5061  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why So Many ICOs — What Does It All Mean? on: November 20, 2017, 08:20:28 PM
The world of cryptocurrencies has exploded like never before in 2017. The price of Bitcoin has catapulted to over $7000 for the first time in its history. There has also been an increase in the number of initial coin offerings (ICOs). According to CoinDesk, since Jan 2017, ICOs went from roughly $300 million raised in total since they began in 2014, to $2.7 billion raised as of October.

Read more about it here
The main reason why ICO is booming up because they do see that theres a strong support of the community when they do decide to launch up a certain good project which would really make profits so easy and the trend goes on and now the reality comes through on which scammers and frauds joined up the action and making their own coin and market them public which do make raised some funds and poof. Theyre gone and scam its investors. They are really many as of now and if we do try to calculate how many % do become success on these ico would really be less than 3% overall. Cheesy

Many banks love the blockchain technology.
In my country, our banks is learning about it and trying to adopt the technology, but they're like hating bitcoin.
I don't know why, but wish our banks adopt it fast, too.
Why they hate it? because they cant make money out of it.Thinking off that those banks are greedy bastards which do really aim on making money on services that they would see that would benefit them and seeing bitcoin would really oppose such thing this is why they wont really tend to adopt it but rather use the technology being used on it when it comes on making transactions which is possible by blockchain technology.There are lots already who are interested on this technology which would really contribute and fasten up transactions that can be applied through their service.

Hi Im trying to log into Blockchain.info I can access my CP but I cant see my Balance , its frozen and another panel showing $0.00. Was about to do a split second transaction and get back to other things , now Im stuck. Anyone experienced this today or even before ? Thanks
Dont panic dude there are really times that blockchain do really have these kind of problems and usually they do have maintenance when it do happens. I did experience the thing on having a frozen display and not even showing balance.I have tried up to refresh but yet it is still the same because i do presume its just an error or whatsoever glitch on the system but it didnt disappear which means i it something wrong on the site itself. They are really good wallet and been used for hundreds of thousand or even million bitcoin users.

5065  Economy / Economics / Re: investment mode of btc is best or currency mode??? on: November 19, 2017, 06:59:10 PM
A trend has been started that bitcoin is now used only for raising income by buying and selling it but we are ignoring its most important fact that it was created to be used as currency and if it can be used as the currency it would really help community to enjoy its eases and regions who are accepting btc must have to start it as currency this will automatically boost user no's as well a prices,
If we do tried out to read up again the whitepaper of bitcoin then we would really able to see that bitcoin is created for the sole of innovative new way payment system and investment mode is just a plus which lots of people do really treat it special because of the benefits that it gives to humankind. Currency mode or investment mode no matter which way we do treat it we should be thankful that it has being created but i do strongly believe that most people do see about bitcoin is on investment side because btc does really give huge profits overtime thats why it becomes popular.
5066  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Anyone use YoBit anymore? on: November 19, 2017, 04:03:45 PM
Everyone should stay away from YoBit. The yob2x coin of them is showing their true colour.
Yobit does have a lot of scam coins in their exchange and i am sure they are ones who come up with those coins and hype them in the chat section and then dump when people invest in it and that coin is dead and they will move into a new one and this is happening for a long time.
Thats why we should never ever listen on those people who are telling shills on the trollbox specially on yobit because you would only lose up money when you tend to buy those coins because once they dump then for sure you cant do anything about it and one thing i do observe on that exchange is that there are lots of bots who do pump and dump such shitcoins.One glimpse you would possibly lose it all. There are lots of shitcoins on there thats why i dont trust them and long time ago i do move in more reliable exchange than on this one.
5067  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Question about ICO's on: November 19, 2017, 03:32:17 PM
I know this means initial coin offering.  I also know there is a section of it on this forum.



So what i want to know is this.  When something like this occurs and you want to take part in it, say whatever coin it is, how do you do it?  And when you do, do you need to give them a btc deposit on how much of that coin you want?  When would you know how much that coin costs? 



The thing is i want to use an example of a few coins.  For example, i know waves and shift are sort of new... well waves is not that new but shift is.  Well if i heard about waves, i probably would definitely buy this coin because it sounds very good.  Yes i know that sounds foolish to say.  But when waves and shift came out, how many shares do most ppl buy when it comes out?  Do you have to put a deposit before the coin comes out with btc such as i want x amount of waves or shift?  The other thing i want to know is how long does it take for a coin to come out and then it explodes to the point where everyone talks about it on the altcoin discussion or speculation?



