5041  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Strategies of Some Experts. on: November 23, 2017, 01:04:31 PM
Sorry to burst your bubble, but if I were to be a sort of "trading expert", I definitely wouldn't expose my strategies to the public. Why not make your own? Just follow basic tips of trading like: have patience, don't panic sell/buy, those stuff; and just create your own strategy. Best of luck.
Yes, sometimes there are tgings that no need to tell to everybody especially when your trading earnings will be affected. We have our own strategies, you have yours.

Well there are also some times that some of those who wants to learn want to know your trading patterns and strategies, but the most effective way is just to study the basics, and then make your own strategies and decision. Each of us have different trading styles and patterns, and the main objective is to earn or gain from it.
Basics is mainly needed when we do plan to start on trading. Being expert is not a joke since it would really require you lots of time and experience before you would able to reach that state. Im not a trading expert but somehow i do manage to be on profits. Strategies can really be made on your own but its not bad to get ideas and experiences from someone. It is good for reference and if you can able to apply in your trading then its much better.
5042  Economy / Economics / Re: Might not be a bad idea to sell off 5% of your stash.. on: November 23, 2017, 09:51:10 AM
And put up a buy at 4-8 fold under the current price.

BTC goes up and up from here you don't see that 5% jump.

BTC crashes as it likes to do, you seriously increase your position. Furthermore support is added at lower levels.
It ain't a bad move to sell 5% of your portfolio now then set buy to your intended re-entry point. You are right that by doing so, you won't regret if it goes up or down. Still, it is better to take your capital and take some profit if you can, then leave some and just hodl it. That way you can hold it without worrying of the future price.
Being a trader for how many years as of now and the main priority i do always aim is that i would really secure first my capital and re-roll on the profits that i made which i do strictly follow this implementation on my trading habits which turns out to be effective.There might be some loses but the important thing is that you would turn out to be profitable on the end of the day. 5% sell isnt bad even on 10% of your stash as long you can see that you are already on profits on such price range then it would really depend into a certain trader.

Please share your failures. How did you overcome it?  Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley
Your topic title doesnt correspond on the thing you do mention on here since failures doesnt have a origin  but its just a result of not having a knowledge into things. Mistakes are normal since not all things in this world we do have knowledge or idea on it.Just want to ask on what particular mistake are you referring to? since there are lots of mistakes on different things but since you are on this forum then it might be mistake on trading,investing,wallet scam related or any loss of bitcoin or altcoins. If we are talking to trading then lack knowledge,skills and experience is the reason but yet later on we can overcome this thing.
5044  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: What about Bitcoin and consumer protection? on: November 23, 2017, 08:42:42 AM
Is bitcoin has consumer protection?
Consumer protection is just only available or can be seen on centralized things which we wont ever see on Bitcoin itself. If a certain transaction have been done then it cant be revised no matter how the buyer didnt like on such transaction then he cant do nothing because all is irreversible and thats the beauty of bitcoin which i do really like and for most people.This is not like paypal or any other services that do need this protection.
5045  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Searching for your opinions for small RealEstate project on: November 23, 2017, 07:54:14 AM
Real estate projects are huge project and you have only $1.2m hard cap? Is that enough funds for a this kind of project? but if you have enough knowledge and amazing plans Im sure you can do it.
If you do tried up to read the topic title they are planning a "SMALL" Realestate project which that amount would be already sufficient i guess because it would really depend on what country this thing should be built.
I do have the same questions been asked above about the team because it way too exagerrated or even unbelievable. I am waiting for verification that have been asked above and waiting for the dev or owner to reply such thing because this would really be a good to see its transparency.
5046  Economy / Economics / Re: do you know about improper use of bitcoin? on: November 23, 2017, 06:38:58 AM
according to different observation i think few ways are available for abusing bitcoins transections such as Technical weakness , Greedy peoples ro dishonest people , proper management. i would like to describe above mentioned quotatin in briefly
1. technical weakness: we know its a peer to peer transection system throgh confirmed way. within a few second a dishonest  person can get more money by fast  clicking when submit second payment of different recipient.
2. proper management: there is so many lack of proper management of human or account holders. so many hackers want to hack system for getting money because bitcoins holder don't have any insurance like bank account holders. even government don't follow rules and regulation for virtual currency holders.
So what you think about it ?
Double spending? No its not easy as it sounds and that technical weakness you do mention do really have a very slim chance to go through since it cant really be broadcasted twice in the network once the transactions has been made.Lack of proper management then its our responsibility to take care of our coins.If you do set high security then hackers wont able to get those bitcoins that we do store. We are our own banks and thats the beauty of bitcoin among others.This thing do really depend on how sensible we are on managing our coins.
5047  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing on ico is the smart way to be millioner on: November 22, 2017, 04:00:27 PM
From the experience i am telling , instead of investing current alts , investing on ico's is the smart way to be millioner.

