641  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Coinbase Partnering with NBA and WNBA on: October 20, 2021, 01:56:25 AM
Cointelegraph announced Coinbase was Partnering with NBA and WNBA in a major crypto deal. Although the partnership will be more significant particularly to the NFT industry, it is also huge news for crypto in general.
This move is bound to take crypto a few steps closer to mainstream adoption. Glad to hear your comments about the news.
642  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Interest on Bitcoin on: October 18, 2021, 11:08:50 PM
I have been stacking some bitcoin for quite a while now. I'm using Kraken as it is a licenced exchange, however, the interest is pretty slim. You can "stake" bitcoin at Kraken with a +0.25% yearly income. Thing is, not your keys, not your coins. Even though Kraken is a trusted exchange, I'm thinking it is not worth the risk. Of course, I could go for other options which offer pretty good interests rates, however, the bigger the interest, the bigger the risk. You can also wrap your bitcoin and put it into DeFi options, but has said the bigger the reward the bigger the risk
643  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Cryptocurrency be a Global Currency in the Future? on: October 18, 2021, 06:58:43 PM
Yes, It can be expected that cryptocurrency will be a Global currency in the future.
 The BTC will be the father coin and there will be a lot of sub coins.
 Cryptocurrency is a unique kind of currency that has great potential.
It has an attraction for all ages of life. It has a great opportunity for those who want to do something and desire to step forward.
Moreover, It has equal chances for poor or rich for development .
This currency has brought a revolutionary change in the world of business and trade.
It promotes a positive activity also.


Well, isn't Bitcoin a Global currency already? I mean, Borders pose no challenges whatsoever; Governments can't do much against it as it is accepted everywhere in the world including in countries that have criminalised its use such as China. Why shouldn't we consider Bitcoin as a Global Currency?
644  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you quit Bitcoin if a shitcoin like Ethereum surpassed it? on: October 18, 2021, 06:53:11 PM
There is a lot of shilling lately (again) with "the flippening" event happening. Ethereum has created a new market which is basically 99% scam tokens, rugpulls, pump and dumps and NFTs which are probably used for money laundering. Anyway, the thing is, there is definitely if a demand for all of that, even if it's all based on a platform that's not decentralized.

So to the point: Would you quit if a centralized shitcoin managed to surpass Bitcoin in marketcap? At that point it would be clear that entire space is a joke. Bitcoin would still march on as usual, but it would be just sad to see people putting their money on shitcoins rather than on the only actually decentralized blockchain worth anything.

I guess that could happen, mate. In fact, at some point, I do believe that bitcoin will be surpassed.  Bitcoin is kind of limited when it comes to use cases, so that may be a killer. I only see its usefulness as a Store of value, hence with some other altcoins, we can find a wide variety of use cases. That said, I don't think that the space would become a joke at that point as the "shitcoin" that surpasses Bitcoin may be the recipe that solves the basics problems of scalability and security.

I cannot believe it. Nouriel Roubini, one of Bitcoin’s most commited CRITICS has changed his stance against Bitcoin, and has embraced it and has recognized its merits. Will Peter Schiff be next? I believe one of his feet has entered the door. His son owns Bitcoin. Cool

It is always great to see bitcoin haters abandon their stance. And it is not just this guy. Damn, even my father in law is now interested in bitcoin. Nouriel is a renowned Economist, so sooner or later he would have to recognise cryptos are a financial reality that is inseparable from the future. Not doing so would be like not having a degree in economics.
646  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's Say Bitcoin is scam on: October 17, 2021, 09:17:03 PM
Let's just it is scam
How Long from Today we have left until Bitcoin will be done?
Let's say its scam we know today so how long we have time until it collpse?
Just humble speculation Let's play out the worse case scenario hope for the best prepare for the worse!

