Bitcoin Forum

Hello , I have done few researches on this new platforms and projects , so i understand that most of them are scam projects , about 70-80% , am i correct???  So i got 30 new projects and done my investigations , and 24 projects were scamm projects :'( :'( :'(

so, new comers should be careful about these type of projects , so remaing 6 projects was , * CurioInest *  ,  * wyretrade * , * altrady * , *as.exchange * , * Exolic * , * CryptoHarbor Exchange * ....

From these 6 , i'm looking deeply on these 3 ---> altrady  ,  wyretrade , as.exchange
Because they have provide enough information's and details of the team members and where they are based on , and there road map and future events etc...    You should look at these projects if you are a crypto expert .. because may be  i was wrong , so, reply your opinion ...

Here we go again, why are people even talking about curioinvest because there isn't any new information about this project today, nothing exciting is coming, no new exchange listing, no new partnerships, nothing! How about finding better new projects to invest money on? Majority of the altcoins you mentioned are that good compare to what I have here

1. Tomochain
2. DIA
3. Aave
4. Avalanche
5. Polkadot
6. Elrond
7. ChainLink

The title of your topic with the content of the discussion misleads those who read.
Title:

The main content of the topic you want to discuss.


Which one should answer the title or content of the discussion in the topic.

Maybe I wait for the OP Edits first, so that it is clear to answer.
There are several discussants on this topic: fraud and means, predictions, income and investment.

You don't have a good research skills OP, sorry to say, you said you did research on 30 different new crypto project and you end up picking wyretrade and as.exchange? Why? I can't even seen yearn finance or synthetix on your list, I don't trust the projects you choose, only curioinvest is a bit popular in crypto space today and the last news I heard from them is a new partnership with MERJ Exchange that has something to do with supercars tokenization

In crypto a lot is unpredictable, I used to do crypto investment on Binance doing IEO and trading there

yeah i changed the title little bit , so we all know about binance, bittrex etc , but by invesing or trading on trusted new exchange / project will be more profitable than present exchanges , i have also invested for xfinance exchange and trade on there and i got more than 2k $ profirt , But team members were dissappered after getting their money and now its a scam...But i got considerable profit from that project , but some people were lost their money , So , I have that type of experience as well , thats why im doing my own researches and inform new comers ....   

Thank you for considering as.exchange (http://as.exchange) as a part of your research. We really appreciate that, and more than happy to answer any questions you, or other community members might have. Some of them might have been already answered on our official [ANN] (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5293103.0) so you could check that as well.

I am sorry to point that out, but Uber, Facebook, and even yearn were also small at some point in time. While you are absolutely right that unfortunately blockchain space has been heavily abused by scammers, in fact not everyone is like that. This is actually the reason why as.exchange (http://as.exchange) does not make any ICO/TGO/IEO/DeFi/own token/public fundraising, or something like that. Instead, we developed the entire product with own team's capital (some members asked us to show the team on our [ANN] tread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5293103.0), so you can read about us there), and we simply offer a better solution for anyone who worries about where BTC price will go tomorrow, and who want's to earn above market return without leverage.

While we cannot make comments about wyretrade, if you do have any questions about as.exchange (http://as.exchange) or how our product works, feel free to reach out to us directly, and we will be happy to assist you.

Feel free to check out the recent video by our CEO, where he explains how you can earn and invest in BTC and get less risks while having higher returns with new derivatives.

I think its better to do a research by your self , otherwise you will lost your money

Absolutely, and that's the reason why so many scams still exist - people tend to prefer to handle their money to someone who got big PR and large marketing campaign, irrespective of if its scam or not. - "it's marketed, so it's good". And then blame media, regulators, advisors, etc. for not stopping them.

Sad to say, but it is. Thus, we need to be punctilious in assessing every project. It is good to see that you manage to conduct researches before investing. It will be useful as you proceed in making an investment decision.

It seems that there is a mistake. Are you talking about CurioInvest? If it is one of the projects you are considering, then you might want to see the reported scam accusation about this in the forum. It may help you in your research regarding these projects. Contemplate it before making any decision.

