OMG this market has even more common with criminal one than I expected

Market? It's not the market that killed him but his stupidity. He was trying to steal from his partners in crime and when caught took his time and played innocent until they tortured him to death.

He was greedy and stupid and people like that don't live long. It doesn't matter if this is in a financial market, cryptocurrency or any other job.

Telegram is not p2p
It's still better than whatsapp.

why?

you didn't provide any reasoning at all as to why

The most obvious reason would be ownership. If you trust facebook it shouldn't be a problem for you. It could even be a better choice than any other communicator but since Zucko is working with some 3 letter US agencies and leaking youur personal information here and there I'd be scared that if I say "bomb" somebody will break my door in the morning  Wink

What care do you have? I would appreciate knowing a brand and model of something that destroys piston rings so often. I have never had that failure happen in my life to me or anyone that I know. Maybe the cylinder is scratched or there's not enough lubrication Huh

If you have some emergency cash on the side I would use that to pay the bills. Cash is inflationary so it's losing value. You shouldn't keep a lot in fiat. Better to buy gold or fix your car.
I wrote about the model and everything two rows above your post, check out my #38 please, you will see it.

Oh, sorry, I read that big post where you quoted the question about the car brand but did not answer it. Missed the next one somehow.

About that car. Now I know why you're having trouble. You bought Astra J with ecotec engine. This engine has some design flaws and is one of the worst things you could get in that price range. That's why next gen Astra K no longer has ecotec. There's not many things worse than that. Maybe early VW tsi engines.

Opel is not a car, is a monument to losing your manhood Wink

Old opels like the calibra were ok. I'm sure some of the tuned ones were chick magnets in the 90s  Grin
3424  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-08-31] Bitcoin bank accounts now available to European citizens on: September 01, 2019, 09:08:49 PM
It's not a bitcoin bank. It's a normal fiat bank with an integrated bitcoin wallet. Looks pretty much like Revolut which allows you to set up a UK bank account online with an ability to withdraw in most EU ATMs and convert to cryptocurrencies and a number of fiat currencies. Now we have a competition from Germany. The more the merrier Smiley
3425  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hodler, you motherfucker. on: September 01, 2019, 08:58:32 PM
Yes, you are correct that hodling is not a good idea but trading is also not a good idea as the market being manipulated by whales can lead to losses as we don't when the market can go up or down but surely it is much better than hodling.

Hodling is a great idea if you know when to buy. OP said he or she bought in 2018 and is now in the red. I bought Bitcoin in 2018 and ETH in 2019 and both my investments became very profitable. It's another proof that you should never generalize. Those who gave the advice to buy and hodl did it to help OP not to prank him.
3426  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you need to become a successful trader? on: September 01, 2019, 08:36:15 PM
What i want to know is how can i become a successful trader and make money for the rest of my life. Should i learn technical analysis or harmonic patterns......
And which is the best market to trade for a beginner.

You want to trade using harmonic patterns without knowing the basics of TA? You're jumping on high waters with no warm up my friend. Grin

The best market is the one with high liquidity like binance. The higher the liquidity the less the exchange is prone to flash crashes.


3427  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-08-28] Nearly Half of the Funds Sent to Bitcoin Mixers Come From Exchanges on: September 01, 2019, 08:24:56 PM
This is interesting because with the amount of stolen and hacked coins going through mixers one could think that it will greatly outnumber normal users.

I'm not against mixers people should be able to hide what they're buying and mixers allow them to do it. We shouldn't measure the service by the negatives but positives and it makes mixers much needed. We shouldn't attack mixers just because they allow scammers to hide their coins. There was an option to taint coins and the majority of users did not want it so if we aren't blocking stolen coins there's not much that can be done to stop scammers from taking profit.

It's funny that they were holding and torturing him in a house to make him give them back the money they stole together and when he did it they took him to the hospital.
So it seems that it took a lot of beating and torturing to make him give it away. The scammer killed himself by taking the beating instead of giving away his wallet password.

Not only greedy but also stubborn.
3429  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-08-26] Telegram's 300 Million Users Could Soon Be Trading Bitcoin ... on: September 01, 2019, 08:07:30 PM
(it's p2p, like Bitcoin. Telegram is not p2p)
It's still better than whatsapp. People don't care about privacy and you can see it by the share number of facebook and whatsapp users. Decentralized exchanges have less than 10% of the market share of the centralized exchanges. Probably much less than 10.

I like telegram and use it a lot but if it allowed me to integrate a wallet I probably wouldn't do it because I don't need 5 wallets or more. I'm already using Electrum and Coinomi. Too many programs doing the same thing will only give you a headache.
3430  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Real Estate boost the Crypto World? on: September 01, 2019, 08:01:04 PM
This is happening because of the real estate boom but we could be at the peak of this wave. If real estate bubble pops it won't matter if the company is into crypto or not.
You can see that we are overbought on real estate because everybody is buying it. Even people who earn very little invest in real estate on credit or mortgage. They don't understand that their ROI will be in 30 years or more which makes real estate not such a great investment.

