1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / What do you hate the most about your current exchange? on: March 12, 2019, 05:22:20 PM
I'm really curious about what other people hate about their exchanges, maybe if we start complaining loud enough the exchanges will improve or new exchanges will solve these issues.

Right now what I hate is the fact that I don't have access to the private keys of my funds, I don't feel secure because of that.

Also, I would for the process to be simplified and streamlined, I want to buy crypto with Fiat as easily as I buy stuff on Amazon.

So, what would you change? what would you remove? and what would you add?

Hay que diversificar en distintos tipos de activos financieros y en el tiempo

Diversificar en acciones, en bonos del tesoro, en plata, en oro y en criptomonedas

Sino, va a pasarnos lo que le pasó a Nelson Bunker Hunt
https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias/2014/10/141022_economia_magnate_bunker_hunt_perfil_wbm

En lo personal me estoy concentrando ahora en el mercado de criptomonedas pero despues que haya aumentando mi capital voy a diversificarme con acciones y bonos

Banks have massive power, not only economic power but also political power, as their top executives have contacts with most Governments and political parties of the world

Being realistic I don't think crypto will destroy the banking system in its current form BUT if we start gaining momentum with mass adoption and people start saving with Crypto instead of a banking account, we can start to take away the unlimited power banks hold right now.

We need to mature as a market and a space to get more people to save in crypto and really start creating a more decentralized economy and society.

Hubo una temporada (2017) que la miraba a diario varias veces por día, al igual que el Blockfolio.

Hoy me he dado cuenta que las inversiones son mejores hacerlas a largo plazo, estoy tratando de aprender como si fuera desde 0 y buscando generar un verdadero capital y no solo hacer las cosas a corto plazo.

5  Local / Mercado y Economía / Re: Algún país podría adoptar una Criptomoneda? on: March 12, 2019, 04:41:06 PM
Yo en lo de Venezuela, me refería a los usuarios, mineros de andar por casa... es decir los propios Venezolanos con las criptos clásicas, y las shitcoins de turno.

Cualquiera que conozca la realidad del pais, sabrá que muchos, están sacandose un dinerito minando con su ordenador (no mucho, pero gracias a no pagar electricidad, y al valor del dolar, compensa), tradeando, usandolo como reserva frente a la brutal inflacción y para realizar ingresos de emigrantes.

El tema del Petro, que es lo que supongo comentaís... me parece una broma de mal gusto, que lo único que busca, es captar y engañar a todos los que de algún modo usán o pudieran usar las criptos para protegerse del sistema.
Si, tienes toda la razón, aunque en Venezuela hubiece sido un gran experimento haber adoptado el Bitcoin, creo que debido a la locura de economía que existe, una adopción de la misma tal vez el impacto a nivel mundial hubiece sido impresionante,  la demanda del mercado habría subido sin duda alguna. Aunque gran parte importante de la población ignora está tecnología, el hecho de que sea una economía alternativa lo hace ver muy atractivo para los que conocen y operan.

Venezuela es el país que mas posibilidades tiene de pasarse al uso enteramente de criptomonedas, incluso con la volatilidad del Bitcoin, debido a la mega inflación que ha tenido el bolivar ahorrar en Bitcoins siempre llevaba a un aumento del poder adquisitivo

Tristemente los ataques del gobierno de maduro contra los mineros y algunos traders han impedido un poco que siga creciendo la adopción en Venezuela

I live in Uruguay, South America, we currently don't have many shops accepting BTC, but a new coffee shop has created new crypto (using a ERC20 token) for use as a token to buy stuff

I will probably drop by and buy some coffee using their token. It may not be much but the place has been promoted on the news and may help a lot in growing adoption around here.
7  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto Vs Lotto on: March 12, 2019, 04:31:47 PM
There are currently 855 Coins in CoinMarketCap
That means coins that actually have some volume and are present in some markets.

