Last three months of the Year 2019 (4th quarter)is fast approaching! Do you think the market condition will be improve in the last three months of the year! are you still positive that the market will be gaining momentum to return its former status as it was before or just missing all the prediction in this year. drop your insight below!
From now onwards I foresee BTC gradually going down along with all the Alts, by the end of 2019 we might breach the 5K barrier! I expect it to moon again in the first half of 2020. |

Hi,
I wanted to start a thread on dividend producing crypto's. Please list yours and don't worry about being labeled "shilling" because we want to do our own research.
The more the better and collectively we can determine the good ones from the bad ones. Even shit coins can make all of us money.
Thank you.
Its rather surprising that no one is talking about the only coin that has 10 years solid history of positive returns  BTC is the safest bet in this market, yes it goes down sometimes but you are best assured that after every dip it moons. Show me a coin that has gone from 3k to 13k in a space of 6 months and I will show you BTC! |

Reasons why i prefer mining coins than investing a dime on IEO/ICO projects
1. My profits is assured.
I dont have to wait for a project to do x3 or whatsoever to get profits on my invested cash,with better mining rigs and good calculator you will know when your ROI will come.
2. No worries of getting scammed
I dont have to investigate an exchange before investing or wasting time doing research on projects before investing,all i do is mine ETH and sell for fiat or decides to hold for a little while.
What you do not mention is that mining is capital intensive, the money needed to start up a profitable mining rig is beyond the rich of many whereas one can start investing/trading with little and build on it. Most who come from countries where electricity is too expensive or where supply is unreliable know that mining is not an option but trading can be done even from a mobile device. |

The easiest way to detect if something is real money or fake money is to check whether it can perform the primary function of money, which is to act as a means by which parties exchange goods and services in the market. Real money is capable of performing this function, while fake money is not.
Your line of thinking is some kinda wrong because you are basing your whole argument on the premise that money is real! Well, it's not, at least the USD which you allude to by referencing the Federal Reserve is not... Yes, it's true, BTC is not backed by anything other than the faith placed squarely on it by the fools who buy it and the faith exercised by the even greater fools who buy it from those lesser fools. Yes BTC might as well be just numbers in cyberspace, a mirage. All this is true. What is also true but less palatable to comprehend is that the U.S. dollars that are issued by the Fed that you made reference to are likewise an illusion. They too consist mainly of numbers that are also just domicile in the cyberspace. Sometimes they’re stored in paper or coins, but while the paper and coins are material, the dollars they represent are not. U.S. dollars are not backed by anything other than the faith of the fools who accept it as payment and of other fools who agree in turn to accept it as payment from them. The main difference between BTC and the USD is that, for the moment at least, the illusion, in the case of dollars, is more widely, more fiercely believed and I might add vehemently defended by the same fools who accept it as payment and the greater fools who agree in turn to accept it as payment. |

bitcoin is being used in so many places throughout the world but it can be so much more. It's obvious that there are so many freelancers in every country. Firms, companies, startups etc.. have a limitation that they can hire freelancers only from their country since they can pay them only in their native currency to avoid hassle of exchange. But if firms, companies, startups etc.. start using bitcoin as a payment method to hire freelancers then there will be so many opportunities for the freelancers since they can get work from anywhere in the world. I don't know why has this not become a huge thing until now. This could really change the life of freelancers and give a better end result/product to the company they are working for.
As compared to what's already there..Paypal etc BTC is quite volatile and this means that in most cases the freelancer gets less than what was initially quoted and agreed on. Also in most countries, it is difficult to change BTC back to fiat if not illegal, remember countries like India are said to be crafting laws that will make trading in crypto punishable by death. Its also sad that such countries where the use of crypto is not encouraged by the establishment are homes to the biggest numbers of freelancers. For now I do not think BTC is the answer to the Gig Economy until maybe a more stable crytocurrency is introduced. |

