5841  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will dogecoin pumped in 2018 ?? on: October 27, 2018, 07:55:55 AM
it seems that doge coin is still unpredictable, sometimes the price of dogecoin can rise higher or can drop dramatically. now dogecoin is still the favorite coin that many traders have even though the price is in a low position, so maybe doge will continue to grow and we wait for a surprise from doge.
Doge is always unpredictable but I would not consider it as a coin I will want to be holding for so long, but would rather just keep seeing it as a coin to just be trading based on the movement.

This is a coin that lacks development, and it is a more of speculative coin with nothing much to expect from it in the long run. So, in this case, I would not see doge as a coin any one should even be considering as something to be holding as an investment basically, while waiting for a moon when there are likely other better projects with product that are not classifies as jokes one can invest in.
5842  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: December is coming no real growth for alts yet... on: October 25, 2018, 12:14:59 PM


People in the world of cryptocurrency are all hoping, expecting, praying and also wishing that come the end of this year -- December 2019 -- there can be a bull run for both Bitcoin and the rest of the cryptocurrency market. Sadly, things are not yet picking up and I am not seeing big signs that we can have it this year.

I am concerned that if there will be bull run (even a mild one will do) this year, we can be starting the year 2019 with a gloomy mood setting up for the rest of the year a bearish situation. Of course, not unless maybe there can be that ETF thing approval from SEC maybe that can be the big difference.



If you keep hold your coins, it will become hard pressure into your mind and strategy. Down trend still running and every news can't create speculation to raise higher price action in significant value, everything look's empty for me. I'm not suggest you to cut loss but think and do realistic is need to be done. See again your strategy and fix it, good luck to you.   
The way a lot of people are always in haste to experience something is the main reason why this market is really speculative driven most of the time. Sometimes, I wish people can actually get to listen to themselves when they are saying certain things.

We are still in quarter 4 and it has not ended yet, but one thing certainly is that when it comes to huge growth and bull run for altcoins, it does not have to take couple of months to see them achievable; it is all about patience and how far you are able to take advantage of accumulating now.
5843  Economy / Economics / Re: Poor Internet Services Could Cause Hamper Crypto Adoption in Africa on: October 25, 2018, 11:28:14 AM
Well here in Africa, Nigeria to be specific, the number of people who have access to internet is more than the whole population of some European countries.
And currently Nigerian is the 5th largest country where bitcoin is traded! ...The only thing that could hamper the growth and adoption of crypto and blockchain in Africa is the skepticism of the people towards the technology. Which can be easily resolve with good amount of educational programs,
crypto and blockchain conferences will also do a lot of good in the space.
I guess I can say the same over here as well. I am not a Nigerian, but I have been to Nigeria, and even though I could say I was just in some of the major cities here on some philanthropic mission, I would say it is not very bad to the point at which a lot of people put it generally like Africa is just some bush with no one having an access to internet.

It may be low when compared to the population in general, but it is not that bad when comparing the statistics of those who have access to internet in Africa and in the global space. Like you said, with good educational programs, and more exposures, this is something that can easily be adopted by a lot of people in this part of the world.

Chilean Study Shows Only 39% Have Heard Of Cryptocurrency

A recent study performed by researchers in Chile shows that of their subjects, only 39% have heard of cryptocurrency…

https://www.trackcoinmarket.com/en/crypto-news/34226/chilean-study-shows-39-heard-cryptocurrency
Well, that is just only a study applicable to Chile, but really, to look at the statistics and the fact that we are still in an early phase, it is not a bad one at all. 39% as far as I am concerned is a pretty good start and I know as time goes on, there would be more people who will want to be a part of the cryptocurrency space both in Chile and in the whole world entirely.

For most part when we are looking at the global space entirely, it is still a little bit low and I am sure we are not even close to 5% globally, so which means we still have a long way to go, but we are going to get there.
5845  Economy / Economics / Re: Bullish news: Fidelity made it easier for hedge funds to invest in crypto on: October 19, 2018, 12:47:46 PM
we hope this is could be main trigger for bitcoin and cryptocurrency price movement.so all price could be recovered soon while it launched.
Well, it could be a trigger or not, but one thing is certain, news like this is a pretty good development for the space. Fundamentally like someone said, news are tending towards the positive direction these days and this is actually some of the things that always end up bringing about some bullish moves in the market.

Hopefully we even get to see this move made by Fidelity to support the ETF decision in the long run but whichever way, for those of us who are here now, we are pretty much on the right track and there is so much happening in the long run in terms of growth and development in this space.
5846  Economy / Speculation / Re: What the price of Bitcoin will be reached in 2019? on: October 13, 2018, 02:08:24 PM
If ETF gets approved price goes above 100K USD, if ETF rejected price 4500/8000, there will be another global crisis larger than 2008, many money from stock market will migrate to crypto reaching trillions of dollars, but for btc reach the moon and beyond we need regulation.
Do not deceive yourself mate, the truth of the matter is that even when ETF gets approved and the market start moving up, it would have moved up even without ETF approval eventually. ETF would just usher in more money into the space and probably we get to see some maturity of the market in the long run, but things do not just happen like that all of a sudden.

