5341  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-11-08]US SEC Not Ready to Come Out Soon With Final Bitcoin ETF Decision on: November 09, 2018, 08:51:50 PM
In other revelatory news, water is wet.   Roll Eyes

I'd be surprised if they gave the thumbs up for an ETF before 2020 at this rate.  The establishment clearly aren't ready for us yet.  And I'm okay with that, because I'd rather see greater numbers of real people adopting Bitcoin before the floodgates open and the traditional finance parasites all invade at once.  That way, when ETFs are eventually approved, it'll be more difficult for the so-called "market makers" to manipulate volume and price.


Care to rephrase this in english?  It sounds like machine translation or machine generated text.  

There has been a noticeable decline in grammar with a few of their articles lately.  More proofreading required, perhaps.

Same here, It isn't something I am in hurry to see, I prefer to see the adoption than a decision from them. Even if an ETF is approved within 2 years it won't help much the Bitcoin market. Perhaps with fresh money injected but the average Joe isn't using it still, and that's what creates an economy.
5342  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Decentralized Exchange out there? on: November 09, 2018, 08:30:00 PM
Most of the exchange which I used most often are Binance, Kucoin, Hitbtc, Livecoin, Coinbene, Coss, Bittrex, Idex, Cryptopia, Houbi, and Okex, those are good to me in my opinion. But still there are lot of exchange out there which I think you can probably choose that the best for you, you can check it at coinmarketcap.
Shapeshift is basically decentralized and has been around forever. Erik voorhes is the owner of shapeshift and he has been a trusted reliable guy in the crypto market so I will definetly suggest any company he has created so far. Dude has collected insane amount of money from people (at the amount of 50k bitcoins, not 50k dollars worth of bitcoin, literally 50 thousand bitcoins) and repaid everyone back with interest when he sold his satoshidice company.

He managed to make close to a billion dollars from his crypto works so far and get out at the perfect time when satoshidice was getting worse and worse and right now he probably couldn't sell it for a thousand bitcoin if he wanted to. He built coinapult for debit card systems and with bitinstant, right now shapeshift is his main focus and it has been a known great company so far.

I posted a thread in the Economy> Exchange sub-forum with a big list of decentralized exchanges. People don't know about it but there are so many of it already, it's up waiting for the users. But I suppose it will take again some time to be adopted. Personally I like Bisq.
Edit: Here  is the thread I am talking about: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4724064.msg42685352#msg42685352

Only the cryptos with real uses will have volumes, all others will be dead, used to trade from exchanges wallets. In the end, the market will clean itself and the top 100 of Coinmarketcap will look a lot more accurate to the reality. I can think of 4-5 category types of cryptos that will emerge with the time.
5344  Economy / Exchanges / Re: How do I get Polo to be more cooperative to me on this hacking case? on: November 09, 2018, 05:19:21 PM
They can't give a name to anyone other than a justice jurisdiction. Even with GPDR; ot would be the same. As explained in the second reply, you would better to contact fill a report to the police, then contact a lawyer if you feel the need. (if that worth to).

But there is another side too. Since they admitted one of the API Key has been compromised, the responsibility comes from their side. Like with banks, they are responsible for the customers' security. You should try to follow this route
5345  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Roger Ver: ‘Maybe I’ve Been Fooled’ by Craig Wright on: November 09, 2018, 08:43:31 AM
And the soap opera continues... This is just the type of drama news I like to read Grin Especially with Roger Ver in. The Bitcoin Jesus is no more
But at the end, it just creates a buzz to distract the sheeps (like me  Cheesy). There are always people trying to create indivision, it doesn't mean you have to buy all the stories btw

(Poor Roger Ver...)
5346  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Centralized vs Decentralized Exchanges - Which ones are better? on: November 08, 2018, 07:57:28 PM
I am using decentralized exchanges for trading as they list coins  I cannot find elsewhere. They are hacked sometimes, not user
friendly,  having  low volume and very bad support. Centralize exchanges are more safe ( the good ones offering refunding if hack happens ) .
Binance is opening a decentralized exchange as well, hardly waiting to see how it will look like.
Decentralization is better, because all transactions are more open, meaning they can be monitored because the server is not centralized. If centralization can occur data manipulation or prices that are very detrimental to the users. Therefore, many countries, especially developing countries, still apply centralization in everything, including trade.
Centralised exchanges are more secure trading platform. Because everyone expecting promising platform so most of the decentralized exchanges are not convenient to survive in trading so I recommend Centralised platform. Nowadays all are move to decentralized cryptocurrency so we are all looking for some centralised exchanges.

