I have been visiting coinMarketCal and for several years I noticed not all of their announcement are good, but I guess the majority of it are real. Seeing on this Lamden there is only 33% confidence over 800 plus votes, but votes can be manipulated too. I will not buy for now but I will be watching it, Just found their source code on github https://github.com/Lamden/

You already knew it, they are riding the hype and wants to make some money, defi has been making a noise and we notice new defi projects popping out of nowhere. It is like some years ago. ICO is making a noise and then bunch of ICO has been launched and ended up ruining the system cause by scammers and fraud. I hope it will not happen this time, it is not on top yet this defi hype is still minor compared to ICO hype in previous years.

I guess this is one of the goodnews https://medium.com/moviebloc/early-completion-of-mbl-token-distribution-for-private-investors-2b8d91177010, they bought it back and will lockup a total amount of 322,321,429 MBL, this is really good for investors and traders. I bought this token when I heard it will be listed on binance after they won the voting. But I already sold it, If I am still holding it now maybe I am still at loss but the good thing is they have some update.

Sad to say the majority of the new projects are just aiming to create free money, that is a fact. Only a few of them are real that success in this field. Abandoned, scam and failure projects are increasing way back 2017 I guess only 10% survives until now. I am not against new projects in fact I want it, it helps us to spread adoption, but in any industry, there are always people that think only about money no matter it is good or bad. For now, I prefer existing companies to adopt crypto which is safer than a newly created company from nowhere.

I understand your point, if the topic is a general advice not targetting specific project or platform, I guess threads like that should be merged but if it is about a specific project it should be posted on scam accusation instead. If you find one you can freely report it to moderator. But if the thread is about something like, a new technique of scammers nowadays I guess that is really helpful for us newbies to be informed, I still consider myself a newbie.  
You said it yourself, "are Newbies a bunch of retards that do not understand Scams?" for sure they understand, newbies are curious individuals and for sure they will know the truth about cryptocurrency and its importance, there are just people creating topics without searching first if it already exist.

The OP didn't complain about the exchange feature like trading or withdrawal, The OP clearly says he made a mistake on deposit for not putting a MEMO which is very important on exchanges, usually the exchange use only one wallet on this chains BNB, XRP, EOS. So to identify your deposit they need this MEMO and the OP forgot to put it  on his deposit and his problem is the exchange response to recover it, he is waiting for it.
Some low level exchange like this has really poor support.

It depends on your location some platform like coinbase or binance, they have an option to withdraw on banks/credit/debit cards for selected countries, you might want to check it out, you have some other options like anybody says a (P2P marketplaces) I suggest to try the reputable platforms for your safety. Binance has P2P feature now so I suggest trying it first instead of other none reputable platforms.

On the other topic, I know Gordon from TV, just check your link like what the h*ll is that title? "We say Farewell to one of the Greatest Chefs, Gordon Ramsay." I thought he was dead lol.

What is your perspective about this guys, Is this move are beneficial for you or not? They are swapping MCO to CRO and will combine utilities and in several months I guess they will abandon MCO, I have been staking at their wallet, if not because of the swap bonus, maybe I am at loss but thanks to that my capital amount were back. I don't think we all have the same cases, I just hope everyone that invested on MCO got profit or gets their capital back. I have seen some comment on telegram that they loss some amount after the swap, For me I earn instead, what about your cases guys?

Correct, Initial Exchange Offerings have really taking over the token sale services to the public. But what if some technology will give us something like Decentralized tokensale? We can view what is going on and the project is reputable, have great marketing and good idea, maybe it could bring it back.

I am thinking of something, DeFi has many possible services like this, found on binance blog.


What if DeFi can make something like, Decentralized Tokensale? That's a game changer I guess.

