4001  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptonization Fail ? on: November 05, 2019, 05:57:10 PM
My personal opinion is that most altcoins that are currently traded on exchanges are not needed at all and they will disappear over time. All these projects are completely meaningless and do not cost anything.
This is why I chose to stay with the top exchange because I really see that we have meaningless projects in the market and if you are not careful to be disciplined and stay with very well recognized projects alone, you may end up falling into some of these scam projects.

If we had regulations, I am sure that the 2000+ tokens that we have in the market would not have been possible because the regulators will really filter all the tokens and make sure that they exempt all the projects that looks like it’s a duplicate and also ensure that all the project team and developers are really verified before they can get to announce their project to the public or try to get money from the public just like they do in IPO which we may really find IPO projects free of scam.
4002  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You don't want Bitcoin, You don't want Future :-\ on: November 05, 2019, 02:41:27 PM
The way I see things here sometimes, I don't think bitcoin is ready to replace banks and I don't expect that to happen, for real. I still see some people here saying that we need a cryptocurrency bank, lol, why do you need a bank to handle your cryptocurrency since you say that you need freedom? Having banks to handle your cryptocurrency is still the same thing as it is now, so there is no difference. It's better we continue with what we have since people are not even ready.

If you want to make use of cryptocurrency you should understand that it was created to give you freedom from banks and to give your hundred percent control over your money, so stop looking for banks that will handle it for you, you should accept the responsibility yourself and know that the safety of your money is left in your hands.

From the points you have mentioned, op, I don't like that there are irreversible transactions, that's the thing that scares people the most when it comes to using cryptocurrency because they feel that they are not safe with it.
4003  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) on: November 05, 2019, 10:18:02 AM
The basic reason why people choose IEO over ICO is simply because of safety, you remember that IEO came when we are having challenge with the trust of investors after most of these scammers and hackers started taking advantage of the system to dupe investors, and exchange felt they could come up with a program whereby they will do there due diligence on projects first before asking investors to invest in them which has been very effective.

Unfortunately, it seems like the IEO is also taking another dimension too in a negative way as some of these smaller exchanges who does not know how to handle the project wants to also ride under the hype of the IEO to quickly make money and this is giving chance to some of these scam projects again.
4004  Economy / Service Discussion / [List] Alternate for preev.com to get fiat value for your cryptos while tx on: November 05, 2019, 08:32:03 AM
I am fine with preev.com as I have been using it for years without any problems. But, I feel now they are not having enough altcoins support. I mean we can use preev only for BTC, LTC and dogecoins. But, now I look for using waves for my payments hence for getting quick USD rates for my waves; I look for any new services.

It would be too good if we are able to add/select more number of coins similar to how we are able to switch different currencies and gold, silver on the other end. Some years back people mentioned about few alternates of preev when preev was down for few hours. But, I could not recall them as it was very long back.
4005  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I need your advice! on: November 04, 2019, 04:30:36 AM
I have mentioned a project called Sessia (kicks). The project offers something like incentive. After each purchase, you get Cashbacks, and your friends can see your receipt in the Feed. What's more, you get kickbacks from all their purchases in the same shop.
What do you think guys about its future. I need your advice that should I invest in this project? Kindly suggest me.
https://www.sessia.com/
From the information I have gathered it seems this project is legit. I even saw their post on medium where they explained everything about the Sessia (all called social marketplace) project and the tokens known as KICK which offers fast and cheap cashback solution. It's good, and its legit from what I have seen.

But, being legit is not the only thing that matters, another thing is whether the project is going to be successful. Sometimes you can't really tell. I have seen similar projects that didn't really work out, but I like this one though.

The thing is that Blockchain project are mainly all about risks, you should only invest what you can afford to risk and not go with lots of money out of greediness so you won't regret it later if things don't work out at last.
4006  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are you involved with Crypto? on: November 04, 2019, 03:59:41 AM
I'm a tech enthusiast, though I like the fact that I'm able to make money with cryptocurrency, I also like the technology. It's kind of cool when you tell people that you make use of cryptocurrency and I like also the crypto wallets and the kind of freedom they give. It's just really, really great.

Another thing is that I do have this feeling that cryptocurrency will one day take over, although I don't know if that's the truth. But whatever it will be, it's good that I was able to get into this early and be a part of it and watch the crypto space unroll to what it is today.

