Roller coaster after several up and down. stop at the bottom ... It isn't the bitcoin case.

It didn't stopped at the bottom, it's now trying to pump again. I believe that we did went through the dip and after that rolling down the trails downwards, you have to hold on as we are on the tracks of getting up again. Prepare yourselves or should I say brace yourselves as we are about to get into another ATH and we're now into a higher floor price.
Hitting on bottom is possible but now seeing on the current situation of the price movement of bitcoin we can barely say that it wont really be an easy thing to go back on cheap prices like on bottom prices.Bitcoins price is indeed like a roller coaster which i do inflates and deflates and do make changes every second why price cant really be stable but as a trader and a investor this thing is the most favorite because you can able to make money on such movements but yet would really still depend on how you do ride with the waves.
6422  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Going to sound like moron here but **** it ..... on: November 06, 2017, 09:38:02 PM
Recently bought a HP Envy Laptop, cost me over £1000. Any way I want to download Bitcoin Core on it & keep a wallet on this laptop. I noticed that the laptop uses NVIDIA Geoforce as some kind of graphic card.

I did a quick google on them as I’m ultra paranoid about where I keep my bitcoin’s, it seems they are primarily a company that designs graphic cards for gaming experiences etc but it says on wiki -

**Corporation (/ɪnˈvɪdiə/ in-VID-eeə)[3] (most commonly referred to as Nvidia, stylized as NVIDIA, nVIDIA or nvidia) is an American technology company based in Santa Clara, California. It designs graphics processing units (GPUs) for the gaming, cryptocurrency, and professional markets, as well as system on a chip units (SoCs) for the mobile computing and automotive market. Its primary GPU product line, labeled "GeForce", is in direct competition with Advanced Micro Devices' (AMD) "Radeon" products. Nvidia expanded its presence in the gaming industry with its handheld Shield Portable, Shield Tablet and Shield Android TV.**

...............................

Now, am I safe here? There isn’t going to be any risk to my bitcoin’s here? I dunno, no backdoor key loggers etc?
One of you gifted tech guys put my mind at ease please?

Thanks so much in advance.
They are just telling their introductory about on their product which is totally not alarming regarding on the privacy of your files or any other informations.If it does then all of laptop manufacturers or company do have our information if they would like to but i guess they wont do such thing.I think theres a possibility but they wont really risk the reputation of the company was being built for how many years.There would be no such thing about backdoors or keyloggers and i would say its still safe to download bitcoin core.

Now my balance is ~60 ETH, waiting price up Roll Eyes
So how much eth u have, and what comment about MEW.com? Safety wallet or not?
Thanks
Thats a decent amount of ETH you have there brother and on answering the question regarding on who use MEW then it would say there would be thousands of users or even hundreds of thousands since this wallet is commonly being used to store up on most erc20 tokens in the market.Even myself cant get used to store up my coins on other wallet other than on myetherwallet. I do like on how this wallet handles and store up your coins. As long you dont disclose your keys into other people and into public.Theres no one can access those coins.
6424  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Can we trust Telegram Signal channel..? on: November 06, 2017, 08:20:39 PM
A signal channel is, by definition, a scam.
The very idea of a signal channel is not to warn people of an external factor that might affect the price, it's just a media that is supposed to give tons of visibility to a coin at a perticular moment. It's like a huge speeding train, or a rocket: price can go up 500% and then BOOM the buble explodes (most of the time in a few minutes) and price goes even lower than at the start?

So yeah you can trust the telegram signal groups to do their job: they'll simply spread ask 5000 people to invest in the same shitty coin at the exact same time and... and that's all. So you either enter early and earn, or late and lose.


This is how these thing works which those telegram groups are being used to lure in people or investors make such believe that those trading signals are accurate that they do believe that they can able to make money when they decided to put up or risk money. Lucky for those who did enter on earlier times which if the owner or promoter would decide to dump they can able  or still make profits on that one and the people who would mostly suffer on huge loss are those people who did enter too late or on the last spots.
6425  Economy / Speculation / Re: Peak and correction coming on: November 06, 2017, 06:50:48 PM
This train shows no sign of slowing down. Already above $7100. HODL.
No sign and it can probably continue up until the hard fork ends. Why people are keep on thinking when there's a rapid increase for bitcoin's price, it's a bubble? How many times did those people who hates the pump that bitcoin is a bubble. If it is on a bubble it did popped even before reaching $2,000 but it didn't and now it's getting far and getting close to another milestone. We are expecting a correction but that's not going to stop people from investing, it's a buy back time when correction is happening.

