821  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is crypto making the world go crazy? on: May 20, 2018, 05:43:34 PM
why people are crazy for crypto ,they leaving their job, they selling their house , selling their property?

Its because of the few success stories and the high returns wxperienced in the crypto-space, Its a fact once tou strike a good investment - it will be your pass to financial freedom.
Success stories are basically part of it all. With the way things have been over the years, most especially for those who are the earlier investors, everyone presently here obviously would not want to miss out and for that fact, so many people are beginning to see that we are still in the early adoption phase anyway and there is still a huge possibility for everyone in this space presently and that craziness as far as I am concerned as just begun.

I believe everyone wants to make their success story in easier way and believe that could be possible by adopting cryptos. Interestingly so far they all proved themselves right. There will be no surprises if we are able to see more people go crazier in coming days.
822  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I think ethereum is the best crypto next to bitcoin. on: May 20, 2018, 04:29:58 PM
Yes, I do not deny this, but for now, the price of ether is already high, and Bitcoin is also very expensive. However, the current application still has no improvement, so I think it will be better in a few years, not now, so remember to buy more when it goes down.
Believe it or not, I still do not see them as high as there is so much for them in the long run.
I know so many people may feel bad that they have missed the early train, but one thing they have failed to understand is that smart investors will rather put their fund in projects that will prove a lot of long term benefit for them than a pump and dump one which is not sustainable.

Ethereum has shown a lot of potentials with more room for growth and development and that is why it has been leading next to bitcoin.
823  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The pump and dump tactic on: May 19, 2018, 04:45:12 PM
As you know, one of the most popular kinds of manipulations on the cryptocurrency market. Big players on the cryptocurrency market are known as whales. They can manipulate the cryptocurrency price using the tactic “Pump and dump”. Whales buy a lot of cryptocurrency in several days causing price increases. This attracts new investors to the cryptocurrency because hamsters want to buy more cryptocurrency in hopes that the price will be raising and they will be able to sell assets for the higher price. But this isn’t happening, because whales, after gaining a specified mark, begin to dump coins. In such way, whales get a profit, and the price of the cryptocurrency falls. How do you think how not to become the prey of such kind of whales` manipulations?
 
If you want to save your self from bump and dump tactic we also need to follow their tactic that we need to buy at the price is low and sell them when the price is high,and never invest on any coin which price os rapidly increasing in short term because chance of correction is highly possible.
But there is what they call FOMO anyway, and most times, every coin can have such potential. The truth is to just try as much as possible to always have a plan and only those who are gluttonous in nature are the ones who would not be selling into FOMO.

Like they always say, the institutions will always buy when it is low and sell when the buying spree is becoming too much and the likelihood of a huge correction is imminent. Otherwise, the best thing is just to trade the trend. If we want to protect against the sudden pump and dump players, it is always recommended to hold for some longer periods. It is a proven way of generating profits which must be more than what we can get from active trading.
824  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hello traders on: May 19, 2018, 04:01:52 PM
Hey.
Personally, I wanted financial freedom, and so I began to study Forex trading 6 years ago.
I gave all my free time and money to him)
And he succeeded, but there were a lot of losses and disappointments!
I did not want to work for a stranger.
And I took a chance and quit my job.

And I do not regret it)
You got the point. There is absolutely no trader that can do it without learning, which is the mistake so many people always end up making.

Trading is definitely risky, but the only thing that can make you do well even in the presence of the huge risk is knowledge and the reason we keep stating the level of the risk is so that those who really want to trade will understand this before even considering it at all. Some don't listen and they go ahead without learning only to end up giving up the hard way.
825  Economy / Economics / Re: New investor and prices on: May 19, 2018, 01:30:58 PM
If we have less new investors, so the prices tend to fluctuate less? How much dependent of new investors the prices are ?

Without new people coming in to the market, it's just the same pool of people trading Bitcoin back and forth amongst themselves, and essentially there is no way to make money without other people losing money. Without new investors bringing new money into the pool, it's essentially a zero sum game because bitcoin is not a productive asset. It doesn't produce income, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay you for it. So the only way to realize a profit on owning Bitcoin is to buy it from someone and to sell it to someone else for more than what you paid for it. Because Bitcoin relies on new participants to increase in value, this is what causes some people to accuse it of operating like a pyramid scheme, even though it's not set up to be one specifically.
Apparently, the fact that we keep hammering on adoption is because the more the merrier. I totally agree with everything you have said, considering that whatever is going on with the value in terms of fluctuation is not really caused mainly by investors anyway.

