8181  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin can be about $ 5000 or not? on: June 25, 2018, 09:53:55 PM

The market continues to go down, there is a lot of good news but not push up the bitcoin price, trading volume is very low. I think there will be another sharp drop again to try the rest of the market to see Would you like to sell or not. Do you think bitcoin can be about $ 5000?

Yes it possible even lower than that. Actually all things have chances to happend so brace yourselves.

But looking on a positive side, bitcoin price has now passed again the $6,000 price level and now sitting at $6,200 as of this writing. The bottom only lasts for short period time meaning we can assume that the support at around $6,000 is fairly strong. Honestly this has been the scenario for more weeks now. We just don't know if the market test will continue.

Now that we are in the situation like this for long period of time, surely we are now used to it and able to think some of the good strategies to cope up with the situation.

NBA Coach of the Year
- Brad Stevens, Boston Celtics

We have almost the same pick although in Coach of the Year, Im also eyeing for Quin Snyder for Coach of the Year because he able to guide Utah Jazz without much big names (or even close to All-Star) and able to finished a good spot in playoffs.

I agree with you (because I am a Warrior fan Grin). If they will not change the current roster of the team especially the starters, they can dominate for 2-3 years maybe before a team can defeat them in the playoffs. Maybe if Lebron will go to Houston with Harden, Paul, Capela, and another all star player then there is a chance that Warriors will be defeated.

No way Houston Rockets can acquired LeBron James without sacrificing one of their key players. Rockets doesn't have enough space for LeBron and for one other superstar. The only team that can managed "now" to hold LeBron James plus one or two superstars is Los Angeles Lakers.

Edit: 76ers have just created enough potential salary cap space to ink James to a max contract in free agency with the chance to be paired alongside rising stars in Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. Source

Watch out for 76ers and Celtics these season. They have a young roster but we saw that they clinched in the playoffs especially the Celtics who doesn't have Irving and Hayward and yet they reached the ECF.

Yes these 2 teams are must to watch. They are young and start from scratch. Although 76ers' Ben Simmons show less aggressive during their game against the Boston Celtics last playoffs he shows good performance throughout the season. Looks like Embiid's "Trust the Process" system are now slowly in effect.

In Boston Celtics, it's a quiet a blessing in disguised that Kyrie Irving got injured. It gives way for more playing time to Terry Rozier and able to show what he can really do. Irving returned might reduced Rozier's playing time. Well depend on Brad Stevens how will he managed to rotate it.

Is Dirk still playing this year?

Yes he announced it and I watched it live. It was way back April before the playoffs started if Im not mistaken.

He is now closed in passing Wilt Chamberlain's total points and if injury will not struck him this upcoming season he will able to passed the legend. Nowitzki is currently at 31,187 pts. and Chamberlain have 31,419. Michael Jordan have 32,292 points and if Dirk will goal to passed this too, he needs another season to do it. Well record matters now before going retirement lol.
8183  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best way for marketing a new crypto? on: June 25, 2018, 09:05:56 PM
My question is mainly how to do the marketing if you are launching a new crypto currency step by step ?

You can refer on other ICO's way of marketing:

a) Helding a bounty campaign here in bitcointalk*

b) Opening a signature campaign (WEEKLY btc payment) here in bitcointalk*

c) Placing ads on social media platforms

d) Placing ads on Youtube (the one shown before viewing any videos)

e) Doing a regular meetups and seminars discussing the projects goal in public

f) Non stop advertising at any means

*you can considered other crypto related forums too

Honestly marketing cryptos needs more dedication than when the time you are planning it. Proper execution is a must and accept that it will be a difficult way. Sometimes you need to spend big money on it even without an assurance that it will be paid off. Goodluck anyways.

8184  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reason to stay in this bear market. on: June 25, 2018, 08:37:14 PM
We are in a bear but still there's  a lot of reason why you should stay, and I listed some of those good things to stay calm and why you need to trust this market again.

1. Cryptocurrency can bounce back high in this current dump because of its own technology. the potential growth of this market is still 101%.

2. Bear market is normal, and if you look at any market after the dump there will always a rebound, where its possible to make a new all time high.

