3021  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC in the $xxx,xxx price zone on: May 12, 2021, 09:10:24 PM
Bitcoin's lowest price since last year dated back on March 2020, the price was $5,200. And now, it reached $62k, and then the current price is $54k.

With less than a year from the lowest price of $5,200, it got a raise of 12 times. Now, looking at its price, it only has to rise two times from its current price for it to reach $100k.

@virtualdn, are you going to sell some once it reaches $100k?
3022  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Listing coin in a big exchange ask for a refundable security deposit? on: May 12, 2021, 08:39:45 PM
Check the contact that has been contacting you and go to the official website of the exchange and talk to their rep. Just verify if they're really the ones that you're talking about and if they really are requiring a security deposit.

Usually, if that's a big amount, you really don't want to down for it as quickly as possible because you haven't done the transaction. It's best to consult the actual rep and let them know the situation.
3023  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the chances BTC is actually overtaken by another crypto? on: May 11, 2021, 07:51:19 PM
Such a clickbait.

You want us to go to the article and get some traffic through us. But anyway if the context is all about bitcoin being overtaken by another crypto. This has been a topic for ages and even before those bull runs came.

I hope someday that there's only going to be the very few people who are thinking about this.
3024  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Deposit times (ETC) on: May 11, 2021, 07:17:35 PM
Yes, that's normal.

That standard was changed due to the ETC 51% attack in the past. You have no choice but to wait until it reaches the standard or minimum confirmation that they've said to reflect on your account balance.

On their estimation, that should go around 6.5 days.

3025  Economy / Economics / Re: I feel the report about UK economy losing 700 billion is wrong!!! on: May 11, 2021, 06:41:46 PM
It is always the current government/administration that will be blamed for the downness of its economy. And when the economy is up and at high, there's no talk about it.

The key reason for my analysis is that UK has vaccinated over 60% of it’s population, and this means that soon it’ll be business as usual for them, and hence their economy will be able to bounce back faster and stronger than what the economists had initially predicted.
There's no doubt that they will be able to bounce and recover. As soon as they get most of their citizens vaccinated, there shall be no worry anymore about the vaccine and they can now remove restrictions and limits it to a lower restriction but will allow its people to get back at least to their normal lives.
3026  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coins or Tokens with a good potential like SHIBA INU. on: May 11, 2021, 06:08:39 PM
I see now that many people are looking to have invested into the same coins for which they'll going to hit jackpot as it pumps.

@OP, there are some coins that could be the same as shiba inu but you should be aware that these coins could either bring you profit or loss. And in these times, there are many who have this strategy that could also make you get into losses.
3027  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is Coinbase going to list Satoshi on their exchange? on: May 11, 2021, 09:07:06 AM
i thought most people buying btc already know they can buy in sats not necessarily the whole thing! or am i missing something here! anyone who buys $100, $200 - $20,000 worth of btc knows they are not buying the whole damn thing
Actually not everyone who has bought bitcoin is aware of the denomination or the smaller quantity that it distributes like sats and mbtc. Mostly, we call it like you've bought 0.001 btc and that's already it.

But if OP is pertaining to this altcoin:

I don't think that they will.
3028  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin not yet at $100k, why? on: May 10, 2021, 08:25:04 PM
Do you still think $100k is still possible before the first half of the year?

It's not a matter of thinking/opinion. Bitcoin cannot reach $100k this year or any year.

Huh? I am confident that Bitcoin will reach $100k one day. I wouldn't even doubt that at all, but it may take some time. Could also happen this year, we aren't far from $100k.
It is ok if there are people that don't think that bitcoin won't reach $100k for this year.

We have our own opinions and we're entitled for it to tell it to the public. And there's no need to debate with those that don't believe that it will happen and just let them believe what they want to believe.

While us, we're counting on it and hopeful that it might happen this year.

Check on every market that it has.

If you've got some accounts on the exchanges that are on that list where it has pairs, you should check them out and see that it's not greyed out.
3030  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: At $7.5 Dogecoin will be more valuable than BTC on: May 10, 2021, 11:17:02 AM
What's with the hate all about bitcoin?

There's no need to reiterate the obvious hate on bitcoin. There's a lot of it even before and keeps being compared to another altcoin which has never been able to defeat bitcoin.

It's the actual king of the crypto market and even how much Dogecoin or an altcoin that has been compared to it, don't forget that if those compared coins are going to pump then bitcoin will do too.
3031  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin for everyone on: May 10, 2021, 10:31:44 AM
That's an interesting research and calculation that you've made. I think it will be easier to read if you'll reconstruct the post and make it more formal through redesigning it.

At the end of it, with all the number of population that we've got in the world and with bitcoin's limited supply. If you ever had bitcoin whether it's not a whole bitcoin but you hold it with few decimals, you're lucky guy to hold it while the rest aren't even interested holding a few.
3032  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: {Warning}: New Panda Stealer Targets Cryptocurrency Wallets on: May 09, 2021, 11:04:16 PM
Sometimes being lazy of opening unsolicited emails are helpful to us. If you don't know the source of an email, you better not open it.

Nothing bad will happen if we open any e-mail we receive, this in itself is not a danger because as far as I know it still takes a little more than just opening an e-mail for something bad to happen. It’s important not to download any attachments that come in such emails, but as they say “curiosity killed a cat”, and people who are curious (and careless) often fall into the trap.

What I would especially like to point out is that you should beware of e-mails that only seemingly come from people you know, because someone can target you specifically - so a legitimate e-mail can be melissa23@xxx.com, and the hacker is sending from melisa23@xxx.com a message with content that says "look at my latest holiday pictures" just click on attachments.
You're right. There's no danger in opening it but with the example, you've given, that's making a person put him near to the danger that email has attached.

