4701  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are there still hope for the altcoins on: June 05, 2018, 08:53:14 AM
So are all altcoins are dying or there will be no hope for new projects..? the market is now so bad...
There always be hope for new projects to growth in the future. I suggest you to never take anything bad in the crypto just like a clue of the crypto will end. Sounds you are pessimistic about the future of cryptocurrency itself.

This time looks the market is trying to recover its price from big bearish trend and how ethereum already surpassed $400 again.

This not so bad as you said dude.

We've been reading a lot about DYING, ICO IS DEAD, MARKET IS SO BAD etc.etc.  Market is VOLATILE, anything can happened at any given time in the market trading, market correct itself or recover after the drops/glitz, then stabilized...i hope people understand the market movement in every trading, market price value of such crypto currency may drop or goes up to the roof, it is always dependent on the volume of investment that investors participated in on said project coin. if the crypto coin they choose is also attracted to other investors then we can see the volume of investment comes in. yes, HOPE the only thing we have in crypto trading market.so HOLD ON AND HOPE FOR THE BEST of your crypto coins.
4702  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO investment is dead? on: June 05, 2018, 08:39:54 AM
Most of the projects are fraud thus decline in the participation.People are afraid to invest even in good projects now.

Most of the projects have now switched to private ICO,  like IOST.
They kept the ICO private and was invitation only.So serious projects can still roll.

What a question? ICO don't die, it may closed some account, with non performing asset after its ICO, campaign project did not attract investors to come in, fundamentals are weak, no support system, this are some possible reason to closed such account. Beside a lot of investors are already committed to some good project, with good fundamentals, increasing market value on the market trading of ALT coin they invested in. i would rather stick to my investment then wait for future profits.
4703  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 500$ investment on altcoin on: June 05, 2018, 08:29:13 AM
I would recommend you go for Steem and zilliqa

Do your homework, learn more about crypto currency market trading, Investment in ALT coin is individual decision, we don't want to be blame if something happened with your investment, you have 500$ for possible investment, that is also the amount risk  of you are about  to take. Learn more about the crypto trading market, market price movement, fundamentals, stability and a lot more.
4704  Economy / Economics / Re: What will happen to bitcoin? on: June 04, 2018, 04:21:16 AM
Bitcoin at the present time resembles as a bubble.Once it goes up, it immediately pops out.  It is normal that the price of bitcoin gets down but it's been a long time since it is on its original value or higher than its real value. Those who invest these past few months are suffering a lot of loaaes and they are losing hope that bitcoin will continue to drastically decrease in value.  Do you have guys some advice for me? It will be really appreciated and I will be eternal grateful.
It's so early to say so. It's just a quarter past the ATH period. People feel so because price is always falling during this quarter. Time is longer when you're impatient. Some people think it will take at least a year for bitcoin to recover its price. So, be patient man.Smiley

I think that bitcoin is currently in the adjustment period where you can observe that the fluctuation is normal this time and by the time there is an increase, it has not yet surpass the $8K mark. However, I believe bitcoin will continue to last for many years and would further increase the price value in the coming years to come. This year could probably a start of a relevant increase in the last quarter of the year just like what happened in the last year where it almost reached at $20K USD mark. So, let us wait for the time being for the expected growth to happen within the coming months.

Nothing will happen to Bitcoin, and will be in the future trading market. After ICO launching in 2008 Bitcoin survive until today, yes, Bitcoin experience ups and down on the price value, it recovered, stabilized, with good fundamentals, with growing investors coming in, and a lot more just waiting for the right timing before they put in their investment, buying and selling on Bitcoin are very much active. It does show that this now the trend on trading market and will be here for the long period of time, it all depends on the volume of investment in the market. Relax and monitor your investment on Bitcoin.
4705  Economy / Economics / Re: So many cryptocurrencies ! on: June 04, 2018, 03:58:06 AM
The proliferation of cryptos and the attending increase of cryptocurrency exchanges go a long way to show that the crypto industry has come to stay. For those who fret, it's time to stop fretting. The market isn't going anywhere. Invest and exercise patience to reap the dividends of your investment.

