I too searched the company yesterday, since the OP said: "after seeing them flooded in a lot of crypto news aggregates and blogs."
I found only 2-3 articles Cheesy
Shouldn't we see more buzz about it? BTW the website payglobal.me is ugly, sorry to say it
4762  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you have a prediction? on: March 07, 2019, 08:34:54 PM
Next 2-3 years will be critical not just for bitcoin but for the whole crypto sphere.

I predicted that we will see another country fully adopted and legalize crypto like Japan did. Next 2-3 years specially after bitcoin block halving, we will see the price goes as high as $30k, beating the previous all-time-high.

A few days ago I was reading an article saying that instead of looking at the ATHs we should rather look at the yearly lows. Looking at this, you can really see the BTC's progression while removing the hype and noise.
I did and to be honest, even if the market crashed several times BTC is going quite fine (I don't mean in value). Forget the halving I don't think it will give something around the $15,000
4763  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What do you actually spend your cryptocurrency on? on: March 07, 2019, 08:15:24 PM
I haven't really spent that many coins lately, just had a wonderful time donating money to a wide variety of people through Lightning, testing out some games, feeding chickens, etc. It has taken most of my time and I really enjoy utilizing Lightning. I wish there were more services and merchants on board, but that's just a matter of time. I'm so excited that my excitement gets too far ahead some times, lol.

What I do want to see is more local brick and mortar stores coming on board. I want to walk into stores settling my transactions in Bitcoin. Money should be used as money, and Bitcoin definitely is money.

That's where we suck, the adoption is too small to really use BTC as an alternative currency. Like many other users, I spend my coins to buy stuff online VPS, gift cards, services but what I want is to be able to pay the supermarket, the bills, and other daily needs. Still then, like many users too, I sell to fiat

C'est quoi que tu appelles des montants élevés?

Au CIC ca passe tranquille les transactions venant des echanges. et ils ont des Gold Mastercard y'a un plafond de 1500€/24h pour les retraits, CB Visa Infinite 5000€/24h, avec une Mastercard World Elite c'est jusqu'a 3000€/24h

Chez Boursorma, tu peux gerer toi même les plafonds de la CB (mais je sais pas si il y a quand même une limite) faut juste être client depuis 3 mois.

Sinon, Bienvenue sur le forum Smiley

Merci pr ta reponse Smiley

Par montant élevé j entends retirer 1000 à 2000 euros par jour. En achetant en cash et en revendant sur Coinbase ou autre par exemple.
Il y aurait il des banques non françaises qui acceptent les ressortissants ?

Y'a Bunq et Fidor, mais je ne les connais pas bien, je sais que le fait de recevoir des payments de truc cryptos ca passe. Apres faut plutot voir du coté des EMI du type Bitwala, Wirex Spectrocoin... Bitwala, c'est plus une crypto banque mais tu as quand même un IBAN nominatif et une carte de paiement Mastercard.  (3000€/24h et 10000€/30j)

Anyone noticed when it's about a large company. They don't(want to) adopt directly Bitcoin to their business, but they develop something around. Like here, Rakuten adopted the same strategy not so long ago.

As folks said, during the gold rush, it was not the prospectors who won most of the money. It was the surrounding companies that sold products or services related to the mining industry

I wonder, what is the advantage of this news?
For us, nothing, for the company just a way to get free advertisement Grin
4766  Economy / Economics / Re: The Consensus is Clear: You Should Own Gold Now on: March 07, 2019, 05:40:08 PM
Better diversified investment, bitcoin and gold are both a strong investment that can be more profitable. There is really no rush on buying gold because its price is not moving that much compare to cryptocurrency. IMO, i would rather buy more bitcoin than gold because I don't see any function of gold aside from the jewelries, so for me its more worth it to buy coins, with a real function in the real world.

Bitcoin a "strong investment" oh really? $20,000 +12 months ago and $4,000 today, so strong, you say it!
People are not really considering gold as an investment. I mean people who are used to buy/sell. They aren't looking to make a profit from it they just want to put in place their funds in something reliable and keep it safe from inflation.
If you don't see any other "function" than jewelry it's just because you don't know enough about it to talk
4767  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it possible to double capital in 2 months? on: March 07, 2019, 05:18:43 PM
I've been in trouble and now I have a lot of debt
Can I double my capital in two months because if I do not pay I will die or be imprisoned
Please help me I think I am a professional but I am nervous now I can not trade well  Huh

Unless you take the risk to invest in an Altcoin that you think will pump a lot, to be honest, no. If there was a safe solution to double a capital, everyone would do it now.
If you are good at betting or to play poker than maybe, but it's not something I would recommend if you're already in debt..
Perhaps you can borrow money from your bank or something else?

