6641  Economy / Economics / Re: What exactly needed from Crypto Currencies to Drive Positive Economics! on: October 23, 2018, 12:26:20 PM
Cryptocurrencies can't drive positive economic results,because they are just money.
The economy growth is driven by new technologies,adding more resources into the manifacturing industries and optmising the infrastructure.The blockchain might help for economic growth,but the best way to implement it inside our economy is yet to be discovered.
6642  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is trading stressful for you? on: October 23, 2018, 12:21:25 PM
Every type of work is stressful.Trading is just work.When you run your own business and invest your own money,it's even more stessful,compared with having a "9 to 5" job,because the risk is way higher.
Stress is actually something good.It can help you optimise your performance and keep you in good shape.

We will return back to the middle ages for a few weeks. Grin
The risk of some extreme solar storm to appear is extrmely low,so why do you bother?
I guess you are watching way too much National Geographic.
6644  Economy / Speculation / Re: What rate is crypto market cap adding alts? on: October 23, 2018, 05:33:31 AM
I would like to know the rate of cmc is adding alts and the cap of those alts.

its up to 2112 now, and was 2000 not so long ago, I feel this is distorting market cap,  as a very long tail is developing.

Coinmarketcap admin won't reveal this info,because 99% of the altcoins are just a bubble full of thin air. Angry
The market caps doesn't matter anymore.The only important thing for the shitcoin devs is to pay 2-3 crypto exchanges to list their shitcoin and create some fake reputation,that thier shitcoin is "legit".
6645  Economy / Economics / Re: Four Global Banks Involved In Yet Another Money Laundering Scheme on: October 23, 2018, 05:27:50 AM
Cryptocurrencies are used for money laundering,but the scale is 100 times smaller.
The strange thing is that nobody is pissed off, because of that big money laundering scheme.People think that this is something normal for the "too big to fail" banks.If some crypto exchange gets caught in money laundering,all the mainstream media will start crying about how "evil" cryptocurrencies are. Grin
6646  Economy / Speculation / Re: Guess when the next bull market will start! on: October 21, 2018, 04:58:14 AM
Why so many people are excited about Bakkt?It's a centralized project that will create "bitcoin tokens" backed by bitcoins.It's kinda similar to Tether,but with bitcoins,instead of US dollars.Such projects are doomed to fail.
My guess for a big bull run is the end of 2019 or maybe 2020,after the halving.
6647  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Better Understanding of Bitcoin Maximalists Needed on: October 21, 2018, 04:50:47 AM
If you take the position that "all altcoins are scams" then you're probably a Bitcoin maximalist. It's basically just a term used by altcoiners to describe people like that.

Wow,I realise that I AM a bitcoin maximalist. Grin
And all altcoins are indeed scams(the altcoins that aren't scams are useless,they are used only for pump&dump).We need more bitcoin maximalists in the crypto world.This is the only way for bitcoin to start growing again.Make bitcoin great again!
6648  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you agree with this list about the Top 10 blockchain pioneers? on: October 20, 2018, 12:05:07 PM
Why do we have to agree or disagree with a top 10 list?
Those people (or some of them) have huge contribution for the crypto world.Some of them made it just for the money,other wanted to change the world,but they have created something revolutionary.
They are going just fine,with or without our appreciation(well,I don't know about Satoshi).
6649  Economy / Speculation / Re: Positives in Speculation. on: October 20, 2018, 05:33:18 AM
Last days / Week I found a lot of positive news. I believe the trust is cryptos is increasing again.

https://ethereumworldnews.com/panteras-krug-the-next-crypto-bull-run-will-bring-a-1000-gain-and-hit-2-trillion-in-market-cap/


ICO Regulations worldwide:

also what is interesting is; CMC added over 100 new coins over the last month.

a nice new source of news, check out this amazing tool: https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com

You have to distinquish the real positive news from the clickbait-fake-news-paid-ad-propaganda.
The only positive thing about crypto speculations,is that it looks kinda like daydreaming.You leave the real world and you stay in a comfortable fantasy,where the bitcoin price 100K USD and you are rich. Grin
6650  Economy / Economics / Re: Universal Basic Income Is Silicon Valley’s Latest Scam on: October 20, 2018, 05:28:52 AM
Universal Basic Income is absolutely deserved and will be a positive for the total economy.

-GPS, Internet, Cell Phones, Computers were all created by the government (NASA and Military) but all the profits from the eventual technologies has gone to private shareholders.  These original inventions were funded by the taxpayer

-Society benefits as a whole from all the geniuses that are stuck in terrible jobs because they need to eat and pay rent.  They can focus their time on creating.

-The crime rate will drastically be reduced.  Most crime is a result of poverty.  Introduce UBI and it will be a safer place for everyone

-UBI will get people out of abusive relationships.  A lot of people are staying with others because they rely on them financially but they also get abused verbally and physically.


