961  Economy / Economics / Re: why is it so hard to buy bitcoin on: September 09, 2017, 09:02:51 AM
I don't think that buying bitcoin is hard because bitcoin is not that rare on its supply and we can still buy some bitcoins in the market and as long as there is an exchange like coinbase then there wouldn't be a problem in buying bitcoin because we only need to create an account in that wallet and buy bitcoin directly without a problem.
The point of the others is the price, why it is hard to decide to buy a bitcoin even the price is high. The problem is the capital, since bitcoin become popular it's price become high so others need a huge capital to buy a bitcoin.

Your right that it will buy in some exchanger. First of all you can't buy a bitcoin if you have no local currency or dollar and how you make it? Some user put a local currency in their own wallet then buy the bitcoin. It is also a problem because some user like in the province has no chance to buy in store like 7/11.

Ya I think Price place a major role in buying the bitcoin. If you are going to brought the bitcoin means you have to some fees for the Miners.For example, if you spend the dollar to brought 0.1 bitcoin means,you only get 0.08 at your wallet. I.e the cost for the transaction of dollars or any currency to Bitcoin.
No doubt the price of bitcoins gives Goosebumps at first sight but that times are changing now if you know what I mean. The bitcoins and all other crypto currencies are going through dip now and that gives some relaxation in buying them so now is the right time to invest.
! This is the right time to grab bitcoins when they are showing some dumped in the price. Weekends in my opinion are the best time to grab bitcoins when they dump in prices. Besides the crypto currencies are the latest trends of the world and we must try to invest into them for safe future.
It is hard for some people to buy a bit coin because they are not well aware of it. They don’t know about crypto currencies much and how they all work in the digital world. What they can do is to get familiarization with these currencies and start investing in little capitals and then trading them.

I just always wonder if those billionaires still invest in btc. Do they even know btc exist?

the are definitely are are investing into it,  iread some news that one of the renowed billionares just invest a good amount in bitcoin, well they can invest whenever they want because they have money, and if they get a profit then its will add up on their wealth and if they lose they can just invest on others to get those loses. just sayin.
I think billionaires definitely invest on Bit coin as it is a new market for a lot of people and most of the people even don’t know about the crypto currencies i.e. what are these currencies? How they are produced? Security issues and all other concerns they are not aware. It is best for billionaires to invest maximum in BTC to have larger profit when people doesn’t know about them.
963  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: September 08, 2017, 06:31:21 AM
I think in the presence of bitcoin will reduce unemployment, because searching for bitcoin also requires hard work and creativity, and competitiveness in bitcoin is also high almost similar to work in the real world

What is your opinion this time?
Yes, because when you are using a bitcoin you spending your time like when you are working you become bc they have possibility that the unemployment is to become  bc to using bitcoin. Using bitcoin is just  like you are working because in using bitcoin you earn a money just like in working in the  company. In using bitcoin it is profitable it is reducing the unemployment by earning money and extra income thats why through bitcoin reduce the unemploment.
I will agree to what you have said. We are well familiar with this that rate of unemployment can be reduced by providing new opportunities to people to earn something good. Bitcoin without any doubt is playing a vital role in eliminating unemployment from the society. It will for sure solve many of the issues.
964  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you Panic? on: September 08, 2017, 05:20:37 AM
when i was a newvie in btc tradding i afraid all time when coin dump. but now a days i dont panic.
Same with me, when I was a newbie in bitcoin trading, I often panicked when the prices of the coin that I bought down, so I always cut loss and as a result I lost my money but now i am never panicked again because I'm sure the prices will rise up, but sometimes I'm still can not be patient and still doing cut lose 😁😁😂
This is very good that you learnt from your past mistakes. Being panic is never the solution of any problem. It hardly helps you except this that it makes you to decide something which is even worst. You need to have patience and remain calm even at the time of stress. This will help you a lot.
yes that is right that panic is not the solution we need to have good knowledge and study about the market so that we can take a right decision in a right time. i think that with the passage of time people become mature and they realize the reality. but it take some time to get experience because experience is too much important in every field of life.
Actually if you are day trader on market as me, very difficult for know the scenario of whales and avoid the loss when trading. Because they always change their scenario when we understand hold or trade is good lol Grin. Experience and your emotion are factors can help you suceed in trade.
whales are very difficult to predict, but the most important is our emotions and mental from within. whether to survive or give up in trading.
I have never ever compared myself with others and nor I care about anyone. Sun and moon shine at different times so I really don't care about whales. However, I keep an eye on the current and past behavior shown by my coins and make a decision according to them. I don't panic because I know it is useless.
965  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Traders; what do you look for on: September 08, 2017, 04:46:14 AM
profit, that is the main thing in the search by the trader in any hemisphere because, already menghabskan a lot of capital and also the principle used is the buy in price is low and sell in high price.
Very precise and perfect! We all seek profit and try to buy our digital or physical assets when there is a dip season and sell them out when the prices are really high. However, the toughest part is predicting the fluctuations and making move according to them.

