5921  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: About most likely an scam BTC mining on: May 22, 2019, 01:58:37 PM
I'm afraid you've been scammed and someone is trying to get even more from you.
Of course, this is the simple truth. The modus operandi of the scammers is even visible to the blind but I don't know why the OP fell for it. A company with a suspicious name is a sign. A company newly registered is a sign. A company promising you huge ROI is a sign. A company telling you it dies cloud mining is a sign. A company into Bitcoin doubling is a sign.

Could you please have a look www swift.com as well?

Because that site is gone.
Kindly disable link of scamming site next time to prevent others going there by mistakingly clicking the baits.
5922  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: bitcoin legal or not on: May 22, 2019, 11:44:55 AM
The legality or illegality of Bitcoin is very simple to decipher. To countries that find the use or mining of Bitcoin offensive and banned it, it's illegal but to countries which haven't made any incriminating statement banning Bitcoin it isn't illegal. Let's take my country for example, the government is playing dumb and acting like it doesn't know about the existence of Bitcoin after alerting the citizenry of the risk of investing in it in 2016 but didn't outlaw it. What that meant was that the citizens could invest and trade it but at their own risk. It isn't illegal with this. It's been three years since then and those in my country are reaping the dividends of Bitcoin.

All people, who were known to global mods (like hilarious) were unbanned very fast. And people who are useful for local communities but not in english - still banned for now. That's weird.
This is a weighty allegation and should be looked in so as to avoid stifling the budding local boards across the forum. Based on this, I support the OP's suggestion listed on 4 as quoted below...

4. Introduce a community voting to decide if banned users should be unbanned
The local community will at best know posters who are I dispensable to them and as such should make their votes count in unbanning them if certain other members who post in English are getting that unban privilege based on recognition.

I am yet to understand why someone will copy and paste another's sentence and thought without acknowledging it isn't originally theirs. What is difficult in doing that acknowledgment stuff if not ego and pride of admitting you aren't as smart as the writer.

I mean, I can understand spam/shit posts but plagiarism beats my imagination. It won't cost anyone anything acknowledging the source of one's post if it's copied by simply putting up a link to it. It encourages the original writer.

I guess all who are involved have now learnt their lessons.
5925  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC and Gold? on: May 22, 2019, 07:43:03 AM
Until then, there is no basis for comparison.

Bitcoin and Gold can be considered as a store of value. Both of them perceived to be valuable. Being traded on various exchanges, people hold it and hope they can get rich years later. They consider both of them as an investment. Bitcoin and Gold stock to flow ratio are relatively small. Their 'inflation' is decreasing, or stable for each time frame. To 'mine' them, you need a great resource.

That's some basis to compare them.
How do you console those who bought Bitcoin as a store of value in Dec 2017 during that ATH? The truth remains that Bitcoin is still evolving and may have the character of greatness. But until then, we can't really compare it with Gold. Can you be true to yourself with all sincerity that you can sell all your possessions and convert to Bitcoin as a store of value at this time? No?


In summary:

1. Gold is currently better as a store of value
I totally go with you on this.
5926  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC and Gold? on: May 22, 2019, 04:56:45 AM
Interesting article that talks about BTC vs Gold: https://cryptotradernews.com/cryptocurrency/is-bitcoin-the-new-gold/

