8141  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do people actually buy coins with real life money? on: November 15, 2017, 06:47:22 PM
Now when BC is sky high and ETH also pretty high. DO people even give their real money for those currencies. I mean give 300$ for 1ETH or 6000$ for 1BC is too much for most people.
I mean how often do people buy crypto currency like ETH and BC
Its not actually necessary for a certain person to bought a whole unit of bitcoin or etherium since we do know we can buy it on little parts which means we can still afford and we do able to buy bitcoin even on small amounts but talking about buying as a whole then im sure there are still people who are really willing to buy inspite of its high price because they do have trust on bitcoin or any other altcoins in the market which do have potential on giving them good profits.

Hi,

We have reviewed your account. It looks like someone else logged into your account and sold all of your coins and then tried to turn on 2fa in order to withdraw your funds. We recently added email authentication to turn on 2fa which most likely stopped this person from withdrawing the BTC.

We always recommend using a complex unique password and turning on 2-factor authentication.

Here is the login info of the person who must have your username and password.

Thank you,

So you didn't protect your account and never opened 2FA, and this is definitely hacked by hackers, don't blame bittrex and accuse them a scam, they are the most reliable project.
I dont know why do people do still bumping this issue as i have read this is already 3 year old issue and now its being bumped again and been answering now. This thread should be locked? Its much better to prevent more post regarding on this matter. It is already been answered by bittrex representative above which they do tell thar someone do have logged in on the account. Accusing bittrex directly without any strong proofs isnt really good at all.
8143  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin has more than 21m supply on: November 14, 2017, 09:12:39 PM
With every fork bitcoin supply is increasing so does the bitcoin bubble i mean everyone by now must be know that bitcoin is a bubble. why? every fork is zero to value! bubble!
but in my opinion bitcoin will be bitcoin forks dont matter they just increasing the coins!

every forkable coin will fail in the future.

just my 2 cents
Better to read up on what is fork so that you would able to know whats really the meaning of it.  Grin Just to tell any forks doesnt really affect bitcoins total supply of 21 Million coins. Its just a new chain a new coin been created.
8144  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is Freedom on: November 14, 2017, 07:50:34 PM
You have the freedom because you can spend what you want and what you want to buy with it. If you buy a car with your bank account sometimes the bank will ask you questions.

So they are the owners for your money while with bitcoin you are the real owner of it.

When there is a huge amount of money transfer, the banks can ask for the source of the incoming money. But there is no penalty, they only ask about the source of the money, it is not a problem that bitcoin is causative.
Banks would normally ask on those kind of things regarding on the funds have been transacted specially when it is already on huge amounts. They are not totally the owner of your money but somehow do have the control regarding on the possible transactions you would made. The goodness of bitcoin is that you can anytime hide your money in your own pocket no matter how big it is.
8145  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin CASH will take over BTC ? on: November 13, 2017, 07:59:32 PM
Do you see a pump and dump happening in BCH right now? or is it really taking over Bitcoin? How do you think will it affect other coins when BCH successfully replaced BTC as the top cryptocurrency
Dont get caught yourself on the hype and talking about BCH overtaking BTC is an impossible thing and have you seen the recent price of BCH? It is settled down already and now the people are already going back to BTC as of now which you can see for yourself regarding on their price movements when you do tried up to look into their charts and compare them.
8146  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Losing faith in BTC... on: November 13, 2017, 07:34:42 PM
Why is there always such panic? We are just having another correction caused by the cancellation of the SegWit2x hardfork. It is just a matter of time before everything gets back to normal. We have 180k unconfirmed transactions. Don't you think it is suspicious that it happens right after some group claimed that they have 30% of the hashrate? Bitcoin hashrate dropped almost by 50%.

