3121  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you are running a node, you should be encrypting your drive on: March 24, 2018, 02:36:50 AM
Should? Yes. People should be doing so many things, but are they doing to do them? No. People are keen on being lazy, they're ready to do as little as possible and that's how the world works. So people aren't going to end up encrypting their drives, gosh they barely remember their passwords for their bitcoin private keys -- you think they're going to end up remembering more for their drives.
3122  Economy / Services / Re: [OPEN] | 🔥 Coinpayments.net Signature Campaign 🔥 | 100% SegWit | on: March 23, 2018, 12:51:30 AM
So I guess we're going to start again on the 27th? As on the spreadsheet, it makes sense as it seems to be that people are going to be checked on the 3rd for their 30 posts.

Is that right Lauda?
3123  Economy / Services / Re: [OPEN] | 🔥 Coinpayments.net Signature Campaign 🔥 | 100% SegWit | on: March 21, 2018, 04:36:19 PM
Looks like we will continue the campaign! I finally received a response and was asked for a deposit address. I'll be making another post after the funds have been received, which is the time that I'm officially confirming the continuation of the campaign.

Yay! Been a wonderful campaign and I'm really hoping to continue it for a long time to come!'


Thanks again Lauda.
3124  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How many people know the exact value of their portfolio? on: March 20, 2018, 04:46:22 AM
Maintaining an exact portfolio for cryptocurrency is not possible. As, almost everyone uses a cryptocurrency to buy or trade with another and fiat are generally used to buy only one or two cryptos. The prices of crypto are much volatile to keep a track of and when you are not buying it directly with fiat, you can't make a portfolio based on it.

The price may be volatile, but that's not going to stop anyone from using an online portfolio (connected up with the exchange that you buy and sell on) to be able to fetch the data from the site where you have your coins. This would, painlessly, tell you the EXACT value of your portfolio with ease.

I don't see this being such a big issue.
3125  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How does the collapse of Bitcoin affect traditional investment? on: March 20, 2018, 04:14:10 AM
If Bitcoin was to collapse I think a good portion of the market cap of crypto (in the hundreds of billions) would have to shift into the market cap of more traditional stock, bonds, etc. This is due to people being scared that if they leave their money in risky investments, then they're going to lose money -- causing them to shift back to things that have traditionally worked in order to make themselves feel safer.

Probably a good lesson for the new generation that they can lose money at any time if they risk too much.
3126  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I don't care about the price now. Nobody knows how much my portfolio is worth on: March 20, 2018, 03:44:19 AM
A skill that only few have, I'll even say that I personally can't even do this. It's tough to just forgot about all of the money that you've thrown at something and let time do it's course, but if you want to make it in the world of crypto (or any investment) you're going to have to let time to just that.

Don't let FUD and news stories sway you, just let it ride folks. Plus, you shouldn't be investing with any money that you can't lose. So whatever you put into crypto should be accounted as being lost already.
3127  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Books for technical analysis and markets on: March 20, 2018, 03:33:48 AM
I wouldn't waste your time, nor your money on something which has been fully debunked as useless and a scam. Technical analysis isn't going to help as much as your own research, your own gut, and your own will for looking for something which is a good investment for you. TA is a way for people to try to trick you, or for you to feel like you've got a sure bet because the 'chart says so'

Don't do it.  
3128  Economy / Trading Discussion / Do you think there is a lot of money to be made in Bitcoin Acccounting? on: March 20, 2018, 03:21:51 AM
As there are a good amount of people who are trading crypto, trading bitcoin, and so on and so forth. Do you think there is a lot of money to be made in doing accounting / tax work for people who need it in the bitcoin space? As I would think a lot of people who are involved in trading, exchanges, etc aren't complying with IRS / their tax authroity rules which they have to be complying too.

Plus, how many of you actually do your taxes for bitcoin anyway?
3129  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: I want to accept btc on my website. What is the best way? on: March 20, 2018, 03:05:38 AM
Use a service in the middle, like bitpay or coinbases merchant solution. This makes it so you don't have to worry about the volatility of bitcoin when you're accepting payments and if the price does crash it won't affect you at all. All of your money would be instantly converted into Fiat USD and then sent to a bank account. This is a much better (and safer) way for bitcoin to be accepted by people when it comes to the bottom line.

Wish ya luck!
3130  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Putin's victory in the presidential election affect the price of bitcoin? on: March 20, 2018, 02:48:21 AM
No, and it won't at all. This is because Putin was going to have a very easy victory, it's not like everyone thought he was going to lose due to him supporting crypto (this isn't true, I'm just making something crazy up) Putin was the favorite to win, and it would've had to be a crazy coup in Russia for him to have to lose his election.