China is all set to launch its own crypto currency for more than 1 billion of its population how will it effect the crypto market ?
If they go ahead with their coin, its likely going to be a stable coin like Facebook's Libra. Its effect on the crypto market is not something that we can understate because its likely going to bring crypto to the mainstream everywhere else in the globe. The Chinese coin is likely going to ride on the success of WeChat which already is a major payment gateway in China and given that the coin will be state-backed in a closed dictatorship kind of society scale and adoption will be fast. 1 billion people are no joke when they come onboard as users. |

Africa is a developing continent, and despite the world leading search interest for cryptos, the continent still lags behind the rest of the globe in everyday cryptocurrency use and adoption. The continent is home to over 50 percent of the world’s mobile money services, but while the use of internet has risen exponentially in the past twenty years, users from Africa account for just ten percent of the global total. I can personally attest to the challenge of internet connections across Africa. The connection is either poor, slow or even non-existent at times. At times, accessing internet on your handset for the mere purpose of communicating with people or even carrying out transactions becomes a challenge, and this is one of the reasons why most people in Africa are not as enthusiastic about cryptocurrencies. Some governments have been skeptical and reserved and, in some cases, unreceptive to the use of digital currencies. Countries such as Zimbabwe and Namibia have reportedly begun with a hard stance, and in Kenya, the central bank of Kenya has restricted the use of digital currencies because of their unregulated nature. Nigeria’s Central Bank has rejected the use of cryptocurrencies claiming that its citizens will be at risk of fraudulent schemes, but it is yet to release a whitepaper on their take. https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2019-04-08-blockchain-and-cryptocurrency-regulation-in-africa/Another factor that holds back cryptocurrency use in Africa is that very often you will see Initial Coin Offerings targeting countries from literally all other continents BUT Africa. In cases where African countries are receptive to the idea of digital currency, most governments are slow with its adoption mainly because they fear for their young citizens or due to the crop of old leaders who cannot picture a future without paper cash. https://www.africa.com/cryptocurrency-regulation-africa-slowly-picking-up-the-pace/Adoption of cryptocurrencies is a work in progress for most African nations, but with time it could become the most used method of payment. I live for that day!For a number of years now news to do with Bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrencies in Africa have been greeted by widespread fears and skepticism. This has been perpetuated by the possibilities that virtual currencies can be manipulated towards crime, tax evasion and money laundering. However, as more information is beginning to filter through African communities as well as the availability of testimonial enlightenment being administered by those who dared to try cryptocurrencies to their peers, more people are increasingly embracing cryptocurrencies. The continued collapse and institutional abuse of weak fiat currencies in a number of countries have also assisted the rise of blockchain based currencies as people are trying to preserve the value of their wealth and earnings. In short, some of the barriers ahead of Crypto in Africa include: - Internet Connectivity issues - Lower literacy levels in some countries - Internal conflicts (civil wars, coups, revolutions, etc.). - Low-income levels |

I think bounties being held by IEO conducting projects are worth a try as you are kind of assured of something when you get paid ad the token will be already be listed on an exchange and trading. The only downside is that the bounty tokens are paid a month or so after the IEO has concluded so there is some risk of getting the token when the price bull run has already subsided.

Funny, strange but yet so real, right?
So if one dies, all the money will get stacked on blockchain and exchanges?
I have about 90% of my funds in crypto and was just wondering over the above?
If you tell your wife, she might kill you and enjoy it with the boyfriend lol &
Hahaha yh and you can't trust even your family....
If they don't kill you probably because they are good siblings...once they know you have much, demand will go high lol
Many will say why not write a will, why not tell a friend etc..
But one needs to do this, I know we all might have our opinions, let's share and see if we can come to a uniform and decentralized solution....
I have written a medium post published by The Startup on this topic before here https://medium.com/swlh/who-gets-control-of-your-crypto-assets-after-you-die-766b84da361dYou could make a list of your total current holdings, where they’re held (wallets, exchanges, etc) and the current value and yes do this privately. As for keeping coins on exchange, its not advisable to store funds on exchange for long intervals. The undiluted truth is that if you don’t own the private keys then you do not have control. Funds on exchange should just be for transactions. It is important to plan around what kinds of storage you’re currently using. What do you like about it? What’s not working for you? How could it be better? Could your heirs access your storage devices and/or passwords if needed?.By using a hardware wallet or a paper wallet, or some other safer means to store your private keys, you can ensure that family has access to it. Decide who gets what? Do you want one person to inherit all of your crypto? If you want more than one person or organization to get a share, use percentages instead of hard values (10% not 10 Bitcoin). Also consider the following questions in your planning; Do your heirs understand this technology? Can they create and provide their own addresses for transfer? Or will the assets be liquidated to fiat currency that will be distributed to your heirs?Who will help your heirs through the process? It might be helpful if you could take your take time to enlighten your relatives on what bitcoin/blockchain technology is all about, how to access crypto wallets and how to move the funds.This would help them when you’re gone because they wont have to over-rely on third parties to access their inheritance as there is a risk of being cheated in the process. Then lastly, store backups. Store your backups in geographically-diverse, secure, access-controlled locations. I would use facilities such as bank vaults (most banks offer safer custody facilities for such matters), safes at home, and/or attorneys or accountants. |

