6361  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin will kill alt coins on: December 11, 2017, 06:02:29 PM
Bitcoin does not seem to stop growing

2018 Altcoin is dead
Some altcoins do have different markets which means no matter how the price of bitcoin soars up it has nothing to do with those alts even though most of them do rely on bitcoins price but yet saying that they would gone because of btc then its an impossible stuff because theres a strong support and people who do buy on those alts which means it would stay no matter what as long theres a market then bitcoin cant do nothing and also come to think off that its much better to have alts because it would extent the possibility on making money even more rather than on having bitcoin alone.
6362  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum is so slow on: December 10, 2017, 05:18:33 PM
Is there a problem in ethereum because all of the transaction is very slow. It almost take 2-3 hours before receiving the sent tokens. What is the cause of this issue? is this related to the dump price of eth
Seems like you arent informed on the recent updates or happenings here on cryptoworld since people already talking a lot regarding on this issue on slow confirmation on eth network and thats just because of the new game which is cryptokitties which you can actually find lots of threads here regarding on that stuff and the conversations of people towards it. If you can pay up more gwei then it would be more faster but i dont think it would really be worth off.
6363  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Legal But Regulated or Unregulated But Illegal? on: December 10, 2017, 03:45:18 PM
i think its more beneficial to have a regular but regulated type of option in bitcoin, because it is much more easy to use bitcoin and you dont have to hide from the government in using it, unlike when it is illegal its like youre selling drugs because you have to hide from the government.
The popularity of bitcoin largely stems from the fact that it is not available to regulate whether anyone. All of what concerns the state is doomed. I am sure that the regulation may simplify the use of bitcoins only for a short time. Then bitcoin will lose its popularity. It is not related to illegal actions. People simply do not trust politicians and want to be independent.
When it comes into a certain thing that would really be already come to a point on where it is being controlled by the government then popularity would really lose up which isnt just like before.People would really still prefer on bitcoin on unregulated way not only seeing on the illegal way but on the privacy that we do get from it. Far away from being detected or being surveillance for those people who are above on ranking.
I would rather choose up on this current situation.
6364  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain - Account emptied overnight? on: December 10, 2017, 02:42:04 PM
This is why I am not putting all my btc in just an one account and in the web wallet sites, because nobody could predict the time if somebody would mistakenly visit a phishing site with keylogger so that, greedy hackers will have full throttle access to the information's you have.

I suggest that you use multi accounts and remember all the information and don't just stuck your btc into one wallet even thou it's amount is small.

You can't retrieve everything that was lost all you have to do is to accept. In bitcoin there is no assurance and insurance.
Its not really necessary to have many wallets specially on web wallets, maybe 2-3 for allocation of each wallet would really be fine and as being said we wont really even know on when we do lose up our bitcoin no matter how we do set high security measures but there are really times we cant really avoid accident of getting hacked. If you do store up on single wallet then recovery would really be hard specially you lose up huge amounts. In the case on what we do see here, wallet have been compromised and nearest possible thing happen is that op being phished.
6365  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing? on: December 10, 2017, 01:05:18 PM
Steam dropped bitcoin support citing "high volatility" as a motive.

When amazon stock jumped from $18 to $1,200 over a period of years, was this high volatility a bad thing?

If bitcoin's value increases from $6,000 to $16,000 over a period of months, and HODL'ers benefit, this high volatility is bad?

Where does the idea of high volatility being an unnecessary evil come from?

Are there good arguments or evidence which support the concept of high volatility being a negative circumstance?

In a sense, volatility simply means the price of something moves a lot, its not that bad if the vast majority of motion is in an upward direction?