That is something we cannot predict. Even though Cryptos are going through bubble, it is difficult to predict how much it can inflate until it bursts? IMO I see it having a big dip before hitting the 100k mark. Let's hope I'm wrong and it goes straight to 100K before any dips Tongue
647  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Competition] Private Key for 1BTC wallet hidden in a music clip on: October 16, 2021, 10:56:50 AM
after qwk has created this thread in the german location, i would like to do the same for the rest of us and also most here Wink
there is now a music video from the artist EES in which various codes for a BTC wallet are hidden. who has the private key then completely can then look forward to a wallet with 1BTC Grin Shocked

have fun listening to the music and searching/combining🎶

choose the 'best combination' music clip at👉https://www.eesy-ees.com/videos

From what I hear this competition has been going on for quite some time and up until now no one was able to crack it. I guess it will be very difficult to crack the passphrase even though there are plenty of tips. Best of luck to all and may the best man win.
648  Economy / Speculation / Re: 60k price recovery achieved on: October 15, 2021, 07:27:49 PM
As another poster mentioned, surpassing $70,000 is highly likely to happen before the end of the year.
What if we compare this bull with 2017 or even 2013? If that's what going to happen which is more likely as the trend says, I guess we could see an easy $100k while if history is to repeat itself as of 2013, someone said $288k seems not much unrealistic.

The thing is prices are through the roof. It's in fact a bubble that can burst at any moment. While it is not unrealistic to see bitcoin reach the 100k barrier, just think about the long term holders that are ready to dump at those prices. If that so happens, it will be raining blood everywhere.
649  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Bitcoin stands to gain when the government prints more currencies on: October 15, 2021, 04:17:51 PM
Several articles have been written on how the government always print more money just to pump the Central currency due to inflations and this has always given Bitcoin and edge over them, we saw the market already heading back to $64,000 which is the highest Bitcoin price since its creation and this further goes to credit the fact that Bitcoin is an anti-inflation currency and is ahead of the central bank traditional paper currency or CBDC.

Apparently US is preparing to print a lot of paper cash. Rumours have been going on saying they are on the verge of printing 31 million USD. I wouldn't be surprised at all. And I believe this has been having a direct implication on the bitcoin price.
650  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Putin believes Bitcoin has value on: October 14, 2021, 12:37:08 PM
Russia is adopting a different attitude towards cryptos than China. President Putin has come public saying "Bitcoin has value but it cannot be used in the Oil trade"

I guess Putin didn't still fully grasp the real potential of cryptos as he says
Quote
“Cryptocurrency is not supported by anything as of yet. It may exist as a means of payment, but I think it’s too early to say about the oil trade in cryptocurrency.”
But even so, it shows that Russia seems to be adopting a friendly position facing cryptocurrency and it may be having some impact on the industry. Given that China adopted a harsh position towards cryptos, is it possible that miners are relocating from China to Russia? Is it possible for Russia to step up to occupy the former place China had in Bitcoin? I guess this is what is happening, otherwise, Putin wouldn't come public with such a neutral position.
651  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We enter a new era of heavy regulations on: October 14, 2021, 02:26:10 AM
I believe that Bitcoin and general crypto indrustry enter an era of heavy regulations.

Regulations that will do near impossible for the most ppl to buy, trade or even use Bitcoin.

Today EFF have post an article about this matter

https://thedefiant.io/crypto-endangered-confronting-an-existential-threat/

https://twitter.com/EFF/status/1448023101518671873

Bitsamp already do this and ask from the most of their customers to give them every bitcoin or crypto transaction they have done the last years. Where they buy and where they get them.

Maybe this new heavy regulator era will be and a great opportunity for a growth to p2p exchanges.

Unfortunately, crypto is under the scope of Governments and regulation will soon come. Hopefully, it won't be so harsh that it may stifle industry growth and development. In a way, regulation is good as it will give the user a lot more protection but on the other hand, it will turn into absolute control for the government which was basically the opposite of what Bitcoin was created for. Thing is, the wheels are now turning for too long and have become unstoppable. It came to a point that governments see it as a "can't beat them, better join them" situation.
652  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Will miners continue to mine bitcoin after all the coins are mined ? on: October 13, 2021, 09:45:27 PM
As far as i know (and feel free to correct me if am wrong) miners currently get paid the block reward which consists of the inflationary subsidy in addition to  the sum of all transaction fees of all transactions in that block everytime they "mine" a new block and add it to the blockchain and since the bitcoin circulating supply is hard capped at 21 million coins so when this number is reached miners will no longer be getting the inflationary subsidy  after minning a new block instead they will only be getting the transaction fees.


So the question is will bitcoin minning be still profitable then ?


