If that's even his name. Just read the bitcoin wiki on him and I'm amazed. Nobody knows him.

Long time passed since he last posted in here. Why? "Busy"? I don't think so. He was active when bitcoin needed support but since the slashdot...
Also, it seems has knowledge in many areas, especially economy. He doesn't act like the average human. Not taking advantage out of his creation, leaving without telling anything. Is he even a single person or a group?

How can someone create something so great and not stepping out to get the credit?

I tried to understand the essence and benefits of futures trading BTC
Futures on bitcoin will be traded next week. People who for the last few years constantly trying to convince everyone around that bitcoin is a bubble, must be happy: now they can finally move from words to deeds and begin shorting. But are they right?

Future (futures contract) — a derivative financial instrument, the standard urgent exchange contract of purchase and sale of the underlying asset at the conclusion of which the parties (seller and buyer) agree only on the price level and delivery time.

Craig Pirrong, Professor of business at the University of Houston says:

"Futures largely simplify the game to decrease than to increase, so that the majority of them, apparently, will benefit the bears. Therefore, the appearance of such a tool can reduce the cost of bitcoin".

How is shorting, I have studied the example on the stock market.
EXAMPLE. The investor can borrow paper, say 1 BTC, mind you, he takes not the money. The point is that he took 1 BTC for 16,000 thousand dollars. Sold it for 20,000 Then periscopes for 16 again. Gave ficers 1 BTC back but he got a profit of 4 thousand dollars (0.25 btc). So it will work

However, the futures will simplify the game to increase. The process of acquisition and storage of bitcoins is extremely unpleasant for many investors: you either have to worry about the fact that they are not stolen, or stored on paper, making them difficult to use as trading assets.

A substantial simplification of the process will increase the number of people wishing to open short positions, but those who play on the rise, so much so that their number will grow much faster.

Lou Kerner, partner Flight VC, a venture Fund investing in cryptocurrency. "we believe that from the point of view of fundamental non-market factors-such asset is quite reliable, but they tend to sell out".

Investors with big money still do not really believe in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. All now wait for the futures I thought of what awaits us after this still greater growth. But now I'm not sure. I think now all that is left us is to wait and see how the market will behave.

I hope the article was useful

You get to be in absolute control of what happens to your money and your asset. You get to pick, what to buy, when to buy and you pick out when to sell and do with your money as you like.

All that is related to investing, money, then there are many risks in the face, surely everyone should realize that, nothing is comfortable in this world, all also need a process in minimizing destruction, comparable to what you can, if you really want to try, if you do not want to risk then just be quiet, do not invest anywhere dude.

This is a good news for people who have lots of bitcoin but I don't think they have financial problems for them to be using their bitcoin. And as for me who is investing on bitcoin hoping to be rich someday I dont think I'll be using my bitcoin cause it will defeat the reason why I hodl bitcoin.

I do believe that price volatility and legal status as the main concern for anyone to think of their involvement in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I don't think that there is any other issue like technology or user-friendliness. The lack of awareness is one of the major reasons for the people not to get involved with Bitcoin because they believe the media stories without doing their own research and trying to understand what Bitcoin and blockchain technology is all about and how it works.

Hey guys,  i need some suggestions and opinions about this.

Before you are going to invest in bitcoin, you must have studied what cryptocurrencies are, pros and cons of each cryptocurrency, you have calculated the risk that you might take, and accept the fate that you might lose here. Investing is making yourself comfortable to that currency and wait for it to become big. But there are chances that the thing where you invest will not be successful. With this, you might feel burnout or anything. You should be ready for these kinds of scenarios. Study it well, before going to invest in a particular cryptocurrency.

My friend in Canada told me that bitcoin payment has been used in KFC. What does that mean?

I'm not referring to the price of Bitcoin (we all know it's going to be $250,000/coin by 2022), but the goal that it would be a legitimate alternative to inflationary government fiat currencies.  When the altcoin market is examined, it is inextricably linked to the price of Bitcoin.  Where Bitcoin goes, so does the rest of the cryptocurrencies.  There's even somewhat of a dismissive attitude toward other crytpos in some investment circles; strangely this was a similar sentiment held by those "respectable" investors when Bitcoin was in its infancy.

What do you think?  I'd love to hear from some crytpo veterans.

this is good news for the crypto community as more countries are now legalizing the use of cryptos. but i do think that this only has a little effect on the tourism of the country.

Hey guys, there is a time that it comes to my mind that what should i do, wait for a long time or we can say hold for now or take a risk and grab the opportunity to have a money in your hands???
What do you think guys??

handa kaba isugal ang pera mo sa isang larangan na hindi mo naman kabisado? kahit sino naman hindi gagawin ang ganun syempre bago ka magbitaw ng pera mo kailangan alam mo ang pinapasok mo. magkalap ka muna ng kaalaman

Yes in near future bitcoin will get legitimacy in all the countries. Now days many countries banned bitcoin as they think it is harmful for their public. But though they banned it, people still using it. After some time when the whole world will start cryptocurrency then they will also make bitcoin legal in their countries.

bitcoin is very risky because the price up and down, but also can generate big profits as well. bank is not the right investment medium, because we just keep it and the value will not increase.

People investing in btc are not foolish, they realized that btc is the best investment to earn a lot for them to live a better life.

For me not a good idea to sell bitcoin since there are still potencial to increase more if you sell you will lose opportunity to make more profit..
But if you bought bitcoin in cheap price well you can also good to sell them to save the profit and wait for the price drop again to buy cheap bitcoin but i still confidence to hold bitcoin because i see more potencial about bitcoin that it can be increase more its value this month.. Look at the market right now the price of bitcoin is increase back again after the drop price happen past few hours. .

The best time to buy was several years ago. The second best time is now.

The future of cryptocurrencies depends solely on the cryptos themselves, if the tech and algorithm isn't a good one then it obviously won't stand the test of time.
