3061  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Big news! Coincasso Exchange is now an official partner of PSG! on: January 29, 2020, 03:23:23 PM
Looking at them, it doesn't really look like an exchange that many people know about.

Just on this topic there are many people who never heard about it before and this is the first time they are hearing about it because they partnered with PSG. I would understand the regular world not hearing about an exchange and only know of PSG but even on bitcointalk if people know PSG better than coincasso exchange that kinda hurts their whole sponsorship a bit Cheesy.

In the end they have done something good and this increases the popularity of their exchange, here we are talking about them and many people visited their website as well probably, hell there is probably even more people registered here as well. I am sure they will be very happy about the results of their sponsorship.
3062  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can Ethereum reach the 1400$ mark this year? on: January 29, 2020, 05:11:39 AM
Market never is aggressive until they actually are, doesn't mean it will never be neither. When ethereum or any other coin goes up, it doesn't give you a signal beforehand and let you know a month ago, it happens suddenly and before you know whats going on the price suddenly reaches a new high. That is why price could still be 1400, if until December there won't be anything major going on and in December 2020 the price is still around 150-200 levels and you come up and ask me if the ethereum price could be 1400 that year I would still say yes, sure it will be less possibility of that happening and I get that but I would still say its "possible".

Now, that we still have 11 month of time left that means 1400 dollars is quite possible and I believe it will happen.
3063  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is wasting electricity and are harmful to the environment.. Yea right!!! on: January 29, 2020, 04:28:42 AM
OP is talking about justifying bitcoin mining process by comparing how traditional banking system is awfully destroying green environments but I feel bitcoin's mining process must need a revolution in terms of ecological friendly yet without compromising its security part. POS was a long discussing one to replace the current system but that is not going to happen in my understanding.

Then what are the possible solution against bitcoin mining's environmental issues?
Wasting electricity is not an aspect here but how much heat it will be producing. Because, individuals or separate organisation will bear the cost of electricity and may compensate that with mining rewards. When ASIC companies start following emission control like standards for heat producing then there are possibilities for new level of ASICs to be invented.

This must be an essential thing bitcoin enthusiastic or at least governments must work on regulating mining related things so that in long run we may not harm our beloved nature on our part.

Bitcoin mining industry may grow in million times from what we are having today in coming years hence producing heat due to bitcoin mining may turn as a ecological problem in some perspective unless otherwise mining equipment manufacturing companies will not work on their heat emitting levels.

I'm so sad since yesterday as I can't believe that my childhood hero from basketball Kobe is gone Sad...way too soon. I do hope that Lakers gonna win the title for him this year and also the number 24 on Lakers will be retired for good after this sad accident.

Did someone watched the Australian open from this morning ? Seems that Simona Halep is going to win this year , ain't she ? She looks amazing and her tennis is on another level so I would expect her to hit that final and win it.
Really she played like champion but Medvedev give me some serious shock as I done some big on him in two parlays both gone just because of him all others won now A Barty is going to face Kvitova this is going to be another interesting match.
Simona is great and who knows maybe she will win it all in the end or whatever but I am still in shock that Serena lost already, looking at the rest of the players in the cup right now, I know none of their names, maybe because I don't follow tennis so much but going into the Australian open there was few names I knew like Naomi Osaka but looking at what we have at the top now in rankings, WTA lists Simona above her now and Ashleigh is still at the top and might get to finish this off at the top.
3065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often do you gamble? on: January 28, 2020, 03:16:24 PM
Normally when I find something I would like to play and not because I force myself to play. I used to be a gambler and I was kinda of an addict but nowadays I do not feel like that anymore, I just don't get that feeling of "I have to" anymore and that resulted with less interest towards gambling yet I still know that its something fun to do as well.

So, instead of completely not playing, I just require a lot of entertainment and rush of adrenaline involved for me to play, which only happens if there is something new going on in a place that I normally gamble, any promotion, a bonus, a competition or anything like that, it makes me want to gamble a bit more to get all of that fun again like I used to get. Otherwise, its just a meaningless addiction.
3066  Economy / Speculation / Re: Corona Virus will Impact the price of Bitcoin ? on: January 28, 2020, 11:39:13 AM
You can "sort of" connect them together but at the same time its a really thin stretch if you want to. Sure maybe china is going through something major right now, sure maybe they will have hard time containing it, maybe then it will spread to other nations, that might also affect those nations economies and be a global epidemic which would result with all finances including bitcoin to be affected. Yet do we really think that it will get out of hand that much?

I mean don't we know that corona in itself doesn't have that much contamination all around the world already? China, even tho a horrible nation, will take this under hand right away and will fix all of the problems, all those messages on whatsapp and facebook that tries to spread fear is just old people making stuff up.
3067  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My dream for bitcoin on: January 28, 2020, 08:39:07 AM
Yep, sure that’s most bitcoiners dream, but to be brutally honest I don’t believe these things you have said here are really going to happen, so it doesn’t make any sense at all. The government are not going to allow Bitcoin without any regulation, how do you even expect that to happen?

