By request from a telegram bot if it's possible, without any doubt (at least for me). Better would be to be able to use custom commands if it's possible for example: /BTC or /top. I am not a regular Telegram's user so have no idea if it's do-able, just suggesting

Yes if you deal with a big amount the difference can be big (like +$1,000 while making a 1BTC deal in your example).
But when you think about it, it's just a 10% difference in the price. And of course, you can't expect to see people selling at the current price because, after all, they are there to make a profit Smiley

If it wasn't so easy to fraud with Paypal and people were more honest, it wouldn't be like this. Unfortunately, Paypal protects the buyers more than the sellers generally speaking.



Firstly, the risk of a chargeback when using Paypal to buy bitcoins is extremely high, I would say at least 20% of the time stolen/hacked Paypal accounts are used to purchase bitcoin, hence the vendor needs to increase their fees to cover the likelihood of a future chargeback.



Have you read what I posted? It's exactly what I was explaining above, I don't need a parrot or an online spinner.
7183  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: France, Germany to make joint bitcoin regulation proposal at G20 summit on: January 19, 2018, 05:30:56 PM
They are not happy because they want "a stable economy" as well "limit money laundering using cryptos" and "refuse the speculation risks" it's their own words.

If they "refuse the speculation risks" maybe they should look at the banks first, It's my money I do whatever I want, I don't ask them for accounting advice

The crypto market and its ecosystem can help the economy, how it can make an economy unstable? Ah let me guess: money will leave the bank vaults putting at risks the banks to go bankrupt.

This Finance Minister has appointed a "Sir Bitcoin" and gave him instructions to think about how to regulate the cryptos.
The guy appointed was governor at the central banker and anti-bitcoin on top of that.

7185  Economy / Speculation / Bitcoin's bloodbath was totally normal & the biggest buying opportunity in 2018 on: January 18, 2018, 08:43:33 PM
For those who loved to say The fun's over or 2018 is death of bitcoin as well Bitcoin is a MASSIVE bubble right now or is this the end..?

I am sorry to tell you we made a lot of cash these past days and got cheap Bitcoins, "Black friday" every days of the week Cheesy.
At least the strong Bitcoin believers are still here and the weaks sold everything and leaved the market...


  • Tom Lee, the managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, sees bitcoin's recent slump as a buying opportunity.
  • He notes that bitcoin has seen similar patches of wild volatility in recent months and that the 34% decline seen over the past two days was not unusual.

Tom Lee doesn't get all the fuss about bitcoin's recent skid, which some experts characterized as a "bloodbath."

Sure, the wildly popular cryptocurrency plunged by as much as 34% in just two days, hitting an intraday
Lee, the managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, pointed out in a client note published Thursday that bitcoin had seen similar fluctuations over the past two years. He noted that since mid-2016 it had seen six rallies of more than 75% and six sell-offs exceeding 25%.

The chart below shows this pattern at work. As Lee put it: "What happens in years in equity markets is months in the crypto world."




Because bitcoin has repeatedly shown the ability to recover from similar drops in recent months, Lee sees depressed levels as offering an opportunity for bulls to increase exposure.

"We think the best way to think about sell-offs is to look at it through the lens of retracements — how much of the prior rise is given back," he wrote. "We view this $9,000 as the biggest buying opportunity in 2018 — and we would be buyers at levels around here."

It would appear that Lee's forecast for a rebound is already being fulfilled, as bitcoin on Thursday morning rallied roughly 20% off its overnight low.

On a longer-term basis, Lee remains extremely bullish not just on bitcoin but on cryptocurrencies in general. He sees the total crypto market cap exceeding $1.2 trillion, with digital currencies leading the way, and he says the newest generation of consumers is the key.

"Looking beyond 2018, adoption of blockchain is powered by millennials and outside the US," Lee said. "Millennials are the largest population cohort at 96 million and are now just entering their prime income years — surveys show millennials have low trust in existing financial institutions, and we see this demographic driving adoption."

