581  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Received an email Bittrex, Inc. Terms of Service on: March 01, 2018, 05:34:44 AM
Bittrex is ​​the most problematic crypto exchange. It  had previously required verification of the identity,
otherwise it would be impossible to withdraw your money.
                                                         

I understood that bittrex asked for the verification of your identity if you made withdrawals greater than 10 bitcoin, if I am not mistaken.
Yeah, you are mistaken. Bittrex will definitely ask you to do verification even without withdrawing. It is their policy and since they are based in the US, they have to follow the rules. Normally there are some certain limits of verification anyway, but to be able to get as much as that, it is definite for you to do an enhance verification.

I see no problem in all of these, and I do not know why people take it as one, why pick on an exchange when all they require is just simple and if it cannot be followed, there are other ones. I have never had an issue with bittrex and I am sure I ever will.
582  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin bull run begins now? on: February 28, 2018, 05:43:00 PM
Just hold your horses everyone. Bull run hasn't started yet. Its like we are having a small pullback everyday specially when we are about to start a rally. It will go as high as $11,700 then a retracement below $11,000 then it will bounce back once again. A bullrun is when the price rise unexpectedly which we haven't seen as of yet. Nevertheless, its a good sign that we have this kind of spurts from time to time, which means that investors are now slowly getting into the market. We may see bullrun in the next coming weeks or so, the questions is are you already onboard when the herd starts its run?
I will consider it as some set of people who are trying to run faster than their shadow. We are still even in a downtrend channel and we have not broken out of it and some are looking for bull run. Until we break out of it, consolidate for a while and then test the upper resistance to break out of it, before we will start seeing some rush and FOMO buy in. For now, there is nothing like it, and we can only wait and see what happens.
583  Economy / Economics / Re: What will happen to the banks if people uses cryptocurrencies more than fiat? on: February 28, 2018, 02:12:35 PM
the bank will change too.
They don't have choice but to embrace the changes and they have to adopt cryptocurrencies too.
They will change it into digital platform (digital bank) it actually happening right now that there is now a digital bank for a crypto holder who want to deposit their cryptocurrency.
It's happening but with digital fiat currency not with cryptocurrencies as for now they are still looking at it on the negative way because they don't fully trust it because its decentralized.
I find it really difficult to imagine how a crypto bank works. I mean, it should be safe and secured which means our deposits are insured too. Is it really possible to insure crypto funds given the high volatility?
It will work like the usual banking system, deposit, withdrawal, ATM's, loans, etc. By the essence of being anonymous in this type of currency will be gone. You know how the banks are working right? They are requiring different identifications and other validity just for their depositor or someone who is in need for their service. Yes, it possible to insure crypto funds but I don't know on how they will make it and adjust to the matter.
I ever doubt if that would happen unless of course they are going to be doing that for the common man who may not know how to make use of the internet or keep their funds safe. We already have a bank ourselves which is our wallet, and maybe they can function in the area of loans, ATMs which is pretty reasonable and I believe will be their first target, and maybe as an exchange, but the usual deposit thing, I am not sure. Why would I ever want to deposit my bitcoin in a bank, when there is a wallet without me having a third party ?
584  Economy / Economics / Re: Are you thinking about the future? on: February 28, 2018, 01:17:57 PM
It is a good idea to put a % of profit away for your kids in a wallet and just let it build up, depending on the age of your kids imagine 18 years in the future how much it would be worth if bitcoin goes to where we all hope it does.
While that is OK I do not think it is necessary to make any kind of distinction between the money you are already investing and investing for your kids after all most of the money you have invested in bitcoin is not going to be used for something you like, most parents put their children above them anyway so any profits you get from bitcoin are  already going to benefit your kids in one way or another.
I like the statement of most parents putting their kids above them. The essence of what we mostly do is to be able to give our kids the kind of life they would appreciate and most times at a certain stage of our life, it is usually not about us anymore and at the end of the day, even though we are living a good life ourselves, our children will be the one to live it fully once they start growing up. Best life, education, and so many other things we may not have had the chance to have.

