841  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Crash! on: October 25, 2017, 05:06:53 PM
there is always a risk with bitcoin but there is always a risk with any other investment too! even if gold that everyone keeps praising everywhere is a risky investment.
and everyone has their own theories, some of them very strange!

all i want to point out without repeating all the answers others gave is that being "worried" is a good thing but being irrational and trying to link some weird stuff like ICOs to bitcoin is not.
Every investment absolutely comes with a risk and if an investor is looking for a risk free investment, then the person is apparently ready not to invest at all.

Bitcoin to me now is much more like a mid risk investment and one that even gives more hope of something big which is glaring and if everything works pretty fine will make any investor smile at the end.
842  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoin trading is very bad now. on: October 25, 2017, 03:38:11 PM
Today most alts are going sharply up, after this another BTC fork story. This will continue for some time, alts will go back to previus levels.
Up and down is the nature of the market. It is right that altcoin are now in the high level price and buying altcoin in this sage may be caused a loss in the future but it doesn’t mean that business in altcoins is almost bad practice.

Loss and profit in business occur but saving yourself from the loss you must have to know techniques of the business which is not much difficult to understand. When the down fall of value stop so buy. In this way I hope you will not face any loss in future.
843  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN END PRICE on: October 25, 2017, 02:58:30 PM
The way bitcoin price has been increasing has been alarming lately and I can say that no other currency has the amount of power that bitcoin has, I can remember vividly sometime during January ( I mean early January) bitcoin was only struggling to reach $1k but now come October, the currency is almost nearing $6k ($5600) to be precise, now I want to ask if there is a mark in which bitcoin will stop increasing or is there  a mark it can't cross.
It may continue to rise sharply in the future as there are many investors wishing to hold it. So it will increase, not decrease or stop at the current $ 6,000 price.
At present, by looking at the graph of market price of bitcoin it is really very difficult to comment on what will be the end value of bitcoin. The way bitcoin market’s value is increasing with each passing day, I’m very much hopeful that in near future it will break all the records and will reach to some value which one cannot even think of. These coming days are going to be the golden days for investors of bitcoin.
Very much difficult to predict just approximation of bitcoin end price but we can conclude from the current situation a little bit about the stage of bitcoin and then we may assume a rough estimate in percentage which would be compatible to final stage of bitcoin. By experts and by forum discussion the current stage is considered the beginning stage so what will be the middle stage and then the final stage.

Suppose 5% world  population are involved in bitcoin business and the first stage will be go on upto 30% people involvement and the final will be 100%. I we make an equation of this calculation so we can conclude the final stage value of bitcoin above $100,000.

I think same like today - 10-30 minutes.
Power of protocol is rising proportional.
That’s a lie, you’re totally wrong.
I got into Bitcoin in 2015, and as of then, every transaction made is received instantly in few seconds and it is confirmed in few minutes. Every Bitcoin that is being sent to me was received in a second. But these days, it takes up to 10 to 15 minutes for a high priority to arrive. Low priority takes forever.
845  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Trading vs Gambling on: October 25, 2017, 06:09:03 AM
The major advantage in trading is here we will not get 100% loss, at least we will have a chance to sell our coins at a low price that means something will get at the end of the day.
And you don't see that as a lost?  Shocked
But this is not possible in gambling.
How is that? Deposit 1 BTC into gambling site, gamble for a while, lose 0.25btc and withdraw 0.75btc - there you go, you got something at the end of the day. Isn't that what you are trying to say for trading?
We have to get back anything we lost in gambling means we must invest some more money and win our bet or else it is not possible.
When you lose money in trading i am pretty sure you need to invest more money if you want to return money.

