1781  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to be a good traders of altcoins? on: August 23, 2019, 05:15:19 PM
very risky if you use altcoin to trade especially when the market is unstable it is likely you will lose quickly, you better drive with bitcoin for daily trading, because bitcoin price movements are increasing.
For this season, I think it will be right to actually focus more on bitcoin trading now because anyone that is trading altcoins at this time that the markets are bleeding so much is doing so at his or her own risk.  The best time to actually make much in trading is during bull run, and as we can see that only bitcoin is still the one that has been in its bull run since 3 months ago, and many people are beginning to pump their altcoins for bitcoin.

The only thing that is good about altcoins right now is just to buy them and hold since they are very cheap, this season will favor more of holders than traders, I mean holder can buy very low now and then wait for altcoins season for them to make so much money.
1782  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Court Hearing On Crypto In India on: August 23, 2019, 03:40:51 PM
What if the judge is Satoshi Nakamoto lol? I believe that the disadvantages he stated is not convincing enough for the judge, and the way the judge sounds, seems I can see that the fate of cryptocurrency in India has already been decided, and I am sure that here will pass a positive judgment in favor of cryptocurrency.

I really don’t see this case as anything meaningful to me, it is just a waste of time, even if the government ban cryptocurrency in India, it will still not stop people from using it, and whatever law they pass has no effect on the whole world, so what is the point when they have other important things that they need to attend to as regards their country’s development and growth which acceptance of bitcoin is even supposed to be part of it.
1783  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think 40% bonus is too much for early Investors? on: August 23, 2019, 03:06:46 PM
Imagine that 40% drops from the total cap of bitcoin market today, what do you think will happen to the market cap, and not to talk of when they dump their own investment itself, if they really want to test it, I mean to know the real cause of project dumping and crashing, then the same way that they have limited the percentage of bounty hunters is the same way that they need to limit the percentage that they give to these investors, which to me is quite too much and then they will see the effect of it on the market now.

If they can take this bold step, they will surely see a turn around and lower the rate at which these projects do dump. If investors are really interested in multiplying their money, then I feel the interest they get on their capital alone is enough.
1784  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or LTC ? on: August 23, 2019, 10:53:20 AM
Bitcoin is still the best coin for trading, the volatility that is measured in thousands of dollars up or down, what other coins can be so profitable like Bitcoin is? You can`t find them! Short term or long term, Bitcoin is the best, it always bounces back after drop, when it rises enough there will be a new drop again.
Take a look at charts, if you can find any other coin that can be compared with Bitcoin let me know.
I am not sure that anyone will be arguing that at all with everything most people have seen in the market on the development of bitcoin and there isn't much point to even be comparing them both, bitcoin will always reign ahead of them in everything but we need to also fully understand that there are sometimes that altcoins too could be extremely profitable.

One thing that I do notice about altcoins is that if they want to increase, they can really increase far more than what bitcoin can even get to at once, but they are not always sustained, their increase is very seasonal unlike bitcoin that could go low and high severally within a very short space of time, so investment in both of them would really be the wisest choice for people to make.
1785  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Beginner Trader on: August 23, 2019, 10:23:31 AM
It would have been a little more easier if they had plenty review for you to be able to look at the percentage if negative review in it , to me, if in a comment section, the negative review is more than 20% , then I assume that such site or project cannot be trusted, but now that it has negative review, I would not know what exactly made him give such review.

The best way to find out Is if there is a way for you to send the personal private message asking why, but rather than going through all that, why don’t you just take some few months to learn trading by yourself, it is really going to benefit you more than relying on someone or some sort of site to help you double your money through trading, it would save you all these doubts and stress.
1786  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: August 22, 2019, 07:23:34 PM
I think it was more due to Lebron being injured and not seen as the alpha in that team. I mean we are talking about Lebron bringing Cavs team to finals just two years ago and last year he wasn't capable of bringing Lakers to playoffs. Do you really think that was because of Lebron himself not playing well?

