2481  Economy / Economics / Re: Any ideas of what we lack in crypto world? on: November 07, 2019, 07:02:23 PM
I think a bit of regulations on exchanges and new project wouldn't harm anyone. It will affect the decentralization aspect a bit but it will also provide the needed security to the people. Many people are wary of cryptos because of the lack of security of their funds. Though the security depends upon us only but little bit of regulations over exchanges will bring cryptos int he good books.

I think that regulations can have a good effect, as well as having a law to protect those investors, so that they can have something that can sue in case one project run away or turned to scam. As well as, we should unite as one in eliminating scam so people who were once victim of scam, will once again gain the trust for crypto. 
At the moment it's still very hard to regulate online projects and catch scammers because internet is worldwide and your government won't put much effort to catch person from another country and etc so still and I think in future too you'll have a need to use your brain or maybe every domain registrator will require KYC documents for that so this way I guess it will be avoided.
Regulations on exchanges has it's pros and cons and that's mentioned correctly.
In crypto world we lack the situation which was 11 years ago when bitcoin was created. At that moment it was truly decentralized, anonymous and in overall amazing currency. Now it's becoming opposite of this and is subject of commercial business.
2482  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How we can introduce bitcoin to local people on: November 07, 2019, 06:10:43 PM
If you don't own any business or don't engage in any activities and aren't famous, then it's hard or almost impossible to make even any insignificant promotion of bitcoin. So in overall you have to be higher than average person. In this case if you meet this criteria, it's easy to do your best in introducing bitcoin to local people, for example: If you own cafe, stick small banner that you accept bitcoin payments or even make some discount for them who will pay in bitcoin. This way people will get interested in bitcoin and you act like you introduce bitcoin to them. Can do the same on supermarket, clothe shop and etc on any type of business.
Also if you are famous, doesn't matter where, in university or just public person, you have opportunity to introduce it to a lot of people pretty easily, you are the key there.

~
but kyc is done not only to know the customer, but a project has rules where the customer must be really pure, not bot. so I think if you do kyc you have to be careful that personal data isn't stolen because in my opinion kyc is sometimes needed for projects.

Indeed, KYC is like a filter from bounty participants because there were many of them caught cheating the campaign.
There was no KYC rule on the past bounty campaigns, but for the sake of prevent dumping, they need to eliminate the cheating hunters.
Personal Identification documents are needed in some projects, for example for opening bank account, insurance and etc to prove that you are real and it belongs to you in case there is something wrong but today this is messed, I think there must be some kind of regulation on KYC procedure/documents and on companies/projects who collect them. It's legalized criminal activity and even governments push them for that. Our data is hang on and they can play with it as they wish, this situation sucks and needs to be fixed. Hope governments will take care of it cause a lot of KYC documents were leaked and it's not even beneficial for local security in countries.

The reason why I want to bump this thread is following: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5199545.0 (can't insert hyperlink)
In this thread someone asks: Are You Willing To Teach Your Children How To Gamble If You Are Good At It?
Just tell me the logic behind this question. It's like are you willing to teach your children drink if you don't get headaches after hangover?
I know a lot of silly questions are asked there while there are really some interesting topics too but cmon, don't open your fantasy so widely. Don't post anything for the sake of signature, enough is enough.
2485  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do long term holding profitable in all cases? on: November 07, 2019, 04:24:12 PM
Should I continue holding my ethereum? Am a believer of long time holding but am currently beginning to lose faith due to fact that I have been experiencing constant decline in my major coins that I have been holding since late 2017. The coin in question is ethereum which I have been holding since when its value was around $1,300 and now its value is now less than $200 per one.
Should I continue holding my ethereum?
Idk what to say about another coins but still I share the same thoughts on bitcoin, ethereum and on some other ones. Can't 100% surely say that on ethereum but for me on bitcoin it's like a gold rule: Bitcoin will always surpass it's all time high. Was it once 20K? It will be 21 next time, not maybe in 1-2 months but maybe in some years. So to my mind long term holding is profitable, for bitcoin's situation, halving gives me that high hopes cause price went from 600$ to 20k after halving, slowly but it went and was amazing.
Personally I would hold ethereum too or at least sell that when price will rise a little bit to not get serious loss from it.

Why don't we have people doing this for btc adoption. This would encourage newbies like us. https://www.cryptoinfowatch.com/roger-ver-gives-away-free-bitcoin-cash-believes-it-would-be-worth-5000-in-future/
At first do you know who are customers of such "promotions"? Mostly kids. I highly doubt any person with job and etc will waste time to get Roger's 1$. That giveaway is far from adoption and that means nothing, if he wanted to do something at least, he could do something similar of blockchain.com's 25$ stellar giveaway. But if we ask him, he give away 5000$ in reality instead of 5$ but it's another task how that happens by his logic, why will BCH rise that much. I see better hope in other altcoins like monero, ethereum, grin and etc rather than bch.

