Bitcoin is a good investment, but I wouldn’t call it a safe haven because there are risks and you can lose your money at any time. Bitcoin is a volatile investment, though it has proven to be quite good on a long term, depending on when you invested. Those that got in at the lowest price usually make good returns after they have Hodl for very long time.

It takes proper analysis to predict when the price would be at the low and you get in and hold till it increases. If you’re looking for safe Investments you should be looking at gold, silver, lands. Land is a good asset, and I do invest in it and where I live they are worth really big when you sell them after a while. Was definitely worth the investment.

There are more people who die every year because of shark attacks, yet people are really afraid of something that killed only around 100-200 people. Now, WHO created a global emergency, people think something huge will happen, same WHO also made a global emergency for Ebola as well, remember that? No one in the uninfected countries had to do deal with that, only very few people died.

We are literally talking about less people dying from corona than the airplane Iran shot down and yet everyone acts like we about to turn into a zombie movie. Calm down and continue your life like nothing happened, believe me you will be fine, both you and your money is safe from corona and will be safe for a long long time, no matter how much "flu" get worse, we will find a cure for it don't worry.
3563  Economy / Economics / Re: $900K worth of counterfeit U.S. currency seized on: January 31, 2020, 05:54:55 PM
Seriously, everyone acts like $900k is a big amount of money but its insanely low considering how much cash is around the world, specially in dollar form. This is definitely on individual level and not something secret or big picture thing unless its just one party that got caught and 100 others went fine without getting caught.

I would probably just focus on finding the source of this, both the person who was receiving and the place that was making it, those are the real threats, hell even the person who asked for it is not as major threat as the place that made this because they now have the technology to print as many dollars as they want and if they just keep it away from USA and just use it in other nations for exchange, they could seriously get away with it.
3564  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are the most useful crypto trading bots? on: January 31, 2020, 04:08:19 PM
I have only used gunbot amongts all of these, haasbot was something we had in our hands at the time to disect and check how it works as well, never used shrimpy but I can say their blogs are the best out there Cheesy. For gunbot all I can say is that, it is both not as complex as some of the other bots out there, but it is also not as simple neither, it depends on customers needs and you can make it a simple ping pong setup that buys at x price and sells at Y price, or you can make it like "if bollinger band hits x and macd is at y and gain is at z, buy it" type of complex stuff as well.

However one thing is for sure that whenever markets were crashing, NO bot that I know made it out alive, as far as I know, all the ones we were competing was losing money, not only "not making profit" but actually losing money. So bots are awesome on bull runs, not so much on bear runs.

Usually when it comes to altcoins you could predict "why" something happened but not "when" something will happen, I know its not helpful that the price of a coin going up and you checking why means you are already late to it and you will have hard time figuring out what the next move would be depending on it so why would you care if you didn't profited.

However, reality is if you know the community of a coin that means you know a coin, if the community is excited about a deal with a company and increases the price, you can position yourself when you hear they are about to do another, if a coin gets a v2 development for proof of work, then you can position for v3 as well.

Check out what the community likes and dislikes and whenever you read news about them doing something similar in the future, buy some more and wait for it because more often than not community will react the same way once again.
3566  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: John McAfee called BITCOIN as a Shitcoin! on: January 31, 2020, 08:13:25 AM
So I guess he’s pissed because his prediction wasn’t accurate?  Huh Maybe if his prediction was accurate he would have been the happiest man in earth lol Grin.

Seriously, it’s quite annoying when you make such a prediction and at the end you’re disappointed that your prediction isn’t accurate. That’s why he has made up his mind that Bitcoin is a shit coin. That’s the problem with most of these so called influencers, they feel they can just say whatever they want to say, he feels like he can predict the future of Bitcoin and unfortunately for him it didn’t work. I wonder how much he might have stored in his wallet and waiting for when the price would reach $1 million dollars lmao, he wants to be multimillionaire overnight.
3567  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WHEN YOU ARE CONFUSED REFER TO BITCOIN on: January 30, 2020, 04:15:10 AM
It’s very difficult for any altcoin project to convince me.
I don’t put much interest in altcoins projects, although I have seen a lot of people talking about them.

From my own understanding, I would say that the reason some people like coins with small market cap is because they are easy to manipulate, so they are hoping that the price would be pumped at anytime so they can make easy profit and others think that investing in Bitcoin is already late, so why not invest in altcoins that are still starting up, that way they believe they would be lucky as the earlier Bitcoin investors who made millions of dollars after some years. But, altcoins are different, they keep on disappointing so it doesn’t make any sense.
3568  Economy / Gambling / Re: CoinDragon.com - Provably the best crypto gambling in the world! on: January 29, 2020, 04:25:39 PM
Another place with maaaybe wrong titled topic. I understand it is provably fair, and I understand it could be a good place, however saying "provably the best crypto gambling in the world" means that you can provide a proof of being the best crypto casino in the world and not only that is not something ANY casino can prove, it is also bad wording for marketing as well when you are on page two only and there are places who have been liked by thousands of people for years now.

