1061  Economy / Marketplace / Re: 1 Year in Cryptocurrency still no luck earning bitcoin. Need some real advice. on: January 12, 2018, 06:39:16 PM
Need some expert or real advice on how I can earn bitcoin. thanks

set a goal  how much you want to earn from bitcoin? also what is your skills and free time to earn that.
also why you want to earn all this help you to earn fast
In fact, ignore goals, and just get to work is enough. As long as you are smart, you know what you are doing and you are willing to do more research to earn as much as you can, there is just no way will you spend a year without even earning at least $100. It is pathetic to know that someone could even be here and bold enough to open a topic to state this.

When we will be having free mindset then we can work unlimited. Sometime our goals and its aggressiveness may drag us back. So, it is more important to have peaceful mind to work hard.
1062  Economy / Marketplace / Re: bitcoin transaction fees has put me out of business on: January 12, 2018, 05:57:20 PM
my question is why can't merchant website accept at least one other crypto for people to  make their choice. there are other coins out there with very small tx chargers which suits everyone example bcc ltc ,,, if merchant start accepting alts then everyone will start accepting too,, i only deal in bitcoins because that is what everyone around me is willing to accept,,

why do we keep suffering from problems who's solutions are already there??..
Bitcoin is the most secure and widely used crypto currency, so it makes sense for merchants to just have Bitcoin as crypto checkout option. If you look around you, there are payment gateways accepting altcoins as well.

If you look a bit further, then you'll understand that Bitcoin in current times needs lightning network, and with how things go right now, we potentially might be utilizing its much needed features before the end of 2018.

Low fees, no need to worry about confirmations, ability to process an insane number of transactions per second, atomic swaps, better overall scalability, etc. Patience is what we need, but once active, alts will get hit badly.
It is honestly becoming infuriating but I am sure this is something that we cannot avoid for now and at the same time it is something that would end up passing. I am still very optimistic that things would change and it is better to get it done well than to rush and no one could have envisaged that the growth would be this massive, but it is a price we have to pay for now until a solution is found.

Should I purchase more bitcoin and or litecoin before the new year hits or after? suggestions/opinions
Why does it matter if it's before or after 2018? Just buy if you think it will go up in the future.
I really wonder why anyone would really think the time of the day or year matters. Bitcoin will eventually still rise up and come back to where it all started from. As long as you know you are looking at the future of what you are holding, the last thing is to be considering the time to buy. Now is even the right time and with bitcoin showing some bullish move right now, you better get in before it is too late.

I am very much confident that this year also we are going to some exciting bumps to make bitcoin prices into new height. I guess, by end of January we can see bitcoin prices to start flying again.
1064  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how improve trading on: January 11, 2018, 05:21:14 PM
Improving your trading requires knowledge of reading charts and analyzing it. Aside from chart reading, indicators is also very useful as well. It doesnt stop here. Researching about your hold coin is a must. Always read the news, so you will know when to sell or to buy more.
Technical analysis and ability to make use of indicators to know what to expect next or as well follow trend is all that is needed and there is no one that was born with these skills unless you are an extreme genius. Gradually with learning, and as you start practicing, you end up having some little bit of experience and before you know it, you start gaining confidence in yourself and start making trading decisions like pros.

Keep learning on everyday basis will help any person to turn as a professional trader. But, we need to remember that even professional traders also book losses time to time as no can guarantee to predict all the markets all the times.

also what is the cheapest/free exchanges to deposit us currency via bank or debt card

If you buy now its a good for you if you already money to buy then if you buy next year,there's no change the price of bitcoin that you want to buy.it depend on you every time is the best time if you have money to buy bitcoin and litecoin.
Right now, bitcoin is showing a very great chance to move to the upward trend with some little chances of some quick test of the previous support or possibly just breaking upwards.

