Not really. If price is stable ppl would actually put more trust to it primarily because the risk of your money dropping value, would be gone. In that case we can assume more merchants!
only based on unsustainable price fixing. i don't see that lasting too long! Grin

the prices on off-exchange/p2p markets and the non-colluding exchanges would just diverge from the fake prices. i think the market is smart enough to recognize which prices are real.

Oh wait. I wasn't basing it on anyone's idea, I just answered hypothetically Grin  I still stand by my opinion that I can't see it becoming stable.

Nevertheless, this just adds to one of the many loopholes op's idea has.
2322  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: coinbase locking coins for 15 days. What?? on: December 20, 2018, 04:55:42 PM
Hmm.. Is this a bank transfer? Funds needs to be cleared up from your bank account first before you can actually withdraw them.

Money left my bank account, where is my digital currency?
     
When initiating a bank transfer, you will see the funds pulled from your account immediately upon authorization. This is primarily so we can lock in your quoted price. Due to the irreversible nature of digital currency, we must also ensure that all funds have cleared prior to finalizing the transaction.

Depending on your bank, it may take one to two business days for the funds to flow between banks and enter our system. Additionally, It may take two to three business days to clear on our end. Once your funds have cleared in our system, we transfer your digital currency to your wallet immediately at the price that we initially locked in. 

It says 5 days there but some ppl are close to your time frame.

Do I really have to wait the full 12 days?

I've used tradeorge a good bit , my account was hacked on my end , and they refunded me my funds without a problem , and never had any problems with there services

Pffft. Why would they refund you if the hacking was your fault? If its true, they are basically giving money and that's not how you do business. I would never trust my money to ppl who doesn't carry their common sense 24/7.
2324  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do play this momentum? on: December 19, 2018, 01:25:27 PM

Oh I'm not betting it on a 10% price increase with nothing worth to hype about. Its just too soon and I don't wanna be hasty so I guess I'm also on team play safe for now. Just gonna watch the market and scream YES if there's a significant price increase.

The only use of that crypto left would be anonymous transactions which will be needed by a very few people on a daily basis and that crypto would loose all its popularity and I don't see a very long future for this kind of coin at all.

Not really. If price is stable ppl would actually put more trust to it primarily because the risk of your money dropping value, would be gone. In that case we can assume more merchants! Additionally bitcoin is easy to set-up, so it would be useful to countries where most ppl doesn't have bank accounts. Can't really see it having no future when it has an actual use.

If I prefer stability then I would prefer fiat over any investment because value of 1$ will always be 1$ so no need for me to let go of my money. Fiat is without any doubt the more stable than anything in the world.

Not always. Fiats are backed by governments so naturally, the value would drop if its backer falls into crisis.

Uhhh is bountyhive counted? They promote themselves here so you may have seen it but the campaigns (except sig and translation) takes place outside the forum, tho they announce it here.

Other than that, idk any but I'm pretty sure any other places is not as active as this forum. Most org's really won't bother if the site doesn't have a huge traffic and/or doesn't allow camps.
2327  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitmain promoting BitDeer is it scam or not? on: December 19, 2018, 02:35:38 AM
Nop. Its actually $.13 per TH so if you multiplied it by 30 ('cause the plan was 30 th/s) you'll get 3.9, and that will now be the maintenance fee for a single day. As you can see at the image below 30 days multiplied by 3.9 is equals to $117 which is the fee for entire month.



I say, don't bother 乁( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ °)ㄏ
2328  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What makes bitcoin a trending topic? Bitcoin in a nutshell. on: December 18, 2018, 03:30:11 PM
Welp there's that, but the hype in the last few years where bitcoin increased several folds was more of FOMO, bitcoin being treated as a medium for easy money or basically anything related to "profits". Its the reason why there are tons of ppl who still doesn't understand the basics, they didn't bother learning obviously.
2329  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Blockchain or crypto jobs for total newbs? on: December 18, 2018, 07:29:18 AM
Ehhhh lots of vague things.