With that being said there hasn't been any real experiments on UBI.  The "trials" that have been done haven't been paid a lot or haven't been permanent.  People want to see it fail so they do their best to sabotage it.


I agree with the benefits you mentioned,but who is going to pay for the universal basic income?
The big corporations and the rich people are going to run away to some low tax offshore country.
There's no perfect system that redistributes wealth in a fair way.The tax system doesn't work.
6651  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: OVER 100,000 ATMS NOW LET YOU BUY BITCOIN WITH A DEBIT CARD IN THE U.S on: October 20, 2018, 05:24:16 AM
100,000 bitcoin ATMs?And how much does each ATM cost?
I assume that it costs around 5000 USD or more.Do you believe that come company (or companies) will invest half a billion dollars to manifacture and deploy bitcoin ATMs across the USA?
This is a very risky investment.
6652  Economy / Gambling / Re: Lordmancer II - an MMORPG where you can earn crypto on: October 19, 2018, 12:27:49 PM
How many players are actively playing this game?
I'm asking because the liquidity on the game item market depends of the amount of players.
It would be quite annoying to wait for a few weeks,every time you want to sell something on the market. Grin
6653  Economy / Services / Re: Smart contracts,web sites,audit,forks on: October 19, 2018, 12:23:44 PM
If you have questions, ask

Would you please move this to Services?  Smiley

The control to move is at the lower left.

Why?

Because this is not a project.You are just offering your services as a developer.
6654  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wallet safety? on: October 19, 2018, 12:19:12 PM
Yes,it's safe as long as you use strong passwords and keep your private keys.
You can change your current OS to Linux and download the Sandboxie software or a decent malware scanner program,like Malwarebytes.
6655  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Anyone already tried Guarda Chrome extension? on: October 19, 2018, 06:20:41 AM
I've never used Chrome and I remember recently that there was some security issue with Chrome browsers and extensions.I believe that crypto related Chrome extensions are very risky to use.Any scammer can create a Chrome webstore developer account by paying a one time 5 dollar fee and code some shaddy extension.
6656  Economy / Exchanges / Re: CEX.IO additional application form. on: October 19, 2018, 06:17:14 AM
So i've account on CEX.io for few years. I have confirmed identity vertificatin (KYC).

However they ask me to fill also their application form pdf.  I uploaded it to my google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fO7ypHnzsNVaX-W1W4uTboBUJ_2YQwoB/view?usp=sharing

They ask info about source of fund, employement, phone number of employer, facebook account etc...

Has anybody filled this?

I'm not fine with this.

This "prove your identity" thing is getting ridiculous.Those crypto exchanges will get more personal info than CIA and FBI combined.I'm glad I don't use CEX.io anymore.If some other exchange website asks for such information,I would delete my account there ASAP.
6657  Economy / Economics / Re: Blockchain and carbon credits market. on: October 19, 2018, 06:11:23 AM
I've seen many projects about this but it seems most of them are lacking on something. Carbon credit market is a billion dollar industry and applying blockchain will be good for both industry.

The carbon credit market isn't helping for lowering carbon emissions.It should be banned.
We could create a new coin-CARBONCOIN and the mining of that coin should be reducing carbon emissions by using green technologies,such as solar panel and wind turbines. Grin
That's just an idea...
6658  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Drawback of all new cryptocoins!Confusion? on: October 19, 2018, 06:07:25 AM
People see this as a good thing that there are different cryptos popping everyday, as this means "acceptance". What I believe is that it is getting people confused! Moreover, this fuels to bitcoin negative propaganda as any sort of scam carried out by them leads to bashing of bitcoin.People don't really understand the difference. What are your thoughts?


Altcoins can't fuel the negative bitcoin propaganda.Many bitcoin users hate the altcoins.
However,we can't forbid the altcoins developers to create new coins every day.Keeping the blockchain code public and open source is a part of the crypto identity.
6659  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Still not understanding leverage on: October 18, 2018, 11:56:53 AM
Hi guys,

I just did my first leverage / margin, today but I am still clueless, this is the screenshots.



You are clueless about what?What exactly you don't understand about leverage?
The dashboard on the screenshot looks kinda all over the place.What cryptocurrency exchange platform are you using?
Leverage is like getting a loan from the crypto exchange platform to execure your orders and get bigger profits.The profits might be bigger,but the loss is bigger as well.
I advise you not to use leverage,if you don't have any experience.
6660  Economy / Economics / Re: Transferring of wealth from the impatient to the patient! on: October 18, 2018, 11:50:36 AM
It's better for any business owner (both online and offline) to be impatient,to work hard and implement innovations fast.However patience can be a virtue in long term investing.
There's a belief,amongst the majority of the btc users,that bitcoin will go to the moon for sure.What if that never happens?Usually the wealth is transferred from poor and uneducated to the rich and educated.