What the price of bitcoin would reach by 2019 is something that would remain a mystery but only if we have to be optimistic, there could be chances of seeing it doing pretty well and maybe we would have started seeing some uptrend recovery gradually by then.
5847  Economy / Economics / Re: Today is 10/10/18, the rise of the Phoenix according to The Economist on: October 13, 2018, 12:55:38 PM
Interesting! I didn't knew that there's one that was published earlier than what I know which was around 1998. There's no significant movement if its for the market but only a dip.

These conspiracies are really interesting if its coming into reality.
Yeah, there was which I got to know on this thread some few weeks back anyway. It is just that with the way things are, bitcoin or will I say Satoshi probably beat them to it.

It was just a proposal then anyway, it is not like they really had anything plan and all they were probably busy looking at was to have a centralized country that is just controlled by a single body and I wonder how that would have worked actually, considering that most countries are independent and could make their own decisions as they please. Bitcoin however, is gradually filling up that space anyway, being a decentralized currency.
5848  Economy / Economics / Re: Can be done? on: October 11, 2018, 01:15:28 PM
"Innovator" with no successful startup is just want repreneur in this world. I can have a million ideas and I have actually been a part of two companies that made over 3 million euroes so far yet I do not call myself "innovator". Without a proof of how great you did in the past noone in their right mind would give you the help you are looking for.

You are not a coder, you are not a designer, you do not have the money, you are basically asking others to make your dream come true for free and to make you super rich just because you have come up with an idea. Just the idea will never worth a single damn cent. Either learn to code or find a source of income that will supplement this idea.
5849  Economy / Speculation / Re: How is future looking for Bitcoin in 2019? on: October 10, 2018, 12:43:43 PM
No one can predict what happen in bitcoin in the next year but if we look at this year , we are seeing that this year was a major bear market like it was back in 2015-16. And there is still a chance that we will end this year at low price.  So I am hoping that in 2019 we finally will get to see rise in Bitcoin price.
Yes everyone was waiting for the rise in the prices.The prices fluctuated a lot this year!

I think bitcoin has a bright future because 2018 has sucked so far and I do not think it can go on forever like this. I think the price of 20k is a question mark but if we check historically what happened I have couple of ideas. Either this will go up and stay there for a while like go from 6 to 9 or 10 and stay there for a while and than do these swingy moves there, like go to 8k and 11k constantly and so forth.

Or it will go down even further to 4k or whatever even maybe lower and stay there for a while and go back to 5k-6k range and stay there for a loong time before going back up again. I do not see 20k in the range anytime soon tho.
5850  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My luck is very bad for crypto trading 😞 on: October 09, 2018, 12:19:21 PM
I think my luck is very bad. I can not earn good profits on cryptocurrency trading any day. An example of this is Doge coin. I invested in Doge coin probably 2 months ago. Which I bought 39 satoshi and bought a total of 126000 doge coins. It was almost 2-3 weeks, I did not check the price. But when I check price on coinmarketcap a few days ago, see Doge coin 100 satoshi cross. After that I was very happy. But when I login into exchange, for selling Doge coin, I was shocked, seeing that my coins were sold in 49 satoshi. I did not remember when I had a sell order. After seeing that I was upset. That was not the first time, before several times, I could not sell many coins at a good price 😞


But finally, an education has realized that if you buy a coin for long or short time, then you should check price minimum one time every day.
Sometimes I experienced the same way as you did. I feel so upset and very frustrated when I already sold it and then the price will go up like that. This was very bad for a trader or holder but then this will be a big lesson for us that we should become more careful next time.
You are not in a bad luck while trading, you are unfortunately in the biggest bear market in the history of bitcoin (well maybe not) and it has taken for over 10 months now closing to 1 year full circle of prices staying low or dropping. Which means there are few people who make money and everyone else loses money in bitcoin. Now if you think it is your fault that you are losing money in trading than I can suggest 3 important things to do.

First of all never trade on a rush, just take your time and decide what to trade carefully, buying and selling on news and things you hear is bad. Second is keep some of your bankroll and invest with some part of it, never go all in. Third and last one is invest in stuff you know deeply, never invest in something you do not know by heart.
5851  Economy / Economics / Re: Will Yale’s Investment in Crypto Lead to More Institutional Investors? on: October 09, 2018, 11:20:00 AM
Will Yale’s Investment in Crypto Lead to More Institutional Investors?

This week, CCN reported that Yale, the prestigious Connecticut-based academic institution, has invested in a $400 million crypto fund operated by veterans in the digital asset and finance space.

