My main purpose of buying crypto is to be rich, yes, that's how big my dream and I believe crypto will fulfill it.

there is no rich in the poll selection  .  buying crypto cant make you rich because crypto is only a currency that its main purpose is for buying but people mistaken it that crypto can change thier lives   .  the one that can make you rich is your self .  if you are a hardworking and has a lot of patience , you can make your dreams come true.

This is considered as one of the best investment since crypto is at the early stage still, and that means there's still big opportunity to make huge profit from it.

crypto is not one of the best investment because crypto is verry risky due to thier unstableness   and cryptos were not on thier infant stage because crypto is almost 10 years old but your correct that there are still lots of oppurtunity on the crypto scene  .
342  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can We Find Satoshi? on: April 11, 2019, 04:42:04 AM
I would rather not know who is Satoshi, as it might change the complexion of bitcoin.

when the great satoshi showed up , i believe the complexion of bitcoin will change but for the better  . satoshi will be invited  by the media and satoshi will cite his invention to the whole world . this removes the people'd doubt  and they will now start to love bitcoin  which can also result for the bitcoins value to move up .

recently  , there are lots of news regarding satoshi nakamoto  . some people claim that they are the real satoshi nakamoto but they cant show a signed message  to back thier legitimacy  .  until now satoshi nakamoto remains to be anonimous   .
343  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buying bitcoin with PayPal payment on: April 10, 2019, 10:17:58 PM
I just visited your site and jump into your Terms and Conditions page. It is required to do ID verification to use your service, this one will be the first thing that makes you lose interest from users who want to use service. There are many people dealing with Paypal-BTC or vice versa at the Exchange board, they do it peer to peer and they do not need to do KYC. So I believe people will prefer to do peer to peer exchange instead of using your site that requires KYC.
Yep I think the KYC on their website would be the reason why people wouldn't use it.
Besides there are so many ways to buy Bitcoin without doing KYC if we really want to buy some.

Kyc is not a major issue  . its okay to comply with their terms of doing a kyc as long as they are legit   and as long as you are really willing to buy btc with paypal . by the way , i checked the said site just now and found out that i cant see a preview of their main service . maybe because im only using a mobile ?  But if its the same on pc/laptop . id say their site is designed badly   .  for now , i only recomend the exchange board/section of this forum ( bitcointalk.org ) for doing currency exchange  .
344  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Top 5 Concerns About Bitcoin ? on: April 10, 2019, 08:34:06 PM
the top concerns/worries/risks that bitcoin posses is that
1. Volatility - price is not fixed

Thats not a concern because is normal . crypto is intended to be that way  . they are built with volatile feature but this can be our advantage because we can earn more when the price pumps and we can also buy more when the price dumps  .


2. You forget your key... u lose all your bitcoin. no help to restore... Its GONE

Whats the purpose of seeds and pharaprase ?  They are given this to you before ypu create your wallet so that you can recover your account once you loose your keys  but if you still loose this  . its already your fault because you are too careless of handling important stuffs.


3.Online scammers and hackers are prying the crypto world waiting to jump at a victim to wipe out their currency

Scammers  and hackers is not an issue because they are also normal  . before when cryptos are not invented they both already exist .  you can reduce your risk of getting them if you will only be careful and vigilant on what you do online



4. Gotta be the fact that it is banned in most major countries in the work making it hard to carry out a trade

Its not . only few countries are now left   . soon they are expected to accept cryptos  .

5. Lastly, Bitcoin, especially in its early days, was well known for its use on the Web, in money-laundering activities, or to purchase illegal items

What about kyc/aml ?  These implementations can now protect you from money laundering and other illegal use    . and it also depend on the user if he purpose will he use his bitcoin  .

345  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Take the profit OR hold on on: April 10, 2019, 08:01:13 PM
If I think it's better for me to hold it back because if I look at market conditions, Ethereum can still rise higher. However, if you are in doubt, it's better to sell immediately because you also have a lot of profits.
if at this time we have benefited, in my opinion there is no harm in selling and directly buying it again because currently holding too long is very risky so if I personally will take advantage as soon as possible and will invest as soon as possible

No meyt.  Holding too long is not risky but its safer and more profitable than doing short term trades but selling will all depend on how much did you bought your coins .  if you buy at highs last year , selling now wont be beneficial but if you buy it at lows , its okay to sell and earn some profits but you cant expect to buy back again because the price are seem to be steadily growing  .  
346  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What would you do to recover your losses? on: April 10, 2019, 08:26:56 AM
I think the safest decision in this case is to put extra funds in your portfolio by buying Bitcoin for USD.



