41  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if Bitcoin was Created by the CIA, FBI, US Military??? on: August 28, 2019, 04:44:39 PM
I don't think FBI or CIA has created bitcoin. Because it is already proved that no one has control over bitcoin transactions and it is anonymous and decentralized. Why should they create bitcoin? Why should they provide a system that allow people make peer to peer and anonymous transactions?
FBI or CIA has not created bitcoin. But I doubt they don't know the creator of bitcoin. They have likely have tried to find the creator of bitcoin and they might have found the creator. They might know some secrets that we are not aware of them. They might know Satoshi Nakamoto.

So, we have examples of stock market going down and bitcoin going up, we have examples of stock market going down and bitcoin going down as well. We can either say its counter-related, we can say its related or we can say two of those have nothing to do with each other at all.
There is no big stock market crash example to determine whether bitcoin market is correlated with stock market or not. The past big stock market crash happened in 2008 when bitcoin had not created yet. In the past years we have had only some small temporary decreases in stock market. As we know some small increases and decreases in price of bitcoin is inevitable and normal we cannot say they have been related to stock market.

I ask a question from those who talk about the pride and the fame Satoshi Nakamato would have if the identity is revealed.
I understand you. I know how popular Satoshi will be. I know all the medias will interview Satoshi.
Do you think it's a benefit? Is this fame worth the trouble of being forced to answer some secret questions?
I think now he can enjoy the life more. We are sure Satoshi is a rich person.
44  Economy / Economics / Re: Can a Stock Market Crash affect Bitcoin? on: August 26, 2019, 05:54:36 PM
First, I don't think bitcoin and stock market are correlated. If stock market crashes, it wouldn't cause bitcoin price fall. Assume that people are selling their stock. It won't cause cryptocurrencies holders lose their faith and sell their bitcoins. They are completely different markets. It is same as 2007-2009. Bitcoin market crashed. It didn't caused people to sell their gold. And now bitcoin is that gold. In the past stock market crash, many people chose gold as the alternative. If stock market crashes again, this time people will have another option too. That's bitcoin.
Generally, if a financial market crashes, people will invest ij other markets. As bitcoin and stock market are nit correlated, crash in stock market can cause bitcoin to thrive.
(I have considered the current market of bitcoin which I think many people are enthusiastic in investing in it. Whenever stock market crashes, bitcoin market should be considered based on that time.)

Being Satoshi gives the pride and fame of being the creator of the innovative technology which is gonna make a big change over the entire world. The change can be of the technology based, financial infrastructure or anything as the technology can be used anywhere unlike other technologies which has got limitations.
Don't you think he/she will get into trouble because of creating a decentralized currency which allow people to make transactions without permission of governments? If Satoshj appears, I expect him/her to be seen in the court.
In my opinion, the biggest benefit is selling bitcoins and remain anonymous.
46  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / What is the benefit of being Satoshi Nakamoto? on: August 26, 2019, 04:00:15 PM
Till now, I have read many news from different people claiming they are Satoshi Nakamato.
We all know all of them are lying. But, What is the benefit of being Satoshi Nakamato? If there was any benefit the real Satoshi Nakamato would have appeared by now.
I think even if Satoshi Nakamoto is found, he/she will have trouble with governments and there will be no benefit.
47  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: OpenNode requires KYC now! on: August 26, 2019, 03:38:20 PM
It should be appreciated at least they allow users that are not satisfy with KYC to withdraw their funds.
It reminds me of bittrex when they forced the users to pass KYC and disabled all the accounts immediately without any warning.
At least, this platform is allowing the users to withdraw their funds and it's up to users to apply new terms and conditions or not.
Any way, It's normal that centralized platforms ask users to pass KYC. They are forced by governments.
48  Economy / Economics / Re: Trade war Influences on cryptocurrency on: August 26, 2019, 01:16:12 PM
When there is political or economic turmoil, there is high probability that national currency of countries involved in the turmoil decrease in value. At this time, people rush to safe assets. This is what we have experienced with gold many times. Both Yuan and dollar holders try to protect the value of their money and then all people will follow them. Gold is now a safe asset and it can attract many people who want to protect the value of their money. Bitcoin can be also attractive for people. Bitcoin has shown some good signs in the past months and many investors will consider that. So, bitcoin price will rise.
49  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Betting : A big problem to crypto? on: August 25, 2019, 10:24:06 PM
I don't know why this could be a problem  Huh
I know some exchanges don't allow deposits from gambling websites, but I can't find a good reason to become a big problem as you said
There are a lot of countries where gambling is legal, and things are changing in technology, everyone can do what they want with their money, and this is not illegal nor antiethical
Gambling is legal in many countries. Also, there are many different legal platforms in these countries. But there are some differences between these platform and gambling websites that are using cryptocurrencies. One of the main differences is performing KYC. Authentication is mandatory in legal gambling websites. Another difference is legal websites are more safe. They cannot run away and scam people. Another difference is taxes legal websites pay to governments.
50  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What withdrawal fee do you consider as fair in gambling sites? on: August 25, 2019, 09:58:49 PM
Withdrawal fee in gambling websites and also exchanges should be the amount they pay for confirmation. They usually consider the fees many times the fee they pay. It's not fair.
They can also allow the users to choose how much they want to pay. But they should consider a minimum amount based on network condition.
51  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Short Story: Bitcoin Apocalypse on: August 25, 2019, 09:35:48 PM
Having centralized exchanges can be useful for recovery effort. The network is about to produce new blocks.
Centralized exchanges need a working network too. No difference you withdraw your coins from a centralized exchange or an hardware wallet or paper wallet. Your transaction must be confirmed.

