Although John McAfee is entitled to his opinion thus expressing his fundamental right by predicting unrealistic price of bitcoin come 2020 however maybe  this guy has a hidden agenda else all his gibberish comments is just to gain attention meanwhile his predicted price won't hold water because its lacks proof to expatiate or backed up his claims, it has now become normal routine for John McAfee to garner unwarranted attention although we might have some of his followers who might be cheaply deceived by his comments.
4882  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Bitcoin beat Bank interest rates and inflation. :-> on: October 28, 2019, 08:05:37 PM
well, because banks only use fiat currencies whose value is very stable. so that the interest profit that you can get is from those who borrowed funds from the bank. different from bitcoin and other crypto currencies. this has very high trade fluctuations. in crypto, you can get a profit of more than 20% and can even reach 200-1000% if the fluctuation of the coin you buy is increasing greatly. but stay alert. investing in crypto isn't just about profits. but you must also understand the risks. there is no guarantee in crypto about your assets. when it's gone, you can't blame others.

That is the difference with Bitcoin and banks investment, it is given that Bitcoin offer a high returns but risky while bank offer low interest but guaranteed. I must say that all of us here are risk-taker because we choose Bitcoin investment over banks. This is also the reason why most of the bank are against Bitcoin because their customer is shifting into Bitcoin investment.
Every investment in life involves risk and for an investor to be successful in life he or she must be able to take a higher risk, as for me I don't think its proper and profitable as a crypto enthusiast to safe my money in bank having tasted the watering offer crypto especially by hodling bitcoin on long term basis my last interest was nothing to write home about thus prompted me to withdraw the remaining balance and divert it into cryptos without any regret the banks also know that bitcoin is a major threat to their existence.
4883  Economy / Speculation / Re: Don't react to the fluctuations on: October 28, 2019, 06:58:31 PM
that is an excellent advice but the problem is that the same people who are doing the panic selling are mostly the cause of a big part of the fluctuations. specially the end of the fluctuations meaning for example when there is a big drop they sell at the bottom and push the price even lower.
if people simply put aside their fears in bitcoin market, they would see a lot less losses and we would see a lot less volatility.
Human being are too emotional when it comes to trading especially cryptos whenever there is a little correction in the price of bitcoin fear will force hodlers to sell more as you rightly said but I believed the whales has the higher impact on the price ie they are the mover of the price compared to bit hodlers whose coins might not have significant impact.
4884  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are the scam projects killing entire crypto space? on: October 28, 2019, 04:53:19 PM
Scam project has almost killed the crypto market, that is why a lot of people and investors had stop participating in ICO projects due to fraudulent projects. It is also the reason why bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have experienced a huge downfall in the year of 2018. Good thing that everything are now recovering.
Personally I am very scared to invest in any ICO project now based on the past unpleasant experience of scams in fact other investors too are very caution and wary of fraudulent happenings in the crypto space now I believed all these menace is killing the system now partly due to non regulations thus any dick and harry can anonymously create an ICO with a fake teams, whitepaper, roadmap etc which are all hoax to deceive investors.

