5801  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to know if someone places a big order on: November 30, 2018, 05:52:09 PM
There is simply no easy way.
One way would be through observation of the order book, sometimes you find when a large buy or sell order is placed at once.
The reason it's hard to identify such instances is when the wall decides to put up small buy and sell orders so as not to get noticed or even just manipulate the order book by placing an order to bring the price down or shoot it up then afterward cancel the order, this completely makes it useless to follow whale orders.
5802  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: PRICE STABILITY on: November 29, 2018, 10:48:50 PM
Do you agree if Bitcoin finds a meeting point for stable prices in the range of $ 4000 - $ 5000 ...? and I think you might not agree but if you look at a few weeks until now, this is what happens to the price of bitcoin still at $ 4000 maybe this is the best way for bitcoin or bitcoin that is still in transition

What do you think makes bitcoin very profitable for day traders? Where else can you buy something at $3700 on Monday and sell it at $4300 on Wednesday making a massive 600 profit within 3 days
It's the volatility that's the best thing to happen to bitcoin trading, not the stability.I don't understand why you would say stability is the best way for bitcoin. Do you want stability? Try forex trading for about a month and you will change this attitude as soon as possible.

But USD or GPB is more stable than btc. Why? Because its market is bigger (volume and marketcap). In my opinion bitcoin price would be more stable at 100k-1 mil$ price. It will have much bigger marketcap (it would be harded to push price) and it will have institutional investors on it.

In my opinion, the higher the price of BTC, the higher the volatility... Forget about marketcap, Bitcoin at 100K each coin? we shall see the mother of all volatilities. Imagine 20K swings maybe from 100K to 80K within 48 hours or less
5803  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Ideal cryptocurrency exchange - how it should look like? on: November 29, 2018, 10:09:54 PM
For example sometimes I forget at which price I ve bought coins. I want to see at least at which price I ve bought coins. ROI should be shown for all purchases etc. I am writing all of these as list of requirements.

I think this can be visible in your transaction history of most accounts in most exchanges... You can be able to view the price you bought the coins at in Sats or Ethers... Maybe what I would suggest is that alongside the sats/ethers, you add the actual USD value so that a trader can be able to make a rational decision with the current market swings
5804  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Would you use this app? on: November 29, 2018, 09:55:48 PM
Would be a great app in my opinion.
as long as it has extra features like
- Ability to push notifications in case sudden market changes... like 2% drop or rise
- If it had a floating widget
- Ability to show a summary of transactions in and out
5805  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: Ledger Nano S giveaway!! on: November 29, 2018, 09:46:31 PM
What made you to conclude that the Ledger Nano S we are giving away is second hand?
It is brand-new, sealed and untouched and if the winner asks then we can order and ship it directly from official Ledger website. Feel free to ask more questions Smiley

I think what he was trying to imply is that a hardware from a third party seller or distributor is not advisable. There have been recent issues of fake hardware wallets in circulation from third-party partners so it was advised that people acquire the hardware wallets directly from the original distributors.
Here is one of the recent so many circulating stories “Startling” discovery of Trezor’s fake wallets massive sale: precedents, victims and security tips

I would advise you if it were possible, in order to win back trust, use crypto which is equivalent in pcrice as the prize,  Either BTC, ETH or USDT put it in escrow and then run the competition. I think it would be better.
5806  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Need some answers for a project :D on: November 29, 2018, 05:31:34 PM
Here are my reasons

Decentralization
Most cryptocurrencies are decentralized which means the government can not control the currencies and most certainly it can not regulate the circulation of the cryptos as it usually does with mainstream fiat

Volatilty
As you may have witnessed. cryptocurrencies are very volatile at the moment which is not healthy for the economy of a nation. This kind of volatility can plunge the economy into the state of inflation and deflation at any time

Technological Ignorance by the masses
As you may have noticed, Very many people around the world as still about how cryptocurrencies work let alone the blockchain technology. This means their adoption will be so slow. This could be solved if blockchain course were made available in colleges and universities

Soring Cybercrime
Cryptocurrencies have been hit by a lot of scammers and hackers where billions of USD have been lost. This alone has made government very reluctant to take up cryptocurrencies as a new form of currency. Also, people are scared to take up cryptocurrencies for fear of losing their hard earned money to online criminals.

