2941  Local / Pilipinas / Re: China ang dahilan ng pag-angat! BITCOIN! on: December 04, 2019, 11:25:23 PM
China was the reason on why BTC pumped to $10,000 and they are also the reason why the price dump now. (no effect at all, its like even).

Not litterally china but it was the news, it's just that people are just speculating too much,
when China announce they will make use of the blockchain to develop it, people reacted and thought it would affect the crypto market.
however, its wrong, China are still in a crack down of cryto exchanges and just recently the news about Binance office was shut down by china authorities were the hottest news and the price pump.

What i suggest is we should be careful with our move, we should not easily get FOMOd or listen to FUD.
Porket ba nag labas ng article about sa bitcoin ang dahilan kaagad ng pagtaas nito ay ang China? Hinde po ganun yun! Hinde po nila fully control ang price ng bitcoin at wag na wag kayo basta mag titiwala sa mga news na lumalabas online kasi minsan dito nag kakaroon ng Fear of missing out na kadalasan rason kung bakit madami naluluge sa pag tratrade.
Regardless of this news, alam naman natin populous ang China so why not consider them as the most cryptocurrency user in terms of number diba? Hindi rin naten maikakaila yung influence ng China pagdating sa mga teknilohiya, in fact malaking bilang ng bitcoin miner ay nasa China. Pero kahit ganon hindi pa rin talaga sapat na sabihing tumaas ang presyo ng bitcoin dahil sa China. Bitcoin's price is a result of mass speculation kahit kanino pang influence yan hindi talaga nacocontrol yan kaya minsan yung iba nagiging FOMO type na invtesor and trader.
2942  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Question about vindax on: December 04, 2019, 06:23:28 PM
I read several media that almost all exchange have fake volume, as well as Vindax there is a blog that reviews fake volumes so that Vindax can get an IEO project. source https://www.criptomonedaseico.com/en/news-en/vindax-scam-the-manipulation-of-trading-volumes-of-the-exchange/

That takes a nerve for Vindax and other exchanges to do that. Is there any government law that can put sanction on this one? It's not totally fair for the user especially those who are blinded with high volumes. I thought IEO could take the place of ICO as project offerring now that I came to read this, it totally change my opinion.

I myself have never traded on this exchange, here is a thread about the same question, you can read some replies that are not good enough about vindax https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5181051.0

I don't even know this exchange. I never come across this one. But with the same threads accussing it as a scam exchange is already a proof of it being one of scam exchange. Ridiculously unfair.

if in doubt it would be better not to trade on the exchange.
I don't know why there are projects that chooses a cheaper coin listing like on this exchange, your coin does not deserve to fake its volume just to look bad ass. such a crap.
2943  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I am not lucky in trading - what am I doing wrong? on: December 04, 2019, 05:37:02 PM
it's actually normal on trading scene where everything is not turning like you have expected, you might say A stuff but it's going to be B and most of us are experiencing the same kind of result everyday, i think it would just better to not taking your emotion when taking a decision just use your open mind.
Good advice, emotions not need to bothered you in order to continue moving forward, the market most of the time is against our expectations but learning  how to adjust and how to react accordingly is very important.
High emotion quotient (EQ) do really helps on establishing a proper discipline in trading, and so knowing your emotion response with what you.are doing is a must. Dealing with market should be emotionless but rather a technical, we will get into the point where we question ourselves if we are doing wrong and that is just a natural event knowing that we are just human. Reaction must based on what you did, not on what you expected.