you are loosing . your capital was invested in bitcoin and bitcoin suddenly go down but you are suggesting that investing more in bitcoin could solve the problem ?  there is a possibiity that the price can rise because of the demand  but only if you will be buying in large volumes or if others do also do what you already have done  . you can earn more if that happens but if not then you can expect too loose more .

for me . the safest way to recover a loss is to keep on hodling  because here in crypto investing , we dont loose permanently as long as we dont start selling .  but if your losses was made in gambling  , the only way to recover a loss is by betting again but you need to win the game first .
347  Economy / Speculation / Re: The BEST time to buy bitcoin is not there yet. on: April 10, 2019, 06:27:52 AM
as for 2019, the most likely highest price i will be 4k to 5k, very unlikely we are going to see anything above that.

The worst possible thing to hear this year... 💔

BTW, I think that you should post your analysis in Wall Observer BTC/USD thread.
But we’re just in Q2 and already having that more than $5k value,if this will continue then what according to this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5129663.0 will happen and that 7 weeks may surely brings us to that $6k breaking and again may test the $7-8k but ofcourse everything is speculative and no one can really tell what would be the value for tomorrow

nice prediction but your right . all of those are just mere speculations  . there is no solid evidence that they can occur  . price can change or reverse even if you saw that its already mooning  .  best time to buy bitcoin will be dependent on the user if what is his goals  . if he is aiming for long term then buying anytime is the best for him because he wouldnt mind waiting for years or decades just only to earn a profit  . if he a user is a short term investor , buying at highs is a bad idea    .  better if he will wait more  time for the value to decrease a little more   .
348  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why IEOs Came Into Existence? on: April 10, 2019, 04:56:00 AM
it is not just exchanges it is the ICO scammers who could no longer scam people by running the same old thing over and over again

no they are not . ieo's are backed by legit and big/famous exchanges  ( binance for example have thier own ieo )  so how can you say that they came from a scam ico's ?  the reason why ieo's exist is because they see that people are suffering from the frauds/scam ico's . they want to do something to save people from wasting their cash on these  greedy people  . yet  , there are still legit ico's out there but they are now harder to find .

this method will also soon die just like any other previous scammy methods have died.

did the ico died ? no right ? ico's are still here even though most of them are just plain scams  .  ieo's on a nutshell are more legit since they are came from centralized exchange  .  they wont die as long as there are still crypto   .  
349  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin has done it again on: April 10, 2019, 04:12:44 AM
Price increase will make good effect for people. Hope there are no bad news again from bitcoin like exchange get hacked or a country block it. I think bitcoin don't have any mistake because it is natural like other currency.

indeed . price increase give's us a good vibes and motivation to keep hodling but we must accept the fact that the price can still nose dive because bitcoin is still prone to manipulation  .  bad news are also present in this market that we are into  . that includes hacking and banning  . you cant say that bitcoin does not make mistakes because no one is perfect in this world . its obvious that bitcoin did lots of mistakes on the past .

Of course because everyone is hoping for Bitcoin to increase again and here it is happening already.
With the recent bullish trend, where big price increase has achieve, I believe it makes people happy and when they are happy, they are more willing to invest.

not all are hopping for the increase because some are also hoping for the decrease of the price  , they are namely investors  . and being happy does not always drive people to invest more  . some are happy because of the price hike and that results for them to sell  .
350  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: DUMP after PUMP! on: April 10, 2019, 02:00:03 AM
Well pump and dump and vice versa dump and pump are very common now-a-days.generally alts with low volumes usually experience such pumps and dumps and many fall victim to that.Pump-and-dump is the fraudulent practice used by whales encouraging unwitting investors to buy an asset to inflate its price artificially, and then selling it when the price gets high enough. Shocked Shocked
generally when volumes are very high we see such things occur quite less.So its better to trade in btc or any alts having more volume to minimize chance of losing money.
I agree completely, many people are dazzled when they see the profits they could get if they begin to trade altcoins with low market caps but the high volatility of those coins makes it almost impossible to get profits for the average trader, most the time the only ones that can get profits out of those coins are whales and those that were lucky enough to buy the coin before it pumped, so it is way better to trade the coins at the top of the market even if the potential profits are not as good.
Today, indeed, without a cryptocurrency market is very similar to a gamble. If you are lucky to buy cheap Coins, which subsequently increased their price several times, then such a user is really lucky to get a very good income. But it is very difficult to predict the development of the project today.
Trading isn't about luck you need to study the market to become a successful trader.
It would only be luck if you are just picking blindly on which one to invest in.
If you would just leave it to luck then why don't you just do it in gambling sites instead of waiting for a miracle .

