6761  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 5 Reasons McAfee’s $2 Million Bitcoin Prediction May Not Be So Crazy on: October 24, 2019, 04:27:15 PM

    1. Bitcoin’s Scarcity Will Lead to a Price Surge
    2. $2 Trillion+ Institutional Investment Dollars
    3. Bitcoin Halving in May 2020
    4. Governments Holding BTC in Central Bank Reserves
    5. A Global Recession in 2020

https://bitcoinist.com/mcafees-2-million-bitcoin-prediction/

It's not crazy but it's extreme, Bitcoin hardly climb in the $20k level and $1 million is so far out, all your point is good but not too good enough to even reach $50k I don't want to rule out $1 million I'm also dreaming of that, but we have to take the reality of all the predictions, I don't know what Mcafee saw that we did not saw and what are the factors that he sees that makes him says that, but so far Bitcoin in million is not reasonable.
6762  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Loan to buy Bitcoin? on: October 24, 2019, 03:26:27 PM
I'm buying ~500$ in Bitcoin every month with part of my salary. I have a stable job and my company is doing good. I'm wondering if it worth to take 20.000$ to buy 2 BTC now and pay the 500$ as loan installment instead of buying sats every month. I believe in the potential of Bitcoin to reach 50k in a couple years, but it wouldn't be possible to buy near half of BTC at the 500$ rate, so this would be something like an "advance". Hypothetically (but still possible in some probability), if BTC collapses and never recover from 8k, I would still be paying this loan for about 3 years but wouldn't starve or something like that, it would just sux for a while, since I still have another source of income. I know it's not the place to ask I will do whatever I think it's best, but if you were in my position, would you do it?

You said you have a stable job and in a good company, I don't see anything wrong on that if, you think you can still keep something for an emergency so you can still keep all your coins in a long run, this will eventually pay off if Bitcoin get another all time high in the next two years, and besides this is an investment, however very volatile you should be ready to accept any eventualities even to the point of selling to cut your losses.

I am not aware of this but I'm not using a QR code and there is a warning
Quote
"[As QR] codes are not humanly readable, it opens an avenue for fraud," added ZenGo's Tal Be'ery.
This will cast a bad light in using QR code for now on because it is not readable, there is no way to know if the code is real of from a different address, I will not advise people to stop using it, but they know that something like this exists and they have to take extra precaution when dealing with QR code.

Zuckerberg: if legislators’ trust is not gained, we will exit from project Libra
CEO of Facebook in a hearing in front of the Congress said that Facebook is no longer in the position of project controller and the operation of Libra is independent.
What do you think about this?

Congress is right in asking questions about how they are going to handle compliancy and strong identity verification, to which Zuckerberg answer
Quote
is going to have strong identity [verification] and work with all the regulators to make sure we’re at the standard of AML or CFT that people expect.

Zuckerberg wants to distance himself from the Libra coin because he is just one of the association that controls but the Congress hardly believe that, Libra coin and Facebook is difficult to be separated.

Libra coin will have a hard time and their launching is now in question if they cannot satisfy the regulators, so this is going to be a long series of discussions, let's see in the next hearing if they can satisfy the regulators.
6765  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will You Support Or Have You Supported A Coin That Makes A Comeback on: October 24, 2019, 10:00:46 AM
I had once supported a coin named peercoin, it was a dead coin and someone took over it. It gave me a profit, the price went up from a few litoshis into a few satoshis.
after a series of a pump and promises, someone from the team dumped a lot of coins on the market and abandoned it. That was the last time I supported a take over project, even though someone else took over it again. I have lost my interest in supporting that kind of project because I keep have a feeling the team will do the same thing again when the market rises.



