6481  Economy / Speculation / Re: HODL'ers lose. That is no surprise on: October 09, 2019, 11:43:42 AM
"I told you so" comes to mind.

I warned everyone in here again and again in the beginning of 2018.

Get out of Bitcoin as fast as you can to limit your losses.

Everytime so-called "experts" and "investors" in here said to HODL. Bitcoin would soon go to the moon.

Only the most blind and stupid still believe Bitcoin will ever recover.

The sooner you get out, the smaller your loss. If you wait, you can be sure the loss will be even bigger.

Blockchain technology has a great future, but cryptocurrencies - any crypto -  are a dead end.

There is no one general rule in any given year in Cryptocurrency, what happens in 2017 is very much different in 2018 and what happened in 2018 is different from what we have this year right now, and next year is also different, but you don't have to use the word stupid or blind if investors cannot grasp the situation in any given year, there's no applicable situation every year, each year present a different perspective.

Coinexchange.io is Closing Down


So sadly it is goodbye for now however we may return in the future if market conditions change. Sad

Link: https://www.coinexchange.io/news/post/85/

Market condition really has an impact on many Cryptocurrency projects and one that badly hit is the exchanges,  if you ask me, they should have stayed, good market condition will eventually come and  there's a big possibility that it's going to happen next year in time for Bitcoin halving, if Bitcoin halving cannot give us good market condition, I wonder what it would be.
6483  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bad habits from devs with bounty rewards on: October 09, 2019, 08:04:12 AM
I want to warn bounty hunters about bounty projects that pays bounty rewards to their platform or websites instead of ETH contract address, they mostly go against their words and you have no control over the tokens even if you have your login details..
Those who promoted Cryptomarketads(CMA) and Moozicore(MZG) knows what i'm talking about, i have decide to stop promoting such projects

I thought Cryptocmarketads will be honest in dealing with their members I was wrong they even ask people in the bounty campaign about their project, it turned out they cannot be trusted at all, if even I will go back to bounty hunting I will now prefer payment direct to smart contract let us not support project that only misled bounty hunters.
6484  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WHEN ETHEREUM KEEPS DISAPPOINTING on: October 09, 2019, 07:37:20 AM
In the course of this year, ethereum has mostly not been promising due to the many disappointing times we have experienced. Sometimes, it even become very difficult to know when to hold or sell out some ethereum. All the same, many people who trust in altcoins have kept some great faith in ethereum and that is an amazing motivation that ethereum can really bounce back and be the strong force most hodlers wish for.
Why pointing only on Ethereum when all the coins suffer the same fate, are you only holding Ethereum right now that you expect to much on Ethereum, it's not Ethereum it's the whole market that suffers and Ethereum s just one of the casualties if you think that the market is still in bear trend, we are now in a better position than what we have 6 or 7 months ago, if you cannot be patient then better sell all your Eth.
6485  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Bitcoin in Bangladesh. on: October 08, 2019, 04:06:53 PM
Many people say the bitcoin system in our Bangladesh is illegal. but i think every people have wants equal rights. Angry

the only way to make it legal is for your lawmakers to create or amend a law that will make it legal, and to do this is to elect politicians that believe in the technology brought by Cryptocurrency, you should also form a group of Bitcoin believers, if you have many members, you will have a strong organizations and you can lobby to politicians about what you need.
6486  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs Traditional Payment Processors on: October 08, 2019, 03:38:56 PM
It's been a decade since Bitcoin emerged as a decentralized digital currency for the people. While it's no secret that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrrencies have some drawbacks, they're still a great alternative to Fiat when it comes to making payments without a centralized entity in charge of our funds.

With latest advancements such as DAGs, smart contracts, Layer-Two scaling solutions, Dandelion Protocol, Zero Knowledge Proofs, and more, it's becoming more evident that crypto will someday replace traditional payment processors like PayPal, Apple Pay, and Android Pay. Yet, Blockchain technology is still struggling with user adoption and regulatory compliance.

