Based on the idea it's a GLOBAL recession then the value of products is based on the value of other products.

Since real estate and stocks make up a HUGE amount of assets, I'd say cash rises due to this. But your cash still probably buys the same amount of grains&veg as it did in the past... If oil falls, transportation cost decreases too, if it rises, transport cost increases. Increase in transport cost is passed onto customers (a decrease is quietly ignored by logistics firms)...

You can right click addresses and press "spend from" I also think there's a view>show coins at the top menu but I'm not sure.

Change addresses are used because they're enabled... If you don't want to use them, you'll have to import your addresses into the hot wallet if you insist on using that specific private keys.

Why aren't you using the mnemonic seed on both devices though? You just have to change the gap limit every so often on the airgapped wallet. Not doing so means you could lose coins if you make a mistake.

Bitcoin becoming illegal might boost its value Wink...

On a more serious note, high value companies that use ethereum or other smart contracts will either use a centralised other service or will have a data management firm hosed somewhere in Europe (if compliant with gdpr) or oceana/Asia if not... Ultimately other than retail use not much will happen.

Saying that, why would a country seek to ban a potential growth product anyway... There seems to be a growing issue of governments not liking new change they don't understand because its not what they can invest in and these people ought not be in politics imo...


(also you might want to pick. A more relevant title, reminder isn't great)...
4144  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Will Drop - Sell Your Bitcoins - Part II - Get 180% Profit on: June 08, 2020, 07:01:36 PM
I think a lot of people here generally have a micro, active and passive parts to their portfolio.

I can say I have sold most of my active part when we were at 10k. I don't know if we are going up and down and my alt-active portfolio still remains intact and at the same value its had for a while...

I think most people will have sold portions of their active btc assets as we've gone up, at least because we've gone up though it's hard to keep track of things atm because there seems to be about as many bears as there are bulls (to which we could probably fluctuate sideways for some time).

If you've got a bit to spare/gamble it's orjbaly one of the best ways to learn. You only need about $10 to try to speculate on things with places like binance or bitmex.

You might want to work out if you're loosing to trade alts, derivatives (such as cfds on bitmex/bybit/binance futures) and then looking at the best strategies to use....

If you don't want to start with the volatility, you could look at trading forex and analysing fundamentals... Additionally some people look at technical analysis and certain skills such as analysing an rsi, stochastic rsi and volume implications.
4146  Economy / Economics / Re: How corrupt is your Bank? - Violation Tracker. on: June 08, 2020, 05:21:24 AM
@guigui371 that looks quite a small number for a bank to have in its violations.

HSBC probably got a lot of profits burnt by ppi in the UK, much like Lloyd's did which I looked up before to have $100000000+ in fines (it could've been billion instead of million)

I also failed to find a few other banks around here like santander but I guess the list might not cover some companies. It's also likely some banks aren't on there because they don't have any charges - which would be the case for santander checking companies House... (if I'm looking at the right name).
4147  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC next Movement......... on: June 08, 2020, 05:13:35 AM
I'm uncertain about the next movements with bitcoin still and the charts look void of support until the 7000 region after 8700 so if we go through it we might have far to fall.

On the upside, there's talk of another stupid gap at 11.9k afaik that may end up being filled like all the rest seemed to (although these gaps seem a lot like people trying to clutch to what they have when they run out of other ideas to trade on)...
4148  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: I've developed a free trading tool and would like some feedbacks to improve it on: June 08, 2020, 05:05:32 AM
If its not much effort to make the channel it might be an interesting one to follow.

What's your definition of a whale though? 10btc+, 1btc? And are these just triggered orders or orders placed?

I think you could probably come up with a lot of other useful constraints with this too, you might be able to watch for a pump and give yourself a notification if a coin's volume and price suddenly spike.
4149  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin, will this play a role in logistics industry? on: June 08, 2020, 04:59:50 AM
Blockchain may see some usability in logistics, I don't think bitcoin will exactly.

But there's potential that you could sign something and a customs official at a post office for example could also sign and seal the contents listing what code they are and then just having items scanned by xray at the border (or whatever they use). I'm not sure as to how well implemented this already is though it may be similar but they sign the security tape or a form placed inside (before the tape is applied)...
4150  Other / Politics & Society / Re: BLM protestors: British antique bronze statue toppled and tossed into harbour on: June 08, 2020, 04:16:39 AM
Lets stop pretending these people have any principles and stop excusing rioters.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/not-onion-blm-protesters-vandalize-abraham-lincoln-statue-london

Now that also has a valid reason behind it, wealthy countries spend far too long discussing how poorer and more volatile countries should be run for their own good that they fail to take into account each other.

The protests in the UK did aim to try to get the government to interact with the US government, it should continue escalating if they Wink. We've been looking at the cells under the microscope for so long we didn't think to identify them by looking at what they were on.

What a Beautiful thing to see the Bristol tea party was. We are seeing a spark ignite around the world.  This may be the start of something special. 

It sure was different... We'll wait and see what can come of this now  Wink
4151  Other / Politics & Society / Re: BLM protestors: British antique bronze statue toppled and tossed into harbour on: June 07, 2020, 11:11:51 PM
But it's been argued for years that the statue should either be taken down or have an additional plaque added to it. It was ruled in favour of the additional plaque 2 years ago and nothing has come of it.

I'd agree vandalising the stature is criminal damage however if they merely moved it, it's public property and wouldn't have mattered.

And there were at least hundreds in that crowd, no police seemed to intervene either. I can't think anyone would stand on the side of a slave owner especially in this country...
4152  Other / Politics & Society / BLM protestors: British antique bronze statue toppled and tossed into harbour on: June 07, 2020, 10:25:38 PM
I'm tryin to work out how just this is as an action because I, at first, was pretty imprested that a statue of a wealthy slave trader was being tossed into the harbour, I had wondered how it had lasted this long but then again, I'm not sure if a government ordered disfigurement to the statue would've been more appropriate (I'm quite shocked the statue lasted this long here).

