4781  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So Bitcoin is better than Gold? on: May 22, 2017, 09:43:59 AM
For investation, bitcoin is winning at the moment since bitcoin value is very high recently.
As for now , I'm invest more on bitcoin rather than gold at the moment , I'm pretty sure that bitcoin will reach $ 2000 before end of the year
That's why bitcoin often be said that it's a short term investment which volatility far surpasses gold. Gold as investment having a stable price and steadily increasing by the time, it's like a property, always increase and rarely decrease. But, bitcoin is a different thing, the volatility behaviour of bitcoin make traders could earn as much profit within the short term of time but also high risk. For people who don't want to suffer from always monitoring the current price of their investment, bitcoin is a disaster.
4782  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Offline Wallets Vs Online Wallets on: May 22, 2017, 09:24:44 AM
It's crystal clear that offline wallets are the best option when you need the security for holding a large amount of bitcoin in a long time. Otherwise, online wallet provides the easiness of accessing your wallet through everywhere, it matches well if you're a trader who always needs to get in touch with your bitcoin every time. Both have the advantages and disadvantages so choose which one you really need.

4783  Economy / Speculation / Re: How MUCH will the FINAL BTC be WORTH? on: May 22, 2017, 06:50:39 AM
Asked before I'm sure.

What ya think?
there is no stable price for it even after 100 years price will still depend on the market
bitcoin is use for exchange even someday it will still the same

That's right. The price of bitcoin is purely based on demand and therefore it's definitely more volatile than many government's currencies. In a nutshell, market which determines the price bitcoin deserves.
by the way, there's no such thing as BTC's final. It's like telling something impossible so basically, this question is rather invalid. No exact answer to this question.
4784  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: $8 fee to send transaction in the next block? on: May 21, 2017, 11:16:43 PM
I am forced to use altcoins to move between exchanges. It does suck having to do that. It makes things a lot more complicated for normal average people who don't want that hassle. Right now BTC is a hassle and costs $$$ in fees.

That is a legitimate reason to move coins through altcoins escape the transaction fee but it does make me consider if we are at the point where there is an exchange arbitrage between sending via different coins.
Well maybe not but kind of like in the olden days where different exchanges had different prices partially because of how much it cost to deposit on the exchange only applied to altcoin sends vs bitcoin ones.
Moving money through altcoins kinda risky, the value may decrease alongside with the fluctuation and not a good thing, I would honestly consider paying a higher fee rather than losing more in the middle of the way.

Wow you must have a ton of inputs. I feel sorry for you, rolling your pennies until you can finally get your $100 bill, then you find out you're going to have to ship the pennies across the world. DAMN!
LOL, maybe he just got his pennies gathered into one place but unfortunately, it's also mean the significant increase of transaction size. No offense guys  Grin .
4785  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a source of income? on: May 21, 2017, 09:24:03 AM
I know someone that only rely in bitcoin and even it is profitable that is quite too hard. Well if you are the person that can earn .1btc per day then I guess its ok to leave your job now. That is quite enough for a day expenses.
What's the use of leaving a job for the sake of uncertain earning even if it's .1btc per day? I would definitely prefer to keep my job as my main income and consider bitcoin as my side job. Both will give benefits of its own and therefore the earning will be higher than doing one. Bitcoin doesn't guarantee to always give you a damn huge earning, it'll eventually face it ends.
4786  Economy / Economics / Re: Is trading just educated guessing? on: May 21, 2017, 08:52:14 AM
Nope. I don't think that trading is just educated guessing because if you are a true trader, you will not just guess what will be the price or the move of a particular cryptocurrency coin because you will do a lot of research and a lot of analyzation because that is how you things can be done especially the decisions that you will make in your trading journey great.
Absolutely,a trader does marketing analysis,financial analysis and does his own research about the coin he is going to invest.He also notices the latest projects and developments which would influence the market and finally decides to take any move on trading.If its just a guess work,then it would not be called trading and it would just resemble gambling.
What if the analyzation and research you just have done gone wrong? Isn't it just an educated guessing after all? there's no obvious result of the research that it's actually just pure speculation.
Predicting the price movements of a crypto coin is like predicting the future, everything is biased and a guess. There's also some project which successfully developed but doesn't affect the price of a token and it means that project itself doesn't really influence the price.
4787  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: $0.85 transaction fee is absolutely ridiculous! on: May 21, 2017, 08:41:16 AM
Unconfirmed transaction every friday to sunday is crazily high. I dont know if there is a manipulation happening but i just cant stand to it. We need to solve this kind of problem
Well, the transaction fee is not the real issue since anyone could put whatever transaction fee with their transaction.
I typically send my transactions with a 0.0001 BTC fee so that's around $0.19 if I had to get it calculated in USD.