And is that subforum here the only way to know about the new ico's?  The issue though is when i visit that subforum, it looks like a lot of spam etc.  Like there are posts everywhere and so many coins etc.  But is there a way to find out what new coins has come out recently?  But if he did come out recently, wouldn't that mean you didn't take part in the ico and you have to buy through an exchange?  Or this would not be possible though because its too early?


For example, when waves and shift came out, assuming you didn't take part in the ico... how soon could you buy waves and shift through bittrex?  Or could you buy it through their website?


The thing is i want to know of new coins that are coming out and then i would research it a bit and then would definitely be interested in buying some of these coins especially if they are very cheap.  I mean i can't believe coins like waves and shift in the history showed that they started out as 20 cents or 1 cent or even less than that etc.

ICO- Initial Coin offering which this is the best time to buy on a certain coin on its possible lowest price or discounted price but talking on being listed on exchanges would really depend on how the developer would update his own creation or token.This is always been part of the risk and when we buy a coin their ANN page would display or tell the investors on what would be the equivalent of tokens you would recieve if you decide to depositt btc. XXXX BTC= XXXX token. It would depend on its pricing. The thing here is that we should select on those potential ones which we can see that would really sustain for long.
5068  Economy / Economics / Re: Does bitcoin really work as real transaction ? on: November 19, 2017, 03:05:44 PM
Maybe it works real transaction like sending money,loading,bills if you have good  internet connection thats no problem about that.But theres people not using internet they want to have transaction to office or branches,they have more that they don,t know what bitcoin is they afraid to use in real transaction but and they dont know how much is currency per bitcoin to there countries thats why they dont buy bitcoin.


This is why fiat currencies would really still remain strong and would still exist for more years because there are still people who do prefer to stick into the old ways rather than on engaging on new ones unless if theres a strict implementation or changes.Bitcoin transactions are real transactions butt do only happen virtually just like the same on transaction online banking but yet bitcoin isnt centralized and thats the beauty of it and why people do really like to use it for anonymity matters.
5069  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading questions on: November 19, 2017, 10:03:12 AM
•In converting Bitcoins to money is still called trading?  

•In connection with the percentage or price of bitcoins I will go and exchange it to buy in lower price value and sell and high?

•Will that be a good help? for make my money anonymously grow?
When you do convert something you are actually doing trading. Buy low sell high is the common thing on doing trading which you would definitely sell out your coins or stash when you do see that you are already on profits but this thing isnt really easy to do specially when emotions of seeing negative profits or folio would really be there.By just holding bitcoin for long term you would already make it grow and holding bitcoin is anonymous and no one could able to find out regarding on your holding no matter how much thousands you do hold on.
5070  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Xapo or blockchain? on: November 19, 2017, 09:22:24 AM
xapo is good but blockchain is better

Probably yes, Xapo is the good kind of wallet ( but like you said ) Blockchain is much better than Xapo because it's secure.

I would go for the Blockchain because its more secure and also way more trusted than than the other wallet of these days to be honest.
I'm also using blockchain.info for my bitcoin , and yes that is good wallet because its the best for the online wallet and there are 2FA authentication to secure our bitcoin.
If we talk  about the security of both of them then I think both of them are very secure.. I am using both of them from an year and I do not have faced any issue from them while if we talk about the expenditure then I will suggest for to use blockchain because the fees of blockchain is very low and you can set your own fees while xapo has a high fees.
We do have the same opinion here about between two wallet and if we do try to compare the fees then i would really go for blockchain since we can able to set dynamic fees regarding or depending on our needs on how long it would be confirmed.On what i am doing when i do see that the network isnt congested i do set only small fees lower than on the amounts suggested just to save up more satoshis on such transfer.I dont bother on the confirmation because it wont really took so long since network isnt too traffic and im sure that transactions would really be broadcasted easily.
5071  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it safe to participate in ICO's? on: November 18, 2017, 08:46:41 PM
Right now there are many ICOs coming out, is it really safe to participate in any of it and spend that much? In participating ICOs I have high hopes that these coins could be the next Bitcoin or other currencies that are really going up in the market.
you does not actually join in ico, you gamble there because you are not sure what is the outcome.You are taking the risk between losing and gaining because you may be scammed or get something in return. Most icos that are coming out is scam, not all but most of them so you should be careful when participating an ico, do your own research to know if it is worthy to be trusted.