Why not just tell us what degree you got and your past experiences (in detailed)? Most requires ppl to have a decent work experience on the position applied anyway 乁( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ °)ㄏ
Just please note that it must be verifiable.

Total newb in crypto-related jobs should be fine, even the big companies like binance don't require it, tho it would be a huge plus. If you mean total newb in cryptos, I'm not sure about that but it would be best to learn the fundamentals first 'cause either way it could never be wrong.
2330  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Could a coin price be locked in place? on: December 18, 2018, 04:29:04 AM
No, the exchanges don't set the price, it is the whole demand and supply that affects it, which they are not in control of. Now, if you want them to manipulate their own market, it still not enough since they can't force people to buy and not everyone would join knowing they can be sued for it.

I can't really see how bitcoin would be stable when nothing backs the price 乁( ͡ಠ ʖ̯ ͡ಠ)ㄏ. If ever it happens tho, I think it'll be easier for big companies to trust cryptocoins.
2331  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: what do people think of Lolli? on: December 17, 2018, 02:04:46 PM
ohh never heard of this one too! but I think I could list some pros and cons for you op

Cons:

A. I checked their whois information and site seems to be recycled judging from the creation date.
Creation Date: 1997-05-05T04:00:00Z

B. If you base it on their SNS, they seem to have started somewhere at march and june 2018 so thats pretty new.

C. permissions could be a trust issue (img below)


PROS

A. Professionally looking website

B. Been featured to some reputable media: [coindesk] [forbes] [techcrunch] [business insider]

C. CEO revealed his identity: https://twitter.com/alexadelman
2332  Economy / Speculation / Re: We must work together to crash the price of all coins on: December 16, 2018, 05:34:43 AM
Quote from: Paycheck
We need bad news.  We need negative press stories.  We need security flaws to be "discovered", even if they don't really exist.

And why do we need this?

To get the prices down so I can buy in cheap to several coins, and then let them ride to BIG PROFITS on the next market cycle upswing!

What a dumb mindset and ideas if you really meant it. You can really see that you are in no way a supporter and is only after the part where you "can earn"

You seem to be blinded by the idea that it will soar up high no matter what happens, let me tell you that its not. Too much price crash is really bad as it may take a long time for it recover or worse, may never be able to. Hell, a proven security flaw could lose almost everyone's trust. Even a misleading report about it regardless of whether its proven or not could still have a huge effect especially to non-bitcoin users 'cause a lot of them are close minded who doesn't even bother digging info before believing something.
2333  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Anyone here active on musing.io? on: December 16, 2018, 02:53:22 AM
The gibberish answers are definitely not upvoted, I've noticed that. They're actually pretty good at curating content, so good answers and questions will appear on top!

>definitely
> Roll Eyes

I still stand by my stance that its a mix of hit and miss. I spent 3 mins on the site and I already find one. The question is as simple as:
How do I get an actual bitcoin wallet and then how can I buy bitcoin with cash and then how can I buy some steems ?



As you can see the guy has a ton of spelling errors, ideas are all over the place and seems to be only suggesting the popular services. Funny thing is, his post got 244 upvotes which is apparently worth $94.

I didn't find the answer I want for the question but the other two after him did it better.
2334  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Anyone here active on musing.io? on: December 14, 2018, 02:36:32 PM
oohhh first time hearing this! There isn't much info about the system like a FAQ or something but I do think it's be a mix of hit and miss since money is involved.

While the revenue could bring more ppl (and potentially good posters too), it could also disrupt the credibility of the questions and answers made mainly because it is more used to earn money rather than its actual use, pretty sure you would see not-so-good answers garnering tons of upvotes  Undecided

Nevertheless, Voicing out opinions on topics you're interested in, is still a good past time. And hey, you could also save a reader when the ppl with most upvotes have gibberish answers.