If you can't handle these ups and downs, I'd seriously sell right now.

this is exaclty true !
lets trust in Bitcoin iam still holding my coins even when its not much coins Cheesy
and now there is another coin witch is >1000$ !
and bitcoin today 8% profit and bitcoincash makes -3%



regards
If you did able to make shortings on those times on bitcoin and you have some investments on bitcoin cash then you are really making money as of now. Panic? Its normal and you cant really avoid that in the community which there are really some people who do easily being affected by emotion when they are already seeing decreasing prices they do easily panic and made bad decisions.
8147  Economy / Economics / Re: How to train your money for costly bitcoin? on: November 10, 2017, 09:18:00 AM
It's really hard now buying bitcoins just worth 100$ now is of no good with all the fees and other extra charges instead you can save up every month and when you have a good amount of funds you can then purchase additional bitcoins the price might change a lot but there is no other option
Yes, nowadays the price of bitcoin is very high but still its not too late and one can get profit by investing in bitcoins. If you want to invest in bitcoin, then it greatly depend on your income. No matter if your income is more or less you just need to make your routine tough and save money to invest in bitcoins. You should start from less amount and then slowly rise, I think this will give you a fine profit.
Just remember to allocate your funds into in a wise way which you would really only invest on the amounts which are extra and not being used on your daily expenses or living because we do know bitcoin investment doesnt guaranteed to last forever thats why we should really expect on those unexpected things to happen on which if we do only invest amounts that we can afford to lose up then it wont really make us totally wreck.
8148  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in College??? on: November 09, 2017, 01:11:48 PM
Bitcoin as a course or any related currency on web.
In my country we have multiple courses in computer especially programing and web developments. My course is also information technology, but i've never heard or learn about online currency as bitcoin. In present, and future studies is there any chances for inserting about it in education. In your country is it available?
It would be better for any country to adopt bitcoin in educating new generations. Instead of playing games and wasting money in surfing xxx sites.
Bitcoin is not yet legalized in some countries, so it is impossible that bitcoin can be a college course. But your right it will be much better if bitcoin will be a college course because it will be helpful for students that their earnings can be used in their studies like paying their tuitions.
It would be great if the government would really decide to add up that thing but it would really be impossible for them to do such thing which i do believe on adding up bitcoin on the curriculum because they do know the disadvantage of it inspite on its benefits that it gives into its users. Earning bitcoin or money would really be beneficial specially on those students which they can even possibly support their studies on that.
8149  Economy / Economics / Re: Was Bitcoin actually just a Pump and Dump? on: November 09, 2017, 12:31:12 PM
I am not saying that this is impossible but pumping and dumping bitcoin is highly unlikely.  First there are a lot of coins that are really cheap that they can pump and dump. Second pumping and dumping bitcoin will take billions to influence the market. Third there are a lot of bitcoin investors who are already educated with the bitcoin projection, even though Bitcoin price drops this people  will not  panic sell they will just hold it. There are a lot of assets like stocks, commodities or alt coins that they can pump and dump so bitcoin is most likely they will avoid.

If they can pump and dump bitcoin most likely this are group of filthy rich , influential and very greedy people.  
The pump and dump in the cryptocurrency market like bitcoin is very possible because since it is decentralized then there are no basis for the possible movement or there are no patterns that the bitcoin market is following because it is completely dependent to the demand of the people in the market. It doesn't mean that if it is expensive then the pump and dump is not possible because pump and dump is applicable to all of the markets and kinds of stocks like cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin has the pump and dump, you have to remember there's no reason can makes the price of Bitcoin increased to $6,000 and keep its price until today. The price of Bitcoin controlled by the whale, therefore, when they don't want to the price of Bitcoin decreases, they buy a huge amount of Bitcoin and create the bullish trend in the market.
I do not think that whales can create bullish trends, they will need to invest more money in bitcoin at bad prices and that is not what they do, what they are experts in doing is in dumping the price of bitcoin thanks to their huge stashes of coins then when the price gets that low they buy their bitcoin at cheaper prices than the price they sold.
Bullish trend is possible but knowing whales they wont really do such thing since they are just the sparkler of a certain price manipulation either on dump or pump scheme. In altcoins its possible but talking on bitcoin then its an another story no matter how big their stashes is .Price cant really be affected too much unless if they hold hundreds of thousands then its possible.
8150  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it time to Buy Alts & Hold??? on: November 08, 2017, 07:01:05 PM
Hello. Alts are going up at the moment but I think they will go down before the bitcoin fork. So buy it than and stay patience. Do your own research.


