841  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you have a reason to stay? on: February 05, 2019, 05:26:49 PM
Those who invested in bitcoin way back 2009 had not experienced any bull run before nor have much knowledge about the blockchain technology, yet they took the risk to invest. You and I have witnessed a bull run and heard about the numerous potentials of crypto so why do we still have to feel reluctant to invest in bitcoin. Let's be optimistic about our digital assets because its all we have.
Probably most people do not want to accept Bitcoin, they are afraid. The risk is great and they are worried about its future. But those who are willing to take risks can make profit. When the price was 20k, everyone was displeased that why they could not invest when price was cheaper. So? I guess it is time to cling more tightly, not to stay.
842  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are Bitcoin fundamentals getting stronger or weaker? on: February 04, 2019, 09:30:19 PM
I think the weakening of prices cannot be interpreted that bitcoin is getting weaker, I think the strength of bitcoin is seen from their
development and existing adoption? adoption and development may continue to advance, but prices can fall at any time right?
I do not think Bitcoin's strength should be evaluated by its price. Because the price is necessary for people to trade and we cannot say that it can be useful for development. But in my respects, Bitcoin has been evolving in its expansion and adoption, and this is proof that it has been getting stronger as time goes by.

First, we should create "frozen" or lockable addresses, i.e. addresses which will be locked for a specified amount of time on the protocol level by setting a special variable that will be our countdown timer. After it runs out the address gets unlocked and you can move your coins freely.
Personally, I always follow the situation and when I think the time is right for entering then I get. Well what will happen to this countdown if the price in this period becomes as I wish? It is like taking over management. Anyway even if there is any solution, it will be hacked or stolen. There is no escape from something online, unless you are awake.
844  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN IN 2019 on: February 04, 2019, 07:38:41 PM
I observed lately, bitcoin continues to decline and it is difficult to rise to the top, do you think this bearish trend will continue until Q2 2019? If the situation gets worse (the price drops), do you still want to stand up and hold it until the end of 2019? It seems that I have to take a vacation, so I don't get too bored.
Me or others can not help you under current conditions. Trade can be profitable when you can afford to risk. But noone can tell how long this period will continue, during this time the price may fall 10 times below the current level. The main thing is to be patient until the requisite time comes.
845  Economy / Economics / Re: Wyoming Senate passes bill recognizing Bitcoin and other crypto as money on: February 03, 2019, 10:03:16 PM
Wyoming is the most boring of all states. Grin I'm glad they will adopt crypto.

Isn't Wyoming filed with dodgy (yet legal) LLCs and other stuff by people that just want to basically avoid taxes. I wonder if it's related that Wyoming does this of all States. Anyway I haven't read the small details.

What we really need to know is how a government deals with bitcoin in terms of fungibility. For instance, you make a deposit on an exchange and some of the utxo's have on its history something related to criminal activity.. then it enters the exchange and gets mixed with everyone's else coins... so does everyone that ends up with some of these coins on their transaction history marked as a drug dealer or whatnot? We need laws that make this clear. It would be insane if that was the case since fungibility wouldn't be respected.

Wow,this is a pretty weird theory.What if you deposit fiat money in a bank that is involved into money laundering?Does that make you a money laundere as well? Grin
We can't fight with the stupidity of all government clerks.

I think so. Although much effort is made, it is not possible to oppose them. I have even heard that some countries let pass unchallenged drug dealers and that money is a big part of the state's earnings. Who do you think we should believe now? I prefer Bitcoin instead of paper money with no supply and no known how they use.
846  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Is Now Officially In Its Longest Bear Market Ever on: February 03, 2019, 09:32:37 PM
Bitcoin has officially entered the longest stretch of declining prices in its 10-year history.

The world’s oldest and most valuable cryptocurrency achieved an all-time high of $19,764 on Dec. 17, 2017 on the CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index and has printed a series of lower price highs ever since, making February 2 (as per UTC time), the 411th consecutive day prices have been in decline.

As such, bitcoin’s latest stretch surpasses the duration of the infamous 2013-2015 bitcoin bear market, which spanned 410 days from its price high to low.

the full article can be found here https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoins-price-longest-ever-bear-market

IMO these are the events that will help us analyze the price in the future. Cryptocurrency is a new business entity and behaves differently on its path of self-development. Therefore it is still not in its own way, it can easily lean on any side. Price volatility, big risk, big earnings are due to this. We are gonna say "goodbye" them when the time will come that I said.

