5901  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Is Still bad? JPMorgan Chase Traders Accused Of Market Manipulation on: September 18, 2019, 04:42:55 AM
Oh well, what do you expect from people behind JP Morgan, they made a noise about Bitcoin is 2017 saying nasty things and then manipulating the price in their favor. Now, we see what this company are made of, greedy, manipulators, I'm sure they can pay the fine. But I do hope that their investors would shift their funds to Bitcoin.
Who can't remember that famous word from Jamie Dimon whom said that bitcoin is a fraud? Then things have turned suddenly and took his words because there were reports that him and his company silently collecting bitcoin.

They really are into manipulation.

They already have seen the potential of bitcoin and IIRC, they even gave a warning to their employees that reported to be trading bitcoin.
Right, for those who have been in the market in 2017, we have seen how Jamie Dimon calling bitcoin a "fraud", but someone exposes them as secretly buying bitcoin in huge amount and then dumping them when the price goes up in the next couple of weeks or months.

I'm not surprise by the findings by the Department of Justice though, very sketchy and shady people who still run the business and into everything including bitcoin and precious metals to manipulate the price and take millions if not billions of profits anytime of the day.
5902  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sad News: Kidnappers now requesting bitcoin as ransom in Nigeria on: September 18, 2019, 04:18:12 AM
I guess bitcoin is really global then, just imagine kidnappers demanding bitcoin as ransom payment in Nigeria? Or they could be kidnappings all over the world today that we don't know yet that uses this method in order to conceal their criminal acts.

https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2019/07/15/police-rescued-bitcoin-traders/

https://www.ccn.com/80-bitcoin-ransom-demanded-for-alleged-down-under-kidnapping-of-chinese-student/

I don't want to say it, but it looks like kidnappers are going to exploit bitcoin's supposedly (psuedo)anonymity.

Trezor getting hacked?

A lot of red flags here, and this is really a bad practice. I'm sorry but you need to find a new set of friends here. But this time don't share the private keys. That trezor is already compromised, if I'm in your shoes, you better get a new one if you wanted to store more coins in the future and sorry for you lost.
5904  Economy / Economics / Re: Can bitcoin help rebuild Venezuela? - Darb Finance on: September 17, 2019, 11:02:20 AM
according to the news that I read, a bitcoin-based ATM was installed in Venezuela on September 10 yesterday. this proves that Venezuela is one place that is suitable for the development of bitcoin. This will facilitate the use of bitcoin, bitcoin cash, and dash on Venezuela. for more information about this, you can read in https://cointelegraph.com/news/after-multiple-false-starts-venezuela-may-have-its-first-bitcoin-atm
To be honest with you, the information you read always appears a lot every day, apply crypto and bitcoin ATMs, launch bitcoin's ATMs somewhere but these stories really don't have a lot of convincing evidence, mostly appear for a short time and then people will forget it, these bitcoin ATMs are still operating until now or it has stopped working, it is a question without an answer. Therefore, do not rush to think that Venezuela is a suitable country to develop bitcoin, and bitcoin doesn't rebuild a country, it just builds assets for people who know how to use it
Venezuela countrie use bitcoin because it is in a difficult position after their currencies have hyper inflation, I think Venezuela should improve the government system first, so that there is no severe corruption. with a healthy government I think it will be easier to improve the country's economy
Removed Maduro in power and then we will take if bitcoin can help rebuilding their economy.

Today, we are seeing the bitcoin is really helping them survived. I read reports that it needed like $15 billion to rehab the country, so how can bitcoin support that? There need to be some economic stimulus at some point and help from other countries like US.

Bitcoin can still be used as a tool, but to say that it is the miracle that Venezuelans are prying to help them recover, I'm not sure about that.

Open and free market, and that will be the consequences.

That's why they have the nerved to show their faces in public and they don't care if they're going to scam us because we are very gullible and easily fall for their trick. That's why iCO are uncontrollable as this point and maybe projects even though very legit doesn't have the success they are hoping because the model is tainted already.

So if there is a KYC for bounty hunters, projects themselves should also do that so that we can file a case against them if they run with our money. Although majority didn't give a s**t, they are all after the money and will hide on some countries.
5906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury vs Otto Wallins on: September 17, 2019, 08:49:54 AM
This got me thinking as well, if it's on the other shoes, Otto got cut and bloodied, I think the referee are going to stop it and won't allow it to go to distance. But since it was Tyson Fury who got the injury early the referee or the doctor itself let the fight continue.

There are news specially coming from Frank Warren, that the Wilder fight me be delayed because they want the cut to be fully healed.

Anyway, this thread should be lock by the OP. The fight is over now.

The champion will almost always get the benefit of the doubt in a boxing match, that's just how it goes. The referee knows that Tyson Fury is an experienced boxer, and probably knows more than him about how his body is operating and what to do in that situation. Of course, when it comes to a less experienced fighter they might not have this knowhow, so they would be more inclined to stop the fight.