Cheers
We do know the recent update regarding on fork status which it ends up that it being cancelled already which means no fork would happen on this november 2nd week. Price would really react on this one and we should really prepare for corrections after such update. For those people who did bought bitcoin on peak prices would really have the worry specially if the people would decide to take profits and switch back to altcoins again. Best time to buy since altcoins are on bargain now.
8151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Saving Bitcoins for your Children. on: November 08, 2017, 06:33:59 PM
I was thinking about savings bitcoin for my future children but seems it will took 5 years before i have a children i want to enjoy my life and i want to use that in the future if im having a baby with my future wife. Of course i can use that money in the future but if im going to hold that for that long and have a doubt of bitcoin dying then i have a choice to use it while im waiting for my kid to have a full process of his brain before im going to teach him about bitcoin.
Goodluck buddy on finding your future wife so that you can able to make your own baby. Saving up bitcoin would really have somehow advantage because of its increasing prices.We cant be sure if it would still rise up on those future years but somehow a good idea to accumulate some of it intended for future purposes. We do really like to ensure the future of our upcoming siblings.
8152  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the world really needs virtual currencies on: November 02, 2017, 05:19:06 PM
For the simple fact of fast transactions between A person (from X country) and B person (from Y country).
Blockchain technology provides transparency which is a great thing too. And no middle-man anymore.
This is what i like on bitcoin transfers which you can simply transfer money on other side of the world to another side without any problems. Less fee plus less hassle which would really be a great thing for you to make payments specially to your loved ones.World does need virtual currencies to fasten up transactions even more by using those things but i do believe bitcoin wont really be considered for government to be indorsed to make use of.
8153  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Investing all my savings! on: November 02, 2017, 02:49:25 PM
The raito of your amount is good but i offer you make some daily trade big a small amount of your budget. Perhaps %5-10. Follow some altcoins and buy from dip. Don't forget to use stoploss and take profit.
Day trade is not what someone can delve into without some knowledge and it all depends on the OP time as well. Sure, day trade can be very effective in making some cool bucks and adding to what you have, but it all still balls down to the aspect of knowing what to do.

It is not all about buying at dips and then selling at peaks, there are just some dips you think are dips which they end up not being and then if you are not good enough to make decisions, so many people fumble it up which is why the OP should thread carefully before considering any day trading option.
If you are still newbie on trading industry then better not to rush up on day trading because this is one of the most hardest way of trading and more riskier than on long term traders.I can say that there were only a small percentage of day traders yet this kind of trading way is really hard to achieve and same as you said it would really require sufficient time because most of the time you would really check price from time to time and actively. We should really expect the unexpected.
8154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 13 hours and counting on: November 01, 2017, 04:14:43 PM
Sent 0.016 btc to someone 13  hours ago......seen by 8 peers, still an unconfirmed transaction.
It never used to be like this.....the only drawback of bitcoin in my opinion.
 Undecided

how many fee do you use in sending transaction? If you use low fee this would take some time to be confirmed. See recommended miner fee here https://bitcoinfees.21.co/. For now had you tried https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ for accelerating your transaction. This may help for your fast confirmed.
If you do try out to see the tx hash which is 218b2bc26e973eecae4ae721519da5347fbbc774618d569f16126faa00a3be84 you would able to see that he did put 41 sat.byte which we do see that it is very low and expect miners wont really easily considered those transactions  and as ive seen it is still unconfirmed as of now and theres no even a single confirmations.No one could say on when it would push through.
8155  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoins are dying on: November 01, 2017, 02:58:20 PM
In a metaphorical sense yes altcoins might be dying. But they don't die as long as people want it and buy it. Enough with the FUD, and let us big boys decided by ourselves which coin we are going to invest and hold.
Altcoin were too many to die,maybe some alt mah die but it is impossible tgat all of them will lose their value,some alts are used specifically and are really useful to die.
That is their market, some have something and plan for the future and the possibility of development and some unfortunately do not and therefore have to go into oblivion.

Just normal to think off that coins would either succeed or die completely.It does really depend completely on community if it would gain some support or not. This is why project owners would really launch projects which would really have some real life usage so that people would see its usefulness and might possibly traded actively by it.
8156  Economy / Economics / Re: Why people scam on: October 31, 2017, 04:19:38 PM
People scam because they are in need an instant money. Or maybe because when they tried to deceive someone at first, they successfully tricked him, so that's why that they tried to scam for other people again.

