5961  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: is this gift right? Send 0.5 ETH = 1ETH on: January 02, 2020, 02:11:42 AM
can someone check this site? about the 2x fold prize of ETH.
if someone sends 0.5 ETH to their address & will get a bonus 2x = 1 ETH

https://mixineth.com/

2x bonus will be sent to the address that you entered or that you want from ETH.
Are gifts like this true?



Common sense will tell us that this is a Ponzi scheme, they will just get rewards to other people's Eth that will come in after you if they are going to pay you at all, this is a big no-no, it's more like a gambling where you are going to bet or send and hope and pray that they will give you what they promise and 0.5 is not a small amount to gamble, so better forget it.

There is no time frame involve when will Bitcoin price will surge, so if you are in a hurry to sell and sold your coin in a wrong time you will be sorry, you have extended your research for the past two years so why extend another year more, long term holding is not only about months, it's all about the right time and it could be years.
5963  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum: Sinking ship or Sleeping Giant? on: January 01, 2020, 09:14:26 AM
I’ve been into Bitcoin since 2014. It’s always been my main thing, however I’ll admit I got swept up in the 2017 cycle and got burned on quite a few projects. I eventually consolidated back to 100% bitcoin.

Now I find myself in a situation where I really believe in Ethereum as the only other viable project. I’ve been accumulating Ether to the point where now I’m 80% BTC, 10% Eth and, 10% USDC (prepared to buy more BTC when the time is right).

I’m preparing for Eth 2.0 staking. I see all the Defi projects built on Eth. The stablecoins, the ecosystem. If Eth fell, it would bring a huge chunk of the crypto market down with it. So for this reason, I can’t see ethereum really disappearing. It’s the only crypto that I’ve actually used (I bought something with USDC, an ERC-20 token).

That said, I am concerned about those stolen $100million in Eth. That can depress the value of Eth for years. I’m concerned about the constant hard forking, the constant delay of Eth 2.0, and the general amateurish feeling of the project. I hate that Vitalik, and the ethereum foundation dumped their bags on people at the ATH.

Part of me wants to just sell my Eth for BTC and not look back. Another part of me wants to keep buying Eth as it goes down.

Any intelligent insights on this forum? Not a pissing match, not a shitcoin shill session. Just honest feelings about Ethereum from other veterans in the space.

Actually 10% of Eth in your portfolio is still low, even some bad things are happening on Ethereum, we cannot take out the fact, that this is the first smart contract, transaction is fast and cheap and most of all so many tokens are relying on Ethereum smart contract, but of course, as a holder your analysis is the on thing that matters, whether to sell or to hodl.
5964  Economy / Economics / Re: Halving is approacing: HOLD YOUR BITCOINS AND NEVER SELL THEM on: January 01, 2020, 07:53:25 AM
The person who introduced me to the bitcoin usage instructed to hold as much possible. Myself kept trying to hold bitcoin, but it is truly hard to keep hold until we reach the aimed target. In between used to encounter some financial difficulties and I wasn't able to keep the holdings for a long time.

There are a lot of obstacles from holding our coins for too long, one of this is greed when seeing profit we are tempted to sell, and another one which is compelling of all is financial difficulties, I can stop myself from selling because of the profit, but I cannot from financial needs.
5965  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin might be over but blockchain will live on: January 01, 2020, 05:04:22 AM
Bitcoin keeps going down and forecasts of a rebound don't fulfill anymore
Cryptocurrencies should be moving beyond from being just value storage. Real functionality is needed.

Blockchain technology is well positioned to be the next level of money evolution
But governments are starting to implement it because they know it can save their ailing printed money

Rebound it's too early to tell we, should not give up on Bitcoin and the market this early if you want to give up, then give up on your own, blockchain technology is really here to stay but Bitcoin being it's the first product, it's success is also the success of blockchain, the technology that created it, so it goes if we want this technology to succeed, then we better go all out for Bitcoin.
5966  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could this be a bullish sign as halving approaches? on: January 01, 2020, 04:46:19 AM
Price fluctuations may be an indicator of investor sentiment. Hashrate, though, is often seen as the better market number to watch in order to truly evaluate Bitcoin adoption, and recent hashrate statistics indicate that adoption continues to grow.

