2  Economy / Trading Discussion / Trading with crypto or fiats? the right one? Your experience? on: March 12, 2019, 06:28:34 PM
I trade with crypto currencies. I have a small experience in it. The amount of profit i get is very less but yes it depends on the amount of investment i make. I have seen my friends trade with fiats at currency market. The amount of profit they receive is more than i do. The main thing is, the investment they make is lesser than i make.

Kindly share your experience?

What are the reasons number of investors get into crypto? Is it the secured system (blockchain) behind, or the value? I do feel my assets are much safer here with crypto secured system then banking. What really brings someone to crypto platform?
4  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-05-02]- BTC Network Hashrate At All Time High Even Among Market Correction on: May 02, 2018, 09:40:12 PM
Bitcoin Network Hashrate At All Time High Even Among Market Corrections

The Bitcoin (BTC) network’s hashrate is continuing to climb today, May 2, according to data from BitInfoCharts. The continuous growth of the hashrate over the past months signals a constantly increasing level of interest from the miners, in spite of Bitcoin’s inability to break the $10,000 price point after the market crash in February.

After BTC’s price reached $20,000 in December of last year, the market began to fall in the wake of the new year, with BTC dipping below $6,000 in February. Although the market has recovered slightly, with Bitcoin currently trading for around $9,144 and up 3 percent over a 24 hour period, the price is still more than 50 percent below its all-time high reached in December.

The rising hashrate - last recorded on May 1 as 31,590 PH/sec - means that new miners are continuously starting to mine for Bitcoin in spite of market fluctuations. This causes a constantly increasing competition between the miners and the resulting improvement of the network’s overall security.

5  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-04-23] - India Divided on Whether to Ban Crypto Use on: April 23, 2018, 08:59:10 PM

As India works on the bill to regulate cryptocurrencies, each government department has its own opinion on whether to ban the use of crypto, including bitcoin. The Finance Ministry, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Income Tax Department, and the Special Investigation Team have voiced their opinions on the upcoming bill.

https://news.bitcoin.com/india-divided-ban-crypto-use/

India is preparing a bill on the regulation of cryptocurrency. “The bill has been drafted and consultation has been started with the concerned agency,” the Navbharat Times reported last week. The news outlet quoted sources explaining that the regulators are divided on whether to ban the use of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin.

“The finance ministry is in favor of regulating [cryptocurrency],” sources said. The Income Tax Department, on the contrary, is not in favor of regulation, the news outlet conveyed, and quoted sources explaining:

The regulation of virtual currency is almost impossible and it promotes the use of black money.

6  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-04-22]Bitcoin Versus Government Money: One is Clearly Superior on: April 22, 2018, 08:16:53 PM
Half of nearly all transactions involve money, a medium of exchange (MOE). For almost everyone, one of those halves has always been derived, considered, instituted by governments. Also known as fiat, government money, notes, they appear to us as inevitable, right as rain, plainly self evident. However, for the first time in a long time, those notions are being challenged by cryptocurrency. At least one of the world’s most popular versions has a real chance to take the advance of cash (peer-to-peer, permissionless, final, censorship resistant MOE) and make it a global reality. Digital cash is closer than ever imagined to mimicking its government paper predecessor, without the bother of inherent violence, carrying distinct advantages previously unavailable in history.

What Have Governments Done to Our Money?

If you’re new to thinking about money, welcome. It’s a vast, broad subject, and one that repays upon consideration and review. Chances are you’ve given the subject more thought these days due to wild cryptocurrency price speculation news. And it is thrilling. To think you’re able to invest in a digital asset at any stage, in full or fractions, and ride its swings can fill our heads with dreams of wealth accumulation. And if that’s the spark causing you to click over here, awesome. You should also begin to learn just why this bitcoin thing, this crypto thing, this brave new world is maybe even more important than typical manias or get-rich-quick schemes.

Proxeus, IBM Register A Business On Blockchain In ‘Record Setting’ Time

Blockchain workflow engine and generator Proxeus and technology company IBM Switzerland have shown how to register a Swiss startup entirely on Blockchain in a “fraction” of the time traditionally required as part of their entry in the digitalSwitzerland challenge, Proxeus told Cointelegraph.

