321  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bear market,a blessing in disguise on: April 14, 2019, 08:03:28 AM
As Einstein said, you can't get different results by trying the same things. For this reason, a development in the crypto money market should be shown.

And that is why, IEOs, STOs, and different coin offerings are being launched in the market, just like in real life, happiness could be found for seeking something new, not always being contented to what we already have. In that case, market of cryptocurrencies needs to adopt to changes in order for this to happen.
People needs to adopt it so the market will change.
IEO is the solution to the problem and it attracted the investors again, the bear market is part of the cycle, it's always a blessing at this time
since smart trader can appreciate the opportunity to buy, only newbie would hate the bear market because they think bitcoin only move uptrend.

Change ?  No we dont need change anymore because the market and cryptos are already perfect and doing good  . the market is now starting to improve with or without the help of ieo's and other institutions out there  but theres no problem if people want to adapt these new stuffs  . newbies in a nutshell dont hate the bear because newbies love to enter the crypto and they are waiting for the price of cryptos to go down  . lastly , bear is not always a blessing because sometimes its a curse especially for the people like me that does not invest .
322  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: the new model of fundrising is IEO on: April 14, 2019, 07:03:07 AM

ieo maybe safer than ico's because we can easily choose on who is legit and who is not but the chance of loosing is still be there because every investment is risky . ieo owners can dump thier project same as what he had on crypto but the chance of earning is also high because ieo's are slowly getting momentum  .

from the summer it was obvious that ICO dies

no they didnt  . ico didnt totally die because if we can see there are still ico bounties on this forum and on other websites as well   . ico will even more try harder to be able to attract investors because they are now threatened  by a ieo's  .
323  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Opinion on 'Bitcoin and Friends' Animation Series on Youtube on: April 14, 2019, 05:31:58 AM
The first minutes i was a bit doubtful but i liked the first episode. Shared it in of topic when i spotted the video.
Anyone knows when epi 2 will be released ?

Edit: found the answer here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5128762.msg50548951#msg50548951

According to their website, they want donations before the episode will be released,  so next episode needs a sponsor to be released.
They need 2,77 bitcoins before we can watch it.
Seriously? Isnt it too much for the video? Also they can already get a good profit from youtube and we can help by just sharing the video on social media and etc..

BTW I find the video so funny I didnt get bored on the whole 22mins.

2k and 77 bitcoins as donations ? wow that was indeed too much  . its not that hard to create a video nowadays because theres alot of software and tools for video creation that are now available for free on the internet  . bitcoins is also hard to obtain nowadays due to the increasing value   .  btw speaking of donations , there were also asking for donations here in the forum its for the purspose of helping some children  but they only recieve small amount of bitcoin .  imo that was more important than this bitcoin video   . so how can they expect alot of donation ?
324  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How will you teach bitcoin if someone does want to know coming from you? on: April 14, 2019, 04:13:52 AM
Tell them about making money opportunity from bitcoin from the investment side.


This may sound bad but this was the easist way to explain bitcoin to others because people do always love to listen when it comes to money talks and earning oppurtunities  . infact this was also my method to encourage others to join bitcoin and bitcointalk but unfortunately all of them are just plain lazy  . they stop doing everything after an hour or a day   .


I hope before you explain, you already know how the investment work so you don't have trouble to explain.

Indeed .  this sounds easy but most us failed with it  . they encourage other people to a wrong investment project  and they will both loose at the end  . some encourage other people to join crypto but they dont state that crypto is too unstable . as a result , many people blame crypto and crypto gains a bad reputation .
325  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Binance Report Claims That Less Than 7% of Crypto is Owned by Institutitions on: April 14, 2019, 03:34:55 AM
There is a thread here lately with a title : Do you think Institutions secretly HODL Bitcoin?

Heres the link : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5104633.0

I think this thread of yours serve as an answer for the link that i posted above  .

