2421  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: dormant addresses are waking up? on: October 27, 2019, 01:47:22 AM
There are possibilities that these addresses are own by whales that just the market passes till right now, I have a huge speculation that they know what will happen why they hodl such big amount of bitcoin from 2011. In this case, we can perceive that market will be much lively as they participate in trading.

Different speculations are now coming into our minds. A sudden movement of a dormant wallet which is suddenly appeared after all these years.
There is a higher percentage that this is owned by a whale and there must be something huge that will happen in the market for the next following days or months.
2422  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price today ! on: October 26, 2019, 01:08:14 PM
actually I also don't know what caused the value of bitcoin to go up 30% today. maybe the two reasons you mentioned also affect the increase in bitcoin. but this news really makes us happy because the rise of bitcoin makes the green altcoin market back after a long time in red. and maybe now it's time for bitcoin to bull. after the bear market for a long time.
Considering the adoption of the Chinese government to blockchain technology, announcing to prioritize its improvement is really a big factor in the crypto world. Some may not consider it but as we can see, bitcoin price suddenly increase after spreading this announcement around the world.
2423  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are You Concerned On Sudden Rise of Bitcoin? on: October 26, 2019, 12:00:16 PM
No, there is nothing to worry about.
It is normal for bitcoin to have an increase in its price after the dip. It is volatile we can normally see ups and down anytime. We should not be concerned; instead, we should watch for more possible things to happen on its price.
2424  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Loan to buy Bitcoin? on: October 26, 2019, 08:48:16 AM
This is very high risk, and I will not do it. For me, I will buy BTC from my personal salary, even though it is a small amount.  Borrowing Money to buy Bitcoin is not recommended, because buying Bitcoin is not a basic necessity in life. And my advice, use the loan money that you do to meet the needs of your life, do not buy BTC because the risk is very high.

Risk is always everywhere, it will be up to him if he wanted to take risk in loaning some money to buy BTC, or just watching the price goes up as the time is passing by, as per some Billionaires that I have red, one of their strategy is to make a loan and do business. Don't be afraid in loaning some amount which your instinct saying that you should buy it, sometimes after doing research following our instinct is good.
Investment is already risky, loaning some money will make it much risky. Crypto is volatile and it's hard to tell whether it will increase or decrease.
If this is OP really wants, and I think he already planned on how he can pay if ever he loans money, then he can go with his own decision.
2425  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you waste your time for 5 cents worth of bitcoin? on: October 26, 2019, 07:15:01 AM
I am a person who always appreciates time, I think doing it for the sake of 5 cents is less useful. We have the same life time
for 24 hours a day, it is wiser to use something more productive. Doing so will waste your life time with only 5 cents. I think
the website is faucet, and usually the minimum withdrawals are also large. So it takes a long time to be able to withdraw.
Not to mention that the website is a scam. I suggest not doing this, look for work that is worth the result.

This activity is time consuming, and I don't think it's worthy of our efforts. Every single minute is money, we can find other alternative instead of choosing this kind of task to do, since sacrificing our safety is a very serious concern about this faucet rewards. If this website is a potential scam, I guess that's their trick having long time delays of withdrawal.
Yes, it's not even worth it to cover your expenses not only in utility expense but also in your daily needs. Doing this activity is just a waste of time, it's better to find a better source of income than clicking on a faucet website.
Imagine earning only cents daily is not enough these days.
2426  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin can not become a global currency on: October 26, 2019, 05:31:56 AM
For me, the main reason why bitcoin can't become a global currency because you don't have the identity on your wallet/BTC no KYC means that they can't tell how are you. Also, no one can control Bitcoin, for an example on scamming, e.g., if you are paying something using bitcoin, but after the transaction gets to confirm, you don't get what you paid for. In banks, you can retrieve your money, but in bitcoin, you can't. There are still some reasons why it can be done, especially to the government sector parts. By the way, cryptocurrency is created to become an alternate payment/transaction system. It never aims to become the primary currency. Smiley
aside from this, we all know that every country has a different value in their currency.
Bitcoin can't make every country to become equal in their economy. Big countries such as US and China won't leave this to happen, they have the biggest economy and they won't agree to become equal with other countries with an economic crisis.
2427  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best altcoin to invest excluding ETH on: October 26, 2019, 04:16:03 AM
According to coinmarketcap, I prefer ADA, XLM, TRON, and XRP. Because these coins or tokens are priced cheap, under $ 1. This price is also suitable for those of us who want to invest with not too much capital. Their development is also no doubt for now. So that if prices rise one day can provide at least 50% profit if we use the long-term method.
I also prefer these coins, aside from TRON.
ADA, XLM, and XRP were enough investment. Its price is cheap and this may be a good start for having an investment.

