321  Economy / Economics / Re: Is fall of bitcoin from 16k$ good for bitcoin and alt-crypto? on: March 19, 2018, 06:10:54 PM
A fall in BTC's price is never good. It can be acceptable, but it's not positive. It gives reasons to media and governments badmouth Bitcoin, saying it's very dangerous and must be regulated/banned, investors become afraid about volatility and start panic selling, also, sharing their negative experience with others, who will also become afraid of investing in BTCs. A climate of uncertain and fear take control of the market.

Anyway, it's acceptable, because we know the nature of this market. At same time this volatile nature is what gives us hope that the market will recover on long term and show good results.

FoxBit deu um prazo de até 3 dias para que as transações fossem executadas para os respectivos endereços de Bitcoin/contas bancárias, no entanto este prazo já se esgotou e eu ainda não recebi meu dinheiro (já preenchi o formulário e enviei os dados solicitados por email).

Tentei entrar em contato via email novamente, mas não há resposta. O Twitter deles não atualiza com nenhuma nova postagem explicando aos usuários o porquê do prazo de 3 dias não ser respeitado. Realmente, o serviço está deixando muito a desejar...

Não consigo comprar na Foxbit. Toda hora isso.

Fica difícil, uma moeda com a volatilidade do bitcoin e quando precisamos nunca conseguimos comprar e vender em momentos estratégicos. Um absurdo.

Quando o serviço sera normalizado???

Disseram que a plataforma só volta dia 26 de março (no máximo).

EDITADO: Chequei agora e acuso o recebimento dos BTCs. Obrigado FoxBit, mas de qualquer maneira coloquem uma postagem no Twitter de vocês acalmando os usuários e colocando-os a par da situação.
323  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will BTC be a major in college? on: March 19, 2018, 05:38:52 PM
Not specifically BTC but cryptocurrencies in general. You think it will become a course of study / college degree at some point?
I think it can be done in some countries. But there are still many countries around the world that don't accept bitcoin. So in these countries, bitcoin is hard to be taught as a course in a university. Only when a country accepts bitcoin will it be realized.
Here in our country, it is not yet part of a major or any subject but my cousin told me that they have discussed bitcoin in their Economic class. So I think although it is not part of a major in college but it will somehow will put as a topic in one subject.

Yes, for now it's an informal subject, being discussed only as curiosity during classes. But at some time it will have to be part of the scholar subjects officially, because it's part of the history and a very present part of modern economy. Countries can dislike Bitcoin, but they can't ignore it forever.

However, even those countries that don't like Bitcoin, Uzbekistan for an example, like BTC's technology and have already signed they want to support developers and incentize their people to learn more about Crypto-Currency and Blockchain to continue developing the technology. In the end, their goal is to create a new Crypto-Currency backed by real assets, a centralized one.

I had some interest for Tether, but I have seen some negative speculation about that, so I didn't look for that anymore. The nearest Crypto-Currency to stability that I reach now is DogeCoin. Not so stable, but at least well known already to know it's not a farse and that there isn't anything behind it.
325  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When do you know its time to Stop? on: March 19, 2018, 01:38:00 AM
You can't really stop at any time the problem with most gamblers is they never stop they keep on gambling without any limits i would consider a profit of 20% is a lot if you are gambling but many aim for higher profits of 300% which seems to hard go achieve this preference surely varies but if you notice if you are able to earn 20% daily in 5 days you can easily double

20% profit is very good, but once you start playing every day/week/month always targeting 20% profit, at some point it won't work anymore. On long term it won't work. Like you say, 20% daily, in 5 days you double your money, but what is the difference between this gambler and the gambler who tries to double his money in one day?

The difference is that the second gambler will probably lose his money 5x faster.  Cheesy
(But all of them will lose money anyway).
Well, 20% profit is good for daily earning, but you can't assure that you have every day earn that profit.
A gambler who tries to double his money in one day? That gambler may lose everything his money by chasing to win for money, maybe out of control in gambling is have a bad effect on it. Don't let gamblings control you, you should be learned how to control your emotion in gambling then stop if 30% of your fund had lost and come back tomorrow.


but sometimes is impossible to control yourself , so how you could do that

Be strong, think about what you can do with your money instead of wasting everything in a gambling game session. Don't be greedy, find activities you can do in your life to replace gambling. Never play fully for profit reasons, and never bet money you will need later.

