181  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KYC for the DFINITY airdrop on: July 12, 2020, 04:50:29 PM
Nope, get away anything that requires you to pay to receive the airdrop, bounty, or whatever. If they want to verify an address to curb the number of bots and alts, they should ask people to send a certain amount to address you own. Not the "give us $9 and we will give it back, this is just for KYC" bullcrap.
This seems like another Twitter scam but this time it isn't in the name of Elon musk or John McAfee, they are again targeting the airdrops hunters and this time also they are asking money in return for airdrop tokens instead of giving double ethers as other scammers do on the Twitter.
Most people fall in this kind of traps because they think that it's just $9 what will the company do by doing a fraud for such small amount, but even if 1k people send $9 to the website address then it becomes a lot and the scammer succeeds in the scam as well and also gets motivated for doing more scams in the future.
182  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin is safe-haven, why mirror the price movement of the U.S stocks? on: July 11, 2020, 07:06:53 PM
I think all those things are quite unnecessary. Assets can't be a safe haven all the time. There are times that cash can be a better option as a safe haven, and sometimes gold is a good option to go with. There are times you will check and a particular asset will be doing fine while the majority in the market are falling. You can decide to buy that particular asset so you will be able to save your money and not lose it.

So in this case of cryptocurrency/bitcoin, I don't think it's necessary creating what you have referred to as S&P 500. Cryptocurrency is different, and it doesn't correlate with stocks just as you have said, sometimes when it does it's just a coincidence. They don't correlate in any way, neither does it correlate with gold. The only thing bitcoin correlates with its same cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum.

I think it's very necessary you understand the point from which I'm heading from, cryptocurrency fundamentals is quite different from stocks. But it clearly looks like the market sentiment is beginning to mirror each other.
There can be times when they mirror each other but in reality they are completely different from each other and bitcoin don't follow The stock market. In the past also there used to be a reverse trend between these two, when the stock market used to fall bitcoin rose in price and when former rose the latter fell, this is just a speculations all the time, the market sentiments changes and a lot of factors make the Price rise or fall we can only try and find these relations and still bitcoins will be unpredictable.
183  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What was your experience trading cryptocurrency? on: July 11, 2020, 05:59:18 PM
At the beginning it was not that rosy,  I followed some couple lots of fake trading groups on Telegram not until I learned the hard way before I started to desist from such channels, right now I can boldly boast of my own personal calls, not 100% right but much more better than lots of those fake channels calls
In the year 2015/16 there used to be a lot of pump and dump groups that mostly targeted Bittrex cryptocurrency pairs but the only problem was that you couldn't make money from those groups at all because the owner used to dump his coins after announcing it to his followers onto those who used to buy that coin after his announcement. I guess now it isn't the case anymore as these pump and dumps are illegal to participate into, at least in wall street it is.
My first trading experience was back in 2014 selling the coins that I received in an airdrop, back then airdrops used to give you more than 0.04 btc usually, and sometimes more than that too.
These kind of groups were very famous back them and most of them used to run on telegram, slack and on IRC channels. Now people are more aware about these pumps and dumps and don't fall for it usually.
I also used to hunt bounties and airdrops in the past, the most profitable for me was of Decred, I earned about 1.5btc from that single airdrop. But my first experience in trading was with Cryptsy which was the biggest exchange in my starting days and also having the biggest volumes but due to many hacks it ran out of business.
184  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should we invest in a bitcoin exchange? on: July 10, 2020, 06:54:55 PM
First, you should be updated with Bitcoin news and aware of its volatile situation. You know that it is not an easy job to make an exchange you should be kept in mind different factors like KYC, and securities. You took a great initiative. There are several Bitcoin exchanges even we didn't remember all the names of exchanges. Do hard work and promote your exchange on different platforms. It is a tough job but keep it on & Cheer Up!!   Wink
It would be awesome to have a decentralized exchange coded of our own and set x amount of fee per trade to an address which can further be used to promote that exchange, in this case there won't be any problem for the users to initiate an exchange as the funds won't be deposited on the centralized server so there won't be any fear of a hack, also no KYC will be required because we won't be processing any funds the code or decentralized exchange will be acting as a mediator between 2 parties taking a small percentage of fee. So this is a win win situation.
I know a lot of decentralized exchanges are out there but also are the centralized ones, so it will be better to go for innovation rather than following the herd.
185  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: TikTok PUMPS Dogecoin Cryptocurrency | ÐOGE going to $1?!!! on: July 10, 2020, 05:41:38 PM
tiktok challenge is very hot and also have a good demand in reality most especially on facebook ,tweeter or else ,because this is very barrier during this time of community quarantine ,despite all it's look like funny but in the present it is a perfect time to buy dogecoin.
Sorry but Tiktok popularity is getting bored nowadays,Not like when the pandemic still circling that all people has nothing to do but to make tiktok video but now?i only see fewer and fewer daily.
so i don't think that it is really tiktok that will make Dogecoin to the top and 1$?
That should be joke.
TikTok is very popular entertaining platform undoubtedly that's proved by billions of users in here. But i'm not fan of TikTok even it’s uncomfortable for me. I'm agreed TikTok never do Doge Coin pump around 1$ it’s a ridiculous strategy who's predicted that. Even though i can't imagine such price for the looking of dogecoin supply.               
In this situation also people are buying and making TikTok rich by pumping Doge coin as they would probably have already brought and stocked Doge coin for themselves and now they will be dumping these coins on the users who are buying now or maybe in the near future they will dump it. I don't think that Doge can even reach $1, if that happens then the people who are buying right now will also make more than 250 times their money on Doge which in case is going to be the investment of the year. Also Doge is having a long history of getting pumped and dumped and the same is happening right now. I don't think that Doge can retain it's price for long time, sooner or later it will go back to its original price from which the pump got started.
186  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Know what you getting into on: July 09, 2020, 05:48:53 PM
It takes time to make money in crypto space, some people called Ethereum and ripple a shitcoin years back, what happened to this coins today? They are big enough to be on top 5 lists, you can still spot new gems but It depends on how good you are with research and most importantly, nothing is guaranteed in this space, loses will come, if you don't put in some patience you will be forced into panic mode and that's all it take to freak out and sell for loss, understand what you getting into, it's not impossible but definitely not a straight road.

