501  Economy / Speculation / Re: price after segwit? on: July 05, 2017, 06:07:24 PM
So segwit will supposedly be activated this Fall right? This should mean blocks are no longer near full, transaction fees go back down to hopefully 10 cents or so, and sending bitcoin will go back to taking tens of minutes instead of hours.

Right.

What will all this do to the price?

This will result to a tremendous increase on Bitcoin's price. Though I am uncertain of what will really happen, I am on the positive side. This will be a milestone for Bitcoin and investors will start pouring in. So there is no doubt about the Bitcoin price increase.

Will this first step in scaling be the sign investors need to really start jumping in on Bitcoin?

Yes.

Will it be the sign the USA SEC needs to approve the Bitcoin ETF, allowing people to invest in bitcoin more easily?

Yes also.

Assuming bitcoin growth slows down this summer, will segwit create another boom this Fall like we've had this Spring, sending bitcoin possibly close to $10,000 by end of year?

Whatcha think?

Bitcoin will definitely slow down before segwit. This is due to some people selling coins because they are afraid of its end result. However, after the activation, about a week or so, we will see the tremendous growth I was saying earlier. 10K is a bit much, though.

I see a chart  Grin

Kidding aside, I can see the foot of the mountain there. Bitcoin is just starting, we will see sooner or later the continuous increase on Bitcoin's price. And due to the past progress of Bitcoin, we cannot neglect that Bitcoin will still go up. Higher and higher, higher that you anticipated. This is just the start, patience is a must.
503  Economy / Speculation / Re: Next Milestone for bitcoin?? on: July 05, 2017, 05:41:43 PM
As we see bitcoin start rising again what you predict about bitcoin's price by the end of 2017?? I predict bitcoin's price will be in between 3200$ to 3300$ by the end of this year.

Though we see some increase on Bitcoin's price, we cannot neglect the fact that we can still feel/see the bear behavior of the market. We still see decreases that indicates that we are in a bear market. Add also the fact that some are selling their coins because of the upcoming August first.

However, since I am positive that all will end well, we might be looking at $4000 (at least) per Bitcoin at the end of this year.

506  Economy / Economics / Re: Who supplies us bitcoin? on: July 04, 2017, 07:35:34 PM
Bitcoin, in my opinons has had it up and downs, but who supplies us bitcoin? Faucets can only supply so much before it gets closed down. So that's not a big supplier. Working for bitcoin has declined. I used to make videos and earn bitcoins. But that site has closed down like every other sites or faucets. So who supplies us bitcoins nowadays? Tell us please!

It is best to clarify your question. Are you after where does Bitcoin come from or where can you get (earn) Bitcoin?

If the main concern is about its supplier and where Bitcoin came from, Bitcoin is being mined. A new block of Bitcoin is born when a block of transactions are confirmed and done plus a bonus amount of Bitcoin is produced as a reward for the miner. So basically, miners are the suppliers of Bitcoin.

But if you are asking where you can earn some, it is just like fiat. Any way you can earn fiat, you can earn Bitcoin that way too. A famous way of earning Bitcoin here is by joining bounty campaigns, trading, and investing.
507  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin Volatility Be Controlled? on: July 04, 2017, 07:23:17 PM
Bitcoin's volatility is associated with Bitcoin's demand and supply in the market. As long as Bitcoin's price is dependent on its number of demand with respect to its available supply then stability in Bitcoin's price is difficult to attain, if not completely impossible. A possible way to cope with this is eliminating the 21 Million limit to Bitcoin and have a supply just like fiat which is infinite (this is very unlikely to happen and impossible on my part). Having a mass adoption could be a way (I am not entirely sure of this) but the price will be so high and it is not too practical for an individual. The very best that I can think of is using Bitcoin as a currency and eliminating the "Bitcoin as an investment." This way, if Bitcoin behaves like a currency more than an investment, stability will be achieved.

509  Economy / Speculation / Re: downtime soon ? on: June 28, 2017, 08:33:43 PM
there are many reports which states that the coins sized my GOVT agencies will be auctioned soon...
if we do some calculation i think there are aprox 1000 BTC (maybe more) which are freeze by agencies from various counties

if i remember correctly Silkroad admin alone had 300+ BTC..

now if those reports are correct
and if those BTC again come to circulation
does it mean we can expect a huge decrease in BTC rate in future ?



Why is this thread posted on both Economics and Speculation Board? Link to Speculation Board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1989471.0

I'll answer this thread again.

The auction will not affect the price of Bitcoin since the Bitcoins won will not be available in the market, instead it will just be transferred to the personal wallet of the winner. Just a mere peer-to-peer transaction and p2p transactions never affected the price at all. However, if a large portion of the Bitcoin won was sold then a big dump will definitely occur.
510  Economy / Economics / Re: If you have a lot of bitcoin, should you spend it or save it? on: June 28, 2017, 08:25:08 PM
Let's say I have 2.1 BTC And I don't spend it. Will it go up a few cents if I save it? Cause in my wallet I have up to about 50 cents worth of bitcoin. I started up with 13 cents 7 months ago. Now all of sudden I have bitcoins worth 50 cents. What do you call this? I only made that one 13 cent deposit. Nothing else!

If you have a lot of Bitcoin and you do not necessarily need to spend them then hold 'em as tight as you can. Having large amount means a huge profit when it spiked upward. If ever you need to spend then sell some and hold the remaining coins. Hold your coins while accumulating more, that should be the best strategy in the world of Bitcoin.
511  Economy / Economics / Re: Long term argument for bitcoin on: June 28, 2017, 08:22:21 PM
Hello,

Most of you are confident with the long term for Bitcoin. Yet some altcoins has the same features so why are you so confident about bitcoin and not about litecoin instead?

