I might be wrong but this seems like a desperate (plagiarized) attempt at gaining a number on the post counter and trying to get some merits
The Mango de hilacha, this has a longer shape has many strands or threads that is why many people suck it instead of biting them, it is a little commercial handle, something scarce, it has a very strong flavor and is different to all
2  Economy / Speculation / What do you Think the True Value of Bitcoin Is? on: June 14, 2018, 03:34:52 AM
In December the price of Bitcoin was near $20,000. Today, the price hovers around $6,500.

Which is the real value? Do you think the market is telling us the Truth?

We must understand that the launch of the CME's Bitcoin futures contracts and subsequent rise and fall of Bitcoin was not a coincidence.

The implementation of futures contracts on gold and silver have had similar effects. One needs to only wonder why was the launch of gold futures contracts was implemented at the same time the Gold Reserve Act was completely repealed. Americans were allowed to own gold again on January 1, 1975. Comex gold futures launched in December of 1974.

*Also, a Wikileaks document shows direct intent to suppress the price of gold:

https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/1974LONDON16154_b.html

I would beg any who are interested or invested in cryptocurrency to please do more research on the topic of price manipulation - you should come to the realization that the price in fiat of these assets does not matter, simply because it is inaccurate.

If you understand the banking system in the U.S. and understand that Gold, Silver and Bitcoin have true, intrinsic and persisting value you will understand the motive and that without question these assets are manipulated.

What is the true price of Bitcoin? $20,000? $6,500? I do not know.

What I do know is that it is worth more than the intrinsically worthless U.S. dollar we force ourselves to use on a daily basis, so I will be buying as much as I can while the price is this low.

I believe the price of a Bitcoin is much higher than $20,000 - but we may be in for a long while of manipulation before we see it again.

The best we can do is to buy as much as we can to make it as difficult as possible for the price to be suppressed. Once they lose control.....to quote all the Redditors and memes - "Then Moon."

5  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin Go Below 6000 USD? Prop Bet on: June 13, 2018, 03:28:57 AM
My opinion is that it’s very much 50/50 for Bitcoin at the moment, it’s possible it could be completely obsolete and useless in less than a few years as more and more contenders for the top spot develop and build better running block chains.
Or, It could very well go to the moon which is why now would be a very good time to buy in if you haven’t already.

All in all, just another day in the world of crypto-currency.

This is an essential step, as some make the mistake of relying on an online wallet to secure their funds. For small quantities, this can be done in some cases, but it’s recommended to have a wallet where you are the one in full control of the private keys.

There are 3 types of wallets excluding online wallets that you might want to use:

Software wallets: These are wallet applications you download and install into your Personal Computer or mobile devices.

Bitcoin Core and Electrum are pretty solid options as Desktop Wallets. Core is a full node client, meaning that it helps with verifying and transmitting Bitcoin transactions and blocks across the network and, unless pruned, stores a copy of the entire Blockchain. This process can be very slow at first but offers better security & privacy since Core doesn’t have to rely on data from external servers or other peers on the network. Electrum, on the other hand, is a lightweight wallet that is easier to use and has other features like multi-signature wallets, integration with hardware wallets, and more.

Mycelium and CoPay are also great options for Android and iOS respectively. Mycelium is an HD (hierarchical deterministic) wallet with many advanced features, like support for hardware wallets from TREZOR and Ledger, watch-only accounts, cold storage spending, and more. CoPay is simple to use and multi-platform, making it easy for you to use the same wallet or accounts across multiple devices and platforms.

Hardware wallets: These are physical devices designed specifically to store Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

https://www.ledgerwallet.com offers everything you need in a hardware wallet: the ability to send, receive, check and manage multiple addresses for a variety of cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum and more) from the same device, and offers plenty of security measures and backup. All private keys are stored on a smart chip and never get leaked outside of the device, all signing happens internally.


