•In converting Bitcoins to money is still called trading?  

•In connection with the percentage or price of bitcoins I will go and exchange it to buy in lower price value and sell and high?

•Will that be a good help? for make my money anonymously grow?
When you do convert something you are actually doing trading. Buy low sell high is the common thing on doing trading which you would definitely sell out your coins or stash when you do see that you are already on profits but this thing isnt really easy to do specially when emotions of seeing negative profits or folio would really be there.By just holding bitcoin for long term you would already make it grow and holding bitcoin is anonymous and no one could able to find out regarding on your holding no matter how much thousands you do hold on.
5102  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Xapo or blockchain? on: November 19, 2017, 09:22:24 AM
xapo is good but blockchain is better

Probably yes, Xapo is the good kind of wallet ( but like you said ) Blockchain is much better than Xapo because it's secure.

I would go for the Blockchain because its more secure and also way more trusted than than the other wallet of these days to be honest.
I'm also using blockchain.info for my bitcoin , and yes that is good wallet because its the best for the online wallet and there are 2FA authentication to secure our bitcoin.
If we talk  about the security of both of them then I think both of them are very secure.. I am using both of them from an year and I do not have faced any issue from them while if we talk about the expenditure then I will suggest for to use blockchain because the fees of blockchain is very low and you can set your own fees while xapo has a high fees.
We do have the same opinion here about between two wallet and if we do try to compare the fees then i would really go for blockchain since we can able to set dynamic fees regarding or depending on our needs on how long it would be confirmed.On what i am doing when i do see that the network isnt congested i do set only small fees lower than on the amounts suggested just to save up more satoshis on such transfer.I dont bother on the confirmation because it wont really took so long since network isnt too traffic and im sure that transactions would really be broadcasted easily.
5103  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it safe to participate in ICO's? on: November 18, 2017, 08:46:41 PM
Right now there are many ICOs coming out, is it really safe to participate in any of it and spend that much? In participating ICOs I have high hopes that these coins could be the next Bitcoin or other currencies that are really going up in the market.
you does not actually join in ico, you gamble there because you are not sure what is the outcome.You are taking the risk between losing and gaining because you may be scammed or get something in return. Most icos that are coming out is scam, not all but most of them so you should be careful when participating an ico, do your own research to know if it is worthy to be trusted.

Some people see ico as a multiplication method for their money. This is very false. It's safe if and only if you really searched for the project team and the wihte paper. Otherwise, no safe zone in ico.
In my opinion, the ICO's is very dangerous. You do not know someday, you can lose money because it is high risky. The ICO's made the cryptocurrency world became a bad place in the eye of some investors in past time. You can see the Chinese government have banned ICO's to keep safe their economy. It like a threat to cryptocurrency for  the future.
You are just talking on some scenario which i dont see that it is really major problem but government would really be alarmed if this behavior or practices would still continue. Talking about on investment side on ICO it is indeed dangerous in the sense as investors we would really lose up money if we did put our money on the wrong one.This is why participating any of them would really have always the risk or being tied up already which we should really be ready anytime on what would be the outcome.
5104  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: which is better? trading crypto or trading stocks? on: November 18, 2017, 08:14:11 PM
hi guys, i was wondering where should i invest? invest in trading crypto or in trading stocks? which is more profitable?

i need your opinion guys, thanks
These kind of questions have been asked already for how many times on this forum but i would still answer you regarding into this. When you do see on how fast you to make profits then i would go for crypto because prices are too volatile compared to stocks which means the more its movement the more profits it would be but depending on how good you are on riding with the waves. High Profitability= High risk and this thing we should really always put it on our minds. I have done stock trading it is really good though but harvesting time is longer that you anticipated.
5105  Economy / Economics / Re: Regulating Bitcoin on: November 18, 2017, 07:43:48 PM
I think it needs to be done to regulate Bitcoin because this currency is very freely used by many people for crime. But just for the use, but if regulating the Bitcoin price I refuse.

well regulations were needed just to filtered the launches of ico for it became too in demand that sone are launched just to scam people, regulation to minimize fees , but it might result also for additional taxes or worse banning when government didn't finds a way to benefit on it.
In terms of taxation the regulations might affect the cryptocurrency user community. But in terms of usage accessibility, the regulations will give users the freedom to use bitcoin and avoid the fear of governments interruptions. Another major flaw that happens is the control, somehow an central power tries to keep track of the user which is not good for the functioning of a decentralized asset.
Keeping track of user’s activities? I don’t really see anything wrong with that, and I won’t even bother if that was to really happen. Only those that wouldn’t like to see that happen are those that are into illegal stuffs and making use of dark webs to carry out their evil plans.

