6221  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My original Coinmarketcap.com bookmark makes me nostalgic on: July 22, 2018, 04:47:57 PM
Coinmarketcap is just trying to spam the title tag for ranking with some "not popular coins". Old school method from 2010 haha. Pretty sure if you check in 3 months some coins will be added and/or removed.
Basically, it could just something like Crypto Market Capitalization (and moon)

An influx of institutional investors...like what?
Besides Blackrock what institution did you hear about investing in cryptocurrency? You're making it like if GAFA injected 10 trillion dollars in cryptos last week lol
Don't make the fish bigger than it is

No Terms and conditions, not Privacy policy, nothing? Just a static page?
No information about the company, I can't even know with who I am dealing with. I checked the 3 websites and I can only see that the company is supposed to be registered in UK (which can be done online for some bucks) I can't even see the company numbers.
No roadmap/contact/FAQ and so on with ibitt.co the pages don't exist
6224  Other / Off-topic / Re: Someone told me those who invest in bitcoin are occults. on: July 22, 2018, 07:38:51 AM
We are called open minded and looking forward type of people. We care and aware of what the future might bring, which may include blockchain technology, bitcoin of course. Another thing is, it is  not our lost if they do not believe in what we do.

Because you have a religion doesn't mean you are closed minded. At least if everyone had a religion the world could be a lot better. It can be considered offensive to call religious people primitive

I received the shock of my life when someone asked me for an investment advice and Ii told her that the future of all time investment is to invest in bitcoin.Seriously she told him that is for occult people and she will not consider that option.I tried all angles but it did not work.So I came to a conclusion that some people cannot to rich due to over religious believes.views

Not sure if telling people to "invest" in Bitcoin is a wise thing. What about if you told her when the price was at $20,000 and she invested? Nwo the price is about $7,500. How is it the best investment? Sure you can say "but the price will go up!" It's something nobody can be sure, even Nostradamus. Secondly saying to invest in Bitcoin while Bitcoin is not an investment, it's a currency
6225  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Why Bitcoin is better than banknotes on: July 21, 2018, 08:57:24 PM
The infographic shows the 10 most popular banknotes worldwide with its anti-counterfeiting security.
There are thousands of million dollars counterfeit circulating worldwide. Just in The US the FED said 7.3 We conclude that the total value of counterfeits in circulation at any moment is approximately $70 million or about one note in 10,000, and is highly unlikely to exceed
$200 million, or about 2.5 in 10,000.


it's costly for the society (more regulations, more resources to deter, individual or business accepting it accidentally >direct loss,...) Counterfeit money exists since the Ancient Rome at least, and it can destroy a government and its economy. Even the Nazis were counterfeiting the USD and GBP (Operation Bernhard) If only 1% of your circulating currency is fake your government is out. It can't borrow money anymore, business will stop to accept the currency, and since it's the only one, then the economy will be dead.

Do you know how many Bitcoin has ever been counterfeited since10 years? ZERO !

6226  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ZEN] ZenCash: Private, Secure, Resilient CryptoCurrency with zk-SNARKs on: July 21, 2018, 07:19:15 PM

so how can you tell how many coins are in existence? :\ hmmm

https://twitter.com/zooko/status/863543600663101440
PoW block reward: 12.5 ZEN
here you can find every block http://explorer.zenmine.pro/insight/ all blocks are recorded!!!

last one is 345944 x 12.5 = 4,324,300

All transactions are there, but you can't find sender, recipient and amount in shielded address,
 but this does not mean the are not recorded in Block, this is heritage from ZCASH.

the exchanges know...! when you send to the exchange they can see how many coins you sent? Wink hmmm

LOL you're funny

But just to let you know Zencash has 2 different addresses types. making a rich list is firstly useless and secondly not possible.
Welcome to privacy!
6227  Economy / Speculation / Re: ETF approving in August, how much will affect the price? on: July 21, 2018, 06:58:09 PM
While most people are saying the Bitcoin price will increase up to the $40,000. I am joining extasie opinion and asking at the same time:
If the decision is negative what do you think will happen to the price? A big slap like it got previously already! Bitcoin could below the $,5000
6228  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ~BTC in Medical Industry on: July 21, 2018, 06:48:04 PM
Hospitals will never accept to pay with Bitcoin, soon people will ask when the hospitals will accept Amazon gift card.
Regarding the medical field, I know a dentist accepting Bitcoin, but it's not because it adds another payment option it's because he is a bitcoiner for years.
6229  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Blockchain Company Seeking Community Manager on: July 21, 2018, 05:01:38 PM
According to the instructions on the OP, you should hire a full team for community management, that it is almost impossible for just one user to manage and help grow your communities at Reddit, BitCoinTalk, Discord, Betweenblocks, Steemit, Quora, Medium, MeetUp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube...  The offer could be a great opportunity for those believing in their community management skills but what are you asking for here seems to be a challenge more than an offer.