If you are really eager to learn time will come and let you understand how things works and how you should prepare not only one but multiple strategy to work for you.
Another thing is with strategy, we might find a strategy that works almost all of the time but don't be fool by that, there are strategies that would be beneficial if it aligns your attitude in trading. Do not stick with fundamentals just because you're gaining with it, try to formulate your own or copy other's style but make sure that you are developing all throughout.
2944  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the weirdest thing you have seen for sale for Bitcoin? on: December 04, 2019, 04:40:47 PM
Hard to imagine but that really happens in reality. Those people who really buys stuffs like that (who would even buy used panties?) for me are sick. Because if you're in you're right mind you don't have any reasons to buy such thing. Maybe those people are like of "obsessed", if they're just buying panties that is used by a single person, or they just like to collect used panties?
There are many this so called "sick" people in this world actually and I'd consider people buying panties as a more sane level because some people are just too wicked and for example traficking human. You need to know that some people have obsession as you said and some of them are too obsessed they can't life without it or they will a hard time living without it. Some people usually collecting panties because they are pervert and there's some other reason which could be called mental illness.
There are people whose fetish is a material thing, and we call that a obsession. I'm really shocked when I read something about this fetishism that people are buying weird things online, take note that they are paying in form of cryptocurrency mainly btc. I often see rare/endemic animals being sold online believing there is a charm on that animal. Although it is not our thing to care for them as long as they are paying with their own money isn't it, aside we can't blame them for buying stuffs like panties, under garments and whatnot but the fact that they are trading their bitcoin with these stuffs is totally ridiculous. I can't even buy myself a clothe in thinking of, Icould buy a lot of it tomorrow when the price comes up!   Cheesy
2945  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have there been any money laundering schemes that used cryptocurrency? on: December 04, 2019, 04:02:49 PM
People might have been doing that in the early years but one thing I can say that with the government regulations especially with the KYC being implemented by most of the exchanges it would be extremely difficult for people to launder money and evade taxes with cryptocurrencies anymore
Correct. The very reason why exchanges these days are implementing KYC on their users, I've seen some exchange who doesn't have KYC but is now announcing that they'll have as soon as possible. Fraud and money laundering have been a problem since then, Criminals are taking advantage of the use of cryptocurrency as it hides their identity making it easier to transact globally. Another trigger why did the government tell exchanges to have KYC is because of tax evasion from the businesses owners, instead of fiat they are using crypto to avoid paying taxes which the government didn't like. Now the money laundering has been addressed, what the exchange should be doing now is to improve their system to avoid hacking occurrences.
2946  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Are Women Slowly Leaning On To Crypto Trade? on: December 03, 2019, 06:15:12 PM
Anyone can depend or learn on to cryptocurrency trading because there is no required specific gender in order to trade. Whether it is a man or woman, as long as he/she is willing to learn how to do trading then they can do it and make profit with it. It is just women are now slowly getting competitive against men and they are now exploring that the men are doing so it is expected for me to see women learning and leaning on to crypto trading.
Only in east it is happening while in western countries women are standing step by step with men and they are learning in the same ratio as men. In eastern countries they are learning slowly because majority of them are house wife and they give more time in managing the house and their kids. If we will give modern education to these countries and will tell them that women also need the same value as men then we can change that difference.
I have to disagree on this. Do you have basis on this claim saying there is a ratio of men and women learning the same thing? Regardless of the place/country women are trying to break the culture of being under the nature of men. Even on cryptocurrency, what makes you good on this space? being a man? No it ain't. You have this mindset cause you only see man as the working person in the family. Whether Eastern or western country, you should respect women.

Your post looks like degrading the value of women from the east, really. You shouldn't be spitting stuffs like this especially to a certain group of person. This is just completely wrong for me.
2947  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Maybe satoshi is dead on: December 03, 2019, 05:29:33 PM
I don't think he is dead although, if I were him, I would have cashed out a few of the BTC he's holding in Dec 2017  Grin
Everyone wished they could have sold their bitcoins in 2017 and did not expect more of the price that went bad the next year. There is really no accurate information of who really Satoshi Nakamoto is, some says it's most likely Finney, some says it is Wei Dai in disguise. Regardless of who he is, where he is I think he will be proud of himself knowing what bitcoin has grown in the past years.

Yeah, he's most likely a single individual and also most likely dead, but we don't know for sure. The coins attributed to him (that he may have mined in the early days) have not moved.
Seeing those unmoved coins, seems like he never really run after the money but the financial revolution. I really wanna know him and thank personally If only he would do. Maybe he's dead because of this or not becase his intention was not about the money.
2948  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What the Crypto Markets Are Saying About the Future of Bitcoin on: December 03, 2019, 03:56:29 PM
The problem is everyone is too focused on what the price of bitcoin at the moment, it needs to be straightened out so that there is no repeated panic. Everywhere always discusses the price of bitcoin dropped, when the price of bitcoin rises, and the like that refers to the panic question. 
I am very sure that if we can use bitcoin as an aspect of life, the price will reach stability, besides that many countries have started to adopt the blockchain which means it shows a positive thing for cryptocurrency.

