3901  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So this is what 21 million bitcoins look like. on: February 03, 2020, 12:03:25 PM
It’s really cool, though it’s not a real currency but a paper. But, Bitcoin is a digital currency and there is nothing to do with paper the way I see it. If you check the system and how it’s meant to be you will see that there is really no need for the paper form.

The world is evolving and technology is taking over so we shouldn’t really be talking about papers. Technology is what I’m into, and I mainly make use of online payment systems and even for purchase. Being online means that you can use Bitcoin to make quick transactions any place in the world.

They really didn't prepare for Rashford to be injured this long? I mean he is one of the best players when it comes to being a good forward for scoring however every team (specially one that is as huge as United) should be able to have some bench that can make up a bit of the difference and not be this much of a problem.

Martial is good and all but he is definitely not enough, don't get me wrong this is premier league and this is Manchester united so not being good enough is understandable, that is still better than hundreds of thousands of football players in the whole world, yet just not enough there. Liverpool however still manages to score 4 goals with basically no striker at all, Firminho is not a striker in my book and they normally have Salah and mane for wings, Henderson and chamberlain plays amazing, I mean these guys basically play without a scorer yet they are all the scorers because of it at the same time.

Somehow managing to cover your investments with diluting is never in the minds of people. They always think that if they put their money into multiple crypto currencies that is somehow diluting but the reality is you are still putting %100 of your money into crypto and that is not acceptable, put your money into 5 different things that could be saved, if you do not have the money to divide that much, that kinda means you shouldn't do it to crypto neither.

If you have stocks, forex, gold (or any commodity), crypto and savings account that means you are divested enough into things that if crypto goes down, you will still be fine, if it goes up then you will make less profit but that kinda means you can make profit from other stuff at the same time as well.
3904  Economy / Marketplace / Re: List of stuff you can use bitcoin for. on: February 01, 2020, 06:13:10 PM
You should check out our website, https://www.spending-bitcoin.com. We have currently listed 845 online stores accepting Bitcoin.
I can see 1049 sites listed there accepting bitcoin as a mean of payment but I still doubt, how many of those are really working? Have you personally tried each of them? If you have blindly posted them without trying or at least going through the feedback than I guess you are not doing a positive contribution over here as a lot of newbies who would blindly trust your platform and directly shop on any of those sites might have a chance of losing funds.

You can even try to open a new section on your platform where users can post reviews about each of the platform they used so that even if any platform tends to scam them, they might aware next users who were about to make purchases on those platforms.
3905  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin Cost $ 25,000 by 2021? on: February 01, 2020, 05:14:28 PM
Why are we just speculating about the price of bitcoins instead of enjoy what bitcoin really is?
Like I really do not care what price of bitcoin is. I just use it to send money with less fee nothing else its fast and I can get paid fast. simple.


Well, speculating the price is enjoyable too. Watching the market go up and down is enjoyable too. Depends on which area caught your interest, basically speculations is for traders in general, and I can see why you don't perceive speculation as a serious matter because you're just using Bitcoin as a medium to pay and be paid for something, regardless of It's current price, and I believe Bitcoin is more than that.
Many people have their hobby to keep on speculating the prices for bitcoins. Bitcoin price is much volatile which makes a quick pump as well as a quick dump and the ones who are continuously speculating the markets would be easily able to predict these dumps and pumps.

Also, most of the day traders make multiple buy and sell orders daily which only makes it possible due to speculating the graphs most of the time. I am among the people who love speculating the graph. This seems most interesting to me as not only I speculate the graphs but also watch my money growing which feels to me like I'm on top of the world.
3906  Economy / Speculation / Re: I see a dump approaching, do you? on: February 01, 2020, 03:39:21 PM
We must stay above the $9200 price to remain bullish since it is the support right now for the short term.

TBH, I'm also expecting for a dump in the next few days but it will not just be a simple dump. It will be a healthy correction and since the halving is approaching, investors think that it will rise in the next few weeks and they will be FOMO'ed causing the price to rise.

Whatever happens to Bitcoin in the next few months, I'm still ready for it. It goes down, I will hold. It goes up, I will holdGrin Grin
But this statement might not be same for me. I would short if the price goes down and would long if the price goes up so basically there are profits waiting for me on both the directions so honestly speaking, I might not actually care even if there is a dump in the markets. The price have already been above $9500 for some while which was once a resistance level and crossing that resistance makes it more possible for bitcoins to reach another resistance which is $9800.

