4561  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin at $9,000 by the end of the year on: March 16, 2019, 09:43:12 AM
This isn't just wishful thinking, there are a lot of great signs in the market that point the way for Bitcoin to hit $9,000 by the end of the year:
The market situation is positive at this moment as it is showing signs of recovery from the current price levels and that does not guarantee that we will see the price rising above $9000 but it is a highly likely scenario if the price were to push for a huge rally in a couple of years, it all depends upon how the market will sustain after hitting the first resistance and if it can break a few resistance level then we might see the levels mentioned, other than that it is early to predict how big the market will reach by the end of this year.

When someone want to be rich they can't make it possible by working 10 to 5  everyday,so what are the things we have to do to make ourselves rich at the right age.

We need to have more income sources like four or five different fields to ensure our constant earnings even if one or two things get us into losses temporarily.Make your investment as early as you can then only you can start making money and remember to save it.
Having a single solid job will also do the trick if you have completed a college degree and get placed in a top company rather than doing different jobs, which will not help you in growing your career in the first place  Tongue. After attaining those basic things then you can invest in any platform you want and you can even hire a financial advisor to look after your assets. Wink What i am trying to say is that, be smart at the right time when you are in college or selecting your career, so that you can be successful in life.
4563  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could BTC ever be manipulated like Wall Street is? on: March 15, 2019, 02:51:05 PM
Gold is hardcore manipulated, a big part of it is done with naked shorts. At least that's not possible with BTC, if I see it clearly.

The question is if we should be concerned about JP Morgan ever taking over BTC like they have taken over silver and gold and controlling it.
Everyone is aware of the fact that inside trading is seen as a crime in the regulated market, be it stock trading or metal or any other derivatives, but bitcoin  being a new market and there is no regulation regarding that, expect these sort of inside trading and other manipulation in the market by big shots or financial institutions who can shell out big amounts just for their benefit.
4564  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Winklevoss brothers suggests more regulations for cryptos on: March 15, 2019, 12:49:20 PM
And in order to bring more money to the market.

Regulations will suddenly come and the purpose of decentralization will gradually change as well.
This might not be exactly true, but the regulation must be there for exchanges so that we wont see much hacks and other shady activities we have seen throughout the past few years and we need to scrutinize the ICOs which are collecting huge amounts of money and doing nothing and to curtail the scams regulations are needed, but that does not mean that the decentralization will be reduced, but the exchanges and ICOs who run away with users coins will be held accountable.

You are an unlucky man for India. But I think India can recover. The pitch is looking good. Balls are coming in to the bat. So it should not be a problem for India to win.

By the way, the odd increased and I am thinking to put some money for them :-p
I am not sure what happened with team India we saw on tours and on home ground, i guess this is the first team to struggle at home and out perform in foreign soil  Cheesy, there is no hope for India to win this match from this situation as they have already lost 6 wickets for 138 runs and with Kedar Jadhav the only recognized batsmen, it is an impossible task. They were experimenting too much with the team before the world cup and the results are evident in this series.
4566  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site on: March 12, 2019, 02:50:02 AM
I will try getting touch with Cloudbet on this channel as well, because their support team apparently has no intention to help me. Or better said they keep telling me the same for a month now. Making the long story short, I deposited on my account, managed to increase my balance with some winning bets, then from one day to another I was not able to login. I did not even requested a withdrawal... Right after, got an email to prove my identity with some documents, and as requested I've sent everything they asked me for. I was told the verification usually takes no more than 7 days, but in some cases could be longer. I said OK and was waiting patiently, albeit did not really understand why my account should be suspended for this time as I wanted to place more bets. All this happened on the 8th of February. I asked for an update 10 days later, but nothing. I am not a newbie bettor, I have fiat accounts with the largest online bookmakers where an ID verification takes maximum 48 hours. What are you doing with my documents, analyzing them pixel by pixel, one pixel every day?! How long should I wait to get back the access to my account?

