501  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is Satoshi? on: June 01, 2019, 10:13:51 PM
you guys know that the whole thing is called cryptocurrency and it comes from cryptography in a sense

so if someone that creates crypto software- what makes you think he uses his real name to sign something

i mean has anyone ever tried to decrypt the name Satoshi Nakamoto?

also another fact is - the 2 persons that did the pizza transaction are virtually nonexistent aswell, or has anyone ever met those 2 guys, just asking

So that leaves you with cryptocurrency invented by a name that might be encrypted aswell and the first transaction has been done by 2 persons that don't even exist

why dont you keep diggin folks?
I agree, Satoshi Nakamoto is simply a pseudonym for the project.
It really could be one guy, or a team of altruistic Cypher Punks. The fact the Satoshi Nakamoto hasn't spent any of his own Bitcoins speaks volumes on the state of mind the real entity has. What a selfless act of charity and kindness
   Look around you, we live in the age of Narcism, where the majority is concerned with self. Blockchain and Bitcoin project are open source.  
502  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't be too quick to judge ICOs on: May 31, 2019, 10:13:49 PM
I personally do not believe this statistics that 99% of ICOs are scam, because some ICOs fail do not mean they are all scam. I usually tell people that starting an ICO is like starting a new business, it might succeed immediately, it might fail presently but have a great future and it might fail totally beyond redemption. So because a project is failing to perform presently or fail totally do not mean it is a scam. Don't get me wrong here, I never said there are no scam projects but the rate is not as high as alleged. Judging a project based on its first few years is wrong, give it time to realize its potentials.
 Understandably, many people, including myself, have been scammed in one way or another by an ICO. I believe you're right about ICO'S. Every ICO isn't a scam. What started off as a decentralized means to raise money in the style of an IPO, has easily become a vehicle utilized by con artists to dupe unsuspecting investors out of their cash.
 However,  As with any new innovation involving finance, There will always be those who will utilize the sector for I'll intentions. I guess it comes with the territory. There are way too many successful projects that have passed, easily proving not all ICO'S are a scam. If I had practiced my due diligence correctly, I would not have joined a bounty that turned out to be a scam. Lesson learned! Undecided

Saw this article today and made me really think about this topic. What are your thoughts?

I feel like the KYC and AML companies such as Ciphertrace and Refinitiv are really helping with regulations and making governments feel better about crypto
I think that the more regulatory policies introduced the better! I'm just happy to be at the fulcrum of the Bitcoin movement. Clearly the more the governments accept Bitcoin, the higher the price will rise and the less volatile the market will become.
   For those that think regulation is bad, surely they are sadly mistaken, but not without reasonable doubt. Freedom without order is anarchy, as order without freedom is tyranny. When the freedom of cryptocurrencies converge with the order of governmental regulations, everyone profits. As long as the order doesn't stifle the innovation.

I most certainly hope so brother because this bull is long overdue. Naturally, the market was bound to pick up after
 a few corrections at one point or another. Even the institutional investors are starting to take public intrest.
505  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another Satoshi filed claim for Bitcoin Whitepaper on: May 31, 2019, 04:04:01 PM
With Craig Wrights disputed copyright claim on Bitcoin Whitepaper made in the the United States Copyright Office, he got many abusive response and still been able to pump his private currency upto 90%.
Now comes another one to challenge Craigs Claim,



A person called Wei Liu has filed for the copyright of Bitcoin Whitepaper.

https://www.coindesk.com/another-satoshi-second-copyright-filing-appears-for-bitcoin-white-paper
Satoshi Nakamoto is a Japanese name, no? This guy claims to be from China where anti-Japanese sentiment in China is among the strongest in the world. He's contradicting himself, who the hell is this guy supposed to be anyway? A poser most likely, in a world overrun with selfishness and vanity, I expect more to come forward in an attempt to get their 15 minutes of fame also.
    The real Satoshi will most likely never come forward, he/she is clearly hidden in plain sight. Satoshi went out of his/her way to remain anonymous. I doubt he/she breaks the law of concealment. Those with the ears to hear will know!
  Just my two cents!
506  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When will NBA teams start paying Bitcoin to their players? on: May 27, 2019, 03:06:02 PM
I know this is crazy for non-Bitcoiners, but for me, it's a possibility.