I have the feeling that they want to take over it, so they can dump their bags because they don't have to create from the scratch, it's already listed in the Coinmarketcap, a lot of articles about the coin/token are still alive and there are exchange that still not delisting the token, all they have to do it to make promising announcement about the new take over team and voila it will soon have a buy order and they can dump their bags.
6766  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Will You Support Or Have You Supported A Coin That Makes A Comeback on: October 24, 2019, 09:25:41 AM
We have thousands of coins in the market right now, and thousands of them are dead coins do you have a coin that you've supported than turn dead and making a comeback, and will you support a coin that you've invested and become a dead coin and making a comeback.
mine was Xtrabyte it becomes a deadcoin, but adopted by a new developer and it becomes profitable.
6767  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sell your altcoins and tokens TODAY, save yourself the frustration on: October 24, 2019, 05:03:29 AM
You know how this is going to end. You might be trying to lie to yourself, you might be secretly hoping that some token in your "portfolio" that you have 10 million of is going to moon to $50 and make you rich, but let's be real: that is not going to happen. Even the allegedly strong altcoins like LTC or ETH or whatever is cool these days (I've been out of this game for a while) are not doing well and BTC dominance is growing. Which makes sense if you think about it. BTC can do most of what any altcoin can do and the few really useful features that BTC is missing (private transactions for example) are implemented by multiple altcoins, fragmenting their market share.

And the elephant in the room: 99% of altcoins are total garbage. They're called shitcoins for a reason.

Sell your altcoins and tokens. Take the proceeds in BTC, stick it into a cold wallet, keep some online to play around with Lightning and other things that actually matter for real-life stuff, like being able to buy something. When was the last time you were able to use for example Ethereum for something tangible, not to buy some garbage tokens or to play a game?

Do it today. Your grandkids will thank you.

We really don't know if your grandkids will really thank you, we are entitled to our opinion and own analysis but, not the fact, Cryptocurrency is evolving and changing, Ethereum has it's high and so do majority of the coins in the market, but we never know what's going to happen next year or five years from now maybe altcoins glory days will come back, it's always a good strategy to not put all your eggs in one basket, it applies to all investment.
6768  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty hunters needs to start respecting themselves on: October 24, 2019, 04:21:30 AM
Bounty hunters please start claiming your worth, do not go around promoting bounty projects that has too low allocation, i was surfing around on this forum today and i saw new bounty projects that have allocation worth of 1000dollars and they even have separate campaigns, why are people promoting such projects? you are the ones responsible for how developers are treating bounty hunters, there is nothing wrong if you decide not to work for penny... Even some airdrops on this forum has 8$ worth of allocation, just imagine that

When it comes to bounty hunting each one has their own reason to promote or participate on that campaign if they think the allocation is not that big but the coin has a good potential in the market, we cannot stop them to make that decision to participate, but it's a different story if they continue to participate,  if the project is tagged as a potential scam, people should stop promoting if the project is proven to be scam or investors will be tagged as accomplished.
6769  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Protect Yourself And You Protect Your Assets on: October 23, 2019, 04:43:24 PM
I've read people asking and posting how to protect their wallet but apart from educating yourself on how to protect your wallet, private keys and passwords, It's also very important that you protect yourself from exposing your portfolio you don't go around telling friends and random people, coins that you are keeping.
And also It's important to have other businesses or jobs and not rely on all your needs to Cryptocurrency, people will notice this and they will think you are making a fortune from Cryptocurrency and they might target you.

So are you protecting yourself and how do you protect yourself and your family?
To be honest I think you should only let your friends or whom you really trust to know about how you earn in crypto,
The more people who knows it the more it would be complicated just like one of my friends who are only earning through crypto but the people around them doesn't know a thing about crypto so they are suspecting that he is doing some illegal things online in order to sustain his living expenses.

So what can we say to these people who are posting their earnings from Cryptocurrency on Facebook, with all their locations and relatives exposed on social media, it's like inviting bad people from stalking them, I have a lot of friends on Facebook that post every cent they earned from trading and bounty campaign and they also post their family activity on social media, these people do not know the risk associated with this.

