2301  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-08-31] Bitcoin bank accounts now available to European citizens on: October 24, 2019, 04:23:05 AM
I do not see the real convenience of providing such a banking service. As I understand it, besides the fact that we will pay a commission for bitcoin transactions, will you still have to pay the bank one percent of the transfer amount? It turns out a bit too much. In addition, with such a bank account with a built-in bitcoin wallet, we will be constantly under the supervision of the bank and the government. Something is not very attractive to such a bank account. I don’t know, maybe in some life situations the presence of such a bank account will be beneficial, let's see how people will react to this.
2302  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Impact of Bitcoin growing Dominance on the Crypto space on: October 23, 2019, 04:55:42 AM
Btc dominance has overshadowed all other alts without a doubt, and from the look of things it seems this will continue for sometime, it seems as if the demand for btc keeps increasing as new investors put in money in the market, people trust their investment on btc than other alts hence the continue dominance.
Honestly, I do not like the tough price dominance of bitcoin in the cryptocurrency market. Of course, there are many useless altcoins on the market, but I would prefer that each of them develop without such dominance. Now, even the best altcoin projects have been in a price decline for almost two years due to bitcoin. Because of this, many began to lose their general interest in cryptocurrency. I think that the price dominance of bitcoin will not last long anyway. The cryptocurrency market will find a way to harmonize the relations of its participants.
2303  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen after cryptocurrency on: October 23, 2019, 04:35:41 AM
Money changed its shape through the history. As from non-monetary exchange to the need of having money. Fast forward to our current banknotes which are in my opinion slowly dying with bitcoin taking over. Many discussions are being held if bitcoin can be the primary currency in the world. Let's assume it can be. Everything has an end so what do you think will come after bitcoin? What will money look like hundreds of years from now? I predict its gonna be digital of course but I'm interested if its going to be a cryptocurrency or something else.
I see no signs that with the advent of bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, in general, paper money shows any signs of its disappearance. In my opinion, cryptocurrency will not revolutionize financial relations, as many assume. Of course, the influence of cryptocurrency, especially with the growing interest in it of ordinary users, is huge. However, cryptocurrency will occupy only its niche among other means of payment and will go along with the national money of states. There are many prospects for its use when combined with other types of means of payment, however, bitcoin or other cryptocurrency will not be able to replace the traditional payment systems or become dominant among them.
2304  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC, why do some people just get it, others really don't? on: October 23, 2019, 04:20:02 AM
The attitude to cryptocurrency largely depends on the first experience with cryptocurrency. If the result was positive, then the attitude towards it will be appropriate in the future. Also, such an attitude will largely depend on the degree of help from others, if a beginner in cryptocurrency has certain problems. Many sometimes face technical difficulties and, not knowing how to solve them, simply leave the cryptocurrency.
2305  Economy / Economics / Re: Private Coins from banks and governments on: October 22, 2019, 06:27:46 PM
Coins of states and their governments can hardly be called private. They are created on behalf of the state as national coins. Such coins in most cases are created as stable coins and in fact are the same currencies, only in digitized form. Such coins are likely to be in demand.
At the same time, most tokens can be called private, since they are often created for a private business.
A cryptocurrency of states similar to the CBDC Chinese coin will continue to appear. This is inevitable and there is nothing we can do about it. Yes, and is it worth it?
2306  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ukraine President a pro-cryto president on: October 22, 2019, 06:01:24 PM
I think that this time in Ukraine they quickly legalize cryptocurrency. The president and parliament work harmoniously and efficiently. However, it will nevertheless take some time to get to this law, because several thousand bills are waiting for consideration. It should also be borne in mind that several good bills have already been submitted to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and each of them can be taken as a basis.
So far, President Zelensky has lived up to the expectation of the people, although there are mistakes that an inexperienced politician will surely have.
2307  Economy / Economics / Re: What are the odds that the government/banks will truly create their own coin? on: October 21, 2019, 05:09:35 AM
This is already happening through the creation by states of their stable coins. Now this is clearly seen in connection with the creation by the Chinese government of its own stable coin CBDC, which is actually a digital yuan.
Although these coins are completely different from a decentralized cryptocurrency, they can have a significant impact on it, since people can use stable coins more as a means of payment. This will have both positive and negative sides. Cryptocurrency continues to evolve.
2308  Economy / Economics / Re: Current Market state on: October 21, 2019, 04:39:09 AM
For a long time, the cryptocurrency market has practically stood still and this is not characteristic of such a market. Especially in the fourth quarter of the year, when usually at this time cryptocurrency traditionally grows in value. True, in the last two years, the market is more in stagnation or decline, especially for altcoins. This year, bitcoin showed a good price increase only in the second quarter, increasing almost four times, however, altcoins reacted very weakly to this growth of bitcoin and this was quite unusual for the cryptocurrency market.