[1] BEWARE CurioInvest Project - Team Selling Coins (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5192491.0)

That's what happens when those projects issue "another useless token" or do "decentralized DeFi and then get "hacked" (often actually it's fake and it's exit-scam)". That's why those things are completely out of scope for us and will never be implemented :) (not self-promotion)

It is unlikely that anyone will be able to give an accurate answer, the only way to keep up with the times and navigate the cryptoplane is to constantly monitor the market, no matter how the project is advertised, no one will offer you any insurance or guarantees.
You either follow the crowd or take the initiative. 8)

crypto projects are a large enough source of money for developers so this is also an opportunity for scammers to get big profits by making fraudulent projects, as bounty participants, of course we have to be really careful in choosing a project for us to follow, not only for us to get paid but that way we can contribute to us not promoting projects that are indicated scam so that by doing so we can prevent the fraudulent project from developing, it is quite difficult to eliminate fraudulent projects but at least we can minimize the fraudulent project by not participating in therein.

By the way a little note on many other services, exchanges and FinTech companies... Currently, the trend in FinTech is such that when you see "Bitcoin" in your personal cabinet / wallet - it's not the actual Bitcoin, but just a record in the service's web-page (you can think of it as fictional Bitcoin tied to the actual Bitcoin price). Thus, there's no guarantee that once you deposit it there, you will actually be able to withdraw that Bitcoin (in fact: exchange fictional Bitcoin to the actual Bitcoin). Without the service allowing you to do the fake<->real Bitcoin exchange, you can use your fake Bitcoin only within the ecosystem of that service.

Do not trust those 6 projects either!
In some cases they are false profiles, it even gives you LinkedIn and other social networks.
To know if a project is good, it must have good partners, a white paper, there must be interviews with the CEO and it must be highly recognized in the world of cryptocurrencies.

your opinion makes sense, if we look at it from an investor's point of view. researching in depth is indeed the main thing we have to do in order not to lose the funds which we will do later. but if we look at it from the perspective of a bounty hunter, this is something that doesn't really matter to me. because it's better, we just follow whatever the project does

Well I can speak only for ourselves, and if you have any concerns regarding us being legit, feel free to ask or DM us - happy to answer any questions you might have.
Regarding the second part of your comment "good partners" - Madoff Ponzi had the best partners you can imagine in the world, PlusToken - was promoted by everyone; whitepaper - can be ordered on Fiverr or on BitcoinTalk for fairly cheap price, or even can be automatically generated (there are services for that); and how about those who don't do ICO or DeFi? What's the purpose of WhitePaper there? Do you request Uber to have a whitepaper too when they just started? As for interviews with CEO - you can get those for $3-5k at most with "decent" media and more expensive with bigger media. As for "recognized" - Facebook, Netflix, Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS, Uber, - you name it - had 0 recognition in the early days.

Sounds like "Do not invest in Facebook at IPO, Do not invest in AirBnb, Do not invest in Lyft; invest only in Intel, HP, Microsoft, GM, GE, etc." Then how Sequoia Capital and other VCs invest?

I believe your point makes the most sense. And some projects / companies (like us) never even ask for any public investment, because we do believe in whatever you guys believe - if you can't run a business without external money and not ready to put all personal savings in your idea, investments will not save you either, because you don't know how to run a business or your yourself don't believe in your idea.

Me either. Not sure what's really the direct objective of the post.
I am not sure about the mentioned projects because they're either new or just something that I didn't really know that exist.
Seems like on of the lead of a project answers everyone's question here and now anyway.
I guess that's a perk.

If you've done with your research and decide to invest in that project, you need to be careful to determine how much money you will use to invest in that project. We do not know if they can survive in the hard of the crypto worlds, and they can compete with the other project or not. Maybe you can invest in the project that is already running for some time to see how good their progress and goals they already achieve. That can help you analyze if the project will succeed in the future or fail in the short term.

what will kill new projects like that is their inability to compete with projects that are already on the market. of course, it has to do with market confidence and risk.
for the new project in the discussion. I think if he has achieved confidence in the project it is better to start small. do not invest in a new project with a large investment.

There will be competition at the market since once the new coin or token lists on the exchange, and traders will see if that new coin or token can give them profit or not. If it is not, they will not have a passion for having that coin or token.

I agree about investing in a small amount to see how good the project and how serious the team to work hard for their project. We can allocate more money in the next few weeks or months after seeing the project running well from time to time.

I wonder by what criteria you’re chosen the projects for your research. It was a random selection or you took first thirty projects you had found here on Bitcointalk, or maybe you used some other sources? How did you find out that those 24 projects are fake and will definitely finally scam?