To be fair website looks very unprofessional, design has to attract people, not opposite which your website does (sorry but that's my opinion, hope at least mine). Well, nothing to talk about template, website lacks a lot of important information which includes max bets too, what's the limit of win and etc. You need to add FAQ (frequently asked questions) page on your website. Just see how other websites did, don't copy from them but consider them.
Is that bought script or your own one?
Sorry if I came with a lot of negative but believe me, they have to be fixed, it's better for you to achieve your goal.

I've heard his name numerous times on the forum, but sad to say I still don't really know who he is.  He's made some wild predictions about bitcoin, correct?  Did he make a specific prediction that was supposed to have come true by now?  Just curious.  I wish I had the patience to keep track of all the predictions these people make, not only in crypto but also in other markets like gold & silver.  These "big names" have no compunction about saying bitcoin or gold is going to the moon by a certain time and then somehow that prediction gets lost in the sands of time and nobody ends up caring about the accuracy of their predictions.

And they make these predictions to keep their names in the news, to keep them relevant and also probably to hype whatever asset they're making the prediction about.  It's a fucking disgusting practice but a very common one in crypto and in the metals markets.

Lol. Did McAfee call you and made a deal with you?
I'm sure OP is just making a point here, though I wish he would be more specific about what McAfee said and what OP is referring to, because I don't know exactly what this ass-busting is in reference to. 
‎John McAfee founded famous company McAfee, LLC (haven't you heard antivirus McAfee?). He predicted Bitcoin (but in original post it's typo bircoin) at $1 million by the end of 2020, if that doesn't happen that way, he will eat his own dick on national television.
Also this man claims that he knows real satoshi and gave him some time to reveal himself or if he won't do that, John McAfee will and that will be bad for satoshi.
I think this man is just a clown because of his statements, 2021 will come soon, national TVs prepare! McAfee will be McAeat

What about to include your works via imgur link? I ask this because instead of following your link, I googled that image upload website and got results where some people claimed it was full of malwares and etc. So I think doesn't worth to risk, just use old but gold imgur website for your and our safety.
So you are making website designs? Just in photoshop or you make template in html/css too?
Please share more with us, let's be a little bit talkative cause otherwise it's hard to understand what you offer and etc, you won't gain clients that way.
2490  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will BNB become the king of all coins on: November 06, 2019, 08:06:41 PM
I don't know what you guys think about altcoins and cryptocurrencies in overall but to my mind most part of their users use it because of better anonimity and privacy protection. Still cryptos are great investment option and in this profile, I highly doubt anything will come closer to bitcoin so I think BNB has zero chance here. On another hand if we talk about anonimity, currently nothing can come close to Monero so no place of BNB there.
To sum up, how can it become king of all coins? In which aspect BNB shines? TX fees? Oh no, believe me.
2491  Economy / Speculation / Re: HODL'ers lose. That is no surprise on: November 06, 2019, 07:27:27 PM
No No No - I bought 250+ bitcoin 4 years ago and using it I bought free and clear a new farmhouse (which I fixed up the way I want using an additional couple hundred thousand dollars), a big imported Amish barn, on 40 acres of land with 10 acres of field and 30 acres of beautiful hardwood forest, a new tractor, new soapstone woodstove, many cords of firewood, tens of thousands of dollars in furniture - the list goes on.

I still have a couple million dollars of BTC .

Hodlers lose? LMAO.  Here I am a multi-millionaire because of BTC.  Did I lose?  You be the judge.
Don't know whether your story is true or not (I mean buying of 250 coin, that's really much) but I agree with you, HODlers never lose, at least from this 11 years experience, we can proudly say that but at the same time I amn't fan of hodling because money mustn't be frozen, it has to be in circulation.

I am glad that you did well RonF but I do not think it is a good idea to reveal your holdings, hackers are always trying to find victims for their scams, in fact I will not be surprised that since you posted this information you received many personal messages asking for loans, give outs, investment opportunities, scam attempts or even threats.