In this case, I could say be negative/pessimistic about gambling, probably gives positive results.  Cheesy
326  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I Love To See People Panic Selling Of Bitcoin on: March 19, 2018, 12:56:29 AM
I know there are people get their profit now, they bought their bitcoin on very cheap price and as the bitcoin's price go high there are many dumping their bitcoins. However new investors of bitcoin or should I say newbie on cryptocurrency are panic selling their bitcoin in the mere fact that they bought on ATH all time high price, I love to see that they learn and this is how we welcome all the newbies. Welcome to the cryptocurrency!!! Always learn from the mistake, that's the best strength we can get after losing, that's where we all started.

For me, it is strange thinking, but when you said, it is welcome for newbies then i agreed with you. But good trader never feel panic, and it is a quality of trader when we do trade without panic and deal with patienter. But majority of newbies trader are doing it, they feel panic in a day and then they sell  their coins and sometime they sell their coins in a loss. So it is also strange that we are welcome for newbie in trading and usually newbie are selling their bitcoins because of panic feeling.
Most of the new entrants to the market have not had much experience in keeping up the psychology and I am sure 80% of new people have sold all of their assets at very low prices. I think people are still selling panic and the cryptocurrency market is collapsing but I'm sure it will rise again on hold of the year.

It's normal when people are newbie to have panic and fear about the market. It's something new for them and they fear to be scammed (many people have already been scammed in the past on the internet) or lose money. But it's never too late to start again. They can have some losses, but sooner or later they will have to enter the market again, and it's better they watch the prices to do this on the right time.
327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If gambling is illegal in your country, would you still gamble? on: March 18, 2018, 08:39:57 PM
gambling is illegal in my country but I think there are many people still play gambling with secret because they don't want to go prison if they play in an open room. but I think there are a lot of gambling website that we can find so I think there is many people that play on the sites too because they can use anonymous IP to avoid the law.

Maybe tell us what country that is, I would guess that there are only a few that banned gambling completely as there are for sure some exception to that rule. Gambling is deeply rooted in most cultures and banning it will likely be something the public will not approve off. And yeah, there are still ways to gamble even if it is banned in your country. There are those underground ones and the online ones are easily accessible even with censorship.
I do not think we need to mention what country it is, but here too gambling is banned. Gambling is banned here for several reasons, the main reason being that there is a majority religion and that religion strictly prohibits gambling. So some of the rules in the religion are in place here, including the prohibition of gambling.

In my country, religion greatly opposes gambling as well as many other things. Gambling is a big sin for them and those who practice it (gamblers) are sinners and a bad model for younger and future generations. I have my religion and I have no problem with their rules but sometimes I get this feeling that maybe in what they do, discrimination is much being practiced than playing gambling. No offense meant, consider gambling as illegal but people are more driven to do what they are being prohibited. In fact, even if it is illegal, people still find a way to do it. For example, having online gambling sites that are very much easy to access for all of us who knows internet. Through this, we can play gambling without being seen on public, without other people knowing and with our identities hidden. With this, people can really play gambling on shadows not being afraid even if it is illegal.

Usually religions really disapproves gambling, especially protestant ones, but I know that many religious people gamble without issues, surely in illegal casinos or online casinos, because officially it's forbidden here too. One of the main reasons religions disapprove this it's because casinos are their concurrency. Instead of laudering money at casinos, people use the churches/temples to do this via "donations".

You will never be safe while gambling, doesn't matter your bankroll size.

What can help you to maximize your profit chances is to play at a low house edge casino, lowest as possible. As I know it's SafeDice with 0.5%, however their support isn't very active and I see some gamblers complaining about delay in withdrawls/deposits/support. Next lowest house edge casino I think it's Crypto-Games with 0.8%.

If you are trying to double your money or something like that, think twice, because you will probably end losing more money than earning...
329  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat, Banks and the future of Cryptocurrencies on: March 18, 2018, 06:08:04 PM
1. If somebody has experienced such complications with their banks already, it would be interesting to hear about their stories
Traditional banks usually don't like Bitcoin and in my country few of them have already tried to stop accepting money from exchanges or to exchanges accounts (like if the exchange was depositing money on my bank's account or if I was sending money to the exchange's bank account).