However the website itself is cool, I liked it and I hope for a great future for it, not many place cares about design as much as development so to find a website that cares about design this much and build a beautiful looking website is really cool. I will give them some time and probably will try later myself as well.
3569  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Big news! Coincasso Exchange is now an official partner of PSG! on: January 29, 2020, 03:23:23 PM
Looking at them, it doesn't really look like an exchange that many people know about.

Just on this topic there are many people who never heard about it before and this is the first time they are hearing about it because they partnered with PSG. I would understand the regular world not hearing about an exchange and only know of PSG but even on bitcointalk if people know PSG better than coincasso exchange that kinda hurts their whole sponsorship a bit Cheesy.

In the end they have done something good and this increases the popularity of their exchange, here we are talking about them and many people visited their website as well probably, hell there is probably even more people registered here as well. I am sure they will be very happy about the results of their sponsorship.
3570  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can Ethereum reach the 1400$ mark this year? on: January 29, 2020, 05:11:39 AM
Market never is aggressive until they actually are, doesn't mean it will never be neither. When ethereum or any other coin goes up, it doesn't give you a signal beforehand and let you know a month ago, it happens suddenly and before you know whats going on the price suddenly reaches a new high. That is why price could still be 1400, if until December there won't be anything major going on and in December 2020 the price is still around 150-200 levels and you come up and ask me if the ethereum price could be 1400 that year I would still say yes, sure it will be less possibility of that happening and I get that but I would still say its "possible".

Now, that we still have 11 month of time left that means 1400 dollars is quite possible and I believe it will happen.
3571  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is wasting electricity and are harmful to the environment.. Yea right!!! on: January 29, 2020, 04:28:42 AM
OP is talking about justifying bitcoin mining process by comparing how traditional banking system is awfully destroying green environments but I feel bitcoin's mining process must need a revolution in terms of ecological friendly yet without compromising its security part. POS was a long discussing one to replace the current system but that is not going to happen in my understanding.

Then what are the possible solution against bitcoin mining's environmental issues?
Wasting electricity is not an aspect here but how much heat it will be producing. Because, individuals or separate organisation will bear the cost of electricity and may compensate that with mining rewards. When ASIC companies start following emission control like standards for heat producing then there are possibilities for new level of ASICs to be invented.

This must be an essential thing bitcoin enthusiastic or at least governments must work on regulating mining related things so that in long run we may not harm our beloved nature on our part.

Bitcoin mining industry may grow in million times from what we are having today in coming years hence producing heat due to bitcoin mining may turn as a ecological problem in some perspective unless otherwise mining equipment manufacturing companies will not work on their heat emitting levels.

I'm so sad since yesterday as I can't believe that my childhood hero from basketball Kobe is gone Sad...way too soon. I do hope that Lakers gonna win the title for him this year and also the number 24 on Lakers will be retired for good after this sad accident.

Did someone watched the Australian open from this morning ? Seems that Simona Halep is going to win this year , ain't she ? She looks amazing and her tennis is on another level so I would expect her to hit that final and win it.
Really she played like champion but Medvedev give me some serious shock as I done some big on him in two parlays both gone just because of him all others won now A Barty is going to face Kvitova this is going to be another interesting match.
Simona is great and who knows maybe she will win it all in the end or whatever but I am still in shock that Serena lost already, looking at the rest of the players in the cup right now, I know none of their names, maybe because I don't follow tennis so much but going into the Australian open there was few names I knew like Naomi Osaka but looking at what we have at the top now in rankings, WTA lists Simona above her now and Ashleigh is still at the top and might get to finish this off at the top.
3573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often do you gamble? on: January 28, 2020, 03:16:24 PM
Normally when I find something I would like to play and not because I force myself to play. I used to be a gambler and I was kinda of an addict but nowadays I do not feel like that anymore, I just don't get that feeling of "I have to" anymore and that resulted with less interest towards gambling yet I still know that its something fun to do as well.

So, instead of completely not playing, I just require a lot of entertainment and rush of adrenaline involved for me to play, which only happens if there is something new going on in a place that I normally gamble, any promotion, a bonus, a competition or anything like that, it makes me want to gamble a bit more to get all of that fun again like I used to get. Otherwise, its just a meaningless addiction.
3574  Economy / Speculation / Re: Corona Virus will Impact the price of Bitcoin ? on: January 28, 2020, 11:39:13 AM
You can "sort of" connect them together but at the same time its a really thin stretch if you want to. Sure maybe china is going through something major right now, sure maybe they will have hard time containing it, maybe then it will spread to other nations, that might also affect those nations economies and be a global epidemic which would result with all finances including bitcoin to be affected. Yet do we really think that it will get out of hand that much?

