841  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Starting a Gambling Game on: March 21, 2018, 05:48:38 AM

i never experience gambling online, do you have a recommendation to try? some of my friends know about this gambling game, but they will not try to share what is gambling online.

Did you read the OP post clearly?

OP is talking about real life fun betting options. They are not real gambling games.

If you want to learn online gambling then you're at right forum, just go through gambling section then you will learn many things about online gambling.

I didn't bet such fun bets until now but mostly playing a dice game and betting in sports.
Maybe he has different sense of reasoning, who knows ? Grin I have had some sort of bets like this, and it is either on us playing some sports and then betting with the winner going away with the money, or you know some club kind of betting with some ladies in the show if you know what I mean (I do not need to spell that out loud).

But all in all, this kind of stuff is always real fun even more than going to the casino since you are at least just having some real life fun with your friends and daring each other which is the closest I have ever come in such situations.

Where have you read the article ? What is the source of your context ?
There are many rumors that keep on spreading these days.Kindly update the post with the source so that users could believe what you are saying.
Although AI has entered the market and has showed us its great ability, it's tough to believe something like this. It would be really good though if something like this would be happening since investors would be benefitting a lot from it. If it were true, it would still be a little risky since the accuracy rate is 83% in which case some of the legit ICOs might get a bad name because of it.
How would someone just come here to tell us what some people are doing without even mentioning names and a lot of people have been requesting for article link without no response from the guy. At least, for news like this, there should always be a form of reference to make use of. I know AI is going to be changing a lot of things, but there are just some things that I believe they are just too good to be true and this is one of them.

With respect to what the OP has stated, I really do not see how he would give us information such as this and then not put something that one would even be able to search some details about it on Google.
843  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bad Psychology of Traders on: March 20, 2018, 02:13:54 PM
because most people don't have the right mind for trading , it is pretty draining on you and time consuming. people think it is easy because they see the volatility on the market. the best traders have a strong mindset and are not scared of losing money , they make decisions on logic and not on emotion.
I don't even call themselves traders are they don't know what to do, they holding something when its worst but when a golden opportunity arrives they will immediately sell when they see something in their portfolio green. You see a trader knows when to enter and when to exit because they have a plan but before that plan they carefully study and analyze charts. What you are calling traders are basically just people looking up recommendations online on what to buy and they will really rely on that information without doing their own research.
I like the point scallywag stated that people think it is easy because they see the volatility in the market and thought to themselves that if I can always buy low and sell high, I will be fine and then they buy low, the market keeps dropping, they do not know what to do since they have no trading knowledge and then they end up selling when they have accrued a huge loss.

Emotion is always bound to set in for those who do not have the knowledge, it is normal even in real life. Bad psychology while trading could be avoided over experience but needs more disciplined plans to be followed consistently.
844  Economy / Economics / Re: What do you believe is needed for crypto currencies to be mass adopted? on: March 20, 2018, 09:25:55 AM
We at Quantum1Net believes what needed is higher amount of data transaction and speed, lower power consumption and stronger security.
https://github.com/quantum1net/Documents
Other than that, what do you think?
Bitcoin needs to work as a currency that's what we really need not many people are going to put their money bitcoin if it is just a high risk investment, after all how many people are investing in those kind of products not many I suppose, but everyone needs to use currency from the richest man in the world to the poorest so until bitcoin is able to satisfy that condition then we cannot get mass adoption.
As simple as that which was the main reason and a lot of people are losing that part and only end up making people to see the asset part of it which makes it highly speculative in nature. If everyone can easily use it as a currency with some of the attributes that the Op has listed, that is what will make it easy for mass adoption to work. The little adoption that we had recently showed some of these lapses and it is good to know where we really need to keep improving.

I do believe the awareness among common people like the advantages of decentralization and benefits of blockchain data management kind of improvements will definitely contribute to the future where more people will be adopting cryptocurrencies.
Yes, spreading out benefits of blockchain and its derivatives to common people will result in mass adoption. But, we cannot expect it to happen in short time. So, we must give it time so that people will understand the system. I do believe it is already happening in every part of the world.
845  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin down ( Mt. Gox is dumping ) on: March 20, 2018, 08:38:04 AM
It's scary that one entity can do all this. Makes me fear what banks might do, since they can definitely profit from shenanigans.
The cryptocurrency market is dominated by wealthy speculators. The bad news and the deliberate push down prices of many investors can make the market fluctuate in the next time so I advise investors to calm down during this time, do not panic to sell Take your crypto and then buy it at a higher price.
When you are dumping a whole lot in an exchange, it generally affects the general price. This is where traders are and they obviously will not see things like this happening without trying to be careful and opting out first. After all, there is nothing to worry about as the market will definitely survive the whole thing and when he eventually gets done with all his selling and there is absolutely nothing to sell anymore, what will be left is going to be demand and then we will get to see the increase normally.
846  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin helpful to the economy? on: March 20, 2018, 08:04:39 AM
I should say that bitcoin indeed has a contribution to the people's finances, thus reflecting to the economic growth of a country.
That is if you are paying your tax from capital gains and I am sure if I ask you if you are, the answer is going to be NO. The whole way this is going to affect the economy at large is if virtually everyone in a particular country has decided too adopt it and it is being regulated by the government and since the world of cryptocurrency at large itself comes with so many opportunities, it would be easy for the economy to get better.

