"The 95% use a purely technical approach to speculation and investing, relying on articles written by their favourite crypto guru for their analysis. Bitcoin has been leading the crypto market higher over the last month, and as prices move higher so will the expectations of Bitcoin's future.

Most find speculation and investing hard. It's because we are just not wired to be good at it. Almost everything we think we should do will hurt, and almost everything we believe will harm us won't."

https://www.altcoinsidekick.com/blog/frequency-range

hmmm do you believe that to be true??
I had to bold that to emphasize my point, otherwise I should've had it in quote alone. That statement is contrary. Technical Analyses rely on indicators, not on articles. When you refer to articles or news, you're referring to Fundamental Analyses.

When it comes to trading cryptocurrency, Technical Analyses are bullshit. What truly drives the crypto market is news. News can easily make a mess of whatever TA in place because the industry is fast paced and relies on hype.
5942  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: start trading again carefully and don't be too ambitious to get big profits ...! on: May 19, 2019, 02:15:46 PM
let us trade well without ambition to get big profits, the desire to get big profits in trading is very reasonable, of course, but for example we are very ambitious and not careful in trading your day, it will all cause us will be trapped, and in trading avoid panic for example there will be a decline, because you have to think that prices will be able to rise again, let's trade with our self-speculation which of course can be even better again.
What sustains any successful trader is cutting short losses and allowing profits to run. It's not that there are traders who don't record losses at all. This isn't possible because profit and loss are an integral part of trading. To surpass this hurdle of always losing a trade, one needs to constantly oil one's trading skills. As for being ambitious in getting bigger gains, there isn't anything wrong with that with the right mindset and skill.
5943  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you suggest participate in airdrop? why? on: May 19, 2019, 02:00:28 PM
Guys, I will tell you something essential in your life: There Ain't No Such Thing as a Free Lunch!

So when an airdrop seems free, it doesn't. It must have costs associated with it, i.e., your identity in the form of email address, ETH address, phone number, ID card, etc. These data aren't free! Furthermore, you risk your ID sold in the black market.
This is sadly the price we pay for globalization and its interactions. Frankly, it also entangles us with KYC validation for ICOs. It isn't just an airdrop problem alone. For me, I try not to partake in airdrops asking for more than the ETH address and email. Those are the only two I can afford to expose. Any additions, I am out.

Oh, we should Vod the merits because someone thinks them nasty?

Come on guys, everything we do in life is subjective. Peeps must always complain. It's the unending circle of man's life - not even God has been able to satisfy mankind.

5946  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Upcoming 60 minutes segment on the Pizza guy on: May 18, 2019, 09:51:12 PM
As if the BTC that was paid was even close to worth that much in the past.
I think Laszlo Hanyecz (The Pizza dude) is erroneously blackmailed by the Press for trying to make him feel bad perpetually. He executed the first recorded Bitcoin transaction and that kick started Bitcoin. Why isn't the Press focusing on that?

How much was Bitcoin worth back then that a lot of people now what to make it look like they knew Bitcoin would be a hit. I bet you, not even Satoshi knew Bitcoin would be this great. Otherwise he would be keeping more than the alleged 1million btc to himself.

No, it isn't true! I take after my father!
You took after his physical built and attributes or what? Your comment isn't that clear but remember that what I talked about here is, "intelligence". It's not even about character. It's about the grey matter in the skull - brain.
5948  Other / Meta / Re: [Appeal] 1-2years sig ban is too much for Good for the forum users on: May 18, 2019, 10:46:52 AM
I believe that it is worthwhile to offer participants an alternative punishment instead of a signature ban. To carry the signature to a certain point with reference to the rules of this forum. This will help most participants read the forum rules more often.
I am even ready to be a member of the group that will monitor the implementation of this decision.
That might actually not be such a bad idea! It would be like cooperating with the authorities for a slightly lighter sentence.
The banned members could wear a custom signature saying:


I was banned for plagiarising content. This servers as a warning to everyone to never copy and paste without providing a reference to the original source. Please read the rules and don't copy and paste!
Yeah, this won't be a bad idea. It will the biblical writing of the covenant on the hearts of all through a constant reminder. It surely will go a long way to deter many prospective plagiarists.
5949  Other / Meta / Re: [Appeal] 1-2years sig ban is too much for Good for the forum users on: May 18, 2019, 09:25:59 AM
I want to evaluate this whole plagiarism stuff as a mental disorder like robbery - reaping where one didn't sow. Plagiarists are intellectual thieves.

I like this maxim, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime."
 