Just my kinda advice for newcomers, good luck and happy hunting
Finding a gem in this market is just like finding a needle in a haystack with all these coins coming up on a daily basis you have to search a coun in more than 1k tokens every year, I think it is hell of a job to search all these tokens and I don't think that it is worth it.
I guess now being a developer of these tokens is a lucrative job and everyone should try and become a block-chain developer, these jobs are actually paying you good.
187  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin be the ideal currency of the future? on: July 09, 2020, 04:15:18 PM
it would be cool to have BTC and pay them wherever you can, but like real money they can be stolen from your wallet. so you should not hope
Bitcoin wallet can't be hacked or your bitcoins can't be stolen by someone unknown if you haven't fallen in their trap in downloading any software or giving them the details of your wallet.
You can pay to whoever you want with bitcoins and there aren't any boundaries to the bitcoins transactions also it is pseudonymous and no one can block your wallet from doing transactions. So yes I think it is the ideal currency for the future and also the decimal places can also be increased to cope up with the limited supply problem.

189  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Do not participate in non reputed bounty managers campaign on: July 07, 2020, 06:11:51 PM
Some bounty managers are directly involved with scam projects. They themselves build a website, run bounty here and scam investors money while promoters receive nothing. Kakatua is one of examples. So, it is always better to only participate in campaigns which is managed by reputed campaign managers like Yahoo, Hhampuz. Remember, it is better to join one campaign a year than hundreds in a month.
The managers who just think about themselves and not for the bounty participants shouldn't become the mangers and also the managers that always want to scam other people for mere change are also untrustworthy and should be banned on the forum. I guess the people with a positive trust history should only be allowed to manage campaigns, either a bounty Campaign or bitcoins paying signature Campaign as it will lead to less number of people scamming and also spamming on the forum, also the quality of participants will also improve.
190  Economy / Economics / Re: China economy and how they handle Covid-19. on: July 06, 2020, 06:51:59 PM
We all know that the root of this pandemic are those Chinese people who eats exotic food. The first case of Covid-19 was in Wuhan, China, the markets there are in a lockdown and closed after they try to sell horseshoe bat where the new strand of corona virus came from. We all know that China has a strong and rich economy due to their love for money.

