I see Binary Option as playing the casino. It's pure gambling in disguise. The volatility can't even be compared to cryptocurrency, let alone Forex Trading. I know of a guy who excels in it in our local forex trading group. But he's just a few exceptional case among the thousands of losers. Well, for me, I go with Forex Trading. I can gauge the market through TA and FA from time to time and the loss isn't unbearable once there are bad trades. With Fx, all I have to do is choose a few pairs with minimal lot size to trade.

6083  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto film brings Bitcoin to Hollywood on: April 24, 2019, 12:55:02 PM
Here's a review of the new film "Crypto" that stars Kurt Russell and Luke Hemsworth and is about Bitcoin. A big Hollywood film with big-name stars is a pretty big step in getting Bitcoin recognized globally and making it more legitimate in the eyes of the general public:
Oh dear! Here we go again!

Bitcoin truly doesn't need all that "Make believe" acting to achieve greatness. What the community seeks now is mass adoption, not film popularity. And until the likes ofKurt Russell and Luke Hemsworth? Donald Trump, Putin, Kim, Obama, and the rest of them are featured in Hollywood for Bitcoin, the filmmakers can go lickass elsewhere.
6084  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Craig Wright claims to be Satoshi? Here is what he should do ... on: April 24, 2019, 08:23:38 AM
Theymos already locked that account. Even if he hasn't, it shouldn't be completely impossible to break into. If that account suddenly posted "I am Craig Wright", I'm sure people would be screaming "HACKED!", as it's a far more plausible explanation for it.

A better way to be to sign messages from (a lot of) the earliest blocks and maybe consolidate the speculated 1 million or so untouched coins reportedly belonging to Satoshi from Bitcoin's early days. Ultimately, even if the real Satoshi did resurface, people will never stop finding ways to be skeptical.
My perspective is, "why will Satoshi want to resurface now" after several years of anonymity? CW or anyone else claiming to be Satoshi shouldn't be given any attention at all (even if they were the real Satoshi). The crypto world has gone passed the era of wanting to know the true identity of Satoshi. We have noticed Bitcoin is surviving without the control of a "known" Satoshi and it should remain that way.
6085  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The middle ground for all skeptics and enthusiasts on: April 24, 2019, 08:01:37 AM
I think fiat will eventually be replaced by a return to a fixed exchange rate system with commodities like gold and silver. After enough time, I could maybe see bitcoins being used along gold and silver in the same manner too.
Are you in anyway insinuating that the old kind of cowry exchange system will be replicated in this 21st century with gold and silver serving as fiat?


Sincerely, I don't harbour any thought of Bitcoin replacing fiat because that's not EVER going to be possible. The reason being that there are countries battling with electricity and Internet connectivity. Again, there going to be illiterate folks who don't know how to access the Internet even in countries where that facility is available.

More importantly, I am a Bitcoin enthusiast. My curiosity and excitement drove me to google and invariably here at BTT. But I know the crypto industry can't replace fiat.

6088  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Patience is the main key of success on trading platform. on: April 23, 2019, 06:25:46 PM
I believe everyone know about this sentence, "patience is the main key of success of trading platform". But I am realising that in practical. I have patience but not enough I think. Because you can see the trend of RVN, I was hold it and just sold almost in 20% profit. But I didn't wait even volume was increasing, I just missed my own logic. I had enough patience really. But who know RVN will touch 1400+ satoshi but I sold it 450 satoshi only. That's why I am realising patience is the main key if success on trading platform.
Patience is a virtue of life, not just of trading. Though it's an integral part of the crypto industry sometimes one might miss opportunities all in the guise of waiting/patience. I have missed opportunities of selling early certain coins I bought at ICO in 2017 only for the coins to dump and I have been bag-holding them since then. So, it's a two sides of a coin thing. It doesn't mean patience will get one profit. Sometimes, one loses for being patient too.
6089  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stocks Exchange, the great scam on: April 23, 2019, 05:40:26 PM
EDIT: Ok so i found a way to get my money but no answer to my ticket probably because they are too busy but an official announcement on the website about the current progress should be fine..

