101  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it too late? (To buy Bitcoin now) on: June 07, 2018, 09:38:18 PM
Bitcoin is volatile currency and it is very unpredictable. Thus, setting the ideal time to engage with bitcoin is hard and I think engaging in bitcoin in diffirent season is timely but it is up to you will appreciate it. At this moment the value of bitcoin is too low and this is one of the best time to engage with it. But for me, no matter what season you will it takes it is still best time to buy or engage with bitcoin.
102  Economy / Speculation / Re: Patience is all we need on: June 06, 2018, 10:34:25 AM
Nowadays we need patience for the insistence happens in the price fall of all token. We need to calm down and don't commit any bad decision that leads to sorrow. Since most of the crypto's price now is falling, the better idea today has become persuasive or take it as a negative impact thus as good opportunity to rebuy coin in lower price.

Nice project. I want to participate this project.
104  Economy / Services / Re: [CFNP] IOS - Signature & Avatar Campaign | Up to $150/week in BTC & Tokens! on: May 18, 2018, 09:27:07 AM
Hey everyone! I'd like to thank you all for your patience over this past week. I am happy to announce on behalf of the IOST team that the campaign is being extended until the end of June.

In light of that, there are a few changes going forward that I'd like to go over.

First, payments will be adjusted every week to the USD denominated values of IOST and BTC listed in the original post. I'm sure this will come as a disappointment to some, but keep in mind that price volatility can swing both ways (as we have seen in crypto markets over the past week!).

Additionally, while the team is happy so many of you are eager to help spread the word about IOS, the campaign is being scaled back slightly for this next round. Unfortunately, this means that not everyone who is currently enrolled will continue as part of the campaign. I will announce the updated participant list this Saturday so people have a chance to see this post.

Finally, those of you who were part of the campaign and have since removed your information/applied for other campaigns, please indicate to me whether you would like to be considered for the upcoming round, either by posting here or PMing me.

As before, the campaign is still closed to new participants.





Wow..It is indeed a great news. Thank you manager Madz for your hard work and effort to extend this campaign.  I wait patiently because I know that the IOST team will acknowledge the contribution made by this campaign to the prize of IOST.  I am looking forward that you will still consider me to become part of this campaign.

What is the best and trusted wallet for lots of altcoins?
For ether, I prefer MyEtherWallet.  I've been using this wallet since I earned altcoin and until now, I am satisfied with the service it offers.  I am comfortable also with its security features and access features which I found safety from hackers.  It can also easily store different altcoins and erc-20 tokens.

On the other hand, I also used to store some of my ether into my local wallet which is coins.ph.  Here in the Philippines, coins.ph is the most trusted wallet for both ether and bitcoin.

106  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: why all coins are dropping? on: May 11, 2018, 10:18:01 AM
any body know the reason for current drop?
Maybe the reason of price drop nowadays is because some holders are dumping or selling their possession to the market with some insistences or reasons. We all know that the big contributor of price fall is once the holder sell their possession, because of this, it cause or resulting of bulky supply in the market cap but less demand because buyer are afraid to buy due to the value is falling. The price movement of once coin is based on the demand and supply of it in the market cap. Once the supply is bulky and buyer is too small, that is result to price fall.

Is it a good buying price for bitcoin?Might cross-border activity often lead to better demand for bitcoin?So bitcoin will do better in the second half of the year.What do you think?
Bitcoin price nowadays is less than nine thousand dollars (9,000 USD) and now is the good opportunity to buy bitcoin since many speculation that the value of bitcoin will hit to more than ten thousand dollars (10,000 USD ++) this mid-year.

Is it a good buying price for bitcoin?Might cross-border activity often lead to better demand for bitcoin?So bitcoin will do better in the second half of the year.What do you think?
Yes, of course, this time is a good price to buy and invest in Bitcoin. Bitcoin prices are now already high but have not reached a very high price. So if you buy Bitcoin now you hold it until the end of 2018. I am sure you will get a huge profit.

Yes, bitcoin value nowadays is going up and it will never reach the most highest price of it of all time. But todays the value of bitcoin is turning to red and for me it is good opportunity to invest money with bitcoin.
108  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PURPOSE OF TOKEN? on: May 11, 2018, 08:40:18 AM
Hi guys, this just bother me long time ago, and just popped up recently..

What is the purpose of token?

