It seems possible why not. As long as it can connect two devices, I think the transaction can be done. I have read 1 article and 1 video talking about a transaction over Bluetooth. Just visit these two links below:

- https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2jgg5i/pay_using_bluetooth_ble_instead_of_qr_code_with/

Same with me, I just know it and I'm surprised that OP said those are top 3 crypto marketplace. So doubtful for me, it seems the writer only used Alexa traffic ranking to determine them. Or actually the writer only intended to promote that marketplace. There is a lot of mass media paid to promote crypto projects, so it is quite difficult to trust on that news.

That's why sometimes we need other ways to get profits. I mean not only holding, but we can also try trading to earn regular profits. Holding is mostly intended for a long term investment. It should take for months/years. Surely, we won't hold forever, there is a time to trade assets.   

Not really sure when talking about a specific time of pump and dump because they can happen anytime. Sometimes we have both pump and dump in a month, but at the other time we may find out no pump exactly. January is like the time for every investor to prepare their strategy and plan for their assets for 1 year ahead. In this case, the biggest possibility is for a dump.

It's about Bitcoin, this topic should be on Bitcoin discussion. Please move it there!

About Craig Wright, he absolutely stated the statement without considering anything, no data, or not based on research. So, we have no reason to trust in his statement. I can say that he is like a Bitcoin hater, spreading FUDs to make people doubt investing in Bitcoin. So, just ignore it, buddy!

Kendati banyak yang tidak puas dengan progress kenaikan harga BTC di tahun 2019, namun tau kah kalian bahwa Bitcoin lah yang menjadi komoditas terbaik nomor 1 di tahun lalu. Dari 10 komoditas dengan performa terbaik di dunia termasuk emas dan minyak gas, ternyata Bitcoin yang paling top performanya. Apa artinya? Dari survey yang ada, terbukti bahwa berinvestasi di Bitcoin jauh lebih menjanjikan keuntungan dibanding dengan komoditas lainnya.

List komoditas dengan performa terbaik 2019

1. Bitcoin: +100%
2. Palladium: +57%
3. Gasoline: +34%
4. Coffee: +30%
5. Lumber: +27%
6. Platinum: +19%
7. Gold: +18%
8. Silver: +15%
9. Sugar: +13%
10. Wheat: +11%

Hasil ini mematahkan anggapan bahwa emas adalah komoditas terbaik untuk mendapatkan keuntungan. Mungkin dari sisi stabilitas dan keamanan, emas masih lebih baik dari Bitcoin. Namun dari akumulasi total keuntungan, ternyata Bitcoin masih jauh lebih baik daripada emas. Menurut saya sih, semua investasi punya resiko, tidak ada yang jaminan 100%. Meskipun resiko investasi Bitcoin terbilang tinggi, tapi terlihat sangat menjanjikan. DWYOR

I prefer to invest in top coins. But not all top coins, I'm not interested in stable coins so those coins are excluded. For now, I am interested to buy more only for Bitcoin and Ethereum because I see those have a reason to increase this year. While others, I think it is better to see their progress this month firstly before considering to buy.

Actually, I am not sure to invest in both ICO and IEO. Invest in ICO is surely too risky, most of ICO projects only presented scams and unworthy coins/tokens in the market. While IEO was decreasing in popularity, many investors realized that IEO didn't meet expectation anymore. It seems we need some changes in both ICO and IEO system.

Actually, even though an expert predicted the possibility of a big pump on Ethereum, I am not really sure it will happen exactly. But anyway it is good news for us, especially for Ethereum holders. To be honest, I want to see it will come true along with the launching of Ethereum 2.0. Yeah, Ethereum has a true reason to move up this year.

I haven't an interesting story about my Bitcoin experience in 2019 as everything looked rather too ordinary. I had a little amount of Bitcoin and kept holding it till the end of 2020 or a year after halving. I was not really sure to buy much because not all people looked confidence in the effects of that halving. So, I was trying to buy some but not too significant adding to my asset.

Ada sisi bagusnya juga gan kalo ada filter seperti ini. Jadi nanti yang tersisa adalah exchanger yang benar-benar punya kapabilitas dan kredibilitas. Terlalu banyak exchanger juga tidak ada untungnya kalo umurnya cuman beberapa bulan saja. Seperti KoinX contohnya. Ujung-ujungnya bikin repot narik aset dari situ.

Info dari mana gan? Saya malah baru dengar dari agan ini kalo ada rencana seperti itu dari Binance.
Masalah persaingan, menurut saya malah bagus karena bisa mendorong exchanger-exchanger lokal untuk lebih meningkatkan standarnya. Bakalan menarik pastinya kalo indodax punya kompetitor yang berimbang. Tentu tim indodax akan lebih berinovasi dan meningkatkan kualitasnya demi menjaga kepercayaan kostumer nya.

