1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I need an opinion on rejecting a job offer or crypto on: March 19, 2018, 02:37:31 PM
I have opportunity in overseas job around 1000 usd. but my mind now not in a stable manner.

please guide me whats the best option doing crypto currency on the home or move to the job overseas?
Believe me I had the same situation just like you and I have chosen to make trading. The earning are much more higher with crypto trading but it has been 3-4 months that I haven`t met anyone new. You get isolated with crypto. If you think you will be happy with your job oversees and you will create network, you can also practice crypto after work.

If you wanna to play forex you should play with the higgest pips avaible at the broker you present, this will allow you to control your loss, if you play the short pips, those that gives you 2-3 dollars for each pip you are taking a risk and its almost a sure you will end loosing your money into those trades, forex isnt lucky is more about research, and be ready for the news.

Best way to gain control over something like this is to add a layer such as a side token. You can't do this in a bass root coin, but then you're placing the entire price control within the developers hands. In other words, you could use a clone of Bitcoin and recode it placing price control of its value completely within the wallet.

Bitcoin nowadays is popular specially in the 1st world country talking about roller coaster? Fluctuation of price is normal and i believe that the price of bitcoin is unpredictable. if you're going to look at the chart their's a big dip but if you have extra penny to invest when btc dips just ride with the whales and wait bitcoin to moon..
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin digital gold or digital cash? on: March 16, 2018, 04:08:09 PM
Answers to this question are constantly posted on this forum and on Reddit by people who are not software engineers/developers, nor product managers. Either that or they are truly terrible at their jobs. Reddit in particular has really turned into a garbage dump, but that's something for another discussion.

Anyway, in a business context you want to build software that meets your customer's expectations, so understanding how a user makes use of your software solution is really important for smooth communication and shared understanding between management, marketing and engineering. Normally you want to write out really detailed user stories/journeys, maybe even draw diagrams or create mock-ups that demonstrate the exact problem you're trying to solve and how your thing will solve it.

Here's a teaser:

Alice is at a farmer's market and wants to buy broccoli from a vendor. How does she pay?

Here are just a few important details that we need to know first:

- What country is Alice in, and what are the economic conditions?
- How much money does she make every year/how well off is she?
- How technologically sophisticated is she/how old is she?  
- What tastes and preferences does Alice have/what prejudices her in certain ways?


We need a lot more information before we start talking about what BIP we can code up in a day. If you think about these questions only from your own perspective and experience, you're discounting the majority of people on this planet that want to use the same technology. Bitcoin's value depends mainly on how many people can safely use it, and if it's not in use by the largest number of people possible, it will not achieve it's full potential/value.

The correct answer to the question in this poll is "it depends". Bitcoin is for humans, and humans have different needs. Most likely every redditor and bitcoin.org poster's favorite potential use case, "in-person payments at high volume merchants", will not be satisfied by Bitcoin directly. Use something else for that one narrow use case if Bitcoin isn't doing it for you, and support the engineers who are working to make Bitcoin more secure and stable, goddamnit  Grin

This will create mor millionaires in the future that is the way it will affect the future investments. The bitcoin is very potential asset as we all know. Many projects are being made on the basis of bitcoin and it is no way going down in the future. Just imagine price bitcoin reaching hundred thousand dollar would be precious day in lives of people who are holding coins which are bought today.  This will definitely boost their wealth by hundred to five hundred times as compared to today's investment. So it's really a good approach and we should also get engaged with bitcoin investment. The fate of bitcoin is not decided by anyone, it is on its own and looking at the current potential bitcoin looks undeniable investment for long term investors. The reality will be rewritten in the future if bitcoin works like this forever and keeps growing in the time.

Hello I have spent my bitcoins on a cloud mining website, and i am wondering if there is anything i can do to earn bitcoin while i wait for that, just keep in mind the following: I have no skills except for making offensive jokes, I don't have a job because I am a student, and I want to try and trade bitcoins :/ any answers would be greatly appreciated

Kind regards

Look for earning opportunities at the services area. It does not go empty on offers to earn some extra bitcoins. Of course buying bitcoin from exchanges is the fastest way you could have bitcoins but if you want to add to what you buy, you could join signature campaigns, sell stuff, write a blog, make a faucet site. The list of possible options could be a long one depending on how much time you would invest into having bitcoins.
7  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is unpredictable job. on: March 16, 2018, 10:15:05 AM
There are many people who lost their money on trading, because trading is unpredictable job, in my opinion i need:
Method ( i must have system trading)
Money ( i must have management of money and risk)
Mind ( i must can control my emotion)
Tell me your opinions?