Buying now is a good option for those who have missed the chance by asking too much questions on when to buy when bitcoin took a huge dip. Hope they have learnt their lessons not to always wait for too long if they are eventually going to be investing for the long run anyway.
1066  Economy / Economics / Re: Does bitcoin important in blockchain world ? on: January 10, 2018, 08:13:59 PM
Not only is it important it plays an integral and vital role in how beginners understand the industry. When I first got into Bitcoin it was because I knew about Bitcoin not because of altcoins, or because of cryptocurrency, or cryptography, or "mooning". None of those I knew about all I knew was Bitcoin existed and it seemed awesome and from there we gain and expand our knowledge about blockchains.
Yeah, most people in the crypto space today got a hint of bitcoin first and gradually got to know all about the blockchain technology being the base for bitcoin before they even start getting a hint of other cryptocurrencies. The role of bitcoin in the blockchain world is highly important and this is a role that would keep being in relevance for the rest of the crypto space life.

Bitcoin is highly important. The first cryptocurrency that the blockchain technology gave birth to was bitcoin and that is what totally make bitcoin different and why other coins are totally classified as altcoins and that is what they will always be, no matter how the bankers try to push a centralized bullshit up if you know what I am saying. Bitcoin serves as the main one that other coins just decided to build on.
1067  Economy / Economics / Re: What will happen to the banks if people uses cryptocurrencies more than fiat? on: January 10, 2018, 06:59:52 PM
Sudden (yet expected) surge in the ripple shows that Banks are fascinated with this technology and they are eager to use it to optimize their current time consuming traditional infrastructure. However, there is no reason to worry as decentralisation is not going anywhere and still we will see the fiat currencies on the blockchain. There will be the people who will still use the fiat currencies irrespective of the technological advancements.
I still feel the surge in ripple was a manipulation and nothing else. If banks really want to go crypto they would rather start fresh than using an established coin.

Everything has gone cashless anyway, so at the end I feel banks will end up starting introducing gradually their currencies using the blockchain technology. However, paper will somehow still be useful in some countries where there is limited infrastructure, most especially internet.
1068  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin in 2018 on: January 07, 2018, 06:05:43 AM
I believe that bitcoin will only grow, it is already clear that the new year begins with the growth of investments, the price will also go up
Growth for bitcoin is for sure definite for now and no matter what we want to predict or assume, what is bound to happen will still happen. We may see some sideways resistance for now before either breaking to the top or downwards, but whichever way, bitcoin is still going to end up bouncing back in the long run and holding now for those who are not trading is even more important than ever.
1069  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin Rise again in January? on: January 07, 2018, 04:32:55 AM
In my opinion bitcoin will rise up to $22000. 

No one knows, but all I know that its price will rise up more than its All time high. So, let us just wait for it to happen, and of course it will happen!
Yeah, as long as you keep holding, you cannot miss out. I have made a mistake to drop some alts which are now really doing pretty well and though a lot of people have speculated that they may end up to start dropping hugely later on, I may just have to take my chances back on some of them now. What I am trying to imply is that, whatever is happening, all you just have to do is to HODL.

No one knows what the next value is going to hold for bitcoin but for now, it looks like it may breakout to start another bull run or possibly go back down to test the lower resistance, but whichever way, whatever price it is going to give, is apparently going to be a good one.
1070  Economy / Speculation / Re: Too Many Gloom & Doomers! on: January 06, 2018, 08:18:18 PM
Fees have killed it and unless the developers deal the the mining monopoly then
the "Gloom & Doomers" are well founded and now could well be a good time
to place a stop-loss unless you like walking home instead of taking a taxi

Too many gambling addicts here if you ask me

You forget about something.The high fees/low confirmation time might be annoying and seem like a big problem,but they are intended to stop large price bubbles that grow very fast.This proves that Satoshi was a genius.The "mining monopoly" doesn`t matter that much.Miners can`t exist and can`t make money from btc,if there are no buyers and HODLers.
Yes. This is a point that is quite valid and I am sure it has really proven to have helped sanity and some health in the market, which possibly could have turned to a very huge bubble in no time.

Nevertheless, with the LN, I am sure the part of it being a currency where micro transactions can be easily done would make it really impressive and make bitcoin a top notch than we can imagine. However, anyone who is losing it right now just because of some price drop or some corrections, will only have themselves to blame later on.
1071  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Turning $50,000 into 1M in 365 days- Buy and Hold possible? on: January 06, 2018, 06:25:55 PM
My suggestion is to remove XRP from your list, it is a centralized coin and any bullshit can happen to that coin at any time and even if you are so keen on holding it, then give it the lowest percentage unless you are part of the bankers who feel you are going to push it up.