Now, about the different number of cryptos getting listed, I like to say it's ok. What the heck! Don't we havev a great number of companies getting on the stock exchange annually? OP, have you heard that adage, "The more the merrier?" So should it be in cryptos too.

We have participated in crypto currency investment by either buying or selling in the trading market, we pick one coin for investment, project or even campaign, we should not worry about the New Crypto coin joining the trading market, yes, the more the merrier. It just indicate, that the evolution of digital transaction in the trading market of crypto is growing and a lot more participating into the project investment, this is good for the market.
4706  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 2018 will be the year of Altcoins exploding. on: June 03, 2018, 11:26:02 AM
I agree. The time to hodl was cheap only a couple months back. Now it's hard to get in the game without having the money to do so. Big gains are coming from alts that were in hodl mode. Now its all about the pump and ICO. A huge ICO wave is coming. Everyone is having FOMO and actually missing out on them because they are becoming so exclusive.

The bull run is everyone hope that will happened this 2018, For all the ALT coin in the market are looking forward for greater rewards, i would say, only a few would have an explosion of this ALT coin will, some indicator are only favors ALT coin in the top, some are not even moving after the said ICO posted on the market. Some, experts say's, that some of this crypto coin will disappeared in no time for lack of support mechanism in the trading market resulting to lack or fewer investment on the said project coin.
4707  Economy / Economics / Re: Factors that affects the value of bitcoin... on: June 03, 2018, 11:07:50 AM
according to my personal observations, the most affecting the price of bitcoin is the media, information.
if the media preach bad about bitcoin then bitcoin will go down. and vice versa.

That's correct. Tweets from famous people, leaked information, FUD (like the one about a ban in Korea). We're lacking real investigative journalism, one that doesn't follow news without confirming. Every crypto news site wants to be the first and publishes information based on hearsay and info copied from other sites.
People are so afraid of crypto being squashed by governments that they're overreacting every time FUD gets published. We are already in such a face of overreaction and mark my words, if BTC goes below 6000 USD it's going to be a parade of suicidal crybabies on the forum again.


The factors that would affect the price value of Bitcoin in the trading market are a lot more issues, like the issue on the Banned, Scammer, and the persistent issue on Regulation specifically just like what was in the news now, Indian Government just announce that they will look into the possible regulation of Bitcoin and imposed taxes on any transaction on it, stability on the price posted on market, level of confidence of the investors, and a lot more, good news or bad news, all of this might affect the Bitcoin price at any given time. last but not the least are the movement of investment.
4708  Economy / Economics / Re: The economics of free things. on: June 02, 2018, 02:00:01 PM
Day to day people don't have access to stocks or derivative markets for example, and that helps to increase the gap between the rich and the poor(which in turn requires the intervention of the aforementioned central authority).


First post and its a spam with nonsense. Way to go.

Economy of free things? What is the relationship of this topic to Bitcoin or crypto currency digital transaction? Ideology or not, it is none issue on Crypto currency Digital transaction. A decentralized digital transaction, no control from any government is never correlate to the supply and demand of commodities in which vital for one economy of every country. The nature of investment in BITCOIN or Crypto mainly touch the aspect of Buying and Selling of the said project with no involvement of basic commodities.
4709  Economy / Economics / Re: What happnes to BTC,if the oil price goes up? on: June 02, 2018, 01:09:36 PM
I do not see any directly connections between them, but, i think, if the potential investor will became richer or have more extra cash he will invest into btc, so price will go up, in theory ofc, and oil is limited resource like btc, but, it will end sooner or later.