Everyone is focused on the price because it's so volatile. Losing 20% of value in a month makes people nervous (normal currencies barely move 2% in a month). Until this volatity stops, bitcoin will continue to be a fringe asset rather than a mainstream currency.
The volatility of bitcoin is much higher on the other cryprocurrency that is why price is the basis of the most people. Most people sees bitcoin as an investment and we totally cannot do anything about it, it is just that they are not here for the revolution but just for the money obviously. Talking about stability that will take so long to the point that we are all dead, by 2140 when all bitcoin is mined the stability of price might come true yet it still depends on the people that time. Now I just follow the trend, I don't prioritize bitcoin as means of trading but rather an investment especially now that 2020 is approaching, speculation for the price to increase is much anticipated.
2949  Economy / Economics / Re: BEEN IN THIS GAME FOR 6 YEARS on: December 03, 2019, 03:14:38 PM
its almost 4 years now since I came across Bitcoin, I have done faucets,hyips, mining, lending investment, join ICOs, do bounties and trade up until now. But I admit 2018 was my first time to experience that drastic fluctuation in Bitcoin price and really lost a lot because of being unable to understand what is happening.

IF you had even invested later in the downfall you would have made Money as btc has crossed 10k again and it had fallen till 3200$ around . Those who believe in it would have definitely invested and hosted it and have become rich now .
This year it gives good return to investors if they sell at the right timing, not only $10K but $13 as that was the high this year so far.
For now, BTC is just trading at $7300 but its possible to rise to $10K again, actually what we just need is to believe and just wait for the right timing.
its easy to find a good opportunity to buy and sell if you have the patience and trust on bitcoin.

did btc ever reached 13k usd this year ? sorry but i forgot it . it maybe long enough , but what i only see is the price usually stays at 10k usd and below   . timing like what you said is still a key to earn even on these low tides
I'm not sure about it, but as far as i know the highest it went this year is about $9000.  Bitcoin behaves so silent this year at stays the price at a very short range, just recently it decreased so bad I did not able to buy until it recovers. That could've be the timing I need to basically profit from it. He is right though, bitcoin can still reach $10000 this year or early next year.


 btc is lowered at 7k usd but i think its nearly not possible for it to climb 10k usd again based on its movement  but i think it can recover until 8 to 8.5 usd  . i heard people speculate nicely about the price of btc by next year , that would be our hope
Now it pumps again 2%, not bad as it recently downed sitting at $7300 still possible to run higher this year with less than a month. Speculation on bitcoin's price for next year is positive but don't let this fool you, we have seen many speculation that didn't came true.
2950  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People are underutilizing Bitcoin on: December 03, 2019, 02:07:02 PM
In my opinion, people hoard until they don't. so a higher price turns some of those hoarders into sellers or spenders. however, it doesn't follow that hoarding bitcoins will make them worthless. If everybody stopped selling immediately and hoarded their coins, the price would go through the roof which arguably has a much greater impact on encouraging merchants and individuals to accept Bitcoin. wouldn't you agree?
Yes, I agree. Basically, bitcoin can be used as an investment tool and commodity trading. Depending on the passion of each user. Not that those who choose to hold bitcoin cannot take maximum advantage over those who choose to trade or vice versa, but each has a strategy, advantages, and disadvantages.
Bitcoin has been the thing for about 2 years many sees it as an investment and not a currency at all. But I personally think of it as a commodity, means of trading of services and goods. What makes people hold of bitcoin when they expect of somehow a return based on what they capitalized. I do both, means of trading and holding to attain gains from any direction especially when the market is unideal.
2951  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Saving for a House! on: December 02, 2019, 06:44:39 PM
We are saving for a house down payment of 40K.  I don't want to leave it in the bank as there is a old judgement they can take any time so i want to store it in crypto as we grow it over the next 6 months.  Is a stable coin the best option?  Thoughts?

Saving money in the form of crypto which is supposed to be for a down payment on a house is very dangerous. Even though there is an opportunity for profit, the risk is huge because we could lose and not buy a house with that money. It's better to use idle money to invest in the cryptocurrency market so that we are more calm and enjoy it
I see nothing wrong putting your money with stable coins because the volatility of it is very low or considered none at all. You can keep it on bank or any asset you want to But if you do put it on cryptocurrency, especially stable coins, don't expect to make profit from it. Or if you are really a risk taker and willing to gamble your money in crypto space might as well invest it on bitcoin since it has the most potential to make most of profit out of just holding, half a year is long so maybe you could gain from it however taking consideration with this action is also accepting your potential loss.
2952  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin using or need! Vs stable coins on: December 02, 2019, 05:14:49 PM
By and large, stable coins are nothing more than market-based instruments that allow you to somewhat expand the functionality of the crypto market itself.
Whether stable coins would exist if there were no bitcoin is a big question, however, the technology somehow does not stand still, which means sooner or later development would come to the creation of cryptographic currencies.