At the same time, in some places where life has originally been like a living hell (not mentioning any country), at least the citizens who have gotten a glimpse of how they can earn has been able to spread it among other people and they are really doing a lot for themselves right now and if things are good for the citizens, it sure would show and tell well on the country's economy.
847  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why ETH 460$ on yesterday? on: March 20, 2018, 07:06:03 AM
What disaster is happening to ETH?  Huh Huh Huh

The whole market isn't doing well but as you know ether is a very great coin so i wouldn't even panic selling any of my Ethers... i would instead buy more... i think the new wave will take ETH to even 2000 usd
yeah, we are in that time of the market where everything is just totally down, but still I do not think this should be a problem.

It is not the end of cryptocurrency world and things would obviously get better and if anyone is cashing out now, it should either be because they really are fine with what they have and need it for something important but should never be as a result of panic, because whoever panics to sell, ends up losing a lot at the end of the day.
848  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What am I to do? on: March 18, 2018, 08:34:22 AM
I suggest you to sell them all and buy back from dips.
Market is going to crash more and more. Clouds are still on the sky and they are really dark and getting darker everyday.
at least we will touch 6k$ in few days.
Hmm. That is a good suggestion for someone who will know what to do in case the market trend changes before then and it ends up not touching $6000. I always advise anyone that does not know what to look out for in a trade to just hold and whichever point in the market it ends up, it is definite it will always recover and then that is when the profit will swim in.

It will be a huge risk for him to take now that the market is already in a bear position and anything can change rapidly. If he had sold when we hit the resistance at $11,800 to buy back more now, that would have been a good one.
849  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is Dropping, and Experts Can't Agree Why on: March 18, 2018, 04:03:28 AM
Ok. Looks like we can finally put to rest as to why bitcoin keeps on dropping for the last several months now. Who would have thought that the ghost of Mt. Gox is still haunting us till today. Mr. Kobayashi, the most hated man in the cryptoverse, is the culprit and him offloading huge amount of bitcoin is one of the major factors, besides FUD. Everyone, including the so called "expert" can't really pinpoint as what's causing the drop. But at least we all agree that we have found the suspect. So all arguments can be put to rest now, at least till September.
So, I guess it is countdown to September 2018 now, the day when we may start seeing some reds again as a result of Kobayashi's dump if he ends up not doing it over the counter. It is really funny the way you put it with the ghost of MtGox still haunting us till date and I guess we would not stop seeing that until when MtGox is totally out of the system completely. I really hope we can at least have some good moment in coming months anyway even if we just end up consolidating.
850  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you do when you see bitcoin crashing like this and you're losing money? on: March 17, 2018, 04:57:41 PM
I just wonder how those HODL people that are now losing so much money day after day after day,
When value goes down then every holder is also losing money with it.
The truth is that if I look at how much I invested last year and how much the value has gotten to? Then I really have no need to be worried. For someone like me, I invested for the long term anyway and who really cares even if bitcoin gets back even lower to the amount that I got, at some point I will just buy more. If there is one thing that I have known so far, that is the fact that downtrends are normal, but it won't be here forever.

I just wonder how those HODL people that are now losing so much money day after day after day, manage their positions? Are you guys just sitting there, watching your accounts evaporate, hoping for better days? Are you cutting losses? When is it enough?
There goes the bear man again and I really wonder where you would be when the market turns bullish, probably go into hiding and turn on one of your bull supporting alt accounts? Thanks for reminding us and checking to know whether we are holding or not, but for your information, yes, some of us are still holding even though we trade with some, because we believe in the fact that bitcoin is here to stay. Kapeesh?
851  Economy / Speculation / Re: SELL EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! on: March 17, 2018, 04:23:39 PM
I'm gonna be honest with you all , i have been trading/investing since 2017.



I earned about 110.000 by trading and basically lost it all, i decided to sell the rest and just quit. I'm gonna explain why, this cryptocurrency market
is very manipulative and can easily be controlled and it will never stop. The icos/alts will always keep sucking all the btc cash so it will always be hard for btc to grow and
dominate.