History of Bitcoin
We all know how bitcoin started. During its first years, it was majorly used to do illegal transactions involving drugs, guns etc. This sort of made bitcoin infamous in the eye of government and the general public. Bitcoin being the Godfather of cryptocurrencies implied that some people and governments still have the same attitude towards all other cryptocurrencies one of which is said that cryptocurrencies are a portal for money laundering and funding terrorism.
5807  Economy / Speculation / Re: List of Reasons that Explain the Price on: November 23, 2018, 11:55:02 PM
The only major reason in the drop in the price of bitcoin is the possibility of market manipulation by some whales whose reasons for the massive dumping is well known to them I can't imagine all the other reasons will have any great impact in the price of bitcoin I am speculating a gradual pump in the price after the dumping is over
But who are these whales everyone is talking about all the time? Everytime people are talking about whales 🐳 dumping so my question is when do they buy? 😂
If they have enough money to cause the BTC price to slump from 20k to 4K when selling off then surely they should be able to stir the price right back to 20k when they buy, shouldn't they?
5808  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How To Invest In Bitcoin on: November 23, 2018, 11:34:05 PM
Hi. Could you give me some suggestion about good bitcoin exchange? I know some but not sure which one is the best to use?
Binance is the best at the moment. Very high trade volume and also has a great mobile app which you can use while anywhere.
Most exchange like Huobi, Kucoin, Okex have a withdrawal charge of 0.001 BTC but binance withdrawal charge is a full half of that, 0.0005 BTC.
Support has never disappointed me unlike bittrex where I raised a ticket and never got a response until I gave up on it
5809  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: McAfee is crypto man of the year on: November 23, 2018, 11:27:08 PM
Cryptoman of the year are you kidding me?
Mcfee lost credibility a long time ago. You should go have a look on his twitter wall and see how low he has stooped. At one point he was even promoting shitcoin offerings and then at another point he was talking of introducing his own paper currency. The old man just looked like someone who was high on drugs to me.
5810  Economy / Speculation / Re: List of Reasons that Explain the Price on: November 23, 2018, 11:10:40 PM
~snip~

All the reasons you have listed above where there during the bullish trend that started early October and last upto late December last year,... So why is this year so different.
I don't think any of what you have mentioned about has really determined the price of BTC. It's all about demand and supply my friend. And it's purely normal.
5811  Economy / Economics / Re: Warning - The price will drop more on Black Friday! DO NOT Panic. on: November 23, 2018, 07:36:25 PM
if they use bitcoins as the payment option. This will balance out the over supply of bitcoins, when there is a increase in the demand for coins.
I feel this is a little exaggerated, If the merchant accepts bitcoin as payment, it doesn't exclusively mean that they will just store the bitcoins thus "increasing the demand for Bitcoins since there will be a few in supply"
Most merchants will actually trade them off once morefor fiat so that they can be able to restock. Demand comes when the actual number of people wanting to buy bitcoins at a particular time is massive... that's when we can see a significant rise in price.
5812  Other / Meta / Re: Attention! How To Fight Back Scams? on: November 22, 2018, 10:11:26 PM
You can make full use of this board Here Scam Accusations
You can post about possible scams and scam attempts there. It's a great board as you will also be able to see different scams reported by other collegues
5813  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto adoption on: November 22, 2018, 12:25:27 AM
How would government collect taxes from crypto gains then?
One thing is for certain, once blockchain technology is adopted, Government will find a way of creating it's own digital currencies for its institutions and citizens, that way it will be able to control and tax the citizens at its will. Bitcoin may still continue to operate but it will not be the official currency adopted by the government institutions so yes, they will collect taxes from cryptos.