Just a question tho, Is there a limit in the number of answers submitted per question? 'cause its very possible that it could reach 40+
2335  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dozens of bomb threats by ‘Bitcoin scammers’ hit several US states on: December 14, 2018, 03:42:42 AM
False Flag?

Yeahhh, seems like it. There's just no indicators that the threats are credible.

Here is an update:
https://www.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-scammers-are-sending-bomb-threat-emails-to-millions-worldwide-2018-12
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/13/bomb-threats-across-us-and-canada-demanding-bitcoin-payment-appear-to-be-hoax-authorities-say

And I checked some of the email threats. LMAO, whats up with the disclaimers at the end 🤣

If an explosion occured and the authorities notice this letter:
We arent the terrorist organization and dont assume any liability for explosions in other buildings.
2336  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Nasa $3000 na ang bitcoin, naniniwala ka bang mas bababa pa ito? on: December 13, 2018, 03:06:59 PM
Maaring bumaba pa sa $3K ang presyo pero yung maging zero? uhhhh malabong mangyari, siguro mga isang porsyento lang ang tyansa non.

Mangyayari lang yan kung: wala ng gumagamit at/or wala ng nagmimina nito. So i-try nating i-break down!

1. Bakit malabong mangyari na wala nang gumamit nito?

a). dahil may use or may gamit
b). marami nang may alam at marami na ring sumusuporta
c). walang power ang gobyerno (so bali ang kaya lang nilang i-ban ay yung mga services like exchanges etc.. hindi yung mismong bitcoin so parang torrent lang Wink )

2. Bakit malabong mangyari na wala nang magmina nito?

Applicable din yung a,b,c dito. Gusto ko lang idagdag na pag bumababa ang demand ng bitcoin at kumonti na lang ang mga nagmimina, bababa din ang hash rate nito. Ngayon kapag nangyari yon bababa din ang mining difficulty so mas mapapadali ang pagmimina. At syempre lahat ng mga oportunidad ay mainit sa mata.
2337  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bullrun will always come , Newbies do your research well on: December 13, 2018, 01:50:02 PM
Actually, Its more reasonable to think that pessimism will take over in a bearish market. Not to mention, most newbies are gullible, they are the ones who always rides the HYPE train and will prolly believe whatever it is, given that most ppl are doing it 乁( ͡ಠ ʖ̯ ͡ಠ)ㄏ

And last time I check, it isn't scientifically proven that history would always repeat itself. Everyone including you is just speculating, and most are based on something, pretty sure you're not the only one who base their stance on the past events.
2338  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I Really need help for my internship Survey on: December 13, 2018, 11:47:59 AM
I may be wrong, but normally surveys do not get many responses here, so you may end up short on your target number of minimum responses. I’ve contributed to it anyhow.

So true! The only surveys I know which did had lots of responses are those whose op offered a little incentive. But if op can't do that, I guess the best route is to post to as many communities as possible

Form submitted btw!
2339  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitinka Exchange do not withdraw money for 3 weeks on: December 13, 2018, 06:37:18 AM
They stolen a lot of money. Just check there facebook (can not add a screenshot pic there).

From the way it looks to me, the exchange is overlooking users who has withdrawal problems, hence you need something that will force them to accomodate you. You could try gathering a group of ppl who's willing to file a class action lawsuit, that way you guys can lessen the fees. And the team behind this exchange is not exactly unknown, so thats a good thing.
2340  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Hardware Wallet(Ledger) for BTC, LTC, DGB, KMD, XTZ, AION and ZILLA on: December 13, 2018, 05:55:57 AM
<snip>
Next year, we are going to make our wallet open source.

Fair enough and glad to hear that! but until it happens, I'm gonna stick to my opinion/stance on this.

MEW is only for ETH-assets, instead Magnum is a universal wallet where you can hold a lot of different assets. Of course, you can use Ledger platform, but in case you have assets which are not stored on Ledger what have you do?

Okay wait, I should have added more context. What I meant was, If I'm a ledger user, why would I use your platform instead theirs? or MEW for its supported assets.
