Would you really trust your own money on someone else's decision? You see the thing here is even if you copy trade the highest gaining trader in that website there is no guarantee that he will make profits for you on all of his trades. The trader can basically manipulate the market but what if he is wrong or the money he has is not enough to make the move he wanted to do? Or what if he is in collusion with another trader where they just decide to short Bitcoin? He basically doesn't have any liability when you lose your money as you allowed him to use it so all the risk is on your side, he has the upper hand when it comes to your money so I don't think any trader can be trusted with that even if they are the most recognized one.
1342  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Californian judge will let XRP lawsuit to proceed against Ripple on: March 03, 2020, 06:57:01 PM
I still have mix feelings about this one considering the precedent it will bring in the crypto industry. A ruling in favor for Ripple would mean that the advantage will be for the crypto developers that even if they failed to bring their project on track the investors has nothing to do in the hopes of their crypto to grow depending on how the project will progress. However a ruling in favor of the investors would mean that the advantage will be for buyers of any crypto project which would make their investors easily come for them, the bad thing about this one is of course projects who have might side track a bit will be under this kind of class lawsuits from their disgruntled investors. So really the crypto industry here for the US will have a bad precedent that could slow things down for crypto projects overall.
1343  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-03-02] Mike Novogratz Explains Why Bitcoin (BTC) Is Failing as Safe Haven on: March 03, 2020, 06:08:01 PM
~snip~

I have no doubt that a decent number of big Wall St willies do have some BTC now, enough to have an effect if they decide to offload. It doesn't exist in a vacuum of its own creation any more. It would be a lot easier to think that if this were 2013.

I don't know or care whether that affects the current price action but it's time to start considering correlation when ownership overlaps with the normal markets.

There might be some big players and even institutional investors holding some Bitcoin but not all of them are as big as what the whales we have in the market right now, if I always think about traditional (stock) investors I always think about big people like Warren Buffet always having negative comments towards about it so I won't be surprised that other traditional investors have the same view as him maybe only a few considerable big stock investors are holding BTC but it won't be a decent amount to influence the market. The even bigger possibility is this are whales are the ones taking advantage of the bad news and are starting to short Bitcoin so that they can buy it cheaper again they have done it in the past on taking advantage of the market scare and I won't be surprised that they are doing it again.
1344  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Finance Minister of Nepal accepts cryptocurrency is the future of e-economy on: March 03, 2020, 05:31:31 PM
Did this guy just posted a fake headline to create attention? I spend about 5 minutes searching in Google to see news related about the acceptance of crypto in Nepal but I didn't see anything near about it. From "Nepal Cryptocurrency" to "Finance Minister accepts crypto" there are no news related to it and the top result showing in Google is your thread about this one. You wouldn't even see any kind of news about their crypto status for the past month, so tell me have you read this in some kind of local tweet in your country that's why we still haven't seen any global news for it?
1345  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-03-02] Mike Novogratz Explains Why Bitcoin (BTC) Is Failing as Safe Haven on: March 03, 2020, 04:50:26 PM
Novogratz is basically assuming that most stock holders are also Bitcoin holders that's why there is also a sell off happening in the market which I doubt is correct. There is no studies that shows investors in the stock market are also holding Bitcoin nor any studies that denies it. You may think right now since bad mews are piling up from last week it mat somehow be the cause of Bitcoin's price falling but like what I have said in my previous related posts Bitcoin was bound to correct starting last week considering the price it had achieved and how overbought it was, the timing of the bad mews was just very coincidental.
1346  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto mass adoption achievement on: March 02, 2020, 09:21:54 PM
There is a lot of good cryptocurrencies out there like Bitcoin and Ethereum but no matter how good the project is it's growth even if it has tons of features it can only go so far in terms of mass adoption. If we are only talking about crypto mass adoption here the crypto itself having a lot of features is not the solution because it will be highly dependent on what laws and regulations as well as support the government will bring for it. One of the best examples on how regulation and laws affects mass adoption is China where the government itself it planning to go digital in the near future starting on their own fiat where they try to lessen and lessen the used of their physical currency. Honestly it is the only thing hindering the way for crypto users to grow in numbers since more often than no majority of the countries will not see crypto adoption as one of their main priorities for the country.
1347  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does the Coronavirus (Covid-19) make BTC to rise? on: March 02, 2020, 08:06:38 PM

I believe what you are saying because there is a need for price correction in the market for the uptrend and this is not the first time I have seen this bitcoin price fluctuation. With these interpretations, bitcoin has grown well in the new year. What I am looking for , this fundamentals to drive the growth and popularity of this market.

And what fundamentals are you talking about? Bitcoin literally has know fundamentals only technicals that's why it is hard to pinpoint the exact fair market value for Bitcoin and that is also why it is very voltatile as only the demand and supply as well as the FUD and FOMO are only moving it. If you are here just waiting for fundamentals then I would suggest that you just move your money in the stock market where you'll have a good time learning about their earnings on their annual reports. If you still want to stay in the crypto market then the right thing for you to do now is to study technical analysis rather than FA which is more useful in the market right now. Don't be that kind of trader who will just look at news and make their buy and sell decisions on it just like how a lot of people are connecting the coronavirus and Bitcoin's price correction.
1348  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Timestamping documents with the blockchain on: March 02, 2020, 07:12:08 PM
Does anyone on this board have a recommendation about which service to use or how to do this? It is preferable not to use a 3rd party.

