As practice shows, DeFi projects do not need advertising too much. Even bizarre-named coins, created for fun, are gaining a capitalization of several thousand dollars out of nowhere.
As in the past, very few good projects will resort to bounty services, which is why most of ANY bounties, including DeFi , will be very dubious. But this does not mean that we cannot be lucky to meet a good project. As usual, 2 out of 100.

As far as I know, not a single president has died from Covid. I know of only one case of the death of a politician, but not a president. To tell the truth, I have not heard for a long time about anything like that, that the president would die from some ordinary illness. Even the presidents of third world countries have enough money to maintain their health perfectly, as opposed to the health of their subjects.

Gold has a physical reference in the world, bitcoin does not. If the entire Internet is turned off, then Bitcoin will quickly begin to lose value, because those segments of the world where the Internet will still exist will sell it fearing that its price will fall due to the Internet disconnection. In order for bitcoin to develop, a certain level of stability in the world is necessary. World wars will interfere with this.

Coinbase now offers 'instant' withdrawals via Visa and Mastercard

Crypto exchange Coinbase is now offering “instant” withdrawals in nearly 40 countries, including the U.S. and the U.K.

The new feature is being facilitated via Visa and Mastercard. Coinbase said its customers in the U.S., the U.K., and Europe would be able to withdraw funds with a linked Visa debit card. In the U.S., they will also be able to withdraw with their Mastercard.

“By enabling real-time card withdrawals through the Visa Direct capability, Coinbase is delivering a faster, simpler and more connected experience for its users — making it easier to convert crypto balances into fiat, which can be spent at the more than 60M [million] merchant locations where Visa is accepted,” said Terry Angelos, SVP and global head of fintech at Visa.

Sherri Haymond, executive vice president of digital partnerships at Mastercard, said Coinbase would leverage Mastercard Send, allowing its customers to withdraw and use their funds wherever Mastercard debit is accepted.

Coinbase said it would charge U.S. customers a 1.5% fee (minimum $0.55) and up to 2% to its U.K. and European customers for instant withdrawals.

Decentralized exchange volumes hit $23.5 billion in September

Data for September shows that decentralized exchanges saw more than $23 billion in trade volume for the month.

The approximately $23.5 billion in volume reflects a 103% month-over-month increase compared to August's $11.6 billion, according to data published by Dune Analytics, which tracks volumes in the DEX ecosystem. September's volume figure is higher than previously reported.

Two leading decentralized exchanges made up most of September's volume, with Uniswap making up 65% and Curve making up 22%. Uniswap's volume grew by 128% on a month-to-month basis, most likely fueled by the launch of its governance token.

106  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Newbie's guide to avoid ICO Scam on: October 01, 2020, 07:20:32 PM
It seems to me that the creator of the topic fell asleep back in 2018, and woke up just now.
The fact that most of the ICO scams have been known for a long time, moreover, if you look at the ICO market, you will not see almost any projects, and those that you see do not receive any funding because they are suspected of being a scam.
Now we need to look at the market for DeFi projects, not ICO. It is HYIP DeFi that is now repeating the same thing that happened with the ICO in the past.
107  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: HOW CAN ONE KNOW A FAKE AIRDROP? on: October 01, 2020, 07:17:50 PM
To do this, you need to carry out ANALYSIS.
Go to the project website, check what is written there for plagiarism, check the team for real existence, check the team for fakes, check the partners for their existence and for the existence of the project's links with partners.
Do the same for white paper and other project documentation. Search and you will find.

Wow news. On the one hand, we have Bitfinex, which has been in litigation for many years and remains afloat as if nothing had happened, on the other hand, we have example of Alexander Vinnik.
At the same time, Larry Cermak drew attention to the fact that BitMEX changed the processing time for withdrawal of funds, hinting that BitMEX allows users to withdraw funds before their probable arrest. What's happening.

