261  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will reach $100k within 5 years from now on: November 19, 2019, 04:03:28 AM
Its a long time to predict bitcoin price .There will be many thing happen in near future to the world .But the way the price is rising from the past years it quietly predictable that it could go this level in the next five years .We just need to buy and full our bag in low price so that we can be profitable.
Yes, that’s true and I think an investor should not have any concern with it but they only should buy as much as can today then make a plan and hold their coins for the long term. It’s certainly about crypto to see the huge price but as always said we will have to show patience and wait until we get our target. In 5 years the price of bitcoin will be high enough to give us a profit of 100k dollars and from recent, I can imagine 100k dollars in 4 or 5 years.
Bitcoin traders and long-term investors will certainly enjoy the results if in the next 4-5 years Bitcoin reaches $ 100k,
but don't think too much about the long term, we don't know how the future is, I'm worried about quantum computers from Google,
there are rumors that quantum computers in the future can to turn off Bitcoin, how terrible !,
Many users have been worried about quantum computers for a long time and even if a government or a private company developed quantum computers that could break the cryptography of bitcoin, the same will true for the cryptography of banks and other companies, but there are already algorithms that are resistant to quantum computers and if it came to that the developers will upgrade bitcoin and make it resistant to an attack by those kind of computers.

Too many "blockchain based" project nowdays for a quick pump&dump. A lot of potential in the new tokens but you have to find the right one.
No, there is almost no potential in any of the new coins, if the new projects were full of new experimental coins that may not last long but that actually were trying new ideas I can assure you the altcoin market will be full of investors trying to support the developers to their best of their ability, but what we see is a bunch of talentless developers creating the same coins over and over again, if you want to participate in pump and dumps be my guest but no investor with skill will invest in those projects.
263  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to control your emotions while trading?👨🏼‍💻 on: November 19, 2019, 02:46:42 AM
Maybe it sounds strange but you get used with time not to react on every negative price movement and potential loss. You learn how to asses and accept the risk and what are your limits. That comes with experience and you become aware that too much emotions you don't control brings you too much stress and potential bad decisions.
But emotion control comes with time unless you are naturaly ice cold.
It does not sound strange at all, it is known that when you are relatively new in an activity you will have a tendency to overreact to everything that happens but once you get used to it you will be able to remain calm even in the most difficult circumstances, as you can see being able to remain calm and take the best decision is something that can only be learned with time and through experience and not through books or videos no matter how many of those you read or watch.
264  Economy / Speculation / Re: One more dump before halving? on: November 19, 2019, 02:20:01 AM
The market has slowed down considerably and it doesn't seem like it is going to accelerate anytime soon, with that in mind I cannot see the price going above 10000 before the end of the year and it is likely that we will close the year with a negative trend, but no one should be too worried about it the halving is too close and this should be enough to attract enough investors so we can avoid another crash, but even then it is not going to be enough to get to another ATH.
If the market closes this year with $10k, I think that it is still a very big achievement considering what the market opened with at the beginning of the year, we would never have imagined that the value could have gone this high and the way the bear market was so dip, who would have also even imagined that bitcoin amidst all other altcoins could have make it this far.

It would have been so frustrating if bitcoin was still in the same position has those other altcoins that is giving us lots of frustrations are now. I do hope that bitcoin gets back to $10k this year ending and if it does, I dint think we should term that as it ending at negative trend, it is a fair value because it is 3x of what it started with at the beginning of this year.
One thing is what I would like to happen and another thing is what I think it will happen, if it was up to me I would love to see bitcoin going up in value right at the end of the year but look at what it is happening now, the market is going down again and it is very close to 8000, I believe that during the next days we will see bitcoin going below that price and during the next weeks we will see bitcoin struggling to maintain itself above 7000.
265  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Google possesses threat to bitcoin. What do you say? on: November 19, 2019, 02:01:32 AM
Does Google offer decentralized, censorship-resistant, deflationary currency? If no, then how can it be a threat to Bitcoin? People who value simplicity and convenience will stick to fiat methods, including google pay, but those who want to be in control of their own money will use Bitcoin, and no fiat payment method will make them change their decision. Decentralized altcoins are the only true competitors of Bitcoin, but they also have much smaller network security, questionable design choices and other problems.
This, neither Google or any other centralized entity is ever going to release something like bitcoin because it is not on their best interests, they will release coins or services which are highly centralized and in which they have complete control over their system, and if that is what people want then they are free to use it but people like us will never get rid of our coins because we can see the great advantages that bitcoin brings and that no centralized coin will ever bring.
266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How many ICO and IEO are you already following? on: November 17, 2019, 04:07:04 AM
Today I've decided to sell my car to invest in IEO or ICO.
Is my decision right?
Is it with a lot of investing in IEO can refund my money?