Nonetheless, do you believe that there's hope for Bitcoin to beat traditional payment processors or will those same payment processors adapt to the Blockchain in the future? Huh
They can co-exist, merchants cater to all walks of people, there will always people who will prefer a credit card and paypal even though they have Bitcoin to pay, some buyers are not comfortable buying something online that they cannot demand a chargeback in case there is an in issue and they want to escalate it, something that Cryptocurrency can't offer, it's better all options are available to protect the buyers.
6487  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is this a scam? What to do next. on: October 08, 2019, 01:47:24 PM
So okay, this story didn't happen to me. It happened to a friend (let's call him Bob) of a friend (I will call him Sam).

Bob came to me asking is this a scam and is it legal. Bob doesn't know much about bitcoins and crypto, Sam even less.
Sam somehow got in contact with people who offers to open an account and invest into crypto. These people guaranteed a lot of profit. Sam paid 500 EUR at first and other two times a 2000 EUR.
What is interesting, that these people calling him to invest more. But he has an app (I don't know what app, because I heard it from Bob and he doesn't know either) which shows that Sam has doubled his investment (9000 EUR), but he cannot withdraw it now and these people (from Russia) are calling and rushing him to invest even more.

Bob asked me about that, I said that this is some nonsense. There shouldn't be people calling you and asking to transfer money. All is too fishy.

What should Sam do? Will the police help?

You don't even have to think twice to think that's it's a scam, it is a scam you should call the police and your lawyer, and if these people cannot present documents to prove their claim and they do not have a certificate that they can do this kind of business, then they should be prosecuted,
but based on your story those people come from Russia, this is unfortunate, no way to get them liable unless your friend can go to Russia, this is a costly lesson for him.
6488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who are are your bet for this year's boxing fight of the year on: October 08, 2019, 12:45:28 PM
Thurman Pacquiao could be the fight of the year for me. A lot of Filipino are always waiting for the fight of Pacquiao yo support him. Let's see if Thurman can make Pacquiao retire. I think Pacquiao is already old for boxing and needs to retire soon. But Thurman and Pacquiao fight of the year.

You are the only guy who says that I don't believe that you really saw the fight I encourage you to do it it's always on Youtube  and I  also encourage you to watch the commentators analysis, they will tell you why Pacquiao is the most unique fighters in our generation, there will never be an 8 times division champion only Pacquiao it and if anyone tries to do it, he will have to start in the flyweight division like what Pacquiao has done.
6489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think Voodoo works in Gambling Games? on: October 08, 2019, 12:27:35 PM
I have always heard of people who win games with voodoo(charms/certain spiritual power).I know Voodoo is everywhere. They are said to use it to get accuracy in their predictions, permutation, casinos, throwing of dice etc while this will help to reduce to the bearest minimum their risks of loosing.
So, Do you also think this is true?

A gambler will do everything to win even to the extent in believing in such thing, some gamblers have their own lucky charms and things that they carry every time they gamble, they even have their own gambling prayers and rituals, but as long as they are not losing all their money and they keep winning, but in my opinion I do not believe in such thing because it's gambling and luck has a huge part in every game.
6490  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs. Donaire WBSS Bantamweight Final on: October 08, 2019, 11:53:49 AM
With less than a month before Nonito Donaire fight the "monster" Inoue, the latter remains the heavy favorite and the money is pouring on his favor.

 Inoue = 1.04,  Donaire = 8.20

^^ is the odds on Sportsbet. This look very temping to Filipino fight fans out there as they knew the "Filipino Flash" capability. He maybe old but it only take a punch to turn around a fight.

Well, that's right, filipino fans will always bet on Donaire no matter what the odds is, in this one where fans will get 7 times of their money, they will surely take this odds. However, the filipino betters although they are big in volume but they don't bet that much, that's why the line barely move.

There's no alternative odds so far, hopefully there will more odds to choose from like Donaire winning via knockout, round 1, 2, and etc...
We know Donaire have some struggle in his carrier but he can use that experience in this fight, and it could be just our own belief as the bookmakers really think it's an easy win for Inoue.. me, I would just bet for fun, I won't bother researching and analyzing this game as I'm rooting for the heavy dog.

