61  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reasons why Bitcoin is droping: on: May 11, 2018, 04:09:46 PM
Also because of the many altcoins trying to enter the market to beat Bitcoin. Just saying. Tongue
That doesn't make sense. Vast majority of altcoins dropped even harder than Bitcoin.

It's absurd what the administrator of MT Gox is doing. He's selling the bitcoins. He must be earning some bribe from some exchange to do the negotiation. There's no sense in him wanting to sell the bitcoins. He should return the bitcoins (or part of them) to the customers who were harmed.
Should. Haha that's funny. If he wanted to return, he would have already done it. He's a robber and scammer, not a nice guy and righteous person. Of course he intends to sell stolen bitcoins sooner or later.

Well requiring 0.01 ETH is not an airdrop

They do not run ICO, 0.01 ETH just the fee to build comminity. Check etherscan here:
https://etherscan.io/address/0xcef079e04caa9416367c29f9f7064e3557688c88
Fee to build community? That's BS. If you're serious you should have enough money for website hosting, transaction fees and so on before you start a project. Or you should say you're collecting donations.
Paying $7 is simply not airdrop by definition.

This is a very risky step.  It seems to me better to invest in eth, btc or neo for a long term.  It's less risky.
I think OP didn't invest in TRX for the long term. He said that he will make nice profit even if Tron increases just for a few cents so he probably sold it already.
65  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why choose LONG-TERM TRADING? on: May 09, 2018, 12:17:24 PM
Long term trading may be picked by those who has no extra time to watch the price fluctuations regularly. They are people who do believe in a project or at other coins that already has good development and willing to invest and leave they investment for a longer time. Less stess with this kind of investment.
Exactly. If I believe in a project, I will keep hodling for longer time even if the price goes up.
Also people have different periods in their life, when you're on vacation, you probably don't have time to check price every hour so you sell your day traded altcoins before you go on vacation and hold coins you believe in.

Delisted on Cryptopia....any other options or is this another dead coin?
It's on Yobit, but price crashed to 12 satoshi. Sell your coins, it's going deeper and deeper now. https://yobit.net/en/trade/RBT/BTC
67  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Scrypt *** STOP TRUMP COIN *** Divide and Conquer on: May 07, 2018, 06:00:09 PM
market in cryptopia is paused for a long time. Any other exchanges we can trade stc?
Cryptopia sent email that many coins, including StopTrumpCoin, are getting delisted. STC also has broken blockchain so withdrawals are not possible.
68  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] LADAcoin ΛΑΔΑ (LDC) / PoW / Depends Money of Balance on: May 07, 2018, 05:53:37 PM
C'mon, the official block explorer (which I just discovered now works again) is not synced!
It is stuck at block 357824 (same as Cryptopia) while some nodes are at 358800.
Please fix the sync issue and maybe the delisting could be cancelled
It will be delisted anyway. Volume is simply too low and Cryptopia has more expanses than profit from trading fees.
69  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can the massive creation of Altcoins can be stopped? on: May 06, 2018, 08:09:08 PM
No, we cannot stop the creation of new Altcoins and we should not even bother about it. the such mechanisms take place automatically in investment sector. The new Altcoins which have a poor idea or a project behind it will automatically disappear when no investor will support it. So it depends on the investors that they should be careful and vigilant about investing in any new Altcoin. But yes there must be some regulation that atleast purely shitcoins which are visible to be shitcoins but are advertised as too great and reach soft cap by such advert must be stopped as they don't have any utility really.
How are you going to decide which "shitcoin" does not have any utility and prohibit advertising for it? I don't think this is the right approach. I think anyone can advertise his business even if it's stupid, as long as he reveals his identity and this way he is legally responsible. People are selling clairvoyant services (psychic reading) which is scientifically false and stupid, but some people believe in it and they are willing to pay for it. You can advertise such service as long as you have legal stuff sorted (registered company, terms and conditions...)
So I would say that any ICO or "shitcoin" can advertise, as long as they are not hiding their name so in case they scam investors, they can be trialled in court.

Yes, there are too many participants, if you went into a bounty campaign not from the very beginning, you probably will not manage to earn a lot of stakes.
I always calculate, how much am I going to earn compared to people who has been participating since the beginning. If the bounty fund is big enough and project collects enough money, then you might want to join bounty despite being late.
71  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Plans for 8th Annual Bitcoin Pizza Day? on: May 06, 2018, 03:00:43 PM
Funny that you mention that, I actually have a little tradition where I buy a pizza with Bitcoin on that day.
I've been able to order food online with Bitcoin for a couple of years now (takeaway.com).

I always thought that it would be fun if other people started doing that as well, also to give some support to local businesses that accept Bitcoin.
Thanks for sharing this website with us. Service is not available in my country, but it is in neighbouring country so I will definitely use this next time I travel.
By the way, you can find many Bitcoin Pizza Day events on Facebook, maybe there's even one in your country.
72  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How can I earn Bitcoins through smartphones? on: May 05, 2018, 05:07:33 PM
There is this app Electroneum https://electroneum.com/ with mobile mining of ETN coins - it's actually simulation of mining so your phone does not heat too much, but you still need data connection (internet). And then you can exchange ETN for BTC.
73  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-05-05] How to Value Bitcoin and Invest in the Crypto Economy on: May 05, 2018, 03:40:06 PM
I find this formula MV=PQ very interesting. If I understand it correctly, the important thing is Price to Volume ratio. Higher ratio means that Bitcoin is overpriced, lower ratio means that it is underpriced so it will likely go up again. According to Burniske, Bitcoin is currently at its norm, which means norm P/V ratio is about
Code:
ratio(norm) = P/V = 9/8 = 1.13*

Where  P is Bitcoin price in thousands USD and V is trade volume in last 24 hours in billions USD.