I compared them and approximatevily the same assets!
The only difference is that bitcoin was the first, is it that important?

It is a matter of trust.

Yes, there are many altcoins out there that has the same feature as Bitcoin that is good for long-term investments. However, if it is not trusted by the people then you might get profit very slow or will not profit at all. Since Bitcoin was around before these alts came to existence, Bitcoin is trusted by the most people so they prefer Bitcoin over others. Having the same potential as long-term investment does not mean the have the same ROI within a specific span of time.
512  Economy / Speculation / Re: How can you know it is the last dip? (Bitcoin) on: June 28, 2017, 08:05:25 PM
It is an absolute impossibility to pin point what will be the bottom of a current downtrend on Bitcoin's price because Bitcoin is uncertain at all times. Some might give you a correct answer but it is a pure luck and coincidence. It is difficult to keep track and be aware of all the happenings in the cryptosphere. However, past experiences may help in having a good decision in buying and selling Bitcoin. History shapes the future. It may be difficult to learn these tactics but in the end it will go only from your instinct.
513  Economy / Speculation / Re: A big old correction going on... on: June 28, 2017, 07:45:58 PM
Just saying...

Where will it stop?

Somewhere down the road.

I think this is not a typical correction happening. the drops may be caused by some people who panic sell because they are scared about Bitcoin crashing due to the uncertain effect of the activation of Segwit. And include the fact that we are on a bear market. As for the current trend of Bitcoin, it is slowly recovering and I do not know if a drop will occur again. We are approaching Australia since it's only days before their formal acceptance of Bitcoin.
514  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are we going to 5,000 $/btc ? on: June 28, 2017, 07:41:06 PM
Yes, we are going there but we cannot know exactly when. This year is possible but it is more likely to happen next year (2018) during its first half. We are on a bear market and Bitcoin is behaving berserk lately, no certain destination. Though we have Australia on July, the raise in demand is being countered by the fears for the upcoming segwit activation. And since India is next in line after Australia, 2018 is the best possible year for 5,000 USD per Bitcoin.

NO.

The auctioned Bitcoins will be sent to the personal wallet of the person/s who won the bidding. And by definition, a peer-to-peer transaction of Bitcoin will not affect the price since it never went through the market before being held again. So there is no need to worry about this stuff. However, if the winning person sell his Bitcoins then a huge decrease will surely occur (supposing that he sold a large portion which is very unlikely).
516  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: India's small merchants accepts bitcoin on: June 27, 2017, 06:49:50 PM
****8****

https://qz.com/1009386/bitcoin-accepted-here-the-tiny-family-restaurant-in-india-thats-embraced-virtual-currency/

The government of India is nearing to accept bitcoin in their country as a mode of payment. With that upcoming adoption small merchants are now thinking to accepts bitcoin as a form of payment in exchange for their goods.

But even without the governments declaration  the Suryawanshi restaurants in Bengaluru’s Indiranagar and Whitefield neighbourhoods  accepts bitcoin as payment. The reason why this small store accepts bitcoin is due to the owner who is a bitcoin enthusiasts and was accepting bitcoins since 2013.

With the governments move, soon many small merchants will be following Suryawanshi's example.


It is a very wise decision. Accepting Bitcoin as a mode of payment when their government is in the process of legalizing Bitcoin in their country. It is just like the old saying, "the early bird catches the worm." With their early move, when the time comes and the Bitcoin was officially legalized in India, they will surely greatly benefit from it.

Three more hours to go and I believe NVO is already a successful venture. I guess everyone wanted a Decentralized Exchange and Multi wallet. Continuing my support from Twitter. Lets the countdown begin. Smiley

Yes, and I believe that NVO is already successful just on the first week of the crowdsale. It is no doubt a wonderful concept and the engagement of many investors is the very proof of that.
518  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Volatility - major reasons for ?! on: June 27, 2017, 06:39:26 PM
Price fluctuation of btc is largely affected by btc demand in the market. This changes over time, thus creating a rise in price, is also one of the opportunities to make a profit..Market stability is maintained only when btc supply and demand are close together, so btc prices will stabilize.

Yes but not only the demand, the supply also plays an important role in the fluctuation of Bitcoin's price. Bitcoin's price is dictated by the number of demand with respect to the available supply in the market so both demand and supply have their roles. And as to what you've mentioned (I will add the supply), bothe demand and supply changes over time, thus making the price vary depending on the demand-supply relations.

The stabilization of Bitcoin's price is not dependent on the closeness of BTC's demand and supply. Even they are far apart, stabilization may also occur considering that their proportions grows simultaneously.
519  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto Bloodbath on: June 27, 2017, 06:25:59 PM
Now is the time to buy the dip and fill yer bags.

I also believe it is. Buying now when the price is somewhat low is a great opportunity to people who would want to buy more Bitcoin. By buying at a smaller amount, if the price spiked high then a major profit is very likely. Buying in the dips is always a good strategy. And by holding your coins within the correct time span, you will surely gain much than you anticipated.
520  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the current price drop considered a normal phenomenon? on: June 27, 2017, 05:11:02 PM
Not only in Bitcoin and Ethereum, but at least 90% of the cryptos prices are going down at this moment.  Many Youtubers said that this is normal in the cryptos space, are they correct?  I am not in this market long enough to understand this.   Huh

The decline on the price of Bitcoin is always normal. Bitcoin is very volatile and seeing it goes up or down is very normal. Other factors may also contribute to this decline such as the August 1, 2017 calendar mark that maybe brought fears to some new Bitcoin users. No matter the reason about these current declines, nothing is to worry about and treat every price changes as normal.
