461  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KYC at end of bounty campaign on: April 06, 2018, 07:13:21 AM
Kyc at the end of bounty campaign is not that good I think, it should be included in the rules at once so the bounty hunters are informed already before they join the campaign. I have known few people that they cannot pass the kyc because they do not have valid documents required for kyc, if these people knew from the very beginning that the campaign does have kyc then of course they would not participate and their time and effort wouldn't get wasted. Personally I do not have problem with kyc at the end of the campaign as I have my valid and acceptable documents for it.
True, I have participated in a campaign that requires KYC before I can get my token. It had been months and until now, I cannot claim it because my documents are being rejected. If they will require KYC, they should have informed us in the beginning so we will not be disappointed in the end. Participants are paying hard work and doing their best to comply with requirements, I hope that your suggestion be implemented so people will not be having hard time thinking about KYC.
462  Economy / Speculation / Re: Holding will be a risk or not?? on: April 06, 2018, 06:12:50 AM
As indicated by predictions bitcoin should have achieved 15k$ by end of 2017 and fall in first week of jan 2018

In any case, shockingly its effectively reached 17k$ in 2017.

Should I purchase or hold my btc?I don't plan to sell at any point in the near future.
for now hold back will not be harmful, because bitcoin prices are down, and it is now time to hold or if the tone still have the capital can buy to get more profit from what you spend
We keep on holding but because the price continue to drops, we get worried about it. Holding definitely possesses a big risk because you will depend the future value of your investments in the market prices. We have a very volatile market and the value of our investments is proportional to this so don't ever think that holding is that easy. No one likes the feeling that he get whenever he sees the content of his portfolio in red. It is normal to get worried but make sure not to get affected that much, deal with the loss and think how you are going to remove that. Volatility is not always about low prices, it also mean that there is a room for price growth.
463  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Still HODLing? There must be better way! on: April 06, 2018, 05:10:52 AM
For now, I'm still holding. I'm currently studying short term trading. I want to earn more for the meantime because my portfolio keeps on falling down. I will just hold the coins which I currently have and will add more coins for short term or day trading.
To be honest, short term trading and even day trading is also not profitable at this time. The prices keeps on going down and no one knows when it will recover. People are getting impatient of holding but it is the best thing to do for now especially if you are one of those who have invested when prices are still high. Looking at the price chart and finding it red most of the time is stressful, this is definitely what volatile means. We can't always have high prices all the time, the market also have to move down to balance the demand and supply. Learn how to wait, have faith and wait for the investors to flood ( or be one of them) because they will surely be active at very dumped prices.
464  Economy / Economics / Re: DON'T DO PANIC SELLING !!! on: April 06, 2018, 03:13:32 AM
This is always a thing that should be remembered whenever the market value of Bitcoin is falling. Selling will just cut their possible profit permanently which is something that investors are avoiding to happen. Holding is always necessary espeially at moments where volatility is really observable in able to esrn profit one it stabilizes and starts to rise.
But not everyone seems to understand how holding is important. The cryptos are on dump since January and that is also how long we have been reminding each other to continue holding as long as we can. Since you decided to take the risk, you should know the downsides of having a volatile market so you will not be shock of whatever might happen. Not understanding how volatile the crypto market is will stressed you out easily and you might just end up having weak hands for holding.

Mid-year is coming, might as well hold because prices are likely to start going up by this time.
465  Economy / Economics / Re: How many people in the world know about bitcoin? on: April 05, 2018, 11:56:11 PM
I don't know if there is a statistics for the number of people who knows bitcoin already.  What I am sure of,  is that many have heard about it.  There are many advertisements flooding the social medias plus the news about cryptos everywhere.  Anyways,  the number that I would like to know is the number of users because it is more relevant than the first one but I think it is impossible to get that because users like the anonymity that cryptos are giving them. I doubt if people will actively participate if someone decided to get the statistics of bitcoin earners and enthusiasts.
466  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What happen with ETH Price ? on: April 05, 2018, 11:01:26 PM
is not to worry, because although the price of ETH is influenced by BTC, it does not cause as much loss and tends to stabilize more than bitcoin and can be used as an alternative to protect value

many are worried about eth values that have drastically decreased, but they are not a problem and not a big loss. so I think it's a regular cycle that happens in cryptocurrency.
It is understandable that we also worry about the price of ETH because next to bitcoin,  ETH is also a good investment. In fact,  it acts as an alternative for selling if ever BTC price is on dump.  There are times that when BTC price falls,  ETH is high but at this time,  we are in a big dump that all of the coins in the market goes down with BTC.  It looks stressful but we should continue to hold,  as a trader it will be shameful to know that you lose profit by panic selling than you lose profit because of holding.  
467  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: As a beginner is it too late ? on: April 05, 2018, 09:10:59 PM
In my opinion to start bitcoin for beginner research will be very helpful. For beginner's learn and understand about bitcoin is very essential. If you complete those steps i don't think it is too late to start bitcoin now.