It is your decision anyway, but most of the coins you have chosen are pretty good and you can also just try to see the top 100 cryptos and see how you can spread your investment across most of them.
1072  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin traders, why don't you just trade forex? on: January 06, 2018, 05:17:41 PM
Bitcoin trading is a good way of making money and if we can hold we should make lot of profit from it.
It is even easier to lose so much on Forex than losing so much on crypto trading. Once you make the wrong decision and unless you make a stop loss, your stuffs are all gone, but with crypto, you can even just decide to hold and then see you getting your value back probably later on. I understand the OP's perspective, but seriously, there is a lot more opportunity to gain trading crypto to me than trading Forex when it comes to making pretty huge profit.
1073  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Banks adopting Blockchain dramatically faster than expected on: January 06, 2018, 02:10:07 PM
I guess this is one of the reasons XRP has been running so good lately. But as far as I know not that many banks are using the XRP token but thaty are basing their system on the Ripple technology. Then I think they are developing their on token. Or that is the impression I have gotten anyway.

Either way, banking is a huge market for the BlockChain technology so I don't see XRP going down any time soon.
XRP may not be going down soon but I would not trust that to be. It is the crypto market and XRP may be driven by the banks but that does not mean it would keep on like that forever. Also, the banks adopting blockchain technology does not mean they are picking interest in XRP being a banker's coin as they can just decide to make use of the technology from the scratch themselves.

I am not surprised XRP would be their main coin to use in this essence and which is why we have been seeing some huge consistent growth on this one. I am not sure how long this is going to keep on but I am really looking forward to how much the value of XRP is going to be driven to before the year runs to an end. Nevertheless, the banks can make use of the blockchain technology even without XRP.
1074  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can ETH reach BTC value ? on: January 06, 2018, 01:36:22 PM
It’s possible that Eth can reach BTC value. I do believe that Ethereum has the potential to have a value as much as Bitcoin. All that eth needs is more demand so the price would be pump
It could reach BTC value but I would not expect that bitcoin would remain a dead end without any growth, so this would be a coin that would not have the same value at the end of it all with bitcoin. They will all keep growing and we all know how domineering bitcoin is in the market, so I may want to consider that as well. Nevertheless, they both have potential, so I would not discard anyone.
1075  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin for all levels of society, without any difference on: January 06, 2018, 01:11:42 PM
Bitcoin is decentralized so that whoever you are from wherever you are rich or poor, you are free to use bitcoin for any purpose. Bitcoin is freely used for anyone. anywhere

What is your response with this opinion?
Bitcoin does not practice discrimination nor biases instead it is fair and square when it comes to profit. It does not implement any consideration for the rich and bad attitude with the poor. There are a lot of people in poverty already who was able to escape being poor with the help of bitcoin. This just simply show how bitcoin sets no taking sides when it comes to payment.
No discrimination at all. In fact, the thing is we are the cryptocurrencies as we all have the chance to dictate what we want for ourselves and being an open source, community driven, and a lot of people have the chance to get to learn about it unless they do not want to, everyone can have access to it.

It is a decentralized world, and not the usual centralized ones that enslaved us and monopolized everything.
1076  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think cryptocurrencies have the potential to overtake regular currencies? on: January 06, 2018, 11:57:19 AM
With the number of users increasing rapidly, then the biggest threat to the traditional financial system is cryptocurrency, I'm sure it will be difficult to stop cryptocurrency because everyone supports it.
It is a huge threat and I am sure the banks already know that and the craziest part is that at this stage and the rate at which cryptocurrency has boomed, it is totally unstoppable and that is why they do not have any choice than to find how the government can benefit and not get left out at the end of the day.

