801  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you think about new Bittrex platform? on: April 12, 2018, 04:17:35 PM
I liked the simplicity of their old UI even though it's design wasn't modern. At least it works. The new UI though? Crappy in my opinion. The colors just doesn't go well in my opinion, and it feels so laggy for some reason. It even sort of looks like COSS.IO's old UI. This should be an upgrade, but it looks like the opposite.

I don't about laggy issue because for me it works quite well. But I too liked that old version. The new also looks good but didn't do any trading yet so slowly may adjust to the new layout. Old was really simple to use.

Anyway, these exchanges earn a lot of money so they have to do all these upgrading things to make traders happy. Last year these exchanges made a lot of money.
Well, I hope they get to see the traders happy with this. All the above, they really want to keep changing their platform is none of my business, because to me, they are still not just getting it. Nevertheless, for simplicity and ease in quickly accessing somethings, it is still better than the last one, except that the UI looks horrible and they kind of overdid that aspect.

Maybe I am just seeing too much but whichever way, as long as API keeps working well for me, then it’s all I need. I really do not trade directly on the platform anyway.

I think people have been dormant this past few months ever since the start of the bear market, I guess the sudden decrease of popularity is because people are now more aware about BTC and cryptocurrency and they have settled in waiting for the right time of BTC to shine again.
It is even the usual thing we should always expect in a bear market. HODL most times is mostly being used by those who got FOMOed (pardon my English – idea is needed Grin) into the bull market and then when the whole thing happens, they end up still holding anyway without any choice but as it is, the interest dies down as they just hope that one day the market recovers and they get to see the whole idea of HODL coming into play.

After all, for now, we should know already that most people prefer joining the bandwagon than doing things differently which always give the institutions an advantage.
803  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin solve the worlds problem? on: April 12, 2018, 03:28:37 PM
No it can't, the technology behind bitcoin is great and can change a lot of things but it's not powerful enough to solve the world problems. It can make a lot of things easier and more transparent but it can solve complex things like poverty and etc. Bitcoin and blockchain give people opportunity to make their life better but it's up to the person to take it or not.
Yeah, I guess we really need to focus more on the idea of blockchain technology but we also have to realize that most countries will still end up using the blockchain technology one way to their favor as they will never support the idea of decentralization.

However, a lot of things are going to change as regards to this compared to the normal system of fiat as this may end up bringing some level of transparency if the government decides to adopt it. Bitcoin in itself being decentralized has already solved so many problems but that is dependent on large scale usage when comparing to global problem.

What's more important when starting a business, Big Idea or Big Capital?
You will need to have a good idea of the kind of business that you want to set up and at the same time you need enough capital though it all depends on the types of business that you want to start. All in all you will need the two for you succeed in your business if you really want to succeed in your business.
I have always believed in ideas. Idea naturally brings wealth and as long as you can push it out there, you would be surprised at the way it would boom, most especially if mother nature works in your favor.

The thing with idea is that if it is unique and something very usable that would attract attentions, there is no way you just would not make it big in whichever industry the idea is centered. Moreover money is always a booster, so if you have it both, it is always better, but if you are to choose one over the other, idea comes first.
805  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Warning BITCOIN Scam... Be Cautious! on: April 12, 2018, 10:39:39 AM
not just in the Philippines.
but still many other countries like that , education about cryptocurrency should be extended to the general public.
I had been a victim of that sort of thing before , but it makes me a valuable lesson to better understand cryptocurrency.

Rather than thinking about bitcoin is scam or whatever which make us not open to accept new techlogy, better we educate oursleve become knowing what is real about bitcoin and after we will more understand and make the right decision.
Earning money is not that easy like you said and its true. Investing in bitcoin is also not easy so its the same.
Who even cares ? Who even ends up getting scammed in a ponzi scheme must be dumb, stupid and greedy enough to have fallen for it, and it has nothing to do with bitcoin or cryptocurrency. Scam has always existed because there will always be those people who are so lazy to work and looking for shortcuts to everything in life only to end up getting what they deserved.

