8301  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Cryptocurrency prices falling on: July 23, 2018, 05:51:57 AM
Altcoins are dropping in bitcoin prices but when we look at it in dollar perspective they are still quite close to what they were. However the important part we should focus on is the bitcoin dominance of the market, which is going really high. Anytime bitcoin dominance went up two things happen.

Either bitcoin will go back down and altcoins will go back up and nothing changes in dollar value OR bitcoin will stay around the same levels and altcoins will increase with the new money coming in, which fuels bitcoin higher as well. Anything may happen but I am sure only the reason backed altcoins are going to saty with us and the rest may go delisted from the exchanges. This is what had happened in the past and hence may happen again.

We must choose altcoins carefully, this is the only thing we must learn from here.
8302  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crash recoveries are not moons on: July 22, 2018, 11:21:34 AM
if the price reaches to $20000, it will not be moon for the price but it will recover its previous highest price. The moon will start from that point. It will take long time and only cool people can wait till that time. I have also invested for long term and will wait till the price reach to $25000.
You may find your party soon. I am also expecting a new ATH within this year that may be your target or beyond that also. But most people here are not understanding the nature of bitcoin markets. We were in a bear trend and all these things are normal and the same way most times we get to see some corrections during an uptrend is also something that should be expected. Yes, I am denoting the overall uptrend of entire bitcoin market in long run. Nothing is new and it happens in every other market. When there is a full recovery, we will get to know but rather than call these flags recovery, it is just some little bit of correction during the downtrend and nothing new about it. Crashes and recoveries are just the nature of market behavior and we cannot be relax about them as they may happen at any time and in random manner too.
8303  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Altcoins and bitcoin - Where is the good investment now? on: July 22, 2018, 10:51:06 AM
Bitcoin is good investment now but not the best one, I would invest in coins that will be listed on coinbase because they have broader vision.
Every market is hard and highly volatile, most especially the altcoin market. The mistake a lot of us make is that we tend to center our mind hugely on the idea of holding by all means without knowing that learning how to trade can simply help us to get the best from the market both in the short and in the long term.

I actually decided to make do with trading and learn a lot since I just saw the nature of the bitcoin market volatility and how fast it can drop and I would rather take advantage of those fluctuations than keep holding. I personally suggest to go for bitcoin if you are not good at trading but must hold for years to get better benefits whereas all the altcoins may not give this promise. Hence bitcoin must be the better choice for everyone here.
8304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sometimes enough is enough on: July 22, 2018, 08:39:00 AM
I do not have anything as bad as this when it happened but when I look back on it at hindsight I have even worse.
I had about 2.2 bitcoin lost on gambling at one sit down but it was years ago when bitcoin didn't worth this much. I felt bad than but not horribly like if it happened today.

Now, that I look back on it of course 2.2 bitcoin is horrible however I didn't know that back than. I knew bitcoin would be big tho, so I should have put that money aside instead of gambling with it.

What were you guys expecting on friendlies ? Playing their eleven that will play on champions league ?

This is purely friendly and there is nothing at the end of it. I mean juventus and real madrid may play semi decently if they want to because of all ronaldo thing that happened but aside from that game there will be no games that will be the starting eleven playing for the teams.

These are friendlies that teams usually do two things, either play their young guys so they can get some minutes or play their starters so they can get some conditioning.
8306  Economy / Economics / Re: Blockchain and Medicine in Africa on: July 22, 2018, 06:13:44 AM
The world has since been stirred up by the wind of blockchain possibilities seen in fintech; records and data analysis and also recently in politics. But can we see thesame possibilities in healthcare for the poor in Africa?
It would really help a great deal in the healthcare. We all know how data collection, analysis and record have been over the years and with the help of blockchain technology, it is not all about advancing alone, but the fact that it is going to bring about efficiency when it comes to cost as well as auditing, which I believe would make a huge difference in the long run and not only in Africa but all over the world.

Though, it may take some time to see this kind of adoption in every under developed countries in other continents.
8307  Economy / Economics / Re: Mistakes That Make You Poor Poor In Cryptocurrency on: July 21, 2018, 09:54:06 AM
With cryptocurrency, you have to be careful with any fraud and theft. and usually many people who are caught in the losses in the world of crypto is:
1. Not Backup Key
2. Electricity Billing Mining More
3. Lunes In Phishing Sites
4. Buy Coin With Rumors
5. Create a weak password
6. Steal With Stealth ICO

With cryptocurrency, no bank or other institution or regulation will protect you in the event of a loss.
The most things with getting poorer in cryptocurrency space have mainly to do with knowledge. If you do not equip yourself in all the things you need to know about security, the markets you should be investing into, the risk that is available and how you can be minimizing them as a smart investor and so on, then, there is no way such a person can actually end up doing well without ending up losing their funds in some way. It is either you stay smart or stay broke.
8308  Economy / Speculation / Re: Uptrend again? Bitcoin will reach 10k$ soon? on: July 21, 2018, 08:39:37 AM
this is definitely a good price trend and i hope this will continue until the price barrier is broken. Im seeing 10k by August!
Well, if we are looking at August, anything can sure be possible since we should still be having some short term uptrend anyway. However, I would not be expecting $10k at most as we have some huge resistance to beat above us far before then. How soon is one thing anyone cannot know but as far as I am concerned, even August still look a lot bleak when it comes to the how soon that we are all expecting? Time will tell how things would be playing out anyway.

