341  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin halving. on: February 07, 2020, 05:18:30 PM
In essence, halving is provided on the Bitcoin network in order to protect Bitcoin from inflation, although this moment is a little incomprehensible to me, since everyone knows that there is exactly a certain amount of Bitcoin.  And if we talk about how halving the rewards of miners will affect the price of bitcoin, then you can study the early situation in the past halving.  One way or another, in 2013 the price of Bitcoin increased slightly, but after the previous halving in July 2016, we observed a rapid increase in the price of Bitcoin in the flesh until 2017.  Based on this, we can assume a positive effect of the halving on the pricing of Bitcoin and on the entire cryptocurrency market.

Of course, it is very strange to listen to the statement of many cryptocurrency users that there is something in common between Bitcoin and the coronavirus in China.  But in this situation, we are missing a very important thing, which consists in the fact that, according to expert analysis, almost 70 or 80% of all Bitcoin miners are located in China.  Based on this, one can still assume a certain influence of the situation in the Chinese state on the cryptocurrency market.
343  Economy / Speculation / Re: Start buying on: February 03, 2020, 05:09:52 PM
If we do not take into account all the forecasts regarding the future of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, then each of us knows what the future of Bitcoin is capable of and, therefore, in the current state of the cryptocurrency market, it is very profitable to invest in Bitcoin.  Of course, the most profitable was investing at the end of 2018, but a good opportunity for investment activity at a particular moment does not always develop.  And many investors who do not have the necessary amount of money invest a small amount of money each month in BTC and, with the help of such a strategy, improve the chances of future results.
344  Economy / Economics / Re: Question about inflation and debt. on: February 02, 2020, 01:51:23 PM
This could be the solution to Venezuela's hyperinflation rate as of the moment. The country's been in a bad debt lately and their money pretty much is worthless right now. They have little to none to work out, so basically what they could just do to alleviate this is to sell stuff they already have. I don't further details regarding the issue in Venezuela's economy but as I was saying thsi could be a viable solution

Hyperinflation is not a cause

It is an effect of and a consequence to some underlying problem (a host of problems) which reveals itself in many ways, while hyperinflation is only one of them (but probably the most conspicuous and telling). The point is, you can't effectively deal with it without dealing with this deeper problem as it would be like fighting with a symptom of a disease instead of overcoming the disease itself

