Re: Dealing with cryptocurrency (in my country) isn't easy as I thought

I'm glad that you've shared your crypto experience in Turkey where it seems a different story from yours. Maybe its best to cash out crypto earnings in Turkey through other payment channels and not through banks since they may be  tightly regulated by the Government and could  be forced to act upon your bank account especially if there was a directive from your Government to freeze any crypto related account which is absolutely disappointing.!
It's a good alarmed for people who's going to travel to that country and try to use cryptocurrency, with this information it will be much easier for people to convert their crypto into other form of services, if the banks have direct orders from the government there's no chance to bypass such rulings.
We can't force them to believe since it's still needed to have more exposures and more adoptions before every country acknowledge the full functions and usage of this industry.

Moreover, I guess not only banks are being restricted with regulations but also some other big payment channels such as remittance shops as in the case in most countries. Maybe you could try other payment channels that are less regulated and has no strict requirements to its customers.

Re: Dealing with cryptocurrency (in my country) isn't easy as I thought

Today, while I was surfing through the forum, I came across a post in which someone complained about bitcointalk.org not loading in Turkey. Under his post were several replies that explained that the site happens to be blocked by some internet service providers (which is sad).
A few days ago, I made a post in which I asked "What have you done to promote the Blockchain technology & cryptocurrencies?".
I went through several replies which were pleasing and supportive to the Blockchain technology. Amongst them, someone said that he wore bitcoin shirts around (an ideology I really admire). Another said that he created a facebook page (also interesting).
Just recently, I saw a complain from someone in my country. According to the screenshot which contained a mail from his bank, it said that his bank account has been frozen because they found out that it has something to do with virtual trading (cryptocurrency). Not only was I surprised, I was provoked. You know, one of my plans was to buy numerous Bitcoin and Ethereum polo shirt and wear them (to help promote). However, as it stands right now, I'm afraid I can't do that because I could be held as a user of cryptocurrency. Though this isn't any easy, I'll still keep trying what I can to spread the word. The Blockchain technology gospel must be heard!!!

Firstly, bitcointalk.org can be loading and reachable in Turkey. We can not reach bitcointalk just when we are using mobile data. It is not good but it is not forbidden. I think there is a misunderstanding here but no one is trying to solve it. Some of Turkish community member send mail to authorities but they didn't solve it also.

And about account frozen. I trade, deposit and withdraw always in Turkey from 2015. But I never had an any trouble like that. I think there may be another mistake here. I don't think it is about BTC trading.

I'm glad that you've shared your crypto experience in Turkey where it seems a different story from yours. Maybe its best to cash out crypto earnings in Turkey through other payment channels and not through banks since they maybe  tightly regulated by the Government and could  be forced to act upon your bank account especially if their was a directive from your Government to froze any crypto related account which is absolutely disappointing.!

This is very unfortunate! Some Governments are anti-crypto and would exert efforts to prevent it or discourage it from its own citizens but eventually, they will reconsider it once mass adoption becomes full blown and other foreign Governments adopts it.

I suggest that if some of you can't access  this forum due to some censorship ion your country, you can try to use VPN or TOR so that it will give you more privacy and less fear from Government interventions.

Its not the government which is preventing access to the websites in this case. Turkey's government aren't the bad guys here instead its the internet providers of Turkey who are restricting access to social media and Cryptocurrency related websites. This should not be used as a anti government movement as its not the government enforcing these restrictions on the Turkish population.

Technically, its the internet providers that restricts access to social media sites but why they did it? Do they don't want to give good services to their customers and want more subscribers? Its very ironic, because if you are a  company providing service to masses, then you will do your best to be successful in that field just  like in the case of providers - an uncensored internet access! but not unless they were constrained also by Government restrictions, just like China does.

Re: Why not use Exchange instead of Mixer?
by
Decksperiment
on 03/10/2019, 17:11:28 UTC
So, Mixers provide service of shuffling bitcoins or provide addresses loaded with bitcoins along with private keys. In short, they provide service so to create anonymity between sender's and receiver's address so that no one can trace the transaction.
My question is why not use Exchanges? When we deposit funds on exchange, bitcoins get deposited on exchange's cold wallet. But when we withdraw funds, withdraw gets processed from exchange's hot wallet. So in short, it is very easy to do anonymous transfer by depositing funds on exchange and withdrawing to other addresses. Why to pay 1-3% fees on Mixers when it could be done for much less on Exchanges. Exchanges like Binance charge just 0.0005 BTC to process withdrawals.

Choosing between exchanges and mixers depends on your needs such as the level of anonymity you prefer.  If you were just an ordinary crypto enthusiast who is not privacy centric and doesn't a need to hide any crypto transaction you might have, then you can choose the service of an exchange, otherwise, you need to use the services of Bitcoin mixers.

Re: Alternative, DAO ANDROID APP STORE, DApps, on ETH blockchain, STO + DEX Exchange

This is a bit interesting alternative project that compete head on with giants with the likes of Google and Apple. Can you give us some kind of infographic about your app store e.g. number of apps listed and total registered users and maybe monthly revenue if possible to give us a better overview of this project.


