241  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I am just Dumping all my altcoins! on: December 29, 2018, 05:26:26 AM
Well I have no more patience in holding it so I decided to dump all the altcoins listed in an exchange in a low price. I have been accepting already that I loss already in investing those altcoins. Because we are now in the peak season of the year 2018 and cryptocurrency market seem nothing to have gone good and I have also some needs to meet for the holidays so I sold all the altcoins. I will just check later on if cryptocurrency will going to be back at its normal market.
Selling Altcoins now, when they cost almost nothing, it's stupid. The cryptocurrency market will still recover and rise. Here you need to have great patience. Only those who are not in a hurry to sell their cryptocurrency will win in the end. However, everyone can do what he thinks is most beneficial.

There are always risks in business and if you want to make BIG gains then you'll have to take BIG risks too. In last few months, Bitcoin hasn't moved much up or down after the January's hype and dump. So I don't think engaging in Bitcoin puts us at any risk.
The risk of investing and even holding Bitcoin becomes higher as its price rises. We have already seen this in the example of 2017-2018. At the same time, it should be said that predictions about too high Bitcoin prices are becoming unrealistic. Bitcoin holders will no longer watch the next time bitcoin will rise to $ 20,000. If this happens, then this time the majority will already sell it to lock in their profits. At the same time, the price of Bitcoin, according to the law of the market, will inevitably fall. Therefore, Bitcoin is unlikely to ever reach a price of more than $ 50,000.
243  Economy / Speculation / Re: YOU ARE ALL STUPID - SELL NOW on: December 29, 2018, 04:51:27 AM
someone should remember this topic when bitcoin reaches 20k lol
Sometimes it is interesting to see the old topics who and how predicted at the price of cryptocurrency and how well these predictions justified themselves. Yes, we have to admit that these both forecasts - that Bitcoin will rise in price to $ 20,000 and that it is necessary to sell our cryptocurrency, because there will be a sharp drop in price, turned out to be true. And the majority did not agree that bitcoin could soon fall in price. I hope they are smarter now. We all learn from our mistakes. This is a good lesson and a clear example of the fact that Bitcoin is unlikely to ever be able to rise by more than 50,000 dollars.
244  Economy / Economics / Re: What would happen to banks? on: December 28, 2018, 06:15:18 PM
When bitcoin become good investment for investor who have much money, I think bank is have more important way to get and make deposit with bitcoin investment. We have and need bank for getting our withdrawal and deposit money to bitcoin account.
I think bank will always be there just there way of trading will change. In the future banks will have to accept and trade in cryptocurrency; otherwise they will have to shut their door forever. Cryptocurrency is mandatory for their survival and they would never let their business crash. Banks play a vital role in our society and provide financial services to its customers.
Banks would continue to exist even if they refused to accept blockchain technology and use cryptocurrency. Banks, and first of all state banks, are part of the state and carry out various specific functions in servicing the state and its economy. Therefore, the state will always protect the existence of banks with all available means.
However, the banks themselves will use and already apply the blockchain technology, and above all this can be seen in the example of the ripple coin, and will also, at a minimum, provide fiat cryptocurrency exchange services.
245  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Will the legalization of cryptocurrency helps to come out of the global economic on: December 28, 2018, 05:59:13 PM
Legalizing cryptocurrency is necessary without giving up the use of traditional money. Otherwise, it will provoke outbreaks of economic crisis, which in scale will be close to the collapse of the US economy in 2008. In this case, the rules governing the action of cryptocurrency should be the same for all countries, so that there are no difficulties in using digital coins in the territory of another state.
So far, the first attempts to legalize digital money occurred in Japan. There, Bitcoin and other crypto coins were not equated to the traditional currency, but were officially allowed to pay for their purchases and services.
Of course, the legalization of cryptocurrency by the states will take place without giving up their national money. No state will ever give up their national money. This would indeed be a great folly and would have unpredictable consequences for the economy of this country.
However, the rules for regulating cryptocurrency in each state will be their own. Here, no one has the right to specify how to do this or that state. Regulation of financial relations in its territory is an indispensable personal right of any state.
246  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Who owns Bitcoin? on: December 28, 2018, 05:44:10 PM
Bitcoin is invented by Satoshi Nakamoto but it is common knowledge that his identity is not known.If there arise any dispute related to bitcoin or its ownership,how would it be settled by court of law or in other words who is the legal owner of bitcoin?
There is no need to confuse the concept of ownership of the invention of bitcoin and ownership of a certain number of bitcoins.
