5561  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price - Is $11,000 Next? on: May 20, 2019, 06:12:49 AM
The recent whale dump on the most major exchange made everyone worried that Bitcoin price may decrease significantly. But the crypto supporters have good news, Bitcoin isn't going down, it is going up. I think the BTC Bull started walking, soon it will run the race. I just read this amazing news on NEWSBTC, Read it, you'll get some peace.


This thread belongs to the Speculation sub-forum or the Press sub-forum.
I don't have to read some random article from a crypto news site,in order to be convinced that bitcoin is on a bull run.By the way,are you promoting this newsbtc website?
Bitcoin is heading towards 10K.Sooner or later,it will reach again 10K.We all know that without any "analysis".
5562  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this for real? on: May 20, 2019, 06:09:16 AM
So, this recent spike in the price of bitcoins was largely caused by one very large purchase. There was a slight rise in price after that, although that was likely due to people covering shorts and overreacting to the artificial spike. Right now, we're seeing very little market activity as people are likely sitting on their coins waiting for another spike.

At first glance I thought that we'd see another rise, less sharp than the first one, but still relatively steep. Looking at it again though, I think that this inflated price we have now is extremely artificial. One large purchase can't truly reflect the supply and demand. I think we'll see the price steadily fall from here, followed by a sharp downturn once people realize how oversold we are. In fact, I think we'll be testing a $4 floor again soon.

Thoughts?

A $4 floor?Do you mean 4K,not $4? Grin
Very little market activity?The 24 hour bitcoin trading volume is 24 billion USD!Is that you are calling "very little market activity?(It can be faked,though,but I don't believe that much in that)The fact that there's a low price volatility doesn't mean that there's no market activity.
Stop with the BS and nonsense,OP.

Running a cryptocurrency exchange platform under US jurisdiction is a pain in the a$$. Grin
Crypto trading platforms are servants to the SEC and they have to obey to every rule,it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong.I'm not advocating on those coins,but the lack of regulatory clarity leads to big loss.

It won't cause neither FOMO or FUD,because nobody cares about CBS. Grin
Again the mainstream media starts paying attention to bitcoin only because the btc price is up.
If another price crash occurs,the mainstream media will forget about bitcoin(again).

Liverpool have lost two big finals with Klop.League Europe final against Sevilia(2016) and last year's Champions League final against Real Madrid.This final is Klop's last chance to prove that he is a great manager.Anyway,I'm not a Liverpool fan and I bet that Tottenham will win in the end.
5566  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How I turned $50k into $500k on: May 19, 2019, 05:03:17 PM
I like simplicity so this thread is going to be simple as that:

I've bought small and quality projects that don't give a f*ck about marketing before product and wait. That's it! Getting rich is that easy. Buy small and quality projects and wait. Patience is the most important thing.

If you are a small investor and want to be a big fish, my suggestions:

XEL (https://xel.org)
BitBay (https://bitbay.market)
SHIFT (https://www.shiftproject.com)
https://t.me/ShiftProject

Potential 10x gain. You just have to wait.

You didn't turn 50K to 500K,you (probably)bought some (potential) shitcoins and you are advertising those projects to other people,saying that those projects will be successful.(Complete BS)
Any proof that you have bought any tokens?Some screenshots?
If you don't have any proof,this post is the biggest BS i've seen. Grin

Dude,wtf... Grin
This sub-forum is about serious discussions only.Your topic is everything else but serious.
You are talking to an AI that doesn't exist and won't be created in the next 50 years.
I think that quantum computers will lead to the creation of AI,not the blockchain.
5568  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do people still think bitcoin is following stock market? on: May 19, 2019, 04:45:14 PM
last year (mostly near the end of the year) a common saying started to show up when people kept saying bitcoin is falling because the stock market is falling (an example) and although that was probably the first time bitcoin's drop coincided with stock market crash, this particular speculation became popular for some reason!

now the stock market is crashing due to trade war between the United States and China and meanwhile bitcoin has been rising consistently setting a new high each time it rises.

this topic is meant as a reminder that bitcoin market is a completely independent market taking effects from lots of things most of which are specific to bitcoin and usually concern adoption of it.

Last year's similarity between the crypto and stock market price patterns was just a coincidence.
Many people believed that the stock and crypto markets were somehow connected,because they wanted to find a valid reason explaining why the bitcoin price crashed.
Now we all know that the reason behind crypto price crash wasn't the stock market crash.
5569  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-5-14] Twitter and Google Trends Influence Cryptocurrency Prices on: May 19, 2019, 04:35:28 PM
Research conducted by Southern Methodist University showed that trends on Twitter and Google influence prices of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

According to the data collected from the tweets on Twitter and Google search volume index (SVI), the number of tweets and their positive or negative sentiments affect the prices of cryptocurrency. The research indicated that the number of tweets changes first and then prices change later.

Theoretically, if the users’ sentiment towards a certain cryptocurrency could be measured, then the price pattern of that particular cryptocurrency could be easily estimated.

No way.I think it's the exact opposite.The cryptocurrency prices affect the tweets quantity and  the google search volume.If the bitcoin price does up,more people start to search in google more frequently than before.
If the price does down,the search frequency will go down as well.
5570  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is loss of bitcoin.com a setback for Bitcoin Core? on: May 19, 2019, 04:32:51 PM
I'm quite familiar with the crypto world and can differentiate things. But I also look for things in internet.
If you do a google search with bitcoin, bitcoin.com comes in the second place. And most people also has a habit of looking for topic.com which leads to bitcoin.com. But the site bitcoin.com in many instances refers Bitcoincash as Bitcoin while they call the longest chain of Bitcoin as Bitcoin Core. This way they are presenting bitcoincash as the real bitcoin. And the more you see lie, the more it looks real.

