difficult to buy bitcoin with cash, redeem bitcoin to cash and in some cases prohibit buying goods and services using bitcoin but they can never stop a P2P trade.
2293  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 6 ways to help you not be emotionally dominated when trading cryptocurrencies on: October 04, 2019, 11:41:19 PM
For me it is always good to have a plan and you should stick to your plan.
Know when to quit or cut loss and when to take your profit.
This is the problem most of the traders could agree on or most of us have experienced.
Most of us are too greedy to take the profit and thinks that it would continue to grow and it is the main reason why some lose their peofit and sometimes also their capital,
Same way to cut lose we often thinks that our investment or crypto would go up again and sometimes we would lost more because it would continue to drop.
Plans can be changed depending on the market condition that is why we have PLAN A, PLAN B, and soon.
Greediness is a thing that is commonly present to all of us and because of that we are forced to work hard but what a thing gives a negative impact. It is really hard to escape from this especially when we are already thinking about money and it getting more stronger.

You should make a set of basic rule and stick to it if you want to succeed in the trading. Jumping around according to market movement or how you feel about a coin would rarely earn you a profit. There should be specific points for you to buy or sell a coin. A simple formula could be selling on 20% profit and on 10% loss against your reference currency.
2294  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IKEA Accepts Ethereum tech! on: October 04, 2019, 11:28:41 PM

IKEA is a swedish company and makes almost anything. They have a wide range of product and a large service area. Integrating crypto in their payment would further their use.
As read the article, it's not just a payment completed with Ethereum. IKEA Iceland used smart contract on Ethereum to create a smart invoice. And actually paid with digital Krona.
It's the first time smart contract being used in such trade.
2295  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Litecoin price increase after successful halving of block reward., thoughts. on: October 04, 2019, 04:34:18 PM
Many community users might not be aware of this but Litecoin just successfully completed halving it's block reward at Block 168,000 to produce 12.5 LTC. Before now Litecoin was trading around $93 as the 5th largest trading cryptocurrenc based on Coinmarketcap's market capitalization statistics but currently it's trading at $102 and now the 4th largest trading coin. The question now is, do you think a major catalyst of Litecoin recent success is linked to bitcoin also experience a surge in price (since this has always been the usual from previous record) or this time, it was all due to Litecoin successful halving event?.

What's your thoughts and congratulations to litecoiners on a successful halving event, Bitcoin is up next.

It had been predicted and it happened. This would make another precedent for price increase on halving.
There were price increase on such halving of both bitcoin and litecoin in the past but people were suspicious this time following the long bearish market.
This would make Bitcoin an attractive investment as bitcoin is next going to halve in 2020 (most probably on May).

Here's the link to the news by CNN https://edition.cnn.com/2019/10/02/politics/putin-2020-us-presidential-election-joke-intl/index.html

Newbies are not allowed to post links in the forum.

This is all joke by Putin.
They accused Russia of bringing up fake news and provocative statement to make people vote for Trump. But in reality that's just democrats not being able to accept their defeat.
And whoever wins this time, another party is surly going to blame Russia. This is why the US is losing their credentials in the world. They are now blaming another country for their simple domestic problems.
2297  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The use of stable coins or no? on: October 04, 2019, 01:05:56 PM
On the other day, I think of the use of stable coins. I mean, when can we use Stable coins as an alternative fiat. You see when a bull run comes and everyone will start to sell their Bitcoins and some other coins into fiat the network will be congested.

So I think if we buy Stable coins with some stable volume, we will no longer need to worry about unable to sell our bitcoin into fiat.
Rather we only need to do this thing right? is this some acceptable alternative or no?



That's the specialty of stable coins. They save us from the hassle of converting our fiat to crypto and back. With stablecoin, you can easily convert your crypto coins to a fiat value within a few seconds and convert them to fiat at your ease or back back cryptocurrencies from it. They have become a great tool for day traders who makes their profit through fluctuation in prices of the coins.
2298  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: SC good to invest ? on: October 04, 2019, 09:40:58 AM
LOL, it's already 2019, Siacoin was good and has a lot of hype around 2017 wherein it was one of the coins that really took out together with the rest of the altcoins. So obviously, there's no more hype surrounding Siacoin and the price took a nosedive.

You also need to look at the circulating supply, although the project seems solid but I think investors are no longer interested. I can't give you financial advise because I might or completely wrong with this coin. But if I'm in your shoes just go for the top 10 altcoins today just to be on the safeside.

Yup. Siacoin missed it's shot. And there's nothing left here that could rejuvenate the project. The concept was good but the execution was poor.
There are demands for decentralized cloud and many projects working for it but none has been successful to create a promising working model and a business model.
Their coinbase partnership brought on some buzz but had no large effect on their price.
2299  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Paypal to leave Libra on: October 04, 2019, 05:46:45 AM
A financial times article reports Paypal is on the verge of leaving Libra project as a founding member.
Coindesk explains it https://www.coindesk.com/paypal-might-withdraw-from-libra-association

Would it be the precursor of termination of Libra before even launching. What are your thoughts on the future of Libra? Would it even see the light?

Enterprise are not the ones that would determine the future of Libra but governments. And as Facebook is a profit oriented company, it would in no way bring an independent crypto. The so called Libra would be closely controlled by Facebook and the US government want's it's part in it. If Zuckerberg be able to strike a deal with the US government, Facebook would hit the market.
2300  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best special events site? on: October 04, 2019, 03:39:06 AM
Last time your help was invaluable that's why I wanted to give me a try one more time.

The betting site with the best and the most substantive special events offer? Politics, entertainment, culture, etc.

And what's with the sites that control the market and keep informing about it in the best, day to day way? Something else besides oddshark, sports bedding dime or oddschecker? Maybe something better?

What do you think?

Bitmoose is a dedicated book for non sports events. You'll find most of the events you could think of there.
Fairlay covers the many of such special events as you can yourself add up such events to start a bet. Their odds are impressive but the only thing that keeps me away from that site is the disorganization. If you are okay with your IDs being asked, Intertops lets you deposit on bitcoin and bet on whether there would be snow on Christmas day.
