561  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] STREAMITY ICO --->Decentralized cryptocurrency exchange<--- on: June 03, 2018, 12:14:13 AM
There are still roughly 3 weeks left before the second phase of the crowdsale begins. Your official Announcement Thread is stating a different set of dates. Please change them as they are misleading. A potential investor might be led to your OP and thinks he just missed the train. There was an extension so the OP must also be updated with the new dates. The 2nd phase of the ICO as indicated in the OP started on 04-16-18 and ended on 04-29-18. That won't take a minute to change it, I guess.  Wink
562  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will crypto replace fiat money? on: June 02, 2018, 12:32:39 PM
I would like to know if cryptocurrency will replace fiat money in the future,  also if so how long it will likely take.  Also,  I would like to know which coin you think would take over if one will.  (E.G. Dogecoin,  BTG, LTC, XMR)

It would take several long years before cryptocurrency will finally take over our old fiat money. What is certain at this time is that it will take place. There is no stopping cryptocurrency to conquer the world. This is one of the greatest social evolution that will happen in our society. And we are kind of lucky to be part of this at an earlier time. Bitcoin is the one that would lead this change.

The future of Bitcoin is very bright with it starting to conquer the mainstream business world. Although, for me, we still have to wait for the moment at which the price of Bitcoin will somehow reach a certain level of stability so that each Bitcoin transaction will remain to be sound even if the price of Bitcoin will fluctuate. Right now, the volatility level of Bitcoin's price is very high that transactions may or may not happen simply due to it.
564  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What altcoin would you prefer to be paid in? on: June 02, 2018, 05:17:52 AM
Assuming you're doing remote gigs or remote work. What altcoin would you choose?

I think Ripple is a great choice because of how fast it is.

Thoughts?

It does not matter anymore whether it is sent to you from somewhere far. The world is getting smaller with the internet. I think it will not matter that big which coin you will receive in terms of distance. For me, I would choose Ethereum. Ethereum is the most used altcoin out there. There is no way it would lose its value. No problem if it will arrive 1 minute late. What is more important is that it is a solid one.
565  Other / Off-topic / Re: Money for school fees. Invested in bitcoin. on: June 01, 2018, 12:20:12 PM
Hi there! I just need your advice. I invested the money instead of paying my school fees. Yeah, i know this is wrong because education is more important to us and it can't be stealed from us, i'm still studying but my fees will be doubled on the next payment. But i believe this will end a good result. What do you think about this ? Your advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Do not sacrifice your future for the sake of crypto. I think that is not the best way to do things. Investment in Bitcoin is definitely a good one. It is a wise decision to invest in Bitcoin because the value is generally appreciating but once the concern of education is brought to the table, there should be no compromise. You should not have done that. But since it has already been done, you have no other option but to wait for it to rise back and gain.
566  Economy / Economics / Re: Why people are still buying BTC? on: June 01, 2018, 10:13:37 AM
If you only read old posts here, you would be brought to realization that you are simply echoing what they raised here years before. But after several years, Bitcoin remained very much useful and even sound investment. This is like the bubble case which has always been used in arguing against a lot of potential Bitcoin investors. What bothers me is not the reason why people are still buying Bitcoin until now. It is rather why they should not invest in Bitcoin.
567  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How was your experience in joining bounty or airdrop? on: May 31, 2018, 07:42:27 AM
Hey everyone!

I am very new to joining airdrops. I just wanna know if you had experience joining into some ICOs but did not receive your expected tokens? Or what was your first tokens that you received?

My first received token was very rewarding experience, still counting other and tracking my airdrops atm.

Can you share some of your experiences about this matter?

thank you!

I would not have lasted this long in joining bounty campaigns if I did not receive a decent amount of payment in the form of tokens from my previous campaigns. I admit that I also had some not-so-good-days in my bounty campaign experiences. However, generally, I am very much grateful for having found this forum. The last time I had a very great payment was with Cappasity (CAPP). It used to be Artoken.

If people buy Bitcoin at $8,000, they will get 100% profit only when Bitcoin reaches $16,000. If it takes 5 years to reach $16,000, people will earn more money from Gold and Silver than from Bitcoin. Silver is giving 20% to 35% profit in one year.

