is this your company that youre talking about?

why are you using wordpress considering that you are in a telecom industry and been in the industry for about 3 years already? do you have active customers in this business? the website itself is not professionally done one, in my opinion.
6542  Economy / Economics / Re: JPMorgan - bitcoin may find an additional demand of $600B on: December 16, 2020, 08:50:21 PM
You should remember what happened to Bitcoin last time when Goldman Sachs made comment like that... then everyone also was so happy and crazy buying BTC, while GS was selling all BTC for their clients via own subsidiary in Sweden Wink

You better learn the lesson about the intentions and the real actions behind such comments (and especially by such people). They are not stupid to say something good to raise the market price, and then buy for themselves at ATHs.

Yes, they say that for some purpose. Right now the market is going crazy again with a price of 20,000 USD. After the increase in the price of bitcoins in the market, they may sell their bitcoins so much that the price falls again. Then they buy back at a cheap price. Isn't it very easy to fry prices like that for those well-known companies and those who feel the impact are new buyers, and buyers of coins like me. Be wise in your attitude on every issue that develops, the market may fry hot issues but they turn out to be zonk.

just be vigilant in the market esp if you have money on the line. dont believe all the things that you are reading or speculation from "well-known" personalities. be alert of what may or may not happen. if you do want to secure your portfolio, you can sell some of it, and you know for sure, you are already making profit. greed is the common cause of our losses here. so better come up with a decision that you will not regret afterwards.
we will see huge numbers in play here, but the question is, will that really happen? so in either scenario, you should have your own strategies ready to implement with.
6543  Economy / Economics / Re: Fake COVID-19 vaccines....by Paying in Bitcoins on: December 15, 2020, 10:37:19 PM
At the end of the day, unless you are buying from a reputable medical institution then it is unlikely you will be able to get a real coronavirus vaccine and someone might be injecting you with any old rubbish. I don't know of any medical institutions that accept Bitcoin so you might as well give up on the idea and just wait in line to be notified by a government agency for when it is your turn. Stay safe, keep washing your hands regularly and wear a mask in any public indoor locations to lower your chance of catching it.

pretty simple decision here. to avoid these fake sellers, just deal with authorised institutions only. you are already paying a hefty amount, why not approach legit medical institutions that are providing this vaccine? also, just convert your btc to your local fiat if they are not accepting crypto. wont be that hard. dont look for something that is not there.


Exactly.  If someone is trying to sell you a vaccine for bitcoin, run-don't-walk in the other direction.  It is mind-numbingly easy to discern the difference from between a real vaccine distribution point and a scam one.  Your doctor - real vaccine.  Any place your doctor directs you to for the vaccine - real vaccine.  Eventually, CVS and Walgreens and other pharmacies will have the vaccine.  However, clicking on any ad on the internet about the vaccine - likely fake.  Any place that requires you to pay for the vaccine in cash or bitcoin - definitely fake.

This isn't rocket science.

dont understand why people will go to these online scammers rather than deal with real doctors?
6544  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP Price to $14 - Any thoughts? on: December 15, 2020, 09:39:05 PM
My target is still $ 5 for XRP, because $ 14 for me is still too high to reach in the next 2-3 years,
maybe when the Bitcoin price becomes $ 100k, my XRP is sure to go to $ 14, and the question is when it will happen. Huh Huh
^ looks like it will never happen. XRP to $ 14 is "mission impossible", if want to make XRP to $ 14 then the price of Bitcoin must be 10x the current price, can't be sure that XRP will last until Bitcoin is at 10x the current price.

just be realistic with xrp scenario here. i thought $1 is on the horizon just before the spark airdrop but didnt happen, instead of going up right before the airdrop, it goes down. and now, btc is rising and xrp is declining. what's happening here? a lot of xrp holders are selling their stash because for long time xrp had about 20 cents in value? so if they are selling now, even if the value is slowly declining, they are still on the positive side, right?
so $5 here will be a long way journey for xrp, much more with $14. it is possible but we dont know when. maybe xrp team should do their buyback every quarter???
6545  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think that the price of bitcoin is going to exceed 20,000$? on: December 15, 2020, 08:58:33 PM
At this very moment, everyone is discussing how the price of bitcoin is going to exceed 20,000$ within this month. But by analysing both current and previous situations, my personal opinion is it's not possible for now. What is your thinking regarding this situation?

Is your opinion based on anything at all?

Because you say that you have allegedly done an analysis but have not shared with us any of the analysis you do.

My opinion is that I don't know if the bitcoin will be over $20,000 tomorrow or in a month's time but in 5 years, let's say, it will be much higher than that.

