121  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin forks on: May 02, 2019, 07:43:57 PM
I wasn't around the crypto scene for some time. I was wondering If there are some forks that I missed and that are worth claiming?

I only claimed BTG and BCH and sold them instantly back in the day, are there are in others that are preferably easy to get access to and to exchange (without KYC).
There are so many fork that have happened in the crypto space since then until now, but the problem is that some of them were not hyped as that of bch and btg this is why we never heard about them, but if you have some bitcoin in your wallet before the forked occurred, then I think you can still reclaim those coin, just go to google and search out those projects that have created a bitcoin fork and then check the timing of the fork to see if you can benefit from them or not, once the time id okay, then go to the website to claim coin.

I believe that you are aware of this famous topic by LoyceV : LoyceV's Bitcoin Fork claiming guide (and service). There you may find all the fruitful forks and detailed steps on how to claim them.

Other than BTC based forks, I heard that LTC based forks also had happened. Not sure about its success and current price levels. But, just googling will get you all the needed answers.

I myself have the focus of having more fiat than bitcoin because at one time bitcoin will definitely be replaced by something more useful and of course bitcoin will be worth no more
but for now bitcoin is more focused than gold, so we have a similar focus but some people see opportunities in bitcoin and have many assets in it
As far as we have cashless policy in the sector and online payment system, Bitcoin will always be the lead amongst them all, it is even cash that I see loosing relevance soon but not completely because everyone is virtually getting introduced to BTC and using it in one form or the other for payment purpose and this is how it will continue to spread all over the world. The fiat you have been more focused on, how far has it solved your situation ?

The only set of people I see not buying into the idea are people that lack the operation of technology and illiterates that will rely more on cash to something that has to do with technology.
123  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are IEO's bad? on: May 02, 2019, 01:41:11 PM
My understanding for IEOs is basically instead of project handling raising funds etc. It will be for an exchange to do so.

An IEO hosted by Yobit or Binance can clearly not be compared. In other words, the exchange gives more credibility to the project regardless of whether it's worth it or not.

Am I the only one who thinks this is actually a bad thing and make people focus on the exchange hosting rather than the actual project and what the team is offering etc.?
The 3 things you mentioned must follow each other; they are interwoven and should be applied during decision making.
It matters to know the exchange the project is listing on, the project itself matters and the team matters. We understand that the exchanges are already using their own discretion to credit and discredit projects based on the quality of the project.

It is still not enough to base our judgment on other’s opinion as we all have different ways of viewing things; we also need to still research of the project and the team even if exchanges have guaranteed us of security with them. We should see it as if exchanges have only help us shortlist the project for us to pick the best from through further research.
124  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: does the bull market has started ?? on: May 02, 2019, 08:48:42 AM
It is right that most of the coins have raised in price than last year. And btc also raised from 3k$ to 5600$ and now stable above 5000$ since a month. So it looks like markets recovery started. But I don't think that bull market already started because any time BTC can go below 4500$ from now and we can see another blood birth of alts coin.
At first, I usually think that the market has completely recovered and fully into the bull run, but seems I was a bit faster than my shadow and like you stated, the market is still not fully out of the bear market, so we still need to be a little bit patient and hope to have some new large institutions will come in to make the price stair up.

I know that before the end of this year, the market will fully recover and set part on the next bull run that will also make the prices of all altcoins that are still active skyrocket, but if the price touches back to $4500 as you said, we may not need large institutions again, because many people including already existing investors will panic buy and the accumulation of the purchases will shoot the price of the coin up.
125  Economy / Economics / Re: China's Proposal To Ban Cryptocurrency Mining Has Little To Do With Environment on: May 02, 2019, 07:25:30 AM
I don’t believe on China anymore and they are just trying to control its people. Chinese government are just ruining the sea on the south China sea so how can they become an environmentalist when they have hidden agenda. There’s a big political on the bitcoin mining ban, they can’t play like this in long term.
I also believe that whatever china is doing to ban cryptocurrency is political, because I read in news recently where they are supporting cryptocurrency program in Malaysia and here in their country, they are planning to ban it. Another thing I see is that, it might just be a threat and away to get attention of the miners to submit to them for regulation.

Government will never support whatever they will not benefit from, I am waiting for anther news very soon that will talk about the cancellation of the decision they have made to lift the ban. Crypto is very important to their economy and they would have also realized that they need it the most, so they will have no choice than to also embrace it.
126  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How is a day of a crypto trader? on: May 02, 2019, 05:00:56 AM
If you have something else to do, you better invest crypto for long term.
It still can give you profit more than 400% just I got over 4 years and still counting.

