He is in charge of $12 billion in assets so why doesn't he put his money where his mouth is and buy up all of the bitcoins he can get his hands on. Ask the Mt Gox team for an OTC trade so he can get the highest gains in 2019

Well for one he's not in charge of that fund and that money, even if he were then he still has to consider the interests of his investors, he needs to set aside his own opinions and ensure he takes smart decisions which are backed up by studies and the people around him. Any hedge fund going all in on just one asset will fail.

While I'm more bullish in crypto than anything else I'm not really sure that we'll see a great 2019 for the price of cryptocurrencies. I think we'll see breakthroughs in adoption but there won't be any strong bullish momentum, at least not in the first part of 2019. Compare that to the stock market which will go almost entirely off the world economy and it's easy to see a scenario in which the stock market outperforms crypto. Beyond that I think real estate will be one of the best performing assets of 2019.

Stock markets never react well to uncertainty, just like any markets. A government shut down and a president attacking the FED is always going to be a large contributing factor to any ongoing uncertainty.

What makes you think that the lira will perform so badly against the dollar? For the latter parts of 2018 the value of the lira has been increasing despite it falling at a rate of around 100% per year over recent years.

Google Searches For Bitcoin Soared
As CCN reported, Google searches for “bitcoin” recently topped online searches for President Donald Trump. That’s staggering when you consider that Trump is the center of most news coverage on any given day.

If you look at the Google trends data, the spike is rather disappointing: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=bitcoin&geo=US

The market crashed and the mainstream media wrote a bunch of stories about it, that's all. That generated a bit of interest for a couple weeks but the data since late November hasn't been notable.

I for one don't want us to return to 2017 highs because that will mean we're in the middle of another big bubble. As for BTC dying, people were probably more likely to write about it in 2017 just because there was a lot more being written about bitcoin then. If you could analyze the amount of articles/tweets etc and calculate the ratio that are negative or calling the end for bitcoin it would be far higher now.

BTC is stuck in a range between 3200 and 4500. With the strong bounce we saw around 3200 it will be either months until a new low or we'll just stick in this range for many months until a recovery begins. There is little reason for people to rush to buy at this point and plenty of reason for people to panic and sell.

1BTC is equal to 10347 dollars

Maybe to you it is. To most people 1 BTC is equal to whatever the current market price is. Even if the price should be higher that is not the price, that is value.

Satoshi disowned Bitcoin dot com here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88.msg806#msg806 He sounds a bit defensive with the post. as if to say "we didn't copy Bitcoin from the website"  


I have a feeling he didnt plan to be anonymous.
Anything is possible though.
Sometimes his writing looks like that of a well known person who still use this forum

Why use an alias in the first place if you do not plan to be anonymous? Some part of him must have always knew it would be a potential option. I find it a more interesting question to consider if he's anonymous for his own good or for the good of bitcoin?

People from the internet are already concerned of privacy long before BItcoin existed and Satoshi is just one. There are more of these people here in the forum today, some are just buying paypal accounts and upwork accounts so they can hide identities. If he really wants to reveal himself he can do it but I'm sure he prefer to stay private and unknown. Leave it that way.

Precisely, it was intended all along. I think at this stage, with years behind us of people trying to figure out Satoshi's true identity the only way it will be revealed is if he or she decides to do so. There's clearly no trail which will conclusively lead to a name. The only proof is a signed address.
50  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If most politicians know nothing about Bitcoin then how will they regulate it? on: December 27, 2018, 04:09:39 PM
There's a highly likely chance that they'll recruit experts from the crypto industry, people who created coins or run exchanges, these guys will submit info and recommendations on regulation. The same thing happens in a lot of complex industries.
51  Economy / Economics / Re: Are we headed for a recession? on: December 27, 2018, 04:08:32 PM
The stock market really doesn't affect the crypto market so much. Our market is decided by an organization and the stock market is made up of investors in the world.
That is the difference and we cannot compare the crypto and stock markets. We are definitely going to a recession because fiat money is always inflated every year.

If fiat money were inflated every year then crypto should be in permanent bullishness. QE doesn't make it so that bitcoin value is always increasing, at least not in the short term. The crypto market is also not decided by an organization so I'm not sure where you got that from.

53  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Altcoin Nosedive vs. Market Dominance? on: December 26, 2018, 12:55:07 PM
Hey guys!

Ever since ETH started going up against the USD over the past week, most of my altcoins have been nosediving.  

I've heard that sometimes this can happen because people want to exchange their altcoins for ETH, leaving the altcoins as 'collateral damage'.

Has anyone studied this negative correlation - i.e. ETH goes higher against USD, but altcoins drop against ETH?  

How long does it usually last?

I've been actively trading only since March, so I haven't seen a lot of the price action that goes on.  I've only seen altcoins rally along with ETH.

Lately, I've erred on the side of being too heavily positioned in altcoins, so I'm debating whether to HODL or to just take profits on the little profits I have left.  LOL.