 Huh Huh Huh
If steam do have that reason regarding volatility. I dont think so because i do see that they are seeing on bitcoins transactions fees rather on its exact value. Imagine that there are lots of players on Steam on any different game and players wont really bother to use up bitcoin considering on the fee that they would need to pay up and the management of steam did actually see this scenario which do make them decide to dropped them of but on general speaking volatility do really give benefit most of the time specially on traders.
6366  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: Change rules in bounty programs. on: December 08, 2017, 08:08:47 AM
I think when they change the rules of the game already in its process, it's wrong.
the guys work, and then through time they go into the branch, and they see that they worked for free.
You are really right in this matter, because I, too, have been deceived in this way in many ways, and besides, if you look at a lot of the project existing on the forum, they sin in the same way.
There are lots of bounty hunters who have been deceived for how many times already on those campaigns which turns out to be considered as scam because they do changed the rules and payrate after the campaign have succeeded and accumulate millions of funds from its investors and which turn out that you are just working for how many weeks to promote them and provide all the task they need but still end up on receiving tokens which isn't really worth for your hard work.
These are the risk involve when we are engaging into bounty campaigns on where theres really a tendency that we would able to receive unworthy pay at the end of the campaign when they suddenly changed out the rate and as being said it do suck but we cant do nothing but to murmur or whine on the rights that we should fight for as a bounty hunter but most of the time these kind of situations isnt really been addressed too much or deserve to get negative trust here on this forum but for sure it would really give a negative impression into the project itself.
6367  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Do you REALLY like ETHERDELTA? If YES.WHY? on: December 07, 2017, 10:47:35 PM
Etherdelta is decentralized exchanger that difficult to you for some traders.specially newbies.And the interface is not user friendly.it need GAS for everything.and the import account from private key also a risk.but i saw some traders really like etherdelta.But i want to know what is the specialty in it.
At first experience with Etherdelta was not soo good and as you said its not really newbie-friendly which you would really have confusion on what to do next specially on executing orders. Even on just depositing your tokens into the site will really be confusing if you didn't read up the guide this is why its always been suggested to read up first before trying to make use because one mistake will really be costly because every transaction you would make would really have a corresponding gas which do really suck when you are a newbie,you would consume your eth but the your purpose isn't done yet.
6368  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO is the best way to invest? on: December 07, 2017, 10:07:50 PM
ICO is one of the best way in investing your money. I also earned a lot investing ICOs in the past. You need to chose one ICO's with hype around it. And with low HardCap now. And you also need to diversify it just like you are in trading or doing long term hold.

"You need to chose one ICO's with hype around it."

Do you know how shitty ICO's turned into successful money makers and finally  a big scam ? Like that.
It is simple,create a fake hype around your shitty github account with absolutely no code,put like a100 thousand dollars into marketing and make naive people like you to fall into it.Pretty sure you would have made those amounts from air-drops.
I agree hype is just that hype, some may make money with the project but most people that invested in such a project will lose money in the process, the most important thing are the devs and if the project is a viable idea, if it is, you may need to hold for a long time but eventually you will make money.
Holding is good but would depend on a certain coin you do hold up and this is the crucial thing since you wont even know if this coin would possibly pump on future.This is why seeking up informations and making research is suggested.If a certain project do have frequent updates regarding into their project then its a good sign that their devs are serious for going long term which we we can really presume that its really worth it to hold of. ICO is good way on making money but just on the past on where most ICO's are really worth and appealing but now on these recent days most of them end up on just a trash.
6369  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain Wallet Problem on: December 07, 2017, 09:29:58 PM
Maybe the email you have provided is not valid or consider as verified or the problem is just your internet connection, you should have double check it, if anything gets worse try to contact administrator of that site if nothing happens then try to create a new one. And keep all your information all intact, put verified emails so that you will not struggle next time.

Thanks for you response!

Actually I've been working with Blockchain wallet for a while and this is the first time it happens. Always had same email and everything.

But now, I was checking their Twitter and Facebook page... A lot of customers are complaining about not receiving authorization emails... So I guess something is wront with them.

Now I guess I'll just have to wait.. But as I wait, I'll be looking for a new wallet.
You cant really do nothing but to wait up since this is common with blockchain wallet which their email system do have some delays which it do really get you pissed when you are really in a hurry but this thing is really good since it is really a strong security for your account which it do really need some authentication verification on a certain wallet.If it didn't arrive just try it out again and wait up for some time.These kind of delays can really be experience on using this wallet.Its up to you if you would decide to use up another.
6370  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Turning crypto into fiat or is that even nessesary anymore! on: December 07, 2017, 09:03:07 PM
From now even though Crypto in on the moves right now we still run by fiat and the world's economy still coping from these change however as the year's comes by we will no need to worry changing bitcoin into fiat as many land service now accept Bitcoin and alternative o bitcoin cryptocurrency's.
It all depends on the needs of the person. If you are having some kind of urgency or you really need paper money, then it is not a bad idea to make the best possible use of your bitcoins and convert them into paper money. In normal days, once you are not having any kind of emergency, the best practice which you can observe is to remain calm and keep on holding your bitcoins for more time.
This is true which turns out to be on case to case basis since not all people are similar when it comes on situations on life where there are instances where we do really need money and we are out of cash either we don't have still salary yet or don't have too much savings which do lack on the money you do currently need and as being said its not really bad to get some of your coins and convert it to fiat since this is also good for having a back up fund and at the same time it do gain interest as you keep it.
6371  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CryptoKitties is mental on: December 07, 2017, 07:31:31 PM
It's just another fad like Flappy Bird was only this time it's a crypto game.  Once it inevitably dies off and people move on to the next nonsense thing, it will all return to normal.
Completely true and the thing we should do now is wait until that thing dies and lost interest by people because if that thing happen just like on most thing hyped up do easily pass up and move on into a new one which is common or normal thing for people to do.For now since its still booming up then we would still suffer on very slow confirmation because of the congestion of the network.It do really sucks but we cant do nothing but to wait until the hype is already depleted.

