5421  Economy / Speculation / Re: Finally little fire on bitcoin got ignited on: February 10, 2019, 11:26:07 AM
Which I for one consider a genuine fundamental as it actually determines the price (which I came close to explaining in my precious post). It can be summarized as people's interest in Bitcoin. For example, in 2017 people were highly interested in cryptocurrencies (the exact reasons for this interest are not important here)
People lossing interest on Bitcoin until this day because the price is too slow, all they need is quick profit they can't wait when it is recover. It's a simple TA's why market remains low. People will showing interest if market is high then if low they leave the market.
But as of now, I don't see any reason why Bitcoin price spike on the market, but let's do hope it will continue raising up.

I don't think that people has losing their interest to Bitcoin. It is just about price fluctation. People has started to interest something else instead of cryptocurrencies just for now. When Bitcoin price will start to rise, then all people will come back. I am sure of it.

But important thing is know when market will recover completely. Someone will earn a lot of money who know the true time.
The interest of the people really matters on its price, fluctuation makes the market so beautiful as it  give way to make profit. I know have a lot of bitcoin holders in this forum and yet they are still waiting for the market spike.
A lot of people keep on waiting for the bulls came out but we don't know when it comes, they'll just doubts to invest crypto as if the market continue to dump. They'll not losing their interest with crypto but they'll much get interest when the prices are in uptrend motion.

Hi All,

I have been in cryptocurrency since 2014 but last 3 years I took a break from it. I had high hopes how it can change the financial world.

I would like to get back into it but first I would like to find out what is cryptocurrency today.

Is it just a trading commodity, long term investment or is it (very very very) slowly replacing fiat. I know there are many companies and small shops that accept cryptocurrency but is that it? Is the problem still about the speed of a transaction

Please help me catch up a little Smiley




Most of the users of cryptocurrencies are only using it for speculation and not for utility purposes. It is the main problem that the market nowadays because there are bitcoin users who doesn't see the bitcoin as a new technology but rather an investment where they can make profit.
It is purely investment as they think cause it happens that crypto isn't acceptable in some areas and they should have to change it into their local currency to used. But for the others, they have used it in buying stuffs and bills payment.
Crypto are still on the development stage and with that, we can expect to have a 100% spendable and yet it still be consider as an investment rather than to be a utility in form.

As long as we live crypto lives, there must definitely be challenges but it is just a matter of time, even banks do go through challenges, so relax your mind and know that cryptocurrency is the future money. In the future , it will have high adoption and acceptance. Crypto lives.
Blockchain technology is just a creation in relation to the current generation we have today, it somehow crypto is very useful and it seems to be valuable to us. It existence will only be stop if there is another technology created which is more beneficial to the people and more than enough of crypto can give. It is just a new inventions which could create another change in the market as well as in our life style.
5424  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Want to quit? Here's how on: February 10, 2019, 05:27:21 AM
You better quit gambling so you won't bet anymore. Hope you understand that leaving gambling will make your life confident without.
Thank you for your kindness, I really appreciate that. Many people judge gambling as negative things, including yourself, but I am not sure about the advice you convey. When you talk like that, have you ever gambled? if then, how long do you do gambling? When someone assures that gambling is something that must be avoided, he must know and he has experienced it, but if not, then you are only lying to yourself.
Precisely, you can talk about things when you already came from the situations, unless you are just talking nothing, people who suffer from this problem and able to catch up are meant to give advises base from what they experienced before, moving forward from past bad experienced really hard to be accomplish, but with your willingness and your self control tough things can be achieved.

Experienced will tell the whole story and will bring something educational to avoid or to help preventing things to happen again.
That is possible if we always learn from our experience, the main reason why we cannot quit is because we did not learn.
It's easy to say that we will quite but sometimes we are not capable on doing it, because we are so tied up with gambling and we think
that we cannot live without it. That's very reliance to gambling and with too much reliance, things are just getting harder for us, although we need
to quit but due to our lack of discipline things are harder for us to do.
Quitting is an easy word to speak but isn't easy to perform. It is our bond towards gambling will stop us from doing it and we know that some people make this things as bread and butter for their livings. It sometimes due to our greediness and aiming for more which need to gamble everyday for the purpose of having chances to win millions just like of the others. Maybe we should change this kind of attitude and think of about the future.

