1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 134k unconfirmed transactions now. I'm starting to get really worried about this on: November 13, 2017, 06:24:45 PM
Bitcoin is frequently attacked with spam transactions in order to create a bottle neck in the block chain and push people into panic mode.

No need to panic. Bitcoin is A Ok.

Please provide a source as this news seems quite big and I imagine I would have heard it somewhere by now leading up to a fork for the #3 coin in the market. If this is true though...maybe that is the reason for the pump

Source above also ^

3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin Cash Hard Fork in 2 Days on: November 11, 2017, 05:07:22 PM
Bitcoin Cash will be undergoing a hard fork on November 13 in order to provide a greater hash rate stability. It may be a big step in the relevancy of their future if more miners begin moving over...

Thoughts?
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / ICO Participation? on: November 11, 2017, 01:41:19 AM
How many people actually participate in the ICO stage of new alts? It would appear the obvious answer is a lot, considering the amount of money they raise. But isn't better to wait for the first storm to pass and then jump on after all the hoopla?
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is BTC really anonymous? on: November 11, 2017, 12:13:11 AM
Bitcoin is anonymous to a degree.

You do not have to use your credit or debit cards to purchase Bitcoin, you can complete cash transactions via meet ups or Bitcoin ATM's and at that point there is no tie to your bank accounts. However, Bitcoin is really only pseudonymous. You use an alter ego, or a pseudonym, in order to complete transactions and move BTC. However, every coin carries with it a history as it moves through the blockchain. Sooner or later, if needed, that coins history can be traced back to certain accounts and transactions which are called into question. There are other coins that use a technique called "mixing" which essentially erases each coins history, and those coins are anonymous.

So, in conclusion, yes, Bitcoin is anonymous, but be careful, Bitcoin's level of anonymity is by no means invincibility.

Hi all,

I'm interested in writing about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies with the intention of earning BTC. Can anyone point me to any possible leads to pursue in order to get started?

Thanks!

Which coin did you find early that you wish you would have invested in then but didn't?
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My first three days in day trading. on: November 09, 2017, 05:36:57 AM
So after doing a TON of research I rearranged my schedule and decided to try my hand at day trading.

I decided to start off really small, so I only put in .02 BTC to see where I can go with it.
I've been using only cryptopia.

After three days...I'm up to .0338711 BTC! Wao! I'm a rich man! lol...

I was pleasantly surprised that a simple strategy brought steady gains.
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out indicators of coins that were about to be pumped.  I looked at trade volume, spikes in value, market cap, buy/sell order history, etc.
I am going about this very cautiously, so when I felt like a coin was about to or in the beginning to middle stages of being pumped, I would buy it, and right away put in a sell order that was slightly higher for a small gain.  I tried my best to not put in too much and resell for a lot higher and the result was steady (but tiny gains).  As I get comfortable with this I will probably try larger investments.

I know I'm very amateurish but it feels good to get better at something yeah?

Anyone had similar experiences in day trading?

I'm in a very similar boat!

I have been researching a ton, setting aside a decent amount of time and trying to make slow but steady improvements. The game itself is fun, but can definitely be risky. The biggest lessons I've learned in the short period i've been involved is patience is key and your emotions are your worst indicator.

Happy to hear you've made some profit! Keep it up.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Vertcoin - Love it or hate it? on: November 09, 2017, 05:28:31 AM
I have taken a quite a liking to Vertcoin for a variety of reasons and for trading purposes it has been a solid alt as of late. I love it.

Do you love it or hate it?
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Ethereum - more or less valuable after the nuke? on: November 09, 2017, 12:23:37 AM
Yes, Ethereum shows yet another vulnerability after the freezing of countless wallets and now will almost certainly require a hard fork to overcome this latest speed bump. But for the time being, does this make Ethereum that much more valuable due to the fact that the freeze limits total circulating supply?

Thoughts?
