281  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum to go up or down? on: December 22, 2017, 06:13:26 PM
Now Ethereum will be grow very high. It will be start in beginning of the next year and to end its price probably achieve 1000 dollars. It is my speculations

It tends to go down now. The flow of capital is towards bitcoin, iota and monero now. The others are being sold in the market hard, like a crash actually. Pitty for such a good project like ethereum.

I agree that the ethereum will be at the beginning of 2018, 1000 dollars. But by the end of the year it's still too early to make a forecast, because its development will depend on many factors.
Let us not panic the festive season is here and with a few days to go before Christmas its expected that people will be buying gifts and the alike which needs cash to be spent & all crypto coins are affected by this holiday season.
282  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: [ICO][Bounty]: Official BitClave project bounty campaign thread (UPDATE) on: December 22, 2017, 10:33:02 AM
the token is already traded on Hitbtc and Cryptopia. I would like to know when payments will be made. The bounty is pretty generous ...
I'm afraid that by the time when they pay a bounty, the price immediately falls dramatically
Which is normal and once this happens the value of the coin grows naturally without any worries from bounties being dumped....but arent bounties as bad as bonus tokens???
283  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency are considered illegal? on: December 22, 2017, 09:50:56 AM
Hi everyone,
I've join the bitcoin world for 1 year and earn a little income from this wonderful place.
But, unfortunately, when I talk about this to my parents, they all said this is the illegal money and I have to quit it before getting trouble with the government. Truly, even the main TV news program in my country said that, national banking system will banned bitcoin from any payment and there will be an punishment for that.
In my opinion, Bitcoin and crypto. still have its advantages and could be helpful if we use it for the good purpose.

What do you think, how can I explain to my parents? some article would be great. Thank you all!
If your parents are against bitcoin better listen to them especially if you are still under their roof, and if your government does not permit the use of cryptocurrencies better stay away from bitcoin for now as they might reverse these decisions in the future for you to enjoy crypto and the only way to convince your parents about bitcoin is positive news from credible media houses like bbc or something.
284  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Ethereum a bubble? on: December 21, 2017, 05:55:05 PM
Surprisingly results from the poll are almost even which am certain eth is not a bubble yet, but in my opinion, I think bitcoin ethereum is showing steady growth like a normal crypto coin unlike the suggested bubble which is far from that...once eth gets to be in a bubble $1000 should not be a problem
285  Economy / Economics / Re: Facebook accepts Bitcoin? on: December 21, 2017, 07:41:59 AM
Probably this is still a rumour checked latest companies accepting bitcoin payments and facebook did not make the cut, link here>
https://99bitcoins.com/who-accepts-bitcoins-payment-companies-stores-take-bitcoins/ but maybe in the future this could be possible.
286  Economy / Economics / Re: Where do you spend your money from Bitcoin? on: December 18, 2017, 07:06:32 AM
am just starting to build my self a mining rig so I dedicate part of the funds I make from bitcoin to buy at least 1 or 2 graphics cards to mine altcoins. am hoping I can get to a tera hash or a petra hash of power for the best results....hope in the future i can save some money up to get some antminers
287  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: How do I find out where my two Ethers are? on: December 17, 2017, 11:30:07 PM
40 days is a long time and you might have just forgotten that you sent the funds to a different address other than the one you have provided here??

Or you could check from the holding address that received the ether before sending it out to try and track where your eth was sent, good luck
288  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Diamond (BCD) vs Bitcoin (BTC) on: December 17, 2017, 11:13:07 PM
Do you think Bitcoin Diamond has any chance? Seeing what Bitcoin Cash did latelty, it gives me hope with the latest forks.
What do you think?
The only bitcoin altcoin that is starting to have an active community is bitcoin cash and having another bitcoin in the form of bitcoin gold is really something that will end up dividing the community but when it comes to choosing the real bitcoin bitcoin(BTC) remains the father of all cryprocurrencies undisputedly.
289  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it safe to participate in ICO's? on: December 17, 2017, 10:07:40 PM
Right now there are many ICOs coming out, is it really safe to participate in any of it and spend that much?
All potential and current investors by now know that they need to do some research of their own before they invest money in an ICO and the worst part of it is these projects are unregulated and anybody can create an ico which shouldnt be the case.

In participating ICOs I have high hopes that these coins could be the next Bitcoin or other currencies that are really going up in the market.
Of course this possibility is there thats why we need to keep supporting those projects that have the potential to fill bitcoins shoes.
290  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are they afraid of bitcoin? on: December 17, 2017, 09:36:27 PM
They are afraid of bitcoin because their centralized system in place is been dumped for a decentralized currency like bitcoin, and losing support to bitcoin would make it difficult to find new customers as bitcoin has support coming from all corners of the world.
Old people don't know anything
I thought old people are the financially stable beings who are actually turning out to be the angel investors
291  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Worried about btc future on: December 17, 2017, 06:35:20 PM
The major problems if the currency still haven't been dealt with. I see 2 major ones:

-Block size. Which makes the delay and fees of transaction rise very fast. Smaller transactions are more and more difficult to make.
-The centralization of the market. China got low cost electricity, which make them by far the most bitcoin mining capable.
I do not think the market is centralized, look at how the price spiked up when bitcoin futures was launched, every market has a role to play in the bitcoin ecosystem.