$0.19 is not that much compared to most posts within this forum that complain on their fees being $1 or more.

My transactions get confirmed without any issues, I just accelerate my transactions and most get confirmed within 24 hours or less.

May I know which wallet you are using? Because here I am using coinbase wallet. It consumes 0.00059 btc as fees for the transaction. It's getting confirmed in 40 minutes but fees seems to high for me. If you let me the wallet you are using. Then I will able to save some amount from the high fees I am using.

I am using blockchain it self. It takes more thsn 12 hrs before my transaction was confirmed. Plus the fact that i pay more than $1 at that time. I usually send amounts during fridays
Changing wallet doesn't change the fact that the actual requirements for your transaction to be confirmed fastly is the fee and be sure to set it up above the current recommended rate. Whether it's blockchain.info, coinbase, or another shitty online wallet, it's all the same because if you just give the right amount of fee which matches for your transaction's size, it'll get confirmed fastly.
4788  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin transaction fees fair? on: May 21, 2017, 08:24:01 AM
Why is that fair?
They should get payed more because bitcoin is worth more?
They are already being payed more because 1Btc in transaction fees is double from what was two months ago.
That's the point. Those miners absurdly got more than twice of their profits from a few months ago and it's definitely unfair. Though, I know obviously that the factor which makes the fee increasing overwhelmingly is the crowd which had no patience and the increase of transactions. A few days ago, the fee just reached 420sats/byte and now go back to 230sats/byte. It exactly reflects how the amount of unconfirmed transaction really affect the current fee rates, from the miners perspective, it's fair ofc because they own all the profit.
4789  Other / Off-topic / Re: is worth to buy bitcoins? on: May 20, 2017, 11:38:54 AM
Lads,
what do you think is it a good time to buy some btc right now?
I know I know maybe it isn't the best time (I though the same a month ago when it was 1300 and now I am butthurting so bad, what a fool am I?)
but still if btc price will eventually grow to 5k in close future it is still profit, right?
Altough, what are the other good coins to invest? I missed the moment with Ripple and now its dumb to jump there, what are others? LTC, Monero, golem, stellar?
Nah, better finds some guy who offers trading signal as service because they're already professional on analyzing a coin. And that's right, it's definitely not the best time to buy bitcoin, has too much risk and potential at the same time, better to wait for some moment, but, if the price suddenly increases you'll butthurt again so it's up to you actually. I ain't fortune teller nor professional trader, the movement on the crypto world is just unpredictable.
4790  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][CrowdSale] NVO Decentralized Exchange | Multi Wallet 🌟🌟🌟 Escrows 🌟🌟🌟 on: May 20, 2017, 07:46:48 AM
0.2% fee per trade is competitive!? I doubt that.
Pretty competitive if you compare with Bittrex or Poloniex. But, I think it'll be far better if the fee will decrease alongside with the increase of trades volume for every user. Just my 2 cents though.
Keep in mind that those exchanges I mentioned are centralized whereas NVO definitely has advantage which is decentralized.
4791  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin sucks ass but price still rises- how come on: May 20, 2017, 07:32:57 AM
Those whales seem to keep their money on exchanges and therefore the current shitty crowd which occur in blockchain really don't bother them. The demands are still there even if many transactions are stuck because the only factor that could make the price increase is demands and while many bitcoin still stuck, the supply currently lower than usual. Theoretically, it's a kind of normal thing to happen but, however, if the scalability problem could be solved as soon as possible, the price might increase, who knows?

I still have a current transaction that would be considered have a high transaction fee, but now, leading to the turn out events, the transaction has increased dramatically and my transaction has never been confirmed even after a week. I am becoming impatient everyday and I hope there could be a solution to the problem that would lead to having the average transaction fee.

Supposedly, within a week, a transaction will be rejected if it's not gets confirmed. If more than a week your transaction is still there, something must have gone wrong.
4792  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The fees are crazy, 420 satoshis/byte, WHY? on: May 20, 2017, 07:21:24 AM

stop using BTC all together is another possibility

Bitcoin was intended to be a tool for the masses, Not just privileged people. It was made to free people from the extortion of the banks.. Right now the miners have become the big banks.. And bitcoin is becoming more of a tool for elites.. If this continues and no consensus reached.. Bitcoin will lose its purpose..
I thought that it's already lost its purpose. The current fee is already crazy and now appear many accelerators which require you to pay some amount of bitcoin which is highly expensive compared to the normal fee for the exchange of faster confirmation. I know the accelerator's providers aren't forcing you but for those who are in need of their money have no choice but to use this service.
Such a pity for the faucet hunters who more likely to have bigger transaction size while their earning are pretty low.
4793  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be used in space? on: May 19, 2017, 09:14:57 AM
I am also just wandering will astronauts need bitcoin or other money in their travelling through the Universe?
 