Trading is difficult to be honest. This is why it is necessary to learn before trading.
Cryptocurrency trading should not be seen as job by the way.. There is no guarantee you will be profitable especially in this current market.
Do not give up. I think trading is even less risky now compare to the very volatile days
I understood perfectly that, I'm agreeing with Ucy! Cryptocurrency trading could turn into a horrible just because lack of knowledge the current market sentiment, this is why importance read market psychology. I’m far from an expert on this topic, but have knowledge the principles minimize the risk.
This the market works by now but I've never think it will be like this for long. Trading is a risky job and many were losing badly due to lack of knowledge and its expertise with the market. But for us who wanting to work with the current condition, it is really a big challenge and we need to strategies our trades before it fall into losing..
5426  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to avoid Dump after listing on: February 09, 2019, 11:42:44 PM
Dumps are very difficult to avoid and this is common. That makes us disappointed because the price is cheap right away. But it all depends on the Team and Project Developer. If they have a strong and experienced Team and Developer. I guess even though the price of the token is low but they can make the price token go up again.
Even the team wanting it to pumps and have a stable price after listed, still it goes down due to market demand. Mostly bounty rewards will drop drastically few hours from the start of exchange and it showing no recoveries after( as I observe and base on my experience). So we never expect for the high price cause it only disappoint us especially for the investors.
5427  Economy / Speculation / Re: What if the bull run refuses to come again? on: February 09, 2019, 11:33:29 PM
Its quite good always to be optimistic and sometimes you think of what's the worst thing that can ever happen with which one prepare well. Considering the rate at which guyz are so expectant. I thought, what if the bull refuses to run? What will guyz do? Huh
If that was happen ,i think i should stop and quit because cryotp was not worth like before. But i believe bull run will come and bear market will not last forever. We need to wait more time before jumping into conclussion.
This is just a game, some years of winning and some years of losing. We've been high last 2017 but it turns into difficulties after bull runs which covering the entire year of 2018 and it continues until today. We still not have indications for the bounce back and I feel it will take a long until mid of this year. We can't speculate clearly as we are in decentralized form market, lets see what we've got this year and accept it.
I believe crypto market won't disappoint us, I may accept that this is the right moment to the win against odds. It will take time to make recoveries for such huge drop happen. We can't move the market alone but thru the help of the entire community it surely it can be. We just wait for it and I know it will be given to us, just have faith. 
5428  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How long do you think this BEAR MARKET will LAST? on: February 09, 2019, 01:33:54 PM
It is impossible to guess when the market starts recovering, from 2018 beginning, we are seeing the fluctuation in terms of the prices. It is impossible to predict the prices and their movement and when the market starts recovering, everything is based on the reputation we have and market demand.
Yes we can't say and even point  out when bearish seasons end up but looking for the trend we have now, I may say that bull run is still not awake. WE are still declining hard and even we do believe that our market recovers this year is still a quest.
We better not to expect bullish season again, instead we just accept of what it shown to us. Cause even the price fall but I do believe that it is not the way for crypto ends.
5429  Economy / Economics / Re: the future of crypto is good or bad on: February 08, 2019, 11:25:01 PM
At the end of this struggle, I think that crypto coins will have a widespread use and that there will be many benefits for people. It is just a matter of time.

