961  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 2% a day Challenge, compound interest. on: March 13, 2018, 04:21:18 PM
Hello guys. So I ran across all these lending platforms, noticing something that caught my eye. Before anyone mentions it, I DO NOT IN ANY WAY SUPPORT, LIKE ,HAVE INTEREST IN, nor have used any lending platforms. But I noticed that they offer a .5%-2% daily return. Making that in crypto isn't necessarily hard to be honest. I also ran across this website http://compoundaily.com/ where I found out that if you start with $1000 USD and you make 2% a day for 365 days, while reinvesting your profits, you come out with $1,376,401 USD at the end of the 365 days. But obviously in crypto we are not necessarily looking at USD price. I started this "Challenge" with .1 BTC, in a new portfolio and in a mindset where 1 BTC will always be $10,000. Why? Well so I can track progress easier, and see what goals I need to hit to be on track. Example: I start with .1000 BTC (Im using 3 zeros to resemble $1000 USD), and on day 30 I should have .1811 BTC if I make 2% daily. I know its not well written or well explained, the "Challenge" or idea that I have in my head, but if any of you guys want to know exactly what I mean let me know, maybe I can explain a little bit better in a voice call or in private messages, and we can start this challenge together with weekly reports and see where we are at. Maybe help each other out.  Smiley
Sorry to say this to you but that is a lot harder than you think, people see that low figure and think well the should be easy but if it was that easy then everyone will be a millionaire and that is not the case, in fact earning 5% to 10% per month is really difficult, when the market is pumping it may seems that is very easy but the market is doing all the work for you it is in the current conditions in which we find out who are the real traders and who are the people that just think that are traders.

Hello, I see where you are coming from, this is a very volatile market, like everyone knows. I've been making 1.5-3% consistently for around a week now. I do cut my losses and I pride myself in risk management. What I have been trying to improve is not getting greedy. This is a challenge that I am doing in a new portfolio which is why I am just taking 1-3% profits and cutting my losses fairly early. I have been stuck watching charts for about 12 hours a day, which is why I think I can/will accomplish this. It does sound to good to be true, although I do think its something that one can achieve. I would be more than glad to get into a call with anyone and see everyones side and opinions on this Cheesy
If you can do it I'm glad for you there are not many people that can however while trading and gambling are different there some examples that we can use that apply to trading, for example in the short term a gambler may even earn money in a game in which he has a negative expected value that is because there are short term fluctuations in the games, and I have seen very weird things happening, however in the long run that person will lose money, I'm not saying that  is going to happen to you but one week of profits is simply not enough to prove you can do this long term.
962  Economy / Economics / Re: Mt Gox Trustee has 160K more BTC - tool to follow if more cold wallets thawed! on: March 13, 2018, 04:14:56 PM
This is a site set up by Matt Odell to track the remaining 162K of Bitcoins in 84 wallets under the control of the Mt Gox Bankruptcy Trustee, and to send an alert if any of the Bitcoins in these wallets are moved - https://goo.gl/eUUHbx - Scroll up to see the background to this, with 40K of Mt Gox Bitcoins having been thawed out of cold storage wallets and moved to exchanges in 5 stages from Dec to Feb with a reported 35,841 BTC sold for $362 mil for Mt Gox creditors (and the rest presumably sold for legal costs) - and a chart of the BTC price from Dec to now showing the falls in the BTC price each of the 5 times the Bitcoins were moved from Mt Gox wallets, culminating in the fall to $6K on Feb 6 the day after the biggest transfer of 18K Bitcoin on Feb 5!

Will the Trustee sell anymore Bitcoin? And looking at the falls in BTC price from its peak of 19K to the nadir of 6K coinciding with the 5 moves of Mt Gox Bitcoins to exchanges from December to February, will the BTC price fall if he does - or is that a coincidence? Either way the BTC hedge funds and whales are likely to short BTC as soon as the Trustee thaws any more BTC from these cold wallets, and being alerted to such a move may be important information. And I’ve never known a bankruptcy receiver that sits on a realisable asset!

