5461  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't just hold your altcoins for a long time! on: February 24, 2020, 09:44:08 PM
Don't hold some good but random altcoins for a long time. If you still want to hold then don't leave their telegram group or other social accounts, check updates on a regular basis. Because if you just hold and keep it in a wallet for 2 years then who knows after 2 years your coin's value may turn into zero value, because of the swap!

 I lost many coins because of swap things! Recently Insolar is swapping their token, I did not know about it, because I have been holding for two years but did not care enough as the price was very low! Today I was checking the Coinmarketap android app and saw Insolar coin increased by 530% but their ticker is XNS when I knew it was INS! So, I joined their telegram and get the updates about the swap! Unfortunately, If I fail to swap on time then all of the value of my holding coins will be zero! So, except Bitcoin, Ethereum, don't trust any coin for just buy and hold for a long time, rather keep updating yourself!

I was also a victim myself, I have altcoins that I hold for a long time but my mistake is that I didn't check the telegram group until its too late. Good thing is that its not that big amount though, probably around 100$.

Lesson learnt for me, currently, I also have small amounts of token that I have been holding for 2 years. But I do keep regular checks now if there are updates or whats not. So that I won't lose them in case there are some changes like swap or something.

I love the idea until I saw this article:

Flaws in the blockchain app some states plan to use in the 2020 election allow bad actors to alter or cancel someone’s vote or expose their private info.

Quote
Security researchers have found key flaws in a mobile voting app that some states plan to use in the 2020 election that can allow hackers to launch both client- and server-side attacks that can easily manipulate or even delete someone’s vote, as well as prevent a reliable audit from taking place after the fact, they said.

A team of researchers at MIT released a security audit of Voatz—a blockchain app that already was used in a limited way for absentee-ballot voting in the 2018 mid-term elections—that they said bolsters the case for why internet voting is a bad idea and voting transparency is the only way to ensure legitimacy.
Hackers Can Seize Control of Ballots Cast Using the Voatz Voting App, Researchers Say

https://threatpost.com/hackers-can-seize-control-of-ballots-cast-using-the-voatz-voting-app-researchers-say/152883/

So as the research says, it could be a bad idea to let people vote using some apps. So they might intercept it before the vote can be written to the blockchain. So for now, there are more questions and cons against it. And we all know that once it is written in the blockchain it can't be change.

What we need to see now is a unification bout between Fury & Joshua. Wilder was outclassed so a trilogy fight between him & Fury is of no interest to me.

Let’s see the fight between the two heavyweight belt holders to unify the division.

Right, make sense for all Brits unification fight, that is if Wilder doesn't exercise his rematch clause.

This could be huge as well but as seeing Fury winning this easily though, he is too technical and him proving that he is no pillow fisted fighter. AJ chin which is weak compare to him and Wilder, so if Fury touches that chin AJ will have nightmares again, flashback of Any Ruiz, Lol.
5464  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reason behind ALTCOINS not bouncing Back on: February 23, 2020, 11:37:52 AM
Since last few months almost majority of trader/Investor are seems like hopeless or bored from this dead marked, Expect whales or manipulator. Here are many are at safe side by making some decent moves during a little recovery season, But still a majority of peoples are in extreme loss or average loss. Here is many aspect behind the all scenario. A few are following:

        a) We always expect a big hit and don't trade according plan.
        b) Many strong projects are effected due to shitcoins performance.
        c) Altcoin will still remain dead due to Bitcoin's FOMO
        d) Worst reasoning why Alt market will not be bounce back at the position where it was before all this mess is
        Most project dump their whole supply in market on its investors.

I think it's more on (c), altcoin investors are shifting to BTC because there's where the money is.

The project dump though has been exposed already since April of 2018, many of them dump so I don't think projects now are practicing it because the price is already low. Majority as still in the -60% to -90%, so it's a long way to go before we can see an altcoin market bounce.
5465  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wilder vs. Fury II: The Rematch is On on: February 23, 2020, 10:52:08 AM
Somehow I'm a little bit disappointed with the fight, I wanted to see more Smiley
On the weight-in and face-off they seems to be quite equal size, but in the ring Fury was much bigger. I have a feeling, that (again) Wilder was aiming to win by 1 right straight punch. He bet too much on this strategy. That was his mistake. On their first fight, Fury survived 2 knockdown punches, that was not kinda smart to believe in same strategy.

Overall result - as expected, Fury is the kind.

If you would listen to Teddy Atlas, a renowned boxing trainer, he says that Wilder is no boxer and the only thing that always bail him out is his one punch KO, that's why they called him the "Eraser". But this time, it is totally different, he couldn't off-set Fury because (1) Tyson is much heavier than him (2) Tyson can take his punch because of the added weight (3) Wilder got knock down, first time in his career and he didn't know how to react.