Hi there,

Complete newbie trying a treasure hunt, luckily found your post, Thank You!

So I am scanning the hard drive with WinHex: should it look like this https://imgur.com/a/mrEeL ?

I basically selected the drive, pressed "F9" and pasted, pressed "CTRL+F", and pasted "01 03 6B 65 79 41 04". Looking good?

Cheers!
I want to know is this a sit from where we can recover our lost bitcoins. And if so how is it possible. Because the past experience shows that when someone hacked or stole your bitcoin it will never be replaced and recover. But if it is possible due to this site it will be appreciable and I will specially warm welcome to this site. The controller should keep all the securities very tight and up to date.
967  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you could ask 1 Question to Satoshi Nakamoto what would you ask? on: September 07, 2017, 05:33:32 PM
I will ask him that what was in his mind to create a crypto currency and was exactly the need for this, and how much he has invested in bitcoin. Satoshi Nakamoto can explain everything about bitcoin and he will better understand what exactly bitcoin is and what are the uses of bitcoin. How can someone buy and use their bitcoin wallet and what are the other advantages of bitcoin in day to day life so that we will build up our trust in bitcoin.

What time does the developer intend to go online? Looks good for the project
I think they are quite active and answering all the questions very rapidly just the fact that due to the gold being a real asset and they are claiming it's backed by gold so people have a lot of questions. I guess you should also check the main post and there are lot's of important links given to get some knowledge.
People are too lazy to check old pages/OP for their answers and instead of checking there, they always come up with their new posts for their  doubts. I am not blaming them, but it will help devs to focus on their development rather than spending more time to answer everyone repeatedly. Active devs are always good, but we should not misuse them.
969  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Loss almost 40%, should stop trading or not ? on: September 05, 2017, 06:42:49 AM
You loose profit because you maybe to impatient that you just trade and sell it again if you lost 40% if you waited you will gain 50%.
This might be one of the reason. But tired of just by having this much loss is not a good quality. If you will give up and will never try again, then you can never earn and recover what you lost. You need to be patient and have a brave heart in order to excel. You need to learn from your mistakes so that you won’t be repeating the same mistakes in the future resulting in more loss.
I think you just have to take a moment, make a strong decision regardless of any loss of whether you want to do it or not? If no, leave it. If yes, make a bravest heart you could ever have in trading. Risks are there, loss and profits are there, you just have to make some wise and smart decisions and be patient.

971  Economy / Economics / Re: Are cryptocurrencies better than regular currency on: September 04, 2017, 12:16:27 PM
Each has got its own goodness. Right now being an cryptocurrency user gives pride, because now the users all around the world is very low and secondly the virtual presence gives anywhere access. With regular currency the usability is easier and the acceptance is high, so each based on their own convenience prefer it.

Yes each of these has its own goodness. Depending on the usage. Because you can't trade directly bitcoin through physicaly and you can't trade directly regular currency through online in long distance transactions.
Both currencies have their own importance in the economical world. It is pretty absurd to compare them with each other. They both have their own pros and cons, their own limitations. There is nothing wrong if both keep serving us the way they are doing now. At least I am enjoying using both.
972  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Bitcoin has power nowadays ? on: September 04, 2017, 11:42:29 AM
The power that btc is gaining these days stems from the current awareness it has now. People are beginning to have confidence in bitcoin & more people are thinking of how they can incorporate btc into there financial activities. This is like a fundamental analysis that is driving the btc.

Bitcoin is the most powerful one that jobless people can earn if you do hard work from it yes many people nowadays are aware of bitcoin but lack of experience and they just thinking too much if they wanna learn from it or not there are many activities that they can do if they really want to but most of them are afraid of losing money.
not only with the value that getting higher makes bitcoin so powerful , it has big impact into our financial/economics lives. it is give a changes into a good one , for example you can do a business with people with anybody from the other side of this world without have to confuse about making payment.

because of gambling are a global currency , and makes you easy to do transact with people around the world.
besides making our life better bitcoin makes us easy in doing our activities when financial transactions while investing,
bitcoin make us get to know people around the world
I will agree to your logic. There is no doubt in it that the major reason behind all this is the profit which Bitcoin is giving to investors. Secondly, the graph of market price is rising with each passing day, thus increasing the power of Bitcoin. Moreover bitcoins have massive support.
I don't see mass support of bitcoin. Capitalization it is constantly growing, but is says nothing about the growth of its popularity. A very large part of the capitalization of bitcoins is speculative capital. It quickly comes and quickly goes. The fate of bitcoin still not known.
Fate of bitcoins is very much bright even brighter than the brightest star in the sky. You should and can easily imagine the level of bitcoin popularity that the Japanese airlines start accepting bitcoins in the form of payments. Besides developing countries like India has also made it legal. Bitcoins are cherished by customers from around the globe.
973  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the economy situation in your country that bad? on: September 04, 2017, 11:00:43 AM
It seems there are bad news all around with doom and gloom. Trade figures going down, jobs cuts, security situation not going well, and bad loans.