Mining cost of one Bitcoin is $5,000 or more. When Bitcoin was $400 or $800 it was understandable because people had to just spend $400 or $800 to get one Bitcoin and $1,200 is super high profits when Bitcoin started from $1.

This is not a good way to present the facts. Bitcoin is expensive. That is correct. But you are not forced to buy a single Bitcoin if you do not have enough money. It is always available in Satoshis. As for the price appreciation, both gold and silver cannot equal Bitcoin's growth every year. If the annual growth of gold or silver is only 20% to 35%, Bitcoin's is in the thousands. Check the historical data please.
569  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Predictions 2018/2019 on: May 29, 2018, 07:03:04 AM
What are your predictions for 2018?

From the main ones, I personally think that this year Ethereum will reach a good top. I would like to its price around $2,500-3000. Bitcoin...I hope it will go up again so at least people that bought in a rush in Nov/Dec. 2017 can return their money. Hopefully Bitcoin will do better and reach a million. Grin It would be nice to see litecoin closer to $500, or even higher.

Talking about ICO's, which one do you think will get the most X's? And which ones are a of time and money?

I think the coin that will make the most X's cannot be found on the top 10 or even 20 of the whole cryptocurrency list. With how the market is performing during the year, it seems those at the top will be the ones that will find it hard to appreciate. The first 6 months of the year is almost coming to an end and the top coins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc are still halfway from recovering their all time high.
570  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How long should one have to wait to sell on: May 29, 2018, 05:41:21 AM
Bitcoin keep on falling down  and no sign of raising. How long can we keep holding?

Your hodling term should be flexible, because the market is moving with a very fluctuating pattern. Sometimes, for example, the bear months will control the entire half of the year. So if you give a fix term to your Bitcoin hodling then you might end up selling with half the price of its all time high. That is too cheap for me. I would not sacrifice a very big amount just to cater to a fix hodling term.
571  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is the risk necessary to make a big profit? on: May 27, 2018, 09:52:27 AM
I am not saying it is necessary but it is always there. Risks always come along with your investment. Investment means you will release something significant or valuable so that it will either multiply or increase in value. But by releasing it from you it is already outside your control so there are always risks involved. For example, in crypto investment, you need to release some money to buy crypto. Once the crypto is there, you cannot anymore control its price. Everything will be up to the market. It may go up or down. What should be left is your conviction that it will go up.
572  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why so many Bitcoin users have fear of governments? on: May 25, 2018, 07:41:26 AM
Sometimes the fear of Bitcoin users are grounded on hollow grounds. They seem to be blowing up everything out of its proportions. They tend to exaggerate. However, I also don't think that there will come a point when Bitcoin or crypto will go hand in hand with the government for its success. I don't think it will ever happen because the two have several totally opposite poles. For one, the governments want control, Bitcoin is created to avoid that.
573  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as the currency of the future? on: May 25, 2018, 06:12:56 AM
I see that the more bitcoin the more users seen from the significantly increased bitcoin price increase, is this a sign that bitcoin will soon become the future virtual currency?

The future is for the digital currency to become the main currency of the world. And Bitcoin is expected to be the one leading the digital currency's aggressive growth. The more the price gets high, the more attractive Bitcoin appears to those who are not yet members of the Bitcoin community. This will result to new members coming in. Thus, the growth of the demand of Bitcoin, which will also result into more growth of its value.
574  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you sell right away or wait? on: May 25, 2018, 04:51:25 AM
Most of the time, my decision will depend on the particular project. If the project is very solid and it has already sealed a lot of partnerships with very popular companies around the world, the likes of IBM, Microsoft, Google, and so on, I might not even sell a little despite an initial pump by the time it hit exchanges. But if the coin is barely thriving, I will just sell a large amount or even all by the time it hit the exchanges.
575  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What to do if you lose $2,000 in trading? on: May 24, 2018, 07:23:04 AM
Losing your hard earned money on trading is one of the traumatic experiences that might happen to you.  This is usually happen when you are so bullish on the coins you are investing. Here are my thoughts on how to redeem you from this kind of experience.



1. Acknowledge that you did something wrong

            There are no other ways to start the process of redemption by accepting the fact that you made wrong decision. You need to accept that every once in a while we do poor judgment. It is important; when this thing happens to us we are ready to humble ourselves that we committed mistakes.