Experts predict that the value will hit the price higher than 30k dollar in the next 7 months and this is also a huge time but big investments can make it shorter.
Personally I do not have any problems to wait for 7 months Wink. Also, I read some other people are predicting prices to test $40k levels this year. Anyway all these are falling within my researches as I am expecting prices to touch $100k levels in coming months.
8309  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy $20k when bitcoin falls to $1? on: July 21, 2018, 08:00:16 AM
Let's say bitcoin buble bursts and it falls to $1
Then I buy 20,000 dollars worth of bitcoin at $1 per bitcoin
And hold it for 10 years
Is it a good idea?
Or will bitcoin fall to 0.00 and never recover?
What can go wrong with this strategy?
$1 is something that must have been caused by a serious news that could probably be leading to the death of bitcoin and in this case bitcoin becoming irrelevant anymore with a huge sell off, so in the case that this is not there, that is a reasonable amount to reach and that is not just by bitcoin bubble getting busted because it is not realistic.

Fortunately bitcoin now showing some stability around $7400 levels which must be a good symptoms for prices to move further positively still we have already gone through the huge correction after the value was inflated last year, and now we have to deal with it, and look forward to a good demand zone.
8310  Economy / Speculation / Re: If bitcoin fails to bull run on: July 20, 2018, 06:43:05 PM
I see some threads discussing that bitcoin will bull run getting to the end of this year. Guys, what are you going to do if these speculations fail to come to reality and enters next year. Will you still invest in bitcoin?
It already achieved what it was suppose to achieve. It created a sense of hope in people and they have been happy once again. During all this downfall of bear markets more and more people decided to get out and they have been afraid of going even lower. With this small bull run we have seen that bitcoin is still very much alive and people are once more happy about it.

Though we should be careful because if it goes up that is great but if goes back down than it might hurt even worse after all this. As per many indicators and strategies, I am hoping for positive days here after. But may have many surprises for us hence lets wait and experience.
8311  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: looking for a hidden GEM? what about this Project rated as 4.8 on ICObench? on: July 20, 2018, 06:05:34 PM
"nice discovery! this projects seems promising..   and also the fact that they will burn all unsold tokens, will make the price skyrocket!"
It is actually very promising. I bumped into the ICO some few days ago as well on ICO bench and the team alone actually made me to want to dig further. The things I eventually found out from the technical aspect of the whole project are just awesome as that is the best word I can use.

I really hope they get to pull it off as to getting a pretty solid product but the mind tells me, this is going to be very possible and for an investor willing to take a smarter risk, this is one. (I am here stating my very personal opinion and anyone should react for investments on their on researches and on responsibilities, not based on mine).
8312  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Mid-year, buy or sell ? on: July 20, 2018, 05:14:52 PM
It is a common tendency for many markets to cash out during the summertime, as investment activity is getting lower at such days. I suppose you need to do on contrary, as the market for sure will begin to grow starting from September.
The last quarter of the year is actually what almost everyone is looking forward to considering how things have always been. It would make a lot of sense to see how the market want to play out and be using the opportunity to buy the dips at the moment, rather than trying to sell at this point in time when the market is going down.

The cryptocurrency market has recovered but has not gotten rid of the downtrend so I think investors should be prepared psychologically because the market can fluctuate at any time.
Yes, heavily fluctuating in last two weeks and unfortunately altcoins and bitcoins are trading in different trends. But we need to follow like most veterans always say, buy when everyone is selling and scared to get in, sell when the hype gets too much.
8313  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: RE: WHY MOST FALL IN PRICE SOON AFTER LISTING ON EXCHANGE on: July 20, 2018, 04:24:04 PM
It seem that almost all ICOs that get listed on exchanges usually plunge in price soon afterwards. Are bounty hunters responsible or is it as a result of the general bearish market condition?

Because almost every ICO is selling garbage, what you can do with their shitcoin? Nothing but speculate, it needs a real use case to grow their price if not the case don't expect to get gold selling dust
It is not all of them that are selling garbage, lol. A lot of them have their products, great team and possible long term development as time goes on. Market is just what it is and investors these days are so fast trying to make profits as fast as possible. This brings me down to the huge bonus being given to most investors when they do invest, as a whale given a huge bonus can easily just pick the bonus and dump whenever he feels like.

