4661  Local / Le Bitcoin et la loi / Re: Le droit des investisseurs dans une ICO on: March 26, 2019, 08:20:29 PM
J'ai jamais vu un ICO qui deliverait un contrat entre les 2 parties, j'aimerais bien en lire un pour voir
C'est une bonne video même si finalement il ne parle pas de droits des investisseurs dans une ICO, (je sais pourquoi, il n'y en a pas) il suggere juste un cadre juridique commun à l union europeenne. Faudrait pas non plus penser que les gens pourrait etre protéger au même titre que la garantie de l'Etat sur les comptes bancaire. Même reguler ca ne le sera jamais.

Ensuite, je pense qu'il fait reference surtout aux ICOs lancés par des rélles entreprises qui utilisent cette forme pour lever des fonds. La tendance est plutot à l 'inverse en fait. Les entreprises preferent finalement utiliser les anciennes methodes et commencent à abandonner le modele des ICOs.

Is the IBAN starting with letters other than the country acronym? A possibility is that you were trying to use the IBAN from a banking service (or neobank) that rely on a Banking as a Service platform.

Normally an IBAN number begins with the first 2 letters of the issuing bank's country. But with the arrival of payment accounts/neobanks that use a BaaS, IBANs can also start with other letters, for example neobanks that use Trezoor all have their IBAN starting with TRZ (which doesn't belong to a country). The thing is some systems are not coded to accept these letters.

Again today BTC failed below the $4,000 that's suck 👎
I hope it doesn't last all week, I thought the $4,000 limit shouldn't be crossed again, to show how Bitcoin can resist. What we would need is lot of cash injected on the market, we could see how Bitcoin reacts, it would set the tone for the rest of the year.

4664  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What today you can buy for the crypto? on: March 26, 2019, 11:20:27 AM
I had read that Countries like Japan and Russia have embraced Bitcoin with full support, wherein Japan has over 200,000 food outlets accepting Bitcoin and Russia is expecting to have its own national cryptocurrency.

Also, Microsoft, which needs no introduction, lets you use BTC to deposit funds into your Microsoft account. You can purchase apps, movies, XBOX, etc. Microsoft lets you know how to use bitcoins for purchases.

https://coinswitch.co/news/top-25-websites-and-businesses-that-accept-bitcoins-in-2019

If Russia creates its own currency, how does it mean Russia has embraced Bitcoin. If it was really the case the country would have adopted it directly or at least accepted it, through regulations if necessary.
What I know is Russia is far to embrace BTC. Central Bank of Russia Plans on Limiting Cryptocurrency Trading. It's only goal is to  have a crytptocurrency could be useful to carry out “sensitive activity on behalf of the state

Even the smallest things in daily needs, I sell automated loads for cellular phones via Coins here in the our country. Real time exchange between BTC and our local money. Not only that I also pay some bills (broadband internet, electric, water etc.) Cool right? So much to do with BTC, soon I will accept payments on my our businesses' page through BTC also.

That's what I call using BTC truly as a currency, you're lucky I would like to be able to have the same use. Unfortunately I have to convert to fiat sooner or later, or to buy gift cards, or stuff on the web like servers or domain names. At a time I used Purse.io to buy items on Amazon since I'm a regular shopper but I stopped I don't want to end with an item purchased with stolen CC or whatever. And there is not really an alternative to it.
4665  Bitcoin / Press / [2019-03-26] Bitcoin is Nothing More Than ‘Bovine Excrement’ on: March 26, 2019, 10:59:24 AM
"...Move over, Jamie Dimon, because there’s a new contender for the coveted title of “king bear of the bitcoin-bashing brigade”: technologist Nicholas Weaver..."

"...So what happened when the cryptocurrencies first came out in 2010 and 2011 is most people who looked at it with technical understanding went, “Oh, this is bovine excrement, and walked away.”...

"...Why is bitcoin just bovine excrement? Because while it might use cryptography, it utterly fails as a currency, leaving proponents with “very few non-criminal uses...”

I had a good laugh reading the title of the article.
His main arguments are about bitcoin’s immutability, the difficulty for the average Joe to securely hold your coins, difficulty to spend. I wonder if he really looked at it, isn't BTC enough user-friendly. However there is a point I agree with.