It is okay to be curious but when it comes to attachments, the danger starts especially if the link goes with those informal set of links that they're including and sometimes in file formats that will hit the receiver's curiosity.

But for those that are wanting to avoid them fully and don't want to hit their curiosity, ignoring and deleting them quickly would be the best measure.
3033  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's the mechanism behind pumping? Profiting in both BTC & altcoin possible? on: May 09, 2021, 10:11:20 PM
He might be using his own BTC and cash to pump Dogecoin while he encourages everybody to pump it. But his strategy is to look for the help of many new and old investors in the crypto market and have it pump to the probable price that he's going to be satisfied with.

He'll tell them when to buy but he'll never tell when to sell.

It's just sad that those newcomers in crypto will their first cryptocurrency is Dogecoin.
That's the sad part and they will reason it like this, "It is because Elon says so."
3034  Economy / Economics / Re: If we have crypto Why people still buy stocks? on: May 09, 2021, 09:23:44 PM
Why people still buy stocks?
If with crypto much bigger profits *
3% daily gain is nothing If you can get 100% profit with Good coins pump.
How the Hell people Even get rich with stocks with so small profits? 
1st.

Not everybody knows a thing about crypto.

2nd.

It's likely that they're already in stocks and they're already used to it.

3rd.

If they know about crypto then they've settled for a lesser risk market and that's the stocks.

4th.

We should mind our own business and stay to whichever market we're used to and happy to keep going.
3035  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Significance of crypto currencies on: May 09, 2021, 08:44:34 PM
Do not forget that the main reason why bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are made is to become an alternative payment system or currency itself for which we're enjoying today although the issue lately is about the quite high fee.

But with all the changes that we're having in the market, you're right that it's becoming the source of exchange and that main reason is remaining. It all depends on the owner of it and the variety that we have which we're also looking for cheaper fees while bitcoin becomes a store of value.
3036  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: how long do cash funded trades like western union, money order etc. take on: May 09, 2021, 08:02:32 PM
AFAIK, they're almost instant.
But money orders have to go through the mail, which can take a few days. What are some that use cash like western union that don't require the money to go through the mail?
I've tested it before and the transfer was almost instant. I only have to wait for a few minutes so that I can track the remittance that I'm about to get.

I have no idea, I don't usually use remittance these days because transferring online is easier with the help of cryptocurrencies.
3037  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fate or lack of control - Gambling on: May 07, 2021, 08:08:30 PM
Learn from that.

It's not always that you're lucky or if you've already felt the gut feel that there's no luck with you, you shouldn't pursue it anymore.

With those little losses that you've started and if it keeps on coming and adding to the former losses, it will form to a bigger amount which will push you to recover and make you lose control.
Yes, if you believe you're losing a lot of money and luck isn't on your side, you should probably STOP wasting money right now. Often I feel like I can keep going because I need to make up for all of my losses, but I end up losing all of my money, and that's when I know that if I've already lost a lot, I should stop gambling because it might eat up all of my money. You're losing control, and the temptation will continue to force you to play until you lose because you wanted to win or benefit from gambling, which is the incorrect viewpoint on this type of activity; it's just for entertainment. The pressure will continue to mount in order to force you to play until you lose.
True.

The feeling of not stopping will keep on pushing you if you can't control yourself anymore. But if you're having the right mind and you're aware of the losses that you made.

You won't add some more losses and you'll have a definite stop as soon as you recognize that it's no longer acceptable in your standing.

How long do p2p cash funded trades like western union, money order etc. take.
AFAIK, they're almost instant.

What is the best one to use in terms of fees, which is the best in speed, and which is the best in safety an which is the best overall?
Depends to the person you'll be sending money. If she or he lives in a country that has a good local wallet exchange, they can register on it and you as well.

Transfers can be instant with whatever crypto they support if the transaction is off chain.
3039  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETC new historic ATH exceeds 900% in just 3 months on: May 07, 2021, 05:59:15 PM
With the 51% attack that happened on it, I think this bull run is waking up every coin that it can base on what the investors want to wake up. With the upcoming transition of ETH to POS and other updates.

I think ETC is getting livelier due to those miners that are seeing its profitability as they mine it.

Quite true, ETC also Doge fully shows that speculators can raise the price of any coin as they want regardless of its advantages or disadvantages, ETC suffers a lot of problems and its network is weakly protected, but despite this its price has risen fantastically.
Also, its ease of mining will make miners flock to mining ETC because of its high price and this will bring them huge profits.
That's a sure thing as for mining, I think that's main reason aside from we're in the altcoin bull run.

-Presumably, after bitcoin recovered and flattened, institutional investors saw a huge benefit to ETC after the Mantis development team made a big step forward with their product coming.
I didn't know about this Mantis development but it might be another one reason that contributed to its rise recently.

I think ETC is getting livelier due to those miners that are seeing its profitability as they mine it.
I think this is the reason behind ETC's increase. Of course, market's bull run also contributes to that. Although ETC is a good coin, but 900% increase in just 3 months is insane. Even a shitcoin couldn't pump that way. ETH's migration to PoS is good for both ETH and ETC. ETH network becomes more efficient while ETC gets more attention from miners and investors.
I don't think it's a good coin but until it has risen with that gain, everyone who sees the gain will start to say that it's a good coin. That gain that it has made really takes the attention of everyone that's being amazed on that percentage.
3040  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When you heard about Bitcoin vs. When you first used Bitcoin on: May 07, 2021, 04:53:49 PM
Heard in 2007
Were there rumors and articles that have been online on that year about bitcoin?

AFAIK and cmiiw, Bitcoin's whitepaper was published on 2008 so that means that only a very few people have knew it until the official launching of bitcoin.

Unless you typed the date wrongly.
