3801  Economy / Speculation / Re: Where's FOMO at? Tom Lee on: May 22, 2019, 06:30:39 PM
We can’t really be so sure FOMO will be active at $10,000 based on people’s past experience, I am not even so sure that people will still fall much for FOMO except newbies who doesn’t know anything about the last bull run. The only time I expect a rush by now which I would term Panic buy is when bitcoin price drops further to like $4500, if you check the number of people who has been wishing to see that opportunity again, but unfortunately, that opportunity is long gone already.

If bitcoin reaches the price of $10,000, I feel people might start selling off for profit except we have a very big announcement that will make people dare hold on past the value of $10k, otherwise, we might drop to $6k from 10k before we then proceed on the bull lane.
3802  Economy / Speculation / Re: Ways to Raise Prices bitcoin on: May 22, 2019, 05:11:51 PM
In order to raise bitcoin price everyone has to work together and promote bitcoin for what it is and right now that's not happening. Bitcoin price cannot change overnight and we have to understand that it takes time but if we don't do anything to help it then the price is never going to increase. If people are not promoting bitcoin then don't expect companies to start wasting their money in advertising bitcoin.
I think promoting bitcoin is another reason but asides from that to legalize and as acceptable in all countries is a really a best ways, the other ways, if its already indemand. If everyone invest in bitcoin so its possible that the price rise.
In the aspect of promotion, I guess we have all been trying in our own little way, that is why you see so many people speculating, you see people creating tutorials to educate others, friends informing each other and I think this has really taken bitcoin this far, I never knew anything about bitcoin until my neighbor visited me one on one to introduce it to me

I didn’t take it at that point though, because I thought it was a Ponzi scheme, until I saw how long he has been in the cryptocurrency business and how much he has made in the process, hardly would you see any Ponzi scheme last the way biotin had lasted. So I think what we need now to forcefully make bitcoin adoption fats is just regulation.
3803  Economy / Speculation / Re: How far bitcoin will it go this time and why? on: May 22, 2019, 04:24:25 PM
We are all excited that bitcoin started moving forward again. Let's have some discussion here how far bitcoin will go this time.
Come up with your prediction, date when will it reach there and of course with a reason why you think it will reach that point.

$10,000 before end of year
I will keep it quite less until some countries come up with their actual stand on cryptocurrencies. As it will highly impact the market and push it to a new level or pull it to a new low.

See dude first of all, there is no one so much perfect who can really predict the exact price of the Bitcoins.
But i can say you the reason for which the price affects, that's increases or decreases.
So first of all Bitcoin follows the rule of Supply and Demand therefore when the demand is high,  the supply becomes less and it makes the coin more valuable.
For this reason the price of Bitcoin increases.
Hope a little doubt is cleared in your mind.
You are right mate, there is no one that can confidently predict the exact price of bitcoin at any moment, not even TA or FA can do that accurately, because cryptocurrency value follows only the rule of demand and supply as you said.

The only thing we can do to create the demand needed for bitcoin to continue increasing in its value is to first of all spot what contributes to it increase, which one of it is hype, aside institutional investments or retail companies adoptions and many more. We need to learn to always speak what will encourage people to buy bitcoin from time to time, this is one on the strongest tool, that creates demand for bitcoin.

This amount is already too much for me. I respect the choice you made but I'm quite confused with your choice of shift and XEL. I see that you are focused with smaller coins that can potentially grow when the bull triggers. You are good in diversification but have you ever invested elsewhere like real estate?
Not real estate but I have $500k in stocks too.

SHIFT and XEL are very promising projects. I don't buy shitcoins. Very careful about that.
You already have reliable coins, I don’t there are smaller coins that are more reliable than what you have already in your portfolio, so you should just leave them there and continue to watch the market except you are giving up already on their potentials which you already confirm that two of them have very promising projects.

Since you trust them to continue existing and performing, then should not remove your investment, just focus on other things outside the cryptocurrency investment for now, because you know how the market is quite difficult to predict sometime, so it become quite difficult for people to genuinely advise you on a project without shilling their own coin to you.
3805  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Exit Scam on: May 22, 2019, 08:35:34 AM
There are reason's why we need to do intensive research- thus this will happen to our investment..