On December 17, 2017 (ATH) P/V ratio was 20/15=1.33 which is considerable higher than the norm 1.13 so Bitcoin was about to crash.
On February 6, 2018 (bottom price near 6k) P/V ratio was 6.3/9=0.70 which is lower than the norm 1.13 so Bitcoin started to go up.

*After looking the chart for some time and calculating P/V ratios at different points where Bitcoin started to go up or down, I think the norm ratio should be closer to 1.0.

This method is definitely not good for day trading, because 24h trade volume depends on many factors so one day the volume could go up but this doesn't necessarily mean that price of Bitcoin will go up as well. But I see the potential for mid to long-term trades.
74  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your attitude to this? on: May 05, 2018, 02:37:01 PM
I think this problem must be resolved quickly, everyone is fanatical with the coin they choose. this is basically a stupid and useless act.
BTC, ETH, Ripple, dash, monero, and all altcoin, they have an important role to maintain the existence of the crypto world.

may be they have different platforms, but have the same purpose.
Coins mentioned above don't have the same purpose. ETH was created because of smart contracts, Ripply for interbank transactions, Monero for privacy, Dash for payment systems and private transactions.
75  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: 💥⭕️[ANN] Fair Ninja - 1st Worldwide Classifieds Marketplace Using Blockchain⭕️ on: May 05, 2018, 01:52:37 PM
Nice to see solid project with core members from Croatia. I am not a fan of centralized marketplaces like Amazon or eBay which all have huge fees so I am a potential user.
But I want to ask, why do you claim in wallpaper that
Quote
Yoshi coin will offer buyers and
sellers the ability to retain their anonymity and privacy, ensuring
both their identity and their transaction history remain hidden
from public view or even other platform users.
How are you going to provide anonymity if Yoshi is a ERC20 token and tokens are traceable?
76  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC 20K coming soon, watch this chart and ease your mind :D on: May 05, 2018, 12:08:04 PM

you see that BTC grows by 1000$ in no time ?  it's not hard for BTC to make it to 20K by the time i expect it to, it only takes about another 400B in total market cap to bring btc to that level, 400B is nothing. the only obestecle ahead is the double top at the 11000-12000$ . once we break that i expect we would see a crazy rally just like last year end.

don't worry FOMO will get us there

You do not have to be so fascinated with that one time 1000$ jump which has happened recently- BTC is volatile and it can move in both direction.Problem with your speculation is that you say "soon", so I ask you how you define that-days,weeks,months?

By the way 400 billion $ is not "nothing" as you say,it is still a lot of money.There are still many obstacles on the way up,it will not be easy - you should take into consideration that many are burned on last correction.I'm not saying that this year we should not be expected new ATH,but it could be with a certain dose of caution from investors.
There will be more "small corrections" this year because people learned that it can fall any time so they will sell a portion every time Bitcoin will be rising for more weeks successively because they will be afraid of another crash like it happened in January and later.
So this year it will take more time to get back to $20,000.
77  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why so many Bitcoin users have fear of governments? on: May 03, 2018, 08:19:52 AM
Maybe because governments wants to be one who control bitcoins. Then after that they can implement a law that it will be taxed. And also im afraid because im only have a little income in bitcoin then if it will be taxed then i will not gain anymore income. All the income that i will receive will go on the tax that i will pay.
Governments by definition cannot control Bitcoin. Controlling currency means that you can manage circulating supply by releasing new bills into circulation or taking them out of it. They cannot do that with Bitcoin. However they can theoretically obtain more than 50% of all bitcoins and this way they could manipulate the price.
They can also tax it, yes, but this would only cause price crash, while functionality of bitcoin would not be harmed.
78  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: EtherDelta vs ForkDelta on: May 03, 2018, 07:44:01 AM
I remember a few weeks ago, EtherDelta had different buy and sell orders in the book and usually it was correct on ForkDelta, while ED was showing orders that were already filled.
But now it looks like both order books are the same so probably both decentralized exchanges are synced, they are using the same contract after all.

Does anyone know who is getting trading fees from ED and from FD?
79  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Cryptopia Cryptocurrency Platform Services and Development on: May 01, 2018, 04:29:26 PM
Those of you who are receiving emails from Cryptopia already know, but for everyone else, Cryptopia has announced new support centre available on this link https://support.cryptopia.co.nz/csm . They promise that users will get first response in less than 72 hours. Only time will tell if they will manage this but if they do, this is a huge advantage over other exchanges where waiting time can be weeks.
80  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-04-29]MIT Tech Review Discloses a Plan to Let Down Bitcoin on: April 29, 2018, 11:43:53 PM
Even if governments release their digital Fedcoins, I doubt people will want to exchange their bitcoins for those centralized coins. Governments can force people to start using Fedcoins if they replace fiat with them. So it is possible that Fedcoins will have more users than bitcoin. But people who understand the purpose and mission of bitcoin will not sell them. They will just keep hodling or they will start trading in buying goods in smaller closed societies.