Something overhanging the market to contemplate along with TA perhaps ...
I have read that there is not going to be anymore bitcoins  for sale until September of this year, it is very clear to me they are trying to maximize their profits if they sell more of their coins then the price will get lower and they will get less for those coins so they are going to try to let the market recover and then they will sell again so you need to prepare for another crash in the future.
963  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC right now on: March 12, 2018, 05:04:25 PM
Bitcoin is not stronger then before , a lot of people lost money on bitcoin who bought at 20-17k , only some of then i think just hodling from those price , many of them out and fixed loss , also hype was in 3 times less then before on bitcoin  and crypto , so bitcoin need time to recharge and fire again.
Those that sold for a bad price are going to regret it, I know it can be hard to but at top the market but they needed to hold and wait after all they were the ones doing that mistake and you cannot correct your mistakes by doing another in this case selling your coins, because once you sell your coins you realize your losses, before selling your losses were only paper losses but now are real losses.

Its price is now affordable, but wait, there is a big storm right now my friend .. haha ​​wait a little more ... and preserve your USDT number
It is precisely at time like this where we should be thinking about in which coin to invest, all the market is for sale the only thing you need to do is decide in which coin you are going to invest but you need to be quick we do not know how much longer the current bear market is going to last at all it could last for a few more weeks or months so take advantage of this limited opportunity.
965  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I Received An Email From MyEtherWallet on: March 12, 2018, 04:42:03 PM
I also receive a lot of letters from MEW, but you understand that this is phishing. In fact, this is the whole industry that is unfolding today very much. I think that today you need to be very careful.
The thing I wonder is how do they can get our email after all when you create a wallet in my ether wallet you are not required to input an email so how do they know that you are holding some tokens, are they able to hack the websites of icos and then get their mailing lists? Because I find it very suspicious they able to get our emails at all, maybe it could be a good idea to have a throwaway email.
966  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: All crptocurrency at a single exchange. on: March 12, 2018, 04:38:21 PM
Is it safe to keep your all crypto currency at a single exchange (bitfinnix)?Or one should choose multiple exchanges.
It is a very big mistake to keep all your cryptocurrencies in a single exchange, you are taking a huge risk if your account is hacked you will lose everything you have work hard for, if the exchange is hacked then not only your coins are at risk but the coins of thousands of users so only keep what you need to trade in an exchange everything else should be in your own wallet under your control.
967  Other / Off-topic / Re: How wars can affect Bitcoin? on: March 11, 2018, 11:19:18 PM
While commenting on one of threads over here. A really interesting thought popped into my mind. What will happen when there will be coming a huge war?
Even a World War III? Will Bitcoin pump or dump? What role will Bitcoin play? We all know the economy and the currencies are very vulnerable in wars.
I would like to hear some interesting thoughts, even maybe some full detailed articles? Anything would be very welcomed.
It depends on the scope of the war, if the war is local then that is not going to have a great effect on the price of bitcoin however if it's as big as you are proposing and we have a World War III then everything is over, nuclear weapons would probably be used at that point and it's likely that the Internet will become heavily censored it and it's likely the same will happen with bitcoin at least on the first stages of the war but if the war is as bad as we think bitcoin will be the last of our problems.
968  Economy / Speculation / Re: What will you do with your Bitcoin in 2018? Will it become more valuable? on: March 11, 2018, 11:13:42 PM
During the new year of 2018, many of us Bitcoiners have resolutions to make our capital and Bitcoin holdings grow. Most will hodl onto their coins for the long-term until Bitcoin reaches an all-time high that would satisfy their goals. Other will sell their Bitcoin when they start to see prices falling below their targeted goal.

One thing for sure, is that 2017 has brought us many exciting things for crypto land. Bitcoin and rest of altcoins in existence have risen in value exponentially over the course of the year. Now that 2018 is in its very beginnings, I would like to know what will you do with your Bitcoin (either hodl, buy more, or sell) and will the pioneer cryptocurrency rise further in price?