Yes, a small dump might show up before the journey to $9800 and it might be the point where most of the whales can accumulate for short or midterm profits.
3907  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The real education are not taught at school!! on: February 01, 2020, 01:37:58 PM
School just enhances the knowledge of the individuals but it does not teach anything new. The syllabus are common for schools and also the education system does not allow the students to learn anything new. Does it not need to be changed?

Youngsters are the youth of the country and the future of any nation depends in the hands of those youngsters who you mentioned are getting demotivated and uploading their nudes onto the dating websites. Teenagers are mostly much frustrated with the whole education system and it only boosts the anxiety among those students. There are people who never went to school but now own multiple schools.
3908  Economy / Speculation / Re: I'm trapped in trading on: February 01, 2020, 11:15:28 AM
Most likely where it is right now it will pullback, maybe to mid $8000 or so. However if it goes above $10K, then you should just buy it back at a loss because its a confirmed higher high on the weekly and we might be headed to the $13.8K and $20K areas respectivately, whether this is a halving move or not its pretty bullish.

However we need to engulf that entire Xi pump because we can still go back to the $6400 area and even retest the large right shoulder which is around $5500 or so. Everyone is too bullish right now which is never a good thing.

So you aren't exactly trapped because you can always exit, even at a loss. Better a smaller loss than a larger loss.
Current resistance might be something near $9600 and support might lay down between $8500 to $8700. Price is already been traded on a bullish sign which makes most of the people bullish right now. Market showing good growth would also break the resistance and would straightly pump towards the next target which would be above $10,000 and it might than bring the start to the bullish markets after years.

Last time we experienced a bull run was in the mid 2017 and this year we could expect even greater bull runs than we previously experienced by studying the market phenomenon and this is what makes most of the investors invest in bitcoins to participate into the bull runs. Even OP might be holding some stable coins in order to participate into the bull runs but entry point should be appropriate in order to minimize your loss and maximize profits.
3909  Economy / Gambling / Re: FORTUNEJACK.COM |Deposit 777 play with 1777 mBTC |Live Casino, Slots, Betting on: February 01, 2020, 08:29:55 AM
It doesn't matter if you require some sort of confirmation to withdraw, as long as people do double spending the withdrawing part is not important for them. To give an example if they deposit and play and win, they will let the double spending go to waste and pick the casino for the spending, which will result with them actually depositing and actually withdrawing like a regular gambler without it looking like a problem.

However, if they deposit with zero confirmation and play and lose they will just double spend on the other transaction and wouldn't have to worry about withdrawing. So if they win, let the deposit be, if they lose they won't, as simple as that. Withdrawing requiring confirmation of deposit is not an enough defense, it should be at least 1 confirmation to deposit and be credited.
3910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often do you gamble? on: February 01, 2020, 08:07:31 AM
I always gamble and it was almost daily because here in my local there is a lottery which is very easy to buy tickets and it is very cheap.
But when it comes the online gambling I rarely visit because sometimes I have an internet connection problem that sometimes it may cause clogging up. But I like participating in a newbie gambling platform especially if it has a faucet or giveaways.
I remember every time I bet in lottery since the jeepney Lane I'm riding is near there. I Allot some of my school allowance to pay hoping that one day I will win. But now that I'm working and how hard it is to earned money I stop gambling or betting and just focus on making investment than risking in gambling everyday.
Lottery tickets are not actually completely something which might be consider as gambling. A lot of house wives, school going youngsters, old aged ones, etc are the ones who continue buying lottery tickets with a desire to earn huge prices some day. But, there actually are thousands of people buying the same lottery ticket and hoping for their luck to show up.

But, only few selected ones afford to win the prices and rest are left with no profits but they lose the money they spent to buy those tickets. I always stay away from purchasing lottery tickets as what I think is that lottery is only meant for people who have strong luck within thousands of people.
3911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fish arcade on: February 01, 2020, 07:34:42 AM
I was wondering if anyone made a fish arcade game (king of treasure, ocean king,etc.)with bitcoin or alt coins yet?
It’s very popular in Hawaii for about 10+years
So far i havent seen for Bitcoin to be integrated to this kind of arcade game.Its also famous here on my country seeing those people around playing fish arcade and getting some tickets as prices
that can be exchange into a particular item.It would be nice if we do see this physically on our place but its still early to say about this stuff.
Well, there actually are thousands of similar games which will gift you with some prices if you win the game. But these games are meant for entertainment purpose and not for financial gain purposes. I personally spend my free time in playing a number of such games but not for any price money. I play those to entertain myself with no intentions to gain profits.