If you focus on short term trading, you must resign with your current work !
Nah, that can’t be true, he must rely to participate in trading, that is why it is called short term trading and not full term trading, I believe a short term trader would not be expecting to make as much as what a full term trader is making.

We have some jobs that can still give one chance to having access to the trading platform, and like he said, I think he has all the evening to himself after work, so there is so much he can’t still, if he is serious before bed time, even if it is to place order and set his stop loss, it is better than not even doing any at all. 

Long term holding is also a very good deal, but man needs more money on a daily basis to meet up with our daily needs and it is only short term trading that can guarantee that.
127  Economy / Economics / Re: The BIS has attributed the volatility of bitcoin to the lack of a central bank on: May 01, 2019, 06:28:47 PM
The Fiat central bank has been controlling for a while, what achievement have they gotten on it other than the currency falling into the pocket of few people to enrich themselves at the detriment of the poor people. We don’t need the involvement of central bank in cryptocurrency because once they get involved; the coin will be regulated and become a stable coin.

We need the volatility now to really be able to make money through it, when bitcoin speeded up to almost $20,000 in the last bull, if the market had not fallen back, would there have been chance for holdlers now to buy and become rich in future ? Even if BTC will become stable, let it gradually work its path through it in future when we have massive adoption.
128  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Future of Dogecoin, will its Price (DOGE/USD) Surge Again? on: May 01, 2019, 08:27:02 AM
Almost last three years I check doge is not profitable altcoin because always lower and drop price, keep it better on other coins if you want to hold your assets because doge is not on higher price.
If you say they have been existing for 3 years now, does that mean that the last altcoins bull still did not affect them? Because almost all coins, even the shit ones rose in the last altcoins bull run. I understand that when a price has been dumped, it really takes a longer time for them to start showing signs of positive increase, and the best is to be patient with them, because if they had done it before, they can still do it again. If we check their team and they are still hardworking, there is nothing bad in investing in them; one day they might start getting great investors that will increase their value and ours.

I was happy to read your article about DOGE coins because I am holding some too until you said the price increase was based on the hype Elon Musk and the rest created for it, which means that the price you see was a pumped one and not natural increase that will last long.

Any Pumped coin will surely dump and when it dumped, it would become so deep for them to recover again, so I would not be buying more and I might just take the step of withdrawing my allocations first and buy back when the price dumps. Any healthy coin does not need to be pumped for it to gain and increase in value.
129  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BitcoinTalk Was Featured On Tipestry on: May 01, 2019, 07:27:24 AM
Indeed there are a lot of projects who scam and people who got scammed not only on that project, but i wish people do more research and not invest on all projects because there are a lot of scam project than legit.

we have too many projects coming up and in the market, they are running into thousands, how many of them does one want to successfully research on, considering the time it takes to do this?
So, long one is still interested in making money in the cryptocurrency market, we keep researching until we get a particular one we can rely on and even if is one good project that we invest in, it is far more worth it than having hundreds of projects that are scam in one’s portfolio.

For existing projects, we can just limit our research to top 20 coins and also some coins that are on the internet with very high reviews, why the one that are pre ICO, I am sure that for now, we don’t have more than 15 ICOs coming as new per day, we can simply do research on 15 of them a day, we have to do whatever it takes for us to be successful in this industry, we cannot allow scammers to kill our dreams just like that.
130  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scammers running free on: April 30, 2019, 08:20:07 PM
It is so sad that many people are trying to earn in a legal way and then this scammers just do fraudulent things and make scam thingy and just get some other people's money for free. I think there is no law for scammers online, yet they are continuing what they do to make easy money from what they scammed. But i hope they would come such time that scammers can get rid off and be banned forever here.
Well. I don’t see this stopping soon as long as we are running on a blockchain technology, you know that the main purpose of a blockchain technology already for peer to peer interaction, and how it is able to fully create an anonymous identity for its usage, but since we user has personally found a way through it ourselves to make money, we just have to deal with it, because that was not the original purpose of it development.

It is left to us to use every means that is within our power to put an end to this ICO scam, which the only way we can do so is just to continue to deeply make a research on the projects first, if we make a research and we are sure of the project, then we can assist our friends by introducing such certified project to them, which would also encourage them to do so after seeing the positive effect.
131  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trader for Hire on: April 30, 2019, 07:04:39 PM
lets be careful to not easily trust somebody  because our money is at stake here  . the point of hiring a trader is simply for a busy person or if a person wants to trade but he is scared because  he lacks knowledge  .

 though its still better to take the risk yourself and if you loose dont be discourage because that is a lesson that will improve you to become a better trader  .  trading bots on the other hand are more trusted if you already have some knowledge on trading .
Someone hiring a trader because he is busy is still understandable but the excuse of hiring trader because of lack of knowledge is not an excuse, the trader they are relying on too does not know everything all and he is still opened to more knowledge, if the trader can do it, then the person hiring can also do it too.

