241  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [10-13-2018] Is 2018 a waste if if bitcoin prices don’t recover? on: October 21, 2018, 03:09:51 AM
If bitcoin price don't recover then we just wait patiently. Those who feels 2018 is a waste is because they have massive losses and they want to recover that as sooner as possible. I think we should at least grateful that bitcoin had a great support at $6k value which means that it's next bull run would be higher than $20k.
242  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-09-29] Mobile Payment Market May Hit $4.6 Trillion by 2023 on: October 17, 2018, 07:16:45 AM
This just shows that bitcoin is really destined to be future currency of the whole world. There's a lot of payment platforms online but a lot of them don't support transferring to each other so bitcoin would become very handy. I just hope mobile theft will have heavy penalties so this method of paying will not be discouraged.

One of the people who allegedly defrauded a Finnish investor of $24 Million worth of Bitcoin (BTC), has recently been detained in Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok on charges of conspiracy to defraud and money laundering. Has anyone been following this at all? I would be interested to hear a legal perspective, as these charges aren't generally associated with bitcoin


$24 million is just small compared to what happened in Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines. There's a lot of these cases that happened recently and in the past. People should really be aware on what bitcoin is because even the banks in our country are strict and they not let you open an account if they heard that your source of income is from crypto.
244  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-10-10]Mischief-Maker Promises to Livestream a 51% Altcoin Attack on: October 17, 2018, 06:44:12 AM
Was the hacker successful in his attack? There was no news about it, maybe he wasn't hehe. But this certainly will be the beginning of a new kind of FUD for cryptocoins that have low hashrate.

It might also be the beginning of competing low hashrate coins attacking each other.

He was banned from all the video platforms he tried to do Live. But he said he attacked BTCP and got + 70%. Maybe next time more people will pay attention.

He said he attacked bitcoin private, but how do we certainly know that he was the hacker?

Also, what are his motives for announcing that he would attack a cryptocoin? Is he a member of the development team of a competing project?

This will be a new kind of FUD that will be used more as already mentioned.


I only have two possible reasons I can think of. One is he is not a fan of crypto and he wants the crypto community to show on how easy it is to penetrate their security and scare them or the second one, is that he just wants the each altcoins' team behind it to make a strong layers of security to prevent attacks.
245  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Is Russia is on the way to adopt cryptocurrencies? on: October 09, 2018, 02:51:29 AM
I believe so because there are so many ICOs where the team are consists of Russian devs. They are in the same level of USA when it comes to supporting the blockchain. Putin also discussing the regulations and it might takes some time but I know that the decision will be in favor of it.
246  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-10-03] Bitcoin Price Manipulated by Cryptocurrency Trading Bots: WSJ on: October 09, 2018, 01:23:36 AM
Even in the stock market, there's also price manipulation going on. And also oil, vegetable and rice are all controlled by hoarders in this world. So even it's hard to accept, there will always be manipulation but I think that those trading bots are just doing a small difference in the cryptocurrency market.
247  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-10-08] Bitcoin’s Low Volatility Might Mean Price Manipulation Is Waning on: October 09, 2018, 01:10:16 AM
I don't think so. The people who are against like the big banks are surely trying all they can just to crash our precious bitcoin throughout the year but I'm surprised but it still did not. It's because the big whales our trying to maintain a good price so people won't leave bitcoin.
248  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-10-05] The average bitcoin investor really is young, rich and male on: October 09, 2018, 12:56:19 AM
When the article refers to the "average bitcoin user", it is important to keep in mind that there is absolutely no way to determine who owns or uses bitcoin and no way to determine any kind of average.  So what the author has done is to bring his own bias and per-conceived notions out. He must just think that young, rich, men should be the ones who own bitcoin, but he can't actually know that.

