5941  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Has the market recovered? on: July 19, 2018, 01:27:47 PM
Some people would say there is no recovery or what are we recovering from?

We are dealing with a decentralised technology so the markets are wide open to high spikes
and low drops therefore we are always "recovering" from the previous market movement.

5942  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [ICO] DIMCOIN The Future Of Equity on the Blockchain on: July 19, 2018, 06:37:42 AM

Great news indeed. Listing on a proper recognised high profile exchange is always positive.
I have also recognised from the start that dimcoin was a long term project, good to see
developments happening.
5943  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Bitcoin making the world go crazy? on: July 18, 2018, 08:26:51 PM
Now this craziness is due to the fact that all people want to get rich quickly, I'm sure of it for sure. They all saw the pre-Christmas miracle leap of bitcoin and now every day pray for his repetition.

I agree, some people have experienced what bitcoin can deliver in december/january
and others have just looked on in astonishment at the rise and the fall.

There are others waiting on the side lines to jump in and hope they experience the next big movement.
There are those who love to hate bitcoin also.

So yes bitcoin is driving the world crazy.
5944  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you remember not so long ago... on: July 18, 2018, 03:19:58 PM
And what will follow next is the question "is it too late to buy?"
FUD follows FOMO follows FUD

It can be difficult for new people to make a decision but if the
question is asked and experienced members reply with pretty
much the same advice it has to be followed.
5945  Economy / Speculation / Do you remember not so long ago... on: July 18, 2018, 12:29:35 PM
When there were lots and lots of question asking "is this the time to buy..."
i sincerely hope those asking the questions took the right advice and are
enjoying the markets now?

Dont get me wrong im not saying that the markets will continue to rise
without some form of corrections but if you are interested in making
some gains from earlier investment this is your time.

So did everyone take the advice when the markets had fallen and the
forum was full of negativity?
5946  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did you know that 25% of all Bitcoins are lost? on: July 18, 2018, 08:00:09 AM
I would speculate that back in 2008/2009 in bitcoins infancy there wasnt the same value
put on possessing bitcoin, we have heard before the story of people throwing out computers
with hundreds of bitcoins in wallets still on the harddrive - never to be retrieved.

Also I would speculate that a portion of that 25% can eventually be retrieved as they could
be considered "in long term storage" and so not showing any movenent whatsoever.
5947  Economy / Speculation / Re: UPDATED BITCOIN PRICE NOW as of today 07-18-2018 GRADUALLY HIGHER on: July 18, 2018, 06:42:32 AM
And it will continue on its climb with some corrections along the way.
There is definitely more confidence in the market again and all in a very
short time frame.

Its also great to see less negative posts on the forum. The negativity
was like a cancer and was almost like something contagious.
5948  Economy / Speculation / Re: Market is Now GREEN, any underlying factor? on: July 17, 2018, 08:27:37 PM
I think the recent negativity in the markets has been replaced by the ETF event to happen next month.
I also believe that any negative news until then will not have much effects and good news real or fake
will have a good effect.

I would even go so far as to say that even if ETF is rejected there will be an overall positive residue in
the markets which will continue to the year end
5949  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New to all this but and have bought up altcoins. Long term investment advice on: July 17, 2018, 07:57:43 PM
Welcome to the forum.

I think you made a good start especially since you included some of the originals
like bitcoin, litecoin and ethereum and some solid projects with quite a following.

There are some who would say that long term holding is not necessarily the best
choice, rather better to trade on the movements of the markets. I like the long
term outlook so maybe a mixture of both?

Be careful at first if you want to trade the markets.
5950  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I am sure Bitcoin Will go $50,000 End of this year because of ETF! on: July 17, 2018, 06:37:25 AM
Recorded last year there were too many hopefuls about the push and approval of ETF but it was rejected.

I don't want to get hurt if this didn't get approved again this year. News of adoptions are better than this like the sudden jump that drove bitcoin pushed to a sudden increase today.


Correct, there was a lot of talk, hype and speculation about last years ETF approval application
and when it was rejected bitcoin still grew eventhough at the time some peoples hopes and
dreams were crushed.

The bitcoin will push up as we get closer to decision date but it could drop after either decision!