This is an old issue and it won't end.Roger Ver owns bitcoin.com and he won't sell it to some bitcoin core supporter.Many newbies will fall victims of this misleading scam, if they don't do enough research about the topic.I thinking about a way to shut down bitcoin.com,but this can be only temporary.
5571  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it a good investment? on: May 19, 2019, 12:25:03 PM
A lot of us are in doubt about investing and trading during these days. We can't really avoid being discombobulated especially newbies that's why sharing our own experience and knowledge can help them to be wiser and responsible about making decision. Just like some of you i'm looking for a good investment, one of my friend suggested Afrihealth. I'm not actually familiar with it that's why I decided to search for some information and details about it and it turns out good. Of course as an investor I want everything to be great and turn into positive outcomes that's why I always make sure about everything especially on making decision so I won't regret anything.Do you think its a good and worth it investment?

The Afrihealth project looks like an ICO launched by an Indian team(it raises red flag for me,since I don't like ICOs).
Their AHC token isn't listed on Coinmarketcap.
Their website looks good enough(which doesn't prove anything,when it comes to legitimacy).
Their idea about health care in Africa,makes me think that this is more like a charity project,rather than a working business model.
I don't know,I'm not convinced to buy tokens from such project.
5572  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Interesting, weird and very different Bitcoin websites on: May 19, 2019, 12:17:19 PM
Over the years I’ve discovered hundreds of useful websites associated with bitcoin.
From these websites I’ve learnt and discovered many interesting, technical and informative things about bitcoin. But every now and then I randomly come across some truly entertaining, different and weird websites.
My favourite by far is

https://bitbonkers.com/

Have a look at it and please add any more of the weird and wonderful to the thread.
Enjoy

I can't load the website on Chrome.Unsupported protocol(cipher mismatch).Perhaps the problem is in my browser.Can you tell us why bitbonkers is your favorite site?
Their domain is pretty good.It costs 120 USD,according to estibot.

Very informative guide.However,I wouldn't recommend margin trading to traders and have a limited capital.Traders with limited capital usually have limited experience and knowledge as well,which might lead to mistakes and huge loss.A trader has to practice standard crypto trading for 2 years minimum,before he jumps into the margin trading wagon.
5574  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will BNB reach $50 This Year? on: May 19, 2019, 11:59:34 AM
I would rather be careful with all the crypto exchange coins/tokens like BNB.
I'm pretty sure that a big cryptocurrency exchange platform like Binance can manage to manipulate the price of it's own coin and make a lot of money(by legally stealing money from the noobs,who are excited about BNB and buy more BNB coins).
Let's see what will happen with the recent Binance hack.
5575  Other / Off-topic / Re: Next Batman: Robert Pattinson on: May 19, 2019, 11:55:45 AM
Rumors are flying that Pattinson, of the twilight saga will become the next cape crusader

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/05/17/entertainment/robert-pattinson-batman/index.html

I'm not sure if this is a match made in heaven, but personally, I don't see Pattinson fitting enough to be the next Batman, what's your thoughts on this?

Another Batman movie?
DC Comics and Hollywood want to squeeze every penny from the Batman franchise.
I'm not a big fan of Pattinson.His career is on a downward spital...
Christian Bale was great as Batman.
5576  Economy / Speculation / Re: How are bitcoin and alt price charts connected? on: May 19, 2019, 11:45:36 AM
Before 2017, bitcoin had most of the cryptocap market share, something like 80-90%. When an alt pumped, bitcoin price typicially didn't budge. Now, when one of the major coins move they all move with it. My first question is how is this happening? when the demand for bitcoin goes up and the price goes up, why are pretty much the top 50 coins going up as well? Same with when the price goes down. I don't believe that people all of a sudden put money into all the coins at once, something else is going on maybe someone can explain?
The main point of concern I have is that if this continues, it's going to be hard to get bitcoin price into 6 figures because of all these stupid shitcoins that have to get dragged along with it.
How and why is this an all or nothing game? Thoughts?

You are asking a pretty stupid question.There are 3 answers:
1.All the traders have to buy altcoins with btc.
2.The crypto whales are pumping altcoin prices by buying altcoins with btc.
3.Cryptocurrency exchange platforms are pumping the altcoin prices by faking trading volumes and other price manipulations.

I've posted a signed message with a bitcoin address here 3-4 years ago just in case my account gets hacked.
I'm too lazy to search for that post and I don't see any point.
I don't know if I still have control over that address,though.
5578  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What Can $50 Million From Banks Add To The Crypto Industry? on: May 19, 2019, 05:28:47 AM
Time to time, we big financial players diving into the cryptocurrency industry, now big banks around the world want to invest $50 Million into cryptocurrency. According to this news... https://www.cryptoinformers.info/news/143-banks-set-to-invest-50-million-in-digital-cash-settlement-project

What do you think $50 million will add to this multi-billion industry?

With 50 million USD you could pump some penny altcoin price a lot and make a shitload of money.
I don't know about any other way to invest in the crypto industry.
Anyway,I think this is fake news and "digital cash" doesn't allways mean cryptocurrency.
They might try to create something like paypal,skrill,venmo,neteller,etc.

For me,the content format doesn't matter that much.It's all about the quality of the content.
I would say that I prefer good videos and books rather than bad videos and books.
I know that most of the young people are too damn lazy to read books and articles,but I really enjoy reading.