We just need to first be patient in rushing into trading or deciding to trade, trading market is something that would never die and will always be there anytime we are ready for it, so we need to first go for the knowledge first, if we still feel weak in understanding after going for the knowledge, then we can consider hiring a trader, and when we do, the little knowledge we have acquired will still help us in making some certain decisions.
132  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best options for advertising face to face bitcoin for cash? on: April 30, 2019, 01:03:50 PM
The energy these people are using to enforce KYC on people or their users, if they can only channel the energy on making crypto adoption solid, by creating more awareness. KYC is not a bad thing though, as we all understand the main reason why it is needed, but we have come to realize that people that should not have any need for KYC like the site you mentioned are now enforcing it on people.

I don’t know anything that can be done that much to control it and it seems to many people as if it is already going out of the line of blockchain technology, which may be part of the things discouraging crypto investment too.
133  Economy / Economics / Re: Can you share Bitcoin percentage in your portfolio? on: April 30, 2019, 09:25:07 AM
This is not important to discuss, but it's for general curiosity. I hold over 100 coins and tokens but most of them found in airdrops so they have near zero value. I only have 11 including BTC that I invested and really care about. I don't want to name all of them but as of today, nearly 66% percent (based on BTC price, not fiat) of my portfolio fills with Bitcoin.
Can you share your percentage of BTC holding? Kindly, only count coins that have value.
I have been a bounty hunter for a very long time and I have earned so much coin from hunting, which I have gained in some of them during the last altcoins bull run, it was from the money I gained that I used in investing in the top coin we have today, looking at my portfolio, I have it in 3 parts for security purpose, one is for pepper invest and the percentage of it is 70% of Bitcoin.

Other portfolio like the second on is filled with some of these coins I have already made money from and some that I got before bounty stopped paying, while the last of my portfolio is filled with coins that I get through air drops, but that in is almost empty now because I don’t keep airdrop coins for long term investment, I change the ones that has entered exchange immediately and cash them out no matter how little.
134  Economy / Speculation / Re: Don't Fomo , 3800$ incoming ? on: April 29, 2019, 02:10:53 PM
$3800 is indeed in the realm of possibilities. To be honest, I am also waiting for that price point before I buy some serious stacks. It is not a certain thing but I'd say the possibilites for it to happen is higher than %50. Maybe not exactly $3800 but $3920 or $4100 for example.

I would start filling up my bags as soon as it falls below $4500.
It is better we don’t raise people’s hope because this value being speculated is really going to get so much investors, so it is not a bad news that Bitcoin falls to $3800, this value will open door for the market of bull run because it will be a very good way for more investors to buy this price in large amount, I am sure people that are even already with coins will still buy more of it.

Large institutions are the ones that will invest the most at this value and this is what we really need during this time, because massive investments by these large institutions will cause a very big spike in the price of Bitcoin marketcap and the general market cap of altcoins too.
135  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think? on: April 29, 2019, 11:10:28 AM
Right now maybe is not good moment for bitcoin and altcoin because price still lower and many ICO was failed and scam with lower price after listing on exchange market, by the way we need some thing bigger how to make bitcoin back to higher price.
And that point is where the issue is coming from, the pint of price, we always fell the coins are not performing well once they don’t increase in value, why are they called utility tokens, what was BTC created for? To make payments and when it comes to making payment, it means a sender must make payment, while the receiver receives it and cash it out.

This is happening a lot in the crypto world, millions of dollars are being exchange every day and cashed out, so this coins are really doing what they are being created for, we just need to hope that instead of that receiver cashing the coin out, it will get to a point where they will rely on the system to leave it in their wallet, because the more they sell, the lesser the marketcap that is needed to increase the value of the coins reduces.
136  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: trading bitcoin on: April 28, 2019, 07:23:36 AM
Welcome to the world of cryptocurrency trading newbie, you have entered an arena of a lifetime opportunity, but before you fully get involved, you must know that Trading is not a child’s play thing, you must already have the FULL knowledge, strategy and patience to trade Bitcoin in this volatile market.

