281  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Thailand Legalize Crypto currency on: July 03, 2018, 09:09:39 PM
It's interesting that some countries which banned cryptocurrencies are now turned to be a friendly. Anyway, this is good news because while huge cryptocurrency user countries are turning against cryptocurrencies. Still we see countries opened and embrace cryptocurrency like Thailand. Bitcoin could affect their tourism a bit i think. It's more on investment. But surely it will help their citizens for this decision. Still the government should educate people there. So the citizens will be aware what is cryptocurrencies and how it works.
282  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 2.3 million Bitcoin [BTC] addresses monitored by clipboard hijacking malware on: July 03, 2018, 08:56:55 PM
Wow, that was huge amount of Bitcoin. That malware infects many computers years ago. I still remember the time when a malware which hijacked companies which extorted millions of dollars from victims.
But still many victims reported about their lost funds because of this. We are responsible from what we lost. We should protect our device from any harmful malware which hacks informations causing funds to be stole by hackers. Proper antivirus and regular scanning is a must when you are holding a crypto wallet. We still don't have the tool to trace. So still the end users is the responsible for what they loss.

That's a good sign that Bitcoin will rise slowly as capital is starting to pour in the market. But we should be careful also. Maybe it is just a bulltrap created by whales.
But this is a good news anyway. But still far from what i loss. I loss 80% of my portfolio.
Still im a very optimistic guy. Always positive. This small rise of Bitcoin should continue. But something's keeping Bitcoin from rising. Maybe people are still wary about the uncertainty of regulations of other countries about cryptocurrencies. But im pretty sure once tge government introduce the regulations.
284  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: decentralized exchanges are safe? on: July 02, 2018, 10:29:14 PM
Nope. Not really. Since DEX(decentralized exchange) is allowing you to hold your own crypto. You are vulnerable to attacks like hacking and other attacks which leads you to losing your money. While centralized exchange holds the funds and they are taking care of it. Anyway, im not saying centralized exchanges are not vulnerable from attacks. Actually we see some of them were hacked and stole the funds. But good thing is, the investors are secured. The exchange is obliged to recover the money or they might face criminal case.

Anyway, these are the advantages and disadvantages of DEX

Pros
1. user control their own funds - since it's decentralized, the trader is not storing the funds to the DEX itself. The trader is the one who's responsible for his/her funds
2. anonymous - DEX allows you to trade anonymously because it won't ask for your identity.
3. No trading fees
4. no personal documents to apply for anonymity.

Cons

1. not for beginner- it's not easy to use compared to centralized exchange
2. basic features
3. User is vulnerable from hacking since the user uses only his/her own device to store the funds.
285  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: You guys ready for the running of the bulls!!? on: July 02, 2018, 10:00:58 PM
Meh. I doubt any crypto can create a bullish trend. The volume of market capital is very low to make it bullish. We know Bitcoin is the one that pumps first before the altcoins. So if you see an altcoin having a large volume. It can be a fake volume caused by whales to lure gullible traders to jump in to that crypto. That is very risky. I am once a victim of that crap. I won't belive any altcoins to rise unless huge capital is poured to the marketcap. Right now, for me it's not the best time for any altcoins to pump. But try to accumulate more for scalping.

Best time to buy right is no other than Bitcoin. It because it's the one that pumps first. Once you dump it, then pour your money to altcoin because they will sold btc for altcoin. That's the normal cycle of crypto trading. But since we are at bear market. Just bitcoin for now.
286  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Will you guys check out my Bitcoin news site and let me know what you think? on: July 02, 2018, 09:46:02 PM
You should work on everything on your site. It's pretty basic and that's what makes your site not so interesting. It looks like a site from darkweb. It is old school. You should work on lay out for the style and other important stuffs like real time price check of Bitcoin and other Crypto. You should categorized also the news if it is for altcoin or Bitcoin. I saw few advertisements on your site. You know, you can maximize that. There's a lot of space.

You should work on everything to compete with top searched crypto news portals.
Also don't hesitate on adding unique features on your site which makes your site different from the other.

There is the section called press release in this forum itself mate. I see the investors mostly go with the news website like Coindesk or Cointelegraph mate.

If you want the people to see your news you need to share those news even you need to active on press release section and make new thread everytime when there is any new news on the crypto news site.

Yup, this is true. Good thing we have press release section which you can advertise your site.
Just make your report original and not just copy-pasted from the other site. Other top crypto news site pays for advertisements. I you want it to be popular. Then you must hire a campaign manager for that.
287  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018/07/02] Philippines’ Economic Zone Creating Crypto Regulations on: July 02, 2018, 09:26:03 PM
I think 25 is fine i think. Actually that number of exchanges is high. We only 3-4 exchanges existing today in the Philippines as far as i know. One thing i hate is, the media here is giving cryptocurrency a bad image which gives fear to people. That's why Philippines is getting left behind in terms of progress. I agree also about anti scam regulations. They must secure investors from losing their money because of scammers. ICOs are the biggest scam factory right now. So they must focus on that. Asset backed ICOs are fine to me. At least you won't get worry about the ICO since it's an asset backed project.

