Lol. I think many of already saw this coming. Jamie dimon knows how things work in this industry and since calling bitcoin all sorts of negative things didn't seem to bring it down for good, might as well get in the wagon. Xrp is doing quite well so i think their jpm coin won't fare badly as well.

Well those are really helpful tips and are essential especially for newbie traders. But i think the key to be able to feel it for yourself. Make your research and then apply it. Practice with little amounts. Don't br afraid of losses because it's certain that you will have losses at the start. Take everything in and learn from them. It's important to understand that it's normal and it's ok  to make mistakes.
983  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The HODL meme and its impact on Bitcoin on: February 16, 2019, 04:50:07 PM
Not good, not bad, no major effect for me. It's a term used for within the crypto community and there are even users who don't place too much attention to the terminologies being used.
984  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ATMs doubled every year since 2014 on: February 16, 2019, 04:47:19 PM
This is good news since having more ATM is correlated to increase in adoption; more opportunities people to use it, the more it will integrate into society. I just hope that they put in reasonable fees when using their service otherwise it would backfire.

Well it's all about mass adoption and these atms will certainly generate curiosity among people which is always good. Though even if the number of btc atms doubled, i think we're still at the initial stage and it would take a longer time for what we're hoping for.
985  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Bitcoin Community Is Now Dominated by Speculators Not Criminals!! on: February 16, 2019, 04:44:41 PM
People are now getting use to bitcoin and it technology and at that the means which people where fraud through in past is now being block and at that people now can detect the activities of fraud on sporting it, the rate has decrease greatly and in time to come it will be free of fraud that is the essence of decentralization.

Nah i doubt it. Even fiat with all it's security features that's been here for the longest time is still easy target for frauds and scams so crypto will always have that issue as well. Though i never thought that crypto was dominated by criminals in the first place. Big investors always are at the top of industries like this and speculations can be manipulated by legitimate events and news.
986  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can REGULATION Really Be Beneficial to Bitcoin? on: February 16, 2019, 04:41:21 PM
Regulation maybe can be beneficial in bitcoin or cryprtocurrency. But we don't know if later the regulation can make limit of crypto users or not.
As long the users of crypto can using their coins with fully function, then it will be good. The regulation doesn't always bad, sometimes it give advantages to the users.

Well of course there would be compromise if ever crypto will be regulated. But for me, regulation adds security to users and it leads to confidence in investors. Yes anonymity is good, but security can easily be compromised by hackers and scammers who by the way, are getting better as the years go by.
987  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would Bitcoin be the same if Satoshi wasn't anonymous? on: February 16, 2019, 04:38:06 PM
It wouldnt, i think that the vision of satoshi would be the only one with value in that distopic reality, something like ethereum and vitalik buterin

I think there will be a difference when Satoshi is known and still supporting and developing the Bitcoin that we know. First off, if Satoshi is around, a lot of people will approach him to tell him good or great upgrade or improvements to do with the crypto currency he made. Second, I guess since he made it, there will be a rivalry of owning it, not of people but country. That is just my opinion though.

Or maybe Satoshi is into something that we don't know yet as other part of his reason of staying anonymous, because once he gets known. Media will surely expect a lot from his capability. Can he do this and can he do that, when we're speaking about digital entities that will surely be globally used and not just specifically to where he is currently right now.

Well, that might be true. There are some rumours about the two sides of what might be Satoshi Nakamoto is planning to do. There is this theory about the Good and the Bad Satoshi. The good Satoshi they are saying is that he will be controlling the price in order for it not to drop using the million Bitcoins he has, the other side, the Bad Satoshi is that he will be keeping all of the Bitcoins he has and if the time comes that the price is good, he will be selling all of it leaving his creating into rubbles.

It seems you're assuming that satoshi nakamoto is an actual person here. We don't even know if it a single person or a group of guys or just an avatar lol. I'm pretty sure that if the guy is real, we would know him by now so i don't think he can't be anonymous because he's not an actual person. And yes bitcoin will still be the same regardless if someone claiming to be satoshi shows up.
988  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Now you can buy Bitcoin from the grocery store on: February 16, 2019, 04:13:19 PM
Buying bitcoin from a the grocery store is step ahead in adoption easily available for users to buy bitcoin this step will definitely ease of getting bitcoins
USA is developed country so it is not impact of the entire world. Because many peoples are aware in Bitcoin so majority of the Americans also involved in crypto holding so we should spread the some other country is a right option and I appreciate this initiative of grocery store.

