1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: IS BITCOIN CASH DEAD ? on: November 21, 2018, 03:46:32 PM
Last week was another Night mare in the history of the crypto currency world. the event of the Bitcoin cash forking took  a huge swipe on the crypto market leading to a bizarre lost of over 50 billions Usd in the Market.  Bitcoin dropped below 6000usd trademark. the last time it hit such price was in August.  After the Forking, there has been a tug of War between the New born babies. BTC CASH ABC and BTC CASH SV.
So i asked what is the likely faith and future of their father. Bitcoin Cash.?


rumors of a decline that occurred a few days ago were caused by bch doing a hardfock, and it didn't succeed in attracting investors. so a war is carried out to reduce the price of bitcoin. yes this is like what I read in another thread.
I think this is a game to suppress our more panic, then they buy it with a very large amount.

Both ABC and SV are hemorrhaging with losses due to the cost of mining both (inefficient) chains. It is being funded by Crypto selloffs from all major Cryptos.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and others have all seen big drops in value.



Bitcoin is also doing a correction from when the market was in full mania and the price was dictated by greed and speculation.
The adjustment allows for the lower cost of mining (some of the hashrate has moved to mining ABC  & SV).

This war will wipe out large market caps and will reduce the wealth of the people involved in this "war". I believe that bitcoin hasn't seen it's lowest point yet. In the long term I do believe that bitcoin will win and recover from this. It still has the same utility and support and will provide an opportunity for people with long term vision to buy into bitcoin at a lower price level. (Allowing for good future increases)

I think ABC will be a neutered version of BCash and SV will just be another shitcoin that has its own toxic community and just won't die. (I predict SV will have a sucessfull 51% double spend attack by the end of 2019).

Craig Wright might be planning to do this for years - but the people that are financing this bloodbath will eventually come to their senses and concentrate on making money rather than throwing it away.

Once the markets really get back to normal with seperate ABC and SV markets the dumping of those coins will start.

Interesting times - usually the market peaks around Christmas.

Maybe a few a few weeks (months), the BCH will have more support and the price will rise. So the mining is not unprofitable. So it is more difficult to attack it.

I think its a good decision due to the price growth of eth compared to bitcoin. Actually whatever your decision you are on the right track because btc and eth are good investments especially for long term.

Eth is way cheaper than btc so if you dont have huge capital its a good option and for those newbies who are looking for alts to invest in dont forget to add eth in your crypto-portfolio because in time it can give you high return.

I think ETH has more potential than BTC. I am not sure about BCH.

Since the announcement of the cancellation ppl are using their bitcoins to buy altcoins, that's why the price decreased (and not plummeted, it is still 7138$ right now). Look at the long run. I still believe bitcoin is the safest crypto to invest in though the cancellation of the fork will definitely benefit the altcoins in the short term

The drop of the price due to the network congestion. So until after the congestion problem is solved, the price might stay here.

This is reply of your Question replied by " https://www.goldcruderesearch.com " Company
Monero is the leading cryptocurrency with a focus on private and censorship-resistant transactions. The most popular cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and Ethereum have transparency in their blockchain. Which means the transactions through these cryptocurrencies are open to verifying and tracing by anyone in the world. Sending and receiving transactions through these currencies can compromise the real world identity of the person. In the case of Monero, it is different. As Monero uses cryptography to shield sending and receiving of addresses and transacted amounts. So you can easily do Monero mining because transactions are untraceable and cannot be identified. Monero also obfuscates the sending and receiving address and the transacted amounts. Which further strengthen the privacy and security.
What can we expect from prices of Monero in future?
When Monero was launched in 2014. Its price against USD was around 2$. But, within 3 years it reached the USD price of whopping 150$, in between August’s last and September’s first week in the year of 2017. Right now the price of 1 Monero is 84.77$.
Monero Trading Signals: In terms of Monero technical analysis, the Monero signals are indicating strong sell as it is constantly dropping from the high of 0.036 Satoshi (sats). But it is expected that Monero may gain some key support at 0.018 Satoshis (sats). So the prices of Monero are expected to go up in upcoming quarter of 2017.
Why will It go up?
As with all cryptocurrencies, the value is simply determined by the forces of supply and demand. The Monero Cryptocurrency is at an excellent place right now and is constantly growing. If the demand of Mero increases, then its prices will also increase. Some main features of Monero which are contributing to the increase in its demand are:
Gaining Popularity: When something gains popularity, its demand definitely rises. Same goes with the Monero cryptocurrency. Right now Monero has gained so much popularity that according to goldcruderesearch.com; it is in the list of top 10 cryptocurrencies and is growing continuously.
Super anonymity:  The most prominent feature of Monero is its super privacy. The Monero coin is the leading cryptocurrency in terms of its privacy and that is one of the factors for its popularity and higher price.
Monero vs Dash: The race between Monero vs Dash has gotten pretty rough in past few days. But, due to the reason that Monero offers privacy, it has more chances of overcoming dash in upcoming months and when it does that. The prices of Monero will definitely go up.
Incredibly low transaction fee:  Comparing to the popularity of Monero, its transaction fees are incredibly low. The transaction fee of Monero is even lower than the fee of Bitcoin. And everyone likes to save money, so Monaro has chances of being bought by more people.
Besides these factors, Monero has active developer team. Which is continuously improving the coin and adapting and implementing changes in the market so it may be viable for the long term. Which increases its chances of higher prices in future.