And the main problem with that problem (pardon the pun) is such you can't solve a problem by relying on those who are creating this problem in the first place ("If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem"). In other words, solving Venezuela's economic woes first and foremost requires dismantling the whole political system there, which is a grave problem in its own right
According to research, oil reserves in Venezuela account for 18% of global reserves.  For example, you can bring Saudi Arabia, which has 16% of the total global oil reserves.  And now you can compare the standard of living of citizens of Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, as well as the degree of development of the economy of these countries.  After analyzing all the available information, one can accurately answer the question posed that it is the shockless and corrupt government of Venezuela that does not allow the country's economy to develop and that it practically steals everything that should belong to the people of Venezuela.
345  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto Taxation on: February 02, 2020, 01:24:00 PM
I myself am from Ukraine and still live in this country and today, in fact, cryptocurrency is legalized and every cryptocurrency asset is recognized as a means of payment, a valuable asset and an asset for investment, but there is a certain framework for taxing activities on the cryptocurrency market.  In any case, no user will pay tax on the available cryptocurrency reserves in their wallets, but taxes will be levied only on very large transactions when trading cryptocurrency.  Since the cryptocurrency market in my country so far has been out of sight, that is, it was in the shade, we still have to imagine seeing how all this will work when citizens show interest in cryptocurrency assets.
346  Economy / Economics / Re: Halving is approacing: HOLD YOUR BITCOINS AND NEVER SELL THEM (118 days left) on: February 02, 2020, 01:01:15 PM
I think not till the halving but one should think about before the halving one should actually sell , on the halving the price is drastically gonna fall a lot , because the bitcoins will be at their highest in long long months and now one should understand that if it's like that then sooner or later people will sell and the market will go down and you will still sit waiting for the next halving and we have already started seeing all the affects of the halving.
And to all the people calling Corona virus an epidemic trust me it's not that yet.
As usual, speculators will in any case react to what is happening on the cryptocurrency market.  If the price of Bitcoin rises to a maximum level and lingers at that level for a certain period, then speculators in any case will increase the volume of “supply” of Bitcoin in the market in order to lower the price, since it will be profitable for them to make cryptocurrency price fluctuations rather than stabilize them.
347  Economy / Economics / Re: Everything you wanted to know about BTC futures but were afraid to ask! on: February 02, 2020, 12:26:54 PM
Very often, cryptocurrency users complain about Bitcoin futures, because, in their opinion, before the expiration of fixed-term contracts, the price of Bitcoin reacts to these circumstances and is actively declining.  I couldn’t find a balanced answer anywhere on this question, although it seems to me that trading in Bitcoin futures is much less than the volume of trading in the cryptocurrency market and therefore can not fully influence bitcoin pricing.
348  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Many big powers agains crypto on: February 01, 2020, 12:35:10 PM
I am not surprised. If Bitcoin gets worldwide acceptability, then the role of the middlemen in the financial sector will come to an end. When I mean middlemen, I am talking about the bankers, hedge fund managers, and those who operate money transfer and remittance services. Now Bitcoin is a direct competitor to these people and it pose an existential threat for them. Who will pay 10% for remittance service, if the same can be done with a Bitcoin-based system with just 1% fee? Also, who will keep the money in a bank account, if Bitcoin allows you to create your own wallet and store the money all by yourself?
I completely agree with your words, where you express the possibility of ending the detrimental influence of intermediaries on the world economy and on the quality of services for users.  But I would also like to mention the fact that if Bitcoin is legalized and recognized worldwide as an international cryptocurrency, means of payment and a valuable digital asset, this will lead to the completion of the state’s monopoly on increasing the amount of paper money that provokes huge inflation.
349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Increasing Number, Who Own 1 bitcoin on: February 01, 2020, 12:13:45 PM


I got my first mBTC sometime in 2012, and ever since that date I have created dozens of Bitcoin wallets. I have/had accounts with dozens of cryptocurrency wallets and they alone should number ~20-25. On top of that, I had created a dozen or so wallets in Blockchain.info, before moving my coins elsewhere. It is hard to calculate, but my guess is that I may have created close to 100 Bitcoin wallets. As of now, I am storing my BTC in around a dozen different wallets (including exchange wallets, online wallets, hardware wallets and paper wallets).
Have you created such a large number of cryptocurrency wallets for security purposes or based on the technical requirements of your assets? Maybe I do not own a very large amount of bitcoin, but I have one hardware wallet, of which I am sure of security.
350  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in football on: February 01, 2020, 11:18:10 AM
I believe that not only bitcoin, but the whole cryptocurrency is very sharply and deeply embedded in big sports.  Even football is no exception today, as many teams advertise cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency company logos, as well as new teams trying to create their own tokens in order to support their fans.  For example, the West Ham United, Roma, Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Galatasaray football teams are connected to the Socios blockchain platform and are successfully starting to implement plans to create their fan tokens.
351  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin cannot be decentralized if the Internet is centralized on: February 01, 2020, 10:48:03 AM
I agree with the author.
Bitcoin is connected to the Internet, nothing can be done about it. Of course, there are paper wallets with bitcoins, but how to check them without the Internet? They may be complete or may be empty.
And if you suddenly do not have an Internet connection, then your bitcoins become practically nothing, they exist, but you cannot spend them.

As far as I know, we have these offline wallets but I don't think that is that good since I don't see or hear anyone talking or using it anymore. Another thing is that we are accessing our bitcoins through our bitcoin wallets, a bitcoin wallet is our key to our bitcoin that is why we can't really do anything about it. Here's the thing though, you can still access your bitcoins even the government ban it in your country, it is not like they can stop you from accessing it.
One way or another, bitcoins can lose their independence, and cryptocurrency users do not anonymize because of the centralized Internet, but because the legalization of cryptocurrencies will enforce certain laws.  In addition, the use of the Internet to work with cryptocurrency, in particular with bitcoin, is only a connection and nothing more, since in some cases you can even use Bluetooth to complete a transaction, about which discussions are very hot today.
352  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A good advice for every traders. on: January 31, 2020, 08:39:14 PM
Personal logic with business logic must be one-way. If we don't manage to make the smart trades the losses are going to be massive and the wins will be tiny. You have to keep a close record of your trades and make sure you don't get stopped out in these massive fields of chopiness. You have to stick to your strategy if you trust it and have good money management.

