81  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it worth buying low-volume tokens? on: June 04, 2018, 10:34:49 AM
I noticed this phenomenon. Often someone buys up all the proposed tokens with a small amount of trading (for example, look at SMT on hitbtc this night), and after a few days these tokens go up in price very much. Is it worth buying such a token?

it depends on which token and how it ends up. With these tokens you might get some great profits but also you can lose the funds easier. It's all about the risk management.
82  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin plays a vital role in the economy on: June 04, 2018, 10:18:58 AM
Bitcoin opens many doors of new markets, which would affect the economy of a country, the reason why there are some countries who don't like bitcoin because cryptocurrency controlled by no one and because they don't get taxes. But if governments open there eyes and use bitcoin in its positive ways as possible you would be shocked that the third world countries who opens their gates on bitcoin will become one of the best countries we have ever seen.

bitcoin plays a very little role in economy nowadays. It's just a very tiny part of the economies in general. But if it succeeds, it can help in many factors, for example to import/export businesses...
83  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin a pump and dump scheme? on: June 04, 2018, 10:17:47 AM
Base on what I learned here in bitcointalk and understand, Probably not. A  pump and dump scheme is a fraudulent operation where the operators own lots of a low-valued stock or commodity, and use mass advertising to lure large amounts of money from new investors, which in turn inflates the price. Once the commodity has reached a sufficiently high price, the operators “cash out” by selling all their holdings, which causes the commodity’s price to plummet, and the later investors lose most of their invested money.

What do you think ?



bitcoin is not a pump and dump scheme. If you spent some time studying something about bitcoin, you would have known that. If someone says bitcoin is a bubble, there is at least some meaning in that, although it's not bubble either..
84  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Blockchain Survive Without Bitcoin on: June 04, 2018, 10:16:36 AM


Blockchain Technology was driven to fame by its application on Bitcoin Gold due to its encryption that has been considered hacker proof. Bitcoin has been used as a reference to its success, providing a secure network for users.

The question however is, can blockchain succeed without bitcoin?

blockchain is already much bigger than bitcoin. If you saw the headlines and crypto conferences back in 2012, you would only hear about bitcoin. Now no one is inviting you to bitcoin conference, it's always blockchain that comes first.
85  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do we need to regulate digital money on: June 01, 2018, 11:03:10 AM
Digital currency is to change the world, many of which were positive, to a certain extent, they pose a containment of the government, gave the people an alternative, but that doesn't mean they don't need to be regulated.


One of the core reason is: anonymous, do not track, not regulated digital currency will make form a closed loop technology crime, money laundering and terrorist, and disappear from unsolved bits, bytes, while the impact damage with each person in this world.


If every penny of extortion is tracked, is there enough motivation and courage to launch a WannaCry to attack the world?

I agree with the need for regulation, but it's very delicate and difficult topic. I'm not sure how that should be achieved to be frank, I guess only to issue new KYC focused crypto currencies
86  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How did you recover from your loss in bitcoin investment? on: June 01, 2018, 11:00:19 AM
I know that not all the people out there had gain in bitcoin investment and some of them are losing their money and made a wrong decision which is to sell their bitcoin in low price. So their money was being compromised and that is unfortunate event for them to happen. However, i know that there are also smart people out there who are patiently waiting and now gaining in their loss since they had already the confidence on facing the challenges on. As we all know that all investment has its own risk and bitcoin is no exception for that. Somehow these smart people had already recovering their loss. I just want to figure how they manage to recover it from the fall down.

it's important to realize that there is no loss unless you sell your bitcoins. If you hold them, then you still have the chance to benefit when the prices will grow again.
87  Other / Off-topic / Re: BYE BYE BTC on: June 01, 2018, 10:58:50 AM
Bitcoin is old, outdated, slow and uses too much energy. The price will soon be brought down to a level where miners will abandon it. Prices will continue to be kept lower due to CME futures.

someone is obviously trying to create fud to decrease the price of bitcoin so he can fill in his bags. Guys don't listen to this, I won't even bother to reply to this useless post.
88  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people are still buying Bitcoin? on: June 01, 2018, 10:58:01 AM
If people buy Bitcoin at $8,000, they will get 100% profit only when Bitcoin reaches $16,000. If it takes 5 years to reach $16,000, people will earn more money from Gold and Silver than from Bitcoin. Silver is giving 20% to 35% profit in one year.

Mining cost of one Bitcoin is $5,000 or more. When Bitcoin was $400 or $800 it was understandable because people had to just spend $400 or $800 to get one Bitcoin and $1,200 is super high profits when Bitcoin started from $1.

you don't know how much will the price of bitcoin increase. You also don't know how much will the price of gold increase. Those are just assumptions, it's definitely not the linear growth..
89  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you still use MEW? on: May 27, 2018, 09:38:15 AM
Better using Myetherwallet than some ethereum android wallet.
I do not understand why people still use them, it is very risky, be careful!

right, I'm faithful to myetherewallet, it's a seamless way to access your tokens. There are vulnerabilities related to DNS hacks, but there are the ways to prevent that, mainly to use hardware wallet.
90  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WHAT ARE THE FEATURES OF A GOOD COIN? on: May 27, 2018, 09:37:21 AM
As a newbie,  I want to know the features of a good coin for which its value raise in market. I think its purchasing capability is mainly responsible. What is your logic?

usually the coin increases the value when some new features or platforms are launched, so people start using the coin as natural event to use the features it's offering.
91  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Currency has theability to remove poverty. on: May 27, 2018, 09:36:08 AM
Crypto has gained a significant value in recent time. And I have seen some people who have been able to wash out their miserable by trading in crypto.  In this point I believe crypto has the value than can remove poverty from a country. What is your thought?? Have you seen anyone who have been rich by Crypto??


crypto is not a get rich scheme. At least it's not what it is supposed to be. It could surely help to solve poverty issue by providing people with access to money without a need to rely on central banks.
92  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ⚛️ [ANN] Bitcoin Atom - Fork 1:1 of Bitcoin - Atomic Swap Powered ⚛️ on: May 27, 2018, 09:33:42 AM
Bca autoswap will work at 2020. They only promse many times about releasing GUI AUTOSWAP.  And for long time i did not see any proof about Gui autoswap as process of project. I tink that Team is not enough ability for this project.
If they are clearly why they do not report about process of project. Only promse promse etc...