Even if you could only invest in one of those you would odds of 1 in 855 incredibly higher than the
1 in 13,983,816 of lotto

If you take the time to research, study the markets and read the whitepapers you probably could drop most of those having a short list of projects of 100.

That means 1 in 100.

With more time, more money and more effort you can increase your chances even more, that's the big advantage of crypto, massive rewards for those that truly understand the technology, and put in the effort.
8  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you have a prediction? on: March 11, 2019, 03:30:56 PM
We are aproaching the bottom, I would say between 5K to 10K EOY.

This is based on the 6000 range we mantained through most of the 2018, once BTC starts gaining momentum again we could break 4K and 5K then stabilize around there and grow steadily towars 10K by the end of the year
9  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Did you lose your confidence as an investor? on: March 11, 2019, 03:28:37 PM
Never, I have been liquidated, seen my shitcoins go to 0, and lost an account (because of losing a 2fa device)

But I still believe crypto is the way forward, the whole evolution of money from coins to paper money to digital money to cryptocurrency, is a natural and inevitable move.
10  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The death of cash on: March 11, 2019, 03:27:05 PM
I keep seeing forecasts that cash payments are dying, and they will not be used in the future. The OED defines cash as "Money in coins or notes, as distinct from cheques, money orders, or credit." It may be probable that soon the use of coins and notes will not be commonplace for everyday transactions for the general population, but governments are busy creating gold coins for the wealthy to use as untraceable payment methods. In the UK, the government has even given tax advantages to users of its gold coins, including Sovereigns and Brittanias. A Brittania is currently worth over £1,000, so it is unlikely to be used in the purchase of a coffee, but they are being used for payments between countries, and for other larger settlements. No doubt some of those will be for illegal goods and services. They can also be used to reduce inheritance tax, as the value of a Britannia is fixed at £100 for the purposes of estate duty.

The interesting question relates to crypto-currencies. One wonders when some coins, such as Bitcoin for example, will be included in the definition of "cash".


The process of accepting paper money as cash was also quite long, and it also started with private enterprises like banks issuing their own banknotes that were used as cash, eventually moving towards mass adoption

I believe the cryptospace will experience a similar evolution but in a much faster way, we are already way ahead than the first banks
11  Economy / Economics / Re: Will BTC defeated in 2019? on: March 11, 2019, 03:22:27 PM
It was a good thing to see so many useless ICO's and shitcoins get destroyed, we need maturity in this space and that can only be achieved by making mistakes and learning from them
12  Economy / Economics / Re: Will BTC defeated in 2019? on: March 11, 2019, 03:21:45 PM
Bear markets are a natural occurence, once Bitcoin starts gaining momentum again people will start FOMOing back again
13  Economy / Economics / Re: Can bitcoin be worthless? on: March 11, 2019, 03:20:42 PM
Bitcoin could only become useless if

A massive solar flare destroys most electronic devices and power grids

A global nuclear war destroys most human civilization

A new cryptocurrency solves the Trillema in a incredible way and is quantum resistant and also so easy to use it gets massive adoption

16  Other / Off-topic / Re: What comes to your mind when you think of Japan? on: July 22, 2018, 04:40:03 PM
When I think of Japan I see a society that is extremely communal in nature, extremely organized and efficient
But It also has a dark side, so much structure is given unto things that people some time can't cope with the stress and pressure of society to be up to their expectations

Their work ethic is on steroids, they really need to dial it down

I was fouling around in some martial arts forum, when Bitcoin came up in a off-topic subforum
I got into the thread but I was convinced by the old guys there to just get a real job
That was in 2011

I really think we are going to see 10K around August
20  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: What's the best place to set up a Bitcoin poker/gambling operator? on: July 22, 2018, 04:35:59 PM
The real best place would be to have your own oil rig like the nation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Sealand

Second best thing? Tough one, really depends but probably Vanuatu would be a great choice
they are already selling citizenships for BTC
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-12/bitcoin-can-buy-you-citizenship-in-one-of-the-happiest-countries

You can bet their govt will continue to become more crypto friendly with time (income makes govts more friendly)