Yang lebih bikin dilema kalo koin-koin lainnya pun senasib. Dalam artian juga merugi seperti TEN nya OP di atas. Jangankan untuk menutupi kerugian TEN tersebut, bisa jadi koin lainnya malah lebih parah nasibnya. Contoh kalo beli koin ICO, malah banyak yang harganya kayak kacang goreng setelah listing di exchange.  
Untuk campaign, gak bisa juga dibilang bisa menjadi alternatif nyari modal lagi karena banyakan gak ada hasilnya. Waktu habis, tenaga sudah terkuras, malah gak dapat apa-apa. Kurang efektif kalo mau nyari modal lewat campaign. Mau berapa lama nunggu sampai bisa terkumpul dana yang cukup.  

Kemungkinan pump itu biasanya ada untuk setiap koin. Tapi kadang harga pump itu kayak semacam pancingan saja (manipulasi). Kayak mereka cuman kerjasama dengan sebuah exchanger untuk menaikkan harga dan membuat seakan-akan ada yang naruh order (order beli/jual). Padahal pada saat itu orang-orang belum bisa melakukan penjualan karena alasan tertentu. Kesimpulannya, walaupun mau memanfaatkan moment pump, lihat-lihat dulu koin itu listing di exchanger mana. Kalo listingnya kayak di indodax, saya pikir oke saja. Tapi mending dihindari klo listing di exchanger abal-abal.

Yes. 2019 has been over already and we are on the first day of a new year, 2020. To be honest, I have a big expectation this year, especially for my rank achievement and my crypto assets. 2017 & 2018 were the worse years ever, I have nothing to say for those two years. While, in 2019, I have a little improvement in my Merit progress, plus I can join yahoo62278's signature campaign (bustadice) for the first time. Now, I am starting to improve both my account rank and my crypto assets. Well, let me tell you some of my goals in 2020 below.

MY 2020 GOALS

• Have more Bitcoin and Ethereum for my main crypto assets.
• Plan to learn how to be a weekly trader.
• Try to master techniques in predicting crypto prices.
• Give more contributions to forum.
• Collect 100 Merits and reach Full Member rank. Then, continue to move towards Sr. Member rank.

It's January 01, 2020. 2019 has been over already and we are in a new year, 2020. I'm really curious about something to happen this year. Since we've predicted some big things coming this year, I hope they will bring back crypto euphoria as in 2017. At least, the upcoming BTC halving really gives new hope to all crypto users. Or something new will come unexpectedly to reawaken the losing spirit. Hopefully, God grants it.




I wish bitcointalk will be better this year and can survive lasting. Good luck for us!

Saya pernah berkomentar di thread global tentang prediksi harga setelah halving yang ke 3: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5211195.msg53394605#msg53394605. Dari situ saya mempelajari 2 sumber tentang halving dan prediksi harga Bitcoin setelahnya. Saya simpulkan tidak ada nilai pasti harga BTC berapa setelah halving, hanya kisaran saja.



Kalo berdasarkan skema chart di atas, seharusnya harga BTC mampu menembus $100k setelah halving (2020-2021). Namun tidak ada jaminan akan berapa nilai maksimumnya, sebab harga Bitcoin sepenuhnya ditentukan oleh trend market. Oleh karena itu para expert pun punya prediksi yang berbeda-beda tentang itu. Contoh untuk prediksi harga di tahun 2020, ada beberapa pandangan: Tom Lee ($91,000), IHODL ($100,000), Josh Rager ($150,000), BeinCrypto ($144,000), dll.

I prefer to choose BTC since I probably have higher gaps between the buying price and selling price. Even if it means there is a chance to earn big profits or big losing. USDT price tends to always stable, while BTC price can go up or down suddenly. In my opinion, USDT is the right coin to keep our money, while BTC is the right coin to trade or invest our capital.      

It may be one of the reasons. However, actually, there are many projects that offer promising concepts, with real case products. However, once more,, they are born in the bear market, they follow the market condition, and they always have its challenges in choosing the exchange, in maintaining the community, and other factors.

Yeah, probably true. Now, to determine "a good project" is very difficult. They may have good concepts, but, the projects can not survive in this bear market. Many factors influence.

Compared to the other crowdfunding, it may be still worthy. However, I only see from the data above that the popularity and condition of IEO are decreasing.

Regarding your previous posts, if you got no single merit from them, it means those are not meritable.

I have no intention to bet on price prediction but what those experienced traders predict seems will come true. The current price was about $7,2xx and it moved down slowly. I am pretty sure that the price won't move very significant today. So, it is likely you have a good chance to win. However, don't claim to win too early, just wait till the end of the day.  



From: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/

The chart showed the price moved slowly between $7,3xx - $7,2xx on December 31. (from 00.00 to 18.00)