Now what  if  institutions hodl a crypto ?  I think this was a good news and we must be happy for it because this adds to the price of cryptos  although 7% may seem to be small  but thats better than nothing
326  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What motivated you to get into Bitcoin and Blockchain in general? on: April 14, 2019, 02:11:23 AM
The day i got into bitcoin is when I went up and search for ways earning money online as a student,yeah im a broke student before i met bitcoin.Ive read an article and watch few videos of people using faucets to earn bitcoin back in the days when faucets are still paying good.That what motivates me when i get my first pay way back 2016

We were on the same boat actually because that was also the reason why  i discovered bitcoin and i found out that bitcoin is a crypto and crypto works under the blockchain system .  all of us didnt know the importance of blockchain until they started using a crypto therfor we must also give credits to the blockchain technology because without blockchain tech.  Cryptocurrency wont also be possible   and of course we must not also forget this forum ( bitcointalk )  because this forum is the first website to spread crypto and blockchain information  .
327  Economy / Economics / Re: Will Africa be a good place for crypto? on: April 13, 2019, 01:00:06 PM
And how is Africa different from the other world?

They say africa is a huge country and its obvious that they had a huge population . now if people in this country will join crypto , the adoption of crypto is expected to grow massively  .

Its developed areas will definitely be able to take part in the full development of the blockchain, less developed will be workers in bounty companies.

Anyone can work on a bounty no matter what is the status of their life  and anyone can also take part on the development of the blockchain  . its about the willingness of the person that matter the most  .

I think an African is not up to bitcoin. Many even have no internet. After 50 years it will probably be so but not now.

They say that africa is now a well develop country . so theres a probability that most cities do already have an internet connection  .  africans are also smart and they are willing to learn the new technologies including bitcoin  .
328  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) on: April 13, 2019, 10:40:40 AM
so can you give your opinion on whether IEO or ICO will survive on the long run

Frankly, IEOs are just another way for exchanges to scam innocent investors. I still prefer the regular ICO, which stands true to the inherent abilities of the project to raise funds and that in its own way creates a fundamental premise for a project's long term survival. I mean, why would I want to depend on what an exchange thinks about a coin before investing. It's a cheap way to endorse a project and thereby making huge profits off investors.

Ieo's are i think safe and less riskier because exchange is at risk here  . we all know that its hard to build reputation if you are an owner of the exchange  . ieo investors will tend to choose a project that is already backed by big and popular exchanges such ad binance , houbi and kucoin  . though the scamming and frauds are still possible in the future because  scamers can always create a dummy exchange to start their own ieo  .
329  Economy / Economics / Re: What the true believers know but don't express well on: April 13, 2019, 09:04:46 AM
Of course the true believers would always have faith in Bitcoin.
We believe that as long as it still got a value even if it is small there are still a chance that it would get high again.
It would always have a value and would always get high again.

If you have faith in bitcoin , you will hodl bitcoin  . everyone knows what you are doing because everyone can see your balance . that isnt a valid answer imo because if you read the questiom carefully it says that " what you know but you dont express "   for me i know that bitcoins are volatile but i keep on continue what im doing without showing any emotions about how risky bitcoin is due to its unstableness   .  other one is the price of bitcoin , i know that i can get wealthy someday if i pursue my dream but i dont show it to anyone or i dont say it to the people around me that anything is possible to happen with bitcoin .
330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen in the new bullrun without the past huge power of Tether? on: April 13, 2019, 06:39:57 AM
This bull run won't be the same as last year. whatever the reason, it's difficult to make things like that. especially without Tether's help this is just like a mediocre increase.

How can you say that ?  Cant you see the price is now increasing , this can be a sign bull run . and its also too early to tell because we are still starting the year  .  wait till we reach the month of october and up .

 that months are said to be the make or break of the cryptos  but im pretty sure that the value will be the same again as what we experience before on the year 2017  . how much more next year when there will be a said halving   .

Tether on the other hand is only a stable coin  .  its usefull but the price of bitcoin and bull run will not depend on it 
331  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Greed is bringing loss for traders on: April 13, 2019, 05:41:12 AM
This is definitely greed that will make losses and disasters for traders, we must be careful in trading not to get caught up in a situation that would destroy us

Greed can make a trader loose but for others that are not greedy , they still experience to loose because of wrong coin choice and bad decision making  but loosing is a good way to reliaze your mistakes  . this can change you to become a good and succesful trader in the long run  .

it would be better to trade wisely and honestly even though the results are not as we expected

Trading wisely is a must but i dont think that honesty can help you win your trades  .  accepting your loss is good and it makes you more professional  but take time to learn from your mistakes so that you wont be loosing again on your next trading seesion .
332  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 4 Things Traders Must Do To Be Successful on: April 13, 2019, 03:14:36 AM
I think as a trader, I don't think you are afraid to see market prices fall,

we cant deny the fact that most of us are still afraid when the market falls its because money is at risk here  . we value our money because money is not easy to earn nowadays   but to some traders are already used to it.  there are aware that the ups and downs were only normal and part of the game  . once the market drops , they can still recover thier capital as long as their wait and hodl  .


