4401  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Forex trading, an alternative to earn bitcoins on: May 03, 2019, 12:06:58 AM
I haven't tried forex trading yet because I think the price movement in forex is very small so if you wan't to enjoy profits in forex, you will need a huge capital. Unlike in Crypto trading, a coin may move from 1% to 20% in a day and sometimes price can move up to 50% or even higher, unlike in forex, I don't think a currency will a have a price change as high as 10%. Please correct me if I am wrong.

It doesn't really matter if the price movements are very small, as a trader with a large funds portfolio even 0.10% can be considered as a really good day. And since you compare with the crypto market by saying some coins can go to 0 to the moon. let's take the stock option or Amazon as an example, a decade ago the price was very low compared today. Amazon "mooned" too.

Then I'm sorry, I thought about ideas for names that came to mind. I didn't check to see if it was already taken.

Edit:
Yes truly.
Sense, bit, stream, flex, etc are common suffix/prefix to generate name ideas. They're generic and can be used in many different niches. Only now I checked the names 1 by 1 to figure it's already taken. If you think I'm dumb enough to search for business names on google and copy here then you're dumber than me. Why would I suggest names, that I know, already taken?.... really people these days...

Seems like the card has some kind of limit for contactless payments in a row when it asks for a PIN but I can't figure out if it's a number between 5-10 or a value or it simply depends on the POS operator
Nah, it comes from the banks/payments service side. I have a Visa card set up for 30€, which is like every day lol and another Visa with 100€, both come from different banks,(I don't use as I find the limits stupid so I disabled this)

ATM commission was 7.5
Some bank ATMs suck when it's about their FX fees and it can vary a lot from for example HSBC and bank for the poor.

Even after Tether and Bitfinex issue still the market is moving upwards it means we are in right direct to touch 6000 dollars soon

Even after Tether and Bitfinex issue still the market is moving upwards it means we are in right direct to touch 6000 dollars soon
True, it says that the market is not in bullish period, if we are in the bear, more dumps will be witness but this time, it only dump a little and recovered.

I had been wondering the same thing for the last few days, I didn't expect Bitcoin to behave as nothing had happened. And even today and yesterday it is on the rise, crossing the $5,500. Isn't that weird? Maybe because the Tether effect still needs a few more days or weeks for it to explode? Anyway, something's going to happen.

Yes. As far as I remember I have never been asked to enter my 24 words seed to update/upgrade anything. And I don't see why it would need it.
People pretty well explained what you need, update first. And the HW components are still perfect even after years of inactivity ofc, it's not a cheap device made with Lidl components
4407  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: IS BITCOIN ATM PROFITABLE BUSINESS ? on: May 02, 2019, 08:05:02 PM
I'm sure that at certain time, Bitcoin ATM will be profitable so don't be surprised if the numbers are growing. Germany recently has 16 ATM open,

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/bhk6qc/16_new_bitcoin_atms_installed_at_various/

So I guess those ATM operators are anticipating a big surge in transactions specially if we are going to approach another all-time-high in the next couple of years. It's business by the way and business knows how to make money in the future.

It would be interesting to know how these ATMs are popular or not after a 5 year period. At the current time, I hardly doubt it's a profitable business, let say just to cover the ATM costs. The demand for Bitcoin is small and when it's about using ATMs it is so marginal, and the fees are usually high. Owners have to bet on the mass adoption, in the long run, to make it profitable, which may or may not happen.
4408  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia to replace USD reserves with Bitcoin on: May 02, 2019, 06:02:10 PM
It's just an old rumor which at the end is not true. Also, remember the country is anti crypto. In opposite, Russia is replacing USD with gold, not Bitcoin, it bough for 46 trillion last year

edit:
@stompix
Sorry, I confused trillions with billions. And also just to add. Russia bought over 600 tons of gold since 2015... just 3-4 years...
4409  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is going steadily up, don't you think? on: May 02, 2019, 02:37:30 PM
@BlueStackz

Don't be so sure because the fact is the Bitcoin's value increase since January. It's just that the market was stagnating for months without any improvement. The sudden rise doesn't mean we're safe from seeing a correction to back $3,500. which is what people were thinking about as you said.

En gros les SCPI c'est juste quelqu'un qui vient, te prend l'argent, l'investit lui-même et à partir de là:
-Soit tout se passe bien, globalement y a du profit, tout va bien, il prend une belle part de profits et te file le reste
-Soit ça ne va pas du tout (loyers qui se cassent la gueule, travaux imprévus, désastres naturels...) alors c'est toi qui paie. Et il prend quand même une part.

C'est un intermédiaire inutile qui t'enlève de la liberté, de la rentabilité, sans pour autant avoir des compétences incroyables.
Qu'est ce que c'est que ces histoires?
Le taux de rendement est toujours plus attractif que si tu faisais de l'investissement locatif toi même et le risque moins élevé.(surtout si le fond est dans l'immobilier de bureaux, entreprises, etc) De plus tu n'as pas tout les trucs administratif de gestion, frais de notaire qui sucent tellement que t'es dégoutté d'aller chez le notaire, et c'est accesible à tout le monde, même avec 1000€. Et puis les SIIC sont obligés de reversé au moins 85% des bénéfices et 50% des plus values.

