841  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coin Burn? on: April 25, 2021, 03:05:31 PM
What happens with coin burning?  Im guessing it will decrease the total available but not sure

I read this could be happening with TRX (Tronix)
I have not heard anything in the name of tronix but the abbreviation TRX is well known for TRON (I agree these days same short forms are being used on different platforms so getting confused in most common because of such repeating names). Let me check on coinmarketcap about tronix so that I may learn something new today.

Let me explain about burning process: it is kind of losing key for your coins so that you will not able to make use of that coins. This is being done to have impact on circulating supply which will usually lead to value appreciations. I guess BNB platform is having in-built functionality for burning process whereas I am not seeing such things for ERC20 tokens.

I think you heard the last news about the Turkish stock exchange:
https://decrypt.co/68703/billion-dollar-rug-pull-turkish-bitcoin-exchange-goes-dark
Customers fear a rug pull as Turkish crypto exchange Thodex abruptly halted trading.
At any time, money can be blocked for an unknown time.
Recently, I have not been trading on centralized exchanges and have kept as much money there as it’s not a pity to lose
It’s never good to trust any exchanges at all, and it’s not only about issues like this, there are other things that can happen and affect you.

Anyone that is trading cryptocurrency should always make sure that they have a private wallet they are storing their main funds, and the money they want to trade with can then be moved to their exchange wallet so that if the exchange happens to do anything or gets hacked you wouldn’t have to regret that much.As for what this exchange has done, I can’t tell you whether it’s what you think or not since I have not used the exchange before, and I don’t know about them.

What is your opinion on the bitcoin price crash? I am trading with the Bill Williams trading system and all looks good on the weekly time frame, and on monthly its like nothing happened! what do you think guys and what indicators do you use?
Lol the truth is that nobody knows the answer to this question that you have asked, and as usual all they are going to be doing is to be guessing the answer to it. Some have said that it has to do with Biden and his tax policy changes, then there have also been those who said that it is something that has to do with the lights out in china ,since a lot of bitcoin mines were affected by the lights out.

I don’t know the current situation of things there, but hope it got better. Then I have also seen other things being said, but I am not sure about them.
844  Economy / Speculation / Re: What Could Have Caused Bitcoin to Flash Crash On Sunday? on: April 24, 2021, 05:37:37 PM
I am confused about the sudden dump of cryptocurrencies. can anyone explain that why this happen on Sunday?
It’s still unclear as to what might have led to the crash, but the main news that I have been seeing in the internet as to why the market dropped this low is because of a few reasons and the first one is something that has to do with US Treasury having plans to take actions against money laundering with cryptocurrencies. I don’t know if this might have truly triggered the market to start falling like this.

Then the next has to do with the next blackout that took place in China in the Xinjiang region, I have also seen posts where people were referencing Coinmarketcap and the rate at which has dropped due to the blackout.
845  Economy / Economics / Re: FINALLY ALL MONETARY AUTHORITIES IN THE WORLD WILL ADOPT BITCOIN on: April 24, 2021, 05:00:19 PM
The percentage of bitcoin users is growing all the time in all countries. The monetary authority's concern about the presence of bitcoin has turned into an opportunity for trust. For example, currently more than 35 percent of bitcoin circulation in America and in the next 10 years the percentage of funds invested or converted into bitcoin will be very significant.
 This phenomenon will be absorbed by the majority of countries in the world to then take strategic steps through the regulation of their monetary authorities in accommodating the existence of bitcoin. This was created because bitcoin was able to guarantee equal trust without intervention so that it was considered fairer and safer.
And in the next 20 years bitcoin will become the single standard means of transaction in the world beyond the role of the US dollar, yuan, yen, euro and others. The creation of a world financial mechanism that is more efficient, easy, safe, equal and reliable.
Yes, countries are not going to be banning bitcoin, and I believe that some of those that banned will come to a change of mind and lift the ban and allow crypto businesses to come into the country and people will be free to make use of it. Those of them that have banned bitcoin have seen that it is leading them to nowhere.

