2441  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why bitcoin will never fall? on: April 18, 2020, 09:49:05 PM
No, I think it will never be lower than 2-3 thousand

That means it will fall, just not fail.

Saying that it will never fail is naive because it has fallen to 4000 dollars this year so it sure is able to fall.

If we get a giant recession bitcoin could follow the stock market like it just did and fall lower. It all won't matter much because it will still come out on top. Short term market price is not important.
2442  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have control or not? on: April 18, 2020, 09:32:23 PM

This can work under someone else supervision like in your case are your parents which can restrict you all the tools that you can use to gamble with and keep an eye on you until let’s say you have not gambled for a month.
The real problem with control is when you are an independent adult that controls everything for yourself.In this case if the situation goes out of control then it is almost sure that a lot of problems will arise in the near future.

I was very surprised at the time how many adults can't control themselves on their own. They drink too much alcohol, gamble, cheat on their wives and husbands, and so on.
These people can and should be saved, but they themselves must seek help or their family members must do so.

The most important step in a person's recovery is to understand that they have a problem and want to get rid of it.

Many real addicts know this and know they should stop but they keep on doing it.

You can ask any wife beater or child molester. They know it's wrong and every time they do it they apologize and gfeel bad, Then they promise to never do it again, stay strong for a month or two and then it happens again and everything starts over.

The most important step is not to be able to tell the truth and admit to a problem. The most important is to really work on changing it.
2443  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Longest Break You Have On Not Gambling on: April 18, 2020, 09:23:37 PM
I've never had a long break. Probably the longest ones that I had were close to a month. I tend to bet on something at least once a month and usually once every 2 weeks. Sometimes it's an MMA match and sometimes a simple round of poker or blackjack.

I don't spend a lot of money on it but I also don't intentionally stay away from gambling. I know that I can stop if I need to but a small bet from time to time doesn't hurt anyone Wink
2444  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and health 🤕symptoms on: April 18, 2020, 09:14:03 PM
the answer is no for me, it doesn't matter if we use crypto  it will not eliminate drugs and alcohol, because its a different problem from gambling addiction,
it should be deal by the family because i think that's the only way to solve it, gambling addiction may be also a discussion in the family, crypto currency is made for fster transactions and using paperless payments for faster transactions but not with a person's personal and health issue or problems.

It's true, Bitcoin wasn't designed to make gamblers' life better, but what if it works that way still? I personally think that when all the gambling industry will be using online crypto platforms, there will be much less gambling addicts than what we have today. And that's because it is easier to stop playing when behind your computer than when in a physical casino. Not trying to say that there will be no gambling addicts at all, but the number will be smaller, imo. But we have to wait for some reliable stats on that matter, which can take years.

Itt may be easier to stop playing but it's also easier to start. Some people have anxieties or are too insecure to go to a crowded casino where everyone watches them and play at a table.

Online gambling gives them a comfort of their own room and the anonymity. There's also no age restriction. They can always lie in an online form when they wouldn't be able to do it in a real casino.
2445  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 26 days to the halving left, what are you expecting? on: April 18, 2020, 09:02:58 PM
I have always thought that the price would go way up during a halving but history has proved not so. It does make more sense to go up and since bitcoin has been around quite some time I think this halving will effect the price more than the previous ones. If the price does drop though I think it would be the best time to buy more bitcoin. I see most are with me on this.

During the halving meaning what? 1 day before and 1 day after?

It went up after each halving but needed a few weeks before it became clearly visible. It happened faster after the first halving and slower after the second. If we follow the same path it may even take a year before we see a new ATH but it will happen.
2446  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is why bitcoin is unique. on: April 18, 2020, 08:39:07 PM
I find other aspects more interesting like the one that the million dollars OP is talking about can be transferred immediately with alsmost no delay. I know that if you really want to get those dollars you'll need to sell BTC and then transfer those dollars to a bank or an ATM but even this whole operation will still take less time and be less costly than a traditional international bank transfer.

Also nobody will know that you've transferred BTC to someone. For me it's important but think how important this is for big businesses that don't want anybody to know who they're paying and for what.
2447  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin halving 2020 is almost here, are you ready? on: April 18, 2020, 08:18:24 PM
I think I'm ready. Have been holding BTC for years now but I don't expect a miracle to happen and the price going to a new ATH this year.