I do feel most of the things I am doing now is so my children will not have to ask me in the long run where I was when my mates were busy joining the cryptocurrency train. Grin I am always thinking about the future and that is the reason why we are here anyway, knowing that this is the future for cryptocurrency and the fact that being here today would mean a great deal for most of us.
585  Economy / Speculation / Re: Trading is gambling after all on: February 27, 2018, 06:48:09 AM
I have experienced shady exchange practices first hand back in the early days. In my cases it was on Mintpal and Cryptsy. The issues were Bitcoin deposits not posting during a massive crash of a certain altcoin, where the deposits posted exactly at the moment the market was bought up again. Disabling deposits and withdrawals of coins with massive spreads accross various exchanges, where everything was enabled again once the spread was gone. Orderbook manipulation where the orderbook adjusted itself based on how I was modifying a buy or sell order before I even executed the order. Altcoins that suddenly got dumped down massively, where a few minutes later the exchanges announced that they will be delisted -- this is something Poloniex has done last year as well. Overall, great analysis!
This has even happened recently and honestly that sucks, knowing that a lot of these exchanges are mostly the ones playing with the market to prevent somethings from happening. The Altcoins getting dumped and then you getting the news of delisting is even more common on bittrex and that has made me as a whole concentrate more on coins that are at least better. One thing with trading is that with knowledge, you can make some predictions based on where the market may be leading and this is where swings come in, and as long as you are not controlling the market, just stick to your own knowledge.
586  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin had a drop recently, that means is a good time to buy some? on: February 27, 2018, 06:13:46 AM
This is a good time to buy when bitcoin prices fall like this, do not hesitate to buy bitcoin because I'm sure that by the end of 2018 bitcoin will surge in price and that's what we want.
Waiting for a perfect moment for a long term investor is what has made a lot of people to miss a good buying opportunity. I always tell people that as long as you do not know when to buy, just buy in as much as you are not buying into fomo and you are buying at dip. This period is good, and you can even decide to play with some margin by buying in bit by bit until you decide to go fully in once the trend of the market changes.

If you are planning to be a long term holder, you are still in a very good buy zone and you have nothing to worry about. You are still better than buying at the top anyway. We are still in a downtrend channel, and you are still buying at the dip, so you should be fine in the long run, the most important thing is to buying, forget about whatever is happening with the market and come back probably in a year's time.
587  Economy / Speculation / Re: Quinlan Associates: Bitcoin Price will Crash to $1,800 in 2018 on: February 27, 2018, 04:44:11 AM
I read the article while their predictions are low, at the same time I cannot argue with them in several points, we know we are in a bubble, we do not know if we hit the floor yet but it was clear bitcoin could not be worth 20k, now they are not predicting bitcoin is going to disappear just that the bubble will burst and then and even bigger growth will follow, this seems about right if you ask me, the only aspect in which most of the forum members will disagree is the price at which they think bitcoin will hit rock bottom.
Even if we were in a bubble, how does that make it possible for bitcoin to crash to $1,800? That is pretty much absurd. So, in that case, what happened to all those support we had back when bitcoin bounced from $2900 during the china palaver, when bitcoin rallied around $5000 to and fro and so on.

