3741  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to trade Bitcoin anonymously? on: October 28, 2017, 06:16:48 PM
Hello community,
I have earned some Bitcoin in the past by selling some services and products. Currently I keep all my coins on Electrum Wallet.
However I would love to trade them, but I want to keep my anonymity. Basically I want to have them on some trade exchangers just for sell/buy when price goes up and down.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Also Any website I can use to trade anonymously.

Thank you very much!!!
Use YoBit or any other exchange that is popular. Make sure that you aren't going against the rules of those exchanges

Don't use YoBit, that's possible one of the worst exchanges that is bordeline a scam with the amount of shitcoins that they allow to trade on, not even mentioning the fact that they shut down accounts for no reason and aren't regulated in the least.

If you want anonymotity, go to Paxful, Local Bitcoins, or use this site and exchange with somone for an untraceable method that couldn't be connected to you. Might be tough to find a good balance between anonymity and the fee that they're going to charge for this trade, but it's still better then using Coinbase and giving everything up (even though I personally am fine with using CB)
3742  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 1ST Step investing in bitcoin on: October 28, 2017, 02:47:02 PM
I'll lay out a couple of ways that you'd be able to invest in Bitcoin, all of this though does depend on your scenario of course such as where you live and the amount of privacy you're willing to give up so you should note that down. The first site that I'll touch on is Coinbase, a site where you're going to have to give them certain documents (Passport, License, etc) maybe even a Social Security card # and then they'll allow you to buy and sell on Coinbase and even using their trading platform of GDAX

This site is nice don't get me wrong, but not many people like Coinbase.

Then there's sites like Kraken, Gemini and so on. But all of these sites fall into the sameboat, as you're going to have to give up some privacy in order to pay the least in fees on their platform (and in general)

You could buy on Local Bitcoin, Paxful, and even on the exchange section on here but the problem with that is you're going to be paying a high amount in fees due to getting more privacy.
3743  Economy / Economics / Re: If the powerful governments wanted to, do you think they could stop Bitcoin? on: October 28, 2017, 03:34:06 AM
They couldn't kill it completely, but they can prevent mass adoption by simply outlawing it. Most people wouldn't risk getting fined or imprisoned just to use an alternative payment system, so Bitcoin community wouldn't be able to grow to any significant size. And the second problem is mining - right now it's relatively centralized and draws huge amounts of electricity - together it makes it easy to shut it down. Without mining Bitcoin's price can't freely grow, because mining protects the network from double-spending attacks, so when hashrate is low the network becomes less secure, meaning it's cheaper to attack it, so it can't sustain above certain amounts of value.

Well this is my thinking, I'm not saying Bitcoin would die completely and lose the dedicated user base that it has built so far. I just think that it would not be able to grow and stuck here, as what it is today, if governments decided that's what they wanted to happen. A lot of people on this forum don't understand, or try to understate the amount of power that the government really holds.


If every country really started cracking down, sure bitcoins would be put into a choke hold VUT that's not going to happen because so many cou tries fully support it. Even if bitcoins where a japan only currency, they would still hold huge value. Keep them no matter what happens in your county.

Ok this isn't true, no country supports Bitcoin.

See the thing I think you're missing here is that a fork and a code change, aren't things that actually go hand and hand when it comes to Bitcoin. As a fork is just people TRYING to change the code, this doesn't mean they're successful in  having the other blockchain actually be followed by people, nor have any community support.

Many forks have happened, but only a few of them have been of real significance and have really had an impact on Bitcoin. So, that's that.
3745  Economy / Economics / Re: New cool concept of open source science! on: October 27, 2017, 02:20:35 AM
While it's a cool idea, and I do like it. The problem in my eyes here, is that all this is going to amount to is an ICO and then that's it. The people you are running it (probably you) is just going to get a ton of investments, your token is going to turn into an investment/trading coins and that's going to be the end of it. That's the story with all of the ICO's these days, nothing and I mean NOTHING comes out of them.

How is yours going to be different?
3746  Economy / Economics / If the powerful governments wanted to, do you think they could stop Bitcoin? on: October 27, 2017, 01:30:27 AM
This is something which I've beleived for awhile, which is the prospect that if big governments and banks worked heavily together they'd be able to remove Bitcoin from the face of the earth. They wouldn't ban it, as that would be a tough thing to swallow for the American people as they wouldn't see a good reason to do that ( at least in my mind here) But they could just go ahead and regulate Bitcoin into oblivion, making it hard for Bitcoin businesses (buying and selling, trading, etc) to operate within their countries, or be subject to insane taxes, KYC AML and such.

