I read the local news, and there is several articles that made me interesting, a few weeks ago, the mobile version of the Bitcoin wallet bitcoin platform decided to eliminate the conversion of bitcoin currencies with USD. then replaced with Satoshi.

the decision was taken to eliminate dependence on fiat currency. because bitcoin capability if converted to fiat, will interfere.

developer samourai wallet says "farewall fiat" or "goodbye fiat".

Hello Bitcoin talk.
      I am member of thid forum from last one year and i am doing trading too. Most of time i did only long term trading and now i want to learn short time trading. So can you tell me how can i get information about any coin that will be pump in next few hours?

Of all the large companies that are now large internet players, do anyone particularly scare you in terms of how you data and track could be used? Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, …?

There is buzz about the prospective of governments and banks accepting crypto or creating their own for its mass acceptance.

I don't think this is even worth acknowledging, as all of the present and future innovations are going to come from the private sector. Governments are just responsible for damage control, do a God-awful job for the most part and have never achieved true democracy.

In the past, people relied on governments and banks not because they're "governments" or "banks," but because they provided security.

Once AI, blockchain, and improved means to use crypto provide even better security than governments and banks ever could, whatever they do will be irrelevant.

Hi,
I'm attempting some margin trading on an exchange for a few days, I'm wandering what the best practice is when you decide to go to bed.
Should you leave the coins on the exchange, or pay the fees to withdraw to an external wallet and then move them back in the morning?
Thanks.

I will like to say the plain truth about what I have think laid ahead of us as an investors, traders and speculators on cryptocurrencies market. Many of us that know about cryptocurrencies and bitcoin since 2010 and 2011 and did not see any reason to buy and hold till 2017 before selling will testify that impatient is the reason why they are not millionaire in the local currency.
in cryptocurrencies market we are witnessing transfer of wealth and this transfer is been done through creating a system that make some group of people selling their holding because of the fear of what the future hold. The wise one are buying and hold for 2 to 3 years before thinking to sell.
if you want to be a future millionaire  and billionaire? then think on how important it is for you to keep holding and patient with the market and in 2 to 3 years to come if you will not be in money, this money always come from the impatient one.
Goodluck to you friend.

Is it possible to sent USDT- Tether from Poloniex to Kraken?

I did sent something and it is waiting for approvel for hours now.

Poloniex is warning you with the following sentence: "IMPORTANT: Do not send Tether USD anywhere unless you are certain the destination supports Omni transactions. If it does not, you could permanently lose access to your coins."


Since Kraken is utilizing the omni protocol for Tether, I asume this would be a correct transfer. Could I be wrong?

I spent a lot of effort on learning about trade. I have also experienced many psychological feelings, ups and downs, so I would like to share from the bottom of my heart  some tips for beginners or amateur traders:

1. Trade only 1 pair of currency: usdt and altcoin
2. Invest in good altcoins only  (1-5 crypto), focus will bring about higher chance of winning. Treat btc as an altcoin and make a speculation with it. Learn how to identify a good crypto in order to hold the coin whenever the storms come.
3. BUY ON RED- SELL ON GREEN. Spend only one third of your money on trading long down waves. Two-thirds of the money should be allocated in the downtrend cycle of this market.
3. Prepare yourself for the great crisis that may happen during 2019-2021. Before that time, you should be flexible to convert your money flow from cash, real estate to gold and valuable assets. During the crisis, we can hold diamond at junk price (for crypto and securities) and buy good real estate at low prices.

How can we get people to use bitcoin as a real currency and not just a quick way to get cash as a lot of people seem to do? When I say currency, I mean the literal definition of currency as something that is used as a medium of exchange.
Even online, there are only a few stores who are accepting it as payment.

At first, there were scam rumors for Tether, because only USDT pairs pumped. Furthermore, there was the rumor that all USDT pairs will be delisted from Binance.

That’s why everybody thought all USDT pairs are pumping because everyone wants to get out of USDT.

An hour later Kucoin suspended tether deposits and withdrawals. https://www.google.de/amp/s/bitc...

These were all the assumption.

However, the actual reason is most likely very simple.

It was just a whale buying up lots of Bitcoin with lots of USDT that he held. In fact, he bought up $500M worth of Bitcoin, which made the Bitcoin market cap go up by $25B.

Here is how it works:

He buys up Bitcoin so that the price goes up by 10%. All USDT pairs pump by 10%, too.

So if IOTA is worth 9000 Satoshi, which is $0.5 and Bitcoin goes up by 10%, IOTA is still worth 9000 Satoshi, but then $0.55, so it shows as a 10% pump in the IOTA/USDT pair, while remaining stagnant in its BTC pair.

So, this doesn't have to do anything with Tether, just a whale buying lots of BTC. When that happens, USDT pairs always pump, because of math.

However, I don’t think it was an institutional investor, but someone who had lots of USDT. So, he bought $500M worth of Bitcoin with USDT. Since, this put a lot of USDT on the market, the USDT price tanked.

If you look at Top 100 Richest Bitcoin Addresses and Bitcoin distribution, there are currently only 3 addresses that hold that much wealth and they all belong to the exchanges Bitfinex, Bitrexx, Binance. That means, it must be a whale from January during the height of the bull run, where there were around 50 addresses with that much wealth.

It was probably one of the 10 largest Bitcoin whales who had cashed out half a billion into USDT back in January and now decided to sell all Tether, because of all the sketchiness surrounding it and because he thought Bitcoin has probably found its bottom. That’s why he decided to buy back in now.

Now, the Bitcoin/USD and Bitcoin/USDT markets have to even each other out at probably around $6,600.

If you found this answer helpful, please leave an upvote.