Imagine banning bitcoin when there is growth and there are lots of cryptocurrency businesses being established and providing jobs for the citizens, that’s not going to lead the country to anywhere, they will be the ones who are losing, since those cryptocurrency companies will move to countries where they are free to operate, and that, still, doesn’t stop people from using cryptocurrency.
846  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: London High Court: Craig Wright to sue Bitcoin.org operator-publisher on: April 24, 2021, 04:16:32 PM
Wright successfully registered US copyright for the Bitcoin 0.1 in April 2019 and his spokesman claimed it was "the first government agency recognition of Craig Wright as Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin" but the United States Copyright Office issued their own statement with the following: "the Copyright Office does not investigate whether there is a provable connection between the claimant and the pseudonymous author."

The almost universal consensus clearly is that he is NOT the inventor of Bitcoin so what are the real reasons that are driving Wright to these lengths?
I don’t know if this guy ever gets tired of doing things that are really stupid as he’s doing right now, seriously it’s very annoying , every time he is on the news for things that are not making any sense at all. Before he talks about suing Cobra, he should first of all bring the proof that he is the real Satoshi Nakamoto. If he can prove that to the world that he’s the real Satoshi, then nobody is going to question him for every decisions and actions that’ he makes. But as for now, he’s not the Satoshi Nakamoto, so he’s saying nonsense. He’s already losing this battle, just that he ashamed to quit and is being stupid at the same time.
847  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoins kill Central Banks? on: April 24, 2021, 12:40:37 PM
Unless governments recognize and label Bitcoin as a real-time currency, Bitcoin has little less hope of killing off central banks any time soon. Having said that, central banks across the globe are very keenly watching and understanding what Bitcoin is doing. As we all know that metal coins are expensive to manufacture and most of the time their face value is kind of cheaper than their manufacturing cost, we shouldn’t be surprised if central banks one day issues digital currencies under their name.
That is the exact reason why they should adopt it sooner rather than later. The earlier banks adapt and adopt some or the other form of Blockchain the more relevant they will remain. Bitcoin has established a lot of partnerships with FinTech firms I order to develop the applications of Blockchains in their capital markets. That could explain why big banks have been eagerly warming up to Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies which use Blockchain.
Well, what you have to know is that central banks cannot kill off Bitcoin, that’s not going to be easy, in fact it’s not possible for that to happen because when they break down the centralized wallets and exchanges that we all know, people then start to go for peer to peer and stop making use of centralized exchanges, and in a situation like this there would be no way for them to take down bitcoin. Then as for whether Bitcoin can kill off central banks? I doubt that too, it’s not going to happen, we are just going to have the both of them coexisting.
848  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Exchange tokens all the way on: April 24, 2021, 10:56:27 AM
It's a good time to take some risk with exchange tokens, remember that exchanges tokens are more capable too when bull is alive, last month WazirX, a crypto exchange project that no one is talking about was at 0.08$ and now it's 4$, some are already underestimating ToKOcrypto, another exchange token from binance again, though this isn't a financial advice but how can we change our lives for good if we don't take some risks?
The thing is that those coins or tokens that you have mentioned are not popular, only few people knows about them, so you will hardly see anyone talking about them in the market. That’s why people are hardly choosing to invest in these coins, and also the fact that they are not popular and don’t heavy support like Bitcoin and some top altcoins does discourages people from investing their money in these tokens.

But, if you can find any token and based on your analysis you’re believing it will grow, then it wouldn’t be bad if you invest in it and watch it grow to a higher price.
849  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: April is the real alt season on: April 24, 2021, 10:31:30 AM
Alt season is thriving so much this month. I am missing out for reals. Been trading all year and finally stop this month lol. I took a break n did other hobbies. Like mining.. must have missed out and I waited 4 yrs for this event if u call it that..  still got like 6 months left.. imo .. my real alt bag is ethereum though.. waiting for like 200% gains.. if its truly here lol.. if not this 6 months then a brutal 4 yr bear market again.. history often repeats itself and often rhymes too.
A lot of altcoins have been really well this month, Doge has gone over 300% in a month period right now, and there is also Compound which did like 20% today. And yesterday morning I noticed that Ethereum was the only coin up among the top coins, while they are were all going down.

So, Ethereum will likely be a good choice at this period if that’s the plan you have. Then a lot of people have been talking about dogecoin and that can also be a good choice if it continues the growth, which I am not sure about , it’s up to you to look it up and know whether you should go for it or not.
850  Economy / Economics / Re: Markets taking profit on: April 23, 2021, 07:41:03 PM
A few people may be wondering about the step drop of bitcoin price these last days. It is quite usual for it to move up and down, although lately it seems that movements are faster than usual.

