Is there any upcoming project that would act like a bitcoin savings account?

Even if that bitcoin savings account exist, I will not go with it. Like I'll never entrust my bitcoin to that. Whoever knows what will possibly happen.
I'll just trade my btc, and that's a good shot.

What if Governments Shutdown the Internet?  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Governments in plural never work together and agree on the same thing. How do you imagine countries that don't like each other like Japan and China would go about it? If China decided to ban the Internet, Japan would say "citizens of China, buy cheap wireless internet from us!"
If a country like the USA banned the Internet they'd have riots in every city. People would stop working and block the streets. There would be total chaos and anarchy.

Yes I agree on this. Like this is absolutely absurd.
Even in communist country never shut their internet. Internet nowadays is like food in everyone. Everything and every where needs internet.
4383  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you like best about bitcoin? on: June 25, 2017, 11:28:07 AM
I just love the rate of bitcoin. Its volatility.
How it helps me when I'm in financial crisis. I like what makes bitcoin the top cryptocurrency and how amazing it is.

For bitcoin, you still need to improve the speed of operations and make it possible to use it anywhere in the world. While it will be only an additional currency.

Yes I agree on this. Bitcoin will not be as a currency of the future rather an additional currency only. Fiat can't be replace of any crypto currency, whatever will happen nor whatever it takes.
However, bitcoin will always be the future as long as many people patronize it, merchants still using it and I don't see any reason that btc will die in the future.
4386  Economy / Speculation / Re: Sell Bitcoin ahead of 1st Aug Hard Fork on: June 22, 2017, 07:33:19 AM
Hi everyone,

I have recently sold a large part of my BTC  portfolio as I was spooked by a various sources telling me that BTC was heading for plummeting prices  following 1st Aug and hard fork.  They have also said that  July will be incredibly unstable in terms of price as we approach the deadline.  I a now sitting on cash and waiting for the best time t go back into BTC

Given that the price of BTC has risen every day this week and feeling that I sold unnecessarily and am considering buying back in.  can you feedback to me.

1) Is the 1st Aug really going to be that bad and should we expect volatility in July as we approach the date?
2)  Would you buy back in now or wait sitting on cash for a better price entry point in the coming weeks?

Thanks all

Matt

I think you're did something base on what you've just read or heard. Im sorry to say but you dont have  your own decision in everything that you did. You do as what they told.  Grin

Well if I were you I just hold my btc and see what will happen in the market and I'll buy back my btc. And you have few months left brother, its not yet late.
4387  Economy / Economics / Re: How to double your money using BTC? on: June 22, 2017, 07:04:53 AM
Whenever it's true or not , if we see current value and trend , bitcoin will increase on next 6 month no matter what will happen,
I will keep my bits as long as possible since I'm not very good for trading / gambling

Indeed.
I also not into trading or gambling. This is also my way of how to double your btc. Just store in my wallet, and yeah it doesn't harm my btc at all. I also like it on a ling term investment. There's always pump and dump every now and then and so I think my btc will move somehow.
4388  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is on August 1, 2017? on: June 21, 2017, 01:56:10 PM
Just so you guys know USAF is cancelled. Miners finally realised that this would be risky to let USAF happen.
This is why all major mining pool started to signalise SegWitx2 yesterday, currently, we have more than 80% hash support for this proposal.
Everything should be fine in hopefully August 1 we would have upgraded chain with SegWit running on it - and withing next 6 months hard fork 2MB will be activated.

Oh if this true this is good news. All the worries will be gone. Its time for the upgrade of chain. Thanks for this. Oh just one thing, is this in what article? Whats the link, I wanna read it.
4389  Economy / Speculation / Re: what will happen to the price of bitcoin? on: June 21, 2017, 01:46:40 PM
from cryptonews yesterday I find out that there is going to be activation of segwit2x in bitcoin to allow faster transaction and this is agreed by okcoin,bitmain and huobi, what do you think will happen to price of bitcoin?

since it has the majority of miners (hash power) support
and also majority of users (full nodes) are supporting SegWit

if we don't get any drama and shenanigans i think we are looking at a smooth fork with nothing to worry about specially since the hash power behind the fork will be >95% of total.

and without drama price will just continue to rise specially since we have had the good correction recently.

Well i hope this is true and will happen on august 01. Actually it bothers me a lot when if block chain will be split into two. That will be a problem to us and the worst is we could lose some of our funds.

Maybe after august 02  bitcoin price will drop. And that's a sure thing.

If you were in desperate need for money / Bitcoins, what would you do? How to get it, earn it, whatw are your solutions and experiences? I wonder what people are ready to do when money is the problem.

If im in need desperate of money ill double my hard work. I will make the evening like morning just to double my profit. I wouldn't do such crazy things just to make a living even im in desperate need. Just in simple things you can solve your problem without doing anything pathetic.
4391  Economy / Economics / Re: If USD falls on: June 21, 2017, 12:47:17 PM
USD falling won't have affect on bitcoin because the working of both are really different. Bitcoin is decentralised which means price is controlled by the people. While for usd is totally controlled by the government and falling of the currency wouldn't affect the government at all but only the people as things will get more expensive.

Yes you're right brother. Its far different from digital to real currency.
But on the contrary on that,

If USD falls bitcoin will increase it value that the effect. But in third world country the value of bitcoin become scrubby if USD fall. The bad thing of USD falling is the economy have an effect in different country trading USD.

