241  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Group-IB and CryptoIns want to insure clients of crypto exchanges on: November 27, 2018, 01:49:04 PM
Hi friends!
How do you think: is it real to insure losses in cryptoinvestments? Will it be in demand?

Please include link to a source of your news. And I don't think it is real to insure cryptocurrency losses from trading itself (from underwriting point of view, the premium would be too high for a customer). Cryptocurrency deposit insurance might be a bit more realistic.

Venezuela surprised me a lot. It might be a country where you want to mine Bitcoins but you don't want to live there  Grin I would recommend to look at Sweden, Norway and Iceland. Some companies used abandoned caves at Iceland to build their farms with free (and natural) cooling system. And if I am not mistaken, Sweden and Norway offer electricity subsidies.
243  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Centralized and Decentralized exchanges? Which one do you prefer? on: November 27, 2018, 01:35:41 PM
Centralized exchanges for dumpers
Decentralized exchanges very strict for dumpers

It is not only about dumpers. I prefer decentralized exchnages especially because of they are safer when it comes to depositing and withdrawing funds, they do not limit daily or any amounts for withdrawals etc. On the other side, you have to be very cautious about order filling, there is less liquidity in decentralized exchanges.

Cuban and Lympo form alliance that rewards folks with crypto tokens just by working out:

Huh, this deserves much more public exposure! Mark Cuban can address large American customer base and millions of potential Lympo fans. I hope we will see such an article in non-crypto journals.
245  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Some well-known Bounty managers “disappeared”? on: November 26, 2018, 04:11:58 PM
It is a natural circulation in a business, I don't find it alarming. Some people simply moved to more profitable business, and there will always be people willing to do bounty managers at actual rates.  Wink
246  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Could this be the reasons of the recent downtrend in the crypto market? on: November 26, 2018, 04:02:11 PM
So I read from a news today on CCN https://www.ccn.com/vc-investor-outlines-3-major-factors-behind-65-billion-crypto-market-wipeout/ and a popular VC Chris Burniske stated that the 3 major reasons for the recent market fall was because
1) The US market retracement
2) Sell-off of Ethereum
3) The Bitcoin cash hard fork.

Do you think he is right?


I would say that Bitcoin Cash hash war is the main reason for recent slump in cryptocurrency market. Ethereum sell-off has been a long term effect for a few months, and it might not get better in the following weeks.
247  Economy / Speculation / Re: Market Crash 2018: It's History Baby! on: November 26, 2018, 02:45:03 PM
The question is, how long will it take to recover?

The 2013 market crash took years to get back to the point where it was. Will we see a speedier recovery this time or are we here for a looooong loooong ride? I hope not, but history has shown that these big crashes take time to recover from.

the 2014 bear market (longest to date) took 14 months from top to bottom, followed by 9 months of sideways. we're currently 11 months into this bear market. so that gives us some idea of the possibilities.

i'd say we shouldn't expect a bull market to emerge for a good year from now.

This is a very simple logic that every trader and investor should keep in mind. There are not many 'rules' in trading but there is one almost universal - upward and downward rallies differ. Bear runs are usually quick and sharp while bull runs are generally slower and less steep.
248  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the Market Stabilizing? on: November 26, 2018, 02:40:55 PM
Well, according to actual price action, I would guess BTC price will calm down around $3,800 and then continue downwards before any stronger bull pressure. Altcoin will probably remain tied to BTC performance with some positive exceptions (see for example FCT).