4769  Economy / Economics / Re: France Targets Amazon, Google, Facebook for an Annual $500 Million Tax Boost on: March 06, 2019, 09:21:49 PM
France is targeting large technology firms such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, and others in a move that could fetch the French nation about $500 million.

French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Sunday in an interview with Le Parisien newspaper. Le Maire said the tax targets companies with a worldwide digital turnover of at least 750 million euros and French revenue of more than 25 million euros.

The target will see over 30 companies paying the taxes, mostly American, Chinese, and British, as well as several firms with French origins that have been bought by foreign companies. The French nation’s minister will present the bill before the parliament on Wednesday to charge Facebook, Apple and other digital giants, champions of tax optimization, according to the newspaper.

Lol! Has the economy of France weakened to a drastic level since few years so that they have look for cash cows? They are literally mal-targetting cash rich companies to fill in their own treasury for their own benefit! How silly is that!! It's not a good mentality or environment for conducting busines in France and may damage the industry friendly face of it the way it damaged for India over a tax battle with Vodafone!

It's the GAFA tax (google it) that Europe is currently working on since some time and since it wasn't able to reach a consensus France decided to start without EU. It's not the first country to do it. Spain, Italy, and a few others do it as well. If Google, Facebook or xyz is making a profit in your country, why shouldn't they pay their taxes? Are they too big to be taxed?
4770  Economy / Speculation / Re: Issues with contact less payments. on: March 06, 2019, 08:53:17 PM
In my country, you need to re-enter your PIN each time you've spent 100€. That's the reason I don't like to use, maybe good for the small payments. I know with a Raspberry PI you can make something to collect the card's information from people but here you could do nothing with it since you receive a SMS code from your bank for each online transaction.
People can use card protection like this one, sometimes you can get some for free
4771  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [Serious Question] Is PayGlobal legit? on: March 06, 2019, 06:34:52 PM
ok right, I missed this part. Even the FAQ says:
Quote
Select the FIAT money amount you wish to withdraw, and the amount of cryptocurrency will be displayed. Insert your cryptocurrency address to convert to FIAT.

You have 60 seconds to confirm. After you confirm and press the submit button, the cryptocurrency amount will be converted to FIAT within 15 minutes. Once the transaction is completed your available FIAT money balance will be displayed on your account.


I checked the fees and it's a bit costly. For this price, I expect to get premium service and not a card that will be gone after some months like the last Visa/Mastercard fiasco.

Sending funds from Your eWallet: SEPA Bank Transfer   1.50%
ATM Cardless Cash Withdraw   €5.00 EUR


Is the news accurate? Or the author mixed the name with another company?
Because I visited the site PayGlobal and it targets only the companies to provide payments solutions or professional development. There is nothing mentioned about cryptocurrencies on it.

Edit:
I found another website with the same domain name, it's an e-wallet company, but still, there is nothing mentioning crypto

Can you provide the link of the 2 domain website that you have seen, if you may? 

I really think that this is just the latest news and still not in operation that is why you surely wouldn't see anything about cryptocurrency on their site, Or it is just on application only and will not be mention in their site, That is some fact of what has happened when you look on their site, Or if you are a U.S. Citizen I think it is not yet available in the US and its services are only available to countries in the European Union, Mexico, Australia, Singapore, and Nigeria said in the article.
The second website was Payglobal.org not .com

Nice one.
A term is new to me: ITO. And I'm not sure if I get correctly the difference with ICOs.
@OP you should have added more terms like Fibonacci, limit order, stop loss, leverage... It fits better for an infographic about (crypto) trading. You could remove "altcoin" "cryptocurrency" "fork"... But as I said it's a good looking one.