Quote
“The dirty little secret is the merchants who say they accept cryptocurrency…aren’t actually accepting cryptocurrency,” he said, noting that they instead use third-party conversion services such as BitPay or Coinbase Commerce
That's true for a lot of merchants, especially the medium and big ones.
4666  Economy / Speculation / Re: Lightning Network will help bitcoin`s price reach 6,000 USD in November on: March 25, 2019, 12:34:39 PM
I'm not sure the Lightning Network will (drastically or not) increase the price.
People will not bother reading about what LN brings to Bitcoin, they will not understand it and they will not feel concerned, like what happened with SegWit. (I am talking about people who aren't yet a crypto user) Also not everyone will want to use LN, whatever reason they have.

This does not prevent the price from reaching $6,000 as the OP expects and there is a good chance that this will happen, but it will happen without LN. Sure we will surely notice a boost from some days but nothing spectacular to expect.
4667  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be a volatile investment tool and payment method at the same time? on: March 25, 2019, 11:36:04 AM
What about if the Bitcoin's value stays stable (let's say $5,000 with some ups/down of ~$150 which will still be volatile but wouldn't be considered a lot.) Similar to how gold is considered.

So I would think that yes Bitcoin can be an investment, a safe haven like gold is, maybe a reason why people call Bitcoin the digital gold. And it can slo be a payment method, again, like when gold was the only currency.

Fiat currencies are also volatile but that doesn't prevent anyone from using it.
4668  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do if the Bitcoin Sending Fee will be super high or super low? on: March 25, 2019, 11:15:45 AM
Nah,@OP is looking to know how he can know in advance what will be the fees if he needs to make a transaction from his/her Blockchain. com wallet.
He wants to know what influence the BTC fees and if there is an application that let you know the current fees needed in real time. That's it

@OP
You can use the link posted by @jseverson and @cryptjh but I suppose you wallet provider suggests the fee when you finalize a transaction.
4669  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the bearish road over? on: March 25, 2019, 10:59:15 AM
Once BTC bounced on the 5.500 € line in February 2018, it took it 10 months to break the support line and collapse even further. I think that this new 3.000 € line would be even harder to break. In that case the time would be enough for the general feeling to turn around and start being optimistic and bullish.

BTC and ETH (together making up a 60% of the market cap) have, for 1,5 month now, a slight but steady uptrend movement. Unlike those steap bouncing up correction movements.

LTC at the side is clearly bullish.



I'm going to wait at least 6 months to find out which foot Bitcoin is dancing on. I will consider all the other movements as just temporary (including the recent small rise). The market is too uncertain at the moment to know which direction it will take. I have also stopped comparing with the old values, which no longer allows us to have a vision for the coming months.

Every situation is possible. If the recent rise contines slowly as it is no doubt  it will create the optimism from people
4670  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the global currency cannot be 100% internet based and if we will have one on: March 25, 2019, 10:46:39 AM
A global currency can't be based on internet 100%, otherwise it's a currency that will never be mass adopted. Personaly I also don't want to be a 24/7 connected guys to have a payment mean. Without even considering the millions of people who don't have an internet access

It has nothing to do with taxes, fees or similar and you shouldn't care about. You're not living on collected taxes,fees, banks do but that's no more your and our business. If we won't have exchanges taxes, don't worry the governments will surely find a new tax to replace it.

BTW what's the stand of everyone here on verifying ownership via Social Media accounts? Too weak?

With some social media platforms you can re-register an username that was already used previously. Like some email providers recycle the old email IDs (i.e. outlook). I wouldn' rely on that at 100%.
Not to mention the possibility of having access to the social media account (why not using a re-registered email?...)
4672  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-03-24]Bank of Italy Calls Bitcoin Useless, Risky and Inefficient on: March 24, 2019, 10:10:21 PM
Lately a publication of the European Central Bank estimated the BTC transactions related to illegal activity at 4%. And this figure still seems quite close because it is true that the trend is no longer to use Bitcoin for dubious activities, but rather privacy coins. Why the Central Bank of Italy isn't happy, as it says.
Is it happy with how its currency is being used on a larger scale by the Italian mafia that corrupts public markets and companies? Isn't there a bigger effort to be made on this side? Or they're afraid
4673  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Visa/MasterCard supported Bitcoin or crypto on: March 24, 2019, 09:38:55 PM
...
You do not need a credit card if you know how to use bitcoin. It can be done, I cut up my cards in 2012 and have not looked back.

most people do already know how to use bitcoin but why they still have credit cards ? when you cash out , you will be using banks and you need credit cards to withdrew that money  .  sure you can use other cash out method but credit cards cash out are still easy and less hassel than others . too bad you already cut out you credit card  , i feel sorry for your loss .