Although, bigger investors can sometimes have some impact, but generally, traders, whales, institutions are basically the ones driving the price based on how the market is perceived but in the long run as more people keep stepping in, it is normal to keep seeing the value being reflected.
826  Economy / Economics / Re: Investment in Bitcoin vs Investment in Education? on: May 19, 2018, 12:32:00 PM
It's a beautiful question! My choice is investment in education because wisdom and title are lifelong ones. But the bitcoin is ok with no title title even bitcoin bit more than education. So far I have to invest in education .. Thanks ..
I would even say at this stage any smart person will be investing in the two. Education is very important and investing in bitcoin too is as well important. For both, it is more like you trying to invest in your future.

With education, you stand the chance to make some important and quality decisions over time in your life as that is one major thing education can help achieve and luckily if bitcoin ends up becoming profitable hugely after the education, it would be easy to use your educated mind to make the best of it to set yourself up for life.
827  Economy / Economics / Re: The significance of bitcoin decentralization on: May 19, 2018, 11:54:36 AM
This is technological advancement, we can conduct direct transactions without any third party intermediaries. of course this is very profitable for us, because it can minimize cost and time. we as holders or actors Bitcoin, all can control and oversee the transactions that we do. certainly this will ensure security and transparency. this is really a super technology, which is created to simplify human life.
It is more like the evolution of money. Gone are the days when we have to keep remaining a subject to the banks and the government with their manipulations and monopolies which at the end brings about some policies that gets us to live more like slaves when it comes to transacting most especially internationally. That has sucked over the years and it is one main thing that decentralization is solving right now as we get to make transactions without the banks who are also more like the third party being involved.
828  Economy / Economics / Re: Why BTC is tremendously undervalued on: May 18, 2018, 05:15:44 PM
Lately we have seen an increased demand for tremendously large blocks of Bitcoin. So much so, that we can't keep up with the volume that people and organizations are requesting. So what are the underlying factors?

Wait what? Increased demand for bigger blocks? What do you mean by that? People demanding a block size increase, or blocks just filling up in general? Fees have been pretty low for a while now, barring a few brief periods of spikes, so there shouldn't be any problems with transaction volume in general.

Can't keep up with the volume of demand? If that were true, we'd be on a tremendously bullish run, but instead we're stuck in a somewhat bearish market.
Totally agree but the bearish market to me may actually seem more of a plan than a real bearish market. Market was driven up so huge and then all of a sudden dropped down so huge after a lot of people who were expecting to get rich overnight were buying into it globally.

These guys have been in the manipulative system all these while and even if they really see the future and huge prospect, they will not be stupid enough to be buying at the top until they are sure there is just no more space to drive it down the more. I am sure when the real demand hits, we will all know but we aren't just there yet and the market may just be exactly as valued as it is supposed to be.
829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Effects of Gambling on: May 18, 2018, 03:55:42 PM
I disagree that gambling can only bring you looses or it can destroy your life no it can't, we're alone responsible for this. We create such thoughts and patterns that have left us effected since childhood and past mistakes. We carry it out on the gambling floor and we end up paying a price. I would suggest you'll to release such thoughts, embrace it with grace, keep giving out positive affirmations suddenly gambling will become rewarding.

True, gambling can give a positive impact to people too but the chance for it will be very rare. It is not just the win or the lose the people will get. Gambling mostly will depend on how the gamblers treat the game itself. And unfortunately, when came to gambling, a lot people tend to treat it in the wrong ways. They never know how to stop caused by their greediness.
That positive impact can only come with winning big which most of the time always end up negative at the end for those who are prone to gambling their life away. The main thing here is irrespective of whether one is winning or losing, gambling has a way of trying to make people's greedy side come out the more and only if you can control that impulse will you be able to either do well for yourself and know your limit while gambling or just simply stay away.
830  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you still continue? on: May 18, 2018, 02:36:48 PM
Losing in gambling gives you fear and tension so if loss in gambling just leave it if you don't leave it gives again losses only so gamble with intelligence and patience it is the only way to survive in gambling .


It is inevitable that when you gamble you will tend to lose and more you play more you will end up losing . So if you can bear that pain then its fine else if you have a weak heart then forget about gambling as it is not meant for you.



I agree with you that if you can bear the pain from the consequences of gambling you can continue  doing what makes you feel happy. If you are soft hearted better stop doing it and focus on something that can help you to save your money not to lose all your money in gambling.

