I think the unknown factor is too high for me to buy bitcoin cash right now. Could drop hard tomorrow, but it would be my most bullish pick and I may buy some tomorrow. What bitcoin are you gonna buy? The one for $3500 or the one for $17500. One is fast and cheap to move and the other is slow. I see double digit gains coming soon just not sure about what happens tomorrow.

Currently bitcoin mining uses specialized computers called ASICs which are specifically designed to solve the puzzles requires to mine bitcoin. Due to their specific nature, the machines are custom designed and manufactured. As they are not mass produced, they cost more to buy.

To be super frank the first word that hit my head was 'honey' Cheesy

Then came funny, bunny, penny, punny. Cheesy

On a serious note, it is something essential and also when in excess can lead to some disastrous outcomes, be it ego, lazy head or pride that could drown you down.

Re: Do you own your private keys with Desktop Wallets?
by
Peter Bailey
on 17/07/2018, 12:36:54 UTC
If you do not solely control the private key you do not own the bitcoin. This has been an adage in Bitcoin since the beginning. Unfortunately, in the case of online wallets, services, exchanges, or any other service, you do not solely control the private key and you can’t protect it in any way. In order for the service to work they need to be able to move the bitcoin around. You deposit it to them and they control it on your behalf. If you are concerned about security move your bitcoin to a wallet you control, either desktop, mobile, hardware, or paper.

Re: Is there difference between bank and cryptocurrency exchange

An exchange is where you buy/sell cryptocurrencies. A wallet is where you keep cryptocurrencies you’ve bought or have received.

No, an exchange cannot be a wallet. However exchanges usually come with a wallet.

Coinbase, for instance, is an exchange and the account you create with them already comes with a wallet from them. This wallet is controlled by you but “owned” by them. I say owned because if they’re website crashes you have no access to “your wallet”. That’s why most people suggest you create a wallet using example MyEtherWallet where you are in complete control.

No. You need an exchange or interface to send or purchase cryptocurrencies. However you don’t need any of these to receive cryptocurrencies from someone who is sending to your wallet address. You don’t even need to be online. It’s rather that person who needs the interface to send to you.

Re: What problems can Bitcoin & Blockchain solve ??

The most well-known application of it is in the financial sector. With blockchain, you can send money directly to someone else without going through a third-party like a bank or payment processor. Because the blockchain is secured with a decentralized system through cryptography, you can trust that their won’t be fraud involved with the transaction.

Re: Why bitcoin requires approval from countries ?
by
Peter Bailey

It doesn’t require approval. But companies that want to operate businesses around crypto want to be able to setup knowing that they’re not going to suddenly find themselves on the wrong side of a regulation. So by lobbying jurisdictional clarification (or approval for certain usages), it allows businesses to be able to operate.

Re: How can Bitcoin helps the world's economic? ✅

Digital money does have the potential to improve the fairness of the world's financial landscape. Here's how:

All over the world, 2 billion people don't have any kind of access to a financial service. But with an open, digital financial platform, more financial services can thrive and serve these excluded people.
Ultimately, technology itself is not necessarily a panacea, but it is a tool we can use to change the world for the better.

Not much will change, miners have already packed up shop and moved to USA / Canada, to areas where electricity is cheap. It will hurt their top line but that's about it.

Re: what is the main reason for india to ban cryptocurrency

I also think it’s a failure of Government if they banned cryptos in India. World is moving fast now and they have to allow citizens to explore and invest in Virtual currencies. Indian Government is worry for Banks or either they do not want citizens to make good profit.

Re: Do you think Bitcoin will become the first world currency for buy and sell ?
by

Bitcoin has quite a following among vendors. Keep in mind that when you purchase Bitcoin from an exchange you have to pay a fee. In some cases a substantial fee, to acquire the Bitcoin. Vendors have factored this into their investment strategy, and many are offering a discount to customers who use Bitcoin. I believe this will continue as long as the exchange premiums remain high.

Re: Why did people get involved in bitconnect?

I think it depends on when they invested, and what they actually thought they were investing in.
If someone thought it was a real investment platform that could continue forever, and not a limited time thing, then they may have over-invested and feel bad.
On the other hand, those people who thought it had a limited time probably made a calculated investment and aren’t too worried about any loss, or made a little profit.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, mother of all altcoins. And blockchain is a digital ledger that provides a secure way of making and recording transactions, agreements and contracts – anything that needs to be recorded and verified as having taken place.

Re: Crypto is For Risk Takers

You are not comppletely right here, remember that business itself is defined as a pool of of risk, and i think that even living on this earth is a risk in my opinion.No venture no success, if you enter into a business for instance, you either stand to gain or loss; and those that venture in cryptos, entered to make money but they can also experience lost. I think risk taking is generally a win or loose thing in every business.