For me, its not too late yet as long as you already started in bitcoin. But always remember that if you want something dont just stick on what you have/know. Being always a learner is a good thing, dont stop on exploring the cryptocurrency world, because soon you will become successful in this field. Also grab this opportunity that the price is too low because soon it will become more profitable.
468  Economy / Speculation / Re: panic or to be calm on: April 05, 2018, 08:07:15 PM
the more days the bitcoin price slumps down, how do you think, whether the price will stabilize or it will keep falling down ,, seems like I'm getting scared Angry

I prefer to be calm than panic because if you panic then sell the assets you have at a low price it will only make you get a lot of losses, just wait until the price back up and patience is your key.
after the decline in bitcoin prices below $ 10k, I am not so panicked at the price of bitcoin. well, we should know that soon there will be a considerable increase (for those who believe). well, so keeping calm is the only way we can make no mistake.

Well panicking will never give you a good result to your life. Just become positive that soon it will rise again.Hold your bitcoin until it increases because you might regret if you sell it at this price.

Being positive will always leads you to the right way in life. Bitcoin is like a person that is so important to you, when you encounter some challenges, will you give up on it or you'll be calm and become positive that soon everything will fall into their right places. We cannot predict what will come to your life to test your faith but always take that everything has its reasons ,just keep on holding on.

So be one of them that never give up on what they have, just stay calm maybe tomorrow it will rise too high again.
469  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin as your main income? on: April 05, 2018, 03:03:39 PM
Bitcoin is a currency. Bitcoin is a solution to many problems. Bitcoin is bringing questions and new problems to this world.
Some people find this as a ride to boost your income, not specifically Bitcoin but also the whole crypto market.
I think it's a great thing! But what are you actually looking for? Bitcoin itself (the currency) might not be your solution.
If you want to "conquer" the world, you can't do it with Bitcoin. Like you can't conquer the world with the dollar itself.
You need to focus the technology. The blockchain along with it, bringing a new economy generation with freedom and decentralization.
It's something that should be written a new bible about in my opinion. Before you learn Bitcoin, learn economy. Once you master this skill, own Bitcoin as one of your cards.

I would like to hear some of your opinions and hear some smart words because I believe people think investing Bitcoin will make their life done financially but I honestly think it's not true.

I think that bitcoin is one of the source of income nowadays. Basically, the needs of every people to save their life and to earn a lot is their own self. Theyt need to be industrious and wise in every job that they have. yes, bitcoin can help them but they also need a decent job that they really want because it is still different that you work because you love. Not working because you only need a money.





For me bitcoin is not my main income because i have a regular job.bitcoin is very helpful for me because i can get a extra money by joining a campaign and i heard many times bitcoin is very help us and some people become rich.

Signature campaign may be the main income to those who are still studying.
But for me, as a degree holder bitcoin can't be my main income because its not stable, whenever there is an emergency you cant easily sell your bitcoin if the value is to low. It will be an extra income to secure our future.

So in order to avoid the shortage of cash/money we can just look for a stable job with benefits, so that in case of emergency you have money for it.

All things much have a plan A and B so bitcoin is just ang extra to gain/make a lot of money.
470  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin loses its popularity ? on: April 05, 2018, 06:37:48 AM
Sure it is loosing , Just look at the bitcoin price today , lossing , loosing and loosing.
I don't think bitcoin loses its popularity it's just because it's very popular now and continues growing.It's just normal for the cryptocurrency to fluctuate it's price.

In my opinion, Bitcoin dont loses its popularity, why? Simply because some investors are just starting to invest in bitcoin, they are just starting to make a lot of money with bitcoin. Actually my understanding in altcoins is not that deep because my family and friends are not using altcoin instead of bitcoin.

Bitcoin is now part of our family and were encouraging our relatives to invest here because it will be a big help for them to finance/support the educational expenses of their children.

Lastly, if other people will share their knowledge and encourage other people to enter the cyrptocurrency world it will become more popular even to those amall people in a community and willnever  loses its popularity.
471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: April 05, 2018, 04:26:38 AM
I don't think so in gambling games for me it is everything about luck, maybe some short time of time you will have luck, win something and make some money, but in long period of time  i don't think so, you can start losing and you can't live from gambling  Tongue

I can say this is true. The gambling depends heavily on luck and luck does not give you the assurance that you will always get it. You'll get lucky once in a while, but you will not always be lucky. So if in the short term, gambling can be profitable, but in the long run it can not be unless your luck likes you.

