3461  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is 'capped' at 20k maximum now, because of high Fees (till when?) on: January 04, 2019, 07:05:30 AM
I think the issues of high fees has been deal with sometimes ago and we are surpose to have low fees even if bitcoin went as high as $100,000. I think by now fees is no longer the problem because bitcoin was made to provide low fees.
Ye,s the problem of scalability have been resolved once we got segwit activated and right now the total number of pending bitcoin transactions to be picked by next block in memory pool is less than 1600 transactions and optimal fee per Kb is 1170 satoshi which is ~4 US cent as per current BTC value. Do we still need to consider that tx fees is stopping bitcoin's rising markets ?

How do we assume that the ATH of $20k was set by tx fees ? I understand OP like due to high fees, there were no new investors and due to lack of new investors bitcoin was struggling to get beyond $20k. But, since 2018 beginning I was not seeing high tx fees, still bitcoin was falling down by failing to attract new investors.

Tx fees was a reason why bitcoin's value was not rising. But, now we got many other problems like whales manipulations and due to those reasons now we are trading below $4k and honestly not thinking about $20k as of now, just $10k also will make me a happier bitcoin investor.
3462  Economy / Speculation / Re: A little hope and questions for 2019. on: January 03, 2019, 03:57:55 PM
I see market conditions becoming more stable and experiencing a slight increase at the end of December, and hopefully this will continue until 2019.
What do you think?
What is the next prediction about the market at the beginning of next year?
I do believe the assumption of nothing below $3200 and nothing higher $20k is actually quite valid. People assume just because we are close to $3200 that means we can go below that number but being close means nothing if you do not have the proper sell off. We were at $20k at one point and did it take nothing to make it $25k ? No, it took a lot to make that and we didn't manage to get there, why would it be any different for $3800 turning into $1200 or whatever people assume ?

Hence, I think it will be a year of $4k-$10k levels testing each other constantly and we staying somewhere in between for months without moving. That is how you know you are in a stable market and considering people are tired of doing chaotic things on bitcoin, stable is where we are headed for now.
3463  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: January 02, 2019, 04:46:06 PM
Manchester United will be facing tottenham next week, that will be one of the biggest games for them so far this season. They have fixed their ways and have been going 3 out of 3 recently and pogba+rashford has made insane leap since mourinho left. They are only 6 points behind arsenal and arsenal will be facing chelsea + city this month, which means there is a chance arsenal loses 6 points this month, not 100% will lose thing but has a potential.

Manchester united will play spurs and that's it, rest of them are burnley, brighton and this week newcastle so they are easy 9 points for this new united team. If united manages to grab 12 points and arsenal loses like expected, united could leap towards european cup level at the table. Chelsea will not play against anyone that could cause problems for them so I assume united won't be getting any closer to chelsea at this point of the season, maybe later on.
3464  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the use of credit cards a strong indicator of a nation's economy? on: January 01, 2019, 04:17:05 PM
Thankfully I live in a country where the bank has an amazing app and since one bank does all banks rival for the best app there is on the market in order to be not left behind. Thanks to these amazing apps it shows how much you spend and if you want to pay right away or would you prefer 3/6/9 months installments and all that.

Our banking system is really far ahead of many in the world for customers instead of just banks and that is great.

However, just because of these doesn't mean the economy is any good, in fact we are much better in this system exactly because our economy sucks, since our economy sucks banks can't really make too much money and they need to get as much market share as they can otherwise they are not really making too much money from this bad economy to begin with.
3465  Economy / Economics / Re: Should there be a tax on capital gains? on: December 31, 2018, 04:01:18 PM
The side that keeps saying there should be either flat or very minimum tax on capital gains basically argues that if a person is willing to invest money into the economy in order to improve the companies should be allowed to not pay as much tax as others. If I am making money by working than I should be taxed an income tax same as a company getting income tax as well but when I invest I should be allowed to pay less taxes so I can reinvest my earnings back to economy to keep it alive.

Moreover, one important misinformation is that people who buy stocks usually end up buying from other people and not from companies, IPO's are a different beast but when you are buying an apple stock for example you are not buying it from apple and helping them out, you are buying from another person. So, I think capital gains should be taxed according to the level of investment and higher the profits higher the tax should be.
3466  Economy / Speculation / Re: What Do You Expect From The Market in 2019? on: December 31, 2018, 02:21:54 PM
2019 seems like it will start off pretty decent or horrible, I mean this first 2 months (we can call it 1.5 even) will be either amazing for all of us or it will be horrible.

If all the sec, nasdaq, bakkt things happen than we will start the new year amazingly and hopefully the momentum will be on our side and we will go greatly, however if none of that happens and all we have been waiting for is nothing than the year might follow like that, people are already very upset about how 2018 went and if the price doesn't go up because those things didn't happen I am sure there will be a lot more people getting out cashing in their crypto and leaving the market which will make the volume even less.