Lebron could bring any team to finals even on west conference but you have to give him the ability to actually rule the team, if he can do that than he can actually basically be like playing nba2k20 with the players on the court. Lakers young core wasn't ready for that so they screwed up and now they are gone of course. This year it will be much better because they have players like AD and Danny Green who will be much better for Lebron, Rondo was great too, shame Cousins got injured, that would have been awesome too.
1787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: August 22, 2019, 06:47:42 PM
I did betting as a profession for over 2 years before I finally got myself a job, I think that’s almost 5 years back, I lost my job at that time and I needed something to keep me going, it was fun having to run it as a profession. I made sure I used every opportunity I got to play to minimize losses and maximize profit and it sustained my needs during those times.
Since you went through that phase and survived, I am sure you would agree that with time you only up losing more than what you make so gambling habits should be kept within strict limits for addicted gamblers with some breaks in between to prevent huge losses. Bankroll management is one of the key points that people miss out ending up in devastating losses and thus I emphasize on that for anybody willing to take the risk.

I believe those who tend to boast about their gambling skills are typically bluffs - I am not referring to jostorres though, but those who appear on media and all telling people about other sites, they are bascially paid actors for the casinos. Wink
I agree with you mate, I always see people who list out their achievements from gambling and talk about their skills as those who have been paid by the casinos to do so, because  in real life being an expert gambler is quite impossible. The game is unpredictable, so how can anyone be an expert or boast of skills? It’s absurd. I understand the aspect of experience as an added advantage but definitely not skills.

I have been gambling for roughly over 10 years now and my friends would always expect me to give them a strategy that would work for each games and I am wondering if I have that for myself either lol. This is a game of lucky that we all try to see how our luck plays out. Let’s not be deceived, there is no professional gamblers anywhere in the world.
1788  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you guys started to gambling with cryptos or fiat money? on: August 22, 2019, 04:58:05 PM
Started with crypto in sports betting, later I joined steemit, gambled there with steem/sbd on magic-dice (which is now dead).
I may have heard about this steemit, the name sounds very familiar and I hope it’s not the same site that got many gamblers frustrated at some point when it crashed lol. The dangers we encounter as gamblers are numerous and sometimes I am tempted to say the most risky profession online is gambling and this is for those of us that take gambling for a profession.

Well, I started gambling with fiat and this is many years ago, those days we were more of offline gamblers using casino houses, so we had no other payment choice than fiat but these days bitcoin gambling has taken over. It gives more profit and more efficient.
1789  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about Bitcoin and the games industry? on: August 22, 2019, 04:25:00 PM
It is of no surprise that even in 2019 the gaming industry has not found its touch with Bitcoin or Crypto Currencies in general. There are many reasons for them not indulging into the crypto market though.
The crypto currency market is highly volatile. The prices fall and rise too often and that is dangerous for any business accepting them as a mode of payment.
Steam tried to give the crypto game a try but it badly failed because the transaction fees for Bitcoin rose from $0.20 to $20 in just a week.
Although all these factors hinder the gaming industry from including crypto into their systems, I am pretty sure something is being worked on to overcome this problem. After all, the world is now adopting the inevitable phenomenon that is Bitcoin and Crypto.
Who said so, I think that the gaming industry are even the ones that has accepted the use of cryptocurrency more than every other industries we have there, let me mention some of the big games to you, such as BMI Gaming, dice, craps, keno, video poker, roulette and many more, they all play these game in bitcoin now, so they are gradually expanding, they might still be few but their number still corresponding with the level of acceptance of bitcoin generally.

The more the adoption of bitcoin grows, the more some of these gaming industries will also start to adopt the use of bitcoin for their game too, so we should just look at the future, majority of them have plans for it, but they are just trying to watch as things takes its shape in crypto generally.
1790  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin entering colleges and universities| DISCUSSION | on: August 22, 2019, 03:34:02 PM
Seeing that well-reputed schools like MIT have a Bitcoin club and is offering $500k worth of it only makes it clear about the future of BTC. The well-educated folk has probably realized the potential of the Crypto market and decided to gain more knowledge of it.
It is better to have knowledge of something and not need it than to need knowledge of something and not have it. The use of Bitcoin is increasing day by day and is becoming more accessible to the common man.
In the coming time, Bitcoin will be accepted as legal tender, and everyday tasks will be undertaken with the help of the cryptocurrency. It is refreshing to know that well-renowned institutions are accepting the rise of Bitcoin, unlike banks and governments that do not want it to become main-stream.
I have started seeing lots of courses that is being taken by many colleges and even given certificates in the blockchain studies generally and since cryptocurrency is a product of blockchain, they must surely teach a section of it, so as blockchain is being taught, crypto is also become a part of the future of the newer generation, we may not see the big adoption of crypto that we want in our own generation.