Another couple of things (which might be quite enough for success)

Do not trade on your own money

huh ? but  how can you trade if you dont have a money  ?  you mean using someones money ( e.g money of your mother , or of your friend ? ) thats a no good idea  meyt .
333  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any real use for bank-backed cryptocurrency ? on: April 13, 2019, 02:19:20 AM
Ripple(XRP) is a virtual currency that is backed by banks. In fact, the creator of XRP are banks. There is a thread last year that says that "should ripple be trusted?" That question was raised since XRP was made by the banks and banks are only care for themselves and not people. That's why many people on that thread starts selling ripple. For me, there's no case of ripple to be determined as a non-trusted coin. Since, the growth of it is amazing.

no one says that ripple is a non trusted coin some but some says that ripple was a bad coin , some says ripple was not a real crypto  . anyway what the op only ask is what are the real use of crypto that is backed by banks  . ripple for example , i dont really know if what if its real purpose on why it is built but i see that ripple is still on the top 3 list  ,  so i guess ripple is only good for investment purposes and for a currency use as well due to its low fees and faster transacting time  .
334  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Why Bounty Hunters Should Be Exempted from KYC/AML Procedures on: April 13, 2019, 01:33:54 AM
I think it is because there are many cheaters and fraudsters participated in bounty campaigns.
They are using many accounts to gain more reward and this is of course will bring disadvantage to hunter who work with single account.
I also think like you. Many bounty hunters have a lot of accounts to participate in a bonus campaign. Therefore, people who have only 1 account will lose a lot.

how you will know if a bounty hunter has alot of accounts  ? not all have an alt account  . the people or the bounty hunter that only have 1 account will not loose a lot but the owner is  but they wouldnt mind it because that is what they want . they hire people to advertise thier company/project   . kyc/aml is not the right tool to use if a campaign want to eliminate abusers  because kyc/aml is only built for more important purpose , specifically for money related activities such as investing from an ico or withdrawing excess amount of cash/cryptos thru a wallet and online exchnages  .
335  Other / Off-topic / Re: Fake topic started by an idiot theif. on: April 12, 2019, 07:55:36 PM
It will not pump that much as it did before in year 2017. There will be time for it when investors see a speck of hope that bitcoin will increase again. Lets learn to have more chance to accumulate while the price isnt that high yet.
the increase might not be as high as 2017. but when bitcoin experienced an increase it was good enough to make trading go up again, which triggered investment into the crypto market even though it was still in a small volume. some time ago we could see extraordinary trade growth, now it might decline but there is still hope for future growth again.

the small increase can give attraction for potential investors to enter or to invest more  , this can result for the price to hike . sure it is small but if this continues , the price can stack and this can lead for the history to repeat itself  .  soon we can experience the 2017 era again  .  now back to the original question of did the bear market ended ended ? id say yes  . in own opinion the bear market has already subsided because i see that the price is now staying at 5k+ usd  but i dont think that we can this a bull run because the price is pretty small to be consider one .
336  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin Beat Banks? on: April 12, 2019, 07:16:03 PM
It is unlikely that the btc replace the usual currency. But become an investment like gold can. As for the means of payment on the internet, it is suspected that the coin is weak. Little bandwidth and not a cheap transaction.
That's right, because banks have created paper currency, while all over the world have used paper currency as a daily transaction tool, so it is very difficult if BTC can defeat the Bank.
It will really be difficult for BTC to defeat something that affects the entire world, before paper currency was even approved as means of payment against the popular trade by barter then, it took many international bodies to comes together to agree on using it to replace trader by better, so for Bitcoin to defeat banks which we are automatically saying will defeat fiat.

It means it has to be in paper form too and agreed as a uniform means of payment by so many international bodies which I really don’t see happening and bitcoin didn’t even come to do that, bitcoin came to personally assist out financial transactions in running smoothly and void of interference.

if barter was replaced by fiats , there was also a possiblity that fiats can be replaced by bitcoins or cryptos in general if ever all people on the world will agree to use bitcoin as a standard currency  but like what said , it takes alot of time and it take alot of process before it could succesfully happen  . besides bitcoin is also kinda bit new so there is no reason to force it or to force anyone to join and use this kind of currency  . anyway , bitcoin is already proven itself that it can beat the banks and fiat system .
337  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Listing kills a coin? on: April 12, 2019, 06:37:45 PM
Listing in an exchange is very important in an ICO because its the only way you can earn from it.

not only from an ico but to all projects as well  . listing isnt about earning because not all coins can have a good value after listing  but let say the coins wil have a good value after listing , some people will buy the coin because the coin is useful not only for profit making but also on other things we well .