Thoughts? Gold is tangible and can be used for other things other than storing value... It's also been around for a much longer time...
We can only begin to compare Gold with Bitcoin when the Bitcoin ETF is achieved and mass adoption will have happened. Until then, there is no basis for comparison. Gold is already steady and trusted and we all know the level of skepticism that is facing Bitcoin and how mist investors to even consider it a reliable store of value.
5927  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Important -Paxful fee increased , pls check before trading. on: May 21, 2019, 06:52:00 PM
These things are expected at a time like this wherever Bitcoin price rises. It isn't with only Paxful, I think it has to do with miners hiking their commissions. I use a greenbits wallet and currently I haven't been able to send out Bitcoin from my greenbits wallet since yesterday because of this exorbitant commission charged by the miners. I believe this transverses all other wallets too. Fees will revert whenever the backlogs are cleared up, I believe.
5928  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Exchange coin on: May 21, 2019, 05:53:20 PM
Quite understandably BNB coin should naturally  top the recommendations table of exchange coins one should buy because of its successful IEOs. However, an exchange like Tidex token https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tidex-token/ is highly promising. At the moment it's undervalued at the current price. I hodl a few hundreds which I bought at >$0.30. OP, you may what to invest in it.
5929  Other / Meta / Re: Any managers lost good posters due recent mass ban? on: May 21, 2019, 03:38:06 PM
I have lost good Hero and Legendary posters on my list because they copypasted something years ago and it seems they cannot join again for a year. Now im having a hard time picking up experienced posters.
I don't know why a Campaign Manager would hide under the cloak of anonymity to make a complaint/point by resulting to an alt account. It would be great if you posted with your main account as a CM so the forum can regard this issue as serious.

Possibly, you're scared of getting a wedge?


Cellard was a great member of this forum, I'm not certain if he was promoting any of the project. Another user bill gator is too banned till 2021, he was promoting Chipmixer. These are only signature ban.
The banned members can still offer their Avatar spaces for rent once their 60 days ban is over. I don't think the signature ban affects that as I can still see their avatars on.
5930  Other / Meta / Re: Shouldn't Theymos act on Bounty Managers Now on: May 21, 2019, 01:26:00 PM
I don't want to de-rank anyone. I agree that that would be unfair. I only want to remove signature privileges until you have earned 10 merit. That is not a difficult task for anyone who isn't a spammer.
Your suggestion, if implemented will also look chaotic like de-ranking. The forum will run amok and the Meta section will go up with petitions. We saw a little of that during the "1 merit" requirement for ranking up Jnr Members. Again, that someone doesn't get his posts merited doesn't mean the poster is a shitposter/spammer. It could (rightly so) that he isn't lucky getting them merited. I have seen great posts which aren't merited lot here.
5931  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what we can buy with bitcoin ?? on: May 21, 2019, 12:58:22 PM
Bitcoin is Money. Whatever money can buy, Bitcoin can also buy or be used as a payment for. The only snag to it is what shops accept Bitcoin and the country the buyer is from. In my country (I am from West Africa), there are not so many shops accepting Bitcoin for payment because it isn't that known here. Even among those who know it like to exchange it to fiat before spending it because it's easier that way. But we can do online shopping with Bitcoin and get the products bought imported to us. Though I am weary doing any online purchase outside the shores of my country to avoid getting scammed.
5932  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MORE TYPES OF BITCOIN SCAMS on: May 21, 2019, 12:31:02 PM
Tips for Respective Bitcoin HOLDERS :

Types of Bitcoin SCAMS :
The whole tips OP listed can only manifest if the victim is given to greed. Without greed on the part of the victim, fraudsters are as stupid as they come. How can you make someone rich when you aren't even rich yourself? Those who participate in HYIP don't even bother to find out from where the promises they are made of repaid interest will come from. They don't bother to find out these things before indulging the business.

Greed is everything - steer clear of it and your Bitcoin is safe.
5933  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The "Church"(call it whatever you want) of Bitcoin on: May 21, 2019, 09:16:56 AM
What if in our religion it was against the law to hold fiat and we were allowed to sell booze and weed and people had to accept the Church of Bitcoin Supply...
This sounds more like a cult than a church

So, what is going to be the tag for whoever becomes the leader for this demeaning group (obviously, not a Satoshi)?


For those who don't know, the church is not just a building where God is worshipped. Man is the church for the Bible tells us that our body is the temple of God. The temple is a place of worship. So, man is God's own place of worship. That's why we shouldn't be defiling our bodies.