I can not figure it out because I have one token before and I did not know how to use it and I can not even transfer it to bitcoin. I am just wondering why people keep inventing and creating so much token at all.
I hope I can get POSITIVE response and not some hates and negative one.

Thank you.
Token was created to be used for a purpose in a certain project.  Developers created coins to gather funds to develop and build their virtual/ digital projects that is  commonly based on ethereum platform.  This coins has a specific value and introduce in the market through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO).  When the ICO became successful, then the token can be exchanged in the crypto market.  There are many tokens around because there are many successful ICOs.   These tokens are launched not only for investment purposes but also to be used in the implementation of the project. 

I know that your token at hand is valuable.  You should have to do some research or watch tutorials on youtube on how to exchange that into bitcoin.

110  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you keep yourself from spending on unimportant things? on: May 10, 2018, 03:51:55 AM
I dont know if it is just me or others also experience it. I always set goals financially, set limits in spending and trying hard to save but most of the time no matter how i tell myself to refrain from spending in unnecessary things whenever i see something i really like even if i dont need it i cant resist buying it that cause me to regret later. Are you familiar with this situation?
Maybe all people experienced what you have experienced.  It is just a matter of self-control and temperance. Before, I also experience that especially when the department stores or online shop offers a sale on their items, controlling yourself is a great challenge to overcome.  So, what I did is I stop visiting online shop and whenever I go to a department store, I see to it that I have a list of things to buy and the money I bring is just budgeted to the necessary things I will buy.   Setting goal to save and invest is also a key.  I see to it that monthly I save enough money to invest in cryptocurrency.  Knowing that it will exponentially increase at the right time.  Instead of buying unimportant things, I keep reminding myself that I can buy more things when I first invest my money in crypto.
111  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do I stop panic selling cryptocurrency? on: May 10, 2018, 02:47:23 AM
The question itself is the answer “PANIC”.

Everyone knows cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and risky.
And most of the people do emotional trading.
They sell when it is crashing. And suffer from the loss. They panic and sell in the loss.

What is the point in selling at low?
One must wait for the market to turn green and bullish.

The way to stop the panic is to not engage in panic-inducing activities such as day trading.
It is like the old joke; a man goes to the doctor and says my arm hurts when I put it overhead.
The doctor says don’t put your arm overhead Grin

If you are in need of urgent money than selling is OKAY but for profit, HODL is the best.
Good point of view.  Directly to the point speaking, it only means not to monitor its price daily because when its value is very low, it only makes you feel depressed until you cannot control yourself to panic and sell your possession that only leads you to lose investment.  

Those who are a newbie in cryptocurrency became a victim of this phenomenon. This is just a product of their fear to lose money which is understandable because it is human nature.   But the longer they engage on this market, they will soon realize and learn from their experience that selling when the price is low is not the answer to recover from loses instead being patience is the best solution.  So, it is really advisable that prior to engaging in crypto, you must fully understand its volatility concept. So, even when its price dump, you are not affected by its price and be calm.

112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best investment is bitcoin on: May 10, 2018, 02:21:50 AM
I have been reading the posts on this forum and so many people are saying they lost a lot of money and bitcoin is no good. Many people are saying that bitcoin and other cryptos have been a bad investment.

But if we look at the facts and the performance and compare to other investments that some people make we can see that this is not the case.

People are making the mistake of focussing on price changes on a day to day basis but investment is not about day to day price movements. It is about patience and reward.

If we look at the changes in one year we can see that bitcoin has performed many times better than all other investments. For one year bitcoin has gone up a massive amount. It was $900 this time last year! Now it is $7000. That has given bitcoin investors an incredible 700% return in just one year. The stockmarket average return for the same one year has given only 2% return. Fiat money has fallen. The dollar has gone down by 15%. Savings accounts have given a return of about 1%.

When you look at the returns and losses of all these investments, the best was stockmarkets that gave average 2%. So bitcoin has given 700% yet people are complaining that it has been a bad investment, even though it is 350 times better than the next best investment. What other investment has given you 700% profit in one year?

Remember, don't be fooled by day to day price changes. Look at the one year and the longer term facts. When you look at these you can see that if you invested in bitcoin you have made many more profits than everything else put together hundreds of times over.