You can see some ico , have 3x-10x potential..

First days i have done mistakes now i only invest ico.

But for new people i am saying do a research before investing ico
It is not actually a smart way but would be rather the risky way on getting a millionair and yes its possible but would really depend on how much you did invest on a certain project and also not all ico are worth to be joined off which means possibility of getting scammed would really be always there which we should not be too confident on investing into it. Just put up the amounts that you  can afford to lose up but if we did well on making research on a certain project then we can really lessen the risk.
5048  Economy / Speculation / Re: If bitcoin falls 20% a day on: November 22, 2017, 03:20:42 PM
Do you choose to hold or sell? I choose to continue holding.
 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
If 20% a day drop price then 5 days bitcoins price would completely depleted which means it would be dead on 5 consecutive days of sudden price decrease. 1st day decrease it can still being  handled but on 2nd day im sure panic would really be there 40% drop isnt a joke which means theres something wrong in bitcoin how much more on 60% drop. You cant say that you would buy even more on those situations. You would really be hesitant on doing such thing.
5049  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: Change rules in bounty programs. on: November 22, 2017, 09:25:54 AM
How do you feel about the fact that in some bounty companies change the date of delivery of reports. Change the amount of coins.
 In general, at the height of the advertising company do what they want. I am amazed at this dishonest game. What is your opinion?
Feel pissed specially when you exert lots of efforts to market their company but ends up on recieving less amounts that supposed to be exact on whats being written or agreed before the campaign starts.This is common on where most bounty programs suddenly changed their rules specially the payrates which is really injustice for bounty hunters.We cant do anything about it since they do have the power on the funds and tend to forget it because if we do keep insisting it is still useless because outcome wont really be changed.
5050  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Coinbase - Views Please on: November 22, 2017, 09:02:57 AM
I am looking at Wallet options for my mining project in 2018.

Reviewed the likes of doing it myself with the likes of Xapo, Electrum etc; but interested in Forum members opinions of Coinbase for Wallet/Exchange capability.

Anyone had any experience of using their services? Good, bad or indifferent?

Mining project? You mean you will be storing a huge amount of bitcoins right? If thats the case using a wallet where your funds are handled by a third party is not a wise move.
As LeGaulois already explained, Coinbase monitors your activity and if they find something suspicious that is against to their TOS they might freeze your account. And yes, their support is plain crap.

If you have funds to buy a hardware wallet then I recommend you to go for it, They're ideal for large amounts. Or if not Bitcoin core (Full Node) or elctrum (SPV/light weight) should be fine. But please note that you should know some fundamental things about your chosen wallet because in some cases, they won't protect your coins from your careless move/s e.g. when you accidentally installed some unknown application that has malwares/keyloggers etc.
If this do involves mining project then expect we are talking huge chunks on here but depending if the mining farm is on large scale or small but well doesnt matter if we are really looking for the security of our bitcoins that being mined then we should not put in the option on storing it on 3rd parties just like being suggested by most people here. They do have the full control of your funds since you dont have they keys of your wallet into their site.Im sure you dont like that thing? Even myself wont really tend to use their service specially they do have some issues on blocking accounts.
5051  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you want China be back into Bitcoin? on: November 22, 2017, 08:15:53 AM
I think the answer here is obvious, and it is yes, since we already seen the impact that the Chinese can do when they banned their exchanges we saw a dip in the value of bitcoin, and for sure if they allow their exchanges to operate again and  Bitcoin be accepted again, they can give a big boost to the value of Bitcoin, though we can make it through without China, it is still much better if we all invest in something great.
Just like an old saying that "the more the merrier" and we do know China is a superpower when it comes to things specially on financial aspects (investments,etc). When it would decide to come back again then theres no need to oppose because it will really boost up again the price of bitcoin when their regulation or prohibition have been removed out. Knowing that they do really give impact when it comes to these industry.If they would decide to comeback,then why not? It would be much better if theres a unity on adopting bitcoin.
5052  Economy / Securities / Re: I have access to electricity with 0 cost, need someone to invest in a farm on: November 22, 2017, 07:18:35 AM
hi guys, I have electricity with zero cost and building where we can make a farm (building needs to be reorganized).  I'm new around this topic but researched a lot past 2 days and finally got conclusion that's mining is only profitable with very low or 0 cost electricity so it's nice opportunity  Grin Grin. If someone is interested please let me know. I'm thinking about investment under 50k from the beginning and if everything goes well then we go big  Cool Cool