By all accounts, Bitcoin has had quite a tumultuous year. After starting the year more than 80% down from its all-time high, BTC recovered significantly before once again losing several thousands of dollars in value.


Source link here

For me, I think this could be another "unsure" prediction or analysis.

Although the hashrate of Bitcoin has increased significantly, this isn't guaranteed that Bitcoin will be having a big bull run when halving draws near. Remember that there are still scammers out there like PlusToken, lurking from the shadows, waiting to strike when BTC moons, then they dump a lot of their assets to bring the market down again.

I can't be sure if the increased hashrate of Bitcoin would really become "bullish" because the market today is so unpredictable. What do you guys think?
It really is unpredictable, people investing and those who are promoting should only remember one thing, ignorant of how the market functions will get you in big trouble and also ignorant of not knowing how and where to invest will end you up with nothing, it's your money, it's your key and it's your fortune, so be sure to read a lot and get a hold of what's happening.
5967  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hong Kong Police Freeze $10M Fund for Protesters - Bitcoin Becomes Attractive on: January 01, 2020, 04:03:39 AM
The Hong Kong Police, working with China, has frozen a major fund that was intended for arrested and injured protestors. The case for financial freedom with Bitcoin has never been more clear.

Bitcoin’s popularity always seems to spike when people’s wallets are directly affected. Throughout 2019, we’ve seen multiple fears of bank runs and ATMs running out of cash during crises. In October, BeInCrypto reported that Chilean ATMs were reportedly locked during a state of emergency. That same month, Bitcoin trading volume ballooned as Hong Kong residents found themselves locked out of ATMs.


Source link here

Now that their funds were locked out, I think it's time for them to take Bitcoin seriously.

Storing them in banks is such a bad idea, especially if they are using it for protests. If they could have stored it in Bitcoin, the police and government cannot stop them as they do not own or control the blockchain technology.

Bitcoin took out the third party or intermediary in peer-to-peer transactions, and this is what Hongkong protesters should need if they want to keep their funds safe from being frozen.

This is Bitcoin's time now. We're not just focusing on the price itself, but how can it be used without the risk of having our funds frozen.

What is happening in Hongkong and especially with that scenario is a good example of government-run investment forcing its people to follow them in exchange of not touching their funds in the bank, because the government knows that if you touch their money it will have an impact on their lives, investors here will think of Cryptocurrency option now, and this is an example why people should not put all their wealth in banks.

Altcoin is not increasing for so many days. New money is not coming in market.So Always invest in good Top 30 Altcoins for being Safe.

Altcoins will not increase at all if they have nothing to offer to the community, some of these are altcoins do not have support from investors only those that are on the top 50, investors who invest in the top 100 up are brave investors and they are whales who wants to conquer new project, this is not recommended for new investors and with those limited amounts.
5969  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will YouTube launch it's own cryptocurrency. on: December 31, 2019, 11:00:54 AM
There is a question in my mind that alarming in my mind for few days. I am a new member here but in replies the senior and hero members that knows cryptocurrency news at very large amount. Will YouTube or Google launch it's own cryptocurrency?
I am hearing for few days that the Facebook launched libra coin. Is this news is real.
I want to more work at bitcointalk but i confused for it's hard amount of rules.
Anyone help me that what topic that I select for making topics and learn crypto knowledge by reading posts and I will be able to become a senior member.

There was and there is no speculation that they are going to launch one, but if they do have one they are one of the last pieces of the puzzle that we are waiting for to solve if adoption is going to come, imagine a highly industrial and powerful country plus two of the internet giant creating their own Cryptocurrency, everyone will now notice Cryptocurrency.

5970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dutch gambling authority fines 10 companies a total of €3.5m this year on: December 30, 2019, 02:46:44 PM
Is online gambling in Netherlands is prohibit? they should open it by 2020 instead of 2021 as they can see how much money is flowing to the gambling operators.