This is probably the biggest test for Donaire if he still has it, he is up against a very strong and hungry fighter, of course, we cannot compare him to Many Pacquiao they are two different fighters, I'm rooting for Donaire, he has the experience and I believe his left hook still packs a power, but if he loses it's time for him to hang his globes.
6491  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Listing an Exchange on Coinmarketcap on: October 08, 2019, 05:03:20 AM
IMHO they are looking on trading volumes and rare tokens that you trade. As I remember coin will add on CMC after 50000 USD day trading volume.

It's good that they have implemented this so pump and dump coins cannot get in easily, in the past, there are a lot of scam coins that have got in easily, that is the reason some of them are zero volume on Coinmarketcap, now that they are strict we can only sure that only the best coin can only get in their list, $50000 is such a huge amount and only legit coins can get that volume.
6492  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Why exchanges most interested to launch IEO? on: October 08, 2019, 12:18:11 AM
IEO answer everything that the investors want in crowdfunding, safe secure stable and profitable something that the ICO loss, after 2017 ICO lost it's reputation because it was infiltrated by scam projects, but IEO can only be successful in a highly reputable exchange, investors will have second thought participating in a second grade exchange, there is risk attached to it, as these second or third exchanges are just fly by night exchange waiting to run anytime.
6493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who are are your bet for this year's boxing fight of the year on: October 07, 2019, 11:20:53 PM
With many good fights this year which for me is worthy for the fight of the year like the Joshua vs Ruiz, Spence vs Porter but my bet for this year would be the fight between Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman. Youth vs Experience and a fitting tribute to our country's pride Manny Pacquiao.

What bookies offer that kind of bets OP?

All the fight that is going to happen before the end of the year has the potential to become the fight of the year, it doesn't necessary those that involve big-name Golovkin opponent is not a big name but it could become a fight of the year, so far with big potentials are the Kovalev - Alvarez and the much-awaited  Joshua- Ruiz match, we can decide this after te Joshua - Ruiz match.
If Ruiz could make another trip again, I have to raise my hands over him but if not, I'll raise it into the other name. If we closely take a look at them( as listed above) they are really to be considered as a fight of the year. It maybe we shouldn't just take a look of their winning trick records but of how the fight in general cause we just base into record holder, it is absolutely awarded to Manny and Thurman fight.
I agree with you right now it's still Thurman Pacquiao and the two fight left the Canelo Kovalev and Joshua- Ruiz fights, I hope these two fights will live up to the people's expectation we want a good candidate for a good fight and maybe another thread with a poll on who is the fight of the year this year, we don't want the Thurman - Pacquiao to the runaway winner , but so far it is.
6494  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: bounty hunters and Exchanges. on: October 07, 2019, 05:03:10 PM
As a Hunter, how many exchange accounts are you expected to have. i have accounts in over 10 exchanges. it is appalling but i have not choice because i have to sell or convert my new earn tokens to an affordable cryptocurrency. is there any limits to the number of exchanges we should join as a bounty hunter?
i believed that more exchanges will still appear in the future.
what is your opinion towards owning a multiple exchange for trading.

I do not know how many exchanges I have but on every coin that I want to trade and a new exchange is presented to me I have no choice but to sign up so I can trade my coins, they only differ from KYC, bounty hunters and investors with so many coins they are holding has account to many exchanges, but if the exchange is unknown and lowly exchange,  I will wait for a big exchange.

OP did not bother to go back here and answer some of the questions, there was no follow up when the accusations are serious but why know it's been three years and remember that Bitcoin is very huge when it hit the all-time high, people doing accusations to a group or individuals and posting it online should further elaborate and come back on his thread ifhe is that serious.
6496  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: BW.com - serious warning!! on: October 07, 2019, 02:37:41 PM
Dear friends,

BW.com are total scammers. Their support for 2 weeks every day repeats the same answers to be patient and that the matter is in solving. I have lost my XRP and VLX. Please beware of that exchcange. They are Chinese and basically do not care of the customers and nothing can be done!