Please see the article https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2019/05/16/repux-joytoken-ico-exit-scam-8m/
We have a lot of scam in the crypto market and a lot of investors are realizing this already this is why the ICO market is already going down and will still continue to go down until every one move to a better method of crowdfunding which includes IEO or STOs which are regulated by trusted body, though it is possible for scam to come to the IEO market but it would be so easy to detect because this scams can only be carried out by new exchanges.
There is no system that can ever be free of scam, sooner than later, these crowd funding means will still count their own scam too, they must surely be dared by these scammers. The only thing that will make STO own different is that they can easily be caught which still guarantee smart scammers wont doesn’t get away even though their identity is known.

We still need ICO and what we need to do for ICO is to be its security, starting from bounty hunters, most especially, bounty managers, we should only promote trusted and verified projects, there is no method Binance is using for their IEO that project managers too cannot use before engaging bounty hunters, all it requires is a very thorough research to be done.

FOMO is not a good thing for traders, you have to analyze what choices you have to make. You can't follow the trend or what's happening, FOMO is like gambling, because maybe prices will fall after you follow panic buying when prices go up? You can't depend on luck in trading dude.
Rest assured that the opportunity will come if you are smart in research and analyzing by yourself.
Most people would have even used the last experience and a lesson to them, and for the newbies, they would have also learnt from the mistakes shared on this forum that FOMO is really not a good thing to follow. Many people that invested in some coins out of FOMO during the last bull run are still yet to get over their losses because some panic sold when the price was crashing, while those who are yet to sell are still eagerly waiting with tension on when bitcoin will rise back.

So, we should learn not to always follow the hype, we need to be patient and strategically plan our trade using of Technical and Fundamental Analysis strongly to make an entry point in trade.
3807  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Any merchants accepting Zcash in trading ? on: May 21, 2019, 05:39:02 PM
Is there is Any merchants accepting Zcash in trading ?
Merchant and trading, I don’t see any relationship with them, when you talk about merchants, you talk about retail companies that accepts a payment system which I think what you mean is any merchant that accept zcash as payment for goods and services.

At first, you have to look at the nature of the coin itself, is it a utility token and if it is a token that I created generally for people like bitcoin and ethereum, because I have not heard of zcash before and if nay merchant will accept any cryptocurrency as payment at this moment, it will definitely be bitcoin, but I don’t know of the future of zcash.
3808  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Question for more experience traders! on: May 21, 2019, 11:29:33 AM
For those who trade both crypto and stocks. Which market is more predictive and easier to trade?
Firstly, there is no market that is so easy to trade, both crypto trading and stock trading still requires a very strong strategy for you to be able to make best out, but stock market is quite a lot easier to trade.

Reason being that stock market is a fully regulated one, and it is one you cannot just use large amount to manipulate, which is against the law, so it is easier for you to know which direction stock will go using Fundamental analysis, but if we talk about the most profitable trading, it will definitely be crypto, because it has more volatility than stock market.

One single uptrend in crypto could make you a billionaire over night while that of stock trade can only earn you little interest on your trade at once.
3809  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com | The Most Popular Bitcoin Casino | V2 & New games out now! 👽 on: May 21, 2019, 09:06:38 AM
The price of bitcoin has been going up steadily for the past 2 months, I just wish there was a way we could invest into stakes bankroll like some other casinos allow, I know stake has more than enough money to cover themselves and they do not need money at all but think about investing your money into stake for the past 1 year and allowing price to go down and then go up while you are reaping profits in bitcoin and then cashing out after a year of making profits from stake and prices hitting new high, that would have made any man richer right now.

Even without it I am pretty sure using stake as a "wallet" is something common like I do among people, I know its a casino but I rather keep my money here then any other wallet since I trust stake more than most exchanges.

Yeah, it is a marvel how windice suddenly became one of the most known names. Their signature campaign is surely one of the most rare ones we have seen where a new dice website literally became one of the big just thanks to it.

Of course, the website is great and the owners and the support basically everything is great but without marketing and without getting your name out there you can build the greatest website anyone has ever seen but nobody would know. They understood that and they focused on building a good website but than they shifted their whole focus on the marketing side of things with all the promotions and signatures and all that combined made them super famous in absolutely record time, nobody in crypto world ever became this recognizable in this small time.
3811  Economy / Speculation / Re: Anyone here long enough? on: May 21, 2019, 07:35:36 AM
Bitcoin is a currency, I have been around for over 6 years now and I have been doing the same thing for the past decade about any investment I have ever done, not just bitcoin but all of my investments ever. I buy and I hold until I need money. People who get a loan or line of credit whenever they need money are usually people who will have to pay a lot of debt for long periods of time, so instead of getting a loan and crippling my own economy for certain period I cash out my investments.