In the previous gambling markets, I went across such similar games but I can't find any of those platforms in the market now which means they ended up as zero which itself indicates us that these kind of child games are not needed atleast in gambling. You can play those to free your mind.
3912  Economy / Economics / Re: Countries with banks to buy and sell cryptocurrencies on: January 31, 2020, 06:06:46 PM
I'm benumbed to hear that banks in Germany have started allowing cryptocurrency trades within the bank. This would be a great step by cryptocurrencies towards a bright future but how could this actually circulate? Prices keeps on changing due to their high volatile nature and this would make it difficult for the banks to buy or sell at those volatile prices as banks are not this updated to the technologies.

Banks needs to customize their internal affairs in order to get more advanced and start circulating cryptocurrencies into their monetary system. I guess, some of the banks which are not centralized may have started this movement as the governments would never allow the centralized banks to perform such tasks unless until the country legalizes cryptocurrencies.
3913  Economy / Economics / Re: Countries testing digital assets in 2020 on: January 31, 2020, 04:48:06 PM
Here are these countries doing their best to make the world accept cryptocurrency, while others are out there discouraging people from making use of crypto. I hope that other later change their mind and allow the use of cryptocurrency.

Although I do know that even if they do decide to go into cryptocurrency they will create their own cryptocurrency and that means they wouldn’t promote Bitcoin. But I seriously hope that they do make bitcoin legal everywhere in the world, even if they create their own cryptocurrencies, so that people can be able to make use of Bitcoin if they want to.
3914  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about WAVES project? on: January 30, 2020, 05:59:13 PM
waves is an independent and open source Blockchain platform that allows its users to build applications , create and distribute new cryptocurrency. this platform is a very good platform and this platform is used a lot . There used to be a lot of use a few days ago, but now there is a slight decrease .The future of this platform is very good, but now we do not hear such a news of this flatform . But future are expected to improve a lot .
I haven't heard any development on waves project. The hype has gone down and indeed this is a good platform but needs improvement also to see by investors that it is worth to invest. Hopefully, we will glimpse good news to hear on waves since I have also this coin until now in my wallet.
This is actually a common tendency of each of the altcoins. Even we did not hear any news from the Etherum platform since a long time which made the investors have least faith in etherum but in the corner of our hearts, we all know that etherum is a potential coin.

The same situation goes on with waves. Waves is a potential platform and also I do think that the developers behind waves might surely perform some development which would again make the platform cherish and would give major benefits to the investors. This might not be an immediate development process and for sure it would take a lot of time so it is better to hold waves until we see any such great news about the platform rumoring in the markets.
3915  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Which is the most trusted wallet for store Altcoins? on: January 30, 2020, 05:08:53 PM
Most common problem for new users thay are alwyas looking to safe scure wallet i see some complain regarding that not easy to find out as well thy required.its is possible to safe all coin in one wallet with good security and secure please tell me and suggest me what is the best soloution for that i will appreciate you sugggestions this will help to encourge my knowledge and also benifits for new users thanks.
I would personally suggest you to create an account on any of the reputed exchange which you could even use as an wallet. You can store any of the coin on a single platform and also it would give you the ease to quickly trade with those coins if you see any good dip or pump.

It makes me reliable and I can also trade with my altcoins along with just holding them so I would store most of my altcoins onto exchanges like binance, etc. These exchanges too are secure and once you add 2FA, SMS verification, Email confirmation, Additional passwords, etc those might be more secure than the wallets. Only risk for you there would be in case the exchange is hacked and each user looses their funds over there but it is much rare scenario.
3916  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How to buy bitcoin with PayPal in 2020 [NEW] on: January 30, 2020, 02:54:24 PM
An excellent article, which I liked is a narration of detail plus explanation with pictures, it seems that you have made an effort to write the article.
Why did not explain the decentralized ways to buy? For example, you have this forum, buying through http://bitify.com/, or any central broker who offers the transfer service personally.
Second, there are several ways to buy indirectly, "they vary by country." For example buying and selling gift cards, and so on.
Why I think OP did not mention the decentralized ways to buy is because he mentioned in the subject itself about buying bitcoin with PayPal. PayPal is a fully centralized wallet linked to our bank accounts directly so any purchase made from PayPal might reflect the transactions in our bank statements which might create an problem for taxation and audit of our bank accounts.