That comes at your end. You can’t deny the fact that when you are trading you have to adjust yourself according to your spirit and strategy. When this strategy is coping up with your goal, everything is just making their way to the right path. And within this scenario, you get encounter with loss and then next time you intend to make more investments to take back that loss.
846  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Holding Bitcoin a long time good way to make money? on: October 25, 2017, 05:37:26 AM
Very proven, Yes. Holding bitcoin for longtime proves to be one of the best ways to grow money we have. Very much compared to interest given by bank.
Looking at some famous stories who have been made rich by investing and holding bitcoin, your statement is indeed correct. Banks do not give us as big profits as bitcoin do and that is people are investing in it instead of banks.

This is the main reason why it is a threat to banking system and indeed it is a big one. Bitcoin is just a way to get out of all financial problems and earn enormous money within a short span of time.
That is the most simple and the best statement about this subject. Everyone who merely knew about bitcoin, can assure you one thing, holding will give you more profit. What is the reason behind it? No other than the high going of prices every other time. Prices are fluctuating every time but with little dumps, they are trending to go higher and higher each coming moment.
847  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Long Term BTC Investment Is No More on: October 25, 2017, 04:58:50 AM
With bitcoin value increasing to new heights every day or week, is long term investment of bitcoin in alts no more? Because with the increase of value in bitcoin, all alts suffer and their value in bitcoin decreases even if they are stable enough to keep their value in dollar sustained.

So all one can earn from such long term trade is a loss in bitcoin.

So, is short term trading alts the only option or even that is too risky for now and holding could be the only option.

And for buying alts, one should use dollar instead of bitcoin.


I really think there are two diferente angles to look at this. One is pure profit in FIAT. I think the market is hard to beat and it will not be easy to gain more with alts speculation than you do in BTC. Another angle is the technology and market of alt coins and tokens projects. We don´t know wich ones or even if there is any already born but some blockchain projects will be huge. So diversifying and holding participations in such projects will be very good in the future.
That is the point. Market always have been such diversifying and you can’t find any best solution that is stable somehow. But now, for bitcoins and altcoins there are some specific and nonspecific trends from which you can predict to some extent about the future of market. Better is to sustain the whole stamina and invest in both with different portions and wait.
848  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Found this today why bitcoin is better on: October 25, 2017, 04:30:35 AM
Because it is quite popular and valuable, more importantly it is useful to everyone.
You can trade Bitcoin with anyone in the world with just the internet, fast and easy without the traditional procedures like banks.
Accuracy is high as Bitcoin decreases to satoshi.
Bitcoin are not limited to indiscriminately printing such as paper money.

True, bitcoin is very useful, honestly it truly helps me transfer my funds to somebody without going outside and exposing myself to sunlight and falling in line before the teller entertain your transaction.
Hahahha so you are looking so sensitive. This is really a monumental technological advancement that you are in home and things are going fine with your business. You are checking it, doing it, transferring it and much more just sitting on your sofa.

Like you, people don’t have to go outside and feel hot and cold, rather they use this service and this is a blessing. Isn’t?
849  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: job and trading together.. on: October 24, 2017, 03:00:44 PM
Its always a problem to me too to be monitoring my trading while at work..

just easy to monitor ur trading in ur smartphone just download blockfolio or taba trader. Blockfolio just view ur assets only and a tabtrader u can actual trade in app using api. U can buy or sell ur assets. Just easy if u have a smartphone.
Blockfolio is really a very good app for busy people who wants to trade, most especially for long term traders. Easy to use, monitor and reduce the stress of trading and the activities you might need to do normally and what makes it more fun is the interface on mobiles, just perfect! The devs are really doing a very good job on every upgrade.
850  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bittrex warning - please explain 4 things on: October 24, 2017, 10:50:41 AM
I am sorry but I have had no problems with Bittrex