Trading is really unpredictable job you are going to follow the flow of those pumpers who pump the coins so it will up and if they dump the coins buy and wait for the next pump trading is really profitable if you know your doing every day in trading i know that because i have experience in trading im not professional but enough to make profit.
8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has no role in real world on: March 16, 2018, 06:17:33 AM
For the fact that that bitcoin has been a successful project and Satoshi's vision have been actualized  and no one can deny that. Many countries are now accepting bitcoin. Some establishments, businesses, shops, and sites are also accepting bitcoin as payment for their services. Lots of people have invested and more are investing bitcoins and it have changed many lives, and still making more lives better, without a doubt.
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Offline Wallets Vs Online Wallets on: March 15, 2018, 03:41:18 PM
For me much better to used online wallet than offline wallet because online wallets is anywhere you can open and withdraw your bitcoin.
Offline wallet is not good to use and very risky because you can use it when you are at home or when you use your personal computer, and very risky because when your computer is in trouble and the hard disk is broken everything inside your wallet will be lost and your bitcoin is gone.

http://astrohacker.com/ahc/bitcoin-is-the-economic-singularity/

After reading this, the scale of black market and digital economies and the effect Bitcoin will have on them I am pretty certain we are going to be very wealthy men -- even with a sum as small as 10 Bitcoins. It's just so hard to believe. We are only in the beginning storms with these significant rallies from 10 to 20 dollars. I will not be surprised to see prices from hundreds to thousands in the coming months.

The world just isn't going to be the same and we have been blessed as the pioneers.

What are you going to do with your Bitcoin wealth once your coins hit upwards of $10,000 a pop?
Those of you who don't like your governments/countrys, regardless of where you live, why don't you move somewhere else?
There must be some other country somewhere that you like better.
Personally I don't mind paying tax (within reason) since it pays for my insulin, Enbrel, and my 50% disability pension.
I'm not saying I love my government, on the contrary, I voted on a opposition party. But from there to refuse paying tax is a bit too long step.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Am i late to buy bitcoin now ?? on: March 15, 2018, 02:48:02 AM
From my views its not to late to buy the bitcoin . There are also a chance to  buy the bitcoin now and don't wait for the future because now a days the price of bitcoin is countinously increasing every day so to get more profit from the bitcoin in the future it is good time to buy the bitcoin and don't think else about the bitcoin whether the price of bitcoin will increase or decrease. The price of bitcoin is always increased.
12  Economy / Speculation / Re: Holding will be a risk or not?? on: March 14, 2018, 01:28:10 AM
As indicated by predictions bitcoin should have achieved 15k$ by end of 2017 and fall in first week of jan 2018

In any case, shockingly its effectively reached 17k$ in 2017.

Should I purchase or hold my btc?I don't plan to sell at any point in the near future.
Ofcourse it has a risk, because once you put a capital with a business it will always have a risk. Just like when you put a money in bitcoin and hold it for a long time. Because bitcoin is very unstable and we cannot say when bitcoin will increase or decreased, it is our choice if we want to take risks.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sell your house for investment in btc. on: March 13, 2018, 07:00:28 AM
Just imagine selling your $259,900 house for 43BTC and 2 Months in street.

and after just 2 months sell 43BTC for $498198.

Again buying the previous also you will be in profit of $472298.


would you try this technique.
Cool Idea mate, it is sort of gambling but if you really want to try this then you can take care house for rent I'm try this thing even if the Bitcoin price crashed just after you sold the house you can wait like 3 to 4 years so that the price can climb again to this price and you can buy your house again. Of course this is the most creazy idea I have ever heard but that's how it works you have to take some risk in order to gain extremely high profit. But always remember there is no shortcut in life to become rich if you play Smart games then play them smartly.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can bitcoin survive? on: March 13, 2018, 03:10:57 AM
After there is a BCC can the bitcoin survive or bitcoin will be much more up the price after this
What do you think about this?
of course it can survive ,its the future . Digital payment system it will rise more and more pumping dumping will keep going on . bt it cant die .the whole trading system is depended on it if it happens the worlds economi will fall greatly so there is no chance of its dieing
15  Economy / Economics / Re: The future of the paper money on: March 12, 2018, 05:52:14 PM
Andrew Haldane said one solution would be for the Bank of England to issue a state-backed digital currency based on bitcoin. Supporting this initiative would be a negative interest rate levied on paper currency relative to the digital currency, with these measures do you think there is more possibilities that sometime:

Paper money will be banned entirely?
How long do you think that happens?
would it work?
What security and privacy risks would it raise?
And how would public and privately issued monies interact?

