1241  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 2018's Top 5 Alt Coins? on: August 28, 2018, 07:38:07 AM
Base on my own personal research and reference from ico reviewer the underlisted  are coin to watch out for in 2018
1.Experty
2.cypherium
3. fansunite
4. rentberry
5.coinlancer
Please do your own research,its very important not to follow the crowd

I think that altcoins just appeared because the altcoins are very strange in my ears.

you better choose the top 10 altcoins in coinmarketcap, so that your money is safe and not delisted on the Exchange.
usually if under the top 10 it is sometimes delisted on the Exchange.
Its good to start from top 10, but if you want to make some good investments that can turn to be very profitable you need to pay attention on all others. There are many good suggestions in this topic, people suggest new coins and tokens, but most of them appeared last year, and this year can be called a year of icos, many of them will fail, but some of them have chance to make something big, its advantage to get into in early stages, bitcoin early adopters are proof for that. Pay attention on technology more than on price and that`s my advice for all the people who want to invest in altcoins.
1242  Economy / Economics / Re: Which form of investment has highest ROI? on: August 27, 2018, 10:00:39 AM
We knows that the crypto currency investment can give us lot of profits even in short time but this is very new there are lot of invesments like real estate,gold,mutual funds silent partner in businesses and lot more but what you think which has highest ROI in short term other than crypto invesments.

My opinion is that real estate can be that one,since my grandfather used to be like buying and selling the lands and made tons of money in his life time but I didn't do that such kind of traditional invetment.

Your grandfather was the smartest guy, because he knew land is the very important asset on the earth and you dont know, it raises its valuation crazy hot each year. There is no other business other than land buying and selling which can give you security to your money and also give you profits over it for keeping it as it is. You dont even need to be stressed out whether you will loose money or something like that because things are always pretty good in case of land and they grow in the value all the time. Gold is surely stupid investment in terms of ROI, it grows very slowly.
For real estates you need to have a huge starting capital, and it`s not the investment with the highest roi, you need to buy property, you need to invest a lot of money in renovation, and then you wait a buyer and believe that real estate market suffers from drops like any other market.
Crypto currencies are the investment with the highest roi for years, and I think it will continue to be like that. Do the math alone from 1 cent to 6,700$, from 1 cent to 300$, where you can find higher roi than that? You can`t believe me, stick with this, and you need less money for start.

1244  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase got hacked??? on: August 26, 2018, 12:55:14 PM
There would have been a huge outcry in all the major social media platforms if Coinbase was hacked. So I would rather say that you were hacked or that Coinbase ToS agreement was broken in some way and they moved your funds. I know Banks close "dormant" accounts if it goes unused for some months. <Coinbase is acting more like a Bank these days>

