701  Economy / Economics / Re: Blockchain and Medicine in Africa on: July 04, 2018, 02:08:58 AM
The world has since been stirred up by the wind of blockchain possibilities seen in fintech; records and data analysis and also recently in politics. But can we see thesame possibilities in healthcare for the poor in Africa?
Maybe within the developed countries apart of Africa, as it is a continent with many countries within. I myself am not aware, but I'm sure their are ways to bring blockchain into the infrastructure of a country. There are a lot of areas within Africa where the Blockchain may not reach any time soon, at least until development starts thriving in those parts.
   
702  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do some people in crypto still wish the downfall of Bitcoin? on: July 04, 2018, 02:01:02 AM
One thing that really surprises me is how some new projects come into blockchain and start spreading false news and making baseless analysis that bitcoin will fail all in the name of making their own project a success. In crypto, we should accept that bitcoin is the KING and anytime bitcoin falls, all other altcoins also fall. I have read news where people were predicting that bitcoin will go back to 1k and now that bitcoin and other cryptos are down, they are changing their predictions to favour bitcoin. This all proves that their plans backfired and they are beginning to realize that when bitcoin is down, most other alts will be down. All these news we spread rather drive away investors and at the end of the day, we all lose. Why can't we unite and spread good news rather than hate one of our own?
Bitcoin really isn't expected to last forever. It's just a proof of concept for the Blockchain, a demonstration, or reference point exhibiting the blockchains technological uses and capabilities. I believe that's why the project was made to be open sourced, in order for people to share their ideas and build upon the innovation, adding on to its infrastructure.
703  Economy / Speculation / Re: Someone with huge bitcoins has withdrawn the investment? on: July 04, 2018, 01:55:48 AM
I wonder why everytime bitcoin market price moves a little bit it can goes down and this always happen lately. I wonder what could be the reason for this but in my own opinion this is not the day trader anymore with huge bitcoin holdings that could use to manipulate bitcoin market price movement. This is something that has a huge bitcoin holdings and he eventually little by little withdraw his bitcoin holdings everytime it can go higher. Who do you think? Al FInney? or Satoshi Nakamoto?
This is nothing to worry about, it is probably some regular joe who got in on the project earlier on, probably during its infancy. Do you remember the guy who sold 10,000 of his Bitcoins for those pizzas? Not to count another guys wallet, but 10,000 Bitcoins as of today is around $65,000,000.
     
704  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoin technology has been obsolete, why bitcoin prices still expensive? on: July 04, 2018, 01:49:21 AM
I want to ask, many people are talking about bitcoin technology, they say bitcoin technology is old and outdated, why bitcoin prices are still expensive, why do so many people also buy bitcoin, according to you, what determines the price of bitcoin
Bitcoin is still expensive because it is a system that works. Why fix something if it isn't broken? The growth of the community determines the price of Bitcoin, also the supply and demand, as well as the limited supply. So there are several determining factors that arise which help give shape to the price of Bitcoin.
705  Economy / Speculation / Re: If Bitcoin Up then all crypto is Up HOW ? on: July 04, 2018, 01:42:53 AM
How its possible its something fishy for sure if bitcoin price goes up all crypto prices goes up its impossible situation every time me see saying it cause each crypto trader buyer and sellers are different and each user who buys crypto buys difrent crypto at one time how come eveyone buys all crypto at one time and all crypto prices goes up at same time did u thought that ever

its for sure something fishy or not convincing what u think of it guys !


Your not seeing the big picture. Bitcoin is the founding father of cryptocurrencies as we know them today.
Most crypto coins are traded against Bitcoin and then to fiat. Bitcoin is the medium of exchange to access fiat.
Until other cryptos are traded against fiat directly, Bitcoin will be the go to coin.
    The current market depends on Bitcoin to thrive, not just because it's a medium of exchange for fiat, but also because its reputation is on the line as the founding coin. If Bitcoin fails and falls flat on its face, then people will lose hope, faith and the belief, thus the crypto dream begins to fade. Bitcoin depends on supply and demand in order to grow. Naturally, the more users who adopt Bitcoin as the go to digital currency, the larger the network and infrastructure become and the higher the initial market price per coin.