So yeah, bring Joshua vs Fury next, all British Heavyweight match.
5466  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it correction time? Market down by 8% on: February 23, 2020, 09:46:45 AM
I guess so because we almost get in the downtrend in 2 weeks, so maybe it is the time to see another high, but to break $10,500 still be difficult.

i don't get why some people refer to the current situation as a "downtrend". it doesn't make any sense. a downtrend is where price keeps going down and losing value, whereas what we have in the market nowadays is going "sideways" which is both up and down between $9200 and $10500. the entire month of February was like this.

I guess they also have their own definition of a " downtrend" which is also wrong. Because a trend is a continuous movement without changing direction, though it may slightly changes its direction at some point, but in the long run it will display an obvious outcome.
IMHO, most of the time people who calls a slight pull back of price a "downtrend" has a very bullish mindset, which easily get upset if Bitcoin decreased its value.

It the bullish trend is not changing then that is a parabolic rise, I believed. But we all know that at least bitcoin is having a 'healthy pullback' at some time before continuing the positive trend.

As you can see in the last days, it seems that the price is inching at $10k again, so we see retracement to $9500-$9600. So we don't need to get upset, what we need is more patience.
5467  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can decentralization be applied to protest movements ? on: February 23, 2020, 09:06:29 AM
Just to set the record set, blockchain is not = to bitcoin, Blockchain is the technology behind it.

The first picture to show, someone is carrying a placard with blockchain and cryptocurrencies and then the second image, with cryptocurrency. So it might be some misconception, don't get me wrong here, we have seen similar political unrest in Venezuela and to an extend in Hong Kong, but we haven't seen that adoption that we all have been waiting, just saying.

Best of luck though, and I do hope that Algeria won't be the next Venezuela.
5468  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Halving Clock on: February 23, 2020, 08:36:38 AM
Lol, BCH halving?  Smiley

Anyways, those bitcoin block halving count down is not that accurate, it's just an approximate I believed.

Others could be off by as much as 3 days, so I guess everyone should take the average of each website to at least get the picture of the date itself.

Do not miss this match live today on ESPN+ or Fox Sports, whichever channel is available in your area.

I love this one, good that it's not on PPV as we still have to pay for it, now we can watch it live in these channels.. I guess I only have Fox sports but I don't have ESPN +, not sure if ESPN and ESPN + is the same, someone enlighten me what's the difference and what ESPN+ caters?

Will it be telecast live on Youtube ? Most people will not have access to these channels or they are not willing to subscribe to them only for this match.
If i am unable to watch it live, i will surely watch the highlights at youtube , but it will be better if someone can share the live streaming you tube link for the match ?

I don't think it will be telecast live on Youtube. And I don't know if we are allow to post some live streaming here in this community because I haven't seen anyone who's willing to give out links.

Usually though, I just wake up early, talk to some of my friends who may have subscribe to cable network stations if they can live stream with me. Otherwise I don't have a choice but to wait for some high lights in Youtube.
5470  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it correction time? Market down by 8% on: February 22, 2020, 11:04:10 AM
The price has settled around $9600 already so I think the retracement has slowed down a bit. Although trading in weekends are kind of slow, but I do think that the market has somewhat reached the lower lows so I'm not expecting another further downside.

Next is very interesting, are we going to get to 5 digits again and then goes on another high around $10500? So let's see how it goes in the last week of February.
5471  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty hunters respect yourself, please! on: February 22, 2020, 10:28:22 AM
I am very frustrated by seeing some bounty project and their rewards! Recently Hydax, Earnbets, Hitmex bounty launched, I saw many people ate doing their signature even some high ranked people too. But their rewards are like 2-3K USD for all category bounties for 4-8-12 weeks bounty! Do you guys read those project's whitepaper especially the Hitmex whitepaper? Please spend some time to research before supporting a campaign. You guys are the reason for low rewards campaigns. If you ignore those, low rewards campaign are coming continuously in this year. Please try to understand the fact and do only good project's bounty that has good allocation/respect for hunters!

Yeah, maybe some of them are reading the whitepaper before joining the campaign, but majority is really out there to get the rewards. And once the token is listed on an exchange, expect a dump pulling the price down. That has been the situation in 2018-2019 and I think it will continue till this year.

I understand your rat, but it is what is it, people here are just for the money, no matter how much it is. Specially if you have been waiting for too long for the token to hit the exchange. Then wanted to immediately dump everything and get their rewards no matter how small it is. Sad but true.
5472  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My top 7 exchanges for trading on: February 22, 2020, 09:31:38 AM
If you really wanted to see a good report about exchanges, specially those exchanges that have been reported to performed wash trading and fake volumes, I suggest everyone to visit this website, https://www.bti.live/exchanges/

I don't want to click the link that the OP gave though, but I'm sure with the link above that I gave, you guys can pretty much cross reference it with the OP top exchanges and see if there is some discrepancy.
5473  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto whales hacked, lost $15M BTC and $30M BCH on: February 22, 2020, 09:07:26 AM
We really don't know if this is really true, if it is, then that is a huge lost for him.