You nailed it.  I definitely agree with you.  That is the reason why bitcoin is not good for short-time investment instead it is advisable for long time investment.  Bitcoin performance in the market should not be measured in the day to day movement in cryptomarket or monthly percentage of profit from your investment but rather trace and record its annual performance and growth.  Let us put in mind that this is the currency of future and before it reach that success, it requires patiently believing and holding investment. 

I think those people who say that bitcoin is no good are those people who do not really understand the concept of bitcoin and cryptocurrency and merely engage in crypto because of the influence of crypto craze without fully understanding it.  Besides, I consider bitcoin as the best investment because if you have the virtue of patience here, for sure, you will never encounter loses.  This is because as long as you keep holding your bitcoin, you always have the chance to earn profit when its value pumps.
113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is investing in bitcoins today late? on: May 10, 2018, 01:24:43 AM
In my perspective, It is not too late to invest in Bitcoin.

A very low percentage of people own Bitcoin.

Take a look around you. How many people actually have Bitcoin?

It’s a low percentage, perhaps around 4%.

Bitcoin is only owned by less than 5 million people worldwide and still has tremendous growth potential.

Everybody thought they were too late at $100, $500, $1000, $5000, and now almost $10,000.

Nobody knows the answer for sure but it’s worth researching and getting into with a small amount of money that you can afford to lose.

There's a saying in Crypto world.

Keep calm and buy bitcoin Wink
Yeah, you are definitely right.  In fact, those people who owned bitcoin is just a small percentage of the total population worldwide.  This is the reason why bitcoin is very valuable and consider those people who have it as lucky.  Lucky simply because they are those people who will be benefitted in future when cryptocurrency became legally accepted and use worldwide.  Just imagine that the small value of bitcoin you invest now has the capability to exponentially grow in the future.  So, it is really not too late to invest in bitcoin now.  

Besides, if you will trace the value of bitcoin in the cryptomarket today, the value is much lower these quarter compared to the last quarter of 2017.  So, we should take advantage of this red period.  Meaning, it is the best time to buy bitcoin and it is never too late to do so when it pumps again, then, those who patiently wait and invest now in bitcoin will be benefitted when that time happens.

Maybe campaign manager Madz is looking for the additional fund from IOST. To obtain the continuation of another week to our signature campaign. Let's wait and be patient.
115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum a threat to bitcoin on: May 08, 2018, 08:49:27 AM
Ethereum is a threat to bitcoin? Yes it is. We all know that ethereum was created by a russian programmer on 2013, and it was launched on 2015. After 3 years it is next to bitcoin in terms of popularity and value.

Let me show you some NBA perspective on this, bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrency right? same as LeBron as the king of NBA. But here comes ethereum the prince of cryptocurrency just like Ben Simmons as the prince of the NBA. The prince will dethrone the king on the eastern conference finals same as ethereum that will dethrone bitcoin in the next couple of years. Wether we like it or not the king will reach its limit. Mark my word. Trust the ethereum process!
Nice connection.  But I think in a cryptomarket instead of thinking that ethereum is a threat to bitcoin, it is better to think that ether is bitcoin's partner to promote cryptocurrency in masses.  With the presence of ethereum in the market, it gives a variety of tokens which add menus to choose from by the investors.  Meaning, it does not only work for rapid information dissemination but also creates a much healthier ecosystem in the crypto world. It also provides a challenge to bitcoin and altcoin to improve their both features for more advancement of technology that will surely benefit us.  

Yes, it is the reality that there is competition between the two but we should think positively about this "competition".  
116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Winner of this year, ETH or BTC? on: May 08, 2018, 08:36:38 AM
Hello everyone!

Recently, I was thinkig. Is there really any reason for the BTC to be the market leader? The only thing that is giving the value to BTC is pretty much the fact, that it was the first crypto currency. It is the grandfather of all cryptos. But we know it has its flaws... It was never designed for broad usage, it has scaling issues and so on.

On the other hand, we were given ETH. The Crypto Kitties or w/e the awesome internet meme ETH appliction is called showed us, that ETH network has issues with high amounts of usage. BUT, 90% of all altcoins are based on the ERC-20 standard, brought to us by ETH. The smart contracts using the Solidity are extremly good piece of technolgy.

So my question is. Do you think, that BTC will keep its leadership, or will ETH be the winner of this year and surpass its ancestor?

