Yeah. As i said in the subject, is it really worth it?

I mean is it really worth learning how to read its chart?

Btw, What is insurance trading on Bispex exchange? It sounds complicated and quite new concept applied to exchange.

I've toppled with a few online course sites like Coursera and Udemy which offer certificates of completion for the field of Blockchain. I'm aware of a mainstream University called the "University of Nicosia" which is offering a Master's Degree in Blockchain technology. But so far, prominent Universities within the mainstream world haven't offered Blockchain degrees yet. I'm sure that many Universities will start offering this since Blockchain technology is the future of finance. It's no secret that many businesses and companies are seeking talent in Blockchain tech. Having a degree in Blockchain, would allow you to gain recognition within the mainstream world.

Which is why, I'm on the hunt for Universities which are offering Blockchain degrees these days. I'd prefer to take courses online than physically for many obvious reasons. A comprehensive list of Universities offering Blockchain degrees would be helpful. Thanks in advance

The unprecedented Iranian strikes against U.S. military bases in Iraq saw Bitcoin rise as a hedge against the chaos. However, its price movements have cooled as President Trump today announced de-escalation.

Yesterday, Iran launched 15 ballistic missiles at two airbases in Iraq, which caused widespread panic. No casualties were reported. The markets responded accordingly, and Bitcoin saw a significant increase in the aftermath of the attack, as did crude oil.

So this is where Bitcoin dropped from $8,330 to just above $8,000+ in just moments after de-escalation.

For those who have bought during the dip, I think you made a nice profit out there. I just don't know if it could dip even further. For me, it's much better if you sell if you're just a day trader or a short-term holder of Bitcoin.

As for long-term holders until the halving? Oh well, let's see what happens then.

It's just good that the tensions are now eased because of Trump's decision to de-escalate after that revenge attack of Iran's ballistic missiles.

Well, Ripple is not the most beloved cryptocurrency/company; however, the results from their partnerships help a lot to the industry.

This is new year and i expect newbies to get smarter, be careful of new projects that are nothing but pyramid schemes, Multilevel marketing schemes or pyramid schemes may likewise be utilized to swindle crypto investors. Such new companies guarantee enormous degrees of profitability inside a brief period, and regularly convey different individuals to rope in new members. When the part list gets generous and the fraudsters get a sizeable store, they evaporate, leaving all investors seething. The most ideal approach to distinguish such schemes is to take a gander at the project's experience. Such projects will in general evade any perceived organizations or bureaus and have next to no undeniable foundation data, be very careful and limit your losses this new year, all the best.

I am in luck to day The first two topics I opened in this board is about this titan coin. They are kind of making some good post but it is clear that the end game was to shill the coin.

Here, take a look at the two posts I was talking about

I know they are not the very first project to do this method and many more will do the same in the future. If they can freely send an army of shill accounts, I think it's just fair for us to call them out right?

On 25 January 2020 we will faced Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year is not only in the China or Asian, but also for people who have chinese tribe or his descent. So, its will impact to all regions. People usually buy a lot of things to prepared that big day such as new clothes, decoration, foods, traveling, and many more. So that people will sell his bitcoin to buy it. Although not all people doing that i think most of all will do.

I took some bitcoin chart on 2014-2019 when is on celebrate chinese new year.


*Note : Red point is Chinese New Year


If we look it, the price of bitcoin before Chinese new year will slowly drop by time to time until it's happened the day. But, after that the price will grow up and stable again. In 2014 the price get dropped after Chinese New Year is because in 2014 bitcoin get stolen around 744.000 by hacker. And other case in 2018 the price also drop, i think its because Facebook, Google, and Twitter prohibits to promoting online advertising cryptocurrency.

In my opinion the bitcoin price will only drop a bit or stable while facing Chinese New Year 2020. The impact of World War 3 is more influential than other things. All sector such as economic, politic, society, goverment, security can be changed. This can make a country's financial stability and money value unstable. And then bitcoin will be the best option to save their money from inflation or deflation. High demand from people who want bitcoin makes the price of bitcoin go up so that it can covering expenditure on Chinese New Year.

Thats my opinion about bitcoin price on Chinese New Year, how about you guys? Let's discuss it 

Well, I am thinking about investing in Titan coin. Yeah, I researched on this coin a lot and now the project is delivering the apps, exchanges, offers as they promised earlier.

My current portfolio includes

6K$ = BNB
4K$ = EOS
10K$ = ETH
5K$ = BTC

Total: $25k

Now, I would like to include the titan coin in my portfolio: $5K

6k$ = BNB
4k$ = EOS
5k$ = TTN
5k$ = ETH
5K$ = BTC

My strategy is to sell 50% eth coins and invest in TTN Coin. What’s your suggestions experts?
I would like to know your honest review and suggestion on my decision.