4774  Economy / Economics / Re: Another good news for cryptocurrency in the Philippines on: March 06, 2019, 01:11:40 PM
This is really a good news. But this is quite surprising at the present time. I think that countries in Asia are responding to crypto quite a lot and this is really a big step for Asia.
In the European region, many political events are happening and the US has not yet intended to join crypto.
I predict that in the future, Europe will have to envy the GNI index of Asian countries.  Cheesy
There is nothing to be surprised of, there is nothing exciting, just a few properties for sale. Not even yet sold. Not even found someone interested.
We're talking about business related to cryptos here so saying the USA "hasn't intended to join crypto" is really wrong. Maybe 70% of the businesses are located in the USA
4775  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency companies still can’t open bank accounts on: March 05, 2019, 07:43:55 PM
The main problem is cryptocurrencies are still not correctly considered and so regulated. Some countries still don't know if it should be considered assets, currencies, illegal,... Banks won't help you to run a business (by providing you a bank account) to run an illegal business. They got too much problem already, they do care a lot more now.

Companies won't have such problem once cryptocurrencies are more well-know
4776  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Buying online from Denmark on: March 05, 2019, 07:12:35 PM
The buyer nationality doesn't need to be Danish. Anyone could buy your item on Amazon and receive it, then ship it to you to the address you want. Or your order and pay the item and give the address of the person. Obviously, it would need to be someone in the US. Of the person doesn't want to give his personal address he can pick the box at a "Pick Up Point"

I found another solution and apparently everyone is using Amazon.de and Amazon.co.uk which ships to Denmark. But just to be sure I got you right. If I find someone who could buy the item from a danish website, all he has to have is a credit card? He doesn't have to be a Danish citizen or anything and he could just fill the shipping info with my details?

Yes, he just signs up, fills his/her information, orders the item and pays it and that's all. And yes he could also fill the details with your address directly.
Usually, they ask you an address each time you place an order, in case you want to receive the item in another address that you provided before. You work, parent address, ...
4777  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Blockfi offers compound interest on crypto savings on: March 05, 2019, 06:53:52 PM
Not bad with a 6% interest rate, that's a decent one, better than the banks from here and their 0.7% p.a. at least. Or 2% at best Roll Eyes
I could even be interested if I knew more about the "insurance coverage for the digital assets it holds in custody"

compliance is everywhere, even the traditional banks bother you with it...
4778  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Bitcoin matured as a currency? on: March 05, 2019, 06:35:05 PM
I will echo most everyone's opinion, I don't think Bitcoin matured enough but at the same Bitcoin is just 10 years old. Too young for what it's supposed to change in a worldwide economy.
Though we have multiple ways to buy, to pay, to store our bitcoins there are not a lot of people effectively using it as a currency (even among the crypto community).
Perhaps in 10 or 15 years, the thing will be different

Why it doesn't come to a surprise. If we're not hypocrites we all knew that Wex and BTC-e were used for dirty transactions. Since it didn't have any KYC it was the perfect place to use.
In the opposite, there are very few changes that work together on coins acquired from hacks, etc., either by communication or exchange information
4780  Economy / Economics / Re: Are off shore bank accounts worth it? (US citizens) on: March 03, 2019, 08:40:05 PM
The offshore banks are not offshore anymore. It's not the same as it was before with the international information exchanges program. Maybe less than 10% of the banks are still truly offshore, and you can be sure the percentage will reduce with the years coming.

Also when you have nothing to hide you have no use for an offshore bank account

Yup. Usually, Swiss bank accounts are the ones being used for money laundering and by plunderers who wish to keep their assets away from exposé and being sniffed by their own government, though governments can ask offshore banks to disclose some info regarding statements and balances if they are after one person who may have potentially done something fishy in terms of their finances and wealth.

Interest rates, accompanied with better service is what usually tempt people to open an offshore bank account, though if you're really not doing something bad, or don't really need to have a bank account abroad, why open an offshore one? I can only see an offshore bank being viable if one person intend to travel on the country where their bank account is opened to have easy access to cash and ATMs should they need it.

I think I said it in this topic or another, but there are still a few banks offshore in Switzerland but things will change with the time as the list of countries keep growing.

Now in 2019 if you go here and go to a bank to open an account, they will gladly accept you. Then if you say you want to deposit $100k cash they will gladly tell you to go to another bank unless you can prove the fund's origin.