Is the economy situation in your country that dismal? Or this is just some fear mongering?



I live in a country that has corruption, laundering and a country full of drug users. It is very hard to trust a government this bad in my opinion as a student.  
As a result poverty is the number one problem in our country. The initiative of the President's campaign is against drugs. I really do not know how our country will be able to stand up from this kind of problems.
That’s so sad if your beloved motherland is going through all these diseases. You must be living a depressed life. Drugs must have ruined lives of many people. But don’t give up on hope of living a better life. Bitcoins can improve your financial condition and soon you will be living a peaceful life.
974  Economy / Economics / Re: Why would Crypto be the future currencies if it's so volatile? on: September 02, 2017, 08:54:11 AM
Hi

Whilst I am a believer of the future of cryptocurrency, I do have a critical question which I believe will define its success or failure.

How can a currency be strong and reliable if it is super volatile versus EUR/USD/... ?  
Why would I ever pay goods in Bitcoin for instance, if I know that tomorrow the same product can twice as expensive (in USD when converted from Bitcoin)?  I believe this can only work if the full system is in Bitcoin (meaning you get your salary paid in Bitcoin, you pay your rent in Bitcoin and you spend Bitcoin for daily expenditures -> which is something I dont believe will ever happen)

Below an article of Howard Marks on cryptocurrency, with some total crap but also some valid questionmarks.

Cheers

Howard Marks on Digital Currencies


The discussion of innovative investments brings me to Bitcoin, Ether and other digital currencies.  I’d guess these things have arisen from the intersection of (a) doubts about financial security – including the value of national currencies – that grew out of the financial crisis and (b) the comfort felt by millennials regarding all things virtual.  But they’re not real.
 
Some businesses accept Bitcoin as payment.  Some buyers want to own Ether because it can be used to pay for computing power on the Ethereum network.  Some people are eager to speculate on digital currency for profit.  Others want to put a little money into these to-date-profitable phenomena rather than run the risk of missing out.  But they’re not real!
 
People tell me these currencies are solid, because (a) they’re secure against hacking and counterfeiting and (b) the software used to generate them strictly limits the amount that can be created.  But they’re not real!!!!!  Nobody has been able to make sense to me of these currencies.  Here are a few paragraphs on Ether from The New York Times of June 19:
 
The sudden rise of Ethereum highlights how volatile the bewildering world of virtual currency remains, where lines of code can be spun into billions of dollars in a matter of months. . . .
 
Ethereum was launched in the middle of 2015 by a 21-year-old college dropout, Vitalik Buterin . . .  Mr. Buterin was inspired by Bitcoin, and the software he built shares some of the same basic qualities.  Both are hosted and maintained by the computers of volunteers around the world, who are rewarded for their participation with new digital tokens that are released into the network every day.
 
Because the virtual currencies are tracked and maintained by a network of computers, no government or company is in charge.  The prices of both Bitcoin and Ether are established on private exchanges, where people can sell the tokens they own at the going market price. . . .
 
Many [new currency] applications being built on Ethereum are also raising money using the Ether currency, in what are known as initial coin offerings, a play on initial public offerings.
 
Start-ups that have followed this path have generally collected Ether from investors and exchanged them for units of their own specialized virtual currency, leaving the entrepreneurs with the Ether to convert into dollars and spend on operational expenses.
 
These coin offerings, which have proliferated in recent months, have created a surge of demand for the Ether currency.  Just last week, investors sent $150 million worth of Ether to a start-up, Bancor, that wants to make it easier to launch virtual currencies.
 
Bottom line: you can use the imaginary currency Ether to buy other new imaginary currencies, or to invest in new companies that will create other new currencies.  In “bubble.com,” I highlighted some illogical aspects of e-commerce by including some of my father’s old jokes regarding how to make money.  Here’s another that seems 100% appropriate for the digital currency movement:
 
Two guys meet in the street.  Joe tells Bob about the hamster he has for sale: pedigreed and highly intelligent.  Bob says he’d like to buy a hamster for his kid: “How much is it?”  Joe answers, “half a million,” and Bob tells him he’s crazy.
 
They meet again the next day.  “How’d you do with that hamster?”  Bob asks.  “Sold it,” says Joe.  “Did you get $500,000?” Bob asks.  “Sure,” says Joe.  “Cash?”  “No,” Joe answers, “I took two $250,000 canaries.”
 