I believe that in future generation, everything about payment will all be in form of cryptocurrency, and before then also, we will see many schools accepting the use of bitcoin as payment. There is this country that has already legalizes the use of bitcoin as payment of salaries which does not exclude the lecturers that we have in those school, so this is how it will all begin.
1791  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are big leaders now opposing cryptocurrencies suddenly? on: August 22, 2019, 11:20:18 AM
They fights for their fiat currency and well know that the governments are against on us and also central banks are against to cryptocurrency. Let's hope they will changed there minds in the next year when bitcoin started to pump.
They are just indulging in a fight that they cannot win, even if US ban cryptocurrency today, that will still not stop it from moving forward and to get the world leaders to come together to ban it will be extremely impossible because some of those world’s leader too are already benefiting from the use of cryptocurrency in their country, sop stopping it is like removing a working feature from their system.

What I see in future is that the bitcoin will be accepted, no doubt about that, they will only introduce some sort of regulations that may not favor people, just as the US government has demand for Binance to separate its citizen to another platform which they are ready to do, but not in accordance with the will of the users, so many people may not like that idea.
1792  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Buy these altcoins!!! on: August 22, 2019, 08:51:55 AM
You seem confused sir, ripple is the company,  xrp is the token. Many banks use ripplenet but dont use the token. This is why so many xrp is being dumped. No banks currently want to use xrp.
It doesn’t matter, like TRON majority of us do you which is actually TRX but then we still understand they are one, everyone that see ripple already understands that the op was referring to ripple, which I agree with you that ripple was not worth it as an investment.

I don’t see how the usage of the coin has kept it for that long, I guess it is just hype and the fact they are cheap and people are expecting too much from them based on their previous high increase that is asking people still put in little investment and holding on to the coin. Ripple has more of holders than they have users of the coin, and I think they will eventually get tired and dump the remaining of their coin when they no longer see much development of the coin.
1793  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will SCO become the new 2017 ICO? on: August 22, 2019, 07:34:04 AM
NULS just announced a new staking model known as the staked coin output. I am interested in this system because it allows those with the tokens to get rewarded with altcoins that are participating in the SCO.

https://btcmanager.com/nuls-enterprise-dlt-project-and-aleph-unveil-staked-coin-output/?q=/nuls-enterprise-dlt-project-and-aleph-unveil-staked-coin-output/&
The only thing that I see with the SCO is that it gives investors guarantee of having a success, which means that their time and money put in the ICO would not be a wasted one, so investor can really on getting profit with no doubt, but don’t think that it is still free of scam, the SCO is a method itself, and anyone could come up with the idea that he is coming up with an SCO project and still be scam.

Every investor of any form of system of crowd funding must be ensure that the project is indeed as it claims, we must ensure that we make enough research also on the team, and at least with this SCO, I don’t think that there is any point working with anonymity like ICO does, anything that makes it anonymous makes it fishy again and I would not trust the system because scammers could still hide under its anonymity.
1794  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you really think bitcoin will reach 100k $ in 2021 on: August 21, 2019, 07:08:12 PM
No. I think bitcoin will reach no more than 20K in 2021. Yes, it's interesting - but there is already a lot of alternative cryptocurrencies. And 100K for 1 BTC  - is too much for nothing ))
You call all those coins alternatives? Now look at it, what is the status of those coins that you call alternative now? Is bitcoin still not growing while they are seriously declining, I thought you said they are alternatives, if they are alternatives, how come they watched bitcoin grow to $19800 in that last bull run, and how come they still watched bitcoin grow to $13800 in that last high that we got recently.

Look at much news that are coming up today, which coin are they all associating with? Still bitcoin. Don’t be deceived by those altcoins that are just here to play, bitcoin remain the only top coin and some other few to altcoins in the market like Ethereum, Binance and other altcoins that are within the scope of top 50 coins in the crypto market.
1795  Economy / Speculation / Re: Who Else is Expecting the Ultimate Rise of Bitcoin? on: August 21, 2019, 06:25:29 PM
If Facebook succeeds in Launching Libra, that may also play a part in the ultimate awareness to Cryptocurrency and indeed Bitcoin.