I believe that a professional trader does not have any problems with analyzing his transactions and in general with practice.  Personally, I am constantly questioned by certain actions or plans, because I still do not have much experience in cryptocurrency trading.  Even when mastering scalping technology, I very often doubt the decision on which graphs to pay attention to, on the graphs of 30 minutes or one day.  Although for the most part it depends on the chosen coin.
353  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Full time trading is boring on: January 31, 2020, 08:26:08 PM
It is not like you are forced to look at the charts 24/7. You can take breaks from time to time. Most of the exchanges now a days are mobile friendly. Use your phone to keep yourself updated. Keep certain hours for trading and the rest to enjoy or do casual stuffs. You don't have to be trading 24 hours to become a full time trader.
You probably would be (or already are) saying the same thing when you go to your office for working.
It might get monotonous, but if you want to make profit, then yeah you will have to get used to it.
Undoubtedly, a mobile phone provides very great opportunities for a trader who can leave the computer for personal reasons.  But it seems to me, for an inexperienced trader using a mobile device outside the house, it is very bad to concentrate for fruitful work.  In any case, I learn to trade and visit my trading resources only at home, when nothing bothers or distracts me.  Although you can really use not only a computer but also a smartphone and it is very convenient.
354  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you need to become a successful trader? on: January 31, 2020, 08:07:40 PM
To all of this I will add being realistic about what you can achieve with your trading activities, many people want to earn 10x or more in less than a year and while we have heard stories of people that did exactly that not everyone can earn so much money out of their investments, you need to set up for yourself a set of realistic goals and until you do that your success will never come.

A more realistic goal for this market will be to make between 15% to 25% per year, which is really high especially if you are trading with an important amount of capital.
In any case, the ambitions of each trader should not diverge from the real possibilities, because otherwise, there can be no talk of any success.  The fact is that the most important rule for a trader, especially for a beginner, is to always set real goals and adhere to a specific plan before starting a trade.  In this case, not one iota Do not depart from the planned, because it already increases the risk of losing cryptocurrency funds.  In addition, each cryptocurrency user always wanted to make a lot of money, especially after various forecasts or stories about the possibilities of becoming a millionaire, but in this situation you never need to be greedy.
355  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Tips for Traders here on: January 31, 2020, 07:44:06 PM
In fact, these tips have been read a lot and it seems to have no effect on newbies. so I have suggested that newbies should practice more on demo accounts. Please write in the journal, why did you order? and after losing a lot of commands, you can go back and find the reasons why you failed. deepen it and make better judgments in the future. I personally find this practice very effective, both giving us experience and helping us learn the lesson faster.
This can definitely have a good effect on newbies since they will be learning first hand about how the exchange in which they want to trade is going to work and they are not going to make mistakes when faced with the same situation when they are actually trading with real money.

