4181  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto to trigger a global bank run? on: June 01, 2019, 06:54:34 PM
I think that could happen but of course what we are facing now has not reached this level. What I mean is what will require a cooperation agreement that has a vision and mission and of course each country has their own ego. Im not sure about economical global changes even i support it.

No need cooperation or anything like that. It could come from an economic situation with worldwide impact. Like Europe collapsing financially (which is not far to happen btw). I take Europe as examples because it could have a bigger effect than the 2008 crisis and Leman Brothers.
Another example could be the Venezuela case, here it's a matter of politic

Look like just a spammy service to me. Telegram usernames scraped from already existing projects, and add to a new channel. Most people added don't care or don't notice.
BTT buzz... oh well, we know how it goes. You may not see 'good project' comment but something useless or rehashing content. There are many like this one the www.

Oh man, no more crash! We all got enough time to buy cheap when it was crawling the $3,500, even the whales. 2019 has been pretty boring so far. Too bad for you, no cheaper bitcoins Grin Let's make a better Q2.
I'm talking about dollar cost averaging, not buying in big. I have done my main buying part below $4000 already, but it sucks dollar cost averaging at these prices. I want the most out of my fiat, not less.  Tongue

Lucius says it could hit the $30k in 2 months, I now Bitcoin can become crazy but pretty sure it will take longer than some months, maybe not even in 2019...
Who is Lucius? Every random forum member is just guessing. It could go to $20k or plummet back to $6000 in the coming months. No one expected the price to touch $9000 so soon.

Before the pump people thought that 2019 would be a slow year and $5000 before the end of the year would be a great price, but we have been generously rewarded. This market is full of surprises.

I consider any prediction or analysis just another opinion to consider among many others. I quoted Lucius because I echo his opinion but wasn't fully agree with. So I wanted to say if it happens (and it could) it will take longer than 1 or 2 months. Why not? You admit by saying the market is surprising=)
4186  Economy / Speculation / Re: Just Hanging On on: May 31, 2019, 07:38:03 PM
Hey, do you make a big difference between $300 and $500 ups or downs? I don't.
Why bother so much if Bitcoin costs $500? We've seen Bitcoin doing this a lot of times, and again recently over the last 2 months where we've seen several $300 ups/downs.
I think It's something people have to get used to seeing in the next few weeks, (considering BTC continues its trend)

But people should be happy the site gives some time before. He could just have closed the site and never log in again here. And keep the bitcoins that were not transferred out. Doesn't mean he wanted to leave with your coins but in his shoes maybe you would have disappeared without any message.

Maybe you should give a bit of patience. Pretty normal if the family is not open talking to you especially if the son passed away recently. You must let anger be soothed because it is inconceivable to lose your child.
Your friend owned some of the bitcoins in this Kraken account or all were yours? And how much is the reward  Tongue

4189  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stronger AML Enforcement Might Actually Save Crypto on: May 31, 2019, 11:54:40 AM
Yes but guess what? Scams will still exist, hey will use another business scam model. Anyone can create a website.
Do we have less scam with fiats since the last 2 decades overloaded with many regulations as possible? Nope, how it could be different to Bitcoin?
Look at the examples you posted, why create a regulation/law to punish someone scamming. If you scam, you scam, no need to create a new law for each item stolen.

If you think that you can easily perform transactions, that are legaly controlled by the government, by just using cryptocurrencies then you are probably the one who is not in line with reality.
Who ask for transactions legally controlled by govt. Surely not me.

Without this legal stuff cryptocurrencies won't get any volume.
How the volume comes since the years?

I'm prepared for UP and i'm prepared for down, my 1BTC will stay 1BTC and thats something that doesn't gonna change!  Smiley
I like that. I am hoping for a massive crash so I can buy more BTC for the same amount of fiat. The price pumping has made me stop dollar cost averaging for a while now, so I have some fiat that wants to be put to work.

The dump yesterday from $9000 to $8000 was a confirmation that we're in an ascending triangle which has a bias to the upside when breaking out, so I'm not very confident in a massive crash.

Last year people were a fool to hodl their coins while this year people are a fool for selling their coins. Taking profits at $5000 was a mistake, $6000, $7000 and maybe even the $8000 mark. We'll see where it goes.

People are praying for KYC-AML and any kind of regulation thinking it will help for mass adoption. Yes, a little but not much.
Bitcoin was created to avoid all these limits but since some years people want it back as if they liked having a leash. F**k that, Bitcoin can become a popular alternative currency without stupid laws, not in line with reality. It's just helping the Finance to infest us.
4192  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The crypto exchange industry is saturated - Agree or disagree? on: May 30, 2019, 07:57:43 PM


Okay, that's right. But if Futures have never been popular it is because the majority of investors were waiting, and still are, for more regulations and a clearer framework, I suppose. It's also funny but the volatility of BTC has been the most used criticism and since Futures are exactly for this...
4193  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Are there any BTC holders in the house that collect valuable domains? on: May 30, 2019, 05:25:08 PM
Big brands buy any extensions available to protect their identity (ie: microsoft.porn) but they don't use it ofc, it's just an ORM method. I would say the original idea of @OP was reasonable. In the case of FB and its globalcoin, any extensions are good to buy.
The only thing is, there is a company called GlobalCoin and if I'm correct it's a crypto related company. Look like it's a better target for OP.
4194  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is very likely going to break $9000 in the next few days. on: May 30, 2019, 05:02:16 PM
Bitcoin reached $9,000 today. The time I go to the kitchen and come back to sell some bitcoins, the $9,000 are gone  Undecided It has now lost ~300$. The weekend is coming and the price will surely increase a little to go above $9k, at least I hope.
Finally a good trend.

