Many users are worried about the development of bitcoin, the price continues to decline some time ago makes everyone must cut loss because they sell cheaply, I suggest to be patient waiting so we can get a better price and it can happen later this year .

Right. And at the current state, if you bought in at 19k you're halfway to at least breaking even. That is after a 3 month bloody market. Just try to look into positive aspects of it. If you haven't sold yet then good for you. Give it a little more time
3662  Economy / Speculation / Re: What causes Bitcoin to drop? on: May 06, 2018, 12:05:27 PM
Where do you expect the price to go after pumping for almost an year? Bitcoin was just going through a correction and no amount of positive or negative news could have prevented that. Market corrections are very necessary as they bring the price down to saner levels instead of over valuating something.
so many reasons are there which can cause the bitcoin price to drop, in fact when there are some bad news in bitcoin market then its price fell down but such decrease in bitcoin price is for temporary, and very soon bitcoin price can recover is position, i think that bitcoin price is still expected to increase too much.

Well whatever the reason is, because we won't be able to pinpoint everything, dropping prices will happen and it will happen a lot. Manipulation, fud, natural correction, all these can make the price drop.
3663  Economy / Speculation / Re: Don't lose your faith in BTC. on: May 06, 2018, 12:00:42 PM
I still believe in bitcoin, without losing my faith that bitcoin someday would strongly develop their price level that goes up to higher level as what people being predicted. So I decided to hold my bitcoin now until such time that bitcoin price stay at the top level of price.
i also have too much confident on bitcoin i am sure that bitcoin price has too much potential and its price price increase too much in near future, therefore we should hold our bitcoin and do not need to lose hear, i am sure that very soon we will see a very good increase in bitcoin price.

Well my confidence in btc isn't just about the price because there will be times when the price is the reason why people would like to.bail out. The future basically would be about blockchain and btc will be at rhe forefront of that revolution. So for the short term, the ups ans downs of the price is irrelevant. Btc's true value will show in the future
3664  Economy / Speculation / Re: I lost confidence in bitcoin on: May 06, 2018, 11:54:52 AM
I also had lost confidence with bitcoin some time ago so that makes most bitcoin I sell to fiat, but after the price looks stable at $ 9000 then this makes me re-optimistic with bitcoin.

Well that lack of confidence may cost you a life changing chance of really making big in the future. You can't be in and out if you feel like it. I think understanding crypto means that you have to have trust and crypto millionnaires have a lot of that.
3665  Economy / Speculation / Re: This Could be the Move You're Looking For on: May 06, 2018, 11:50:54 AM

What doesn't make sense to me are some people who become bullish when things are falling apart and heed caution when BTC starts gaining some monentum again.

So you don't know Warren Buffet famous quote then?

“Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful”

It's more on taking advantage of the situation. It's up to us if we're going to end up on the wrong side of that quote. If you've been in crypto for a long time, then you should be living that buffet saying by heart. Do the opposite of what most people do lol
3666  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoin price manipulators? on: May 06, 2018, 11:43:49 AM
In my observation in bitcoin price !!
I think the WHALES are the manipulators of shifting price of bitcoin and alt coins
Why?
Because whales are buying huge amount of coin, in this case there will be a sharp rise in prices and also because of this demand will increase and many investors will be able to invest, so  the outcome is,WHALES had a large profit on their money or capital, i think this is why the alternative currency increases.
and after they buy it they will sell their coins that will cause a sudden fall in its price of alt coins.


This isn't something new. Whales always had the ability to move markets in the crypto world. This will change with increase in liquidity of the markets. Altcoins are less liquid than the Bitcoin market and will always be susceptible to pump and dump schemes.

Well that's true but aside from whales we also have speculations to consider. Market moves through how people feel about it. It determines if much money will come in. Like fomo. If people suddenly becomes confident because of rising prices, fomo comes in which could raise the value higher. Same thing though with panic but with opposite effect
3667  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The consequences of gambling on: May 05, 2018, 04:29:13 PM
Gambling really does not bring real value to the society and the gambler itself. The first thing to gamble is to transfer money from one wallet to another. Gambling takes us time and destroys our health, losing our passion for labor. Gambling makes people greedy and vicious.
That is just one plain truth and whether we like it or not, even some of those who keep saying they are in for the fun, is just a way to keep oneself in check from becoming an addict. With the way gambling has turned some people into liabilities in the society; it has done more harm than good and has only enriched the pocket of those who own the casinos as they keep making money off people's greed and carelessness.


There are many consequences and serious impact of gambling. It includes emotional, physical and financial health of individuals who gamble and not only to them personally but to their families also. They lost control of themselves, the lost control on time and money and even ignore other important responsibilities in their families.
Destruction, destruction and destruction. This is the consequence of gambling, because when you lose everything, then what will be left with you. You will be ruined and your family as well just because of your gambling addiction. When something is bad and everybody hates that thing, what would be the consequences of it? No doubt the end is in debts.
No doubt that gambling has destructive ends and we can easily understand this thing from the life of gamblers who have left gambling due to empty bank balance. Also, when gambler loses all of his money and returns to his family, his family is not willing to accept him and they ask him to leave them and live his rest of life away from them so they don’t have to see his face again.