6771  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: What makes you still join the bounty campaigns? on: October 23, 2019, 03:21:33 PM
An open question to all bounty hunters. What makes you still join the bounty campaigns?

I was the regular bounty hunter in 2017 and early half of the 2018 but once 80% of my joined bounties started to turn scam without paying a penny, I dropped the idea. By looking the current situation, I can conclude that the situation has now worsen and the success rate of bounties is now dropped to further low. So my question is why you still join bounties? Are you getting paid? If yes, then which one gave you best rewards this year? Who is the best manager/s currently in bounty domain?

Honestly, I cannot keep up with the number of bounty campaigns that I've participated and I thought these profitable campaigns will not end, but all good things can end, 2018 and 2019 is probably the end of bounty campaign that will give you profit, I'd like to thank Yahoo for giving me a chance to be part of my current campaign Cryptotalk, I was really in the verge of retiring from doing signature ICO campaigns because it's futile and really useless, but I'm glad I've seen and become part of the glory days of bounty campaigns I have something to cherish back 2017.
6772  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do people easily get scammed on the internet? on: October 23, 2019, 02:07:12 PM
People get easily scam because of ignorance and they do not know the real situation, they all thought, that it is just investing and waiting because the first people or early birds in Cryptocurrency did just that, and they thought the situation now is the same as those early days.
If they see the warning signs and all the risk involved, they will be very careful and will do research on how to check if the project is legit or not.
6773  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to protect your token's on: October 23, 2019, 10:22:43 AM
There are lots of people who shouted for help every time i open the forum lots of them are scammed, lost a key for their wallets and more,
here are some tips that you can do to avoid this kind of incidents
1. Keep your keys for wallets in a secure place where you can easily access but others can't
This is the number one rule of thumb for me keep it in a safe place that accessible by you but not to other people
2. Never share your passwords to anyone
Remember even the closes person to you can turn you down sometimes, and hit you really hard when you don't expect
its okay to trust people around you but there should be a distance or a position where in okay you can't know everything about me its
too personal.
3. If you keep your keys codes etc in your computer make sure you always have a backup a clone for the drive to be safe.
This is the last one for me but this should be at first procedure you should do first always keep your backup because we all know
you don't know when your computer encounter a problem specially windows , which a lot of users are using ,
there you go this are some simple steps that can be done i hope this can help you keep you codes and keys safe every time


Everything goes down to educating yourself first, these are good compilations, there are still many other ways to safeguard your password and private keys, but it's not only about your token but protecting yourself from divulging on how large and how many tokens you are holding, this is the best way to keep your token avoid boasting tokens that you're holding and how large profit did you made, this will put you in danger and your family.

mas mababa ba ang fee sa tambunting gamit ang abra compared sa M.Lhuiller pag gamit ang Coins.ph?sorry curious lang ako kasi para sa nakikita ko pinaka mamabang cash out now ang ML compared sa lahat ng money order companies kaya kung mas mababa sa abra baka lumipat na ko.medyo may mga cases kasi na naabala na ako sa coins.ph now so i am looking aside from banks kasi malapit lang dito ang ML at tambunting so mas accessible ako.
Yep, may mga 1.50% na fee sa cashout which is .5% less sa gcash cashout and may iba rin na 1.25% naman na less .75% sa gcash cashout. Swerte ka pag nagcacater ng abra cashout yung malapit na tambunting sayo. Dito samin yung pinakamalapit, kayang kayang lakarin ayaw minsan e. Sa 5 attempts, 2 lang napagbigyan.


Mababa talaga ang ML kaya lang nasa verification process pa ang coins.ph ko kaya Abra muna ako mabilis sya one click approve lang, just the other day I encounter one issue it keeps lagging, the teller have to send 3 confirmation to approve the transaction, this is the only issue I found after three weeks of using Abra I might settle with Abra for now, because there is no hassle of KYC.
I remembered last October 9 magcacashout ako sa tambunting and nakipagaway pako. Kase pinipilit ni teller na iclick ko yung 'Yes, I got the cash' button which is mali na dapat maibigay muna nila yung pera bago ang lahat.