You would really able to expect these kind of words from someone who are in this market neither they would show up some analysis and some do just speak out
due to their expectation and with their own views.If he do see that it wont able to break or reach out 20k then let him be and for sure he would really be
taking those words back when he looked that btc did able to break its previous ATH.The time is definite thats why its hard to predict on when it would
happen but since adoption is on the move then we can anticipate that we will really be heading there.

and take note that most predictions or speculations even if they have back up charts or analysis cant be followed as btc market is very unpredictable. it can change within few minutes or hours, depending on the market. so even if he analysed that 20k is not possible to happen, just take it as another speculation of one user. dont hold onto his opinion. anyway, everyone is free to express his opinion, right?
6546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Increasing Bitcoin Ads : Mass adoption ongoing on: December 14, 2020, 10:07:30 PM
Yes! Corporates are seeing a tremendous opportunity in bitcoin which has resulted millions of dollars flooding into this market since last few months! Also a lot of dormant accounts have suddenly started showing activities, all due to the current bull run which is showing a strong sign support at 18.5k+ regime. Overall,  the situation is pretty positive!

No wonder the exchanges are ramping up to serve these increasing load of customers to get a bigger market share which we can see in the increased number of advertising. At least one industry is doing extremely well even in this pandemic situation.

Agree, there is lot of traction coming up from Financial institutions as well
(even if probably mostly buying bulk OTC or via market makers).

Though it feels like there is institutional + retail traction together.
ATH Resistance should end up breaking through eventually.

no matter what, i believe we will break that ATH at some point and seems it will be sooner. mass adoption this year is really amazing as we've seen several of these financial institutions boldly buying BTCs. and if more companies will follow the move of paypal, the adoption will indeed grow strong in the coming years. but hopefully, the crypto system will be different than how paypal is doing it.

and if you browse related articles on this such as -

https://spendmenot.com/blog/blockchain-adoption/
https://blog.chainalysis.com/reports/2020-global-cryptocurrency-adoption-index-2020

we are seeing that crypto is indeed going global in terms of adoption and a lot of companies are considering blockchain tech as the next big thing.
6547  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to get VIP Signals? on: December 14, 2020, 09:27:44 PM
As far as I know, If Somebody want Trade with VIP Signal, then need Paid membership from VIP signal Group. It Maybe telegram group or others social media platform.  Becouse without any paid Membership you cant get any type Crypto Signal.               
And that paid membership is a scam always. It is so simple to set up such a group and say that you are giving signals and other bullshit because there is no way for the member of verify the claim. Like a blind dog, they will follow the signals and buy/sell some shitcoin while the owners of the group use this to dump/buy some coins. Most of the times these things go in opposite so the owners actually make a lot of money by such manipulated pump and dumps or just plain selling memberships to bamboozled noobs for man-made "signals"

If you dont believe me, you dont have to, try it yourself and see what is true. They always have their defense that trading is extremely risky and you may lose - but of course they will tempt you with 100x profits or something to make sure you buy their koolaid. Wink
Exactly, it is incredible how they can get out of almost any problem by just saying a few things and people believe it even after losing a lot of money, and the worst part is that it is not uncommon at all, in fact one time I had a user on the Internet telling me about this great investor, obviously I did not care but out of curiosity I asked him how much he had won for him to vouch that strongly for him and he told me he had lost half his capital in a single trade but that somehow it was not his fault, at that point I told him he was scammed and he did not believe me and only did so after having another massive loss but by that time it was too late.

lesson learned with high price tag! tbh, better learn your own trading and start from scratch than chase these VIP signal groups. they will just screw your money and will give false hopes. and yes, before you realised it, already too late as you already lost your money.
but if you do your own trading slowly and surely, the experience/skills/tips/tricks that you will acquire will be with you forever. and no one can grab that knowledge from you. those will be your weapon in trading. and the longer you are into this picture, the better you will become. so why not enrich yourself rather than giving your riches to others?
6548  Other / Off-topic / Re: Fury vs Joshua --- who will win? on: December 14, 2020, 08:43:33 PM
They both have the power as they are good contender in heavy weight division but with regards on whom I think will win this match or has an advantage. I have voted to Fury because he has an advantage in terms of experienced and he is a wiser fighter compare to Joshua.