Whenever you just hodl your coins over the course of 2018 or sell them, Bitcoin will make many more millionaires. What are your thoughts?  Smiley
I don't have plans to do anything with my bitcoin except to keep holding, it is not the most exciting thing to do but it is the safest especially if we take into account everything that is happening right now in the market, the price is very unstable and there is not much indication the price is going to go up again while some may sell under these conditions I think that is a mistake because we do not know when bitcoin will skyrocket again and I do not want to miss that.

Utility оf а tоkеn is thе mоst fundаmеntаl mеаsurе tо knоw thаt thе аltcоin will bе а succеss оr nоt... thеn yоu shоuld hаvе thе undеrstаnding оf its mаrkеt...

Utility is not everything, that is very important but the utility is irrelevant if the developers are unable to make the project a reality, you need everything you need great developers, a great idea, smart investors that are able to see the potential in the coin and invest in it, you need a community dedicated to make the project a success by reporting bugs and you also need marketing and luck as well.
970  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: PLEASE LET ENCOURAGE THE MARKET BY START BUYING AND STOP SELLING: on: March 11, 2018, 10:47:00 PM
We can not forbid people to hold their bitcoins because they have their own needs and perceptions of how they apply bitcoin as it should, no power to do it all. But everyone without being asked to buy and store their bitcoin has done it, because they are smart enough to read the market situation that someday there will be a spike, everyone is crazy about it so there are many ways to make bitcoin on top. When the price rises so that there will be a mistake that occurs again.
I think we should encourage people on buying bitcoin because that would benefit them if they can hold for a longer period of time.
People will sell to take profit or to take the money that they need and that is not good because it's like you are investing an amount of money
that you did not allocate or you cannot afford to lose.
At the end the growth in the market needs to be organic, it doesn't matter how much you promote bitcoin among people, the people need to begin to adopt bitcoin because it's on their best interest to do it, if bitcoin begins to work as a currency as it should and keeps working as an investment then more people will adopt it. The growth will not be as fast as we want but as long as bitcoin is still useful we are going to keep getting a growth in adoption.
971  Economy / Speculation / Re: Selling Bitcoin on: March 10, 2018, 07:33:49 PM
You're totally right. If most of the newcomers will have a mindset like you, then the crash of bitcoin will not be as bad as what we have seen lately because everyone that panic sell their bitcoin contributes to the drastic drop of bitcoin's market price.
But it is simply not possible, newcomers are always going to make mistakes they are always going to panic it doesn't matter how much we talked to them that is bad for them to sell when the market is going down they to do it simply because they do not have experience to do otherwise, but eventually if they keep themselves in the market they understand those lessons and will become like us.
972  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin VS bank on: March 10, 2018, 07:31:01 PM
For more than a century, the banking system was used to fund state, endanger the stability of the economic activity, robbing private savings, eliminate one road, promote the financing dependence, even make violent reached an unprecedented scale, all because we do not have different techniques to implement monetary exchange. Now the monopoly is being broken. Bitcoin was born. The fear of the ruling class is only just beginning.

Do you think bitcoin will replace Banks in the future?
The banks are not going down without a fight they would probably prefer the whole system crashes before letting bitcoin take their spot, if that is the case then this could mean that we are going to see one of the biggest crashes in the history of the world, I'm not really sure that I want to see that, however it is also possible that banks adapt to this new environment and learn to use bitcoin to their advantage.
973  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO launch date change? on: March 10, 2018, 07:25:46 PM
I guess there is no issue in a ico changing their launch date and making it 3 weeks sooner is there?
It depends on the reasons, there is the possibility that they thought that some legal issues were going to take a lot of time and they were able to resolve it pretty quickly so they could schedule a new date for the release of the coin if that is the case then you have nothing to worry about in fact this could be a good sign that the developers are doing an even greater job than you thought.
974  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you ready for music on: March 10, 2018, 07:22:10 PM
Why there are so much Viberate threads lately? And new members Roll Eyes
There are two possibilities, these are investors that put their money in that coin and are trying to make it grow in price and are willing to do anything to get to that goal or another possibility is that this is a single person offering some kind of service to pump the coin, if that is the case then it is very likely those new accounts you have seen promoting that project will probably get banned eventually.