In the next decades, i do not believe paper money will exist.

Digital money is getting bigger for a reason, and one of those primary reasons is the salvation and protection of trees indirectly as well.

Think of how much pollution we create. If paper money is converted to digital money, counterfeit will not be created and the environment will also be protected in this process.
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In what situation would Bitcoin die? on: March 12, 2018, 04:41:58 AM
How and why would the end of bitcoin (and any other cryptocurrency) occur? Value decrease? Legality issues? Different technology/ideas to supersede it?
I don't think that bitcoin will die, it will have some value even if some new technology appear, people will collect it cause it's first of it's kind.
Everything around us is evolving, bitcoin will have the same destiny, and I think bitcoin will be only better with the time. Quantum computing is also technology, and why bitcon can adopt on it? For me all mentioned scenarios are lucky guessing, I think bitcoin is strong enough to survive all upcoming problems and threats.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: when is the right time to invest on bitcoin on: March 11, 2018, 03:26:31 AM
hi would like to know when is the next price to invest on bitcoins ?

anyone can advise

thanks
I have been hearing mix sort of opinion here of when to buy or not. I think it depends on one situation. If you have money then just buy the bitcoins now without caring what is the price. If you wait, maybe you don't have the money at the time when the bitcoin price is low, so you will be left out. Better to buy now if you have money and can afford it.
18  Economy / Economics / Re: Generating Passive Income on: March 06, 2018, 11:05:19 AM
Hey folks,

I realise that the simplest way to make a profit on crypto at the moment seems to be just buying and holding Bitcoin, but I'm curious if there are any coins or tokens designed specifically to generate ongoing passive income for holding them and if so, how they work?

Appreciate any replies,
I don't think coin that generates passive income exist as everything on the market has a volatility rate and dependable on the demand which determine its price. I recommend you to buy highly potential coins that performed good on the last week or month, you can also buy recently dip coins as they are expected to pump because of new investors that it will gather.
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in College??? on: March 06, 2018, 09:57:39 AM
Bitcoin as a course or any related currency on web.
In my country we have multiple courses in computer especially programing and web developments. My course is also information technology, but i've never heard or learn about online currency as bitcoin. In present, and future studies is there any chances for inserting about it in education. In your country is it available?
It would be better for any country to adopt bitcoin in educating new generations. Instead of playing games and wasting money in surfing xxx sites.
Its a great idea to teach blockchain technology or bitcoin to college students but his hypothetical event really needs a strong agreement from the government and private institutions. This idea should be supported by the government specially the senate as they are the executives of laws and regulations, also the banks if they are open to blochchain technology or bitcoin implementation.
20  Economy / Economics / Re: 5 Reasons Bitcoin Is Not A Bubble on: March 06, 2018, 03:49:50 AM
Quote
The digital currency bitcoin rallied by over 300 percent since the start of the year and has recently surpassed the $4,000 mark. Unsurprisingly, many financial markets pundits consider such a sharp rally the creation of an asset bubble.

In all fairness, the returns that bitcoin and its digital peers in the crypto assets space are experiencing have not been seen since the day and age of the internet bubble in the late 1990s. However, Bitcoin has very different fundamentals than early internet stocks and a much more promising growth trajectory.

Quote
1. The Growing Acceptance of Bitcoin as Legal Tender
One of Bitcoin’s biggest challenges so far has been acceptance by lawmakers and financial regulators due to its decentralized nature and its unfortunate association with criminal activities carried out on the dark web. However, Bitcoin’s “official” acceptance is on the rise.
 
In April 2017, Japan announced that it would officially begin accepting Bitcoin as a legal payment method, which immediately boosted the price of bitcoin and has led to a substantial increase in merchant adoption across Japan.
 
In the Philippines, citizens have been increasingly using Bitcoin to send and receive low-cost remittances. This has not gone unnoticed by the country’s central bank, which announced in February 2017 that it will regulate Bitcoin so that the digital currency can be used as an officially accepted remittance system and, thereby, granting it full legal status.
 
Countries such as Australia and Russia have recently made similar statements that could lead to Bitcoin becoming a fully accepted medium of exchange in their respective countries. This is a trend that is likely to continue, given the growing demand for Bitcoin as an investment as well as an online payment system.
 
