4441  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I've just put ALL my student savings into TURTLECOIN ($50K) on: January 12, 2019, 09:35:05 PM
I wish I had 50000 dollars to invest in coins. My parents didn't even have 5000 and if they had they wouldn't spend it on me and my school for sure.
If I had 50k I'd move to a country with free education and invest my money into a business or Bitcoin, so that story about spending your school money doesn't really strike me as stupid. Only that part about choosing a shitcoin does.

16th more code developped coin on coingecko dev index and you call it a shitcoin. That's just how stupid you sound. DYOR before writing about a coin you know nothing about.


Did you get triggered by that word?
Are you for real? 16th? Does that make it a great coin worth of our attention? XRP has the second market cap out of all coins and it's still and always will be a shitcoin.

This would only work if you were able to buy all Bitcoins for fiat. The supply circulating on exchanges isn't even half of all Bitcoins in existence. Even if you were able to make accounts on all exchanges in the world you would be able to buy maybe 30% of all coins present on exchanges because a lot of it is being held there and used for active trading. Not sitting on open positions and can't buy coins from accounts they have to be up for sale. Buying all coins is impossible.

You don't understand the advantages of PoW. It can monetize private production of power. It allows people to have their own power sources and turn it directly into electronic money that doesn't depend on your country or your local economy. PoS has its weak points too like centralization.
4444  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are your top five coins of all times on: January 12, 2019, 12:43:54 AM
BTC because it's the king. It's also the only coin that I trust in full and tha one I'm sure will succeed.
ETH because it still has features that BTC doesn't and as long as there are no BTC smart contracts it will be popular.
ADA I like the project and the people behind it. It can really do well in future.
DOGE because of how it became popular. A stupid meme coin is still alive even when the meme is no longer popular. It's a miracle.
XMR because it was the first privacy coin I got to know and because we need coins that are anonymous just like we need coins that aren't.

This is why you should know that there are manipulators in the crypto space. They can do anything to cause a dump and they want to pump, they are always ready for it.
Contrary to people's opinion of the present updates on ETH, instead of it moving uptrend, it is the reverse.

Their options are still limited by their capital. If they buy 1000 Bitcoins they can only sell 1000 bitcoins and people see it and are less and less susceptive to these tactics.
They are making money by trying to start a fake pump or a fake dump and hoping that people will follow and buy/sell after their move. They are screaming and hoping for an echo. It's our job to make sure they don't hear it.
4447  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: do we still have hope to be able to see bull run?? on: January 12, 2019, 12:02:41 AM
now the market falls again, do we still have hope to be able to see bull run. no one knows when the market can recover. even with the many good news about the ethereum hardfork unable to make the market jump. so I thought bull run would only be a dream for all of us.

ETH fork did make ETH go up. Did you really miss that? The problem is that ETH reacts to Bitcoin and somebody dumped a lot of Bitcoins to push the price down which made most other coins lose value. We can't really do much to fight whale pumps and dumps. The best thing to do is to ignore them and not try to participate in these swings. You can read from the charts that those who bought in December sold.

I guess we should first ask ourselves why we should believe in what he says at all

If I got it right, he is claiming that he is Satoshi Nakamoto in the flesh. If this is true (let's assume that for a moment), it does mean that he can easily drive the prices into single digits, given that Satoshi has around 1M bitcoins in his wallets. So he can potentially destroy any Bitcoin-based business

On the other hand, if he is lying, which seems to be the case, then his financial muscle remains to be independently assessed. For lack of such assessment and taking into account his lies about him being Satoshi Nakamoto, there is no reason to think that he has got even 1 satoshi

He can, or rather could have some coins because he got into space early. It would be stupid not to buy Bitcoins cheap or mine them in the days when you could do it on your average laptop. He's greatly exaggerating his resources. He might have a couple million dollars to juggle but no more. People who talk much rarely deliver and Craig is very talkative. He insults and threatens people who don't agree with him. All this puffing and huffing and Satoshi's coins remain untouched.
4449  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who Are Selling off Their Crypto on: January 11, 2019, 06:39:28 PM
The current price decline in the market is indeed a bit surprising, because many experts estimate that this year the crypto price will soon surge, after experiencing a severe crisis last year, but in reality crypto is still having difficulty achieving its best price

Many experts were saying that Bitcoin will go up to 20000 or 50000 by the end of 2018. You can google those people and check it out.
Dan Morehead from Pantera said it's going to 20000. Tom Lee predicted 25000. Max Keiser was also very wrong with his price prediction.

Newbies are selling. You can see that there's always a big pump of thousands of coins being bought and then it goes sideways for a while and then there's a big dump. Rich people are making money and small traders are losing. All institutions are buying off the market.
4450  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: To save bitcoin - stop buying bitcoin cash on: January 11, 2019, 06:32:55 PM
Yes, indirectly the presence of BCH, is indeed the main cause of the breakup of the bitcoin community,
I hope they soon realize and return to using bitcoin, before truly regretting later

What breakup? I see people defending many altcoins especially ETH and XRP but there's really not many BCH supporters out there and it's reflected in its price. BCH is gaining value only when Bitcoin does and when Bitcoin loses value BCH loses much more at the same time. In time more people notice that it's not worth it to buy BCH because it depends on Bitcoin. You can buy Bitcoin instead and be much safer.