So, you think the government would just let be doing whatever they want and use money however they want without the government checking what it is being used for and where it’s going to? Dude, that can’t ever happen. If it was possible to happen, sure I would like that, but it will only happen in your dreams.
3068  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Held a bitcoin seminar today on: January 28, 2020, 06:13:26 AM
Lol, you’re not in those images for privacy reasons but you posted others without blurring their faces? Anyway, you still did a good job by teaching them about cryptocurrency. It is not everyone that can do that, a lot of us here can’t do it. I hardly talk to people about cryptocurrency because I am fond of minding my business (and before you ask, I learnt about it myself; sadly no one was there in my places to conduct seminars some 5 years back).

There was someone that said he wants to teach people about Bitcoin for free of cost and he was going to rent about three rooms. I told him to do a similar thing as you have done, to just host a seminar and maybe rent a hall or if he can get a place for free, but he never turned back for personal reasons. It is my long term agenda to conduct seminars on cryptos for young generations but for various reasons, we are forced to delay; still in plans only.
3069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2019/20 on: January 27, 2020, 04:07:38 PM
Real Madrid better not drop the ball on this one, they have been following Barça for months now and they are finally one game above, sure Atlhetico is a great team and they can play very well too but at the same time if Madrid loses or even ties that could lead to Barça getting back on top eventually, so they have to take advantage of the momentum they have right now and make it count.

Not like Real Madrid is not capable of that neither, we are talking about Athletico like "they may do anything" but in reality lets face it Real is the real favorites here with potentially even destroying with the amount of talent they have, we are not talking about the biggest possibility, we are talking about the off-chance what could happen here. Real will probably get this like 2-0 or 3-0 if you ask me.
3070  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC Futures Manipulation on: January 27, 2020, 10:49:52 AM
I agree that if its illegal or not depends on the country you are in as well, I mean some countries don't care about bitcoin at all but they do care about billion dollars going out of their own pockets (money leaving nation) so in the end you might be in trouble. Everyone is forgetting how many bitcoins or billions required to change bitcoin enough to make profit.

Like you would need "red alert" level of money to do this, no nation in the whole world would allow you to play with one billion dollars, they will ask you where that money is or what are you doing with that money. The idea at the same level could apply to a low level altcoin for example, you can pump and dump an altcoin and nobody would mind, hell people have been doing that for years now and nothing happened, however for bitcoin that is impossible.
3071  Economy / Speculation / Re: What Will Be The Price of Bitcoin After Halving This Year In 2020? Will It I on: January 27, 2020, 05:33:25 AM
We have talked about this long and hard by now, everyone gave their opinions on what will happen and honestly the reality is that if people think bitcoin will go up, it will go up. Do not forget that the only thing that makes bitcoin go up is people buying it more than they sell it, if there is a lot of fiat going in to buy bitcoin but not same amount going out, that means price will go up, there is no sales, no debt, no profits, no constitutional ownership, this is not a stock of a company, if you buy bitcoin you increase the price.

So, if people think halving will cause the price to go up and buy it, they will directly cause it to go up anyway. If we are going to discuss affects of halving on miners, sure they will lose some profits but it doesn't need to be $15k to make up for it, even $10k is more than enough for then to make a good profit.
3072  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which Crypto Should I Invest In 2020 ? on: January 27, 2020, 04:44:59 AM
If you are really bullish on dapps, I would suggest checking out EOS as well, it is liked by Chinese people and even Chinese government as well plus it is a huge dapp opportunity as well, in 2019 they even had a trouble with clogging on their transactions for how much EOS was sent and received because of dapps as well, which in hindsight is not good and should scale bigger however at least shows some interest.

Tron is great on that issue as well but the owner is not really loved by many even tho coin is really respected by itself. Ethereum on the other hand is a whole another topic, you can like it because of dapps and its true that there are plenty of dapps around ethereum but they will also have a hard fork this year which could potentially increase the price a lot as well.
3073  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How Can A Trader in this Business Protect Themselves Against Volatility Risk? on: January 26, 2020, 01:44:04 PM
Have you ever considered the possibility that, trader may not make those trades? I mean simply to say a trader may make trades that would lose him money is simply saying like, "maybe I don't want to make a profit?" , doesn't make any sense.

Yes, maybe that trader had something urgent and had to cash out his money, which I would understand, but why would any trader sell on purpose to make a loss? They simply wait longer, if they have 1 btc and 10k, they simply just get it when it is cheap and do not sell until they make a profit, that way they know there is no way they can lose money, they can only lose time. Even the damn miners who mine coin and sell the costs, keep the rest of the profit in bitcoin just to make more money when bitcoin goes higher, we are in that kind of market, waiting is crucial.
3074  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are the general issues/problems do traders or investors usually face during on: January 26, 2020, 05:59:38 AM
Volatility could be one of the biggest things we face and I agree with that. If you asked me about the "biggest" tho I would probably say finding the time to deal with it honestly. It is not an easy task to be a crypto trader, you have to actually be a full time trader to give it so much time that it needs, if you are a part time trader it is really not something you can do with such little time.

