Re: Will Bitcoin reach $150K in the next Bull Run?
by
CoinFellow
on 14/11/2023, 05:58:28 UTC
What do you think of the current market situation and where do you think the price of Bitcoin going next?

I don't think there will be any chances for Bitcoin ETF to be approved and that is also has been expressed on multiple forums but we can't know whether it will happen or not. Based on my assumption it will be rejected so there will be a price correction coming up and I feel it is also the reason why network is highly congested for the past few days.

In my opinion, Bitcoin ETF has it's own pros and cons. While there are many, there is one important pro and con that I can think of.
If bitcoin ETF gets approved it will bring huge market players into the crypto market which will increase the crypto market cap and send bitcoin to new heights.
But this will also bring centralization into the market since big players will be able to manipulate BTC price (may be a little bit but still).
So if bitcoin ETFs get rejected we will be on a safer side from such centralization and manipulation.

We need to have big players coming into this market now for it to gain traction and get wider acceptability.

Re: Planning to sell btc, saving account good for it?

CoinFellow
on 18/06/2021, 04:47:53 UTC
I am planning to sell my BTC which is going to be worth 5 figures (INR).
I would sell it either on zebpay, wazirx, paxful.
Is it ok if I withdraw all my money from these exchanges directly to my Savings Bank account?.
Should I withdraw in parts or no issue even if I withdraw in one go.

I also had the same question. Are people who are based in India, withdrawing funds in Indian Bank accounts like ICICI Bank, SBI, HDFC and other prominent banks after selling their crypto holdings on Indian exchanges like WazirX, Zebpay etc.? Are you facing any problems in doing the same like receiving any notice from the bank?

Any insights from your personal experience from last 1-1.5 months would be very useful. Thanks.

Re: India Banning Cryptos

Parliament session is over without the bill. That means either government will make changes in the bill as demanded by crypto community or it will postpone it for few years and maintain the status quo.
Not sure about that and there is no clarity on what they are planning to do, one thing i know is that the government has asked companies to report their cryptocurrency holdings when they file the financial statement next month which means all the exchanges in India will hand over the customer data to the government. Will see what happens next after collecting all these data, will they start freezing bank accounts or monitor our transactions is to be seen.

I don't think you are correct here. Government has asked companies to report their crypto holdings when filing financial statement - this does not mean exchanges in India have to hand over their customer data to the government. Not sure how did you arrive at this inference. In a way this is good because it means that government is moving towards regulation (which is good) instead of outright crypto ban. We just have to see if government also asks individuals to declare their crypto holdings while filing IT Returns.

I think in the last 1.5 months this issue was blown up by media with news reports everyday citing their 'sources'. One news report even said that government would track and block IP addresses which buy/sell cryptos. Now this is going over the cliff without any basis.

I feel since the government didn't bring in the crypto bill in Budget session, they are re-looking into it and maybe making some changes.

New Coins to be listed on Coinbase
by
CoinFellow
on 28/03/2021, 02:06:38 UTC
Hello, We have all seen the exponential growth which happens in the price of any new token which gets listed on Coinbase. Case in point are ANKR, STORJ or MATIC before that. What I have seen is that announcement is made through twitter handle of Coinbase just 1-2 days before.

Is there a way to find out which are new tokens which would be listed on Coinbase over a period of time? If not specific information as to the token and date when it would be listed, at least the list of tokens which are under active consideration by Coinbase to be listed next? I tried to do googling at my end but couldn't find this kind of information.

I'm new to this space. If senior and experienced members have any information related to this subject, it would be very useful.

Thanks & Regards

Re: BCT India for calling out Indian Scammers

Iam an Indian and live in USA,I was literally scammed by fellow Indians whocalled me from a Customercare center and sweeped away my 2 bitcoins from my Coinbase account.

I really feel sad for such situations.I was helpless ! Please dont scam innocent people scammers !!

