301  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Dead cat bounce or the start of bull market? on: March 24, 2019, 04:07:31 PM
I think that this is another attempt to shake the market in order to deprive the money of the one who believes in the bull market and who invest now for a long period. I expect a strong correction in April.
Dude don’t worry about it, bitcoin will survive every single attempt to sabotage the agenda of bitcoin profits and market. Actually there are third parties who can’t bear this good gesture given by people to bitcoin.

The endorsement and trust are really girth that these external sources got itching. They hatred bitcoin and thus such sort of clumps campaigns start flooding up. But we need to remain restrain from such notorious stuff.
302  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Anyone still into magi coin XMG? on: March 24, 2019, 02:53:30 PM
i like magi as my older devices can handle the mining. However i do not see much trading activity. Hoping to get some insights here. Is my observation right? Last thing i want is to have 1000 coins but no one to sell to. lol

If indeed, do you have an alternative to recommend? devices with older cpu is my priority.

appreciate.
I don't think there is any need to mine this coin because from what I can see from the coinmarketcap statistics, this coin is worthless and has no single volume on any exchange, making it impossible to buy or even sell the coin after you were able to mine it.

I think you should make sure to check the stat of a coin before trying to setup a mine for it because you might just end up wasting your electricity without making profit.
303  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are you still hodling that shitcoin? on: March 24, 2019, 02:29:47 PM
Most people actually forget those tokens in the wallet because most of them are worthless and it will be waste of time to try dumping coins that are worthless on exchange, imagine you have up to 100 tokens in your wallet and each of this tokens are worth $5, I don't think it would be wise going to the exchange to dump all of the coin one after another because you might end up spending all the tokens on fees and remember that you are going to need ethereum for transaction fee if making use of a DEX.
304  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Luck is the opposite on: March 20, 2019, 07:11:30 PM
I don't think you are the only one who have heard this kind of experience before, I think the best explanation for what is happening to you is that you can into the market late when we are already seeing a correction in the price of the coins in the market and can dump at anytime when you least expect, I don't think you can make profit holding now, just try to learn how to trade crypto on daily basis and you will enjoy a lot of profit.
305  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Strange transaction in MEW... on: March 19, 2019, 09:21:08 PM
I don't think that is a form of phishing method on MEW, phishing is when a person creates the clone of a website in order to confuse the users of that website to visit his/hers so that they can be able to store your login details without your conceit to later steal your funds.

Crypto is a free market and it is very legal and possible to create multiple clones of 1 token since the market cannot be controlled by just one individual, so I don't see this as phishing but normal activity anyone will carry out just know the contract address of the token you are looking for and that's all.
306  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which strategy you apply in recent bullish market? on: March 19, 2019, 09:49:49 AM
there are lots of good coins and some exchangers, therefore, choose coins that have the best potential and can make you get multiple profits if there is a bull run later.
Which coin to choose is sometimes a hard nut to crack for many people who do not have great knowledge about the cryptocurrency. I still believe in the cryptocurrency and invest even if it is not a bull run. Once the Bull Run sets, I trade and withdraw my coin at high price. The good strategy is to invest low and trade high. Even the recent low price of Bitcoin had been very attractive and many people speculated and would cash out once the market is high.crid
307  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you think should I buy for 1 year? on: March 19, 2019, 09:04:20 AM
After 3 months I will be in the army for a whole year. And I came to the conclusion that I need to buy something for $1000. This is not an important amount for me, but at the same time, I want to come home and with probability to raise this amount. I want to hear the opinion of experienced people, it will also be interesting to look at this topic in a year. Who advised what)


I'm recommending you to just invest it in Bitcoin or ETH. It's not that risky as we can see that there are huges supports and liquidity in these markets that allows it to avoid sudden dump. Keep away from ROI since 90% of them are more likely to be a scam.
I think that Bitcoin is the most attractive coin in the market these days. You speculate in Bitcoin and you get the maximum output possible in the cryptocurrency market. Remember that this coin is expanding at a very high speed.

Every day more and more people are investing upon coming to know about the potential of the cryptocurrency particularly Bitcoin. This is the future of digital economy and will be of high value in days to come.
308  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the Bitcoin is still down? on: March 18, 2019, 09:04:10 PM
I don't mind what makes Bitcoin's value still down what's I am thinking to do is to make more investments to my favorite currencies. That's why I don't know why it still not increasing but as I noticed in the Bitcoin's value in the past years it really changed a lot from small to large amount of it's regular price.
Anyone that bought Bitcoin around 2010 or so and left it till now still made a good profit, cause there is a huge difference between what the price is now and what it used to be then, a very big difference.

But, you will still see a lot of people who bought out of fear of losing,complaining that the price is down. Some people are so greedy, they just jumped in to make millions of dollars quickly and pull out, but unfortunately for them it didn’t work out that way. And they will still miss the next bull, lol Grin.

after winning, leave the gambling table and have fun. after that, enter again but with a small bet, it will make you safer in playing gambling.
That’s really a good strategy to have profits and avoid loss by anxiety. It is always better to have a better game and gamble the possible amount onto it and leave markets for sometime until you find a another good game.