Now we still expect a significant increase in the price of cryptocurrency, however, this market has recently been giving us some surprises.
2309  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stable coin - a threat to the international monetary system and bitcoin on: October 21, 2019, 04:21:27 AM
This is the latest report of the G7 countries working group and the Bank for International Settlements regarding stable coins and bitcoins. In general, for the first time I see such a negative assessment regarding stable coins, including bitcoins. It seems that banks are concerned about the increasing role of stable coins in financial relations. Most likely, this is just the subjective opinion of the members of this group.
2310  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrencies Pose Risks to Banks, Warns Basel Committee on: October 20, 2019, 06:27:30 PM
At the same time, the European Central Bank announced the results of its research, in which it acknowledged that the cryptocurrency does not have any serious impact on the global financial system. It is not only about negative influence, but about any influence in general. This only indicates from which side they approach the consideration of this question and that these are rather subjective opinions. Cryptocurrency is still too short to conclude whether it will have a significant impact on the international financial system.
Over time, the valuation of decentralized cryptocurrencies by governments and banks will change, and possibly not for the better. So, recently in a recent report, G7 countries and the Bank for International Settlements announced that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not a safe investment and a reliable repository of value. While there is nothing dangerous for cryptocurrency, however, nothing good is also here. You should probably expect that the legalization of a decentralized cryptocurrency will slow down again or will not be fast enough.
2311  Economy / Economics / Re: Limited Supplies Lead To Death (SIMULATION) Satoshi Help. on: October 20, 2019, 06:08:33 PM
Sorry I been up for 24hours and my thoughts are just off the top of my head. The stuff I am talking about is in the middle of the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=494ki3Dz9pM
I'm sorry but you're getting it wrong, the way I see it, Bitcoin is not really limited like people think. Every single day there are lots of people buying and selling Bitcoin and it's never going to stop. And when the demand for it gets high the price will as well be high, which means that it reduces the amount that people are able to purchase with a particular amount. If you can buy 1 btc with $1 and there happens to be a high demand, then 1 btc will start selling at $2 and that means that you will no longer be able to get up to 1 btc with that amount and will have to opt for 0.5 btc. You see?
Apparently, it meant that 21 million bitcoins will be mined, but over time, in fact, their number will decrease due to natural decline. Already today, more than six million bitcoins from the extracted 18 million have been irretrievably lost. Over time, the number of lost bitcoins will increase. Therefore, over time, the number of working bitcoins will decrease and the time will come when there will be very few of them.
Of course, given the fact that Bitcoin is planned to be mined before 2140, these will not be our problems.
2312  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Bitcoin is not that good as currency? on: October 20, 2019, 05:18:57 PM
For me the reality is Bitcoin cannot be a currency just for the fact that people using it are after the gains ,having profit as a top reason.
But i guess that is just for now ,Bitcoin will undergo phases to be accepted as a currency in the future.
Now Bitcoin is used primarily as a means of accumulating value, since in general it increases in value every year. To a large extent, this is why it is very poorly used as a means of payment. What happens if bitcoin stops growing in price? I often ask myself this question. In my opinion, if this happens, the demand for it will drop sharply, and therefore the price for it will fall. Will it ever be used consistently as a means of payment? There are also many questions and insoluble problems.
At the same time, cryptocurrency as a whole is rapidly developing and improving. Its circulation in the future together with the usual currency is already undeniable.
2313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Honestly, do you guys think cryptocurrencies will be gone anytime soon? on: October 17, 2019, 04:08:02 PM
I haven't been trading my bitcoins and cryptos since this year begins, but I have noticed that the hype train is slowing down since then, compared to last year. I want some honest opinion about the future outlook of BTC or crypto per se. Should investors invest in it ?
The cryptocurrency market is developing cyclically, with periodic periods of ups and downs. Now it’s just a period of relative calm and nothing more. I do not see any threat to the existence of cryptocurrency. We have problems with the activities of ICOs, however, they are temporary and the market will surely find a way to solve them. Now there is a gradual legalization of cryptocurrency by states and this process has a positive effect on its popularity.
Since the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has been practically in place for quite some time, and a long pause is not peculiar to this market, given that we entered the last quarter of the year, I think that we will soon see good news.