It's going parabolic as I type. This could mean it will start slowing down and going into plateau phase. Either way if you sold at $6950 you missed out on a $300 rise. I'd have regretted selling at that point because I'd have to buy back in at a higher price. Nothing wrong with taking profits along the rise but don't think just because it went high it can't go higher. Lesson learned in Bitcoin.

Be glad you sold and took profit so you can buy back in the coming dip  Smiley

Don't be even sorry and regretting on that thing. How about me? I did sold at different levels, $1000, $2000,$3000,$4000,$5000 so looking at the price now that's a big difference on the possible profit that I may get if I wasn't able to sold some of my stash. Phunixx is right, be glad that you sold at higher price and don't be like me though I have still some hope and bitcoin on hold let's be glad that the price keeps on moving and the correction happened a while ago.
Most of us do really make such things which we did able to sell off our stash not on the exact time but i would normally say that this is a usual thing because we are just humans we cant predict the future which would lead up on making decisions and later on we do regret why we do such thing and missing out on making some good money but as you said regretting should really be not on mind as long we do sell in profits then consider it as a good move and dont stress out yourself.We do know crpytocurrencies are volatile which price is really unpredictable.
6426  Economy / Securities / Re: Large scale mining with renewable energy. Looking for partners on: November 06, 2017, 04:16:57 PM
Hello all,
I work in a renewable engineering company, which had great influence in the incorporation of clean energy in our country.
Over the last 6-7 years our country has over invested in renewable energy (wind primarily) and right now we have excess of energy which is literally being thrown away.
We currently operate some wind farms (MW order) and can buy energy from the electric utility at the spot price (most of the time at 0)
So we are currently looking forward to take advantage of the extremely low costs of energy by mining cryptocurrency, where most energy comes from fossil fuels and will greatly benefit in a renewable shift. However we don't have the knowledge for the mining part.
If anyone is interested in this project please feel free to contact me, and we can arrange a call with further information.
Thanks
As i have read you do get energy  produce by those wind mills-(correct me if im wrong) as you said the cost is almost 0 then it should be free not totally on extremely low cost because if you do said cost then theres still value at all. Would you mind on posting some picture and other proofs that would justify on what you are saying here? because if you do just tell a story you wont really get any investors because they cant still assure if this legit or just total fraud.Mining operations on nearly-free electricity cost is really profitable.
6427  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: myetherwallet is safe or not? on: November 05, 2017, 08:55:51 PM
Hello guys , I would like to ask this from more veteran people here if MEW or shall we say myetherwallet.com is safe or not..?
Some of my colleagues said that myetherwallet is not safe because there maybe some intruders with wide and depeest knowledge
When it comes to security bypass could get access of your account at myetherwallet? Please
Help me answer this if mew is safe or not.. Is this a user fault to expose their private key or there is.someone could really
Access our account .. using security bypass? Please thank you.
Myetherwallet.com is safe as long you didnt give your private keys to anyone and no one would able to bypass or bruteforce myether site even that site doesnt have the possession of our keys which means our wallets our totally safe.The thing about nothing on this world cant be bypass since only people do create them which it can be access too but talking on the hashes and probability then it would really be hard for them.
6428  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When should we buy ICO's tokens? on: November 05, 2017, 08:04:58 PM
I don't have much time to do a research, soo.. I need an advice!
ICO, that I'm interested in will start in few days. So, when should I buy it's tokens?
To be more specific 2/11 starts Confideal's iсo.
Thank you guys!
pre ICO and the first day ICO is the best day to buy the coin because its always the highest bonus
you just need to make a lot of research or make sure first that the coin is worth to invest
do not buy even there a lot of bonus until your sure enough
This is why investing on these project is risky but we should really need to risk money for us to earn money. Talking about on the best time to purchase tokens is really on pre-sale because this is the time on where coins are on big discount and as we do observe as the weeks passed by the bonus gradually lessens which means it do lessen the amounts of profits if you do late to get in but now on what i am doing i do already wait for those coins to be listed first on exchanger before i decide to buy in because most of them do really dump because of bounty hunters.
6429  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: B2X Futures on: November 05, 2017, 07:03:46 PM
No sane person is dumping Bitcoin for 2x on the 15th.