This step of Philippines will give security to its citizens. I believe one day Philippines will be like Korea in terms of adoption and popularity of cryptocurrencoes.
288  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much damaged bitcoin has brought you? on: July 02, 2018, 09:06:32 PM
I have loss almost 80% of my portfolio. This is why im so disappointed for this bear market.
Its been months and i have not seen any improvement of it. But still not giving up. Being a trader is tough. Sometimes you're on top and sometimes you're on the ground. You have to be a risk taker. Right now i don't really mind losing 100% of my portfolio. Im loss already. I have nothing to lose now. I just keep holding it until the market recovers again. Still have high hopes Bitcoin can bounce and able to surpass its ATH.

289  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-06-28] Cryptocurrency to Fiat Transactions Remain High in the Philippines on: July 01, 2018, 09:53:03 PM
Not new to me at all. Bitcoin here in the Philippines is very well appreciated by the citizens here. Though the government warned us about investing in to this kind of investment, people are aware now about what could possibly happen to their money. That's why transactions of crypto to fiat are not far from other crypto friendly countries. But still, most  of the population is not widely accepted cryptocurrencies because people here think that it's just a modus.

Philippines is crypto friendly country. On adoption, just need to push some more because actually on few know cryptocurrencies. But im satisfied now because Coins created local exchange which allowed us to trade. My country can stand alone now. I have not used it though.
290  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: big altcoins losses (BTG 92% Down) on: June 30, 2018, 11:37:47 PM
Bitcoin gold is 92% down since dezember its speeds up its halfing much faster than bitcoin,

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-gold/

Well, that sucks. Bitcoin gold declined so huge and so as everyone. Altcoin market is dead while Bitcoin is trying to revive. But the drop make BTG almost worthless. 92% is insane!

Quote
But with bitcoin gold declinging why shouldnt bitcoin decline?

Bitcoin declined too. But BTG is different from BTC. BTC have large amount of supporters and BTG is just a forked coin from BTC and in terms of popularity, BTG is not that popular. Most of the forked coins from BTC for sure declined huge also. And many forked coins from BTC will pop out soon. But BTC still the king and they will fail to replace it. Anyway, BTG can recover. The volume just not enough to make it rise. Once huge volume of capital pour to the market. Expect the surge of it and other altcoins in the market.
291  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why bitcoin will drop to $1000 and why we should be happy about it. on: June 30, 2018, 11:03:00 PM
I will be happy if it dropped to that amount and im going to accumulate more of it. But how about those who bought at its peak. I don't think they will be very happy if their money is gone. Anyway, i think Bitcoin will never drop to that amount as Bitcoin is now on mainstream. Unless Bitcoin is banned worldwide and the only choice is to use the darkweb. If that happens, i think Bitcoin is going to that amount and even the death of Bitcoin.
292  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Does signature campaign really help to promote an ICO ? on: June 30, 2018, 10:37:30 PM
This forum is the most visited crypto related stuffs and this forum have huge community which see the project. So this is effective in terms of advertising ICOs. That's why we see tons of bounty programs and almost everyday we see new bounty for advertising their ICO. Most of the top altcoins came here first. Like Ripple, Qtum, IOTA, Ethereum and many more. So no reason to doubt what this forum can do to any project. It's up to the promoter how their project will succeed to its goal.

Signature campaign i think is effective when you hire many participants. 100 members and above is ideal number to promote the project. 25 posts per participant per week is huge. Also, i think this is more affordable advertising than promoting it outside the forum. Signature campaign also is unique that other forums are trying to imitate it. But this forum is a very huge.
293  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Sonm (SNM) price speculation in light of mainnet launch (30th June) on: June 28, 2018, 01:08:34 AM
I think it will rise a bit. Just like what happen to TRON. This crypto is too hyped but the result is not so good. Many investors were very disappointed. I think it's because there's not enough volume to entire marketcap to pour into it. Maybe the same scenario could be possible or maybe im wrong because SONM is different from TRON. But don't listen to hype and lower you expectations because some times what we expect can be contrary to the results.
294  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: TRON ( TRX ) to the moon on: June 27, 2018, 10:50:02 PM
TRX is a good altcoin. I think it's the one of the stable cryptocurrency in market right now. Though i have not seen any huge pump since January. I think it's because of the bearish market. Most of the coin suffered from it while TRX remain strong and stable. This is the sign of strong community. Justin Sun is a good leader too. Though im not agree on him sometimes. Like the token burn and other lies and stuffs. But he is working hard to get some partnerships to make this project alive. This is a ten year project. Let's wait and see how far this project could go.
295  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Good or bad idea!!!! on: June 27, 2018, 10:26:05 PM
Both is a good idea as you should invest your money while you can so you are set later and don't have to worry if you want to retire. Crypto is still new compared to stock so the risk is definitely higher but that means the return is higher aswell as you can see from the last bull run. If you are more conservative type then stock is better.