People scam because they are the person who do not know how to work legally, those people should be put in jail and stop fooling people because it just a money. People should be more careful nowadays.
People who scam are aware of the laws and restriction. It is not that they dont know how to work legally. It is just that they want to make tons of money without working.Here we shall not discuss the people who scam others out of dire need of money (like life and death situation of their loved one and their intension is to return money in future). people who live their life by scamming other people are either too smart, think that they could fool other people all the time.
Bottom line is it is the greed combined intention to earn quick money enables people to scam others. Sometimes people scam other people without knowing that they are conning someone. That I mean kingpin brainwashes these people and convinces that their project is the path to prosperity. Soon these brainwashed people who are getting their cut/commission for every customer they get, self-assure themselves that they are on right path.
Yes they are aware of all the laws rules and regulation but despite of that they scam because of the easy way to earn money without any skill or effort. There are so many reasons behind a person who stating to scam people. Nothing is easy, but they make it easy when they deceive people. And what I think is the main goal behind their scamming is easy money without too much effort.
Deceiving is the most important thing to be done by those scammers which this is the part where they would get easy money. People are naturally greedy and because of this thing people do easily got fall into the trap of those scammers.Reasons would really vary on a certain individual but the most common thing on here is the easy money that they could get without too much effort.
8157  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: job and trading together.. on: October 31, 2017, 02:19:21 PM
You need a lot of time for trading especially in the beginning phase because you have to study a lot. Maybe you can start with a training account and not directly with real invests. But I think it’s possible also to do it with a job e.g. in the morning / evening / weekend.
Doing trading along with some permanent kind of job is quite a difficult thing but there is nothing in this possible which you cannot do.

If you can manage your time in a way that you can do both the things simultaneously, then this is going to be the best thing which you can do for having a good amount of earning. It will help in living a very comfortable life and you will be able to earn a very huge amount of money.
This is right if you do able to handle or allocate your time correctly then it would really be an advantage for you to make more money together with you job and bitcoin as a sideline.It would really be difficult if the nature of your work is very busy no matter how you do strive on handling your time it would not be possible.Some people do already quit their job and go full time with bitcoin.
8158  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The potential of eBTC. on: October 31, 2017, 12:41:21 PM
eBTC has been through a crazy ride and its only about a month old.  It's a new start and looks this thing is going to moon like crazy.  I'm thinking its going to be a rise like how bitconnect did .10 cents to 200 dollars in less than a year.  

The eBTC thread already has over 300 pages in a month which is pretty ridiculous.  It's a fast, new, fair version of bitcoin that gives everybody a chance.  A lot of copycat scams try to release after the success of ebtc but they have died.

The swap has taken place and everything i set.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2210565.0;topicseen
If you do consider its price when it was just starting up it did already hype its price which those airdrop earners did really make some money when it did hype up but it did dump again its price again and stabilize as of this state. I dont see anything special on this coin but it just being hype up because of bitcoin name being attached to its name.This is just a normal erc20 token like others.
8159  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Are we Seeing a pullback in ICO investments on: October 29, 2017, 04:13:25 PM
Are we seeing a pullback in ICO investing During the Oct period?

Due to recent ICO's not gaining once they hit market or also the fact we have had alot of new money come into ICO's over the recent months.

Why do you think there is less investment into ICO's if you think there is less
I would say that if there would be less investments then expect it can really affect price movements.Pull backs are normal specially on events.When we do talk about ETH progress or its growth it is mainly affected because of ICO. Cashing out and cashing in on those projects that do exist every now and then. Dumping and pumping money. Pullbacks are normal.
8160  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin to be Taxed...... on: October 29, 2017, 03:00:13 PM
if government is to accept bitcoin as currency, then surely they would issue tax since some of the government funds comes from currency then people have and if people will change their currency to bitcoin, then bitcoin would be taxed.

Nope, there is no way bitcoin are going to be taxed because there is a limit with the coin. Compare to the fiat, they can keep making it which is if there is more fiat then you will lose your money value and that will make your country economy clash mean while bitcoin, government can't produce it and everyone is holding their own coin so how can they control and making taxed with it? It does not really added up
Not only that which come to think off that bitcoin is a decentralized stuff and they cant directly impose taxes on it which means they would rather choose up or redirect on the services being used by bitcoin.This is why most government doesnt really like bitcoin overall not only on the thing that they cant tax but also they are seeing on the potential criminality increase because of its anonymity.