Regular currencies though will get wiped out eventually when things go digital, even though it will take just some few decades before we end up seeing that.
1077  Economy / Economics / Re: What will happen if the government know bitcoin in your country? on: January 06, 2018, 11:37:03 AM
I think they will ban bitcoin because of the fearful that may affect of the economics of my country but i disagree there opinion because working bitcoin is very helpful for me especially the support financial.

For me, I think this sorely depends on the pulse of the people on how they are accepting or if a vast majoritt of the voting pu lic are really using and improving with cryptocurrency which as such can be a progress or a detriment depending on how the government views it
Actually, everything depends on how the government will end up perceiving bitcoin or cryptocurrency at large. For now, for mine, there is really no problem about that yet and I am sure there would really be no problem.

The thing is that, except for countries like China, where Socialism and Communism, persists, it would be hard for any democratically country to just wake up one day and decide to ban bitcoin, which is why the majority of countries will still end up making use of bitcoin anyway.
1078  Economy / Speculation / Re: It's that unfair for those who don't have bitcoin in the future ? on: January 06, 2018, 07:45:45 AM
Wouldn't it be even more unfair if the early adopters who actually stuck their necks out to make Bitcoin relevant weren't rewarded? At some point in the future, Bitcoin will be regarded as low risk, and low risk ventures rarely yield high returns. It's just standard economics at work.

I mean, I guess it kind of sucks how much easier it was to get Bitcoins back then, but Bitcoin was never really meant to equalize wealth -- just access to it. Just take the risk now and you'll still be much better off than even later adopters.
Yes, those who invested in bitcoin earlier took the higher risk and what we even have now is still more like a mid-risk and for those who think that is unfair should either assume the fact that some people are older than some to be unfair.

We have stages for everyone in life and we will always end up having those at the last stage who are laggards and were unwilling to take risk when their mates were taking to be the ones who will lose out and it would be unfair if those ones end up to be on the same ground with those who took the huge risk now.
1079  Economy / Speculation / Re: Peter Thiel & Bitcoin on: January 06, 2018, 04:38:38 AM
Probably not.
He invested between $15-$20m in mid 2017.
With the price increase their holdings have increased drastically. If they were to cash out a significant amount then it would affect the price leaving the rest of their coins worth less.
The same goes with anyone holding large reserves looking to cash out. They sell small walls so they don't affect the price allowing the market to set the price and selling their coins in batches at the otherwise higher rates.
I guess 15 to 20 million dollar is not such a huge amount at the moment to affect bitcoin anyhow for a long-term. It may affect the price for a little while but where BTC stands with more than 200 Billion dollar market cap in which the said amount makes a share of less than 1%. Also we can term it as a pilot project investment by Peter Thiel's founder. Could be just a trial based to check whether to keep it in future or not.
It isn't. Comparing the amount to the market cap, that would probably have just some little effect on the market and I am sure that would be like a dash at the price he may even want to dump it if he ever wants to. A little while is even over rated, and from the look of it and comparing it to what this guy is worth, I am sure he has just decided to throw that into bitcoin, just in case it gets huge. We all know how these rich dudes think.
1080  Economy / Speculation / Re: A stable Bitcoin on: January 05, 2018, 06:13:22 PM
What if Bitcoin started acting more like a real currency, becoming more stable on the $14000 to $15000 level without veering too much away from it. Would you support that kind of stability? Would that make Bitcoin a better store of value for you?

Would you buy more Bitcoin?

As an asset, I probably would remove my investments in bitcoin and put them into something a bit more profitable. As a currency and technology, I would definitely keep up with it because stability for bitcoin would mean that it can be used as a currency more openly. People currently worry that if they spend their bitcoin on something, they'll lose out on some value that the bitcoin can potentially have. Similarly, for shopkeepers, they need to deal with the possibility that bitcoin would go down. I don't think it would make bitcoin a better store of value for me since it's not rising, but I would buy more because it will most likely be the currency of use if stability reaches it.
Yes, for anyone who really classifies bitcoin as an asset, then there is no way one would not pull out, but for its real value as a currency, that would still make it very useful. However, unless we do not want to face the real truth, most people see bitcoin today more of an asset than a currency and that scares me, even with the high transaction fees, long time of transaction and all that, I hope this is going to get sustained in the long run.
