1101  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do we really have enough 'cryptocurrencies'? on: June 09, 2017, 12:09:06 PM
After reading what you have there, I made the conclusion that you only focus on the few alt that have been able to get the attention of quite a percentage of the population of the crypto world however, ignoring the developing ones that could have the potential of the main ONE. Aside that, I hold the believe that without all this coins, I feel the pressure that would be on bitcoin would be to much to handle thereby leading it to its early grave. In as much as the already coins available is not meeting expectations I still feel we need them to provide the needed balance for the established ones.
1102  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoins in Africa? on: June 09, 2017, 07:53:42 AM
Going by the kind of discussions around social medial platforms on bitcoins/cryptocurrencies, the East African market is warming up to a future with bitcoins/altcoins. But given the potential, is the speed and frequency hopeful for digital currencies, comparatively speaking? Could someone consider ICOs with an African perception?

Its easy to project using the current trends to positively position Africa in the scheme of things but we forgot the environment of doing business considering the difficulty of getting approvals for project as well as the exposure of law  enforcement agencies in case there is need to have a discussion with them about the legality of issues relating to bitcoin. This and many more will pose unnecessary threat to the development of bitcoin business and that is why most of the facilities used are hosted else where other than Africa.
1103  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Wich cryptocurrency is the most promising? on: June 07, 2017, 09:27:30 PM

Hello,

there are so many different crypto currencies.

Can someone suggest  me in which crypto except Bitcoin is worth to invest?  Smiley
All the project have or claim to have some form of prospects one way or the other but the onus is on who ever will be investing in the project to be able to do his own due diligence before investing because the gain and losses by you and not those giving the suggestions.
1104  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Question..third party service out there that will ship me loaded BTC's to the US on: June 07, 2017, 08:25:03 PM
Question..is there a third party out there that will ship me loaded physical bitcoins to my U.S address.   I want to purchase loaded physical bitcoins, the Company is in Finland.
By law they can't ship loaded physical bitcoins to the U.S.  So there must be Companies or some type of service that will do this for a fee.
I appreciate your help!!!

bobbart555

I would suggest you take a look at the collectible section of the forum and might actually see someone who is willing to sell and ship to US or even someone in the US thereby reducing considerable amount of shipping expenses as well as time lag to wait for it to arrive but you need to be careful and insist on escrow when you are not sure of who are you are dealing with.
1105  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Why are we allowing Exchanges to rob us? on: June 07, 2017, 07:43:16 PM
After reading through what you went through with the exchange site I am sure you are right to complain and if I am the one, I would probably do same especially where it seems no one is responding from their site and my money is going down the drain which is nothing easy to come by. Whether you get your money back or not, I feel this is an eye opener for everyone to learn from and not trust too much money with exchange sites no matter the amount of reputation they have garnered over the years.
1106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dear Bitcointalk Community, please change your perspective about Bitcoin! on: June 07, 2017, 06:59:07 PM
Your argument is right and it shows that you took time to read the white paper but I don't believe the objective of Satoshi has been defeated because bitcoin will not just overtake banks all of a sudden but a process and that process is what is being going through now and that is why it seems defeated and by the time the population has grown to make that change, I am sure less value would be generated using it as a digital asset or otherwise.
1107  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What goods have you got from bitcoin results? on: June 07, 2017, 04:44:24 PM
f I can just buy the refrigerator from bitcoin results so far, I am classified as less focus in bitcoin world, but now after seeing the bitcoin price of this I started focus again, because this year I have a target to buy a car ...

If you are anything?


The singular fact that people come here several times in a day including myself means result is been gotten which is as a result of bitcoin. For me, the target is not yet met but the probability of meeting it soonest is high due to recent happenings as you have rightly noted. So, dreams are coming to reality while other dreams are being formulated courtesy our common friend bitcoin.
1108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [BREAKING NEWS]: Bitcoin on Front Page of Wall Street Journal on: June 07, 2017, 02:49:32 PM
Today's, 7th June 2017, edition leads on Bitcoin stellar performance this year.

Updates as we receive them...