What holdinh has taught me is patience. Nowadays I don't follow the price that much and treat it more like a safe haven for my money than a speculative investment.
2448  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Americans - will you spend your $1200 on BTC? on: April 17, 2020, 09:48:44 PM
If I was receiving a check for $ 1,200 and I didn't need to buy groceries or pay bills. Of course, I would buy Bitcoin. The situation in the USA is complex, the Covid19 is still reaching a very high figure.

Anyone in that country could be thinking about protecting their health and get out of that nightmare quickly.

First you shouldn't keep the money in a bank - I sure wouldn't. Who knows when they'll decide it's bailout time Wink

I'd keep it in cash if I needed it for daily expenses and invest in Bitcoin or gold if I had enough to live comfortably for now.

Like others are saying, Armstrong is exaggerating. People are buying BTC you can see it on the charts but it's not related to the checks. Maybe he should check how many of these 1200 deposits are actually from US citizens.
2449  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which one is the best to earn more? airdrop or bounty? on: April 17, 2020, 09:43:23 PM
You can do both, airdrops are just one-time jobs, while bounty campaigns require a consistent work. So if you have time, you can participate in many airdrops and bounty campaigns at the same time, so you maximize your profit. But do not spam, try to be helpful for the project what you are promoting.

There are some airdrops that combine the features of a bounty. Many sites organize airdrops but to participate yopu have to do some simple tasks like register on the platform, do KYC, tweet about the promo, maybe even deposit some money.

There are good and bad bounties and good and bad airdrops. You just have to choose well and not get scammed and both will be profitable.
2450  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can POLIS surpass DASH and become nr. 1 in the payment industry? on: April 17, 2020, 09:22:51 PM
1st.

This is also the very first time that I've heard about Polis.

2nd.

The feature that it offers isn't different from the existing and third party services that we have today.

3rd.

Why compare something we don't even heard of to Dash which is commonly known and popular ever since?

Though I have heard Polis before but it doesn't come close to the popularity of Dash. They will have a long journey to even compete with Dash in the market. Just looking the overview between Dash and Polis in CMC will give you idea how far they are -

Dash - Rank 20 vs. Rank 384

vs.

I am not considering the markets that they are listed with. But if you will check both of them. Dash has a lot as compared to few exchanges for Polis. So nope, right now, Polis has a lot of things to do to even achieve half the popularity of dash.

The price or the position on the list is ok to look at and compare, but when you look at the volume it's lik David fighting Goliath. Maybe if Dash dies for some reason or gets banned here and there, or has some critical bug Polis can overtake it but with that volume there's obviously not much interest in this coin.

I heard about this coin because I was for a time interested in PoS coin but most of those coins are pure speculation with no real use. They can claim to have partnerships and such but there's a long way from enabling payments to people using them.
2451  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins Need a Catalyst to push up prices on: April 17, 2020, 09:09:27 PM
What altcoins need is BTC pushing above 10 thousand dollars or better reaching ATH. If Bitcoin goes to new highs so will altcoins and this is going to be the best catalyst for their rise.

People who invest in Bitcoin and see their investment go through the roof will feel more relaxed and more secure investing some money into unstable altcoins that most people treat like gambling bets.
2452  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tone Vays channel deleted from youtube on: April 17, 2020, 08:51:43 PM
It is not strange if Youtube has deleted his Youtube channels because it is clear to read in that image from the OP that his channel violates Youtube terms.

WTF are you even saying? The whole issue we and Tone had was with this exact statement. He did not break any rules and even if he did there was no explanation as to what rules were broken! He's a TA guy, there's nothing unlawful going on his channel. He's not soliciting anyone and is just like hundreds of other TA people on youtube.

If it was an auto ban like people are saying it also sucks because they should always review any claim instead of allowing bots to decide the fate of accounts that people were building for years.


I subscribed and quickly unsubscribed.

Tone Vague, wanted 1 btc per hour or something for advice.

Was totally clueless on btc panels even made bitcoin jesus look good.


Good riddance.



He's clueless. Used to say that Bitcoin will hit 1000 dollars last year and now he suddenly is bullish and says that we wont even go to 3k again.  
I wouldn't ban his channel though.