The Dash price could rise faster as the holders are quite rich.

Its possible to reach more than 200+ in 2018 or before may happen but there is no chance for growing big as bitcoin or it will overtake bitcoin .I don't see any strong reason for growing bigger than bitcoin.

Nobody would think the XMR will overtake bitcoin. If it is 0.1 bitcoin price, it is very good.


6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: monero price prediction on: May 03, 2017, 05:14:19 PM
Very optimistic by 2018 it will hit $200 because that Bitcoin will reach $15.000. That's why I can say this Xmr will gain this price by the end of 2018.

Bitcoin will not reach 15K in one year that is impossible. And Monero will go down like before. Just wait and see...

It could be in two to three years.

Monero have way more chances to reach $200 in 3 years then Bitcoin $15000.  I see Bitcoin at max 6-8k in 3 years. When for Monero is way harder to predict. If development will go as last 2 years $200 is sure thing. If development start getting disorganised as it was first year then way harder.

I agree with that. It all depends on the adoption and development.

If we didn't have segwit we'd be sitting at 5 figures by now, just saying.

I think so. The big block size will make the transation much smoother. So there will be more users.
8  Economy / Speculation / Re: If we didnt had idiots blocking segwit we would be sittting on 4 figures by now on: March 05, 2017, 07:49:41 AM
The only way bitcoin can compete with visa is through the second layer solutions, there is no other way to do it, so we can only hope that we get LN as soon as possible, and segwit too since segwit improves the LN experience.

We will see what happens, but either BTC gets second layer solved appropriately or it will remain a better gold.

If we have both the big block size increase and segwit, that will be excellent.
9  Economy / Speculation / Re: If we didnt had idiots blocking segwit we would be sittting on 4 figures by now on: December 30, 2016, 09:03:28 AM
The elegant solution is segwit precisely because it doesn't require a hard fork. There's nothing cool about a hard fork, it's the opposite of elegant. Also you are asking for things that don't make sense technically. Segwit is everything that's needed to fix transaction malleability and so on, and it will make the LN better and allow us to have Schnorr sigs and other cool stuff that anyone that isn't a troll or stupid would agree to add at a protocol level.

Clearly you know nothing about software development. Hard forks are always times more clean and elegant than soft forks. The only problem with hard forks is that nodes which fail to update are going to be left behind for sure. SegWit's soft fork is no better than a hard fork because old nodes won't understand segwit transactions and they will just ignore them. For that reason SegWit is even worse than a proper hard fork.

SegWit won't activate unless there is strong consensus reached. Guess what? An elegant hard fork can also be made in a way that it won't activate unless a strong consensus is reached. Then why we have a soft fork hack called SegWit in the first place? There is no good reason for that. It's just dumb. They propagate this "soft fork" idea as if it was any better than a hard fork just to find more acceptance. It's a clever marketing. Why do the Core devs need sneaky marketing? So many questions, I'd say they are doing foul play. My own writings have now made me realize that I hate SegWit even more than before.

I agree with this

I think segwit introduces more complexity to the system than its fixing and reversal will be  too difficult and dangerous to take the chance....

Thankfully there are other scaling offers on the table we can consider, including bu's gradual scaling approach  and the new solution from lead devs called "teechan"  definitely is worth considering before we do anything hasty like segwit

We may try the scale method used by other cryptnote coins such as the Monero. I think they are very elegant.

I am proud to say that I am one of the investors who booked profit when the price touched $400, and now I am looking forward to make another great profit and patiently waiting for the price to hit like $1,000, if that will not be realize this year, I am very positive it will happen early next year.

I think the price of the bitcoin will touch $1200 this time next year. So it is better to hold the coin for longer term.

That could happen. The price of bitcoin has already rise 4% in the last 5 days. I think the rise will continue.

The price of the bitcoin is around $740 now. That is just $40 lower than the peak in May or June.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sold all my eth for etc on: October 24, 2016, 05:42:51 PM
I don´t get the problem about those forks. Ethereum is much more complex than Bitcoin and backed by a strong community. All they are doing is improving this thing, which is good for everyone who participates in it. You will see a lot of forks of other currencies in future, as they become more public and more attention from hackers.

