Le halving est prévu pour 2020 : http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com

J'ai trouvé deux lignes de tendance assez sympa, si on aime comparer le passé avec le présent.

En 2014 :


En 2018 :


J'ai mis la time interval sur 4H car on a pas encore assez de données en 2018...

Les deux graphiques sont sur l'échelle logarithmique, et on voit très directement qu'on a jamais cassé cette sorte de résistance. Sur l'échelle classique, on pensait l'avoir pété y'a quelques jours, (cf ci dessous), mais est-ce que c'était vraiment le cas ?




(je suis complètement nul en trading, j'ai absolument aucune expérience sur le sujet mais j'ai trouvé que les deux lignes que j'ai repéré avaient l'air assez sympa, alors je partage  )

Awesome campaign, I've been happy to post everyday for this. Thank you for your awesome job, I would like to see more campaigns like this one. You did a really great filter job, which is a good thing for people who are doing much efforts for posting better quality stuff.

I really like this kind of campaign without hiden terms (like KYC asked at the end). Thank you again.

This can ben seen like an advice, so I don't see as wrong. We can lose all our investment in cryptocurrencies, and it doesn't require to see a bitcoin reaching 0 for that  

Investing in cryptos is a risky game that some people sometimes forget. Everyone must consider investing only what they can afford to lose, this is said everywhere on this forum but it's still the best advice, because yes, you can invest in something which will worth near 0 later.

About the graph showing price volatibility in the news, well, this is not surprising to see cryptocurrencies with an higher rate, haha. What do they expect ? Thet compare gold and cryptocurrencies, but this is not comparable. More the market cap is high, the less volatility will be, because with an higher market cap, you'll need much more money to shake the market. But this doesn't protect you against crashes.

Yes, and deflationary coins goes against our consuming society, where we have to spend our money which loses value. As we all want to keep our coins, having bitcoins as global currency would kill the consuming society, haha.

Currently, everyone sees bitcoin as a deflationary currency, which is wrong as mining creates inflation (around 1440 coins everydays, 525 600 every years which gives an inflation rate of 3.1% for this year). When inflation was higher in 2014, we were thinking it was one reason of a price drop.

For bitcoin, the protocol must evolve to use it back as currency. If everyone starts to use their coins, fees will rise again, maybe even more than december, so all daily purchases will be almost impossible. It was possible some years ago, when we had really less users, and I remember our motivation back in these years was to see bitcoin accepted by big merchands (like steam, microsoft, amazon, paypal integration? ). I don't see a lot of people hoping for another great merchant integration today, currently, people are talking about countries regulation and trading. Seems like bitcoin usage and goal has changed, indeed.

An ICO is just the act of pre-selling a new altcoin, before it reaches exchanges. This is a bit like crowfunding, this helps new companies here to get some revenues for marketing, paying employees, offices, taxes... Generally, buying during an ICO is more risky so the price per coin is lower than after it reaches an exchange (even if it's sometimes not true).

Not all altcoins are created from an ICO, this was mostly the 2017 trend. And even, not all coins from an altcoin issued from an ICO are dedicaced for the ICO, as you have bounties, parts given to the team or helpers which aren't sold during an ICO.

Companies need KYC to cash out the amount collected during ICO. This is needed to justify from where the funds come from. Without that, they cannot legaly pay their employees and taxes. Requiring KYC in an ICO is justified.

This is not because i'm against that, but I don't want to share my personal information with a new company, so I decided to avoid ICO that require KYC. If I really want to buy some coins, I just have to wait later, when it reaches exchanges. Of course, there is a risk to miss the train, but my personal informations worth more than that in my opinion.

For most of us, it's gambling indeed. This is not different than buying a lottery ticket, if you don't know how to analyze charts and understand the market.

95% of "trader" will lose money, when only 5% will win. Of course, these 5% have more knowledge than the rest. And it's easy to lose, generally, in the first trades, we win. But once we start to lose, we make mistakes to try to recover, so we are less patient, or taking more risks. When I discovered bitcoin, I tried to trade, and of course, I almost lost all what I had  

Thanksfully, I didn't invested so much at this time.

If you want to stop gambling, go to a trading school and learn the basics. If you can't reconsider the question, you trade without knowledge, this will turn against you, for sure. So in this case, don't play all your stack on trading, just a small part. At least, you'll be smart and don't lose everything.