I'm sure it'll become more common in the coming years. We even have btc atms now and i think access to btc in grocery stores are much easier to attain. This just shows the trajectory of btc towards becoming adopted. Slowly, btc is being used in simple transactions already and in time, especially if btc becomes a little more stable, mass adoption is coming.
989  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you buy National Lottery tickets with Bitcoin in your country? on: February 16, 2019, 04:04:28 PM
Nah! National lottery tickets are too common for regular people so even if they would accept crypto or bitcoin as payment, i doubt most people would use it. I'm even quite confident to assume that those who often place lottery bets don't yet understand what bitcoin is.
990  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin history, a fact for each day! on: February 16, 2019, 04:01:42 PM
Well this is a good list for most people who wants to keep track of what has happened in the past. Sometimes these events still have an effect on the market. Also for those trying to historically analyze major events, this is a good, simple source. So thoughtful of you dude 😛
991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Pre-Season on: February 15, 2019, 05:38:08 PM

I dont know if its just me but the All Star week has become the most boring event in the NBA. I'd choose the regular game week over the All-Stars.

Obviously regular games are way different in All-Star game. No need to choose over those. The first night event will be consists of new players that is already giving a spotlight in the league, that's make it more interesting to watch compare to prior All-Star events.

Anyways, Im with Team World like anybody here. But Team USA really have the advantage here not just because of experienced but they are mostly role players. Well then, entertainment purposes and I think Team World will be the one who will aggressive here. Smiley

Will not place a bet for this. No gambling for now this All-Star Weekend.

Enjoy the event guys!

Team world is stacked! Though i have to agree that the level of interest in this all start game or all star weekend in general, has declined over the years. I guess seeing some teams forming superteams with starters being allstars have taken it'll on this specific event.
992  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bullish trend has commence! on: February 15, 2019, 05:29:37 PM
It takes more time for us to say that bullish trend has started. As of today, 3 out of top 10 cryptocurrencies are still in the red marks. The remaining 7 cryptos were gradually increasing its price. We can say that bullish trend has started if it continually increase for two months or more.

It is true that we can not be sure that the bullish trend begins, but the signals we observe means that market is stabilizing. Maybe this is not the proper start of the bull run, but such signs let us at least believe that it will come soon.

Well lets cross our fingers. A few upward movement isn't exactly an indication of a bull run and for btc, a quick pull back always happen when it starts to go on a positive move. It's february and it's too early to expect any major positive movement, much less a bull run.
993  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Let's talk about this Bittorrent situation $BTT on: February 15, 2019, 05:26:27 PM
It is still not very clear why one really needs this coin when bittorrent or other torrent clients work for free anyway. Anyway, the coin has done really good after the ICO.

Well almost all hyped coins did well after ico stage and btt has never lacked hype. Bittorrent back in the days was extremely popular for file sharing regardless if it's pirated files. Even the eth founder specifically mentioned btt as an example for crypto that has or will have actual working use.
994  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Why I believe Bitcoin will remain number 1 on: February 15, 2019, 05:16:56 PM
Many argue that one of the altcoins can probably in the future beat Bitcoin and be number 1 in CoinMarketCap. I believe Bitcoin will be never beaten by any altcoin, especially centralized one, because Bitcoin is decentralized, is the first crypto currency created, and worshipers of Bitcoin will increase over the time.
If another Bull run happens, Media will only talk and focus on Bitcoin, new comers in crypto will learn about Bitcoin first and foremost.
I believe in crypto. But I worship Bitcoin. And all the coming bull runs will be led by Bitcoin.

Bitcoin was the first and here to stay the first, if Jp Morgan coin will not put billions into their token and beat the marketcap Cheesy
Otherwise, bitcoin will be the most liquid, capitalized and most trusted in crypto space. First is always first.