By the way, cryptocurrency is the first investment that I have ever made and I don't regret it. I have always tried to be invest my money but most of the projects I come across usually come out to be fake or something I won't have interest in.
4007  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Unrealistic bounty allocations on: November 03, 2019, 02:33:38 PM
I agree with the unrealistic bounty allocations cause mostly these are just scam since they wanted to get more participants to promote and other than that they are adding exchanges like big ones and claiming that they will be listed. Check this out and you will know what I mean talking about. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182812.0

Isn't it the exchanges are the one who will announce it?
They should not announced that they will be in upcoming exchanges, they can say they are applying in those exchanges. Before in ICO, exchange listing are exclusive in the team unless guaranteed that they are already allowed by the exchange to say that they are already applicable to be listed. We'll, maybe due to IEO they seems to market it as a way to announce where they can be listed soon. Since investors and bounty hunters are preferred to be in listed exchanges now than having huge amount in bounty allocation yet no exchange to use it.
The promised that these people make to be listed on a very big exchange is one of the thing that has blindfolded lot of hunters and make them look for allocations of project that will make them to make more money because they believe that once the project sis being released, they will really make so much money, which is not always like that.

They only use this to deceive majority of us into buying their token which I think is a very wrong criteria to use in judging a project right now, we should not look at allocations of these project alone, but we should look at the content of the project and how Quality the project it that even if they have a very low allocation, we will be sure of them paying us after the end of the project.
4008  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The One Thing That Could Stop Bitcoin on: November 01, 2019, 05:27:23 AM
I think that China is manipulating the price and will continue to build up its own mining. Perhaps in the future, we will see even economic cryptocurrency wars between states.
I would not doubt this also, we have very good and sound analyst in this market and many of them could not have been that bad to have been having wrong prediction no matter how volatile that the market may seems. We just keep blaming some predictions that has not come to past, it is not that the analyst didn’t get it right, but because of the manipulations that is coming from these types of countries is the reason why all this is happening.

China has so much money, and they could honestly use it to manipulate the market, and I think that majority of us should learn to always adjust to this also and move along with them in whatever way they are operating, like when bitcoin fell to $7500, I know they would want that to discourage people, but rather, I bought more bitcoin because I know they will still manipulate it up.
4009  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: 3000+ Cryptocurrency on Coinmarketcap on: November 01, 2019, 04:57:41 AM
Days back the available number of cryptocurrencies reached 3000+ while the trading pairs have gone above 20750, and today it has got increased to 3025. If the same continues we can expect the number of cryptocurrencies available in the market to be above 3500+

Is this a healthy thing for the growth of cryptocurrency network or is it degrading the value of the system as large number of cryptocurrencies are available with zero trading volume and without any product backing.
I would not say that it is an healthy move because most of those projects that you are looking at don’t seems to have real working product backing them which means that at no point would they be able to get volume for the market other than the ones they have gotten at the initial stage of their ico when they made lots of hype for presale.

The disadvantage of this also is that it will get people confuse, because the more project that we have in the market, the more it will stress people to stand finding the reliable ones out, but if we have few projects, it would not be really difficult to be able to select anyone that we know will be of great value or asset to us in the future when the cryptocurrency start getting being used more than it is now.
4010  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin down on: October 31, 2019, 03:48:34 PM
Bitcoin is back down to $ 7500 and altcoin is also following Bitcoin, is this to buy BTC when it is going down badly or waiting for the price of $ 7,000,

Relax friend, it is a part of volatility in cryptocurrency. Bitcoin price was going down indeed, but now it is around $9k.
Why did you ask peoples if you want to buy BTC ? You should buy the coin when the price down, now you can sell it higher.
As at the time that op was complaining of bitcoin being down, imagine that he never paid attention to those ones creating fud and saying that bitcoin is going to  $3k, $2k and so on and then make more investment then, I can imagine how much his profit would have been for now, look at me that took advantage of bitcoin when it came to $7500, and despite the fact that I already had so much investment in it before which I am yet to recover, I still bought more coins, and now, I am carting away with a profit of over $2000 just within 2 months which in the country where I live, I don’t even earn up to $500 per month and this is what people should learn, we need to learn to be patient in life and try to study our investment before making a move for it.
4011  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Asia can be the biggest crypto market on: October 31, 2019, 03:11:58 PM
Asia is very enthusiastic to invest in the crypto world, currently not all countries in Asia that there is crypto usage in the real world, but some countries already exist such as Malaysia existing ATM Bitcoin machines, and there is also a physical coin ethereum. But I believe that as the future of crypto technology grows there will be real physical coins.
Asia is generally a very large continent which I think is even the largest in terms of population, and we only need the larges countries in these continents to really buy into the idea of cryptocurrency which I think that with time, they will all do. We could see how effective their participation is in cryptocurrency of recent when it was just a statement by the president of the country of china that is making the value of bitcoin to start rising all over again, just because people felt relieved now that he is buying into the idea of blockchain.