Hence, we will just keep popping those supports like soda and keep going down? I am sure they are just some bunch of old associates who are still connected with the old world and have nothing to offer in this new age except to create some nuisance.
588  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin $ 100,000 will be in 2018? on: February 26, 2018, 05:31:41 AM
Well, i'm rooting for it and some people here will consider bitcoin as the main investment asset in cryptocurrency, 100,000 usd is what i wanted to see in the next few months or more so better to hold bitcoin in your wishlist so the value will increase.
I firmly believe that bitcoin can not reach $ 100,000 by the end of 2018. We can see the days of bitcoin prices are dropping sharply after reaching $ 11,800. As far as I'm concerned, the $ 12000 level is a very difficult transition and may continue to fall further. Because of that uncertainty, I believe the bitcoin price will not reach $ 100,000 at the end of the year.
I could not include voting on this thread, the administration turned off this function, but I will tell you that the majority thinks that bitcoin will be able to reach this amount. See you in this thread at the end of the year and summarize))
I did not really see the majority picking that from this thread. There could be a possibility considering how the year ended in 2017 and if we are to judge with respect to that, one may believe the possibility is there. However, we should not always expect so much and in as much as we are bullish on btc, testing new ATHs year in and year out may not always be the case and $100,000 though is a pretty huge one but who knows? If we end up having another FOMO year, that may be the case.
589  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: ICO investment Risk on: February 24, 2018, 10:49:28 AM
I think it is right ICO investment is Risk . Because some Scam ICO come to market and collect money and go out. But some very good ICO come to market give 10 to 50X profit .
This is why there are parameters to always look out for, to be able to play safe in any investment one wants to do. Take a look at the team, their works in the past, how they have been doing, if there is a product, if it will be relevant and how things can eventually turn out. This is what matters most and if you can do that, you will always be fine. Being careful in any investment should always be the first priority of any investor. As long as you understand the risk, always be calculative.

Every investment comes with a risk and not just ICOs. There is just a lot you always need to look out for which is why in any investment, it is always good to familiarize yourself with the system and see how things work before leaping. Things are changing though, investors are becoming smarter than before and I am sure a time will come when people will pay less attention to scam bounties anymore.
590  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this a good time to start buying bitcoin or should i wait? on: February 24, 2018, 09:46:58 AM
Hi, a friend told me that this is the best time to start buying btc because it's price is dropping, but do you think i should wait and see if it keeps going down? I only have a small amount of money to invest. Thanks for your help, I'm new to this world
We can see that the past bitcoin prices are dropping sharply and reached $ 9600 after just rising to $ 11,800, down more than $ 2,000. I think this is a very good price so we can buy bitcoin. Bitcoin prices are recovering, and now they hit $ 9900, so we can buy bitcoin at this time of the day because, according to my calculations, bitcoin will hit $ 10200 in the coming hours.
We have had a lot of good prices already when we hit the bottom and some people would still have been waiting without any information to make use of to take a decision until they missed it and that is the same thing that would happen even with what we are having now. Bitcoin to me looks good for now, but for someone who wants to take their time, they better know what they are doing, or else they will wait while some are already making so much and end up joining with the FOMOs.
591  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to Come Back? on: February 24, 2018, 09:10:27 AM
The best thing you need to do is stop and just wait for the coins you are holding to increase to an amount wherein you can pay your mortgage. At first it is not easy but it will be worth it once you see the profits. And since bitcoin is trying to recover from the dip, take some time off and just wait.
Patience is the only key in this case if this man want to revere the mortgage price he had put in some business. As you have said, the market is down now but this is no time to worry, bitcoins are recovering gradually and slowly as the price charts have started their uphill journey. Holders must keep patience with them and only this one trait will enable them to make huge money later.
Yeah, his case is critical already and there is nothing he can do now than to have some little bit of patience and then see how it all turns out. Unfortunately, he has already lost a lot of money into ponzi schemes and now he has made a good call buying some coins and holding for the long of it at least at this dip. He should be able to get the best from them in a short while once the market recovers, but that was a very huge risk to take. However, I wonder why he had to choose Cryptopia ?

Keep calm, you should go to work to earn more income, along with hold the BTC and Eth the most potential co.
Probably, the world will get him busy and he would not have to worry himself too much over a situation he has no control over. The first mistake was investing in ponzi, but then, if he can be patient enough, he made a good decision investing in the top 20 as long as he ended up buying them during panic. I am sure even by now he should have started seeing some little profit on some of them.
592  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's the worst trading decision you've ever made? on: February 24, 2018, 07:23:17 AM
I think my worst trading decision is EMC2. LOL. I spent about 0.2 BTC to buy EMC2 when its price was only 0.00001 BTC/EMC2 then I sold it for 0.00002 BTC/EMC2. Also I doubled all my money but if I were more patient at the time maybe I would have earned more than that 7 or 8 times cause only 1 month after that EMC2 price rised to more than 0.0001 BTC Sad
Well, that is if the OP is talking about signals gotten from indicators, Technical analysis and Fundamental analysis.