Well hopefully you didn't need that car much because depending on your research skills this is like taking a part of a lottery with your car money. But since you are not even interested of investing into existing cryptos, it makes me think that you might not know what you are doing and i highly doubt that you are getting enough returns, if at all.
If he was investing money in bitcoin or in an altcoin like ethereum even if I would disagree with the idea of selling something as important as a car to invest in an speculative asset of which he knows nothing I could understand it, but he wants to do all of this to invest in an ico or an ieo when we know the chances of success are less than 10%, and that percentage only applies if you have experience investing in this market already, since he is a newbie the chances of success are probably less than 5%.
267  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain Technology "bottled" up on: November 17, 2019, 03:44:48 AM
I think this is good news Coca Cola company uses the blockchain. most companies do not yet accept bitcoin as a means of payment but they will always accept the blockchain as a new breakthrough in technology. and I am optimistic that with the increasing number of large companies using blockchain it will encourage the adoption of blockchain and this will also encourage them to also accept or use bitcoin as a means of payment. there have been many large companies that accept bitcoin as a means of payment such as starbukcs, burger king, and others.

Most companies that accept Bitcoin use a processor that auto sells it for fiat. Which is not hurtful to the market, but it doesnt bring real utility to it.
I understand why a big company may need to do something like this but if a small business accepts bitcoin then why not take the risk and keep holding it, I know businesses have expenses and bills to pay but unless all their sales are on bitcoin and they need fiat then they could hold some of it, after all if they already took the risk to accept bitcoin in exchange for their services they might as well take the risk of holding bitcoin as well since it is a risk that could pay dividends in the future.
268  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: there are still many who invest in cryptocurrency? on: November 17, 2019, 03:22:09 AM
I think investors are now cautious about investing in ico / ieo because the risk is very high and the market situation is also not good. I do not know exactly where they invested but at the moment, I am investing in gold
It is not difficult to guess where investors in this market are putting their money, the answer is bitcoin, bitcoin is the only coin we can be completely sure it will have some value in the future, after trying their luck with icos and ieos for years and not getting results investors are using whatever money they have left to invest in bitcoin and only in bitcoin, I am sure those holding altcoins do not like this one bit but it was inevitable taking into account the terrible performance of icos over the years.
269  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WHAT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS GONE? on: November 17, 2019, 01:57:35 AM
This market moves so fast that being away for one year is the equivalent of being away for several years in other markets, if you had being holding bitcoin or other similar cryptocurrencies then you should be doing well since we saw an important recovery during the second quarter but most other coins have been doing badly, this is not surprising since there is no need to invest in such coins when bitcoin gave 3x during this year and many top altcoins gave something similar.
When I saw this market, I was already building the hate speech that I will give you until I saw that you were referring to bitcoin lol, because the only market that has fully been doing well is only that of bitcoin while altcoins are still very much stagnant, and stagnant is even still an understatement.

Most altcoins aside the top altcoins are seriously dying every day and it will take lots of energy for them to be revived again, so while he was gone, if he had invested in bitcoin as at that time during the bear market, I am sure he would have been back by now smiling because most of the investment in bitcoin that I did during that time he was away has really been a good one for me. I have made several profits within that space while the other altcoins are still struggling.
I was lucky then to not get that speech, but in all seriousness altcoins will have lots of problems to recover, it seems to me the trust that investors had in altcoins is lost and once that trust is lost there is not much to do, for a long time I have only invested in bitcoin and ethereum since I do not trust in any other coin, and while many may not like my strategy as it is too conservative it is also a great strategy since it saves me from all the losses I could get if I invested in unknown coins.
270  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buy now or wait for Bitcoin? on: November 17, 2019, 01:22:48 AM

It depends, if you have all the necessary knowledge and skills to trade then you do not need our opinion, do what you consider to be the best for you, and if that is not the case then you are not ready and it could be a good option to not get into this market until you are, it is understandable that you are excited to get in the market as soon as possible but those kind of emotions can be very damaging on the market, learn everything you need to know before you invest any of it and you will be fine.

If we are not ready financially, mentally, then it is better to be safe and not risking our money, especially if we don't have much, it's okay to take risk but it also depends on the situation, if you are just hoping that your money will be multiplied by 2 for you to pay debt or to buy things you want, then I think that you are not financially and mentally ready yet, so better to ask yourself first, are you ready to lose or wait for long term before investing.