I think you should report that teller, if you click the button I got cash and you still haven't received it yet, it will jeopardize your transaction, they should hand your cash first then confirmed that you received it, all Abra and would be Abra users should take note of this feature I usually confirmed that I received the cash after a minute I received, there is also a feedback feature for that branch you can give them 1 star rating for asking you to confirm even though you did not receive the cash yet

I was reading meta section and saw a thread complaint about poor posting in the gambling section. I came to the section and look at some threads and realized there did not seem to be any threads made for the gambling crazed losers. Thus I posted this.

They need professional help this is an addiction and all forms of addiction needs professional help if you can be his constant companion and if you can have him to listen to you, you can lead him to get help from professional help, that's the only way to cut him off from being a chronic gambler and return to normal life, I doubt if they can help themselves, they need outside help, and a friend is a good help from outside.

It really happens I have to look for at least 5 branches near my location so if ever one is down I still have other branches options to cash out, so far the two I'm regularly cashing out  have no downtime and always have cash on hands, you can visit the location in your Abra dashboard to find Tambunting nearest you, they are using Google Map to show the direction, and how to get there fast.
Yep, I'm also using this feature and napakarami nga. The only teller I'm trusting is only Tambunting, kase dun lang ako nakakapagcashout on hand nang may malaking possibility na sure na makakakuha. Kase, kung titingnan nyo yung mga tellers, marami din dun yung hindi lang Tambunting. And nung hinanap ko yung isang teller na yun, di ko mahanap sa map nagtanong tanong nako sa mga taong malapit dun, wala naman. Probably di updated yung tellers nila noh?

I own a decent amount of Bitcoins which were made honestly with right investment & timing since 2012.
During 2017 until 2019, i invested in many different projects and 99% of my investment got wiped almost instantly during 2019.
Not only you, but there are also so many of us here who losses in that period but 99% is quite high it really is a big loss


Quote
I did recover some of my losses with the IEO hype but it seems the IEO hype is over now.
I know the right answer is to HODL and just let the sit back and relax but it wont grow my Bitcoins amount.
Congratulations that you get back some of your investment not everyone has that opportunity to get back their investment


Quote
I read about many so called Bitcoin Banks, Projects,  who promise you 3% interest annually, simply don't believe in holding your bitcoins in one place for such a long time.
Don't go for it, that is the easiest way to lose all your investment and you will have a second round of losing your investment.


Quote
So how would you increase your bitcoins?
You can trade, do bounty buy but never fall to programs that offer 3% it's risky and not recommended.

It's a habit that will not go away just like that, once gambling got hold of you and you have been playing for quite some time, you cannot just refrain yourself from playing because you have experienced the fun the profit, but if you have a strong will and you know your limitation that's the only possible way to do that.

It's a country to country basis, our casino here is being run by the government to sustain infrastructure project, and Muslim are only a minority here, so I don't see our government following other country's lead of banning casino, our government will not and cannot kill a goose a golden egg, we need funding because we are a growing and developing country.

Kasalukuyang Abra user ako para makapagcashout kasi sa coins kung mapapansin mo sa mga posts ko sa coins.ph official thread. And balak ko rin gumawa ng thread dito sa Philippine board kung pano magcashout kase naranasan ko na. Ang problem lang sa Abra is yung ibang Tambunting, ayaw magpacashout sa abra. Low funds, down system etc.

It really happens I have to look for at least 5 branches near my location so if ever one is down I still have other branches options to cash out, so far the two I'm regularly cashing out  have no downtime and always have cash on hands, you can visit the location in your Abra dashboard to find Tambunting nearest you, they are using Google Map to show the direction, and how to get there fast.
