1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Low prices, are you excited about the situation? on: April 11, 2018, 11:22:20 AM
I'm a little scared because this fall is big and when the bottom is unknown.
On the other hand, now very good prices for entering the market.
It remains only to wait to see what happens next.
Yeah, crypto is always a bit scary but it's not the first big fall so I'm sure about the recovery. Was not following the market closely as has been travelling for a couple of months but now will use this opportunity to add to my portfolio at lower price and then hodl and see how it goes  Roll Eyes

I think most people in crypto check it daily, like the news. So easy nowadays when we are all "glued" to our smartphones. I have it all on my phone: news apps with major currency exchange rates and stock indices and a saved page for the crypto https://cryptopanic.com  Smiley

These discount times we are in now should benefit those who missed out
throughout 2017 although the price could fall a bit more.

its certainly a good time for topping up various holdings, of course for
those who believe the situation is temporary, like me  Grin
I also believe it's only temporary though will wait a couple more weeks before adding a fair bit to my wallet. But will go Alts this time. In any case most crypto follow one another.
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: JPMorgan and BofA ban cryptocurrency transactions for their credit cards on: February 13, 2018, 02:19:57 PM
I thought all the banks were going to use ripple Cheesy  Seriously though, this is not a big deal, there are many credit card companies out there who will take payments. It is going to be their loss as customers decide to switch banks. When they realise how much they have lost, it will probably be reversed as their competitors milk the rewards.
JPMorgan is a huge bank but also not a very honest one in my opinion. It is clinging to its financial power but hopefully in the future it will lose it all!

Women are much smarter than men, so: why to make the effort to learn how to make profit with bitcoin, when they can smile to a man :-)

OK, just kidding. Women usually don't like trading because is too much like a videogame, and usually you stay alone in front of the monitor.
But I know some women that are fantastic forex trader, because they mix competence with female intuition, and have very good results.

That might be the reason why there isn't that many women in Bitcoin. Women like to spend money more than making it.


A remark: Women like to make men make money for them. And the funny fact is, it works!

It's an old story which started millions of years ago, and the proof is that men have on average more muscles than women or anyway their muscles produce more force, which proves that women don't really need a lot of muscles if they cans use the ones of the men for the crucial things like finding food, making money or moving a furniture.
Note: Muscles were very useful in the past to provide food, I have to mention that for those who spend too much time in front of their computers and would never suspect something like that.

haha, so true! unfortunately I don't think many of the residents of this forum are fit and muscled guys. Unfortunately too many people now think of their body only as a means of transportation for their head and other pleasure-delivering parts ))) Let's see, do you think there are are less or more fit hot guys in the crypto community than women? Who is a bigger minority? lol =)

You may have quite a point here, but I can assure you that you would be surprised of a few notable exceptions, and even exceptions filled like a matrioska with more exceptions. By the way, you forgot to mention which in your imagination is the average age of this unfit men who forgot to grow muscles Wink

@LeonardoDiCrypto, as your name hints, do you consider yourself as one of these "few notable exceptions"? I'm sure there are "outliers"  but they can be neglected to have a better predictive model =) Let's see what can I reply to your question. I think the average age of these men is hm, 25? What's your bet?
6  Economy / Speculation / Re: Please stop selling! on: February 13, 2018, 02:08:58 PM
Even if most of the crowd stops selling such mining giants as Ant or Bitfury can alter the price with just a bit of what they hold. It's not about "stop selling" it's about media hype and the crowd to start buying in panic as it was in December.

I want a long term investment what s the best choice for now?
And thank you for ur help
For a safe long term try classic capital markets - google or apple shares =)
8  Economy / Speculation / Re: How low will this bear trend go? on: February 08, 2018, 03:25:44 PM
At what price do yal think will be bottom before we turn back up? I'm thinking $4,900 not to spread any FUD, however, they say when it rains it poors, and we have still yet seen people's response to this upcoming Tuesday on the 6th when all American policymakers meet, SEC and everyone else and we see what kind of regulation is made. The price will go down until the millionaires and wall street tycoons are happy to buy what they're going to buy and then we'll see it soar up to $13-$20k post regulations.