Who knows. Well probably you're right for the next couple of years but it's not impossible that another crypto may take btc's place. It may be one of the top coins in cmc or probably it hasn't been conceived yet as of now. The only thing that's for sure is that anything can happen in crypto even if it's as massive as changing of the top coin.
995  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will ethereum get to $500 this year? on: February 15, 2019, 05:02:01 PM
In the past some coins has shown surprise upwards movement and ethereum been one of the popular coins has shown significant pump in 2017 and early 2018! Will ethereum get to $500 this year even if sec approved ETF?
It's too hard and it's like an impossible task. ETH can only increase to $ 20-50 and its price will be dumped because previous investors will try to sell all to reduce losses in this market.
i think it's possible for Ethereu can reach price in $500 untill the end of this year, if we see data in every end of year cryptocurrency experienced a significant increase

Nah i doubt it. Or it's more likely that eth will stay under 200 for majority of this year. I'd be surprised if it even breaks the 200usd level. Though i'm not too worried because ether is an established coin with solid following. The rise of it may not be that quick but i believe it'll peak in a few years breaking previous aths.
996  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Sell BTT to buy more TRX, the power of compounding? on: February 15, 2019, 04:58:23 PM
I think holding TRX is a better decision than holding BTT coins for airdrop! Even I have confusion about the over-hyped BTT coins! Only 700 people bought billions of BTT coin from the sale, and after the sale, coin started trading immediately. I think big buyers will manipulate the BTT coin's real price.

It's possible. This coin is overly hyped mainly because bittorrent is not something new to people's ears. Most of us have used torrent in the past one way or another before it became easier to download and stream stuff online. Personally i like the chances of both btt and trx for a long hold.
997  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: how to promote the cryptocurrency. on: February 15, 2019, 04:55:38 PM
if I myself promote the crypto currency on Facebook and on Instagram, because with that there will be many people who are curious and finally ask me

Well i think you wouldn't need that in social media since it's not hard to come across crypto related articles and news nowadays. Memes, videos, analyses, advertisements, they're everywhere. The problem is that most of these put crypto in negative light so the challenge would be to change people's general perspective. And it's not an easy thing to do.
998  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BitTorrent Continue To GROW !!! on: February 15, 2019, 04:51:03 PM
It is not unexpected if BTT has become a popular coin to have good development. The team is good at managing strategies so we are made a nice surprise. Hope and optimism are always good things in the future.

Well bittorrent was pretty popular back then and i think people still remember the time when they go to torrent for their downloads. Justin sun did a good job acquiring and integrating it to the tron platform and the hype is obviously there. Short term probably for a pump in price but i believe this is one coin that has a real good actual use.
999  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can Bull run bring about the resurrection of ICOs and dead Altcoins? on: February 15, 2019, 02:03:42 PM
I think that it will not give anything, investment capital has already been spent for projects. Therefore, it is easier for them to close it and create a similar one, and if the coins were dead and did not have demand and development, then where would it come from with the bull.
bull will come, if some of your altcoin assets die, and don't have value, it becomes a very bad project, because they can't survive. Look at some assets that are able to survive and still have their community. like ethereum which is now able to rise even if only slightly.

A bad project is a bad project and if a coins is dead because it doesn't seem to have any use for the future, then no bull run or any movement in the market will be able to revive it. People have learned their lessons from the 2018 debacle.
1000  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which Cryptocurrency Should You Still Have In 2019 on: February 15, 2019, 01:58:02 PM
Now there are so many coins and tokens that we can have. indeed all are in our choice. but now we really have to be smarter in choosing. if in doubt it is better to choose top cmc which has proven good
- Indeed, we have a lot of options at the present time when the value of altcoin in the crypto market is very low, everything still cannot come back completely after the collapse and strong influence of bitcoin, the market situation is like that but exactly as you say, we cannot be subjective in the choice, the risk is at the alert level. And to optimize safety and limit risk, we should choose potential altcoin, located high on cmc because potential altcoin always has a strong community and a strong development team, they are really the factors that help the recovery and return, choose them as a contract with high assurance and low risk

Well if you're looking for steadiness and are willing to go the long way, yeah probably the safest would the the top coins in cmc. Though i doubt that any of these will have significant movement this 2019. Btc, eth, ripple, bch and the others would likely take you beyond 2019 to make good profit. There won't be any massive pumps for these established coins anymore.