I was also happy with Bittrex until they locked my account with no information why. Forced to make another verification which got hanged up do to same reason =unknown. Result = locked account, not possible to unlock, no support help (many people got same problem for few days and still no fix).
They came out to say only about 1% of the user's account were locked and they are just trying to verify the users. I believe messages will still be passed across to all locked users with respect to that and it feels there are some targeted users anyway. Exchanges are always just the wrongest move and with the level of trust bittrex has had, they should be careful before they end up losing that loyalty.
851  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Should I Choose Bitcoin ?? on: October 24, 2017, 06:38:22 AM
I choose bitcoin because it is good and has the potential to save and invest. Easy access only with internet connection. makes it easy for everyone who subscribes indefinitely. I like the existence of forums like this that give many opportunities to us who want to go ahead with bitcoin. hopefully bitcoin will be forever so that generation after we can enjoy and success more than now.
Bitcoin is no doubt the best way of investing your money if you have little knowledge about crypto currencies and bitcoin. Bitcoin is the top ranked coin in the world of crypto currencies and it has changed the lives of so many of its investors. Bitcoin is being legalized by so many different countries and most of traders sitting in the international market have started doing trade in bitcoin. All these things are good enough to encourage anyone to go and opt for bitcoin.

852  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why I suddenly decided to leave gambling alone. on: October 24, 2017, 06:04:13 AM
If you do really value your money then most likely you would really have doubts anytime on spending too much money on gambling which would really make you limit on the funds that you would use which is really a good thing because it would really limit you to be come addicted on gambling. Leaving it would really be hard specially if addiction did hit you already.
That's the thing, you are already addicted and have a habit of gambling then you should know that it wouldn't help you in any case. It would just eat your money and it wouldn't come back unless you have thought about gambling again causing more destruction with your wallet.
Most gamblers would only realize things when they are already facing the consequences given by such addiction. We do only realize if we dont have money in our pockets to bet on already and if you dont like to experience such thing then dont let yourself come into this point. Leaving gambling or play on casual is the best thing to do to lessen the risk on getting addicted on it.
Yes addicted gamblers never realize their actual gambling problems. They keep on gambling with their all available resources until they find nothing to lose. Unlike OP, only very few gamblers are finding their gambling addictions and deciding to quit gambling before the gambling problems become worst.

When gambler is gambling only in some part of their day-to-day activities then they can get chances to realize what they are actually doing in the name of gambling.
853  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hextracoin scam? If not why not refund our BTC? on: October 23, 2017, 07:08:37 PM
Do proper research before investing in any ICO, now you can only complain.
A lot of people do not even know how to research. And it is always a pity that newbies in the crypto community are always falling for this kind of scams easily. Someone comes up about an ICO and give you an address to pay to promising you heaven on earth once the project loads and you then fall for it without proper digging. Then any loss in that process is obviously on the person who fell for it.
854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What the games you play as you earn? on: October 21, 2017, 08:38:01 PM
I never earn when I gamble so for there is nothing, no one can really earn from gambling I think you might win but your losing position will still be bigger that your winning.
It is usually very good to have that mindset even before starting to gamble.
Believing you are only gambling not for what you want to earn, when after all, the chances of winning all the time is quite low and see it as a game of just trying your luck and if you lose, good! and if you win, you take your winnings and go have some fun or save.
855  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hold or Sell on: October 21, 2017, 08:07:27 PM
It's only you who determines, or you have economic problems then you can sell it Smiley
Choosing any one of the option from these two options greatly depends on the person and the circumstances through which he is going through. In normal days, I am in very much favor of holding the bitcoins for as long as I can because it is the most profitable thing as the market price will keep on increasing with each passing day. Sell your bitcoins only at the time of need and when you are left with no other option.
856  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin have a future? on: October 21, 2017, 06:59:37 PM
I just read on Btcjam blog that they are closing down: https://blog.btcjam.com/2017/05/25/btcjam-is-closing/, now I am just wondering if big players in thebitcoin industry are closing down, is there any future for bitcoin really.