It has been on and people will keep falling. I remember the days of bitconnect when everyone keeps saying how it is a ponzi, some may almost want to skin you alive for saying that, but it seems most times, we really do not need to say much, as it is just better to just let them learn from their own stupidity.
806  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will become more popular on: April 11, 2018, 06:03:40 PM
For sure is that step by step bitcoin is getting more useful for many people, and more and more companies are starting to use it. Plus, the latest news from Malta with specific frameworks for crypto industry. So, I'd say yes, bitcoin will become more popular.
Everything is life is generally step by step and we just have to understand that we cannot expect development to come just in a single day or year. With what we have even had based on where we have been coming from, we have even grown faster over the years than most of us who have been here for a while would have expected.

Things keep getting better, the market keeps looking enticing for the top investors and we keep seeing them stepping in gradually. Bitcoin is already gaining a lot of popularity, but we are not even close to the level it will get to when we start hitting mainstream adoption.
807  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Profit or No profit? on: April 11, 2018, 04:36:47 PM
There is no profit unless you cash out.  If Bitcoin went to 50m per coin and you didn't cash out anything you won't have made a profit.  There is a time to buy and a time to sell.  And sometimes a time to hodl.  
This is the reason why some exchanges have a way you can hedge your funds and benefit from the huge fluctuation or volatility in bitcoin. Sure, it is either you are holding or you are trading either short term or long depending on your pattern which most long investors always use the trend following to benefit from the market and to do that, fiat is always the best means to hold and buy back at the bottom.

My fist bet was in a game of marbles that you put in a box that is drawn with chalk. You would hit all of those with your own marble to push it outside and and the winner will win the alloted money.
For me, it is worthless. You must be putting your money in a source where there are quite satisfied chances to earn back a handsome amount. I don’t say you just forget about loss and risk factor but winning must have a dominant role over loss.

While betting and gambling are totally useless in this regard. You can never have even 1% of winning chances in both of them. So leave them before they kill you financially.
Nice to hear. Laughed a lot. I am sure you must have gotten screwed several times before with both to have really come down hard like that. I feel you though, because I only ended up having the same experience and sport betting is even way better compared to gambling as that at least will still do with some little knowledge on sports but the thing is that it is just damn crazy because most times, you will be losing anyway.

My first bet was probably when i was ten, with two friends, at first i didn't want to but at the end we placed a bet haha. We bet something like 1$ together and we won 2$. First bet first win.
Friends must be a wrong reasons with the case of introducing gambling to our life. I do see many people have entered into the dangers of gambling only due to their friends. But, we cannot ignore the importance of friends in our life still sometimes some negative things also do happen like this.

811  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Good News!! Coin value is increasing again!! on: March 28, 2018, 06:36:16 PM
We can not talk about the growth of the market, until we see growth for several weeks
Yes, the market itself anyway will sustain with some good news at some point. But, we would not be far from the truth with the G20 giving a boost effect to the value. However, we have to understand that the CME closes around end of March, so that may still be a limiting factor, but I am looking forward to what April is going to be having for us.

For those who have invested during the dip, here is a very good chance to enjoy the fruit of their smartness and their patience and for those who have not, this is still a good chance to utilize the present moment to their benefit and buy back in more. I am not going to be expecting so much immediately, but I am actually expecting so much once the month ends, so I am keeping my arms crossed.
812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Criteria of a good gambler on: March 28, 2018, 04:48:26 PM
Agree with everything except the first point. Do you think that chasing profit is a mistake? Profit is what makes people interested in gambling, I mean it's more than just a bonus. Gambling is fun, but not if you lose a streak, you'll need a profit too. So I disagree with the first point, but for the other points, I'm with you.
No! I would rather not say everyone, but if you had said most people, then that would have been fine. By the way, chasing profit is a mistake and will always be a mistake. This is the main reason why a lot of people today have ended up an addict. You think there is anything to gain from gambling except just having some fun and if luck just comes your way, you can cart home with some huge amount of money?