2.   Identify the problems

          a. Lack of experience – I was a successful trader in stock market winning mostly of my trade. But playing here as a day trader in crypto is something new. Your success in stock market doesn’t guarantee you success in BTC.

          b. Playing aggressive – Since I have too much ego in my head I put all my money in one coins only. I didn’t consider altcoins to hedge risk from BTC. There are altcoins who doesn’t affect much by this massive correction.

          c. Didn’t follow my trading plan – Foundation of trading practice is to follow the plan you have originally set. Your exit strategy is one of those important decisions you will made. It composes of selling and cut loss strategy.

3.   Courses of actions

          a. Never stop growing (learn the new market) – In every new things to we do it is very important to know our strength, weakness, opportunities, and threats (SWOT). Money is involved in every trade which make, which gives us reasons why we need to study the every aspects of cryptocurrency.

          b. Follow religiously your trading plan – There some trader who doesn’t have trading plan, in my case I have one which was not followed. Trading plan was based on your personal experience in trading. In time these plans was polished and test its effectiveness. If followed properly chances of success are increase.

          c. Never stop trading – If this single defeat dictates me to stop then the real loss will happen. These circumstances should ignite us to continue, make this experience to hungrier for success.

          d.Diversify your portfolio – Never do all in trade. These will gives you room for another alternative once the other coin doesn’t do well. Balance your portfolio composes of your well research coins.


After careful assessment of my situation, I believe that once a trader will always be a trader. I may lose sometimes but will rebound harder and stronger.


Remember merits are perishable if not use



The last line in color green is an indirect way of asking a merit. Well, being green-minded (I am an advocate of nature), I like the color so here's a merit for you.  Grin

Kidding aside, I like that you shared your experience here. I like the admission that since you lost something, there must also be something wrong somewhere. And if you want to go on and grow, you need to go over it, review what went wrong and what went right. This is a very nice way of doing things. I know you have a brighter future as a trader. Keep on!
576  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you still support Ethereum? on: May 24, 2018, 06:28:51 AM
My support to Ethereum remains present. Ethereum has stumbled down for several times but that seems to be normal to me. At the end of the day, it is still offering something very significant to the overall progress and development of the cryptocurrency innovation. And in addition to that, the value of Ethereum is also increasing. My portfolio always includes Ethereum for hodling.
577  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How stable is Bitcoin. on: May 24, 2018, 04:59:48 AM
On a stability rate of 1 to 10, 1 being the highest and 10 being the lowest, I would give Bitcoin a point of 4. Bitcoin is more unstable rather than stable. It cannot be made stable for a long time because its value is actually dictated upon by the rise and fall of Bitcoin demand in the world. There are times when the demand and selling are almost equal. This is one reason why there is a slight stability with its price.
578  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin down, what will happen? on: May 24, 2018, 04:23:22 AM
seeing bitcoin prices go down and up, I'm a bit frightened to buy bitcoin at the moment, I judge I could lose, do you think, whether bitcoin prices can continue to go down, or even rise high?

If Bitcoin is down, you will be left with only a couple relevant choices. It is either you trade your remaining Bitcoin daily to gain at least a little more growth or you continue to hodl it until the price will recover. You should not consider selling your Bitcoins. That is the least of your options. Do it only when you are badly in need of some cash. Never do it simply because Bitcoin is down.  
579  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top upcoming ICO with greatest potential on: May 22, 2018, 06:54:21 AM
For this mid part of the year, if not for the whole of 2018, Streamity is definitely one of the best ICOs that is going to explode in the next months. The ICO is going to start really soon. The project had already raised at least $4,200,000 in its pre-ICO. Streamity is a fiat and crypto exchange platform that will solve the prevailing problem about complicated buying and selling of cryptocurrencies, extremely high fees on crypto to fiat conversion, and others.
580  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Exchange KuCoin and KuCoin shares on: May 22, 2018, 05:17:03 AM
I still have yet to create a KuCoin account. I already have accounts in several exchanges but since there are a lot of new coins whose large volumes are found in KuCoin, I will be opening an account there, too. I don't have much choice than to trace the exchanges of the new coins. And I also observed how KuCoin is slowly taking steps going to the top.
