Predict the market is about trying to predict how the crowd will react to a given event and which direction it will take ... of course when an event reach the news broadcast a lot of trade action already happened ... when you look at all those technical analysis charts you are in fact give an interpretation to a poll ... interpretations in the middle of the chart are easy ... the most closer you get to the edge ...harder it becomes ...

45  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase - next coins to be added on: December 20, 2017, 09:24:03 PM
There is no way to know which coin will be added next on Coinbase, we don't have inside info and we only can preddict.
In my opinion, next coin added on Coinbase will be Ripple. This coin perfectly fits to so called Bitcoin-bank services like Coinbase.
Then - IOTA. I believe that Coinbase really can consider listing of this coin. Only question - when.
Another coin worth to mention - NEM. Maybe it's not such mainstream coin like others mentioned above. But's great coin for business, they have solid team behind project.
Cardano - I highly doubt about it, at least for near future. No, it's not bad project, but it's too soon to list it on Coinbase, Cardano have to establish on markets. Maybe in period of year or two we mat see them on Coinbase if everything will goes as planned.


Well I just read on BBC ..

Bitcoin Cash deals frozen as insider trading is probed

I don't know ... but instead try to keep a "secretive" about it... wouldn't be better to have a clear inclusion policy such as ...

when a new coin reaches 50% market capitalization of the 'leader' coin it will be added automatically to the exchange ?

I don’t know of any special-purpose hardware to generate Curve25519 PGP keys.

me too ... 

only general-purpose hardware such as ARM[1] stm32f103

10000x or some X times is to make my point of abnormal growth ..with some exaggeration
I am not against bitcoin,but the rogue manipulators/traders who will do more harm to bitcoins, than good

You can not compare amazon to bitcoin..
Amazon is regulated and do not pose any threat to Govt..where crypto currencies are opposite
(I am not against bitcoins or blockchain or the technology ..bit against speculative trading)

Fair enough.  In principle, I am also against speculative trading; though I certainly do not complain about appreciation of my bitcoins’ value!  I am in Bitcoin primarily for reasons of ideology.  I know full well that not every person in the entire world can get rich by applying some magic formula, ICO scammers’ advertisements to the contrary notwithstanding.

But 10x–20x growth in the course of a year is not ipso facto indicative of a bubble.  It’s unusual, to be sure.  Still, in growth per time, that’s five orders of magnitude different from 10000x in a fortnight.  Again, the comparison to Amazon applies:  The major web companies, the ones which survived the 2000 shake-out, have had points where they experienced >10x actual growth in a year.  Had Amazon “grown” 10000x in two weeks—well, there would no longer be any such company.

I do share your concern about certain apparent political collision courses, perhaps inevitable.  That’s why I try to inform people about the historical incidence when gold was banned for four decades in the U.S.  But rapid growth of the Bitcoin market enhances its robustness against such potential attacks; whereas comparisons to tulips seem only to befit calls for instant regulation, to “protect people from themselves”.

I also don’t think that regulatory concerns negate the comparison to Amazon.  Amazon also faced regulatory concerns, such as the enmity of states which were losing sales tax.  On this, they eventually joined the enemy, so to speak.  I hope the analogy is not too perfect here.

If you have a large holding from 2011, then just enjoy it and support Bitcoin’s further development and social acceptance.  This last is important, because Bitcoin is more than a technology:  Bitcoin and its value are a sociological phenomenon.  As the latter, Bitcoin does have an excellent prospect for surmounting all obstacles and becoming ubiquitous.  If that happens, then in ten years, $20k/BTC will look like your 2011 exchange rates.  Calling for smugness about tulip bulbs cuts in the opposite direction; it hampers social acceptance.  It’s just cheap FUD.  If you’re such a long-time Bitcoiner, I think you can do better than that!



somehow ( I am think as scientist ) all that debate about growth reminds me 'machine learning' and the famous "Iris flower data set" ...

Interesting thought.  I will need to chew on that one for awhile.  Thanks.

ps-> nullius how did you get a PGP Ed25519: 0xC .... ?

GnuPG supports ECC since version 2.1.  Requires options `--full-gen-key --expert` (or noninteractive key generation as I used).  NIST and Brainpool curves are supported; but also:  “For many people the NIST and also the Brainpool curves have an doubtful origin and thus the plan for GnuPG is to use Bernstein’s Curve 25519 as default.  GnuPG 2.1.0 already comes with support for signing keys using the Ed25519 variant of this curve.  This has not yet been standardized by the IETF (i.e. there is no RFC) but we won’t wait any longer....”

Much PGP software does not yet support my Curve25519 keys.  My .sig reminds me of the 90s, when people had both PGP2/PGP5 keys.  In the mass market, interestingly, Keybase can use my ECC keys just fine.  I’m not sure if that’s a good thing.

(Apologies for the offtopic discussion.  It’s an important issue, especially when asked by a GnuPG supporter!)

yep, I follow a bit the cypherpunk list on Curve255 ... when I asked was because I was kind more interested on the hardware that generate that curve  ( I also do Apologies for the 'offtopic' ( of course related to bitcoin it is not 'off topic' at all )

could you define each ? Huh

I asked because the semantic/meaning of the term "certificate" for me.. has a more to do as in "Identity certificate" at public-key infrastructure (PKI) scheme

Bitcoin never equals to Tulip Mania. Every one considered Google play store apps to Tulip now what happened every one depended on apps likewise Bitcoin and technology behind is worth trillions of dollars

Indeed ... anyone can easily plant and grow tulips ... go ahead try to mine some bitcoin  Grin

I still researching a fully free software random number generator

so I could easily generate my bitcoin adresses but ... it is based on ARM STM32

then since so many switches I went to check ARM history  Wink

What’s the difference between tax avoidance and evasion, is tax avoidance legal and how do the schemes work?

BItcoin is $18,937 on coinbase,  but on localbitcoin it is being sold for over $19000.
Why is there so much difference and why should people buy on localbitcoin and not on coinnbase in this case?

I never used coinbase, I checked on website and I got

Yeah the problem with those "air drop" is that their "wallet" can be in fact just a malware that going to steal your bitcoins ...
