‘Almost Irresponsible’ to Not Invest in Bitcoin: Billionaire Mike Novogratz

Billionaire bitcoin bull Michael Novogratz, founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital Capital Management, says every investor should have 1% to 2% of their portfolio in cryptocurrency. Not to do so, he told CNN, is “almost irresponsible.”

https://www.ccn.com/almost-irresponsible-to-not-invest-in-bitcoin-billionaire-mike-novogratz/

1-2% of their portfolio?Wow,this is too risky.They should invest under 0,5%. Grin Just kidding.
I was going to retire with my bitcoin savings,but the BTC price is going down again and I'm so frustrated right now. Undecided
What is irresponsible?Not investing in bitcoin or not investing in crypto?Again some naive jounalists don`t know the difference between btc and crypto.
7043  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banks fucking their customers on: May 13, 2018, 06:34:00 AM
Any big crypto exchange platform can f*** their customers the same way,asking for 1000 documents and verifications that the account owner is the actual owner of the crypto and he bought the crypto with his own money and bla bla.I`ve seen many users here compaining about the same stuff,but yhey were scammed by crypto trading platforms,not banks.

This is article number 4596931789 saying the same thing over and over again.
"Cryptos are shitty,because criminals use them."Camoon crypto haters,can you say something more,instead of repeating this statement over and over?I'm going to destroy my computer next time,if I find some generic low quality article whining  about how bad cryptocurrencies are. Grin
7045  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Are Crazier, Speculative Things Says Bill Gates on: May 09, 2018, 06:42:24 AM
Bill Gates, Microsoft founder comments about bitcoin on May 7th. He said that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are “kind of a pure greater fool theory type of investment”.


Read news here: https://coinpedia.org/news/bill-gates-bitcoin-crazier-speculative/

OP,you should move this thread to the Press sub-forum.
We already know what Bil Gates thinks about bitcoin,so your post is kinda pointless.
Don`t just try to boost your post count.
7046  Economy / Economics / Re: James Turk: You don't invest in gold, gold is money on: May 08, 2018, 11:54:29 AM
Gold has been considered to be money for millenniums. This doesn't seem to be changing in the foreseeable future, in my honest opinion. Therefore, I definitely don't disagree with the statement that gold is money, however in the current time it is definitely still a valid investment. It only depends on your definition of what an "investment" is, really.

But gold definitely hasn't really rallied for a long time, and seems to be consolidating and moving sideways exclusively recently.

It could definitely be a good time to buy some, but just like any asset, be prepared to hold it for the long run. Gold is probably more of a store of value for the long term, than a short term speculative investment.

Gold was considered as money in the past,but how about now?
If gold is really "money",can you buy food or pay the bills with a piece of gold? Grin
No,you can`t,because:
1.You will need a very little amount.
2.I don't think that any merchant will accept it as a payment.
7047  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-05-08] Bitcoin Casinos Grow in Popularity – Why? on: May 08, 2018, 11:45:40 AM
Because no government wants to regulate the cryptocurrency gambling industry.They all want to regulate the crypto trading platforms,because all the politicians are slaves of Wall Street and the Wall Street brokers don`t want to lose their monopoly.Sooner or later they will hit the crypto casinos.
By the way,this is a very generic article about bitcoin.

"if there was an easy way to do it"
Gates anwsers you own question.Obviously,there`s no easy way to short bitcoin.
BTC future contracts aren`t the best tool for shorting.Gates is smart enough to know that.
7049  Other / Meta / Re: Is the merit system flawed? on: May 07, 2018, 07:29:43 AM
Flawed? Yes.
Should it be removed? No.

There is no benefit to ranking up apart from reducing post times if you intend to use the forum for useful discussion. Unfortunately, most users are seeking rank-ups to earn more in signature campaigns.

So why don't we rephrase these questions about the merit system?

"Can we make signature campaigns easier to enter?"
"Can I get paid more in signature campaigns with shitty posts?"


The post quality in sig campaigns is 100% controlled by the sig campaign managers,not by the merit system.
Someone could have lots of merit,received for 2-3 good posts,but after that,he could make 100 shitty posts,and his merit score won`t change.The sig campaigns have only a 10 or 20 minimal merit requirement.
I can see that ,most of the time,the merit has nothing to do with the post quality.Some users have received lots of merit,but they still make mediocre posts.
7050  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: hitbtc.com thieves and scammers on: May 03, 2018, 06:31:37 AM
I read your screenshots and I can`t believe it.
OP,did you really sold a car and an apartment in order to buy bitcoins?
Did you really deposited 8 BTC to an crypto exchange platform?
Rule number one is NEVER DEPOSIT LARGE AMOUNTS OF CRYPTO INTO AN EXCHANGE PLATFORM!
It doesn`t matter which platform (HitBTC,Binance,Bitfinex,Poloniex or whatever).It doesn`t matter the number of posititive reviews posted online about that platform.It doesn`t matter who is recommending that platform.
Never do that.That`s the golden rule.
I`v used HitBTC in the past without any problem,but only with really small amounts of BTC.
It`s time for you to find a good attorney,who is familiar with the crypto industry.
If you really complied with all the ID verificaiton/KYC stuff and you really had proven that those BTC are not stolen/earned with illegal activites,then they are obligated to send you the funds.