Did you log a support request yet?
He just can`t open his account, if he has it at all. Maybe he is just spreading fud, cause I don`t see any screenshots, I don`t see any evidences, all I see is one more newbie spreading lies. We will see will he come back, usually someone make new profile, create couple threads like this one and we never see him again. Without proofs I will not believe in this, he could give us more informations, but like this I doubt that we will ever see logs, screenshots, any kind of proofs that this actually happened.
1245  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Buy ETH or not? on: August 26, 2018, 10:39:11 AM
Currently all the crypto currencies were bleeding so if you want to invest on the ethereum or some other crypto invest on your own risk because no one here knows when the prices will increase.
You go out on the street on your own risk, nothing is risk free, cryptocurrencies are not an exception. When I see a questions `buy eth or not?`, `buy btc or not?` I think what? You didn`t bought it by now? You need to have all the main coins before you buy anything else, process is you have money and you can buy bitcoins, ethereum, or even litecoin directly, than with some of that amount you buy other altcoins, but save a bit of main coins, and when ever you making a purchase do the same, and you will have different coins and thats the best you can do in crypto world.
1246  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Day trading and heavy manipulation on: August 25, 2018, 10:24:04 PM
Day trading at times of market uncertainties are more risky than otherwise because of exactly that; the market can get manipulated and you could be making the wrong investment.
Its good that the OP don’t lose much money on day trading because of this price manipulation. Yes, TA and other things that you do before you trade is useless especially when the market is in bear one. Day trading is too risky, that’s why its not advisable for inexperienced one, cryptomarket are being manipulated believe it ot not.
At first I was thinking that I can make a lot of money with day trading, I was wrong. Now I trade but I wait a long time before I sell, when it comes to buying I`m trying to buy just coins that have potentially great future, and when I get into I wait for months sometimes. When I quit day trading and started with mid and long term trading thats the moment when I started to make serious money. Ripple from 0.3$ I sold at 2$, IOTA from 0.5$ I sold at 2 dollars, but that was a little mistake, IOTA had top at 4,5$. Its best to buy when prices are down, and wait, if you don`t wish double profit wait for longer and you will achieve that, only if you get into right coin, and for me thats trading, buying the right coin in the right time.
1247  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: best crypto to invest on: August 25, 2018, 04:53:01 PM
I guess you are a very risky man to invest in crypto assets while crypto market is still in the strong downtrend. Actually you need to be very risky to achieve you aims and you will probably invest in minor altcoins which may give such a high profit. If really, I do not think that you will be successful because your expectation is incredibly high but market is too weal to grow so significantly. I would identify your aims as impossible. Anyway you may try to achieve your aims. You should make an excellent market research to understand and identify attractive coins for investing. Tell us about such coins later if you will find something interesting because I am disappointed in crypto assets and I consider that in the current year anybody should not buy any crypto coins because they will likely fall as an entire market.
Its good to invest while market is in downtrend, its bottom or very close to it. Just op wants to make x50 in next two years, its a good time frame, but for x50 its hard to say exactly which one will go that high. Its a game of guessing, Cardano, stellar, maybe tron, neo, iota, nem, there are so many good coins out there, competition is hard and just couple of them will be able to go x50, most of others will rise but who knows how much.
When I don`t know in what to invest, or I choose between couple coins I always diversify and I always buy both, in which I believe more in that one I invest a bit more.
1248  Economy / Economics / Re: Are we moving towards Centralized Private Blockchains? on: August 24, 2018, 10:14:40 AM

The dollar is backed by gold, the gold is the bareback of it. What is behind Bitcoin?
What inherent value does Bitcoin have?
We don't know how created it, maybe it's a government funded project
It's just speculation, the technology hasn't been tested yet.


Dollar is not backed by gold. Gold is not backed by anything, it has speculative value driven by supply and demand, just like everything else, just like Bitcoin.

Does is matter who created it as long as it's working? It's open source and in 9 years no one found any backdoors.

Bitcoin has been tested for 9 years already, it was and always is under attack, yet it continues to function like a clock.



But here's the kicker that I have been thinking about since we talked: He believes the private/public sectors will adopt the Blockchain, the governments, businesses to further improve their systems.


This is what currently happening, and also a lot of public blockchains like Ethereum or EOS or IOTA are moving towards more and more centralization in order to get more performance, because at this moment centralized systems are still way more efficient than public, decentralized ledgers like Bitcoin. But Lightning Network is an extremely promising game-changer that will give a huge edge to public blockchains.
I need to point one thing, everything has a `speculative value driven by supply and demand`, and supply and demand are people. With our trades, holding we make supply higher or lower, people that want to buy are demand. People give value to everything around.
We are not moving towards centralized private blockchains, governments do that, and some private companies, why not if they want private network, but as the customers and users we choose to use them or not, we can choose decentralized bitcoin over centralized ripple. 20 years ago nobody knew what is decentralization, everything was centralized, blockchain is a step forward not backward.
1249  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Short term vs. Long term investments on: August 24, 2018, 08:37:15 AM
If you are interested in the technology behind cryptocurrencies and their use, Long term would be better for you, if you here only for the profit then buy low, sell high and get out.
In my example its better to trust in technology behind some coin than in pump and dump schemes. When I started to trade I wanted to make profit everyday, but I didn`t, I was losing much more than I was making profit, I had so bad timing, I always end up with cutting loses and losing money in the end of the day. When I discover mid term and long term trading, I started to make serious money. Buying and holding for longer time some coins that have great potential future is better than day trading, in time prices rise, they fluctuate up and down, but after some time they rise a lot. Mid and long term trading is much better than day trading.
1250  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin Worth To Be Currency? on: August 23, 2018, 08:21:02 PM
Bitcoin is already accepted as a digital currency and many shops, stores accept it as a payment method. But no country accept it as fiat money as far as i know. In real life, Bitcoin now likes a high risk asset because its price is high volatility. If there is any cryptocurrency accepted as fiat, i think it'll not Bitcoin.