So, we reeeeallly need this first 2 months to be amazing in order to keep the crypto fire going.
3467  Economy / Speculation / Re: 2019, Would The Market Getting Better? on: December 30, 2018, 02:34:25 PM
many expect that to happen. I also hope that it will happen. honestly, at the end of this year, I saw that price recovery had begun. if this continues, I think the high prices in 2019 will be truly achieved.
Always hope for the better things to happen Wink. I am also expecting lot of positive news around on bitcoin ecosystem will be happening in 2019. I believe those positive thing and development will be the reason why we are going to have a new ATH in 2019. Legalizing bitcoin similar to Japan by another country and bitcoin based ETF are the things will be leading to those miracles, probably. We never forget the contribution from new investors, when bitcoin will be having prices above $10k they will start joining us Tongue.

the growth will be good in 2019 the market will return and bitcoin will touch the moon in 2019.
I'm not sure that there will be your moon, I mean on what height it will be Grin, jokes apart, we are going to have another excellent year for bitcoins for sure. Bitcoin has already started its positive run hence we must grab as much as possible right away.
3468  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is undervalued, individuals building on it will lead to recovery on: December 30, 2018, 01:35:11 PM
The great thing about this person is talking about is that 2018 was a year of bear market but bull investments. A lot of huge companies put money together to invest into crypto business and those business are now bigger and better. We have seen the problem with bitcoin and crypto market last year, it went upto 20 thousand dollars but failed to sustain it there and fell down a lot, when it falls down a lot the price is unstoppable and can go as low as 3 thousand dollars as we can see.

So what do we have to do? Find a way to sustain high prices and in case of emergency have a landing spot higher than 10 thousand for example (numbers could change). That can be done with higher investments and sustainable business around the world for crypto. Right now, this is what we have and in case price goes above 20 thousand ever again, we are now better prepared for it.
3469  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I regret that i entered trading too late on: December 30, 2018, 09:00:45 AM
I have regret that i entered into trading too late if my head had known this trading field before only i could have started early only , and now i would be making profits by now , but now i am learning still because i started too late

Now i see many people start trading at very less age only if i see them i regret that why at that age i didn't start trading    
I don’t have such regrets and I am still young anyway. But I don’t really see why you should regret, there is still plenty time and there are many opportunities. Its best for you to focus much on learning this quickly and knowing how to trade perfectly before this year is over(which will in few days). Trust me, there is still plenty and use it wisely.

even if you entered market earlier but you have invested before the price crashes and you are trapped in that position still you are losing the value,but the volume still there untill you sold the coins or token,what i mean here that you can still profit now,by buying in this lower prices and wait for the hype then sell
Yup, those people are even very lucky they got in when the market is in bear. People who bought during the last bear and missed out on selling are regretting why they did, lol. Some of them are losing well over 50% of their investment. It’s best he takes the opportunity to buy at lower price while he waits for the price to get pumped.
3470  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reversal of Bear Market? on: December 29, 2018, 07:36:06 PM
it will be much better not to bother about what is happening exactly with the market right now. Because, assuming something of our own, we will be leading into miscalculations and finally into losses or waiting more. The better option must be just watching the market fingers crossed and if your budget allows buying more also recommended action for right now.
I believe already following what you have stated. Yes, I'm not bothering about short term trends, that is the reason, I'm always buying at dips and ignoring all the bouncing back of market movements. I believe this will be possible for any trader only when they are having long-term based plans rather than looking for active trading to book some small profit on daily basis. I never care about reversal of bear markets. If that will be happening, I am the first person to find it more exciting rather than worrying about missing out the buying opportunities.

reversal will be stronger. and reversals Is not about only 1 move many big moves causes reversal
Yes, changes in market trend may not happen instantly as it requires first sustaining market only after sustaining phase it will start reversing. This is the usual thing for the any market when the direction of market about to change.
3471  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: New to crypto trading - Is now the time to get in? on: December 29, 2018, 07:03:13 PM
Hi all.  When the hype was at its peak about a year ago, clearly this attracted a lot of people.  I waited and watched.  Would love to hear views on if this is a good time to start looking at BTC and alts.

Also, have seen a few accounts that offer services (VIP signals etc).  Presumably some of these are better than others.... if so, what have been your experiences?  Thanks.
I think this is by far the best time to get in except like 2+ years ago, right now prices has shown themselves to be capable of going really high but they also showed how volatile they could be by swinging all sides. This tells us there is a chance bitcoin could drop of course but it also shows if bitcoin prices reaches 20 thousand dollars in a month than nobody would be shocked, it wouldn't be so weird for bitcoin because it does that kind of stuff, of course we would be really happy and excited but we wouldn't be thinking "how did it happen" because it can happen and it did happened.

