4381  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would a Crypto Based Economy Make Things Safer? on: January 19, 2020, 02:05:04 AM
We can't go completely with a crypto based economy, because the manipulative feature it holds will not let the economy to be diversified. Another thing it isn't safe as the present system. Because even a small technical error will cause a big collapse. This won't be fair with governments, as every country will have their own policies.

However if each and everything is integrated within the blockchain technology it is possible to find the flaws, through which one can develop and make things safer.
4382  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you use cryptocurrencies in your daily life? Are they useful? on: January 18, 2020, 11:57:51 PM
When we go using bitcoin on daily needs we should not take or think about the fluctuations into consideration. Because the same product will have a varied price today and tomorrow when we have calculations made in terms of bitcoin. Right now very limited locations have got increased access of bitcoin usage on daily needs. Hopefully this will increase, as people making investment on cryptocurrencies have increased than the past.

People begin with investing and further only move towards regular usage once learning better about the market and the goodness over the traditional fiat.

This would have to be one of the best performances by an Australian team I have seen playing in India. That was a dominate win on Indian soil and to win by 10 wickets is amazing as not many teams will be able to achieve this playing in India. Like I have said many times before this Australian team is now well balanced and can take on any team and beat them where ever they play. Its starting to look like this team can be the team like the Australian team in the 90's early 2000's.

They went through a lot of turmoil during the period when David Warner and Steve Smith were suspended. It was during this period that they lost the home series to India. But their fortunes immediately changed once Smith and Warner came back to the side. The Ashes series win in 2019 was a major morale booster for the Australian side. Right now all of their batsmen are in top form (Steve Smith, David Warner, Aaron Finch, Marnus Labuschange.etc) and the same can be said about their bowlers as well (Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc.etc).

Yeah that was a good comeback by the Australian team. I felt that the Indian team were over confidant after winning few matches beginning of the year, they underestimated team Australia resulting in a defeat.

Today they are both playing the second ODI, like last match today also Australia has won the toss and is bowling first. Rohit Sharma is out. What do you think will happens today. Will Australia win again ?
Once after the toss it was predicted to be the match of Australia, because same as the previous match everything have taken place. Australia was strong taking early wicket, but then onwards when Indian players started to score the winning percentage of India started to increase slowly.

Finally the score 340 runs gave the winning for India. In between Australia played well and so partnership break between Labuschagne and Smith turned the match go out of their hands.

Big people keeps talking about bitcoin while very few are directly associated with the bitcoin usage. In recent days I find Akon to be one of the celebrity who has close connection with bitcoin as well as cryptocurrencies. He has created his own Akoin cryptocurrency, and now with the same he has begun to develop his own city with Akoin as the usable currency. This is quite interesting and the effort to help the people of Africa has now gained more media attention.

Now with the rising demand for bitcoin we can see more popular faces to help in the promotion of bitcoin.
4385  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin do you prefer to hold for more than a year? on: January 18, 2020, 01:36:56 AM
Choosing Bitcoin in my opinion is appropriate, if it is to hold for a period of one year.
Altcoin which I hold in a year must be established in the market and has the potential to increase every year such as BNB, LTC, and dash.
I believe these three altcoins will follow the price of the BTC.
Unlike any market situation bitcoin will give profit out of the investment. With bitcoin I never go with a targeted holding, I just hold practicing buy/sell to get small profit out of the difference. This will help in making the holding value increase little by little. Apart from bitcoin the next big thing in the market is ethereum. I try to buy a small amount of ethereum whenever there is small excess amount in hand after meeting all the daily needs.

