461  Economy / Economics / Re: Which countries have banking friendly to companies that get paid in bitcoin? on: November 22, 2019, 02:52:10 AM
The list has been mentioned, some countries like malta, bermuda, switzerland, germany, estonia, georgia and belarus are bitcoin-friendly countries.
But for some countries that might be a problem to receive fiat money via bank, why not using bitcoin as the payment method? Then you can instantly convert bitcoin into cash through some exchanges depending on which country you live in.
462  Economy / Speculation / Re: Never below 10K again... well that didn't stick - Food for thought on: November 22, 2019, 01:20:58 AM
A few weeks ago when bitcoin started to climb up and seems persistent above $8K, I thought we are slowly going towards $10K but it getting further away at the moment. I've bought at $9K to support bitcoin but turns out to drop below $7K, well another chance to buy more then.
There is one month before the end of the year, I'm still confident that bitcoin will reach $10K, the possibility is still there.
463  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin STILL Good Investment? (Think Again) on: November 21, 2019, 05:22:57 PM
For bitcoiners who have realized about bitcoin in the future, there is no doubt will always invest in bitcoin, but bitcoin against crisis?
I'm curious as well, how bitcoin will going through the global recession, whether it will rise or fall with fiat currency.
There is a positive sign for bitcoin in the long term, that's why most of my funds in bitcoin and current price really tempting to invest more.
464  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin cannot be banned on: November 20, 2019, 05:17:11 PM
The value of bitcoin comes from the people's faith that a decentralized currency is a better way for an alternative or probably could be the main currency.
However, a country could ban bitcoin to be used as a means of payments replacing fiat currency due to the government's power to rule the country, although not everyone will obey to regulations.
465  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you close your Bank account, when your Bank turn against Crypto? on: November 19, 2019, 11:40:52 AM
Only if a bank ban all transactions related to exchanges, we can't deposit or withdraw if the bank decides to do that.
However, not necessary to close a bank account if one against crypto, just register a new account at another bank.
If there is a better option to deposit and withdraw without a bank account it would be more preferable for me, yet there is none for now.
466  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: An investor lost $24 million worth of bitcoin on: November 19, 2019, 10:24:24 AM
Misfortune for someone is a lesson for others, SIM swap attack is an old hacker trick, thus we can't really put too many funds in one place, even for a bank account.
Bitcoin is one of the best ways to transfer funds all over the world which becomes a good option for hackers to steal money and move it to another side of the globe, divide into some addresses, use the mixer or otc transaction to cover the track.
467  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-11-18] Russian Intelligence FSB Linked to $450 Million in Missing Bitcoin on: November 18, 2019, 10:47:16 AM
Remember when we said, DO NOT store large amounts of coins in exchanges.... well that was not just to prevent you from losing coins to hackers, it was also to prevent you from losing coins to corrupt governments.

The exchanges are an ideal target for hackers and corrupt governments, because it is a centralized service that can be targeted. I cannot stress it enough, "control your own Private keys or you will not own any bitcoins"  Angry

People should rather use decentralized exchanges or trade P2P like Satoshi intended it to be.  Wink

It's inevitable, hackers and corrupt governments or intelligence agency mentioned here.
Who knows it will happen? Everyone knows the risk when we deposit funds to an exchange.
Even for decentralized exchange can't provide everything you need, convert to fiat currency and withdraw to your bank account for example, because of it will lead to another problem.

Operators of decentralized exchanges can face legal consequences from government regulators. One example being the founder of EtherDelta, who in November 2018 settled charges with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over operating an unregistered securities exchange.

The positive news and fuds never stop in this forum, just check press and speculation boards.
Many people share their predictions regarding bitcoin prices will rise to $50K Cheesy.
However, there is no dump, just normal fluctuations in the market.
469  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-11-13] Bitcoin Getting Favored by Retirees in Australia Despite Volatility on: November 16, 2019, 10:41:23 AM
2.5% of the retirees intend to get some crypto in the next half year? I find that hard to believe as that generally is the category to not pay much attention to speculative assets such as crypto.

I wonder how they exactly measured that. Probably just another survey with a few hundred participants, and they were probably excited (read, more bullish) due the increase some months ago. I'm quite sure that if the survey was conducted today the results wouldn't be completely different. Common joes like to buy what they see go up, but ignore what goes down.

A report made by the crypto exchange Independent Reserve
When someone registers on an exchange, to deposit and withdrawals fiat currency people have to comply with the KYC policy, or at least submit the id.
An exchange knows who buys and sells bitcoin, including their age, which explains the method of the survey and what they are planning to do with the pension funds in retirement.
470  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Halving Price Prediction $55,000 - $130,000 on: November 16, 2019, 08:38:48 AM
There is no doubt about bitcoin price will be skyrocket once again after the halving, and seeing some prediction where the price might be headed makes people excited about it.
Even the last ATH is a big number for a digital currency, we have witnessed a miracle but it will be repeated again in 2020.
There is nothing rational to do except stockpiling more bitcoin into your wallet before it gets too expensive for us and people will complain and regret didn't buy it when it below $10K.
471  Economy / Speculation / Re: A Saving Plan on: November 16, 2019, 04:45:53 AM
I've been doing the same thing for a while now because of halving in the next year, considering $10K as the limit, buying bitcoin under $10K is cheaper compared to the gain after halving. According to the market behavior, some coins will rise up following bitcoin path in the rally, thus invest in some altcoins such as bch and eth will be profitable as well. Since bitcoin in the discount time right now, do not hesitate to buy the dip.
472  Economy / Economics / Re: Paypal Drops Pornhub Support, Pornhub Is Now Exploring Cryptocurrency Options on: November 16, 2019, 12:24:45 AM
Surprising to see Paypal was accepting a porn business, but Porhnub already supports cryptocurrencies. You can buy your premium account with Bitcoin, Horizen, and a few others. Unless I'm confusing with Youporn but I doubt. It's old news from 1-2 years ago.

