241  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you approve this strategy: sell alts buy btc? on: May 29, 2018, 05:19:35 PM
No, I wont recommend selling all your alts for bitcoin. Alts, though still rising slowly, have a lot of potential and can lead to earning good profits in a short period of time.
Ethereum is the second most popular crypto and is a great alt. Not only as an investment asset, it can be used as a platform for posting new ICOs. Also it is used as a token for smart, decentralised applications.
Monero is the best privacy coin out there. Due to its ring signature, it makes transactions untraceable. It also provides complete anonymity in its transactions which makes the information of the sender and receiver private.
Hence, these are great coins and will provide you with good profits in the future.

Looks like this are turning around....what are you buying low?

I have already put my investments in Ethereum.
Ethereum is currently suffering from a dip which makes it a great investment right now. The coin has one of the best development teams behind it and also, since acceptance from big companies like Microsoft, Intel, JP Morgan, the coin's market price has seen an all time high in the past few months. Since its origin in 2016, the coin shows a great development by 1100% and now can easily cross the $1500 mark by the end of 2018. Hence, it is a very promising investment currently and will give me good returns.
243  Economy / Economics / Re: £500 to spend, on Ether or Bitcoin? on: May 28, 2018, 06:18:42 PM
Hi All,

I have just over £500 to spend and I'm not sure where I should be investing this.

Do I buy a small fraction of a bitcoin or buy 2 ethers?

What would you do?

I'm looking for some long term investment.

Also, i'm hoping to contribute £100 per month towards either one but not sure which direction I should be taking.


Many Thanks

It would be a much more smart move to invest equal amount of your money in both the coins. Bitcoin being the pioneer is considered as a brand of cryptocurrencies and with a strong market capital of $123 billion is no longer under a financial bubble. Hence, it ensures a safe investment.
Ethereum is the second most popular crypto and with its potential will help you earn good profits in a shorter period of time. Also, not just as an investment asset, the coin can be used as a token for smart applications or as a platform for posting new ICOs. Hence, you should consider in investing in both the coins.
244  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are the benefits of Crypto Currency? on: May 28, 2018, 06:02:15 PM
Cryptos have extreme potential and hence allow you to earn good profits in a short period of time.
Also, they are decentralised which makes them not bound to any rules and regulations, unlike banks and hence make for a good investment asset.
They allow you to make transactions throughout the world with a small fees and also with their anonymous nature, makes the transactions private. By this, the information of the sender and reciever is kept private.
245  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Invest in Litecoin on: May 28, 2018, 05:47:47 PM
I have invested in Litecoin and I hope you do too, price is expected to rise rapidly by next week for Litecoin.

Litecoin looks like a very promising investment right now. Currently with a market capital of $6.4 billion, the coin seems to have the potential to cross the $500 mark by the end of 2018. The coin with its blockchain of 2.5 minutes helps in making transactions four times better than the pioneer, Bitcoin. Also, since Segwit activation, this has improved a lot. After being accepted by CoinBase, the coin's market value has seen a shoot. The coin has one of the best development teams behind it and you can expect good returns from the coin.
246  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin down, what will happen? on: May 23, 2018, 06:44:08 PM
OP If you are of a nervous dispositions then virtual currencies are not somewhere you should be looking to invest. Buy some old car or antique and sit safe in the knowledge that it is increasing by a small % every year.

If however you able to deal with risk and have some perspective on the amount you invest, ie you can afford to lose all of what you invest, then jump in.

Bitcoin will go down and it will go up, just like the sun does everyday. 

Price of bitcoin last May was around $2400, currently after a drop its $7,924.89, OP That's a 3 times increase in 12 months,, please show me an investment that has done that in a year and not experienced any drops.
Nothing much will happen.It is just that bitcoin users will hold their bitcoins for future price rise.Cryptocurrencies are in a lot of demand these days because digitization is going on.Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are very popular.Although the prices are down these days but still people have faith in bitcoin.The price of bitcoin depends on the forces of demand and supply and the investments done on it.Price are buying bitcoins these days as the prices are down.
247  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin & College students . on: May 23, 2018, 05:20:04 PM
   I believe that a huge portion of the the crypto community are still young college students that don't have any necessities that need another source of income aside from their scholarships / the money they are getting from their parents .
And apart from spending their cryptos on either betting or purchasing goods/video games from online markets , many of these students didn't make plans for what they'll do with their coins in the future.
  I myself have had many thoughts about hodling and launching a business as soon as i graduate with the coins in my possession , yet i'm not exactly sure what i'll be doing ..
So i'm really curious about :
- On what do you spend your coins apart than partying/gambling/paying for tuition loans ?
- Do you have any future plans for your coins if you are hodling any ?