In other words, the current methods of storing information and databases themselves are pushing technology to create something like decentralized and more secure than before.
Therefore, I think the creation of cryptography was only a matter of time.
Imagining the digital coin market existence without bitcoin is not possible. Bitcoin laid the foundation of all crypto coins, whether stable or not. None of them could ever created without the mother of crypto currencies. Blockchain is not a very new concept but the first implementation of it can be considered bitcoin and every system of the world can improve itself with integrating this technology.
Even without bitcoin all these stablecoin will just become useless coin with no real use and just have fancy name. Despite being stable the adoption of these stablecoins are lacking and I can't see it being used for a better purpose other than just a temporary store of value and trade pair.
Well we must also think that stable coins were created because of the bitcoin, since bitcoin started the revolutionary digital currency. Even if what coin could have invented way back then, there will be a stable coin to be created for safe value storage.

The whole reserved fund also controlled by private companies meaning middle man and that's too risky. I would even consider bank as a safer option than this one.
Yes it is true, just think of it if no one has a control on it, do you think there will be stability on price at all?
 What do you mean by the risk? Stable coins were made just to unit an account temporarily like when you are trading and the market behaves wildly so what will be your safe haven, obviously these stable coins. That is why we have stable coins right now.

@theymos is it still possible. To adjust the winners by 10? Instead of 5? 😂 The poll seems like having a hot competition here, maybe you can consider. JMO. ✌️

I'm hoping Theymos will consider this  Grin
Just like how he considered to have a hundred of Bitcoin winners, instead of like 10's or 20's of good submissions.

Im not hoping to be included in the top 10 anyway, but there really has a lot of good entries from the poll, and just like you said the competition is getting red hot except the first 5 people at the top who had a spectacular creation.
 

It is much better if theymos consider to make it 10 badge winners rather than 5, But then it is also okay if he stick to the first ruling, for me being nominee for the badge is already an achievement.

Every one deserves the badge but then again the votes do matter. May the best 5 creation wins.

There are many on the front but still I hope I could win this  Cheesy
2954  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH to zero? This guy is dreaming! on: December 01, 2019, 06:13:47 PM
Anti-crypto campaigner and perennial Bitcoin basher, Nouriel Roubini, is at it again. But this time around, he’s after Ethereum (ETH). According to a tweet by “Dr. Doom,” Ethereum is still a long way from its “fundamental value” of $0. Just like his previous criticism on Bitcoin, Roubini is certain that in the long run, ETH will hit a $0 price mark.

For some time now, Dr. Doom has been bashing cryptocurrency with his skepticism of several financial markets, including bitcoin.


Source link here

ETH to zero? In your dreams, hater!!!

There come a time that ETH may be bottoming out within this month, but it would not go down to zero for sure.

For me, I honestly think that we should be excited about Ethereum's long-term future, not focusing on Roubini's hate speech about them, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

To be honest, Nouriel Roubini is nothing but an all-in-one stupid idiot!

Everybody is entitled to his opinion but not to the fact, even for an idiot like Nouriel Roubini, and if you listen to his advice to dump Ethereum, you have a big problem of not getting the fact about Ethereum's situation and the market situation, even if the price of Ethereum reach $2000 he will still bash Ethereum, but secretly buying Ethereum, for all we know he has a huge portfolio of Cryptocurrency.

This is a popular strategy to spread FUD about something and buying them in a cheap price and creating another hype. As a investor and trader, we should apply our due diligence and try to be a step ahead of the masses to make a profit. Dumping all your coins at once is never a solution unless its a total scam.
That might be the reason why he still shows skepticism with cryptocurrencies amidst its success just to spread fear and doubt to the people, but deep inside he really wants to buy the coin at a cheaper price. Very ridiculous way of bringing it in, his name on his own expense. He knows what to do since he is influential and popular. He is not an idiot if he's doing it to step ahead, Idiots are the one who believes on him.