It's only good side is that it is safe because buildings don't disappear but what will you do if the return rate drops to 2%?
3431  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Stake vs Fixed bounty allocation on: September 01, 2019, 07:48:13 PM
I like coins that can be staked because it gives you more reason to hold and lowers the probability of the token being dumped right away. The probability of getting nothing is the same with a fixed reward and a stake because a fixed coin can get be valued so low that you won't earn anything by selling it. The difference is in time. Fixed gives you the value at once even if it's low and with stake you will have to wait and see but don't be mislead. Nothing now and nothing after a month are the same.
3432  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: you can be the richest man in the world if you travel to 2013 time machin on: September 01, 2019, 07:39:28 PM
There's so much more you could do if you went back to 2013. You wouldn't have to buy Bitcoin. You could win  the lottery or do some sports betting. You could even bet everything knowing who the next US president will be.

I'd spend my time wisely and make sure me and my family members don't make the mistakes they did in the following years. Making money on Bitcoin wouldn't be my priority.

3434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: August 31, 2019, 11:34:23 PM
My only income is gambling ( E-sports betting ) and living out with that

I'm 20 and living in Turkey.Minimum wage is around 360~~ in turkey so it's pretty easy for me when my income is USD(1$ = 6 TRY) but paying a lot of taxes(%26) because my yearly income more than 50k as TRY

So you guys are paying higher taxes when your yearly income is just 8 thousand dollars? In most European countries you need at least 2 times that to get into the higher tax bracket. The EU average is over 20 thousand dollars.

It's still a big achievement to earn 8 thousand a year from esports betting. You are doing great. If you had a job to add to your gambling income you'd be making some real money.
3435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What withdrawal fee do you consider as fair in gambling sites? on: August 31, 2019, 11:18:08 PM
The variable rate based on the current network fees is fair for both the client and the casino. I also like 2 options which are instant withdrawal higher fee and a lower fee delayed withdrawal. It's all fine as long as you can see they aren't trying to rip you off.

You can spot a site ripping you off if you go to https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ and see that the next block transaction costs is x and the site is asking for 10x or 5x.
3436  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: time to change BTC to ETH? on: August 31, 2019, 10:57:13 PM
I would rather hold an etheruem now because it has really gone down and waiting for popping up. Buying more should be a good business investment.

And I would rather hold Bitcoin. It's an obvious truth that if Bitcoin goes up ETH could but if Bitcoin goes down ETH will go down for sure and it will suffer a much greater hit.

 I'm always for holding Bitcoin than altcoins if you have to choose and don't want to hold both. I have ETH and BTC but wouldn't sell BTC for ETH.
3437  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Top 10 Billionaires Discussing Bitcoin on: August 31, 2019, 07:46:11 PM
Seems like none of these billionaires understand what the heck is Bitcoin if they think that blockchain is the technology behind Bitcoin, because that's just a lie. Blockchain is simply a part of Bitcoin's protocol, just like PoW, SHA256 or Merkle trees. No one is saying that they are excited for those technologies, and no one should be excited for blockchain, because there's no examples of someone successfully using blockchain on its own.

i'm at a loss for how jack ma intends to integrate "blockchain technology" into alibaba. for the last year he's been talking about using blockchains to improve on international supply chains, but he's been completely silent about how. it's starting to feel like a vaporware/hype thing, similar to how bank of america is always filing cryptocurrency-related patents. maybe it's more about generating hype around the company and seeming relevant re emerging technology/fintech than anything else.

For some time talking about blockchain was something people were doing to look smart because maybe 1% knows what it is and how it works but most heard the word and know of its existence. Years ago it was quantum physics and before that it was internet business and taking the business online when most people only had a modem and used it to send emails and download porn.

Blockchain is overhyped and its value compared to bitcoin is overestimated.
3438  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Founder of bitcoin??? on: August 31, 2019, 07:13:10 PM

True, everyone can say they're Satoshi Nakamoto and lost their hard drive that consists a lot of bitcoins. Even the personnel of this forum doesn't recognize him as Satoshi.
People are just making names on the crypto community to start their own platforms, I really doubt that.

Satoshi can reveal himself through this platform.

Not really. His forum account was disabled so he no longer has access. To reveal himself he would have to contact theymos and prove to him that he's the real owner. I just don't see him doing that. Ever.

If he ever decides to reveal his identity he will do it through his coins. moving genesis block bitcoins or signing a message would be the best proof. I wouldn't do it if I were him. He doesn't need this fame and I'm sure he was mining in secret and has enough money.
3439  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How high bitcoin cash price go? on: August 31, 2019, 06:59:23 PM
Maybe $5k to $10k range that would be the highest price that bitcoin cash would hit. We can't predict what would be the price cause nobody knows what could be the future price of BCH. We will just gonna have to wait the right time if bitcoin starts from halving, probably BCH price would increase dramatically.

I don't believe BCH will ever even reach its ATH of 2000 dollars again. This was a one time deal and a nice lucky strike for Roger because he was advertising BCH as a new better Bitcoin and selling bitcoin cash on bitcoin.com as bitcoin. Many people fell for it and there was uncertainty about bitcoin transaction fees that were going up. It all gave BCH an edge it's never going to have again.

Forget about 5000 dollars.
3440  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: is buying crypto with fiat a good idea? on: August 31, 2019, 06:41:14 PM
7% fee is too high don't pay that much!

If you really want to spend fiat to buy crypto and do it with no fees try to contact some traders directly and exchange in person. You will hand them money and they will send you coins to a given address. You will agree to exchange rates.

There's really no other way to buy crypto because you have to get it from somewhere and all exchanges have their fees because they wouldn't be able to keep the platform running without them.