A lot of people have missed it with that mindset and that is why I totally agree with the OP. Gambling is not an investment which you are looking for profit, and in fact, the only person looking for profit are the owners, and every gambler is just a piece of the puzzle connected together to make the owners richer. Take it or leave it!
Bless you mate. I really wonder why anyone on earth would think gambling was meant to make them get rich, and even with that mindset, even if they end up hitting a huge amount of money, they would still end up gambling and losing it all.

It is a crazy world with the way people attribute profit with gambling these days and I really do wonder where we are headed with this kind of mentality. Until we start seeing people who can only classify gambling as fun and fun alone, we will never stop seeing addicts.

OP is talking about and no serious minded gambler should ever imagine gambling to be a profit making venture. This is not a business, it is a game of chance, so thinking you are in this to make profit is totally absurd and that is why so many people lose a huge amount of money and ended up adding a plus one to the addictive society.
813  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Walk of Shame on: March 28, 2018, 01:31:59 PM
When I used to gamble with my friends. I rarely lose because I knew their reactions and facial expressions. However, I remember myself getting cocky. We bet on 500$. I thought that I was going to win at first. But when I lost, I was like "That is impossible...How did I lose when everything went smoothly and in my favor." I really got angry but I learned that I should never underestimate my opponent even if he always fails.
Overconfidence and arrogance clouds the mind of a person. One must avoid these two for his own safety and betterment. When a person starts thinking, he is perfect he stops being perfect rather improving. Besides, it is gambling we are talking about here. A game which outcome is decided on the basis of luck and there can be times when luck might not feel like helping us. That is why it is better to stay humble and much better to not lose 500 dollars this way.
I even wonder why anyone would want to be overconfident in gambling when it is not their father that owns the house edge. Grin

As long as you do not consider the safety of your pocket and you want to gamble, it would be hard to control the impulse that comes with it and that is the main spot that ends up getting a lot of people screwed in the long run.

It is either you are in or you are out, and if you are fully in, you have the chances of messing yourself up and always walking that walk.
814  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does positive thinking affect your edge in gambling on: March 28, 2018, 12:07:51 PM
Some people think that strong feeling affect the outcome of your bet. But for me its all about luck., what do you think guys.
Yes it can affect because you will have clear mind and you can decide correctly if you are positive. But its still not an assurance that you will win but it will help you a lot.
If you are too positive, you will only end up pushing yourself to do thing s you would not have done normally if you are in your right senses.

It is always better to know how to switch immediately from being positive to being real when you are getting seriously beaten by the house, and just pack your bags and yourself and leave instead of thinking that with positive thinking, you can still recover. Ask those who had that kind of mindset before, they are being rehabilitated now.
815  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin preparing for a bull run?? on: March 28, 2018, 10:45:02 AM
We all hope this. It seems a bit difficult for the moment, and if a new bad news spreads, Bitcoin will dump a little bit more. And, panic sales are also affecting Bitcoin, because beginners are looking at the market situation, losing themselves, and they think that they will lose money, so they sell everything.
We are still uncertain about bitcoin getting  another price hike because based from what we can see the price keeps on getting low and it looks like the market is still gonna be on red because of the holidays.  But here is something for sure,  no one exactly knows what will happen in bitcoin and in its price.  We can only make predictions that can be about positivity or negativity,  what important is to remain calm so we won't be doing any bad decision for our portfolio.
Who knows? Last years pump were unpredictable, it might happen again but as long as all this fuss present it might be harder to do the run, we will be needing more time.
Yes, well said. Nothing is predictable. We all predicted the possibility of seeing $5000 before the end of December last year, back in January, and then we just keep hitting it, on and on and on until we got to the previous ATH at $19800.

