41  Economy / Speculation / Re: Another bull run speculated for Q4,2018? on: September 01, 2018, 01:15:57 PM
Hi, crypto market is experiencing a corrective rally now. Do you guys think the approaching quarter 4 of this year would bring another bull run following the prvious year patterns?

I saw the video of Ledger Crypto from YouTube, who is having huge following in YouTube. He mentioned in the recent video saying that the bull market is expected to start from mid of October 2018. I hope it will happen at that time as what he predicted.

Hi,

I lost some coins this year (my own fault in Phising)
But if you send your coins to multiple wallets you can split your investments better.

When your wallet is hacked you only lose this wallet.
This is my lesson for the next time  Smiley (and some other securities)

What do you do to secure your coins / tokens?


This is the best suggestion for the people who hold tokens or coins in mobile wallets and who are not afford to buy hardware wallet. So if you lost one wallet then you may end up securing assets from your another wallet.

In my view please store huge value of assets in cold storage and move only when you want to liquidate. And don't use this wallet for Airdrop and bounty and other stuff.
43  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is now a good time to buy Eth? on: August 25, 2018, 02:53:27 AM
Newbie here... I've been thinking about buying my first crypto. I think I want to buy ETH, but wondering if I missed the boat already?

Primarily I'm choosing ETH because I think there are less foreseeable limitations than BTC, and it seems like ETH is basically accepted everywhere BTC is. Plus its cheaper  Grin

Is now a good time to buy it? Should I wait?

I think this is the best price you are getting because we have never seen this price since one year and you are getting discounted value because the people who bought ETH this time in the last year has same value now and they are not benefitted by holding ETH for 1 year. In my view once Raiden launches it's mainnet then Ethereum will be used for real adoption. I am really impatient to see this. And once POS is implemented then block reward will be reduced significantly. So all these situations will lead to price increase.
44  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best altcoin for you? on: August 25, 2018, 02:49:27 AM
I've seen a lot of cryptocurrencies trying to top off bitcoin with their benefits in investing and having wallets. Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin and many more, but as far as I know these altcoins are doing their very best to dethrone bitcoin, as of now I wanna know about these altcoins more, I wanna know what would be the best cryptocurrency for you, remove bitcoin on the list, what is the best altcoin after bitcoin? Give me your insights about it.

Right now Holo token is looking good which is entirely different from blockchain based project altcoins like Litecoin, Dash, Ethereum, NEO.

It is having unique tech and they are trying to build something new and innovative since 10 years.

I hope their project will be valued at a good price and their efforts will paid off.
45  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: An ETF will be approved because on: August 25, 2018, 02:42:33 AM
The US Government approved the trading of Bitcoin Futures and NOW the SEC are saying they can’t spprove an ETF because of market manipulation!
The SEC are contradicting the trading of futures and if so this could give rise to a
Class Action for any individual that incurred a loss trading on US based futures trading platforms.
The SEC need to announce sooner than later the approval of an ETF or face a Class Action nightmare that targets The above mentioned entity!
I love FOOLS: The SEC are in checkmate hence their announcement to revise their decision: If the outcome is not positive class action websites will be set up to deal with the Neanderthals!
Long live Bitcoin!
Always working on the behalf of Bitcoin: Thank you!


ETF is not actually a significant matter to bring value for Bitcoin and it will lead only to big market manipulation. Apart from ETF approval the good news are or will be BEKKT exchange releasing by ICE and the real adoption of cryptocurrencies by people around the world will only bring value for Bitcoin.

So don't think much about ETF approval and concentrate on other good aspects.
46  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which country trades the most bitcoin on: August 25, 2018, 02:39:07 AM
Searching the web, looking for bitcoin news, I found an interesting infographic that shows "Which country trades the most bitcoin".
The first 3 countries were predictable, but Venezuela? I would never guess.

Quated for the picture.

It's because localbitcoins reports the price in usd at the official rate bolivar/usd.
In reality, the volume far is smaller

Switching the chart from BTC to bolivars you will see the difference.

Besides, that's data only for lcoabitcoins, most people in the EU and US don't use local bitcoins but exchanges...to which Venezuelans have no access.







Recently I saw this post in telegram. I am now understanding how venuzula and Turkey are shifting towards cryptocurrency due to their fiat devaluation significantly. This thinking of people in these countries pointing us to shift towards cryptocurrencies and not depend on other country fiat currencies like USD and Euro

47  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what is the main reason for india to ban cryptocurrency on: August 25, 2018, 02:35:15 AM
i dont know why india is not legalizing the cryptocurrency ? 