Also the police are looking to arrest the people who threw the statue into the river however that doesn't seem very fair and it could be argued the plaque that came along with it was provocative and thus was against freedom of "reasonable" speech laws (since it clearly provoked violence).



There is the flip side of this though that he was a speaker on the board for the slave trade which was a very profitible endeavour and the excuse of "if I don't do it someone else will" might just be a similar grounds here since he seemed to follow local philanthropic efforts (according to his wikipedia).
4153  Economy / Speculation / Re: Amazon has a gap to fill with their pe ratio on: June 06, 2020, 06:36:26 PM
I think someone mentioned on here that bnb had a pe ratio of 4.5, it might be interesting to know (or now) that grayscale looks to have the same based on what Google says about its bitcoin fund but I don't know how it got its ratio for that...

Anyway on the topic of binance, I think 3-7 is quite generous since its pretty new - the crypto spaces are greatly prone to regulation problems...
4154  Economy / Economics / Re: Even More Evidence of Coronavirus as Financial Reset on: June 06, 2020, 03:03:42 PM
I don't know why people bother with The Lancet given its many controversies...

HCQ seemed to be proven not to work by other studies and even the original one, there were people saying it had heart and brain side affects but it is a drug licensed for pregnancy so it shouldn't be that bad...

(I should say the study I'm referring to is patients given the drug and some recovered faster but some recovered slower afaik and deteriorated more too).
4155  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum Generating invalid bitcoin address on: June 06, 2020, 03:54:17 AM
Yes there is, you'll want to make a new wallet.

Go to file > new > enter a wallet name > standard wallet > generate seed (or something like that > and then when you see a checkbox for legacy or segwit, hit legacy and continue with the startup.

You might want to move your funds to segwit from within electrum but you can leave them in either form.
You could also send a feature request after this to cex because if they get enough they'll likely change their site to accept them...
4156  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: How I make money with USDT , NO RISK on: June 05, 2020, 11:01:54 PM
Your post is EXTREMELY LONG for saying you're buying the dips and selling the tops...

Anyway good luck! Far from what I originally thought if you're not asking people to buy a membership and are actually trying to help some stop gambling with leverage then great... Small leverage actually is profitible, I've had positions started on short leverage pulled out my original capital and increased my profit but the trick is not to start on leverage and don't gamble (but if you're susceptible to an addition or chasing the dragon then just don't bother it won't end well). Never open a position beyond 2-5x though and without a breakout or anticipated breakout with a tight sl.

Scalping as you're suggesting is much simpler, easier and reduces your risk dramatically.
4157  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: I HAVE JUST BEEN SCAMMED USING BITCOIN LAUNDRY MIXER on: June 05, 2020, 10:12:55 PM
That would
1) increase prices as this requires staff
2) widen the attack surface for an enemy
3) lead to censorship, bias, etc. 
Yep and some companies do that but mst just want their bottom line and the mostp rofitible is the one who lasts the longest especially when even humans make mistakes.

Once an AI can detect a scam with 100% certainty and 0% bias, then I would support your suggestion.

Interesting topic, I've seen computer scientists/linguistics experts suggest that if this happened with copyright law, the entire internet would be pageless (just an interesting thought - but this relies on human brains in the same culture following similar patterns).

IMO using a mixer isn't really worth it. I'd rather buy an anonymous altcoin and then convert back to BTC on a site that doen't require KYC but your money your choice Wink

If you're serious about this:
funds to anonymise → exchange to buy anonymity coin → store offline and wait → different exchange to sell → mixer → either loop back to stages 2 to 4 or stop here.

You could also go to cold storage immediately after a mixer or send it to a different service (such as a TRUSTED mining website to buy a little hosting without kyc or an exchange to buy a common altcoin whos value shouldn't drop so much).

Sending to a classic non kyc'd exchange and exchanging it for altcoins can do well at hiding your tracks as well as sending it to a gambling site and trying to pull out a little more or a little less than what you put in is also not an awful choice (preferably more)...



I also wouldn't do the whole amount at once, even with anonymity coins if they have a change putting 100 DASH into an address and immediately pulling it out is just revealing your tracks to an extent and completely nullifies that task.

Thanks. Guess I have to play with the advanced filtering.

I got a couldn't connect error too.



Whoever wanted to convert a few minimal funds from alts to btc and avoid exchange fees, I can trade for ltc-btc if needed...
4159  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bulls are no longer fresh and will run out of gas on: June 05, 2020, 04:53:12 AM
I don't have reason to be bullish or bearish at this stage. A lot of purple are calling for a drop, a few bulla are still out there but I have no idea what might come - I'm leaning downwards but im not fully initiated landing sequence yet 🤣.

I think the 3 tops was already a massive troll anyway so what's to say it can't happen again... I've always wondered whatll happen if we fall below 1k a coin too... Since we flashed down to 3.8k last time the prospects of going even further with even more dispair could be on thee cards. But we could also stay around here for quite some time and then push in either direction.
4160  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Don't buy facemasks for the coronavirus! on: June 04, 2020, 08:46:19 PM
I was at a point where I was about to lock this thread but for some reason our government are going to start to impose fines on people who don't wear facemasks on public transport. These aren't medical grade masks they're suggesting because "those are for healthcare workers only" (even though almost every employer is using them now). The handmade face coverings are only going to do well based on what they'remade of, things like T-Shirts can offer partial protection against large particles, but things like socks/jumpers are probably going to do nothing. It's also worth noting these just stopp the bigger particles getting through and will do nothing for the smaller particles that travel a further distance  Roll Eyes.