Coinbase Inc. co-founder Fred Ehrsam, former Sequoia Capital partner Matt Huang, and billion dollar crypto hedge fund Pantera Capital ex-employee Charles Noyes reportedly launched a new cryptocurrency hedge fund called Paradigm after raising more than $400 million from various investors.

The $30 billion endowment in Yale is led by David Swensen, who invested an undisclosed amount in Paradigm, following the establishment of the institution’s vision to allocate 60 percent of its assets in alternative assets by the end of 2019, like crypto.

Why is Yale’s Move to Crypto Significant?
Yale and Swensen operate one of the largest college endowments in the global market. For three decades, the Yale endowment has outperformed every academic institution within the US, allowing Swensen to beCOME the most-watched and influential figure in the market of institutional investors.

In June, billionaire investor told Erik Schatzker at the Bloomberg Invest Summit in New York that the entrance of a major institutional investor into the crypto market will lead to other major firms accumulating cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum at a large scale.
https://www.ccn.com/will-yales-investment-in-crypto-lead-to-more-institutional-investors/
Yale investing is not a huge news to us at all. Yale is a freaking university after all, we have seen proper financial institutions investing into crypto, we have seen wall street types investing into bitcoin as well.

Hell winklevii twins invested into bitcoin quite early on and they are as uptight as it gets in finance worlds. If you want to get excited about something for the future of institutional investors know that the new gp morgan ceo is a person who is pro-crypto which means they will take a look at the crypto space a lot more and when gp morgan does something all others of financial world will definitely follow.
5852  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Auto Trading Websites on: October 08, 2018, 01:20:35 PM
hey there, i tried to start to invest in bitcoin with normal wallets, to trade by myself if i see the courses move.
sadly you have to pay so much to buy and sell bitcoin, that its not really worth to do it.

i am looking for websites, that are doing auto trades. I've read a lot about them, but every website seems to be scam or not real or you have to invest too much to start.
I dont want to invest a lot if i first want to see if something is trustable.

do you guys know auto trading websites that are secure? do you use something like that too?
I do not trust any website that requires my api and secret as well I do not trust. I have worked with a lot of auto trading bots and never gave any of my info to any of them unless it was to download the bot to my own computer and make it work there.

Not that I do not trust the bot makers because if you are already making ton of money from your customers there is no need to also scam them and make money however if you give your secret to them than it means hackers will want to hack into that website and try to either get your money out and if your api is not "withdraw open" which usually is than they will pump a coin with all of your coins and get out with profits.
5853  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Give your opinion about the current market and future on: October 08, 2018, 11:52:06 AM
The market today is quite stable and Bitcoin closed above the $6,550 zone and rebounded to $6,630. And Ripple has taken over Ethereum on three occassions in 2018, these means ripple have a chance to grow more because of current events happened. I think need to buy some coin like Ripple, Bitcoin and Ethereum.  

Ripple is based on speculation not on adoption and use. Do you know any cases of merchants accepting it? Have you ever bought something with ripple or paid someone?
Ripple attracts people because they like pump and dump schemes just like they like HYIPS and ponzis.

Current market is in the early stage of recovery. We're going to go up in the next 6 months.
I think right now the market seems like its slow and not doing anything but in reality market is just watching and waiting for a news. If there is a great news that comes the bull run with it. If we can hear something like "china now allows crypto and regulates it" or something than the price will increase insanely.

Asia is a big market and we need asia to get up and running, so far it has been banned and holding back. So the future is great looking to me because I am just waiting for a good news, with one great news the price will be going up really high, I am optimistic like that about crypto in general not just bitcoin.
5854  Economy / Economics / Re: China moves further towards cashless society on: October 06, 2018, 11:35:05 AM
So China will abandon all the people who don't have wechat or don't know how to pay through cashless format? I don't think this is appropriate manner they need to provide all the available payment method and leve it to the people to use what they want,imposing some system by arrogant commands will leads to lot of problems and hate against that system.
Grin China has just been doing freaky things over the years and I am not surprised that something like this would be coming up. There is just this thing about them and using force to want to do everything, well, I understand that is something that is applicable to their system of governance over the years anyway. It is really not appropriate to start putting things by all means on every individual.

What happened to choice? What happened to freedom of will? Honestly, it is just appalling and I wonder how the citizens really cope in this region, would have moved out long ago for greener pastures where I would not have to live the day thinking of the government coming up with some silly policies that will affect a lot as it segregates some set of people.
5855  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how to stay sane?? on: October 05, 2018, 10:58:26 AM
What if do some vacation and take some rest with you family, have some quality time with them. The crypto market is a place where the competition is the main game, so expect that some are winning and some are not. That is the fact on this market, so if you want to have a good time while winning, you need to stay calm and remember that this is a game of emotion.
The best way I believe to always stay sane and keep your head cool is to remember that some times in the past years, a lot of people considered the likes of bitcoin has overpriced even at $10 and when the market tends to go down, you will get to see those claiming he market is dead and some other claims.