Exactly. I wouldn't trust this project or any other bitcoin fork honestly.

Atomic swaps need Lightning network which is under development. Bitcoin has a much bigger community and more developers, so I believe I'm being realistic when I say that the chances of BCA getting AW before BTC is 0%.
Work is in progress..
https://medium.com/@akumaigorodski/im-launching-a-lightning-network-on-bca-mainnet-29dda2206047


The first we need to see some proof about GUI autoswap.

If you do not believe in this project, leave it, they told you. You're the most stupid investor, alarmist.


He obviously can't live without BCA, we're flattered Smiley
Many people are doubting that bca is not enough ability for this project. Why they doubt that? Why they doubt Eth, tron, dgb...? I am a investor i want to see some proof about project as process of project. Am i requirements too severe? You are doing the project but you do not report any process of project and you want every one believe you. And after you tell that if do not believe then leave the project. So i am sure that you are not ability and the project is sure to be not finish. You should know that your project is success or not depend on investors. And now many investor are doubting your project. That is a signal of faith melting.
You are allowed to leave if you don’t trust the project. No need to stress just leave, ty
He will not go away, he feels like a hero saving others from investing in BCA.  Putting into doubt, everything is positive that people write and support.
You can anwser why the project started more 5 months but nobody can see any proof GUI Autoswap as process of project? If you can not anwser please do not bark. Let's analy the project on reality basic do not stay a home and bark.

They have already provided the proofs of swaps on testnet while back. Just because you know nothing about the development of blockchain apps, it doesn't mean other people should listen to you. Proofs:

93  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if your dreams can become a reality with crypto? on: May 26, 2018, 05:09:24 PM
We are making project - Dream Cloud. And we are wondering what do people usually dream about? Huh
If you could ask for anything that can be bought, what would it be?
What is your most cherished desire? Cheesy

I'm trying to have no desires, that way the life is more fullfiling and easier. But please don't make up some random project just so you can do an ICO that is not needed at all...
94  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it risky to buy not top 100 crypto currencies? on: May 26, 2018, 05:07:59 PM
Hey what do you think, is it risky to buy crypto currencies that are not top 100? I mean do you have a higher chance to lose your money or not?

it is really risky. It's risky enough to buy top 100, don't get fooled. But smaller market cap means more risk in general, but of course it's all down to very thorough DD on each project.
95  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to gain income from crypto 1k$/month on: May 26, 2018, 05:06:47 PM
I set a goal to reach incom from crypto 1k$/month to live on this earnings and do things that i'm interested in. What would you advise, how could i reach my goal this year?

there is no one who can give you exact plan here what to do to earn that much per month. I honestly can't believe you would ask this question and think that someone just tells you what to do and you make money..
96  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: High taxation risk - India on: May 24, 2018, 02:57:07 PM
I know that official regulations by the government can help to legitimate crypto. However, in India they want to apply a 18% taxation, I think is too much, and investing can be demotivating.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/india-considers-taxing-cryptocurrency-at-18-as-intangible-property-reports

Would you feel more skeptical if you country apply such taxation as well? Or would you be happy because they legitimating crypto ?

I would think of it as a step before the regulation of bitcoin as money. It's necessary for authorities to understand and test it first, 18% tax is bit cruel but it will do the job
97  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: EMAILS AS POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO MAKING CRYPTOCURRENCY MORE ADOPTABLE? on: May 24, 2018, 02:56:11 PM
We all know that in order for bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies to be adopted, the current ecosystem has to be simpler than what it is today. I read in a news that certain developers are creating apps for the purpose of "technical improvement", but I find it sort of a "backward" improvement when an email-based app is being proposed as a solution just for cryptos to be more adoptable. This more like brings out questions rather than answers IMO. What happens to anonymity if these apps are ever developed? Your thoughts?

what email based app? Please if you could elaborate for us to understand, as I haven't heard about it bitcoin. Your point about the general adoption is well addressed, that is hardly missed.
98  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Where to put $20k? on: May 23, 2018, 01:48:08 PM
i would go for an safe way and invest 15k into Bitcoin. The other 5 k i would spread in some promising altcoins. And another Little parrt you can put into icos there are the highest riks but the highest gains aswell possible

yes, I don't think it's necessary to put huge amounts to ICOs as if they work out, then the profit is enormous anyway and if not, well then it's a pure loss. Liquidity is usually pretty small there at the beginning too
99  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coins with Masternode? on: May 23, 2018, 01:46:12 PM
funny to see the conversation from 2016 about the masternodes, still kind of trending. It's obvious that masternodes are becoming less fashionable these days, now we have lightning network Smiley
100  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: You can now buy Apple products with crypto!!! on: May 23, 2018, 01:45:20 PM
Saw this article on The Merkle: https://themerkle.com/now-you-have-another-way-to-pay-for-apple-products/

Guys it's happening. With all of the recent news, it looks like everyone is starting to embrace crypto. I think doing this through stablecoins is the way. What do you guys think?

it's starting, but we're not there quite yet. All of us need to also be willing to spend bitcoins instead of hoarding it, so let's come together and get it done. I'm trying to spend crypto everywhere possible.