Mining cryptocurrencies in smartphones can be done since years, but it has never been really developped, mostly because of devices prices and low performances. I've been always worried about this kind of mining, because mining on a mobile device can be dangerous with the lithium battery which is stressed by heat and abusive plugging time.
We all know what happens to a defective lithium battery : burning or explosion.

I wouldn't try if I would like to keep my device alive a long time

Yes, that's the problem. And as some people will follow the KYC, we can't do anything. A good option when this is required after the campain would be to halve rewards of people refusing KYC. That would be much more fair than now.

Anyway everyone shouldn't accept the KYC, this would block this process which is useless and cannot be required for bounties. When a company giveway you some sodas cans on the street, does they ask you your id card ? No. This is the same here.

For people saying it protects against multi account, I would say, if I'm a smart guy with multiples accounts, I would just do two different compaigns at the same time to avoid this. So KYC isn't a solution.

To everyone : just remember what we can do with KYC documents. The first example of what can be done in cryptocurrencies is registering on exchanges and selling coins. What will you do if the police knock at your door about a money laundering situation where you are involved because someone stole your identity ? It would take you years to prove you've been a victim of identity theft.

... until you get scammed by the last 1%  

I really don't understand how people can feel happy to share their personal ID with unknown people on an anonymous forum.

That's not fair. If I was you, I wouldn't give my personal informations to a company which starts his business by hiding important terms like this one. A KYC scam can be easily done and can be really dangerous for your personal life.

That's funny, I've always seen that newcomers sees regulation as a good news when earlies sees that as a bad news. I don't really understand why, maybe mindsets have changed and new users doesn't search the same purpose behind bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

2018 began mostly badly, even if the price comes back to 20k, I dont think this will be an amazing year as 2017. Let's hope it will just be a good consolidation year

As others people said, I follow the possibiliy of a web browser failure.

Do you know that is possible to create offline transactions with MEW ?  

https://myetherwallet.github.io/knowledge-base/offline/making-offline-transaction-on-myetherwallet.html

This could help you in the future to be protected against web browser attacks.

In my situation, I have an offline computer (this computer is NEVER connected to the network), I have the website in local storage and I follow the steps as described on the link.

This is quite impossible to hack you, as your private key is used on the offline computer, and if you use a dedicaced usd key for transfering the transaction information, and if you format it every times you use it, I think it becomes really hard to hack you  

I take care to delete the partition on the USB drive before every time I plug it again on the offline computer, to avoid possible viruses transferts.

Anyway, you could use an hardware wallet, but you still have this possibility if you don't want to  

My strategy about ico is the same than with all my investments : I cash out my initial investment when the price reaches 3x my buy price. Sometimes, this never happens, but whatever, if you invest only what you can afford to lose (yeah, that works with cryptocurrencies investments made from BTC too), I still can invest somewere else in parallel with the leftover I own.

3x price isn't that hard for good projects, in this situation, I get back my investment and I still own 2/3 of my coins, which is still a good amount for the future  

Most of your posts are on bounties parts of the forum, and most of these are twitters/facebook links related to others bounties campain. Bounties posts aren't considered as constructive posts on this campain, this is why you don't get your reward. We are friday, so you still can get a stake for this week 

This is not surprising to see this kind of scam coming.

Easy way : you create a token, and you airdrop it. An airdrop shouldn't need KYC, but whatever, some people will fall in the trap. The community is large enough to get hundreds of IDs by this way. Anyway you distribute your airdrop, and you sell these id on the darknet. That's done. People are happy as they got their token and they don't even know their IDs have been stolen.


I think there should be a pinned thread on the altcoin section to inform newcommers about this kind of scam

Yeah I've been surprised by the bitcoincash fork. In my opinion, I was convinced that once the fork would happen, the BTC would crash proportionnaly to the bitcoin cash value. This didn't happened so it's like people have welcomed bitcoin cash as a new independant currency.

In fact I was thinking this would have the same results than airdrops for the BTC price, creating inflation.

Nothing new, but trees doesn't reach the sky. The rise must stop one day as this happened in december.

These negatives news were a good reason for this drop, but this could have happened even without news. These news were here just to increase a bit more the drop factor.

Why not burning remaining coins ? This would be more fair for long time believers and nobody would be scared about distribution anymore  

You still have a lot to distribute, this will take a long time by your new method... I understand people here are sad about the distribution, but this wasn't the solution too, the coin crashed under 0.02 BTC because of inflation created by the distribution and we were hoping this would stop some months ago.

I was wondering, without checking news this morning : "wow, Byteball is dumping, even if altcoins are on the bad way, seems like there is something wrong, I should check the thread "