Doing so will not keep you much addicted towards gambling as well as you can expect profits each time you gamble. Instead of playing multiple games, we could simply study a single game much deeply and play onto it.
311  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Acceptance. on: November 16, 2018, 05:48:08 PM
As of now the bitcoin acceptance has already reach all over the universe, but not all countries accept it as part of their currency or even accept it totally. They knew bitcoin but not much. Some also banned bitcoin. Hopefully the bitcoin will grow and accepted all over the community.
well. Bitcoin is not reached to all the universe yet. a lot of people know about it. and lots of countries and nations making rules and laws . hopefully it'll be known by every single person of the world. but it's gonna take time.
312  Economy / Economics / Re: Tax on the crypto currency! What do you think? on: November 15, 2018, 06:51:13 PM
Tax, according to the laws of any nation should be paid by businesses. Since most people have taken up cryptocurrency as a business, then they should pay whatever tax that is due.
you are right.. lots of new crypto startups. such as ICOs . Exchanges and other Startups are registering themselves. and being incorporated under Govt. so they must pay the taxes as well. I think legit and big crypto startups which are incorporated under govt are paying tax. otherwise, how could govt let them continue the work. Binance earning millions of $$$ every month in profit. they must pay the tax.
313  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: | STRATIS | The first blockchain developed for businesses |Full POS on: November 15, 2018, 06:43:27 PM
Stratis falls deeper and for those who loves to take some chances this is a good time to buy and stake your coins, we don't know how long it will take and how bearish continue to pull down the market, but if you are still aiming for long term maybe this value can give you a good staking numbers, stratis can
still deliver and after the market goes back into  green this coin will also be lift up as progress are ongoing.

Well, I have never couldn't imagine such price of Stratis coins. Last bitcoin price drop had bad influence to all market, including Stratis. So now is really very good price for those who haven't already bought this coins....
I also never expected such a low price of stratis. this project has been one of my favorites . I know startis from early days. I remember when Startis price increased to $10. that was a big time for Stratis. and now when I see the price. I don't even believe that.. now we can see how crypto works. how it breaks and lose people..
just imagine about those people who bought it for $10 in the hope of profit.. what could be their condition now.
314  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading or not? on: November 15, 2018, 06:03:20 PM
in these circumstances, I still prefer to hold back, and see conditions. well, maybe a lot of people think like investors, which is the right time to invest, but I prefer to wait for the right time to do that.
what would be the right time for you then? could you tell us more specifically? as of my experience we can never know when is the right time . people say buy low and sell high that means right time is when the price of a specific coin (which you want to buy) is low. that is the right time. but I would say what if that low price drop even lower? what then? if 1$ is low price for a coin. and someone bought that for $1 each. and then it drops to $0.1 then? so trading is always risky..

is it so hard to fix circulation supply numbers on CMC? looks like waves token wasn't a smart move.
well. I don't think that is because of Waves token. it's a thing between Coinmarketcap and the Coin Team. there was some miscalculation at the time of beginning. now all they need is just make a request with coinmarketcap team and ask them to make the required changes. it could take some time. but it'll be fixed soon.
316  Economy / Speculation / Re: Big pop up again on: September 16, 2018, 12:31:44 PM
In fact, miners also play an important trading role, aren't they? When the decline in Bitcoin affects their interests, they will begin to take over the market and let Bitcoin rebound!
I guess that has been the norm of miners not allowing the market to go lower than what would be paying them as miners. If this goes down, I believe bitcoin mining difficulty will fall, some miners may no longer be able to see it profitable anymore and due to the electricity bills, maintenance and other things, it would be something not worth it for a lot and that could make them just turn off their machines.
According to a Fundstrat Doctor though, he claimed the price at which most miners would really start shutting down their operations is around $3,000 to $4,000 per bitcoin. I guess we have to wait to see how events would unfold.
317  Economy / Economics / Re: Starbucks drops hint at plans to accept Bitcoin on: September 16, 2018, 11:44:41 AM
Quote
Back in May, reports surfaced that New York Stock Exchange owner Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) was developing a Bitcoin trading platform. This morning, it officially announced the creation of Bakkt, a new company that will help trade and convert the best known cryptocurrency to fiat money — government-backed legal tender.

As one might expect from a new company with close ties to the NYSE, Bakkt has enlisted some big names already, including backing from Microsoft, Starbucks and BCG. Microsoft, for its part, will provide cloud infrastructure for the service. Even more compelling, however, is the involvement of Starbucks.

After all, the coffee giant has played an outsized role in helping mainstream mobile payments among the U.S. population, it has worked with Square (which accepts Bitcoin) and it just announced a deal with Alibaba in China for coffee deliveries. The chain isn’t always the first to adopt payment solutions, but its involvement goes a long ways toward legitimizing technologies among the public. If played right, this could be the push Bitcoin as a payment system for mainstream consumers here in the States.