In my opinion any price increase on Commodities like Oil has no direct impact on Bitcoin, Not unless, one or two Big Time investors had Huge invested in Bitcoin and the same manner also invested in oil product then sadden shift by pulling out the said investment from Bitcoin  then invest further to Oil product, it may affect somehow the price value of Bitcoin but only the fraction of point.
4710  Economy / Economics / Re: Is india going to uplift the ban on cryptocurrencies? on: June 01, 2018, 11:40:51 PM
So in short that is huge stress on the Indian peoples. They will be having GST plus extra 18% taxes on the crypto currency sounds very unfair. People will leave the crypto that way and indirectly it could be the ban of crypto currencies from the Indian territory. I mean just look at the whole scenario, the heavy taxes can be bad for those who are mining in the India and they will end up loosing all the profits in the taxes only. I think this will never happen as it is not in the public interest and there are huge number of people who does use the crypto currencies in the India. Or it could be the case that government want to take full advantage of the crypto enthusiast.

I will wait for more concrete information or wait until the Indian government implement such plan for higher taxes, I see, this just another form of Regulation, yes, it is unfair to the Crypto user in India and would have some effect on the Status of Bitcoin in the region, nevertheless, still, Bitcoin remains stable on the market trading, a lot more investor are coming in, and other are just waiting for the right timing when the price indicator is favorable to them for investment. 
4711  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What altcoin would you prefer to be paid in? on: June 01, 2018, 04:46:35 AM
For me I will choose to be paid in eth or btc because they are a bit more stable and have great potentials for future growth. I will not choose any other coin for payment except these two for now.

I would put in my investment to this two coins, Bitcoin and Ethereum, among all ALT coin in the market, this were the coins that have or greater potential in the market, first,Bitcoin and Ethereum was suffered a lot of issues on Banned,Scammer, and the Regulation by government financial institution on Digital Transaction. Yet, it remains in the market treed, yes, the price value goes down and goes up again, stable fundamentals, does, increase the level of confidence for this two coins. The global acceptance for crypto currency on digital transaction would determine the future of all ALT coins posted on the market.
4712  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it the best time to invest on ETH on: June 01, 2018, 12:26:37 AM
Ethereum price is now below 600$. Do you think it is the best time to buy Ethereum now ?
Yes. In my opinion, the price of ethereum is now very low almost close to $ 500, whether it will decrease or not, this is a good moment to buy it. Although there is no guarantee, I believe the ethereum will grow again and is good for long-term investments.

Yes, it is a good idea to put in your investment for Etherreum, Market is Volatile, but, we can not simply conclude that this is the bottom of Ethereum price on the market, it may goes down further or even rebound and goes up depending on the volume of investment in the trading market. Any investment either on the stock market or in crypto have the degree of risk to be consider. Price value of any coin can drops and goes up anytime during the market trading, the lesser investment, the lesser movement in the trading.
4713  Economy / Economics / Re: I almost lost my rock solid regular job because of crypto on: May 31, 2018, 10:07:29 PM
Maybe is because you lack time management if not I don't see the study of crypto currency related activities that will take you that much time to the turn of you been treating of your job.  

I feel sorry about what had happened to you, a second chance for accepting what you've been doing during your time at work which is none related to your day job. Yes, time management is what you need now, gathering or learning more all about the crypto currency, a market research, fundamentals, market stability would take time before we can understand this information specially fully.
4714  Economy / Economics / Re: The Crypto Apocalypse on: May 31, 2018, 02:09:35 AM
Apocalypse? Well, Bitcoin is moving around 7-9K for a while now, decreasing on the last days yes but nothing new in terms of volatility of the crypto market.



MARKET IS VOLATILE, anything can happened at any given time, patient is the key in this kind of market movement, if you look back this was already in the market preview on crypto market movement on the treed, Bitcoin was hit by a lot of issues like BANNED,SCAMMER, and NOW issues on REGULATION by the government who are looking into the current entry of crypto into the business community, all of this information affect the level of confidence of the investors, the lesser investment could result to either drops in the market price Bitcoin, but i am optimistic that market will correct itself soon. fundamental of Bitcoin is Still strong.this just a market movement at this time.Lets be patient.
4715  Economy / Economics / Re: How to manage the risk in investing cryptocurrency? on: May 30, 2018, 11:13:53 AM
People are not alike. If you generate a good and correct  plan for investing and then got real profit it means that you are good at currency market operations.