Note:

i did a quick google search and couldn't find data on how much bitcoin miners make from transaction fees so if anyone has a way of calculating it please share.

We cannot predict the real effects over bitcoin once the full 21M supply has been mined. The logic behind the ecosystem is that mining cannot stop. As such, once the full supply has been mined, miners will keep receiving fees. As said we cannot predict the effects of this happening; we can probably see a huge increase in fees cost or competition between miner may take them lower... who knows. Even so, Bitcoin is still underdeveloped and many things are still to come.

You can maybe find answers to your questions here
653  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What problems face Bitcoin? on: October 13, 2021, 09:15:20 PM
What problems in Bitcoin's infrastructure prevent it from being adopted more easily?

Cryptos are still quite cumbersome to use. I guess this is still one of the key issues with cryptos. Adoption will come once we figure out a way to offer a much friendly way of handling and using cryptos. Take Defi for instance; it is even more difficult for someone new to the industry to grasp. The problem with cryptos is that you still need to have a bit of knowledge to dig into how everything works and how to use it. This leaves a lot of people out as they don't want to meddle with something that they don't understand.
654  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am new to Bitcoin and have been using Coinbase only. on: October 13, 2021, 08:55:30 PM
I am new to crypto and everything I have done has been strictly through Coinbase. I don't have a key or anything like that.

Is my crypto safe?

What can I do to make it safer?

Everyone talks about keys, what exactly is a key. Where can I purchase one and how does it work.

Thanks and good luck to everyone. I am already up about 22 percent on my investment and extremely happy. I do feel that BTC will go to the moon.

Coinbase was one of the first exchanges I have used but I rapidly stepped away from it because it did not offer any trading with other currencies. This was back in 2013, Now I'm using it again. As for security, can't say it's bad but Last week reports were made saying Coinbase got hacked. As for the keys, you should always safeguard your private keys as they are the ones who will allow you to access your coins. However, this is only in case you have your coins in a personal wallet and not on an exchange. If you have your coins stored on an exchange then technically they are not yours because you do not control the private keys.

"Not your Keys, not your coins"

655  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some Interesting Facts About BITCOIN on: October 13, 2021, 06:57:54 PM
You forgot to point out that bitcoin has been proclaimed dead several times but it has survived each and every time to become stronger by each death. You could also point out the millions of satoshi's leftovers in exchanges and forgotten addresses.
656  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tools and Indicators on: October 13, 2021, 04:19:03 PM
There's a lot of techniques you can use in order to have a good trade but the most technique that I use is divergences and bigger time frame preferably 4 hours and above with RSI this kind of technique is not 100% accurate but the accuracy is good for me rather than other techniques that I used before.

You can use MACD, Stochastic RSI, Fibonacci retracement and candle stick patterns those are some good indicators too.

Yeah, I also use MACD and Stoch along with candlestick patterns, however, when it comes to Fibs, I still don't know how to use it properly. I would like to learn more about fibs and Elliot wave.  Can you recommend a good Fibonacci for crypto tutorial?
657  Economy / Trading Discussion / Tools and Indicators on: October 13, 2021, 11:24:40 AM
I use a few tools to help me with my trading. I normally keep BTC-D under the scope, while using Tradingview for the charts. I would like to hear what kind of tools and indicators you guys use to trade cryptos.

And how about trading technics. Is anyone kind enough to share?
658  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Venezuela Airport accepting Bitcoin on: October 13, 2021, 10:21:34 AM
Adoption of bitcoin will be increased more in the upcoming days and it’s great to see that Venezuela airport is accepting bitcoin. As soon as more future ETFs are got approval, we might see more good news like this one. Although few person's still spreading fuds by tagging that bitcoin is nothing or worthless. But those aren't matter to bitcoiners.

From where I stand, we may see an increase in Bitcoin adoption but the real adoption will come when Bitcoin becomes easier to use. Besides, with the kind of transactions fees we pay, bitcoin becomes unfeasible to be used as a currency. That is why I think that altcoins will have a bigger and faster adoption than bitcoin in the coming years

If Cryptos are not going to Wall Street, Wall Street will surely go to cryptos! These guys are real "wolves" and they know where the money is. Besides, when we see that "wolves" are ready to turn their back to Wall Street to start embracing cryptos, it really makes me bullish.