Some people see ico as a multiplication method for their money. This is very false. It's safe if and only if you really searched for the project team and the wihte paper. Otherwise, no safe zone in ico.
In my opinion, the ICO's is very dangerous. You do not know someday, you can lose money because it is high risky. The ICO's made the cryptocurrency world became a bad place in the eye of some investors in past time. You can see the Chinese government have banned ICO's to keep safe their economy. It like a threat to cryptocurrency for  the future.
You are just talking on some scenario which i dont see that it is really major problem but government would really be alarmed if this behavior or practices would still continue. Talking about on investment side on ICO it is indeed dangerous in the sense as investors we would really lose up money if we did put our money on the wrong one.This is why participating any of them would really have always the risk or being tied up already which we should really be ready anytime on what would be the outcome.
5072  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: which is better? trading crypto or trading stocks? on: November 18, 2017, 08:14:11 PM
hi guys, i was wondering where should i invest? invest in trading crypto or in trading stocks? which is more profitable?

i need your opinion guys, thanks
These kind of questions have been asked already for how many times on this forum but i would still answer you regarding into this. When you do see on how fast you to make profits then i would go for crypto because prices are too volatile compared to stocks which means the more its movement the more profits it would be but depending on how good you are on riding with the waves. High Profitability= High risk and this thing we should really always put it on our minds. I have done stock trading it is really good though but harvesting time is longer that you anticipated.
5073  Economy / Economics / Re: Regulating Bitcoin on: November 18, 2017, 07:43:48 PM
I think it needs to be done to regulate Bitcoin because this currency is very freely used by many people for crime. But just for the use, but if regulating the Bitcoin price I refuse.

well regulations were needed just to filtered the launches of ico for it became too in demand that sone are launched just to scam people, regulation to minimize fees , but it might result also for additional taxes or worse banning when government didn't finds a way to benefit on it.
In terms of taxation the regulations might affect the cryptocurrency user community. But in terms of usage accessibility, the regulations will give users the freedom to use bitcoin and avoid the fear of governments interruptions. Another major flaw that happens is the control, somehow an central power tries to keep track of the user which is not good for the functioning of a decentralized asset.
Keeping track of user’s activities? I don’t really see anything wrong with that, and I won’t even bother if that was to really happen. Only those that wouldn’t like to see that happen are those that are into illegal stuffs and making use of dark webs to carry out their evil plans.

I don’t do anything evil, so I wouldn’t mind. Being legalized and regulated will give us freedom to do almost anything with bitcoin, but it can never be legalized and controlled by government, because it is decentralized. Government can only control something that is within its country.
The true freedom for me is that i do have the full control of my money and not all people who do love anonymity are those people who are doing illegal stuffs because most people do really love that no one could watch their activities even on their legal spendings. Regulating bitcoin wont really be possible because we do know that bitcoin is a decentralized stuff this is why most government doesnt like bitcoin and cant be easily adopted into the place. They do only see the negative impacts of bitcoin not on its benefits.
5074  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it time to Buy Alts & Hold??? on: November 18, 2017, 06:48:06 PM
Now that segwit2x is called off, yes, it is really the time and great time to buy altcoins. It is their time to shine because segwit2x killed them before now they should rise.
To those who would want to take the chance, now is just their best shot. Since the news was dropped, a lot of the altcoins are already springing up and we are going to end up having a huge push to the moon for most of them very soon. Any smart person now will quickly take to the exchanges to do the needful.

But in my experiences, altcoins are only good for short term and long term holding is not at all recommended. We must focus on highly established coins when concern about long term holding. But unfortunately after litecoin and eth, I am not seeing anything suitable for long term holding.
When it comes to long term holding on Altcoins then only a few would really be worth to hold up and as you said most people or trader as of now do focus on short trading because they do like to see up profits on shorter time unlike on planning to hold up for how many months to come. For those people who did buy on those dips or most of altcoins are on reds do definitely on profits as of now because most of them have recovered already which means its an was an easy profits on them. This kind of dips on prices are really opportunities to make money.
5075  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Many Bittrex accounts were hacked on: November 18, 2017, 04:28:12 PM
Source I wrote above.... it looks like this.
https://ibb.co/nfmYF6
So you do mean there are unusual log-in attempts on some accounts which is possibly being compromised but telling to public about the thing of many account were hacked then its not appropriate because you cant post a proof that there are lots already and bittrex would make an announcement if theres a breach or security flaws. Theres might some instances but would really be few in numbers this is why we should always set 2fa or secondary layer of security on our accounts specially if theres a fund inside it or coins being stored up.
5076  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin dies does altcoin die? on: November 17, 2017, 04:46:49 PM
Bitcoin is a very popular crypto coin today, we know that Bitcoin will be very expensive in the future but I imagine if Bitcoin die, whether there will be hope for the future of altcoin? because most altcoin exchanges are to bitcoins
your opinion is highly appreciated. Smiley