Paper wallets: These are private keys that can be printed out on a piece of paper and can be used as long term storages, once they are claimed they should not be reused.

https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/  is a good option, it allows you to generate paper wallets offline in case you’re worried about malicious software, and it’s recommended to do so.

Important note: ALWAYS back-up your wallets and private keys. Do not use just one address to store all your coins and split up your funds for a lesser risk of losing them.

The next step

Once you have your Bitcoins, there are many things you can do from this point, like trading your Bitcoins for other cryptocurrencies that you might find an interest in, gambling for entertainment, and so much more. This is completely up to you and has its risks; just holding Bitcoin has a huge benefit of its own.

Bittrex and Binance are a few good exchanges with a wide variety of cryptocurrencies to choose from. Research is key when trading with cryptocurrencies, just like Bitcoin, each cryptocurrency has its own risks. Trade carefully and diligently.

9  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How strong is Bitcoin against 51% attack ! on: June 12, 2018, 07:48:52 AM
All in all, 51% attacks are of little threat to well-established cryptocurrencies and will likely continue to fade into obscurity as decentralization increases. However, these attacks still pose a significant threat to new coins, particularly if the attack is being maintained for a significant period of time, at which point the changes may become irreversible. Moving forwards, rig operators should refrain from joining the largest pools, despite the obvious benefits, whilst remaining vigilant.

What cryptocurrency wallet to use

There are a few options to store Your cryptocurrency when you make a decision what cryptocurrency wallet to use. You may know, storing Your crypto on the crypto exchanges are not the perfect idea. They may be hacked and stolen and in fact, when your cryptos are on the exchange, you re not their owner, so there is a big danger that something happens to them. My post includes a few ways You can store the crypto, and I show pros and cons of every one of them. I have divided them into a few categories, depending on what form of wallet You want to use and where You want to store Your cryptocurrency.
Types of crypto wallets

1. Desktop wallets

Desktop wallets are regarded, as the safest among software wallets. You can find a version and download it on a Windows, MacOS, Linux. They can store the private key on your hard drive, and what is safer than storing on Your Smartphone, it's not that easy to steal from your hard drive apparently. Cons are it's easy to hack this kind of wallet from viruses or trojans installed on your computer. When You install your wallet usually you get the mnemonic phrase which helps you not to lose access to the wallet. There is a Jaxx (which make possible to convert one coin into another inside interface thanks to Shapeshift), Exodus wallet which I tested and I recommend. There is also an option to download the whole blockchain to your wallet but it isn't very practical and is annoying, You have to wait sometimes nearly 14 hours to load transactions. The important issue in any wallet is safety to lock your passphrase( which should be written on paper by hand only) inside safe environment.

2. Cloud wallets

Cloud wallets are easy to use. You have to only log in through the browser, and You gain access to your wallet very quickly. However online wallets store your private keys online, what can be problematic at some point because you don't own them.

3. Mobile wallets

You download on your mobile, and it can be the app store, google play store. Some of them are very secure has two-factor authentication and multi-signature access, the best way for two-factor authentication is google authenticator, not SMS message which can be easily cloned. A lot of them have back up feature so You can set mnemonic phrase to get back the data of your wallet. Most of the mobile wallets are much simpler than desktop wallets, what's advantage in some way and of course you can move around with those wallets(html comment removed: OffAfMore) in your phone. Good idea is to keep updating your wallet app to not be vulnerable to attacks.

4. Hardware wallets

Hardware wallets are hardware devices and help you store your cryptocurrency safely. If you don't want to risk losing your cryptocurrency, you should have hardware wallet. It's the most secure and firm way to store your cryptos. The rest of the wallets are near all the time connected to the internet what's make your wallets vulnerable to all kind of malware, viruses and so on. Hardware wallets are connected only in time of signing the transactions what's making them more secure. There's also kind of trust to the manufacture of the wallet. Company theoretically could give weak seed to generate addresses, but it's very unlikely to happen. Trezor and Ledger nano are examples of good hardware wallets. Highly recommend this type of keeping your crypto's.