edit:
No, I'm not confusing.
https://take-off.news/search/crypto/Pornhub+now+accepts+ZenCash+%28ZEN%29+and+Tron+%28TRX%29+cryptocurrency+payments-198571

It's been a year since August 2018, Pornhub partnered with PumaPay as a payment gateway for businesses.
Besides PumaPay, Pornhub's list of accepted cryptocurrencies also includes Verge, Tron, and ZenCash.
Paypal's departure from the business opens greater opportunities for crypto such as bitcoin to be used as a mode of payment

473  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does technical analysis have any value for Bitcoin? on: November 15, 2019, 11:47:35 PM
trend analysis predicts nothing.
trend analysis just turns people into pump an dump sheep causing people to repeat history over and over


Technical analysis based on market trends, yeah you can call it trend analysis.
However, TAs always different depends on who made it up, since bitcoin tends to repeat the cycle happened before, the history may repeat over again.
It does affect people's decision, but we have the bigger picture here, bitcoin will rise towards halving and every dip is a chance to buy more.
474  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Went Crazy On 12/11/2019 ! on: November 15, 2019, 05:06:35 PM
Yeah, it's normal in the bitcoin market.
If bitcoin price suddenly spikes up to $1000 within minutes, then drop $2000 in the next hour, that's something crazy for the current market. It happened a few times but takes a few hours to raise $1000 and takes longer to drop as much $2000. The only reason it happens because something big is coming, whether a good thing or a bad thing for the community.
475  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Prediction 2020 - 2021 on: November 13, 2019, 05:45:59 PM
2. As it dropped fast - as it should bounce fast to retest lost $6000 level and log trend at around 10000-20000. 2019-2020 AD.
3. Then it should fall back to ~6000 support. This should happen up to 2020 AD.

I think that we gonna see the ~6000 Support in the coming days or weeks.

Some people did speculate bitcoin will drop to $6000 by December.
However, many others speculate the opposite way, bitcoin to $10,000 by the end of the year.
Let's see the probability for bitcoin to fall or rise, TAs that mentioned bitcoin more likely to rise then fall seems has a bigger chance to happens.
In this case, I believe bitcoin will stay above $8000 for weeks.
476  Economy / Economics / Re: Where's my free money? on: November 12, 2019, 11:30:20 PM
Many people hurry up for investing after John McAffe recommended with altcoin for investing, never have in their mind with last coins prediction by him, have raise success with higher price or down. Right now I can't trust any one else give prediction with bitcoin and altcoin price, I think looking with exchange update is most important to know which one coin will get raise up.

Bitcoin surely will rise up to $10K, $20K, without any doubt.
Even people who have bought bitcoin at the ATH will make profits if they are patiently waiting for bitcoin to reach new ATH in the next year.
Just look at exchange price doesn't mean you'll know which one will rise, it's based on the fundamental of a coin, some have good potential while most of alts will be left behind when bitcoin in bulls run.

OP, I hope it is your own work..  Huh  In any way, I gave you 1 merit for posting it, because it adds a lot of brag material for my collection.  Wink I

specifically liked the the "buying $10/mo graph, showing your 595% gain, because it puts a lot of stuff in perspective for me. I had a hard time with

people telling me that we are cherry picking dates to suit our agenda and this blows that crap out of the water.  Wink Keep up the good work, no

NO, it's not his (I assume)
he has shared the link where it started; unless he's someone who works for coinbase.

"On Sep. 24, 2019, over 820,000 unique addresses transacted bitcoin on the network."
"Americans typed “Bitcoin” into Google more times in 2018 than they searched for a range of headline-making phrases, from “royal wedding” to “election results.”"

After 10 years we have been able to make the governments afraid of this decentralized system giving back the real power to citizens.10 Years is short. And they now see it as a real threat to fiat, that's why we're seeing them creating in hurry all kinds of (sometimes senseless) regulations.

Governments aren't afraid of the decentralized bitcoin system, regulate to make sure people don't defraud others, trying to do something illegal such as money laundering, even though we don't like the taxes. Nevertheless, the positive example happens in Japan, government doesn't consider bitcoin as a threat to fiat instead allows it to be used like JPĄ.

I really like this, who want to mess around with bitcoin chain Cheesy
479  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy every dip! on: November 12, 2019, 10:12:39 AM
I think it is not yet time to buy and it will go much lower between the range of 8200- 8400 value and as of today 24hr low currently 8600 so it might go down and probably bounced back to $10k and that's a huge profit.

And it would be best to take advantage of the market crisis than cry later and no profit at all.

It was around $5000 when OP mentioned buying bitcoin, but the idea to buy at every dip isn't changed.
There is a probability that bitcoin may drop to $8500, but I doubt it will fall below it.
$10K isn't the target as bitcoin has the potential to go beyond $20K in the next year, so just buy whenever you think it's plausible.
480  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think that cryptos such as Bitcoin would be mainstream? on: November 12, 2019, 03:51:48 AM
Bitcoin or ethereum doesn't have the capabilities to become the mainstream.
People don't want to wait several minutes for a transaction confirmed nor have to spend a dollar as a few for direct transactions, it's clearly not for most people who believe in cash as the main means of payment.