I'll appreciate if you tell me any other useful places to post all about this

P.S Country : Georgia.  (bitfury invested 100 mln here for building megafarm  Shocked Shocked Shocked)

I have long been in the mining world .. where is there free electricity in this world? even you need a capital to make an electric generator .. you should rethink your idea .. nothing is free in this world ..

if you just make money by cheat I guess this is the way it's ridiculous.
He wont really mind to share up on where he did get those free electricity that he mention. I dont know that this free electricity do exist on where a certain individual can really claim that he has free energy. Sounds amazing and mining would really be profitable on that case but as you said this thing is just possible on cheating someone on where those electricity source came from. I agree on the word that nothing is free in this world which anything has its own cost.On op if he would seek for potential investors then it would be hard to entrust online.
5053  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New ICOs everywhere, What's your take on them? on: November 22, 2017, 06:34:36 AM
Hello,
Edited my message

What makes you support an ICO ?
Thanks.

Obviously you would want to try and avoid the most obvious scams.

If you don't do your own research and due diligence before investing and you get scammed, then it is really your own fault. ANd there is absolutely no shortage of scams out there at the moment. Every week there is news of an ICO going scam or whatever.

If they contribute positively to community of cryptos and actually has something to offer then you can definitely consider investing. Otherwise, skip and pass.
The main hindrance on this stuff is that we would really find it difficult on researching the potential ones considering on the number of ICO do almost launched on everyday. Community is being flooded by ICO even on the senseless ideas they trying out to create waiting for the devs to see that theres a spark or interest on those projects but knowing people or investor they are now clever and wise upto these day. Being scammed cant be avoided but i would say it is much lesser compared into the past.
5054  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Best Cloud minning to invest my Bitcoins ? on: November 21, 2017, 09:24:10 PM
im new and i now with coud minning , i can win some bitcoins
I want now opinion about this to invest some Bitcoins
Dont bother to engage on these kind of things because instead on earning profits you would definitely lose up either. If you dont like for that thing to happen then just pass on cloud mining and to think off it that most of them are scams,some of them are operating but do have contract duration which wont really be sufficient to reach up ROI since the difficulty do really increase overtime.
5055  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Speed up Bitcoin Transactions with this Simple Tool! on: November 21, 2017, 08:41:05 PM
Please do not download any soft from the links provided.
If you have already downloaded then do not install. Who knows, it may contain malware, spyware etc.

Op created this account just to post those links. So why should you trust someone with those links?

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Exactly. I was surprised at how inviting people were on the first few responses of this thread. You guys need to be much more careful about what you download online. There can be RATs that will easily get into your computers and take any information they want. Especially as bitcoin is going up, be extremely careful with this. Run it in a Remote Desktop or VM if you really want to test it out.

thank you for the information and advice.
it's better to prevent than to happen that is not in want.
All these people that has been saying thanks, I will try it out later, I will check it out later, I will use it later blablablablabla… didn’t anyone of them try it out? Maybe this is a spyware or kind of malware, and all these people commenting trash are just his partners so they can get people to install a stupid software they don’t know about.

Nobody should click on that link, we better wait Lightning Network, though it tarries, it must surely come. And to the op– Thank you, nice try!
These kind of methods are already been bust for quiet sometime.Supposed to be those accounts commenting that they will try it later or any positive response are just alts of OP. Reading at first glance is already suspicious  for me a newbie account with just a single post isnt really trust-able at all.We should really be careful on downloading stuffs online and on random basis specially if given by newly created accounts. Even on old accounts if anything looks suspicious then dont proceed because once your pc would be infected you would really regret later on.
5056  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is an altcoin on: November 21, 2017, 08:07:03 PM
There were many cryptocurrencies before Bitcoin.

Therefore Bitcoin is an altcoin - and will also be beaten by another altcoin, just as it did itself.

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/quick-history-cryptocurrencies-bbtc-bitcoin-1397682630/





The author said "The first known (to me) attempt at cryptocurrencies occurred in the Netherlands, in the late 1980s" in the first paragraph. Emphasis on the word a'ttempt', this means that before bitcoin there had been attempts to make digital cash. When we look back at history there have been attempts do to a lot of inventions, which all failed. Since bitcoin has become successful with mass adoption, it deserves the credit of been a pioneer.