Indian Govt is not in a position to understand the potential of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. RBI issued directions to banks to restrain access to exchanges without any proper research.

Right now India is thinking to regulate the blockchain technology but not cryptocurrency.

I don't think it is possible.
48  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are old coins no more profitable on: August 25, 2018, 02:26:55 AM
There is a lot change going on in the coin market cap top 200 this days and I don't know if I'm the only one who's aware of it. Could you believe new (4months-7month ago) listed token/coin claimed much slot in the CMC top #200 list. Are those old project which belong to the spot claimed no more profitable?

Your opinion Smiley

I don't think so because Amazon also droped more than 90% during dot com bubble but when we see now the price of Amazon that doesn't matter at all. And I am not saying every token or coin will recover to their previous high but i know some of the projects are really have huge potential and they are working hard to bring proper infrastructure to us in due time without concentrating on stabilising market fluctuations.
49  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you think blockchain can benefit healthcare? on: August 25, 2018, 02:16:23 AM
So with blockchain technology growing and adoption coming quickly, we are obviously going to see large industries like healthcare, banking, and law enforcement begin to utilize the strengths of blockchain.

Curious your thoughts on how blockchain could benefit the healthcare industry and why.

A great use case that I can think of right of the bat, is protection of patient data, making it immutable once stored.

Blockchain technology can leverage the healthcare in terms of security by keeping the sensitive health records of various people in encrypted manner.

The people can decide to whom they can share the data.
50  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Token goes down. Wait or sell? on: August 18, 2018, 01:12:24 PM
Hello everyone!

We all know that the situation with market is not that good as we want it to be. Thus it affects a lot of ICO projects. On the one hand people don't invest in coin so much money as they did last year. On the other bounty hunters sell tokens fast and the price goes very low. That is why some projects prefer list their token on Idex first. They want to see how a coin plays on market.

And what investors should do in such situation? Sell all they have for small money or wait until a token will go up?

I'm asking as a person working in such project. After ICO token price went down (KCY, I'm sure you heard of it). And It is interesting to know investor's opinion about such situation.

What is your idea?

 

If you believe in project then wait for long term benefit and don't fall for short term falls and it will misdirected you to sell because you can't control your emotions. Or if you believe that the tokens will go down further then try to sell at higher price and pick some when it's down.
51  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Why Some People Do Not get Paid After Bounty on: August 18, 2018, 01:00:38 PM
I have realized after some personal experiences why some people do not get paid after doing a bounty. While there are some projects who would not pay you, you still have to consider the fact that some of your actions do translate to you not being paid. Here below i will list why some people do not get paid.

1. They do not follow the rules. It is known that some people will buy a new piece of gadget and fail to read the owner's manual and when later problem comes, they start complaining. It is same with doing bounties. You do have to read the rules and follow them to the later.

2. When the rules are updated, they do not know and thus suffer from it. This one reason why people do not get rewarded. You have to be visiting the bounty thread or page to know if there is an update or checking social channels mostly Telegram.

3. People using your username and copying your content (blog). If you are doing bounties, its good you continuously check the spreadsheet to report any one who you see using your name or copying your work. This is important else some bounty manager may blacklist you thinking you are one doing or just blacklist both you and the one using your details.

4. Finish the bounty program. You may have noticed that the spreadsheet of bounties you have done shows that some people took off their signature prematurely. You just have to finish it else you wont get paid. This is like following the rules.

5. When you are told not to mention bounty in the main telegram group, just stick and obey the rule.

6. If a project advises for KYC and you dont like, just dont do it.

Thank you. hope this helps somebody to know where they have messed up previously.

Over and Out.

Mostly it happens only when you don't follow the rules as they described then they will stop to give stakes for your contribution. And the bounty amount is not fixed and it is variable and decided  as per the amount raised in ICOs. Now a days no single ICO is reaching their hardcap but they are advertising like the max bounty if they fully raise the money. So participate in project bounty which are really productive. Don't fall for figures which are shown in the titles.
52  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coins kept in exchange, are they safe? on: August 18, 2018, 12:56:09 PM
I feel keeping our coins in exchanges, mininize the risk of loosing our coins to wallet hackers.

Don't keep your tokens in exchanges. Even though you enabled 2 FA, it is very risky because now a days exchanges itself are vulnerable to hacking and attacks. So please keep your tokens of coins in cold wallets after completion of trade.
53  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BTC in 2017 and 2018!! on: August 18, 2018, 12:54:03 PM
other than the price, what difference happened to BTC in 2018 and 2017 ago? then what is your hope for the future. according to your personal experience.
thank you!