So, basically I keep my bitcoins (and all altcoins) on my wallet as long as I can without cashing out but if you ever need money for something that it makes sense to cash it out, never cash out for price drops, never cash out for volatile movements, they will always happen, only cash out when you have life urgency stuff that you need money for.
3812  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reaching $7000 so can we confirm the bull run? on: May 18, 2019, 05:53:19 PM
We can't confirm that we're on the bull run period Bitcoin is just still on the process of recovering. It has to go higher before we could confirm that the bull run is really here. However, I belueve that good days are really comming for us since Bitcoin has even reached $8k which is surprising.
The price achieved is not surprising, but the length of time it was achieved, that's surprising.
Prepare for the pull, possible daw, but don't panic, instead by the dip again as eventually bitcoin will rise because of the bull run.
Hahah, I really need to know the point at which we will be okay to satisfy this movement as bull run, because you have said again that we should prepare for the bull run, we have several times we have been confirming bull run, I am sure by the time we get to $9000, some people will still say they are waiting to confirm bull run, I just need to know the exact definition of bull run, not the one different people are busy confirming and nonconforming bull run at every value they see.

To me, I fee bull run is when we started seeing abnormal increase in the price of bitcoin, which started from April because prior to April, we have been very slow in climbing the bitcoin bullish step.
3813  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin and Ethereum Pump's up on: May 18, 2019, 05:06:27 PM
Do you see right now that bitcoin get first pump and same to other altcoins get continuosly pumping up in this month from March to May hopefully its good to hold right now. So tell me what is your strategy?
Well, I don’t have much strategy again other than the strategy I have used before, I already knew that most coins that respond to bitcoin bull run is the ones on the top market cap, so I continue to be a holder of them till market gets to its ATH and about to pull back to the bear Market.

At that point is when I will sell my coins, wait for all the coins to bottom again, and then buy for the next bull run after this. For now, this is how the market will continue to cycle till adoption rate becomes high and bitcoin becomes more used for store of value and for payment of products by retailers and end time users.

https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com/the-godfather-of-crypto-david-chaum-shares-early-access-to-his-elixxir-now-on-ios-and-android/

Cryptographer and cypherpunk David Chaum has been working on a new project coined Elixxir- a messaging and payments platform with the core of the platform focused on privacy. Prelixxir is the preview app to show users the usability and functionality the final product will achieve.


Wow, I can't really wait to check it out and see what it really has to offer to the Crypto community,  whether it has always been just an hype with nothing to offer or it's really a project that is going to cause a change in the Crypto space that will help also in taking the Crypto world mainstream, I just hope for the best in this project and I believe it's something that's going to bring a change in the Crypto community.
This time around, I think this one will really have something to add positively to cryptocurrency world as it is one of its kinds, its project is not that of a popular one for now, even though I am aware that some other project will come and compete with it later in the future.

One good thing why I feel this project won’t grow with hype alone is because they are going to have a real life working projects, coupled with the fact that they have a very highly experienced team members who have been in business for a very long time, so with hype and all these great features that they have, I see this coin really going far in coinmarket cap.
3815  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are bitcoin whales complete morons? on: May 17, 2019, 04:49:35 PM
You think someone sold 3600 bitcoins and didn't bought anything back?

I am 100% certain whoever sold that much bitcoin to dump the price actually bought it back from cheaper and got even more bitcoins. I am not a technical analyst so I can't really say what the support line was at bitstamp during those times but dude could have managed to break the support line go lower and then gathered as much as he can until the next resistance line. That way he guarantees that he is not going to be outbid by anyone since the lines are clear and he can break all of them whenever he wants to with the amount of money he has.