It will become a meme and folks will file a claim just for fun or to piss off CW. I will do too if I know the link to do that. Spending some buck just for fun. What could cause several problem and fight is the brand Bitcoin, the WP author isn't so important
And yes everyone can file a claim and the funny thing is there is not really any background check. Everyone could say he did the WP.
4196  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Which Mixer is getting axed next? on: May 30, 2019, 03:56:19 PM
LeGaulois, I did not know that BitBlender servers are located in Malaysia, and also I do not know how things work there when it comes to cryptocurrency. But that one mixer is closing down just after other is shut down by authorities in EU, can mean a few things.

- Owner of BitBlender did it in panic and fear, for no real reason.
- BestMixer&BitBlender are somehow connected.
- They get tip that they are next, so they decided to shut down all.

Possible, BitBlender stopped his service for the reason you say. I'm pretty sure the reasons are also the same regarding BitMixer.io years back.
I believe he got something showing he's the next target, not really afraid of the Bestmixer case.

As for the hosting, any country can shut down a website if it's hosted in the said country but when a country wants to shut down a site hosted in another one, it's not that easy, since the country can just tell you to go out. You can imagine the answer if The US request to China to shut down a site...
4197  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Estonia - Crypto project on: May 30, 2019, 03:35:46 PM
Estonia is considered a friendly country for a crypto project only because there is not a lot to do regarding administrative papers. There is no taxes benefit for a company or something like that. I'm not even sure the country has a 'crypto licence" or similar.
If it's all about papers then there are several countries better than this one. In the UK you can open a company for 25$, or un The US in Delaware.
These days people consider country crypto friendly once there is/are 1 or 2 exchanges located there :/.
4198  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The crypto exchange industry is saturated - Agree or disagree? on: May 30, 2019, 10:15:25 AM
And to reach the top, the idea must be more than original and offer an attractive product to attract people

In fact, you don't need something exceptionally original

All you have to do is offer margin trading, provided it is done in a reliable and consistent way. How many exchanges are offering this right now? I know about Bitfinex and Bitmex, though I couldn't come to understand how it works with the latter (read, it is likely something shady intended to take your money in a semi-legal way). And I'm not sure that freely available trading engines (like the ones mentioned here) offer this feature or it is actually usable

Right not exceptionally but I was mainly thinking about a feature that others don't have. Well like you posted and for the same reasons. Why should I use another exchange while I've already the ones I stick with. Only for something that I don't have. Me too I don't get it how it works so no use for me but if I'm correct Kraken also has it

It is like the law of diminishing returns

If you are looking for something really unique, the fact that it hasn't been implemented yet pretty much proves that your effort may not be worth the while (and money) put into it. Okay, you add some fancy feature (like currency swaps or whatever) and how many people are actually going to use it? In other words, you would get better returns for a buck invested if you just make everything better and smoother - user experience and things like this (e.g. faster withdrawals and deposits, more complete and elaborate api, etc). As I'm inclined to think, that's where improvements should be made if you want to beat the competition

I currently think that these are investments with long-term returns. You mention the swap, I agree at the moment but in 5 years?
In the short term, as improving the user experience yes I fully agree. Then they may have also other priorities such as security or compliance, and also their partnership, with banks or others. idk. In general, this is where the weaknesses are regarding exchanges.

At the same time at the UX level, what more is needed to add? I am not an extensive user, but for example:
*the withdrawals/deposits: you mean fiats or cryptos? Both are independent of the company. And if your withdrawal hits your bank account in 24 hours, isn't that enough?

High TXs fees for cryptos: to not get people (newbies) starting to say 'I don't get my payment from XXXX company' and all the useless support tickets opened.
High TXs fees for fiat: I'm not used but in my case, it costs me 0.09€ per bank transfer and hits my bank within 24h and often the same day.
*APIs I have no idea and no use so can't comment
4199  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-05-30] Forbes - How Billionaires Are Buying Up Bitcoin on: May 30, 2019, 09:50:50 AM
I would have been more interested to know who these billionaires are. The article seems to be more of a promotion than anything else, which is not so surprising coming from Forbes. It is not surprising and not new that the riches go through institutions/firms.
That said, if they really have a customer interested in buying a quarter of the bitcoins on the market, I have no idea what ATH will BTC hit:p.
4200  Economy / Economics / Re: The Continuous Printing of Money on: May 29, 2019, 10:54:57 PM
Funny you mention Venezuela, did you read the news about its inflation? The government hasn't published any information related to it for 3 years and now claim its inflation is at 103,000%. IMF replied the percentage is a lot undervalued and the real rate is surely at 1,000,000% approximatively and will go up to 10 million. How crazy it is, see, printing more money and citizens now can't even buy a bread.
