The crypto market is too small to create a problem to the social security. Without cryptos, it's already in trouble in most (if not all) the countries by the way. Labour started to get devaluated long ago, when Europe has been created and the borders removed, with the Schengen Area too. Don't worry, you will still receive your retirement pension like everyone else
6122  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: At what point can we say a coin has mooned? on: August 05, 2018, 04:15:57 PM
Hey, keep in mind that it's basically a joke to get fun. You won't see a traditional trader saying to colleagues while in the office "Microsoft mooned last night" Some individuals like to say their coin mooned when it increased by 10% from yesterday. Some will says it if the coin makes x10, and others x100, etc.
6123  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Mainstream adoption [NEW] on: August 05, 2018, 03:44:19 PM
There is nothing to be gained since Bitcoin (cryptos generally speaking) is considered an investment by the community, so there is no race or battle against the traditional currencies. This could have been the case at the beginning of Bitcoin but no more now. People are not really interested in seeing the cryptocurrency adopted massively, they are just interested in their investment. No problem if it stays on the web and their account on their exchange platform. Cryptocurrency and currency are both different products

6124  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin become the reserve currency of the world? on: August 05, 2018, 11:44:01 AM
It's gonna stay marginal (at some level). At worst it could be used as virtual money for a video game (I don't remember the name: second life ?) At best it will remain a virtual currency used by geeks or by those looking to hide their funds (taxes evasion or other reasons) or on the darknet. that said, (besides that bitcoin needs to have a minimum value of $213,000 to hit to replace the US money supply)
6125  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [LIST] Free EU bank accounts that you can be opened directly online on: August 05, 2018, 09:30:08 AM
I suppose that the registration is reserved for German citizens because the site is in German only. If this were the case, the site would be available in several languages. I know that for the English subsidiary (fidorbank.uk) they only accept the citizens from the United Kingdom, so another reason to think that they only accept Germans.

If that is the case, and it appears from their forums that it might be too, then what options work or are available?

Bittrex has recently also come on board with fiat withdrawals but I can't find what their minimum is? Bitfinex is $10,000.....Usually the number required or already above it for the transaction to get flagged and more paperwork/answers needed by your bank...

Since I don't know what you are looking I can't say what options work or not. Are you sure Bitfinex is $10,000? Because using a "," in English mean ten thousand.
I am using Kraken to withdraw fiat to bank it works perfectly if I make a request before 11.00 am I get it the same day at 7.00pm.
With Bittrex you need to first submit a ticket and ask request your account to be added to the USD markets, then you need to get your bank account approved. So maybe you will see the minimum once your account is eligible?
6126  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can BITCOIN may cross ATH in 2018 ?? on: August 04, 2018, 07:22:08 PM
I think people need to be realistic (including me) The chance to see the Bitcoin price above $20,000 in 6 months is near to zero. The good news published here and there will largely not be enough. Even if the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank published a press release to say how bitcoin is so great for the economy worldwide I doubt we will see an ATH. Maybe it could be done by hiring a marabout or a witch, but I don't know any.
6127  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Over 600 Public Comments Flood the SEC Website For The CBOE Bitcoin (BTC) ETF on: August 04, 2018, 06:10:05 PM
Not really indicative given that the majority of them are false comments. Some even used the names of real people to leave a comment. Hoping that they would not dumb enough to take seriously the comments in considerations. I am surprised the page hasn't been botted in mass. Roll Eyes

6129  Economy / Economics / Re: Can we sell cryptocurrencies in the traditional market like any commodity? on: August 04, 2018, 05:26:45 PM
Introducing cryptocurrency into the traditional financial market can only be done by banks. Otherwise, it would require a license to operate just like banks. And this is not something that any company can get. Add to that, the nature of cryptocurrency is rather considered as a "tool" for activities not very clear, so governments are rather reluctant
6130  Economy / Speculation / Re: How to make bitcoin prices stable? on: August 04, 2018, 03:42:17 PM
Currencies are not stable, gold is not stable, stocks option too, How do you want to get the Bitcoin price stable? Sure they don't have the same volatility but still... Now you can imagine making Bitcoin based on the USD 1BTC=1$ (like Tether does) but if it's to make a digital currency based on fiat, there is no use to make a digital currency
6131  Economy / Economics / Re: Binance about to offer Fiat-Crypto Trading. on: August 04, 2018, 02:43:24 PM
I think this is positive news.
Binance offering fiat to crypto trade pair , will spur the trooping in of new investors /traders.
Which will increase mass adoption of cryptocurrency.