Proxeus, described as the “WordPress for Blockchain,” raised $25 mln in two days during their mid-February Initial Coin Offering (ICO) for their XES token. The company aims to make Blockchain technology accessible to the public, as users without any programming knowledge can use drag-and-drop tools to create their own Blockchain applications.

IBM also recently released a beta version of a “cheaper” Blockchain starter plan for small businesses.

The idea for Blockchain company registration came after Switzerland was ranked 54th and 56th respectively for the time and number of steps to start a business in a World Economic Forum (WEF) ranking of 138 countries, due to an excess in both the number of players involved and the physical paperwork required.

South Korea’s Ministry of Strategy and Finance will reportedly release a taxation framework for cryptocurrencies by the end of June, local news outlet Fuji News Network (FNN) reported March 25.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Strategy and Finance said that although they “do not have a specific time frame,” they are “thinking about announcing a virtual money tax in the first half of the year,” and FNN adds that any taxation would only start next year.

The announcement of the future tax plan came after the Finance Ministers' meeting of the G20 that took place earlier this month from March 19-20.

Edward Snowden On Bitcoin: World Needs Better Option To Avoid Gov’t Coercion

US whistleblower Edward Snowden voiced concerns over Bitcoin’s long-term prospects in an interview on March 22, saying the cryptocurrency’s public Blockchain made it susceptible to abuse.

Speaking via webcam in an interview with Coin Center director of research Peter Van Valkenburgh at the Blockstack Berlin 2018 conference, Snowden agreed Bitcoin’s ledger was “devastatingly public.”

“The much larger structural flaw, the long-lasting flaw, is its public ledger,” he said of Bitcoin, adding that he nonetheless “may” have used it to buy server infrastructure in 2013.

PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel described Bitcoin as “a hedge against the whole world falling apart” in new bullish comments March 15.

Speaking at the Economic Club of New York quoted by CNBC, the Facebook and rumored $20 mln Bitcoin investor said that while he did not foresee Bitcoin fulfilling the role of a currency as yet, its ability to replace gold as a store of value was different.

“I'm not talking about a new payments system,” he said

“It's like bars of gold in a vault that never move, and it's a sort of hedge of sorts against the whole world going falling apart.”

Bitcoin continues to trade around $8000 this week as continued downward pressure from regulators, Google and Mt. Gox sell-offs unsettle markets.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bankers-criticize-crypto-always-goes-back-to-the-same-argument-intrinsic-value

Finance experts in the traditional finance industry often attempt to discredit Blockchain projects and open-source cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. But, without solid logical arguments, a lot of baseless claims from the finance sector have proven to be ineffective.

In December 2017, Bruce Flatt, CEO at asset management company Brookfield, which is based in Canada and oversees around $250 bln in assets, stated:

“It [Bitcoin] has no intrinsic value. I don’t know what it is. But it has no intrinsic value in our definition of intrinsic value. If someone else wants to speculate on it or invest in it, it’s for them. It’s not for us.”

Banks Will never stop it argument?
18  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-03-15] - Australia Warns of Fake 'Tax Collectors' Demanding Bitcoin on: March 14, 2018, 11:52:16 PM
https://www.coindesk.com/australia-warns-fake-tax-collectors-demanding-bitcoin/

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) issued a warning about would-be scammers trying to con people out of their cryptocurrency.

Since late last year, scammers have been calling Australians and impersonating the tax office, claiming that the victims owed funds in unpaid taxes, and asking them to pay in bitcoin. So far, more than 50,000 Australian dollars (about $39,400 in U.S. dollars) have been sent to the scammers, according to a press release from the office.

ATO assistant commissioner Kath Anderson said it was "inevitable that scammers would target cryptocurrency," noting its rise to prominence last year. She continued:

"Cryptocurrency operates in a virtual world, and once the scammers receive payment, it's virtually impossible to get it back."

A serious issue to be looked at?

The move will also push the cryptocurrency exchange toward transforming from a company into a community.