I came across an article from Bitcoinist about NFL players preferring to get paid in Bitcoin than fiat money. They're joining the revolution.

Source: https://bitcoinist.com/pay-in-bitcoin-nfl-players-join-russell-okung/

In the NBA, the Sacramento Kings are the first NBA team to accept Bitcoin payments via BitPay, and Golden State Warriors' sponsor, Rakuten, bought a crypto exchange.

I wonder when NBA players will start doing their own revolution by forcing their respective teams to pay them in Bitcoin?

I would love to see this coming, but what are your thoughts on this one guys. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Cheers!


Good to see awareness being raised these days, but anybody can recieve Bitcoin through Bitpay and other services that can convert your hard earnings into digital gold.Cheers, this feels like the year we hit the straight and narrow, I hope there's no more artificial pumps the rest if the year.
507  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Facebook will issue "GlobalCoin" before 2020 - What do you think about this? on: May 27, 2019, 02:15:10 AM
I have to tip my hat to Facebook for their realization of needing to introduce cryptocurrency to the masses. If anyone can reach the people, then it would have to be Facebook. Their reach alone extends around the globe. They will single handedly hip people to the utility of crypto currencies. Sweet!  
The only downside to this is the fact that Facebook is centralized and the main attribute that Satoshi was trying to push was decentralization. Still, this is going to be big!
508  Economy / Speculation / Re: 2020's gonna be lit!! on: May 27, 2019, 01:52:46 AM
Next year is gonna be a lotta excitement for all of us the Bitcoin community and cryptospace at large. Should this be anither "parabolic move," Bitcoin ia gonna soar high because

* Halving is on its way 2020
* and I'm hoping Facebook's "GlobalCoin" comes after that- (this is going to introduce about a Billion people to Bitcoin and crypto)
* Craig Wright's sh*t has been gotten over haha
lastly, another possible China FUD Smiley lol


Make sure you're hooked up onto your seat- it's gonna be an exciting ride hopefully Cheesy
let's not count our chickens before they hatch. Of course, up to this point, things are aiming to be spectacular for crypto next year at the current trajectory where pacing.
   However, we're still in the middle of the current year, so alot can change from now until then. Chances are though, an ETF will be passed shortly, because they keep delaying their decision, and it's only a matter of time before one is passed.
509  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin hit 100k in 2020? on: May 26, 2019, 11:05:19 PM
Bitcoin is about to get a lot more expensive than it is today,
So is it possible to see Bitcoin price hovering around 100k each by next year and why?


Source:   https://medium.com/@Amiono4/can-bitcoin-hit-100-000-in-2020-a4c424cc1d34  
I doubt it, $100k is alot to achieve from $8000 right now. Maybe the price will hit over $10k when an ETF is approved. It could very well go to $20k, but anything more would be inflated and would crash hard. Only time will tell for sure!
510  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Any Decent Exchanges? on: May 26, 2019, 08:31:03 PM
After the Binance hack, I no longer use Binance. Delayed withdraws, hacks, ect. I just don't want to deal with them anymore. So, with that being said, I want to find a new exchange for my crypto needs. I also, am not a fan of Coinbase/Coinbase Pro due to their Bitcoin Cash fiasco. I've been reading about several exchanges and HITBTC is one that keeps popping up. It seems like it has a decent amount of positive sentiment surrounding it (https://tipestry.com/topics/5ce9b551e528302571b89464/hitbtc-possibly-insolvent,-claims-new-report). What do you guys think? Is it worth using? Have any of you ever used this exchange?
Disclaimer:" I am not a financial advisor/ Lawyer/ or professional. I am simple here to share my opinion on the matter. Please consult  with you're local professional for any financial or legal advice. Cheers!"