Keeping records is a great idea as well as you will understand why you did what you did back then and you will correct your mistakes, the only bad thing about demo accounts is that you will never feel the anguish of having a losing trade and until you know that and how you react to it you are never going to know if you are going to be a good trader.
Indeed, you are right about the Demo accounts, but nevertheless, I want to say that it is precisely during the period when the beginner is trying to understand the first basics of cryptocurrency trading that the Demo account will come in handy, and in the future it will be nice to practice with a small capital in real trading.  I am also just starting to learn, and for me the feeling of reality is very important, because very often I am constrained by the fear of losing my money.
356  Economy / Speculation / Re: Monday Is the Best Day to Buy Bitcoin? on: January 27, 2020, 05:27:45 PM
Nice charts, thanks for sharing. I currently DCA on Tuesdays, mainly to avoid Sunday/Monday end/start of week volatility, but maybe I should be dca-ing on Mondays instead. If anything, looks like Tuesday would be the worst day, if on average Wednesday is the selling day of the week. I'd be interested to see if there is more recent data collated from the past few years, like 2015/2016, as opposed to all data since 2013. Either way, it looks like Mondays is either popular as it's after the weekly close (confirms bullish/bearish bias), or because it's the day that most people dollar cost average. Hard to tell.
The fact is that this information is really very interesting, but in my opinion it should be of an informational nature only, so that cryptocurrency users take this information into account, and not as a rule for further actions.
357  Economy / Speculation / Re: Any further forecast? on: January 27, 2020, 05:12:13 PM
Many cryptocurrency users express their opinion on a stable bearish trend in the cryptocurrency market, but if we analyze the development of events for the whole 2019 with respect to the highest-rated cryptocurrencies, then we can say that Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as some popular altcoin, emerged from the bearish trend towards the former market.  But we have to admit the fact that almost the majority of all cryptocurrencies in the market have not shown good results even in the last two years, especially after the end of 2018, when the cryptocurrency market began to wake up.
358  Economy / Speculation / Re: Good sign for market on: January 27, 2020, 04:53:08 PM
It is very interesting to try to tell what it is going to happen in the market from now on, today we are seeing an important recovery and that is always something good but we still need to break away from the 9000 level that stopped bitcoin some days ago.

If we cannot do that each attempt at making it so that fails only weakens the position of all of those that believe this is the beginning of a new bull market, as such the next days are very important to try to tell the direction that bitcoin will take and whether or not a positive trend will emerge from this.
Perhaps in this situation, the problem in the cryptocurrency market can be solved only by reducing the supply of Bitcoin, because only a deficit of cryptocurrency can raise the price quite actively.  But only large Whales and speculators own such levers of control of the cryptocurrency market, but such a development of events is apparently not profitable for them.
359  Economy / Speculation / Re: What set of conditions can crash blockchain or bitcoin to zero USD? on: January 27, 2020, 04:35:15 PM
What set of conditions (technical or socio-economic) can crash blockchain or bitcoin to zero USD?

There are many conditions to crash any current market to zero, but in terms of cryptocurrency there are few:

1. War
One doesn't simply recover from a massive destruction, whether by financial, stock or cryptocurrency all will suffer. Rebuilding what has been lost can be a painstaking task. Cooperation and trust are needed very much for any restructure but after a massive war it can be a very serious matter.

2. Network Failure
If the main internet grid has been destroyed or any existing channels of internet has been replace by another technology it can disrupt the current market by shutting down P2P. No connection, No P2P.

3. Global Ban
The current cryptocurrency market possess no potential threat on any fiat currencies but certain countries do ban any transaction in junction with crypto. If there would be a global ban regarding crypto markets and penalize those who engage such endeavors then most likely it will render the market into a crash.
Undoubtedly, all those options that you proposed can affect the cryptocurrency market and bring down the price of cryptocurrency below the usual level.  But we must also take into account the fact that, for example, military operations can provoke the opposite effect, since fiat cryptocurrencies will no longer be valued and cryptocurrencies may take their place.  It is under this option that many cryptocurrency users expect developments in relation to users from Iran, given the complex conflict between Iran and the United States.  I think that the only and most important problem for cryptocurrency in the future may be weak stability in front of a quantum computer.  As far as I know, even this problem is being solved by many experts today.
360  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My dream for bitcoin on: January 26, 2020, 06:12:46 PM
Almost everyone here, including me, would love to see Bitcoin become a primary currency. But, if you look at it you would see that there is no chance for such a thing to happen. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency and due to that there is country or government that can own it. The world prefers a centralized currency like dollar, Euro, pounds, etc. Not being centralized automatically disqualifies it.

I’m guessing that countries will just create their own cryptocurrency, and I have heard of countries with such plans and I am sure all such cryptocurrencies are just another altcoins and nothing more. So, our dream of bitcoin will be hitting mainstream adoption may happen quicker than we are all dreaming.
If we talk about altcoin, then most of the coins are not of particular interest to cryptocurrency users in the future, since all these coins are only profitable for speculation and for making quick profits due to volatility.  Despite the fact that many countries can create their own national cryptocurrency, in this regard, Bitcoin will still be an international cryptocurrency, and it will fully justify this status after improving technical characteristics.
