Re: [2018-02-28] Cryptocurrency Market Stable at $450 Billion, Bitcoin Price Remains

Regarding the last part, I wonder how much of an effect Bill Gates' statements had on the price, because if they were taken more seriously, the price would have gone down even more, methinks. People may have realized that Bill Gates is not an expert of cryptocurrencies, at least not yet.

That is a very generic response coming from him and frankly I'm disappointed. I would have expected a more substantial answer from someone who should know a lot about the latest technologies. If we're going to ban crypto because they are being used by baddies as well, then we should ban pretty much everything.

Re: Bitcoin could hit $50,000 by end of 2018?

Based on the performance in the last two months, I think we won't hit $50K, because there hasn't been a steadily increasing trend so far. If we hit $50K, it will be due to a sudden price explosion like towards the end of last year, which turned out to be bad for bitcoin.

I don't think so. Being rich equals doing whatever I want to do, in my book. So if I have to live somewhere I don't want to live in order to have money, how rich am I really? I do realize paying taxes stings, but I want myself to determine what I do with my money, and not vice versa.

Congrats to the guy for being such a good sport. I think a lot of people made fun of him since 2010, but nice of him to embrace it and not let any of the bad talk get to him. He has already become a bitcoin legend, and this solidifies his position further.

Re: Hardware Wallet

Hardware wallets are a must have, especially if you have a lot of money in crypto. Think of it this way: Pretty much every single wallet has an app and you can carry it around with you on your phone. If you had a million dollars, would you go about your day with all that money on you? Or would you store it somewhere safe, like in a safe in your home? I think this analogy explains the need to own hardware wallets pretty well.

Sorry to say this, but this question is very pointless. Crypto is not like other markets, where you can say a certain trend dominates the market and prices will rise. Especially nowadays when no one has any idea where the market is headed.

So the short answer is: You will never have a satisfying answer to your question, because there honestly is none.

Re: 46% of Last Year’s ICOs Have Failed Already

Well no one claimed that ICOs were magical endeavors and all of them would succeed. They are pretty much no different than other, standard business: If you don't have a working product or are not addressing a specific need, you are not going to make money selling that product. Even if you succeed initially (off of hype or whatever), eventually you will fall down on your face.

The same applies to ICOs, and I'm surprised the ratio of failed ICOs is not higher, to be honest.

I know right? I thought the % was like 90% of ICOs fail, but like you said, If it's not usable, then why is it here?

Well they try to make money however they can. Since ICOs are not established yet, there isn't an established opinion on the part of investors as well. Most regard ICOs that will multiply their money by 50 magically, so most invest in whatever they see without looking into it. Some industrious people try to capitalize off of this by launching an ICO and trying to create hype, although their product is worthless.

Well the infrastructure is getting better on the one hand, but the main reason that people lost interest. Once the price crashed from $20K to $9K, a lot of people lost interest, cut their losses and sold off their coins, so there are fewer transactions right now. Let's see what will happen once the price starts rising again and reaches, say, the $15K level.

I get about 200 dollars per a campaign as a Member. And the bounties are generally for 2 months. Compared to what is written at the topic, it is very very small. I don't know in which bounties you take place, but I never saw one which gives so much.

I live in a country, where you can see almost very day someone making cruel things to animals. I personally think the laws are very weak at this point. If the laws were to do the same cruel thing at that person, I think that would avoid a lot.

amacın çok kısa zamanda çok büyük kar yapmaksa, evet geç olabilir. Bitcoin 2017 yılında yaptığı peak kadar kuvvetli bir yükselişi 2018 de yapmayabilir. Ama bu demek değil ki artış olmayacak. Yani amacın herhangi birşey kazanmaksa bence geç değil. Ayrıca hiç birşey koymadan kampanyalar sayesinde de kazanabilirsin. Bence girmek için değer.

I personally don't like selling altcoins, since I also think they didn't have the peak at theşr price, but on the other hand I also don't like making all the risk for an altcoin. I like to spread the risk, that why I sell half of my altcoins to buy Bitcoin.

I never had a long distance relationship, but had the opportunity to observe several long distance relationships. I never saw one, which worked. The longest I saw was for 3 years but then one of the partners gave up. So I would say, no, it doesn't work.

Life abroad is never for the faint heart. You’ll be out of your comfort zone — out of the familiar, safe place you’re used to. There are times that you will just cry for no apparent reason. You’ll get frustrated a lot of times. You’ll even start giving up on yourself. And you’ll start questioning if you’ve really made the right decision. What thoughts can you share about living away from your family and work abroad?
 

I lived abroad for 6 years and had many times the same feeling you wrote. I also had good times and a lot of time but also times when I felt very alone and don't belong to that society.

Ripple seems to be a "hype" coin, riding the wave of partnership news with not a lot of substance behind it. Add to that the fact that Ripple has become famous for practically being the most centralized coin right now, you can understand why people are trying to be careful with Ripple.

They don't need to ban it directly to outlaw it. What if fiat money made off of selling cryptocurrencies were declared illegal? Even if you had billions of bitcoins, they would be worthless because you wouldn't be able to cash out legally.

Doesn't matter that much. Well constructed one liner can be more useful and constructive then a multi paragraph text. Just write as you would tell it to your friend, don't overwrite and don't chase merit, just keep it simple and straight on point.

I haven't seen a one-liner get any merits up until now, no matter how good it was. Maybe people are inherently more inclined to reward longer posts, because they imply that the reader knew what they were talking about?

Which leads people to draw things out, since merit is the most important thing for them right now.