It is possible, you can't say if 1 person is enough or not if you don't know the size of the community to manage before. And what the OP is asking is the basis for a community manager. I mean a real one, not a Bitcointalk CM. If the business is recent someone working only part-time is enough. Also when a company/project is looking for a community manager they already now their need
6230  Economy / Economics / Re: Politicians fear cryptocurrency because it will stop corruption. on: July 21, 2018, 03:35:53 PM
Corruption will always exist, with or without cryptocurrencies. Your point is invalid, especially since you didn't argument about the "transparency" of the cryptos. Also, if your point is the transparency, then what about the privacy-centric cryptos? Because <with them there is no transparency and full anonymity.
6231  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does anyone have a blockchain council membership? on: July 21, 2018, 02:52:49 PM
Well, it doesn't hurt to improve your knowledge, there are always some things new to learn, otherwise, the life would be boring.
The reasons are because it could help with my job, (here experience and knowledge are not enough, you need to show proofs) and secondly for fun. I am not going to make one with photoshop because there is no use, photoshop is not going to teach you about the clockchain technology and secondly you can go to prison for this

While using cryptocurrency keep in mind that you are linked with different people of world in a blockchain. Whole chain is link in such a way that every new entry is linked in series with older. Every old user get some benefits from evey newcomer. But there is no council regarding this.

no idea what you are talking about...
6232  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN DRAINING ALTCOINS AGAIN? on: July 20, 2018, 08:22:14 PM
The market dominance is not something reliable to consider. Everyone could create a coin with a 30 trillion supply and send it one sell in an exchange
Bitcoin hasn't failed to $6400, the lowest is about $7300

I am sorry but nobody will be able to help you directly
6234  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BMW now accepts Bitcoin as a payment! on: July 20, 2018, 08:00:50 PM
Official tweet from Stephen james company:
https://twitter.com/SJBMWGroup/status/1014887028746571777

See yourself. The car dealership isn"t talking on behalf of BMW but for himself. If I say I have bitcoins to sell and I accept US Dollars it doesn't mean the federal reserve is now accepting BTC
this is a lot different than BMW now accepting Bitcoin as a payment
6235  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / 1 company owns over 100 Bitcoin/Blockchain businesses on: July 20, 2018, 05:25:30 PM
Coindesk, Kraken, Coinbase, Ledger, Luno, Etherscam, Bitflyer and so on... All belong to the Digital Currency Group.
While the company claims to be "The epicenter of the bitcoin and blockchain industry" I started to wonder if they should change with
"The lobby centre of the bitcoin and blockchain industry"

Do you see the pyramid? It's like the media, there are thousands but all of them belong to a few dozens. See what the journalism becomes today.
I don't blame them if they are successful but what about the influence, conflict of interest
6236  Economy / Speculation / Re: wow, bitcoin's price is increasing again! on: July 20, 2018, 05:05:46 PM
Did anyone noticed this today in the afternoon? All the top 100 coins listed on Coinmarketcap was in red (about 10%) the only one that was in green  was Bitcoin. 99 others coins where losing 10% or more
I hope the trend won't fade after the ETF decision
6237  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BMW now accepts Bitcoin as a payment! on: July 20, 2018, 04:56:08 PM
I too didn't find any other sources that the 2 links posted, and the french link posted is well known to be not reliable. The second is a blog where everyone can write

Quote
Stephen James BMW, a BMW and MINI car dealership based in South-East England sent out a tweet which said that BMW will now support payment of Bitcoins for their services.

The tweet said:

“Stephen James is now accepting Bitcoin for the purchase of your new BMW! Contact us today to find out more about how you can use Bitcoin to walk away with a brand-new Vehicle #bitcoin #bitpay.”

The article isn't saying BMW car dealership but ...Stephen James... a car dealership based in South-East England
6238  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: BTCgrinders.com - bitcoin and crypto rewards site on: July 19, 2018, 09:57:54 PM
There is something that could be useful for both the site and its users. A comment system that users could use to write a feedback about the site they used. It could be to say how the site is or about the commission. You could reward some cents per review (for a verified sale/deposit) let's say $0.10. A user could post one review only per site.
Review of the website used in general or about the system? For instance, the sportsbet.io website listed here under the Sports section has a bad reputation on bitcointalk. I would like if BTCgrinders add something like a warning before using the service?

Additionally if you're looking to add others cryptos, perhaps Ripple and Dogecoin?
Doesn't it really depend on the services that are using the coin? It would be futile adding a coin which has no acceptance market.

Review(good or bad)  about the sites they sign up to get a cashback from BTCgrinders.com It's up to BTCgrinders to partner with a decent site and removes if needed. Adding a warning message is not really useful for some reasons: The site is not supposed to work as a rating website and need to stay neutral, in the same time the comments will be there to give an alert. Additionally, BTCgrinders has no use to list a website that no one will use
6239  Other / Meta / Re: Wall of fame / shame. Shit posts so bad that they are actually funny on: July 19, 2018, 09:13:00 PM
Monero is a good coin. I already saw her mention in several feature films. Many put it on a par with bitcoin and Ethereum, cool!!

I laughed with this one. I don't watch TV so I don't know but I was ready to google to know if it is true.

Montero has a great future ahead of him.Montero is a great platform


How can you know if Montero has "a great future" if you don't even know the coin (you can not spell it correctly)


I am going to the movie theater hoping to see Montero since it seems to have some great reviews about her

 Mastercard is already working on cryptocurrency/blockchain for some years. And last year the company started to open its blockchain to banks and merchants as an alternative for cross-border payments. It's supposed to be more efficient but it's maybe not... because until now I have never heard about a merchant or a bank working with the Mastercard blockchain