There were many exceptions I have experienced with some coins which did not get dumped after listing as devs made many promises to live. When a coin keeps attracting new investors then there will be lesser chances for getting dumped once it get listed.
8314  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: July 20, 2018, 03:16:23 PM
I understand that getting schroder and luwawu for the trade and dealing a bad contract melo and a pick in return MAY look like its a decent trade for OKC but it really isn't. This was a trade to make a space for their luxury tax and they didn't made a lot of space for luxury tax to be low. They are still paying the highest luxury tax in the whole nba and the only players they have that makes sense is russell westbrook and paul george with roberson and adams as great role players.

Having 2 stars and 2 good role players doesn't justify "the biggest luxury tax in the nba" levels of payment. They should have stretched instead. Hawks on the other hand got rid of shcoder but also got melo and waive him. I mean if you are going to waive melo than just wave dennis himself without a trade. Sixers maybe the only part that got something in return.
8315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to deal with multiple accounts and abusing faucet? on: July 20, 2018, 02:37:06 PM
Not so long ago, we simplify registration process at our site leaving only the username field...
As a consequence, we are faced with a problem of creating multiple accounts by the same user and abusing faucet (faucet at our site - 0.007 mBTC and only request every 3 hours when balance is zero).
Guys, what solutions do you recommend?  Huh
Thank you!
You can't. There is absolutely no way to protect that aside from IP restriction. Which would actually help out because its harder to spoof your IP compared to just logging out and logging with another account. Even tho you can make it harder for them to abuse it, if you are giving out FREE money to people in the end there will always be people who will try to abuse that right.

However if you make the faucet small enough and the withdraw amount big enough just like primedice than it would be harder for them to withdraw and makes it useless. So, two things you can do to at least slow it down and make it tiny ; make it IP restricted and make it 100 times lower than the withdraw amount.
8316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: July 19, 2018, 04:22:13 PM
People keep saying that derozan is worse than kawhi and toronto got good return. However the cold blooded announcements made from toronto will hurt them in the future when they want to sign Free Agents or even try to resign their rookies will be harder. They have created a place of work with "this is a business in the end" idea however than players will act accordingly
to them.

Derozan will be fine he will play for the best coach in the game, kawhi will be fine and leave after a year, toronto is the one that got screwed.
8317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: India to legalize gambling and sports betting on: July 19, 2018, 03:42:30 PM
Sports betting is quite legal in so many countries which will not make huge dent in the world however owning a good sports betting company in India where over a billion people lives is quite profitable sounding business. Also if gambling as in las vegas or monaco type gambling becomes legal than maybe online gambling might get available too in which case tech companies love India and outsource stuff all the time to India and they may make an online gambling website based in India as well.
8318  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A trader's heart on: July 19, 2018, 02:36:47 PM
Trading can consider as gambling, you might win or lose but the bug different is you dont have enemy to deal with. Only just your decision whether you sell or hold. Loss is depend on what you had been decided. Gambling for the future profit not a illegal gambling have a big amount of bet for each user.
Well, sometimes, some of us may refer to it as an educated gambling based on how you are able to do well or how vast and knowledgeable you are which based on that, anyone who is not knowledgeable is simply just gambling. Trading is a whole lot and you really want to be very good at what you do, be ready to learn more and practice every day as you keep getting better and that is the only best way to do well when it comes to trading.

Trading is a very reliable profession and not just an investment, but how you see it determines a lot as well. It is more or less a gambling since most time you are making predictions based on what you see, the indicators you read, and expecting to see how the market play to your favor.

But most of the time, it is more of an educated one which is the only way you can reduce the risk that comes with it otherwise you will just be gambling 100% of the way.
8319  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to HODL the right way on: July 19, 2018, 12:40:13 PM
Absolutely yes your thoughts are correct. Buy a coin that has a possibility to increase someday and trusted too. Because of so many coin you need to be wise in choosing a coin to invest and hold.
The wisdom comes with the knowledge you have about the space since there is no way you will be making good decisions without it anyway. Holding will work in favor of us only when the entire crypto market is into positive trends. For example, people who are holding from last November month, definitely will not have positive results.

With the HODL strategy, you will not have to worry about what anyone is saying about the current situations in the market and you just know that in the long term, with a very huge demand for it, it is definite to see it go huge and that is certainly what you are looking forward to. With this, it makes it easy to find very strong potential coins or tokens that would be an easy hold.
8320  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Altcoin Trading on: July 19, 2018, 12:06:38 PM
Dont do trading if you dont know how to trade (as seen on your thread) so the best thing that you can do is just try to learn at the moment, and as soon as you understood it at 100%, then you can start to trade safely.
Always the way to go for anyone who does not know how to trade. Trading is not a small thing to just tamper with and altcoin trading takes a lot of knowledge and experience about the market to be able to get the best of them in the long run.

Anyone who is trying to just pick the bottom in altcoins may not actually have been able to pick enough yet with the likelihood of some of them dropping further, so in that case, it is always very good to look at bitcoin movement as a signal as well when considering entering into altcoins.