In a statement, Starbucks referred to itself as “the flagship retailer” involved in the project, hinting at the very real potential that the company is setting itself up to accept Bitcoin converted through the Bakkt system.


“As the flagship retailer, Starbucks will play a pivotal role in developing practical, trusted and regulated applications for consumers to convert their digital assets into US dollars for use at Starbucks,” said Starbucks Payments VP Maria Smith said in the statement. “As a leader in Mobile Pay to our more than 15 million Starbucks Rewards members, Starbucks is committed to innovation for expanding payment options for our customers.”

Bakkt’s implications go well beyond mobile payments, of course. As Fortune notes, the system could help attract investors who have been put off by Bitcoin’s extremely volatile nature. Among other things, it could help make the currency a safer choice for 401(k)s, IRAs and other retirement plans. That, in turn, could help propel Bitcoin toward wider Wall Street trading.

https://techcrunch.com/2018/08/03/starbucks-drops-major-hint-at-plans-to-accept-bitcoin/

....

Purchasing a cup of coffee via bitcoin might materialize faster than anyone had thought.

I like the idea of starbucks embracing bitcoin. It is known some starbucks function almost exactly like homeless shelters. Adopting bitcoin could put crypto currencies into the hands of where its needed in terms of helping the poor, the unbanked, those who can't afford the minimum balance on a bank account or have trouble obtaining debit cards or credit cards to make electronic transactions. Over the long term this could help people to find jobs to give them more options and opportunities which could help them to escape poverty and elevate their standard of living. Which in turn could help reduce crime and negative trends associated with violence.

The point @ the bottom about making bitcoin a safer choice for 401k's, IRAs and retirement plans is interesting. I've wondered if bitcoin and crypto currencies in general could have future potential for retirement funds due to them being designed to appreciate in value over time. An asset which appreciates in value could help to offset increasingly higher costs associated with higher average lifespan. It could imply crypto has potential there.
Oh nice,, so how’s that’ going to work… we stand in line and use our phones to make payment to their Bitcoin wallet address? Lol, who’s ready to waste such time these days when they got a lot of work to do for the day? Some of you just think all these makes sense but they don’t.

Bitcoin is just good to be used online and apart from that I don’t see any other good way, we can’t forcing ourselves to use it physically when it’s never meant to be that way.
Maybe you missed this part of where the article stated; "As the flagship retailer, Starbucks will play a pivotal role in developing practical, trusted and regulated applications for consumers to convert their digital assets into US dollars for use at Starbucks,”.
Apparently, you cannot expect something to be worked out in that perspective to make things a lot easier when it comes to being able to pay without causing any head ache or thereabout. It is a good start as far as I am concerned and a very welcome development and it does not make any sense trying to paint the idea to be a wrong one.

318  Economy / Speculation / Re: Big pop up again on: September 16, 2018, 11:09:37 AM
Big pump for bitcoin is near for sure , waiting is the key to see that, but you need to buy more bitcoin to pump the value of this coin.
But if the people continue to sell their bitcoin that they have maybe instead of seeing again big pump it turn into big dump again and everyone will sacirfice on that because we lost most of our capital. Unity is the best key if they want to have achieve your goal.
People should stop concentrating so much on incoming pump and should rather be seeking for ways in which we will get to see the market become something that is totally not driven by speculation as time goes on.
So far, we have so much been looking at the idea of seeing a pump, making huge profit from it, and right now for most people it is all about the profit than the aspect of it being a currency and that is not something good. We could see an uptrend and we could slightly go higher, but for a bear market that we are still in anyway, I would not be expecting so much.
319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why not play games online instead of gambling? on: September 16, 2018, 10:05:48 AM
Many but not all gamblers are claiming they gamble for fun and pass time. I was just thinking. If it is the reason why people gamble then why not play online games? There is a lot of good and challenging onlne games wherein you can interact with other people online?
Well, most people think like you, but I see from the other side that they tend to be more into gambling games because they are very looking for challenges rather than just playing games, obviously gambling is very different from ordinary games because in that game using money or coins to fight and, in essence, they want to find pleasure and profit.
Challenges that comes from losing or challenges that comes from the game being a hard one.
Yeah, this may be something that could be applicable to poker in terms of challenges, but it is still a matter of luck, but in any case, you can always get to find those sorts of challenges even in online games as well.
It is true that gambling is different from ordinary games, but for those who keep saying they are looking for fun, why can they not play online game to seek the fun actually ?
320  Economy / Speculation / Re: Satoshi Nakamato selling 111000 Bitcoins ? on: September 15, 2018, 04:43:00 PM
I think satoshi nakamoto said that he has moved to other projects and if we consider how amazing of a person he must be to create bitcoin and then we can assume that he moved onto something thats much bigger maybe and he definitely erased bitcoin from his mind. He may even deleted the seeds and so forth for his wallets as well which may mean he doesn't even have control over his coins anymore so he won't be tempted to sell it one day.
However I also do not believe this 110k bitcoins are his, if he ever wanted to sell his coins he wouldn't do it neither now nor in a way we would even know, he would sell the wallet all together before he would even consider selling the coins directly.