Any kind of service outside from your organization/subsidiary will always count as a 3rd party service so I doubt that I can recommend you anything aside from developing your own blockchain for the purposes of time stamping  your documents. This is the only way to know that the blockchain you have is not tainted with any kind of dirt as you are the one who developed and control it and you are the only one who has the access for it. Maybe what you are looking for instead is a developer who can do develop your own blockchain-based time stamping program.
1349  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reason behind ALTCOINS not bouncing Back on: March 02, 2020, 06:13:27 PM
       c) Altcoin will still remain dead due to Bitcoin's FOMO

Even though Altcoins cannot mimic what they did during the late 2017 they are still somehow mirroring Bitcoin's movements the only difference is they aren't as high or as near in their ATHs when they are moving along with Bitcoin. The only thing I see why the bear market that was triggered after the 2017 bull run cause some kind of FUD that made a lot of demand go away from Altcoins, most people who entered the market during the bull market are looking for the "Next Bitcoin" that's why they resorted in looking at Altcoins the problem is all the newbies who bought them all lose their money because of a bad trade. This cause a lot of demand going out from the market and all what is left are still the ones trusting BTC and the crypto industry.
1350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you tried explaining provable fairness to old-school gamblers? on: March 02, 2020, 04:44:23 PM
Introduce Bitcoin by way of crypto gambling? Why not? After all Bitcoin is a digital currency and it has proven all through out these years that it has multiple purposes from being a money to be able to trade it and earn some profit. People are already hook with playing on a crypto gambling site as it is more convenient to them and is easily accessible compared to a traditional casino where you actually  need to visit before you bet. It might be a tough sell to them but once they understand the process I think it will be easier for them to join in.

I think this price correction has been overwhelming, don't you think so?
It's less than 71 days away from Christmas and Bitcoin price  is under $ 10k

And don't you think that every time Bitcoin suddenly goes up like what it did early this year isn't overwhelming? Our market is always moving in the extremes as compared to other markets we have, that even if we are consolidating we are still moving around 4-5% daily. If you aren't used to this price movements then you aren't still suited to be in this market or at least be prepared for the nect price movements of Bitcoin.  Just keep in mind what I said earlier, if you thought that this price movement was “overwhelming” because it has something to do with the Coronavirus then you are wrong as BTC was bound to correct everytime it suddenly goes up.
1352  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: SCAM Cloudbet - Locked my account because of accusations of using BOT softwares on: March 01, 2020, 05:57:18 PM
I think you should withdraw your accusation since the reason this thread is only holding is because they have locked your account with the assumption that the .08 BTC is still in their website.

If I understood correctly, that 0.08btc is his profits, not his initial deposit.

He has already withdrawn his initial deposit. He wants his winnings too.

As far as I know there are many casinos that don't let their players to have multiple accounts. It is a common ToS rule. If we decide that cloudbet is doing it wrong here, we'll have to flag every other casino that locked its players for creating multiple accounts which doesn't sound right to me.

Yes 0.08 btc is my profit and I have not withdrawn that.

Secondly, I never made additional account, I only used one, which is my own. How did I break ToS rule, if my brother isn't even living in the same place as I am? Can you explain this to me?

Well if that is the case then I don't think you have the right to claim your earnings. I understand the fully Cloudbet's side here since you won that winnings while breaking the rule thus simply making yu ineligible of claiming that winnings. This wasn't even about you having another account since you already admitted that you are using a bot sofware to bet in Cloudbet which is one of their rules. I hope that you understand a little about obligations and contracts and why breaking them made your winnings voidable.
1353  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does the Coronavirus (Covid-19) make BTC to rise? on: March 01, 2020, 05:05:03 PM
I can't figure out why this coronavirus scare is affecting the markets so much--people are saying that it's going to negate all corporate earnings for 2020 and crap like that, but I don't see how it's possible to have nearly that kind of an effect on the economy.  Investors are obviously scared, though--that much is real.

As far as bitcoin goes, I'd point out that it's still around $8500 and that isn't bad at all.  Yes, it took a little nosedive from its 2020 high but it's not like it crashed back down to $3k or anything like that.  I'm hoping the general fear will subside and that the world of medicine will get the spread of the virus under control--and that the media stops feeding the fear, which they obviously love to do.

In the meantime, use hand sanitizer liberally.