976  Economy / Economics / Re: what is the worst thing did you did in crypto world? on: March 09, 2018, 06:58:38 PM
The worst experience for me was that I kept all my funds and altcoins on exchange.. Sad Sad This was a tought lesson so I will never do it again.
This should be warning for all of you not to keep coins and funds on exchanges.

Many of you remember Cryptsy. The owner cashed all funds and disappeared.. Sad story.

Hope he will come to justice soon.

There is probably nothing worst than losing your money for the actions of someone else, losing your money by your own decisions is already bad enough but when you are not totally at fault and someone scammed you or just stole your coins as if it was your case, then it can be really hard to overcome that because some will assume an attitude of why bother anymore trying to increase my cryptocurrency holdings when someone else can steal them so easily.
977  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading FOREX or Crypto? on: March 09, 2018, 06:33:27 PM
For sure Crypto , Forex is like casino where you will already lose , on crypto you win every time when you a right or after good analytic , on forex you will fail time to time until u will go out from it or will loose everything you have.
No market is going to guaranteed you any profits, Forex is heavily manipulated and insider trading happens all the time but cryptocurrencies are not much better whales manipulate the market as they see fit, the exchanges do the same and most of the time the small investor is the one that puts the losses making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
978  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's effect Facebook banned will have on ICOs today on: March 09, 2018, 06:30:39 PM
If your question was what would be the effect on ICOs if Facebook puts a ban on cryptocurrency advertisement, then the answer is quite simply not much of an effect may be the ICOs would lose one platform for advertisement. There are many other social media's where ICOs do their advertisement through us. So that wouldn't make a whole big of an effect to the advertisements of ICOs.
Losing Facebook is big, after all Facebook is probably the biggest social media site in the entire world so they are losing at big platform for them so I think the effects are going to be a lot bigger than many think, this is not going to stop icos, but it is going to slow them down a little bit and when we take into account that the market is kind of slow and the know your customer policy issues then you are talking about a lot of investments lost for the icos.
979  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I Received An Email From MyEtherWallet on: March 08, 2018, 07:06:54 PM
It is better not to click on the links that come to your mail. Try to be careful, the mistake can be quite expensive. Now there are a lot of scammers.
Scammers abound precisely because people do not seem to be able to stop themselves from clicking links in their emails, if people just followed some easy rules about what to do when they receive an email, like no opening the emails that come from people they do not know, we will avoid a significant amount of cases where people lose their coins but the problem is that people think that is never going to happen to them until it does.
980  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IOTA a best investment to put $1000? on: March 08, 2018, 07:02:35 PM
I've 250 IOTA tokens bought in  November under $1 and for some reason never thought of buying more as there isn't much going on with it. Also there are some doubts on tangle technology as no projects has been built on its platform. At same time many still believe 2018 will be the biggest year for IOTA.

Started to thinking whether to buy more Iota with $1000 or invest the amount to increase positions  in to ITC and ICON. What do you guys suggest?
IOTA is an incredibly ambitious and interesting project. If it’s successful, it would be one of the first cryptocurrencies to not only lower the price of Bitcoin, but maybe to render it useless. Due to a large amount of question marks, in technical feasibility, vulnerabilities, and the lack of an open-source coordinator, and that’s a big IF.

The IoT aspect of IOTA is also quite interesting. Giving machines the ability to trade information, services, and goods for income is an interesting proposition using a transaction-free network.

We also have some reservations about the ternary processor system of IOTA. Why not choose a system based on binary? Could this be due to the fact that their CEO,David Sønstebø, HAS experience developing this type of processors, and therefore some bias may exist? We are not sure.

This is still one of the most interesting cryptocurrencies of today, with an almost limitless potential. We wish IOTA token and their team best of luck as they continue to dominate the increasingly-competitive cryptocurrency market.


The interesting thing about IOTA is there is no middle ground if it succeeds then it is going to become one of the biggest projects we have ever seen and bitcoin will need to work very hard to keep its spot at the top of the market cap, but if it is unable to deliver on its promises then IOTA will fail and will have a value of zero since people will lose faith in the project and will think that such a project is impossible to complete with our current technology.