2453  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: the first reason why fraud projects are increasingly rampant? on: April 16, 2020, 10:25:07 PM
During the time ICO was famous, there are many members or professional who knows about blockchain and coding taking advantages of the process and we cant persecute them all in a swoop. Yes, if they can be caught, then they must be punish by the law but the thing here is the decentralized nature of blockchain cannot pinpoint these people. How many have run away already for this and keep repeating the same fraud by introducing newer project? Ive guess for now, we can do is to avoid ICOs so rhey cant scam or steal money from investors.

They sold you false promises and you bought them. If losing your invested money is the crime you are as guilty as those people who promoted their ICO projects.

Posts like yours show that we aren't ready for decentralization yet. You want proijects to be decentralized and independent but when you get hurt you went the authorities to catch fraudsters and the law to punish them. You want decentralization when it suits you.
2454  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency Should be subsubject in Economy on: April 16, 2020, 09:57:25 PM
They may know how to use cryptos, how to install crypto wallets and how to send/receive them but if they never know what is decentralization they will not realize the importance of having something called crypto.

Yes, we can learn anything and everything from internet still 90% of world people don't know how money works. Cheesy

How can you say that? Where do you get numbers like that?

People learn what theyre interested in. You can't expect everyone to know something about economy and finances. Does a mechanic need that knowledge? He's got people to handle his finances for him. Do these people know how to fix cars? Probably not and that's why they work with money not with engines and such.

What is important is the ability to learn that the Internet gives us. If you want to learn how to use a wallet you can do it for free.
2455  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Coinmarketcap or Coingecko? on: April 16, 2020, 09:47:27 PM
I prefer coingecko.

One of the reasons for it is how easy it is to switch between currencies in which the charts and all coin values are shown.
I live in the EU so I deal a lot with EUR prices and need to follow these, but I also want to switch to USD views with one click.

The sites are really similar so there's not that many differences between them to make us not use one or the other.
2456  Economy / Economics / Re: Proposed Bill Would Give Americans $2,000 A Month Until Economy Recovers on: April 16, 2020, 09:38:25 PM
With this amount of new USD money in the economy, I believe the BTC and other main cryptos will fly us quickly.

I hope that you understand that you can't give money that you do not have. This means they will have to make money. So they will print money and give it away for people to spend.

They'll dillute the dolladr and make it worth even less and that 2000 that people will think is a lot will kick them in the ass a year later when they'll have to pay $20 for a pack of cigarettes.
2457  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Gold Leaving Bitcoin(The Digital Gold) Behind? on: April 16, 2020, 09:29:11 PM
Both markets are heavily manipulated. Can we really say that gold is leaving Bitcoin behind? In the last 5 years Bitcoin gained much more value than gold, so it was already ahead.

You're confused about the price because you're looking at a short timeframe. Gold hasn't passed it's ATH from 2013 and 14 yet so it's barely recovering after some corrective years.
2458  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does Libra still pose a threat to Bitcoin? on: April 16, 2020, 08:57:17 PM
Libra was never a threat. It was a threat to other stable coins like usdt. Is usdt a threat to Bitcoin?

I also think that Libra will not come to life. They probably wrapped up after that innitial set of hearings. They have enough money to get off the book statements from commisioners and such and i'm sure they were told there will be no green light this time.
2459  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tone Vays channel deleted from youtube on: April 16, 2020, 08:07:19 PM
I don't agree with his opinions but he had a very good and informational channel about trading and TA. He never told people what to do just anlysed the charts and gave his opinions.
The hyperwave theory he's following is questionable and Tone is only right in maybe half of his predictions, but he's not doing anything wrong. He's just like any other analyst.

How does his channel break the TOS?

I hate how they never explain which exact point those banned people broke so that they cannot even argue their case.
2460  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 26 days to the halving left, what are you expecting? on: April 15, 2020, 11:25:22 PM
Why are you so concerned about the short-term price action OP?

Will it pump, will it dump? Does it really matter? If it dumps it's only going to be temporary.

If you want to make a quick buck you can try shorting the stock market. If the recession really hits it's going to fall even lower and these things always come like an aftershock of a big event. The economic shutdown was the event, now we're waiting for the shockwave to hit, starting from the poorest countries affected.