Every investment has the risk to be consider, the amount of investment vs.the amount of risk factor involved. In crypto market trading investment needs a lot of things or a lot of research on market price value, the fundamental, the stability of such project and the last consideration is the amount your are going to put in for crypto currency investment. All of this information need to be reviewed and make a final decision when the timing is favorable for investment after due consideration. Market is volatile.
4716  Economy / Economics / Re: Good news or bad news... on: May 29, 2018, 11:34:42 PM
on the one hand if for the economy certainly is very good news because their economy is becoming secure. But if for other countries it would be a bit of a limit of the policy.

 Wow, great news for crypto or Bitcoin investors. a bold move by high official of Japan from the financial business community looking into on what to set as a rules for digital transaction of Bitcoin, this clearly indicates that Bitcoin is accepted and with growing interest from Business community in different part of the world. Once the rules is clearly define, it will definitely accepted by Bitcoin investor and make such an adjustment on how they will actively participating in the market with such rules in mind and followed.
4717  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think "new" Alt coins & "Blockchain" based coins are good or bad for BTC? on: May 29, 2018, 11:02:55 PM
--snip--
As far as, would these corporate coins add some value or be good for Bitcoin, this analogy might be flawed, but IMO, corporate coins would just be an extension of their corporate shares. Yeah definitely, shares to a cryptocurrency, the whole use case changes and importantly accessibility. It has been reported that Facebook is planning to launch their cryptocurrency.

I have no idea how the structure of corporate coins would be, too centralized or borderline decentralized, but IMO even with all the data/privacy/censorship issues, a Facebook cryptocurrency will get adopted,

I do not agree with you that Crypto currencies would be perceived as a share by the customers. I would rather compare the Crypto currency to some discount voucher or loyalty program points, than to shares. The customers will trade the tokens, but they will not own a share in the company.
--snip--
Alright. Lets consider them for a moment. I can't see them as being shares or as loyalty points either. The use case will be different for different companies using such private blockchains. In case of facebook what could they possibly do?
People generate content on Facebook. A lot of it. Facebook has recently received a lot of flak for letting user data be used for commercial purposes without user consent. If Facebook launches a blockchain based token, it may be a method for them to incentivize users for allowing their data to be shared.  Say you have a few privacy settings and you get points every week on your facebook activity. The more private you make your account, your stakes get lowered and vice versa. This'll give them a good excuse to keep using the data while the people get something out of it.

Crypto currency is Digital transaction on buying and selling in the crypto world, the entry of any New ALT coin have no effect on Bitcoin, the fundamental are solid, stable market price value,globally adopted, do not have a share value at stake,and can not be consider like a stock share on the market, it has a different identity on the market, its a digital coin with each own quality to represent.




I don't think it'll be that great for bitcoin. You cannot expect a corporate like Facebook to care about decentralization or the economic paradigm shifting properties of Bitcoin. Mark Zuckerberg is a technologist himself but I guess, being a billionaire presiding over an empire does changes things. Those ideals get sidelined when you have are so well integrated with the system. Blockchain based products from such established corporations like Facebook or McDonald's may be a body blow to bitcoin. It is clear that the majority of users don't give a rat's ass about decentralization or any long term goals. All they care about is getting some dough.

You can expect the apathy to multiply manifold once such blockchains running on private servers gain acceptance. Most people will simply use them rather than try to explore the privacy and freedom related aspect of a truly trustless currency like bitcoin.


Last year, in Novemeber an article was published on Hackernoon titled, The Facebook Cryptocurrency that Mark Zuckerberg Should Launch. It was before Zuckerberg said that he was looking into Blockchain technology. One of the suggestions made by the author,

Quote
At some point, Facebook could link that supply of digital currency to the stockholders, so that the stockholders have stock as well as the currency, or Facebook could pay out the currency as a dividend. Even more extreme would be if Facebook gave the coin in proportional share to the stockholders and forgot about their stock altogether. Then, hypothetically, all users and shareholders would be joined together as the owners of Facebook, and any transaction economy that it creates.