Well everyone makes a mistake and i don't think there are any family members who would turn down someone who've realized their errors and want to make things right again. Bring shunned by your family is one of the worst consequences anyone can get though it's not permanent as long as thr person would learn to really repent
3668  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 05, 2018, 03:52:24 PM
This only shows that the Utah Jazz has no match to the Houston Rockets. The Rockets will cruise their way to conference finals and they mosy likely face the Golden State Warriors which i think is the NBA Finals for me.  Grin
Don't say that Utah Jazz has no match for Houston Rockets. Well Rockets is a strong team but you know what's the standing for both teams and it means that Jazz has a stand and chance to win as they did proved it.

I'm not a Utah Jazz though.  Grin

Cruise their way to the conference finals? I don't know about that dude. The jazz is a pretty young team led by pretty much a rookie. And if they win game 4 and even the series, who knows what may happen. The longer this series goes, inexperience will be matched by the confidence of these young guys thinking that they can actually do it. And the rockets and harden have a not so pretty history of choking in the off season :p
3669  Other / Archival / Re: Is there is any chance to hit Bitcoin 11k ? on: May 05, 2018, 03:13:03 PM
Bitcoin is now on up trends . What you think , Bitcoin will hit 11k by next week end? I think so . At least Bitcoin  should cross 10.5K by next week.

wait for it cause next week we will be there at that price. Lots of news are rising and saying that bitcoin could hit 150,000$ before this year ends which is really impossible. Hope that person is from the future.

Nothing is impossible. It's the same as when people say btc will drop to below 1k. Negative or positive, we don't know what the future holds for btc though for me, i'm leaning more on the positive. We're halfway now towards our previous all time high so 11k isn't farfetches. The thing is we can't speculate when
3670  Economy / Economics / Re: Weak Hands lose money, strong hands makes profits in this game! on: May 05, 2018, 03:09:22 PM
This happens to use, being a newbie around December last year. So sold our tokens being a weak hand. If we sold it just a month after, we could be in a 140K USD profit. huhu. But anyway, things happen for a reason and major reason is to learn.

Yeah though you learn if you accept that its something to learn about. There will be people who will always find something to blame as to why they lost instead of taking it as a lesson. Take those people who whine when the price drops a d whine about how they missed an opportunity to buy low. Its funny reading all their negativities.
3671  Economy / Economics / Re: Low BTC price is good for Bitcoins at the moment. on: May 05, 2018, 03:06:47 PM
Low price of Bitcoins will attract new people to join the rally, now that a lot more people can afford to buy a ''Full Bitcoin''

I think low price of bitcoin can never encourage people especially those newbie because they don't have any idea on how are they going to deal with this situation. So I believe bitcoin awareness among them especially those people who were disoriented about bitcoin was really effective in encouraging them.

You are absolutely right mate, a lot of people who are grabbing the opportunity to buy full bitcoin when the price are low and there is a big opportunity to gain more profit if the price will pump up. Being high volatile of the bitcoin price is one of the characteristic of the bitcoin that you need to understand.

Well i agree that a low price pretty much isn't seen as an opportunity but as a reason to get out. I don't know but this applies to a lot of people. Though it almost certainly shakes off the weaklings which in the long run will strengthen the market.
3672  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's happening to Bitcoin? on: May 05, 2018, 02:46:46 PM
For me depending on my TA btc is expected to rise around 11k but it may have a correction around 7.5k before it will reach that price again. but of coure i may be wrong.

Oh throw away ta. That usually only makes things complicated. Btc movements are very hard to analyze so even determining what's currently happening can have different reasons per person. Currently something good is happening as we can see that we're halfway the all time high last december.
3673  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is the best safest way to keep bitcoins. on: May 05, 2018, 02:38:34 PM
On my own point of view the best safest way to keep bitcoin is in Coins.Ph.This is a well known wallet in my country which is the philippines that is safe and secured.Also it is easy to use and hassle free.Coins.Ph is highly recommended if you want your bitcoin to be secured.

I understand that's an online wallet and one thing is for sure, it's never safe when it's online. The servers of these wallets isn't impossible to get hacked. I still stand by what i know that if you want the safest, you have to spend for it. Get yourself a ledger.
3674  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin too complicated for ordinary folks? on: May 05, 2018, 02:33:04 PM
With mainstream media still taking an interest in Bitcoin, do you think we have lost perspective of what is important, and are there to much focus on price? or do you think we will find back to the possibility of bitcoin and blockchain?
For inspiration i included my article on the matter
https://cryptoms.online/2018/01/30/is-bitcoin-too-complicated-for-ordinary-folks/
I don't think it's too complicated for ordinary people. Before the people know what the Internet is and how to use it and now every one owns it. here is and here, too, most.

Well it probably would be if people wouldn't take the time to understand what bitcoin really presents. Even now i don't think it's complicated since all media show about bitcoin is its price, scams, how it can be an investment bubble or how it can make you rich. It really isn't hard to understand that but people also have to look beyond what media says about btc
3675  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think that other coins move faster? on: May 05, 2018, 02:18:21 PM
Do you think that Bitcoin has become too slow to compete with the relatively quick alt coins out there? Is it realty competitive to have a slow community rather than a centralised decision making in development?