You don't need to say that since Bitcoin is still being used by a lot of people despite the fact that the price of it is not that high. Despite the price there are still people who uses it as a method of payment, well we can say that the price don't matter and I think they are not just using it because they want to but because it has benefits for them.
Some people never understand for crypto creations and they never know how it could help us for this new generation. We are entitled for this wide growth and so digital adoption, isn't quite good for now since isn't fully accepted by the people globally and many were still thinking negatives which could affect its development growth. But for us who knows about it, we're not affected for FUDs spread around.
5430  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ICO Dying ? on: February 08, 2019, 12:10:00 PM
ICO is not dying, but I think many people make similar projects. well, maybe there are also many who are desperate to make ICO but have not much knowledge about the project. ICO which has a good project will certainly be easy to get investors, especially with a professional team.
It is all about the team managing a certain ICO. Yes, some ICO's are have similarity with the others in term of purpose and the way it should be. And makes people started to think about the potentiality of newly created projects. That's is why, more ICO's were now get into failures as no investors giving their trust on it. But all of this huge changes doesn't mean that ICO's are dying this is a way to filter fake projects.
5431  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Help a newbie on: February 08, 2019, 11:55:26 AM
If i'm not wrong, BTC will be halving ini 2020, and today is still bear market. I think new bullrun will come near the halving. If BTC won't down under $3000 until mid of this year
, It maybe the bottom.
No need to wait until mid-2019. most likely in February or March the BTC price will fall below $ 3000 and go straight down to $ 2500 if it happens, the bear market is still too strong and I'm sure that $ 3000 is not the bottom this year
Still we don't know what really by tomorrow or for the coming days. We don't have basis for our speculations that could made accurate or near. We are still on edge of $3000 dumps and were not sure if either to continue to dump or just pumps and surprise us.
We are getting into the challenge and people have some of it if they couldn't wait for another bull runs, and they sell their coins early.
5432  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Progressing adoption on: February 08, 2019, 09:26:22 AM
Lately, I have not been hearing much about Bitcoin, other than media mentioning that the value is decreasing. In addition, the transaction volume processed by payment gateways is also decreasing. I feel that adoption has come close to a standstill. What is your opinion about this?
I think we should look at benefits of Bitcoin for merchants, to increase the active circulation. For example, bitcoin is a cheaper alternative to debit- and creditcards as merchants have to pay less interchange fees. Therefore we should contribute as a community by helping merchants to implement this system in their store. Merchants could possibly attract customers by giving discounts for paying with Bitcoin. What is your idea for progressing adoption of Bitcoin?
It is true that trading volume of Bitcoin is very low compared way back 1-2 years ago but it doesn't mean that adoption will stop here. Its just a matter of time and people will have a confidence of entering the market again. Good idea about merchants but we all know that a lot of merchants, especially the big ones are still not ready to adopt it and use it in their service, and it is because of the price is highly volatile. We don't have to force the mass adoption to take place, it will just happen one day when people realizes how Bitcoin can improve their businesses and the benefits of using it especially that people right now are buying goods more frequently thru online.
We are recently a part of this new era and so online business came strong and wild. People will love doing online just like gambling, trading and many others that is why this digital form of currency adoption have growing strong. We can certainly that it makes our life easier and comfortable, making transactions pretty good and no hassles. It absolutely in the next few years, crypto will be acceptable in all terms of transactions either local or online.
5433  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: should I start buying ICOs again on: February 08, 2019, 09:14:44 AM
If you are willing to buy some altcoins it's up to you to hold then and wait until it will increase in months or years because it's hard to predict those price right now but for sure we have a those altcoins that have an future.
Its our willingness and ready to take the risk. ICO's today isn't that successful than of previous years and it is really hard to make gains right now. And so I suggest that just review of what certain ICO you want to invest with, be sure that they'll have an existing project to have assurance that they can make market of our tokens.

Tomorrow's game -  Bucks -8 vs Dallas Mavericks +8

While I'm hot, I would also like to ride with the team that is hot right now, and that is the Bucks, they are dominating their opponent
and though this game is another road game for the Bucks, I think they can still get this done easily.