Everyone knows that BTC gone bull run in 2017 and that's why most of them knows about BTC now and now they are criticizing BTC for bear run in 2018. This bear run was started only due to lack of regulation and hacks from exchanges which are nothing to do BTC. Everyone will see the real value of BTC in near future then they will feel sad.
54  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How bad are ICOs this year? on: August 18, 2018, 12:49:20 PM
News headline says "76% of This Year’s ICOs Are Already Under Water"  and most of these are ICOs launched at the first quarter of this year.
If you’re going to invest in an ICO, then, the message is clear: be selective, choose blockchain projects over anything else and make sure you get into the pre-sale. Otherwise, you’ll be wasting your time and your ethereum.

Watch out folks!  Grin

https://news.bitcoin.com/76-of-this-years-icos-are-already-under-water/?utm_source=OneSignal%20Push&utm_medium=notification&utm_campaign=Push%20Notifications

Most of the ICOs which are raised money during 2018 may be traded at higher prices initially at max 10 times for Holo ICO but as of now every ICO token price is mostly trading at 80 to 90% discount from their ICO price. Everyone is in loss.
55  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: There are too many ICO, why? on: August 18, 2018, 12:46:57 PM
I have seen so many signature in the forum and some of these signatures are good as i have been also visiting their website, btt forum and their telegram. The project they are also promoting are unique and most of it are promising project. However, this promising project will get compromise because the number of investors will compromised with the number of ICO being introduced. So the money of all the investors if it will be evenly distributed the ICO will not going to success because it could not raise more funds that is why i am raising this thread on why there are too many ICO? A great number of ICO's will increase the chance of the ICO's to fail.

This is the global movement and not a state or country movement. In this global space every developer or experts wants to fulfil the space with innovative approach. We know that people from different countries are concentrating on same type of ICOs for their own countries. In a whole we are seeing multiple same type of ICOs for single problem. Everyone wants to win the race but we don't know who will win. Time will tell us and lead to right way.
56  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Investors Eye Turkey As Lira Plummets 20% on: August 18, 2018, 03:39:42 AM
https://www.forbes.com/sites/workday/2018/07/25/global-finance-leader-study-finance-leaders-share-the-top-risks-that-matter-most/#88a1aa64891e

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading volume on Turkey's exchanges has surged over recent days as the country battles to contain a currency crisis that looks set to continue into this week.

Koinim, Turkey’s largest exchange, has reported a 63% increase in Bitcoin trading volume, while the BTCTurk and Paribu exchanges have said their volumes are up 35% and 100% respectively, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Unlike Iran, where a ban on bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading means those wanting to buy bitcoin must turn to peer-to-peer exchanges like LocalBitcoins, banks in Turkey often still work with local exchanges, meaning fresh adopters can begin buying and trading more easily.

As a result, bitcoin trading volume in Turkey on LocalBitcoins has not increased as much as it has on local exchanges.

Meanwhile, bitcoin and cryptocurrency users in the country have been speaking of their fears over Turkey's currency crisis and economy.

One bitcoin user in Istanbul who goes by a pseudonym, Bitmov, told CoinDesk he has been using bitcoin to buy digital ads abroad for over three years.

"I started personally trading crypto 1.5 years ago because of the weakness of the Turkish lira, and fear of the political, and financial, status of the Turkish government," Bitmov told CoinDesk. "Cryptocurrency makes me feel much safer."

MORE FROM FORBES
Another bitcoin user, who prefers to use his Twitter handle, Bit_gossip, told CoinDesk: "Every day there are new [bitcoin] exchanges coming up in Turkey."

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency traders around the world have been talking about the sudden drop in the value of the Turkish lira.@HERRVONBRAUN / TWITTER

An escalating dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump over tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminum and concerns about the health of the Turkish economy meant the Turkish lira lost a fifth of its value against the dollar last week, pushing it to record lows and down around 45% so far this year.

And the Turkish lira has continued to slide despite the country’s finance minister promising to implement a market-calming plan on Monday.

Finance Minister Berat Albayrak said in a Sunday interview with local media outlet Hurriyet that Turkish institutions will take "necessary steps", though Reuters reports few specifics were provided.

Albayrak's comments come hours after Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan railed against high interest rates and described the plunge in the country’s currency as a foreign "operation".

Erdogan also called on Turkish citizens to exchange any dollars, euros or gold they own for the lira to prop it up, according to media reports.

Now Turkey risks a Venezuela-style move towards bitcoin and cryptocurrency if people lose faith in its currency.