 ETH and XRP have their uses but what is the use of BCH?
4451  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: coinbase locking coins for 15 days. What?? on: January 11, 2019, 06:20:41 PM
coinbase website and now I saw that I can't move the coins because its locked for 15 days. my account is fully verified with docs.

Strongly recommend you to use some other exchange. For us would be unthinkable to lock coins bought by our customers with verified documents.

I agree with you. Using coinbase has no pros. High fees, strict KYC rules, very little supported coins, they are reporting you to the authorities for tax purposes, now we hear about locked funds. They are much worse than competition. You can see how they managed to build their brand and are popular despite all the shortcomings.
4452  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: On shitcoins (Bitcoin Cash specifically) on: January 11, 2019, 06:14:15 PM
Craig won't be able to drive the price below 1000 dollars. He doesn't have enough money and enough influence. There are legit companies and investment funds that have more money than Craig and it's impossible for a smaller and poorer business to destroy a much bigger one. If one depends on the other in this space it's BSV on Bitcoin not the other way round.

Nobody is even buying BSV. It's tanking slowly but surely.
4453  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The buttom for this year on: January 10, 2019, 10:48:04 PM
Towards the end of 2018, the crypto market reached the lowest price and I think that is exactly what big investors expect. Because if the crypto market price is able to reach the lowest price, surely large investors can reinvest with low coin prices. And when market prices soar later, more profits will be generated.
The bear market would be a multi-year one, and BTC is gonna hit $1500 at some point, trust me.
I wouldn't be buying right now, but I'm putting money on the side because $1500 BTC sounds too great to pass on.

Who are you to ask us to trust you? What credibility do you have? The 1500 Bitcoin will not happen because there are people like you stacking up and waiting  for it. In 2016 nobody waited for 1000 dollars to be back and that's why it happened and we went higher.

I know how it will play out. The price will never go to 1500 doll and people like you will disappear, delete their posts or act like nothing happened. People usually forget about doom preachers in a bull market. Read some posts from 2015 and you'll see a lot of them.
4454  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Difference between Airdrop and Bounty Campaign on: January 10, 2019, 10:38:30 PM
The best are dividends also called forks. You're getting more valuable coins for free. At bounties you have to work to profit.
If you have to choose between airdrops and bounties airdrops are usually better and there are some with value. If you got stellar lumens when they came out you did a great deal. Last year there was bitcoin rhodium that was also great.
4455  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The dump has started for 2019 on: January 10, 2019, 10:29:58 PM
Today is a very sad day for me ... just when I was thinking the crypto space is on its way to its formal glory ... here we are again... the market is red and over 15 percent down...

It's still above the bottom. I see no reason to worry. There can be many outcomes. We can go up from here or form a double bottom at 3200 and go up from there.

How do we free crypto from the hands of whales.. manipulating the market??

The best way is not to part take in their schemes. Buy and hold. Only a small number of Bitcoins is being traded. The rest is held.
4456  Economy / Speculation / Re: How to BUY BITCOIN at the "right" price on: January 10, 2019, 10:14:30 PM
Any price is right if you can wait and can treat it like a store of value and a long-term investment. The price for which you buy will only change the period of time that will have to pass before you're able to sell with a profit. Don't be greedy and don't try to find the bottom because this will make you sit and wait with your money on some shady centralized exchange.
4457  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What did you buy with your Bitcoin as Plan B for the future? on: January 09, 2019, 11:52:39 PM
I think most people that ere in Crypto space before 2017 made money and took profit in the last bull run, it now depend on what you ivested your money into. The difference here is that investing into other asset apart from Crypto   do not give thesame return as crypto, Crypto return is very huge and now I am thinking of selling part of the asset I bought with the profit I made  in the last bull run and invest back Crypto, want to take advantage of the coming halving next year

This is what the majority is planning to do. Those people who take profits are now sitting on a large amount of fiat money thinking what you are thinking. That they would be willing to risk it again and purt money to work in crypto. What paid off once can pay off again and even if they lose they will only lose a part of their profits from last year.
We can expect the next bull run to be very and sharp.
4458  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The buttom for this year on: January 09, 2019, 10:53:47 PM
Bears are finally tired. The "buttom" is here!  Grin



I will say what most technical analysts are saying. We will go up, or we will go down. Either way something will happen. If you have fiat buy some coins. If the market goes down you will buy more cheaper. If it goes up you will sell with a profit.
4459  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which cryptocurrency is best for storing money? on: January 09, 2019, 10:43:02 PM
Bitcoin is the best. I would also think about anonymous coins like Monero if you don't want the government to watch your every move. Altcoins don't hold value as good as Bitcoin but they offer some advantages. Some of them are accepted on small exchanges that don't follow strict KYC rules and allow you to trade anonymously. 
4460  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will the crypto still be in 2050? on: January 09, 2019, 10:21:28 PM
It will be there. There's a lot of interest from rich people and stock exchanges. There's also a lot of interest from very poor people who live in unstable countries and are being robbed by taxes, inflation and greedy politicians. If both the bottom and top of the food chain want in on it then it has to be good, don't you think?