Whether they like it or not they will still come back to acknowledge the fact that bitcoin has come to stay and taking along other alts as well. However, we should not be carried away because most if this media outlet are run by powerful businessmen who might not favor bitcoin and want to use that means to pull it down but the fact is that the mention has been done which is something to be happy about and will aprreciate a link to that.
1109  Economy / Services / Re: $50 seek excellent IELTS students to write test essay(only 250 words) on: June 07, 2017, 02:22:29 PM
Isn't this flatout illegal? Cheating your way through the IELTS exam.
I wonder what people won't do because of money thats not even enough to make you rich. The system is designed to make a student better yet we see someone trying to cheat the system when we have people who are working their ass studying hard to ace the test and yet we have a leader of tomorrow in our hand ready to spend a ton of money to make it happen. How I wish an interview is equally conducted to determine who really passed the exam and you don't even know if an official there is reading this then you land yourself in more trouble in making your details available.
1110  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Legal Formalities to Buy Real Estate in Bitcoins on: June 07, 2017, 12:58:53 PM
Hello,

Yesterday I came across the post claiming that the person bought a house using bitcoins. I would like to learn more about legal formalities to be followed while dealing using bitcoins especially for real estate.


Since bitcoin is not recognised by the law, what if seller claims that he has not received any payment? How to make sure that the deal is legally binding to both the involved parties?

Best,
Dudeperfect
In my country, when it comes to real estate, the document of transafering is the same irrespective of the currency of transactions and the terms and conditions accepted by both parties to the agreement. Be it cash, cheque, deposits, instalments, credit, bitcoin or even free transfer won't matter so far the parties have agreed to it. Then such agreement is binding on them.
1111  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: What are the main Bitcoin scams and how do you protect yourself against them? on: June 07, 2017, 08:09:24 AM

The best way one can protect himself best from scams related to bitcoin, is to learn from experience which I have had my own share of where I needed to convert the little coins I have gotten to cash but ended up in the hads of a scammer who used delay tactics on me but I was still immature then. But now, I just don't deal with anybody anyhow. I have a list of trusted guys to help with that and even before transacting I do a lot of ground work confirming nothing has changed since our last transaction.
1112  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Why don't exchanges run their own bots? on: June 07, 2017, 06:55:54 AM
I have used bots some times and some of my friends are addicted to bots, I am just curious about this idea.

Why do not exchanges host the features in their own site as services,
why do they let 3rd party bots run instead of providing the possibilities themselves?

The question you need to ask yourself as it relates to this and any one who might have the same curiosity is that " if they should make one available will I trust to use it?" Because I won't trust any exchange site to design a not and expect that bot to work against them considering the fact that there would be belief that it could be easily manipulated to favor the owners of the site by making it possible for all this pump and dump issues as it relates to shit coins.
1113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Criminality and Bitcoin on: June 06, 2017, 09:49:09 AM
https://www.deepdotweb.com/2016/01/23/bitcoin-playing-an-increased-role-in-crime-europol-says/

Would you believe that the existence of bitcoin has increased the number of criminality in  some countries in the world. This is the issue that was being thrown by the EuroPol and the UK Metropolitan Police. According to them bitcoin has played a huge role on the increasing criminality in their area. They added that a huge number of cybercriminals were using bitcoins in their activities.

This just shows that as bitcoin develops both advantages and disadvantages will tag along.

Criminality has always been our way of life even before the time of civilization up till now. As at now even if crimes are being committed with cash and even any currency should come out tomorrow, it will still be exploited for crimes purposes by those who are criminal inclined. It is now the duty of government to play their role in other to forestall such moves so blaming crimes on bitcoin is actually a failure on their own part without any form of dilution.
1114  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Annoying trading moments? on: June 06, 2017, 08:05:17 AM
Now most of us have surely tried trading in past and maybe stopped because it didn't work or you got sufficient profit , etc etc.
But most of us are surely annoyed by few things like :
1. You place a buy or sell order of 1 btc and someone else to be on top puts his order are 1.00000001 btc.
2. You try to pump a coin and be successful, buy when you place a sell order you are outnumbered easily and sometimes panic and get a huge
3. You are holding some coin and got a decent profit, so you plan to sell it and next the price get's
4. As buying and selling mostly doesn't require and verification so maybe on mobile you press buy or sell when you don't want to do it.

