Yeah, no government likes the idea of decentralization, but you also have to understand that you can decide to create a centralized coin on the blockchain anyway. We have so many of them starting with ripple, yes, it is centralized. Then we have the stable coins like USDT, TUSD and so on. Now, my point is that it is definite that most governments at a point will want to tap from the blockchain technology and discard the printing of money, since everything is simply going digital these days anyway and with that, we could just see other decentralized digital currencies going hand in hand.

There is no doubt the project is a very good one with some solid team backing it up. In fact, I would say the team is one of the reasons so many people have a huge hope on ADA's development in the long run. I would say there is a huge possibility for it to attain a huge height in the long run, if more money is poured into the market generally and we get to see some good demand for it, but $10 by December, is not actually a sensible call as far as I am concerned.

I also believe the $10 is a whole lot before December and it is not realistic. Like you said, that would require a very huge market cap and for now, we are not even close to experiencing some pretty huge market cap unless there would get to be some mainstream adoption in this short period which anyone would know the chances are slim.

ADA has potentials, but how far it goes in the short term or in the long term is best known with trend and time, but there are just certainly some things that are not realistic.

Yeah, it is really a very good thing considering that this would make a lot of the devs of each project to want to do their best to make their project stay relevant in the long run. If there is no competition, it is normal to always see nonchalant attitude and slow development since there is really nothing pushing the team. Nevertheless in this case, the push will be strong and definitely will make any team not want to end up slacking and missing out from the potential of their project in the future when another project end up overtaking them.

Yes, without generating their own volume in trading, I too believe no altcoin will be competitive enough to race against bitcoin nor against another altcoin. They muct develop their own community first to enjoy such an independent market swings.

Normally, the only place where you should be getting news is from the mainstream media, but the truth is that they are not effective. If people on their own can have knowledge about cryptocurrency and so on, with the whole resources online, know how to source for information to be able to verify news properly, join forums to initiate discussions and then be ready to learn from those who have been there from time, and deliberate on certain news, I want to believe things will get better.

Honestly, the fuel is really being added daily as all they care about is their pocket and not the development of this space at all. Gone are those days when you see journalism at its peak, every information is verified, news are always reliable and you get to at least use it substantially to make decisions, but now, if you are listening to news, you better just be discarding a whole lot of it, as they usually end up fake. Best is to just stick to your own knowledge, do proper research on any news and source out for its genuineness.

I am actually looking forward to that region myself as we could get to see a lot of demand in this support region and I am looking to see the price action on that support. Nothing has changed the downtrend movement and things might still go awry even before we start seeing some major bullish move in the market, but all the same, the market is giving a very good opportunity to buy and for ETH that has gone this low, it is definitely a good buy.

However it wants to drop or how far it is going to drop is only going to be known with time. Now, nothing is guaranteed in any market, Eth might still go lower than $150 or bounce within this region, but what is important at the moment now is to know that nothing can become a zero value unless it is dead. This is a market, bearish conditions are normal and it is nothing we can change, but as much as bearish moment is a part of the market, so we also have bullish moments and recovery as well.

Well, a lot of people here are in this space to get profit and this is a very honest answer. However, I only want to point out that this space is far more than the profit. The reason why so many people concentrate so much on the profit is the reason why the market has ended up becoming more speculative in nature and certain people do not get the fact that, as long as the currency aspect is not basically utilized, it makes no sense. The profit in the long run is just an additional benefit, but should never be the main reason why we are here, but to see the future of payment get better.

My personal choice is the bitmex/short futures way. If you want bitcoin to go up again first of all you need to manage to get the "make money from dropping prices" things to go away. If you have that it will make whales try to make money from that. If whales make money from that, they will not listen to us, and more and more people will leave because we are not making money and we will not get strong enough to resist to them.

My way would be closing shop for bitmex or short futures on cmeo or whatever and make sure no one can make money when bitcoin price is going down. That way whales will have to work with us and make money with us.

Yes, we have all made some mistakes one way or the other ourselves which means no one is above it. The only difference is just the level of mistake we ended up making, which in his case, it is one horrendous mistake to make. Nevertheless, no hope is lost, as there would still always be seasons to the market and at some point later on, if he is patient enough, he should still be able to get back on his feet. He is not someone I know, so feeling sorry for him should not even be a thing and no one is above mistake, so feeling despair for him does not sound cool as well. So, I am totally indifferent.

Sean Russell has decided to lay his own bed the way it deemed please, even though he ended up laying his bed wrongly, but what he should be doing now is to learn from his past mistakes, take a chill pill and then see how he would be able to make good decisions in the long run. We all make mistakes, it is how we pick up from the mistake that counts, but feel sorry for him or feel despair for him is none of my biz.

Anyone who wants to be holding ETH at the moment should be ready for some level of patience, but for a coin that has gone down that much, it is certainly a very good buy as far as I am concerned. No one sure knows the future, but the potential to go huge in percentage from where it is presently, is something that would bring about some good profit for whoever is buying the dips.

Nevertheless, I still do not trust any condition of alt at the moment as there is still a lot of FUD in the market, so it is still best to be careful.

As it is, it looks like most of the altcoin market want to go down the more which is one thing that still centers on the volatile nature of this market. Recently, the altcoins were showing some pretty good momentum, but I guess as we have it, the movement of bitcoin is actually not saving the day for the altcoins as they tend to respond to that pretty much. ETH has gone down hugely as well as other markets, what is important now is just to simply utilize look forward to buying at a good price for the long term.

