The real truth is that you can’t avoid seeing the news online today, that’s the truth. These days Google now channels news to you according to your interests; if you’re used searching about things that has to do with food, you will mostly get news on that, and if you search about cryptocurrencies you will mostly get news on cryptos, there is no way you’re running away from it.

The best thing is just to hold on to what you believe and not listen to what the media has to say. As long as you know that Bitcoin can be trusted, then stick to it and stop panicking when the news says something bad, you’re very sure that the price will go up.
6182  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can FUD destroy bitcoin? on: April 10, 2018, 12:50:48 PM
Many of the FUDs circulating about bitcoin seem to indicate the scouring of bitcoin users' trust on bitcoin so bad perceptions of bitcoin, especially for new users and selling bitcoin, which seems deterrent to use bitcoin, will the price of bitcoin be destroyed by FUD, How do you react to it?
If FUD was going to destroy bitcoin, I can assume bitcoin would have been destroyed hugely by now and there would have been nothing left.

FUD is something that is normal, most especially for every new market and that is what makes it stronger as far as I am concerned, as it keeps weathering those storms and getting better, then we keep seeing stronger investors who would not care based on experience. We have always experienced FUD, and it won't stop, but they are meant to just scare the weak ones.
6183  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: IS IT THE BEST TIME FOR GAMBLING? on: April 10, 2018, 11:25:10 AM
I usually tend to gamble larger bets when the price goes this low then I would if the price per bitcoin was higher.
It is just a phase of seeing the lower the price per coin the more of it you can risk of it.
I mean I am not as conservative with my bet amounts as I would if I had less to bet with since it costs more.
It just might be me I do not know.  Embarrassed
I guess that is what usually happens anyway since the equivalent of what you are gambling in dollar this time around is usually more in quantity. Although over the years, I have tend to always use this time to accumulate and hold than trying to use it to gamble, while hoping that I get to see more from gambling which we all know it is not possible. Moments, like this still does not change my gambling behavior though, as I still do that with what I can afford to lose, so at the end, it still requires me gambling with sense.
6184  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jackpot...... on: April 10, 2018, 10:29:25 AM
unfortunately, I don't have any experience to win the jackpot, I only can win small money so congratulations for you to win the jackpot and I hope that in the next round, you can win more money. but you don't need to continue playing the games because when you win the jackpot, I think you need to stop for a while and enjoy your money. and if you continue, I think you will become too greedy and you will think that you can win more money.
Brother you only need to understand that things are not good and suitable for you in gambling. You can’t make anything better if you are still gambling after your wins. So better is to leave this world and join some respectable source of money where there is at least some surety of your work and then benefits would be coming at the end. Either it is jackpot or not, just quit it for your good.

Well it won't hurt to have a go at it sometimes. Just manage your expectations so you can also manage your emotions. Who knows, a bet or two may actually get you to hit jackpot. You won't get if you don't try Cheesy
Yeah, as long as you do not even expect too much from it, you will be able to manage your emotions and your decisions as the case may be. I know a lot of people may want to have a better edge by putting in much to have a higher chance but the thing is, once you consider it as luck, you really would just stick to that and just put what you can always afford to lose to play the jackpot, and if nothing happens, at least, you know that you did not lose much and if you ended up getting lucky, then good for you.
6185  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: DASH is fully controlled by the bears. on: April 10, 2018, 08:54:20 AM
All coins have been going down massively, not only DASH. I wouldn't make to much assumptions as crypto is having a downwards trend.
Bitcoin dropped from 20000$ to 7000$, ETC from 40$ to 13$, ripple from 3.8$ to 0.5$,...
Exactly, so anyone should know that asides from dash, the whole market in general now, except few, are controlled by the bears and I see no reason why the OP has decided to fashion out only dash in the equation as it is glaring that the whole market is showing exactly the same trend. We are still all seeing how the whole week is going to turn out, but I am not expecting so much for this week at all.

Isn't the whole market controlled by the bears already ? So why attribute it to only Dash ? The thing is the whole crypto market has been controlled by the bears from the onset and there is absolutely no exception from bitcoin to Ethereum to even dash itself. While some may seem to have bottomed out, we may still see further drop in prices for some, so it is always best to stay careful in market like this as a trader. Even bitcoin is hugely controlled by the bears right now.
6186  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are there any groups for full time crypto traders? on: April 09, 2018, 04:57:54 PM
I was wondering if any of you knows about any groups of full time traders that are opened for new members? Maybe collaborative trading groups, or just society of dedicated people who talk about strategy. I don't mind if they ask you to verify your net worth, as I find this understandable.
You really should stop looking for groups mate and go learn. Sure, there are so many of them and that is one of the reasons why you should be careful because you may not see one good enough to guide you to be able to know what to do except you and you yourself, which balls down to the fact that you should try as much as possible to learn as much as you can before you even start considering trading at all.
6187  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Still HODLing? There must be better way! on: April 09, 2018, 11:07:31 AM
by holding the coin you have of course it is the best way because if you sell it at a very cheap price you will surely get a lot of losses because I think the price of the coin's movement will rise and fall so not always under.
The main spot where holding makes a lot of sense is when at least you do not have any idea on how to trade and you are just there investing and looking forward to the future.