My trading techniques in option trading is based on candlesticks patterns formed at the support and resistance zones, and you must be knowledgeable in drawing those zones perfectly else you will lose many trades I am always mindful if any of these two patterns are formed at those zones Bullish or bearish engulfing bar or pin bars these are price action candles that are very profitable when used with higher time frame although with fewer trading set-up unlike the lower time frame that is very volatile and very difficult to trade.
4886  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bakkt’s Bitcoin Futures Volume Explodes 260% to Trade $11M in 24 Hours on: October 28, 2019, 02:47:45 PM
Bakkt Bitcoin futures exploded because of positive sentiment came from our recent news, we have gotten a lot of positive news from every side. Causing people to regain back their positive sentiment and pushing the price up. The price has not been consolidated yet that means we might see another action in the future either it is dump or pump, Bitcoin pump will become a catalyst for altcoin but it needs time to stabilize the price.
I believed all these yardsticks and factors ( Bakkt futures volume increment and president XI jinging pronouncement on blockchain) culminated and accelerated the recent pump in the price of bitcoin, altcoin price will also be driven upward and new ICOs will have the confidence of new investors as the market is turning green more funds might be pump in the crypto market all indications are positive signals of the market outlook as the year is coming to end.
4887  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin's Latest Rise Was Manipulated? on: October 28, 2019, 01:31:51 PM
So far, no one has cited any real facts of market manipulation recently, when bitcoin in two days grew in price by two thousand dollars. I also do not even see real positive news that could lead to this. The news from China is not so serious as to have such consequences in the cryptocurrency market. Although, let everyone remain in their own opinion. Someone likes to consider this increase in the price of bitcoin as manipulation, someone believes that this is simply a return of the price to the usual value for bitcoin.
It can be a coincidence that leads the BTC price pump this past few days same time china announces approval or interest in blockchain since price by that time is entering into new level going lower than $7k which can be also the time many wait to buy btc. However its been always a rumor about manipulation which is capable as long as we have tons of money to buy and sell btc.
I doubt it that  the sudden pump can coincide with the Chinese pronouncement, the movement of the price of bitcoin is always synonymous with any news around the globe both positive and negative news based on my own research, President Xi Jinping statement on blockchain technology made a big impact before it the price of BTC/USD was ranging between $7500 and $8500 the sudden surge was obvious aftermath of the pronouncement.
4888  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China Has Something to Do with Bitcoin's Price Increase After All on: October 28, 2019, 10:44:04 AM
The recent surge in the price of bitcoin is as result aftermath of president Xi Jinping pronouncement of the adoption of blockchain technology by china blockchain is the backbone of bitcoin thus well correlated and connected hence will definitely impact its price positively and China is a major stakeholder in bitcoin they have the largest mining farm, Millions of bitcoin hodlers are Chinese recall some few years i think in 2017  when Chinese government raged a war against some crypto trading and close down local bitcoin exchanges that singular act resulted to the drop in the price of bitcoin that shows how China has a huge impact on the price of bitcoin.
4889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: October 28, 2019, 09:42:34 AM
I think that we all won money on Liverpool this Sunday and the bold ones who were not afraid to pair it with Manchester United game are even more happy.I did for myself and I am happy because it was since last two weeks that I didn’t won a bet in the Premier League.Arsenal game I think was good but not good enough and the VAR is there for showing only the truth and did not impact the game at all.

I was expecting Liverpool to lose in this game.
These guys are unbelievable to get a win from a 0-1 score.
They are so ahead of Manchester City and they show that this year they are going to be the Champions.

I"m not so surprising to see the result that Liverpool won the match although Spurs was leading with 1 goal on the first half. Liverpool is still a better team than the other teams in Premier League this season. Just take  a look at the match once again on how Liverpool dominating the game, so they deserve a win obviously. Only bad luck would make them lose the last match imho.
As long as they can keep their performance like what they have done in the last 10 matches then without a doubt there will be no teams that can stop them to be the Champion at the end of the season.
I stated this earlier  link : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1148053.msg52896868#msg52896868 that will be very difficult for tottenham to win Liverpool at anfield considering their home support with a slogan 'never walk alone' and their current form and their performances had been outstanding  this season, Tottenham had been struggling so far and cannot match Liverpool in every department on the field except SON whose performance is above average.
4890  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Statement against people who say Bitcoin is a Scam on: October 27, 2019, 08:25:47 PM
I would just send some Bitcoins in his wallet and then let the things grow on their own because no one can actually do this thing , you just have to grow on this thing on your own , also I would tell them how everything works and how you can actually earn with bitcoins , with trading and with signature campaigns and such .
Also it's just the people who never used Bitcoin who consider bitcoins a scam .

I just like this your idea of sending some bitcoin into those ignorant individuals who are against bitcoin to show the practicality of it through their wallet and perhaps when btc pumped right there in their presence then I believed they will have a change in perception of the what bitcoin is all about and possibly changed their negative orientation about bitcoin being a scam.
This issue of classifying bitcoin as scam have been raging for long I believed this is right time we start putting people through to the positive aspect of bitcoin.