Yea, everyone will be dumping 2x for BTC. I mean that's the reason why people are buying right now and why we see such strong steady growth. It's a small bubble that most likely will pop right after the fork. There is no doubt in my mind that people will be dumping the new coin for more BTC. Even if there's a new coin offered, the name of Bitcoin itself holds so much weight nowadays, it's quite insane.
This can really already be considered as a small bubble on which anytime if theres a new fork approaches the price tends to go up and reaching out new heights.We do already see the progress on previous forks came from BCH next on BTG and now we are reaching on B2x fork which the normal thing to be done on most investor or community is to dump their b2x for the exchange of bitcoin and theres no really doubt on that because peopel would always stick to the original one and dont minding on the new fork coins.
6430  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Unsecured WiFi on: November 05, 2017, 05:51:13 PM
This is a hypothetical question. I am wondering, can my desktop wallet be hacked if I log into an unsecured WiFi hotspot even if I do not log into my bitcoin desktop wallet? I am wondering because I travel a lot, and when travelling I sometimes log into coffee shop WiFi hotspots. I don't keep a lot of funds on the desktop but I'm wondering about this.
Possible but can really be avoided as long you dont download or input any informations either on email or personal log-ins that can be used on accessing any wallet.If you are really scared then use another laptop to be sure or just use hardware or offline wallet for your bitcoins or any other altcoins to be safe from getting compromised. My friend is victimized on public wifi which he carelessly input any important informations and he was being hacked because of his card details and other related informations.
6431  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitcoin not arrived at vircurex. on: November 05, 2017, 04:01:55 PM
Hello,
I've bought 50$ worth of bitcoin one week ago and send it to my wallet in vircurex. How ever, they did not arrive yet.
The blockchain is this one:

https://blockchain.info/nl/address/1AL3FaLuczmPzMfEQgwqLow9LK8e82ZBWY

So my wallet address is: 1AL3FaLuczmPzMfEQgwqLow9LK8e82ZBWY

Where did it went wrong? Or does vircurex still has to sync my wallet?

Hopefully someone can help me?

Kind regards,

Koen van Kuijk
Seeing on this hash of your transaction 80f985857089810c2e45405725baa6f7f73c7ac0212e540d6905d58989389e88 it is already confirmed regarding on the site vircurex i havent tried their service which it is really a new thing to me.I dont know why people do make use of non reputable sites. If the deposit didnt go through then most probably the problem is on vircurex itself. Have any updates on this one? I have seen there are lots of complaints about the site.
6432  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tezos Founders Sued for Securities Fraud in Potential Class Action on: November 05, 2017, 05:58:28 AM

Most people invested in this because of a big name "Tim Draper" investing in this. I remember visiting the website and thinking that if they can't be bothered to pay $50 for a wordpress theme, that they are not worth investing in. The website looked like a joke. I'm not sure how people poured over 200 million into this con.

They deserve to be sued, and to be honest, most of the investors who threw money into this deserved to get swindled. How do you invest 200 million into a company with no product, no development plan, no business plan,  and almost no website?
This project did pass into my ears and have done some check up and research and on the thing you do said regarding on the site it is definitely true which it is already a red flag for me because if they do really have the budget and funds creating a site which isnt really good do somehow signifies their flaws which would really last if you are really a careful investor and i did really feel such thing not to invest because on those doubts and observations.Going back in the past where ive been scammed on ICO's i have learned so much on that. Those people are really worth to be sued on.
6433  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: How safe are my bitcoin on blockchain.info? on: November 04, 2017, 11:58:21 PM
Blockchain. info is a pretty old and probably the first online wallet that came into existence. They are time tested and trusted as well. I have been using their wallet since a long time now. They also have dynamic fees feature where you can choose what type of fees you want to pay for a transaction. I can recommend their service. However, if you are holding a big amount of bitcoins, it is always safer to keep in offline wallet. because you won't have any problem with blockchain. info but hackers can create an issue.
Hackers can create an issue anytime if you do disclose your information regarding on your wallet they can really breach out your wallet and take those precious bitcoins inside.Just like what you said this is one of the oldest online web wallet for bitcoin which still being used far by many.I cant say its totally secure and safe but yet reliable on storing some amounts but same as suggested when you do posses large amounts of bitcoin then the best thing to do is store up on offline wallets than on storing it on online wallets.You can use up electrum wallet too same as blockchain you can edit dynamic fees on what suits you.
6434  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Is it possible to use bitcoin like offline currency? on: November 04, 2017, 11:44:09 PM
Few days ago a friend asked me this questions. But i cannot understanding that how to i give him answer. At last i said him that, bitcoin is an online currency. Only this currency used in online marketplaces. It is not possible to use it in offline marketplace like offline currency.