It is really one of the biggest tax contributor while others still doesn't see the point of its existence. The article didnt mentioned if some of them are crypto related casinos.
No, it's not prohibited. As I understand, there is just one official legal casino in Netherlands - Holland Casino. It's owned by state, what is really strange and not common thing, especially in EU.
So, it means that all others casinos worked illegaly in Netherlans and got fined for that.

Are they punishing it with fine because it is directly competing with the government-run casinos, here in our country all our casinos are government-run so they can get funds for their infrastructure if the government don't want to give them license because they want to monopolize running their own casinos, then these illegal will really have to wait some time to get a license, they might not even give them license to operate.
5971  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Justin Sun dump 33 billion TRX on New Year's Day? on: December 30, 2019, 09:31:00 AM
TRON (TRX) will be unlocking 33B TRX on Jan 1, 2020. What these tokens will be used for has yet to be determined.

TRON will be starting 2020 with a massive token unlocking which will increase its current circulating supply of 66B by 50%. 33B TRX will be unlocked on the first day of 2020. The TRON Foundation locked the funds months after it migrated from Ethereum to its own mainnet.


Source link here

Even if they say that they have no plans on what to do with 33 billion TRX, I would honestly don't believe that in an instant.

Anything can happen within or after January 1, 2020. If they say that there's no purpose, they should have remained it locked until they have a valid reason to use them for future developments.

There could be chances that some of the TRX will be dumped to fund for their development, or will be moved to another TRX or so. I don't know, but we'll see what happens after January 1st.

To all TRX fans and holders out there, what is your reaction about the recent decision of TRON to unlock the 33 billion TRX? Hmmm....



It will have a negative impact, they should only release a small percentage and they should be stated what are these for, I'm sure it will be dumped in the market, 66 billion is just too much for a coin that is just starting out, I haven't read about the roadmap and their condition of the unlocking, but it will have a negative impact.
5972  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the weirdest thing you have seen for sale for Bitcoin? on: December 30, 2019, 04:20:26 AM
The most bizarre thing selling with bitcoins are altcoins. I'm not pointing at all the subcoins. But some altcoins are really selling imagination. People are paying bitcoin or etherum to get these dreams. Unfortunately, there are too many scams.

I am one of those who bought these imagination altcoins because of their roadmap that has full of imagination only to end up waking up in a nightmare but going back to the weirdest things that you can buy with Bitcoin are information about popular celebrities and politicians they have prove on this so if you are an online gossiper or celebrity writer, you can find a lot here.
5973  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hackers Just Had A Field Day on Nuls. $480k Worth Token Stolen on: December 30, 2019, 03:52:47 AM
Blockchain platform Nuls has lost almost $480,000 worth of NULS tokens due to a hack, according to a security update tweeted on Dec. 22.

In its tweet, Nuls said it had detected that 2 million tokens had been transferred, of which 548,354 tokens — worth roughly $131, 600 — had entered the trading market and were now untraceable.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/hackers-grab-nearly-480k-from-blockchain-platform-nuls?utm_source=Telegram&utm_medium=social

Will there be a remedy for the incessant hacks in 2020?

This has been the biggest issue this 2019 and it will continue to happen this 2020, it's now up to investors to only trust exchange that can beef up their technology to the highest possible level, and those who can guaranty their trader's account and funds, and as long as there are hacking attempts Cryptocurrency will not progress and adoption will not move fast.
5974  Economy / Economics / Re: What if crypto vanishes? on: December 30, 2019, 03:15:45 AM
What will happen if crypto vanishes overnight or due to some or the other reason if crypto becomes inaccessible to public? I know this does not make sense as crypto will not vanish but still what if it happens? What about those huge chunk of investments made by whales and other investors?