Bitcoin and ethereum contribute increased percentage while other altcoins with low price on the top order as well as few altcoins having increased trading volume.
4386  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Now that we are in 2020 on: January 17, 2020, 01:32:55 PM
no, investors no longer trust ICO because there are too many scammers in ICO. IEO has also begun to lose its popularity because most will throw away after listing so in my opinion if there is a large pump maybe some people will only choose investments in top altcoin
And not everyone ICO becomes successful and it's a different time during 2017 and I think everyone has learned a valuable lesson with those ICOs. Because they are not that good anymore and investors will buy bitcoin or established altcoins if they think it's worth their money.
Like the said events coming such as halving and other changes for Ethereum, this will gather the attention of the crowd and will reduce the attention the ICO gets.
Definitely after 2017 is not only about the bad market but it also gives us a lesson, a lesson that we should be careful when investing and we have to ensure we understand what we are investing. The hype on ICO is now gone, we are not enjoying a more secured platform which is the IEO and hopefully it will grow this year as the market will be bullish.
More importantly one needs to be very careful in making use of the right market condition. Earlier during the year 2017 people never expected for a big growth. Upon the same everyone just ignored the growth and just kept holding for a bigger growth. Then onwards everyone will be aware of market change and will take necessary action at the right moment. This year is really big for cryptocurrency from experts view.
4387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling cashback services? on: January 17, 2020, 12:15:09 PM
Right now dice websites gives away rakeback based on the amount wagered within specific time period. I haven't come across any of the sports betting websites doing the same. Gambling sites always come up with different cashback schemes to attract the user community. Among the offers provided very few continues for long term and seems to be legitimate.
4388  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need suggest invest in small amount on: January 17, 2020, 10:37:54 AM
It's better to make crypto decisions by yourself because things might decide to head north at the end of the day, but if am to recommend I'd recommend some few IEO have been following for a while now, you can check out some of them on probit exchange.
Probit has no good history of successful IEO project, and probit exchange is not a top exchange, believe me you are better off with gate.io, kucoin, okex and binance
As mentioned it is always good to go with the leading exchanges like Binance, Kucoin or OkEx for the investment purposes. By the time it is also a must to know about the volume of the exchanges. With that itself we can get better understanding on selecting the exchanges for the investment on IEO. Once it was like every IEO from Binance as success, but now the situation is different only the trusted one succeeds. So making a hard analysis will let you invest on the best.
4389  Economy / Economics / Re: What if crypto vanishes? on: January 17, 2020, 09:14:31 AM
Yes, I also think that cryptocurrencies can't disappear without some good reason. And this should be a very significant reason, like a global Internet blackout, which is basically impossible. Bitcoin is decentralized, which means that no regulators can influence its disappearance. In addition, people like Bitcoin, which further strengthens its position.
It isn't possible to find reasons for the vanishing of cryptocurrencies. If this is supposed to be vanished, it could've took place long back during the early days of cryptocurrency market getting widen. Right now the market is so big and if somewhere the growth gets disturbing, from the other end the growth seems to progress high. Right now much discussions were about the cryptocurrency going mainstream.
4390  Economy / Economics / Re: Say Goodbye to Banking as We Know It on: January 17, 2020, 04:11:35 AM
However things go advanced there won't be a scenario to bid good bye to the banking system. It is the universally accepted system that has helped in economic development of the country. Maybe the platform gets updated to the growing need, but the banking industry will remain the same. Right now understanding the need of the upcoming generation and to stand against the growing crypto market, banking industry have begun to adopt the blockchain technology. Likewise updation will take place continuously.
4391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it good to talk about big gains? on: January 17, 2020, 03:15:04 AM
Whenever you talk about the big gains it should not mislead new gamblers with added hope of winning big. Always used to elaborate the consequences along with the big gains. Another important thing when you're getting a big gain from an offline casino, one need to be very cautious as the entire crowd will be watching you. In an article read about an incident that took place outside the casino in Philippines. Person came out carelessly after a big win, he was murdered for the money.

