61  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Make [ICO]s available for U.S citizens. on: January 14, 2018, 05:50:49 AM
It depends on your marketing team. An ICO can be established anywhere and can target any specific market. Try to make an idea that the US citizen would be interested in that way you can make an ICO for a specific target.

For me I need to keep my base capital back again, then the excess will be stored as earnings and will not be included to the capital (will be added if there is a potential bullish move).

Wow it's $15,000? Last time I looked at the chart in januaryit was $1000. wtf happened? Why is it so high?

LOL. I don't know what is the intention of this post, is this to create awareness or just to spam? Honestly we know what is happening. Most of the users here already knows that and probably knows what is the reason behind it.
64  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Exchanges (and people) need to stop using BTC as base currency on: January 11, 2018, 06:29:20 AM
Let's just face the facts, shall we (even BTC fans/bagholders)

BTC transfers are nerve wreckingly slow.
BTC transfers are disgustingly expensive.
BTC is at the mercy of chinese gigamines.
BTC experiences sudden enormous swings that appear out of the blue.

And every time BTC does "its thang", the altcoins move with it, since BTC is the most widely used base currency at crypto exchanges. This causes unnecessary stress for people who own coins that actually work as a means of payment or have some other intrinsic value.

BTC is a big old lazy animal, its only virtues are being the first and, consecuently, having no 1 market cap now. But that is changing. Just look at the BTC dominance number on Coinmarketcap. Used to be over 60% not too long ago, now it's 34%. And when BTC loses its no 1 status, what follows then? Likely a collapse, that could bring the whole crypto market down. We need to untie well functioning coins from this dinosaur so it wouldn't bring the whole crypto market down when it decides to die.

I actually really like the way you posed this post. I may not agree with it, but it was clear and concise -- something this forum needs more of.

While it's true that BTC transfers are rough at the moment, the lightning network will likely solve most of these issues. Even if it does, and as you stated, bitcoin goes to the bottom, there are many coins ready to take its place. Ethereum has been in the green for the past few weeks while all the other coins have dropped. Essentially, I think we're going to start to see altcoins that IMPROVE on each other rather than just create more and more ICO's and ideas. At that rate, there will be a strong coin to take bitcoin's place.

Hello player514 I wonder when this lightning network will be implemented? I also agree with OP about this issues of bitcoin. But I don't totally agree that bitcoin will collapse. Right now, its not practical to use BTC for transactions although there are coins that can do it the coins in the market also has flaws no coins is perfect I guess.
65  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs. Bitcoin cash on: January 10, 2018, 05:36:46 AM
What is better to buy, 1 bitcoin or 4 bitcoin cash? Does bitcoin cash has the potential to reach the level of bitcoin?

I don't think so. In my opinion no coins could level the price of BTC right now. BCH is just any other altcoin it was created to lessen the traffic in BTC but now serves just like any other coins in the market.
66  Economy / Speculation / Re: Holding will be a risk or not?? on: January 09, 2018, 06:44:10 AM
Yes, all investments are definitely risky, the same as holding bitcoin, if your prediction is right to hold bitcoin will definitely benefit, if your prediction is wrong it will get a loss.

I do agree with you all investment indeed is risky. But I think holding is less riskier than trading, holding is very good for a long term investment. Although trading gives you high profit it is way riskier than holding.
67  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Will You Still Get Into Bitcoin Even if the Gov't Declared it Illegal? on: January 08, 2018, 07:44:13 AM
If it will still be profitable then I would still get into bitcoin. There are many ways how to bypass it, as long as I am earning from it I will not stop investing from bitcoin.

I slightly disagree.
With the government intervening with the processes and systems of bitcoin, rich/famous investors and even big marketing/trading companies who are responsible for the increase of its price would start losing interest, thus making it immaterial and irrelevant to the market which would decrease its price significantly. But this scenario is very unlikely to happen considering that the market is full of other alternate coins for investments. Not to mention, if bitcoins were to be illegal and you still chose to meddle with it, it is no different from transacting drugs/guns due to their nature being opposing to public morals.

An end to bitcoin means an end to all other coins in the market. People can't be stopped on what they, no matter how the governments actions, people always find a way. Since transactions on bitcoin is anonymous there a small possibility that big investors will pull out their money.