Nobody has a patent for the invention of Bitcoin, so we can assume that no one has a legal owner for this invention.
Ownership of a specific number of bitcoins can be in any natural or legal person. If the states legalize cryptocurrency, everyone can prove in court the legality of obtaining bitcoins, and therefore the right of ownership to them, which includes three rights - ownership, use and disposal.
247  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum will overtake Bitcoin on: December 25, 2018, 07:29:51 AM
In the following year ETH will overwtake BTC as the number 1 cryptocurrency. I would dump your bitcoin while despite everything you can.  Undecided
Ethereum can outrun Bitcoin and become the leader of cryptocurrency not by increasing its price and capitalization level, but due to the fact that Bitcoin will decrease in its popularity and price. Will this happen soon? Unlikely, but not impossible. Now bitcoin is very low in popularity and it is not yet known how this can be completed.
248  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Open your eyes! on: December 25, 2018, 07:18:56 AM
Don't you feel like once the bitcoin price goes up, the main holders will be the banks and large financial institutions?
No, I do not think so. For banks and large financial institutions, cryptocurrency is too risky. However, if this happens, then I do not think that we should be afraid of this. If they own a cryptocurrency, then they will take measures to develop it. To strive to have an cryptocurrency of one kind is meaningless, because in that case it will lose all value. And the manipulation of the cryptocurrency market will be anyway. If you know the basic rules of the game in cryptocurrency, then such a manipulation will not be terrible for us.
249  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The day will surely come Banks soon accept Bitcoin on: December 25, 2018, 07:02:29 AM
banks accepting bitcoin is not such a great news though! it can even be a terrible news if you ask me. because if banks start accepting bitcoin, open bitcoin "accounts" and things like that, it may encourage people to start using banks instead of avoiding them and having their own bitcoin wallet. and that is terrible because they would be going back to the centralization that were trying to get rid of.
In my opinion, the use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency by banks will mainly consist in services for exchanging cryptocurrency for fiat and vice versa. And then, this will happen only when the states legalize cryptocurrency and banks receive detailed instructions on the use of cryptocurrency.
I see no reason why banks open a cryptocurrency account. It will be very risky to give out loans in banks for cryptocurrency. In any case, I think that state banks will not do this. Commercial banks may risk, but this service is unlikely to be widespread.
250  Economy / Economics / Re: Please, we should not totally eliminate fiat currency on: December 24, 2018, 08:06:54 AM
From what I have seen so far in this forum and other crypto platforms, most of us want fiat eliminated. But let us not forget that there are still situations whereby we can't use crypto except fiat like in rural places without computers or even internet facilities.
I think that the existence of fiat worry not worth it. He will never disappear. In any case, as long as states exist, their cash money will exist. They can only get a better form, but the essence will remain the same. In order for the ordinary national money of states to disappear, an official decision of these states is needed. And they will never give up the use of their national money in favor of decentralized cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency, in contrast to the national money, has nothing to do with the economy of any state.
251  Economy / Economics / Re: Bulls are Retarded on: December 24, 2018, 07:58:24 AM
In general, I agree with your statement. Bitcoin, most likely, will never rise in price to one hundred thousand dollars. This is just unreal. We see what happened to the market when Bitcoin rose only to $ 20,000. The cryptocurrency market is in decline for a whole year. And the holders of cryptocurrency will get smarter. They will no longer believe in the constant growth of Bitcoin in the price and as soon as it starts to rise sharply in price, they will drop some of their Bitcoins. Thus, his course will go down. The cryptocurrency market will become more mature and will not allow such high price spikes.
252  Economy / Economics / Re: A cryptocurrency with volatility can't be used as money on: December 24, 2018, 07:44:37 AM
The high price volatility of cryptocurrency is a significant obstacle to the legalization of cryptocurrency by states. Perhaps with this in mind, Bitcoin is also not widely used as a means of payment in business structures. Many commercial enterprises that initially switched to settlements in the cryptocurrency, then began to abandon it, including because of the high price volatility of the decentralized cryptocurrency. Perhaps, in this connection, Bitcoin will be mainly used among individuals, as well as for making very large transactions involving legal entities.
253  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: End of ethereum? on: December 23, 2018, 05:58:46 AM
With ethereum, nothing bad has happened and will not happen. This is still one of the most promising coins among all cryptocurrencies. Its price falls against the background of a general fall in the cryptocurrency market, obeying the price dominance of Bitcoin. Over the past week, Bitcoin showed good growth results, from about $ 3,500 to today's $ 4,050. In this regard, ethereum has risen from $ 95 to 128 today.