In this case, I am sure the OP is referring to Telegram signals where someone calls the shot and the followers do the usual thing which is to follow blindly. That is a huge problem for someone who wants to trade, because there is no way they cannot end up losing a lot at the end. It is always good to have the knowledge and be able to make decision without being told what to do.
593  Economy / Economics / Re: Companies that are scary on: February 24, 2018, 06:20:07 AM
For me I trust the companies most specially the social media. Right from the start equality in social is fare. Not only that I owe Facebook a lot because they are giving me the right client.

It doesn't scare me most specially the companies of social media, maybe for people who don't have the right credibility or should I say whose hiding from the law or the people whose have the intention on doing bad to someone.
As long as it has to do with internet. Trust no company. They may be giving you the right client which you are obviously paying for, but you would not be more surprise later on if you find out that you have been paying even much more. Privacy is something that scares me the most when it comes to social media and that is why I have limited my usage anyway, most especially when it comes to some certain information.

This is a digital age, and if you want to start worrying now, you should have worried a long time ago and stay away from the internet, cause as it is, there is really nothing you can do about it for now. This is normal and I am sure when it comes to invasion, then we should worry more about social media than even the likes of amazon. You never know who is looking at you right now as you are reading this.
594  Economy / Economics / Re: If the world uses a single currency on: February 24, 2018, 05:42:05 AM
If the world will use a single fiat or cryptocurrency, the econom wouldnt chnge at all. Economy rises on how productive a country is. Whether we use the same currency, that doesnt affect the growth of economy. Its just like an agreement that we do hve same currency yet our country's distribution wouldntbe the same.
It's quite impossible to happen for a system of currency to have one united currency to follow by all part or countries all over the world. Becayse most of the countries one to develop and to established their own currency to established a well developed country as a independent nation.
The OP must have thought about this assuming we are making use of only digital currency, but we have to understand that so many people are limited to technology and of course have no knowledge about how anything on the internet even works let alone making use of a digital currency. That is by the way, if we are going the physical cash way, where everyone decides to use the dollar for every transaction for instance, then what happens to the independence of those countries knowing that no one can be coerced and every independent country is free to do whatever they wish to do.
595  Economy / Speculation / Re: 2018 end of the year BİTCOİN price on: February 23, 2018, 07:34:45 PM
No, of course not. Stop creating this kind of threads because we all know that bitcoin's price is always going to change.

Do not you think that $65k is a huge amount of money? Please, be realistic, because the price made a x15 during the last year it doesn't mean that during this year it will be worth $70k or just $1m.
Hi guys,
The first guess is me    65k-70k USD
Yes the price right now is not going to pump but I do not know what to think, the price seems to have the potential to keep growing since we will get new developments in bitcoin that will make the price rise but at the same time after such a huge growth last year I do not know how much more money can be invested in bitcoin.
I feel this would be that kind of year when we will be having some little up and down over and over and over and no ATH to celebrate and even if we end up having any at all, it may not be something too high from our last one. No one really expected the value of bitcoin to get to $19k, but I guess we ended up having it, so let's see how it goes and probably we only ended up sharing part of the ATH of this year with last year.

I think it will end the year with a blast though we are just in the first quarter of the year. But based on my observation ad analyis, I think that bitcoin will reach around more than 30k USD. Good enough that there is really high demand on bitcoin.
Hopefully it does most especially if we see some FOMO movements like last year. Although, it sounds very realistic seeing this happen, since we actually had $19k as the top last year, but I would not be surprised, if that is not where we will be trying to target as well by the end of the year unless there is just some news to cause some gyrations and bull rally in the market.
596  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price stabilizes? on: February 23, 2018, 06:09:44 PM
If the price is compared to altcoin, then the answer is yes. Bitcoin is more stable than altcoin

But the Bitcoin price is never stable when compared to the FIAT currency
Fiat is controlled, so you cannot compare a decentralized market to a centralized market and that is what makes the idea of cryptocurrency fun anyway.