But what is your best answer of this question?
When we do talk about offline currency then we would use bitcoin on physical form which isnt possible at all because we do know that we do need internet to make use of bitcoin and also its a digital currency after all and dont have any physical form that would be used on offline. If theres no internet then it cant be used for sure but yet even though it cant be used physically or offline but come to think off that there merchants that do accept bitcoin as a payment just like on having our own traditional credit or debit cards which do really give convenience.Adoption is on the move which we should really not worry too much regarding on how we gonna use it.
6435  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Do ICO's need licenses? on: November 04, 2017, 11:20:08 PM
Lately there's been a lot of talk about regulation. What about ICO's?

What do you see with the ones complying with governments? It seems to be a big play longevity wise.

For ex. Unikrn got their Malta license, making esports fiat wagering legal in most of europe. Does this pave the way for future ico's? Should this be an indicator of a good, trustworthy ico?

More info: https://www.coindesk.com/regulated-cryptocurrency-betting-just-got-big-boost-europe/

Regarding on longevity then regulation would really make some changes compared into those non regulated ones since both investors and its owners will really have the transparency since its being regulated already.If we do try to see now there are lots of Scam projects which results on ending up badly on its investors.This is why im already hesitant on making investment or putting up money.They should really be regulated to lessen the risk on losing too much money on putting up on useless things.
6436  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should I sell my airdropped tokens quickly or hold on to them? on: November 03, 2017, 09:01:32 PM
Hello,
Yesterday I saw some increase in my total estimated token value, and today it dropped significantly.
It appears that a lot of people are selling their airdropped tokens as soon as they get them.
I have not sold a single token from airdrops, and with the exception of some them, they seem to be mostly losing value in time.
Should I do the same or hodl hoping that some of them may increase in value, closing the gap I lose in the process?
Airdropped tokens are not meant to be hold for long term since they are just totally free then most people who do recieve it do immediately sell them once it is out on exchanges.In my case i do wait for a period of time because there are really times which those coins being hyped up once and then they do dump after which this would really give you one opportunity to sell on higher profits but this is only on case to case basis because most of them usually dump after people are cashing out directly. Dont hold up unless if it is a promising project and worth to be hold on.

Do you think this will affect the price of bitcoin over the next few days?
This would be nothing. Have you already seen the situation on where China did plan to ban bitcoin and do try to regulate ICO. What happened? Price did really decrease on some points but not totally the reason for it to dump. No matter how they would oppose bitcoin its success cant really be stop as of now which we are already seeing that it starts to fly again reaching out unexpectedly $7k usd in no time.
6438  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Question about Electrum wallet on: November 03, 2017, 05:51:08 PM
I am considering transfering my bitcoins from coinbase to electrum wallet. My question is, what happens if Electrum suddenly shuts down and their servers go offline? Will I be able to access my coins using another wallet or will they be lost?
Thinking off that Electrum would shut down then its nearly impossible to happen if it does then theres nothing to worry because we can anytime export our keys even on offline just like what being said above.This is what i like on electrum compared on other wallet because you do really have the power on knowing your private keys.This is why its important anytime to have back ups on your wallet so that if incase theres a possible problem you wont really worry too much because you can still able to access that address.
6439  Economy / Economics / Re: Yes or No? Doesn't Bitcoin unfairly benefit early adopters? on: November 03, 2017, 04:35:52 PM


No, it's not an unfair benefit. It's just the fruit of their being risk-taker, in fact we should thank the early adopters for it's because of them why bitcoin have been successful nowadays. Years ago who would have thought that the value will blow up as higha s its value today, so its really either skill with intelligence or pure luck.



Yes you seem to be talking fair things here and I like it when someone talk about others skills and goodness. Its such true and ignored thing that what bitcoin is achieving today is all because of peoples investment, those people who believed it blindly in the past and I just love the idea of it being early investor.


It is so charming to be first and the earliest to get at something and then have the fruits of it. So may be they deserve it and its not unfair at according to me as well.


Its not really unfair since they are just cherishing the results of the risk they take when bitcoin was just starting and those early adopters did really make the first step because bitcoin wont really spark out if there were no people who did able to engage with it on the earliest days then bitcoin wont really gain value because the start is already been messed up and now they did succeed and i would somehow consider this as a skill and knowledge with the mix of some luck which bitcoin did progress and did able to survive upto these days with having an insane value of $7k+.
6440  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do alt coin holders lose money when Bitcoin's price rises? on: November 03, 2017, 03:28:44 PM

(1) Does that mean that alt coin holders are losing money, or are the lower alt coin prices a mere adjustment in relation to the new price of Bitcoin?

Yes of course, coin holders are losing up money when altcoin price do tend to dump or decrease.Its a normal stuff.

(2) How do you determine if you are in the green or red? Do you look at the $ value of your alt coin, OR what it's worth in BTC?

When i set out my investment i do always look up for BTC conversions i dont really look on USD thing.
