1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it true that bitcoin prices have ever been manipulated on: July 09, 2018, 02:31:12 PM
Unlike stock or commodity transactions, the value of Bitcoin is unpredictable. Values ​​can go up and down in one trading day only

However, there is an indication of the value manipulation of Bitcoin. This manipulation occurred in the year 2013 ago.

At that time, the price of Bitcoin could rise from US $ 150 / coin to US $ 1,000 / coin. This increase only occurs in a vulnerable time of only two months.

There are four researchers who found manipulation. According to them a surge in the value of Bitcoin is done by one person.

In his paper entitled "Price Manipulation in a Bitcoin Ecosystem" published in the journal Monetary Economics, Neil Gandal, JT Hamrick, Tyler Moore and Tali Oberman describe suspicious activity at the digital currency exchange center (cryptocurrency), Mt. Gox, which affects the value of Bitcoin Cs in 2013.

As quoted by TechCrunch and quoted CNBC, the researchers found price manipulation done two bots and listed as "??" in the user's country. They named this bot "Mark" and "Willy".

Markus buys and sells bitcoins at random prices and does not pay transaction fees. Upon further inspection, Mark actually did not pay to receive Bitcoin. Mark generates 335,889 bitcoins and is active from 14 February 2013 to 27 September 2013.

Seven hours after Mark becomes inactive, Willy appears with 49 accounts. Each of these Willy accounts sequentially purchases bitcoins worth US $ 2.5 million and then becomes inactive. During this period, bitcoin prices soared.

I'm also thinking of the speculation and may be the cause of price fluctuation is due to manipulation of some people who want to buy crypto in very low price so they can earn more profit once  the market recovers.

Hodling is still the most secure option to get profit. Nothing was changed. but don't forget to fix profit sometimes, if the price makes x2-x3 - more safe strategy is to sell the half of holdings and other half to keep for ages until it makes x10-x20 Wink But don't buy and don't hold shit coins, they don't make you millionaire

Yes of course In fact many people are doing this , they are holding their cryptocurrency investment hoping for the market to recover in coming days so they can recover losses from huge fluctuation
3  Other / Archival / Re: Unpaid Bounty Effort on: July 08, 2018, 09:33:38 AM
I have been doing bounties for some time and I have encountered some bounty effort that are not paid for.  

1. Hashcard - scam exit
2. Blackfolio - did not reach softcap
3. BCharity - did not reach softcap
4. Safein - project is cancelled
5. Impressio - scam exit
6. Root blockchain - didn't get enough private investors

I learned a lesson here.  I have to be more selective in the future in choosing bounties, as much as choosing an ICO to invest.  

Do you have any similar experience?  Please share so that others may learn.


unpaid bounty effort is very common nowadays this is because caused of some scamming incident that happened in different ICOs project.
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are investors got tired of ICOs? on: July 06, 2018, 02:00:12 PM
maybe some of them getting tired and don't want to invest in ICO because situations in the market are not stable and make them cannot make a profit. but the other investor still trying to invest in ICO because they believe that the situations will not stay for a long time and after bitcoin makes a new stable price, then it is time for the ICO to rise again. and we can see that many ICO delay their time to finishing the ICO because they still want to attract more investor to come to their project and invest their money.

Yes I agree and aside from that there are so many people that launching their fake ICOs that trying to scammed many investor this is also another reason why people are getting tired and afraid to invest because they don't want to risk their money.
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Are you long term or short term? on: July 06, 2018, 01:18:00 PM
The market is currently experiencing a huge fluctuation and I think short term is not a good option today in investing cryptocurrency and i believe long term is potentially safe and  good while waiting for the cryptocurrency market to rise to become profitable.
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should the price falls affect the bounty price? on: July 04, 2018, 03:46:44 PM
A few times ago, the reward we achieve from 1-2 bounty projects still allow us to walk like a cassanova hero.
But nowadays, with prices keep unstable, should project owners reconsider the token rewards they offer?

Opinions?
Yes, I think they also consider the market or prices. Yes, it is unstable now and bounties need to get profit before they will give the tokens or your payment. Payments for bounties is also base on how much they get profited.

Yes Agree they are giving our tokens very late to keep the market stable and if they give the rewards during the opening in the exchange surely it causes speed dropping of market value because im sure bounty hunters are very busy in trading there coins.
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: should now sell coin or not on: July 03, 2018, 02:06:20 PM
No, do not sell coins now.  If you want to make a profit, then it's better to wait until the market recovers.

Yes I Agree, but we should consider also that not all cryptocurrency are dropping and we can still do normal transactions in crypto market but for coins that are losing its value too much i think we need to hold and wait for the good market pump.
8  Economy / Speculation / Re: Those who sold bitcoin are in for a big loss on: July 02, 2018, 03:01:40 PM
Montana to be a Bitcoin Mining Hub

Check it out!


 “This is obviously going to be revolutionary.”