Then the exchange filled a suit against the bank(s) and one or few of them had to start accepting money from/to this exchange again. But the process took some time to finish and I'm not sure if it is the final justice's decision yet.

2. If more and more banks adapt similar measures (or even stricter ones, like some credit card companies disallowing financing of cryptos all together), what do you think the implications on the market place will be? For instance, do you think exchange without KYC's will suffer?
I believe without giving your personal informations to the local exchanges when converting the money to fiat you won't be able to deal with Crypto-Currency. While the money is on the internet in BTCs everything is fine, you can continue anonymous, but once it goes to real world the bureaucracy starts and there isn't much to do about it. The market won't suffer at all because there will be always gaps, mechanisms used by whales, big investors to avoid some bureaucracy. Exchanges might suffer a bit, but they can move their businesses to friendly countries, right?

Truly, the banks should suffer, because people can abandon their currently banks and search for new more interesting banks, that is possible to be done.

3. Do you think this could lead to "ICO heavens" where only ICO's will have a chance to survive that undergo a stringent background check that would be acceptable for banks?
If this happens Crypto-Currency will turn itself into the traditional financial system we have today.

In a doomsday scenario, I could even imagine banks globally to impose similar restrictions worldwide, and thus even killing the entire cryptomarket.
That is why national sovereignty is important, each country has it own rules (and if possible each part of the country), so we can have countries that are friendly or hostile to Crypto-Currencies, this way developers and enthusiasts can choose where to operate their businesses and in the end we will see on the practice what country's model works better.
330  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Gaming is now a Disorder on: March 18, 2018, 05:27:02 PM
When these organizations start complaining about something, the next step is to forbid it...

I agree gaming nowadays is much different from years ago. It used to be a fun activity, with many normal people involved talking to each other, sharing knowledge and experiences, very polite and agradable people. Now seems the biggest part of games' community is composed by problematic, frustrated minds, people that speak only bullshit and create conflicts with each other for nothing.

And some of these gamers are worshiped on their Youtube channels by other problematic children.
I believe it's just a reflex of familiar issues, and they find a refuge on the virtual games world where they are important, respected and feared. Anyway, it's not a positive environment like it was many years ago.

However, it's not a disorder for everyone and it should be very clear before the first specialist comes endorsing any kind of restriction to game's industry.

332  Economy / Speculation / Re: how bitcoin become more popular? on: March 18, 2018, 04:36:20 PM
It's already popular, everyone who pays attention to their news on their countries and acess internet have already heared about Bitcoin. But many of them still don't want to adopt the currency because it's very volatile and doesn't give any return guarantee.

As I see, the only way to make more people adopt this it's by centralizating the currency (turning it into legal).
Do you want this?
333  Economy / Speculation / Re: What will happen to bitcoin in 2018? on: March 18, 2018, 01:51:50 AM
Bitcoin has been hot, but many bosses think it is a big bubble. If you want to ask how the red currency will fare in 2018, some of the weaker bitcoin institutions think it won't be long, and prices will fall in 2018. The famously bold bank of Denmark has made a startling prediction: it will be back in its original form after it has shot up to $60,000, falling back to $1,000.


Deutsche bank has previously said the bitcoin crash would be one of the major risks of 2018. Ahead of the launch of bitcoin futures, deutsche bank warned that the bitcoin boom could pose a serious threat to the broader market in 2018.
Bitcoin is very questionable and no one knows what's gonna happen next. Anyone can make predictions but that predictions are not assured to be happen.

Yes, no one knows exactly what will be the next price increase to happen but I am optimistic that bitcoin will soon to rise back but expected bullish run may still be not feasible this time. I think this will happen maybe in the last quarter of this year just like the other year.

Maybe after this regulations' wave Bitcoin start gaining strength again. I agree it's unpredictable, because no one knows what is going to happen on the next months. Now the market is very pessimistic and in moments like this I believe it's better to not absorb much from these energies that just make us more worried and anxious about the future. For holders it's time to take a break and wait for useful news.
334  Economy / Speculation / Re: an annual tradition that can be a fortune on: March 17, 2018, 11:12:06 PM
but, why is there always someone who panics see it? and not even a few people are panicking at the current situation.
It's a common doubt among many enthusiasts. I see many people joined the market last year when BTC was skyrocketing really fast. They didn't have previous experiences with this market (the rises and falls, the volatility), they thought Bitcoin would continue on that positive trend for a long time and it didn't happen. So they became afraid and start selling.

