The price change has certainly boosted up than last month but bitcoin has always shown volatile price with changes upto 10% a normal.
Bitcoin did reached over $10K+ and stayed there for quite a time before the correction started. And with a halving approaching, we would see a increased amount of price fluctuation oriented for a rise.
1582  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Saving your private key in your email is a lethal move on: January 08, 2020, 04:12:34 PM
Well I would not have made this post not until this week I have a cryptocurrency community on social media(telegram) we doing my own bit to enlighten and empower those I can.
We tell them about cryptocurrency wallet and how they go about it well I made it clear to them never to screenshot there private keys but rather write it down and put it away in a place safe.

But it's has occurred more times where private keys where written, sent and saved on some of my students emails...

Well this has huge consequences. I would want to reach out to the noobs never improvise instructions are instructions when creating a wallet you are told to write your private keys down(not on email or on your device).
Your email can not key your private key safe it's still could be hacked and the information collected.

 It's basic instructions and rules when over looked causes damages.

I Know I shouldn't. But my online life and lifestyle is totally depended on google and it's ecosystem. Every of my device syncs through my google account and in one way or other, my key details and even the private keys, passwords and 2FA secret codes are stored online. I can't just stay in a place or use a single device, there's no other option than living in a cloud. I don't prefer mobile OTP verification as I don't trust my government.
1583  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can ISIS resurrect after great fighter against ISIS was assassinated? on: January 08, 2020, 03:49:20 PM
I don't think so! The defeat of ISIS was mostly due to the collaborative efforts of coalition forces spearheaded by USA excluding that of Iran's militias headed by the late Soleimani and even without their help, I think ISIS was already doomed to collapse.

But it did not collapse. My question is what will next few years bring. Can they resurrect to their previous power?

ISIS is not a new idea at all. It's an ideology that Sunni are the real muslims and they should rule all over the world. It started as Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad lead by Al-Zarqawi.
Even Osama Bin Laden was not a fan of their ideology.
ISIS is extremist part of Islam and most of the Islamic people are not if favor of them. There are just a few terrorist nation that funds ISIS and It would not be destroyed until these governments change.

1584  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Public vs. Private Blockchain, which is better? on: January 08, 2020, 12:04:15 PM
There's not much difference at the moment between a public and private blockchain as almost all of the modern blockchains are controlled by a few person or a small group of person and institutions. Private blockchain has the advantages of quick changes hence making it fit for the changing market while public blockchain like bitcoin needs to have consensus from a large group of people.
1585  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price on Chinese New Year on: January 08, 2020, 11:57:04 AM
Chinese Lunar new year is the largest festival in the world by volume. And it's not just limited to china. This festival also marks the end of festive seasons around the world. Bitcoin always had a struggling price in Dec and Jan until the Chinese new year. And after that it's generally a correcting market. The ingredients are right till now for a bull run in 2020.
1586  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Qatar Bans CryptoCurrency on: January 07, 2020, 04:46:53 PM
Qatar has restricted itself from its neighboring countries (they had embargoed Qatar anyway) and this could be the move to further restrict the move of capital to and from these countries. Qatar has been a crypto neutral country in the past and I really hope they come up with some form of regulation to better use crypto than putting a blanket ban.
1587  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why is Iran obsessed with nuclear energy and isn't seeking renwable energy? on: January 07, 2020, 04:01:08 PM
The real reason why Iran wan't nuclear energy is most of the rival nation of Iran has it. Weapons are not only for aggression, they are also a defense strategy.
The whole world was used to be bullied by 2 superpowers in the past and they didn't wanted others to match their power. That's why they restricted others from gaining nuclear power and weapons. Even today you need to take sides to survive. But there are many regional powers that has rose to the level of superpowers. The Europe and most of the world is still divided into Russian and American lobby, but the regional power of China and India are also not ignorable.

Stanford grads find a way to mine on a cell phone.
500K+ downloads. Protected Google app.
Earn everyday.
weminepi.com

Pi too is not an actual mining. It's a mining simulation and Pi is still not a coin with blockchain or even a token. The team is creating the hype before launching their token. They are enforcing users with KYC for getting the launched tokens in the past. It might be to avoid users with multiple IDs getting rewarded but it also would be risky to give your KYC to someone for that small amount of coin value.
1589  Economy / Speculation / Re: Now that we touched $8,000, what's next? on: January 07, 2020, 12:36:10 PM
It's a good start for the year and may still be the best time to buy bitcoin before the bull. This is basically the correction of last dump and we would see the price rising in the months of March, April and May. I don't expect the price to reach $10K before March as the market has too many resistance around that price.

Who benefits most from $400m in US Milt. Aid to UA rebels in Crimea?  Russia.

Russia benefits the least when the country they are invading (Ukraine) receives military support.

Ukraine benefits the most.  US and allies also benefit.  This isn't a new thing, we've been supporting Ukraine for years, when Russia invaded Crimea the aid increased.  

For Trump to piss off Putin regarding UA/Crimea he needs something BIG in return and so does Putin.  

Congress controls the money, not the Executive branch (Trump).  At least thats what's in the constitution.  The reason Ukraine has support from the west is to encourage democracy and discourage Putin from invading other countries.