I agree with your opinion that ether is more usable compared to bitcoin.  Through the ethereum platform, it gives the opportunity to launch different project aided with technology.  Then, the creation of other token became possible that is based on the ERC-20 standard.  Ether then became the universal fuel of these tokens that makes it in demand and valuable.  Because of the good performance, good reputation was established that caught many investors interest.  Additionally, lower transaction fee compared to bitcoin transaction is also a plus "points" to ether.  But as the time goes by, the supply of ether circulating in the crypto market continues because of its demand compared to bitcoin that is limited in numbers and because of the high demand, its value continues to inflate as the years go by.  With this reasons, reaching bitcoin price is a great challenge to ether.
117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How long should one have to wait to sell on: May 08, 2018, 03:52:57 AM
Bitcoin keep on falling down  and no sign of raising. How long can we keep holding?
In cryptocurrency, Patience, and faith are virtues investors must possess to be able to earn and profit.  Patience because you have to wait until bitcoin price recovers and faith to still believe on it even there is no sign of raising of its value.  If you have two attitudes, for sure, you will succeed in crypto market. Besides, if you are a true believer of bitcoin, you will not doubt even it is on red days for a long time because you still believe that it has the capability to recover again.  This is not a mere speculation but proven throughout history.  

This is the reason why prior to investing in bitcoin, you must truly understand its volatility nature.  Meaning, you should understand that it has the tendency to dump or pump anytime.   You will have to keep holding until the price recovers and bounce back.  This is the reason why bitcoin is advisable for long time investment.  You have to hold it for a long period of time.
118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will every crypto coin survive? on: May 08, 2018, 02:41:01 AM
I think that 95% of crypto coins and tokens won't survive and the reason is that a crypto coin in order to survive and get value it has to be accepted as a way of payment for purchase goods or services.
Very few coins will manage to do it at the end of the day and of course these coins will get enormous value.
The only thing you have to do is to find out which coins will enter the market of real currencies.
You have a good point of view.  It is indeed true that not all cryptocurrency will survive and become valuable. Every coin was created for a specific purpose. It undergoes ICO and different milestones promoting their project concepts and platforms.  But once the coins already reach exchange, then it is a good indication that the project was successfully launched and already reached the target funds for the project.  It is considered as valuable coins.  The only question is, do the masses will patronize and use the coins in their transaction and do investors continue to support it.  If yes, then, the coins will truly survive.  Those coins who gain enough confidence to many investors and created a reputable name in the market will survive for sure.   Unfortunately, due to a massive variety of coins, it is hard to conclude which coin will truly survive throughout the years and which coins will not survive.  
119  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Prediction ETH up to $15,000 by this year on: May 07, 2018, 02:07:55 AM
What you guys think about it ?

I think ETH will up to $5000 only.

well if really hits this year which was predict by reddit..why not  .. all of us will happy. Grin

https://www.ccn.com/ethereum-price-will-reach-15000-this-year-reddit-co-founder/

If your prediction will gonna happen, then it is a good news for all of us. Personally, I am a great believer of ether and I am a great supporter and fan of ethereum platform.  Among all altcoins, I consider ether as the best altcoin circulating in the market.  I also believe that ether will reach $5000 and might even surpass that price because there is a possibility that ether will reach bitcoin price but I doubt it will gonna happen this year. I can say that ether is on the way to reach that price and  it might happen 3 to 5 years from now.  With that, ether is really good for long time investment.
120  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't be fooled. on: May 07, 2018, 01:20:25 AM
Hi, I want to warn you that now on this market has come a lot of bad people, they just beg you for money for nothing, hiding behind the blockchain, but they are not competitive and in most cases are not even going to compete with other companies. Many of the ideas are stolen from other projects.
The result, they have business, and you have illiquid tokens. Your funds have decreased several times.
 But you can not make a claim to the founders of the projects, because they do not hide ) it is an open Scam.

Yes, you are definitely true.  Some people out there created fake projects just to earn money even they get it through scamming people.  They just copy the concept of other projects, modify some parts then ask people to fund them.  We have to be very careful with that kind of people.  This is the reason why there are many scamp ICO nowadays.  As a bounty participant, it is a must that we patiently read every whitepaper of the project, analyze the project and the feasibility of the project so, those people will not receive any support from us and we will not fall on a scam project.  It must be a reminder for us to be aware of this kind of people.