Please correct me if I am wrong, there are "investors" who are part time and there are even few "part-time day traders" going around however unless you are full-time crypto day trader, you are not giving it all you can and could miss out on many things. That is why I think giving 16 hours a day towards trading should be considered a day trader, if you are looking at it maybe one hour a day, that is not really too much trading to do unless you suddenly catch a great moment at the same time.
3075  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrencies have won with court in India – for how long? on: January 26, 2020, 02:47:33 AM
The reason bitcoin usually gets to be banned or deemed illegal is not because people can do bad things with it, usually its because you can't easily catch people who do bad things so easily.

Just to give an example, if you are a drug dealer who sells drugs for dollars, you can't put that money into a bank easily, you have to launder that money or just keep it in cash and so forth, however if you do with crypto you can sell it and withdraw it to your bank account and maybe no one can catch it. That is why governments are suspicious of bitcoin in general for the anonymous parts of bitcoin and not what it can be used for. They have absolutely nothing wrong with people buying and selling to make more money, that part of bitcoin is totally fine with them, but they have no clue what they should do if its used for bad stuff unlike fiat.
3076  Economy / Economics / Re: Goverments creating digital currencies - Threat or Opportunity? on: January 25, 2020, 11:57:12 PM
I have always pointed out that if they do it legit and without anything shady, this should bring in a lot of money to crypto world and that is why I welcome it. On top of that we are talking about adoption as well, the more nations go into crypto world via stablecoins, the more adoption rate will go up as well. You really think a nation like China that is basically ruled by CCP in a dictatorship would ever build their own stablecoins and wouldn't accept that as payment? All the government places will probably slowly start to adopt to Chinese stablecoin.

Now they are also a huge country as well, probably biggest economic country in the world (recent years say they are bigger than even USA), when they do something like this, I am sure many nations will follow and that will increase adoption even further.
3077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 25, 2020, 05:27:18 PM
Haaland surely made himself known and proved that Dortmund will not be the last place he will play, dude is going places and certainly has a jersey saved aside for him in few years (or maybe even quicker) on some champions league contender like Madrid, Juventus, Liverpool or whoever else at the top wants him.

Emre Can deal seems like didn't went through, I mean he is still expected to leave the club and he wasn't even registered to champions league squad with all this much injuries around his position, yet he is still in Juventus and it is talked in behind the closed doors that maybe Juventus just didn't liked Dortmunds offer? I don't really know what was the details of the deal but at the same time it looked like Juventus just didn't want Emre Can period, didn't know they were looking for a good offer as well.
3078  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons to be bullish on BitcoinSV on: January 25, 2020, 04:38:55 PM
Let me explain you why it won't work ; it is owned by Craig Wright. Literally no other reason required to not trust BSV and why you should stay away from it. You can disagree with me, you can like him, but that doesn't change the fact that we are talking about a coin that has such a low liquidity that one big pump would take it over 100%+ and then dump it afterwards when everyone realizes and sells their coins.

On top of everything else, even the things you list are not really reasons to be bullish, who said we want to be government complaint, governments are the real reason why we moved away from Fiat and moved to crypto, who said we want to be part of the establishment, establishment is the reason why there is such a big gap between rich and poor, why would anyone think only coin out there that can have apps is BSV?

I can talk about all others but seriously, if you are brainwashed to like some fake phony dudes coin, there is no saving you. Also don't be against improvements, Bitcoin may not be like it is original protocol but that suppose to happen, we need to keep improving as in anything in life.
3079  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Pyramid Schemes are still Amongst Us on: January 25, 2020, 07:43:44 AM
Unfortunately, there will still be people who fall for both pyramid and ponzi schemes because none of them go out and tell you that they are ponzi or pyramid. Now I have never been a victim of any of them because I do not have any money to invest but if I did I would probably fall for one of them as well. They disguise their system as a legit business and explain to you how they are not pyramid as well, first red flag is if a place has to explain to you why they are not a pyramid scheme they are most definitely a pyramid scheme.

Ponzi is different, it could very well be a legit business that continues forever as long as they could find more and more money, hell I think wall street is a big huge ponzi for example and people still believe them, the ponzi that is bad is the one that can't find money. When wall street did a ponzi scheme, they got bailed out by the government, other ponzis do not get bail out, that is their difference from wall street.
3080  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin & Its Momentum on: January 25, 2020, 06:55:50 AM
Resistance is basically nothing as long as bitcoin wants to go up, resistance is only levels where it asks us if we want to break it or not. We have literally seen bitcoin move from $3k to $14k just last year, it hasn't been even a full year since we made that jump, you think there was no resistance between those prices? There was nothing that could potentially stop us?

We can break any resistance easily as long as we want to, if we think bitcoin is going up we both destroy the resistance ahead and most of the time people remove their orders as well so the resistance gets weaker both by buy orders and cancelled orders at the same time. What we need to focus is not "how bitcoin can go up" but more like "why bitcoin should go up" because if you give people a good reason, they will follow it.