This market is made to make money and profit from noobs it's like a bitconnect scheme. Every dollar that is made by someone, someone will lose money. Every dollar that
is made in this system will be sold to fiat and if there is low btc buy power it will mean that btc will only keep going down. This market is basically made to make
money from new users like a scheme. For example can you actually believe that if you would've put 10k usd into bitconnect you would have a monthly return of about 4500
every month by lending? This is unbelievably high which again means for every btc/dollar you lend out into this cryptocurrency system = someone will lose money that's
the main reason this market won't be there for long. Because it's basically a pyramid scheme.
This means you use to be NOOB?because you have profit 110,000 before you realized all of this?what i can say is SELL ALL YOURE STUFF AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.no one wants you to be here lol

This is a kind of trader that goes to a battle without proper equipments and strategies to follow so the result is a totally lose. Trading is a complicated industry so anyone go there without proper knowledge will just wasting their money for nothing. One best strategy is you must have a limit, like if you reach that certain amount you will stop and don't try to continue because you just feel luck comes to you that time. Maybe trading is not for you so go try other things you think suit to your personality.
And then after going to battle without equipment, he ended up coming back home to tell us how he lost because the battle was manipulated Grin. Honestly, the way some people like OP talk sometimes make me to wonder how some people really think.

Trading is absolutely not for everyone and he was just lucky he made that amount anyway which I do not know if he was actually whining because of $110 or $110,000 since what I can see there is a dot, but then losing it all as a result of incompetence and finding who to blame for his mistakes. He should really get a life.
852  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is going on? on: March 17, 2018, 02:47:50 PM
Im also worried about the continuous price drop of bitcoin. Ive been holding my bitcoin for quite a while now. But you see being paranoid won't help me, I wanted to stay optimistic and believe that bitcoin will recover from all if this crashes.

I understand that many people try to launch FUD to create FOMO, so keep up the psychology in this market otherwise you will be led by the nose.
This is an ancient strategy to let down something that have created a remarkable effect on society. We have been seeing such enormous downfalls of different things when they were at their peak popularity. Some haters can never digest the success of their opponents so they start creating fuss. Talking bad, promoting bad image, lose talk, reading problems and much other.
Asides from haters which I really do not see that to be the case, most of the FUDs generated are being used by some set of people called whales to drive down the market. Usually what they do is sell at the top, and then drive the market down as they please to pursue weak hands until they are fully satisfied and that is really how I see it. However, I do not see anything to always worry about in this case, as most times, it usually gets better afterwards.
853  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stocks or crypto ? which has great future? on: March 17, 2018, 11:13:53 AM
i am kinda new to Cryptocurrency .
i am going great in stocks. its really technical and fundamental kinda investments
as i see Cryptocurrency its alot more easy to invest and forget
should i shift to Cryptocurrency and start investing without tension and stress?

Investing in the crypto currency is a great opportunity to make a big profit. But it's also a big risk. And to decide only for you - are you ready to invest with greater risks? In this case, it is possible to get a big profit.
A pretty big opportunity and a lot to look forward to in the future. Every good opportunity and most especially when it is new will always come with a big risk, but at the end of the day, it makes a lot of sense when you are able to realize these risks and input them as you are making decisions and that is what helps you not to panic in any situation. Stock is also risky and there is no market that is not, but at the end, the ball game is to make profit.

I would not say that as they both kind of look alike anyway. If you are talking about penny stocks, I could still relate it with some cryptocurrencies, so at the end, it only depends on your own level of trading and how you are able to do your thing. Nonetheless, I still feel cryptocurrency space comes with a lot of opportunity and about more risk than stocks, but with great potentials for the investors.
854  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Cheating in bounty programs on: March 17, 2018, 10:04:19 AM
I am just trying bounties for the first time, never earned from them but who knows. Its about the modertaor of the bounty, he might be a scammer and he might be a trusted guy. They can scam and run away.. but you must only choose the trusted ones.
By moderators, I want to assume you are referring to the campaign managers’ right ?
Most of them actually do not have anything to do with this and they are only being paid to help manage the campaigns, which at the end, the developers are the ones in the best position to get the payments done.

It is always in every hunter's best interest to always be careful of the project they participate in any way so as not to fall in the hands of scammers or developers who are just selfish naturally which is why such project will never grow.
855  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A new way to earn cryptocurrency for free? on: March 17, 2018, 09:02:01 AM
There are no such free cryptocurrency without doing something in return.
Most of us in this forum are participating signature and other bounty campaigns and some of us are joining Airdrops to get bounty stake tokens but it is not Free.
I really don't believe that this wold be a free crypto, if it is then you got to do something first like help them to promote or advertise their ICO or projects.
Well, I agree with the fact that there is nothing free. Actually, the essence is to buy and hold the tokens of most of these projects and since they have a trading platform, they share the returns of the traded alts among all the users holding those coins.
Like someone have mentioned, Crypto One Stop Solution (COSS) is a very good example of this, but at the end, you are still investing your funds buying COSS token anyway so like you said, nothing is free, it is either you are investing money or time.
856  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: All Alt Coins are a scam. on: March 17, 2018, 06:30:49 AM
Well this is what the insightful Tone Vays claims...