There was a similar cut in the recent fight with Badou Jack against Marcus Browne, though this cut was deeper and above both eyes, making it very hard for Jack to see. The referee called an early stop to the fight after a couple of rounds and it went to decision where Jack lost.

https://youtu.be/VebwIrJNz-Q
Correct, the champion always get the benefit of the doubt, specially with names like Tyson Fury.

I also remember Vitaly vs Lennox, Vitaly was cut badly, they should have stop the fight then. But Vitaly continue the ring doctor finally stop the fight because of the severity of the cut. However, that injury Vitaly had haunted him for the rest of his boxing career because that cut didn't fully heal and he was easily busted after that one.

Good call for Warren to heal first the wound, but I don't know how long it will take it though. Because they seems to announce the fight will Wilder next year Feb 2020.
5907  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency and blockchain adoption on: September 17, 2019, 08:29:14 AM
Although there is a lot of positive news specially about blockchain adoption, it doesn't mean that it will result to some big movement in the price. Companies are still experimenting about this technology and what it can bring to them. Those are private firms so I doubt that they are going to accept or even invest on crypto.

What we really need to see is some big retail companies started to accept bitcoin as means of payment. This could really boost the adoption and it could really set a precedence to even mid level merchants to try and offer crypto payment options because otherwise they will be left out.
5908  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Big news for BTC exposure and adoption! on: September 17, 2019, 07:51:19 AM
This news has dominated the market scene in the last week or so.

And yes, I agree that it would really create a lot of positive publicity and awareness to BTC. Although is is growing by the day, this kind of promotion will really take BTC on the next level.

There are other sports personalities as well that said they want their salary to be in crypto, those guys are forward thinkers, because they know that in the next coming years, the price could really go up and it's going to be a win-win for them.
5909  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICOs vs IEOs? on: September 17, 2019, 07:28:55 AM
Here is a good explanation from OKEx

https://medium.com/okex-blog/ieo-vs-ico-what-are-the-differences-f0a700bb9a5c

It's good though that we have this kind of business model, I mean a lot of investors are complaining about scam ICO in the crypto-verse and it's about time that at least we can minimised them by the introduction of IEO which is being run by trusted exchange.

However, it doesn't mean that scammers are not going to evolved and get themselves into IEO. There are some projects you might take advantage of this new trend and run a scam specially hiding behind from not so trusted exchanges. So we still need to be very careful and do due diligence.
5910  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you a fan of Celebrity tokens? on: September 17, 2019, 07:05:36 AM
No, because it doesn't really make any difference at all whether it is celebrity endorse or not.

Like this one: SEC Halts Mayweather-Endorsed ICO, Charges Founders With Fraud.

So it's really up to us to look at the project itself, not just because someone has endorse it specially celebrity personalities.
Exactly, it didn't put any weight whether that project would be successful as well. It's good marketing ploy, but you can't take away the fact that the people behind are willing to pay celebrity endorser more money because the returns could be 10 folds, like in the case of Floyd endorsing Centra that time.

Although Manny Pacquiao is popular, if I"m not mistaken this is not the first time he endorses such token and I"m not sure what happened. So just be careful, you still need to look at the people behind.
5911  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: i failed in day trading on: September 16, 2019, 12:17:30 PM
i have learn technical analysis and practicing it for many months now i am good at it , but when it comes to day trading stocks move as market moves if markets go up stocks go up and if market falls stocks fall where does technical analysis , how to do day trading

my question is about stocks not crypto
You are in a crypto environment and you are asking about stocks?

You already said that you have been practicing it for months, I guess that's not enough and you really need to educate and learn more from day trading but it's not at easy as it sounds.

So go and continue to day trade and at least learn from your past mistakes. If you have the chance to record everything then good, at least you have something to look at if something goes wrong. No one can teach you here how to day trade because every individual has is very different specially talking about risk.
5912  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Dont be surprised if ETH hits 4000$ on: September 16, 2019, 11:34:24 AM
I don't understand why people keep putting so much hope in ETH 2.0. It's not like: Oh, it's January 2020, ETH 2.0 is released, now the price will skyrocket. ETH (like all other cryptos) need to solve scalability issues while staying secure and decentralized. That will take time and is a steady process and will require a lot of patience from us. But with better scalability comes more users, a wider adoption and in the end a higher price per Ether.
I would agree with you that the there won't be a sudden surge on the price of ETH with 2.0.

It will take months or years before we can finally see the benefit of that upgrade. Similar to bitcoin, we all know that the halving is the catalyst, but if you look at the history of block halving, it takes years before bitcoin reaches new all time high.

So this might be the case for 2.0 here, the price won't grow in weeks or months. It will take years of accumulation and will finally culminated in a new all time high probably one or two years after.
5913  Economy / Speculation / Re: Day Trading for a Living? on: September 16, 2019, 11:11:24 AM
Yeah, that's the reality, so I don't know what happened to those people here specially during the boom of 2017 to just say that they are going to quit because they are going to focus on trading as a living. I mean how can you support your family and bring food in the table if the market is very volatile.