  The price of a Binance token has skyrocketed, as binance is one of the best and most popular exchanges. It offers a wealth of tools and information for investors. They're AML/KYC compliant which is a plus.
  "Binance Info" gives you the play by play on the market and detailed reports on the coins in the market. It provides a necessary perspective and complete overview of some projects within the Blockchain secror.
511  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stable coin on: May 26, 2019, 08:18:33 PM
Pls I'd like to be enlightened on the importance of stable coin in the crypto space... I hear Facebook coin will be a stable currency... what are the use of stable coins??

A stable coin is exactly what it sounds like, a coin with stability, whereas stable =  an almost static price. If you buy Bitcoin and are afraid the bear might attack (downtrend), you could then lock your balance away with a stable coin and keep relatively the same amount of money you had before the bear attacked.
    If a stable coin is worth $1, the price will most likely stay very close to being a dollar, without fear of it crashing to $0, hence it being stable!
   Many stable coins are backed by real dollars, or assets in order to achieve stability.
512  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency Has Done me More Good than Harm?what about You? on: May 26, 2019, 08:10:26 PM
Ever since I got to know about blockchain and cryptocurrency,  there has not been a day I ever forgot to go online and read about something new.
Cryptocurrency has completely shaped my way of perceiving issues and dealing with them.
I can now draw reviews from projects analyze a projects Whitepaper etc
In doing all these my knowledge base have increased.
Last but not the least it has introduced me to extra social media channels like reddit,  put extra income on my table by allowing me to make adequate use of my social media channels.
Blockchain and Cryptocurrency has done me more good than harm
That's the most likely goal that Satoshi must have had when he created Blockchain and Bitcoin. I'm sure he wanted it to be decentralized in order to give the power of financial control back to the common folk as well as educate them. Why else would it be an open source code, if he didn't want people to see the project through his eyes, and then through their own?
513  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are ICOs dead? on: May 25, 2019, 07:36:44 PM
Interesting article about the death of ICOs and the emergence of IEO... https://cryptotradernews.com/investing-trading/are-icos-really-dead/


What do you guys think? I don't think ICOs are fully dead. They just need to be regulated in more efficient ways. Most ICOs from 2017-2018 never delivered on their promises because they were being ran by a bunch of assholes who didn't deliver squad... We need more regulation. Only then will ICOs get better imo.
The ICO as we know it is dying, for one, nobody who holds one wants to be labeled as offering unregistered securities. The IEO is the more complaint way to go. It gives reassurance back to the investors, ICO's are a kind of wild west, IEO plays with kid gloves on and has referee's.
 
514  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: To late to invest in Bitcoin or other cryptoCurrencies or related products? on: May 25, 2019, 07:30:06 PM
Some of our friends keep telling us that

I missed the Bitcoin train...
I missed to buy altcoins when they where super cheap
I should have invested in this project, when i had the chance
etc etc

Do you think its to late to jump on the Crypto and Blockchain train?

This is what we think and what we answer our friends!

Do you feel that you already missed the opportunity to invest? Relax!

The blockchain train haven't left the station yet.

as a matter of fact

The train has not even arrived at the station. We are super early!


What is you answer to people that says or think its to late to invest in the Crypto Space?

Get in once you're comfortable enough with the tech, knowing everything there is to know about it. Build a database of useful websites related to crypto. You should have everything bookmarked, from exchanges, to market indexes.
  The crypto community seems frightening at first site but becomes easier on the eyes over time.
515  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: From 0$ to 100k $ trip on: May 25, 2019, 07:23:47 PM
Cryptocurrency world is full of possibilities to earn but it is always connected with huge risk. Not many of us are brave enough (or stupid) to invest hard earned money into high risk coins (below top 500 CMC) but those are the once with the highest returns if you are lucky enough to spot them.