These 2 wallets have not been touched since 2011.  most likely these coins are generated by mining whole blocks in the early times of mining.

there are more example could be found on the sheet here > https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f-iwNHgcoGjSt1iBzrrnO5MsPhFNOuJvbsXP1VBVymI/edit#gid=189298223

42K bitcoin wallet addresses that have been dormant from 2009-2013 with a balance of at least 25BTC


someone pointed this out on of the telegram group related to crypto. most people took that as a bad sign of early adopters dumping their BTCs, and we all know those early geeks must have a huge bag of BTC.

on the other hand, the way I look it is positive, because I do think that the wealth has to move from the geeks to the wealthy. it goes against the world standards that thousands of nerds become millionaires/billionaires just like that while the whales and the large institution do not get to make most of the profit in any growing market, they just won't let that happen.

also if you consider the market cycle of most markets


we need to get to the anger and depression phase for the market to kick-in. this is the phase where early the adopters and the late comers submit their hodlings to those with better stamina and much better skills of handling the market.

we are getting there people, be patient, another dip to 2-3k , a few months of very low volume and depression and then straight to the moon.

Honestly, I think the only reason is that these are abandoned addresses, and users probably forgot their passwords  Grin It is much more interesting to follow and observe the largest wallets in top10 coins.
250  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: US Department Of Justice Goes After Bitfinex And Tether (USDT) on: November 25, 2018, 10:36:32 AM
I have noticed this article from Cryptocoin.News. I think this is one of the reasons why the market has fallen in recent days. That time is really hard for the crypto market.

US Department Of Justice Goes After Bitfinex And Tether (USDT)

Quote
According to Bloomberg, the United States Department of Justice has opened an investigation against Bitfinex and its stablecoin, Tether (USDT), for alleged market manipulation during the Bitcoin (BTC) rally that occurred last year, which led BTC to reach $20,000 at the time.

Although charges have not been made against the cryptocurrency exchange, the authorities are investigating the matter further to settle claims for multiple community members and financial experts that have led to the particular conclusion of market manipulation.

The investigation could not come at a worse time, especially with the bear trend the market is experiencing right now and the drop in prices. In less than a week, Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a drop in prices of about 15%, reaching new lots and hanging around the $4,000 – $4,500 mark, a price that had not been seen since last year. The rest of the market has also been affected by this major drop.

I just quoted some main points. More details in source link.

What do you think if Bitfinex And Tether is convicted?

I guess Bitfinex will not be found guilty of market manipulation. If there were any evidence of such manipulation, I bet they are already gone and destroyed. However, DoJ might find something shady ...
251  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: From Minimum To A Million on: November 25, 2018, 10:31:05 AM
Hi All,

Thanks for the replies and advice. As mentioned a few times - I am only playing with 'profits' that I've already made from these sites and have withdrawn my original investment. So for me it is just a bit of fun. I'm sure some, if not all, of these sites will disappear in the next few weeks or months but for now I'm carrying on.

My update for this week is here:- https://fromminimumtoamillion.wordpress.com/2018/11/22/week-1/

Current 'active investment' is just over 0.06 BTC with 'daily payouts' of 0.0062 BTC.

Hope you will update us every week. There is one great thing in starting such an experiment when markets are down - if you end up with profit in a few months, you will probably have higher fiat value than before.
252  Economy / Economics / Re: Fire in the market: Bitcoin is below $4000 on: November 25, 2018, 10:23:29 AM
The market starts scaring the shit out of me. What the hell is wrong with the cryptocurrency market? What on earth is going on in the cryptocurrency market? I used to justify the recent market crash as a 'fake dump' but now it starts freaking me out! So, where do you guys think is the next bus stop for bitcoin? I'm thinking isn't this beyond 'hash wars' or Bakkt launch fake dump by the whales?


It might be hurting your or anybody's portfolio, but it is an opportunity, isn't it? Bitcoin hasn't been that cheap since September of the last year. If you believe there is a value in Bitcoin, simply buy  Wink
253  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] TIERION [TNT]Token Sale Starts on 27 July on: November 25, 2018, 10:09:42 AM
so quiet...

In real world a project needs of years to be developed and tested.
Se should collect pacience and learn to wait.

Per Wayne in Discord - "Here's another visual preview of the upcoming Chainpoint Logic App. Development is complete. We're just waiting on the team at Microsoft to approve the release."