There might be other ETH forks in future, but who cares? As an ETH owner, you don´t have to do anything but updating your wallet. Your coins stay your coins. And for those who think they should stick with older versions of Ethereum, do it, but everything except of the main fork is just worthless.

That is right. The Etheruem is still less than 2 years old. It will have more bugs to be debugged in the future.
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sold all my eth for etc on: October 03, 2016, 06:15:01 PM
Taking into consideration news from the past 1 month i'd say ethereum is really undervalued. Read crypto news sites, reddit, and see for yourself, too much interest from big corporations to either build on public / private blockchain, use public chain and the fact that some really cool dapps are close to being launched.
amen bro. ETH is actually a damn gud buy right now. Especially when you think about all the great future tech it is.

That could be right. There are still very active development for the Etheruem for the time being at least.
13  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anyone booked profit when btc touched $ 400 ? on: September 23, 2016, 06:55:34 AM
I have booked profit from when it was 400$ but i know people that have made profit from when it was 20$ each!
We missed the golden age where it was easy to make tons of money if you invested some money into bitcoin sadly enough.

The golden age was before 2013. But during that time, the bitcoin was in early stages. There were more risky.

The price of bitcoin was very low then. But there was little possibility that will succeed. You had to take a big risk to invest.

When the ETH becomes pure PoS, it is more difficult to fork. That is according to the comments by the Vitalik himself.

What kind of POS have ETH ?
Probably it will be hard when most coins are on exchanges Cheesy hahaha... and voting to change protocol will be will of
exchange owners today probably poloniex will be king.
I think that can be ETH issue. Polo was not hacked for long.
POS have problems with that matter people don't realy care about stacking coins for 1$ revenue while it cost 120$ year for power.
And we and in world where a bigger stacker will be exchanges - always online and big chunk of coins in their hand.

Maybe when we have the coins on the Poloniex. The staking interest should be paid to us by the Pononiex. Otherwise, it is unfair.

Poloniex does not pay staking that I am aware of.  I have had large amounts of staked coins in there for some time and never saw anything.

According to Poloniex they are not staking their users coins but in reality it's exaclty the opposite.

There are a few they are dedicated strictly to the staking coins online, but I see no reason to choose them above any other wallet/exchange that pays staking. 

So if you have the PoS coins, it is better not to trade in the Poloniex. The Poloniex are ripping off its clients.

i am not selling my eth, i am lending my eth to get more profit  Grin while waiting good news from the dev and waiting what eth will be in the future. for etc, i am ready to join with and if its can give me profit, then i will trade it but if its the time to stop or gets to ended, i will be stop trade etc. nothing to worried  Grin

That is good plan. From end of July to now, the price of ETH has risen a few percentage point, although not large, but still some increase.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sold all my eth for etc on: July 30, 2016, 03:20:25 PM
I hope in two months time, you will not regret your action today. The ETC might not survive the DAO hacker's dump.
18  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anyone booked profit when btc touched $ 400 ? on: July 18, 2016, 02:01:27 PM
I think the bitcoin price will stay at the $650 level for two more months. Then it will rise to $800 to 900.
19  Economy / Speculation / Re: $500 Within 2 Months? on: July 04, 2016, 01:42:05 PM
Why do we keep dredging up old and worn out topics?

Bitcoin has gone beyond $500 USD, it's slipping back down to $720 USD because everything correcting the market, like has happened with every other rally so far, and it looks like the market might have one more rally left in itself before the halving, if investors are willing to take the risk.

The bitcoin price did go beyond $500. It went up to $780. But it came back to $550 again. It will go up again.

I think so. The bitcoin will have the SegWit to be implement in the next Core release and it was under good test recently.
Well I think it is possible for it to go up to 800$ this coming halving. I hope the price exceeds my expectations or it will reach 1500$ but it's hard. Well I guess ill wait and see what will really happen.
its already almost goes to 800$ and still moving up while halving is approaching so we will expect more and how after halving 500-600$ stable price for us, bitcoin is a great investment if you just know where to put your money.

I think the price of the bitcoin will be around the $600 to 600 for the next few months. It will rise later.
20  Economy / Speculation / Re: $500 Within 2 Months? on: June 20, 2016, 12:09:17 PM
Am I the only one that think bitcoin will reach $500 within the next two months?
At the moment the price has passed $500 and it is now on its way to $700. I did not know that this was going to happen but I was wrong this time and the price has even passed $600.

The price is $760 now. It seems the price has risen very fast. It rose over 50% in the last 30 days, maybe there is a bubble.

The price is still around $760. I think the price is consolidating at the moment. It will rise to higher level soon.