Thanks in Advance.

In 2008, there was a huge economic catastrophe in the world. Some banks conspired and deliberately caused this economic disaster. This is why many people were financially disadvantaged and lost their trust in the bank. I think Satoshi made bitcoin to save people from this disaster. That is, Satoshi has created a currency where there is no third party. There will be no central bank. No one can control it. Customer to customer transactions can be done. While Bitcoin has no controller, no one will be able to intentionally disrupt its finances. Bitcoin introduced a new horizon to the world's economy and freed people from this economic catastrophe.

So I think this is why Bitcoin was created. Is that the only reason? Or are there more reasons? What is your opinion?

In 2019, the price of Altcoin has dropped significantly. It is now hoped that the price of Altcoin will improve in 2020. Is that possible?

Bitcoin price is determined by the few whales who happened to hold since the early days. If they want they can pump BTC to 1M $ and if they want they can dump BTC to 100$.
Doesnt matter who you are, A BTC holder or a daily trader, whales control BTC price.
What I mean by whale? The person who have more than million Bitcoin.
Bitcoin technology is great but Market is compeletly different story.

Did you know?

According to experts, their is huge possibility that the token will recover to the value of $23 in the best case scenario.

Let me know your point of view on this?

I've been following the trend news of central banks creating their own digital currencies but a question have since then troubling my mind.

1. These new Central Bank coins are they going to be stable coins or not?
2. What will happen if they are not stable coins? If holding them will be profitable many will leave crypto space and focus on these new coins?
3. Maybe people will just use them as a plus since it's from the government?
4. Will regulations still come after this? I think other coins will be neglected and regulations will only be for coins from government?

At the start of the decade, banks were some of the biggest skeptics about cryptocurrencies. However, as we near the start of the 2020s, banks seem to be heading into a more mature understanding of the cryptoassets that many of us know and covet. Banks are bullish on crypto, and it could change everything.

Previous rendezvous’
Some of the biggest banks in the world initially outed themselves as cryptocurrency skeptics.  In 2017, Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, said that Bitcoin was a “fraud” and that any employee found to be trading it would be fired for being “stupid”. Even as late as April 2018, Deutsche Bank called for a regulatory crackdown on cryptocurrencies, arguing that assets like Bitcoin can lead to an increase in fraud and cybercrime.

Both Dimon and Deutsche Bank have had a change of heart since then. Dimon announced that he now recognizes blockchain’s potential influence on the future of global financial systems, and JPMorgan have released their own blockchain, Quorum.

Deutsche Bank released their Imagine 2030 report, which outlines predictions from top bank officials for the decade ahead. In this report, Deutsche Bank officials make the case for mass adoption of top cryptoassets, like Bitcoin, by 2030.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjzgQpTRSTg&t=10s

What’s in the report?
The Imagine 2030 report states that digital assets “have not managed to take off as a means of payment despite their well-known benefits, such as security, speed, minimal transaction fees, ease of storage and relevance in the digital era.” They go on to outline how this can be overcome, as regulatory hurdles from banks, financial service providers, and governments are eliminated by the common goal to get cryptocurrency to go mainstream.

According to the report, led by Jim Reid, Head of Fundamental Credit Strategy and Thematic Research, “If one of the GAFA [Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon] (or their Chinese counterparts BATX [Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent and Xiaomi]) for example are able to overcome regulatory hurdles… this would broaden the appeal of cryptocurrencies, hasten their adoption, and give them the potential to eventually replace cash,”

The current global financial system is broken. There’s no denying that. According to the Imagine 2030 report, the system is “fragile” because of “decades of low labor costs” and inflation. Over the next 10 years, things will likely change - the current fiat system is unsustainable for working and middle class people, and “demand for alternative currencies, from gold to crypto, could take off.”

According to Deutsche Bank, there are three main obstacles that will need to be overcome in order for crypto to go mainstream:

- Cryptocurrencies will need to “become legitimate in the eyes of governments and regulators.''
- The second hurdle would be to bring “stability to the price, and bring[ing] advantages to both merchants and consumers.” Cryptoassets are volatile, so naturally this would be outlined in the report.
- The third hurdle must “allow for global reach in the payment market,” so, ““alliances must be forged with key stakeholders – mobile apps such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, card providers such as Visa and Mastercard, and retailers, such as Amazon and Walmart.”

However, Deutsche Bank also admits that these “solutions” open up new issues, that could lead to cyberattacks, other digital security concerns, and “basing a robust financial system entirely on electricity consumption,” (cryptoassets aren’t exactly environmentally friendly - check this out.)