Precisely, there is no way that gambling could be profitable in the long run, most of the gamblers are losing and it they are going to continue it then the amount of money that they are going to lose in the long run is so big more that they could ever imagine. Thinking what's the future awaits for you in gambling could help you to realize something good.

Yeah, I agree that gambling can not be profitable.
Even that possible outcomes is just between win or lose, we can never tell if we will win or lose. Wasting money in gambling is no assurance that your capital will be doubled.

As far as I remembered, I played throwing php 1 in a table that have lot a of squares on it. At first, its kinda enjoying I won 5 consecutively. But I didn't stop playing so at the end of the day I lose all the price I won even my budget in playing.

So i think in the long term, if you dont have discipline it will not become profitable. And we cant always rely on luck, because it is not guaranteed that will last.
472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Trading vs Gambling on: April 05, 2018, 02:49:29 AM
In gambling, you can directly know whether you have your profit or loses because of gambling no need to hold coin if you see that your profit was not there. Unlike when you are in trading you must have more time to monitor the price value of cryptocurrencies that you are in purchase to avoid big loss if ever. Trading is lower risk than gambling but it is almost like in gambling when you invested or trading another coin must have more skills in trading.

I agree that in trading is not too risky than gambling.

In trading you were the one who can control either you'll gain or lose, also in trading you can hold it until your target value. Trading can be more profitable if you'll take time to monitor the value, it has a lot of strategies you can apply in trading to become successful on it.

On the other hand, in gambling you only have two choice either you win or lose. You cannot wait for the perfect timing you are waiting for because in every game you have to put money, the probability of winning is kinda little. Also gambling sometimes , is if its your day you probably win but if not for sure you'll gonna lose everything you have.

Therefore, i choose trading instead of gambling.
473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If money would not be a problem, would you still gamble? on: April 04, 2018, 11:50:49 PM
I am just wondering if you still would gamble if you would have enough money? I mean, now as it is, do you gamble for the fun or for the profit?
Stil no. If money is nit my problem i will not use it in gambling to satisfy me or entertain me. I would be more satisfied and happy if i use my money to help others. Giving is more satisfying and gives us more happiness than being selfish and just think of our own personal well being.

 Also I would still say no. Even money is not an issue anymore. There's a group of people, they name the group "helping hands" who have enough money but they do not gamble. Instead they help those people/kids that wanting to finishing theirs studies but lack of financial.

So for me instead of wasting money in gambling I rather spend it in helping other people who are in need. Because
seeing them in teary eye when they also achieve their dream makes me feel that its all worth it. Spending money to help other people gives you more happiness instead of sitting comfortable and playing in casino.
474  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: i am newbi so i am late or not to this field? on: April 04, 2018, 11:14:39 PM
If you are a newbie then for you the most suitable option is investing. Now is a very good time to buy. If you buy now Bitcoin then in 2-3 years will be able to sell it many times more expensive.

Welcome to the world of cryptocurrency.
Your not late in this field, you just miss the time that the
bitcoin prices becomes too high that will become more profitable.

You still have time to become successful in this field. Grab the opportunity that the price is still low, buy as much as you can  so that when the price becomes too high you'll have more profit from it.

Also you can read some of the discussion, watch videos to gain more knowledge in this field, always strive for something new. Don't just seat back and wait until the price gets high, try to become smart in this field, and look for strategies that other did to become successful.
475  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can maths help you win in gambling ? on: April 04, 2018, 11:53:13 AM
Sometimes it help in some games at casinos as long as you follow thr rule but most of the time its luck and it is always true in casino games it is usually govern with ones luck.

For me, math can help you in gambling. Why? Because the possible outcomes are computed or I may say predicted. Just like the dice, cards have already possible outcomes. It can gives what is the probability in winning or losing in some games offered in casino.
Also i think math can help you in gambling in analysis if your playing, it also helps you in a way how you plan your strategy using math approach.

476  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: April 04, 2018, 08:31:06 AM
I think in the presence of bitcoin will reduce unemployment, because searching for bitcoin also requires hard work and creativity, and competitiveness in bitcoin is also high almost similar to work in the real world

What is your opinion this time?

I agree, like for joining bounty/signature campaign, you have to work for it in terms of thinking and sharing of ideas about Bitcoin, and of course just like employee you will receive salary in return as well.