Potential investors in my opinion get too excited to enter the market, even if we know the market can move really fast bitcoin needed more than a year to show any recovery, that is more than enough time to learn how to trade, from this moment to the next halving we have about 6 months and that is also a decent amount of time to learn how to trade, there is no need to rush your entry to the markets especially since a single mistake can be enough to suffer losses from which it is difficult to recover.
271  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Risks with using trading Signals on: November 16, 2019, 05:59:13 AM
Those that follow signals do not really understand the market, if you were to look at how the most successful traders around the world became that way you will see that no one follows the signals generated by others, they have their own way to tell what they market will do and then when the market moves in that way they enter the market not caring about what anyone else thinks and until you can do that then you are not really a good trader.
In my opinion, an experienced trader will never turn to the help of signals, because he already has experience and knowledge in order to analyze the cryptocurrency market and take the right actions based on the findings.  You are really right that all signals are primarily in demand among beginners or not too experienced traders who want to get a good income thanks to information that is easily accessible and in their opinion is too important.  But I believe that the action of the signals is aimed at manipulating a significant mass of traders for the sake of certain people.  This is how some groups and communities of speculators manipulate the market.
I also think this happens because people do not really want to work hard for what they want, everyone wants to be a trader because they are attracted by the profits and I do not blame them because the same happens to me, but they are not willing to make any effort to learn, then when they see they are not getting the results they want they look for the easiest solution they can find which is to try to look for signals that come from other traders and try to profit from them.
272  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Halving Effect??? on: November 16, 2019, 05:02:03 AM
Negative effect for miners since they will be having half of what they are getting from the bitcoin mining reward.

They are expecting the price to be doubled also since it must reach the need to pay for the electric bill that will be used for mining and some spare for necessities and other payments.
Maybe that is what you are looking forward to? The increase in price of bitcoin because it should still be equivalent to how much miners should make.
Miners do not dictate the price of bitcoin the ones that dictate the price are those that are buying it and selling it and they do not care at all about the miners costs, if the price goes down to the point it is not profitable for them to mine anymore then they have the option to stop mining for a while, this will make the remaining miners more profitable or they can decide to keep mining bitcoin with the hope that in the future the price will be higher and they can sell for a profit.
273  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: WHAT DOES A TRADER NEED? on: November 16, 2019, 03:47:14 AM
Reading in the forum most of the time can give surely an additional idea and knowledge about in trading, aside from keeping yourself update in any of the crypto news site. And as a trader you need to know also the proper attitude when you are in the actual trading platform too. and I think watching tutorial also might give you also a good idea too.

There's a lot of trading tutorials here and over the internet so there is no excuse for us not to learn trading especially if you really want to learn it. But, we can't learn trading if we will not start now, we should start now or else time will come we will regret for not studying trading at first when we still have time. We can do trading even during our spare time. This forum also helps not only in trading, but also technical discussion when we prefer doing mining too.
While you can find information about how to trade all over the Internet very few of those sharing that information actually trade for a living, so they do not really know what it is needed to make money in the markets, so when you begin to read information on the Internet always ask yourself this question, how does the person that wrote this article earns money? And if the answer is anything other than trading then look somewhere else since the odds you are reading junk information is high.
274  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buy now Bitcoin today on: November 16, 2019, 01:09:19 AM
Steady your analysis, and it's time to buy Bitcoins, I think the Bitcoin price movement will soon begin. I estimate the Bitcoin price increase this time will be higher than December 2017 Just wait.

based on what ?
did u have some trustable source about it ?
or that just your own speculation ? and what behind that your own speculation ? , because u know , i am kinda curious about it.
u know , i am just read many many article, and mostly said , even of halving btc on may 2020 , the price speculation just about 16-20k .
When someone makes a prediction like that I would like to see as well the basis for that analysis, but the longer you see those predictions regardless if you do it in this forum or other places they have the same thing in common, there is nothing to sustain those predictions and without that you cannot take it seriously, and with the price below 8500 and a very low volume I find it difficult to believe we could end the year above 10000 let alone a new ATH.
275  Economy / Economics / Re: Any ideas of what we lack in crypto world? on: November 16, 2019, 12:45:35 AM
What we are really lacking here is acceptance. If the government will accept cryptocurrency, they will make a move in order to fulfill what's other lacking like knowledge. If only the government will support crypto, they can include it in the curriculum so that students and millennials can learn and adopt cryptocurrency. If more people discover crypto, merchants will adopt to it. Making it an option for payments and such.
The only problem would be, non techy people and rural places. Well, it's not actually a problem since they can still choose not to adopt on it if they are not capable.
That is not really an option, governments are never going to adopt decentralized cryptocurrencies completely because it goes against their goals, and even more importantly it is never going to be included in the curriculum of schools so young people can learn about it, that is just a dream, if we want the market of cryptocurrencies to become more popular then we need to accept the fact that people will have to discover this market by themselves.
276  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: WILL CRYPTO BOOM AGAIN? on: November 15, 2019, 04:03:40 AM
the hardest thing to guess about this is the time. we might be able to speculate that the price of crypto will again go up high and be confident in that. however, the most difficult thing to determine is the time. besides that, other things that need to be dealt with are FUD, FOMO, and many other things that we need to prepare to wait for it.

