Lykke will help with that, but I don't think BTC is a good thing they way that works today. First is not decentralize anymore, is very centralized and few miners are in control, I don't trust them. Secondly is very vulnerable because is not running in every computer as Satoshi Nakamoto wanted, is running in few farms that can go down anytime and game will be over.
BTC is not anymore the anarchic coin, people find a way to make it "fiat"  or even worse actually..
I am not really sure if you are the owner of Lykke or you have some stake with this company but the way you have been vouching for them has really been crazy Grin. First and foremost, you really need to hear yourself first and the centralization issue.

Bitcoin is still as decentralized as it has always been and there is no way power has been given to miners, segwit2x maybe would have but for now, No. So, get your facts straight. Secondly, you cannot expect everything to always be the same and the same satoshi designed it to be that way.

You can go back to the books to find out, so if you missed mining with your PC when the number of miners were not much then, you sure do not have anyone to blame.
6303  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you think its now the time to sell bitcoin? on: December 06, 2017, 01:37:14 PM
10k$ isn't a good price for selling, because it's not enough, get more greedy Cheesy
Lol. For a trader before what we have now, anything around $10,000 upward was a good time to buy then.
Bitcoin is now above $11,000 for a while now and it has been giving some pretty good stability for now even though I still feel anything can still happen to make it go lower in few days to test support.

Once you have a strategy to trade, you can sell when you feel it is right. I sold at $10,890 and bought back at $9100 and that has made some pretty good profit for me. Right now is to see the turn of events from here.
6304  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do people actually buy coins with real life money? on: December 05, 2017, 05:42:04 PM
Now I have more means to earn Bitcoin, so I don't really buy anymore. But I've bought when it was under 1000$, although back then people were asking the same question "isn't Bitcoin too expensive to buy?".
It's always too expensive if you don't afford to put away some money for investing. If you afford to join this, keeping in mind that Bitcoin was always said to be a "high risk investment", it's not too expensive, given the promised return (some say it'll reach 1 million USD in some years).

And you don't have to buy an entire Bitcoin. 0.1BTC or even 0.01BTC is also not so bad.
Right! That is one question people will always keep asking even in the long run until probably bitcoin reaches its peak which no one knows. I remember early this year when people were asking the question you stated and looking forward to a crash from $1000 only to find out that they have messed up totally and still, ended up not buying till now.

This is an investment and anything can happen, waiting for some perfect moment will always make one to miss the present one. People who are smart and have the bucks to buy still do every day, while those who do not, find ways to earn.
6305  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this the Best Time to Buy BTC at 10k on: December 04, 2017, 09:39:49 AM
Demand and supply - as it has been calculated above, says it's still a very good price to buy BTC, but the history says that BTC's price like dropping when reach "magic" numbers .. I'm afraid that before reaching $10k - BTC price can fall even few thousends. ..
History right ? One thing we have to understand is that BTC of last year is not the same as BTC of this year as the market has really matured and I am sure everyone can see that. In fact, the China FUD says it all compared to 2013 during the MtGox issue.

If we want to be comparing history right now, there are so many factors we have to be looking at, and I am not sure we can have those huge crashes anymore.
6306  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Will Reach $40,000 in 2018? on: December 04, 2017, 08:37:59 AM
Billionaire hedge fund legend and former Fortress executive Mike Novogratz believes the bitcoin price will “easily reach” $40,000 by 2018.what do you think?

When somebody makes such statements,he has to provide some arguments and proofs about his theories.
Bitcoin price increased 10 times during 2017.From around 1000 USD back in January to close to 10K USD now.
Based on this trend,i can predict that bitcoin price could increase 10 times during 2018.From 10K to 100K USD.I might be right or i might be wrong.We don`t know how the central banks and governments will react to the growing bitcoin market.
Well, there is nothing much Government or Central Bank can do at this stage than to just accept the fact that the craziness of the crypto world has begun.

You think they themselves have not seen this coming even though they tried all their best to see how it can be stopped. This is globally unstoppable and whatever happens at the end, they will just end up finding a way to regulate it. 10K to 100K though, that is a huge one.
6307  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is is still a good time to Invest in Bitcoin? on: December 04, 2017, 07:36:47 AM
A matter of time to realize this scenario because no one really knows about the future of this great digital asset but since we all already know the capability of bitcoin then we should start accumulating it don't mind the price right now because for sure it will continue to soar higher.
We already have a major correction and it seems the best time to buy bitcoin is now. I feel most times people think too much when it comes to buying bitcoin even when they are holding for a long-term anyway. Now that is recently corrected to a little bit above $11,500, people were still asking if they should still buy or not.