39 victims are not small numbers. this is included in the extraordinary crime
I hope the police can quickly reveal this case
Yeah! However, I can't say this as a case of massacre because the way of killing is not very brutal or either a genocide because it's not done by government. Bit whatever the police may call it, I'm sure this will not be just a simple case of murder due to large number of death.
They are Vietnamese immigrant who wanted to migrate to UK to seek greener pasture unfortunately ended their life in a miserable way I believed the metropolitan police will arrest the agent or the culprit behind this nefarious act brought to book, according to a report 31 men and 8 women were killed in this unfortunate incident I have a link here showing some there faces and some reports.

4892  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best altcoin to invest excluding ETH on: October 27, 2019, 05:21:24 PM
My advice there are 2 coins , xrp and xlm. I see for some time these two coins are still very potential and have good prospects in the future.
Indeed, for now it is not good if you buy it. I think you should wait for the price to go down a bit. Or if indeed you have a lot of money to invest, immediately buy the coins
XRP and XLM are cool too if looking for coins below 1$ but I wonder why people are so biased saying they are centralized coins.  The very first thing I look out for is project development and Ripple for instance nailed it with Xrapid. NPXS is also undervalued in my opinion looking at the mind-blowing project development so far. It's sad that people don't buy coins now based on development progress but more on hype.
XRP for sure is a very profitable coin to invest looking through the price chart of XRP/USD using four hour chart as a reference it often dump or drop low for traders to buy and pump high for sell thus making it a profitable coin although it is centralized however it profitability should be paramount and the focal point is banging in profits consistently while trading it rather than focus on the other feature of it ie not being decentralized.
4893  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: October 27, 2019, 04:14:26 PM
Majority of gamblers will bet on a Liverpool victory and it seems the right bet considering the form of both teams, excluding the him victory in the UCL, Tottenham has been out of sorts for majority of the season. They have the quality to hurt Liverpool, but it would be an upset (in my opinion).
I would take a gamble with the teams that do score, I expect a tight match and only one of the teams scoring, if there are goals. A 2:0 victory for Liverpool or maybe Tottenham
Tottenham is not having the best season so far and hence it is the right decision going with Liverpool but it is possible Tottenham could score a goal in this match, either way i am going with the safe option of Liverpool because that is the logic i see how this match goes and see how this goes  Smiley.
If will be very difficult for Tottentam to defeat Liverpool right in front of their vociferous fans  going by the pedigree of Tottenham lackluster performance so far this season while going to Anfield for a possible win wont be possible hopefully they should go and play a defensive game thus aim for a draw else playing attacking football in Anfield couls spelt doom for them meaning they might  suffers an humiliating defeat based on the in-form attacking players of Liverpool where you have the likes of mane, salah and ferminho.
4894  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: dormant addresses are waking up? on: October 27, 2019, 03:02:10 PM
Hi,

All below addresses were emptied this year. Most of them in Sept. 2019. Around 2982 BTC in 21 addresses.
All addresses were first used in 2011, and dormant until now.
BCH is still there except 1 address.

No spending transactions on them so the public key was not known.
The owner he suddenly remembered after 8 years that he had some BTC?

What are your opinions?

Wow it's a huge of money especially if the owner of this addresses is/are not aware of it and they just remembered it recently.

The owners of that addresses are very lucky that they bought Bitcoin last 2011 and let it sit for 8 years. But if I were them 2017 is the best time for it to cash out as it was the peak of the market.
Probably they missed selling their bitcoin in 2017 ATH and now they don't want to miss another chance at least selling at $10K is not a bad bargain considering the fact that those bitcoin were bought in 2011 at the early stages of bitcoin ie early adopter.
4895  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will XRP Claim the #2 Position? on: October 27, 2019, 01:12:28 PM
If ETH does nothing to improve things, I hope that it would be replaced, but not by XRP. This is the worst "altcoin" that exists on the crypto market and in general has nothing in common with actual crypto currencies.
Even though XRP is centralized I also agreed it has the ability to replaced ETH going by the market CAP, past price history shows that its really a coin that worth Hodling for a long term with a potential profit unlike ETH, using 4 hour time frame of XRP/USP chart as a reference shows how profitable it is by buying XRP at low and selling high thus making profits consistently unlike ETH.
4896  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China's President Xi Jinping VS Bitcoin on: October 27, 2019, 12:17:59 PM

I would like to discuss whether you think this is Xi hidden message to the world that they are able to make a perfect cryptocurrency than Bitcoin?

indeed blockchain technology is not only related to cryptocurrencies, but I think Xi has another intention!!