I have been holding these coins and as far now, I have a good profit though we face ups and downs in the market, they still show their progress and potential until today.
2428  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: When altcoin season? on: October 25, 2019, 03:39:01 PM
And why? Running late on crypto news last few weeks. Any good new coins on markets?
I think this post belongs in speculation thread, no one knows when altcoin season will return and even this morning some pro traders keep spreading news that altcoin season is here but i don't see any reason to act on the news since its not happening yet
This is probably due to the expected price increase of bitcoin. Because once the bitcoin bulllrun is started it will definitely raise the price of bitcoin and strong altcoins will go up with it.

High expectations resulting in uneasiness on the current situation of the market. The bull run will come at the right time. There are no positive updates regarding altcoin for the past few days and that's why the market is staying still on its current situation.
2429  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin hit a new low since 2018 on: October 25, 2019, 03:10:51 PM
Now some people on the Internet predict that bitcoin will hit a new low since 2018. Is this someone harvesting leeks and alarmist? Historically, there seems to be a similar voice every time prices fall. Our retail investors are reduced to leeks every time.

We've been here for hundreds of times in this situation, Bitcoin dipping is a scenario that will keep repeating as we move along, but that does not mean that it's the end of Bitcoin, right now Bitcoin is going up again, so it has a chance to regain what it lost.
We must not be careful on what we think could happen, because it might happen, but there is a strong indication that it will not go that way because halving is just a few months away.
We all know that when bitcoin will show a dump next thing to happen is a huge pump. We have seen this many times before, we should be able to tell the next thing to happen. Though we really can't determine what is the next thing to happen.
If its price goes deeper, there will be a good outcome for sure.
2430  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your favorite way to receive money as a gift? Cash or digital.. on: October 25, 2019, 02:15:58 PM
I’m surprised to see the result of this survey and it looks like cryptocurrency and other digital currency are making big impacts in the world market and that’s why many people are willing and hoping to receive digital currency on the holidays, well I will also choose that best option.
This survey has been performed with most crypto users, it is expected to see that receiving digital cash is much favorable than receiving cash.
But this is still positive feedback, seeing a lot of crypto users to undergo a survey like this. This has been shown that as time pass by, we can see increasing numbers in users of cryptocurrency.
2431  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Opinions on XRP for long term investment (BEGINNER) on: October 25, 2019, 01:37:38 PM
Base in xrp's potential then for me this is good for an investment like the developer or team behind this can handle this even the crypto's market drops a lot like they still have many ways to develop this so that's why this grow then more another thing this is like fiat currency like xrp is related to bank business so this turn trusted and popular by this or like now
XRP is indeed a good investment.
Even after facing a serious controversy recently they still able to hold their position as top and popular altcoin in the market. Though, there are some investors that pulled-out their investment, we can still see a lot of investors stay at XRP.
2432  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: Brave Browser Crypto Rewards Program on: October 25, 2019, 12:59:43 PM
I have been using Brave Browser for more than three months on PCs and Smartphones but have never gotten that BAT token every month? I'm also confused about how to get the token, because I haven't been able to BAT it for a long time, I delete Brave Browser.
You should have look for a reason for not getting a BAT token. If you are using it for three months, you should have collected enough BAT tokens. I am also using it and I am able to receive my BAT token. I prefer using Brave Browser than google because while using it, I am able to earn even a little amount of BAT.
2433  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What kind of Altcoins have a future? on: October 25, 2019, 10:34:40 AM
Coins with inactive developers without even following their roadmap will definitely die. There are projects which are hanging these days because of the market situation. Investors are also afraid to try new coins because most of them only end up as shitcoin. I'm sure that top coins with consistent price will still remain alive as long as there's continuous development.
Those altcoins that does not even have a volume in the market, indeed.
Those altcoins are the altcoins who have been left by their developers and focus more on other things. Those altcoins will probably die and being forgotten as the time passes by. Compare to popular altcoins where their improvement still continue even today.
2434  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's acceptance in the World on: October 25, 2019, 03:13:03 AM
If a company sells products/services of 10000$ and receive payment in Bitcoin, and bitcoin loses 10% in one day then basically company has lost 10% worth of their products.
Don't just see it in a one sided view if cryptocurrency lose 10percent then it's a lose for the company but don't forget if bitcoin gain 10 percent then it's a gain for the company also.
And the company should be aware of that already before asking for payment in bitcoin
all transactions made with bitcoin will always have an indirect impact. because we must know that bitcoin is not static, bitcoin moves quickly up and down and obviously will have a direct impact on the movement.
This is a risk that must be borne when using a bitcoin transaction. can be beneficial and can also be detrimental, all depends on the bitcoin movement.
It's like a double edge sword, they can earn or have losses.
If we can estimate like 10% of loss of earnings, it highly affects the company and it can result in both bad and good impact.
Both consumers and producers will be affected in terms of having an equal transaction.
2435  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how to invest safely in cryptocurrency? on: October 24, 2019, 03:58:14 PM
Background check is essential and don't forget to check the project regularly on social media. Found a tool on Newscrypto platform which tracks desired coins and their performance (avaiable for free).