Hello. The indicators are small, since while there was no launch of the marketing plan, for which the funds were raised, the platform is being finalized and ways of making money are approved, in addition to the STO platform, which will soon be put into functional expectations, due to regulatory uncertainties in the laws of the countries.
About 4200+ applications are now uploaded to https://playmarket.io/ and more than 5000+ games will be added soon, for the initial assortment. We are in the process of negotiating and attracting game and application developers to fully integrate their sales on the platform, both in cryptocurrency and, possibly, in fiat.
Dividends were received from the first game of CryptoDuel, in the form of CDLT tokens and dividends in Ethereum, from the financial turnover of this game.
Registered several thousand users, installations of the Android application platform.

Thanks for pointing this out! by the way, do you have a mini roadmap to visualize your plans and strategies more clearly and will guide us to better understand your development activities and also maybe you could provide the community with visuals such as tutorials on how to use your platform and its technology?


Hi. All code is publicly available and lies on GitHub https://github.com/CryptonStudio along with implementation guidelines https://github.com/CryptonStudio/PlayMarket-2.0-Contracts/wiki/Documentation

The roadmap has been completed, technical improvements are being made to the platform and its functionality, and as it works as it should, you can use it and sell your applications.

Glad for this update! So it seems the platform is by far ready and  operational that I would assume you have plans and marketing strategies that could increase the platform's traffic. Right?

Re: David Marcus, Coinbase CEO show supports for Facebook Libra

Coinbase CEO's opinion on the Libra cryptocurrency doesn't really matter and will have no effect or any way influence most members of the crypto community's stance - and that is to shy away from Libra as possibly as they could! Moreover, maybe he did announced his support to Facebook's Libra only to please Mark Zuckerberg since we may not know if he has any other hidden agenda being a businessman himself. Grin

It is a good move to delegate someone you trust most e.g. family members, to have access to your digital assets as a contingency plan once something bad happens to us! Just put your sensitive files and keys to a reliable password manager and hand over the password to your trustee and set the conditions forth on accessing it.

Re: Track your crypto portfolio using excel easy!
by

on 26/09/2019, 13:15:46 UTC
Why not to use Blackfolio or any other application that tracks your investment in real time? It works great, is accessible on mobile devices and is much easier to interact with. I do not see any point in using excel instead of a regular app.

Blockfolio is indeed a great app to track your crypto portfolio but I would like  to mention also the Delta app as an alternative which I personally prefer because it has its own unique features which I find attractive - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.getdelta.android&hl=en  . These two apps should suffice our own crypto portfolio tracking needs and its up to us what we will choose.

Re: What is going on in the markets

I noticed that after the BTC went up in the early of 2018 dropped to $3000 at the end of the year i am afraid that may happen this year and price drop to around $3000
According to technical analysis, the price of BTC will sure drop around $7000 soon.
I understand technical analysis may not work well in this market.
Do you agree with this?



Technical analysis is a beautiful fantasy. It's a prediction which is as good as any other (or, like mjglqw says, and then there's a special value of it but not in terms of predictions) but is covered in a sophisticated convincing form. What makes it different from other ways of predicting the prices, though, is that since many people believe in TA and act according to its predictions as well as share them with other people, it can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. You know, like spreading FUD leads to prices going down, but in a way more serious than that. Anyway, the current price drop is significant, that's true, but it does not mean that we won't see Bitcoin around $10k in a couple of days.

This scenario of high crypto volatility is getting more natural to us that in the longer time, the community will be used to it consequently. I hope some new comers in the crypto scene will not panicked in these kinds of market activity but I'm pretty sure crypto markets will have a good rebound eventually.

We are now experiencing a period where technical analysis does't fully guarantee a more successful trade by the fact that crypto volatility isn't as predictable as compared before and expectations are almost identical to wild guess! Now I wonder if there is a force hidden behind all these developments?  I though hope its not the work of market manipulators? Shocked

Its not surprising that DOGE being one of the earliest crypto to emerged has a broad number of supporters including people with influence among the community including Vitalik Buterin! Also, we cannot deny that DOGE did make a significant contribution on cryptocurrency exposure and adoption that is why its so popular up to now!

Nothing comes new with crypto market's highly volatile nature, in which a little bit of fomo and fud are all but regular occurrences. This is part of a speculative environment that some people correlating it with the news about quantum computers to spread misinformation seems naive that they often react even to a minor fluctuation of crypto price. So I guess we must be accustomed to it.

It seems almost everybody were disappointed by the recent cryptocurrency market slowdown which is very frustrating. Nevertheless, I think it would be helpful if we could take some time off to attend some of the things we like to do and enjoy life and  be productive so that it could lessen the stress in waiting for the market to recover.

Re: $175 billion just printed and the Bitcoin price goes down!
by
Decksperiment
on 21/09/2019, 23:39:52 UTC
The point that it hasn't been necessary since 10 years has no implication whatsoever for financial stability.
I'm not so sure about that. The Fed having to do this to such an extent suggests a lot of banks are not meeting their fractional reserve requirements. Banks are no long funding their own debts with their own deposits, and instead they are relying on the federal reserve to bail them out on a nightly basis. Something has changed recently (we don't know what) to force the federal reserve to come in with $75 billion on a nightly basis to support the banks.

Banks should be able to support themselves. If they are experiencing daily shortfalls, then it can impact on other lending, which can impact on the entire economy. The Fed having to bail them out like this is a bad sign.

I bet this money printing issue with U.S. has a something to do with  countering China's indiscriminate printing of money and has long been accused of currency manipulation by the  U.S. Government. I think it has a noble cause.

It is important to recognize the power of social media platforms to hasten Bitcoin's adoption and these are proven effective tools to spread influence!