Yeah, he must have done it in a party near his place then made a discussion with these rich folks about bitcoins. After that, he made this ridiculous survey. I know a lot of males are in crypto but I think majority of the them who invested are not really rich.
249  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Should we pay taxes on Bitcoin? on: October 02, 2018, 03:54:30 AM
Maybe on salary and products but they should leave the profits from trading. Trading is not always guaranteed so it would be more depressing for a trader who keeps paying his taxes even he is currently experiencing losses but maybe if only cashing out then I might agree to it.
250  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Have people been forced to pay tax over Bitcoin yet? on: October 02, 2018, 03:44:08 AM
I think people in some countries are forced to do that but they are doing clever moves to avoid it. I've heard some people who are evading their obligations and not stating their income on cryptocurrencies. And another thing is that there is still only few who make profits on crypto so their government are still not serious about it.
251  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-09-29] Luxury Watchmaker Hublot Unveils New Model, Available for BTC only on: October 02, 2018, 03:34:53 AM
Only 210 pcs? I bet that none of this forum would ever get their hands on it. It's obvious that it will be overprice because it's only limited. Those multimillionaires might already reserved their own before it even got shown to the public.
252  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-09-30]Bitcoin Bullish or Bearish as Weekend Ends? Is a Bull Run Imminent? on: October 02, 2018, 03:22:44 AM
$220 Billion? Well, I've seen that market price going down and back for the last months. It is not a good basis for a bull market that is going to happen. I've seen this kind of topic every week or month and they always just base on little increase. I hope they'll change and make other informative relevant news.
253  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-10-01] Massive 'Inevitable' Bitcoin Prediction Made By Malta's PM on: October 02, 2018, 03:07:58 AM
That's amazing to hear but I think they are rushing things on their part. This prime minister seems so excited about but all he has was predictions and not with systematic actions. I really hate when people only make exaggerated predictions without making effective plans first.
254  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [09-25-2018] Google to Reverse Crypto Ad Ban for Exchanges Advertising on: September 26, 2018, 01:26:47 AM
It's nice to hear this and it is really a smart choice to only advertise exchanges instead if ICOs. Altcoins that are already listed has lower risks compared to ICOs so this will help new investors to study the system before they even get totally burned. I hope Binance would always get promoted so they will also have a great experience while trading.
255  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-09-25] Financial Expert Pinpoints Signs Confirming Bullish Bitcoin Sentime on: September 26, 2018, 01:16:47 AM
Last year, forks became the catalyst to the  great pump of the prices of cryptocurrencies. So right now, I highly believe that ETFs are now the key this time to trigger another record-breaking bull run. Bull run is always a surprise and it always want us to completely lose hope before it comes out and start .

Well, everything could be not valued at all. The gold is just a shiny stone that is just agreed by humans to be very valuable. But for me, anything that can give convenience to us is definitely has a worth just like bitcoin.
257  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [09-22-2018] Bitcoin Transactions Up to 6000x Cheaper Than Bank of America Fees on: September 26, 2018, 12:55:00 AM
Yesterday i just made a transaction for 0.01 usd. Confirmed in less than 30 minutes. People cry about btc fees,. But look at the banking system fees.

These people aren't real users but parasites. They complain about Bitcoin fees in the pennies while they allow themselves to be extorted by platforms such as PayPal.

People are too stupid to realize that Bitcoin's transaction fees are the cheapest from all crypto currencies.

It's the complete package you get when you use Bitcoin that matters;

- transacting through the safest network.
- by far the most liquid crypto currency.
- by far the most accepted/wanted crypto currency economically speaking.

Based on the above, I'll gladly pay even $1 in fees if I have to. Current fees of $0.01-$0.05 are an absolute steal. Great time to consolidate your inputs.

And surely Paypal will increase their fees in the coming years which is surely unaaceptable for people who need to pay using their platform. And then when they notice that ridiculous fees of those banks and other payment platforms, they will flock into bitcoin automatically.

That is very interesting to see it happens. Those fiat just only favor few people in the higher status. Everything is under their control and monopoly is their greatest skill. But now bitcoin is here to stop all their madness and their wrongdoings.
259  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-03-21]Bitcoin Will Be World's 'Single Currency' Says Twitter CEO on: September 18, 2018, 02:34:21 AM
It's nice to hear big names on the internet industry who gives huge support on bitcoin or maybe it only happened because they are not Paypal. But I also agree to his predictions that the crypto takeover will happen in less than a decade.
260  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-09-11] Stern Professor Says Bitcoin Will Hit Zero After 70 Percent Drop on: September 18, 2018, 02:26:19 AM
Did he just say ZERO? Then that confims that this guy is just another bunch of highly-educated people who really knew nothing about the majority of cryptocurrencies. Why did he just not say dead so people can skip this ridiculous article about his absurd predictions.