The affected accounts should peacefully serve out their ban.
5950  Other / Meta / Re: Shouldn't Theymos act on Bounty Managers Now on: May 18, 2019, 07:14:26 AM
My only suggestion is that, stop the signature program of the bounties if its not paying through BTC let them ask for the bounty hunter to just advertise outside this forum or on social medias ...
This was what the Campaign Manager, Yahoo, did with the MB8coin project he managed which I also participated in advertising on my Facebook profile. We had to share, retwit and post on social media outside this forum as he refused to include signature bounty. I can say that took the spam outside here.
5951  Other / Meta / Shouldn't Theymos act on Bounty Managers Now on: May 17, 2019, 05:54:13 PM
Now that stringent measures are being put in place to eradicate plagiarism and spamming through ban and all that, will it not also be time for Theymos or the admins to put in place measures to checkmate Bounty Managers on the way they run their bounties? I mean shouldn't these mangers become strict (or be forced to) on crosschecking the post habits of their participants? The altcoin bounty threads are now messy. What can be done to make it better? Your suggestions can help Theymos make a valuable change.
5952  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Fake My Ether Wallet - myetherwallet.com-eth.network on: May 17, 2019, 04:48:06 PM
As long as people knows the real url and knows how to check the address bar , no one is gonna fall for that. Anyway thanks for the report tho.
The problem is that most people don't know how to truly check these things. Every single character (alphabet) on the Internet is important and leads to a different site from the one probably being searched. For instance, there is a dot com (.com) to bitcointalk on the net instead of the authentic dot org (.org)

Really, it's because of all these discrepancies with MEW and phishing instances that I abandoned it for more secured apps like the Imtoken and Trust wallets. I think people should begin to look in the way of these wallets.
5953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Exchange Hacked - Thief Caught? on: May 16, 2019, 01:19:02 PM
Can those hackers who steal coins from online wallets be identified and arrested? Any news before that anybody were arrested?

The most accurate answer is "NO" but there are exceptions and I think as Blockchain analysis tools improve, exploits in tumbler code might be found to expose many criminals. I use these services to secure my financial privacy, not to hide any crime, so I sleep like a baby every night.  Wink

A lot of criminals make mistakes and they live high above their reported income, so when they are audited by the authorities, the wheels come off and they get caught. <How can a unemployed guy, drive a $300 000 car?>
To secure your financial privacy, how? Tax invasion?

Or simply they just use a tumbler then the problem is solved for them, not unless this tumbler website reveals such details to the authority, eg. IP address, etc. which unlikely to happen.
This has always been the argument against mixing sites by those who canvass Bitcoin as an avenue for fund laundering. One would believe they seem to have a point here.
5954  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Defending your profits without timing the market on: May 16, 2019, 10:40:50 AM

My personal strategy is to bank 30% of the profits from each trade into cold storage BTC, locked away for decades to come. When it comes to USD/BTC movements, I prefer to margin trade to accumulate BTC rather than cash out for dollars.
I just had to put that in bold for it caught my attention. The way we say these things as if we own a breath of life. Bitcoin is barely a decade and we don't know if Satoshi is still even alive after his creation became a phenomenon. Yet you talk of securing something for decades to come.

Life First in Everything We Do...
5955  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ten Minute XRP News Recap on: May 16, 2019, 09:02:19 AM
I wish the OP had invested his valuable time on getting news recap for viable coins, not Ripple. Ripple is given more attention than it truly deserves. It's a disappointing coin, just like dogecoin. Since their creation, they haven't performed in anyway. XRP ATH in 2018 was a mistake. Such a feat is not likely to be seen again till it finally dumps hard.
5956  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Arguments against XRP, the biggest shitcoin. on: May 16, 2019, 08:04:21 AM
The positive news about bitcoin will bring lots of newbies to crypto and they will look for interesting coins for investments. Let's give some useful advice that they don't make wrong decisions and we show them the best coins of crypto.

Please everyone, if you have more warnings to add, please comment!  Smiley
If we warn the Noobs, how is FOMO going to be possible to drag up the shitcoins? Shocked

On a serious note, I don't know why investors and hodlers still look the way of XRP as a viable coin. A coin that only rose above $3+ as ATH since its creation in 2013? That coin should've long been death if not for all the positive reviews on it (though these reviews haven't translated to positive price movement.) Ripple is one of the coins with huge volume I don't ever wish to hodl.
5957  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH is making some noise in the crypto market on: May 15, 2019, 05:12:40 PM
Even though until now Bitcoin has remained in top popularity, many financial experts have seen the potential of Ethereum which can exceed Bitcoin. This potential has been examined both in the valuation value and ETH coins, as well as in the development of the Blockchain Ethereum.
This isn't going to EVER happen. I say this with certainty. In the past, I once harboured this thought as yours and compared ETH with Bitcoin. But that was an error of thought on my part. ETH is no match for Bitcoin.  People should begin to look beyond ETH to other alternate coins with immense potential like Litecoin. ETH is already over hyped. It's a good coin no doubt but it's overrated.

Hi Hhampuz,

With the new wave of parm-ban going on the forum perhaps there might be an open slut, yes?
If available, I want in please. thanks Smiley

You should do things in the right order. First get some Bitcoins, then find open sluts... it'll be easier.
I bet, some sluts don't even know about Bitcoin  Grin
5959  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia to replace USD reserves with Bitcoin on: May 15, 2019, 12:46:50 PM
I seriously doubt this, not that I won't be happy anyway if that news were true. Of course, I will because that's a boost to Bitcoin. But I doubt if Russia will go the way of something as unstable and risky as cryptocurrency as an alternative to dollar. It isn't only Russia having a hard one with the US, China is also currently enmeshed in a trade war with the US. It's really a hard nut to crack. However, let's continue to enjoy the momentary rise of Bitcoin price no matter where the new pump is coming from.