I habe doubts on my mind after reading this 1)I haven't heard of any information that there is a real Satoshi Nakamoto that lived just next street from Hal. (Investigators could've know it by searching within its vicinity) 2) Wei Dai was the second person contacted by Satoshi for its b-money (Maybe they made this all up too) 3) If Hal was really a genius, he could've not sent to himself the first bitcoin as it will only made him much suspectful.

Even after all this speculation, still Satoshi does not want to be known cause if he wanted to, he had a choice in the very beginning.

Looks good, but would you want that? Most people who are in the Bitcoin space now wouldn't. That doesn't mean newcomers who trust banks aren't going to be interested, but for me doing it wouldn't have any benefits. Instead of you holding your coins I'd now have to ask my bank for permission just like with fiat money.

-Dear bank, I'd like to send my coins to another country, how much will it cost and when will you be able to realize the payment?

-Dear client, your tax returns aren't due, so we are freezing your bitcoins until we get a sign from your local tax office. Also, we are freezing some of your bitcoins permanently because because they come from silk road. Have a nice day.  

 ShockedUndecided
I guess you misunderstood the idea of cryptocurrency banking. What banks will do is to sell and store cryptocurrency, meaning people will ask for them to keep their asset in form of cryptocurrency. You are wrong based on the examples you have given. First of all, you basically think of crypto banking acts like a physical exchange, it somehow does but the fact that it is regulated is so much more to compare with exchanges. Second, if people would need their money, they wouldn't be asking permission for the bank to sell it to another country, the bank itself has their money backed on the asset so it will be very a seamless transaction.

What germany did is a great move given the fact that they have a negative interest rate with their banks. This is beneficial, giving the option for cryptocurrency investment to get away with forceful spending of money by the banks.
2957  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Satoshi hides his identity? on: December 01, 2019, 01:16:56 PM
It's not about the fame that he does not want. Fame is just a plus I think, what Satoshi really want I think is a change literally a major change in the financial system and it contradicts the government. What Satoshi is really protecting I think is his security, imagine your work started getting into government official nerves because most of them are against bitcoin plus all the bad people online, you think he'll be safe considering he is holding a ton of bitcoins.
I have to agree with this, being famous has an expense to his/her security and everyone on this field does not want that. Satoshi could've introduced what he has created to the mainstream media with cameras, press and all to credit all of his work but he didn't. He knows the value of his creation, Government could've done wrong if they know who he is. There is something valuable to him that he does not want to gamble for fame and that is the security and safety.
2958  Economy / Economics / Re: what makes us good investors. on: November 30, 2019, 08:15:30 PM
Consistency.

An investor does not leave his future to chance. Also, a good investor never puts all his eggs in the same basket. Besides, a good investor can see the future better than others. If you are investing in cryptocurrencies,this makes you a great investor.
Consistency is good way how to be good investor but we don't know situation on crypto where bitcoin or altcoin on higher or lower price, many time we can't prediction about bitcoin because suddenly can be on up or down.
Consistency is vague with this kind of industry, it is volatile and speculative and consistency seems to be no where. I think you mean discipline? coz it makes the investor good at all times. Imo, all charactetistics is under the discipline, if you have a discipline you have the power to control yourself and able to think more. Imagine being knowledgeable in the market but not discipline to do the actions, for me it all inclined to the discipline.


Just expert or people have much money can playing bitcoin and altcoin price so looks consistency to get much profit with bitcoin and altcoin investment.
We don't have such an expert here. As I have said, the market is speculative so people you are calling "expert" might be just a good speculator, graphs and data is all available in the internet so they could have analyze the market more frequently.

Was he allowed to do that? Did he have any problems with the police after that? after all, China has harsh laws.
You're right, who allowed him to do that?
I don't know the context of the picture. As I can see on it, he has a QR code. I don't know it is directly a Btc address of just a payment processor with a bitcoin option.

Bitcoin is banned in China and any step related to bitcoin especially in the transaction will surely put it at risk.
Or he is against the law of China and in order to gain the support of many people he has done so.
China has come negatively with cryptocurrency specifically bitcoin. They have seen it as a threat to their people knoeing they have the most number of citizen in the world. As far as legality is concern, the guy who wore the shirt might be in jail right now, it depends on China's jurisdiction. It's sad to know that China as we expect to lead with crypto become opposite with it.
I've read they are also after on banning cryptocurrency mining.