Its also pretty normal for the price to drop after listing because most people are not actually into new coin immediately but give it time and the price will improve.

thats true . some people dislike new coins because they think new coins are shady  or only built for a pump and dump purpose  but some like new coins for the same reason because they want easy profits  .

Also the current market condition also affects the listing value of a certain coin.

true again   .  when the market is in bad shape , newly listed coins are also affected . their value can drop but if the market is healthy , the coins can also grow imediately .
338  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: can you reverse or cancel a bitcoin transaction? on: April 12, 2019, 01:04:45 PM
In hitbtc, you can. Once you ordered to send the money and confirmed it you can always cancel it but the fee will be reduced. So if your money is. 05 btc and the fee is .0015 btc then when you cancel it, the funds you can get is only. 0485 btc.

It can be done by the exchanges only as they will do by their own pocket but in blockchain bitcoin transaction cannot be cancelled once it is confirmed by the blockchain. Until the transaction is not confirmed or included in the block it will get cancelled for example if you have set very low fee then your transaction will get cancelled automatically after some time as no miner will included it in their block.
Well said but i would like to clarify that theres no cancelation of your transaction if you do set out very low fee.Its still broadcasted on the network but
due to low fee it would have the tendency or chances that it will got stuck or wont confirm at all yet it wont be pushed by miners but on the current condition
theres no problem with fee though yet they are on the lowest possible amount.
Ya you are right that right now the fees is low but in past when the fees was high that time if you have set very low fee then it can cancelled automatically after some time/days. As it is not broadcasted by any miner. I have experienced this as once in that time i had set low fee and was waited for more then a week for my transaction to get cancelled and then i got my coins back in my wallet.

the situation is still good because the money goes back to your wallet. what if the money comes from the exchange and you are sending your money to another exchange. and it got unconfirmed for a week. what is the next step for this? does anybody here experienced such situation from an exchange? and how did you approach that situation?

a several hours of waiting is not normal anymore , how much more if its over a day or two but in your case its been already a week and you dont recieve your funds  .  better if you can contact the support of the exhange that you are using of you can use some kind of accelerator service  online  . that is what i do if one of of my transactions have been stuck for a longer time  .  and if im not mistaken there is also a service or a wallet/exchange that allows you to put extra fees or to modify the fees of your previous transaction ( the unconfirmed one ) because you maybe putting a verry small fee in which miners ignore it  .
339  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: AGAIN: China says it wants to eliminate bitcoin mining on: April 11, 2019, 08:40:11 AM
All governments in the world treat negative cryptocurrency

not all meyt  . recently i saw a statistic made up by some user which say that there are now 110 countries that allows and legalize the use of cryptos and the rest 10 countries are under review  .

Seeing this situation is what makes the bitcoin situation increasingly threatened and makes the value of bitcoin fall rapidly because China is one of the biggest Bitcoin exchanges in Asia.

there was a news on the past that say china had ban crypto and ico's  but the price did not fall too hard  . now if the banning will happen , i dont think that the price will fall too much  .  chinese will always find a way to use thier cryptos  even if its risky  .

They want to ban mining, but they still allow some company or individuals to mining bitcoin.

if they allow some to continue mining then that is not a total ban  . the ban can only be happening on several region or cities  . there is a good chance that the bad is only for temporary purposes  .
340  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: No trades without loss on: April 11, 2019, 07:59:33 AM
In trading you really need a lot of money for you to recover your investment,

no meyt , what your saying is not true  . trading does not need alot of money . when you trade you will only need amounts that you can afford to loose .  once you loose you dont loose permanently , you can always recover your losses once you have the guts keep on hodling  and once the coin that you hold will recover  .

But if you're just getting started It would be nice for you to invest a little amount of money so that you can practice what you are about to do.

if you want to practice you can use demo trades . alot of exchange nowadays have that feature  . that is a good way to build experience and skills without risking any cents .