I agree with you. Bitcoin is already a currency ut such that is us only virtual, but you can use it for transactions. So it is not a problem if it is not real, atleast it has valuable.
Yes definitely Bitcoin is worthy to become a currency.Bitcoin is the leading cryptocurrency in the market and more and more people are enrolling themselves in Bitcoin because it gives huge amount of profits in a lesser period of time.Bitcoin is now also supported in some nations and traders are now also accepting bitcoin.Bitcoin also has some advantages over the normal fiat currency like faster transactions,one can carry any amounts of bitcoin in the bitcoin wallet etc.
Beauty of bitcoin is that we can use it for many things, it can be currency, it can be asset. People are making confusion with questions like this one, is bitcoin worth to be currency. This people don`t know what is currency, they don`t know basics, how will they know for what bitcoin can be used, but they know to ask this kind of questions. Bitcoin will be what it needs to be for every single person, that`s the beauty of bitcoin.
1251  Economy / Marketplace / Re: A tool to avoid scammers on: August 23, 2018, 04:49:31 PM
There isn't universal tool that can reveal scam sites and icos. This site is good like most of others, people share their opinion and their research materials, most of them are jot experts, even they say that in videos, they start with 'I'm not an expert, I'm just a cryptocurrencies lover, many of them seems fair but they don't know everything, nobody does. That's why it's important to search on more then one place, to compare what you see on one place with what you see on other, on more places you search more chances you have to find truth.
IF something sounds too good to be true it is probably a scam, just use common sense and you will be fine.  A lot of people are paranoid but there is no reason to be, that is no way to live life.
Its one of the better advices, if it sounds too good its a scam so run away. Its good to have some paranoia, that helps with researching, it will push you to find more informations. Good luck my friends!
1252  Economy / Economics / Re: Reason why other ban cryptocurrencies on: August 23, 2018, 06:50:23 AM
The main reason for prohibitions is very simple. Transfers in a currency different from the national one, lead to poor economic performance, including GDP (one of the main indicators). This way, it is easier to launder money or transfer funds outside the country. Neither banks nor payment processors will get their interest.
McCall Robinson a manager of Merchant Accounts, believes that most countries prohibit Bitcoin because it cannot be regulated and he said that. "Many governments do not like the very idea that there is another form of currency that they are not able to control. The supervision takes place on the Internet. Some countries consider it as danger to their society and government.

Yes, they fear of the bitcoin’s unregulated market and is volatile that cannot be controlled. Other countries are hesitant of the new technology and cannot afford to risk the people’s investments. They are just being concerned of the people’s welfare.
Bitcoin is regulated, but usage is not. Satoshi didn`t plan to ban anything, if you have bitcoins you can buy what ever you want without restrictions, what you do with your own money is your thing. I don`t understand what means `its easier to launder money or transfer funds outside the country` from which country, in which country? Money laundry is done by the banks, not by the people. I can`t do that, can you? No you can`t, you need banks, you need companies. Banks and payment processors, third party services that work directly with banks have very high interest, I don`t care even if they collapse one day, they stole a lot of money already, maybe its enough.
1253  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: They want you to panic :-> on: August 22, 2018, 09:42:51 PM
The manipulative whales will continue to play their games, they pump up prices then dump their bags and they spread fud and buy up cheap coins.  New investors continue to fall for these tricks and it will continue until there are more regulations in cryptocurrency.
Simple explanation how things work on global level, whales needs to be very rich to pull that off, and I believe that is not `one man game`. They are using market for their own benefit, why not? Anyone would do it, just not anyone have budget for that and knowledge.
Panic never brings anything good. Bad decisions are made in panic, and like op said they want people to panic and to be confused, they take advantage in that kind of situation. Looks like all new investors needs to get burned before they learn something, I think that everyone of us had big mistakes in past when it comes to cryptocurrencies.

