Re:Bitcoin Bubble on Thursday June 15, 2017 @04:01PM (#14563890)
I agree with you that the price of Bitcoin fluctuates but if you take a look at the price of Bitcoin over the past two years you will see a steady rise. Bitcoin is not mature and it is still in its infancy stage (early adopter). As its usefulness develops globally along with easy to use interfaces it will mature past the early adopter stage. One important point is that the uniqueness of Bitcoin is not only its usefulness as a global exchange vehicle but also the Blockchain technology that backs it. Just my own opinion.
Re:Ask HN: Which altcoin do you think is promosing? on Saturday June 03, 2017 @07:57AM (#14475987)
If you are interested in new alt coins I would suggest that you may want to look into Decent https://decent.ch . It is a content distributing network with very good substantive potential, IMO. It is scheduled to be released in the next month or two.
Re:Ask HN: How Much Alcohol/Coffee Do You Drink? on Saturday May 20, 2017 @08:09AM (#14382036)
coffee free for the last 30 days (used to drink about 2 cups per day) and alcohol free for the past year (used to drink about 3 glasses of wine every evening and more on the weekend) Feel great - work/family and social life definitely massively improved.
Re:Opinion: is it safe to invest in Bitcoin? on Sunday March 26, 2017 @10:06AM (#13960833)
I would consider Bitcoin more of a speculation as opposed to an investment at this time since the currency and blockchain technology elements are in the early adopter stage. Much like the internet in the late 1980's when many viewed it as a fad until acceptance and utilization grew. At this point I would say it is safe to speculate in Bitcoin.
Re:Ask HN: Your Best Morning Routine on Sunday March 05, 2017 @09:57AM (#13796184)
I normally wake up about 4:30 AM and spend a few minutes journaling (I use the 5 minute journal technique). Followed by breathing and stretching exercises (Win Hof based) and finally 15 minutes of meditation. This routine allows me to start the day extremely focused but most importantly very calm. I should mention that I am a "morning person" so this may not be the best recipe for everyone.
Re:Ask HN: How to get more working hours in a day? on Sunday March 05, 2017 @09:49AM (#13796150)
I faced a similar situation so I tried meditating for a few minutes in the afternoon and that helped put my mind back in focus.

Well Done. This is the type of employee education platform that many US based corporations are looking for. Do you have insight to any similar applications targeted toward the US economy. Thank you for sharing.

Re:Ask HN: How do I trade Bitcoins smartly? on Sunday December 04, 2016 @05:38AM (#13099518)
If you are in the US i would start with Coinbase and their trading platform GDAX. With regards to trading strategy it is dependent on your personal preference and the time/resources you have to devote. I am using the buy and hold method which has worked out well due to the steady price increase and minimal volatility the coin has had over the past two years.
Re:Ask HN: Best way to manage custom email addresses? on Saturday October 22, 2016 @07:09AM (#12768242)
In order to reduce the delay in receiving mail from non-gmail addresses you may want to consider forwarding the emails from the domain register to your gmail account. However this will not solve your issue #2.
Nice - It makes seeing the results of different options strategies very simple and easy to understand.

Re:Ask HN: How do you securely store your Bitcoin? on Tuesday December 29, 2015 @07:37AM (#10806409)
It all depends on the value of your Bitcoin and what you use is for. Are you saving Bitcoin for hopes of future increase in value, do you trade it frequently or do you use Bitcoin to purchase goods and services. With that said the safest method is a paper wallet. But a paper wallet makes it difficult to buy,sell and use Bitcoin frequently. I have found that the solution that works best for me is a combination of storage alternatives. A paper wallet for saving your bitcoin (think of it like money in a bank vault), a coinbase account for buying and selling frequently (like a brokerage account) and a iPhone app for small purchases (like pocket money).
Re:Bitcoin and the hype cycle on Sunday December 06, 2015 @07:06AM (#10685046)
I have noticed the relationship to the basic hype cycle as well. As the average volume of blockchain transactions increased price stability has also increased. One can only wonder what will happen to the price of Bitcoin once all coins have been issued while the number of blockchain transactions continues to increase.
Re:Ask HN: What's the best Bitcoin exchange/wallet out there? on Saturday September 05, 2015 @06:24AM (#10174430)
I have used coinbase for about a year now and am very satisfied with the service, security and new enhancements they have added.
We did an investigation of a similiar idea and some of the initial challenges were: 1. How to track the cycles if you don't have predetermined pick up and drop off points. 2. How to let users know if a cycle is available and location 3. How to know when a cycle is in need of maintenance We ultimately concluded that the concept would probably work best if it is very localized or community based so the users could assist in the running of the program.
