2321  Economy / Economics / Re: JUST IN: Chinese Central Bank to Launch Digital Currency Called "DCEP" on: October 29, 2019, 06:19:16 AM
I just can’t understand. Previously, there was information that the People's Bank of China, using commercial banks, plans to launch the CBDC national stable coin, which has also been developed for about five years. Is it the same coin or not? Apparently, we are talking about the same stable coin, but for some reason with a different name.
2322  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency usage will boost economy or make it worst ? on: October 28, 2019, 05:36:06 AM
What if all those big corporates and businesses starts using crypto as a mode of payment just to avoid tax which will cause a direct loss to the government which uses tax for the betterment of the country. This might not affect corrupt countries as it doesn't matter because tax money goes to politician's coffers but what about developed nations?
Firstly, large corporations and generally all business structures are unlikely to use cryptocurrencies with a high level of price volatility. A particularly decentralized cryptocurrency is not suitable for those business structures that use transactions that are long in time from the moment of agreement to the completion of the transaction. If during this time the cryptocurrency price changes, one of the parties will suffer losses. Roulette is not a business game.

Secondly, we must pay taxes on activities in cryptocurrency. Only with this approach will states legalize cryptocurrency and create infrastructure for its development.

Also, cryptocurrency should go in parallel with national money and integrate into a single financial system. Only in this case will it benefit the state economy and will contribute to its development.
2323  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Harsh Reality About The Current ICO Project on: October 28, 2019, 05:16:25 AM
After the ICO, projects need to change the approach to the work of their tokens. Investors need to be interested in holding tokens. Now everything is actually built for a quick sale, while the price of the token has not yet completely fallen. I mean the provision of passive income or at least a mandatory redemption by the team of their tokens at some average or minimum price. Investors should have at least some guarantee of return on investment. Then the token will not depreciate so quickly.
2324  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Asia can be the biggest crypto market on: October 28, 2019, 05:02:41 AM
The population of Asia is very actively interested in cryptocurrency. Many cryptocurrency exchanges are concentrated there now, the volume of cryptocurrency trading in this region is growing rapidly. Therefore, Asia has actually become one of the leaders in introducing cryptocurrency into our global financial system. China is also moving slowly in this direction. Although they are looking for their own path to cryptocurrency, however, this large state cannot do without integration with the rest of the world.
2325  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin cross $50,000 by Dec 2020? on: October 27, 2019, 10:41:59 AM
With so many good altcoins around, do you think Bitcoin can cross $50k by Dec 2020?
In my opinion, Bitcoin will not cross the price of $ 50,000, not only in a year, by December 2020, but also in five years. Not only do I see no reason for such growth, I do not think that any cryptocurrency should, in principle, have such a high price. And the owners of Bitcoin themselves will not allow it to grow freely to such price values. They will bring down the price by selling their bitcoins.
2326  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are You Concerned On Sudden Rise of Bitcoin? on: October 27, 2019, 10:20:46 AM
Worried about disturbing and negative events. The growth of bitcoin in the price causes a logical interest about the possible reasons for such growth. But we don’t see any obvious reasons. A statement by the Chinese president to support blockchain technology cannot be a real reason for the rise in the price of bitcoin, since the Chinese government has previously fully recognized this technology and widely implemented it in practice.
However, it is important that the price of bitcoin began to rise. Let Bitcoin continue to rise in price for no apparent reason.
2327  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What needs to happen in order for bitcoin to replace gold on: October 27, 2019, 08:43:36 AM
Bitcoin was not created in order to replace gold with itself and does not have such an opportunity for this. These are completely different, with almost incomparable financial assets. I do not even consider bitcoin as digital gold. It is also not suitable as a means of preserving value, since it has very high price volatility. And he will never grow in price forever.
2328  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 5 Reasons McAfee’s $2 Million Bitcoin Prediction May Not Be So Crazy on: October 24, 2019, 04:35:32 AM
Never in your life time you will see that $1,000,000. We haven't even recovered from our all-time high and you still expect to reach $1,000,000 just because of those. The most realistic scenario that I could see is $10,000 or $15,000. That will be a good recovery price from the all-time high and not $1,000,000. Let's be real here, he just wants a reason to eat his dick in a national television.