China's approach toward this virus is really precise and effective as they are minimizing the rate of transmission of this Covid-19. They are effectively slowing the number of cases and right now, they have only 415 active cases as of June 28, 2020, based on this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic.

Maybe the factors that help them to have a stable economy are:
1. Chinese people are really disciplined, they are not going outside but still can pay taxes.
2. They strictly following the rules and laws implemented by the government.
3. The government is prioritizing the health sector above all other sectors.
4. Properly allocating the budget for this pandemic.
5. We all know that China is the number 1, manufacturer of face masks, gloves, alcohol, and test kits.

By that factors, these will help them handle this Covid-19 properly and as well as controlling their economy to prevent some downward movement. Being a communist and huge country is really a good advantage as they control how money regulates in their country. Man power toward production of goods are really strong as they have the largest population.

Do you think each and every country can achieve this kind of approach to this pandemic? Can they recover faster from this struggle economically?
Most of the media channels of the entire world are speculating that China isn't showing the actual number of cases and these speculations were supported by the fact that a lot more Mobile connections and bank accounts were closed during the time period in which covid-19 was spreading in China at a rapid rate.
Actually if the countries follow lockdowns seriously like New Zealand then they can eliminate this epidemic from their country as well.



the problem is that the governance systems in each country are different, and also in the country's economy, if developed countries might impose lockdowns or implement recommended health protocols during a pandemic it might be easier to realize than in developing and poor countries.
Actually the developed countries are doing a good job in preventing the spread than the developing and under developed countries. The number of cases are also pretty less in developed countries as compared to the developing countries. But here my main question was about the Chinese government hiding the actual number of cases which doesn't happen pretty often in a democratic country that China says it is.

192  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the US economy suddenly recovering? on: July 04, 2020, 05:55:25 PM
From the analysis, necessary steps has been taking in time to minimize the deep effect by the pandemic. Traveling well controlled, hotel services dropped, trading was also controlled and people cooperated and complied. Though the graph showed economy has not been productive but when those who are managing the economy are secured the economy will recover faster as they resume

There is no bigger secret about what to do for economies to bounce back.. The entrepreneurs and government need a better cooperation that is deliberate to restart the economy. That is, small business owners need to be encouraged by financing them properly.
The small business owners were already facing financial problems and due to lockdown the problems for those have also increased because they weren't able to sell any products so many of those had to close down their business. So bailouts should be done in order to restart their businesses.
But unlike other countries America have actually saved most of their economy by sacrificing just a small part of it and the economy haven't taken a major hit as compared to other countries.
193  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In what way you’ll inherit Bitcoin to your loved ones? on: July 04, 2020, 04:17:38 PM
I will teach them about bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and defi from early years of their life and also tell the benefits of Crypto over fiat as well. But i will keep most of my Bitcoins a secret from them and I will tell my wife and my lawyer on how to retrieve those bitcoins, if in case of my sudden demise they can redeem those bitcoins. Also will be saving a copy of the private key in my bank locker it being the safest place in the world that I know of.
194  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My friend passed away and he have Bitcoin in his wallet on: July 03, 2020, 06:15:32 PM
Hi
It's a bit strange topic and situation so a friend of mine passed away in a traffic accident and I'm sure he have big amount of saved bitcoins in his wallet or wallets.
His parents a bit old school and they know nothing about technology or Bitcoin
So I want to tell his parents about it as probably his private keys is saved in his personal PC or email or his phone or some paper
And no I cannot go to meet them as I'm in another country now but I have his father's phone and another friend of mine living close to them

So do you guys think it's a good idea to tell his parents about it ? To search of they find some twelve words it's a key to some hisen coins ? Or what do you guys think?
You should tell his parents about the bitcoins in your friend's wallet, also you must be knowing his public key, so you can check the amount of bitcoins that he was having and tell their parents the dollar value of his bitcoins. Maybe they will get a lot of financial help with this money that their son left in investments. At least a good friend in my position would have done the same if I were you. Also please tell them to not share that key with anyone else as they can take that money and they will never know who took the money.