This would be the second large mining operation to find Montana in as many years. Back in 2016, Project Spokane, LLC launched its site near Missoula. It’s already one of the largest energy consumers in the region, housing a 20 megawatt facility, employing at least 25 locals.

For now those who sell bitcoin is really in a big loss considering that the market value is still cheap and they can not earn the amount they expected to earn because until now crypto market is still not playing well.
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why not buy Ethereum on: July 01, 2018, 08:11:58 AM
Now I will name just three reasons why you should not buy Ethereum. Of course, you can call an almost infinite number of reasons why you should not buy airwaves, but we are not chasing after quantity, but quality. I believe that these three reasons are enough to not even think about investing in the air.

1. The ether has infinite emission.
Even if there were no other reasons, I would still not have bought Ethereum because of the endless issue. Gold will cease to be gold, if it is endlessly "printed." Did you know about this?

2. Ethereum regularly hosts hurricanes to return, for example, stolen funds and this greatly undermines the decentralization of the coin. In this way,
large investors may be wary of investing in the air because of fear of losing money.

3. The hurdles are conducted only for very large investors, for example, because of the DAO fund. If you steal even one million dollars, you probably will not get anything back. There is discrimination.

What do you think?

Many people are also thinking that buying is good while the market price is still very cheap but we should consider that what if Ethereum will not survive and suddenly drops until it becomes zero in value so as investors we should carefully check the crypto we are choosing to avoid any losses.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: why do people agree to pay taxes? on: July 01, 2018, 06:37:08 AM
why is it ok for a group of people calling themselves the government to force everyone to buy their services?
if enough armed people refused to pay and told the government to go fuck itself there is nothing they could do.

I think everyone who knows the should agree to pay taxes because as a good citizen of our country this is our main responsibility to developed and improved our country's economy to be able to compete to other countries in the world.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No women in Bitcoin you say? on: June 30, 2018, 11:15:25 AM
I believe that there are many women that are also involved in bitcoin investment and even in bounty campaign  this is what i observed  because i have many friends today that are participating in the bounty campaigns.
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do I need to sell all alts? on: June 29, 2018, 04:16:33 PM
Good day,
 Do you think that BTC is going to reach 20k soon?
 If yes do I need to sell all alts and wait for rising BTC?
 What to do now ? I am confused!!!!
I think you don't need to sell your alts and all you need to do is to be patient and wait for the right time for cryptocurrency market to recover because theres really a big chance once crypto market will be regulated soon.
13  Economy / Speculation / Re: Better Late than Never? on: June 28, 2018, 04:10:04 PM
I think investing in cryptocurrency does not require to become early because even the market is very dropping new investors still have the chance to become profitable if they only trust and believe in bitcoin.
14  Economy / Speculation / Re: Time to buy more and HODL!!! on: June 28, 2018, 02:55:40 PM
Every good investor knows that the time to jump into a market counts a lot. Undoubtedly the time to buy is when the price has fallen, hodl and wait for the right green season
Yes every investor must know and many people says that when price is dropping its the best time to buy but with the current situation im not interested to buy because dropping of market value is not normal as it drops too much cheaper today.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has no competition on: June 26, 2018, 01:20:13 PM
Bitcoin as the parent of other virtual currencies can not be equated with other virtual currencies. Bitcoin will survive and show its progress in the future.
Yes, theres no digital currency that are available in the market today that can beat bitcoin because bitcoin is still very profitable and leading digital currency world wide and this is only the most trusted crypto of so many investors.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Market will recover? on: June 25, 2018, 02:01:35 PM
it's a mystery that no one knows except the bitcoin and market makers. so we only predict when we get a profit or loss so we hope we get big profits and invest in low prices.

Yes and this is very surprising to all people invested in cryptocurrency market and even until now we can't believe that this is now happening were just thinking that bitcoin will rise not anticipating the negative results.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Signature campaign for Jr. Member? on: June 24, 2018, 12:26:22 PM
Hi everyone! I just ranked up to Jr. Member and i read some threads that you'll need atleast to get to jr member to join a signature campaign, can you give some best suggest on where to join one? I really want to learn more about this, not just for me but also for the others out there.

Thankyou!
It's hard for a new bounty hunter to find a good bounty campaign although there are so many campaign posted but some of them are not giving the rewards they promised and some ICOs are gone after the campaign end and not paying to bounty participants.
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Time to buy? on: June 24, 2018, 04:57:50 AM
Hello what do you think about situation on market? Will price of crypto go up to reach new records or it is going down again?

The current cryptocurrency market status is still very risky because most crypto are not playing well that makes many people losing their investment including their capital.

20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Good time to buy ETH now? on: June 22, 2018, 04:39:08 PM
Hi guys,

do you think it's a good time to buy ETH now? Price seems to be kinda low, but I'm not sure what to expect from ETH during the upcoming weekend & the aug1-happening after..
Do you think it's better to wait a few days...? 



Not yet, although the price is very cheap but i don't suggest to buy because the market is still fluctuating and still no signs of recovering so for the maintime you must try to invest to other crypto that which we think more profitable.