I have suffered no loss. Because of bitcoin I simply do not need credit anymore and have learned what a suckers game borrowing is. So I don't cash out or pay bank fees or credit-card fees or risk my identity, I buy it with bitcoin. No matter if the purchase is a house or a light bulb.   

How are you paying for your daily needs or your bills?. You are surely not paying them with BTC directly. I know there is/are application(s) like Paytomat, offline users pay merchands with BTC and altcoins using the app. That you use such application or use a btc card, you are still using a 3rd party
4674  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Literatus.org - blogging platform where authors earn [Bitcoin accepted here] on: March 24, 2019, 09:14:38 PM
Huh, I really like the concept of this and I'm pretty tempted to join actually, even if it's just for fun.
I don't see people earning huge amounts with it yet, I mean you best sellers have earned only $0.10 - $0.25 per article, but it's neat nonetheless.

I'm a big fan of the overall design as well, looks incredibly clean and easy to read.

True that, for the internal pages, I was felling like in Medium.com, comfortable to read articles, but the home page should absolutely be improved, at least to attract readers, otherwise you will have writters but nobody to read their articles, so they won't waste more time to write original articles that don't generate them any income (as small as it is)

That being said, I still like the idea, good luck @prayer0000
4675  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: How to test 24 words on: March 24, 2019, 08:55:28 PM
Ledger Nano has an application to test the seed recovery phrase

- Plug your Ledger Nano and open Ledger Live.
- Go to the "manager" section in the menu and install the "recovery check" app
- On the device open the recovery check app and select "Start check"
- Enter your recovery phrase
- If it's ok the devide will display a message saying “Recovery phrase matches“

That's all
4676  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin up to 4100$ on: March 24, 2019, 08:24:05 PM
Certainly the value of Bitcoin has increased a little bit but it should not go back below $4,000. It could at least prove that Bitcoin has the potential to go up and that it's not "dead" after all. It would even be better if he could reach $4,500 at the end of April to show its resistance. Currently it's still a fragile situation.
Better than nothing recently but not so impressive in my opinion.
4677  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Roger Ver owning Bitcoin.com on: March 24, 2019, 03:57:56 PM
Roger Ver is more like an entrepreneur who wanted to get involved in Bitcoin. (If I am correct he is also one of the investors behind the Digital Currency Group).Then when he started having differences of opinion, he started screwing up.

When he bought this domain name, it was with the idea of fooling people into thinking that bitcoin cash is the real Bitcoin. When you go to their site they even have video tutorials to explain to newbies, and they really explain to them that Bitcoin cash is the real Bitcoin. I'm also as certain that he's the one behind the @Bitcoin twitter account to apply his questionable methods.

According to posts from some members it seemed to me that Leopay was not a crypto friendly payment account. I wonder if I confused with LeuPay. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1810594.0;all
@Guglevois
While searching, I found this paragraph directly from their site. So I don't think it's a problem, you can still do some tests with not very large amounts, like $10 the first time, etc.

This is where LeuPay comes in. Unlike many traditional banks with an old-world view of finance, LeuPay is embracing the currencies of tomorrow by granting customers the option to freely transfer money to and from crypto currency trading platforms today.

With the ability to offer unique IBANs across multiple currencies as well as a quick and secure method of transfer, LeuPay allows its customers to interact with a host of digital currency trading platforms.

4679  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is there some new methods for earning bitcoins? on: March 24, 2019, 03:18:26 PM
"How to earn free bitcoins" is the same as "How to make free money online". So why not searching on the web how to make money and convert your dollars to BTC, or use something that paid straigh BTC.
There are methods that everyone can follow and there are some that may need to bit of knowledge but you can earn frelly on the web. You can make a blog and earn from affiliates commissions, PPC,CPM,CPA. It takes a lof of time but in the long run it will pay out.
Freelancers websites are the place where you can sell your service for some bucks. I know there are people making a decent income monthly using it, Of course you have to be good.

Check out the Beginers and Help section, someone collected a list of methods/websites where people can make some cash during their spare time.
4680  Economy / Economics / Re: KakaoTalk to integrate a cryptocurrency wallet on app on: March 24, 2019, 03:00:02 PM
As the article says, nothing has been decided yet, this is just an idea. There is a lot of time between the idea and the launch. And we are not immune to seeing a company coin which will have maybe nothing cryptographic, just a random token. If the company isn't dealing with the existing cryptos (BTC, ETH,etc) and prefer to create its own then there is nothing usefull in term of "adoption".