Fury has a perfect record because of his fighting style but everything can happen in the ring so I am sure that this will be a good fight if it will likely to happen knowing that Joshua will surely do his best in order to beat Fury and protect his titles.

im also on Fury on this one. and if this fight will push thru, promoters as well as these boxers will get their good payday. both boxers have their own large following. interesting what will be the odds from the bookies here? if they are both strong contender, are we going to see a very close odds here?
6549  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC next target 😉 on: December 13, 2020, 11:11:25 PM
I think Bitcoin is really bullish, you can see that the price of Bitcoin has started to return to the price of $ 19,000.
And the increase in Bitcoin is likely until the end of 2021, so Bitcoin holding must be done. I also agree that mass
adoption has already started, as more and more big institutions are starting to accept Bitcoin. Based on my prediction,
Bitcoin's next target is $ 25,000. Hopefully this target can be achieved by 2021.   

the bullish market of btc is real and founded. unlike in the previous years, the use case of crypto or btc is now being realised not only by these institutional investors but even those noncrypto individuals. this pandemic period gave ample time for these individuals to take a close look into crypto. i guess, a lot of people are now considering crypto or btc to be a viable option as another payment method. and that maybe the reason why paypal made a move to finally integrate crypto in their ecosystem. and in this regard, we are now seeing more and more big companies following the trail. so yeah, what btc have done this year is quite impressive. so in the next coming years, we may see the price increase slowly.
6550  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Defend the bitcoin network to the death on: December 13, 2020, 09:20:22 PM
I believe we should have a discussion on why it's so important to defend the bitcoin network to the death.

(metaphorically speaking, we don't have to sacrifice any life.)

I don't think we need to exaggerate things here, bitcoin's network has been running a unprecedented 99% uptime if I'm not mistaken for the last 10 years or so. Meaning there are really people without getting incentives to keep the network secure.

And nodes will keep growing regardless, it is decentralised and this is one of bitcoin's strength and everyone knows this since the beginning. And it is not that it is going down a bit, so defend it to death is such a exaggeration.

i dont know where the OP got the idea of his statement. but yeah, theres no need to defend or anything because there's nothing to defend for in the first place. we can say that the btc network is relatively secure as there are people who are into this even without the request of the community.
or maybe the op meant defend the existence of btc to other nonbelievers? anyway, we cant push other people to believe in crypto or btc in particular, you can educate them but it is still up to them how they will use crypto in their lives. dont expect that they will embrace at the first time they will hear it. but only a matter of time before they realized whats their missing...

i saw that you are listed in erex. that exchange has no trading volume. i understand they have free listing however, there will be very minimal to no trading activity in that exchange. theyve been for quite a while already but seemed they havent attracted traders on their platform.
if you want to explore other opportunities, you do need to raise some funds. maybe focus on your developments first before jumping to another exchange listing.

6553  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will mainstream users care about the difference? on: December 12, 2020, 09:20:14 PM
They won't care about the difference, but what exactly will be the difference between this centralized crypto and fiat money?

Now people have a choice to use centralized fiat money for payments or Bitcoin and Bitcoin is functioning well, with its value growing every year.

Will the introduction of a new centralized crypto be in any way a danger to Bitcoin when there already are centralized and fast cryptocurrencies like XRP that nobody uses?

i dont think centralised crypto will pose as a danger to bitcoin. most people wont care if they are using a centralised or not, as long as they are convenient to use, like they can use it anywhere at any time they want to. btc already has the strong ground built in the crypto market. and people just need to uncover its difference between using btc and the centralized one. once they learned the benefits of using btc vs the centralised coin, i guess they will use both accordingly. and if i may correct, XRP has been used by many shops already, not that nobody uses it [ https://cryptwerk.com/pay-with/xrp/ ]. also, recently it is gaining popularity to be used as transfer purposes like doge because of its economical fee and relatively fast transaction.
6554  Economy / Economics / Re: Cause of Covid Vaccine and it's Value on: December 12, 2020, 06:54:43 PM
Even if it is fully ready, I won't take them for sure. In my country, we have already started vaccine trial. During the very first phase, patients had mental issues not being able to work on a full capacity. Later, it caused some other issues. Government has decided to provide vaccine to healthcare workers first and then social security like police. However, if you are not affected and as long as can be cured, you don't have absolute necessity of taking dose. We never know the consequences. Besides, we will have vaccine available for use for very cheap price. Even, we can get them free here as most of the vaccine are free which we have taken from our childhood including Polio, Hepatitis B, Rotavirus, BCG, OPV and such 10 more.

right now, i believe the study regarding after effects is not yet sufficient. as many of these pharma companies are rushing their clinical trials to get approved, i wont be surprised if some of them have their cover up regarding the actual effect of this vaccine to the overall mental or health aspect of the person. of course, we will see the immediate effect but how about the long-term impact to the person? it is yet to be seen.
getting vaccine should be the choice of the person and not compulsory. it is your body, so you have the right not to accept the vaccine. but you should know the possible consequences.
6555  Economy / Economics / Re: Why bank need cheap loan as low as 0% to make profit?? on: December 11, 2020, 09:21:17 PM
As I understand and if I am not mistaken OP's concern is that the private banks can get a loan from the central bank at a 0% interest rate while these banks would give 6-10% interest rate to their borrowers which refer to the small to medium enterprises, which in a glance could be really considered as a stratagem.