I mean don't we know that corona in itself doesn't have that much contamination all around the world already? China, even tho a horrible nation, will take this under hand right away and will fix all of the problems, all those messages on whatsapp and facebook that tries to spread fear is just old people making stuff up.
3575  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My dream for bitcoin on: January 28, 2020, 08:39:07 AM
Yep, sure that’s most bitcoiners dream, but to be brutally honest I don’t believe these things you have said here are really going to happen, so it doesn’t make any sense at all. The government are not going to allow Bitcoin without any regulation, how do you even expect that to happen?

So, you think the government would just let be doing whatever they want and use money however they want without the government checking what it is being used for and where it’s going to? Dude, that can’t ever happen. If it was possible to happen, sure I would like that, but it will only happen in your dreams.
3576  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Held a bitcoin seminar today on: January 28, 2020, 06:13:26 AM
Lol, you’re not in those images for privacy reasons but you posted others without blurring their faces? Anyway, you still did a good job by teaching them about cryptocurrency. It is not everyone that can do that, a lot of us here can’t do it. I hardly talk to people about cryptocurrency because I am fond of minding my business (and before you ask, I learnt about it myself; sadly no one was there in my places to conduct seminars some 5 years back).

There was someone that said he wants to teach people about Bitcoin for free of cost and he was going to rent about three rooms. I told him to do a similar thing as you have done, to just host a seminar and maybe rent a hall or if he can get a place for free, but he never turned back for personal reasons. It is my long term agenda to conduct seminars on cryptos for young generations but for various reasons, we are forced to delay; still in plans only.
3577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2019/20 on: January 27, 2020, 04:07:38 PM
Real Madrid better not drop the ball on this one, they have been following Barça for months now and they are finally one game above, sure Atlhetico is a great team and they can play very well too but at the same time if Madrid loses or even ties that could lead to Barça getting back on top eventually, so they have to take advantage of the momentum they have right now and make it count.

Not like Real Madrid is not capable of that neither, we are talking about Athletico like "they may do anything" but in reality lets face it Real is the real favorites here with potentially even destroying with the amount of talent they have, we are not talking about the biggest possibility, we are talking about the off-chance what could happen here. Real will probably get this like 2-0 or 3-0 if you ask me.
3578  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC Futures Manipulation on: January 27, 2020, 10:49:52 AM
I agree that if its illegal or not depends on the country you are in as well, I mean some countries don't care about bitcoin at all but they do care about billion dollars going out of their own pockets (money leaving nation) so in the end you might be in trouble. Everyone is forgetting how many bitcoins or billions required to change bitcoin enough to make profit.

Like you would need "red alert" level of money to do this, no nation in the whole world would allow you to play with one billion dollars, they will ask you where that money is or what are you doing with that money. The idea at the same level could apply to a low level altcoin for example, you can pump and dump an altcoin and nobody would mind, hell people have been doing that for years now and nothing happened, however for bitcoin that is impossible.
3579  Economy / Speculation / Re: What Will Be The Price of Bitcoin After Halving This Year In 2020? Will It I on: January 27, 2020, 05:33:25 AM
We have talked about this long and hard by now, everyone gave their opinions on what will happen and honestly the reality is that if people think bitcoin will go up, it will go up. Do not forget that the only thing that makes bitcoin go up is people buying it more than they sell it, if there is a lot of fiat going in to buy bitcoin but not same amount going out, that means price will go up, there is no sales, no debt, no profits, no constitutional ownership, this is not a stock of a company, if you buy bitcoin you increase the price.

So, if people think halving will cause the price to go up and buy it, they will directly cause it to go up anyway. If we are going to discuss affects of halving on miners, sure they will lose some profits but it doesn't need to be $15k to make up for it, even $10k is more than enough for then to make a good profit.
3580  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which Crypto Should I Invest In 2020 ? on: January 27, 2020, 04:44:59 AM
If you are really bullish on dapps, I would suggest checking out EOS as well, it is liked by Chinese people and even Chinese government as well plus it is a huge dapp opportunity as well, in 2019 they even had a trouble with clogging on their transactions for how much EOS was sent and received because of dapps as well, which in hindsight is not good and should scale bigger however at least shows some interest.

Tron is great on that issue as well but the owner is not really loved by many even tho coin is really respected by itself. Ethereum on the other hand is a whole another topic, you can like it because of dapps and its true that there are plenty of dapps around ethereum but they will also have a hard fork this year which could potentially increase the price a lot as well.