3. Now why some countries make bitcoin legal? Why some big personality invest in some project? Well, its simply because they saw a great potential for this cryptomarket, and you should too.

This may not help you to stay calm and stop panicking but try to imagine the market five years from now. Any thoughts why people should stay in this market?

Bear market is part of the trading ecosystem. It should happened to spoiled the trend and destroy the fake pump. Without it, no cheap coins will be sold to us. Without it, we will never know how strong the support is for a specific coin. Without it, we will be forced to buy at higher prices.

How come people will leave just because of this market phenomena? No way we can experienced a continous uptrend therefore same goes for a downtrend. Just move forward and play with the game. No room for weak heart in crpyto.

8186  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC will not perish on: June 25, 2018, 07:29:09 PM
Bitcoin is too resilient to perish though there are fluctuations in the prices on the market. Market will soon stabilize in no time.Do you believe that?

The sayings about bitcoin will be done for are just brought because of the recent market situation, or should I say the market situation after hitting the ATH that started during the first quarter of the year. It shows that people only used to experienced a continous uptrend especially those who just started last year where bitcoin's performance show an unstoppable uptrend.

There are lots of reasons to believed that bitcoin price will soon bump again. We just have to "trust the process".
8187  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you have another job besides being a Bounty Hunter? on: June 25, 2018, 06:10:39 PM
I understand that being a bounty Hunter can make money and improve the family economy, but do you have other jobs? because if I just rely on money from Bounty I think it will not be enough.


Don't ever rely on bounty works to provide money for you especially for the purpose of supporting your general needs. Although it's proven that it's possible to earned decent rewards from doing bounties, there is always an associated risks doing this. We are not talking about simple risks here as the status of bounty works today is different compare back then. Time consuming, risks of not being paid, low rewards, low market value etc. are some of the risks that a bounty hunters is facing. Lucky if the coin rewards will hit the market with good price and strong community but chances are not that high even how good the project is.

Not a mandatory to have another jobs but it's good to have some sort of backup source of income just in case of failed bounty campaign. Not just in crypto world, but it's really a must that we have another option in terms of financial support. In my case, I have my own and doing crypto works as side works.
8188  Economy / Currency exchange / Buying Paypal Funds to Bitcoin (some questions first) on: June 25, 2018, 03:45:22 PM
I want a quick $50 Paypal funds in exchange of my bitcoin. Will used it on online store and Paypal is the only payment method available. I don't really have an idea about using Paypal now (last used was nearly almost a decade now).

a) Can I still received Paypal funds and used it freely without a verified account? Back then Im receiving funds without a verified account.

b) Can I purchased something using Paypal as payment method without a verified account?

Thanks.

Just want to add that other airdrop forms misleads some newbies.

Example:

Public Key (which should be an ETH address). Others fill-up this form with their Private Keys out of confusion.

No matter how good the vision of any project, don't share them your private keys obviously. I will try to dig some airdrops where I saw that form as an example.
8190  Economy / Speculation / Re: When is bitcoin bouncing back on: June 25, 2018, 02:41:08 AM
We have been experiencing serious downtrend in bitcoin. Some people have been holding bitcoin since alt high $19500 December last year till date $6761 (six months ago).

My question is When are we going to experience pump/bouncing back to previous alt high?

No one knows and never it will.

People that really wants to hold for long especially those who still holding their $19,000+ price per coin considered their holdings now as loss and start again another journey. In that way, once bitcoin experienced a tremendous jumped again, their considered loss coins that literally they still hold, will now back again in action.

It's been several months that we are experiencing a majority action from the bears. In that timeframe, we should now learned how to deal on it and not be confused on what to do.
8191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: June 25, 2018, 02:27:40 AM
What do you think about Mavs, guys?
They might be interesting this season.
They acquired 3rd pick on Draft Luka Dončić and with some more players they can fight for Playoffs.
Since they have space in cap salary, they can sign one Center, even maybe Cousins or Capela.

Starting five: Dennis Smith Jr., Luka Dončić, Wesley Mathews, Harrison Barnes, Center
On bench they would have: JJ Barea, Dirk Nowitzki, Nerlens Noel...