However private banks are business too that aside from the taxes they are paying to the government there are other expenses that they need to compensate for to keep their business running. Though 6-10% is quite high I am pretty sure that they are only meeting the government requirements I guess.

thats what i understand also from the OP, he's wondering why these small banks can charge about 6-10% interest, whereas, they got it at 0%. anyway, there's more than meets the eyes here. of course, at a glance, it seemed that these banks are screwing the individuals with high percentage of interest rate.
but as you said, they are just within the regulations of the Central Bank itself. because they will not operate outside its limitations. these banks have a lot of expenditures as well so they cant give to its borrowers the same interest as what they got it from. aside from the fact that they really do need to make profit, because it is business!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5299033.0


Thanks for this head up, I do not understand what is wrong with soem of these lazy developers, you need people's money you can't show to them you indeed understand your own idea by putting it down in your own words. I just look at the website, if the price of the tokens is $4, if they get listed on those exchanges on their website, the value will dump to $0.4 in a matter of month.

good job rikafip! what caught my attention is being the first AI marketplace and their price at $4/token, which is quite expensive! i thought this one is a promising project up until i saw that they just copied someone else's wp.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
now, if the xeniumx team is sincere in moving forward, they will give official statement regarding this allegation. but wonder what will be their scapegoat here?
their coin was launched last May this year as mentioned in one of the team member's profile. whereas their admin director, mandine smyth stated to be working in xeniumx since last year? now, there's something not tallying the timeline here? didnt investigate if their linkedin profiles are legit or not. but seems some of them are not.

6557  Economy / Speculation / Re: Three weeks to the year end - what will be the high? on: December 11, 2020, 07:30:23 PM
I really don't know at this point, it looks like the price goes up an down constantly and I don't know what this last 3 weeks will entail, I do not really know because we have seen all time high recently, it was over $19.6k and it broke the record, but looking at what it is right now I can't say the same about right now, it is under $18k once again and that means the price is going down.

Now what we need to realize is that, will bitcoin go up like it did just ten days or whatever ago? Or will it go down more like it did few days ago? Which one is our direction? Which one will it do for a long time? We really don't know and I can't really say which one will happen. That is why I do not trust anyone that says they know which direction bitcoin will go neither.

predicting btc market is really hard as you have no idea what major factors are in play to influence the btc market. as it is a combination of various factors, what we can do is be attentive with the market, and open your eyes with news and updates that may affect its price.
if you are waiting for good timing to sell your btc, you really need to closely monitor the happenings in the market. and decide what price level are you going to sell that out.

In social networks, as well as in telegram, work is being actively carried out to disseminate HEX information, in addition, there are quite a few groups that are supposedly official and work only to attract as much attention as possible. Although in fact they are engaged in spam. But no one really provides information on the prospects. Most likely all hello to the next HYIP.

they are active in promotion but what exactly is the HEX business that do you think they can keep up with this pump? if you will check, there are so many reddit posts accusing hex as most notorious scam, a ponzi scheme. and so on and so forth.
if you are an investor, i guess you should do your own digging on this project. dont just look for the potential thousand times profit, if you have the time and serious shelling out money on this, try to understand its business model and why they can sustain their business.
6559  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what do you think about USDT? on: December 10, 2020, 09:09:45 PM
There are rumors and accusations around Tether and its team that USDT has much less dollars than stated, meaning it essentially creates empty coins!

Precisely because the company operates on General rights and rules, there are already guarantees that the government will keep everything under control and will not allow investors to be deceived.  Roll Eyes

yeah, i remember that last year. they admitted that they were not fully backed by US$ - https://www.newsbtc.com/news/crypto-community-reacts-to-tether-admitting-usdt-not-fully-backed/.
now, in the current scenario, how do we know that they are now claiming the absolute truth about their assets?
are we going to see another confession few months or years from now that they really don't own the assets that they should have? so imo, if youre a holder of USDT, dont let it sit in your wallet for long time. better look for other top alts that you know will not lie about their very basis of foundation.

Actually, DeFi's goal is good by providing freedom, low transaction fees, providing better privacy, immutable and easy transactions.
Therefore, DeFi projects are in high demand immediately and there is hype this year, because DeFi provides something that CEFI
cannot give to investors. But unfortunately many scammers are taking advantage of DeFi's popularity to commit fraud. So now a lot of
DeFi has sprung up that don't have a clear purpose, so always do your research before choosing to invest in DeFi projects.

exactly! the goal of defi is great but it is now shrouded with too much hype and scammers. look at some of the authentic defi projects like chainlink or aave. they have actual developments going on. and we know that they are building this platform according to their mission.
very soon, we will know which ones will survive in this hype. because about 90% of them will go down the drain because their respective "devs" will abandon them once they got their money.