No one can sweep away your 2 BTCs simply by calling you unless you provide them further personal details about your account. Since you are dealing in crypto you might as well be aware the risks associated with it. Entire exchanges get hacked with no fault of users what to talk about someone calling you and you providing them all information about your account.

In this case you yourself are also responsible to some extent for behaving so naively. Thanks and take care in future.

Re: Bitcoin trading growing in India

on 13/08/2020, 09:57:45 UTC
yes it is all over the news making headline.
https://www.bloombergquint.com/business/cryptocurrency-market-fashions-its-indian-comeback
People are bullish on bitcoin.Coin DCX one of india's exchage said and i quote "“We saw nearly a 10x spike in sign-ups, post the Supreme Court judgement." and that is overwhelming. They also said there is growth of 78.36% in BTC/INR trading.
Ajeet khurana former head of the BAAC said and i quote""Two factors are driving up volumes. First, most volumes on crypto exchanges are trading volumes and some traders have come back to the market post the SC judgment. It is largely not fresh investor money pouring in yet. If the latter had happened the price of say bitcoin would've been far higher than it is. This is because fairly small fiat currency inflows change cryptocurrency price in a big way".
I personally feel that this will force new investors to get into this market.
Please find above information and more on below link
https://www.livemint.com/money/personal-finance/crypto-trading-rises-in-india-after-sc-overturns-rbi-payments-ban-11587466139986.html


I do not doubt the numbers quoted in these news reports, but most of the times these kind of news is sponsored. Especially by the people/organizations which are quoted in the news.

Apart from the rise in volumes, we also need to look into that how many new user registrations/KYC have been done in these Indian exchanges. This will give a clear picture, to the extent Crypto investment/trading is picking up in masses in India. I have tried to reach out to different exchanges in the past for this information, but none of them was willing to share it for obvious reasons.

Pls. note Crypto is a very new asset class and most of the educated people also have very less idea as to how to go about it. And then the negative news about government policy on this from time to time only weakens the confidence of common folks in getting started with it.

Re: DeFi Projects

If you're interested in DEFI, start at this site:
https://defimarketcap.io/
This is an analogue of coinmarketcap with all the necessary links to projects.



Thanks for sharing this site.

I read with interest all the comments by different users related to potential of DeFi (or the lack of it). There is no doubt, DeFi is an interesting space and moreover there is lot of hype around it now-a-days. Sometimes this hype is necessary to pull up any space. Weather it leads to bull run in the entire crypto space because of it, is an entirely different subject but I personally do not believe it will happen. Things have become vastly different then from late 2017 and investor have become intelligent after losing money during that time. Do your research, chose the right projects and it should give you good returns. When there is hype around a certain space like in DeFi currently, then if prices starts rising up, tokens in that space where the hype is, tend to give good returns. During those time, even if there is nothing fundamentally good in a project, what is the harm in making some money. As they say - go with the flow...

Re: Shocking - With a law, India plans lasting ban on cryptos

Finance Ministry of our country is in crisis right now. We currently have the most incompetent finance minister of the last 20 years. Our government is wannabe anti-corrupt and in this pursuit it has taken some of the worst decisions like Demonetization. Banning cryptocurrencies will be another addition in the long list of hasty bad decisions of our government.

However, I doubt that we gonna see this bill in the Parliament anytime soon. Currently the draft is in staging area and one of the finance ministry official has leaked the news that ministry is thinking about banning the cryptocurrencies. But it would take months until government could give this draft a shape of bill by discussing it with major stakeholders and only then the bill would be presented in Parliament.

I agree this is most shocking news and does now augur well for Crypto ecosystem in India. Cypto industry in India was just getting on its feet after Supreme Court reversed RBIs ban in March this year. There is some hearsay that some decision has to be taken before 30th June 2020 on this due to some guidelines of FATF (Financial Action Task Force). Is this true and also has someone else heard about similar news?