There are many ways to protect our coins and I trust you are already taking the necessary steps to do so but one of the easiest ways to protect yourself is by not advertising the amount of coins you have, or even better never tell anyone what you know about cryptocurrencies.
Then almost entire forum knows that Ognasty was owning a lot of bitcoins, forum's treasure but anything happened? Also escrows own a lot of bitcoins but nothing happens. You'll receive such messages very often whether you really own coin or not. It's ok to state such thing there to my mind + no one knows how true is that information.
2492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have anyone tried to stop gamblers from losing while they keep on wagering. on: November 06, 2019, 07:02:39 PM
I've been into gambling for a long, my major focus was on sports betting. From sports betting earned good, but I wasn't able to make the success continue. I lost out of greed, further my focus turned towards casinos where we get the instant results and doesn't want to wait as we wait on sports betting till a match gets over. By this time I was entirely new to it, and lost big. If someone have contacted me I could've stopped it for a while and lowered my loses.

Recently while playing dice, I saw a person who was wagering with large funds to recover the loss. By the time he has lost part of what I have lost. I texted him my experience, and suggested to stop it before things go out of his hands. He didn't responded, finally he lost everything. Have any of you got such experience.
If he was playing dice, this process of gambling is very quick and in some seconds you can bet more than 10 bet. So if you were texting your experience during this moment, I guess he would almost lose everything. Maybe he didn't read chat? Some people don't care about chat but only on game. Also as far as I know it's not allowed in online casinos to ask players to stop gambling because they'll lose money and etc, in fact you ruin casino's business. None legal service/business will allow you to run their clients.
Also some people with a lot of money don't play with satoshies, they play with huge amount of money so maybe it was fun for him?

Hello @everyone

I’d like to present you something which is interesting for every trader.

https://www.b-cube.ai has created Artificial Intelligence that can predict the Bitcoin and other Crytocurrency markets. Register to the Website and you can see our records, with the portfolio gain percentages.

Using the Website is all FREE until the 31 of December, there is no need to give any credit card numbers in the registration process.

We have won 4 startup competition awards so far with this method. Our Team have gained experience at previous working places like Morgan Stanley.

All the signal services out there are scams.. It should not be like this. Ideal semi-financial services are transparent, credible, correct and bona fide.

Come, Sign up at https://www.b-cube.ai/register.html
Let’s transform this scamy industry and left the nonsenses behind us! With any question, DM me here or write to the website contact.
Doesn't sound interesting for me and to be fair it's very boring when I see words Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and similar ones in places where there is no need of them. What can AI do? What you call AI isn't real AI. If that's real AI, then that must be capable of reading and analyzing every published news around bitcoin and cryptocurrencies for accurate trading predictions. I highly doubt your AI can do that so just analyzing charts means nothing, we don't live in past.

Good websites were suggested but still I want to include on of them which hasn't written. This website is called: https://bitcoinian.com/ and is made by one of our member named:
teamer. Website looks as simple as preev but still better than that one. Seems because of good fantasy, there are not only btc/usd rates but also btc/banana rate, btc/lambo rate...
In overall there is six cryptocurrency which includes Bitcoin of course, Dash, Eth, LTC, Monero and Ripple.
2495  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is a Race For an Internet-Native Currency, and Bitcoin is Leading It. on: November 05, 2019, 07:16:12 PM
I'm not sure internet native is the best word usage here. I would say it's a race to find the best, most anonymous most transparent and easiest to use currency for online payments.

I reckon the world would slowly turn into one with 2 payment methods, which make up the majority of transactions across the world. One for online purchases, like items from Amazon or buying in game currency for a game and the other one to be used in real life situations.

Anyway. If there was truly a race as described, Bitcoin would be winning it
At some point I think internet-native is great term there cause bitcoin was the first currency which takes roots from informational technologies and internet. For online payments, every currency is "easiest" and there are more anonymous ones too, for example Monero.
But I have no idea about "internet's own currency". Wait, if you convert bitcoins in fiat via internet too, then what this means? Bitcoin isn't independent, it's price is calculated in USD, it's not separate from it. So I wouldn't say fiat doesn't do this or that thing. As for now bitcoin is like fiat converter.
2496  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Why do whales move Bitcoin around from wallet to wallet? on: November 04, 2019, 05:41:09 PM
Are they splitting the coin up into smaller wallets so they do not keep all their eggs in one basket?  Any other reasons why?