Also don't feel comfortable investing in new projects listed od unknown/low volume exchanges. Hope it helps! Have a great one!

It will be useful to gather information to lessen the risk of investment. By doing a research, we can tell if the  investment is legit or dangerous which should be avoided by investors.
However, there is no safe investment. We all know that every investment has its own risk that we need to face.
2436  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you ever been stolen or lost your BTC? on: October 24, 2019, 03:34:38 PM
I have had the experience of losing the bitcoins that I have because I invested in famous mining that was a scam, so that the assets in the form of bitcoins that I had became lost and the website could not be opened, until now I was traumatized when I wanted to invest using my bitcoin.
That is the saddest part of experience in cryptocurrency, losing money with a reason of being scammed in an investment.
I have never lost my BTC even from the first time I entered cryptocurrency, I am very cautious for every transaction I have made, and before I enter, my friend who taught me about bitcoin warned and told me to be careful and do not easily trust other people especially those investments.
2437  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Protect Yourself And You Protect Your Assets on: October 24, 2019, 02:54:11 PM
I've read people asking and posting how to protect their wallet but apart from educating yourself on how to protect your wallet, private keys and passwords, It's also very important that you protect yourself from exposing your portfolio you don't go around telling friends and random people, coins that you are keeping.
And also It's important to have other businesses or jobs and not rely on all your needs to Cryptocurrency, people will notice this and they will think you are making a fortune from Cryptocurrency and they might target you.

So are you protecting yourself and how do you protect yourself and your family?

yes i agree with you we must protect ourselves and our families from bad people. I have never posted my portfolio or income from cyrptocurrency on social media. and I also always keep my password and digital wallet key in a safe place and only my partner knows. and I also still have a professional job I do not rely on cryptocurrency as my main income.
We really should not share it in public, it should stay private to ourselves.
Posting and sharing anything regarding our cryptocurrency assets is not prohibited, but we should consider our own safety when it comes to our own assets.
We all know that an individual can become blind when it comes to money, they can do anything for money.
If it's unavoidable to share information with other people, just make sure that certain person is trusted and should be someone close to you.
I agree. Fewer people know that you work with cryptocurrencies, the better for you
And even if someone found out, always use an alibi that you were interested in before, but then burned out.
It is dangerous to create appearance that you have a lot of money.
In every aspect of life, when it comes to money we must prioritize our privacy. Whether your assets was from cryptocurrency or on your own salary. Cryptocurrency assets are not created to let anyone know about it, it is a valuable asset which we also consider as an investment. Cryptocurrency is something that stays hidden. The fewer people who knows it, the better.
2438  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is this a scam? What to do next. on: October 24, 2019, 01:42:04 PM
What should Sam do? Will the police help?
Sam immediately should stop investing there. And if Bitcoin uses legal on Sam jurisdiction then you may proceed report to police although I don't believe they would able to do anything since bitcoin is irreversible currency. However he might try his luck. Its seems Sam has been invested on Ponzi Scheme somehow and all ponzi scheme has been turned into scam eventually. To be honest, Sam is too greedy on your story. Why he should involved with it if he doesn't have enough knowledge? The result is scam, that's how greedy people are getting scam. This would be a lesson for other. Just stay away from them who are offering you hight return on investment.
The police can at least help his friend if they somehow get a hint on the location of the scammer. However, it will not be too easy to do.
Transactions that have been done is anonymous and irreversible, it will be a huge challenge for them to find and arrest the one who manages the Ponzi scheme activity

His friend should have realized that it is clearly a scam at the very beginning, there is no such investment like that. He should have avoided it in the first place.
2439  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Happens If China Bans Bitcoin Mining? on: October 24, 2019, 01:08:31 PM
Hello members,
The truth is if china does that brander I mean of banning Bitcoin mining,their economy will decline and this will affect the whole system of cryptocurrency
yes we shall suffer a little bite but I have a feeling that other countries have a plan B as I speak some countries are yearning for that chance.China should not take electricity as an excuse thank you
I don't see any reason for them to be facing an economic failure if ever that they ban bitcoin mining. They will actually have an advantage for it if that will happen since bitcoin will probably drop, they can use that chance because they made a step on manipulating its price for that reason.
Cryptocurrency will the only one who will be affected since the demand will decrease.
2440  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do people easily get scammed on the internet? on: October 24, 2019, 04:10:21 AM
People get scammed on the internet out of desperation for something, typically for money. Out of desperation, a person loses the stable sense of making sound decisions and ones this stage is reached, the individual is apparently blinded to the identification all forms of scam. It is very good to always stay calm in our adventures on the internet and take time to research well especially to all forms of enticing offers that comes on the internet.
Due to the high expectation of an individual especially those new to this industry, they can easily bite the bait of scammers. They lack of knowledge and experience to tell if what they are going to try is risky or dangerous. Most of them are victims of promising a big return in a short period of time, which is we all know that it is impossible even in cryptocurrency.