Also lets not forget that cryptocurrency comes with amazing technology not just putting money on phone cards that people used to trade when they had no money, nobody heard of debit cards and other prepaid gift cards.
Very well said and this was i supposed to say too which there are really some attempts in the past about digital cash but all of them failed and also come to think off that those plans of digital cash are centralized not decentralized.This is why bitcoin is somehow specially compared into those coins if they are successfully created. For now we cant really remove the title that bitcoin is the father of all cryptocurrency and all coins who are after it would really be always considered as altcoins.
5057  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do most people invest in wrong ICOs to lose money ? on: November 21, 2017, 07:31:58 PM
This board amazes me sometimes.

All the hyped ICOs are killing people - Bancor, Monaco etc and there is no self reflection.

People need to change the way they participate in projects.

All the rubbish needs to be shunned.

Sectors need to be chosen carefully, and projects thereafter.

REAL energy projects (i.e. NOT asset managers such as wepower, and NOT the pure solar/other renewable energy investment rubbish where crypto is just "added" to the process as a marketing tool) should be favoured, such as Grid+ and Prosume Energy.

Stop following people who have proven themselves useless.
You do really have the point but stopping it would really be useless because there are people who do easily got caught with the hype specially when a certain ICO do really make some sweet words regarding on development,future plans blah blah etc. This is one of the reason why do people choose up the wrong projects which this thing cant really be avoided because its always been part of the risk on this kind of investment.
If you do decide to invest then you should know the risk onwards if you hit the wrong spot.
5058  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Do ICO's need licenses? on: November 21, 2017, 06:56:46 PM
I'm sorry I couldn't catch all the opinions, but in my view some regulations are needed for ICOs. It's not about limiting the magnitude of initial coin offerings, but making them more transparent and even attractive cautious investors. Banning ICOs is obviously an extremely poor solution; yet a form of ground rules would be crucial for the success of the future offerings.   
Banning them would really be pointless.Just like on what china did on such decision they do ban but later on they would comeback and require it to be legalize because they do see that they can able to make money on those things which banning isnt really a solution and i would rather agree on making them regulated which i do really see the positive effects if this thing would really be implemented. It would really lessen the risk of scam ICO since they are been asked or its compulsory to comply with the rules that have been set out.
5059  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will increase to $100,000 says expert on: November 21, 2017, 05:49:31 PM
As per the report written by max keiser of RT.com. He says, the bitcoin will increase to $100,000 and only top 20 coins will remain stable.

Keiser also blames bitcoin cash for misusing bitcoin name and it is just alt coin and doesn't hold for long time.

see report here https://www.rt.com/business/410252-bitcoin-god-gift-keiser/
Its really good to hear off on these kind of speculations on some people who do have names on some industries but i would say that this thing wont really be possible. $100k price is way too unrealistic to consider even on $50k i would still able not to believe on reaching this price. Come to think off on the situation on where it marketcap would really able to surpass fiat then i cant be sure on what would happen on those times but well no one really knows on what would happen ahead.So lets just sit and relax on possible thing to happen along the way.
5060  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: 19 words seed . help please on: November 20, 2017, 09:17:19 PM
Awwwww... bummer there wasn't any coin in it.  Reminds me of when I put Coinbase on buy'n'forget for while... I did that for almost three years.  The sudden increase of Bitcoin earlier this year reminded me that I use to use Blockchain.info to store some of my coin.  I forgot my password but after some work I was able to get it... I had high anticipation for what could be in the wallet since I've been in Bitcoin since 2012.  When it first opened I saw the number 34 in balance and I was stocked!  Bitcoin at the time was around $4000 so I was thinking rollin... but it was actually just $34.  Oh well.

Ahhh man that sucks.
I mined around 40-50BTC between 2010 - 2012. Finally gave up as it wasn't profitable. If I remember correctly the price averaged 2-6$. So I tucked the wallet away. In the meantime, a few new computers and reformatted quite a few hard drives.
Haven't seen any trace of the wallet ever since. This memory haunts me everyday, fuck ,I could have been a millionaire now.

These kind of situation do really suck on where we do missed the golden opportunity to become millionaires on those amounts that we do neglect on those young years of bitcoin which we didnt really expect that it would able to reach the situation as of now.In situation of op i assume that email containing phrases wasnt his own wallet maybe others  Cool . Eagering on opening it up since it is quiet old but when he opened. Viola. 0 balance for you mate and that do really suck and burned our hopes on getting rich. haha
