everybody is blaming the whales, easiest thing to do when you suck at trading.
And they never blame the whales when it comes to IRL.
If a day I become a whale I wouldn't be bothered to be blamed all day long... Grin

Paypal is still useful for buyers, I use it regularly, I don't care the fees since I don't pay them

Of course you do pay for them. The customer always pays all fees and all taxes that go through the commercial chain.

If you pay 10, and the seller only receives 8, you paid 2 in fees. If there were no fees, you would pay only 8. The seller is not absorbing fees, he never do that, he always pass it to the buyer (whoever he is).

If you decide to resell it , you will sell for more than 10, not more than 8.

No always true, in my case I pay the same price that if I buy in the physical shop. The seller is charged with the fees If I pay $10 the seller receives less. I don't even remember the last time I had to pay the fees to pay the order from a merchant website. I paid more fees to send money to people than to pay the orders.

I do not know the logic of BCH but I always believe in this coin, I see that they always grow taller than BTC and ETH, I always choose to hold this coin, they give me high profit.

 Cheesy I couldn't stop to laugh after reading your post.  You don't know "the logic" but you "always believe in"!
Roger Ver alone will destroy Bitcoin cash and it will become a hated coin, abandoned by everyone, even the fans will left!
Nobody is using Bitcoin cash... only the tradings bots... Even the less popular altcoins like Dogecoin have more TXs than Bitcoin cash

4844  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-11-07] One in five Brits think Bitcoin will be ‘as common as cash or card’ on: February 13, 2019, 07:27:31 PM
To compare with other countries the UK stands at the 4th place in average (survey conducted by ING Bank and the respondents are from Europe, The U.S.A, and Austalia (15 countries in total ~15,000 respondents) Comparing with Germany, it stands a lot behind...

...Because another point to consider is some countries are more enthusiasts to digital cash than others. Some countries like to pay with a card, app, everything digital (so digital money is highly to be in their interest) and some countries like Germany prefer a lot to use banknotes/coins.

That's a problem, not only here but in the whole crypto community. People consider Bitcoin as an investment or a store of value and not as it's supposed to be used...a currency. (Can you stop calling Bitcoin an investment?) I also remember a recent study (like +6 months ago) saying two-thirds of Bitcoin transactions are related to trading and not a real use.
4846  Economy / Economics / Re: Will people come back to gold on: February 11, 2019, 08:26:33 PM
gold investment has been around for a long time and it has become one of the investments with a very safe category and also its value continues to increase even though it is not as fast as the bitcoin movement
For me it is not because it does not give more profit than gold, it is not old age mate we are living in modern era where we will have to move with time without looking what has been using by people in nineties, gold is not safe to invest as holing it is one of issue needs improvement, but if you invest in crypto you will not be worry steeling or street robbing.

Dude, most people don't store the gold at home under the bed or in the bathroom. What about if I tell you it's easier to steal your coins than your gold. If a day cryptos are massively used, most people will store their coins in their latest smartphone just to look swag, I can already imagine the number of people who will be ripped from their smartphone

@Beman30

Something to think about is what advantage people will get to pay you with Bitcoin? If none, then why someone would use is coins to pay a dentist, knowing people prefer to hold their bitcoins and wait to see the price increase, etc. People are only interested in money

If I get a 10% discount if I pay with Bitcoin I may think about it but other than that why should I pay with BTC. I could simply convert BTC to fiat and pay you with.
Also, did you consider that most people have health insurance? Let's say someone pays you in BTC and then the insurance refund in fiat? where is the interest for the patients?

Are people really still waiting for approval from the SEC? Who gives a shit to it anymore? In case it's approved it's too late. We may see the price increase for a week then what? It will be as if nothing happened.
A full month of positive increase won't bring back the positive feeling people has a while back. Even if in 3 months the price goes to $10k people will be a lot hesitant and septic

You won't find any card with a low KYC requirement, to be honest. (Maybe E-payment or Capitalist). I only found a topic from another forum where the comments looked like the shitposts here.
One of the sites you mentioned is even promoting scam mixers

@Vod

Is it possible that some profiles are bugged? I checked a user profile yesterday, it was showing 7 replies deleted by moderators and 14 topics removed. Since I then reported some topics after and they got removed, and today I wanted to check if this guy has finally been banned, the stats are still the same despite I forced the refresh

Well, I too searched something about it on its FAQ but didn't find. Only the * but didn't read it carefully.
I was excited to see such news even if I am not a Coinbase fan. But it gives nothing special, I even wonder how's going to use it.
4852  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-02-02]Amazon Might Have to Issue a Cryptocurrency Soon on: February 10, 2019, 07:41:14 PM

I'm pretty certain that Bitcoin's lack of short term scalability is more of a problem than that. It's just not interesting for them to accept it now, and I can't blame them for that. Amazon has such a massive reach world wide, that even a slight uptick in demand is enough to have the network become congested.