The report goes onto cite growing privacy concerns as a reason that cryptoassets could become the “21st-century cash”. “Nearly two thirds of consumers prefer dematerialised to cash payments and a third are concerned by anonymity. These are the two things that cryptocurrencies do best,” the report states. Although there are coins that are total privacy coins, Bitcoin and Ethereum (the two largest coins by market cap), don’t fall into that category.

Banks are bullish on crypto, so now’s the time to get into the market. Whether you want to buy Deutsche Bank stocks or Bitcoin, get your foot in the door with the world’s largest social trading platform, eToro.

Mass adoption in the 2020s?
Banks are bullish on crypto, and that’s good for the industry. As we close off the decade, we’re still nowhere near mass adoption. However, with many banks, governments, and regulatory bodies seemingly warming up to the idea of cryptoassets, we could be in for a very good run in the 2020s. Deutsche Bank’s Imagine 2030 report is really only a small taste of what’s to come.

Apparently the price has trebled on the local Bitcoins market. So is it rich people trying to preserve their wealth, or is it people using it for everyday purchases? Mohammad Reza Pourebrahimi, chairman of Iran’s economic commission, has stated that more than $2.5 billion has been transferred out of the country via Bitcoin. Will this be the primary function of Bitcoin as we creep towards World War 3?

The rate of desperation in the cryptocurrency industry is really hitting the roof.

 I decided to take this medium to enlighten users to protect themselves and their assets against a new scam in town.

 A guy by name "Allen Stanley" messaged me on telegram.
 He said he wants us to make money together.
 I told him to go on, he said he works with Betxloot.com,a crypto betting site.

 He said he could make anyone he likes to win the bet, that he can proof it if I want, but I had to create an account on the above site and bet with at least $70.

He said he would have done it himself, but the team already knew him and his wallet address, so he wanted to make another person win and share in the winning 50/50.

 I told him I didn't have such money, so he insulted me, after which I told him to bring the $70 for the betting, then he will take 60% if he makes me win.

 He told me to give him my username on the site, which I did, immediately he sent $70 to my dashboard.
 He told me to place a bet, which I did, when the bet which lasts about 2mins was up, he made me a winner.

 I won $4998, he dropped his btc address and told me to withdraw and then send his 50%, to me it was too good to be true.

So I attempted to withdraw to my btc wallet, and a message popped up, it read "because it's a new account, your assets are frozen, you will have to deposit about $100 - $170 to unfreeze your account.

When I showed him a screenshot, he pretended as though it was random, he started persuading me to deposit $100 to unfreeze the account,so I could withdraw the huge sum I had won.

 I believe by now you too have come to understand that it is a scam site, Allen Stanley is working to get people deposit $100 to get a winning that is not real.

 Even other members of the platform were chatting of a game that doesn't exist, making it seem like a normal activity, which we already know they are all part of this scam group.

Please do not fall for this new scam betxloot.com, they might want to entice you with huge winnings, but a they want us your btc, don't give in.

I'm here to clear few facts about some crypto coins, i will start with exchange tokens, people are getting things mixed up when it comes to real use case, many thinks once a coin has a real use case it's a must buy well this is for you, let me start with binance, i love the exchange simply because of the seriousness of the team and CEO himself i believe that's why they made it this far but im not 100% sure about bnb token because it's use case ends on the binance exchange, outside the platform it's nada,  i belief any good real use case should be for the public but bnb token is limited in this area, everything about bnb ends on it's exchange.

My second point is pointing towards Proof of Stake coins, we all love earning with no big hassle like POW coins but at the same time have you ever think that apart from the POS ability what is the use case of the token or coin itself? Many keep making this mistake that once a coin has staking ability it's the best, this is why many POS coins loses value while you are holding them to get your reward annually.

I believe that POS ability is just a +, assuming the use case of a coin is for means of payments either with many merchants or so and the coin still has staking ability makes more sense than a coin with just staking ability alone, please be wise with the ways you define your real use cases

Hello, Lets talk about staking portion for a new generation of investment that you don't need trade cryptos but you can profit by locking tokens or coins?

I saw an staking today and the project called Elrond, Their staking has have 10 wave or phase of staking and now was on wave 2, the total supply was 17,000,000,000 ERD and only circulating was 6.612B each wave will be end if they reach the maximum 500M capacity. And the price still down fall, What is your opinion if they reached until the wave 10 and its almost all of circulating supply will be locked for a minimum 30 days up to 1 year.

The space is getting larger and have more coins than we expect, some just makes up the numbers even after 2-3 years of launch; no use case, incompetent teams and some with team exit scam but still on exchange . I dont know why I feel they should die than than adding up to the challenge of altseason pump, dont like the sight on the coinmarketcap as well as the exchange. Some feelings for death might be different, so share your thought on this.