I came to know about bitcoin through btcjam when i was introduced there to borrow. Eve in this forum, looks most signature campaigns might close down because of the ever rising price of bitcoin. Most of them have reduced their payout amounts for posting by more than 50%. Is this a good sign or a bad sign for the bitcoin development?
Fortunately, the news had gone stale (BTCJam May 25, 2017), see the facts now, bitcoin still exists in its position as the best coin, even today bitcoin is planning to implement a smart-contract system, hopefully with the introduction of this smart-contract system, more bitcoin in demand by market participants.

News that makes everyone doubt the bitcoin will decrease at that time but that is just an inaccurate news. information that doesn't need to be heard Wink
Bitcoin is no doubt the top leading crypto currency and is the most widely used crypto currency. There are number of investors who are investing in bitcoin and the way bitcoin is making such a good reputation, I am very much hopeful that bitcoin holds a very bright future. Bitcoin is in fact going to be the most commonly used currency in the world. Bitcoin is going to make our lives very much comfortable.
857  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think billionaires invest in BTC? on: October 21, 2017, 05:18:28 PM
i think yes, they should be already have Bitcoin if they know about bitcoin. if they don't know anything about bitcoin, where did they go? another planet? they must be have advisors who are really smart people. there is no way they not have any bitcoin yet.  



It's almost impossible that billionnaires aren't aware of bitcoin. These people became billionnaires and continue to be billionnaires because they know how to make money. And bitcoin has recently been making waves on money making. If regular people are investing and making money with their meager capital, how much more for these filthy rich dudes.
Very impossible! They are well informed, they are always on the net, CNBC, Forbes etc, looking out for changes going on and how they can tap into it. They have been hearing about Bitcoin and they have been doing a lot of research and these guys have the bucks to invest knowing it is a very awesome risk worth taking.
858  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you deal with loss? on: October 21, 2017, 03:13:58 PM
So in trading how do you deal with loss? For example you've invested in an alt and now it has fallen quite hard and you're on the brink of losing all your bitcoin you invested in it.
How do you actually deal with it? Do you wait and keep on waiting in hope that it will bounce back up and return your investment or you sell and get whatever left of your investment?

If I encounter it I might sell loss, if some altcoin drops too fast instead of continuing to hold, I can sell the hole to reduce the loss.

That's why i don't deal that much with the newer untested altcoins yet. You won't know if it's going to bounce back or not compared to trusted regulars like btc and etherium. I seldom end up in losses now because with these coins i'm trading with, all you need is patience.
Some of the new altcoins are actually the hardest to purchase immediately as most of them gets pumped in the market immediately and gets dumped afterwards within few days. However, it depends on the project and the support you really have for it probably if you want to keep for the long term, but for a regular trader, there are just some altcoins, you want to stay away from.
859  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should I try to win back my loss? on: October 21, 2017, 09:21:26 AM
Holy damn, 16 losses in a row from 100 satoshi base bet and 2x multiplier. It must be pain in the ass, that's why i rarely bet on games that have provably fair.

Just saw you deposit again 0.1, damn dude you should cash it out when you get 0.03.

Twice!
In the same day Cheesy

I'm cutting my losses here, won't deposit more
Lost enough today xD

FJ has paid me enough, I'm glad it goes to them

Anyways, playing Monster Madness in a last ditch effort with the bonus
Currently at around x0.1, x39.9 to go lol
Happy you were able to make the best decision. The impulse is always hard to control mate, I have been there, but if I were you I would have just accepted my losses at first, move on and forget about recovery. Or possibly just relax for a while and try to see how your luck would play out eventually but that would have been a huge risk and a whole lot to bet too. Just consider that you have lost 0.06 twice and you have given back to FJ as a thank you gift like you said. Don't worry FJ will still give you back what you have lost with the campaign.

its kinda like asking "why there are no jobs for kids"  Undecided
LOL. Nice one! Most people are always very impatient and instead of paying their dues and seeing how effective they can be to the community, they just want to register an account and start making bucks without working towards it. Even in real life, things do not work that way as you just have to work your way to the top. No shortcuts!