I don’t do anything evil, so I wouldn’t mind. Being legalized and regulated will give us freedom to do almost anything with bitcoin, but it can never be legalized and controlled by government, because it is decentralized. Government can only control something that is within its country.
The true freedom for me is that i do have the full control of my money and not all people who do love anonymity are those people who are doing illegal stuffs because most people do really love that no one could watch their activities even on their legal spendings. Regulating bitcoin wont really be possible because we do know that bitcoin is a decentralized stuff this is why most government doesnt like bitcoin and cant be easily adopted into the place. They do only see the negative impacts of bitcoin not on its benefits.
5106  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it time to Buy Alts & Hold??? on: November 18, 2017, 06:48:06 PM
Now that segwit2x is called off, yes, it is really the time and great time to buy altcoins. It is their time to shine because segwit2x killed them before now they should rise.
To those who would want to take the chance, now is just their best shot. Since the news was dropped, a lot of the altcoins are already springing up and we are going to end up having a huge push to the moon for most of them very soon. Any smart person now will quickly take to the exchanges to do the needful.

But in my experiences, altcoins are only good for short term and long term holding is not at all recommended. We must focus on highly established coins when concern about long term holding. But unfortunately after litecoin and eth, I am not seeing anything suitable for long term holding.
When it comes to long term holding on Altcoins then only a few would really be worth to hold up and as you said most people or trader as of now do focus on short trading because they do like to see up profits on shorter time unlike on planning to hold up for how many months to come. For those people who did buy on those dips or most of altcoins are on reds do definitely on profits as of now because most of them have recovered already which means its an was an easy profits on them. This kind of dips on prices are really opportunities to make money.
5107  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Many Bittrex accounts were hacked on: November 18, 2017, 04:28:12 PM
Source I wrote above.... it looks like this.
https://ibb.co/nfmYF6
So you do mean there are unusual log-in attempts on some accounts which is possibly being compromised but telling to public about the thing of many account were hacked then its not appropriate because you cant post a proof that there are lots already and bittrex would make an announcement if theres a breach or security flaws. Theres might some instances but would really be few in numbers this is why we should always set 2fa or secondary layer of security on our accounts specially if theres a fund inside it or coins being stored up.
5108  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin dies does altcoin die? on: November 17, 2017, 04:46:49 PM
Bitcoin is a very popular crypto coin today, we know that Bitcoin will be very expensive in the future but I imagine if Bitcoin die, whether there will be hope for the future of altcoin? because most altcoin exchanges are to bitcoins
your opinion is highly appreciated. Smiley

If bitcoin dies, I Dont think altcoins would die as well. Bitcoin is just a part of cryptocurrency, and there are lots of altcoins that could take the place of bitcoin once it dies, ethereum is a good example of altcoin that even though what happens to the value of bitcoin, whether it goes up or die, it wont be affected by it.
Right. If Bitcoin dies, it will be an opportunity for the others cryptocurrency continue developing stronger. For sure that Ethereum will take the first place from Bitcoin. However, Bitcoin won't die and it will take the first place very long. Absolutely Bitcoin's death won't affect to the others altcoin.
If bitcoin die then ETH would really be a strong candidate for the top spot if we do try to look on the rankings we would able to make assumptions or clearly see which one would possibly take the spot and i would go for ETH and the situation on where bitcoin would die i dont think that altcoin will die too because some of them are independent on bitcoin itself which means even no matter happen into bitcoin they would still exist and wont really be affected on the event. The thing here is that altcoins developer will really strive harder to get that top spot and would be the next kind of crypto.
5109  Economy / Economics / Re: Central of the Philippines Recognizes Bitcoin on: November 17, 2017, 03:05:56 PM
Bitcoin being recognized by the Bangko Central will also open doors for our Overseas Contract Workers to invest their hard earned money and earn additional income.   At the same time, Bitcoin currency can be accepted as a form of remittance from different countries which is also good for our country as well. This is really an awesome news.
I think it will be more accepted as a payment system where they can use for remittances but not as an investment.
Majority of the filipino still do not understand about bitcoin and our media is not showing the positive side of bitcoin, it will take time before they can understand and that will only happen when bitcoin are rampantly use in big countries and our government will support it.
When it comes into investment i would say that most filipinos would really be keen or hesitant on that one specially bitcoin is only new into their ears and knowing that they do experience scams online then i would say it would takes time for them to engage and i would say only few % of filipinos are totally trusting bitcoin as of now considering that PH do have huge population but only a few who do aware on bitcoins existence. They are really recognizing bitcoin but only for its original purpose which is a innovative new way payment system.