2314  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No other currency on: October 17, 2019, 03:51:17 PM
In any case, it is very good that there are so many types of cryptocurrency. Thanks to competition, it is developing and improving very quickly now. If there were no altcoins, the cryptocurrency market would be boring and hardly as popular as it is now. As for the price of bitcoin, if it remained the only cryptocurrency, then it is difficult to say anything. Most likely, in 2017 we would not see its price of about $ 20,000, the market capitalization would be much lower.
In any case, we have a lot of types of cryptocurrency and now there will always be a lot of them.
2315  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum and stable coins like usdt on: October 16, 2019, 04:40:02 PM
Stable coins are going to be the everyday money in Crypto. With all the top stable coins being built on Ethereum and over half of all stable coins being built on Ethereum, it’s clear what Blockchain these stable coin projects prefer. It’s the chain that gives them what they need. the best blend of dependability, security and decentralization. That’s encouraging to see and has impact on credibility and price of Ethereum at some aspects, directly or indirectly.
I think that the presence of stable coins has a positive effect on the popularity of ethereum. At the same time, given that they use the ethereum network to a greater extent, this dramatically increased the load on the network. They call the figure a 40 percent increase in the load due to transactions with stable coins. Therefore, the scalability problem is more than ever before ethereum. Hope for upcoming improvements to this coin.
2316  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't be too quick to judge ICOs on: October 16, 2019, 04:27:56 PM
In general, the idea of ​​holding a fundraiser in the ICO format itself is pretty good. Thanks to the ICO, everyone has the opportunity to participate in the improvement of cryptocurrency and this method is the most simple and convenient. However, in order for ICO activities to work and develop normally, certain conditions are necessary, including the regulation of these activities by states in order to avoid such a high level of fraud, which exists now.
The decline in popularity of ICO projects is now also associated with the poor state of the cryptocurrency market and therefore investors now do not risk investing their money in ICOs.
I think that a good time for the ICO will be back.
2317  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs Traditional Payment Processors on: October 15, 2019, 05:06:59 AM
Of course, cryptocurrency cannot and will not resist the current payment systems. It will either integrate into current payment systems, or will be forgotten over time. It is most likely that cryptocurrency will supplement the list of existing payment systems and will work together with them. Cryptocurrency has many revolutionary advantages over other payment systems, but there are also disadvantages. Humanity must take advantage of all payment systems and create something one and the same.
2318  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should Fiat currencies still exist or be replaced by Crypto Currencies? on: October 15, 2019, 04:49:16 AM
Do not rush things. The world will develop in the same way as it did before this time. No cryptocurrency will change the course of history, even in the world of finance. Of course, cryptocurrency already has a great influence on the financial world, however, it will be just another financial asset that will occupy its niche among others. Fiat will not go anywhere and will continue to exist. Under no circumstances can cryptocurrency replace traditional payment systems. National money will exist until one superstate remains in our world. Of course, if at all possible.
2319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain didn't creat Satoshi on: October 15, 2019, 03:50:59 AM
satoshi didn't creat blockchain, because blockchain was created 17 years before Bitcoin was born. and with name Time-stamp. time-stamp was created in 1991 by Stuart Haber and W. Scott Stornetta. but not adopted en masse. because it has a common problem of byzantium. and in 2008 satoshi solved this problem with alternative solutions. namely through proof-of-work created by Satoshi, then Bitcoin was born as a verification tool on the blockchain. so make no mistake. satoshi is not creator of the blockchain. but only perfecting time-stamps (now blockchain) that have common problems and solve them with bitcoin.
That makes little difference. If Satoshi Nakamoto upgraded the blockchain to its current form and created Bitcoin, it will nevertheless be considered the creator of both Bitcoin and blockchain technology. In our world, almost all ingenious ideas are not born from scratch, certain developments must exist before this and be preceded by the appearance of such an idea. Even now we know the general achievements of inventions that will be applied in the future. For example, it is predicted that humanity will soon launch in the near-earth orbit daa artificial suns that will constantly illuminate our planet. It will be a ball, approximately six meters in diameter, in which approximately the same nuclear reaction will take place, which is now taking place in the sun. However, only he will be considered its inventor who implements this in practice.
2320  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Cryptocurrency threatens governments on: October 14, 2019, 06:47:22 PM
In the meantime, the common opinion of the G-20 states and the European Union states is that cryptocurrency is not a threat to global financial stability, which means that governments should not be afraid of the existence of cryptocurrency. What will happen in this matter in the future, no one knows. For now, governments will establish general rules for cryptocurrency circulation and try to influence it from various angles. This will be a long process of confrontation. The cryptocurrency will also be improved and in another ten years we may not recognize it. I can’t even say - it will be good or bad. We just have to watch this process and, just in case, accumulate coins and tokens.