Well what about students traveling abroad, lots of students go over seas to help third world countries or going on vacation during spring or winter break. Why wouldn't students get into bitcoin?.
As we all know that bitcoin is a very good opportunity for all of the people to earn a lot of money.Bitcoin is like an extra income or extra pocket money.Everyone wants to earn money.For college students bitcoin is like a blessing.College students need a lot of money for their daily expenditures.A large portion of cryptocurrencies are only used by students and youngsters only because they have some desires to earn money and that too without any hardwork so bitcoin is the best option.
248  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Future of bitcoins on: May 22, 2018, 06:29:08 PM
In future will the banks be able to exchange bitcoins?
Now we are exchanging from traders...but when (if) the popularity of bitcoin increase a lot then the traders will not be able to exchange such amount of bitcoins...so what about the future of bitcoin?
There are a lot of possibilities in the future. We can always count on the success of bitcoin knowing that we are seeing that it is slowly reaching in to the world market. When it comes to banks, maybe some will be able to transact and exchange bitcoin but I don't think it will still be often knowing that a lot of exchanges are now arising which threatens banks existence.
I think the future of Bitcoin is great.Bitcoin is gaining a lot of users day by day.The investors of Bitcoin are also increasing because Bitcoin gives huge amount of returns in a short period of time and since the price is increasing the profits are huge.Bitcoin is also not taxable since it is decentralized although government does not backs Bitcoin but still people use Bitcoin in order to earn extra money. People are prefering Bitcoin over banks because Bitcoin gives more interest rates than banks.
249  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin a good idea? on: May 22, 2018, 05:14:59 PM
Bitcoin hit an intermediate-term bottom during the SEC and CFTC hearing. If you’re new to cryptocurrencies, the volatility can be unnerving. But keep in mind it’s normal as the industry goes. This was the 13th decline of 30% or more in the last five years.

Now is a great time to buy bitcoin. It’s trading close to its 200-day moving average, which has historically been a good buy point.
take advantage of the opportunities that exist if you have the thoughts and beliefs of bitcoin and please invest and start buying bitcoin to start trading for future profit later
Yes Bitcoin today's date is a very good idea.It is the best option to invest as Bitcoin is a money making machine and we should definitely take advantage of this and it gives huge amounts of returns in a short period of time.Although its value is very volatile and we do not know when will the price rise or fall.People are enrolling themselves in bitcoin because they want to earn profits.Bitcoin is just like an extra income.Bitcoin will again touch new heights in 2018.
250  Economy / Economics / Re: Does this mean Cash will be extinct? on: May 21, 2018, 05:18:34 PM
Eliminating paper fiat will have a measurably negative effect on economies. Paper money represents a more efficient form of transaction than electronic payment. For the poor who can't afford a cell phone or internet connection, paper money is their only hope of buying/selling. Getting rid of paper fiat makes transactions more difficult and also centralizes the currency aspect of economies which leads to monopolism. Centralizing power and influence in this way is strongly correlated with exploitation, predatory business practices and inequality.

Banning paper money will have a measurable negative effect on economic growth, unemployment, inflation, standard of living & other statistics. It will represent lost opportunity, a higher bar to entry for markets, greater difficulty in small businesses surviving and creating jobs. There's no upside or advantage in getting rid of paper money. And there are definitely many disadvantages.
There are countries that could afford to have a cash less society, it means that they have enough equipment and technology that can facilitates such major innovation. Perhaps, it is true in some developed countries, but worldwide, perhaps it is yet too ambitious. Consider countries that are still developing and have struggling economy, it would be so difficult for them to abolish the use of traditional money and force the poor to understand the new financial system. Innovation really takes time and studies to become applicable, perhaps in due time, gradually it may happen.
Cash cannot become extinct even though there are many forms of currencies and technologies developing parallel to it.Cash is used by all the people of the world and the day to day transactions are done by cash only.Cash is accepted internationally and is also backed by central banks and governments as it is centralised.Cash is being used from traditional time period.Cash can be used by anyone and anywhere unlike cryptocurrencies which require internet connection.
251  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can somebody steal your btc? on: May 20, 2018, 06:40:26 PM
Hi, have you ever thought this?

You know that, to import a wallet you need the private key or your seed. Taking as example the private key (the 52 letters key). It could exist the possibility someone create a software whose function was to try thousands of times to find the private key till it is be done.This would be like the process to find the new block in mining, anyway you can try the times you want in order to find it.

I think this could be a weakness, correct me if I am wrong. Smiley

Or comment if you have a kind of solution for this...

Regards!