So far, most speculation only says that the price of crypto will boom like 2017 in 2020.
If you are a trader that is definitely a problem since that is the most important decision you need to take, but for a long term holder that is a not an issue, even those that bought at 20000 can still recover their money, bitcoin came close to the all time high a few months ago and we will challenge it again during the next year, however most likely those that bought bitcoin at that price never had any intention to hold their coins and are now suffering the consequences of investing in bitcoin at the wrong time.
277  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you sell a million dollars bag of crypto? Would you trust exchanges? on: November 15, 2019, 03:08:34 AM
You can trust the exchanges you mentioned on that but looking at the amount, I think you will have to pass a high level of verification to be able to transact such amount of money on this exchanges.
Many are opposed to this because they have the firm opinion that you should not have to go through KYC when cashing out your coins, but if you want to exchange your coins for fiat you have no option but to play by their rules, but in the future once cryptocurrencies are accepted by everyone you could begin to cash out indirectly by buying all what you want with bitcoin directly instead of using fiat, once you can do that most people will not have any reason to exchange their bitcoins for fiat.
278  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to learn bitcoin trading? on: November 15, 2019, 02:46:02 AM
A lot of guys here suggesting watch youtube videos or read articles on how to trade. For me,  same with them but watch only the essentials, the basics! After that, you should start trading with a small amount of money. I believe that to learn how to trade, you need to experience trading fully. Keep on learning by experiencing it.

don't take trading signals, because what they share is not necessarily accurate.

Personally, I am applying some of the trading signals I see here on the web, and mostly they are working. But yeah, you will lose money on some signals. Nothing is accurate in terms of trading. But most of the signals are just based on the trend. For me, following the trend is a good thing with regards to trading because that is my basis when I am making a day trade.

Basically learn from everything. The tips that you'll see here are what works for the people giving out the tips. Videos, books, engaging in forums and discussions, you'll be able to pick up a lot from all these. Though i agree about trading with small amounts. What you'll learn from others won't have any effect if you don't apply and practice. Keep yourself aware of how it feels to lose. I think that's essential in getting your emotions ready for trading.
This is the approach that we should follow, you never know when you are going to learn an invaluable lesson about trading, this forum is a great example of that, I never imagined that I will learn about trading in the forum but you can read so many useful posts that it is opposite, if you pay attention you will learn many things about trading even if that was not your intention, however selecting a few books from which to learn is not a bad idea either.
279  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you use FB's Libra? on: November 15, 2019, 01:52:50 AM
They have over 2b registered users. It kinda worries me a little should they get a green light from the congress... to be absolutely honest with ya.
You do not really have to worry too much about it, Libra and Facebook have been losing partners since the project was revealed and this is not going to change, also no government is ever going to approve this project, and we know this because this is the reason bitcoin is a decentralized currency, there were attempts in the past to create a currency by private entities and all of those attempts ended in failure and the Libra project is not going to be an exception to this.
280  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Has Been Profitable for More Than 94% of its Existence on: November 15, 2019, 01:14:45 AM
I guess you're not the only one who regret's "dabbing" on bitcoin early. But we really don't think that bitcoin will go on like this, becoming one of the best speculative assets and turning to be profitable since its inception. However, we still have more time to accumulate BTC in our wallet and see how it goes in the next 10 years or so. You can also see the charts here:

https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Bitcoin_history
Those that talk about the profitability of bitcoin most of the time use the past tense to describe it and it seems they think the best days of bitcoin are behind us but I I disagree the best days of bitcoin are ahead of us, I'm sure that in the next decades people are going to lament not buying bitcoin when they had the opportunity to do it for less than 10000, and while many investors think that is an expensive price I'm sure that in a few decades that price is going to seem like a bargain.