5. Paper wallet

You can easily print your private keys on a paper. It's not recommended for the most people because it's easy for mistake doing this wallet. It's important to write down your private keys by hand, not using a printer to eliminate possibility stealing by inappropriate persons. What cryptocurrency wallet to use. I recommend diversifying your crypto portfolio on different wallets. There's always a threat of losing your crypto funds when you're not caution of traffic happening in your computer or mobile phone and some malware and viruses; trojans may participate in that traffic as well. The similar to the hardware wallets paper wallet is a good choice in case of large savings and sums of your cryptocurrency. The higher level of making transactions in that way can be a little scary for beginners. Simpler solution may be using wallet generator from this site: https://walletgenerator.net/

What cryptocurrency wallet to use, a few actual recommendations:

BRD wallet: Pros of this wallet is a simple interface which can be really helpful for beginners and a good start. It's an open source interface and it's free. It's for bitcoin and a few other ERC20 tokens like Ethereum. Cons are It hasn't been prepared for web or desktop. Next not as good feature can be that is a hot wallet and may be hacked more easily. brd.com

Mycelium: Pros: In oppose to BRD, Mycelium has good privacy and it's also a free and open source. Advanced security it's also the case. Cons: Comparing to BRD, not that easy to use. Lack of web and desktop versions. Hot wallet just as in case of BRD. wallet.mycelium.com/

Jaxx: Pros of this wallet is multiplatform. You can find mobile, desktop version. Security is also improved and you can hold many currencies on it. Cons: Code is not open- source and sometimes crashing and loading slowly. https://jaxx.io/

Coinbase: Pros Easy to use because actually, it's exchange with the option of the wallet so we have to remember that we're not storing cryptos for a long time. Coinbase option seems to be pretty reasonable cause it has two-factor authentication. Free to store but with high fees so it's not for daily traders. https://www.coinbase.com/

Exodus: What cryptocurrency wallet to use ? Exodus seems to be the very good option among desktop wallets. Pros Very well suited for desktop, beautiful designed multi-currency wallet. There is a possibility to set a password but no possibility to 2-factor authentication. Exodus supports 12 tokens right now plus many more ERC20 token of Ethereum. Shapeshift exchange core also help with fast transactions and lower fees. exodus.io

What cryptocurrency wallet to use among hardware wallets:
Trezor is known for really good security and seems to be ideal for storing a large number of coins. Good security and privacy wallet and it is really easy to use ideal for beginners. Cold storage and open source are also advantages of this wallet. Cons of this wallet may be the price, it's 99$ pretty high.

Ledger Nano also supports multiple currencies and is cheaper than Trezor it costs only 65$. U2F support and 3rd-Party apps support are also included. But it's really easy to use and it seems to be very persuasive to me. The easiest of it can be service of that wallet is the huge feature which can be considered to buy for absolute beginners. Cons: No ability to create hidden accounts and No password manager.

12  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Are these billionaires controlling the BTC value? on: June 12, 2018, 03:52:23 AM
Earlier this year, Mark Cuban tweeted Bitcoin is in a Bubble. Warren Buffet said in a statement " Bitcoin is a Mirage. And this week, Jamie Dimon CEO of JP Morgan said Bitcoin is a Fraud. These people are respected billionaire investors. Mapapansin din natin na bumababa ang Bitcoin when these people release statement negatively sa Bitcoin. Are these FUD? What do you think kabayan?
Bitcoin “is a fraud” and will blow up, Jamie Dimon, chief executive of JPMorgan Chase & Co, said on Tuesday.

Speaking at a bank investor conference in New York, Dimon said, “The currency isn’t going to work. You can’t have a business where people can invent a currency out of thin air and think that people who are buying it are really smart.”

Dimon said that if any JPMorgan traders were trading the crypto-currency, “I would fire them in a second, for two reasons: It is against our rules and they are stupid, and both are dangerous.”

Dimon’s comments come as the bitcoin, a virtual currency not backed by any government, has more than quadrupled in value since December to more than $4,100.