196  Economy / Economics / Re: Is global adoption of Bitcoin possible post-Covid? on: June 29, 2020, 06:12:47 PM
That is one of the flaws in OP's argument, the decentralize status of bitcoin is a big factor that every country should consider, in my opinion.
The decentralized nature of BTC is the reason why major governments around the world oppose crypto and BTC like crazy since they pose a threat to their own centralized currencies.

This is the primary reason why most people around the world haven't adopted BTC yet since the governments don't let them through bans etc. Once the governments embrace them(Example: Indian government in recent times), adoption rates could go through the roof.
The market cap of cryptocurrencies entirely is not even close to the GDP of a country currently so i dont think that these are posing any threat to the fiat currencies at all, but there is a high chance of them posing threat to the centralized currencies in the future.
Also Indian government haven't embraced cryptocurrencies, they just started allowing banks to make the accounts of the companies related to crypto which were blocked back in 2018 by RBI, and this can also be temporary as the RBI has gained filed for re hearing of this case.
197  Economy / Speculation / Re: Now BTC Price will drop or up? on: June 29, 2020, 04:52:05 PM
I have a strong thought that next July, the price of bitcoin will reach $ 10k again. however, at the moment the price of bitcoin is indeed so close to the price of $ 8k, but the price of bitcoin is really struggling to maintain the current price of $ 9k. sooner or later, the price of bitcoin will definitely increase, I believe it.

We have no guaranty that it will reach that price level, things are unclear right now many people are hoping that the price will reach the $10,500 level but look what happen we are back to $9100 from $10000 when the month started.
It's too early to tell but still the nest time to accumulate Bitcoin.

By the direction of these swings and the intensity of the swings I can say there will be a dump in pretty short period of time which is inevitable and only a pump can again start a bull market which should at least take the bitcoins price back to at least $10.5k, anything under it still won't confirm a bull market.
Twitter and YouTube are also going crazy over speculations on the future of bitcoin and many of those people say that bitcoin can also see a new ATH when the next pump starts.
198  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who got the 10.000 bitcoins for the 2 pizzas? on: June 29, 2020, 04:10:03 PM

Did he ever revealed the TX ID?
...

Yes, the transaction was this one:

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/a1075db55d416d3ca199f55b6084e2115b9345e16c5cf302fc80e9d5fbf5d48d

And one interesting fact about the pizza transaction was the 0.99BTC fees as you can see on the link.
This amount wasn't really a big deal back then, the Price of bitcoins was in pennies and this was one of the first real world transactions with bitcoins that we know about and is also documented pretty well.
If the Jercos would have hold these coins for a little longer then these would have made him $100 million and he could have lived a lavish life without doing anything for ever for his entire life, this is a dream come true for every person on this Earth.
199  Economy / Economics / Re: What if this pandemic persists till the end of the year? on: June 28, 2020, 06:27:05 PM
So many lost their life due to the virus, some are Dieing without food because of the same virus. Whole world is suffering due to coronavirus.

This is the beginning we will see more worst situation within the September it's not gonna end this year.. All doctors scientists are trying to find medicine for this. Hope they will find medicine soon and save the world.

It's a huge loss don't know when this crisis will end. Do not spend much save for future so that even if lock down we can manage for food atleast.

Also the governments are saying that they are donating food for free to the poor people, but the harsh truth is that in my area there are a lot of homeless people and no one is actually caring about them. If this pandemic persists till the end of the year then there will be a lot of casualties, even more than the predicted numbers by the WHO. Also the beds in the hospitals are drying up, so you should always take all the precautions while outside your hous so as to be safe from this virus.

To be honest, I just found out about this and really surprised me as a gamer. This is very good advancement between cryptocurrency and gaming where possible to earn coins while playing games
I recently tried this method of gaming, but the problem I faced was that the amount that was paid for the time invested in the game was too low and also the features were pretty limited but this wouldn't be the same in the future with all the developments happening and cryptocurrencies integrating with many other businesses. Also in the case of Battle Royale games there is a high risk of loosing your money as it depends on luck a lot along with the skills, but luck is what matters the most in those games.
