141  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin cash is dropping over 37%, no one talks about it? on: December 22, 2017, 01:53:17 PM
like it never happened in the past to have this kind of correction and not just for BTC but for all the altcoins as well, what's news?
Holders will hold, casual will panic sell and BTC will always be the same rollercoaster we are used to see on a daily basis.
Do you really think BCH would take over BTC? Of course after an huge pump there will always be a correction, despite the name of the coin.
142  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is an Illuminati Scam? on: December 22, 2017, 09:25:07 AM
wow, in the last couple of months i have read a lot of funny theory about BTC, starting from "BTC is halal or haram?", "trust me, i'm a market senior magament yadda yadda, sell everything because BTC are cursed!" and now the Illuminati consiprancy.
What's next? BTC are the primary cause of flat earth? Or why not BTC are used to pay aircrafts for the chemical trails? An asteroid will hit planet earth and guess what? It's because of BTC!
Bad, bad bitcoin, you are the cause of millions of deaths all around the world..
At least this kind of topic are funny to read Smiley
143  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why all crypto currency is falling? on: December 22, 2017, 09:17:49 AM
most of the time, when there is a price correction of BTC, altcoins follow the trend, alts are not immune to drop or corrections.
This BCH insider trading crap are kinda destabilizing investor (not the holders) because of this, we are seeing lot of panic selling transactions.
It will stabilize soon for all the crypto, think about this drop as another chance to buy some more at a reasonable price.
144  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long for lightning-network? on: December 21, 2017, 05:45:56 PM
ye, sadly it's gonna take a while but this issue should be addressed asap because as now, this is really detrimental for the investors (not the whales because it always rains in the wet), at the moment i have a very old wallet which contain less than the cost of the transaction and there is nothing i can do to move out my dust to another wallet.
Would be a shame to see a project like this dying because of that, people will keep supporting it but small investors will move to a different coin if this will not change soon.
145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to transfer Bch? on: December 21, 2017, 02:49:56 PM
as far as i know, you need to import in a bch wallet like electrum.
I have found a topic with the step-by-step instruction how to claim your BCH.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2078292.0

or, here another way:
This is simple:

1- Export 12 word recovery phrase from your current Blockchain.info Bitcoin (BTC) wallet A
(which did have some BTC on August 1!)

2- Create a new Blockchain.info Bitcoin (BTC) wallet B

3- Transfer ALL bitcoin from Bitcoin (BTC) wallet A to B
Wait for minimal of 2 confirmations! Your wallet A is now EMPTY.

4- Create Bitcoin Cash (BCH) wallet at BTC.COM

5- Import the bitcoin cash with 12 word recovery phrase from wallet A (bullet 1)
(no risk for your bitcoin, since your wallet A is now empty and your bitcoin now is in wallet B)

Enjoy!
146  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Optimistic for 2018? on: December 21, 2017, 02:44:33 PM
on a scale from 1 to 10 i'm at 8/10 because this has been proven many times that BTC are widely and well supported by loads of people.
Scaling is an issue but i'm confident it will be solved soon (and i'm looking at you 2018) because this can't be ignored anymore, other than that if you are not living under a rock, you see talking about bitcoin everywhere, newspaper, community, hell now even memes on the internet are about bitcoin.

One of them is:
A boy asked his bitcoin-investing dad for 1 bitcoin for christmas
Dad: What? $15544?! $14767 is a lot of money! What do you need $16784 for anyway?

pretty funny because it reflected the last couple of months or even days/hours  Grin
147  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What to expect, now to early January? on: December 21, 2017, 02:10:08 PM
i would love to have a crystal ball to foresee what will happen in this crazy world of cryptos.
Like in the past during xmas/new year there is a price correction (cashing out for gifts, yearly gains and so on) but the latest months were scary for BTC, the bull run somehow was too much, way too much steam in it.
The main issue which should be solved soon are the transaction fees, the protocol is not able anymore to handle all the transaction and this will get worse and worse by the look of it.
Let's hope devs will work hard to implement lightning network because as now, it's only profitable for whales and BTC can't be used anymore for small transaction.
148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin gambling is legal? on: December 21, 2017, 01:47:37 PM
in my home country gambling is illegal or better, have to be government regulated (read it as owned by government) like the tobacco monopoly.
All the lotteries, slot machines are controlled by government and none can put their own machines without having the license to do so.
There are many casino online, roulettes and other gambling websites but the webserver must be in a country where gambling is legal, it's always up to the country to regulate it and gambling with BTC it's the same (at least for my country).