5111  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How to start investing with 1$? on: November 17, 2017, 01:38:17 PM
So here I am with about 1.5$ in my poloniex account today. What advice would you give me to make this 1.5$ into 150$ by the end of next year that is 2018?

Anyplace I could get to know about pump n dumps before they happen? Any particular cheap crypto that I should hold onto?
It's extremely hard picking 1 alt to invest 1,5$ and expect to get 150 even if it's more than 1 year. But it's definitely possible by doing daily trade if you have some experience on it. It's better to get some job and invest some of you wage later rather than working hard in daily trading from 1,5$ starting capital.
I agree on this one which $1.5 starting capital would really be a tough job for you to put up extreme effort to make it big but it isnt bad at all to challenge yourself on this kind of goals because it will really benefit you later on when you do know on the things you should now but most likely on this kind of situation that $1.5 capital of yours would really be hard to make it big even though in holding because you wont really earn too much unless if you do hit the shit coins which do have 1 sat and then double its price in no time or even more then its achievable but really on slim chances.
5112  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Can I open up a local shop and sell bitcoins for cash? on: November 17, 2017, 03:35:26 AM
You would probably need a license for it . One thing that I have extensively read from fellow traders in the US, is that its hard to sell bitcoins without the license.I also don't expect you would get a serious and completely accurate reply on btctalk, so would suggest asking a lawyer rregarding this.
Absolutely right which you would really need a lawyer first to ask regarding on the regulations of  your government when it comes into this kind of business specially it involves on crypto knowing that most governments doesnt like it. Having a consultation first with a lawyer is the best possible initial move that you should do so that you wont risk yourself into any trouble when you do plan to build that kind of business. I would say this thing would be profitable for you but would really still depend on the interest or the number of people on your place do know about bitcoin or crypto.
5113  Economy / Speculation / Re: IS BITCOIN BUBBLE OR NOT? on: November 16, 2017, 10:18:18 PM
The price of BITCOIN went down to and extent today. What is your take on Bitcoin been bubble or not?

There had been many definition of a bubble. Honestly speaking, Bitcoin can also be a bubble since there is that sudden surge in price and it is still expanding right now. The next question is this: Will it pop anytime of the day and people will lost the money they invested into it? Nothing can be sure of what would be but I do personally believe that because Bitcoin has a correction mechanism it can be able to avoid the "pop" and can one day reach a very high value...astronomical surge as they say. By the way, bubble can happen to anything and this should not be attached solely to Bitcoin.
People have different perceptions regarding on this matter which some would see that bitcoin is a bubble and some would say no its not but in my own side i would go 50-50 on both ways because there are really times that i can treat it as a bubble when it comes into its sudden price inflations and deflation which it do really depend on a significant event which do somehow turns out to be manipulated or being destined to be done. Not a bubble in the part that bitcoin is a volatile thing which prices do normally corrects after a sudden price increase.