Of course they can, now a lot of divorced or people with developed thinking is in the computer sphere, but also can steal the state of it and your mistake, so you be careful.
Yes it can happen.There is a high probability that our bitcoin can get stolen.Bitcoin is based on the blockchain technology and if one day it gets hacked then the users can have a big problem.The bitcoin wallet is also not safe because if someone gets access to one's wallet then he or she can tranfer whole of the amount to their wallet.A software can also be developed that can control the bitcoin usage all over the world.Our accounts on bitcoin forum can also get hacked.
252  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the world’s 6th largest currency on: May 20, 2018, 06:18:07 PM
Bitcoin is the world’s 6th largest currency. These figures are noteworthy, but if the value of a single Bitcoin goes up to $15,000, India’s currency Rupee will pass. Ethereum ranked 17th and Bitcoin Cash ranked 20th. Ripple is located just below 20.
How many years Bitcoin will need to become No.1 ?


Great information i wasn't aware about such thing. Really impressive that our bitcoin is in number 6. I was thinking bitcoin is just internet currency and circling around internet. Never expect such thing with bitcoins. It will increase more courage in bitcoin lover and they invite people to invest with it. Anyways i think in future bitcoin will surpass Indian rupees and in 2030 it will be in top on the list.
Yes this is a great news for the users of bitcoin.Bitcoin is gaining a lot of success and it has been doing well from the last nine years though it had seen many ups and downs during this time period.Bitcoin's users are increasing by seeing the profit margin it gives.It is the best option for investment in today's date as its price is rising.In the future it is possible that it can become a global currency and can give competition to fiat system of currency.
253  Economy / Economics / Re: what is the future of virtual currency like bitcoin ? on: May 20, 2018, 06:00:47 PM
As a digital payment system virtual currency has its own reputation. Bitcoin raised as strong virtual currency in 2010. Today’s global currency is developed in different way and comparing with others currency bitcoin is like more valuable than gold. Good reflection and better control system can make more valuable in economic sector. now by the help of bitcoin selling and buying system is easier than other transection. At age of technology we can collect or hire so many proficient worker for the purpose of different sector’s development and then we can provide their salary through bitcoins because of its popularity.
On above this conversation we don’t need to worry about future of  virtual currency or bitcoins.
Bitcoin is bitcoin it grows because people patronize it that's why bitcoin become popular all over the world so I don't think so that there is just like bitcoin that will boom like this. In the virtual world we know that there were a lot of crypto and they have their own strategy to make it popular and well-known.
The future of cryptocurrency  like Bitcoin is safe and secured because the users of these cryptocurrencies are increasing day by day and they are getting very popular.Bitcoin is now getting accepted slowly all around the world.The traders are accepting bitcoins.Some transactions are also been done through bitcoin.People are using bitcoin in their day to day lives.Digitization is going so these are in use more and more.Transactions are also much easier and faster.
254  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is...... on: May 19, 2018, 06:27:13 PM
Bitcoin is my way
Bitcoin is my partner
Bitcoin is my rich
Bitcoin is destination
Bitcoin is my hobby
Bitcoib is my succesfull
In other words bitcoin is such a blessing for us. Through bitcoin we can achieve financial freedom. Bitcoin is very helpful in terms of financial aspects.
correctly. and if I think the bitcoin is a land to earn a very large income and bitcoin also is a very valuable asset that is very promising for all its users
Bitcoin is the money making machine and we should take advantage of it.Even billionaires invest in Bitcoin because they know that Bitcoin give huge amount of profit returns and that too in a short period of time.Bitcoin is like an extra income and if someone has some Bitcoins then he or she can leave his or her life independently.Bitcoin is the most valuable cryptocurrency and is the father of all the cryptocurrencies.All the other cryptocurrencies and altcoins are regulated with respect to Bitcoin only.
255  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin value on: May 18, 2018, 05:42:37 PM
I've just watched the John Oliver show about cryptocurrencies and something struck me about what he said:

 " like most currencies, the fundamental reason that bitcoin has value is that people agree that it has value"

I just want to know your thoughts on this. I only have a little understanding about the idea of currency and its value although i've already been at it all my life. Im new into this kind currency and right now its plumetting.