There is a wide possible range of speculations that we can make when it comes to why whales move their coins around. Firstly, with whales being whales, it could be an attempt at market manipulation, trying to cause some FUDs when big amounts are seen moving on the blockchain. Secondly, although unclear, it could also be a result of coin tumbling, which the big traders use to get their hands on untraceable coins.
Got it, great comment there. I don't know why but a lot of people thinks it's because they have to move their coins from old wallets into new ones and keep them secure and etc. Well, yes, at some point such transactions are done by exchanges for those purposes but that's rare and it doesn't shine too. But usually whales do huge transactions to gain attention from others because it usually gets under attention very easily and famous news websites like cointelegraph, ccn and etc often post about huge moves from one wallet to another which is an extra help for them to achieve their goal.
2497  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Crowdfunding traditional food on: November 04, 2019, 05:05:29 PM
It's so hard to read OP's post but I understood what's the point.
At first please can you tell us from which country you are? I guess according to information available in your profile, you are from Indonesia. You can add bitcoin payments anytime to your service and that's as easy as ABC but can't exactly say how beneficial it will be for your business because if there is no demand, than it's like to be or not to be.
If aim of adding bitcoin payments is to make it more popular among people in your country, then I suggest you to offer 10-20% or any sale to those clients who will pay in bitcoin.
2498  Economy / Economics / Re: Cost of Living Comparison on: November 03, 2019, 07:50:56 PM
The cost of living in my country is actually cheaper compared to other countries yet it's still hard for a local citizen in my country to survive for everyday living. Others might find it cheap but an average person here finds it difficult to manage daily expenses. According to the data, an inexpensive meal here costs around 4$ while in the US it's 20$ which is very cheap when you compare yet some can't even afford to eat 3x a day.

Every country people have such scenario, USA is not an exception. Same as other countries USA too has got people who can't afford three time meals. From outside it looks like so luxurious, but in reality USA too lacks. But, they try to hide it to the world. This might damage their value as the world's power. There are people in USA who live their entire life on vehicles just because they aren't able to afford the house rentals.
Comparing cost of lives blindly isn't correct, you have to consider a lot, really a lot of things. How easily can person from other country start job there, how are other people accepted there, what's common and average salary there and etc. For example average salary in one country is 150£ while in UK it's £2000, then 300% difference between cost of lives according to calculator that OP used, gives us absolutely useless information. Without doubt UK is a great choice.

the cost of living of each person is certainly different, we cannot compare it with others. and of course the cost of living in each region is different. because every city has different political and economic policies. so I don't think we need to compare our living costs with other people's living costs. what is important is that we can meet the cost of our lives and live happily I think that's enough.
I don't agree with you too, we have to compare. If there are issues with us, we need to fix it for our better future. Imagine yourself in 16th century as an imperator, you would may be one of the most happiest person as an imperator but also remember current situation: Imperator where you have no electricity, pc, smartphone and etc or current one with this opportunities? They don't had request on such things, haven't seen such thing and were happy with that way but now when you saw better things, you won't feel happy without them while they would because haven't seen.
2499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know if a gambling site is scam or not? on: October 31, 2019, 08:31:02 PM
I wonder how you do your research if a gambling site is scam or not?

If they offer something unusual like very high deposit bonus and they have a moderated announcement thread here, they do this so people cannot complain that they are a scam in their announcement thread, third is, if they have been reported in the scam section old gambling site can be trusted more than a new one, but it's better to ask the community for feedback before depositing.
To be fair unusually high deposit bonus isn't indicator of whether website is scam or not because when new casino is launched, they try their best to gain attention of people and get as much customers from the start as possible. But on another I would have some doubts in casino which doesn't have ANN thread here and isn't mentioned somewhere.
Also another great indicator is to see scam accusation threads there, why they were opened and how they were solved, how often are scam accusation threads against casino and for what reason, reasons are what you have to dig for while researching.
2500  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi Nakamoto, here's an idea for you (if you are still out there): on: October 31, 2019, 08:17:35 PM

You are the genius behind Bitcoin and Blockchain or, to be more precise, behind its technological birth.

You could also be the genius behind its worldwide adoption. How?

By giving 10,000 Satoshi to every living human being on earth. Implementing this might be challening, but less so for a genius like you (I thought of an encrypted database where people can register with personal details, a means of identification and a Bitcoin address, allowing the Satoshi to be sent to them automatically and once only; but this is only a first idea and others might have better ideas). 

Either way... If every human registered and registered only once (of course, this is unrealistic), you would still own enough bitcoin to be (rightfully) a rich man / woman / group - and you would have secured your place in our history books not only for giving Bitcoin to humanity, but also for giving it to every single human being.

Ideas & critical responses are more than welcome! Moreover: Sorry if this idea has already been posted on the forum (a quick search didn't lead to any similar discussions).

At first please can you tell me how is that possible to give 10,000 satoshi to every living human being on earth? Don't you know how many people all over the world has access to computer and internet? I guess no, otherwise you would't say that.
Also despite the fact that satoshi created bitcoin, doesn't mean he is superhero that can do every thing. At first bitcoin isn't first cryptocurrency. Then satoshi created good and mysterious story around bitcoin which really played some part in making this coin popular and on the way where it is now.