But as it stands, I don't think Facebook is moving ahead with the project anytime soon due to regulatory frameworks
We don’t need Facebook to release any coin for bitcoin to rise because Facebook never played any role in the last bull run of bitcoin, in fact the bull run would have been more than that if not because they were using their system to cancel and discourage ICO, now that they have come up with their own crypto, they expect them to just run smoothly.

I think they are reaping what they did to great projects then, they condemned them too and now they are being condemned also. Do unto other as you wish to be done unto, the same way that bitcoin rose to the top in that 2017 without Facebook is the way that bitcoin will rise now to the top with so many other projects that are more relevant to bitcoin market than Facebook. I am expecting this bakkt to have at least some effects.
1796  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: With Bitcoin, a future is not clear on: August 21, 2019, 04:55:47 PM
Well that is what it is, it is an alternative to fiat, and even if we are using it as digital assets, it is still going to be an alternative to it also, and the main concept of bitcoin is to be an alternative, so anyone that is making it the only source of payment and investment should be sole responsible for his actions on whatever happen through the crypto, that is why it is stated to be a risky investment and never should anyone take some risk that is not worth it, like risk of taking loan, although the system of utility of bitcoin is really worth it and the investment of it could also be worth it, but cannot be all the time, there are times that the system will not work in our direction or to our expectation, so we have to know how to deal with that then.
1797  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto's reveal is a complete epic fail? on: August 21, 2019, 03:50:42 PM
That is exactly my point, the guy is just trying to work ahead of selling his token down, he might be a guru and might have known the concept of how satoshi created his coin, but he would be a fool to come publicly and then portray himself as satoshi when he is not, and this is obviously glaring that he is just trying to make some fraudulent project because someone who has not been sincere about his project from onset, what do you expect of him then, I think that people should juts ignore him for now and be very careful about whatever is released and then associated to him.

There is a coin that he mentioned in his article and that coin will never see the light of the day, because the name of the coin alone sounds scary and the fact he is from Pakistan, maybe all these terrorist groups tech man.
1798  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I Sold 2BTC at $3,000 and BTC Bumped to $10,000 on: August 21, 2019, 03:16:37 PM
It Is not so easy man not to hold your coin knowing the future that is ahead of your investment in bitcoin, there are so many people that has practice holding and gotten money that business would not have ever given them in life, but I agree with you in one way, we need to learn to separate utility from investment, because in your own case, you were simply paid for your work and you deserve to remove it at that point even if bitcoin later increases.

If you put money in for the purpose of saving it there, I don’t think any of this advice is really necessary because there are so many of us that has kept money in bank for so long and nothing has climbed on it, and there is a system that is willing to reward you for keeping money in the market for a while.
1799  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: don't easily trust IEO, be careful with that on: August 21, 2019, 02:25:59 PM
the emergence of the IEO has attracted many new investors and old investors, most investors, are now turning to investing in IEO. but remember, we can't fully trust IEO, I'm very sure that something good can turn bad at any time!
the world of cryptoqurency is very anonymous and you must always be vigilant with every action you will take.
If care is really not taking fast, that good thing will really turn bad again for many investors who would fail to also always do their own due diligent even if it is an IEO project.

Many investors are just investing now based on the fact that the project has a tag of IEO on them forgetting the fact that it may also be an IEO for scammers, and I can see some unpopular exchanges too beginning to conduct IEO as if it is something so easy like ICO, and these low exchanges would never bring out a quality project, so what we may still see in the market are projects that have no real use case, except project that comes from  platforms like that of Binance exchange and some other popular exchanges that we all know, if I would ask anyone to join IEO, it should be that of Binance.
1800  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: MasterCard is forming its own crypto team on: August 21, 2019, 01:44:50 PM
Yes we will get there, at least with these giant companies all looking at cryptocurrency solution to apply to their current system, things would begin to get much more difficult for government now in declaring cryptocurrency illegal and they might start looking for several ways to just adopt the system and then control it, I mean probably regulate it.

There is just a part I am usually not much comfortable with all these their release, I am not comfortable with so many tokens that is being released, it would only be creating unnecessary competition, which will make them not be an investment instrument because how many projects would people have to consider to invest in at the same time, money is yet to circulate within the current ones in the market, talks of these coming like Facebook, gram and many other ones.