Just my two cents

Blockchain is a complete paradigm shift in the ledgers are used. It opens up the world to trustless transparency.
  Decentralization is a real disrupter to the commonplace systems that still stand tried and true to this day. Then along comes the blockchain which balances the books.
  It's a real game changer!
707  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will survive in "cashless society" ?? on: July 03, 2018, 09:57:41 PM
It is said now China is a "cashless society". Use of debit cards and credit cards on online & offline stores/shops, pay bills etc..

USA and UK/England are into use of credit cards and debit cards in a big way for online & offline stores/shops, pay bills etc..

Will Bitcoin survive in "cashless society" where money becomes digital/numbers ??

Just like Bitcoin which does not have a physical presence, money/cash will not have physical presence in "cashless society/countries"
Possibly, it is a really tough call though, despite the dystopian futures portrayed by science fiction, whereas everyone would assimilate into digital currency use flawlessly. It is possible to live within a cashless society, but it shouldn't be rushed, Ludites need time to adopt technology. Not everyone is gung ho on innovation.

708  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC will not perish on: July 03, 2018, 09:32:53 PM
Bitcoin is too resilient to perish though there are fluctuations in the prices on the market. Market will soon stabilize in no time.Do you believe that?
Yes, I do believe that Bitcoin is not over yet, as a true replacement hasn't arisen yet. I also believe the market will stabilize, but not soon. Part of the reason the price has fallen mainly relies upon the regulation. Regulators are tightening up the market, so the market is going through a frenzy of F.U.D.
709  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who Agrees with Me? on: July 03, 2018, 09:28:27 PM
So I started noticing a pattern.
Everytime the market goes to the moon, the down trend lasts for a several weeks. Meaning, only when Bitcoin it's going to be at it's highest, the altcoins are going to be at the lowest point.
Then, the money from Bitcoin will start going to the Altcoins, making them going up even more.

Have you noticed the same thing?
Perhaps, Bitcoin is the foundation on which other coins were built, so being that Bitcoin is seen as the most popular crypto used as a medium of exchange, most coins have become dependent upon Bitcoins performance in order to flourish on the market.
It's highly complicated, but that's just my two cents!
710  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Transfered 48500 BTC yesterday :) on: July 03, 2018, 09:12:48 PM
Yesterday someone really taken big risk and trasfered his money to other wallet dont know who can do it or its legal money transfer or not
here is its blockchain track link https://www.blockchain.com/en/btc/address/12YygZpCEC8VED2oSMQdWCq5xBnHo9ts1Z

cause its not a small amount its 298 M $ transferred almost

what u think its legal transaction money used for legal use or some fishy thing !
Who knows, but let's not forget that many who participated within the humble beginnings of Bitcoin, may well indeed be millionaires today. Let's say for arguments sake, you mined 50,000 Bitcoins, around the time when they were worth next to nothing. Even by today's current market price, you'd still be a wealthy individual.
    What about the guy who spent 100,000 Bitcoins on those pizzas? Imagine if he kept those coins? It really doesn't
 seem like so much money depending on your perspective view.
711  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin requires approval from countries ? on: July 03, 2018, 09:02:50 PM
Germany recently approved bitcoin, why exactly is the approval required and what will happen after approval ?
Bitcoin relatively puts a new spin on existing technology.
The blockchain is simple, yet so complex. It works!
Most Countries rely on their current means of laws, and policies in order to function successfully.
    What Blockchain did was disrupt the financial sector, so much so, that it has opened up people's eyes to the benefits the blockchain is capable of.
   The safest measure for a country to approach the use of Bitcoin, would be to approach it with caution, maybe even suffocate it enough to control it from spreading, until they can come up with a good solution that almost appeases everyone.
   Think of the Y2K bug everyone was so worked up about. It was supposedly a real disruptor to all things digital, like stored records, money, data, etc.
   Bitcoin approvals should mean good news. It means it has survived the scrutiny of critics, possibly gaining favor in their eye. If parliament is considering leniency towards crypto use, is this not a good thing? Maybe...
712  Economy / Economics / Re: Elevator down and stairs up for BTC? on: July 03, 2018, 08:40:09 PM
I loved Dec. but now the bear cycle came down on us so fast like an elevator. So what does that mean for the near future are we taking the slower stairs back up for BTC?

I'm glad we had double-digit growth couple days ago, but now it's like so slow and not just busting through $9-$10k.. what the heck BTC.