This should be an eye opener for those who wanted to earn big bucks in day trading. It's going to be difficult and it takes years to be successful at least because of the unpredictability of the market.
5914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will There Comes A Time That All Online Gambling Sites Are CryptoCurrency Based? on: September 16, 2019, 10:20:49 AM
Anonymity and popularity of Cryptocurrency are two of it's the best attraction.
And Cryptocurrency games are more transparent.
Will, there comes a time that all online gambling sites will be Cryptocurrency based?
Fiat based online games will still exist eventhough that crypto based online sites will boom in the next five years. And perhaps those fiat based games will not fold, on the contrary they might open their own crypto based games just to stay with the competition.

Just like we witnessed in the bank vs crypto today, banking system won't simply die because everyone is moving to crypto. And I still think that majority of fiat based players are not comfortable with crypto as well.
5915  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are you guys ok if BTC ends in the 10k USD range at the end of 2019? on: September 16, 2019, 09:50:56 AM
Of course, why would we complain? We have seen the lowest price at $3200 last December 2018 and ending up at the $10k range would be great right?

But the thing is, we could end up more than $10k or suffered another dramatic spiral to $3k, so we really don't know what's going to happen at the end of the year. Better yet, not to expect something great so that we won't be disappointment.
5916  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to know exact price i bought a coin at? on: September 16, 2019, 09:24:46 AM
I bought a certain coin on a certain date over a year ago.  Say i bought binance coin but tiny amount a long time ago.  If i know i bought it at say $9.25, but then i sold it pretty quickly but it was not meant to sell it for btc or usdt but used to pay the buying fees when buying an altcoin, is there a way to get up to minute on exactly how much binance coin cost on say january 1 2018 at say 2pm exactly etc?  Say i had btc sent from wallet to binance an hour earlier.  Then an hour later i went to buy altcoin with the btc but i first buy tiny about of BNB first as i would use that for fees when buying coin. 




You really need to check out your trading history.

No one can give you the exact every minute of the price since you are the one who made the trade.

So log in to that exchange and try to see if in your trading book if the history are still there. I don't know if exchanges removes trading history as far as one year, but you can give it a try.
5917  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Last 3 Months of 2019! What is your prediction about the Market? on: September 16, 2019, 08:50:55 AM
It depends on the approval of ETFs which is gonna next month and in current month Bakkt will also become operational which is really huge for this market. Even it is really hard to predict what will happen in the last Quarter of year but we can keep hope for something good.

Sept 26 is the big day for Bakkt, so let's see how it goes.

As far as ETF"s, it could be delayed again or no approval after all so I don't see it as something that we can depend if we are going to expect a bull run.

The only event that can really push and be the catalyst is next's year halving. But it's not something that can affect the price overnight. We have to wait for months and see the real impact on the market.
5918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Have An Exit Plan In Playing Gamble? on: September 15, 2019, 02:03:39 PM
According to your level on how hooked and how addicted you are, it's almost impossible to leave gambling because you will be leaving the excitement and all the feeling associated to gambling, not to mention the prize that you are going to win, if you already set up a winning method.
Exit plan?

I don't have any, but in cases that I already won and won big, I easily exited and quit and I don't want to stretch my luck for that day. So my only exit plan is to have control, and not push yourself and of course, don't be greedy.

But honestly do you have an exit plan or the right time for you, that you are you going to leave gambling, not a week or a month but permanently, or you are going to stay and die gambling?
Really hard to say, and even if I'm in a losing streak, I would just stay out for a couple of day, just sort of cooling off period. Of course I wanted to quit at some point, but it is going to be difficult. I have periods wherein I quit gambling for years when I don't have a stable income. But when things are going right on my end, I will continue to play to have some fun.
5919  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will TRX ever reach ATH on: September 15, 2019, 11:41:04 AM
TRON had a ATH of $0.25 which currently trading at $0.015, it's huge below than the ATH. Can we expect TRX to reach new ATH anytime soon? I'm holding a bag of TRON which is a significant loss for me. Please share you constructive opinion why do you think TRX will reach ATH soon, or why not.
I'm looking at TRX and it seems it's still down 90% from it's previous all time high.

30 days, - 9.5%, 60 days, -25%, and one year -19%. So I know what you are feeling right now based on that stats alone. However, it's possible that it can reach another all time high but the question is when, it could take another year again just to be able to at least manager a +50%.

So it's hard to give you advise mate, whether to sell today and cut the loss or continue to HODL and have patience.
5920  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Last 3 Months of 2019! What is your prediction about the Market? on: September 15, 2019, 08:30:49 AM
Let's say I will be positive on the last three months.

I know that there is no such thing as event's repeated itself here, but last year eventhough we are in the bearish market entering December, the price took a spread in the last two weeks of that month and at least push the price higher as expected.

But don't expect something similar to happen, so it's still a 50/50 call unless we hear some positive news in October about bitcoin ETF approval to propel the market in a mini bull run again at the end of the year.