I do not think that their own cryptocurrency will become better than Bitcoin because its just another stablecoin wherein China's government have full control, we already have few stablecoin in the market but Bitcoin still dominates them. I believe that any coin that is created even if its backed by government will not surpass Bitcoin because crypto people loves the fully decentralized system of Bitcoin.
President XI speech does not necessary mean that china wanted to create there own cryptocurrency but to use or deploy blockchain technology in areas where china feels it will be relevant to their economy of course we have other area or sectors where this technology is very relevant eg chain supplies, medicine, election etc however if they eventually adopt it invariably as bitcoin will become a goldmine as blockchain is the backbone of bitcoin.
4897  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is the day trading profitable ? on: October 27, 2019, 07:36:53 AM
I am prepared myself for trading. But i need some suggetions from here. There are many way for trading in cryptocurrency. But i need correct one which is profitabe. I am prepared myself for day trading. Is it profitabe?
Day trading is profitable if you have trading skills, day trading is also detrimental if you don't understand the crypto market. Having a good source of information and technical analysis is an initial strategy in my opinion if you want to trade crypto. Market demand is greatly influenced by news like yesterday XI Jinping recommends blockchain technology. Day-trading requires you to understand where the market will go, monitoring every trade you enter.
I agreed that with you that day trading is mostly influenced by fundamental news in the cryptosphere reference to the president XI Jinping blockchain announcement that is applying only technical analysis as a day trader is very risky a lot of knowledge is required so as to have an edge over the market and make consistent profits.
4898  Economy / Speculation / Re: It's still going down (Oct 26, 2019) on: October 27, 2019, 06:31:49 AM
look buddy
try to be positive with what's happening in the market today.
for me this is a sign that there will be further improvements that are greater than yesterday.
so don't expect bitcoin to continue to decline.
Whether the OP is positive or negative with the latest price movement of bitcoin that is his own personal prediction or opinion may based on TA however bitcoin price always defies any form of technical analysis prior to the last price pump, speculations was rife that the price will dump to the support at $6K invariably the price prove those speculators wrong and pumped to $10,400 thanks to the positive news that originated fro China.

Very proud to see Chelsea now. They were very consistent in every match, their last 5 matches ended in victory and included a Champions League match. It looks like Lampard has found a good formula for Chelsea strategy.
Quite true Lampard is doing good currently,  until Chelsea meet some big teams and win them,  that is when I can now believe that Lampard has gotten the formula for Chelsea strategy,  they were lucky that there was not enough time yesterday after burnley scored twice
Playing against big teams like Liverpool and Manchester City will be the litmus test for coach Frank Lampard playing against minnows will not really be the true test to ascertain how strong and solid is Chelsea this season, I couldn't believed the team will concede two goals against lowly rated  burnley toward the end of their match thus a lot of work need to be done on their defence.

Very proud to see Chelsea now. They were very consistent in every match, their last 5 matches ended in victory and included a Champions League match. It looks like Lampard has found a good formula for Chelsea strategy.

Yes, the results are quite good so far but the defense looks a little weak, see the Chelsea match at EPL

Norwich City 2-3
Wolves 2-5
Burnley 2-4

Having conceded 2 goals in some of the matches above indicates there was a defect in the defense line

I think zuoma need to up his game he no doubt an experienced defender having been loaned out to different clubs I expect him to have marshaled Chelsea defense line well based on his experience so far, chelsea had not been solid in the back allowing goalkeeper kepa to concede goals and not having clean sheet is a good result for a top 4 EPL contender, coach Lampard needs to fortify that back line for him achieve good result in the upcoming matches  against big team like Manchester city, Liverpool and Arsenal.