Bitcoin is a digital currency that enables individuals to transfer value to each other and pay for goods and services bypassing banks and the mainstream financial system.

While banks have largely steered clear of bitcoin since it emerged following the financial crisis, the virtual currency has a range of people who support it, including technololgy enthusiasts, liberterians skeptical of government monetary policy and speculators attracted by its price swings.

“Like it or not, people want exposure to bitcoin,” Edward Tilly, chairman and CEO of exchange group CBOE Holdings Inc., said at the same conference.

CBOE has applied with U.S. regulators to launch a bitcoin futures contract and a bitcoin exchange traded fund on its venues.

Any good trade is started with a difference of opinion, Tilly added. “So Jamie can be on the short side and the issuers and those trading in physical can be on the long side, and it sounds like we have a great trade.”

Dimon may also be on the other side of another bitcoin trade closer to home.

At another conference about two hours later, Dimon said that one of his daughters had bought some bitcoin.

“It went up and she thinks she’s a genius now,” Dimon said at the CNBC Institutional Investor Delivering Alpha Conference.

“WORSE THAN TULIP BULBS”

Ang mga bangko at iba pang mga institusyong pinansyal ay nag-aalala sa maagang pag-uugnay ng bitcoin sa online crime at money laundering.
13  Other / Off-topic / Trump <> Kim Meeting and the Media Wars on: June 12, 2018, 03:21:36 AM
Over the past year or so the mainstream was in estacy as they delightfully reported the possibility of a nunclear war with North Korea, all caused by Trump. Then came the usual 'we told you so gloat' about how this Orange haired septugenarian was going to bring an end to the World as we knew it. At a point I couldn't help but imagine that some people secretly wished for the worst, as long as it brings down Trump.

It is no surprise then that there was a brief moment of confusion on how to respond without making him look good when talks were suddenly on the table with North Korea and a real, big chance for peace opened. Most mainstream outlets then took great pains letting us know why Trump should not be credited for the Korean peace efforts, downplaying the role of the US and enhancing that of her rivals.

Eventually they backpeddled again when the US took centre stage in the talks, with the possibility of a breakdown at one point on the cards. This uneasy relationship with the media has been the bane of the Trump Administration. With various attempts to paint the whole administration as one big mess, this meeting represents a real chance to seize the narrative.

If all goes well and the US is successful able to welcome Korea into the rest of the World, it would be one victory too big for the mainstream to discredit. Any attempt to ride this potential speck of history with the dust will expose them for bias even within their rows. A victory in the peace process is also significant not just as an information war, but also to show that a radical is very capable of breaking the establishment stronghold. . .
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Why of Bitcoin has dropped below USD 6800 today on: June 11, 2018, 10:49:10 AM
Here is the explanation, After a period of relative stability between USD 8000 and USD 9000. The value of butcoin fell to below USD 6800 today.

The stable price of this virtual money has shifted since mid-December when it hit a record high of more than 19,850 dollars. The value of bitcoin dropped shortly before Christmas by almost being at 2 thousand dollars in just one hour at a point. Also, almost slipped under 11 thousand US dollars.

Then its value goes back up, before falling again in mid-January and early February. In March the decline in bitcoin prices was below 10 thousand US dollars and reached a low of 6,500 US dollars, before soaring above 7 thousand US dollars.

Experts say the cause of bitcoin degenerates is the unclear prospect of regulation and a series of profile thefts have contributed to the decline in bitcoin values ​​in the cryptocurrency exchange. Google which released the announcement will prohibit cryptocurrency ads on its pages since June is also a major blow to the sector.

Meanwhile, last year's rise, bitcoin caused an increase in interest rates in other digital currencies such as ethereum, litecoin, and more. Now more and more people are looking for ways to invest in digital currency.

However there is a serious fear of bitcoin can explode at any time. Many financial experts have advised potential investors to avoid bitcoin and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission has notified the public to be careful of fraud.