The only thing that will not make it accessible is because of the internet connection, and if there is an interruption on the chain, but so far none of this is happening after ten years, but if in the future something like this happens, there are still new technology coming to replace Cryptocurrency but it will just work like Cryptocurrency Cryptocurrency will always become a part of our lives, just like the internet

Why do people still fall victims to obvious scams? Especially on twitter people are still sending bitcoin to traders, no one is a perfect trader, do not send bitcoin or other coins to people to trade for you, its stupid and foolish idea

Today a bitcoin trader on twitter exit scam and delete all traces off social media, i heard its about 53bitcoin, here is the link to the news

https://coinnewstelegraph.com/bitmex-bitcoin-fund-manager-exit-scams-before-christmas/

Pls stop, there is no such thing as easy money, its either you learn or you quit or else you will keep losing money

This kind of people fail to do one thing and that is to do due diligence, or never had an account here to ask if a particular program or scheme is legit, this is the reason why we have a reputation thread and scam category here, it's free to ask but people are in a hurry to send money than to ask questions here or do a research first, anyway they will learn later that it always pays to do a research first.
5976  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Gervonta Davis vs Yuriorkis Gamboa on: December 29, 2019, 10:26:44 PM
Sad story for Gamboa. He was way past his prime but tried to hold on to it, but Davis says nope. If you were to see the scoreboard, it was almost a complete win for Davis, plus the TKO in the last round which sealed the deal. Seemed like there was a problem with Gamboa's feet after round 2, which ultimately lead to his demise on the next 10 rounds, counted with the clean shots of Davis, Gamboa had no chance for a comeback.

I feel sorry for Gamboa, he is very defenseless in that round those uppercuts really connected, he has a very strong chin but with that kind of uppercut and how hard Davis connected I don't think his chin can withstand that barrage of punches, big questions now for the future of Gamboa like Chavez retirement is looming for both of them.
5977  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Google banned ETH wallet and metamask android client on Playstore on: December 29, 2019, 08:08:48 AM
Right now, I'm still quite confused on Google's stance on cryptocurrencies. Earlier this year, there are already rumors of Google Pay's support on cryptocurrencies. But now, things seems to start making a turn. The YouTube drama was said to be unintentional, but here we are again at another crypto-related censorship on one of their platforms.

I agree with your opinion, that's actually two in a row, they delete Crypto influencers Youtube Videos, now they take down metamask in Playstore, we can confirm that they are really against Cryptocurrency and they are showing it if we have a third one, could be advertisement about Crypto, they used to go against with.
5978  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is libra coin going to dominate the Bitcoin market? on: December 29, 2019, 07:14:22 AM
In case libra coin will get approval from US Securities,
Will it dominate the cryptocurrency market?
Currently Bitcoin has dominance of 68% in the market.
Will Libra coin reduce the dominance of Bitcoin market?


It's like saying we are doing great on being decentralized then we realized it's much ok to go centralized, I don't know how competitiveLibra coin when it launch, but all I know is, it's going to be a battle of centralization and decentralization, Ripple should be the one worrying if Libra coin is finally launch, not Bitcoin, it's dominance will still remain, whether there is Libra Coin or there is none.
5979  Economy / Speculation / Re: Anyone else think "long term" hodlers are idiots? on: December 29, 2019, 01:11:39 AM
I couldn't agree with that at all. Many people don't have enough patience to hold Bitcoin on long term and many think that is not profitable enough. But that is not true and long term investment has still the lowest risk and you can make very nice profit if you have developed your strategy and you are active investor.
Bitcoin price movements will speak for itself and the theory that long term investors are idiots.

But Bitcoin was and is intended to be a peer to peer and payment processor people should use it for what it is intended for, we can hodl but we need to use it also to buy stop services and ask merchants to also include it, imagine what will happen if all investors are just Hodlers I read in one post, that 60% of Bitcoin wallets are not moving their Bitcoin, I don't think this healthy.
5980  Economy / Speculation / Re: When is the perfect time to sell BTC? on: December 29, 2019, 12:38:21 AM
I am holding BTC from long time ago. And this time BTC going up can I sell now with this price? Or I can wait for more days?

You can sell it anytime, when you realized your profit, or when you want funds right away, but if you are looking for profit to sell your Bitcoin, I don't think this is the right and best time to sell, you can delay it if you have read all the news right now, experts are predicting  for a better price in the second quarter if you don't need funds, delay it for a few months.