Other than this, it is surprising that Binance invested in WazirX and Coinbase bought some stake in CoinDCX. WazirX and CoinDCX are both India based exchanges having INR pairs. Generally, these big companies have inside information as to in which direction the government policies are expected to move. But then also they invested in these Indian exchanges. Any thoughts...

Current status of Indian Crypto exchanges

⭐ Merited by Heisenberg_Hunter (1) ,amishmanish (1)

Since, the entire country is on lockdown, and mostly all of us are working home, I was thinking a few things -

It has been almost 1 month since Supreme Court struck down RBIs order banning Financial Institutions providing services to businesses dealing in Cryptos in India. This was expected to create a favourable environment for Cryptos in the country.

1) After this judgement has there been increase in active accounts on Indian Crypto exchanges like WazirX, Unocoin etc? What I have read there used to be around 50 Lakh active accounts before April 2018 RBI ban which fell to around 17 lakh during the ban.
2) Is there a change in volume on these Indian exchanges and more people actively trading/investing now considering that return on other Asset classes is not great.

Does anyone have any information on the above data points or how can we look up this information.

Thanks

Re: SC to decide on RBI's shadowban soon. What then?

on 04/03/2020, 09:29:59 UTC
Maybe we should promote cryptocurrency as a biproduct of a cow somehow. Like maybe it was 'hashed' out of cow dung or urine. Maybe then we would be on the good side of our supreme leader's party and might make it through.

I'm so sick and tired of the ineffective governance in our country that is pushing us to the stone ages with each passing month.

-update-

And I just saw the seemingly good news.

s/m.timesofindia.com/business/india-business/supreme-court-allows-cryptocurrency-trading-cancels-rbis-2018-circular/amp_articleshow/74470172.cms]RBI's ban is curbed by SC

Now the only way the orange brigade can hurt us is by going after cryptos through the FMC and by tagging it as a commodity.
So anyone trading crypto derivatives would be under the scanner.

But let's just see how this unfolds further. Hoping for some positivity.

Tell Modi that Bitcoin came out of a Cow. He will accept it. Or give lecture in some temple that Cow milk contains hashes of Blockchain data. People will drink that up like tea..
Sad thing.. our India may be free our mindset are not..

Its surprising & funny to see how a simple query related to Bitcoin banning & corruption turned to Modi bashing and cow Smiley

Since, its crypto forum, we tend to take ourselves too seriously and think bitocin/crypto is playing a large part when the reality is, it is far from anyone's  mind whether government or general public. Government is least concerned about crypto - its just too small a thing to think about. In a country of the size of India, I feel there won't be more than 500,000 people who really understand crypto or actively trade/invest in it. When this is the scenario, I don't think there is not much correlation between corruption and banning bitcoin in India. There are much more bigger things/activities which leads to increase in corruption.

But as someone mentioned here, I agree the banking ban has lead to decrease in bitcoin/crypto trading in India. You just cannot compare it to P2P trading. I would appreciate if someone can share data how much difference it has made.

Anyway crypto currency will be going to regulate in India very soon because of already top list country are regulated the crypto like Japan and more, and coming days some big companies like Facebook and telegram launching their own crypto coin, so I hope that Indian government and RBI will getting the crypto regulations in India very soon.

Users or even people who understand cryptos in India is a very minuscule percentage. These things are far from Government's mind to take care of. I think Supreme Court on this matter will only take a stand which aligns with Government's policies and directions. In this respect, I think India would go along with what is being done internationally like the committee formed during last G20 submit.

Future & Challenges facing Cyptos in India

Below is the open letter from CoinRecoil’s co-founder and CEO Kunal Barchha to PM Modi and FM N. Sitharaman. I'm sure senior members in this group would have already seen it.

He raises all very valid points. It is unfortunate that Indian Government is hesitant to take a stand on cryptos. Maybe it is far from their mind, considering all the challenges in the country at the moment.