He claims that ETH, DASH, shit 99.5% of all the ALTS are scams and the only coin that will survive is Bitcoin.

So l guess we should all sell our Alts now!
lol. By the way who the F is Tone Vays? Okay! Google did not even bring out much about him but I can see he has made some predictions in the past. I disagree with him on this anyway.

I agree on the aspect that some coins or tokens will end up dead in the long run and there is no doubt about that, but saying all altcoins are scams, that is what bothers me. If there is no competition in the market, we may not expect much growth like this and alts also have a lot to play in that part, but that does not change the characteristics of bitcoin being a legacy coin.
857  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Buying Alts with ETH or BTC on: March 16, 2018, 06:08:17 PM
It is amazingly confusing for me to understand whether to buy ETH or BTC to trade for ALTS. I plan on holding a good % of BTC and ETH in my portfolio, but when it comes to these fluctuating BTC and ETH prices, I'm never sure whether to buy one first to trade for ALT coins.

Any suggestions?


Then you must prioritized the bitcoin. We know that the bitcoin is the most trusted and safest among the all cryptocurrency for the investment because we know that is the leading in the market.but it is your choice even i suggest or recommend my opinion if you can't follow my suggestion there's nothing do with my suggestion.

I will trade with Bitcoin then, but I guess a follow up question would be, if I buy right now since it is down, do I then trade for alts or wait again for the BTC price to rise since it will be worth more on each trade? Or is that flawed logic?
Everything is flawed if you are only buying in at any position you want, just make sure you know how to conclude on the charts before making any decision. However, if you are buying any alt now, you may just have to wait for the whole btc bear market to die down and buy into some of the alts, or probably just buy in margins and wait for them to pick up to make your cool profit in them, but at times like this and generally, I always prefer trading bitcoin against fiat and only trading altcoins on breakout signals.
858  Economy / Economics / Re: If you achieve your target in crypto field then what you are going to do next? on: March 16, 2018, 05:30:31 PM
I don't think anyone would ever be satisfied with the money they make. There is always greed to earn more. Even if I make 1 million dollars today, I won't be satisfied and would want to earn another million. So, I would never really exit the market no matter how much money I make, but yes, I would prefer to withdraw my profits and keep them in banks instead of speculating with every penny I have.
Yeah, and it is easier said than done for most people who have been saying they will opt out because at that point their targets will change and they will be eyeing more profit. Nevertheless, it is a good option to spread the risk and try to use some of the huge profit to invest into some other things that may not necessarily be crypto just as some have said.

This is what I have done and it has really helped me to even always have more than enough to invest into cryptocurrency at times like this when every coin is screaming, BUY ME !
859  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin as your main income? on: March 16, 2018, 07:20:36 AM
Bitcoin is not recommended to be the main income for beginners, due to its volatile nature. Required knowledge and experience in trading in this Bitcoin. Maybe when used as a means of long-term investment can be profitable. But it is not possible to gain profit from other altcoins, making profits in reading market conditions. Many of my friends who managed altcoin trading make a lot of profits.
Yes. Bitcoin is not even a job, so why would anyone classify it as such. Bitcoin could be an investment tool or a payment tool and that is it. If you work and earn bitcoin as a payment, then you can consider that as being paid for what you are doing which can be classified as an income, but regarding bitcoin itself as a main income, probably because of the profit you can get from it in the long run, does not make it an income but a long term investment.

Probably some people would have already adopted bitcoin related stuff for their main income. But definitely they would not have risk their previous income source for this. They have entered into main income from bitcoin slowly like part time job. I guess there will be nothing wrong to try like that for all of us.
860  Economy / Speculation / Re: great influence in the world of cryptocurrency. on: March 16, 2018, 06:48:19 AM
a little bird told me that bitcoin prices can survive without other coins, whereas the price of other coins can not survive without bitcoin.
I think bitcoin is very influential in the world of cryptocurrency.

Yes, this is what happening right now every time the bitcoin fall, expect some altcoins to hurt so much.
But again there's a good altcoin that can really survive without bitcoin but it will take more time before that things happen.
Let's always open for the possibilities of some altcoins to really go beyond bitcoin in the coming years.
mindset is do'a and I believe that there will be other coins that can survive without bitcoin. I have observed, that many other coins have great advantages. IMO in the days to come there will be one coin that can surpass or equivalent bitcoin.
There are actually a lot of coins that would have been able to stand on their own, but I feel the mentality among traders that bitcoin controls the market has given them that idea of exiting their positions once there is a serious movement on bitcoin that obviously in the past has caused altcoin tanking before and this will keep repeating until it actually stops with a lot of support for those alts that are solid, but now, we cannot actually say it is far from the truth.