Another thing: The Hard forks that are oddly getting much more frequent than before. (BCH, BTG, Segwitx2 etc...) It almost looks like "attacks" in order to divide us. Now called "airdrops" by the community. Even though they're supposed to solve some of the problems.
On the contrary should one of these bitcoins prove to be a working product the dev can easily fork the  main bitcoin network to get this all under control

All in all, this makes me really worried about btc future. I've been a strong holder since 2014, and I made quite a lot of money with bitcoins, but I begin to doubt now, even though the price is crushing ATM. Please help me keeping faith. Or should I switch to another currency ? Really thinking about ETH recently.
With its continued growing adoption devs are certainly under pressure to give us a product that is fully working and at the moment bitcoin is a work in progress that needs all stake holders consensus to be worked on and perfected
292  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why BTC value is growing day by day ? on: December 17, 2017, 03:53:51 PM
It's because more and more people are buying bitcoins while hodlers keeps on holding and there where the law of demand and supply enter.
Well said and if the number of bitcoin users who hodl are more than the people trading then the price will automatically spike up... which seems to be the case here and the opening up of bitcoin futures on Chicago Board Options Exchange has also being a major contibutor to the growing price of bitcoin.
293  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin fees so high? on: December 17, 2017, 11:38:07 AM
why has the bitcoin fee for each transaction recently been so high?
Because the demand for bitcoin has increased greatly and people are priotising their transactions by setting high fees which as lead everyone to follow.

It was easier to send 10-15 usd before but these days the fees are more than that.
Any wallet which takes less fee?Im fine with delayed confirmation.
You will only take advantage of such services if you are sending the bitcoins on the same platform with little to no fees and with the high miner fees bitcoin is best used to send larger amounts of money than sending small amounts like 20 dollars.
294  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Graphic] Bitcoin vs. The Government. on: December 17, 2017, 09:58:30 AM
The character in the the bottom right corner does not make much sense though--"you are forced to consume the little they offer" someone explain this.

Nice graphic work by the way, this can be used to help people easily understand what bitcoin really is all about and not the misconception of illegal doings.
295  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Etherdelta Gone ?!?!?! on: December 17, 2017, 09:18:26 AM
I tried withdrawing with etherdelta but it says that I don't have the required balance.

I saw the chat and lots of people are experiencing this issue.

Someone knows what's happening ? Are they gone ?
Network has greatly improved of late but a few days ago the platform was unusable for several hours and the cryptokitties saga did affect etherdelta but  looks to have been put under control and I noticed there is now a minimum amount of ethereum you need to have for you to move your tokens back and forth to execute a trade. Just used it a few minutes ago ED is fully functional.
296  Other / Archival / Re: How to earn ETH from Cryptokitties on: December 17, 2017, 04:33:53 AM
By selling your kittens offspring or renting them out or just straight buying/selling (trading) them. The better the generation number and the traits the more expensive they become.
The whole idea is good but I think the devs are feeding off the hunger of cryptonians hunger to have a bag load of any coin they can get their hands on .

It's a terrible game if you ask me but i guess everyone is only playing it to make money so it figures why it's so popular. Some kitty sold for  over 100k already the other day! 
The sales are off the chat will try to get into this game, just might get lucky Wink

Here's a goood read with some information about it : http://mashable.com/2017/12/04/how-to-play-cryptokitties/#qhWGD7i7Ksqu
Thanks for the share the article is well written.
297  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could Argentines crash Bitcoin at the end of December because of a new tax? on: December 16, 2017, 10:52:24 PM
This is far from happening and i do not think Argentines are as tech savvy as the likes of china a country we thought could crash the bitcoin market with the number of crypto supporters it has but never did.

Their tax system is going to affect crypto users there but how will they get everybody using bitcoin....their just trying to cause panic nothing else.
298  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Google results show more people searching for Bitcoin than gold on: December 16, 2017, 10:33:29 PM
With the current price bitcoin is fetching, people have all the reasons to search and reserach more about this digital currency and the number of impressions will keep increasing everytime bitcoin reaches an all time high.
I believe I never searched for gold on google and this most likely will apply to the 90% of the internet users... Nonentheless btc is a trending topic all around the world
I certainly fall under that 90% of the users that do not google search gold
299  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: The latest threat of bitcoin users on: December 16, 2017, 06:18:18 PM
This threat has been known for some time by the community now, which is why its important to always make it a habit that we always double check wallet addresses are not replaced by this trojan(CryptoShuffler), just wonder if this affects bitcoin wallets only. I hope Kaspersky Labs itself is able to detect and protect our computer systems from such malware.
300  Economy / Economics / Re: what will happen to banks? on: December 16, 2017, 05:42:33 PM
Since banks profit from fees and blockchain will kill fees, my guess is banks will be negatively impacted.
Some banks are already stepping into the blockchain world.
But blockchain will not bring back the profits as otherwise.
Any thoughts?
The blockchain does kill certain services that banks offer and as far as I know we still need banks for services like loans based on physical collateral, availability of a credit rating and also help a way to cash out to fiat and the only way they will compete with other cryptocurrencies is to adopt the blockchain technology and maybe consider issuing their own cryptocurrencies.
