5141  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So finally it did was not difficult to dethrone bitcoin! on: May 24, 2017, 05:39:11 PM
Is this some kind of conspiracy theory I never heard of? That doesn’t make any sense. I don’t even understand what you are claiming that happened. Nice meme though. If the government is intervening in bitcoin it looks like their doing what we all want! Making the price skyrocket. So no one should be blaming or complaining to anyone.
5142  Economy / Service Discussion / Anybody into 21.co's paid email subscriptions on: May 24, 2017, 05:07:47 PM
I just heard about 21.co's paid email services. They are promoting like we can earn up to $5 for answering to emails. I had experiences of subscribing paid news letters from PTC/GPT sites but this is first type hearing with bitcoin payments that too from reputed 21.co

Any real time reviews ?
5143  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin transaction confirmed within 20 minutes on: May 24, 2017, 04:57:28 PM
OK with all the posts about transactions fees and transaction holds etc .. thought I'd post my experience ..

I have just transferred 2 Bitcoin from my Kraken trading account to my blockchain wallet ... cost of transaction: 0.0005 bitcoin so actual coins received in wallet 1.9995 ... 4 confirmations received within 20 minutes (19 minutes to be exact)

Personally I was expecting maybe a day for the transaction to be completed lol (especially with all the scary posts on the forum) so 20 minutes was pleasantly surprising.
Wow. Good for you! It’s always nice when you are transferring that amount of money for the process to be quick. It always feels a little scary when your money is in the middle of being confirmed but hasn’t been confirmed yet. That is a good time, 20 minutes for that amount too. I would have expected at least an hour too so that is really good!
5144  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do ICO's become so successful in just a few hours!? on: May 24, 2017, 07:31:44 AM
it is mainly greed in my opinion!
most of these projects are simply over-hyped. they use a lot of different techniques to advertise it, and in the end we all see the ICO coin holders sell their coins at the first sign of the coin being listed on an exchange. it seems like this method is the new method of making money which has replaced the pre-mine strategy!

you can call it popularity, or you can call it a good advertising team who knows how to lure people into investing Wink
Yep greed. They are so greedy that they will do anything. Their greed will make them do anything. It doesn’t matter what the consequences are for that extra dollar they will do anything. You can get rich like that but there are of course a lot of side effects. I don’t think they really know what they are doing though because money gotten that easy is not spent well.
5145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Power Usage for Bitcoin on: May 23, 2017, 07:52:50 PM
I really think that there is a future for Bitcoin except that I fear it may crash because of the ever increasing need for power to keep the blockchain going. Is my fear justified?

I am an 81 year old guy who is trying to understand this thing.

Simple for me. If you dont fear the crash then you will not be a good investor or even a trader.
There should always be a doubt with something specially to a new invesment.
That is telling yourself you are wise but you just dont feel it.
Regarding the power usage I think I have read something about natural energy which will provide for the high power needed.
I think if you fear of the things to be crashed then to be very honest you are not someone to be said as investor. Or you are not fit for investment. Those people who are afraid of crash they can’t be good traders. If we look around the world we will find the successful businessmen are those who are risk takers.
5146  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Is GreenAddress(dot)it [BTC Wallet] Safe to use? on: May 23, 2017, 04:09:03 PM
I have heard about them before but haven't used them till now and i would like to suggest you to not trust any web wallets. Use either electrum or simple paper wallet (from bitaddress.org) to store your bitcoins, no any web wallets are safe to hold bitcoin for long term.
Yes, there are so many scams that go on with digital currency that it is really not worth the risk involved. I too would stick with a well known wallet or even an desktop wallet. I have never heard of greenaddress wallet. They could easily steal your coins once you deposit them since they hold the private keys. Then you would be wishing you were just content to pay the transaction fees :-)
5147  Economy / Speculation / Bitcoin will hit $1 million in next 5 to 10 years - PayPal director on: May 23, 2017, 03:58:21 PM
When we came across same types of speculation from forum members, we have ended up arguing "too early".
Still I did read same kind of predictions many times here, probably time frame was different. But now it's time to consider these predictions serious.