If bitcoin dies, I Dont think altcoins would die as well. Bitcoin is just a part of cryptocurrency, and there are lots of altcoins that could take the place of bitcoin once it dies, ethereum is a good example of altcoin that even though what happens to the value of bitcoin, whether it goes up or die, it wont be affected by it.
Right. If Bitcoin dies, it will be an opportunity for the others cryptocurrency continue developing stronger. For sure that Ethereum will take the first place from Bitcoin. However, Bitcoin won't die and it will take the first place very long. Absolutely Bitcoin's death won't affect to the others altcoin.
If bitcoin die then ETH would really be a strong candidate for the top spot if we do try to look on the rankings we would able to make assumptions or clearly see which one would possibly take the spot and i would go for ETH and the situation on where bitcoin would die i dont think that altcoin will die too because some of them are independent on bitcoin itself which means even no matter happen into bitcoin they would still exist and wont really be affected on the event. The thing here is that altcoins developer will really strive harder to get that top spot and would be the next kind of crypto.
5077  Economy / Economics / Re: Central of the Philippines Recognizes Bitcoin on: November 17, 2017, 03:05:56 PM
Bitcoin being recognized by the Bangko Central will also open doors for our Overseas Contract Workers to invest their hard earned money and earn additional income.   At the same time, Bitcoin currency can be accepted as a form of remittance from different countries which is also good for our country as well. This is really an awesome news.
I think it will be more accepted as a payment system where they can use for remittances but not as an investment.
Majority of the filipino still do not understand about bitcoin and our media is not showing the positive side of bitcoin, it will take time before they can understand and that will only happen when bitcoin are rampantly use in big countries and our government will support it.
When it comes into investment i would say that most filipinos would really be keen or hesitant on that one specially bitcoin is only new into their ears and knowing that they do experience scams online then i would say it would takes time for them to engage and i would say only few % of filipinos are totally trusting bitcoin as of now considering that PH do have huge population but only a few who do aware on bitcoins existence. They are really recognizing bitcoin but only for its original purpose which is a innovative new way payment system.

5079  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How to start investing with 1$? on: November 17, 2017, 01:38:17 PM
So here I am with about 1.5$ in my poloniex account today. What advice would you give me to make this 1.5$ into 150$ by the end of next year that is 2018?

Anyplace I could get to know about pump n dumps before they happen? Any particular cheap crypto that I should hold onto?
It's extremely hard picking 1 alt to invest 1,5$ and expect to get 150 even if it's more than 1 year. But it's definitely possible by doing daily trade if you have some experience on it. It's better to get some job and invest some of you wage later rather than working hard in daily trading from 1,5$ starting capital.
I agree on this one which $1.5 starting capital would really be a tough job for you to put up extreme effort to make it big but it isnt bad at all to challenge yourself on this kind of goals because it will really benefit you later on when you do know on the things you should now but most likely on this kind of situation that $1.5 capital of yours would really be hard to make it big even though in holding because you wont really earn too much unless if you do hit the shit coins which do have 1 sat and then double its price in no time or even more then its achievable but really on slim chances.
5080  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Can I open up a local shop and sell bitcoins for cash? on: November 17, 2017, 03:35:26 AM
You would probably need a license for it . One thing that I have extensively read from fellow traders in the US, is that its hard to sell bitcoins without the license.I also don't expect you would get a serious and completely accurate reply on btctalk, so would suggest asking a lawyer rregarding this.
Absolutely right which you would really need a lawyer first to ask regarding on the regulations of  your government when it comes into this kind of business specially it involves on crypto knowing that most governments doesnt like it. Having a consultation first with a lawyer is the best possible initial move that you should do so that you wont risk yourself into any trouble when you do plan to build that kind of business. I would say this thing would be profitable for you but would really still depend on the interest or the number of people on your place do know about bitcoin or crypto.