We are just waiting for it to happen again. Thats why right now is the best time to get into bitcoin and crypto in general since prices are low but that showed us what it can be as well.
3472  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The Fate of ICOs. on: December 29, 2018, 06:23:59 PM
As you all know that 90% of ICOs this year was a totally loss. most of all the tokens that hit the market are trading below price. some of catastrophic. some are trading below 90% to 95% of their list price. Majority of ICOs this days have has decided to run token sales on Exchanges. as the year comes to an End, Could there be another means of raising fund for tokens come 2019.?
It is just consequences of last years ICO hype, I mean we have invested over a billion dollars total into ICO's in 2017 and probably kept that up early 2018 as well, that made ICO space so big that the expectations grew bigger and bigger as well, people literally made 1000%+ of what they invested and anything like 50% increase was unacceptable and honestly if the prices went down even a bit people were calling the ICO's "scam" even tough market is horrible and there was nothing they could do about it.

So, right now the 2018 of horrible ICO and non funded new coins are all because we got into a hype last year and now considering new coins as toxic and not expecting anything new to grew while all these big coins are not growing. We want to first fix the things we have in our hands before we move to things that could improve the things we have.
3473  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Be prepared on: December 28, 2018, 01:11:14 PM
The bearish market is still rearing it's ugly head saying I am still here! I think it will take some time before we can say we are out of bear market. In the meantime, we should keep doing what we are good at, which I believe should lead to development if cryptocurrency sphere!
Even the bearish market is still persisting, we do not need to worry about that for preparing ourselves for finding a big opportunities after this bearish markets. If you are afraid to start investing right now then you can gather as much as capital you are able to. When you will be having enough amount of capital then you can diversify your portfolio once the market turns positive. This is my plan of preparing myself.

If the cryptocurrency has a future, and I believe in it, even if the prices just return to their highest values in January 2018 - it will be cool!
All Cryptocurrency are definitely having bright future but how we will make use of them in the biggest question here. I'm not seeing many people are buying right now at comparatively cheaper price levels but they are all simply waiting with previous stash alone. I guess that must be a wrong approach because we must make use of the current lower markets so that when crypto market will be bouncing back to new ATH, we also will find ourselves rich.
3474  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Value investment tool for altcoin on: December 28, 2018, 12:05:56 PM
a probable  solution for OP must be going for any call generating houses. I have tested few of them in telegram and physically also but none of them are as per my expectation. It is always good to go by our own research and analysis. Because, no one will be caring for our capital as much as we will do. So it is always risky to go for buying recommendations from any third party.
Yes, we only will be taking care of our capital more consciously and others will just sell recommendation for earning money for them. But OP is asking about any tools for finding good investment opportunities. I'm sure no such tool will be available but we can make use of any technical analysis tool for trading.

It means we need to  find the any good investment opportunity among altcoins and then we can go for technical analysis using those tools then we can trade them effectively for profit making.

I'm seeing many people are not at all using their brain for filtering altcoins to find out the right altcoins. There could be multiple reasons why they are not doing on their own but finding a potential coin must be derived through our own research and analysis otherwise we cannot blame anyone else for losing our capital later on due to investing into inappropriate coins. We must spend our time to protect our capital, depending on others for maximizing our capital will not fetch the expected results.
3475  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it good to recruit other person to join Blockchain technology? on: December 27, 2018, 02:09:49 PM
I think majority of people here are very selfish ,. Believe it or not. They are hiding and choose not to tell to the other person especially to their neighbors what is cryptocurrency all about.
They don't want to spread the mechanism of it. And that is very wrong for me.
We must encourage people who have no idea to the cryptos. Teach them how to use and explain what is the benefits of it.
This is also for the good of our industry .
Remember the status of cryptocurrencies as of now is endangered and the value of bitcoins is gradually dropping .
So, the good thing to do is to spread out the operation of Blockchain technology.
Nobody is being selfish here, if they don’t want to tell anybody, then its none of you business. And for your information you shouldn’t go around telling people about your source of income, cause if you do that, one day you might likely get yourself in trouble.

If you find out about something, stay low-key and enjoy it while it works for you. Another thing you got to know is that if cryptocurrency works for you, it might not work for another person. You might have found out about it when things were good and during a Bull run and you invest and make profit. If you decide to introduce to another person, they might invest and lose and then start to blame you for misleading them.
3476  Economy / Economics / Re: Facebook Is Developing a Cryptocurrency for WhatsApp Transfers, Sources Say on: December 27, 2018, 01:06:40 PM
I don’t believe this news, it’s likely to be a fake news. Why I’m saying this is because most of these Bitcoin enthusiasts will say just anything in the name of getting out a good news out there and encouraging others to keep on with their Hodl, but to me that’s making no sense.