Is anyone else convinced altcoin dominance will go higher?

My feeling is BTC dominance has peaked and we can will see BTC dominance going lower towards 42% to 45%, which would mean that altcoins will rally against BTC - and hopefully ETH.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!!

A lot of alt-coins are competitors with ETH, those that aren't are often priced against ETH. If the price of one thing goes up then the price of something else relative to it has to decrease unless the other things own price increases.

Dow Jones is down to $21K from all-time high $26K.

Experts predicted the market crash in 2015. when the stock market was down by 11%. The recession did not happen.
Experts predicted the market crash in 2016. when the stock market was down by 10%. The recession did not happen.

Today the market is down -18% and there does not seem to be any signs of slowing down.

Recently the US FED raised the interest rates from 2% to 2.5% within just 4 months.

Crypto market seems like it is not strictly following the trend of the stock market.
Christmass time has given a crypto market a new hope by going from $100B to $146B market capitalization with Bitcoin going from $3.2K to $4.2K within days.


Are we heading in for another recession or Quantitive Easing 4?

What role will the cryptocurrency market play in all of this?

The stock market may be in turmoil but a lot of other indicators are still fairly strong. I'm of the belief that there won't be a major recession for another 5+ years.

Crypto won't play any role in this, it will play a role in crypto but not vice versa.
55  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi's identity on: December 26, 2018, 12:49:54 PM

There is a ton of people out there who can write British English & study computer science.


Satoshi flitted between US and UK English. It's easily done, mostly just drop or add a few u's in to a few words.

As for Satoshi's true identity, I really do believe it is one of those things we'll never know.


If you believe it doesn't matters to know who are the great scientists that have shaped this world, this very own opinion is up to you.
 

Whoever Satoshi is clearly went to a lot of trouble to conceal they're identity, so while it may matter to you, clearly they think it does not matter.

57  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH back to second place on coinmarketcap and overtake XRP again? on: December 23, 2018, 06:45:02 PM
The last few days were very positive for Ethereum (ETH) and price increased by almost 60%. That's a big sign for ETH to have a claim for taking back the second position on coinmarketcap. XRP overtook ETH a few weeks ago and this fast reaction of ETH would be a positive sign for the entire crypto community. It was always a questionable move that XRP could overtake ETH and the recent price trend would back the importance of ETH as second crypto behind ETH.
For XRP, being very overvalued, this can result in another problem and damage of trust. In opposite, ETH was very undervalued based on it's use-case and offers an opportunity to buy some cheap ETH.

What's your opinion on this issue? Will ETH surpass XRP and stay in second place?
 

Long Term I think XRP will remain ahead of ETH, be that in no 2 spot or lower. Short term ETH could easily pass it with some point. The main reason I think XRP will remain higher is that it has real world adoption, even if the currency is a long way from being a true cryptocurrency.

Hello everyone,

Eth has shown that it is the king of altcoins and for everyone that invested when it dropped to 83$ kudos because you made the right move.

ETH hasn't shown anything. ETH is exactly the same as it was just a few days ago. All that's happened is that the price has changed. If ETH drops back to $83 or lower would that then make it worthless and rubbish?
59  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ripple: BULL trap for Christmas? on: December 23, 2018, 06:42:29 PM
I think the whole market is in a bull-trap right now, especially the Alt market. Some coins are up 100%+ in the last few days. The scary thing is that bitcoin only recovered around 30% and then stopped. Given how the whole market normally follows BTC I think we could see big losses in the next few days.
60  Economy / Economics / Re: How cash is becoming a thing of the past | DW Documentary (Banking documentary) on: December 23, 2018, 06:36:15 PM
I think we'll eventually go cashless completely on the introduction of some sort of bio chip that contains all your details of your identity as well as allowing access to your stored funds, it will be used like a contactless bank card is now used except it will be an insert in to your forearm.

Everybody knows how to deal with cash but very few people realize that having the cryptocurrency, they can make good money. Cash can be spent on different things but the crypto can make you a rich man.

Crypto isn't designed to make people rich. That is not the purpose of it, it is meant to be a more efficient system that is free from control by large corporates and governments.

Hmm, seems like a plot of a science fiction movie.

Anyway, I also wish that I reach the time when we go cashless but I highly doubt that it will hapen not because I don't believe in the potentials and capabilities of our technology but because of the people's lack of willingness to adapt. Like what happened now, we already have cryptocurrency and yet there are still who refuse to use it and the worse is some of them try to destroy its image in the public. See my point? The means of attaining a cashless society is present but we're not all supporting it Sad.

That's mostly where the idea is from, but you'd be amazed how much of sci-fi has historically come true.

Cashless does not have to mean cryptocurrency adoption. There could be fiat currencies that are cashless. Most people that are resistance to change have the right to be, they're people who only used cash for most of their lives. In 20-30 years there will be few people alive who haven't been subjected to cashless payments for most of their lives.
