2301  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: WCX Exchange Looks Like a Scam on: November 05, 2017, 02:36:10 AM
Is there anyone who is registered for the beta-version?

I registered for the beta and was accepted.  I put in some BTC to trade fee free for testing purposes.  I bought XRP with the BTC as the exchange is only allowing ETH, BTC, and XRP trading.  Since that purchase, every transaction I withdraw my XRP to my wallet, fails.  They disappear.  The 2FA doesn't work properly, I approve via email and had no action.  So I did the stupid thing and approved the email message again, then I see in WCX that I approved 54 XRP twice to go to my wallet, but nothing.  Submitted a case and guess who responded, Pierre (seen his name mentioned in this thread before.  He said he helped to process the withdrawal to my wallet, but never got anything.  I've since tried again to a different wallet opened with coinpayments and never received any of the coins.  I am unsure of what to do at this point.  I have some BTC left in the exchange and 500+XRP sitting there, but I can get nothing out and afraid to keep trying to a zero balance.  Any suggestions? I'm guessing it's a loss and nothing I can do about it.

That sounds awful. Do you know if the problem is technical on their side, or something more serious?
2302  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Future of DogeCoin on: November 05, 2017, 02:32:51 AM
The doge coin price is now low level,with time it can increase in future.

Low doge was at 18 sat whan btc price was around 1000$ and there is around 18 sat now whan btc prce is at 7000$,doge is stable and is gaining to dollar ,if btc correct there is always chance for doge pump

The price in dollars has certainly increased.

Looking at the doge/bitcoin chart, it looks like Doge is in the accumulation stage that precedes a pump.
2303  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Prices Still Firmly Above $7000, Without China on: November 05, 2017, 02:28:49 AM
Think about all the bitcoins held by Chinese because they can't sell them. Choking off supply has always been the most effective way to pump a coin.

Those are mainly coins held by miners, and they can easily sell by doing under the counter deals with various exchanges. Chinese can still travel, so a quick trip to Korea or Hong Kong is easy and the deal can be conducted there.
2304  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin already more than 7200. When to wait for correction? on: November 05, 2017, 12:20:01 AM
Some time in the next week. What I think will happen is that some whales will cash out at the top, and then invest in some alts, and pump them up to get more bitcoin.

Some advice: don't short the market at the moment because the bull is strong and you will get crushed. Wait for natural longs to close and natural sells from those who have reached their target price.  
2305  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it time to Buy Alts & Hold??? on: November 04, 2017, 03:04:48 PM
Ats are indeed very cheap at the moment, and it's worth accumulating a few for when the pump happens (and it will) after the fork.

I suspect that the pump might actually happen BEFORE the fork - people have to weigh up the value of the free coins compared to perhaps getting much more money by getting in on an alt pump early.
2306  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin already more than 7200. When to wait for correction? on: November 04, 2017, 12:50:04 PM
Its under $7200 at teh moment and seems to be bouncing between $7000 and $7200.

At some point people will take profits and try to get in at a lower price. Though the free coin brigade might try to hold on. I notice all the alts are in gree today, so I'm guessing people took profits at $7400 yesterday and are now pumping alts.
2307  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which alts after fork on: November 03, 2017, 05:47:00 PM
Look at the top 20 by market cap. Any that are down over 50% from their top might rise again.

And I'm pretty sure the rise will start BEFORE the fork as the smart money gets in while everyone is waiting for their free coins which might be worthless (or at least worth less than getting in early on the alts). 
2308  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When the alts will up....? on: November 03, 2017, 04:07:59 PM
Lots of people have sold alts for bitcoin because they want their "free coins" after the fork.

The fork is on Nov 16th, so I guess alts will start rising again after that point. (Though some smart money may get into the alts before that, especially if they reason the value of the free coins is less than the value of getting some alts cheap before a massive pump)
2309  Economy / Speculation / Re: [Bearish] The Dangerous Reason Why Bitcoin Just Hit Yet Another New High on: November 03, 2017, 03:41:33 PM
I think people forget that with futures, you can SHORT the price as well as go long.

So many speculators are assuming that if bitcoin is traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange the price will go up - but it could easily be an opportunity for those bankers who hate bitcoin to short the life out of it.
2310  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What are other forums for discussing bitcoin? on: November 03, 2017, 02:35:24 PM


I would have to avoid reddit because it is a proven "filter" of information.They have much censorship there

There is more than one subreddit devoted to bitcoin and cryptocurrency, and the best thing to do is read them all to get a rounded view:

For bitcoin trading try

https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/

For Eth trading try

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/

For bitcoin try

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/

and

https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/

And for cryptocurrency in general try

2311  Economy / Speculation / Re: What and Why Bitcoin Price Reached $7,000 on: November 03, 2017, 01:36:43 PM
What you need to understand is that news does't cause pumps - the pumps are simply timed to coincide with news so that people don't think it's odd and they can rationalise in their minds why the coin is pumping.

Most of teh action is on Bitfinex, using tethers to buy (and tethers arn't real US dollars, they're just another crappy alt) - so there is a bit of fakery going on. Be careful out there people.
2312  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Digibyte ! DGB Will boom by end of year on: November 01, 2017, 05:36:57 PM
Digibyte pumped massively earlier in the year because they enabled segwit before anyone else did, before even litecoin or bitcoin.

