8101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would you promote bitcoin if you were Jack Dorsey (twitter's big boss)? on: October 17, 2020, 04:07:11 AM
Him being really public about it is good enough in my opinion; as you can only go so far in "promoting" something. I mean, dude has "#bitcoin" in his Twitter bio. Him providing people access to bitcoin through Cash App and funding Bitcoin development through Square is miles more important in my book.

Wallets in our smartphones can be quite handy in many situations, I keep little amount of bitcoins in my android electrum for any emergency conversion in case if I lost my wallet any day but its definitely not recommended for primary wallets.

I apologize, I re-read what you've said in the past quote, and for some reason I missed the "bug" word. I thought you were referring to the crappy FreeWallet mobile app that for some reason some dude here in Bitcointalk was recommending it to people.
8103  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any Crypto with stable change and good trading volume? on: October 16, 2020, 09:40:55 AM
As for anything else besides stablecoins? Nah. Holding anything related to cryptocurrencies that isn't a stablecoin is almost guaranteed to be very volatile in terms of price. We could say that a "gold-backed" stablecoin might work as said by NeuroticFish, but unfortunately PAX Gold(PAXG) and Tether Gold(XAUT) ain't available on Binance.

Also, if there was a coin that's stable and has the potential to go up, chances are, that coin also has a chance to go down, completely negating the "stable" characteristic that you wanted.

Just a heads up. For those of you who has some extra sats to contribute to developers, here's an open-source donation page for a some developers of different bitcoin-related projects, made by Matt Odell(you'd know him if you're a Twitter dude): https://bitcoindevlist.com/

Not sure of how a "shortage" of bitcoin is possible. Maybe I'm completely misunderstanding his definition of "shortage", but I'm pretty sure there will always be people selling bitcoin. The question is, at what price? Also assuming that there might be lot of people that are planning on selling at break-even prices(probably 17k-19k), a "shortage" might be a bit too farfetched at least in the mid-term.

I checked HodlHodl's Belgium markets for you, and there are a few buy and sell offers available from people with decent amounts of reputation. I'd suggest doing smaller transactions at a time though, just to be sure. Watch out for scammers.

Binance is better in the case of the best wallet to integrate those who want to invest securely in bitcoin some of the wallets have more features than others including the ability to store more cryptocurrencies than just bitcoin and the associated security measures.

Binance is mainly an exchange though, and should only be used for it's obvious main purpose— to exchange bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Nothing more, nothing less.

Most of the android crypto wallet often have bugs so having bug free wallet app will give best user experience.

That's probably the worst wallet I know and definitely the last wallet I would suggest upon literally anyone; it's just so bad that I would rather suggest people to leave their funds on exchanges like Coinbase and Binance.

Screw cryptocurrencies, focus on bitcoin and the supplementary topics such as investing and finance. You're just going to mostly waste your time if you're going to focus on cryptocurrencies as a whole.

Though the BlueWallet mobile wallet fortunately now has their own privacy feature(Payjoin)[1], I'd want a mobile wallet with a coinjoining feature like how Wasabi Wallet[2] does it.

Besides that? I couldn't think of much to be honest, as BlueWallet is a pretty good wallet in my opinion that has my needs.

While BisQ is mostly P2P, HodlHodl rely on single website/server, so it's also could be blocked by Russia government.

True. But regardless, I'd still recommend HodlHodl far more than LocalBitcoins simply due to the fact that HodlHodl doesn't require KYC(at least currently.. *fingers crossed*).

Fortunately, even if it's the case that you're not really fluent with English, it's totally fine as long as we could at least understand what you're saying. There are a few good Legendary members that doesn't have perfect English grammar but is good enough to understand. Of course, it doesn't mean that you should stop learning. Fortunately there are tons and tons of free English courses online.

Best of luck forward and congratulations!
8113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hardware Cryptowallet with Fingerprint Authorization on: October 15, 2020, 05:39:13 AM
I completely get that these sort of "cool features" are nice, I think it's really a bit too much and a bit too unnecessary. For a smartphone that I pretty much use everyday and I have on my hand a lot of times? Makes complete sense. For a hardware wallet that has my funds that I mostly just hold and just transact from time to time? A bit unnecessary. A cheap small Ledger Nano S or Trezor One is enough for me.
8114  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russia blocks localbitcoins on: October 15, 2020, 05:32:04 AM
More reasons for people to use other better P2P exchanges such as HodlHodl[1] and Bisq[2]. Like seriously, LocalBitcoins should be irrelevant know due to pretty much little to no difference between these exchanges(besides probably the thicker orderbooks on LocalBitcoins).

Legit ung alin specifically? Have been seeing this dude a lot since 2017, and it looks like knowledgeable trader lang naman siya na really active sa pagshare ng charts and ideas niya. So far mukhang wala naman ata siyang binebenta na course or something.
8116  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I Don't undestood why not use funds to earn stable profit on: October 14, 2020, 03:03:29 PM
From what i heard about bitcoin some says that generate a profit from it was can be huge as what we are expecting but i already have an idea also that generate a profit from it was not as easy as im expecting most especially generate a profit from trading. Trading for me was a riskiest thing that could be imagine in crypto. No assurance if you will going to win, no assurance if you can maintain if the amount that you've invested be still the same if ever or worst case scenerio to lost all of them. As what i have said it is not easy to gain profit in trading research, learning from past mistakes even learning from your losses would be your best teacher here.

It's precisely the reason why day trading is being shunned in a lot of communities, and why long-term investing is being recommended a lot more. In my opinion, it's a lot better to just invest in something you believe in, and at the same time, start a business that you're really interested in. That for me is a life a lot more worth living compared to staring at charts all day.
8117  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I Don't undestood why not use funds to earn stable profit on: October 14, 2020, 01:24:42 PM
1. It's going to be difficult to find traders that actually has a good past record of trading profit.
2. Even if a certain trader's past records are pretty good, "Past performance is no guarantee of future results".
3. Personally, I trust my investments and I know what I'm capable of; simply because I've done extensive research on my investments. I'd assume the newbies will also have the same reasoning.
8118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin legit or not on: October 14, 2020, 11:10:56 AM
You do realize that you're on the Bitcointalk forum, right? What opinions were you even expecting? Heavy criticism? The reason were into bitcoin in the first place because a lot of us don't trust fiat money and central banks.
8119  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How the world counter attack against cryptocurrencies on: October 14, 2020, 08:03:10 AM
its not that they're ignoring the fact that the cryptos were destroying their businesses or stocks or the system of every nation's currencies,
Wait what? crypto is destroying what stock and what businesses?

fiat or crypto? or both?

gold or crypto? or both?
You're comparing mostly two different things here. Each has their own uses.

what would happen if the world abolish the use of paper-made money and adopt whole-heartedly the effectiveness of cryptocurrencies?
If governments would abolish physical cash, they would go with online services such as Venmo, PayPal, and Cash App. For some reason a lot of people think that online transactions automatically means the usage of cryptocurrencies. Definitely not.

what nations could possibly rise if theres no more fiat in the world?
It's unrealistic for you to think that governments worldwide would stop the distribution and usage of fiat lol.

the world may never be the same as today, are you prepared and ready for it?
Your idea of the future is quite far-fetched.

"First they ignore us, then they laugh at us, then they fight us, then we win."

I'm not sure where this quote originally came from(but I remember reading it on Andreas Antonopoulos' book), but that quote is sure damn coming into play slowly but surely.