Also, some big investors retreated because new countries' regulations. Guys who move large sums of money (some dirty money as well) affect the market a lot if they quit for a while.

IMO this is an opportunity for us to set strategy and take advantage.
It's impossible to set collective strategies here, we are talking about people from everywhere, that don't know each other, that don't have the same informations' sources, don't have the same interests, etc... Things tend to get better when new improvements are made in Bitcoin, like the possible Lightning Network for an example.

336  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Again on: March 17, 2018, 02:07:29 PM
So many exchanges suffering from issues these days... Or these hackers are really outstanding smart, or these exchanges aren't putting enough security on their platforms. I believe a considerable part of this issue is lack of professionalism, some problems could be avoided if exchange's managers were more cautious with precaution than with the later remediation.
337  Economy / Economics / Re: How many people in the world know about bitcoin? on: March 17, 2018, 01:47:49 AM
I believe at this point, 100% of everyone who has access to internet and television already knows about Bitcoin. In the middle of 2017, when BTC was skyrocketing, it was heavily promoted by the traditional media everywhere. However not everyone took the decision to invest in BTCs. They know that Bitcoin exists, but they don't know exactly how it works and they think it's a dangerous investment.
338  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much need Bitcoins for start crypto business? on: March 17, 2018, 01:02:28 AM
It depends the business you want to start. If you want to start an online shopping site you need to choose what products you will sell and then you will know how much you need to start (initial money to buy first batches of goods). The site itself is cheap, you will just need a domain and maybe a designer.

If you are a professional/average guitar player, offer your services at a pub, something like this to earn some money to start your business...
339  Economy / Economics / Re: do you think bitcoin is controversial ? on: March 16, 2018, 09:00:46 PM
It is really controversial in many ways. First the idea of a borderless and anonymous transactions are the thing that most users liked and the government doesn't really want. They are afraid that it might be used in illegal activities. Second payments online using this evades some of the taxes because it is borderless and is not directly bound by rules of the state. So this ends up in a lot of banning and questions by the government. This makes it controversial.

It's normal that something new like Bitcoin brings many polemic subjects to the discussion's table. Along the human history it have always happened.
I think we have reached a point that changes are needed and Bitcoin can help us this way, but those who are confortable with their lives since a long time ago don't want these changes and will do anything to keep their status. This impasse makes the controversy increases and take large proportions with so many news about bans, regulations, hacks, money laundering, scams...
340  Economy / Economics / Re: Shitcoins are necessary for the economy on: March 16, 2018, 06:21:43 PM
Everyone is free to create their own Crypto-Currency, it's useful for people who want to gain experience, train their skills, for hobby, fun, for personal purposes, etc. And it's not right to blame these developers and their coins. As OP said very clear, no one is forced to invest in any coin, you are free to choose what currencies to support. If you want to weak "shitcoin's" strength just don't put your money on them.

But they better not create weka shots by themselves. Many times it comes to mind that they are creating these sheets for their own greed purpose where they want to earn lot of money out of scams. It's all about the trust. Though it's our decision to get into crypto or not then also it's their fake advertising which attracts us and if we don't show trust at all then how their crypto will work anyways. So you see there should be bidirectional approach where we can trust the crypto inventors and they can trust us as well. In long terms coins turn into shits because crypto developers go crazy by making the project look like scam and somtiems it becomes real scan too. They are necessary or not don't know but they shouldn't be there at all.

Most of these coins are like a lottery game. Their success or failure is a mistery until it happens. It's hard to distinguish legit coins from fake coins at their early stages, but I believe it's part of the game... That is what makes this market interesting for many, the different probabilities.

For people who wants to avoid risk, they can buy a coin on its later stages, when the coin have already prooved to be a good deal or not, if it came to stay or to disappear like a Ponzi.

Once you restrict the currencies development because scams, all the legit ones will suffer together, especially for $$ reasons.