Most of the countries have not yet authorized bitcoins and transacting with bitcoins is yet treated as illegal in few countries so why should we take a risk by buying bitcoins with PayPal(bank accounts indirectly). Most of the time, I have tried to avoid doing trades with centralized authorities like PayPal.
3917  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: RVN good to invest ? on: January 29, 2020, 04:43:39 PM
RVN seems a good investment so far. I can also see that it is ranked 41 in the coinmarketcap which might be a good sign of investment. Accumulating at 300 satoshi would be good for RVN as it might show some immense growth in the coming markets. We already have experienced huge pump in terms of RVN and the same could be expected soon. These kind of altcoins with lower value but higher volume might be something good to invest.

Volume for RVN is not that extreme but it is not that low as well. 24 hours volume of RVN is about 740 BTC which might not allow any whale to manipulate the price and hence it might serve as a stable source of income if we perform short term day trading with those market pairs.
3918  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Localbitcoins bans whole countries on: January 28, 2020, 02:11:22 PM
Customers residing or otherwise located in the following countries are required to have an enhanced due diligence process. The countries are defined by EU commission: Afghanistan, American Samoa, The Bahamas, Botswana, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guam, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Panama, Puerto Rico, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Syria, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, US Virgin Islands, Yemen. The process to activate the account will be introduced in the near future. If you’re not willing to wait for your account to be activated, you can withdraw your bitcoins by deleting your account.

They've frozen thousands of accounts. Twitter is in meltdown over it:

https://twitter.com/search?q=localbitcoins&src=typd

Panama is a country very well known to everyone, so I don't need to talk about it much

Iraq also has its problems known to all

But why the hell Botswana, Ghana, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Sri Lanka are on that list? Has anything happened in particular that I haven't heard in the news?

They are taking precautions to a higher level I guess. But the good thing is they are letting the users to withdraw their coins and not total lockdown without the chance to get their money out. Users can always find another option to trade their crypto, now that more and more exchanges are coming out. People should not really be agitated about this.
None of the traders might be shocked reading this news from the respective countries. The countries mentioned above have very little number of traders who do trade in mass volume so also I think that they might not be holding excess funds onto localbitcoins. localbitcoins is one of the reputed exchange since times and we have faith in it.

Also if it had any intentions to scam the users than why would they give time to the traders to withdraw their funds from the platform? They might be facing some verification issues for those above mentioned countries as localbitcoins have made KYC verification mandatory which needs to be verified by the authorities.
3919  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sigh... Do i need to hold and sell it later or now? Quite tricky situation. on: January 28, 2020, 08:41:25 AM
We were actually in the bearish markets until now and OP has bought coins in the bear market so hopefully they would give immense profits for OP. But if OP wants to sell some of his coins than it would be better for him to start trading with them and earn the amount he would need to fulfill his requirements. It would not be that difficult to earn profits from 1.2 BTC until feb 21st.

Bitcoin is having a volatile price and that keeps the price changing each hour which can be utilized for short term trading. Quick buy and sell would even give good profits from the initial capital. OP should think about trading with his coins because if I would have been on his place than I would have gone for trading.
3920  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So...Is Bitcoin the ultimate coin that does not need more development? on: January 28, 2020, 08:09:10 AM
Bitcoins were originated as an anonymous currency and we are not even aware about the main developer of bitcoins. Bitcoins have shown us immense growth from the date they were launched which has opened doors to profits for a lot of unemployed community. This serves them as a passive source of income.

Bitcoins might be having some disadvantages which might include their use in illegal firms, etc which would need to be changed in order to start accepting bitcoins on a larger scale globally, but excluding this I do not really need any more changes in the bitcoin networks. Bitcoins can be made more advanced with the newly emerging technologies but it might ruin the original caliber of bitcoins.