But nobody uses it, so it's hard to see where the price action will come from.
2313  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is DogeCoin even worth buying? on: November 01, 2017, 04:13:39 PM
I see a large amount of sell orders for DogeCoin, and from the looks of the Bear charts, DogeCoin looks like a dying currency. If I was looking for a "long-term" currency, DogeCoin is the one I would avoid...?  Huh

Interested to hear the community's thoughts on this?

doge is a great way to move value between exchanges that charge fees not needed for the miners.  No exchange needs to charge 0.0015 like say yobit to w/d BTC, so if i need to move money out of there , screw yobit im buying doge and w/d doge for a few coins Cheesy
Doge is merge mined so it will go down sometimes naturally, but it always has a nice pump once or twice a year if you check the historical charts

True - and it's also popular with gambling sites, because people don't mind risking their doge.

You know who else it's popular with - the pump teams. It goes through an accumulation phase when it is below 20 sats, and then pumps. Sometimes the pump is huge. other times it only from 20 sats to about 28 sats, for a 40% gain.
2314  Economy / Speculation / Re: Technical Analysis: Bitcoin Pops Again, Hits $6400 as Altcoins Go Nowhere on: November 01, 2017, 03:25:22 PM
https://www.coindesk.com/understanding-segwit2x-bitcoins-next-fork-might-different/
Bitcoin already touched the new ath again, i think that article might give an effect to the speculators about the next fork of the bitcoin doesn't mean free money just like bitcoin gold.
I predict the price of bitcoin goes down later, another correction will be appearing soon. More people are hype in free money.

And from that article.

"Competitors are gaining because of bitcoin's inaction. They believe protocols other than bitcoin have continued to gain traction because they're useful for payments; those protocols are currently capturing value that otherwise would have been bitcoin's.
Existing upgrades aren't enough. They say the addition of code to the blockchain in August hasn't brought about the capacity increases promised."

Isn't it interesting that Bitpay, one of the loudest S2X fans, hasn't bothered to do the slightest thing with Segwit first before going all in on a potentially ruinous hard fork?

And Bitcoin is wiping the floor with those oh so threatening alts at the moment.

Bitpay has indicated that it might enable functionality for bitcoincash and other alts if segwit2x doesn't materialise. So they will cope with the backlogs and fees by allowing users to bypass bitcoin and enable alts.

Interestingly, Overstock earlier this year enabled payment by alts as well, but had to go through shapeshift to do it as bitpay didn't have an alt option. That seems to have given bitpay a kick up the backside into considering alts at last. Because otherwise the business just goes through someone else.
2315  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin back above $6k on: November 01, 2017, 01:55:02 PM
Yeah I’m very excited about the bitcoin now a days. It has crossed the boundaries of any valuable asset in the stock exchange or in the solid market. I mean look at the volume of bitcoin investment, it is growing each day and there is no stopping of it. Im so happy that I kept y bitcoin which I bought at the rate of 3K USD and now look at the price chart its almost double which is my 2 fold profit of first investment.


If this continues then me and many of us will become rich personalities in no time. Lol. I mean juts holding 10-20 coins can make us billionaire and you will see the more hikes at the time of fork that is to be launched in November.



You can only be rich if there is someone willing to buy your coins at an inflated value.

Bitcoin has pumped too fast - it was $1000 in jan and is now around $6500. Yet the number of transactions per day has only grown from about 250,000 to 300,000. Something doesn't add up.
2316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happen for people who does not support Segwit2X? on: November 01, 2017, 11:23:33 AM
according to : https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitmex-exchange-joins-segwit2x-opposition-confirms-zero-support

Bitmex stated they will not support Segwit2X even if the chain has the major hashrate.

In this case what would happen with Bitmex? they will be using the old Bitcoin chain?

It depends on whether the old chain is even viable. Unlike bitcoincash, there is no EDA to move the difficulty down quickly, so it might just get stuck where people can't send anything. If that is the case, it will die.
2317  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [DOGE] Dogecoin looks ready for a little gamble on: November 01, 2017, 11:05:42 AM
I just put a  little  money in that coin, the chart looks like it follows to the perfection the infamous "Wall Street cheat sheet".

Just compare and think what could happen around next summer?

Anyone in?

 Wink

I don't know about next summer, but it seems to have been in accumulation phase since Oct 21st. At some point it will break out, and even if it just goes to 25 sats, that's a 47% gain from where it is now.
2318  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin Segwit 2 Profit day? on: November 01, 2017, 10:29:49 AM
This time round it is unlikely there will be two chains. One chain will die because at the time of the fork the difficulty is high, but there will be no adjustment.

My advice is to keep your ETH - the price is depressed at the moment and is likely to rise after the fork when people take bitcoin profits and look for undervalued coins.
2319  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bittrex Verification Problem on: November 01, 2017, 09:53:07 AM
I had submit customer support ticket for this matter & just 2 hours back they had mark my support ticket as RESOLVED..

Support ticket now mark as RESOLVED but still account status is unverified..

Can this process take time ?? What will happen next ?

Raise another ticket and explain the name discrepancy the way you did on this thread, so they are aware of exactly what is going on.
2320  Economy / Speculation / Re: Amazon, MicroSoft ,Apple, etc on: November 01, 2017, 09:44:19 AM
Another way of looking a things

Amazon sells us depreciating crapplastic

Microsoft sell every one a word processor and and os to connect it to a printer and run the printer

Apple sells us something nice to listen to out music on and hold to look at the internet on.

Satoshi gives us an entire financial system, government in code, records repository, financial sovereignty, powers of the state.

Take a step back and consider the orders of magnitude of the value proposition as against what most are familiar with.

It's a good part of the combined sum of sovereign wealth, which makes the whole .com boom look like a rounding error.



Only if there is mass adoption and use of bitcoin as a financial system etc etc.

If it's just used for speculative trading in a pozi fashion, it's literally useless.
