581  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: whats you biggest day trading loss on: July 08, 2018, 09:56:30 AM
I had lost about 1 BTC in various coins in yobit. A coin named exit, that was a long way back. Exit was rising and I bought a lot of them at 6 satoshis a piece. But the price came down to 1 and never rose. I had to at last exchange it for dogecoin as they were not even exchanging for a satoshi.
582  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: POW and POS, which is better? on: July 07, 2018, 03:10:39 PM
As mentioned above POW is energy hungry and POS on the other hand have improved a lot over time and now can replace POW with same level of security.
As of decentralization, at current time, POS can be more decentralized than POW as mining are mostly done by industry grade miners.
583  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Google Approach Cardano In Promising Move For Crypto Adoption on: July 07, 2018, 02:57:52 PM
With Vitalik Buterin denying their partnership, google is now approaching cardano.
Though cardano could be a easy deal for google but the coin still has much to prove.
Google fund would quicken it's development but with lack of volunteers, it would be a difficult path ahead.
584  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ethereum classic a scam? on: July 06, 2018, 08:26:39 PM
Your personal misunderstanding with a moderator in official telelgram group of ETC won't make ETC a scam.
You might have been treated so while being treated in mass. The moderator might have mistaken your query for random price shout.
585  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: investment cryptocurrency or stock investment? on: July 05, 2018, 02:29:50 PM
Soon IPO would be taken over by ICO. And every companies would have stocks as tokens in blockchain.
But for the time being, Stock market investment and cryptocurrency investment both should be considered to balance your portfolio.
586  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Could this be the sign of bull run? on: July 02, 2018, 03:58:48 PM
Seems like the whales are in action.
But the bull run depends on how capable they are to drive and how easily others follow.
Because bull run can't be possible from limited number of investors and without the entry of new ones.
587  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Roger have a problem when people say Bcash ? on: July 01, 2018, 06:26:49 AM
BCAsh is a payment gateway in Bangladesh.
It's older than the Bitcoincash concept and Bcash refers to it instead.
So no person in sane mind would call Bitcoincash a Bcash.
Would anyone love bitcoin being called paypal?
588  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance going down? on: June 28, 2018, 12:42:21 PM
That might be a case for some moment in a day. But overall coinbene and bit-z are much less in daily volume than binance and other popular exchanges.
Currently the number one is OKEX, Followed by binance, huobi and bitfinex while bit-z is at 12 and coinbene is at 25.
589  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Buying ICO token from credit car !!! Why not possible ? on: June 28, 2018, 07:11:06 AM
Yes, I agree.
I was thinking from point of view of ICO owners, if would that be so difficult to add a payment gateway along with ETH. I guess not. In-spite of, it can reach to more people and have more token sale, they are not implementing, so I am trying to figure out if there is any other reason.

It is really easier for the issuers to calculate their needs, spending and requirements in USD rather than crypto as the price of cryptocurrency is very volatile. Most of the ICO also do convert the received coins to USD at current price and give the token in price relative to USD value.

Colombia - Senegal
Japan - Poland
Tunisia - Panama
Belgium/draw - England

Thoughts?

Mine are the same and today's bet are easier to guess.
But England has a better edge on the fourth match.
And possibly the winner of that game would be the winner for the world cup. Cheesy
591  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitmain will control 51% of Bitcoin soon? on: June 27, 2018, 12:07:49 AM
If bitmain get hold of 51% of BTC, then they can control which transactions to go through first, what would be the transaction cost, etc. Recently there's been news of some attack called 51% attack and it resembles that situation. Also only yesterday there has been news of Verge (XVG) getting hacked again and that attack was also 51% attack. It looks really scary at the moment with bitmain reached 42% mark already.

Every pool small are large can decide which transaction they want to mine first and of what transaction fees.
51% can have a much more devastating effects like reversing the blockchain and spending the same amount twice.

Cryptocurrency and governments are not enemies so they should come at peace to each other.
It's for everyones good to regulate cryptocurrency, it's trade and use. At least it would decrease the number of scams associated with it.
593  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: another source on: June 25, 2018, 03:46:53 PM
Seems like a cheap copy of bitcointalk. There were many unsuccessful copies of bitcointalk, some receive partial reorganization like bitcoingarden but being a bitcointalk's alternative as their sole purpose and failing on that.
594  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Many ALT hodlers are selling and leaving this market! on: June 25, 2018, 03:36:31 PM
For those that want to make whales richer than they already are- Goodluck: That is the mindset of ordinary retail investors!

Do you have any data to support it?
A different research shows a larger increase in the number of people investing in cryptocoins in the year 2018.
Though current sideways move is making a lot to wait, it has increased investors more in number than the leavers.
595  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Could we ever see AltCoins on Banks? on: June 25, 2018, 03:32:22 PM
Yes we would. But that would be online banks based on blockchain.
Current bank structure is too costly and non profitable to both depositors and loaners.
Blockchain banking would have low operation cost and a low difference in interest between investors and lenders.
596  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: With each drop crypto currencies are getting stronger! on: June 23, 2018, 05:56:51 PM
With every drop bitcoin is becoming stronger. It has again reached the new height of 41% dominance in coinmarketcap. With daily new coins, people need to rethink whether we are making cryptocurrency weaker or stronger.
597  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think the price of BTC will drop to 4000 dollars? on: June 23, 2018, 05:46:38 PM
It may. But the drop in the value after last years october have balanced itself around 6K$ and I believe we are going to a bull rather than a bear in the near future. $6K has maintained itself as the lowest value for bitcoin for some time now.
598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA WORLD CUP 2018? on: June 23, 2018, 05:41:04 PM
Germany's fate too is going to be decided by todays match where they play against sweden. Mexico have proved themselves to be a stronger team and a win over sweden and south korea would open up the next round for germany. Their last game lacked some pace.
599  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is Telegram the new measure of ICO success? on: June 22, 2018, 01:30:27 PM
Not at all. Most of the telegram groups are filled with bot accounts.
The only measure of ICO success I see is endorsement by popular celebrities, traditional media and at current time most importantly license from authority.
600  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Western Union thinks Ripple is trash! on: June 22, 2018, 01:26:29 PM
People will soon know Western Union as the company that used to give telegraph services in the 19th century.
The company is still not advanced from it's golden days back in 19th century and they don't see anything coming in 21st century.