P.S. If you need help with your portfolio (larger than $200,000) for this coming bull run, I provide professional guidance for $500/week and a 10% profit share. However, only if you make profit. If you don’t make profit, there is no weekly fee

I have to say upfront that I'm no fan of technical analysis, even in traditional asset markets. There are 2 main reasons for this:
1) There is no scientific proof that technical analysis works at all. The only correlation between technical analysis and true market movements is that it is widely believed. And this leads to the next point
2) TA is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If people stopped believing in it, it would stop working right away. If people find new patterns they only start actually working once they get enough traction for other people to believe in them.

This is somewhat of a problem in traditional assets, but it is just a minor nuisance. The fundamental values of traditional assets always strike back, no matter what TA says. Found resistance? Doesn't matter if the underlying value shoots way up due to increasing sales, usage or whatever. Glad a value has some support? Doesn't matter if sales drop to near-zero, the price does not care about support.

At cryptocurrencies, however, those fundamental values don't work as there are rarely any. Most companies behind cryptocurrencies either have no product that is close to justifying their volume and value. Some of them (Bitcoin amongst them) do not even want to have one. Therefore they are subject to constant influence by those religiously believing in TA, which makes them an object of pure speculation. The fundamental values are "news", no matter the level of reliance.

In my opinion, this holds cryptocurrencies from being a usable and reliable method for everyday transaction use.

What is your view on this?

we certainly hear a lot of people whose their lives change 180% because of Bitcoin

based on https://www.livebitcoinnews.com/venezuelans-turn-to-bitcoin-and-online-gaming-to-survive/
when government policies make them miserable, they find ways to survive.

Do you agree with Bitcoin is one of the saviors and are there any of us who have saved their economic lives since focusing on Bitcoin?
and honestly, I'm one of the people whose economic needs have survived because of Bitcoin  

Today, we started with Bitcoin great pump like end of the 2017. Bitcoin almost %20 rised and reached almost 8K in 1 hour. Then, started the retreat again to 7K.

What is going on Bitcoin? Is it related with Tether? Tether has moved in last days. Can anyone explain?

Got in at the height of Jan this year and all holdings lost more than half from the previous peak.

Very frustrated and was afraid that crypto will be zeroed out, so sold at massive loss more than 50%+ realized loss

After sold last week, all coins came back up 10-20%, even more frustrated, what to do?

It is said that central banks plan to release their own curypto currency in some countries,for example Japan.
I know it is quite extreme, but I consider the world that coin and bill currently circulated are abolished, and only the curypto currency issued by the central bank circulates.
I think there are some merits and demerits of this system.

---

Merit for goverment
· Promotion of utilization of blockchain and smart contracts in various infrastructures
· Reduce the cost of issuing coins and bills
· It is possible to prevent money laundering and crime because of catching a money transaction
· It is possible to confirm the history of deposits and withdrawals of funds and possible to reliably catch taxable objects
· Bribery can be eradicated

deMerit for goverment
· Increases a risk of hacking
· It takes cost to update various infrastructure such as payment systems
· Defining the total supply amount makes it impossible to measure to prevent deflation, and If it does not, it will become inflation
· When equipment is destroyed due to a disaster, it will not function as an exchanging means
· Bribery is eradicated

Merit for user
· There is no need to carry cash
· Reduce the cost required for payment settlement
· Easier transfer of assets in inheritance
· Since transactions are recorded on the blockchain, accounting and tax returns are simplified


I think there are other merits and demerits, so I'm happy if you suggest other ideas.

By the way, do you want to live in such a world? I do not want to live in such a world that I can be monitored by the goverment, no matter how convenient it is.

We are led to believe that almost all governments are corrupt and that most officials and even leaders of the world are bought.

We saw this for instance with the US elections where rumours are doing the rounds that massive amounts of money were channelled from foreign countries to influence the outcome of the election. This money had to be laundered through shell companies via Banks and complex money laundering systems.

All of this leaves paper trails and this can later be followed and investigated to find the true origin of this money.

Now think about this, why would "corrupt" governments want to appose Bitcoin and Crypto currencies, if they can use it to hide their "corrupt" practices? Would it not make sense just to allow it and then use it to further their political aspirations?

The push back from these corrupt governments does not make any sense. Could it be that they know that Bitcoin and Crypto currencies are not "anonymous" at all and that these transactions can be traced and for this reason they are apposed to it?

Curious to know what you are thinking. 

for now the market price is very difficult for me to predict, because it is difficult for me to be able to analyze prices, and lately it is difficult for me to get a profit, exactly what I get is defeat, what is your solution to be able to deal with the market price situation which is very difficult for me to predict, can a trader who is proficient in trading can share his experience in trading for me?

Government Regulations may be good or bad, either way I am not sure what could really be the effect of regulations on cryptocurrency. On the contrary, the government regulations on stock market exchange was able to increase the number of investors by encouragement and building up trust and confidence of the investors for stock market exchange. Thus, making it clear that many individuals are getting involve in stock market doing day trade for them to profit.

It was never known that regulations in cryptocurrency may be at help. I came across with an article about cryptocurrency regulations states that some of the investors were now worried and afraid that without clear regulations it will deprive them to enjoy the stay on cryptocurrency. Thus, will not help also the newcomers to feel secured in joining cryptocurrency.


But what could really be the benefit of regulations?


So, if one will make the best move to let cryptocurrency be regulated all over the countries around the world then definitely cryptocurrency will be next to stock market exchange. Maybe it could be better than stock market exchange because we are not talking about real money it is a digital currency which aims decentralized currency and to provide good service to its investors or consumers attracting low transaction fee than the current banking system. Hopefully this innovation will push through regulations.