Facebook will never create cryptocurrency. And even if they do, why will it be on WhatsApp? WhatsApp is an app made for the sole purpose of chatting with your loved ones. Do you ever wonder why Facebook don’t even display ads on WhatsApp? That’s because they want people to feel comfortable making use of the app.
3477  Economy / Economics / Re: Will BTC defeated in 2019? on: December 27, 2018, 12:32:57 PM
Where did you come up with the idea that another cryptocurrency will beat BTC? No cryptocurrency will be able to do that. Bitcoin is the man cryptocurrency we know, others are nothing, they are just altcoins. Bitcoin is the first and has been there for long more than every other cryptocurrency. If you check coinmarketcap you will see that no coin is able to do as you said. BTC still has the biggest market cap  and no coin has market cap that is close to BTC mkt cap.

defeated? This is very possible, but I don't think they will eliminate bitcoin. This approach will only make Bitcoin more famous in the world and contribute to the long-term cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin is not afraid of regulation.
Lol, how is that possible please? As the number one cryptocurrency on the coin list, out of the $127 billion market cap, Bitcoin occupies the largest which is $66 billion. XRP has $14 billion, while ETH is $13 billion. Not even the second and third biggest coins in the market are close to achieving that, not to talk of other coins that will always end up becoming shit coins later on. So how do you prove what you just said?
3478  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Trading, campaigns, gambling or mining? on: December 26, 2018, 11:24:59 AM
Which one would you prefer or best to earn? As far as i have come across, crypto is the best platform to have good earnings. We have many who have a good experience on it and still into it without a regular job. Many have left their main job after experiencing double income from crypto. Many have become millionaire and have changed their lifestyles. Which one would be the best to have good crypto earnings?
I have heard a lot of people tell stories of how they were able to make a lot of money by gambling with cryptocurrency, but that never worked for me. I have tried gambling back in 2015 when I started, so many times and it never work out for me. So it just don’t work for everyone. I will recommend trading, as long as you have done the necessary training and got the skills you will be able to do it and earn from it.

After gambling I have tried trading but that also not getting me expected results in short term. But, when I am converting my day trading into positional long term based trading, I'm finding myself profitable. I have tried different types of markets but only with cryptocurrencies and long term based trading I am finding myself successful.

Mining also produced the same results what I got with gambling. I have bought few graphics cards in 2014 but I did not cover those graphics card costs also. Due to the higher electricity cost in my country I stopped mining after few months. But, campaigning is really a great way of earning. But, Now a days we are not getting regular opportunities. If we get regularly then  that will be a great way of earning always.
3479  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin eventually disappear... on: December 26, 2018, 10:52:54 AM
I don’t know if what I’m about to say is right or wrong, but I do think that if a certain number of Bitcoins happens to get missing, then it will lead to an increase in the price of Bitcoin. Why I’m saying this is because there will be lesser supply of Bitcoin, and since the lesser the supply means bigger price, there should probably be an increase in price, and then we will all be buying in satoshis.

In general, yes. Over time, the number of bitcoins will steadily fall due to the loss of access to them for various reasons. Already, about seven million bitcoins have been lost. However, at the same time, I think that technologically, ways will be found to restore them. Otherwise, indeed, Bitcoin is rare. Given that over time the number of different types of cryptocurrency will increase, it will not be a big problem.
There are total of 17 million Bitcoins mined, and based on the research I have made, close to 4 million Bitcoins are likely to be missing and not 7 million like you have said. So that means we currently have about 13 million Bitcoins or so trading in the market. The number of Bitcoins to be mined are remaining about 4 million.
3480  Economy / Economics / Re: Let's suppose that Bitcoin became universal (used everywhere you go) on: December 26, 2018, 10:14:48 AM
How your country gonna survive if you only use Bitcoin in a daily basis? I mean a country cannot survive if individuals doesn't pay taxes,well with Bitcoin you don't pay any tax right?
How this gonna be possible? Please shed for me some light on this.
No country is going to adopt cryptocurrency as their currency unless they are just trying to be stupid, well that’s never going to work. The only thing they might do is try to make use of the blockchain to build their currency, something that will be more stable, but that’s doesn’t change anything except the fastness in making transactions and maybe reducing the cost (but I know government, the cost will be high) but you will still pay tax and other things. So, nothing really changes.

I think in this case the government would start accepting Bitcoin taxes. Although the idea of abolishing taxes I like more because its spend not on purpose.
That will be possible but it will take more time. In the case of bitcoin being accepted by government when it will become universally being used by people, I believe bitcoin might be trading in billions by considering how many people will be are adopting it and how much demand it will be having by that time.