Interesting team to watch next season Smiley

Surprised that someone here is interested in Dallas Mavericks. Smiley I followed this team since 2003 and always updated at some of the happenings in the squad.

As far as the latest rumor is concern, some of the names that they might get this summer is DeMarcus Cousins and DeAndre Jordan. Clint Capela is just an option because it will depend on Rockets marketing as in the first place, they really want to retain Capela. But the story will changed if Rockets will really target Paul George or LeBron James. Well let's just see the progress.

Cousins on the other hand still will not seen on action during the early phase of the season so still Mavs aren't sure if they will take the shot of this guy as part of rebuilding process. They need more young guys to fulfill their first squad. Smith Jr. able to make good stats last season as a rookie and I see he will be one of the future face of the Maveriks. On the other hand, Im hoping that Doncic will do the same or much even better.
8192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty Hunters the cause of token dumping ? on: June 25, 2018, 02:10:42 AM
Bounty hunters are alwasy blame for selling their tokens so quickly without waiting for the project develpment as outline in the roadmap.  I don't think bounty hunters are to blame because a lot of bounty hunters hold their coins for years.

Just a quick answer: NO.

You can always check the allocated amount given to the bounties. It was really way too small compare to other part of the distribution allocation. And besides, I doubt all bounty hunters will sold their coins at the same time so just do the math on how much was only sold by them. Not even can shake the market for high percentage.

Just a bit of offtopic but funny thing here is, some person that part of the project itself, especially those who are assigned to moderate their respective telegram group, always blame bounty hunters that's why their tokens decrease it's price.
8193  Economy / Speculation / Re: How long will the bear market last? on: June 25, 2018, 01:50:45 AM
Hello community. The market is in a bearish trend for several months. One says that "sharks" create panic with the help of news, forcing small holders of bitcoins to sell themselves to buy cheap, others say that at the end of 2018 bitcoin will soar like a rocket. Many people write and speak on this topic. How do you think how long the bear market will last? Share your opinions.

No way we can find out when is the actual or closed time that this bearish market will last. This is how unpredictable the market is making it more risky. Rather than to think when will the bearish market will end, let's find a way to take this situation into our advantage. We all know that bearish market will bring more cheap coins therefore majority will still wait for more price decrease. Considered this trend as an opportunity to fulfill our respective stash.

Remember that there is always an end for every trend, whether for bullish or bearish, so better be ready.
8194  Economy / Speculation / Re: How high would Bitcoin go with McAfee as president? on: June 19, 2018, 04:10:12 PM
Recently, McAfee said that he was going to run for POTUS. Of course he is a realist and knows he isn't going to win, but will try to spread awareness on Bitcoin during the campaign, unfortunately he will most likely pump a lot of shitcoins along the way too, but who cares, just imagine the price of Bitcoin with a him in the Whitehouse. I think it would reach his $1,000,000 prediction overnight.

http://bitcoinist.com/john-mcafee-running-us-president-2020/

Just for fun, since we all know he will never be president, but this is the speculation subboard after all.

As considered one of the highest people recognized by the world, yes he can pushed up the price of bitcoin price in overnight but not to around $1,000,000 but enough to start a hype that can shake the market. It will be globally televised and will reached the attention of different people in different sector.

Why he can pushed bitcoin price that far? First of all, why he become elected? Surely he have some of platforms and agenda that majority agrees and have a fixed plan for much better development of the country. Therefore all that will came on his mouth will have an impact even for miscellaneous things.

But again, don't take my statement seriously and literally. We are just having a "what if" here so we will disregard those things that really will happened on the way.
8195  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Should I buy the current ICO? on: June 19, 2018, 02:23:28 PM
When the market in the uptrend of ICOs after the listing on the stock market has increased sharply, however, the ICO market is quite bleak. Currently, I do not buy ICO anymore because there are too many risks and I just joined the buy when it went to the floor, the profit may be less but the risk is reduced.How do you think about this problem?

It will depend on your risk tolerance and what's your view about a certain ICO.