Lol. You are not far from the truth! Basically, this is just a phase of the market and it usually does not last forever as there would always be a change in trend at some point. A lot of people really do not get it that as a market goes lower, that certainly bring about an opportunity to buy more since the long term anyway is still certain and this is just the beginning. From a thousand plus to hundred plus, that is for sure one good bargain.

Actually, bitcoin mining is more profitable for those who have been in mining right from the onset, and that makes it quite easy for them to expand over time, most especially with the value that skyrocketed few months back.

Moreover, I believe as we forge ahead, with developments coming in and getting to see mainstream adoption with a high level of usage as preferred currency, then we will get to see even a higher level of price than it is at the moment. All these do not certainly mean it would be a high price to buy as people will certainly buy what they feel they can just as we have it presently.

It is all just pure speculations as no one certainly know if the silk road was actually responsible or not and certainly there can be no proof of that. Over time, people have always wanted to find a reason for every market movement, but really, I do not see this market as respecter of news, as whatever is bound to happen based on the whales will happen anyway. As far as I am concerned, in a bear market, market can move down pretty fast, and whatever could have been the cause, there is still a lot of bear FUD in the market.

It may have been and it may not have been. One thing I am so certain of is that there is absolutely no way anyone can really tell how things would always turn out when it comes to a market and all that can just be done is to speculate this could be the cause of an up rise or a downtrend but whether this happened as a result of Goldman sach or not, it happened. Trying to find explanation of why a global market behaves in the way it has done is absurd to me.

You do not need several strategies to trade, you only need to find one strategy you are comfortable with, build on it, practice it very well until you are confident enough it will give you desired result and then keep to it. How to trade does not mean how to get into trading but it really means how to trade profitably, again it is not dealing only with making profits but also dealing on how to avoid losses or time wasting trades.

The mistake a lot of traders always make is to keep trying to use different strategies at once, without getting to master one, and that sets in room for a lot of mistakes as far as I am concerned. In this case, you really do not know where you stand in any trade and you just keep making guesses based on the fact that you can’t stick with a strategy.

A decentralized form of payment with no third party at all. Yeah! That is something we have always longed for and this is what cryptocurrency has brought. As much as some people may term it risky, it is still no doubt that it has a lot of potentials and it is creating a lot of value than even what fiat ever did. The blockchain technology certainly is the future and there is no doubt about that and that makes the fact that one way or the other, cryptocurrencies will still always stay relevant.

There will always be FUD news and rumors as long as the market is down. People tend to focus more on the negative side of things than the positive side, which is the reason why it is always so easy for someone to be calling death in scenarios like this. However, we all know this is the future of payment and we are just starting this journey with a lot of improvements and developments to come in the long run which is something worth waiting for.

Honestly nothing that different from when its bull. When the prices are high, I get paid dollar value, so if ethereum is 200$ and I get paid 50$ than I get 0.25 ethereum. If the price is 100 dollars than I get paid 0.5 ethereum, and if its 1000 dollars than I get paid 0.05. So basically nothing changes for me aside from the fact that I get paid more ethereum when its low and less ethereum when its high.

It's meaning when the prices are low, I try to save as much ethereum as possible so when the price goes up I get more in return, now if you consider this daily, than best course of action is to put aside some constantly, even tho I barely can (because I spend most my earnings for living) I do put up like 100 bucks a month or so at a side.

Confirming week-5 payment. More power to BQT !. Thanks a lot Zapo !!

On a very normal day, your message won't be deleted if you are not going against any of the things you have mentioned.
It is either you are going against some of the rules of the forum, such as shit posting, or posting what is not even relevant to the main topic or trying hard to want to communicate but with no good way of passing across the message in English.

It is a global thread, and it is not a must to post here, because at the end, whatever you post, as long as it cannot be understood by anyone at all is a shit post. As simple as that! There are always local threads you can make use of or simply brush up your English skills, it is not that hard.

Yes, when you over do things, or do them without getting to speak to yourself once in a while, you will definitely end up messing up big time at the end of it all. Gambling is just one of them and the same way a lot of people get addicted to certain things in life without the ability to control it, is the same way they get addicted to gambling. It is normal to witness those urge, but it is left for you to fight and control them as much as you can, which so many people find it hard to do and they still go ahead gambling anyway.

I want to believe gambling can only have effect on one's future if you permit it to have effect on it. Certainly, the way people approach gambling right from the start will depict how they end up their life as a gambler. Either in control of the whole situation or as an addict. The greedy mindset of quite a number of people and the fact that they were busy looking for things where they can't find it, is one of the reasons why they will keep being affected when it comes to gambling.

Lol timberbulls is a great name whoever came up with that is a genious. However truth be told most of those players are going to be bench warmers if not limited minute players. The only person who is going to get minutes is jimmy buckets, aside from him none of them will get decent minutes. Derrick rose is not what he used to be even after the injury and keeps getting injured each season and he will probably not going to play more than 70 games this year neither. Deng is already done and playing out last seasons of his career and no one would be shocked if he calls it a career after this year. Basically its just a ghost of what it once was.

Not really that all of us are losing money due to the down markets.
I mean most loses money but there are inevitably people who bet on bitcoin price going down on bitmex and short futures on cme which means there are SOME people making money when the price is going down.

Not many people maybe but we don't know how much that very few people put into the bet so maybe that is a good chunk of money to be made during the fall. I do not think many people make money tho, most people lose money. I just wanted to point out that there are still people who bet on bitcoin price losing value which means there are people who do make money during the bear market which is sad because I do not wish price to go down and they bet for it.