I guess what you mean is, like WINK on TRON Network is a Gambling dapps that runs on blockchain. They have their own advantages. On traditional gambling sites, you have more options to withdraw or deposits, some of them allow you to exchange one coin to another which is convenient. On Gambling dapps you can feel more secure because you have the full control of your funds, every time you bet it is initiated from your own wallet and your profits will go to your wallet directly which you have the private keys or similar, if compared to exchanges, it is like a DEX.  I guess they will both co-exist.

Good tips, If I remember there are only 2 good and reputable manager in the forum It is Hhampuz and yahoo62278, but they are rarely having a full bounty campaigns which has social media, blogging, etc. They focus on Bitcoin paid signature campaigns. When I join a bounty before my mindset was join as much as you can, but that is completely wrong, quality over quantity, just select those who has more potential with facts.

Not just new gen tokens, We all know that bitcoin is bullish this past few weeks, almost everything is beeing lifted up, it causes positive vibes to the crypto community. A lot of good news is happening like crypto adoption in some countries, lots of updates on different blockchains, etc. But we can't ignore the fact that this new tokens called DeFi has been making a noise recently. In my own perspective Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has some potential to play a huge part of this industry.

Yes, there are cases like that but if you join some bounties/ICO last 2017, a lot of scam projects are having real pictures on blockchain conferences, that picture is not stolen, it is the picture of the CEO/founder himself attending on that particular meetup. Some are not just pictures but video footage too and that project is gone now, I lot of people making scam accusation thread about them.

Just encountered a fake Trustwallet app recently, this wallet has been making a noise on social media, they are having a huge TWT token giveaway, I guess that is why some scammers targeting to imitate this wallet.

Make sure to check the ratings, number of downloads and the uploader on playstore before intalling it.
check the official trustwallet website https://trustwallet.com/ and click the wallets for your respective devices.






Thanks JeromeTash, help us report this Fake app guys. I reported it here

Not just ether, most of the Altcoins is in bullish because of the influence of bitcoin being bullish, Just earlier this day, Bitcoin hit $12k marks and ether $400, but bitcoin suddenly crashed bringing ether down too. Launching testnet I guess is not really a big deal, but it should help the mainnet to be better launching on 2021. Some people are only making hype of it, careful of bulltrap and FOMO.

Saying it's the right time is really hard, It really depends on you. What are your plans after you bought it, do you want to hold it for short or long term. Maybe, engage on day trading there is so many aspects. If you wish to hodl long term I guess anytime is the right time because the future of cryptocurency is really bright just my own perspective it might not happen now but I hope in the future, but if you are a short term holder and get easily affected by FUDs, etc. goodluck with that because market now is volatile, investing into someting there is always a risk.

Sad to say if you bought with banks/credit/debit cards that is always the case aside from fees you are buying those coins at highest possible price, that is not a volatility issue, that is always the case if you are buying with credit cards. If you are not convince try other platform like binance. I have notice it on variuos platforms, like binance, Trustwallet, Blockchain wallet, etc. they are all the same, maybe that is their way so they could earn more from us.

EDIT: Just test binance now, their rate is more cr*zy look at that difference.

There are some time that finding about the photo if real or not does not help. I hope what happens on 2017 will not repeat, some scammers CEO are not scared to show their faces on social media or even blockchain conferences personally, and some did even get a selfie with well-known crypto individuals and use it to promote their scam projects. My point is, the photo listed on their website is real but they have hidden motives, I never heard one of them go to jail. But finding the photo if real or not will surely minimize any possible financial damages.

I am both disagree/agree a little bit with this, bitcoin alone is already enough and safe investment if you are holding for long term. But I doubt it will work on altcoins, because some altcoins is not really trusted we are not sure if it will recover after a crashed, so diversification is good option if you prefer to invest on altcoins.

Just a little tip for investors/traders: Always set stop loss  

In majority, It matters a cool and decent project name will give some first impressions to investors. It gives a positive impact to the projects, but if it sounds like a scam it takes time to build a community and trust but of course facts about the projects is more important. But we have successful projects that started from jokes or meme, like doge coin, It is trading on the most trusted exchange right now binance and has some decent trading volume.