Cryptocurrencies could be the saviour to African, as many currencies across the continent have suffered never known before levels of instability for years, with a slight sign of improvement. Let’s look at the South African Rand, which suffered its biggest drop in a decade in October. The biggest example, however, is Zimbabwe which has continually suffered hyperinflation and even at some point, a simple loaf of bread cost more than ten million Zimbabwean dollars, sad, right? https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/south-african-currency-rand-drops-2018/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-45822166Africans are frustrated by declines in currencies and the option they are turning to is none other than cryptocurrencies as a financial alternative. Bitcoin, being the most common, has tumbled in price but the people are still resilient. This cryptocurrency craze poses a chance for the unbanked to access financial services and experience economic freedom. Given that Sub-Saharan Africa has the second-highest population of unbanked adults in the world, the cryptocurrency option could potentially revolutionize the entire African economy by targeting such individuals. Economic freedom is what everyone desires ultimately. https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-payment-firm-volume-of-transactions-in-africa-has-risen-130-percent-in-2018A poor internet connection and access in Africa could potentially slow down the growth of cryptocurrencies in Africa. Governments have a lot to do to make sure the continent will benefit from the fourth industrial revolution. It would be such a shame for a continent of 1.2 billion to not have the necessary infrastructure and technical knowledge to allow virtual money to flourish unrestrained. https://news.bitcoin.com/poor-internet-access-could-slow-down-cryptocurrency-growth-in-africa/Another factor that slows down adoption is regulations from some governments to the use of blockchain and cryptocurrencies in Africa. But despite the above-mentioned factors, the general population has absolutely no know-how on how to go about cryptocurrency exchanges. A small percentage of the population in my country, for instance, knows what Bitcoin is - We have several meet-ups Such as Bitcoin Kenya https://www.meetup.com/Kenya-Bitcoin/ with over 800 members meeting regularly - We try our best to educate our community on blockchain technology and its endless possibilities. Yes, cryptocurrencies could play a part in Africa's economic success but it is important to note that cryptocurrencies are not miracle workers! While they can make trade smooth and help to mitigate hyperinflationary pressures, they won't fix corrupt and repressive governments. It's a well-known fact that the problems with the South African rand stem from the ANC and Ramaphosa's vote-buying issues and the whole public protector debacle while in the same vein Zimbabwe has a corrupt, incompetent government that lacks legitimacy as it came into power via the 14 November coup and the disputed 31 July elections. Those problems are heavily affecting these economies and do not need crypto to fix but political will and reforms. |

My attitude is - no way!!
I don't use Facebook, and I don't like their lack of privacy and security. They seem to be talking about pegging the coin to a bunch of fiat currencies, and that is another big disincentive for me. I suspect we will start to see some government or banking based cryptos, and I'll probably end up using a couple of those alongside Bitcoin.
What if you happen to write something that Mark doesnt agree with? They now have a way to put you in a naughty conner that could also hurt your pocket, they could just freeze you Libra wallet! What if you share the same name with a terrorist who has just bombed the US? Stay away from that shit! |