Pass the info around and warn others.
This is the first time I read about this exchange, checking further I think they are based in Japan based on their traffic ranking I'm also suprised that they have a very high traffic flow, in fact, they have better traffic ranking than Bitcointalk

https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bw.com#trafficstats
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bitcointalk.org#trafficstats

They also have a good volume upon checking in Coinmarketcap https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bw-com/
You should create your complaint in the scam section to make it a valid complain.

Bitcoin price slipped to $ 7,800
Many experts have foresaw Bitcoin's downturn as all eyes are on Golden Week * in China. However, when the Chinese return to the cryptocurrency market this week, will they decide to buy at the current bottom? Or will they continue to stand out of the game to watch the support break down?

(* Golden Week is a policy applied in China since 1999 for two important holidays: Chinese New Year and National Day (October 1). Before 2007, Chinese people also had a "Golden Week". "Tuesday is International Labor Day May 1.)
If you are interested in cryptocurrency exchanges, you can refer to: https://vakaxa.com/vi/phat-trien-san-giao-dich-tien-dien-tu/

bitcoin-today-today-about-7800-usd [1]
Overview of Bitcoin price and cryptocurrency market today (October 7).
With Bitcoin's daily price chart, the usual price range is $ 7,600 to $ 9,500. When Bitcoin is put into the sideway, the buying and selling forces will fall into equilibrium. At the same time, the market is about to have big fluctuations. Therefore, Bitcoin is best to keep a stable support level of $ 7,120 to gain momentum in the near future. If not, the market could witness a new plunge.
You can read can track Bitcoin price today right below:

Bitcoin (BTC)

$ 7,923.84 (-2.57%)
Rank

first
MCap

$ 142.45 B
Volume

$ 13.39 B

It's shifting from $7900 to $8100 I don't think it will go down to the $7000 like what one post predicted, we are  just over three months to go in 2019 and there's not much improvement on the price, quite surprising to think that Bitcoin halving is just next year, it's still bearish like what happen last year, I wonder what will happen if this same situation persists in the first quarter of the year.
We really have different scenario every year.
6498  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can crypto Insurance be a next big thing? on: October 07, 2019, 12:37:34 PM
It's difficult to insure an asset that isn't really real in terms of actually being able to see it or feel it. I think this is the problem with crypto and what people perceive of it. If they cant see it, they won't trust it. My opinion anyway. I am all for it, but this is how I think other people would perceive it.
What do you mean they can't see it, we all can see it, we can see the transaction hash the funds and the balance, even if it is online it still has an entity, but I agree there should be guidelines when it comes to insuring a Cryptocurrency or a third party insurer besides being insured by the exchange, but if I am a company I have to check my option if I can really ensure that large amount somethings hackers are hacking millions of dollars
6499  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Bitcoin Cafe on: October 07, 2019, 12:05:59 PM
In Bangladesh, people are not allowed to use bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Govt has declared it illegal. The great news is our current Finance Ministry is thinking over it and we will probably be seen Bitcoin legal in the coming years.
In Dhanmondi, there's a cafe namely "The Bitcoin Cafe". Although they don't accept bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, I see it as a great way of promotion, people will learn more about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. I have visited this cafe 2 times and asked to pay with Bitcoin but he wasn't agreed.


That "The Bitcoin Cafe" is not really honest,  if they are going to use Bitcoin in their establishment then they might as well, use Bitcoin the Bangladesh people should now choose people that are lenient to Bitcoin, to elect in the highest position, the more people they elected that are lenient to Cryptocurrency, the better, this is the only way that Bitcoin will have a future in Bangladesh

Cryptocurrency companies are doing this and many more will follow because they want people to get the awareness of their company, this is the psychology of advertising, the many times' people will see the ads the many times  they will get familiar and recall of the commercial, this is the reason why we see commercial over and over again, and companies are spending millions to spend on these ads for people to see many times.