It is always a matter of choice on how you want to live your life. But I would suggest to you that if you dont have enough money to support your pleasure better stop now dont wait for the moment that you only have small amount of money. There are always what if's in life we cannot predict what will happen tomorrow, especially accident. How you will survive if you encounter such things?
I really do not see how that is going to make such a person feel happy at the end, when of course it is not like they will not be losing that anyway and end up screwed at the end of the day and I have never seen anyone who is screwed being happy. There should always be a limit to everything in life and trying to overdo things always end up backfiring.

The best is just to look away when you know you have exhausted your limit than trying to use the little remaining meant for other things to want to try to push your luck harder.
831  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should I invest in Bitcoin Diamond BCD? on: May 18, 2018, 02:02:52 PM
Today 17 May 2018 this time is awesome to Invest in Bitcoin diamond Because of The Crypto market down today.
Crypto market is little down so why you should invest in Bitcoin daimond. Most of the altcoins are good growing platform so we should invest in some other it will make quick but if you expecting permanent profit. You should buy Bitcoin and Ethereum it will run forever in Crypto market.
There are just so many huge coins with a lot of prospect and potential to invest in, and I wonder why someone has decided to want to choose these one.

The gap between exchanges at that time may have been a bit huge based on what the person that posted below the OP said, but it still a very risky one. Right now, I am even surprised it is trading above $3 and listed in most exchanges, including Binance. Well, the choice is left for each individual to make, but as far as I am concerned, trying to invest in a forked coin does not make sense to me.
832  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading or not? on: May 18, 2018, 01:22:10 PM
If I lost most of my capital in one coin, I will hold the first to coin it up again, whether it can be called trading or not?
Give your opinion Smiley

That was just a normal in trading maybe you are just not lucky to that coins just take it as a lesson and use it to improve your skills in trading. Dont give up on your career even pro trader have experience like that also when they are newbie before become a pro
Trading is a profession and there is nothing like luck when it comes to trading. You should have a strategy and stick with it no matter what, while knowing that sometimes, you cannot always have profit and there will be few losses, which you can still minimize to get the best of the market. A lot of people simply find that hard to know since all they do is gamble the market and expect luck to take their side and this will never work.
833  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Nasdaq Infrastructure Powered New Cryptocurrency Exchange on: May 17, 2018, 04:06:13 PM
If this news is true it will be the big step for crypto and i also read that ethereum futures market also will be included there. However when whale comes to this crypto world it is still possibly gping to side. Bearish or bullish. But i think its bullish sign. I am going in to btc again then.
It will sure be a big step for cryptocurrency, considering that bigger players can end up having trustable exchanges to make use of. Also, this is a pattern that no one is following yet based on the subscription fees instead of the regular commission fees charged by most exchanges.

In this way, I guess those who may be trading huge money, may not have to worry much since all they are going to be paying is a fixed fee. Also, what are the chances of good number of coins being listed on the exchange ? Which I believe is one other thing to take note.
834  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is worth buying coins under $1? on: May 17, 2018, 12:10:16 PM
The face value of a coin does not have a direct correlation with it's potential IMO. There are enough shitcoins that are worth more than 1 dollar per coin.
You'd just apply the same criteria as with other coins, look at the people behind the project.

Ask yourself if that particular coin has a reasonable development plan and goals. Try to find out what its potential demand will be. How many people would be using it?
Yeah, face value is just more like a tag. Honestly, a coin may be $0.1 and still overpriced because it really does not have any value or something to offer in the real world. Anyone who is investing in any coin should be targeting the real life usage of a coin in the long run because that is really what is going to make the demand for it sustainable and not just end up as some pump and dump coin which I believe that is what most inexperienced investors are just chasing after.

What's your opinion on buying new emerging coins that are not yet on top and cost less than 1 dollar?
How do you decide whether they have potential to grow or not?
Obviously, to know if a coin is going to be having potential, you have to take your time to do due diligence on the coin. Check the activeness of the team, check if there is a product that can drive the value up, and check if there is a possibility of seeing a future for the coin or token from all the plans set out by the team. These are the things that make it valuable in the long run and not the price and that is one thing a lot of newbies usually do not get.
835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Understanding Online Casino Bonuses on: May 17, 2018, 07:51:05 AM
I never heard that have in that kind of online casino giving on that bonuses, most likely they only have a faucet when you try playing on that gambling site. Well, that's good gambling site you may share here on which gambling site on that?
Or the disadvantage on that site has a big minimum of withdrawals which I personally hate on that kind of site.
Never heard of such as well and the closest to it, was faucets like you have said. However, all these things are basically not something anyone should be relying on even if they want to gamble. Firstly, faucets will not even give you something pretty much to gamble with and even such bonuses are available, you will need to certainly do some things related to gambling to be able to redeem it, which most of the time, we always know what the outcome usually end up as.
836  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does positive thinking affect your edge in gambling on: May 16, 2018, 09:53:20 PM
Positive thinking is not entirely what counts when it comes to gambling.
I find if I am in rush and just cutting time by placing larger bets to make a profit this affects my edge on gambling more than just having a positive attitude towards the game I am playing.