List of people to blame for the extinction of humanity.
These are all the presidents who have $old us out to $lavery, we trade our limited time, good and services for a unlimited $cam because of them.
Richard Nixon
Barack Obama
Donald Trump
George W. Bush
Bill Clinton
George H. W. Bush
Ronald Reagan
Jimmy Carter
Gerald Ford
These are all men who can create food, water and shelters for everyone, with backups in case of natural disasters. Instead they buy themselves yachts and increase product cost to the working class. These are all men who could have a voice and say something about the unlimited printing of money, which makes all of us $laves and don`t because it benefits them.
Jeff Bezos
Bill Gates
Warren Buffett
Bernard Arnault
Carlos Slim Helu
Amancio Ortega
Larry Ellison
Mark Zuckerberg
END THE FED, CREATE DURATION MONEY, LOOK AT MY POST AND WE CAN FIX THIS SHIT SYSTEM AND NO ONE NEEDS TO DIE
Spoiler: We live inside of a VR simulation that AI created when our planet blew up 500 trillion years ago it recreated everything. It is not artificial intelligence anymore. We are more artificial than it.
We could add your name to this list as well while we are at it! How can 20 people be responsible for the extinction of the human race??? Have we lost and given up control of our lives to such an extent that we relegate our continued existence to a social network founder such as Zuckerberg? If humanity goes extinct we are all responsible for it not just a list of 20 people out of 7 billion! |

This is regarding the views and opportunities that Indian economy can get through crypto currency looking at the current scenario of India being entering into "Recession period". This period is thought to be coming because of introduction of Demonetisation in 2017-2018 and followed by introduction of GST into the system. (Referred article https://www.indiatoday.in/news-analysis/story/it-is-not-recession-economy-is-growing-but-at-slower-pace-question-is-why-1594928-2019-09-03)Overlooking all these scenario I do believe that they should have gone for the Crypto currency acceptance and make the digitalisation more or less stronger than what they would have done earlier. (Demonetisation etc.?? ) I mean crypto could have at least made the influx of money by different platforms of trading, gambling, exchange of products and services etc. The whole process would ave benefited them with the Tax and thus government could've gotten the benefits for the same. What are the thoughts ? Crypto would do good for any country especially a developing one like India but the truth of the matter is that its very unlikely to happen in the near future as India is not only pushing for a crypto ban but to make trading punishable by a lengthy jail sentence or death from what I have read. |

It depends on the type of disaster and the areas and types of infrastructure affected, for example a disaster that affects crucial infrastructure such as electricity in areas where BTC mining is prevalent such as China, Russia or Siberia would be devastating for BTC as there could be a shortage of miners meaning that transactions will move at a slower speed.

Big companies have always risen in history and the answer has not been to break them up but let time to deal with them. There were bigger companies such as the East-India company that was a huge monster but nolonger exist today. Leave them to time and nature will take its course because if you try to break them up usually the vacuum is taken up by another soon after.

What would the process look like?
If I registered a business name and then got some business loans to buy more coin. It would be a HODL business. Or a boutique crypto investment firm. I just want that loan to buy and hold onto a bunch of coin and watch it soar. There would eventually be a legit service to offer through the business but at first I just want a giant loan to buy a bunch of bitcoin.
Sound idea? Yes or no
Ever heard of ponzi schemes? This is how they usually start! What happens when you lose your loan money when the market goes down? You will probably look for another source to cover the repayment costs of the loan, then another and another until a 'scheme' starts to run. The most important question to answer when you start a business is"What problem do you want to solve?" Answer that and your. Business will have a stronger foundation. |

The market seems more settled now as compared to 2018 as there is now a clear distinction between BTC and the Alternative coins and tokens, the shitty ones seem to have sunk into oblivion and the ones that remain have finally moved within their real price range. BTC will remain undefeated as it has withstood the test of time.

I want to publish Press Release on crypto websites like:- BBC, Bloomberg, Coindesk, Cointelegraph, CNBC etc and I also want to create a page on Wikipedia but I will make payment after the approval of page.
For what you want payment will have to be paid upfront and the links and emails for contact are readily available on their contact sections of their webpages. I don't think its possible to advertise on wikipedia though! |