The funny side is the Ukraine and Russia were always on the same side. Russia wanted Crimea and warm black sea and it was difficult for Ukraine to just let Russia take it.
They made a strategy, made US fund for Ukraine to fight against separatist sponsored by Russia.
And in the end, Russia keeps crimea, Donbass and Luhanks goes to Ukraine. Ukraine doesn't join NATO. Russia and Ukraine has open border and trade.
1591  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Survey: At What Price would you stop investing more money into Bitcoin ??? on: January 06, 2020, 03:29:28 PM
$8K has been my no more buying limit for now. This may change in the future but I made some good profit with this formula in the last 6 months. I buy below $8K and sell above $10K. I take 25% of my total savings from monthly salary and convert them to bitcoin and when I sell them, it directly goes to my saving and the new bitcoins are bought again with former formula.
1592  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why only 6.2 percent of American citizens own Bitcoin? on: January 06, 2020, 03:26:53 PM
6.2% of US citizen is a huge population. Compare it with the 84% total that uses internet.
Public internet is here for 30 years while Bitcoin is here for just last 10 years. Crypto is one of the fastest growing tech of this century.
And with current rate of rise of bitcoin ownership, bitcoin would soon have a price boost that would attract even more people towards it.

He's not wrong afterall. He's a crypto joker. We need such kind of people to get attention toward crypto. Though the attention might not be always healthy or fruitful.
Mcaffe is getting old and has less and less to get covered in news. That's why he goes for such absurd claims.
1594  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What is the prospect of BAT in 2020? on: January 05, 2020, 12:58:41 PM
BAT = Basic Attention Token, the native token for Brave Browser.

BAT is too much depended on the success of the brave as a browser and though brave has improved in lot last year, it now needs to compete with other similar products aiming to tap the advertising market. There are other advertising tokens that are not just browser specific and original advertising players are also thinking of moving towards reward systems. It would make 2020 a challenging year for BAT.

Having sex without a consent is a rape, no doubt on that.
But this decisions is about the age of valid consent. Child cannot think for their physical health and are easily influenced by many things. The consent given by a child is not considered a valid consent and a sex with a child with consent is a rape.
The laws differs on the age of child from when they can give consent for the sex.
The most accepted age of child is the UNCRC definition of 18 years. But in modern times, the children are found to be sexually active from a younger age hence, different countries have made different tiers of age for sentence of child sexual abuse.
1596  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trump does an Obama Trick, and Twitter has pronounced it as World War III on: January 05, 2020, 07:50:53 AM
Trump can't go on a full fledged attack on Iran now and neither could Iran. Both of them can't afford that now.
The terms of US with it's key allies are at lowest and its hard for him to get support from Europe and Turkey. Saudi would gladly join on a war against Iran but Iran is not as easy as Iraq to get defeated. There are no allies of Iran that would support attacking on US. Engaging against US would not be beneficial to any power.
If Iran could play it cool, they could get some benefit from the situation. While US is losing it anyway.
1597  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why does violent exist among married men and women? on: January 05, 2020, 07:41:43 AM
I work as a secretary in a law firm and often times I have to go to the court to file cases of divorce. You find out that during the time my boss will try to resolve the dispute or disagreement between the couples, you will begin to hear and see all sorts of insults and abuses from both parties. I just cant stop imagining how two people who claimed to be in love with each are now their own enemies. What are those factors that could result to such irreconcilable differences? Your creative inputs is highly welcome.

I too work as a clerk in a local court. And the number of divorces are definitely on an increase.
Each and every of individual cases are different from one another but there are some trends that can be generalized.
People nowadays have less patience and they don't want to compromise a bit. Couples used to compromise a lot to save their relationship in the past.
Another thing is there are no long distance relationship anymore. When couples need to stay away from each other for study or work, they tend to look for a new partner more than in the past. And have a divorce to start the new relationship.
1598  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: High price but no volume on: January 05, 2020, 07:34:47 AM
When there are circulating coin, there would always be people buying and selling. If there are no buyers, the sellers keep on decreasing the price and if there are no sellers the buyers keeps on increasing the price till they get their suitable match. Any coin with no volume and high price is a fake price.
1599  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: STOs are still growing but very slowly on: January 04, 2020, 02:33:50 PM
STO are improving as the success of STO are being linked with the success of exchange. STO was the reason why LAtoken faced such a backslash and still trying to recover.
Binance is getting serious on choosing the right ICO and haven't launched any in last two months. Exchanges like Probit rose to fame thanks to successful STOs.

Hello, Lets talk about staking portion for a new generation of investment that you don't need trade cryptos but you can profit by locking tokens or coins?

I saw an staking today and the project called Elrond, Their staking has have 10 wave or phase of staking and now was on wave 2, the total supply was 17,000,000,000 ERD and only circulating was 6.612B each wave will be end if they reach the maximum 500M capacity. And the price still down fall, What is your opinion if they reached until the wave 10 and its almost all of circulating supply will be locked for a minimum 30 days up to 1 year.

I too had a look at Elrond and it looks promising. But as you said, they might not be worth the hassle if you could still buy them cheaper at a later time.
I have a few coins that are staked, NEO, Tron and Algorand to name them. I rather focus on the high ranked coins by marketcap as they have lower chances to fail as many hedges use them on their portfolio.
