1  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin can go to new highs or it has already peaked? on: April 19, 2018, 11:58:27 AM
In the end, it's obvious that bitcoin is in a perpertual transition state of bubble and bear. When it goes up, it always rises insanely because of hype and market manipulation. Then when it goes down, it always crashes so hard because of panic.

It's always a dramatic change in price, and nothing slow or gradual.

Wow, I was going to join an altcoin campaign but after reading this I'm having second thoughts because I'm not sure if I'll get paid after months of posting
3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What’s your thoughts on LTC? on: April 11, 2018, 03:13:12 PM
Ltc has been called out for being a large ponzi.

I don't agree because it has a full foundation that funds its development.

Ltc was the first coin to join the LN and do atomic swaps. It will always be ahead in adopting and integrating technology.

That's why it will be the first coin truly used in shopping transactions compared to other alts.

Once bitcoin is actually accepted by more retailers, then it will be used more like a currency instead of just an asset

I don't understand why I had to read your op more than 4 times just to sort of understand that you're asking whether bitcoin should be the leader of all crypto
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: History will repeat itself but not with bitcoin but it would be on ether. on: April 11, 2018, 02:11:05 PM
...history actually continues to repeat when it comes to bitcoin. Price pumps, people say it's a bubble, scams happen and regulations and bans happen, bitcoin crashes and people say it's dead, then price pumps again and people say it's in a bubble yet again
7  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you think about new Bittrex platform? on: April 11, 2018, 02:06:42 PM
Well, I do like their 1-minute charts now. They used to be not updated every minute but now they are actually real time.

You should be more worried about being banned for spamming given your recent posts.

Activity updates every 2 weeks.
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bountyhunters, be careful with twitter accounts on: April 09, 2018, 11:29:28 AM
I think that it's because twitter banned crypto, ico, and maybe even wallets.

So it's reasonable they're banning people with crypto-related hashtags
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Are we repeating the 2014 BTC crash??? on: April 08, 2018, 05:00:58 PM
Eth is starting to come back, it was 400 today.

I think bitcoin won't crash to 2014 levels anymore.

We have only 1 or 34 days left of FUD, because the ad sense stuff ends at june. After that we're bullish

Now I used the search function to see if people wrote about this news, and didn't find anything in march.

You didn't search very well as there have been numerous topics on this created (and trashed):

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3169408.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3168058.0

Not to mention that these are not even relevant news, in fact : https://www.dailydot.com/business/bitcoin-child-porn-transaction-code/ that was from 2013. Those idiots in your article think they are the first ones to find something like that, surprise, they aren't.

OK Sorry hillarious. When I searched, it gave me the first results from January
12  Other / Meta / My thread was deleted but I got no notification on: March 21, 2018, 07:50:37 AM
I made a thread about https://gizmodo.com/child-pornography-that-researchers-found-in-the-blockch-1823927566/amp

It was called "experts find child pornography in bitcoin blockchain" in bitcoin discussion.

I didn't get a message about it being deleted... it was just like I had never posted anything at all.

Now I used the search function to see if people wrote about this news, and didn't find anything in march.

I don't know why it was deleted, but if it was because of redundancy, then I think that's pretty biased. You have weekly threads "bitcoin is the future " that spring up every 3 days.

I hope it wasn't deleted simply because it was FUD.

I was bringing attention to a clear concern about how people can upload pirated material to the btc blockchain and no government or court order could take it down.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Permission-based advertising platforms?? on: March 17, 2018, 11:54:18 PM
I think this is a good idea rather than what we have now where people are bombarded with ads.

The thing is, brave browser is also doing decentralized ad control to limit invasive ads.
14  Economy / Economics / Re: Bull trap right now? on: March 17, 2018, 11:51:10 PM
Technical analysis for crypto currencies is a thankless task. Too much of the bitcoin rate is influenced by news, rumors and information about future forks. At present, the greatest impact, in my opinion, is the implementation of Bitcoin Lightning Network (LN) technology.

What you said is true. Bitcoin is being affected by the news released by medias. But as of this 2018, I don’t think that’s the issue. What I’m considering as the main problem in 2018 is Facebook ban of ICOs and advertisements of cryptocurrencies and the upcoming ban that will soon be made by Google to prevent ads that has to with cryptocurrencies.

So I think people are afraid of all these things. But I don’t really see that as a problem. But apart from that, I think investors might be taking a break after the run in 2017. Whatever it is, Bitcoin always recovers.

But we shouldn’t be expecting a rise all the time. There are times markets fall, there are times they rise and there are also times they become stable.


I think what is affecting btc price right now is the uncertainty coming from the new regulations about exchanges. The different countries like Singapore are trying to regulate crypto trading after the reversal of trades
15  Economy / Speculation / Re: Copper - the forgotten hedge against inflation on: March 17, 2018, 07:25:28 AM
How many copper would it take to store $10 million dollars? Is it something I could carry easily to another country?

I have a few kg's of pure copper old server heatsinks. Am I rich now?



If you can separate out the copper, then it would be worth a lot. But the labor involved in separating out kgs of copper is probably going to make it not worth it.

Separate from what? It is pure copper heatsinks pulled from old servers: ONLY A BIG SOLID BLOCK OF COPPER. Each of those may weight like 250gr or more... and I have dozens.

But I was basically kidding about the idea of copper as something particularly valuable. Don't think the bunch of heatsinks are worth as copper more than its value as.... well.... premium heatsinks.

I dunno I would take a picture, show it to a junkyard and ask them how much they would buy it for. Rather than just assume it's not worth more than heatsinjs.

Hey since March 4 did you not already find a winner?

18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin is the winning coin! on: March 16, 2018, 09:15:48 PM
I don't know about u guys but I'd rather have a smaller valued coin because it would have lower transaction fees.

As btc price goes up, so c pest its tx fees.
19  Economy / Speculation / Re: Copper - the forgotten hedge against inflation on: March 16, 2018, 04:11:28 AM
I think OP is right. Copper is used in every industry. Plumbers still use copper piping. The governments still use copper coins. Copper is a popular semiconductor used in electronics.

It's all about demand, and copper has a really high demand on a reliable basis. That gives copper a fixed price that helps protect people from inflation

Its not a fixed demand, its related to industrial demand.  Copper is a commodity reliant and related to GDP growth.   It will retract in line with that, same reason Platnium cant really be used as a currency in the way gold does.

Gold silver and copper have been used as money in the past but copper has the lowest attribution to a solid standard of money.   When dollar fails even copper will be greatly favoured but its only really used for loose transaction of small amounts where price varys greatly also.   Food is a commodity also and price can vary alot there too so copper matched to simple deal is ideal perhaps as a common currency but not so much over great periods of time.  
 China in recent years outlawed copper being traded between construction firms in lieu of currency as it proved more reliable then their paper money.  So yes copper is monitised in times of loose money but its not a strict standard imo.   I can always use some copper, I like it personally but its not rare.

Wow, I can't believe copper is being used to trade like that. What other industries do this? That's kind of cool, except for the fact that you'd need to carry around a lot of copper to use it like money...
20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What platform (Waves, Stellar, Ethereum etc) is best to launch my ICO? on: March 15, 2018, 06:24:26 PM
I would choose ethereum because it's more popular and has a good dev team behind it.

Eth is most likely to help troubleshoot any problems you may end up having