In my opinion, John McAfee has already overshadowed his previous forecast for the price of bitcoin at one million dollars. Now is he talking about two million? It is safe to say that bitcoin will never cost either two million or one million dollars. It will be a very big event if he ever can briefly rise to $ 50,000. And then this is not very believed. However, the coming years will show where cryptocurrency is going in relation to its prices.
2329  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-08-31] Bitcoin bank accounts now available to European citizens on: October 24, 2019, 04:23:05 AM
I do not see the real convenience of providing such a banking service. As I understand it, besides the fact that we will pay a commission for bitcoin transactions, will you still have to pay the bank one percent of the transfer amount? It turns out a bit too much. In addition, with such a bank account with a built-in bitcoin wallet, we will be constantly under the supervision of the bank and the government. Something is not very attractive to such a bank account. I don’t know, maybe in some life situations the presence of such a bank account will be beneficial, let's see how people will react to this.
2330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Impact of Bitcoin growing Dominance on the Crypto space on: October 23, 2019, 04:55:42 AM
Btc dominance has overshadowed all other alts without a doubt, and from the look of things it seems this will continue for sometime, it seems as if the demand for btc keeps increasing as new investors put in money in the market, people trust their investment on btc than other alts hence the continue dominance.
Honestly, I do not like the tough price dominance of bitcoin in the cryptocurrency market. Of course, there are many useless altcoins on the market, but I would prefer that each of them develop without such dominance. Now, even the best altcoin projects have been in a price decline for almost two years due to bitcoin. Because of this, many began to lose their general interest in cryptocurrency. I think that the price dominance of bitcoin will not last long anyway. The cryptocurrency market will find a way to harmonize the relations of its participants.
2331  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen after cryptocurrency on: October 23, 2019, 04:35:41 AM
Money changed its shape through the history. As from non-monetary exchange to the need of having money. Fast forward to our current banknotes which are in my opinion slowly dying with bitcoin taking over. Many discussions are being held if bitcoin can be the primary currency in the world. Let's assume it can be. Everything has an end so what do you think will come after bitcoin? What will money look like hundreds of years from now? I predict its gonna be digital of course but I'm interested if its going to be a cryptocurrency or something else.
I see no signs that with the advent of bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, in general, paper money shows any signs of its disappearance. In my opinion, cryptocurrency will not revolutionize financial relations, as many assume. Of course, the influence of cryptocurrency, especially with the growing interest in it of ordinary users, is huge. However, cryptocurrency will occupy only its niche among other means of payment and will go along with the national money of states. There are many prospects for its use when combined with other types of means of payment, however, bitcoin or other cryptocurrency will not be able to replace the traditional payment systems or become dominant among them.
2332  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC, why do some people just get it, others really don't? on: October 23, 2019, 04:20:02 AM
The attitude to cryptocurrency largely depends on the first experience with cryptocurrency. If the result was positive, then the attitude towards it will be appropriate in the future. Also, such an attitude will largely depend on the degree of help from others, if a beginner in cryptocurrency has certain problems. Many sometimes face technical difficulties and, not knowing how to solve them, simply leave the cryptocurrency.
2333  Economy / Economics / Re: Private Coins from banks and governments on: October 22, 2019, 06:27:46 PM
Coins of states and their governments can hardly be called private. They are created on behalf of the state as national coins. Such coins in most cases are created as stable coins and in fact are the same currencies, only in digitized form. Such coins are likely to be in demand.
At the same time, most tokens can be called private, since they are often created for a private business.
A cryptocurrency of states similar to the CBDC Chinese coin will continue to appear. This is inevitable and there is nothing we can do about it. Yes, and is it worth it?
2334  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ukraine President a pro-cryto president on: October 22, 2019, 06:01:24 PM
I think that this time in Ukraine they quickly legalize cryptocurrency. The president and parliament work harmoniously and efficiently. However, it will nevertheless take some time to get to this law, because several thousand bills are waiting for consideration. It should also be borne in mind that several good bills have already been submitted to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and each of them can be taken as a basis.
So far, President Zelensky has lived up to the expectation of the people, although there are mistakes that an inexperienced politician will surely have.