Yeah, a bit absurd and considering the very centralized business model of corporations, definitely too far-fetched.

Apart from pre-mined, the article also mentions airdrops, Facebook launching their own exchange, buybacks, and a few hypothetical possibilities on how a big corporation like Facebook with more than 2 billion users could build their token economy and monetize it.

A couple of years ago, there were no decentralized alternatives to Facebook/Twitter, but we do have them now, although the userbase is too small. Decentralization is a paradigm shift, but the approach taken by most of the decentralized Blockchain projects to decentralize everything isn't going to show any immediate results, it's a slow process. Yeah, people who don't care about their data privacy, security would use centralized cryptocurrencies backed by the so called corporations, but those who care, now have the choice to use decentralized versions with absolute privacy and security, wouldn't they use it? And as more decentralized platforms targeting different sectors are built, more decentralized choices people are going to have, adoption will be slow, but ultimately there would be a parallel decentralized economy.

4718  Economy / Economics / Re: War on cryptocurrency! on: May 29, 2018, 03:31:48 AM
Governments of many countries are practically declaring war on cryptocurrencies.
Why is that?
What can we expect from the centralized government that doesn't want decentralized crypto? They are well aware of what crypto's can do to the economy and as early as it is now they are recognizing the power of what crypto's can do. They are trying their best to regulate or ban bitcoin/crypto to avoid future conflict when it comes to their interest even the convenience of the people investing there will be sacrificed. And there are few countries that even started their very own crypto but its a failure.

Crypto currency competition is never ending, and a lot more to come, the issue on Regulation by each government on the digital crypto currency trading on this country will be more visible since the level of acceptance still facing resistance, yet, the business community are now talking about this issue, i am optimistic that it will be resolved in no time. Bitcoin or digital transaction remains on the market with stable price market value as posted, yes, the market are volatile, but it is but normal in every trading market.
4719  Economy / Economics / Re: bank on australian allow customers to purchase cryptocurrencies on: May 28, 2018, 10:45:38 PM
Wow that's great news! Other countries will follow what Australia has done. I think Cryptocurrencies is very bullish in the next few months and years. Early adopters will be rich as hell. Countries who adopt early will be the next big thing.

Great news to the Crypto currency investor in this country. Any acceptance on Crypto currency transaction by the Banking institution is a great news and welcoming development for crypto investor, easy access to transact business with this bank regarding investment, buying and selling, or even trading on the market with the crypto currency. I am looking forward that another bank will follow thru, with the growing acceptance of crypto currency transaction globally, it increase the level of awareness  of digital transaction, which maybe have some influence to the future investor coming in.
4720  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin and Disable person on: May 28, 2018, 03:18:15 PM
Bitcoin is just a currency, it cannot help them.
Somehow if we'll look at a better picture, it depends on their disability. If they still have a good mindset, they have vision and hands to type or click the mouse and move its cursor.
It can help them, bitcoin today isn't just a currency. It's also a way to make money and treat it as an investment. When we say bitcoin, we are generalizing it as the whole market which they can do trading while just sitting at their homes.

Your question need a bit of elaboration.... One, not all person with disability can participate in Bitcoin investment, we can look into the level of their disability, like can read and write, the amount involve for such investment, the level of maturity of this person, and a lot more. Maybe your are only talking about person with disability with the certain person where the Disability happened or they become disable because of accident, resulting to have such limitation after this. Yes, this kind of person with disability can be more productive if they are supported by family or maybe the community.

 Yes, not all person with disability can participate in Bitcoin investment. we should qualify them to which they can be trained,help out, the level of participation in for investment, the amount involved, and a lot more should be more to consider. If we are talking of the person become disable after an accident and their only limitation is on the movement like walking with out the problem in any other physical capacity, i think this will be more beneficial to them to be more active and possibly earn from the Bitcoin profits.