Do you think Governments could kill Bitcoin?
3747  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Bots :: Security Question on: October 27, 2017, 12:57:24 AM
It depends on the configuration that it will make on your API, but honestly man, why are you using a trading bot? is it because you dont know how to trade or just because you are so lazy? Trading is not a difficult task, you only have to pay attention to the markets and do your own decisions over it.
Came on, it is easy, probably that bot costed you around $600 or maybe more, that is a such amount of money and if you dont have time and patience you are not going to recover it quickly.


I wouldn't think that the reason is that trading is hard or something along those lines, I'd think that this person has a normal job and wouldn't be able to dedicate their lives to trading so a bot, if created well and managed well by the person when they can, would be able to make some side money.

But the big thing with the bot is on the permissions that you give it if you're allowing it to withdraw that's a big fucking red flag as all it should be doing is TRADING. So check on that and then come back to us.

What bot are you using as well
3748  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it better to invest in bitcoin prior to "forks" or after "forks" ? on: October 27, 2017, 12:06:39 AM
Well for this sort of question it really matters in what fork we're going to talking here and the circumstances surrounding it, as the Bitcoin Cash fork (not the BS one that just occured) was a fork that actually had support from the miners and could've turned out to be something if the community stood in line and followed along. This is the part that scared people, as they didn't know if they were fully going to be able to takeover Bitcoin as they had the 51 percent, and the fork.

While Bitcoin did rise in price, anything could've happened if the fork would've went the other way which is the reason that I didn't hold any Bitcoin during this. Some people held it, and those people made a great deal of money.

Though this isn't the same when it comes to the Bitcoin Gold fork, as this is buggy, bullshit code, bs devs and so on and so forth. So this shouldn't be effecting the market in the least
3749  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is this the end of bitcoin and blockchain era? on: October 26, 2017, 11:44:23 PM
Sounds like shilling to me, this site is already down and the account that the person posted from is new. So I'm not going to think it's anything but shilling / flaming on the boards to try to gain some attention.

But back onto the point, Bitcoin can end -- but the Blockchain will live in as the technology is what Governments and Banks may and will probably end up using for certain things. As they're not going to reliquish their power to Bitcoin, but they will use the Blockchain as it won't hurt them (depending on the way they use it of course)

NO.

Hi, guys.
I want to be an SEO expert as it is one of the most important topics. Please suggest me, how can I become an expert on SEO.

You are not going to be able to use SEO to game Google search. This article should give you a start on how to create content that will rank well in Google.

Well it's not like he's asking to game the system, if you have quality content and do learn how to make the SEO stand out to see this sort of stuff then you're natrually going to be linked higher then people who aren't doing this. It's really rather simple when you think about it, even if I am oversimplifying it. Though if you are serious about wanting to learn about SEO, you're really going to have to take major time out of your life to do that.

Go here and read through the tons of material present - https://www.searchenginejournal.com/free-seo-resources/
3751  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can I trade my Bitcoin after confirmation of a fork? on: October 24, 2017, 12:57:17 AM
Well yes, in theory, this can be done but the thing that people are scared of is that you're coins are going to lose enough value after the fork to not even make it worthwhile to even own Bitcoin at the time as the Bitcoin Gold isn't going to offset the losses to the Bitcoin. I think this was more of an issue during Bitcoin Cash or at least an issue that people thought that they would have during the time of uncertainty back then.

But yes, you can, in theory, make some money off of it and even though I think it's going to be a negligible amount of Bitcoin Gold you can still do as you please. Goodluck!
3752  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Gold is Forking Off on: October 24, 2017, 12:18:02 AM
I really hope that this crashes and burns, and if it doesn't people will learn a valuable lesson when they do see the 'devs' (if you want to call them that) of this shitty premined shitcoin that is only getting attention by people because it was after the big Bitcoin Cash fork, which actually had support of some people on these boards and in this community.

Let it die my brothers, let it die and this all will end.
3753  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin transaction is still pending. on: October 23, 2017, 11:30:31 PM
Well it does really matter on the amount of the fee that you're putting for this TX and the amount that is being sent, plus some other info which is going to be a number of inputs and outputs for the transaction.