Whales do not become whales for no reason, they are whales because they know how to handle their money very well so whenever you think they did something wrong wait a bit more.
3816  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin Reach $100,000? on: May 17, 2019, 04:09:08 PM
It's okay to be optimistic and to expect the best but I think $100,000 is unrealistic for now. Time will come that Bitcoin could reach that far but it will take time.
Bitcoin needs a massive adoption to exceed beyond $20,000 as it has reached last bull run.
Though Bitcoin is unpredictable, there is still due process and tests that it should surpass before it reaches that high value.
I agree with you that it is unlikely btc will surpass 100k in this bull run that's started. I could always be wrong and hope I am in this case, but in my opinion this run will likely take btc above 20k, may take a bit of time, maybe not, but it seems likely the high point in the bull mkt will fall short of 100k. Will be interesting to see how things play out. Grab the popcorn ^_^
Long term though btc has a pretty good shot at surpassing 100k per btc, as long as the tech keeps being improved, and abjacent systems built out, as well as continuing business use and adoption continue.
Likely people will be phrasing the btc price debate in the times to come in Satoshi's : )
Yes, bitcoin will test $150k too, but any reasonable person will know that there are so many factors that are yet unseeing which might really take a lot of time for that value to become feasible in the market. No matter the forceful push we see, 100K is far fetch from happening now, and just like you said, I believe the bull run spirit we are will see to it that bitcoin gets its value above $20k this time around.

One of the reasons why we will see a major pull back from $20k is because almost half of investors will take their profit has learnt from the past. Majority saw our mistake of not taking profit at $20k till it dumped, so they would not follow that part again, this will be the only history that I am sure will repeat itself again.
3817  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin recover again above $ 8000? on: May 17, 2019, 08:22:04 AM
bitcoin even could rise more than 10k dollars, there were some positive sentiments that made the price of Bitcoin rally.
You only need to be prepared for everything that might happen.
I have been prepared all of this time and I'm just waiting for bitcoin to start getting into that level again. There is more positive movement this time than last year and it encourages everyone that we are on the bull run. More money is getting in on the market now and it is likely that came from the instituions despite of Binance hack last time.
actually bitcoin has entered at a price above $ 8000, it's just that I see that this is still unstable. several times the price of bitcoin touched a price of $ 8300, and then dropped back. I think in the near future, the price of bitcoin will stabilize above that price. now all we have to do is hold back.
Bitcoin has now fallen in price, but it seems that this is its temporary correction. For several days, it held in price above $ 8,000, but today, according to CoinMarketCap, it has dropped to $ 7,134. This is normal for him even during the period of his growth, so after some time we should expect his further growth. Therefore, this year he will definitely overcome the mark of 10,000 dollars, perhaps this will happen even in the near future. True, what will happen next is still quite difficult to say.
I think this correction is needed for bitcoin to gain more momentum, what we have seen from the drop of $8400 to $7200 is, more investors are rushing to catch cheaper price levels. I think I am also of the opinion that next likely value bitcoin might touch from this momentum will be $10,000.

It really takes strong hearts to really deal in this market that is so much full of unpredictable things, some people are still believing strongly that the market will still get a big corrections to $5800 before the big bull run which they could even prove technically, but the point of correction is what is yet to be known, which I am suspecting it to be from $10,000. What do we think?

If you are good for a whole season that means you are a good team, if you are good in one game that means you were on your day. Tottenham and Liverpool could play 7 game series like NBA and I will bet my house on Liverpool getting that cup that way, however when it is only about 1 day that means Liverpool and Tottenham will have to play their hearts out and be the best they could be for that 90 minutes only instead of 40+ games a season with league and Europe and cup and what not.

Tottenham could be on their best performance that day and Liverpool could suck just for that day and everything could change for that 90 minutes. Of course, Liverpool is still clear favorites and will most probably win but this is football and you can't really know what goes on until the last whistle.
3819  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 17, 2019, 05:23:56 AM
Big teams like Barcelona and Madrid do not get players just because they want to play them, they get players because of two reasons. One is they have so much money that they have to spend it on something eventually, they don't think like other clubs to get 10 million dollar Wonderkid that will change their lives or something, they outright give 100 million to hazard and be done with it because they rather do that then actually find stars.

On the other hand they also want the opponents not to have those great players, hazard and griezmann are both great players that should not be on another team and even if you bench him its better he is on your bench then on other teams starting eleven. You can't really deny the fact that these teams can spend 200 million a year and still profit insanely and then not spend money crazily on these players, any one of us would do the same as well.
3820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Gambling Sites to use Bitcoins on: May 17, 2019, 04:48:38 AM
I think they do not even have that much of a great support to be honest with you. They just run their business so well that they have very few issues about them which makes it really not that important on support as well. Less complaints equals less support need.

I am not saying their support is bad, if there is ever an issue their support always figures out the reason and helps the customer right away so that is why they are still great but the difference is they actually do not help that many people per day since there is really not that many issues on that website. So, the customer support on a horrible website has to work overtime and has to find solutions to terrifying issues on some crappy website whereas the stake support is actually lucky to be working on such a dreamy place.