4393  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No one ever sells, nor buys anything in BitCoin.. Think this is wrong, read on! on: January 17, 2020, 01:47:50 AM
For this purpose the lightening network is under development and once it gets full force functioning micropayments will be carried out in terms of bitcoin. By then people prefer buying low price services and products with bitcoin. This way of bitcoin acceptance won't affect the buyer or seller even at hard fluctuation. When it comes to high priced products it is upto the buyer and seller, if both finds it worthy then they can do the trade without thinking of market fluctuations. Till date more large scale business transactions have taken place in terms of bitcoin exchange.
4394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can we overcome our gambling addiction! on: January 17, 2020, 01:11:48 AM

I also know that some of us here will just put their attention on different things to avoid too much gambling. But in reality, it's just easy to say but harder to do. There's no easy way if you really got attached to gambling. But in your opinion or personal experiences, how do you overcome your addiction to gambling?

gambling addiction will be easily cured if the person has a strong desire to change from himself..  in another thread, I have told the story of my past who was a heavy gambler who forgot time and sold a few things at home, then I changed because I got married (I didn't stop gambling completely, only reduced it)

but if the family can't change the addict, I think there are 2 ways which the family can try, that is to get closer to religion or bring the addict to hypnotherapy.
One who is addicted first of all will never hear anyone's words. It is the situation that has made a change in you. If you aren't into such situations surely you could've experienced the addiction for a long. Until and unless a person himself decides, it is impossible to get out of addiction. Getting close to religion should not happen forcefully.
4395  Economy / Speculation / Re: Should I Buy Bitcoin Now? on: January 16, 2020, 11:59:10 PM
Buying now and then is always a better choice, and the same gives profit without doubt. To experience the growth one need to have patience. If the profit expectancy period is high then you can go for buying at this price. If the profit expectancy is in a short time one should have invested little earlier. Right now most of the altcoins are turning to make a positive note on the market based on the growth of bitcoin. With this it is good to consider altcoins along with bitcoin.
4396  Economy / Speculation / Re: What are the real reasons of recent BTC rally? on: January 16, 2020, 11:34:43 PM
In the crypto space it is very difficult to precisely mention reason for the growth of bitcoin. Based on different factors it keeps pumping and dumping. This time there is stabilized growth happened and the same took the price above $8000 in a short. Possibly the demand keeps growing providing large scale growth. More positive news associated with cryptocurrencies is a big reason for the growth of bitcoin.
4397  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: China Government Cryptocurrency on: January 16, 2020, 04:17:48 PM
These steps forward by the Chinese government to have their own cryptocurrency supported by leading business firms will surely have a positive impact on the crypto market. It is believed that the usage of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from China will gets lowered, but it won't happen. People always will have the State backed cryptocurrencies an alternate to bitcoin, which will not affect the market circulation of Bitcoin.
4398  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: January end , can BTCtouch 9k? on: January 16, 2020, 03:57:49 PM
New year has already provided with good growth, and the fluctuation continues. Long back itself 2020 is predicted to make a big difference in the price. Now we've gone above $8800+ value which is a good growth. Following bitcoin almost every altcoin have shown good positive growth. Almost halfway we've reached the January month. In the remaining days anything can happen, on the positive side $9000 is an easy achievable target.
4399  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people debate so much about BTC value? on: January 16, 2020, 03:28:32 PM
Most of the time speculations were misunderstood as debate. What we see with different questions were a form of speculation. Whether this make any change in the market or not is secondary. Also the value is the one that grabs the attention of people, so value is much important. Rather than talking about price pumping of altcoins, the growth of bitcoin is much into speculation. This is all because of the growth dependence of altcoins over bitcoin.
4400  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The use of Bitcoin on: January 16, 2020, 01:59:49 PM
The usage of bitcoin can't be limited, it is a multi-purpose asset. Bitcoin as a value transfer token has further got to be a transaction asset. Earlier it was much preferred for darkweb needs and gambling. Further with the growth bitcoin has evolved to be an investment asset that has helped in large scale transactions that can't be done with traditional banking process. With time the technology improvement gives more usage to bitcoin.