5148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Directbet.eu - what seems to be the reason for the site closure? on: May 23, 2017, 12:26:42 PM
One reason I believe is that they thought the price of bitcoins was way too much than anyone expected and if the price by chance drops to $600 odd mark again they already loose 1/3 rd of their capital and hence they played safe and withdraw all. As they mentioned in the pursue of some interests which I cannot think of anything else.
5149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you risk 10 BTC at 80% to get a 1.2x payout? on: May 23, 2017, 08:36:52 AM
Nope, 10 is far too much to be risking even if it were 90% chance, I would hate myself if it didn't work out.
And some people might have a heart attack watching their 20000+ dollars loosing in a single bet because seriously in first place its insane to gamble away 10 BTC for a mere 1 btc. I don't know why people rush for a BTC when they have 10 BTC in their hand already, just invest them smartly and play safe. What's the fun in testing your luck unless it let's you down.
5150  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Creating multiple Poloniex accounts is possible? on: May 23, 2017, 07:00:41 AM
Are you going to use polonoiex accounts as storage wallet for years ? There will be no guarantee that they will be into business when you will come back. One recent example : directbet.eu, they were the market leader in gambling industry, suddenly announced permanent termination of their services.
5151  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will BTC be at $5,000? on: May 22, 2017, 07:51:57 PM
I think it should hit this mark around december or around that because really the growth of bitcoins is getting more and more.
I remember when someone told me that bitcoin's price will reach 10,000$ soon I laughed hard at him and the price that time was around 400$. I think we might see something very big in coming days, seriously where the price will stop the rate it is going now.
5152  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are your site-pairs? on: May 20, 2017, 07:59:43 AM
I believe almost all the crypto traders are maintaining accounts with more than 10 exchanges for various reasons hence trading one single coin on two exchanges are very common among this community.

As I am always withdrawing my capitals immediately after closing my trades so I never bother about down times of an exchange.
5153  Economy / Trading Discussion / Indian markets are leading with ~$400 gap. Arbitrage trading possibilities on: May 20, 2017, 06:15:59 AM
Indian market unocoin sells bitcoins approximately for $2470 and we can sell there for $2380 and bitstamp is right now trading at $1985.
I did see people were arbitrage trading with Korean exchange some times back, now Indian exchange offers similar opportunity. Plan up to gain easy and sure-shot profits.
5154  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Likely to Hit $3,500 This Year, How true is that? on: May 17, 2017, 08:23:17 AM
We can speak all the day about how big bitcoin is and how the price will reach new all time highs in the next few weeks or, we can speak about the same thing while giving solid and valid arguments.
But speculating about the future is more important as it will be helping traders to have some over all idea. Our speculations may come into true when more traders agree.
We do speculate based on some expectation (like SEC will approve ETF), when it will happen traders move forward to push the prices. Sadly vice versa also true.
5155  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price 1800$ on: May 17, 2017, 07:31:45 AM
If bitcoin able reach $ 1700 - 1800 in May, I'm bet that bitcoin will reach $ 2000 before 2018
Especially when I'm see many transaction activity on blockchain
But it is already proven those scalability issues are not stopping bitcoin value appreciation. Because still people are getting their transaction confirmed by paying fees which are still lower then other payment processor like PayPal.
We may see $2000 within this May month too.
5156  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Your Margin trading experience on: May 16, 2017, 05:37:41 PM
I have positive experiences with my margin trading in both crypto and forex as I am very conscious about not waiting for big profits.

Margin trading or leveraged trading may get you more profits for given same amount of capital, but it is not recommended to go with if your trading experience and technical analysis skills are not up to professional mark.
These are seeming some very good points every trader must note down before going for margin trading. I just wonder you are trading like how I am gambling. Yes, I am not greedy while gambling and I close my gambling instantly if I get profits. I yet to experience margin trading, but I believe going with my actual capital will be more than enough for me.
5157  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best alt-coin day trading sites or platforms for day traders? on: May 16, 2017, 11:51:49 AM
Poloniex being one among the best trading platform, but usability is bit harder than livecoin.
By what means you are finding poloniex is harder ? Honestly I am not finding any differences between poliniex and livecoin yet livecoin sometimes shows its socket is disconnected whereas with poliniex I am not finding any such problems.

5159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Is Bitcoin Gambling Industry So Successful in the World? on: May 12, 2017, 02:20:26 PM
Our country doesn't allow gambling and it is illegal . Many people who wanted to gamble but couldn't gamble are now able to gamble because of Bitcoins and stay anonymous . Nobody asks you any questions when you are converting BTC to your local currency and hence its as easy as it gets .
Where in such area where gambling is illegal, there people are playing gambling online, but now the government  is taking another step and going to restrict such site where people are playing gambling online. But I know still people are not going to stop it, they will even find other ways of playing gambling online.
5160  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin UP = Altcoin DOWN on: May 09, 2017, 04:23:15 PM
Bitcoin UP = Altcoin DOWN
But I read there is an DDOS attack on two major altcoin exchanges and traders are rushing to secure their investments. Now a days all altcoins are not trading to obey the rule of maintaining their fiat value as all are growing hence I guess no more we can expect the down fall for altcoins when bitcoin finds up surge.