It looks very simple  Grin Is there more information about Chainpoint Logic App? Its real use cases, technology etc. Anyways, I am glad the partnership with Microsoft was refreshed.
254  Economy / Economics / Re: The operator of the largest bitcoin exchange in Germany acquired the Bank Tremel on: November 19, 2018, 04:10:23 PM
The German holding company Bitcoin Group SE acquired a 100% stake in the investment Bank Tremel Wertpapierhandelsbank GmbH. This was reported in a press release.

Bitcoin Group SE is the operator of the country's only regulated bitcoin exchange Deutschland AG, also known as Bitcoin.de ahhh! According to the information on the website, Tremel specializes in securities trading. In turn, Bitcoin group SE intends to expand the list of services thanks to the license of the Bank acquired by It. In addition, the company intends to install bitcoin ATMs in Germany.

Managing Director of the Bank Rainer Bergman will continue to lead Tremel. Also, together with the team of Bitcoin group SE, he will develop custodial solutions.

Germany seems to be quite far in adoption and market cycle, acquiring a bank to obtain a license is a brave move, unusual for cryptocurrency industry. I hope it will also pave the way for cryptocurrency securitization in Europe. 
255  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: End of year Christmas Bonus on: November 19, 2018, 04:04:48 PM
There are two contradictory effects of Christmas - people cash out because not everyone has fat Chistmas bonuses, and others will buy cheap coins for these bonuses. Unfortunately, I think the former will outweigh the latter. Btw. poor Wisconsin guys, they should sell their guns, and buy presents for their children  Grin
256  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: It's a period of accumulation... Not a period of FUD on: November 19, 2018, 03:57:44 PM
Now Bitcoin is at 5100 level, Eth is at 150 level, Crypto Market Cap is around 170 Bil. USD, I know it's frustrating, but if you will look for the charts of the last bull runs, you will find that bull run comes after this period of FUD and Capitulation.

Prices may drop more than these red levels, may stay at these levels, but will never stay like that, it's not a wishthinking, but it's reality, But if you believe in crypto, you know that good news are coming, Bakket, ETF... etc.

Crypto is not a Bubble, nor a ponzi scheme, it's the future guys. Just Hodl and be patient.



You will always find signs of bull run if you look for one  Wink Anyways, markets go up and down, we are down right now but we will not stay there forever. With prudent money management it is just a market period we have to go through.
257  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum 2.0 on: November 19, 2018, 03:40:09 PM
These 1000x estimates are indeed exaggerated but Ethereum 2.0 could be the gamechanger. I strongly believe that Ethereum has a brighter future than Bitcoin itself when it comes to adoption and new blockchain technology.
258  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: From Minimum To A Million on: November 18, 2018, 05:40:23 PM
I wish you good luck with these "daily percent" companies. It is a dirty business, and you will have a tough way up. I would only advise you to get early in (the sooner after project start the higher probability for positive return) and don't be greedy (majority of there projects get away with all money after a few months).

This is the wrong attitude, this is promoting greed itself.
By even entering into this site yoy are feeding the scam and scammers and others will suffer.

Is it? The original poster apparently did make up his mind and s/he has already 'invested' money into these sites. While others talk about losing their money, scams etc., I wanted to give the original poster a piece of advice because he is already in.  Wink
259  Economy / Services / Re: I lost my all btc,ltc,doge coins! on: November 18, 2018, 08:14:26 AM
It is highly improbable that you will ever get your coins back. I am sorry to say it to you but your coins are now probably going to some exchange to be converted and cashed out. Try to find out how an attacker could have compromised your safe storage.
260  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin’s Affect on US Banks Money Laundering on: November 18, 2018, 07:43:26 AM
It is undisputable that Bitcoin might serve as one of means of money laundering. The same applies to cash. And it doesn't mean we will restrict cash just because it could be used for money laundering. Big money will always find its way ...