It all comes down to Lightning. It's just a matter of time before we see them hop on board after successfully having done some prior testing.
Amazon has always considered Paypal as a competitor and so has Paypal. Between them, it's a dog and cat story. And it's certainly the same between Amazon and Bitcoin. In addition, Amazon has no real interest in adding Bitcoin as a payment method. If this will help to increase the market maybe but it is not at all the case. Why should Amazon add BTC, knowing the demand in near zero
4853  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: 2019 List Bitcoin Mixers Bitcoin Tumblers Websites on: February 10, 2019, 06:14:50 PM
Didn't find anything about it. Other than an old topic from 2017 here and the domain name created on 2018-05-02. Perhaps the website has been abandoned long ago, the guy restarted to post at the same time the domain was (re)registered (again)
I don't know from where you found this site, myself I have never heard about it. I see it has a Mastercard but even from people looking for a working card never mentioned it here.

In my country, people will pay with everything you accept, even if you say only Bitcoin, they will gladly jump to buy bitcoins to pay you with it. You need to wait for 1 year to see a dentist in my country. Opening a business here you are sure to get enough work for the next 5 years without looking for clients
4855  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: There is a trustworthy network for crypto advertising? on: February 10, 2019, 02:24:33 PM
A-ads.com is a decent advertising network. I used it long ago and I found it's a pretty fair network for advertisers as well as publishers. No need to create an account and as a publisher, I found it's the most interesting among all the networks I tried (CPM/PPC/CPA).
You can use their goal tracking feature for the best result on your campaigns
4856  Economy / Economics / Re: Expert Opinion about Cryptomarket 2019 on: February 10, 2019, 10:47:13 AM
Most, if not all, predictions from the so called experts have been wrong. Where are the experts now? Look like anyone can do a prediction and is then considered as an expert. Pretty sure we can interpret a text from Nostradamus and say Nostradamus was an expert.
Only the sheep rely on "expert predictions"
4857  Economy / Exchanges / Coinbase EU customers can now withdraw to their PayPal accounts on: February 09, 2019, 09:10:15 PM
EU and European Free Trade Association customers can now withdraw to their PayPal accounts

Quote
Last year we announced support for PayPal in the U.S., and today we’re expanding that support for PayPal withdrawals to all E.U. customers and customers in European Free Trade Association countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland)...

...As one of the world’s easiest and most widely-used payment platforms, adding PayPal as a withdrawal option for European customers offers another great option for withdrawing their funds.

To get started, sign in to Coinbase and link your PayPal account to your Coinbase account. Select your PayPal account as a payment option when withdrawing your cash balance to easily move your funds
https://blog.coinbase.com/eu-and-european-free-trade-association-customers-can-now-withdraw-to-their-paypal-accounts-d80767e13977

Few questions in my mind. (regarding regulations)
Paypal doesn't support cryptocurrencies basically, is it a sign Paypal is currently re-thinking about it?
Paypal isn't considered as a bank account in most countries worldwide. So no need to report it as a foreign account
So, if no report people can freely use Paypal to avoid 1) to report income related to crypto and so 2) paying the taxes.

Unless I missed something it seems to good to be true and a huge amount of people will simply use Paypal for 1) and 2)
Or Paypal is confident enough that Coinbase will give to any country requesting it, all information about their citizens (like The US asked once)
4858  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Decentralisation is harder than you think on: February 09, 2019, 08:27:48 PM
I do know what is a consensus. But consensus doesn't work. Yes, it does if we are only 10 people, not difficult, but it can't work with everybody included. And it can also work if people are ready for some compromise.
Imagine a consensus in politic, do you really think it's possible? Hell no.

Do you think that a company, capable of earning US$ Millions with few or almost no employees, should/could give back part of what they earn to create social good and social help?
No, if I own a business it's not to give the money back to someone that gives me nothing.
On the other side, a company earning millions of USD should pay the proper taxes to the country and stop making any kind of scheme possible to avoid paying the taxes. Like Google, Amazon and so on are doing.

Quote
But if actually, companies in the future did it by themselves, becoming Social Benefit Companies, with them deciding who or what they want to help with (Or even giving the power of choice to their clients), where using their products would also mean helping other people, would that actually create a whole different mindset and ethic code from a corporate point of view?
So in other words, it means to give the political power to companies to decide for us.


What about recording every Govt.'s transactions in a blockchain where everybody can see where our money goes and how it's used?

Go Bitcoin! Excite me like a pussy dancing on the table!  Cheesy
I would like to see Bitcoin volatile as it used to be (yes the ups and downs too) Like the majority of people I too don't think the trend will continue, I bet on Monday it will lose the 10%.