Luck do still matter the most here in trading because the flow of the coins are verry unpredictable   . you didnt knoe if the will continue to rise or will fall down  . while in the case of gambling not all kinds of gambling games are based on luck  . some games like card and sports betting can be considered as a game of skills  .

@MidnightWolf its not what you call a luck  . its not that hard to chose and buy a coin at a cheaper price  . all you gotta do is to wait for the dip   .  dips basically occur at most times .  whats hard is that having a good capital  .
351  Economy / Economics / Re: what makes us good investors. on: April 10, 2019, 12:51:32 AM
What keeps emotions blocking your way is the fact that you are afraid to lose what you have. The other idea in connection to these is that the money you have invested is quite huge for you. Take these things out and you could wait without emotions holding you back even for a century because you are not afraid to lose your money. Perhaps do not start when your capital is very big. Start with a small investment that you are not aftaid to lose.

im an invesor and i only invest what can i afford to loose but i cant deny the fact that im still worrying about my investments  . i guess its normal for a  human nature to to be emotional and feel woried at all times most especially if that is about money talks  or money related matters  . what only makes a person a good investor is his investment choices  . he must posses a good knowledge and  skills so that he can win his trades more effectively  .
352  Economy / Speculation / Re: Whales are back ? on: April 10, 2019, 12:15:42 AM
Volume has been increasing since last week..is thia sign of whales entered into the market?
I think whales not go to anywhere and see market everytime. About volume that increased maybe they already take action and want to manipulate price of crypto. But that's all only opinion if whales really control market.
Why we have to be afraid of whales, in fact, they are helping the market to move and get benefiting by then also. We know whales is having a big role in crypto space and because of them, blockchain technology become popular cause of their hypes. We can't blame them either if they have to used that strategy( hypes) cause that's the way they'll become profitable and have that too. This means that everyone will have such benefits when hypes came out.

were afraid because whales are not meant to pump the market at all times  . whales do also dump the market  but this can still be beneficial to some if they are investors/traders that constantly buying at the dips  . @ the guy above  . yes your right  . whales dont go anywhere   . whales are always here scouting the market though the increase in the volume's can also be caused by other factors or reasons  ,  its not always the whales that cause the volume to move up  .
353  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETHEREUM MEW and its new look! on: April 09, 2019, 12:41:23 PM
The new face of ethereum website is very interesting as they upgraded their website and they put additional features to their website which is very useful.

But my problem in the first place is by adapting to their new feature as their are features that were erase unlike the old one. Old website let me set gwei and the new is already automated which is not good especially if the gwei goes higher.
Therefore as of right now, I have used the old one with few transactions especially the gwei is kinda high.  

the old one looks confusing and not user friendly . alot of user complain about the gwei thingy . they cant send because it causes an error and this result for them toggle the gwei meter  . new one that you mention is now automatic which was good because users wont now be confused  . they can just choose the coin that they want to send but they still need to ensure that they have enough eth so that it wont causes any error  .

To me it is very useful and beautiful. Moreover, we no longer have to use MetaMask. Thanks to Mobile Devices, Chrome Plug-in and Ledger connectivity, it meets every need. It was very good to be able to use it on my mobile phone.

we still need to use metamask because other users like me only have a private key option to unlock our wallet . meta mask is useful so that we dont need to paste our private keys too often and this reduced  the risk of getting phished ,
354  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Bull is in the Crypto Arena on: April 09, 2019, 10:53:38 AM
The market is still in the bullish. The bull stayed for more than a week now and investors are really glad about this market's state. Last year wasn't that good and everyone waited for this to happen. Some says it is just a trap for traders and investors but my charts are saying otherwise. Let us wait for the huge pump, fellas!

No one knows if this is really the start of a great bull run that will exceed the price of BTC last 2017.

One this is for sure, All the signs and volumes is present, A good indicator that we are in the steady rally until the year ends. Lets just hope that there will no sudden pump or else we will experience another sudden dump

the bull run is officially started but no one really knows if this bull run can become better compare to the last bull run that we experience on the year 2017 . the sign is there and the volume is a bit high but that does not mean that a rally will or can continue until the end of the year  as we all know that there were too many factors that could affect the outcome of the coins  .  and why you are afraid of a sudden pump ? you must feel great when pump occurs because we all want pump so that we can sell our coins at a higher price  .  pump isnt the only way for the price to dump because anytime the dump can also happen.
355  Economy / Speculation / Re: Get ready for lots of negative articles on bitcoin on: April 08, 2019, 12:44:52 PM
we know that every pump or bull run there's a lot of negative articles are spread.

this year is different because i dont see any negative news ever since we hit january  .  all i see is mostly positive news such as high price predictions .