That's not really related to positive thinking, that's simply the state of urgency. However I guess being in a state of urgency might affect your positive thinking in some cyclic manner. e.g. I only have 5 minutes left, I'll go all in with 90% odds because I'll probably win. Overall, positive thinking only affects your odds if the game is influenced by emotion, such as poker.
Haha. Anyone in that kind of state is not different from someone who is just stupid enough to go all in expecting a huge return from luck.

Unfortunately, this kind of people always end up in that recovery phase of gambling after losing almost everything and then the problem starts hugely for them as they are fighting to place their mind in between reality and dream of what they like will not end up having. Positive thinking will only get to make the gambler to keep pushing himself more even after losing so much.
837  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Keep these things in mind when you are into crypto world on: May 16, 2018, 08:46:36 PM
In the current days, many projects are a scams, but at the same time the regulation of the sphere of ICO will be carried out in the near future. I think with more control there will be less scammers.
Yes, with regulation, we will end up having a more matured space and a sane one as well.

It is normal to see things like this in a decentralized space and it is just pretty unfortunate that some people usually just do not know how to do some research on their own, or they are just so lazy that all they keep looking for is how to make fast money and they just invest in anything they feel like. However, we cannot run away from regulation with all these in as much as we may not like it, but I believe it will help.
838  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to hold coins in 2018 on: May 16, 2018, 07:29:35 PM
Best option for hold is buying more BTC/ETH and hold them till 2019. I'm kinda pessimistic about quick profits
Yes bitcoin is best choice to hold for long time as much as possible I think same as last year price of bitcoin will rise at the end of 2018 so better if we keep on holding, don’t thing about selling it, at this stage as growing price is positive sign about bitcoin price, 2019 will be an year of bitcoin so I will just observe the situation if it will be suitable time to sell I will sell but if not then I will keep on holding my bitcoin safely in my bitcoin wallet for a few years to get a better profit.
Holding is obviously suitable for long term investors and it is not like they have a better choice anyway. The only choice that could be better is to learn how to trade which would require some dedication on their path as well. However, the market generally is complex and if you want to be holding, you better want to be holding a potential coin with bitcoin being the top notch. As long as you have a guarantee that what you hold will give you something good based on its real life usage and demand in the long run, then it should.
839  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin bubble on: May 16, 2018, 05:10:10 PM
Calling Bitcoin a bubble just because the price fall doesn't make any sense. However, I really appreciate the correction because the growth of Bitcoin was not organic and hence there was a need for the correction process. On a broader scale, Bitcoin is still in the early phase of development and it would be too early to determine the success of it. In fact, the year 2017 was the year when it went mainstream and since then it is gaining momentum and it will need 5 to 10 years from now to measure the success of Bitcoin.
I really wonder. Maybe we should classify every market outside cryptocurrency itself a bubble. There is no doubt that price can get into a state of bubble sometimes which apparently tends to correct. It has happened in stock, gold, real estate, and so on.

People tend to always join FOMO when they see something going good and when there are just some speculations to shoot it up but at the end, it does not mean a real value is not created. As long as some of them do not understand the technology behind bitcoin, I guess they would be stuck in their own ignorance of calling it a bubble.
840  Economy / Economics / Re: Any ideas of what we lack in crypto world? on: May 16, 2018, 04:40:29 PM
I think the focus of our community in the next few years should be on some of the crypto world systems, and we see that the abuse of ICO in the last half of the year is hurting the development of the market, and a lot of negative news related to crypto.
In that case, I would say what is lacking is just basically ICO regulation. Where some are already doing it, some are really not bothered. I am not a big fan of regulation, but it seems that scammers as well as dumb and inexperienced investors who just fall for anything has ended up making the ICO space what it is today and to not give it a negative tag over time, I feel it is just better once and for all that the space is regulated minimally to curb those scam activities and bring about a matured environment.