This statement is quite logical, since if people think something is valuable, then it should grow in price. And while people value bitcoins and invest in it, it will continue to grow.
Bitcoin is the most valuable cryptocurrency in today's date.It is very expensive and not everyone can buy it.When the prices are low people think of buying it then only.Bitcoin value is very volatile and we do not know when will the price of Bitcoin rise or fall. All the other altoins and cryptocurrencies are regulated with respect to Bitcoin only.Bitcoin is the father of all cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is the best option for investment purposes as it gives use amount of profit returns.
256  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long Bitcoin can survive in cryptocurency industry ? on: May 17, 2018, 06:02:35 PM
In my opinion. bitcoin will last for a very long time. as long as internet technology is still available and digital currency enthusiasts more and more will last a long time. and there are still many companies that continue to develop digital currencies so that more and more new coins are circulating in the coin market.
I think that as long as there is an Internet - there will be bitcoin. In the future, bitcoin will become a global online currency and an electronic analogue of gold.
I think bitcoin will survive very long in this cryptocurrency industry.Bitcoin is the topmost cryptocurrency and is very expensive and is the most valuable one.Although bitcoin is banned in some nations but still many people use bitcoin as it gives huge amounts of profit returns in a short period of time.Bitcoin is the number one option for investment purposes in today's date.Bitcoin is a money making machine for all of us and we should take its advantage.
257  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC again Fall down at 7k?! on: May 17, 2018, 04:57:59 PM
BTC price is always pumping and dumping although this is the main magic of crypto market I like this fluctuations. But in this current market BTC is starting to dump again. So I have a question Is this time BTC will fall down again 7k?!

Thats was too low, I think its not that going to happen unless the dump was continuing. actually bitcoin price now was not that unstable like before. It was normal to dump and pump because it was one of the characteristic of bitcoin, being volatile. But we must always be ready for all the possibilties that may happen. So be sure that you wont feel any regret when it fall.
Anything can happen in the market.Bitcoin's price is a bit down now a days and is recovering but not at a faster rate like it did earlier.We do not know when will the price of bitcoin rise or fall as it is very volatile.Last year it almost touched $20000.This year also it is expected that bitcoin will do well.People have faith in bitcoin and that is why people hold back their bitcoins for future price.But we should be ready for the future consequences as anything can happen.

Another plus in favor of the crypto currency was the news that MUFG Bank to test own digital currency.
NHK has learned that the banking unit of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group plans to carry out a large-scale trial of its own digital currency.

The bank plans to conduct the test of what they call MUFG Coin as early as next year in limited areas of Japan. The trial is expected to involve around 100,000 MUFG Bank account holders who apply to take part.

The participants will install an app on their smartphones that converts their deposits into the digital currency. One MUFG coin will be worth 1 yen.

They will be able to use the currency to make payments at places like restaurants, convenience stores and other shops. They can also transfer the currency to the accounts of other participants.

The bank officials will check to see if the settlements are carried out smoothly and in a secure way. For the future, they're considering tie-ups with a wide range of businesses to offer services based on the currency.

I think cryptocurrencies have a great future lying ahead.Many people have now started using cryptocurrencies by seeing the profit margins they give us.They are money making machines for all of us and so we should definitely take advantage of them.Cryptocurrencies are best option in today's date for investment purposes as they give huge amounts of profits and that too in a short period of time.People are now using cryptocurrencies for day to day transactions.
259  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Future predictions about crypto currencies on: May 16, 2018, 05:53:27 PM
My prediction is that very few cruptocurrencies will survive. It's a wild west at the moment and so many scammers are trying to piggyback on the trend and earn money till the dust settles. 90% of current coins will fail in the long term. Plus, when crypto becomes fully regulated, very few coins will be compliant and will have to shut their doors. That's why I only invest in top 10 currencies...it's the safest bet.
There are lots of predictions out there and I know that it is hard to predict the price, but one thing is for sure for me that cryptocurrencies will eventually race in the market that almost people will finally see this as a big change in their life, I cannot predict the price as well but I know it would have a great price.
Future cannot be predicted but I think cryptocurrencies will continue to function in the future by seeing their currenct position in the market.Cryptocurrencies are getting very popular because digitization is going on.Cryptocurrencies are easy to handle and you can store any amounts of these cryptocurrencies in their respective wallets.Transactions through these cryptocurrencies are very easy and fast as compared to normal ones.Their prices are also rising.
260  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin to be used as world currency? on: May 16, 2018, 04:23:45 PM
I do agree that bitcoin cannot replace the fiat currency. The government will not allow any currency that they cannot control to replace their own national currency except if there is economic collapse. But if you notice countries are now making their own cryptocurrency such as Sweden, they are the first country that have launched the first ever government owned cryptocurrency. Soon other countries will follow their footsteps and eventually will  be used by people. But even though bitcoin will not replace traditional money but it will be still used worldwide.
it would be like that bitcoin or other digital currencies can never replace the conventional currency of each country because each country has its own regulation of finance other than that there are still many shortcomings if bitcoin into the world-wide currency.
I think this can happen but not now.Bitcoin is known by only a small percentage of people in the world.Many people do not even know what cryptocurrencies are.Bitcoin requires some basic knowledge to get operated.Moreover it requires internet accessibility which is not available everywhere.Bitcoin is decentralised and that is why it is not backed by any central bank or government.Bitcoin is also very risky as it is very volatile.It is even banned in some nations.