I wonder what will not happen if he comes openly one day to specifically talk about his support for a particular coin, which I know will be bitcoin, but anyway, this continent Asia could really be a very big asset to us if they accept crypto fully.
4012  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: too many exchanges and will increase in the future, what do you guys think about on: October 31, 2019, 07:32:17 AM
That's why we need to be more careful to join in new exchange projects nowadays. With many cases of failed new exchanges, it should be a warning for all people. Not all exchange projects are made for the real exchange purpose, some of them may be just created for scamming people only.
More new exchange are most not trusted they are trying to scam find a way on how to scam. As you said we need to aware of those and need to be careful sometimes, Because i was one of the victim of that kind exchange site but, They convince me on what they said about the exchange they have. Most of them are good in talk but in the end all they want from you is our coins so dont give all information we have.
The last time a new exchange was released and could be trusted was during the time of kucoin exchange and after kucoin group, I don’t think we still have any exchange that has been released without the intention of scamming people. I am not even sure that any of these old investors will ever even look at new exchanges with all the experiences that they have in the market.
 
Most people that usually go for new exchanges are new cryptocurrency users and investors who lacks the knowledge of these old exchanges and those who are too lazy to make research, which is why most of those new exchanges don’t even get the real volume that they need, and even if they fake volume, that would still not attract any of these old users of cryptocurrency.
4013  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Fee-less cryptocurrencies...Are they the future? on: October 31, 2019, 05:47:29 AM
Personally, I have found out that fee-less cryptocurrencies are extremely convenient for sending micropayments worldwide. Most of them are blazing-fast in transaction confirmation times, making them an attractive choice on top of Bitcoin or Ethereum. Cryptocurrencies such as EOS, Steem, and Nano have no fees at all, becoming a favorite among several crypto enthusiasts (like me).

However, it's yet to be seen whenever a fee-lees structure is a viable solution for the crypto economy. I mean, if there are no fees on the Blockchain, then how would delegates maintain their loyalty to fee-less cryptocurrencies? I believe that in order to maintain long-term stability, there needs to be an incentive via the collection of fees among the network's users.

Nonetheless, do you think that fee-less cryptocurrencies are the future of the crypto industry? Or are they simply a niche? Huh
You can see how the developers of those coins are really not paying much attention to those coins because they have no gain on them, many people you see here in cryptocurrency really wants to make profit, and if there is truly a fee less coin, then I don't think such coin will grow. Look at the way that we have decentralized exchanges, but people still left those decentralized exchanges to go for centralized exchanges and I think that is the way people actually want.

Anyone that is creating a fee less currency now is only wasting its time as not many people would be paying attention to it, people will still prefer to use the most reliable and stable coin in the market  which is bitcoin, which I also prefer to use more than all these currencies that is being mentioned.
4014  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Future of Altcoins ? on: October 31, 2019, 04:31:58 AM
If BTC would raise again and investors would stick with BTC, I do not want to know the future of altcoins. If BTC dominance would be around 80-90 percent, all altcoins will just die off, because nobody would invest in them.
There are some altcoin that actually still matters in the market because this issue of global acceptance of cryptocurrency, bitcoin cannot really do it alone, there is need for bitcoin to have one or two support of other altcoins. What I just don’t support is all these thousands of altcoins that we have in the market, majority of them really need to die off because they are taking the space of some solid coins in the heart of people.

If there was no much-divided attention, there would have been very good growth for some altcoins. Most of those tops altcoins are the one that I think should stay with us in the market because they have some very good project concept that bitcoin cannot completely cover the area for its users.
4015  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you guys think about the death cross ? on: October 31, 2019, 04:00:07 AM
Apparently not every news that we see is good and there have been a meeting in NYC of the big investors Who are analyzing the price of Bitcoin and telling how it's looming near the death cross, if it crossed that then it will directly hit the bottom price and People will loose a lot apparently.

Let's keep it realistic , no bitcoins hitting 1 million and such , what do you guys think of the graph ? Why haven't it been moving to a favourable turn and as far as I remember the holiday season is coming so I don't think I would expect a huge price increase Soon , because we all know how holiday season affect bitcoins.
The price of bitcoin reaching one million dollars is not what we are speculating for now, it is what we know that will eventually be the target of bitcoin in future which could be ten years’ time or more, because for bitcoin to reach that value, all the supply of bitcoin must have been extremely limited and bitcoin becoming so scarce, but right now, our next target of  bitcoin increase is not now or in this season of Christmas that we are approaching, but it will be after the next halving of bitcoin when miners will have their reward and that is what we expect to actually shoot the value of bitcoin high.