Also, if something like ETH becomes big, how is the government gonna stop people from making pyramids, ponzis, and scams in general?
Has it kicked out all Ponzi schemes yet under the fiat currency adoption yet?
Do you know how long ponzi schemes have been around?
Scam will always be there in different forms. It's like corruption.. it's human greed for money. So long as money or currency is there, there will always be scams too.
5814  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This why you shouldn't be worried on: November 22, 2018, 12:11:33 AM
This is why you shouldn't be worried and should understand how bitcoin works



That's what you wanted to post
It will definitely rise again. all that matters is what one's strategy is. One should know when to exit or how long to hold. Either way, we are in it for profits, Isn't it?

ps. sorry I don't know how to load an image  Grin
It's all okay, Newbies are restricted from posting images but once you rank up to Jr Member, You should be able to pst images.
5815  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: HUMANCOIN reached softcap but DONT want to pay bountyhunters on: November 21, 2018, 11:59:23 PM
1) No project will scrow funds for bounty. if you find one, please enlight me. \
My friend, there are some projects that hand in bounty funds through Escrow, I have worked with a few of them. You need to research and dig deeper. Avoid lazy bounty managers

2) Yes, manager is very known and has a reputable background here.  He is HERO member, so definitely not a rookie
Being a hero member is nothing. Once greedy for money, always greedy, btcltcdigger being greedy has ended up managing scam projects and if you had looked at his trust, you should have realized that he is no longer a worthy bounty manager. He's already red tagged for previously managing scam project bounties

That said, sorry about what happened to you, it should just be a positive lesson to you to avoid careless bounty managers like btcltcdigger who don't do any due diligence.
5816  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading view alerts: Email-to-SMS {How does this work?} on: November 21, 2018, 11:11:27 PM
Emails to SMS work differently depending on your carrier
Here is a list of some of the gateway servers of different carriers SMS Email Gateways

You have to set up an account which will then be linked to your phone number
The area where hashes are is where your number is supposed to be (this is what we call an SMS Email) so each carrier has a different format. For example AT&T, just type in your ten digit phone number followed by @txt.att.net. It should look like 1234567890@txt.att.net.

Its this SMS Email they will use to foward you the alerts or texts...When an email is forwarded, it's converted as an SMS in ur phone.

5817  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: All about bounty payments and its effect to the project on: November 16, 2018, 09:45:14 PM
I think its better to pay hunters in eth or other alts rather than risking the price of their token or coin in that way they could also help their investors and boost confidence to their future and their project.
It's because the owners of the ICO don't want to spend the Ether or BTC they have collected. They would rather pay back the bounty hunters with their coins that have not yet shown the market value of which some of them turn out to be shitcoins.

Secondly, bounty hunters help with the liquidity of the token. Imagine if everyone bought tokens during ICO and holds them whereby no one wants to sell them off in an exchange. This means the daily volume of the token will be lower than expected and will eventually end up being delisted from some exchanges so bounty hunters dumping in another way is a necessary evil.

5819  Economy / Speculation / Re: Would you miss out on bitcoin investment even at this dip? on: November 16, 2018, 09:23:31 PM
But with bitcoin price falling into $5600-$5700 US i am going in now. No time to waste guys, nature has granted us another opportunity to invest into bitcoin before the final lift off.
It's always good to buy from the deep especially for a day trader but you can never know what next for the market. It could even deep further. All we hope is that it rises so you have got to be careful with your trades as for HODLERs, they have nothing to worry about
5820  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: ZEREX NETWORK - scam project! on: November 16, 2018, 09:05:40 PM
the current problem of the cryptoeconomy is the centralization, we are a real project, but for security we do not show our faces, imagine if satoshi showed the face, we are working hard
Why the fuck would you want us to trust our money to someone whom we don't even know how he/she looks like?
come on, get a life. Unlike you, Satoshi was no SCAMMER


We are a decentralized project, which will grow with you or without you
Lol, you don't have a chance to grow... let's wait and see 😎