2. Increasing Merchant Adoption
In the early years of Bitcoin, merchant adoption was limited to a few brave ecommerce stores, usually run by early-stage Bitcoin enthusiasts. This, however, has changed substantially as leading tech companies and ecommerce platforms have chosen to accept Bitcoin as a payment method. Microsoft, Rakuten and Overstock are three of the largest companies to accept Bitcoin payments.
 
With bitcoin’s sharp price rally, increased media coverage and newfound acceptance in places such as Japan, Bitcoin merchant adoption is on the rise and this trend will likely continue.
 
The arguments for online merchants to accept Bitcoin are actually very strong; fees are lower than for credit card payments, chargeback fraud is entirely eliminated, new customers can be reached in underbanked regions and a new, tech-savvy consumer base can be attracted.
 
The more that merchant adoption increases globally, the more there will be regular and stable demand for the digital currency. And given the current low rate of merchant adoption, there is a substantial room for upside.
 
3. Bitcoin Is Increasingly Acting as a Store of Wealth in Distressed Economies
Another reason why Bitcoin is most likely not a bubble is that is has a much-need real world application in economically distressed countries. In places such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Zimbabwe, for example, bitcoin has been acting as a store of wealth and as an alternative spending currency as local currencies are weakening into worthlessness. This can be witnessed by increasing bitcoin trading volumes that are negatively correlated with the performance of local currencies and economic growth in distressed regions.
 
Bitcoin also allows individuals and businesses in countries with strict capital controls, such as Venezuela, to receive much-needed remittances to stay financially afloat. In other words, wherever there is economic distress, Bitcoin demand will likely rise and Bitcoin adoption will grow.
 
4. Bitcoin Has Only Just Gone Mainstream
You could say that 2017 has been the year in which Bitcoin has finally gone mainstream. Five years ago, if you would have asked the average person on the street what Bitcoin is, they would have most likely given you a bewildered look. Today, most people have at least heard of Bitcoin and many even know that one bitcoin is worth more than an ounce of gold.
 
Now that Bitcoin has become mainstream, the buying potential from new investors is immense, especially as institutional investors have started to open up to the idea of investing in bitcoin and other digital currencies.
 
5. Bitcoin’s Supply Is Limited
Finally, one of the key reason why Bitcoin has become so valuable is that its increasing demand is met with a fixed limited supply.
 
Because of the way Bitcoin was created, only 21 million coins can ever be mined. Furthermore, the rate at which new coins are created slows down over time, which means the increasing demand for the digital currency is not only met with a limited total supply but also with a continuously slowing supply.
 
The discussion of whether Bitcoin is a bubble or not will likely continue indefinitely, but the comparison between Bitcoin and early internet stocks does not hold true due to the fundamental differences between the two asset classes.

*  *  *

As CoinTelegraph notes, countering no shortage of criticism from traditional financial circles that Bitcoin’s price had grown too quickly and would inevitably crash, the new-found faith in Bitcoin and its maturing as a medium of exchange has become apparent in its increasing resilience to ‘FUD’ or other bad news.

Mainstream forecasters now predict further upward momentum for prices, with TradingView eyeing a new all-time high of $6,800 for November despite the uncertainty surrounding the SegWit2x hard fork.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-10-26/bitcoin-spikes-back-6000-five-reasons-why-its-not-bubble

...

This is a good flipside to the "bitcoin is a bubble" stories the media has spammed us with since forever.

Another good case for bitcoin not being a bubble due to its high projected future growth can be found in this thread here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2281270.msg23152743#msg23152743

I think the article above addresses some of the points economists and finance analysts have glossed over. Bitcoin's growth in relation to its fundamental metrics are what will likely determine whether bitcoin is a bubble. Thus far none of the experts have addressed that topic. There's zero acknowledgement made of bitcoin's adoption in countries like japan, the philippines, russia or australia and crypto's transition towards becoming more mainstream. No commentary on whether those effects on bitcoin's elevated price could be sustainable.

It is possible that we will never see anything resembling legitimate analysis of bitcoin from the media. They have a long history of sweeping relevent and key points under the nearest rug. Out of sight, out of mind. Over the long term this could create opportunities for independent media to rise if indeed nature abhors a vacuum.

Is bitcoin a bubble? What are everyones thoughts on this?   Huh
What really prove that bitcoin is not a bubble is the time it spent on the market. For almost 9 years in the market, bitcoin reaches an unbelievable milestone after being the universal cryptocurrency due to its flexibility. If bitcoin is really a bubble it should have popped a couple of years ago as the total value of bitcoin around the world costs million of dollars.