7052  Economy / Economics / Re: Debt Crisis was Created by Politicians and Central Bankers - Godfrey Bloom MEP on: May 03, 2018, 05:20:26 AM
Why the politicians produce more debt?
There is a simple answer for this.Because they want to "buy" more votes and keep their power.
Debt is the easiest way to do that,because they don`t have to increase the taxes.
7053  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are Satoshi mined bitcoins owned by the US Government on: May 03, 2018, 05:15:46 AM
What would happen if dollar would lost huge value and the the US Government gives a proof of ownership of Satoshi mined bitcoins?
Maybe this was asked sometime before I applogize for repeating the same question.
In other words what if Bitcoin iwas created by the Government?

If bitcoin was really created by the US government,it would have been cracked/hacked back in 2010. Grin
Even the  US government's "Obamacare" webiste was a complete garbage.How can they create a cryptocurrency,that will be so successful and survive over 8 years?

7055  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Every Bitcoin Fork incredibly Fallen Down? on: April 23, 2018, 04:34:38 PM
From December 2017 to January 2018, We have seen many bitcoin fork. And there are Super Bitcoin (SBTC), LBTC, Segwit (B2X) , Bitcoin Diamond And many more. That time SBTC Price was 800$, the B2X price was 1400$+

But at this moment, I just shocked by seeing their value! B2X Price is 1$ !! How is possible! SBTC price is 21$!! But why they are fallen down! Then Bitcoin Fork isnt helpful for Bitcoin? I am just confused.

Please Share your opinion.
Thank You.

I`m wondering why those forked coins were so overpriced back then?Perhaps they "stole" some "bitcoin reputation" right after the forks,but the market knows how to kick the useless stuff very fast.
Creating and selling a forked bitcoin is like selling a Lamborgini, which has the engine of some 30-year old shitty car.
It`s like they were using an already established brand to sell bullshit.
7056  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-04-23] Bitcoin Payments Are on the Rise in the Baltics on: April 23, 2018, 12:18:07 PM
I would be happier if the crypto payments were widely accepted in Sweden,Finland and Norway.The baltic countries are just too small and too poor,so they  can`t influence the entire EU to accept more cryptocurrency payment gateways for buying&selling products and services.Estonia is a country that is very open to tech innovations and I`m not suprised that they are using cryptos on a daily basis.
7057  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hongkong and Singapore good haven for Chinese bitcoiners on: April 23, 2018, 12:11:06 PM
https://www.newsbtc.com/2018/04/23/hong-kong-singapore-welcome-chinese-icos/



Although China imposing  restrictions of using cryptocurrencies  to its people , truly that everything will be done into good purposes when Honkong  and Singapore are welcoming Chinese to freely continue the growth of crypto into those mentioned countries through fundraising , when they can sale tokens and bitcoins for exchange of goods and services. Some kind of great move to China to look forward a good  haven where they can regulate bitcoin exchanges.

I thought that Singapore isn`t crypto friendly at all and they will implement new regulations and taxes over the crypto companies under their jurisdiction.The Chinese government has some level of control over Hong Kong and they won`t let all the chinese to export their crypto holdings oustide China.
Anyway,Hong Kong and Singapore are the best places to create a business,and it would be great ,if they become more crypto friendly. 
7058  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: lock your fiat gains without selling BTC 🧠 on: April 23, 2018, 07:00:55 AM
So I just came accross @1SingularityWay Twitter profile and part of his description is "Learn how to lock your $fiat gains without ever selling your $BTC. 🧠"

BUT HOW !?


 

Why do you care about a Twitter account with only 44 followers?This guy looks like a scammer to me.
Why don`t you just send him a DM via Twitter and ask him about this?
I`m pretty sure that he is promoting some scammy "get rich quick" product or service.After all,there is a GET RICH QUICK sign on his profile image. Grin
7059  Economy / Services / Re: Promote your project on my blog on: April 23, 2018, 06:53:25 AM
This thread belongs to the "Services" forum board.You are offering a service,this is not a project.
I like you blog design.It`s clean and without any distractions and convenient as well.
I`ll check the traffic and SEO stats of your blog with some analysis tools and decide wether or not to buy your service.I`m running out of my budget and 125$ per article looks a high price for me,you will have to provide a high quality service.Is your blog listed on buysellads.com?I see it has banner ads.
7060  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-4-22]Crypto Ads Ban Is Temporary, According To LinkedIn's Co-Founder on: April 23, 2018, 06:39:39 AM
No,the crypto Ad ban won`t be temporary.It will last forever,because:
1. Google,Facebook and Twitter are a part of the fiat money financial status quo.
2.They won`t let crypto advertisements,because it might create the new blockchain based social media,that will compete with them.Helping your competitors is the worst businerss decision ever. Grin
Anyway,it`s good to know that the LinkedIn co-founder is involved into crypto projects.LinkedIn is the best social network.