First step into buying bitcoin to trade with is to look for a local exchange around you or on the internet, I do not know which country you came from, but I am sure that definitely you will have one around, deposit you fiat for them to give you BTC in return, from there, you will transfer your BTC to trading exchange like binance for trading, I recommended binance because they are still the most reliable exchange if you want your money to be safe and they have a very low trading fee that will make you have more profit ahead of other exchanges’ traders.
137  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Do not use Coinbase on: April 27, 2019, 09:00:07 AM
Do not use Coinbase! They have extremely poor service and will not support you if you ever encounter issues logging in. Instead, they will write a generic response to your ticket and immediately close it. If any major bank tried to pull this they would get buried in lawsuits.

Again, avoid this service at all costs. Forget their greedy 5% fees on deposits/withdrawals - it doesn't even matter if you can't get your BTC or USD back period. That's a 100% fee.
I have known this company for a long time and they have never disappointed me, I don’t know the issue you are having with them , but has not really affected majority of people, your experience with them might be a bitter one, but it is not enough to pull the crowd along in your decision.

What if it was just a simple technical issue, we don’t even have the details of your real challenge for us to follow your advice, the only challenge you have mentioned here is your mail not being attended to, maybe you should push a little further, Facebook once did something of such to me because of many client on queue for them to attend to, but I had to push a little bit more till the resolved my issue.

If I wasn’t patient then, I would have probably come on one of these threads to tarnish their image.
138  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance is Becoming a Crypto Monopoly on: April 26, 2019, 09:22:14 AM
I tried to get in Binance IEO and failed for whatever reason and  I was a little angry but it was okay but what really got to my nerve and made I started to think similar to what you wrote in this thread in the new requirement they added for people to be able to join their so-called IEO, they are trying hard to pump BNB which I think is a very dangerous and bad move because they are giving BNB tokens a value that is totally fake and build only on the desire of joining the upcoming BNB, well I love Binance but I do not like their latest moves which made me withdraw my money from there ( Binance was the only exchange that I was feeling safe holding my money on it).

100% Agree having all this control in a field that built on Decentralization is hmm.. I can't really come with proper words to describe it.
You should understand why it is a little difficult for people to get to participate in IEO project on Binance, you are not the only one that has not been able to successfully participate, I have not also, and I hold no grudges against them, I know that it is a phase that will soon pass.

You and I know how we have many investors that are desperately interested in investing, but has been discouraged because of the ICO scam, now that they have a chance already, we have thousands of investors always lined up to invest in an IEO project once they see one, so it becomes a matter of first come and first serve which all depends on our speed and the speed of our internet/system.

Binance do not just take any project, they screen it thoroughly to see that such project is really worth it and that is why they have few of them, if they really wanted to pump BNB, they can do it easily by just simply allowing all manner of projects to come on platform which will be more than enough for everyone to participate, and then we end up getting scammed. Is that what we want again?
139  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - Will We Get a Strong Trend Reversal Signal? on: April 26, 2019, 08:36:24 AM
i'm pretty confident we'll see much lower prices (low $4ks or high $3ks at least) over the next couple months.

That sounds good to me.

The only thing that makes me somewhat question a strong downward movement is that Tether printed another 300 million units yesterday, which doesn't happen for nothing. They'll either be used to short the crap out of Bitcoin, or buy up whatever sellers will be dumping in their buy orders. In less than a month 800 million units were created, that's some crazy shit.

A retest of the 200wma $3600-$3700 isn't out of the question and would also be a healthy move. Back in 2015 we also found support at that moving average, and that more than once.
Initially, I usually box everyone that predict the downfall of the value of bitcoin to $3k trend, but it came to a point where I see it as what will really be an opportunity for me, then I begging to think that the $3k value might be the major breakout point we have been waiting for, because I can vow that the FOMO around that value will be too much that the price of bitcoin will rapidly grow to $10,000 from the number of buys then.

It is just a sad thing that it isn’t going to happen again, there is nothing I have seen or will see that will ever force the price of bitcoin down again, so let us not be deceived by our predictions, bitcoin is already on the lane to the moon and very soon, the run will happen fast.
140  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bittrex locked me out on: April 26, 2019, 07:25:42 AM
Well, you caused it, there is not much to wish you can change about the KYC policy they are all being crazy about, that KYC has gone so deep into them and I see no form of action or rebellious attitude that will make then change their position.

It is their company and they have the right to make a policy that suits their business even if it doesn’t favor us, rather than fighting it, we can just simply follow the request if we have found ourselves in and walk out after getting what we want to look for an exchange that doesn’t require KYC. I have done KYC on only 2 exchanges and I dint think it is that terrible as we think, provided we don’t go about dropping of KYC on every exchanges.