Got more funny moments feel free to share them below
I can easily relate to the number 4 when I was just trying to get the conversion in btc in case I sell but to my surprise I had press sell when I had no intention of that happening, men I bought back and in that few minutes price has increased by a percentage which costs me more. From then forward, I am always very careful when planning to buy or sell adequate one at that.
1115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Where to buy ethereum? on: June 06, 2017, 07:22:26 AM
I checked online and coinbase offers this but seems to be only $300 limit.  I also heard many people don't want to deal with coinbase.  I also heard if you buy ethereum with bitcoin, its much easier and there is no document verification.  Is that true or false?  I went online and saw a site called shapeshift.co which seems to allow you to exchange btc for ethereum and vice versa and a bunch of other coins.  Does anyone have advice on this?  So you basically just trade btc for ethereum but if you do that, how much percentage are you paying?  Example if you are trading $2000 worth of bitcoin, how much approximately in ETH are you getting?  Is it like 1 or 2 percent?


I have US bank accounts for verification. 


But if its easier to exchange for ETH, obviously i would prefer this instead.




With all the exchange site spread accros the internet space, I can't believe one can still be bereft of ideas on where to get an alt as popular as ETH and even exchange site coming in fresh, one of the earliest coin they add is ETH and aside that, they have proven themselves to be potent all theybask for in return is just an amount as transaction fees. You can try c-cex.io or livecoin.net among others in the service discussion section of the forum.
1116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: China's central bank will soon regulate ICO's on: June 05, 2017, 08:54:57 PM
Some people just continue to rejoice in something impossible to do. Its high time the Chinese needs to understand that bitcoin has outgrown whatever grip they have on it that what ever they do from their end will send a spike to the price of bitcoin. If they want to regulate they should go ahead but they should be sure to know that they can only do that for those who intend to use sites hosted in their countries and there are several who don't even care whether China exists or not.
1117  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What about Micro-Bitcoin-Businesses? on: June 05, 2017, 08:33:43 PM
Your fears are very much valid and if its not controlled in terms of the fees, then what every one fears for will eventually happen that the issue of anonymity will not be enough to sustain the  continue usage of bitcoin after all not all of us have something to hide or wants to stay off the radar. Aside that, the fees is actually another threat to micro payments as people no longer see faucets as a viable enterprise despite the various positive contirbutions it has made to bitcoin.
1118  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading or Investing? on: June 05, 2017, 01:49:22 PM
I am having 10 Bitcoins right now, I am a gambler but never did both of those mentioned: Trading / Investing.
Which option should i proceed with? A small guideline will help me alot.

~ TheBitcoinSoldier.

If gambling is currently working for you, I suggest you just keep it that way for you to have that amount which is in no way a small amount and the reason for that is because in the case of investing, you need to be very sure and lot of analysis couple with several sacmas all over the internet, it might be hard to make a decision. In the case of trading to which sometimes could be profitable and at the same time could be an haphazard decision if proper understanding of the market is not obtained and knowing to right time to either sell or buy.
1119  Economy / Services / Re: 60$ will be paid to one who will help in solving case on: June 05, 2017, 09:35:15 AM
I don't think there is anything that needs to be done again since they are the one that make a decision and this has been done in favor of someone that wronged you. The only thing left again is to look for extra evidence outside what you already presented in other to prove your case or even devalue his own argument because that decision would be based on the facts of the case before them and from experience they have done well in deciding which side is either wrong or right.
1120  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin A Bubble? Why many people are looking at this through the wrong lens on: June 05, 2017, 09:21:06 AM
For those who see bitcoin as a bubble, they are entitled to their opinion and no amount of convincing argument can make them change their mind. However, their thinking is actually valid but its one sided looking at it only from the price alone ignoring other potentials in the blockchain technology itself which is the backbone of bitcoin that would solve several problems that have existed for long in the world and this alone will continue to provide support for bitcoin price.