In other words, does the community effect of decentralisation enough to counterbalance the difficult decision making processes?

if I have an opinion bitcoin slows its development but I see bitcoin still remain successful and have the highest price is bitcoin that my thinking and interest of bitcoin investors will make bitcoin will experience rapid development
Is it even a competition? Bitcoin's movement can go slow or fast same as any other alts. They just have they're own time. Like last december, bitcoin surged to all time highs prettt much everyday. It's bitcoin's time then. Other alts experience the same pace of rising one time or another.
3676  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what are the common challenges for bitcoin user? on: May 05, 2018, 02:13:28 PM
The commons colleges that bitcoin user is they get panic when the value goes down and sell for higher value. Someone hacked the wallet of user. User did not how to protect their wallet from steeling of someone.

Yeah when you say common, that means a lot of these happen most of the time. The volatility is a challenge for newbies not used to the sometimes extreme ups and downs of btc. It can move with even the smallest fud and inexperienced traders would be prone to panic. Most challenges actually dwindle down when people become more experienced
3677  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How foolish are people who invest in Bitcoin? on: May 05, 2018, 02:10:08 PM
How many idiots who decided to invest in bitcoin!!!!!!!

It is necessary not to watch as he grows from 15000 to 17000. This is a visual illusion.
And as it grows from 1.5 to 1.7.....

In recent days printed 180 million tether and still no big growth....
Lending on the stock exchange came to a billion dollars.
The credit rate on the day was a record and more than the 0.103%.

This means that the market has reached its peak. The price of cryptocurrency maximum.
This is the moment when you have to sell everything.

So began a process of growth needs the infusion of more money.... They're gone.

I think the joy of endless growth to an end this weekend.

Nothing in this world is eternal and permanent.....
And rising prices of bitcoin are not eternal.... all ends already.....
This justification was revealed by the prophetic. After several days of growth, bitcoin fell sharply up to 6,000 dollars. The consequences of this fall we feel to this day. Yes, you need to be able to stop in time. Indeed, this case shows that the best way to earn money in bitcoin is not its usual retention, but periodic sale at a temporary peak of value and then buying at a price drop. True, do this not with the whole amount, but in parts.

That may work for the both of you but i don't think your assumptions about keeping btc as foolish is accurate. Yeah it went down to 6k but anyone who has a sound analogy can expect a price drop that huge after surging to almost 20k in weeks. I don't know about you but the technology backing btc will continue and it will just continue to grow whether you accept it or not
3678  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Blockchain Survive Without Bitcoin on: May 05, 2018, 02:05:21 PM
Yes block chain can still survived with out bitcoin, it just that bitcoin has huge transactions in block chain compare to other tokens, because it is much more famous than to other tokens, but still it can survived even with out bitcoin.

I'm sure it will. Blockchain is not bitcoin. It's the techmology that drives btc and all other alts. Without blockchain though bitcoin and probably the whole cryptomarket won't go very far
3679  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I just lost my entire wallet of 13 BTC. on: May 04, 2018, 02:25:09 PM
That was really huge amount of bitcoin, I'm sorry for your lose.  From my view I think that it's impossible to get that bitcoin back. Next time be more careful and try to hold your bitcoin on Ledger wallet and don't share your btc seed.

If it makes you feel any better, I blew 20 BTC on a hand of Seals poker. Of course, that was years ago and the coins were worth $200 or so.  Smiley

I think that it's not the same to lose $4000 and $117 000.. btw. do you remember guy which pay 10,000 Bitcoins for pizza , how he feel now? Cheesy

Lol yeah if you feel bad about it, and you probably should be because that amount in btc by far is not a laughing matter, there are people who've lost way more in the past. I don't think there's a way to retrieve those so take it a life lesson. Just don't let that discourage you in getting into bitcoin since you can very well earn that again.
3680  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you mean when you say Bitcoin is number 1 on: May 04, 2018, 02:20:08 PM
We are entering an era of multiple digital currencies, and many of them will survive. Bitcoin is certain to be one of them, but it can't be number one for every factor. Where do you think Bitcoin will stay as number 1

  • Store of value
  • Services in addition to simple money transfer
  • Convenience
  • Security
  • Investment/speculation
  • Safe transfer speed
  • Privacy
  • Freedom from globalist control
  • Other



When I say bitcoin is number one I mean it's the father of all the crpto currency because we all know that the first crypto that had been discovered is bitcoin. Actually when you ask people about crypto the first thing comes to their mind is bitcoin.
Well, if we talk about security then there is no difference for all the coin in crypto world. I can say bitcoin is still number 1 because of its popularity and basically its value that is transparently the highest among all the coins in the market, besides bitcoin is the pioneer of all the coin in the history of crypto currency.

Exactly. Among the factors that were given, i think other alts like eth are more qualified to be number one. It's bitcoin's popularity as the frontrunner and the face of crypto that makes it number one in general to all of us.