Yeah, astronauts don't need bitcoin, because the money that their families going to need is going to be provided by their government, if I'm not wrong. And there is no need for them to use bitcoin because there is fiat, and that is the currency where they have been used to, and using bitcoin is another story that they need to read for them to understand it.

I think OP is talking about the far far future when many people will be travelling through the Universe on a regular basis. IMO Bitcoin will replace all the money by that time and of course it will be used in space.
There's no guarantee, in the "far far future" you're talking about, every country might have already owned some kind of digital cash and of course it's controllable for them. Honestly, I even think that bitcoin might not have existed in the "far far future" its technology will probably become obsolete and the newest technology just born.
Fiat is indeed will be inexistent because it's taking too many natural resources and also add up the logging. It's better to get rid of it since many years ago when the internet was invented.

Stop using that crappy wallet first if you don't want to get more problem.
The bitcoin which was sent to your previous market address I'm pretty sure that it's also part of the market's wallet that you can simply contact that thing you called "market" by giving the proof of transaction, otherwise they'll not know. It should work but it's all depends on them to decide so.

i didn't see my country on your list apparently it is excluded but it doesn't matter for me because bitcoin being popular too in my country even still not reach 30 positions yet however in Japan also population of bitcoin users has increasing and i wonder why this country is not on your list too
More population of bitcoin users in a specific country doesn't mean the number of trades was made within a day will drastically increasing, maybe the majority of bitcoin users in japan are always holding that rarely convert their bitcoin or at least use it for trading. Professional traders could make so many trades in a day while a holder will rarely make a trade. It's kinda normal thing because the list above based on how much a country's trades withing specific time.
4797  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to make governments accept bitcoin? on: May 13, 2017, 08:57:13 AM
btc will never be accepted by governments as its a threat to their fiat printing Ponzi scheme

You are wrong, do you know that Japan did accepted bitcoin so the point that you said btc will never accepted by the government is wrong. They are only thinking on the other side but they are not looking on the good side of bitcoin so it's a shame for them when they found out that bitcoin is going to help them grow their economy.
If the accepted you just mentioned here is referring to bitcoin recognised as an alternate option for payment then it's right. But, bitcoin actually have a low chance to be officially recognised by the government as the main currency taking over the older. It's like the government is giving up their whole economy. But, as you can see, even if bitcoin only considered as an alternate, it's still a good thing because it'll have wider coverage, not going to expect more because bitcoin is basically created to make freedom out of current financial rule and it's really the opposite of the reason why government exists.

Guys, is your service working right now? I have been trying to send my transcation for past 24 hours
Could you make it paid service? Customers are ready to pay for this

there are some service that requires payment for pushing your transaction, you should try this but the fee is not cheap tho

https://pushtx.btc.com/
Once you use that services in which you're be obligated to pay some bucks for the sake of speeding up your transaction, you just lost the point of using bitcoin for its cheap fee (even if now's that not cheap anymore).
But well, for some whale, few bucks doesn't really matter as long as their money could arrive fastly. How about just buying a contract on viabtc and uses the special privilege of accelerating transaction? is it worth it?.
4799  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if, we advertise bitcoin on T.V.? on: May 13, 2017, 06:51:21 AM
it's realy good, people will start search about bitcoin info, but in the otherside there are also many ppl who will not support bitcoin. I think bitcoin will easily hit $3000 for 1 btc if anyone one to advertise on TV for 2 month
Right on this, things will be good with that, and big pump will be coming if we advertise on television even in radio. Many investors will be more interested on our community and things will be good and smooth, but for sure there will be bushers that will come too.
Nah, I rarely see big investors watching a TV or even listening to a radio, I guess they live in luxury that they just need to buy a life membership of sort services like Netflix and avoids all those ads. Only ordinary people could be attracted but whom investors nowaday don't know exactly what is bitcoin. Investors are always looking for the promising project and will never miss a big chance supposedly.
4800  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Satoshi reveals himself, what would be of Bitcoin? on: May 13, 2017, 06:40:09 AM
It would better if the real creator of bitcoin will be hiding for the rest of his life ,like what he do when he first introduce it to the world. If satoshi revealed his true identity it will make a large impact on the price of bitcoin.
He'll not reveal his ID forever, there's just a too much complicated upcoming problem he's going to face if he just simply reveals his true identity and such a bad and not wise move for someone who holds so many coins.
Well, someone even considers that satoshi already dead but who knows, every year, there's always someone claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto but can't prove it.
Whether the impact which will affect bitcoin if satoshi reveals his identity is good or bad, it doesn't matter, the time will answer.