150  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Wallet Hack Who wants to get rich? on: December 21, 2017, 01:11:02 PM
ye sure, this post, let me guess, to promote a crappy youtube video in order to increase the counter.
Guess what? nobody would fall for that because these kind of claims are like "lose 20kg in 15 minutes! it works!" or "click here to get 1 millions dollar! no scam!"
Do you really think if somebody will ever have a solid and stable way to crack any BTC wallet would it put a video on youtube?
This is just a low quality bait to get views...
btw, i didn't click the link because i don't really need to check this crappy stuff.
151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If the bitcoin holder dies on: December 21, 2017, 12:59:37 PM
if nobody knows about how to get into the wallet (password, private key, etc.) these BTC are gone, nobody can get it.
That's why if you hold a good amount of BTC you should have trusted friend or family member to have all the information to recover your coins, but this would happen also for your bank account, when you're gone everything's coming with you, in the /dev/null Smiley
No you are wrong here banks have a field for nominee ,so if you dead the funds goes to that person already mentioned at the time of opening a account.
well, if you have a nominee it works, otherwise if banks "really wants" to find somebody to send the money in the account it's a long process and is not free.
happened to a friend of mine when his dad died, there was no nominee and even though he demonstrated to be his son, the account was locked for ages, he needed a lawyer to be able to unlock the fonds in it.
That's at least what can happen in my home country.

wow, this is amazingly scary to see, where many human things are involved in real life poker games.
Ai is getting stronger and stronger every day and working in a company where the AI is being developed and used for human needs like medical field, cancer researches, rare sickness and so on, it's good to see the versatility and usefulness of machines either way.
154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have You Been Scammed? on: December 21, 2017, 12:12:57 PM
now that BTC and crypto in general are under everyone's lights, there is an huge possibility to get scammed or hacked if you don't pay attention.
Getting scammed is easy, many websites, suspicious link who claims to double your BTC in just a couple of clicks!! Be practical, do you really think somebody would give you twice the amount for free?
Hacked is a different story but it's always your own fault if you get hacked/scammed.. the weak link in all of this is you, human nature is not as secure as btc/blockchain Smiley
155  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is DEAD for small payments, Bitcoin Cash is the FUTURE on: December 21, 2017, 11:59:24 AM
claiming Bitcoin Cash is the future is something we already saw in the past, every new coin were a revolution to crypto world! and then, after couple of days/months/pumps everyone was back to BTC forgetting the new "amazing" coin.
I do agree with you that the transaction fees at the moment are a dealbreaker thing, way too high and not worth for small transaction, as now we just have to wait for the implementation of a new protocol; diversification is always a good choice if you have the money for that but definitely BTC cash is not the new messiah.
156  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop loss limit at wallets on: December 21, 2017, 11:48:20 AM
take my words with a pinch of salt, but i'm not aware of anything like this if your BTC are in a wallet which is not the exchanger wallet.
Stop loss is used on exchanger and that means you have to deposit your coins to them and set the stop loss on it.
Setting an alert to check the BTC prices and send you a message when the price drop to xxx should be really easy to achieve but this will not solve your problem, in order to be able to sell at certain price you need to put your coins in exchanger.
157  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to keep my wallet safe? on: December 21, 2017, 11:45:01 AM
the best way is to have an hardware wallet, like somebody already pointed out, ledger wallet is also a pretty cheap solution to keep safe your BTC.
Even if you lose it, get burned, stolen with your recovery password (usually 12/24 words password) you can easily get a new one and recovery it just by putting the password and you are back on track.
On the other hand, if you lose your password you screwed yourself, better to carve it in stone to be 200% safer Smiley
158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: the house always win???? on: December 21, 2017, 08:51:51 AM
for me it depend on what are you gambling because for example, betting/gambling on eSports, normal sports (tennis, football and so on) are quite different than casino, roulettes and dice games.
The house always win because in long term, even if you play the double amount game you won't be able to continue forever (limited amount of money).. and thinking about Las Vegas, if the house wouldn't "always" win, there would be less and less casino around.
159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I am looking for a different gambling. please recommend on: December 21, 2017, 08:44:50 AM
Ye, you should say which kind of gambling are you into first, there are way too many different form of gambling around choose the one who gives you fun because, all in all, gambling it's all about having fun while doing it Smiley