It is crazy though cause humans can be naturally greedy. Like you said, it is just a matter of time and soon we will see a huge increase.
6308  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: New Poll On Use of Bitcoins on: December 03, 2017, 05:16:53 PM
I am so willing to part with my little Bitcoin if there would be a business program that can help it grow some more. It should be Bitcoin in and Bitcoin out so that I can still participate in both sides of the game. But then I know that it can be risky and since I am not that of a gambler, I might as well decide to hold it in my wallet not unless someone can show me that there is a way to grow my Bitcoin in a legitimate and sustainable way. Passive income is one of the best thing to get into...literally it can mean getting income out of doing nothing  (as compared to the usual job or business).
Yeah, everyone would really want that but of course, like you said, that would be extremely risky as any program like that willing to kind of increase someone's bucks would rather be tending towards HYIP schemes that would not last or something related.

As for me, trading to increase what I have and also working some other side gigs is good enough to keep increasing what I have. Every other thing can come later like traveling deals when I am sure I have more than enough.
6309  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Day Trade on: December 03, 2017, 03:26:16 PM
Not really, daytrading makes me all jumpy. I prefer doing good research and making a long-term investment
Lol, day trading is like one hell of a risky type of trading, and honestly, getting jumpy is even an understatement.
It is something my heart cannot even bear. Grin They would have stopped beating from the level of palpitations I would just keep having.

I am just very cool with position trading of alts for now and selling at a huge bull run for BTC and buying back at corrections. The patience is good enough for me, but day trading? Not my thing.
6310  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to become a TRADER on: December 03, 2017, 08:29:05 AM
Trading is one of most toughest thing.it needs proper informations about the basics and fluctuations of market.Dnt just jump into trading without proper knowledge.Lot of newbies do blunders and then blame the market.first learn through youtube google and different blogs.and if you can afford go for some reliable paid course.after that you would be a successful trader.
Trading is really very tough. I was one of those who rushed into trading at first thinking, Oh! It is all about reading the charts and seeing what has been happening before and with that profit is imminent. I got into trading and I ended up losing so bad.

Luckily for me, I do not give up easily and then I started searching for some of the things I did not do right, which should have been the first step I should have taken before starting to trade. I wish I did, and I would have been making some bucks right from the start, but after learning, I got it all back and doing pretty well right now. Never miss the learning phase.
6311  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: was trading beneficial for you? on: December 03, 2017, 07:57:30 AM
For all the people who started trading with dreams to become rich.
How has your journey been so far.
Was there a net profit or loss till now.
Do mention from when you started trading and what amount in total did you loose or gain.
Also some mistakes that you would never repeat?
So far so good, I will say it has been extremely beneficial. Luckily for me I entered the trading profession without the feelings of trying to do it myself. I knew there was so much to gain and doing it well is what counts which I made sure I hit the books first and decided to learn as much as I could without rushing.

It started all well and I am happy where I am right now. Some mistakes happen once in a while, but I learn from them, but not something too much that the profit I get cannot always take care of.
6312  Economy / Economics / Re: popularity of bitcoin dictates demand, means more profit on: December 03, 2017, 04:19:54 AM
in my opinion, this is what happening right now as the trend of bitcoin price has been sky rocketing.  what do you think affects the price increase of bitcoin today?

Mostly speculation. People are buying bitcoins and expecting to make money when they sell at a higher price.
they won't buy bitcoin if they don't know what it is. considering nowadays a lot of big global media reports about how the price of bitcoin reached 10,000 USD makes people curious and start make a quick learning then decide to make a speculation to invest.

the point are indeed the popularity push the demands , it could keep growing for at least in the next few weeks.
Yes, bitcoin is gaining huge popularity each and every day and that is giving it a serious bullish push and without doubt it would keep giving it further push as we enter next year. I would not really say most people really have the full understanding of bitcoin and which is why little spikes like this have been followed by huge drop in price as a result of FUD.

A lot of investors these days with the speculations going on are seeing bitcoin as a means of investment and that is all they know without even considering the risk.
6313  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is your view about lending coin? on: December 02, 2017, 06:31:47 PM
Why did you included bitconnect.. i saw this always advertise in facebook and youtube.
and its not safe to invest.. what you mention they are not safe to invest if you really wanted to invest why not invest more in bitcoin or bitcoin cash or altcoin which is already in good rankings in coinmarketcap than you investing it in lending coins..
And that is really what is making bitcoin even more interesting and really making a lot of users from the developing world and third world quickly want to be a part of it to improve their living standard.

The fact that bitcoin has really helped a lot of freelancers most especially, in getting paid easily has really been a good one for most people and that is causing some spread in most of these countries. Bitcoin is not where I am really looking forward for it to be in my country yet, but so far so good; it is not that bad either.
6314  Economy / Speculation / Re: what will happen with the BTC, if the dollar falls on: December 02, 2017, 02:27:55 PM
Please explain us how the Yuan will replace the dollar? Will China militarily intervene in the US and force the citizens to use Yuan instead? Crypto currencies will continue to boom and this totally independent of whether one crap currency will replace another government issued currency!