Could you by some chance copy and paste the TX here from the transaction you're talking about?
3754  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi went silent right after some members here promoted it to wikileaks on: October 23, 2017, 12:12:26 PM
Well it's pretty understandable that Satoshi would just go away after this, he is the creator of Bitcoin and wouldn't want to go ahead and get in some insane legal trouble due to his creation. Governments and banks are going to want to practically torture him to crack the Bitcoin code, which he probably can do.

So for the safety of himself, and his family, and the community which he built he went away.
3755  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why and Who ALLOW the Bitcoin Hardfork? on: October 23, 2017, 02:17:20 AM
No one can allow a hardfork, nor can anyone stop one. The only thing that sets some forks out from other ones, is that if the community (or a certain percentage of this community) supports the hardfork and the ideals behind it. The only thing we can think about when we say this is the Bitcoin Cash one, which did have some support from certain miners and other groups in the Bitcoin community.

I can't say the same thing for Bitcoin Gold, as it seems this is just getting news as it was after Bitcoin Cash which is still being traded in mass amounts to this day.

So, just don't get involved and this hardfork will die like others.
3756  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in the Browser: Google, Apple and More Adopting Crypto-Compatible API on: October 23, 2017, 12:21:22 AM
This is not a good idea as it won't be secure and there are better ways to transact. There are Bitcoin wallets and they are perfect for sending BTC cheaply and securely.

As per anything relating to where money is being moved, there will be security present, it may not be the same grade of security which is found in HD wallets and some of the web wallets but it will be sure as hell secure as people aren't going to be using this if it isn't secure.

Also, people are going to weigh the option of this being both convenient which is what a browser crypto compatible wallet would be and security. So these two would balance eachother out in the users mind.

It's a good idea, I just wait to see what it looks like.
3757  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Argentina will add 200 new Bitcoin atrons machines in October on: October 23, 2017, 12:00:25 AM
Biggest problem with ATM's is the high fees they charge.

Of course 200 ATM's is nice, but won't be much useful if people don't want to use Bitcoin. Expand the user base should be priority, I think.

The first thing we have to do this though, to expand the userbase, is to get people educated on Bitcoin and to get them using it. It isn't easy to do this in a developing nation, but it's something which can be achived through some work and money spent by us here.

And while I do like to see Bitcoin expanding, I do think they're going to get a bad reputation as the fees on these machines are insane and they're going to deter people that are interested in Bitcoin to even get involved, as they think they're going to be getting scammed by the price.

So, it may look like good news but it isn't.
3758  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: New sophisticated scam in cloud mining, be wary. on: October 22, 2017, 10:01:16 PM
Well if it's realted to cloud mining, would you even call it a sophisticated scam? People should know by now, and at this price, to steer clear of anything that seems too good to be true (Faucets and Cloud mining fit this perfectly) as they're either going to be wasting their money on something that they won't make a return on OR they're going to be wasting their time in the case of cloud mining.

Plus in this case, you're just NEVER going to hit .01 let alone .03 minimum that people need in order to get paid.

It's so simple that it's a scam that people still fall for it, you can't fix stupid I guess.
3759  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gold and Bitcoin Segwit2X Futures Markets on: October 22, 2017, 05:17:29 PM
To the best of my knowledge, I don't think something like this around as of yet. Even though Bitcoin Gold is going to be coming out soon, it doesn't have the same hype that Bitcoin Cash did when it came to having futures and stuff like that before the launch.

But quoting one redditor, "Bitcoin Gold has no future" https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/770avy/bitcoin_gold_futures/

This looks nice invention. How before nobody realised it?

What in gods fuck are you trying to say?
3760  Economy / Economics / Re: BlackRock Chief: Bitcoin is a Bubble on: October 22, 2017, 05:01:10 PM
I'm one of the thinkers that thinks that a correction is imminent, if you look at the price increases it's like a straight line UP. We haven't had much of a hard time cruising to the area of 6000, which is a land where people thought we could never go. Plus, it's not like more and more people are actually using Bitcoin anyway, it's that more and more people are TRADING Bitcoin in the hopes that they're going to get RICH fast.

Sadly they're going to see that a correction is coming, and who knows if it's going to be a large correction but it will come at some point. That's when Bitcoin will stabilize and stay at a price, and then and only then can Bitcoin be an accepted currency.