Some of them would able to live without bitcoins existence specially into those coins which can be trade directly with fiat itself like USD.They would able to survive or stand on their own feet even there would be no bitcoins but come to think that this would really be an opportunity to alts too get the spot on where bitcoin have left to. If bitcoin dies then it will really leave a big impact into crytpocurrency prices  but this thing wont easily happen if we do try to see the interest of community on bitcoin its hardly for it to get die easily.
5115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What the hell ! Please everybody look at prices before buying BCC !! on: November 16, 2017, 07:09:28 PM
not always the market situation is good, see now its price has decreased and I think bitcoin cash will continue to fall until the beginning of the year.
The hype is already over and now people are moving out somewhere else with their profits and for those people who did bought on peak prices would really suffer loses as of now. Sudden pump on BCH is surprising which people do decide that they would buy it but i assume it is connected on b2x fork cancelation which they tend to divert their attention into the past fork coin of bitcoin.
5116  Economy / Economics / Re: who own the world's biggest bitcoin wallet? on: November 16, 2017, 06:39:10 PM
I think NBI are holding the biggest bitcoin so far, coz  what happened to Mt. GOX Although 200,000 bitcoins have since been "found", the reasons for the disappearance—theft, fraud, mismanagement, or a combination of these—were initially unclear
I do suspect the same thing too which NBI do hold up large amounts of bitcoin as of now and for sure they are keeping it and dont expose into public into those holdings since that amounts is already huge considering on the price of a whole bitcoin as of now.I dont even think that satoshi holds up large amount but who knows? and even on second one no one really knows who holds them and whose the one who posses it because of anonymity of bitcoin these kind of questions would really remain unanswered.
5117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How long is the Bitcoin's life for you? on: November 16, 2017, 05:43:37 PM
Can altcoins set up their own systems and beat bitcoins?
I do not think that an alt that can beat bitcoin has been created yet, alts will be able to create their own ecosystem and are going to be good investments if you are able to choose the right one, but bitcoin is still the number one coin and it seems this is going to continue for a very long time, only a coin that is superior to bitcoin in all aspects and it is able to generate enough hype will be able to surpass it.
Bitcoin would really remain as the King no matter what we do know its one of its kind and those altcoins are just next to it which means surpassing bitcoin or replacing it into its top place would really be a challenge on each coin developer but its not really impossible thing because nothing on this world that cant be replaced which means its really possible but on slim chances for sure because if we do try to see the community of bitcoin it is huge compared to alts which we can normally see on its value which coin have been supported stronger.
5118  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why people fear about BITCOIN on: November 16, 2017, 04:44:51 PM
Because, bitcoin is still facing questions surrounding its legitimacy and security. As investors and adopters fear a major government taking decisive action against the currency, any signs that government figures are considering regulation can impact its price.
Its one of the reasons but i would say the main thing why do people is afraid because of its volatile price and they cant able to use it on offline shops just like what we are doing on our local fiats.There are lots actually which as you said security and legitimacy is still on question. This is why for those people who do decide to risk into bitcoin have experienced rewards because of the earning opportunity do it had. We should not really fear on investing on bitcoin because it does really have the potential but we must be sure on investing the amounts that we can afford to lose up.

5120  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH price soaring. Are you going to move some BTC into ETH? on: November 16, 2017, 03:43:05 PM
Whoever managed to short BTC when it was trading at about eight thousand must have made a real killing out of it. People are only going long and expect to see always gain, while they forget that they can short the market as well and make money while the value is dropping. Instead of investing your money to ETH, just short it, you'll make just as much money as re-investing your money somewhere else. That's if you're a trader. If you're investing you should already have a lot of ETH stakced and shouldn't wait for forks to happen so that you buy ETH. If you're in it for the long-term you better buy some ETH and stick to it, it doesn't make sense to jump from one coin to another if you are a long-term investor.

I mine some ETH and I will keep them for the long  term.

I'm plannin to follow the same way, I'll build a mining rig for ETH mining but they said ETH will pass to POS system. This would be bad. Otherwise, its mining would be really nice for long term investors.
Better to pass up if you do plan on small scale ETH mining rig because it wont really be worth of for sure but those rigs you would made can be used on other coins though. It is really pain in the eyes to see how many percentage do difficulty jump on a short period of time which means it would really give less profits overtime but well if you do have the plans because on its potential then mining it and keeping it for longterm is also a good choice too.Price of ETH did decrease in previous weeks but now it is already kicking in.