Dallas Mavericks has no improvement so far as KP is still recovering, the current line up is weaker compared to the line up prior to the trade.
Their lack of presence inside is going to be their weakness and bucks will take advantage on that.


Pick - Bucks -8

It could be some home run again for Bucks, they'll have that advantage to take the balls under control. They'll shown it already and having a wins of 40 and leading in the east, its not a joke anymore. They'll surely win the game tomorrow.
5435  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When Should I Expect The Next Bull Run? on: February 08, 2019, 06:18:53 AM
Don't expect bullrun anytime soon ,stay focus on building a nice portfolio first because that's the only way to stay prepared for another bullrun ,it might be soon or it may be longer,use the market condition to take advantage and secure many good coins
It will be better that way cause we even don't know or even sure that bull run will show up again, may a simple pumps will just come. We don't waste our time for that, looking the market everyday to know if we are growing, instead to be prepare anything that could happen in the coming days. It is better to be prepared and take the opportunity to have our bags full of potential coins in preparation for the market pumps.
5436  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Traders, what are your views in 2019. on: February 08, 2019, 03:07:01 AM
Alot of good news coming but the trend still bearish, after long bearish the crypto market should be change to bullish . Its really unpredictable, but bull market will be coming later for sure because more mass adoption of crypto and blockchain technology. From technical analysis, bear market should be end in this year and slowly the price going up.
We are really in the down but I so hopeful that this year will be a big opposite for last year 2018. Even the market are still in troubled but as a trader, always on the go. I may taking the risk buying those potential coins low price cause we even don't know that maybe will unexpectedly rise up in the 2nd semester of this year. Who knows? I'll always be positive with the market.
5437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2018-2019 betting on: February 08, 2019, 02:48:07 AM
We look for another big game  for Lakers and Celtics today. Looking at their score, they are very closed and we can't tell who's gonna win this as we are in the 3rd quarter of the game.  Both have a competitive team, they are surely eager to win.

@stadus who's your bet?
5438  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: are ICOs really dead? on: February 07, 2019, 11:54:35 PM
After participating in several ICO project, which turned out to be scam projects. My hard earned money disappeared in to thin air, with no way to trace or recover my money back. I had to act like it never happened to get it off my mind and move on.

Are ICOs really dead and do you still invest in ICO projects?

Yes, I think ICO's are dead, as no volumes even on decent tokens, liquidity issues. New projects, high risks, when the idea will be released, what exchanges etc. I guess a better idea is to buy decent tokens from the market.
They aren't dead yet, only it happens that many ICO's were struggling hardship with the market and even can't generate support from the community which causing them to fail. But for now, participating ICO where in high risk and mostly investors are having doubts to put their money cause they already know that they can't get assurance that they will be profiting after the ICO ends.
5439  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investors in 2019? on: February 07, 2019, 11:31:27 PM
We all know about the big risks and benefits of investing in Cryptocurrency, in my opinion if people stay away from Crypto because they are not strong enough to stay in a difficult position and low market prices. Removing fraudulent ICO and stabilizing market prices can make people believe again, on the one hand investors are very dependent on prices and ICO to trade.
Investors are struggling it hard this year specially some ICO's we're fails and dropping of token price which is totally far from its ICO price. They seemingly giving it doubts if they could have a good profit or just losing their money at all.
Our market never give of what the community expecting to happen but we are still in the 1st quarter for this year and I know a lot of changes will come. We just be wait for it and see if there is chances.
5440  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to find a mentor for trading on: February 07, 2019, 03:33:13 PM
A lot of members in here have skills and knowledge about trading and they acquire those things through research, reading books and deep understanding. They'll become successful not just because they have mentors but because they wanted it to happen, they work it hard and fulfill their dreams.
That's right, is just the hardwork and being committed to the job. I've just learn trading through reading and in trading sites, trying to understand on how it works, watching tutorials and many other ways. Is just us on how work for it, mentors will only just guide us of what we do but we have our own decisions. Learning is not instant, it is a step by step process, so take time.