Moreover, this is totally a typical market and something can just change within a split of second and for the fact that it is uncontrolled and highly volatile, we just have to wait and see how events unfold. As for now though, things do not really seem more like any serious movement will be taking place.
816  Economy / Speculation / Re: Ethreum or Bitcoin? on: March 28, 2018, 07:51:04 AM
Cardano.
Lol. Talk of some of the competitions of Ethereum. Honestly, the way I see it, I would rather always have more in bitcoin than any other altcoin. Ethereum has huge competitors even though it is already established in a way, but whether we like it or not, it will still keep fighting for that spot as a preferred smart contract platform. Regardless of these, no one can predict the future, so we best just leave it as it is and see how things turn out, which makes finally diversifying not a bad option for every crypto investors as there are multiple promising coins are available and most importantly still in early phases itself.
817  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin survive? on: March 28, 2018, 07:11:28 AM
It is currently not the question of whether Bitcoin will survive or not for is already a surviver of all attacks both from government and private institutions all over the world  and so shall it  continue to survive all the negative comments about its existence.
People will always have something to say when the market is down like it is the end of the world already and would rather just stick with the opinion of some bears who are always trying to spread FUD in the market to make their decisions. Bears are always looking for the best price to buy, but they know for sure in their own mind that, they would not want a situation where the market would get drained so badly.

I remember so many things were said last year, but here we are, not even close to the middle of last year's value. Like you said, bitcoin is already a survivor and nothing can change that.
818  Economy / Speculation / Re: The price of Bitcoin will soon reach $15k on April, 2018 on: March 27, 2018, 07:40:51 PM
I like your prediction based on Bollinger Band and Trendline indicator. Actually this is very reasonable because we will be entering Q3 next month. Whales have prepared themself to make a move in the market which is I believe to be bullish too. Besides, G20 Summit has come into conclusion that crypto is not threat in world traditional financial system.
Yeah, it is a reasonable one. Things are looking good right now and I would not actually be surprised anyway to see this happening at all. Considering how things are heading for now, I feel it is time for consolidation and that is what we are going to keep having for a while. I have been drifted towards this side as well since the bounce from $7400 and hoping to see us testing the $10,000 resistance back and forth for a while.

I believe we are going to be consolidating within this region for a while before btc finally take off. I am not expecting anything much in the next few weeks either and it will also be a very good time to trade those fluctuations and may also be a very good time for alts as well, so I guess we wait and see how it ends.
819  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What I Should Know Before You Start Trading Cryptocurrency on: March 27, 2018, 06:40:00 PM
You first need to set your strategies and techniques when trading, you have to religiously follow that so that you won't go astray in your trades and dealings. May I remind you that, in this market, especially in the trade market, it's quite easy to bite the dust and do trades that are seemingly good on the onset but would end up going sour. I am saying this so that it would be a normal thing for you as a trader to study your moves very closely before going for it.
As long as you have strategy, you will always be fine with trading and you obviously cannot have strategy if you do not know how to trade or have a very good knowledge about how to trade safely and make use of the indicators at your disposal which a lot of people from what I have seen on this forum usually do not. Once you are good, then you are going to do very fine with your trade.

Holding and selling is not a bad idea. You can also engage in trading
Even for holding you must know few things before entering into buying an asset for holding. Holding is an easier way of trading but what you will hold ? Other than holding bitcoin, you must study lots of thing to get start with.
820  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The Most Important Trading Lessons on: March 27, 2018, 11:20:06 AM
The number 1 lesson is the best of all and will teach you everything. Do not believe any groups that are telling you this will happen or that will happen. It will always be just speculation.
No one can predict to what will happen. The price could double anytime or could fall until you cannot take it anymore.
Then all of it will follow, including what you should do to at least have an idea to where the price will go.
Legitimate telegram group of one coin is the best one to get more knowledge.

Yes.  I agree that telegram groups can offer insight.  But no one can accurately and consistently tell you which way the market will go.  The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to recognize the overall trend.  It's hard to miss.  Then act accordingly.  I don't trade at the tops and bottoms, but rather within each trend and ALWAYS protect my earnings.  My personal opinion again, but it's better to miss a pump than lose money.  This way, it's possible to grow portfolio value consistently and steadily over time.  But if you take a huge loss, it's game over in some cases. 
Infact, it is always better to know how to use some of the indicators yourself to make a good decision in the market. You can always get it right all the time, but you can at least make good calls if you are smart enough. It is something that I learned the hard way which made me to learn how to trade.

I feel the whole idea of HODL is over rated and even though it is good for those who do not have trading idea or what to look out for, people should remember they can always learn. Why HODL when you can make the best of what you are holding by trading it ?