One of my very favorite quotes concerning the market’s foibles, from John Kenneth Galbraith, says that in euphoric times, “past experience, to the extent that it is part of memory at all, is dismissed as the primitive refuge of those who do not have the insight to appreciate the incredible wonders of the present.”
 
Maybe I’m just a dinosaur, too technologically backward to appreciate the greatness of digital currency.  But it is my firm view that the ability of these things to gain acceptance is just one more proof of the prevalence today of financial naiveté, willing risk-taking and wishful thinking.
 
In my view, digital currencies are nothing but an unfounded fad (or perhaps even a pyramid scheme), based on a willingness to ascribe value to something that has little or none beyond what people will pay for it.  But this isn’t the first time.  The same description can be applied to the Tulip mania that peaked in 1637, the South Sea Bubble (1720) and the Internet Bubble (1999-2000).  
 
Serious investing consists of buying things because the price is attractive relative to intrinsic value.  Speculation, on the other hand, occurs when people buy something without any consideration of its underlying value or the appropriateness of its price, solely because they think others will pay more for it in the future.  
 
It isn’t unreasonable for someone to use Bitcoin to pay for something – or for a seller to accept Bitcoin in payment – based on an agreement between the parties: barter takes place all the time.  But does that make it “currency”?
 
The price of Bitcoin has more than doubled since the start of the year.  Can something that does that seriously be considered a “medium of exchange” or “store of value,” rather than the subject of a speculative mania?  Maybe not, but Bitcoin looks staid in comparison to Ether, which has appreciated 4,500% so far this year.  The outstanding Ether is now worth 82% as much as all the Bitcoin in the world, up from 5% at the beginning of the year.  
 
The New York Times notes that together, the outstanding Bitcoin and Ether are worth more than Paypal and almost as much as Goldman Sachs.  Would you rather own all of the two digital currencies or one of those companies?  In other words, are these currencies’ values real?  They’re likely to keep working as long as optimism is present, but their performance in bad times is far from dependable.  What will happen to Bitcoin’s price and liquidity in a crisis if people decide they’d rather hold dollars (or gold)
The volatility of the market is one of the reasons why bitcoin is being regarded to as the future of currencies because its going to put lots of cash into the pockets of those who stood by the currency throughout the good and bad days

976  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin benefit of saving for a long time? on: September 01, 2017, 07:35:08 AM
they are smart to look for opportunities, storing bitcoin in a long time will make them profit much larger than before. if they buy the current auto bitcoins if there is such a rapid rise in the coming year they will become millionaires. so this is a very great thought only the big-minded person dare to take this decision.
Looking at the past years, the way Bitcoin market value has increased and is increasing, there is hardly any chance that it will disappoint its investors. Even if they keep Bitcoin for a long term. Keeping it for a longer term will mean more money.

Teenagers only and not with children because blockchain for me is very difficult to understand and I had to find the best explanation video on youtube just to easily get the point.
You cannot blame the new ones because it is the parents who give their children overfreedom. Obviously, you cannot expect a 3 years old to use mobile for learning BTCs, he will be definitely using it for games and will grow with such thinking. Its adults duty to push creativity and awareness into kiddos. They might be good at using technology but they are not good at deciding "for what" question.

Yes, of course  when we are member of signature campaign,Campaign provide a income to you while you are posting to the signature campaign.So if the the campaign success bitcoin gives to you a income online. Having your money is in your account they have a possibility that value  of currency is going high so if you convert it you have a high value of money online. Thanks.
It’s quite funny seeing some people comment that bitcoin does not provide a longterm job for anyone? Lol…there are lots of Bitcoin companies that are ready to hire you as far you have the skills necessary to occupy the vacant position, whether online or offline.

Haha! Indeed, mere bragging are just useless and they literally harm others, make them do daydreaming which is not applicable in real life, lol. We all should try to give statements that could be supported with logics. At least two scores are required for bitcoin to come near this value.
980  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Beginner trader on: August 29, 2017, 08:08:27 AM
So the best advice that I can give to you right now is not to trade. The markets are wild these days and you can get rekt if you make 1 bad decision. The best thing yo u can do getting started is just to do research, buy and hold. Holding on to investments can be a lot more profitable down the road. The best thing is to just forget about it and harvest profits later.
Yeah I agree to you. You must not go and trade immediately because you are still newbie in trading. I agree to you that the best way that all the newbie can do is make a research first about trading. 
we should listen in anyhow since exchange is a big place for such a newcomers and a lots opportunist are there waiting to take advantage of someone's
money the market is so wild we really cant predict even the pro's are still unsure what will the market brings them.
New traders are the most innocent community in the crypto kingdom and especially those who have no proper guidance from any veteran. They really need to understand that this market is not easy to understand and there are so many crocodiles waiting for you to make one silly move and they will engulf you (means our money, lol). Beginners should trader with small amounts until they grab the basic idea of the trading.