2335  Economy / Economics / Re: What are the odds that the government/banks will truly create their own coin? on: October 21, 2019, 05:09:35 AM
This is already happening through the creation by states of their stable coins. Now this is clearly seen in connection with the creation by the Chinese government of its own stable coin CBDC, which is actually a digital yuan.
Although these coins are completely different from a decentralized cryptocurrency, they can have a significant impact on it, since people can use stable coins more as a means of payment. This will have both positive and negative sides. Cryptocurrency continues to evolve.
2336  Economy / Economics / Re: Current Market state on: October 21, 2019, 04:39:09 AM
For a long time, the cryptocurrency market has practically stood still and this is not characteristic of such a market. Especially in the fourth quarter of the year, when usually at this time cryptocurrency traditionally grows in value. True, in the last two years, the market is more in stagnation or decline, especially for altcoins. This year, bitcoin showed a good price increase only in the second quarter, increasing almost four times, however, altcoins reacted very weakly to this growth of bitcoin and this was quite unusual for the cryptocurrency market.
Now we still expect a significant increase in the price of cryptocurrency, however, this market has recently been giving us some surprises.
2337  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stable coin - a threat to the international monetary system and bitcoin on: October 21, 2019, 04:21:27 AM
This is the latest report of the G7 countries working group and the Bank for International Settlements regarding stable coins and bitcoins. In general, for the first time I see such a negative assessment regarding stable coins, including bitcoins. It seems that banks are concerned about the increasing role of stable coins in financial relations. Most likely, this is just the subjective opinion of the members of this group.
2338  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrencies Pose Risks to Banks, Warns Basel Committee on: October 20, 2019, 06:27:30 PM
At the same time, the European Central Bank announced the results of its research, in which it acknowledged that the cryptocurrency does not have any serious impact on the global financial system. It is not only about negative influence, but about any influence in general. This only indicates from which side they approach the consideration of this question and that these are rather subjective opinions. Cryptocurrency is still too short to conclude whether it will have a significant impact on the international financial system.
Over time, the valuation of decentralized cryptocurrencies by governments and banks will change, and possibly not for the better. So, recently in a recent report, G7 countries and the Bank for International Settlements announced that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not a safe investment and a reliable repository of value. While there is nothing dangerous for cryptocurrency, however, nothing good is also here. You should probably expect that the legalization of a decentralized cryptocurrency will slow down again or will not be fast enough.
2339  Economy / Economics / Re: Limited Supplies Lead To Death (SIMULATION) Satoshi Help. on: October 20, 2019, 06:08:33 PM
Sorry I been up for 24hours and my thoughts are just off the top of my head. The stuff I am talking about is in the middle of the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=494ki3Dz9pM
I'm sorry but you're getting it wrong, the way I see it, Bitcoin is not really limited like people think. Every single day there are lots of people buying and selling Bitcoin and it's never going to stop. And when the demand for it gets high the price will as well be high, which means that it reduces the amount that people are able to purchase with a particular amount. If you can buy 1 btc with $1 and there happens to be a high demand, then 1 btc will start selling at $2 and that means that you will no longer be able to get up to 1 btc with that amount and will have to opt for 0.5 btc. You see?
Apparently, it meant that 21 million bitcoins will be mined, but over time, in fact, their number will decrease due to natural decline. Already today, more than six million bitcoins from the extracted 18 million have been irretrievably lost. Over time, the number of lost bitcoins will increase. Therefore, over time, the number of working bitcoins will decrease and the time will come when there will be very few of them.
Of course, given the fact that Bitcoin is planned to be mined before 2140, these will not be our problems.
2340  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Bitcoin is not that good as currency? on: October 20, 2019, 05:18:57 PM
For me the reality is Bitcoin cannot be a currency just for the fact that people using it are after the gains ,having profit as a top reason.
But i guess that is just for now ,Bitcoin will undergo phases to be accepted as a currency in the future.
Now Bitcoin is used primarily as a means of accumulating value, since in general it increases in value every year. To a large extent, this is why it is very poorly used as a means of payment. What happens if bitcoin stops growing in price? I often ask myself this question. In my opinion, if this happens, the demand for it will drop sharply, and therefore the price for it will fall. Will it ever be used consistently as a means of payment? There are also many questions and insoluble problems.
At the same time, cryptocurrency as a whole is rapidly developing and improving. Its circulation in the future together with the usual currency is already undeniable.