Something that isn't a shocker isn't going to affect the price of any commodity.
3131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: NEWS US Congress Releases Extraordinary Report Praising Cryptocurrency on: March 20, 2018, 02:34:59 AM
While I do like the new news coming in, I don't think the best source of unbiased news is going to be a website called 'DailyHodl' That in and of itself isn't going to be a reliable source of news in any way as they're (of course) going to be biased towards the people that own bitcoin, and are going to continue to hold it. What we really need is a crusade for non-biased journalism. Journalism that can't be bought by people for the sake of them making themselves a few bucks.


We need to bring transparency back into the newsroom.
3132  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where do you spend your time talking about your TA with other traders? on: March 20, 2018, 02:03:02 AM
None of them are good, all of these chats are filled with people that are trying to get people to buy coins at certain prices, sell at certain prices, and so on and so forth. There's no need to be in a chat that is going to try to screw you for themselves as TA has been found to be relatively bullshit. It makes people feel good in times of the bull, though people run from it when the floor falls out.

Don't get involved with TA scum, it's a waste.
3133  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Expecting a bullish market on: March 20, 2018, 01:54:00 AM
Yeah I don't think one G20 meeting by a nonbinding body of people should really sway the market, though the market could simply shift the other way (start going bullish) and we could all say it's due to the fact that this occurred though I don't think that this random meeting is really going to change the minds, the hearts, and most importantly, the pockets of investors.

Who knows, I guess we'll see.
3134  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Agree or Disagree: Bitcoin loses intrinsic value as price increases on: March 20, 2018, 01:15:30 AM
I'd have to agree with you even though I'm a trader myself. As the value of Bitcoin continues to rise and rise, people are going to think that it's a way to get rich. This is something that we saw in the runup in December, and we're going to see again if the Bitcoin price is able to recover. So people do stop using it (or the people that used it drift into the minority) when the traders come into Bitcoin as a way to make money.

So yes, with a price increase comes an intrinsic value decrease.
3135  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain Unconfirmed Transactions where does The Money Go on: March 20, 2018, 12:22:27 AM
It'll go back to the person at some point, so it's not like it's going to be lost in oblivion if the transaction isn't confirmed. Though this does depend highly on the wallet that you're using, as some wallets know that they're able to reuse that money if it isn't confirmed after a set amount of time (given this is all for the sender, this isn't something the receiver would do without)

So yeah, not lost.
3136  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin digital gold? on: March 19, 2018, 11:40:11 PM
It depends on the way in which you use it. If you use it like a currency, then no it isn't even close to digital gold. But if you are to use it as an investment, it could be digital gold -- as you're just sitting around and waiting for it to be worth more (which is what a lot of people do with bitcoin and gold)

So yes and no, depending on the way in which you use / see bitcoin.
3137  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Good news for bitcoin as G20 says no crackdown for cryptocurrencies on: March 19, 2018, 05:21:43 PM
G20 has no legislative power, only the governments (Congress and the executive) of each individual control would be able to place regulation, legislation, and so on and so forth about bitcoin. So this isn't a victory, this is what should happen anyway.

G20 just offers recommendations,nothing of what they say is legally binding.
3138  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Old account question on: March 19, 2018, 05:15:12 PM
If you still know your wallet address, then you'd be able to see if it has any funds in it. If you've lost the wallet altogether the coins could still be there but you wouldn't be able to access them. So the only way it would have value is if you had the private key / password if it's an online wallet.

Got it?
3139  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Kore coin wallet let dev steal private key on: March 19, 2018, 04:44:44 PM
I'm 100% sure, all my posts in their annoncement thread and discode channle are delete immeadiately, I was kiked out of discourd channel 1 minute after raising concerns, I double checked everything, this is a crimal act, I will go to court if I someone can dox the main promoter

If you're going to make such a large claim like this on a public forum, you're going to have to toss up some evidence to support that claim. As no one is going to blindly trust you on such a serious allegation.

So yeah, toss up some evidence and then we'll reassess this.
3140  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Twitter will also be crypto like Facebook and Google? on: March 19, 2018, 04:30:15 PM
Yes, without a doubt. As a good amount of people are going to complain that they're getting scammed from 'crypto' ads, which are pretty much all scams on social media (as they're targetting the easiest people to scam and the most vulnerable)

So yes, they're going to ban crypto if they have't done it already.