This is somehow correct, maybe there will no effect in the first world country, but in the third world country there is. Like what if usd falls the exchange rate of btc (in local currency)will also falls, so there will be an effect to bitcoin enthusiasts. Hope i get myself clear.
4392  Economy / Economics / Re: Where did you first heard about Bitcoins? on: June 21, 2017, 12:26:54 PM
Just heard it from my brother. He's only a college student while im working with a regular job. I wonder where he gets his money. I saw him buying some gadgets every now and then. He told me that he's doing bitcoin but i just shrug it off coz' im not interested. And now here i am joining signature campaigns and earning. I wish I start a lil bit earlier.
4393  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: More good news for litecoin on: June 21, 2017, 08:56:55 AM
An article summarizing some of the recent good news for LTC. Touches on some of the forward thinking of individuals and groups involved.

https://btcmanager.com/litecoin-supplanting-bitcoin-as-the-cypherpunk-cryptocurrency/


Indeed a very informative article.
It just proves that ltc has a future in crypto currency. Not a long way to go litecoin! Keep moving.
Good to invest more to this.
4394  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I quit trading on: June 21, 2017, 07:23:48 AM
I almost stop trading when i lost 70% of my investment. But that's how it works. Lost focus and your done.

i feel you brother like right now im losing almost my 60% investment. I work hard to earn that money but in a small period of time almost all are gone. I wanna quit trading but im hoping that one day I will recover it. Thus, i dont want to end as poor as a rat. Like just one wrong move all your hard works are gone. As they say traders are not quitters. So better keep going.
4395  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hold or Sell on: June 21, 2017, 07:10:57 AM
if you wan't a sure win it is best recommended to hold it long term , btc market had been recovered for the last 2 years.

And even there are a lot of people that are saying bitcoin is completely dead and has died for so many times. Bitcoin is keep on growing with a lot of factors that investors are liking it more. We are in the right path if you will hold your bitcoins and if you want to secure yourself for better. Just sell it when you need at the right price.
right now selling is not good because in the future the price of it will increase to a more high level. Better will be that if we hold for a more longer period.

maybe do you forget the possible and incoming FORK???
i don't know it it will be an hard or soft fork...
and less i know what will happen to the price...
but all will be possible


Incoming fork will be soft. And yeah, the price have a sudden change. But as far as i know, by june 30, india will be legalizing bitcoin so we better expect a pump. So friendly reminder, hold your bitcoin and don't sell it if it's not necessary. You're welcome.  Grin
4396  Economy / Speculation / Re: Sell or wait? on: June 20, 2017, 09:02:23 AM
I just wait the right time before I sell it, because I looking forward that in the future value of bitcoin were continues raising up. However, I was not sure how long bitcoin price remain in to high amount.
That's a good choose, you choose to wait than you sell it now even though the price rise but you are not panic to sell it maybe you have same like me believe it if in the future bitcoin price would be higher than the current price.

Many people are ready to wait. There are many news that give us hope that the price of bitcoin will soon be much higher. I'm ready to save now, to buy a few more coins for the future

That's totally agreeable. Im one of those people who are willing to wait for the sky rocket of btc. I save mine so if its time to sell I will sell the half of it and make a profit. Then save again and repeat. Don't be in a rush if its not necessary.
4397  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people keep saying BTC is dead?! on: June 20, 2017, 08:53:18 AM
it is just simply they are regret that they didn't buy bitcoins, in short they are sorry that they didn't buy it in low value or low price of it,, this message is also to the people that saying bitcoin is dead,, buy bitcoin now and earn in the future it is not too late for all of us either me, im also buying bitcoins until today.

Yes simply because they are BITTER in a way that they spread wrong information, saying that and this which is totally non sense. Such a waste of time. They don't even think what they talking. They speak without thinking. And as for me I will use this dump to make a profit.
4398  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is Falling...Is it Panic Time? on: June 20, 2017, 07:24:41 AM
Just because the btc price is going low, it means it's going into bankruptcy. Don't panic - this is actually the best time to buy btc and wait for it to go up again - sell it when the price rise up.

I just hate when people get panic if bitcoin is dump.
Why dont just look the other side of this. Its dump and its good to buy for investment. Thats it.
Of course it fluctuates because its digital currency just like the other real currency. Lets all be thankful that the rate today is crawling slowly to better rate.
4399  Economy / Speculation / Re: Where to invest my 20 BTC (lifesavings) on: June 20, 2017, 07:08:33 AM
It won't be a bad idea to give out loans here in Bitcointalk (only to the trusted members). Another option could be to invest this amount in some new Bitcoin exchange or gambling site. There are a lot of options. Investing in an altcoin such as Ether or Litecoin is another attractive option.

Sometimes those trusted ones are not really trusted. Maybe they will scam you. You'll never tell. Better to hold it for some many years and for sure it would do a profit. Don't gamble or trade it, its too risky If you're not comfortable to it.
4400  Economy / Speculation / Re: Sold on: June 20, 2017, 06:57:35 AM
I sold about 10% of my stash. I'm not sure whether the bubble has burst or not, but I decided I'll take some profit (bought at sub $100). We might see $5000 or $10000 in the next few days, but I'm pretty sure the price will go down to $1500 (or even lower) at some point in the next few months or next year, and that's when I'll buy more. If that doesn't happen then it's fine, I'll invest in something else.

What do you think of my decision?

Oh i envy you. I envy your courage to this.
You've made a good profit out of your $100 and thats a smart move.
And the $5000 to $10000 per btc is insanely huge for few days. We need a miracle to that.
Maybe you're trying to say for the next few years? Well i think thats a realistic thought.