I heard this news recently that Lira price is fallen significantly more than 20 to 30% in few months. This one impacted not only turkey but also emerging countries like India. This is happening only because of our largely dependency on US dollars. US dollar is accepted as universal currency whereas other currencies are not exposed to that level. The US country also taking advantage on this by introducing new restrictions and in other way. Due to this change fiat rates we are badly paying higher amounts for our daily use goods and services.

We need to avoid large dependence on US dollars by adopting public cryptocurrencies. But that time has not come. Once the currency prices are stabilised then no one controlls the currency.

https://www.livebitcoinnews.com/4-in-10-americans-will-never-invest-in-bitcoin-says-latest-crypto-study/

I've known some few friends who are into forex and stock investments. When they've learned that I engage myself into crypto trading and investments they discouraged me due to bitcoin's price volatility and unpredictable fluctuations. All I can say to them is that I only invest an amount that I can surely afford to lose and taking huge risks will definitely compensate you good returns as well. I bumped into this article saying that 4 in 10 Americans will never invest in bitcoin, which is somewhat realistic but still history can really tell that bitcoin has changed lots of millennials who took the risk and profited when bitcoin value skyrocketed to almost $20k last year.

So with this article it shows that there is still high percentage of Americans that is willing to take risks to invest in bitcoin just to make some good profit in the near future. What are your thoughts regarding this one? Share me your thoughts.

As you said the people who desires to take huge risk will invest in huge volatile assets and that will result in either huge profit or loss. Where the asset having huge standard deviation (volatility) then that asset will have huge risk. So be cautious be investing in any risky assets. Try to put max 10% of your saving to avoid disaster situations which can impact your lives.
58  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can be a national treasure. on: August 18, 2018, 03:27:32 AM
Bitcoin is truly a treasure for someone who achieved even a single piece of it. Its value transcends that of a precious gold dust, proven that most people spend most of their time and effort to gain one bitcoin atleast. One can say that a bitcoin can replace everything; from salary, currency and that of a treasure. A country with its citizen having much reserve of bitcoins can be a powerful economic advantage.

Can we consider bitcoins as national treasure of a country comsidering its economic significance?


Recently I heard news that some small countries are started reserve the Bitcoins in their treasure. It's not huge but the thinking is already started by various Governments. If every Government wants to store bitcoins as reserve then Bitcoin value will skyrocket significantly. We have long time to go. First Governments should understand that they will fail by introducing their own centralised digital currency because the blockchain and bitcoin is not designed to meant for that. It's objectives itself says decentralisation. So first we will see Govt fail and then we will see the rapid phase of real adoption of public cryptocurrency.
59  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Newbies to Bitcoin can be dangerous! on: August 18, 2018, 03:17:44 AM
I have run into several Bitcoin "newbies" over the last couple of months, that are spreading the wrong information on forums and/or in person. Their intentions is good, but the results is bad, because they did not do proper research.

Some of these people are selling themselves as experts, because they have been in the scene for a few months. I have been in the scene for years and I still know very little about EVERY aspect of this technology.

I think you should rather admit it, when you do not know something about the technology, than selling your little knowledge as facts. I will regularly tell people that I am not clued up with every aspect of this technology, but I always try to do proper research, when I encounter something that I am not 100% clued up on.

~ Ask, if you not sure.
~ Do not lie, if you are unsure.
~ Do proper research, before you educate other people.
~ Accept that you will not know it all.
~ Fact check what you already know.
~ Do not argue, if you not sure about your facts.

Let's agree that we all learn something new about this great technology almost every day, so only a small amount of us are experts.  Wink

Most of the retail investors we see now in cryptocurrencies market are entered mostly in the peak of hype or bull season. And they are badly effected. And not only that the people who entered earlier also are in loss. But the difference between these two type of people is the earlier people who entered are entered in this market based on anticipation on potential future of crypto market. But the late Community are entered mostly to earn money quickly. Everyone will be rewarded who wait for long term patiently. But investing in shitcoin will not give returns in long term. So pick the good coins for long term hold.

I mean Why bitcoin? Why waste huge energy in mining. As everyone know bitcoin is useless in terms
of usability.
My question to bitcointalk users :

Is this possible that any altcoin become no 1 on coinmarketcap and bitcoin disappeare

I think this can be possible, what you think so comment below...



In the time where Altcoins are not fully developed and if Bitcoin fails then confidence on total cryptocurrency market will decline significantly. But in your case if Altcoin replaces Bitcoin in future then that means market is more matured to understand about cryptocurrencies so at that time if Bitcoin fails then I don't think Cryptocurrency market will fail.