3.Don't use the technical analysis more,its just a tool to predict but still there is no reason for it to happen cent percent.
The other article options make sense, but the third option seems "raw". Would not the price prediction be difficult? It Is one of the things that works as a prediction tool. Less use of this method may be after having sufficient experience. Otherwise you will go as far as your luck goes.
848  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Diversifying has never been the same in crypto. on: February 03, 2019, 08:48:04 PM
Diversifying is a new meaning when it comes to crypto currency. Alot of crypto coins out there now. is it the generation of diversifying your portfolio. Now the average investor don't have to invest in Bitcoin if they don't want to. They got dapp coins. Privacy coins. Cloud coins. So many coins. U don't need to invest in one place anymore. Any bull run can give u net gains of over 2000% in a single night. Only if targeted by luck.
Sure! If you do not want to put all of your money at great risk, divide it. You know, all the prices are hanging from the foot of the Bitcoin mother and tomorrow just one news can destroy all prices. But, if you are only interested in dealing with crypto, you can keep your money as it is and try short term when needed.

Is Bitcoin a Bubble or Not?
We should not understand as a scam the meaning of calling Bitcoin as a bubble. The reason for calling bubble is price volatility. We all know how volatile the price is and the possibility that the price will turn to zero at any moment. But surely if the price with the USD is not important for you, this conversation is useless and go ahead.
850  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are we not abusing decentralization? on: February 03, 2019, 08:06:35 PM
Decentralization is one of the greatest dreams of Satoshi looking at the how the blockchain technology and its immutable distributed ledger has been designed. Well it saddens my heart that the greed of men has led to the abusing of this freedom and liberty that Satoshi wanted us to have in the financial industry. Look at the way people are being scammed and robbed in broad day light just because crypto is embedded in anonymity and decentralization. I think we've all had it to the peak, how about we have some level of regulation with the activities in the crypto industry. Share your thoughts commrades.

For decentralization other systems should work as it. So Bitcoin cannot gain value on its own, we make it valuable and we evaluate it with central money. There are also decentralized exchanges that are useful today, but when you use them, nevertheless, the end point is "central money". So, we need to keep it on its own network to keep it decentralized.
851  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can we stop promoting scam project? on: January 29, 2019, 10:16:09 PM
Most of the bounty hunters do not get payment despite their hard working and some gets a little with shit token. Can we prevent it? Just an idea.

What if we everybody stop to promote a project which offers only token?
For launching a project, the project owner or developer should have some money to promote the project. Say for example- they have to escrow a minimum of 40% of the bounty allocation in term of usd or btc. Only then we can prevent scam ico and bounty hunter will get their money. Can we start following this rule?
But you look at this from your side. 40% of the amount bounty allocates is not even 1-2% of the money they stole from the investors. Besides when the project does not start to collect money, I do not think they will afford it.
852  Economy / Speculation / Re: After Chinese new year BTC price will rise? on: January 29, 2019, 09:54:04 PM
every year before Chinese new year around 2-4week BTC price alway drop like last year from 11xxx in 28 jan drop to 62xx in 06 feb.

after Chinese new year (16 feb 2018) price rise back  do you think this year is same pattern?