Regarding your point about security, I disagree with you. How many centralized exchanges have been hacked? And how many DEX? Got my point? With the decentralized, you have a full control over your coins which is not the case with others. DEXs are starting to be more popular recently and it has the demand to survive unlike what you think.
5347  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-11-08] SEC Charges EtherDelta Founder with Operating Unregistered Exchange on: November 08, 2018, 06:35:12 PM
If even the DEX are getting targeted by the SEC we are entering in a very sad period for the crypto world. Or at least not anything thing will be able to grow if you don't have a license or something like this in the US. Not all are from there, but the americans citizen are going to suffer the most with this over regulated policy.
5348  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Malta is the most favored Location for Crypto Exchanges? on: November 08, 2018, 02:31:09 PM
When you think about it, there are only 2 companies that moved to Malta and we are happy as much that we say "Malta is the most favored location" People say Malta is smart and open regulations about cryptocurrencies but they did nothing. They just gave their approval to accept 2 companies related to cryptos.
There are several others countries where a company can be located and operate without a problem. Germany, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland..
5349  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: The best Block Explorer with SegWit support from Bitupper | Partnership [ANN] on: November 08, 2018, 01:18:58 PM
The UI design needs to be improved a lot, to be honest. Maybe not the home page to make it like Google (I would still rethink the search bar menu) but the other pages need. Would be nice too to add some pages with statistics, as blockchain.com explorer does.

I read a lot of posts like this one, pretty boring when you know the user has no interest to participate in a discussion :/
I report it's usually moderated. And with the time, when you're used with their username you know what thread doesn't worth to open to read.

5351  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Blockstream's new blockexplorer on: November 08, 2018, 12:40:36 PM
Not many features so I have no use of, (maybe when Liquid will be more adopted but since it won't be the only one...) it's, of course, a good initiative. @squatter, don't worry within 6 months we will have +20 websites a Liquid explorer, polluting screens with banner ads.
5352  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: French Lawmakers to Lower Cryptocurrency Tax by 6 Percent on: November 08, 2018, 11:18:16 AM
The article isn't showing the reality. They increased something else to compensate for the loss in revenue. So if you decrease from 5% on a side but increase by 7% on the other side, then the citizens are still loosing. Easy manipulation. The country is pro taxes. Just for the oil, we have 17 taxes... Even when you're dead, you're still taxed on a lot of things.
5353  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ZEN] Horizen: Bringing Privacy To Life [EX ZenCash] on: November 07, 2018, 06:27:25 PM
snip
Now that Huobi is listing Horizen it's going to give a boost to the price yeah but also a trading volume increase which is good. That's exactly what exchanges Horizen needs to get in. So far the market is greatly responding to the news.  Grin Would be nice to see more DEX as well. But I know all this take time...
5354  Economy / Economics / Re: No Crypto Taxes Until 2030: Proposes New Ukrainian Bill on: November 07, 2018, 05:52:29 PM
It's currently just a proposition to the Parliament. This makes a huge difference. There is a long time between a proposition and the law itself, months/year. If it is accepted which is another challenges. While waiting for the Parliament decision; the previous rate (if any) still apply.
From the Ukrainian government, it can be considered as a message to say "wait and see later"
5355  Economy / Exchanges / Re: buying BTC with FIAT. on: November 07, 2018, 05:32:21 PM
Depending on which coin you're looking to buy/sell but since you say you're using Barclays and GPB, Coinbase may be one of the good options as it got a UK license recently and I know people from the UK struggled with GPB currency. And then when the money is in your Coinbase account you can also send the funds to your Coinbase Pro account or deal with coinbase only

5356  Economy / Speculation / Re: Market still stagnant! on: November 07, 2018, 04:04:52 PM
People were not happy 2 years ago, yelling Bitcoin is too volatile and now in 2018 people aren't happy because the market is too "stagnant". People should stop to hope the Bitcoin's value at $10k -$15k-$20k for 2018 and surely 2019. Instead, they should change their strategy to a long-term period something like 2 years.
5357  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading platforms are growing but what about investors ? on: November 07, 2018, 02:43:55 PM
On one hand , we have a more exchange to choose from and that would mean that exchange prioritize their customers and provide service  or else,  their customers will be snatched by the competition.  On the other hand,  we see less trader in the market while service provide run out loss.  I think at some point,  the trader /exchange ratio will balance themselves out!

Real traders don't use the cryptos exchanges they use some Trust Funds, Companies. Neither the investors that use the OTC market. Crypto exchanges are for us the mass population. But I do agree Exchanges will have to bring some innovations to stay on the top.
5358  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 2014 Online wallets? on: November 07, 2018, 02:29:40 PM
In the screenshot, the language used is Danish and BTC-e.com was available in English/Russian/Chinese only. (website screenshot)
Blockchain.info was already alive in 2014 and it had 10-15 different languages (2014 archived here)
Coinbase too was there already but I don't think it is the wallet here. Or MtGox was operating up to February or March
5359  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [LIST] Free EU bank accounts that you can be opened directly online on: November 07, 2018, 02:03:51 PM
@buwaytress
I have been there too before. The best option is to look at the neobanks, and not the recent ones because a lot of them rely on a 3rd party. The old one that is a subsidiary of a bank. They're less annoying when it's located in your country. I also belive it depends on the exchange...

I switched to the local neobanks, I tested 2 banks last month and all Tx from Kraken worked fine.

People can be really dumb sometimes and no logic. Sending money to someone who doesn't care about you. Don't people have better things to do with their income, no bills?
Twitter won't publish any comment regarding this scam, the company will just try to avoid responding to the bad buzz. Or just a generic reply