I think the exchange have a lot of network problem so i don't think it's a scam but we must see in the next days.

Honestly, I don't know why threads like this escapes the mods. The OP has resolved the issue with the stock exchange and left the thread unlocked. We expect the mod to do the needful and lock it up to avoid spamming.

Welcome on board, Yourhomeboy. Well, we go like know what part of Naija wey you dey to start with. Concerning Merit, I believe the koko be for you to make posts wey you believe someone go read and e go help the person resolve one situation or the other. Just be yourself (post anywhere you like) and with time the merit go dey drop. Meta and the Bitcoin technical support sections are good places in addition because na there the big boys here dey like gather.
6091  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin/Altcoin 2019!!! on: April 23, 2019, 09:26:55 AM
I would like to have some experts response on the topic...
There is no such thing as, "experts" when it comes to a speculative industry such as cryptocurrency. All you have people give out are based on either TA (technical analysis) or FA (fundamental analysis).


I think that this year the altcoins will show stronger growth than Bitcoin.
You must be kidding, right? Don't you know that altcoins move when Bitcoin moves. They dip whenever Bitcoin takes a plunge. Just know it now that Bitcoin is the Dictator-In-Chief in this crypto industry.

Da
I don't know maybe he is a user in this community. $5k though is within reach short term as compare to those so called experts claiming that bitcoin will go higher than 5 digits this year.
I side with "those so called experts claiming that bitcoin will go higher than 5 digits this year.", honestly. It's not because we are already $5,500+ now. Nope! It's simply because I believe that odd years always have favoured Bitcoin and cryptocurrency by extension. We all saw what happened in 2017. I believe such will replicate itself this 2019.

Trump security adviser unveils new U.S. sanctions to pressure Cuba, Venezuela
The Republicans are always known for their belligerent administrations. Check the America presidential history, the George Bushes were clear examples if we want to cite the more recent examples. So, I am not sure anyone will be surprised about all the sanctions coming from the US now. I expect more to come but all these will cost Donald Trump his second term ticket.


Do you think that the pressure on Maduro will be that effective? And what does it mean to Venezuelans who's into bitcoin already? Will this sanctions be another use case how bitcoin is really going to be used a medium of exchange?
Venezuela is just a drop of water in the ocean. Apart from her oil, I am sure the US wouldn't have even looked into its internal problems. The US may oust Nicolas Maduro out of office but will that restore normalcy to Venezuela? I don't think so. As for the Bitcoin population there, i also don't think their activities will make any difference to the entire crypto space. Pedro didn't.
6094  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: JP Morgan completely changes its stance on bitcoin on: April 22, 2019, 06:01:40 PM
JP Morgan wants to kick off Ripple now from market and provide blockchain solution for commercial banks. JP will win that game because it is JP but it will be his own private JP Morgan blockchain. Money will move faster between banks but it will be fiat money not any cryptcurrencies. Forgot that JP will be support crypto .Cryptocurrencies are hard to control
JP can buy in secret some bitcoin to make some money from upcoming halving but never will support crypto for long term
This is exactly my thought too on JP Morgan setting up its own crypto - to give XRP a good run. It's about time some crypto did that because I see Ripple as a big flop. How can a crypto have all that good news and reviews but still can't make it pass the $0.50 price range. It's unacceptable. However, investors should be very careful buying into the Morgan coin, bearing in mind the severe manipulations they're capable of.
6095  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sorry We are Closed on: April 22, 2019, 05:38:04 PM
Cryptocurrency exchange Coinnest, once South Korea’s third largest exchange, is closing down.
you can read more here : https://www.coindesk.com/south-korean-crypto-exchange-coinnest-announces-closure