We expect that next month the planned improvements will be implemented in this coin and then it should increase significantly in price.
254  Economy / Economics / Re: Taxes and regulations on: December 23, 2018, 05:49:45 AM
Today I was on a conference in Vilnius and went on a lecture about cryptocurrencies. I would like to share some aspects which I did't see so clear before. As we know, among those states which want to regulate cryptos, there are those which consider them as property and others as means of payment. The first approach is usually seen when there are tax companies around, because money is not taxed, but possession is. So when a state days they consider cryptos as property, it means they are getting taxed, while this is not the case with means of payment.
What do you think of this?
In whatever official status the cryptocurrency does not remain, the states will still, if they wish, establish a tax on the use of cryptocurrency and the receipt of profit from it. We know that cryptocurrency is recognized in Japan as a means of payment. However, the government there has set a fairly high level of tax and is now going to soften it.
255  Economy / Economics / Re: What are the odds that the government/banks will truly create their own coin? on: December 23, 2018, 05:39:11 AM
We've all seen this phrase before: that the government and/or banks will more likely to create their own cryptocurrency, but what are the odds that they really will? How can we be sure that these two sectors will create their own coins eventually and will it even change the game if they do? If they did, will it not threaten bitcoins and altcoins because the common people who haven't heard of bitcoin before might choose to use these bank/government-created coins instead? Do we really need more coins?
Over time, governments will certainly create their own centralized cryptocurrency. Recently there was news that the central banks of 15 states, including China, Canada, Sweden, decided to release their own cryptocurrency. If we are confident in the advantages of decentralized cryptocurrency, then we have nothing to fear. Let them create, experiment. I see nothing wrong with that. Centralized coins will only attract people's attention to cryptocurrency in general and increase its confidence in it. Indeed, in this case, the state itself will create and use a cryptocurrency.
256  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin a "private" currency? on: December 22, 2018, 03:32:55 PM

I think it is wrong to call bitcoin a "private" currency.

On the contrary, imo bitcoin is much more of a public currency that any national currency is.

Purely legally, the words "private currency" does not apply to Bitcoin and other decentralized cryptocurrency. Bitcoin does not belong to any individual. However, bypassing Bitcoin, I think, may eventually be called a private currency because, as it seems to me, it will be used primarily by individuals. It is unlikely that the states, their bodies and business structures will widely use bitcoin in their activities due to its high price volatility.
257  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do we Need Central Banks? on: December 22, 2018, 03:24:46 PM
If someone does not need central banks, he may not use their services. However, central banks will exist, as each state needs them. Central banks perform their specific functions. These are the development of a common monetary policy, an explanation to the country's banks of the procedure for regulating emerging issues of a general financial nature, maintaining the course of national money, financial support for the implementation of the country's budget, and many others. Therefore, whether we like it or not, central banks will exist as long as states exist.
258  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-12-20]Central Banks of 15 Diverse Countries are Ready to Embrace Cryptocur on: December 22, 2018, 03:11:18 PM
Even the fact that these 15 states want to create their own centralized cryptocurrencies, that is, in fact, their national money in the digital shell, is vseravno good news. At the same time, people will be interested in decentralized cryptocurrency, because they will see that their states are also switching to its use.
In this list, I was especially surprised by China. There is still a very specific approach to cryptocurrency.
259  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hacking kills the cryptocurrency market on: December 21, 2018, 06:37:29 PM
Hacking our wallets, as well as on the stock exchange is indeed one of the biggest obstacles to the development of cryptocurrency. For various scammers, this is a good way to get rich at someone else's expense. The amount of fraud over time will only increase, since it is a good way for scammers to get more money.
However, this proves that the cryptocurrency is not as safe as many believe. These are our realities and this should be taken into account.
260  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Why up to 80% bounty campaign extend the deadline? on: December 21, 2018, 06:13:34 PM
Hi there! I participating in several bounty campaign. In 4 out of 5 campaign deadline was extended. In one be extend for a month, in another - for 2, in a third - for an indefinite period. Say please, this is normal or it is attribute of scam?
Thank!
Now, indeed, many bounty hunters are faced with the problem of extending the duration of an ICO. In most cases, this indicates that the ICO team cannot even collect the minimum amount of money for its project and thus tries to get out of this situation. This does not directly indicate that these ICO projects are fraudulent. The extension of the ICO has become widespread this year, during a period of stagnation of the market and a fall in investor activity.