We win anyway. Digital currencies are expanding and this is the main thing. But the most interesting thing is that for holders of fiat funds there is an easy and simple opportunity to purchase bitcoin.
Of course, it is difficult now to judge how simple this opportunity will be, but nevertheless it will be a new round in the circulation of bitcoin and fiat funds.
111  Economy / Economics / Re: harmonization of fiat and crypto on: September 20, 2020, 11:25:26 PM
I have read several threads that say "fiat will die and will be replaced with crypto" as you agree? I personally do not agree. because when the real system is already established in value and a new system comes with a fluctuating value, the government will not take that risk. But do you agree if Fiat collaborates with crypto in building a future financial system? without killing one system. share your opinion about this.
Of course, cryptocurrency can never replace the traditional national money of states. State governments will not allow this. And cryptocurrency by its nature is not capable of this. Stable coins can partially displace fiat, but state cash should remain. Even highly developed states with a high level of income of citizens who want to get rid of paper money will still use their non-cash money.


Never say never. Let's not forget one thing - there is nothing infinite in the world. The state and social foundations that exist now can be completely reformatted and changed within one decade.

We do not know what the world will be like in 10 years, everything will depend on technology.
If we move into a fully digital era, then there will be no point in fiat means, they will also try to go into a fully digital environment, but during this transition there may be problems that simply destroy the fiat in the form in which we know it.
112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk Twitter hacked on: September 20, 2020, 11:22:30 PM
It looks like Elon Musk is the part that Bitcoin is missing and everyone is waiting for. See how quickly people were in a hurry to part with their bitcoins by sending them to the above-mentioned wallet. Imagine what would happen if Elon Musk wrote on his Twitter "Buy Bitcoin, I believed." And he will throw off a couple of screenshots from any exchange. This is to create an instant FOMO effect and then to the moon Grin.
Humans are so much greedy because those Twitter handles the hackers made  used where not Bitcoin fans; only some few ones. Personally I won't believe this tweet from Barak Obama because he's not among the bitcoiners but thousands quickly believed in these tweets. Let's not be greedy as hackers and scammers are mostly doublers.

Moreover, even after such hacks and deceiving people through the distribution of coins, hackers do not stop continuing to hack the YouTube channels of crypto enthusiasts.
As a result, people instantly forget about such a global hacking of Twitter, and continue to send money to YouTube hackers. It's incredible.

What's really surprising is that so famous and tech-savvy people like Musk, Gates and Bezos are not able to protect their twitter accounts. They look like silly newbies.

What nonsense. The hackers gained access not in a trivial way, but through Twitter's internal security service. The accounts of such public people are always reliably protected, this is obvious.

If they come to me with an offer to make a vaccine for free, I'll fuck them. I would rather have natural immunity from this disease than inject myself with any vaccine. Neither Russian nor American nor any else.
I will be satisfied with being in quarantine for 14 days for any signs of a cold. Vaccines are too dubious for me, I believe in biological immunity.

Passive income? What makes you think that the government should pay your bills and provide you with free money? Work, become a specialist in what you like and there are those things with which you will pay your bills.
Everyone wants free money, and nothing to do. The world is arranged differently, it's time to understand this.
115  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Scammers are back with another trick. Be alert!!! on: September 14, 2020, 09:16:31 PM
Only greedy people will be victims of this scam.  What people need to understand is that, there is nothing free in this crypto ecosystem we find ourselves. It's either you work for it or buy them with your own money.  If you are a greedy person, there are people in this crypto space looking for you just to take the little you have.  

So far as there are greedy people in this space, scammers will always find a way just to steal people who do not appreciate the small amount they have.  

It's not just about greed. Yes, greedy people fall for tricks more often, because when they see a freebie, critical thinking turns off.
But among people there are those who just want to get a crypt just like that, and those who do not have the funds to purchase it. For example, the participants of the Airdrop, are they all greedy? I think no.
The main problem is not greed, but the laziness of the mind of people who do not check information before using it.
116  Other / Archival / Re: What will happen to bitcoin on a world war? on: September 14, 2020, 09:10:41 PM
It is a world war so for sure, the value of bitcoin will fall but as they said it, a war is unlikely, near to impossible to happen especially these days. Bitcoin will surely plummet following the prices in the stock market but I think it will just go back in a certwin time since I think people would prefer to invest on it.