If this were for other tradable assets, there would be an answer near to the truth. Bitcoin has not yet been fully tamed and still very wild and this is why price prediction is really far away these days. On the other hand price is too low and I do not think owners will sell at this price. Therefore this year maybe the new year will have no impact on the price.  Huh  
853  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does any exchange has bitcoin freeze function? on: January 29, 2019, 09:33:17 PM
Hello guys, is there any exchange that has bitcoin freeze function? I think that will be a great feature for those who are nervous in trading and sometimes because of price fall do shit movements. You would freeze as much coin as you want for a while which means you can't touch them nor trade and get them back once time will pass.
I have never seen or heard anything about freezing system. Why do not you send your money to the hardware wallet? Also the lifetime of this feature will continue until the money is stolen from the exchange. Moreover why do you want to use exchange wallet that private key is not your management? Well in this time interval if the price comes to the desired position?  Huh
854  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Bitcoin matured as a currency? on: January 29, 2019, 09:12:04 PM
The volatility of the bitcoin is no a reason for them to not adopt it. If they are really interested to the new technology then they should adopt it. There are now many people who keep using bitcoin even its price is volatile.
We all know that this is not the exact reason why Bitcoin is not accepted. Surely they can understand that, but we should not think the issue is so easy. At least, it is risky to apply a newly created system to the economy circulating for years. It will be accepted, but not suddenly.
855  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is the evolution of the Bitcoin? on: January 29, 2019, 08:58:37 PM
I want to know how Bitcoin came into existence and where it will be headed in the coming future. Please share your perspectives. Smiley
As far as I remember before Bitcoin was created, there were digital currencies that were similar to it and the prevalence of these digital coins was restricted enough to be used in games. Satoshi may have inspired it and created. My only idea about the future is that Bitcoin is currently a major innovation in the field of economics for many of us.
856  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: cryptocurrencys owners??? on: January 29, 2019, 08:06:25 PM
IMO the project creators who are going to implement the exigences in Roadmap are owners. But if you are gonna to create a decentralized digital currency, being the owner of a project does not mean that you can manage it the way you want and it does not really mean anything.
857  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: arbitrage problems on: January 28, 2019, 09:55:42 PM
So I decided last week and have found it to be a case "works on Paper"
I noticed an exchange with a BCH/USDT 50% higher than coinbase's price for BCH so eyes watering bought some as a test. It was just 50€ to see if it worked. It did not. The problem was the other exchanges BCH wallet was down so i couldn't deposit it in.
Not to be discouraged I have been looking at other arbitrage sites and opportunities and always have the same issue. Basically the wallet of the currency I want to trade in is down This was for EOS BAT and even LTC.

Is arbitrage possible or is it a case of if it seems too good to be true .....
Sometimes for reasons not caused by you, you cannot move in time and this results in loss. Let's call it your bad luck. Also it is not relate just arbitrage, if such a problem was in trade, the profit would still be reduced. Anyway IMO you should investigate exchange you are going to make a exchange in, because most of the time, they explain when and what the problem will be.
858  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: what trading has made me on: January 28, 2019, 09:16:51 PM
the cryptocurrency evolution has changed my lifestyle. i am now an addict.
imagine my routine life daily:

Coinmarketcap.com
Binance.com /kucoin.com

coingecko.com
cryptocompare.com.

And finally, Airdrops and telegram group.

Please pray for me. I need serious deliverance.
Following prices is good, but instead you can set the alarm for the price you need and save more time. Do trade, but less risky trade is more convenient. In fact prices continue to mislead most of the time nowadays. Devote most of your time to learning new tactics, therefore when prices bloom, you will survive with better tactics.
859  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How good were you at understanding Bitcoin tech before investing in it? on: January 28, 2019, 09:02:31 PM
How many books did you read / how many courses did you complete before you started investing in Bitcoin? Can you honestly say: do you really have the time to keep up with the crypto world or at some point you just started to believe in tech instead of trying to grasp every single crypto feature?
I have been trading with other assets before and faced with it and as time goes by, I learn more as I try. I guess if you have been engaged in trading in the past, you should not work hard with courses(especially Forex). In fact crypto trade is easier and more profitable because of price volatility, unless huge risks are taken.
860  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: On merchants not willing to accept crypto on: January 28, 2019, 08:14:58 PM
[...]

bitcoin is very volatile, such high volatility becomes a major barrier for merchants to accept bitcoin as a means of payments

I don't particularly disagree with your points

However, if you are a big merchant with thousands of clients paying or willing to pay with Bitcoin, you can either mass-hedge directly against price volatility (this will cost you around 1% yearly at max) or use third party services that specifically deal with this issue. Besides, we should keep in mind that with expansion of Bitcoin adoption volatility is set to taper off eventually as real value, which comes through such use, takes away from volatility just like speculative value adds to it
I do not think any technique can easily stand against price volatility. If it was easy, none of us would lose

It is in fact quite easy

Most of us are not doing this because a) we simply don't know how b) hedging against volatility means we are sacrificing future profits via "buying low selling high". But for merchants and producers (who are not interested in speculation), it is a working strategy which is widely used everywhere in the world (I'm not talking about crypto specifically here). If you want to hedge against future price change, you can hedge with futures or options. With crypto, you just open a short position equal to the amount held. In that case, you are 100% protected from any price move, though, as I said, you can also kiss goodbye to your profits as well

In others it is possible, because the price is not so volatile. In my opinion everything is not what you said, for instance if you have a big percent of market you can go against price volatility that moves 100 pip up and 100 pips down in 1 hour. And here, not naturalness, your laws are valid and this is not welcome by any investor and you will lose anyway.