What are your thoughts, elevator down and stairs up or not?
I'm not an expert on the matter, but with recent news from the governing regulatory bodies around the world concerning crypto currencies, prices once seen on the market as inflated, will begin to dissipate, eventually finding a stabilization point.
It may take time to climb back up the hill again after a fall.
713  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What should a person know and do who is going to become an investor? on: June 30, 2018, 09:59:09 PM
Your best bet is to visit investopedia and start with the beginning courses which serves as a guidepost for aspiring investors. It's a invaluable encyclopedia that has everything you need to know in order to go about your venture successfully.
      I use it frequently and I am sure that others here do as well. Remember to practice your due diligence and be cautious.

  Happy trails!
714  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No women in Bitcoin you say? on: June 30, 2018, 07:48:33 PM
But the biggest fuck-up of all: Lightning Network / Lightning Labs is led by Elizabeth Stark.  If you like train wrecks, get Elizabeth to lead us there.

You can see for yourself how Lightning works...
 

We live within a time where women have been suppressed (highly debatable) for so long, that now being that they have a bit of leg room in today's world, they tend to play the victim card a bit more often than not. Like adding insult to injury, or like pouring salt into a wound, women, whom who are already privileged (less time for same crimes men commit, child support, pregnancy leave, etc) have the nerve to demand more, but with less responsibility.
   Women complain, that's just what they do! The reason why there isn't many women within the cryptocurrency scene, is because not enough of them are interested in the field. There simply is a lack of interest, though feminists would say otherwise, like saying "men are dominating the crypto scene, it's not fair, its sexist!"
    The average woman would find crypto to be too sophisticated to comprehend and to complicated to understand (in it's current interface) Don't get me wrong now, there happens to be many women involved within the tech & finance industry, however, the divide will continue to be stacked in mans favor until crypto becomes so simple enough, that children and even the elderly can use it without any hassle.
715  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: IS THIS HIM or HER: Satoshi Nakamoto??? on: June 30, 2018, 07:29:08 PM
Who knows, it could be him? Personally, I thought the name was a pseudonym rather than an actual government recorded identity. Most people who take part within the underground grassroots internet scene, almost never use a real identity, just a pen name.
   Names are usually reflections of our inner most thoughts at the time the name is conceived, encapsulating either a single idea, or a collage of ideas.

I believe that the regulations are the best thing to happen to cryptocurrency in a long time. You can think of this time period as the "great culling". Here the legal waters are becoming ever clearer to navigate, as many of us up till now, have been lost at sea.
    The price must fall before it can ever rise again. It is the tension and pressure that will cause the loose ends of the scene to be cut off. All of those scam coins, many being clones, will begin to disappear. It has to get worse before it gets  better. The market is quite chaotic, but from chaos, order will form.
718  Economy / Services / Re: [CFNP] IOS - Signature & Avatar Campaign | Up to $150/week in BTC & Tokens! on: May 05, 2018, 01:37:15 AM
I hope I make the cut, because every day that I do decide to post, a lot of my posts seem to get deleted. I always fulfill the bounty request, but this week it may seem short because some of my posts were deleted again. I know I have posted more than the 25 required posts, I even screenshoted the post count just in case.
    Is anyone else facing this problem of posts being deleted? This count could effect bounty participation.
 Huh
719  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin continue to rise? on: May 05, 2018, 12:15:55 AM
Off course it will, it's just going to take some time before the price recovers. Regulation has been cracking down hard upon Bitcoin all over the world. There's no choice but to wait and see. The price already seems like it is stabilizing  somewhat. It may never reach $20,000 before the end of the year, but someday, certainly it will again!
720  Economy / Economics / Re: Is small business ready to sell for cryptocurrency? on: May 04, 2018, 07:53:24 PM
What do you think, how many people are ready to sell their goods or services on crypto? Let's say that we have service which help quick and easy to build online store and sell for cryptocurrency. What kind of reasons can motivate people to start a crypto business?
I think that only the small time merchants who are generally accepting of modern technological innovation are the ones who will integrate crypto into their systems first, usually as a payment medium, before using it for anything else. It is still a platform that is within its infancy, most are accepting to tech when it benefits the greater good, but if it's not government backed, many will not see a use for its especially if it's not an insured method payment.