But it will have a cost. People will have to verify their Id before to be able to make the deposits/withdraw in fiat. It won't come without a "sacrifice". In the end, it isn't making something different from other exchanges. And sorry but it's not the type of thing that will increase the mass adoption like you say.
6132  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Easybit ATM Locations: Prestige Vapor Lounge on: August 03, 2018, 10:00:16 PM
Is there a verification of users ID (KYC) while selling with these ATM? Because the few I saw with a 2-way ATM (in EU) we needed to provide our ID card and even take a selfie, no way to wear a balaclava since the operator is watching you lol
6133  Economy / Service Discussion / Helix-grams.com Bitcoin mixer Scam on: August 03, 2018, 09:43:42 PM
Even though I would not use it, logically Helix can be removed from the blacklist.  Undecided

Honestly, I won't remove Helix from the list of mixers to avoid. While I am happy if you got the 6BTC (if you really got) I find suspicious someone sending such amount in one shot, without trying first, and obviously without searching what pops out from search engines.

Since the site has been created we start to be used to see people joining the forum to tell us how Helix is "great" and "legit"
A good example to show you is this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4810205.0
And I agree with Tryninja, I don't know who is dumb enough to use the name of another business closed previously (other than to scam by taking advantage of the rep)

Salut

Si c'est pour faire des transactions en relation avec la crypto monnaie (buy/sell, ou autre) tu peux oublier. C'est contre leur reglement.
Pour autre chose je ne peux te dire car je n'ai pas d experience mais ils ont plutot une bonne image
6135  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto exchanges not helping Bitcoin! on: August 03, 2018, 08:16:41 PM
Contests in trading platforms are something usual, not on the crypto market only but with the traditional trading sites too. I remember about one that was offering a Lambo to the winner (it was Instaforex maybe) a few years ago. I don't see anything wrong and it's not giving a bad image to cryptos. If it does it's about the trading platform (fiat or cryptos, no matter). It's just a method to encourage and motivate the users. BTW, banks do the same
6136  Other / Meta / Re: Can't reply in forum on: August 03, 2018, 06:53:44 PM
Well it looks like you can. You probably just need to make sure you wait six minutes before you post.

Check his/her first post here, you will >>>  Cheesy
6137  Economy / Speculation / Re: Nobody is using crypto's to pay anymore on: August 03, 2018, 06:08:45 PM
But, but, but... nobody is using crypto because people consider it an "investment", so they just HODL or trade. They are not interested to use it with merchants no, they are not interested in decentralization or privacy no,  they just want to make a profit and receive it in their fiat account. Sure not everyone behaves like this, but let's be honest, the majority does. Why do you want to see more merchants accepting crypto if nobody is using, would you?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4756504.msg42963723#msg42963723

It is a bit like "the chicken and egg" scenario.
If nobody is spending bitcoin merchants as less likely to accept it.
Its a bit frustrating for those of us who earn crypto and want to spend it on goods.

The run up to $20,000 didnt help in this regard, a lot of people are indeed realising
a loss in their "investment" and are not going to spend it now if they havent already
liquidated back to FIAT

When you have buyers and sellers it creates an ecosystem hence you have related solutions because there is a market. That's where we see somethings news (for merchants for example)
If people keep to hold or trade then the crypto ecosystem won't be developed, the only things we will see developed are the regulations and the trading market. And you're right about the run up to $20,000 I didn't even think about that.



6138  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Was coinmarketcap hacked? on: August 03, 2018, 04:04:47 PM
It's just a technical problem which can happen to any index. Don't you think if it was really hacked, the guy would have better to do than that? It doesn't worth to hack the website just to change some values, come on. Don't spread this kind of rumor
6139  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Copy and paste? No longer need! on: August 03, 2018, 03:39:51 PM
There is something easier to use, LastPass. It can do exactly the same thing and it's not its main feature. Basically, it's a password manager and autofill. It's available in Firefox, Opera, and Chrome and it's free as addon browser.

Will the website get a new design too with the logo? What about the zen products their name will be changed?