Who cares about those Fud creators? Are you going to be affected?

we veterans wouldnt care too much about them but fuds are a big threat to newbies that are getting started on cryptos  . newbies will more likely believe the fudsters  .

these people,for sure those are paid posters from whales to bring market ups and down

i didnt know that whales can hire a poster to post fuds  . why hire someone if they can do it by themselves ? they are more experienced and posting doesnt take too much time especially if they will post negative and false statements  .
356  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ukraine - man arrested for stealing bitcoins and altcoins on: April 08, 2019, 10:53:32 AM
_ snip _

Well this should be a lesson that if you want to just store your crypto for a long term then don't trust the exchanges.
This is the reason why we have to keep our own funds in our own wallet.
There are ao many wallet that we could use why should we leave it at an exchange for a long time?

So you think storing your coins on a wallet is considered safe ?  On hardware wallets yes because they are offline but if your only using online wallets no .  online wallets dont differ from exchanges because a hacker can always access your account and steal your coins  .  but its not bad to trust them if you know to your self that you are using a legit service/platform  .  i myself have been an avid user of online wallets ( several kinds of them )  but as of now i dont get experience to be hacked  .  
357  Economy / Speculation / Re: When you win does someone else have to lose. on: April 08, 2019, 09:37:15 AM
Winning usually comes from competition. And in any competition there is a winner or  loser. Soooo probably yeah,  there's bound to soneone who will lose. No hard feelings. It's one or the other. Both competitors, in any field, do their best to claim victory and there always has to be one victor.

In this scene that we are working  right now ( specifically cryptos )  there is no competition here . there is no need to rush because the game here is about waiting .

 the longer you wait the higher chance that you will earn more  but this also depends on the coin of your choice  .  not all coins can rise and pump in the longer run  , only top coins such as bitcoin , eth , bch and others  are the ones that have the potentiall to do this  .

@op yes its true.  When some one sells at high others hodlers loose because the value can suddenly go down but this will still recover if the hodler has a patient to wait .
358  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Dominance and Bitcoin Meme on: April 08, 2019, 08:07:11 AM
We all know that everything start from bitcoin so the enthusiast must be concentrate from it.
I won't be surprise at all when by time, the trend continue to downtrending when there is getting no demand on it

So should we surrender ? As long as you believe, just keep hold it !

its already given that everyone is concentrating on bitcoin but why you are saying that there is a possibility of the trend to go down  ? and whats worst is that that demand for bitcoin will become zero ? how come when bitcoin is too useful ? no person on this earth will resist to use and forgot bitcoin  .  they can only forget other cryptos but bitcoin  ?  nah i dont think so   .    bitcoin is still dominating on the current year ( 2019 )  and the meme's are also growing along with it  but that's not bad    .   meme's can help bitcoin to become more dominant   .
359  Economy / Speculation / Re: I SMELL FOMO on: April 08, 2019, 07:10:50 AM
What's your opinion on this?? Bitcoin seems too be accumulating value since Tuesday morning... the bull is here.. ?? Or it's bait??
To me the bull is here and it is not FUD or FOMO.  We can see steady grow in bitcoin and others cryptocurrencies market price since the middle of last month and it is still growing.  Bitcoin may cross $6000 this week and it means if you have bitcoin you should keep holding it. 

the price is growing but its not steady because the price falls and it recovers again after a day or two  . this is a bull run for me , i dont know if what others are thinking  .  like what you have said . bitcoin may cross 6000 usd but that does not means that everyone will be hodling thier coins  because this price point that we currently experience is already a good oppurtunity for some to sell thier coins because they bought thier coins at a lower rate  .  those people that continue hodling are maybe greedy or they just bought thier coins at a much higher price  .
360  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What is the best coin buy now? on: April 08, 2019, 06:20:19 AM
In 2017 I invested about $800 in Primalbase ICO (PBT, Waves based token), you can see at: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/primalbase/, first I thought the project was dead, but now they are active again and they clearly have a product that of course PBT is very feasible we buy now.

800usd ? that was a big money for just an ico knowing that ico's are pretty risky  . good for you that the project have recovered but anyways , goodluck  . if you double your capital then good for you but if not then that is a lesson to learn .  invest only small amounts on ico but dont limit your self when investing on the real investments such as bitcoin and etherium .  speaking of btc and eth  , both coins are still the best coin to buy now knowing that thier value have not yet recovered too much   . everyone is sensing that the bull is coming for these coins , so what are you waiting for ? hope on and join the ride  .
