Forex trading is the indicator on financial system worldwide. USDollar/EURO/GBP/Gold/Silver are the pillars of trading and business worldwide. When you buy, for example US dollar, you show your confidence in US economy. Gold and Silver is universally accepted investment which protects people's wealth during wars, inflation etc.. So investing in forex is investing in a country and not in a company. In stock markets, you invest in a company and 150 of Fortune 500 companies have closed down since year 2006.

Bitcoin future does not look good since it is decentralized and it is trying to eliminate world's most powerful currencies

What an empty argument

Hi guys, What are your favorite picks right now? I'm talking about projects that already did an ICO and have been silently working on something / are underhyped. I'll share my picks once there are a few replies

Universa
164  Economy / Economics / Re: Why a medieval peasant got more vacation time than you on: March 25, 2018, 01:41:11 PM
I'm doubtfull if they had so much vacation or leisure time. Sure if you are agrarial and its winter you can't do much on the land but many of these people also had second jobs that could be done during the winter and a lot of them did as money was scarce and these peasants we're under the rule of a landlord that litterly owned them. So what do they base vacation time or leisure on in the first place? Era's are also very different. I find it interesting but I'd need more background on what they base this stuff on.

I'm not sure why I keep seeing people saying the merit system is not fair? Just post constructively and you're fine that was a golden rule before the merit system aswell.

Hello all !

I am trying to find how poloniex is calculating weighted average price of BTC/USD (for example). How weighted average price is calculated ? What is actually a weighted average price and what represents ?

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/weightedaverage.asp Ever thought about just googling it?

This isn't exactly a qestion for this board section. Try altcoin discussion.
168  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: CoinMarketCap manipulates the market? (Not FUD) on: March 25, 2018, 01:22:23 PM
Some of the arguments given seem to come from a lack of understanding. Such as the ''?'', it appears because its not known yet how much supply such a coin has. A lot of coins that get listed still haven't updated the supply for themselves, do burns or whatever. But some of these coins achieve very high volumes plus you can also look in ''Recently added'' to see the new coins. I'm not sure if there is an actuall problem or if someone is looking for a problem.
169  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's your experience with paying with btc/crypto in real life? on: March 25, 2018, 01:09:11 PM
Have you ever paid for something via bitcoin? What was the experience like? How did you deal with the transaction fees and the waiting time?

Share your story. Smiley

Never really had a problem paying with BTC trough payment processors like BitPay. Transaction fees we're not a problem and the waiting time was like five minutes.
170  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Installing RIPPLED SERVER on Ubuntu Digital Ocean on: March 24, 2018, 04:29:34 PM
Does anybody have an idea of the size of hard drive required to run a Rippled Server?

I am testing some software where customers pay checkout using XRP so want to run Ripple on a server and use that server to confirm payments have been made and to generate new unique addresses at checkout.

Any tips?

Maybe check a wiki, here is one though I don't think it covers how to's etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_(payment_protocol)
Here is another one https://wiki.ripple.com/Introduction_to_Ripple_for_Bitcoiners

Oh here is a how to: https://wiki.ripple.com/Rippled_setup_instructions
171  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you learn about new cryptos? on: March 23, 2018, 09:31:53 PM
Coinmarket cap recently added coins and just click on some. ICO calender sites are helpfull aswell.
172  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin a Reserve Currency? on: March 23, 2018, 09:24:52 PM
So because of the recent downward volatility I have been reading a lot of threads and posts about how bitcoin is a bubble and could crash to zero. I have a different theory: bitcoin will one day become a reserve currency!

Right now countries typically hold US Dollars, Gold and Oil in reserves. The amount of these reserves is critical for smaller countries. Bitcoin is not on that list...yet.

According to the World Gold Council, the total value of all gold ever mined is about $7.8 trillion. The oil market is worth $1.7 billion/per year. There are also 1.56 Trillion USD in circulation.  At the moment, bitcoin is worth around $145.9 billion.

If bitcoin were to become part of the reserve mix for even small countries, its value would skyrocket. I can easily see it having a market cap in the trillions.

Sure we could very well see BTC being a reserve currency in 10 years or something but do you expect those entire 10 years to be just up without crashes and bear markets?
173  Other / Meta / Re: why every day we must repeat the same q in this forum section it's booooring on: March 23, 2018, 09:22:37 PM
Though it is quite tiring, still repartition of questions is an indication that lots of people are getting interested towards cyptocurrency world and want to know more about it clearly.
These questions are being asked when the same question is litterly on the first page already. Its just people counting their posts for a higher rank and botspam imo.

176  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO ban and #deletefacebook on: March 23, 2018, 09:02:38 PM
Damn, their stock has tanked hard. Is this all due to this recent events? Is Elon Musk trying to take down facebook? Cheesy

Facebook had been selling user data illegaly and is facing lawsuits, the fines could ruin the platform financially.
177  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Absolute-coin another scam on: March 23, 2018, 09:01:15 PM
Thanks for the headsup but its not just ''lately'' been happening since the first time Bitcoin got forked.
178  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ignis on: March 23, 2018, 06:10:58 PM
I have been a victim of ignis since early January, and until now I have kept it and continue to buy it to reduce the losses of ignis,
my question is what is your prediction about ignis? will the ignis re-skyrocket? the price of the ignis is now very down and it seems very hard to go up, I feel anxious with the ignis which keeps going down.

It was quite likely to dump honestly. I still hold some IGNIS, ARDR and NXT because I can't be bothered getting into the NXT wallet. The quantities are fairly small aswell.
179  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin legal on: March 23, 2018, 06:07:06 PM
To the best of my knowledge, Bitcoin has not been made illegal by legislation in most jurisdictions. However, some jurisdictions (such as Argentina and Russia) severely restrict or ban foreign currencies. Other jurisdictions (such as Thailand) may limit the licensing of certain entities such as Bitcoin exchanges.
Regulators from various jurisdictions are taking steps to provide individuals and businesses with rules on how to integrate this new technology with the formal, regulated financial system.

But have you come to think of it... Whether Bitcoin can be used for illegal Activities...
What are some ways you think it can be used for? (illegal Activities) mention some.
 

Some countries have declared it legal others haven't decided.