6372  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How to get most out of Airdrops??? on: December 07, 2017, 07:01:10 PM
Starting this thread to discuss most out of airdrops.

As in these days airdrops are frequent. Personally I have gained some from these.
Looking forward to learn more tis from experts in this space.
Any suggestions are welcome
Thanks in advance!!!

There is no trick when it comes to those any more than the rest of the coin choices. It is the same as picking the ICO, you will never know until the last minute and that is how it is always going to be. There are those that push and make you think that it is going to happen and then when the moment comes, bam, they are gone and there is nothing that you can do, at least with the air drop you have likely not invested anything but time.
Considering on the current number of ICO and Number of Airdrops I would say that they are somehow equal on quantity which would really give you a hard time on selecting them.You are right on what you you are saying here which theres no trick when it comes to choice and this thing would really depend on your own intuition and research into those things.Its up you on which one you would choose and profitability or making free money on airdrops are really just on slim chances knowing that most them are just total craps.
6373  Economy / Economics / Re: Your bitcoin experience, how did it started? on: December 07, 2017, 04:00:19 PM
I started bitcoin just a little while. But I heard about it last august. At first I was not convinced and I didn't think that I would be interested on such a business. But this month my friend brought out a brand new laptop and he confirmed that it was from his bitcoin income. So I was finally conviced and I made up my mind. It's okay for me that I won't make money wuick but I believe that waiting and posting and posting eventually will help me earn money. Thank you and have a great day.
Its never been to late to engage into bitcoin works which you can potentially make money but you did already miss those times on where bitcoin was still cheap and might give you some decent growth if you did able to accumulate on those months knowing that bitcoins price isn't too high on those days. You can still make money and as I can see your friend do campaigns since you mention about posting and posting which is only connected on joining into signature campaigns.If I were you better to read and expand even more on the possible ways on earning bitcoin not only just on focusing on signature campaigns.
6374  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Is it legal to sell bitcoin for cash ? on: December 04, 2017, 04:34:50 PM
I was thinking of selling my bitcoins for cash. Is it perfectly legal to do so ? Amount is close to 3-4K.

Thanks for reading.

Yeah,it is absolutely legal to sell bitcoins for cash,it is illegal if your country banned that bitcoin.But some countries having limitations for cash trading like $2000 is the highest value you can trade with direct cash if your amount is more than that amount then you have to get through banking transaction.The limitations maybe vary for different countries so you have to google it to find the limitations of your country.
But in my country doing these kind of trading is absolutely legal.
Limitations would really vary and the thing you should focused on is on the limitations of the exchange on where you would decide to sell of your coins and the banks on where those funds would be transferred. Speaking on person to person sell up its still legal the main concern here is that if you country does prohibit bitcoin transactions then you would really be have problems on that one but yet we can still able to evade it since cashing out or converting bitcoin to fiat is simple without being traced up.
6375  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't Spend Too Much Time Trading? is that true? on: December 02, 2017, 07:42:18 PM
Yes, I totally agree with you. Spend too much time on trading will make you confuse. Let spend your time to research and find out other good coins
Yes The bad thing if we spend much time in trading is we will be stressing in our psycology, it will makes our emotions unstable in trading activity usually it will makes losing money, actually we must find the best way on trading that doesn't disturb our time and there are no clear rules about that, everything depending on the time every the traders due to every traders doesn't have same time , so the solution for this problem is come to the traders them selves.

It depends really. You'll figure out things a lot faster if you spend a lot of time there. Of course there will be a lot of mistakes and wrong decisions along the way but that will hasten your growth as a trader. The more you spend time, the more experience you'll get. But it depends on a person really if they want to be day traders or holders
As in the statement, more the time spend more will be the experience gained in trading. With bitcoin as well other cryptocurrencies the price move happens very precisely, for which a close observation is a must. This is possible only when one can spend good time on analyzing the market.
I agree with you if we spend much time for searching new information about the digital coins, bad or good news related with digital coins and learning about the analysis fundamental or analysis technical, but i don't agree if we are always stay on the monitor of computers just for open position buy and sell without any analysis before entry the markets, trading is not like doing real job spending much time in trading activity doesn't mean it will gives much profit or constant profit due to find the main trend of price needs long time.
Its up really on your choice if you would really push yourself on doing too hard on researching as long you do have the time to spend on and not compromising your responsibilities and priorities which we do know time would really be consumed on here and knowing all the fundamentals of each coin we do tend to search up would really be time consuming. Good or bad news as long its applicable for our possible entry points then it would really do give somehow the edge for us to make profits not just totally making orders randomly.
6376  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Really slow support from Poloniex ? on: December 02, 2017, 06:43:22 PM
no one can help you here, waiting is a tedious job, you can only wait for replies from poloniex support. my advice do not make a lot of support tickets, 1 or 2 is enough.
Correct, don't spam the tickets for just to you be on queued. This is annoying to the supports and especially when they are receiving too many queries that they can't deal altogether at the same time.