That's why they always say this saying that "don't put all your eggs in one basket". This is really true. In trading cryptocurrencies we only base our trades through speculative manner which is more riskier than traditional market which is stock markets. So if you don't feel comfortable at trading cryptocurrencies. Why don't you do them both? Cryptocurrency trading and share/stock market. Actually there are now share markets which offers crypto at their market. E-toro for example, they allowed trade stocks to crypto. Also NASDAQ will soon add crypto to their market. But i think they will be too selective on crypto they want to add.
296  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are you trading on? on: June 27, 2018, 09:51:46 PM
What are you guys trading on the most?

Anyone using the Bitcoin to trade stocks like 1Broker? Or mostly trading BTC markets? Or Altcoins?

I have an account at 1broker. But it's harder trading altcoins in the market. That's why i prefer altcoin trading than trading at stocks market. But due to months of bear market, i stopped trading for now and i just hold my bitcoins so i won't lose it in case of sudden drop. But if you want safer trade. Choose BTC/USDT pair. Day traders do this so they could get decent profit even the market is dead. Just a small fluctuation you have gains. Trading altcoin/BTC is very profitable if the market is bullish. But on bearish market like this, once you lose in your altcoin and Btc also drops. It's 2x loss for you.
297  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Time for that Long? on: June 27, 2018, 09:33:15 PM
We dipped below 6k on the weekend. What do you guys think, is it a bottom this time and it is time for epic Long?

Personally I felt like it was the bottom at 8k at 7k and multiple times already at 6.7k and at 6.2k, so I am wary about calling it a bottom again just to see it drop another 500   Lips sealed

That's depend on news we are going to see this week. If it's just FUDs. No doubt, market will react and create a drop of its price. Many are posting their speculations and they'd even post some analysis with graphs and stuffs about their prediction. But most of them failed. This is only means that Bitcoin is hard to predict. So i don't believe even a professional analyst because no has the ability to know what exactly could happen to its price. Also the manipulation of the whales is what's keeping Bitcoin from dropping. It's like a pattern. We Bitcoin rising and sudden it drops. Anyway, im just here. Patiently waiting and hope table will turn for us and recover our losses.
298  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Increased bitcoin users will increase internet usage affecting health of all on: June 27, 2018, 01:15:13 PM
This is true. Bitcoin uses technology like computers, phones and other gadgets which we can monitor our Bitcoin. Technology is making our lives more easier. But there are consequences for using technology. We are exposed to radiation from our phones and computers. Of course we want to monitor the price of Bitcoin from time to tiime like what's day traders do when they are trading. Without proper rest, this may affect their health if they do this very often. Im aware about this. That's why im balancing everything. Exercise and proper sleep should not be forget. Anyway, it's interesting how Internet affects the health of a man.
299  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Who do people dump tokens below ICO price and how can this be stopped? on: June 27, 2018, 08:06:19 AM
There's nothing you can do when people who bought on ICO price started to sell their tokens. Who do not want an easy money. It's hard to stop them. That's why it's up to team of the ICO how they distribute those tokens. Some ICOs giving large portion of their supply to their bounty programs which i think the reason of sudden drop of the price. Anyway, this is normal. Sell out always happen to any coins/tokens in the market. Distribution of tokens should be equal. So the price won't be easily drop. But this is not gonna happen. It's because of whales are buying huge percentage of the supply. The ICO team should distribute evenly and they should set a maximum amount that investor should get.
300  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Will you trade Bitcoin to buy Altcoins? on: June 26, 2018, 10:05:49 PM
I was looking at the possibility of investing in several Altcoins as part of my trading by selling off Bitcoins. I do feel that with proper planning and execution, the profits that could be reaped through these Altcoins by day trading in a week would be far superior to that of Bitcoin.

Yes, trading altcoins is far more superior than trading Bitcoin alone. That's why some of the traders preffered trading altcoins. It could be give you 10x fold or even more by doing it. Anyway, it's not ideal to trade BTC/altcoin pair right now because of bearish market. Because once the altcoins and BTC falls. You loss 2x. You'll fall even more. So right now, the best thing to do is to trade on BTC/USDT pair. But you can still trade altcoin/BTC pair. But this bearish market can only give you atleast 5%-10% of profit. I think it is not that huge. So trade with precaution.

But will this not be a way to make decent income every day? When you invest in cryptocurrency, it is a need for one to continually observe the market trends. When one is able to understand the intricacies of the market then it is better that he takes up (day) trading.

Of course, you must have the knowledge to make your trades profitable. If your good enough to read and analyze the market trends. Surely, it can give a decent profit.