"Buy the Rumor and Sell the News"
5951  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Are you ready for bull market? on: July 16, 2018, 07:58:12 PM
We saw last year that the second half of the year was the business end, personally i would
like to see a more healthy type of growth rather than a bull run where more people could get burned.
A more sustainable type of growth like using an analogy of a giant train stopping at lots of stations to
pick up passengers but nobody getting off!
5952  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you know the Estimated Price of Bitcoin in 2019? You will be surprised. on: July 16, 2018, 07:36:55 PM
Yes Im surprised how peoeple still believe in forecasts like this.
Some people forecast things in order to get some fame or create a useless wave of discussions among the public. Well if we stay realistic, we are not going to get affected by these untrue predictions. We still need bitcoin to get legal in countless countries and still there is small portion of the world population who are aware of the miracles that can take place after investing into and supporting bitcoin.
Well i would much prefer a useless wave of positive discussion than the same in a negative way.
Of course its a prediction and the idea behind it could have an influence on bitcoins value in 2019.
As the mining difficulty raises so too will the effeciency of mining rigs i believe.
Regardless of all the predictions good or bad i believe 2019 will be better than '18
5953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the collateral behind Bitcoin? on: July 16, 2018, 01:16:08 PM
As mentioned, bitcoin is a decentralised technology, no one person or group control it.

We need to consider and remind ourselves of this and that it is not like FIAT currencies,
the only backing it has is from its miners and users and as long as we all believe in its
technology it will continue.

5956  Economy / Speculation / Re: Where do you see Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies in ten years? on: June 27, 2018, 10:03:23 PM
I figure it to be valued much much higher in 10 years because of some very positive
and factual points like there will be 2 halvings in in the next 10 years and there will
be further adoption. The longer Bitcoin and legitimate crypto survive the harder it
will be to damage it with FUD and fake news which should result in fewer people
selling out.
5957  Economy / Economics / Re: ROI biggest opportunity - BTC / ALT? on: June 27, 2018, 09:25:17 PM
We also should consider that a lot of advice has been given to always hold on average
50% bitcoin and 50% alts, others have advised a 60/40 bitcoin/alt split, why is that?

Bitcoin is the one with most potential and most alts outside the old reliables like Dash,
Monero, Ethereum and Litecoin can be risky.
5958  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there a disadvantage in the publicity of cryptocurrency? on: June 27, 2018, 08:51:32 PM
Overall publicity is good for bitcoin and crypto.

Ok there will be those who never invest because of negative publicity but overall there will be more adoption.

I was here on this forum all through 2017 and with all the negative publicity and fake news stories about
bitcoin and crypto we are still here and bitcoin has not been killed.

ANY PUBLICITY IS GOOD PUBLICITY

because it piques more peoples interest and curiosity, where they otherwise may not have known about it.

5959  Economy / Economics / Re: Some facts about the global debt... on: June 27, 2018, 08:11:02 AM
I hope that people recognize how wars, defense contracts, anti terrorism, healthcare reform and similar agendas are pushed to justify the deficit growing larger. The only way that we have a chance of saving our future is if people recognize those programs are negative and refuse to support them. Any big spending, trillion dollar, program pushed by the state is typically a terrible idea via default.

People will never learn. They are bainwashed to the core of their existence. If we look at how this problem has only become worse throughout the last decades, it's pretty certain to say that we in the forthcoming years will go through something way worse than this. Economically, we can only sink deeper; there is no way this is ever going to get solved, or even remotely reduced. The only escape is to hedge your way out.

I am however glad that the majority of my wealth is locked in Bitcoin and that my 'support' for a system I heavily dislike has been reduced to the extreme minimum in the last years.

Let Bitcoin fall harder, maybe that will boost me to convert 95% of my fiat wealth to Bitcoin.

On one hand I wouldnt blame the individual, its banks and governments who want to lend funds to
people who dont have much economic wealth. People are under pressure to provide for their families 
either with a home and or education for their children and neither are free and this means people
have to borrow funds.

Then on the other hand some people overstretch themselves to borrow funds to buy luxuries they
cannot afford.

In the end its the average Joe who will pay for all this debt and most likely the ones on the bottom
rungs of the ladder.
5960  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The anonymous structure of the blockchain technology encourages crime? on: June 27, 2018, 05:34:06 AM
The anonymous structure of the blockchain technology is a breeding ground for criminal activities life money laundering, drug trafficking?

I wouldnt agree with the statement.
You make it sound like before blockchain there was no criminality.
Criminals have always existed and blockchains have given them another tool
to use in their trade just like cash and credit cards.

This is something that the media in general has been pushing and creating
FUD. Focusing on the criminality behind bitcoin and crypto.