Just take a wider look to understand:

NASDAQ 100, last month + 8%, last year +60%
S&P 500, last month +6.4%, last year +47%
Bitcoin, last month -4%, last year +639%

Since the start of the COVID (in practice) to now, most indexed have exceeded their average returns, not to mention bitcoin. A movement such as this is a consequence and it may still be followed by more falls without meaning anything other than a profit taking and some caution around the ATHs.
I don’t know what has led to the recent drop, but some people, as usual, has been looking for events to tag it to, I have seen a lot of things being said about the drop, but whatever it is, like the op has said, it is a usual thing for Bitcoin. When I checked the charts on coinmarketcap.com I noticed that in the last seven days a lot of altcoins has been growing and they on green, while bitcoin is showing red in the last seven days and has decreased in value. Starting to look to me like the trend is about to change, I guess it’s getting to altcoins season just as I have been seeing that trend in the past few days.
851  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will drop to 20k is not time to buy btc now on: April 23, 2021, 06:08:27 PM
Buying BTC now is extremly risky.This is a bubble what we see now.  Soon the prices will drop to 20k then buy BTC.
But now is not the time at the end of the bull run.
 

Soon we'll reach good point to buy at 20k btc this good price.
now is high price i wouldn't put 60k on btc.
but is good time to buy altcoins that can make you x2-5x
I have not invested in Bitcoin for so long now, because I bought earlier around $11k and I have been holding it since then, and sold some of it to get profit. The rest had been left in my wallet which I plan to sell later when I notice the market is finally crashing. Altcoins has been the only coins I have been buying for now, the good ones that I see I invest in them and also continue with the hodl, because I feel that altcoins might bubble very soon. Bitcoin we can’t tell if the bullish trend is over or not, I don’t know if it’s going to pick up again after dropping this low or not.
852  Economy / Speculation / Re: Game over to Bitcoin Time to sell all on: April 23, 2021, 12:15:42 PM
Bitcoin has a massive crash and it's going to be down and down.
We enter a bear market. dark time for btc.
Wouldn’t be a surprise if it should start falling, bitcoin is a volatile asset, so I don’t get what you mean by game over for Bitcoin, unless you said that in reference to the bull trend. I wasn’t expecting the bull trend that we are seeing now to last as long as it did now, so if it has really lasted this long then it has tried. Check and compare the last bull run to the other ones we have seen in the past years you will see that it doesn’t last this long.

And another thing is that no one was expecting a bull run, if you asked most people before now they would have told you that there can never be bull run this year. The covid virus ruined everything, so why would anyone expect a bull run?
853  Economy / Economics / Re: The Country Cryptocurrency vs Bitcoin on: April 22, 2021, 08:07:37 PM
some time ago the UK finance minister openly said he wanted to beat Bitcoin by creating Britcoin.  i see his ambition is really absurd, even though we know the UK is one of the most powerful countries on earth that has ever controlled 1/4 of the world but beating Bitcoin is mission impossible.

Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency whereas Britcoin is definitely a centralized currency, this is what will make Britcoin just be another Altcoin as usual. 
What makes him believe that the ‘Britcoin’ will be able to beat Bitcoin (BTC)? Seems like he doesn’t know much about cryptocurrency? There have been other countries that came with their own cryptocurrencies which are going nowhere, so what makes them think that their new digital bank is going to be able to do anything better than what the others have done? If it’s going to be gaining any adoption at all, it’s going to be just in their country and no other place, but even at that bitcoin is still going to beat their CBDC even in their own country when it comes to adoption lol.
854  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Erc20 tokens send fee on: April 22, 2021, 04:33:45 PM
I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I want to know if there is some way to send erc20 tokens with low fee.
Current gas fee is very high particularly if one has to send too many transactions. Please if someone know any other way to send erc20 tokens with less fee, share with me and I will appreciate it.
If there was a way to do it for free or for cheaper than other methods, people would have done it long time ago, it would have been public knowledge. Unfortunately you have to pay that high gas fee otherwise you will not be able to send it. I know it sucks and I know it should be lower, it is way too damn high right now, but that is still not a good enough reason to convince some other people to pay cheaper.
Yeah, only reason why it is so high is the fact that some people are fine with it, people keep paying high gas fee and that is the only reason why it still is high, if people decided not to pay that much, wait, then miners would accept lower and lower, and eventually it will be very low. However since there are too many, the one that pays the most gets it.