Well, I am really hopeful that this trend would end up soon. Many assets in the market have been going really low, and it's frightening already. Even Bitcoin and the stronger altcoins are falling down, and that says a lot of how the market is right now. Due to this recent downfall, many people have been becoming very negative or doubtful at best if the cryptocurrency market would last long. This would give a hit on the reputation of the market and would certainly stop people from totally embracing it.
I don't think that this correction is bad for the market's reputation. On the contrary, such a correction was needed to show that the market was overheated and is now cooling down back to normal. So the fever is over and the patient is back to normal life. I'm sorry for those who panicked and bought BTC at high prices. But don't worry, just hodl. I believe BTC will recover back to this price but if the market doesn't go crazy again it will take a while, but one day you'll be in profit again. Be patient - by this I mean months/years.
9  Local / Mercado y Economía / Re: Visa y Mastercard quieren cobran una tarifa adicional por comprar criptomonedas on: February 08, 2018, 12:19:52 PM
Pues no, barato no es, 1.000€ serían 30€ de comisión, es demasiado, pero claro, si llegado el momento se hace necesario en alguna ocasión, pues de eso se aprovecharán, eso sumado a los gastos de intercambio en sí, y a las comisiones ya conocidas, a no ser, que de alguna forma se pudiera y permitieran vincular una tarjeta a un monedero concreto y poder sacar en el cajero y hacer compras haciendo este el cambio de criptomoneda al instante, eso sería otro cantar, sería cómodo y ya no lo vería tan caro.
Es solo 3%. Me parece un precio justo dando la rapidez. Hay que pagar por el tiempo y la conveniencia. Si uno quiere hacer economías, siempre puede usar otro modo de cambio.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think billionaires invest in BTC? on: February 08, 2018, 12:10:40 PM
Some of them invest in infrastructure and building the whole ecosystem, they dont just buy x amount for x dollars hoping it will go up x2. For example, look at Barry Silbert and DC Group.
Indeed the best thing is to invest in blockchain as a technology and help build and pioneer in this new field. Opens such a vast opportunity for new business ideas. I'd think smart wealthy people in the IT industry do both. At least let's hope they do as this adoption could benefit the whole system greatly.
11  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think billionaires invest in BTC? on: February 08, 2018, 12:07:43 PM
I would assume if these billionaires made their billions on trading or venture investing then yes they do invest in bitcoin but without getting too much exposure. That is bitcoin doesn't form the core of their portfolio but rather is a new toy to play with. If a billionaire is in some old school brick and mortar business then I would assume his/her free cash is managed by one of those classic funds that don't use crypto yet.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is Python good for bitcoin apps? on: February 08, 2018, 11:55:58 AM
Python is used a lot of programming apps as it's easier to program and is a bit more forgiving syntax wise than other programming languages are.

There are some useful code snippets on github depending on what specifically you're trying to program for? If you want to look into basic stuff, there's a Python module called Bitcoin-tools that might be helpful if you don't want to code from scratch.
Thank you for a cool tip! Will definitely check github out. I'm not that good at Python but it's interesting to see what people came up with. Thanks again!  Cheesy

Blockfolio on my phone and cointracker on comp. Both are not perfect by I'm ok with that

16  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to trade without losses on: February 07, 2018, 02:30:49 PM
There's absolutely no way to trade without any losses. Yes there are techniques to minimize risks but if you can't always win. If you are not ready to assume temporary losses then better don't trade.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin or Etherium? on: February 07, 2018, 02:24:08 PM
Get both, you need a well balanced portfolio to diversify away the unsystematic (specific) risk of a coin. In my opinion CAPM applies to crypto as well as to fiat.  Undecided
18  Economy / Economics / Re: Positive thinking brings positive things. on: February 07, 2018, 02:06:48 PM
Forums are being filled with speculation, almost all topics that appear lead to falling bitcoin prices, whether this will continue, this is the right time to buy, blah blah blah. Come on, the storm must pass, let us focus on the positive topics instead of continuing to discuss this 50% decline. Start talking about the positive news from Singapore deputy, bitcoin that has gone up 20% today and others. Think positive and positive things will come.

In a news driven market like this, negative speculation is just another issue that Bitcoin is supposed to tank, to continue rising as it has been from the past 24 hours. All the negative talks end up fueling panic sellers to do their thing while prices continue to plummet and on the other end, one good news can create enough demand to soar prices.
I totally agree with your words that a positive approach to things would be the ideal scenario for the entire market which has seen a free fall in prices from the past month.

I think this whole negative news waterfall was totally planned and benefited great deal those who had shorted bitcoin and plus to this benefit got it now for a minimal price. So if you are shorting bitcoin negative news are better than positive for you.
19  Economy / Economics / Re: Do we need regulations? on: February 07, 2018, 02:03:22 PM
I think regulation is inevitable but not welcomed in the crypto world. It will make it too similar to the currently existing fiat capital markets. Boring =(
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why aren't there more women in Bitcoin? on: February 04, 2018, 04:58:19 PM
Can you believe that DGX token allegedly backed with physical gold went +30% up according to Coinmarketcap while the rest is in the red zone. That's amazing how such an advanced community as crypto is still stuck to the good old gold standard paradigm. Kinda like Exchange-traded funds e.g. GLD on the classic capital market. Very surprising to see it in crypto or not? What do you think?  Huh Huh Huh

On February 2d I started this thread (bit outdated now but DGX token still doing well). It's quite a serious question and I reckon an interesting market behaviour. Comments by male dominated bitcointalk community = 0. On the same date I posted to this thread that, taking the majority of the comments, basically discusses how women are not smart and household oriented. Got several comments. Wow, boys are smart lol  Cheesy Cheesy  Kiss