1255  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We need to change on: August 21, 2018, 10:18:16 PM
Of the entire population of bitcoin users around the world, only 1.3% of people who use bitcoin as an exchange / payment tool, this is quite sad. There are many factors that make people reluctant to use bitcoin as a payment / exchange tool, one of which is a government ban and legislation in every country.
is that a big problem? I think many people think that it will be too valuable and it is a pity if bitcoin is used in buying and selling daily necessities. I do not deny that the investor population is more dominant in the market, crypto is more convenient to use as a digital asset.
Its not a problem its opportunity for growing, what will happen when we come to 10%? Where will prices be in that moment?
I think what op is trying to say that we need better society general, and maybe cryptocurrencies can help us with that. I said maybe cause there is still a lot of confusion about cryptocurrencies, what they can be used for, all those platforms that rise around, what is their purpose. People are generally uneducated, like op said most of them are here for making profit and they don`t care about technology, they don`t support better society, they just bring flaws from traditional system into this new one. Scams, frauds are nothing new in this world, but with smart contracts maybe that can be lowered in the future, I hope for that my friends.
1256  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin regaining dominance. on: August 21, 2018, 08:02:16 PM
Apart from reaching a new ATH, bitcoin is also regaining dominance vs other alts. It was halved between March and June and bitcoin has been slowly regaining it but lately seems to have received a boost.



Source: (https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage)

Any ideas about why this is happening?

this thread is 2017 so i hope the bitcoin dominance is regaining again and the value will go up again so i want to buy a lot of bitcoin but not also bitcoin als ocryptocurrency becuase i know that it will going to pump again all i neee is to be patience..
Yes definitely Bitcoin is again gaining dominance as the price of Bitcoin is rising slowly and steadily and people are again gaining profits from Bitcoin.Investors are also getting good amount of profit returns due to the rise in price.Bitcoin is still the most valuable and expensive cryptocurrency in the market and no other digital currency has the potential to overtake it because Bitcoin has a large number of users all over the world and people have faith in Bitcoin as it had made many people rich.
If you believe in just one source of informations you will be misinformed. Every information needs to be checked on several places, even infromations from coinmarket cap. This bitcoin dominance is pure speculation, do you really believe that any other coin have so big usage as bitcoin? Anyone with coin or token can manipulate with market cap, depends how much coins are premined and how many coins are in circulation, when you plan to distribute some of your coins your coin have price and market cap, that is pure manipulation.
1257  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading or mining? on: August 20, 2018, 10:24:13 AM
If there is money to invest, mining will be an option not bad. My country lives relatively cheap electricity prices, benefits are not lower than trading.
You better know the aspects of mining, that is great. Mostly people want to start mining as they get it through general aspect and that doesn’t let them go deep in facts that are needed. For mining, every other thing just works fine except electricity. As systems must be strong and they should be running for whole day and consuming extra power, so cheap electricity must be provided.