69  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: i think to store my salary in crypto wallets. it's good or bad decision? on: January 06, 2018, 11:49:30 AM
Yeah, it is a good idea. At least you will earn from the money you have stored. The money you have stored in your wallet will increase through time.
70  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hello! I'm stumped and impatient on: January 06, 2018, 11:41:36 AM
I don't think its a good idea right now to incorporate bitcoin as your payment options. Bitcoin has very high transaction fees and will surely not invite more customers. Try other coins in the market with lower fees.
71  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What to do with the people who don't like Bitcoin? on: January 05, 2018, 06:43:45 AM
Just ignore them I guess. Its not your problem if they don't like it. Bitcoin can still run without them investing on it. So Better not to mind them at all.
72  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin replace gold? on: January 04, 2018, 02:57:27 PM
There is no way that bitcoin will replace the value of gold or vice versa. Gold and Bitcoin is on different field, thus there is no way they can replace each other.
73  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Can We Make Sure Bitcoin Never Ends? on: December 30, 2017, 12:18:12 AM
As long as there are investors who is willing to put their money in bitcoin. Bitcoin will surely last. When the time comes when there is no more any investors, that is the time I guess bitcoin will be done.
74  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can ETH reach BTC value ? on: December 29, 2017, 11:56:13 PM
If ICO's shall start to get better compliance and further themselves in regulation I can see ETH becoming more popular outside of the 'crypto space' and venture into the mainstream investors in capital markets and also in the wider 'newbie' traders. I have personally been collecting ETH in anticipation of it being the new BTC.. Hopefully transaction fees will remain low and ETH will have more value than BTC for actual exchanging of currency too!

Fees won't remain low. As the price of the coins goes up so does the transactions fees will plummet. Just look how the transaction fees have risen in bitcoin compared to the years before.
75  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: December 29, 2017, 11:35:06 PM
I think in the presence of bitcoin will reduce unemployment, because searching for bitcoin also requires hard work and creativity, and competitiveness in bitcoin is also high almost similar to work in the real world

What is your opinion this time?
Yes bitcoin reduces unemployment. People that cant find a job tend to start bitcoin so tha their knowledge and talents will not be a waste. Bitcoin reduces unemployment at the same time help some people to earn extra income because thier salary is not enough.
For now, bitcoin may reduce unemployment in some sector of the population but just imagine what it is going to happen if bitcoin becomes as successful as many people in the forum want, all the people working in the banking industry are going to lose their money since we do not need them anymore, people in the governments, western union paypal and many other business are going to bankrupt due to bitcoin.

Don't think it that way, I am sure that banks and any other agencies will surely adopt the use of bitcoin. They will make way how they can cope up the growing technology.
76  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Can We Make Sure Bitcoin Never Ends? on: December 29, 2017, 01:44:39 PM
For me, in my opinion I don't care about that. As long as I am earning from it and having profits in joining bitcoins. I think what we can do is create more awareness for them to let them know that this is not a bubble nor a pyramiding scheme.
77  Economy / Economics / Re: Still Buying Bitcoin at $100K? on: December 29, 2017, 01:33:50 PM
impossible bitcoin reach at 100,000 usd I never buy bitcoin if that is the price because how much that fee would it be? I think bitcoin can only reach possible 50,000 usd.

Well in bitcoin everything is possible. There is a lot of possibilities that bitcoin offers. Who knows what will happen in the future.
78  Economy / Economics / Re: What will happen if the government know bitcoin in your country? on: December 29, 2017, 01:21:33 PM
Generally, government is all for a country.Because, government is elected by people. In my country, govt don't legalize Bitcoin.If govt knows about Bitcoin properly and also knows it's advantages,I think that govt will legalize Bitcoin in my country.

I am sure the reason why they ban bitcoin in your country is because of the reason that bitcoin is a decentralized currency and there is no way the government can regulate it.
79  Economy / Economics / Re: What will happen if the government know bitcoin in your country? on: December 29, 2017, 01:09:13 PM
I am sure the government will want to have control in bitcoin. They will make moves on how to regulate the use of the cryptocurrency. Governments always want to have control in everything.
Unfortunately, we still have not heard a clear confirmation of the benefits of this technology by the authorities. However, representatives of some large banks (including state-owned banks) have expressed interest in the krypto currencies. I understand that they still have very limited knowledge of the benefits of this tool.

I have heard rumors that the banks have already invested on bitcoin secretly. LOL Well I guess, they know how profitable bitcoin could be, I am sure they are making a way how to adapt to bitcoins.
80  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Can We Make Sure Bitcoin Never Ends? on: December 29, 2017, 12:35:22 PM
I'd we were to all stop using bitcoin in any form like trading it would die. Once prices hit the top and we are all generally using it daily for any purchases would show that it can be a successful currency. Bitcoin now has much competition from other altcoin.

I think the competition is no way near. Just look at the price gap in the market. Knowing bitcoin, I don't think it will be ever replaced by any other coins in the market.