but, at this moment i see a lot of crypto exchange project born in this industry
my questions is, does we still need more exchange in this industry ?
thank you
That won't be the last exchange to shut down, believe me. Many more will follow. But the irony of it is that while some are shutting down, new ones will he established. Novaexchange also closed down. Remember, at a point Poloniex was a leading exchange, together with Bittrex. In fact, Poloniex was my first exchange. Sadly, I haven't traded on that exchange for almost a year now. Again, I think the current number of exchanges now aren't too many. We still need more to be opened so that competition to the benefit of customers will increase.
6096  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will EOS fly to the moon like BNB soon?! on: April 22, 2019, 11:24:52 AM
I don't see any reason comparing EOS with BNB, honestly. The former is in over one billion in circulating supply while BNB is barely 190 million in total supply (this exceeds circulating supply. Yet it's little compared to EOS') Also, BNB has its own reputable exchange and recently has been running its IEO launchpad and insisting that the BNB coin be the medium for payment. All these have made the coin to rally up speedily. We can say conveniently that the odds favour BNB than IEOs.

Therefore, the total supply and use-case of any coin is very important in determining how fast a coin moons.
6097  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: India declines Bitcoin Legalization Again on: April 21, 2019, 09:01:08 PM
Seems like they really are against cryptocurrencies even after some groups in India have already lobbied for the legalization of the said financial tools/assets. This is the second time the draft and framework was reviewed, and also the second time they have rejected or showed negative signs of accepting the said proposal which sucks since there aren't anything really that could harm India's economy should they accept the legalization of crypto. Perhaps people of India need to show more interest regarding cryptocurrencies before RBI and the government of India see this venture as somewhat gainful for their end after all.
India is in the eye of the crypto community because of its large population just as we have with China. We believe the mass adoption could have a boost if these countries with very large population get crypto friendly. Otherwise I don't think we should even be looking that way. Erratic policies have not helped advance any course, even in business. Let's continue to hope that with time the government of India will do the needful.
6098  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fun stuff to do with bitcoin? on: April 21, 2019, 07:54:20 PM
I remember the first years of bitcoin's life. There were so many things to do and learn: mining, faucets, wallets, blockchain visualizations, etc.

Nowadays the bitcoin world is pretty boring: mining is for people with deep pockets, faucets don't exist anymore, wallets are getting centralized by big corporations (blockchain.com, coinbase, etc.).

Is there anything fun left to do with bitcoin, any specific application, website, app, anything that will make bitcoin fun and interesting again? Otherwise I just keep on holding and that's it.
Those things aren't even fun things except you're a tech kind of guy. For me, they're confusing when newly introduced. I remember how frustrating it was for me trying to get something as flimsy as a wallet address a few years ago. It was in this forum that I got it sorted out. Now that experience seems laughable. I think Bitcoin has sped past those teething stage and most newcomers don't even see it as an issue except to acquire and hodl now.
6099  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi Nakamato to be revealed " claims on: April 21, 2019, 03:21:46 PM
Well Mcafee claims to know the real Satoshi Nakamato and he thinks revelling his identity will be a book to the cryptocurrency society, he thinks all the jokes who roams around claiming to be nakamato is essentially a sheer waste of public indulgence in their antiques.
McAfee is an exemplary loudmouth. His claim of knowing who Satoshi is should be overlooked. He's just seeking another round of attention from those who think he's relevant.

However, I don't think anyone will believe even the real Satoshi Nakamoto now if he comes out to make his identity public. The crypto world is already passed that worry now. I should believe no one truly needs that Satoshi distraction at the moment and Craig Wright who is making that claim is getting heavy bashing from the community.

Since OP is virtually a newer member of this forum, they may not understand the Yobit issue. Except something drastically good happened to turn around the bad reputation Yobit has built for itself both here and out there, the stench will continue to trail its path. Believe me, it's not a pretty sight to behold. Where do we even begin from? Is it from its reputation as an exchange for shitcoins or what?

I bet it that many posters wearing the Yobit tag know all these but are only interested in the payment they get from shitposting and spamming the forum.