Your site is pretty good with large selection, decent odds, the wagers are graded quickly, I thought I've found a new favorite for myself, but this bad experience raised questions...
How long you were using the site because I am also a long time member but not placing a bet for sometime and do not want to end up in a similar situation, I am not sure whether I have verified any documentation with them and I really do not want to end up in a situation where I have to prove them I really made the account which is crazy. Hopefully you will update everything till the end as I would like to know how long they will take to sort this one.
4567  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Smart contracts: Hyped or Useful? on: March 11, 2019, 09:28:11 PM
Smart contracts have little value, and now there has been stability. Ethereum has also been hit. Other coins have begun to have smart contract technology, so this will not be the reason for Bitcoin to take off again in the future.
If the project is good enough then the smart contract would be a good deal and you will see more investors investing in it, but that is not the case all of the time, people are easily convinced in the market and what ever advertisement they see regarding any projects you will see a team behind to create all these buzz so that it attract new users, if the project does have a viable presence then it is a different story.
4568  Economy / Economics / Re: One small step for Bitcoin one giant leap for Crypto on: March 11, 2019, 08:11:25 PM
Although it’s true that Bitcoin is and would always set the trend but its beneficial to other coins because increase or rise in bitcoin is always a time for those who are unable to afford bitcoin to get other coin.
If there is a massive rally in bitcoin then there is a possibility that the users will dump the rest of the coins in the crypto markets and enter into bitcoin and you really cannot undermine that situation too. Usually we see the price of the entire market will increase when there is a rally and bitcoin usually has the biggest rally and any coin in the market will not match those price performance.
4569  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin stimulus 2019 on: March 11, 2019, 07:39:39 PM
Finally, first I thought that this fall of BTC price started in middle november 2018 was just a whales manipulation, to get better buing price for the next year, but now it seems that the price is really down as it does not have power to do any up movement. And without stimulus it will probably not move.
When the price of bitcoin is going higher no one complains about the whales manipulating the market to go higher, but when the market comes down crashing everyone is blaming these whales for the market situation.  Tongue Without these whales coming into the market we wont see the mad rallies we saw in the past and everyone is waiting for these whales to invest again so that the market rallies and earn their profits. Tongue
4570  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to recognize a good time to sell a coin? on: March 11, 2019, 07:02:45 PM
Look at the ICO coin based on the Exchanger they entered. If they are listed their coins, to a large exchanger or top exchanger, then our chances of selling fast will be better. But if you want to wait, at least 2-3 months (based on my experience) the price of coins can increase many times.
The price depends on individual projects on how the price will move, majority of the projects that came out last year got dumped bad rather than going high from the initial price, so it depends upon individual projects, earlier we used to see the market going higher after the ICO and after hitting the exchanges, but those days are over and with more regulations coming up we wont see those fake projects again.

@OP what are the coins you are holding so that will have an opinion on what to do with it.
4571  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Monero has the potential on: March 11, 2019, 06:42:32 PM
Monero is one of the leading privacy cryptocurrency but i prefer zcash over it on the market but you really believe those currencies will escape from the regulation and AML i mean anti-money laundering?
It is a really interesting situation on what the regulators will think about privacy coins and how they are going to deal with them in the future, will they force the exchange to remove the coin from trading in public platforms, it is a question for the future on how the market deals with those obstacles. Monero is the most used coin in darknet as far as i know.


Have you seen the latest news? that has explained that the bitcoin gets a lot of growth on its dark net transaction and why they don't use monero to keep the anonymous instead of use bitcoin to create a payment in the dark web? Can you explain?
I am not sure which news you are following and which site is accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment in dark net, it is just old news resurfacing again and the truth is far from that. Majority of the dark net sites only accepts monero and nothing else, when there are a few privacy coins who in the right sense will use bitcoin when they are dealing in the dark web as the sole purpose is privacy.

4572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC FN 146: Lewis vs Dos Santos Prediction and Info Thread on: March 11, 2019, 05:56:10 PM
Well, let us see if that happens. But you know what, I'm more interested to happen Cormier vs Lesnar first. I am getting hyped every time I think that there tendencies of Lesnar tapping out or knockdown from a smarter fighter once again Grin.
The only interested sequence i want to see is that both were wrestlers and they never met inside the mat during their reign and one must of forget that Cormier is an Olympic level wrestler and i really do not see any way Lesnar could beat him even in his prime, if not for Jon Jones who i consider is the greatest of all time everyone would say Cormier is the best fighter ever but he is best fight who transitioned from wrestling to MMA.