They had tons of problems dealing with everyday and sometimes we are the only ones who are lack of patience. But I know OP's struggle with 4 days stuck with his problem.

Try to wait for some more time. We can't help you on it but waiting will help you.
Spamming tickets wont really help out for you to be prioritize which are just adding up the tickets which are on pending.In the current situation of poloniex as of now regarding with their slow,its is really very slow which we should really need patience but there are instance that it is really too long to wait and if our issue is on our exchange funds then we would easily gone our temper and done such things that being stated on here.
6377  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: A big problem in bitcoin ??? on: December 02, 2017, 04:52:55 PM
Bitcoin is a test of a new currency that is still in active development. Although over time and the increasing use of Bitcoin is becoming more mature, keep in mind that Bitcoin is a new discovery that explores ideas that have never been done before. Thus, Bitcoin's future can not be predicted by anyone.
Thanks

The fact that it is in the test phase is actually creating positive signs about Bitcoin's future. It can be crushed under the brutal influence of technology in the case of static, but it is a very important feature for its development to be dynamic.
I do not believe that bitcoin is testing a new currency. First, people do not use bitcoin as currency. Most people use bitcoin for speculation. Second order is to run bitcoin in circulation a new currency you need to destroy bitcoin. Do you think monogamous would be willing to use a new currency if bitcoin collapses?
I do completely agree on your points on which bitcoin isnt on testing phase and its not really being used mainly as a currency and it wont really be considered as one and to be used of.I would say that this thing would really be only good on this range which it is good for new way payment system and in regards with investment purposes.Problems and flaws of bitcoin is always there but as a user of it then we should really know how to patch it up or getting used to it.
6378  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where do you keep you coins after exchange? on: November 30, 2017, 07:43:12 PM
It is never smart to leave you coins on an exchange, it is simply not nearly as safe as putting them in some wallet or keeping them in cold storage.

Where do you keep you coins safe?
With just common sense this thing should really be always done on which we should not let our coins idle or stay up on exchange for longer times but there are really some instances that you would need to store it on exchanges specially if you do make active trades on it because its somehow hassle to transfer every now and then when you do store it on your wallet which would really require some fees.
6379  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto Trading Competitions on: November 30, 2017, 06:44:15 PM
We are currently setting up a professional trading competition platform dedicated to the Crypto Markets. The idea is to bring the best crypto traders across the world together in fun, competitive trading tournaments with very sizeable prize pots (up to $20k per contest). Using this data we are building the world's first competition-powered trading fund which funds the reward pools.

We tested this in the stock markets with fantastic results. But Crypto will be another level.

More info here: http://www.cryptonaut.ai

What do you think? What features would you want? Any feedback would be awesome.
I love the idea and the concept on which finally a competition on where it is focused into crypto trading which would really put up a little spice because of this competition.Just like what we do see on stocks and forex competitions on which the finest traders do really compete for the top and won that pot money.Now it is possible on on crypto market with this project. I would like to ask if theres a bounty section for this one?
6380  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin versus other offline currencies on: November 30, 2017, 06:12:18 PM
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.

It's very hard to say that bitcoin value is rapidly increasing.

It something that happened, it doesn't mean that it is going to always happen, I don't think that the fact that bitcoin's price is very volatility is a good thing, I think exactly the opposite.
It is hard to have bitcoin as a store of value because the price tends to go up and down very often.
When people search for a store of value they search for a safe asset, and bitcoin is not a safe asset at all.

As speculative currency the volatility is very good and worth a lot since we have never seen BTC falling on long term, what means the volatility is always pushing BTC up (and a lot!). But as you said, we can't predict it will always happen... It's the nature of Bitcoin, and even with so many apparent risks, it's still very worthful and profitable. I see Crypto-Currency as a new kind of investment like we never had before, very original and volatility is a part of it.

Bitcoin isn't so safe like traditional investments people make with fiat (I don't even think these investments are profitable), but it gives much more return. So you must think about about the possibilities: A profitable "risky" investment or a safe unprofitable one? I prefer the first alternative...

I agree with you. Though bitcoin is very profitable as a currency or commodity, risks are endless and as prices continuously increase, risks definitely higher too. Especially in investments started at high prices. The volality can never be accurately predicted or expected in reality.
This is always been the risk if you do decide to invest into bitcoin which volatility would really be the main enemy on here since we wont really know on where would prices would go either in a matter of minutes or hours or days.No one really knows this is why this crypto market is really unpredictable. Offline currencies is being used in the beginning of time which its being backed by the government which we can somehow say that it is stabilized and strong. Bitcoin is a different thing.