5935  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How can I extract cash from exchanges without going through a bank? on: May 20, 2019, 09:57:21 PM
I bought crypto coins during the winter of 2018-2019 when prices were bottomed out.  So when the next big price surge tops out, I'll have some nice PROFITS.  I've got accounts on several exchanges, like Coinbase, Gemini, and others.  All seem to be reputable with the FDIC banks, and I'm confident I can withdraw my cash from exchanges to banks and then get cash from the banks.

BUT -- I don't think I want the banks knowing all my business, and I certainly don't want to pay too much in taxes.  Some ok, but not everything.

So what are my options for transferring numbers in my exchange account to cash in my hand, nice and anonymous and tax-free like?  I've heard of gift cards being charged up with exchange funds and withdrawn from ATMs.

Any details to share?
Once an ATM is involved, the bank is. Just know this.

From my perspective, an easy way to go about such withdrawal without using the exchange directly to your bank is to sell directly to a buyer with whom you are in the same group or someone you know personally and the buyer pays the money into your account or hands it over directly to you. However, there is a risk involved in this if you don't use an escrow. There is a section of this forum where you can get such a services. Just browse through the Market place.
5936  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: which is easier 1-2% a day or 20-30% per month on: May 20, 2019, 03:03:10 PM
We are looking at the "cup is half full or half empty" kind of scenario here. But I will go with the 20-30% monthly because that seem to take off pressure from the trader and allow them do their stuff patiently. Also, remember that focusing on the daily target may cause a trader to get into premature trades for the sake of meeting daily targets. Long term targets are better than short term in every business venture.
5937  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: One type of trading strategy on: May 20, 2019, 12:13:16 PM



Wave 2: At this point, quite a lot of traders consider the price to be too high then act to take advantage by selling it. As a result, the first profit taking and correction occurred.
Except there is some support before the low after Wave1, I don't see this situation being true. The price ought to crash more for the second Wave to begin. I mean, something has to sustain a crash and in Wave2, there isn't anything as such. The same thing happened with Wave4. Price ought to have retraced to where the RED line showing HIGH before continuing upward but it didn't happened. I am a TA person but I don't favour the Wave trading pattern because it's more like a guess work.
5938  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Question for more experience traders! on: May 20, 2019, 11:37:02 AM
No type of trading can be compared to crypto trading. Crypto is bizarre because most of the traded coins/tokens only exist as ideas and no physical products tied to them. This is unlike stocks where the companies do exist. Again, events that control the crypto market are not properly defined as it can quickly crash as it can also quickly soar. The industry is very unstable and volatile as it were right now.
5939  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are the wallets you have been used in the past and currently using? on: May 20, 2019, 09:48:38 AM
I started out in 2017 with a Bitcoin paper wallet. It was my first experience and I can't clearly remember how I stumbled on that. Perhaps used it twice or three time before moving on to the blockchain.info web wallet same year. I have held that wallet till date without any issues of hack. I also tried Electrum in 2017 for a few transactions until it had that phishing issue where several accounts were compromise. In 2018 I tried the Coinomi wallet which has proved to be as reliable as the blockchain wallet.

For ERC tokens, I use Imtoken which is more reliable than MEW with all its complications on keystones and Private Key. Imtoken is very easy to use and has so many ERC tokens.
5940  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: should hold or sold BNB ? on: May 20, 2019, 08:44:23 AM
You know, holding a Bnb tokens is very profitable. but if you just bought it now, you have to take a high risk. because it takes a long time to get a profit. the price is quite high and I think for the near future, prices will not rise again. but even so, in the end the BNB is still a good altcoin to hold.
BNB price will continue to rise just like Bitcoin is because both have the same value of being used for payment. Bitcoin is very vital to the entire cryptocurrency community and that's the same way BNB is vital to the Binance exchange. Investors will continue to patronize BNB to get some discount on any coin bought on the Binance platform and demand for BNB will continue to rise, price will also continue to rise.