Even if we leave behind cryptos, any application/solution development on Blockchain is proving difficult without a clear regulations on this front. People are hesitant to move ahead in this field. This is the future in many ways, and we shouldn't miss the vast potential of this technology.

There might be some people reading this who would be in a position to influence policy on this. Will request your complete support. Thanks

Re: Indian Govt. committee is proposing 10 years jail for dealing in crypto

on 01/07/2019, 06:12:05 UTC
anyway it is a draft bill, not approved. likely will take many more months and revisions before something reasonable surfaces.

It might only be a draft bill, but you would appreciate the negative sentiments it sends out related to cryptos when this kind of news is prominently covered in the media. We all have seen Koinex shutting down their operations. The whole crypto space is in its infancy, and instead of regulating it and subsequently using the power of decentralized technology, you are trying to kill the whole thing.

Its no secret the over a period of time, world will move to decentralization and cryptos in some form will play an important part in it. So, instead of taking a proactive approach when other developed countries are trying to figure out how to handle it, coming up with this regressive ideas is not a good thing.

This is not effect to Bitcoin price because don't have that much of popularity here and no one know about to Bitcoin details so I think government decision will take long time.

I really hope it happens! But since we are now sure that Modi government is coming back to the power again, do you think they will delay their decision anymore?

This government was always against any progressive ideas and technologies and do you think it is going to change in the upcoming term?? My intuition says, a bad day is coming for the crypto enthusiasts of India! I would love if this intuition proves to be wrong, but really sad about the outcome of today's result!

Surprised at your comment that ' this government is against any progressive ideas and technologies'. Just because they haven't taken any firm stand related to Cryptos, it is very unfair to make a sweeping statement like this. Not even 1% of population of this country is worried what happens in Cryptos and it doesn't affect their lives in any way. Just because, we all are here discussing it, doesn't mean its most important thing in the world to be taken care of.

I'm least concerned whichever party comes to power, the important thing is that we need to have stable government and firm/decisive leadership to take tough decisions. Rest everything follows. I have found the present government forward looking in its first term both in launching new schemes that affect common people, being open to ideas as well as driving the country towards technological advancement.

As far as taking decision on crypto is concerned, I suppose there are whole lot of things to be taken care of before coming up with a proper framework, which in any large & democratic country like India takes time.

Never mind that your plan is not perfect. But as people have pointed out here, you need to at least share some basic details of your project to get people interested. Otherwise, without knowing you or your project, why would anyone be willing to work and invest with you.

One more thing, if you are still studying, do concentrate on that and as you said get a government job in India. Focusing on too many things would lead you nowhere.

Still, the Indian crypto related case is in the hanging position after the issue raised since last year. The final hearing was set to declared on the March, 31 2019 but it is now the April, 08. May be the even the SC can't finalize any decision.
What i have heard from reports online is that the case is extended once again by the request of the Indian government, i am not sure whether they are planning to come up with a verdict before the general elections which is coming up, as i mentioned earlier this is the biggest hurdle for any business in India, there will not be any clear direction and the starts ups will look else rather than running a company in India.

India is facing this issue since independence! No political party actually wants to solve this issues because it will affect their cash flow. The more delay it will have within the system the probability of bribing is more to solve the delay. This is how it works!

And yes, the case has been delayed until July this year. Read on,

https://www.ccn.com/indias-supreme-court-delays-crypto-vs-central-bank-fight-to-july/

Till the time we are being governed by the bureaucrats who just clears an exam and sit on the top posts of the government, nothing good is expected!



Fully agree with your viewpoint. No government will be willing to take a stand on this sensitive matter. And even when they take a stand, the government will most probably follow Guidelines/Regulations in place in other developing countries.

Even if the government comes out with guidelines, it is difficult for them to perceive how would the things get impacted in future for this mostly unexplored area. There are still so many unanswered questions related to banking, security, impact on financial institutions that no Government is expected to take any decision on this in near future.