If bitcoin can be within the range of $6000 - $7000 and still being considered low, then I want you to imagine what the others would really be like in this scenario when we start seeing real life usage most especially.
5856  Economy / Economics / Re: How Binance Decentralized Crypto Exchange Launch in 2019 Will Impact the Market on: October 05, 2018, 10:16:25 AM
It's his plan B, for the day Binance won't have the choice to abide by the laws in case of a new regulation pop out from Europe. Smart guy, already trying to escape a potential problem Cheesy.
A question is how long the beta stage will be, because in the crypto world a beta version can be 2 years long; lol

I am just curious, but how would a decentralized exchange with "identified" owners be affective against measures by a government to close them down? The Binance owners will still be held responsible for the development of the technology, even if it cannot be stopped.

They will also be targeted by governments and imprisoned, if they gain any income or profit from these exchanges. This is a flawed argument and business plan, once the owners of this is exposed.  Huh
I can imagine it being a plan B, but I would not say this is somewhat of a plan that would fly in the first place, if the government of Malta does not want it. I cannot say for sure how things would pan out in the long run, but for what it is worth, we all know how government really frown upon decentralization and the only thing still holding them back right now, is because they know centralized exchanges can still be regulated but coming up with a decentralized exchange and then see it grow big, that would be some hell of a challenge and threat to the government. That is what I think anyway.

Ofcourse the whole world is changing and young kids will be our saviour in the future, if most of all the GEN X gone. Millennials will rule the world of crypto/digital. Remember the Dot.com bubble? When GEN X was totally disagree on the system and now they're adopting it.
Even without crypto, the world has been tending towards the digital age, we have been seeing how most developed countries have been going cashless and things have been turning digital anyway even before we started seeing cryptocurrency taking our minds, and for one thing, I am pretty sure that this is the evolution of money, and most definitely in the long run, we will see a more digital age and a more digital ways of doing things all over the world. So many developments have been going on with blockchain technology and AI, and I believe this is the start of the digital age.
5858  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to play fast on trading ? on: October 04, 2018, 09:44:44 AM
What is mean play fast on trading? Did you mean to earn big profit in every single trade?  High return will be high risk, and to avoid greedy firstly you should be have trading plan, how percentace of montly profit that you want to earn. For situation of crypto market now, that the market not bull run yet, its better we take profit between 10% to 15% pertrade and its will be possible to earn 50% montly.
The thing with a lot of new traders is that they are usually looking for the fast means of doing things but in reality, things do not work this way. Playing fast on trading will always subject you to more risk as you are always bound most of the time to catch a falling knife and it is always a lot better when you allow the market to make its own movement and do some series of testing of support and resistance, coming up with a pattern and trading that pattern, otherwise, with playing fast, the possibility of emotions stepping in, would be something of a reality.
5859  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is investing on ICOs still profitable? on: October 03, 2018, 11:20:10 AM
I don't think that investing in ICOs is the right decision at the moment and it's not so profitable as before but the risks are higher. Personally, I'd rather wait for the recovery of Ethereum and the market reversal.
At the moment, it may not be the right decision for some, but it is still the right decision for some. Looking at the way the market has been lately, we can see pretty much that a lot of the newly listed coins have been beaten badly but that does not mean they still would not recover, and that just simply gives the investors chance to buy more to even up and gain more profit in the long run when the market recovers.

Smart investors are not always focused on the short term, they have long term goals and as long as that is still intact, they know the best decisions to always make at every point in time even when the non-smart ones are chickening out.
5860  Economy / Speculation / Re: When is bitcoin bouncing back on: October 03, 2018, 10:25:20 AM
+13 million US dollars in Tether yesterday on Bitfinex. It's not that huge but there are some people who are getting ready to buy. We need to overtake $6800 though.
Yeah we just waiting when it kick off people really excited to buy since they know what had happened last  year, because bitcoin is not controlled by individuals we expect anytime it a will trigger a price spikes this year. L
  No one could tell on when will bitcoin bounce again, we individually hoping for the fast progress of pumping up. Maybe we have to take advance by investing or buying while its value is declining. And I think this is a great move for all investor that may help us for a massive profits inreturn. Just hold your patience even more longer.
Bitcoin bouncing again is only based on demand kicking in and then traders getting to participate in the movement of the market based on how they perceive it. Bounce is not something that one can always expect but one thing is that you will always get to know when it comes.

Apparently, it is normal for every investor to always hope for the best both in the short term and long term, so as to be able to take advantage of the market movement, but at the same time, it is something we will always just have to blend with based on how the trend suffices, but when is something that can never be ascertained from the present.