2. Bitcoin doesn’t have to be completely decentralized.
Why do you think that?
I think bitcoin must be decentralized. Otherwise that's not bitcoin.
52  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Just A Well Thought Question on: August 24, 2019, 11:59:25 PM
Answering these questions needs deep research and study about altcoins and I confess I have not the knowledge. If the study is done by a trustworthy, knowledgeable and expert group of people, I expect the answer of all four answers to be a cryptocurrency other than bitcoin. But we will likely have four different answers for these four questions. Even if the answers are revealed and they are right and the community trust the healthy of study, I think bitcoin will remain number one based on market capitalization. I mean people won't sell their bitcoins for other coins even if it is proved that they are better than bitcoin in some aspects and Bitcoin will remain the most trusted cryptocurrency.
53  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Anonymity VS tracing transactions. on: August 23, 2019, 10:18:56 PM
Whenever bitcoin transactions anonymity is discussed, there are two groups of people. The first group think of privacy of users and the second group think of those bitcoins have been stolen or have been used for illegal transactions.
We cannot have both anonymity and possibility of returning stolen bitcoin to their real owners.
Which one do you choose if you have to choose only of them?
If you choose the second option, please answer the question below.
Now, what's the difference between bitcoin and fiat?
54  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: [Overview] Exchanges, IEOs and their ROIs on: August 23, 2019, 08:11:51 PM
Most of the IEOs you have listed have been profitable. Especially IEOs that have been conducted by top exchanges like Binance, Kucoin, OKEX and Huobi.
The condition of the market should be also considered. We see the ROI(ATH) is much higher than current ROI. Altcoins are falling and these could be much profitable if the market condition was better. We see IEOs can be much better than ICOs.
I think the problem is untrustworthy exchanges that list and conduct many IEOs. I mean Latoken, Exmarkets, Coineal, etc.
55  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Ethereum update on: August 23, 2019, 07:52:57 PM
I heard Ethereum will be updated to Ethereum 2 in early 2020.
I would appreciate you if you answer my questions.
1. Will there be a fork like we had for bitcoin cash? Or we will have to deposit our Ethereums to an address to get ETH2 in a new address? Or our Ethereum will be updated automatically?
2. What do you think about regulations? Is it possible that we will be forced to pass KYC to get ETH2?
56  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Burn Satoshis coins to end the threat of prices crashing - Paxful Founder on: August 21, 2019, 10:31:41 AM
How can the community burn Satoshi's bitcoins? They are Satoshi's own property. No one has access to Satoshi's bitcoin.
Shouldn't worry about Satoshi's bitcoin. Satoshi will never damage what he/she has created. I expect Satoshi has some bitcoins in some unknown addresses and he/she can sell them anonymously without any effect to the market.
57  Other / Meta / Re: Some tools I think they are needed in the forum on: August 19, 2019, 06:26:55 PM
1. Sorting threads by the date they have started
Already exists.

For example: Meta board

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;sort=last_post;desc
Sort from latest to earlier posting date

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;sort=last_post
Sort from earliest to latest posting date.

I didn't mean this.
Posts are easily sorted by the date of last post created on threads. I meant sorting the threads by the date the date they started( the date of OP)
58  Other / Meta / Some tools I think they are needed in the forum on: August 19, 2019, 06:08:23 PM
1. Sorting threads by the date they have started
2. Sorting threads by number of merits the OP has received.
3. Excluding some sections when "unread posts since last visit" are shown
4. Getting notified when some one quotes our replies.

59  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bakkt sets the official launch date, is it good for Bitcoin price? on: August 19, 2019, 05:34:13 PM
Any thing which can make people more interested in bitcoin, increases demand and it can affect the price positively. In the short term, I expect such a effect on price. Bakkt will surely cause some new investors to be attracted in bitcoin. But I am not sure about the long term. Because, I am nit certain about the future and treat of United States government with Bakkt. We don't know how they have been compromised.
60  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The binance venus on: August 19, 2019, 05:28:00 PM
Well, what do you expect from the biggest exchange in the world? as long as profit is involved, they can do almost everything.

About their stablecoin, I think They will able to do this because they do not have any restriction from the government. Unlike Libra, they need to do a lot of things such as legal from U.S law. While in Malta, they can do this very easily because Malta supports cryptocurrency fully. It is the best place to get your license compared to U.S absolutely.

Yes, creating a cryptocurrency is much easier in Malta. Rules are not strict as United States there. But I still expect  regulations will be applied as it is supposed to pegged to British Pound.