Now with eip 1559 it will get lower this July, it will only charge what is required for the network to continue.

You can be an investor and a trader while you're sleeping well at night.

As an investor, you just let your investments sleep as if you're not going to touch them soon. And while waiting for them to become big, you can have a sideline of trading.

In trading, you're not really that putting much pressure and you can still trade calmly if you can control your mood.
I agree that I can be a profitable investor even while I will be sleeping but how's that possible with trading as well? I am sorry I could not get your point.

Only investor may stay calm in my experience because traders need to solve lots of hassles so that they could predict the exact movements of markets. So, not taking pressure will not be possible if you are trading but staying calm without any tension will be possible if you remain as a "bitcoin" investor (I mean no other asset may not guarantee you like bitcoin do for its investors).

~~snip
I wish you were right about the worker rights but unfortunately we are at a much more modernize version of the roman republic slavery. Now you may think that it is impossible we could ever be similar, but given those days slaves (who actually worth something) were given housing, wines, chance to marry each other, food, anything basically they would need to survive whereas people today are in responsible for their own well being meaning they are given some paper and told go do whatever we want with it and call it "money" is making things harder and there are much more automation and a lot less people employed, there are so many people and so little jobs so people are afraid of changing their owners, they still do but it is a hard and difficult process and if you are without an owner for too long you starve to death which is why it is not that different.

I may exaggerate a bit but I just do it so you can understand why it is difficult. Plus amazon is trying to block any union deal there is, the current places they have are trying to build an union and they are doing everything to stop it, if they made 90 billion dollars in profit this last 400 days, do you think it is ok for them to try to block unionization? What are they doing in there to make it difficult for unions? I mean if they are so good place they should allow unions as well, but they won't because they are disgusting.

And most of the time they drive all other business around them to bankruptcy so the only good jobs left are amazon jobs because it at least pays more than other places, even if it means you may have to shit in bags once in a while people prefer that so that they won't starve.
859  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustabit – The original crash game on: March 31, 2021, 04:23:30 PM
According to DiceSites, the total profit was 6146BTC on March 2nd, which is roughly where the ATH should have been as well.

Also, interestingly enough, it seems someone (or many people) thought it was a good idea to invest a total 154BTC last week:


Feels like the commission will never get back to something more normal especially with how Bitcoin's price has been changing recently  Tongue
As long as people keep thinking that it is profitable, they are not going to divest that easily, plus loyalty here is to a fault and that's why people do not want to leave. Think about it this way, if you own bitcoins and they are just sitting on your wallet, you are not making any profit at all, there is no chance for you to profit, however if you put it here, there is two options, either you are not going to make any profit here as well and no payment will be done so you will get out with nearly the same amount, or you are going to make a profit from this in the end.

When you have an option to just stay the same way or just go to bustabit for a potential, people will pick bustabit each and every single time, even if it got smaller profits compared to back in the day, it's still profits and that's why I think it's quite obvious we will end up with no divesting huge amounts anytime soon.
860  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: whale tactics? on: March 31, 2021, 08:45:39 AM
you could easily do that with low cap altcoins, on centralized exchanges it's a bit risky as they have their own trading bots which could complicate things.
I don't think any legit centralized trading platform have their own bots for trading to complicate things. There are some low-life exchanges that display fake volumes and trading data but you can't say the same for good exchanges like Binance.

as for Uniswap or similar platforms you can just buy a low cap altcoin with lower trading volume on the dip and with buying from time to time increase the price slowly and many other traders seeing the price go up they would probably join you and make it even easier to pump and when it reached to your price point you can start selling slowly and make a good money out of it, I'm pretty sure that many whales even have their own bots that can do that and they just have to configure it differently for different tokens and trading setups.
Yes, but right now because of high transaction fees on ETH network, I think uniswap is no more a good option.

It goes without saying that it's not very smart doing that with absolute shitcoins as the sell pressure might be too high and it might not work as you wanted it too.
This is precisely the reason why I trade at known centralized exchanges instead of decentralized or lesser known exchanges because the trusted exchanges will only list good coins so at least the market won't collapse suddenly.