TOM LEE: Bitcoin's bloodbath was totally normal and opened up 'the biggest buying opportunity in 2018'



7186  Economy / Speculation / Re: Shops/stores will lose money when Bitcoin price falls on: January 18, 2018, 05:10:23 PM
The thing is, most shops that accept bitcoin implement systems that automatically converts the bitcoin to FIAT at point of sale, so they're pretty much unaffected by these huge price swings.
But then gold and silver as payments at shops/stores is more safer

You're funny LOL, so while shopping online you expect to pay with gold? And to the merchant "The gold is in the vault at my bank go there" Or while at the supermarket to buy a fish you say to the cashier "hold on, I pay with gold, I have only 1 kilo in my pocket, deal with it" "no problem sir, I have all acid needed to make the test"

You can check .coinpayments https://www.coinpayments.net/ there are different tools to be able to accept cryptos. If I remember you can accept ~100 cryptos, it should be enough... You can find API/IPN, plugins (Opencart, Magento, WP, Dupral and so on) and others solutions (simple buttons,...)

Its been 4 days since the day I sent my support ticket but no one replied yet.  Its stressful to see my balance appear in my wallet upon checking the explorer but not on the kraken dashboard. Not acceptable. I tried checking whether they are also active on facebook but also not. They even pinned a message telling us to send a support ticket on the kraken support. I expect I did the right thing but no reply.

They have surely a huge amount of support tickets to deal with, and once the site came back online I am sure a lot of members jumped immediately to send a ticket.
Add to this the fact that some people send multiple tickets for the same problem which doesn't help anyone and make the waiting time worst.

I had the same problem a while back, but after some hours it was showing on the account.

There is already a topic here Visa CEO: We won't process transactions in bitcoin, it's not a payment system No need to create a duplicate topic so we can get hope for a forum (more)clean, continue the discussion in the other and search before creating another thread. It helps everyone.
7191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: needing some feedback on understanding localbitcoins USD per BTC on: January 17, 2018, 11:30:51 PM
Because of the high risks of fraud from the buyers by opening a dispute, chargeback, and other nasty methods. Add the fact that Paypal doesn't allow activities related to digital currencies.

The risk has a price and the buyer is paying it

7194  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is a MASSIVE bubble right now.. POP soon! on: January 17, 2018, 08:52:14 PM
The downside bubble is soon going to collapse soon. Right now we have Wall Street, Asia (taxes), and the double dose of FUD by the media creating a massive Bubble to the downside that even broke 10k at once, and may break it again.

But this bubble is going to POP really really soon - guarantee it.

Why is it that some people only talk about bubbles to the upside? We are definitely in a downside bubble right now for Bitcoin. For alts, I agree there was a large upside bubble. But Bitcoin hasn't even moved much recently. Definitely a downside bubble for a 0.5% adopted currency, and store of value.

January 2017 $1,000
January 2018 $10,000 (surely won't go below $7,000)

It's what I see and I am still happy. People think the value can only go up but it doesn't work like this on markets.
People are focusing too much on China but its nothing about this, it's about the futures contracts that ended on January 17
Let's see what is going to happen now.

4. We are reintroducing commonized chips (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and now 8 BTC). We will keep them restocked.
Reason - when we introduced them they did not had a lot of customers and we were getting out of normal chips often. We have had a lot of requests on support to reintroduce them again.

Thanks ChipMixer!
7196  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [LIST] Free EU bank accounts that you can be opened directly online on: January 17, 2018, 07:43:23 PM
Yep, Payoneer doesn't allow transactions related to "digital currencies". However, people may try to use LocalBitcoin to sell Bitcoin for Payoneer, if the funds come from a person and not a company related to cryptos, it may work.
Payoneer only accepts SEPA deposits from companies verified by Payoneer, you can't receive SEPA from individuals at all.

But you can send money to another Payoneer account without SEPA, you can transfer using the email ID of the person like you do with Paypal.
otherwise, you wouldn't see all the offers listed on localbitcoin. See the following link explaining about it

I tested and right now it seems to work fine here, no message like your is displayed to me. Surely an error in the system. The website starts to be a bit slow, too many people logged in I guess, I hope we don't go back to December lol

@Spoetnik

Isn't Interac only available to Canadian citizens only?

To use Interac people need a bank account, how it can be compared to Bitcoin? Where is the decentralization in?
Don't consider only the fees (which I don't deny are high) and so what about the use of other cryptos with low fees since it seems to be the concern in the OP.

I would say it's up to members to make their own due diligence and to decide if a product/service is good for them.
I see a lot of garbages advertised on TV, it doesn't mean I buy everything
And I don't like to have someone/something blocking me thinking it's not good for me, I can decide myself and if I am wrong, I am wrong.
we're not teenagers, you're not my wife Tongue