If the value of the dollar falls and it continuously falls, then the price for bitcoin in US dollar will increase as it already happened during the past years.
I really wonder. Dollar falling in value does not mean China will just impose Yuan on every country globally to start making use of Yuan as a global currency. Worst that can ever happen is that the value of USD will drop against other currencies which would also include bitcoin and then a lot of investors anyway would just find a better means to store their currency and get a better value for it.
6315  Economy / Marketplace / Re: LOOKING TO INVEST MY LIFE SAVINGS NEED ADVICE on: December 02, 2017, 10:58:04 AM
While many investments in crypto currencies were very lucrative the recent years, a part of your life savings should kept safe for bad times. If you live in a country with high electricity costs and warm temperatures and as a newbie I can't recommend to mine ETH or BTH because mining of those are expensive. There are other interesting coins at low prices available with potential high winning percentages if they will succeed, but you have to be cautious and spend some time for reading about the projects and preferably split your investment between several coins.
You really have a lot of point there and most especially trying to invest in some coins that are so undervalued right now with some huge potential to give something big in the long run. It is not all about going all in.

The truth is that for someone who could have just put about 200USD into Ethereum early this year, would have been worth about $9000 just before the end of this year already. It is about being smart and trying as much as possible to diversify into some good projects.
6316  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin versus other offline currencies on: December 02, 2017, 09:41:53 AM
Bitcoin value are rapidly increasing, so I never doubted if one day bitcoin surpass other offline currency in the world. I was completely believe that bitcoin is the future currency of the world. I'm looking forward to the value of bitcoin in the crypto industry this coming 2018. Most of the users are correct to their speculation because this coin now are totally reach $10,000. Obviously that offline money or paper currency are no longer increase their value in the market whatever happened.
At this stage, the rate of adoption is still very low and then I imagine when the time we have been waiting for when we will end up having some huge amount of FOMOs rushing in comes. Bitcoin has reached a huge ATH just in this year alone and I am not sure anything can bring it down further than it already is except for just some few corrections.

As time goes on and as bitcoin becomes even more usable for daily spending, offline currencies are going to be ignored by bitcoin enthusiasts, and as things get better, other enthusiasts will keep rolling in to be a part of the crypto world.
6317  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is a real asset, but it's in a bubble state. on: December 02, 2017, 08:47:47 AM
At the CNBC global CFO conference, 97 CFO were asked about their views on bitcoin. 27.9% of them think the encrypted currency is trueBut in a bubble state~ Smiley
Seems like even the CNBC doesn't understand the term "bubble" anymore... We don't know the value of Bitcoin, but it could easily be several trillion USD in market size. In that case it would be very far from being anything close to a bubble.

Will the price retract for a period of time? Probably, that's what happens most of the time in most markets after a bull run. But that doesn't make an asset a bubble, which would imply that the asset is overvalued (which with Bitcoin nobody can assess right now).
Yes, the last time I checked, something or an asset can be considered a bubble if it exceeds its intrinsic value.
Just like you have said, we do not even know the extent bitcoin is going to end up as and looking at the charts, we have not really had a very huge retraction except just some few corrections which are normal and totally show the support of the coin.

As far as I am concerned, the fact that bitcoin have limited supply, totally makes it undervalued right now compared to the number of population not yet making use of it and I would not consider the increase in value right now a bubble.
6318  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you choose to hold Bitcoin or Ethereum? on: December 02, 2017, 03:37:36 AM
I would choose to hold the two coins. because bitcoin and ethereum currently have very good prices and are rising sharply for now. in the future the coin will reach its highest point.
They really both have a huge way to go and I would not really discard anyone for one. It is the crypto world and the essence is to diversify. These are both some good coins with totally different functions and that is what is going to keep making them relevant in the long run.

Every investor should know that diversifying is really a good way to start rather than keeping your eggs in just one basket. Crypto world is getting interesting at the moment and every option should be considered as long as they are great options.
6319  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: LTC price 100 USD? on: December 01, 2017, 07:28:36 PM
The $100, was gone... I hope the prices stay on this 3 digit... LTC is a silver coin!
It is just a matter of time. We will just have to be very optimistic for next year. Now that it has been able to finally test those 3 digits, the correction is normal and it would still find time to get back to the top when the corrections are over.

A lot of money came into the crypto space, so now should be expected as a lot of traders are trying to make some profit. Just hold as the 3 digits would be back soon.
6320  Economy / Speculation / Re: The price of Bitcoin in 2020 on: December 01, 2017, 05:24:19 PM
I can feel that 2020 is where bitcoin already dominated the financial system and it is currently used in many fields so it could be $100k or more than that. I'm very positive with that because the bitcoin community just keep growing and supporting it all the way.
Apparently, the scenario A is playing out already now. Even bitcoin right now has surpassed the expectation of the first scenario and now we have it above $11,000 when even the scenario A speculated bitcoin to be around $8,000 by 2018. I guess we are in for a nice ride and with the look of things; we will just have to see how bitcoin is going to end up by 2020.

In positive thinking, I am expecting bitcoin prices to hit one millions dollars levels before 2020. Yes, I am expecting one billion level in a decade of time.