No doubt that some of the ICO's today are not that productive and one the reason of is because the current market situation. Now analyzed the situation and spend time brainstorming if you think you should participate in an ICO again. I don't want to suggest what exactly you will do because we have different approaches and view about joining and participating in an ICO.

Goodluck for making an analyzation.

What's up Los Angeles Lakers fan? You want LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard in one single team of yours? Grin

Didn't you know how difficult it is to grouped that set of players?

Lakers can able to land at least 2 of them and it will required lots of talks. But for all of them, there are lots of considerations that needed to be take placed and the timeframe before season opener isn't enough to finalized the deal.
Let's bring back the fun again in the Lakers, after Kobe, Lakers is no longer a threat in the west.
I think with Kawhi playing with the lakers, it will make other star players interested because he know Leonard is a good leader and can bring
the team to the toughest competition which is the playoffs.

Honestly the only one who is closed to being a Lakers next season is Paul George. Remember that his really targeting to become a Lakers player especially that is his hometown. PG is expecting to play at OKC at one season only but now let's see if OKC will do something to retain this player.

Kawhi Leonard still on question but the rumor now goes that he wants to play at the East. Damn rumors always popped up.
8197  Economy / Speculation / Re: What kind of price movement do you want for Bitcoin? on: June 19, 2018, 01:13:34 PM
I was wondering what price movement would suit your investment strategy in Bitcoin the best?

I understand the economy and that something that was inflated like that, would have to go through a correction phase, but when will things go back to normal, so that we can start making small profits again? 

I think the question should be what is our investment strategy depends on the price movement of bitcoin. Obviously what others want is continuous uptrend but since it's impossible to have that kind of phase for long period, we should be the one who have to adjust and not bitcoin price movement will adjust for us.

Ups or downs, continous ups, continous downs, roller coaster price, price crash etc. different traders have different approach on this so we have to adjust our strategies based on the situation. Even if I will answer that uptrend is the best price movement to suit my investment strategy, no way I can stick to that as price fluctuates too much.
8198  Other / Off-topic / Re: Backup is important on: June 19, 2018, 12:44:31 PM
Good day, just want to share my experience,
I am using 2fa as my security in my emails and exchange accounts, so one day I nearly lost my phone and that phone holds majority of my pins, 2fa, etc. so I thought I lost all, luckily I found the phone. So now I'm thinking of buying an extra phone for backup. What else do you recommend for backup?

2FA is for security purposes only but when there is a time that you lost your credentials here, then you are really fu****-up.

Having a backup is an obvious thing to do not just in crypto world but for all your important files e.g notes, passwords, payments list, private keys (crypto), PIN (bank) and many more. My usual practice is storing it in an offline flash drive and to my external HDD.

So now I'm thinking of buying an extra phone for backup. What else do you recommend for backup?

Extra phone costs much but if you afford it then it's your decision. Backups can be done at flash drive, external hdd, cloud backup, simple draft in email provider (yahoo, google) , google drive, dropbox etc. It's up to you where you think it will be safe.
8199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's required to get listed on exchanges? on: June 19, 2018, 12:27:14 PM
I'm a little curious, why does it take so long to list a coin on an exchange.

Do exchanges charge money from the developers or just a trading fee from the traders?

If a coin doesn't get listed in a very long time, will the project fail?
The more interesting a project will be the faster it can get into the list of an exchange. It also depends on the cooperation undertaken by the project developers and how the development prospects of the project in the market. Even to enter a classy exchange that requires a lot of supporting factors. Yes can be said at this time is not easy to enter an exchange.

But does it require them to pay a certain amount before they join?

The process are vary per exchanges. If a certain project shows strong and significant impact to the investors to the point that it causes hype within a not so long period of time, chances that it will land to exchange without any hassle requirements may be granted in no time.

Listing fees yes it has but even a project does have enough budget to fulfill the fees, it doesn't mean they will be listed right away at some of the popular and big exchange.

That's why for a start you can see tokens only landed on mid exchanges and sometimes not so popular while they are waiting for big exchanges to process their respective applications.

If the project will be failed if no listing happened? It depends if the development is continous and active.