Well I agree in your opinion, Bitcoin is not just for those who have capital to invest, but also it allows people that are unemployed to work on something that they can receive money just like a salary for those who are employed. The best example here is the signature campaign where they can show or express their ideas to each statement they choose to answer.

Normally unemployed people are those dont take life seriously but through bitcoin it may change. We all know that their are the one that is always online and just holding their phone everyday,also they have a lot of time  to finish the task that they are required to meet for the campaign. Atleast from bitcoin helps them continue life and may give knowledge in dealing online business.

Also if they will take time to read all the discussion here they may strive more to become investor in bitcoin.
477  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: finish college or keep playing bitcoin? on: April 04, 2018, 07:06:42 AM
The way you stated your statement makes it sound like bitcoin is something people plays with to enjoy. Change the way you think and then decide what you want to do. You can study and trade bitcoins during your leisure period. As long as its not hampering your studies you can continue to do so.

I agree with you that the statement is kinda harsh if someone read this who is taking bitcoin seriously will be upset. Bitcoin is not a game it can helps you a lot to change your life.

Finishing your degree is kinda great feeling for you and to your family, its an achievement that no money can buy. Actually I finish my degree to have a stable, safe and sure source of income for my children in the near future. Even bitcoin introduce to me, it never change my mind just to stick on bitcoin.

Bachelor Degree and Bitcoin has its  important meaning  in my life.

Having a Bachelor Degree is an stepping stone to aim high and dream big to make your future ready for the next journey to have to face. With this you can reach your dream like building a Skyscraper, working on the most popular company in the field of construction, being part of a project/dream that is so impossible but you make it possible in real life. Bachelor Degree is not just about money its your passion, your happiness and will show who you really are, and will make you feel complete.

Bitcoin for me is the perfect investment for now that it is really popular in the whole world. Grabbing this  opportunity to increase my savings will be a big help to me and my family. Bitcoin price is not stable so it is more profitable when you invest high amount.

So for me it is more important to finish their study while you still have time to do it.
478  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: job and trading together.. on: April 04, 2018, 05:31:20 AM
I think it can be done. Well, sometimes work does not take a lot of busy time. So all of us can do both job and trading together just you know how to handle your time right time management is a must. And crypto trading is a risky business so it is good to have daily job.

I agree that it can be done. Actually, a lot of people doing it now trading while working. Through their job they can increase their capital in trading.

Someone told me that trading is not that easy, it takes a lot of time in order to monitor the trading value. But if you were the person that is really good in managing your time,well i know soon you'll become successful in the field of trading.

One strategy here in trading while working is set a time that you need to monitor your trading then after back to work. Trading value is not stable, so it is really important to have a job.
479  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to start trading with a very small amount on: April 04, 2018, 04:30:18 AM
Trading with small amount is effective, when your profit expectation is low. With small amount profits will be low, so need to learn with small amount and gradually need to increase the trading value. This helps get good profit than simply going for big amounts and ending in loss.


Most of the time, the student/unemployed are those who start trading at a very small amount due to limited capital. In small amount you can have experience in trading, and can still have a profit from it.

Sometimes small amount have advantage in big amount if you strive harder to make it big. It is more easy to take risk because its a small amount but soon if you will just hold it until the trading value increases it can be a big amount.


480  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Investing all my savings! on: April 03, 2018, 11:42:30 PM
Even if I have a good savings I will never invest all my savings at single place especially in bitcoin as price involves high volatility which can make or break my investments so I will invest only a part of it in bitcoin and rest either I will invest in real world or simply keep in bank account so that it can be helpful for me at the time of emergencies.
Yes everything you said are rights except one thing, if you're the kind of people that go big ,you'll absolutely invest everything in your trust, your best option right ? Because you saw it so much potiental and could changed your life into a better way.
It's risky yes but it's the perfect fit with people who have the dare to go with it because the profits it brings back is insane and could make everyone who made the right choice becoming rich.

I agree with you, investing all the savings you have is kinda risky but take a look at it for now it is the best choice you can have if your really aiming for something that can change your life.To become successful you have to become smart,alert and openminded. If you invest a large amount of money of course in return you'll have a large amount of profit to.

But investing all your savings is a big responsibility, so you have to be careful in investing and when the trading is not good you better just hold it until the price is arising again.

An Engineer friend of mine invest all her savings when her brother encourage her to invest in bitcoin. Evertime she have her salary nothings left because she help her family, pay the rentals of the staff house, and a lot of more. So she start to invest in bitcoin and she's happy now that her investment is really profitable. Also every salary she gets, she put some of it in her account to increase her investment.

So if I were you, dreaming to become a millionaire in the future be brave to take risk all your saving.