This institution is funded by a lot of firms like Google, Philips Morris, Airbus, even by the USA department. This think tank is not so independent. (It's the same problem with Interpol) Always the same story: Bitcoin and illegal activities, a pure fear business.

The administrative loopholes could be quite easily fixed with adapted laws, Asian countries will feel 'safe' somehow. But from the North Korea point of view, it won't change a lot, they will 'exploit' another channel, and there are a many  (OTC, etc,) they're sure other countries doing the same but nothing about them btw.


However, we do not need fixes. It is the people who run the world who need these fixes to make it easier for them to control bitcoin and stop it from being a real threat on one of the big banks' biggest business. Money laundering.
Any argument is good to use against the country. They did the same with traditional currencies but now they are realizing that NK is also using crypto: Look at them! Bad guys! Boo!
This is basically an intergroup conflict and The USA uses North Korea as the scapegoat. The real reason for the conflict is REE, North Korea is the most important country in the world owning it (and maybe mainly the only one) and companies USA need it.

It's on my to-do list once I finish sending some documents to get verified to the next membership.
As for getting an email compromised, yeah it's a valid point. But I'm using a private email and there is no password so a hacker can't log in
4414  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin goes down, no new rich people anymore on: May 01, 2019, 07:44:36 PM
The richest people are richer because they own more bitcoins like the whales accumulate more. As for people going bankrupt, I'm not surprised but it's a reminder for everyone to repeat Bitcoin is not an investment. I guess some need to learn it the hard way.
Now you say the price goes down, yes if we compare to 2018-2019, but it went from $4k to 5,5k the last 6 months so I would say the price is going up instead Wink

A banal case after the Microsoft data breach but it's not targeting only cryptos. Come on, hackers steal everything possible via your email. I don't know why something like what happened to this guy deserves an article. just for $5,000 Cheesy
Good luck to sue Microsoft in Justice. It will cost him more than the 1 BTC initial

In this article a guy claims that he lost $25k after hackers stole his accounts. Either this guy is retarded or it is just bullshit because he gave no evidence and with such amount of funds most exchanges would require to pass KYC. Also most exchanges won't reset your password only with an e-mail so this story sound even more ridiculous and not realistic.
You don't need KYC to transfer out crypto from Kraken

$500 is a very low budget to promote anything.
You will have to either do everything yourself, rely on the fans of your project

You could write 20 different articles and then try it to get published on websites accepting guest blogging, like cryptodaily.

4419  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin technology and as a currency different? on: May 01, 2019, 12:28:16 PM
without realizing when trading I am not just looking for profit.  but also very much uses the blockchain technology ecosystem.  I understand how valuable this technology is blockchain.  without the help of blockchain there is no value in bitcoin and bitcoin cannot be created.  everything has been packaged and shared with the supporting community
That's hilarious when you trade you're not looking for profits? Then you shouldn't trade in the first place. Ah, to use the blockchain technology, as you say. Let me teach you that when you're using a trading platform you're not using any blockchain, just a database at best. The rest of your comment is just shitposting.

Of course, Bitcoin technology is completely different from currency.  Bitcoin on the Internet and Fiat in your hands, you can feel them.  Bitcoin is more up to date and Fiat is already outdated.

What do you referer as 'Fiat' outdated? They invented cheque, debit card, credit card, mobile app, neobank, contactless payment, and I could continue a lot more. The system has adapted very well over the centuries and populations. That's not the problem, the real one is the people controlling the system depending on their own needs and their own benefits.
4420  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Accept your US tax refunds in BTC from Refundo partnered with Bitpay on: May 01, 2019, 11:34:49 AM
You don't care to give your ID for the KYC. Your Taxes department know you already and since it gives all your details to Refundo, what's the problem?. If someone doesn't want to send a document to this company then he shouldn't accept to be refunded in Bitcoin.

When you receive a refund from the Taxes department you usually consider it as your yearly bonus, since the money was already spent months ago. Savers like to use this money to save more. Someone in crypto can choose to save this refund in the hope that it will increase in value.

You pay $1000 per year
You received a refund worth $300 in bitcoin and after some months the price goes back to $20,000.

=> You won't pay any tax the next year ($1,000 saved). You will pay only 50% in 2 years, (500$ saved). Your purchase power increases


Now you say can the price may go down, it's volatile, etc, but someone in cryptos knows it already and takes the risk. Since it was a 'bonus', after all. Not saying it's free money because it isn't, but it's like when you win with a scratch ticket Grin

Now another thing to consider.
You got your refund $300 and the price is now $20k. You sell to USD. Another point where the Taxes Dept will get free money again.
Since you will have to report the sales to be taxed appropriately. It will another airdrop with free money to the govt.