So guys after these few months how many of the projects on the list survived? :)

We on the contrary, just launched a new feature which is getting popular (https://www.newsbtc.com/press-releases/as-exchange-launches-peer-to-peer-trading-of-spot-bitcoin-with-zero-trading-and-network-fees/). Now you can trade on as.exchange Bitcoin P2P with 0% fees, and we compensate your BTC network fees (https://as.exchange/BitcoinZeroFee). How many other projects you know able to do that? ;)

Haha! Some did well while some didn't do as expected but there was no list which we can tally, you certainly did well :) and congrats on that.

That's really amazing and zero fees is surely one of the first times I have heard for a P2P platform. I hope you can keep it like that for longer period though, do it doesn't look like a promotion.

That being said, from what I understand, you are an exchange while we are discussing what are the best possible options for investing (coins/tokens) so I mean yes you are doing great, but if I am not wrong you don't have a token of your own, right? Or if you have it please mention :)

You bumped a little old thread by the way, but I don't mind because you gave some really good information and I might use the 0% P2P myself in near future.

I don't really know about the exchanges you mentioned because I only use trusted exchanges like Binance, which is certain that my funds can be safe

List of tokens and exchanges that OP said seems not familiar to me.
I don't know when and where did he find them, I'm sure that it's not the safe to invest what OP said. I don't personally recommend putting your money in new cryptocurrency that low profile and have little information about them. If you're planning to invest, try buying tokens in Binance exchange then transfer it to a secure wallet and make sure that you and only you have the access to it. You should always be updated because sometimes tokens become delisted in the market. Try to invest in Top 50 cryptocurrencies rather than tokens in ICO/IEO or other that still in coin offering.

Thank you for your kind words :) And we can assure you that we aren't going anywhere ever, and my answer to your next question will partially explain why.



I hope we can see you on as.exchange, and would be really grateful for any kinds of comments or feedback you might have. And no, zero fees isn't for promotion. It will always be like that. And we will be adding other crypto for P2P trading as well, and that also will be with 0% fees. Btw some users on Twitter asked us to add NANO next for 0% fee P2P trading (we thought of ETH being the next candidate, but that will ultimately depend on community), so if you or any of the other BitcoinTalk members will have recommendations, please feel free to express your opinion on our thread.

And answering your second question, nope - we don't have own token, and never will have one (that's why I don't know why we are on this list, but since we are mentioned, I am here to reply and clarify :D). Do you really wanna see on the market another x-token/coin? While we at as.exchange strongly support and "all-in" for blockchain, FinTech, and innovation (actually we are more innovative than the mainstream crypto exchanges - you can see about that on our website), we are against scammers and anyone issuing useless sh*tcoins. That's why we, while not being a very large team yet (disclosed on our thread), we put in the company our own money, and our own BTC (including for covering costs, and for initial liquidity). And when we need to do fundraising, we won't do that via token-sale, but rather via traditional and compliant process. That's how we got our additional angel funding (in our news page) - cash-for-equity as it is.

Do you guys prefer to trade on exchange that goes through lengthy and not easy fundraising, and doesn't ask its own (potential) customers for funding, or you prefer to trade on exchange issuing "yet another token" and that can't fund itself? :)




Well, Binance clearly has a strong security (nonetheless we also do, and continually improve it), market forces will naturally make it fade away quicker than you think for certain reasons.




We just started, so while can't speak for others in the thread, we surely will be continually improving that. Despite of that, we already had few millions USD trading since launching in P2P in complex derivatives (for which we are getting the patent). Let's see how things go with the launch of feature that most of the users are more familiar with.


You made a great points on safety and security! Love to see a throughout and reasonable view on the prospects issuing new coins/tokens. So with us (not speaking for others in that list), that's what we always say - no tokens, no coins from us. Treat us NOT as your "potential investment target" (unless you are a big VC, then give us a call :D), but as a service, which we happily provide and always strive to make sure things which are happening on similar places (probably you know about the sad stories of LocalBitcoins, Hodl Hold, LocalCoinSwap, Remitano, etc., etc., each of whom charing 1% fee), never take place on as.exchange (https://as.exchange/)

You are certainly right for the current times. We will be working really hard, and know for sure that we will change that quite soon :) Adopting to innovation takes time, and can't be done overnight.