Coins out of top 500 CMC are worth ~$ 2mil. Those will be worth $2 bil if it will hit top 10 CMC. That's x1000. That's 200 000$ out of 200$.

How about risking money that are not hard earned?

0$ to 100k $ trip:
1- Perform energi airdrop (220$ worth coins listed on kucoin (top 150 CMC) - link in signature) - 30 min of work
2- invest it in few coin out of top 500 CMC (f.e. ATLANT - STO with $2 mil marketcap) - spend as many times as you want. The better research you perform the higher possibiliti you have to spot biggest gainers.
3- leave it for few years

Coins that i'll be looking for after energi payout:
1- STO (Security Token Offering) - tokens that are not "utility tokens" as others but securities. Owning them makes you "shareholder". You will get weekly/monthly/annually rewards which will be equal to part of company incomes and it will be guarantee due to smart contract... This will be huge.

2- Ai coins - I think that IA based companies will be next bubble (not only in crypto). It will be as huge as .com bubble. As crypto market is very often compared to start-up market lots of investors will come here to invest in IA start-up seeing how US stocks based on IA are being pumped. And this bubble will be huge since AI (or rather ML - we may never see true AI) is a groundbreaking technology and its impact on the profits of companies is almost impossible to estimate (thous every new price level will be accepted).

Do you have any good coin below top 500 CMC to start this 100k$ trip with them? Maybe top 200?


Sure, it's wise to keep a diversified portfolio of coins and tokens. The top 500 is cool and all, but the way I see it, the only way to make money from the ground up is to invest time and energy first within coins that aren't in the top 500 yet.
   I like coins that nobody is talking about, there are a few hidden gems out there for sure that will moon and end up taking their rightfull place within the top 500. I usually read a bunch off white papers and check out startup teams and things of that nature.
  After a while, it gets easier weeding out the clones from the innovators.

12 minutes of humor  Cheesy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_mjKUO2-mo&t=632s


David Gerard is a bitcoiner's fake and fraud.   Gerard palms himself off as a bitcoin expert but he's a Trojan horse troll out to take bitcoin down.   Charlie Shrem shows off his stinky feet to a national audience, embarrassing the cryptocurrency community.  Craig Wright says he's Satoshi Nakamoto.  Bitconnect is baaaaaack and the police state foists yet another new fangled fraud on the gullible public, this time with facial recognition technology.
I too, doubt Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto and it's pretty simple to understand why. If you do a serious overview of everything that is Bitcoin and the Blockchain from day one, up until now, you will see that Satoshi is some sort of altruistic modern day savior who would never come forward into the limelight, do to it defeating the entire purpose of the project.
   It would take away from legend which has a certain mysterium about it.

Full article: https://www.unblock.news/popular/lil-pump-now-accepts-bitcoin-as-payment
Well, reguardless of my distaste of the entertainer and his music, I must say he gets my stamp of approval for pushing the envelope on adoption.
    If any body can reach the younger demographic, it would definitely be a young entertainer like this kid. Kudos Pump, Kudos! Praise the youth, his adoption, literally means those who follow him become potential adoptees.
Good news for crypto!
520  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is IEO better than ICO? on: May 04, 2019, 06:16:53 PM
To me ICO and IEO are somehow identical only the main difference is that things are easier in IEO, the question is does making it easier change the overall view of perspective regarding investors or its just the same making IEO a faster or more convenient version of ICO, it bothers me a lot since for me making it more convenient is a side grade more than an upgrade since it just offers extra utility and it does not make IEO better than ICO.

Tell me what you think, is IEO better than ICO or they are just the same with only difference in method.
Overall, I think that IEO is taking a general step in the name of regulation. I can applaud the efforts made by most IEO's to act complacently with regulations.
   IEO will give investors less of a headache when it comes to doing thorough research for a company, especially if it's backed by a prestigious exchange.