With bitcoin leading the market almost 99% of the time, except for some few altcoins that may get pumped, BTC has shown huge sign of strength with a lot of altcoins being affected with her price action. For those who may love trading though, trading against fiat really makes a lot of sense considering the price fluctuation of the general market.
597  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What stage of adoption is Crypto currently at? on: February 23, 2018, 01:26:51 PM
Just wanted to know where you guys think we are. Are we still in the early adoption stage?

At what stage of the dot com era would you put us at? Dial up lol?
In my opinion, cryptocurrency is still in the very early adoption stage considering all of the population have little to many experiences to technology. It might be a little hard for people to adopt cryptocurrency since acceptance to change is quite hard to be achieved. Bitvoin might taken a step forward since its one hit wonder stage last year.
Yeah, change is one thing that does not come pretty fast, and adaptation is always gradual. However, there is always a point in time when that massive adaptation just ends up coming due to some news and some real life usage that ends up making people to see the benefit and how they can easily make use of it in their day to day transactions and at that stage, the mainstream stage, then we are hitting out from the growth phase. For now, we are still very early so we should be thanking our stars.
598  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Buying Coins on: February 23, 2018, 12:56:59 PM
It will still depend upon to you, if that exchanger is running better in your place and try to pick a exchanger that is trusted.
But before buying you should check first the coin you will gonna buy, read all the information about it.
Then buy it when it is low and wait, be patient because your profit is on the way to you soon.
Most local exchanges will not even have what he is looking for. The most important thing in buying cheap coins is to understand the present trend and then knowing how undervalued some of the coins are. Then if he has fiat, he should look for a way to convert them into bitcoin from any of the local exchanges like you have said, and then use bittrex or binance to buy any of those coins that he considers cheap.

I would advise him to just stick to bitcoin anyway since he does not have any knowledge about any coin or token, unless he is willing to do some research.
599  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's effect Facebook banned will have on ICOs today on: February 23, 2018, 12:25:56 PM
Facebook is not doing good for banning ICO's or Crypto coins advertisement, ICO's are not like hyips,ptc sites or any other ponzi schemes it is like pure investment and now maximum ICO's KYC is compulsory so it is unfair by Facebook.Facebook is world largest advertisement media so it will definitely effect the incoming ICO's business.

they only banning ads for crypto or ICO, not banning crypto or ICO page, thats not big problem. ICO or crypto devs can open facebook bounty, they still can promoting their program on fb. about effective or not, i dont know, but its like effective
I do not know this certainty, about Facebook tire crypto.
I still see some people sharing news or advertisements about ICO.
even facebook social media campaigns are still valid and have not been deleted.
no problem for me.
There is what they call traditional Facebook advert where you can make payment, have a banner and then your banner or your page can be targeted to the users of Facebook based on the demographics you set.

Here, you have to pay in USD, and this is what was banned. It has nothing to do with the pages, or the bounty campaigns, as obviously this will keep going on, but the other side of it, like how we have Google ad but this time Facebook ad, that is what you won't be seeing anymore, at least for now.
600  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO scam!! on: February 23, 2018, 08:40:39 AM
there are many ways as ICOs are usually investments in very early phase of the companies, some of them have literally nothing to show for their work. Therefore some of them simply won't deliver and scam their investors.
Exactly, most ICOs do not even have any product, and all they have to show is some website and whitepapers and I wonder why people fall for that. I feel the most important thing they always end up missing out like the OP did not mention, is basically the team.

I leave all the other things on one side, and I focus more on the team, their past achievements, how good I feel they can deliver and that is where I make my decisions before going ahead with the whitepaper and some other things I really need to dig further on the project.