Maybe its time for a rematch between Stipe Miocic and Junior Dos Santos. In terms of wins, its 1:1 for both Stipe Miocic and Junior Dos Santos.
I would like to see Stipe Miocic fighting against Cain Velasquez as both are coming off a loss, it would be a great story considering they never faced each other and Stipe never fought after his loss against Cormier and he needs to fight again before fighting for the title again rather than asking for a rematch as he was knocked out clean and not even a lucky shot.
4573  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wozniak Sold his BTC at the height of the bull run on: March 11, 2019, 05:11:54 PM
I don't know is he had an insider info, maybe he's just knowing that the bubble will popped very soon. That's why he sold his coins, we never know what is the reason though lol. The thing is, what a good move from him, sold his coins at the top price.
Everyone is speculating by the words that he sold when the price of bitcoin was at an all time high valuation, we all know that the price of bitcoin was below $700 a couple of years back and anyone who sold bitcoin beyond a couple of thousand dollars would say that they sold when the price was at an all time high valuation, there is nothing concrete to prove that he sold when the market started to fall after the rally, i have not seen any interview in which he claims that he sold the coins when the price reached the pinnacle. Wink
4574  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Bitcoin matured as a currency? on: March 11, 2019, 03:43:18 PM
Would you say that Bitcoin has shed it's speculator skin and emerged as a true currency, after this correction? I think with most of  the speculators left the Bitcoin scene in the last year or so and Bitcoin has truly transformed into a community of people who are more interested in the technology and using the technology as a currency. <This explains the stable price>  Huh
As long as there is investment in the bitcoin market you wont be seeing a stable price and that literally means never and with the introduction of future markets the cycle is complete, it is a market like we never saw before with all the possibilities in one and it is a tremendous growth in a short space, now we are waiting for the mass adoption and traders understanding the true potential and it will happen soon and then it will be the true money of the internet.
4575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: March 11, 2019, 03:16:36 PM
It's a part of the game. You can not blame a single player. Pant is a good player for India. Australia was very cool headed in chasing this run. They always are I think.
You really cannot blame him, the amount of pressure when the entire stadium is booing against him when he misses a chance and the name of Dhoni popping up every now and then will put is immense, but if Dhoni was in his place India would have won the match easily as he is the best wicket keeper and strategist in the cricketing history. India missed many chances and so is the reason they lost two matches only because of their sloppy fielding.
4576  Economy / Speculation / Re: When Will Btcoin Get Back To $20k up ? on: March 11, 2019, 02:38:33 PM
Experienced traders and investors say that Bitcoin value would go upto $50K. But its still not sure as non can predict the exact price of any crypto coin. However, everyone here is expecting for a good come back  with values more than $5K in 10 days. A sudden hike is required. Lets see
Never expect a huge spike like that anytime soon, it will take a long time for the recovery and we are witnessing that, never expect the price to rise steep as we saw in the past, the market has grown tremendously when you take the initial price, ten years ago and that in itself is a big accomplishment.
As said, everyone is expecting a rally in the near future and it might happen in a couple of years.
4577  Economy / Economics / Re: Everything is an investment-change my mind on: March 11, 2019, 02:11:22 PM
I constantly here people say " Only invest what you can afford to lose"  Well no matter where your wealth is it could crash.

-Invest in USD- USA could collapse and experience mass inflation making your dollars nearly worthless
You might not see those situations in your life time, so do not need to worry about that. Tongue

Quote
-Invest in Bonds- Government could collapse making your bonds worthless
It depends upon where you stay, if you are in a volatile environment, then it is much riskier, but in normal countries they will have some fundamentals.

Quote
-Invest in real estate- Housing prices could crash, natural disaster could hit and insurance company could go bankrupt
Have you heard any insurance company going bankrupt other than bad policies by the management.

Quote
-Invest in metals- prices could crash, asteroid mining could collapse prices
The price of doing that will be astronomical, just imagine the initial cost, the price will not drop even in that case. Tongue

Quote
Your money is never 100% safe no matter where it is invested.
This part is true, your money is not safe 100% anywhere, even if you store in your house, someone can steal, natural disasters as you mentioned  Tongue, anything can happen, if you store in a third party, it can go bankrupt by the bad policies of the management.
4578  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the likely problems that cryptocurrency poses to the financial sector? on: March 11, 2019, 01:22:42 PM
Some say it doesn’t really pose any kind major threats to the financial system, since it’s too unstable to be accepted as a regular currency. However, others say it will totally disrupt the current model. What do you guys think?
It depends upon where you stand logically, if you are safeguarding your business because a better option is out which can be used by anyone in the world and trade without boundaries could disrupt some business enterprises and for them it will create problems  Tongue, other than that it is a better solution for everyone to trade internationally. Eventually the masses will understand the real value of bitcoin rather than its trading value.

What do you guys think about a "Stake Coin"?
They could come up with their own coin and it is highly possible if they really wanted to, i have seen some sites in the past trying to do something like this but they were not established sites and they went out just like that after a few months as it is hard to capture the market with their own induced coin, the team behind them started the entire gambling spree in the bitcoin market and if anyone can be successful with their own coin, they are the only team.
4580  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Crypto mass adoption of crypto stabalize the prices? on: March 11, 2019, 09:21:22 AM
Volatility will remain so long cryptocurrency or bitcoin is decentralized. Is simple, the reason for volatility as far as cryptocurrency is concern is because it is not moderated or controlled. And so any body can order whatever volume or dump too.

This is why some icos try to regulate how much coin you can order for at times but this is just on their individual platform.
Volatility and decentralization does not have anything in common, look at stock exchanges and forex, they are not decentralized yet you see volatility in the market, as long as there are new investors into any form of investment, the price will be volatile and there is nothing that can be done, the increase in price depends upon the buy and sell order and that determines the market situation.