The “market scare” only started the drops in prices but the reason of China's conditione worsening is there. Like what I have said in my previous posts related to the COVID-19 affecting stock prices it's relationship towards US companies are big in a way that US Companies that has factories in China are affecting their production which affects their revenue potential. Not only that as it also affects their revenue directly in a way that China is one of their biggest markets. Bitcoin right now doesn't show any signs that it was affected by the coronavirus as Bitcoin was due for a correction when it was overbought at the mid-week of February, the news connecting the outbreak and Bitcoin prices falling down are only misleading us.
1354  Other / Meta / Re: Preview feature, how many people do not know how to use it? on: March 01, 2020, 04:11:11 PM
I honestly committed this mistake several times already and although I don't use the "preview" button often I always try to look at the post I made after it has been published so that I can edit grammar errors as well as incorrect quoted messages like the ones in your example. I believe that the rank has nothing to do with it but it is more related in your posting habit and if you actually care about what you have posted, the only way I see this error from happening is from people after writing their posts will just hit the "Post" button and do other things in the internet after that. This is their mistake on not caring about what they have posted and not reviewing it afterwards.
1355  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: SCAM Cloudbet - Locked my account because of accusations of using BOT softwares on: March 01, 2020, 02:53:58 PM
@Coach0909 can you confirm on what they are saying is true that you have withdrawn all of your funds before they locked your account? If this is true then this isn't a scam accusation at all, they didn't scam you for any amount and the reason why your account is blocked is brought by your own wrong doing and that is by using a BOT which if you are reading their rules and regulations won't be a problem. I think you should withdraw your accusation since the reason this thread is only holding is because they have locked your account with the assumption that the .08 BTC is still in their website.

1. Crypto Investment
2. Crypto Trading- is it just all about buying tokens and sellings

I think this two are the same thing if you are calling about Investing in coins and later on trading them for gains then it is the same thing. However if you are talking about crypto investing in terms of earning daily/monthly fixed income then there is no legit option out there and all of it are just scams, the crypto industry is so volatile that giving a fixed rate on a daily basis is really not a viable way for any businesses out there. The closest thing you can get as an investment in this industry is by purchasing STOs as these are closely related to stocks in terms of them being directly linked to the company's financials as well as it paying dividends for its coin holders.
1357  Economy / Reputation / Re: Copycat Signatures: Chipmixer and Wasabi on: March 01, 2020, 11:12:56 AM
But it is obviously a clickbait. Using someone's else design to promote similarly service is conscious deception. The low marketing budget is not enough justification.

Not entirely through, everyone could have a similar design compared to what you have as really I don't think people can create an entirely unique design. The only problem here with the "ChipMixer" being edited out and replacing it to "Wasabi Wallet" they haven't replaced the logo of ChipMixer in the signature which is protected by their trademark. As far as Wasabi Wallet being promoted, I haven't seen any real activity from them in the forum so this might just be an individual trying to promote a competitor from ChipMixer and used their signature to be used in promoting Wasabi Wallet.
1358  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: The US closes big sale of $40 million Bitcoin on: March 01, 2020, 09:58:47 AM
At least that is what the government want's you to know. Even if these Bitcoins are whitelisted and is cleared from all of its taint there are no assurances that the government is not tracking you somehow. It only takes them knowing your bank account as well as the receiving address they will use in order for them to track your activities with their Bitcoin. So if they are really looking into all of your transactions all kinds of sending and receiving that will be done in that address would just arouse their suspicion on your activity.
If you're that paranoid in terms of privacy or anonymity then you can make steps that government wont able to trace you up when it comes to activity
by either mixing up those coins or broken it on several addresses for them to lost track.

Like I said there is a chance of the authorities monitoring your activities from the start and sending it to a mixing service or distributing it on several wallets will be the first wrong move for the winners as this will just arouse the suspicion more from them. If the winners are as clean as what they are thinking then why would they just try to lose their trace on them to begin with? I think their only option would be is to just hold the Bitcoins they won and make it as their investment or use it as money rather than do anything to arouse their suspicion more from you.
1359  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: The US closes big sale of $40 million Bitcoin on: February 29, 2020, 08:54:48 PM
~snip~

Probably not. I don't think bidders are worried about government surveillance.

I believe bidders actually pay a premium above market for government auctioned bitcoins since they are whitelisted and there is no possibility of unwanted taint. They are buying from the government so they can hold and sell the bitcoins out in the open using traditional legal channels.

At least that is what the government want's you to know. Even if these Bitcoins are whitelisted and is cleared from all of its taint there are no assurances that the government is not tracking you somehow. It only takes them knowing your bank account as well as the receiving address they will use in order for them to track your activities with their Bitcoin. So if they are really looking into all of your transactions all kinds of sending and receiving that will be done in that address would just arouse their suspicion on your activity.
1360  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Do independent individuals have crypto wallet business opportunity over MNCs? on: February 29, 2020, 08:09:07 PM
Are you just low key hinting anyone reading your thread that you are a suitable business partner for their crypto wallet project? Since I can see that your accounts is tied in to a website related to a P2P lending. Nevertheless why are your encouraging individuals to put in a business on an already saturated market? The crypto industry is actually big and you are trying to limit people here on a business that already has big players involve. If you are looking for a partner yourself I think you are already giving them a bad advice with your business plan so I would suggest that you think about other services you can provide in the market rather than just a common crypto wallet that we already have dozens to be downloaded in the PlayStore.