In general, yes, the price should fall, in the wake of the fall in financial markets and economies of developed countries. However, there is always a chance of a different outcome. For example, whales that hold most of the bitcoins can make certain moves, for example, by provoking a hold on the price and thereby encouraging people to buy bitcoin at an unstable time, and as a result, drop its price as they did before.
117  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I can't wait until I can pay using bitcoin at the supermarket on: September 14, 2020, 09:03:44 PM
Whether you can wait or not, you have to. And it is far from possible that something like this will happen in the near future or will happen at all. By the way, in some countries, such as the Philippines, I think this innovation will be one of the first.
So all you need to do is move to another country. As for the more developed countries, banking and financial regulators cannot afford to let cryptocurrency into everyday life so easily.
118  Economy / Economics / Re: You want to get rich, don’t pay taxes, don’t get married, don’t use bank, and... on: September 13, 2020, 09:28:30 PM
is there any evidence that not paying taxes, not getting married and not using a bank make someone rich??  paying taxes and getting married is a liability..  Getting married and having children is wealth too.  Just look at the billionaire Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos (even though they are currently divorced from their wives) but they are married and have children, it complements their material wealth..  getting married is very important because it might be a way to open your fortune.

I don’t think that it’s completely correct to cite millionaires as an example here. But it is worth noting that in the case of marriage, the wealth of the family should grow by more than two,
because now 2 people will be able to create the effect of synergy between each other, which in itself should increase their wealth. However, in our world this happens quite rarely.



Depends on any one how to treat this scenarios in life.

There are good examples where married become a way of getting more fortune as wives help them up
to build more good things in life, or share wealth that they will start growing more for their family.

There are cases when a poor husband marries a rich wife. Does it motivate him to develop and make money? As a rule, no. He is put in a certain position or he does nothing at all enjoying the wealth he has received.
When we are good, we are not inclined to develop.
Personally, I prefer scenarios where 2 people who have nothing come together and create something out of nothing.
119  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / European Union official pledges action on stablecoins after calls for new curbs on: September 13, 2020, 06:28:03 PM
A senior official for the European Union's executive branch said Saturday that concerns among the bloc's finance ministers about stablecoins will be addressed in future legislation.

On Friday, finance ministers from major EU members like Germany and France called for heightened restrictions on stablecoin activities in the region. The next day, during a press conference, European Commission executive vice president Valdis Dombrovskis sought to assuage such concerns.

"Some ministers yesterday expressed some concerns about the risks of so-called stablecoins currently outside our rules. Rest assured that our legislative proposals will address those concerns comprehensively," he remarked, according to a published copy of his remarks. "We will regulate the risks for financiSome ministers yesterday expressed some concerns about the risks of so-called stablecoins currently outside our rules.

We will regulate the risks for financial stability and monetary sovereignty linked to so-called ‘stablecoins' used for payments purposes.al stability and monetary sovereignty linked to so-called ‘stablecoins' used for payments purposes."

At the same time, Dombrovskis advocated for a "proportionate" policy response.

"But we want to be proportionate: crypto assets provide many opportunities, and we want to regulate innovation in, not out," he said.

It is quite difficult to predict what will happen to bitcoin in the event of a world war. It should be assumed that there will be, to one degree or another, no Internet access at the site of hostilities, and there may be no electricity, which will make it extremely difficult to use any means of electronic communication, including electronic currencies. Will it rise or fall? Depending on the global nature of the conflict, after all, other countries, in particular, the aggressors will not have problems connecting the network. At the same time, countries suffering from aggression will receive infusions through cryptocurrency, which can increase the price.
