In all country's government, it is illegal to create another currency. Bitcoin, being a currency makes it illegal. It just so happens that it is a 190$B market that they need to accept it and subject it to regulation. The problem is, different countries have varying laws and thus makes it complicated to reach an consensus regarding global currency. Imo, it is impossible.

Full time trading; no competition. Although same can be said for the two, crypto-trading has more chances to stay longer as long as crypto-currencies are there unlike bounty hunting, if theymos decide one day to not let any projects advertise here in his forum, then bounty hunters are screwed for good.

Nasa accumulation period tayo ngayon. Tulad ng mga nakaraang taon, laging nagdi-dip ang price ng bitcoin sa january at nagsisimulang maging bull market ng mid-February. So, is this a good thing? yes. Hindi pwedeng laging parabolic ang chart ng bitcoin kailangan may pullbacks din.

Halos 500$ lang ang pumasok sa loob ng address na yan. Isipin mo kung legit nga yang nag-messege sayo bakit di nila i-track ung mga may milyon-milyon na bitcoin wallet nila? Bakit may oras sila para sa mga micro-transaction users? 100% scam yan, imo.

It can be manipulated indeed. A recent study proves that to be true. Partida hindi pa whales ang nagmannipulated dyan kundi mga bots. Anyhow, imo kung meron mang mga whales na magbebenta ng bitcoins nila, bababa talaga ung price. Pero syempre marami parin kasing supporters ang btc kaya tataas din agad yan after ng mga ilang araw.

Nakakaapekto rin ang kultura ng tao sa price ng bitcoin. For example, malapit na ang lunar new year. Kaya ang mga tao sa mga asian countries nagka-cash out ng mga crypto-assets nila para paghandaan ang nasabing okasyon. Tulad din noong december--christmas season-- from 19k$+ to almost 13k$ ang bitcoin dahil sa parehas na dahilan.

Investment-wise, ripple is a good choice. You can bet that banks would pump the sh*t out of this to siphon btc out of weak holders to increase their standing in the crypto market. However, due to my own personal opinion, ripple goes against the primary concept of cryptocurrencies--that is, decentralization.

Basically, these folks behind ethereum zero are just replicating (or trying to profit) the same way with bitcoin forks. Why not solve the existing problem--that is the issue with scalability?
We only need one blockchain in ethereum, and with this eventually, it will be considered as a shitcoin.

I would research more about TRX, I hear there's something going on with the code (some anomaly in the developer section), well I could be wrong but imo, it's just a coin with pure speculation--totally different with coins that are also speculation but has the technology or actual product to back it up like Electroneum. I would recommend looking into this coin, I reckon this coin is just one tweet away from pumping.

The bitconnect crash seems like an exit scam to me. They choose this time where the market are down altogether so they can blame the price slump to the issues(FUD) then. If people still buy this BS(bitconnectX) after all this, not to mention the timing of this ICO seems pretty convenient in line with bcc crash, they deserve to lose money.

It was never meant to take over dollar or any other fiat money, it's purpose was to be an option for the people who does not want their money controlled by any central entity.

I believe that the main function of bitcoin right now is to be a store of value. Those people in the 60% that don't have any access to computers probably don't have any 'values' to store in the first place so were are better off without them.

When you trade and you end up having less quantities of bitcoin even though you have more $ in your portfolio than your previous one, then you have lost a trade. Also try not to over trade so that trading fees will not eat up your profit.

Micromoney and EXRN are good coins. The former being a lending token with low supply and their platform will go live in May (based on the roadmap) and somehow, the team promises growth in terms of price by then. The latter has incredible potential if they could build their product. It's basically just a speculation for now, so it's up to you to take the risks.

I have only used cryptopia once but my trade went without a hitch! The only downsides about this exchange is that it is not that popular but other than that they are good in terms of technicality--these past weeks, they've been frequently undergoing maintenance..

I've been following that thread for a while, racist talaga yan si the pharmacist imo. Wala akong problema sa sinasabi nyang maraming pinoy na shitposter (kasi totoo naman) ang di lang ok eh --tulad nga ng sabi mo-- siningled out nya tayo. Lalo na dt member na sya, mas lalo nya pang gagamitin ung status nya dito para personalin mga pinoy.

anyway, goodluck sayo OP! hindi na ako magco-comment sa thread mo sa meta bka makagulo pa hehe

It can be reduced to some extent. I mean, with the public ledger, people will be able to see what the politicians are up to.  However, that does not automatically mean that they will be prosecuted. Law enforcers can still be bribed outside the blockchain.

Sometimes, I take profit from cryptos and pay bills with it. I am not particularly fond of buying things not usable to me so I end up reinvesting it to stock, mutual funds and bonds.

Kung titignan natin ung price noong nakaraang mga nakaraan taon (since 2014), lagi talagang may dip every january. Walang malinaw na dahilan kung ano pero ang hinala ko, malapit na ang lunar new year kaya maraming nagka-cash out para magprepare dito.

It's about time they crash and burn...I hope people would realize this now and stay away from a similar project that's lurking around the corner--Bitconnect X.

Cryptocurrencies were not meant to replace the usage of fiat, it was meant to serve as a complement--an option-- for the people to use. Imagine if we were to use only bitcoin in our society, with the scalability problem it has right now, the society will be in disorder.