Electricity has been the most common problem in mining, and miners prefer to build a rig in a country who has cheap electricity, and Georgia was the most preferd country.
These days mining Bitcoin is almost an unprofitable method of investment, not unless if you have a really huge mining farm. Another problem in todays mining, is the level of difficulty to mine everybit of Bitcoin as there are only 21million supplies and there are 17million circulating supplies in the market already.
Best option for the OP is to do trading. Although it is more riskier than mining, but it can make good returns than mining.
Mining is profitable when you have a cheaper electricity in your area. Many miners today sell their mining hardwares because of the electricity problem. Trading is much better when mining is not for you
Yes, mining is profitable for only selected people who live in this country where electricity bills are cheap. But usually, we see it that in most of the countries have no cheap bills, then better to trade with coins.     
You talk like you trade and mine and you know what is better from this two? I would like to see some of you buying thousand dollars worth of equipment and start mining, I would also like to see how do you trade, by your comments I think you don`t do nothing from this two, and even if you tried something you had just loses.
If you think that you can compare mining where you invest in equipment and trading where you have so many risks, you live in delusion! With mining you will have some income that will depends from your power of your equipment, expenses for electricity, network difficulty, some income small or big depending from your mining rigs, with trading you are all in risks, if you think you can have steady income from trading than you never traded and you don`t know nothing about it.
1258  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which is better for hodl? ETC or NEO? on: August 20, 2018, 12:54:53 AM
ETC was just listed and trading on coinbase. Comparing with NEO, which one is better for holding?

The two coins are good for holding and if i have money to invest then i will divide the investment into two and invest in two of them but if i only have one choice to make then I will go for NEO, because it already some app's been deployed on the network.
Coinbase is adding new coins from time to time, when they accept it that is a positive thing for the coin and all the supporters of that coin, things are going good and they got recognized by one of the biggest crypto services. Its also good for all people who wish to buy cryptocurrencies trough coinbase, now they have one more option. I think coinbase will add more coins as time passing, why not NEO to not be added there too? Solid project, with many supporters, much younger than ETH, and maybe with time and when grow enough NEO will be added on coinbase too.
I wouldn`t choose between NEO and ETH, both great platforms, they have huge potential. Diversify and buy them both, I have both, why not everyone else to have both when its perfect time for buying, both dropped a lot
from december, but I don`t doubt they will get back there.
1259  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Keep all crypto in trading platforms or wallets? on: August 19, 2018, 08:50:50 PM
It just depends on your situation and also on the kind of mind set that you are having that time.
That doesn`t depend from mindset, like you first said it depends on situation and your plans with your coin. If you plan to hold it for while its better to have wallet, if you plan to trade with coin anytime soon its better to have it on platform and wait that moment, transferring your assets from one place to another more than once can be expensive cause of the transaction fees.
Make a plan and execute it, its very simple, and always try to protect your asset.
1260  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin Worth To Be Currency? on: August 18, 2018, 04:13:06 PM
Great post. I think the answer is in what you have stated .... the volatility. Based on that, the simple answer is NO. Bitcoin can never be currency as it currently is, no more than oil, gold, silver or pork bellies. Think about it,  buying something for 1 bitcoin 7 months ago equaled roughly $20,000. That same item would cost about 3 bitcoins now or $60,000 end of 2017 prices.. It fails on all 3 measures you mentioned, medium of exchange, store of value, unit of account.

Bitcoin is a means of wealth transfer, no more no less.

The only value Bitcoin has is still measured against real currency such as US dollars. Unless you expect the value of Bitcoin to drop vs USD no-one should be buying anything using bitcoin. Also, if I expected the value of bitcoin to rise, as a seller I would definitely accept Bitcoin as payment to take advantage of uninformed buyers. Seems the sellers are losing now, but that will change because this is still a young market and bitcoin has a long way to rise.


If all of the people here in this crypto community has an outview like you and OP then bitcoin will continue to fail being a currency because instead of posting encouraging topic to attract many users to support bitcoin to hold its value ,what are you doing is making negative issues towards this great coin
Currency refers to money in any form when in actual use or circulation as a medium of exchange. What is not clear here? You think its volatility, that sounds like a joke, right? Why Rohqit didn`t mention how much pizzas you could buy 8 years ago with 10k bitcoins, and how many pizzas you can buy now with same amount of bitcoins?
Even op and this guy says the same, means a wealth transfer, I give you my wealth in bitcoins you give me same amount of wealth in pork. That is currency my friend, look it at in any way you want, but it can be medium of exchange, its currency. What is so good about bitcoin it can be asset too, you choose what you want, it can be a lot for who knows to take benefits from it, for people like op and this guy are bitcoin can be nothing, they can live crypto world, anyway more bitcoins for us.