So his wallet is on the phone? Definitely he is not an expert, Lmao. Seriously though, this is another black eye news for crypto enthusiast, just by looking at the amount that guy lost it's really disheartening.

Another good lesson for those who have tons of crypto's around, invest on a hardware wallet.
5474  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: It doesn't look like on: February 21, 2020, 03:44:29 PM
It doesn't look like Bitcoin is going to go over 10k plus till May gets here, I think what we will keep seeing is rise and fall between 8k and 10k, the best way is to keep taking profit, buying low and reselling over and over, Im just worried what will happen once halving is over and the Almighty Halving Hype died off, there is nothing making the price surge presently than this upcoming halving, what do you think?

The price of bitcoin is around $9500, and that is just $500 to $10k, so I think it's plausible that we can go to that 5 digits again prior to May. Maybe this is just a correction, as we have seen it this month already.

Although there is a positive for those who are waiting for the price to go below 5 digits so that they can buy prior to the bitcoin halving in May, we will see how it goes.
5475  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to easily keep track of ETH wallets/transactions/tokens on: February 21, 2020, 02:42:52 PM
It is good if you have multiple wallets.
However if you have just a few addresses,  you can just bookmark them on ether scan so you can keep track of your shitcoins.

Yes, this one, bookmark it and check if you are waiting for some bounty or expecting coins to go to your wallet. So I don't used telegram bots, actually it was my first time to hear that. Maybe I'm just old school so I still go with that traditional way of checking my wallet.

But the guide that the OP is good though, but maybe it's not for everyone.
5476  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Halving 2020 prediction! on: February 21, 2020, 02:04:32 PM
Personally I don't discard this possibility! Wink

I guess everyone has the same outlook as yours, we wanted to see the price goes to the moon again, if we ever see an eventually bull-run right after the halving.

But you have to remember that we won't see a big jump overnight, as it make take some time to fully see the price going into another all-time-high. And getting into a new all-time-high might take some time though, as compare to the last bull run. So what we need to do? Patience, and be control of our emotions as we might go to a series of retracement every time before we can finally achieve the peak price of bitcoin.
5477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Assess your gambling addiction level. on: February 21, 2020, 01:38:31 PM
I would say that I was in the level 7 once, I have a high paying job, but it seems that I'm not contented, did not save but usually spend time in the gambling casino's around my place. Until the time that I lost my job, lost my business, and almost lost my family as well.

But I have amend my ways in the last three years, no more many hours in gambling, and just play to have some fun. And I just gamble what I can afford to lose.
5478  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading bot for beginner? on: February 18, 2020, 09:46:46 PM
I will echo the sentiments of more experience traders here.

Bot are not for beginners, you need to have basic to intermediate knowledge of trading before you can fully understand how a bot works. Well you can get one, however, it will take you some time to familiarize yourself with the bot setting that might cost you money to lose in the short run. You can put that money to trade it yourself and once you gain the experience and some knowledge then probably you can try any bots out there.
5479  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Ethereum About to Break Out of a 2-Year Bear Market? on: February 18, 2020, 12:52:42 PM
Yes, ETH should exit the bear market because ETH has only positive news and a few updates ahead which will clearly have a positive impact on ETH and its price.

I agreed if ETH had to get out of the bear market. but is there a guarantee if the ETH price will continue to have a positive impact over a long period of time?
I see now this ETH movement in the market continues to increase.

Just imagine if you have bought Ethereum at its lowest last year around $80 if I'm not mistaken and just HODL on it, but this time it's a sure profit already.

However, we all know that it can still go on an upward trend this 2020, and we breaking away from the long bearish trend second quarter of 2018 up to 2019.
5480  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wilder vs. Fury II: The Rematch is On on: February 18, 2020, 12:13:36 PM
Does anybody still interested on rematch?  Grin
That depends on what will happen in the match this coming scheduled fight, actually what we are going to see is already a rematch, if there is another fight after the rematch, we will be seeing a trilogy.  I maybe interested but like I said, depending on what I will witness in the rematch.
The first match end up a controversial draw, so this is a fight to determine who really wins that which I assume it will not again end up a draw.

Let's say Fury would win, of course Wilder would want another shot, and since the fight generated a good amount of sales so another fight happen, and if in the next fight it will be Wilder that will win, so we might see a maximum of 4 fights for this one,... that's too boring IMO, just give other boxers a chance to prove they can also compete with the big names, not with these fighters only for the sake of generating more money.

The only competitive fighters outside of the two is Anthony Joshua, so we may want to see the winner fight AJ instead of another rematch in my opinion.

This will make the three best heavyweight fighters trying to proved amongst themselves who is the best. And then make other heavyweight to chase them so that that division lit up again, just like in the 80's and early 90's.