The truth is that in as much as some people want to take advantage of the situation in the market, they have no knowledge of what to look out for to be able to get these market benefits from the fluctuations and so many people have only ended up screwing up their portfolio that way, unless they just ended up getting lucky.
6188  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Bitcoin Price Going Down? on: April 09, 2018, 08:09:17 AM
your question how much should I invest? answer how much your money is and how sure you invest your money. if you can afford to buy in large quantities then maybe you will be the next whale. and in better purchases in the price of 7000 $, this seems like a suitable price for being a whale.
That is even a question that is totally dependent on one's pocket. Not everyone can afford to buy a single bitcoin, so in as much as what you are buying is affordable, you can always go ahead. This is the kind of moment where anyone should even be considering to buy bitcoin since the value is a lot low and the fact that you can end up having a good time ahead when the market recovers should be enough to life one's spirit.

One prime reason we need to understand is, after big growth happened in last year, people who have invested in 2015, 2016 and in early months of 2017, might have started to book their profits which eventually led the prices to down from ~$20k levels.
6189  Economy / Speculation / Re: Ten years later on: April 09, 2018, 04:50:48 AM
No one can predict the future. A bitcoin of $500,000 is a guess, a wish.

Perhaps with the development of science and technology, there will be another currency to replace bitcoin.
But you just predicted $500,000 even though no one can like you said. Grin There is a lot of development that would have taken place in ten years’ time, so I would not be surprised to see that amount in that period. Also, with the way things are going rapidly, we may even witness this before then. In ten years later, I just want to see bitcoin doing better as a currency and very much adopted.

Of course, I still hope that bitcoin will always exist and become the universal currency of the world.
In next ten years, bitcoin may not achieve the mark of being universal currency of the world but it will definitely will stay with us. I mean in next few decades it may rise up to the level of universal currency of the world as per the demand of digital era.
6190  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Huge correction 3 months - How to invest in difficult times on: April 08, 2018, 07:14:08 AM
There was information about the fact that a few weeks ago the EOS project sold about 50,000 ETH at the Bitfinex exchange and after that the price of the coin fell very sharply. Perhaps now, many projects sell their ether, pushing the price even lower.
These are all rumors and even though they did, the market itself generally is at a huge dip already. After all, the market bounced back after the claimed selling by the EOS team that got out but is still back lower again.

Anything can happen in the market, but one thing is that it seems with the way things are going, a lot of people are trying as much as possible to play safe in the market and that may include some of the devs as well. The EOS issue may be right and may be wrong, but whichever way, we have to wait and see how things unfold eventually.
6191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Rumor in April Fools' Day on: April 08, 2018, 06:50:19 AM
I think that this is all the FUD which now more than enough. I now really do not know what to believe in ..
Just believe in the power of what you are holding. That is all you need to believe.
If you listen to FUDs, fake news like you have already called it, you are only going to end up joining the category of those who are busy panicking for no reason.

Just understand that the market is the way it is and no one can change it, when the time comes for it to recover, it will recover and we will get to see holders smiling, those who panicked and new investors rushing back in not to miss out and then we see another new cycle.
6192  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to $15k in March, $8.5k by June, then $30+k by Q1/2019? on: April 07, 2018, 06:46:11 PM
Whatever the dude says it is still a prediction, no one knows when the pump and dump happens, keep on speculating because one day you will realize everything you predict misses  Cheesy
crypto market is the place where everything is possible  Cheesy

Read the previous predictions (even on this Forum). Over 90% of them or even more is not true. That is why it is never possible to guess the right price of crypto.
Anyone who is even making any future predictions in this market is absolutely as dumb as his prediction. I guess he must have something to say to rid his saying of $15k by March if possible. Well, we have gone past march now, we are in April, and we are still going down. No one can predict the future and only someone trying to gain some relevance from noobs will be dropping such predictions with some lame analysis which is what I feel this dude is just trying to do. A prediction must be backed by some real times news and incidents otherwise I believe they will not get attentions from this community.
6193  Economy / Speculation / Re: How deep can the bitcoin fall now? on: April 07, 2018, 04:50:31 PM
If we are talking about this week, it would be possible since weekend is almost here and we all know that when weekend starts, trading of cryptos slightly slow down. It will recover again probably Monday or Tuesday. Give it more time for Bitcoin to recover, I suggest uninstalling those mobile apps that tell you the price of coins and token.
Lol. Even if anyone uninstalls any app that informs them about the crypto price, I want to believe that no matter what, they are still going to one way or the other find out what is going on, unless they just want to completely shut themselves off from the internet. I also believe patience is what anyone needs now, most especially for those who have been trading. As long as you can have that, without bothering yourself what is going on with the market, such a person will definitely do well.