Bitcoin not moving upward in price is not a criteria to even judge it for not performing well because there are lot of trades and withdrawal going on and as people put in money for a purpose, so as they also pull it out for purpose too, people cannot just continue to Put money without removing it which we all think will be the main factor for having an increased value.
4016  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Facebook Libra, Why Not Bitcoin/Bitpay? Or is it a problem with scaling? POLL. on: October 29, 2019, 01:34:44 PM
One of the reasons why I think Facebook want this project badly is actually to have more power over people so that government can actually fear them the more and I think this project is something that I equally call witch-hunting based on the experience they have had from the government as regard the issue of data privacy, if they create a coin that will make them have financial control of billions of people.

It would be hard for the government to really control the CEO, and I also think that Mark has a dream to own a Facebook nation, with this currency, Facebook will become very rich, and may be the richest man in the world which with that, he could control so many thing of the world because of that which I don’t see government giving him chance to do that.
4017  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does trading fees really matter ? on: October 28, 2019, 06:24:06 AM
Most of the exchanges have a minimal trading fees of about 0.25%
I see many people discussing trading fees here and there and that how high the trading fees is.
Does 0.25% really make a huge difference if you are earning at least more than 2% ?
I don't really worry much about those fees, though I see a lot of people that complains every time that the fees are so high. But I won't blame them, everyone is different, and how much you have might not be the same they have. There are people who won't have much and that profit is not enough and they are trying to squeeze out more so that it would be enough for them.

To be very honest, that sounds painful and yeah, fees, charges, taxes and all sort of deductions that we have to pay for services we avail, are a pain.
That's right, and some people will even want to look for an exchange that would not charge them any fees for trading. I've seen some exchange lately trying to use that to attract traders to their exchange. Even bigger exchanges like Binance now offers up to minus 50% on fees if traders are making use of their tokens.
4018  Economy / Economics / Re: The Decline and Fall of the European Union on: October 27, 2019, 04:39:52 PM
Was there ever a time when there is unity among men? There was none. Even in the smallest unit of the society, inside the family, there is not even unity. How can we envision it to a larger scale as to the entire world? This is not going to happen at all. Unity is only a concept. That is something we cannot find in the hard world. If there is unity, there would not have been wars, colonization, poverty, discrimination, injustice, and so on.
This is why we are also humans and are created imperfect, there is no human being that can ever achieve such thing naturally without having some people to actually talk to them, teach them and even control them, which I think that it is even the lack of understanding of some certain things that do lead to some of these attitude most humans out up and I wonder what our religious leaders are actually teaching?

It is still part of the efforts from the side of our great leaders that all these European unions and the rest are being formed to actually create unity among men, but some of our religious leaders that ought to be preaching this unity too among men are just busy taking advantage of the gospel to collect money from people and preach more of prosperity than they preach about unity.
4019  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China's plan to sideline bitcoin on: October 27, 2019, 10:42:11 AM
I reckon the People's Bank of China's does not appear to understand what the cryptospace is if their plan to sideline bitcoin is to issue a restrictive digital form of fiat. It will only be another token pegged to fiat that is similar to USDT. However, more dangerous.
You started this thread almost an year ago and the Chinese bank is yet to come up with their coins but the government always have a strong grip on the citizens and they like to control them and with an oppressive government like them they do not like to give any freedom and the bitcoin market gives them the freedom to trade and it is not surprising that they want to take control over that.
They will not just come up with their coin like that without really doing market survey to be sure that their citizens would not really disappoint them by rejecting to use the coin, which I know that even if they impose it on them, people would still prefer to use bitcoin because it is decentralized and really gives them the privacy and control over their own coin.

If they accept any coin that china provides, they will still be under the same bondage that they are with fiat, and who would not prefer a decentralized coin to a centralized coin because I can assure you that any coin that china will provide its citizen and the world at large would strictly be coin  they can have pure control over, which will make it very impossible for china coin to sideline bitcoin.

I have been playing a lot lately, I don't know what happened but I got bored these days and started to play and then got bored again after just few hours and wanted to just lose it all and get out, then the unthinkable happened, I bet on 10% chance to win and I won! After that it was all bliss, not only I wagered more than I normally would with a high amount just so all the money would be gone but I also won on a huge chance!

Now, I have good enough money to gamble like a whole month with my system, just thanks to one crazy lucky shot and hitting it, lets hope that I won't get crazy again and try it once more Cheesy. I am pretty sure next time won't be so kind and I would lose all of it, so I will probably stick with gambling on my own system for a long time instead of doing risky moves.