We definitely would really appreciate your valuable feedback and opinion on what you think we could do better to make sure that as.exchange is the only "go-to" exchange for all Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trades.

P.S. this is just the 1st step for us btw, the asset and product range that we have in the pipeline, hasn't been done by any exchange in crypto yet.

No one knows what is the bestbplace to see and look for project. But if you really want to invest big ammount of money to new project. Its good to do reseacrh or call the project company. If possible you visit them, for online searching. So far i vote for bitcointalk forum to look for new project.

It's so bad that crypto activities has been filled with alot of scam even most projects are now scaming, launching ICO and runinng with investors funds. Like I always say go for project which got strong backups which community is very large and got alot to offer, some shit project launches and claim  to solve a certain problem in crypto through thier coin! so don't just take  what there say make research and see how true is this like for example soveryn project no doubt that project is strong enough, it's an example of a good project it got strong backups, it has not been listed yet but many people are just too ready to buy and also big investors are backing up the project.

A common and well known rule in finance - anyone guaranteeing profits, is a scam. Nothing is certain under the sun, and that's the thing many new investors don't know about but fall under hype marketing tactics guaranteeing profits, dreaming that "this is the thing that will change my life, because it's the next Bitcoin". Just to find themselves in the end holding illiquid tokens or being investors of effectively a simple landing page + some smart contract purchased & modified for $100-200. So just a friendly advice - be very careful with such things.

Well said, it's true if not 100% it's  99% that those who guarantee profits fall into scam project,

those who managed to earned are being allure to recruit more people to invest too, only to realize

that they are supporting scammers, along the way they will see that people behind such project

are  running away together with the fund.

Yes, that's exactly always the case with "guaranteed profits". The only one who benefit there is the founder / (founding team), and not even the early adopters most the times, because their profits will be "paper profits" that is impossible to convert into anything.

The best place to invest is defi
do your research and pick peak lol
just in case, i found peakdefi and it's a great option
https://peakdefi.com/
https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/peakdefi/
 :D

DeFi as an idea / concept is great for sure, but until they solve the issue of "decentralized = nobody is responsible for anything", I won't buy into any of that.

1) As a company / project / organization, it's irresponsible not to be held liable for customers and investors loses that result from using your own product, therefore, we don't do DeFi for example. When people put trust and money in our product, it's clear that we would be responsible for anything happens with that, and won't be using excuses like "it's decentralized, so you are responsible for your own money". Imagine if banks (yet we all hate them, but still) would tell you "sorry we got hacked, but it's your problem"? Would financial system grow into what it is today?

2) The current problem of DeFis is that even when you read that they got "hacked" - they usually (not always) didn't, but it's either their team decided to exit-scam, or one of employees who knew about that vulnerability.

Would NASDAQ or CME or CBOE or any of those be able to become what they are toady with such approach? - That's something to consider before using defi.

Defi is underrated, btw If we're talking about to go projects I suggest PeakDefi, it's a pretty good one.
I was a beginner when I came to PeakDefi, they are making educational content on YouTube, so I was watching their vids
No doubt DEFI is our future, NTF and DEFI!
So I picked PEAK for the start, now I'm into big projects cuz I watched their content a year ago, great boys
Found out PEAK will be listed on OKEx and bought more
+ NFT's in september
+ they have their PEAKDEFI wallet app, but staking is not available yet
+ bsc staking
https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/peakdefi/
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.peakdefiwallet&hl=uk&gl=US

Many great Defi projects out there
NFT's are pretty hyped now
I searched for projects and tokens right before the listing
found out about PEAKDEFI and they will be listed on OKEx, + Bsc staking is live, + NFT's in September, so for me it's a match lol  ;D ;D ;D

As you can see, most advises you to invest in the DeFi sector. I also recommend that you look in this direction, because this trend is now bringing good profits to everyone and everyone.
Therefore, first of all, figure out what decentralized finance is, and then I advise you the history of studying the IDO of various projects in order to have an understanding of how much money it brings and how it all works.

Just be careful investing in Defi. Despite it being on the trend, the scams are also rampant, you don't to fall into a scam Defi that's why researching it is very essential and vital.
The profit projection will encourage you because of the numbers that it will show but don't look at it as accurately as it is.