Yeah, it took some experience to worry less, but as long as you have not gone all in and you are convenient with what you are invested, how far the deep should be the last thing to think, but how far the possibility of growth in the future is what is important.
Probably, out your experience you may keep your coolness but I am unable to do so. When my networth is falling down, I am almost getting heart attacks even I am also a strong believer of the future of bitcoins.
6194  Economy / Economics / Re: its not about how much you invested, its when you should invest? on: April 07, 2018, 04:00:23 PM
kinda strange when investing in a volitile  market. you can spend 10,000 $ into the market in january and come out less. than what a person invested in april with 10,000 $.
Obviously everyone understands how volatile the market is and how no one can absolutely predict what happens next, but the last time I checked it is not a get rich quick scheme and one way or the other; you just have to be patient enough as an investor even when you bought at the top. You should always remember that the top yesterday is the bottom today and it has been like that for years but I agree with you that you can be very cautious to know exactly when to buy so you can be on a safe side, but the truth is unless you are a trader who understands how to read the charts, how will you easily know?
6195  Economy / Economics / Re: Good news or bad news... on: April 07, 2018, 03:19:03 PM
Japanese Ministry of Finance is going to prepare rules for cross-border transfers of digital money

The Ministry of Finance of Japan is going to prepare in the near future rules for the foreign transfer of digital money.

According to the report of the newspaper Nihon Keizai on April 5, the Ministry of Finance plans to introduce rules under which notice to the authorities should be strictly mandatory if the cost of transferring money for a foreign transfer is more than 30 million yen.

It is said that the decision of the Ministry of Finance will facilitate the consideration of the real situation with operations abroad and is designed to curb money laundering operations.
Source: Alpari
I cannot say if it is a bad news or good news, but one thing is that they are doing it for a good cause which is to curb money laundering. However, when they are saying cross-border transfer, does this mean if I am planning to exchange making use of the exchange platform, because the last time I checked it was this main reason cryptocurrency came into play, where I can send bitcoin from wallet to wallet without any issue ?

I can also decide to find a way to buy bitcoin over the counter as the case may be unless that has been banned in Japan though, but in general, what happened to P2P transaction that would make the whole process easy for the government. Or am I missing something out here ?
6196  Economy / Economics / Re: government and crypto collide on: April 05, 2018, 04:10:55 PM
The collusion is because of misunderstanding. The government completely misunderstood the working of bitcoin only looking for ways to control it. But bitcoin being decentralized and P2P is not easy to be controlled.
I really would not say it is misunderstanding but rather a way to deliberately just not want to understand as long as it is an uncontrolled space. There has always been this idea of central authority stating different policies and trying to control every monetary situation in every country, so the idea of having decentralization in place cannot even fly for them.

Nevertheless, blockchain technology will somehow be adopted by a lot as we can see so many countries already trying to embrace the idea of building their own currency on the blockchain.

6198  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will never reach $5,000 again. on: March 28, 2018, 06:10:12 PM
We cannot just say because some specific stuff happened in the past, it will repeat itself in the future. We all know every currency market will always set its own new record, so I do not see any reason to attribute yesterday to today. A lot is different with past years, we cannot compare fundamentals, and we best just wait for the year to set its own record and hope for the best.

Everything that happens today is a new record set and that is what we are going to have it as. So to answer the OP's concern on $5000, I believe even may test $5000, bitcoin price definitely will bounce back sharply. I guess $7000 will act as strong support but we need to wait for confirmations.
6199  Economy / Speculation / Re: Saving for your Children Bitcoin vs Cash? on: March 28, 2018, 05:17:32 PM
At First, it's better to inverse in bitcoin and then Real estate .Finally the stocks. Apart from stocks ,you will get more profit in bitcoin. If you had save some bitcoin for your children, they can buy a property from the profit. It's essential to buy a property for your children. If you brought a bitcoin, they can buy a house with that bitcoin.
Why not just invest in all and at least for the sake of not knowing anything the future holds, diversify for your kids. We may think one option is the best today, but we cannot say how that option is going to end up being tomorrow.

I still see bitcoin as the future anyway and by then when my kids are all grown, they would have been swimming in a lot of investments which they will just be gradually building on. That is what I foresee anyway. Once you are able to save for your kids, it is more like getting the future secured for them.

The truth about the whole thing is that bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large has been able to give us the avenue to easily save up for the future and with the way things are going and the level at which bitcoin could turn out, we may just have to see a lot playing out for most of them to build on once they are ready for that future.
6200  Economy / Economics / Re: Cost of Living Comparison on: March 28, 2018, 04:37:24 PM
Cost of living is something everyone should consider and even more so for those of us who can make our living anywhere in the world, but there is more to life than just cost of living, you also have to consider how happy you will be in a certain place. If we look at the countries with the highest happiness ratings we'll often find that they are also among the happiest countries.
Yes, absolutely true. Talking about countries with the highest happiness rating, this is just simply because everything works perfectly well for them, they do not have to live and worry a single day about how they want to cope for the next one and so on.

It is good to always consider this a lot most especially when it comes to trying to migrate with the way things are going, since I can after all, like you have said, do my freelance thing anywhere, as a trader.
