1021  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How useful is bounty programs to the overall success of icos? on: July 21, 2018, 07:30:29 PM
I may as well say that Bounty programs may place a little threat at times to the success of an ICO with respect to dumping of those coins after the ICOs by most of the Bounty Hunters. But the good aspect of it other than adequate campaign given to the ICO project is that most ICOs even after dumping by the Bounty Hunters must have attained their soft cap. Hence, bounty campaign still have more merits than otherwise in the ICOs success generally.
This is only true if the bounty campaigns pay with their own tokens there are many signature campaigns created by icos that pay on bitcoin or sometimes in ethereum and those campaigns do not put at risk the viability of the ico for the long term, also this makes the campaign and the ico a lot more legitimate since they are not paying with tokens they just created and that have no value yet, but instead they are paying with good coins that everyone accepts.

Hi I eagerly want to that is there any insurance company that offers services to protect investment in btc or any cryptocurrency. If you know please share.

It is clear to me that there should not be any company offering those services, they will take enormous risks and that means that you will need to pay a lot of money and I have my doubts many people here will want to pay that. since those that could be able to pay for such a service are willing to accept the risks while those that cannot pay want that protection, so to me there is not a business model that can make profits in the long run for such a business which explains why it does not exists.
1023  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Now time to buy and hold altocoin? on: July 21, 2018, 05:03:11 PM
I think this time in mid-July is the right time to buy altocoin that has been popular .. to hold up its price rise .. because I observed already about 6 months bitcoin prices declined after the new year yesterday .. and now in the middle of the year when it will back up the bitcoin price.

What do you think?  is this a great time to buy altocoin?  
The price of all altcoins is very low and while that may make them more attractive for the majority I think we are at a point in time in which that may send the wrong signals, let me explain, altcoins thanks to their smaller market caps have the capability to outperform bitcoin but at the end most people will sell their alts to get bitcoin in return but thanks to the LN I think we are close to the day major adoption will happen and when that happens the market cap of bitcoin will go up faster than many altcoins.
1024  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If you had to put all of your money into only 1 crypto, which would it be? on: July 21, 2018, 04:32:35 PM
Looking to see what cryptos people feel the absolute strongest on whether that's bitcoin, ethereum, monero, or some coin I've never heard of.



Check out this masternode service I found... They're really changing the game... >>> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3213738
It will depends on what you are looking for but I think that the most obvious answer is going to be bitcoin, not only is the first cryptocurrency ever created, it also has the support from the community and has the best developers and most of money in the market, those factors make it one of the best coins to hold for the long term, now there are some other very god coins like dash, waves, eos, lisk or monero that I really like and I will have no problem investing all my money in them.
1025  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trust you trading experience and don't panic on: July 20, 2018, 10:27:51 PM
Look, if someone is expecting a very strong minded behavior from those who have invested their hard earn money in this world, then I think you must review your thinking. Because this is so natural. You can’t go against the nature. How can you make good results when you are seeing the downfall for prices?Definitely you are getting panic but keep your mind relax and try to leave this topic for some time.
It is true that is natural to panic when the price is going down but it is also natural to lose even more money if you panic since you will take bad decisions, so you have no other option, if you want to become a successful investor or trader you need to overcome your fears those who do become successful those who do not lose all their money, it is that simple, trading is the perfect example that just because something feels natural that does not mean that you should do it.
1026  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin's High Volatility on: July 20, 2018, 09:22:48 PM
Understand that such a large volatility is only a temporary phenomenon. In the future, when bitcoin is the world's cryptocurrency, this market will become more stable and sustainable
But how long that is going to take? The volatility itself will never go away but the high volatility will go away one way or another but we do not know how much we are going to need to wait for that to happen, in the scenario in which bitcoin does not become successful bitcoin will lose its attractive as an investment and only its value as a currency will count, so at that point the price will be just 10% of its current price, but if bitcoin really becomes successful its market cap will be so massive that it will be impossible for even the biggest whales to move the price that much.
1027  Economy / Speculation / Re: will the bitcoin price rise again? on: July 20, 2018, 02:45:31 PM
a few days ago, news about bitcoin was very good, some say bitcoin will work with credit card for payment, what I ask is, will bitcoin price go up again?
The price of bitcoin went up a few days ago and it is still maintaining its price and we are waiting to see if this is a real recovery or just the speculators manipulating the price, just be careful people like you that only care about the price of bitcoin are the most likely to panic when the price goes down again and if that happens it is very likely that you will sell for a bad price, I have seen this happening a lot lately, people are losing their faith in bitcoin and when they do they have no reason to hold anymore even if selling means losing money.
1028  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to known a Scam ICO on: July 20, 2018, 01:19:58 PM
Look at the team always, it figures and the ICO mirror. If they are good-naturedly in contact with investors and are happy to share their plans, then a good ICO.
The developers are everything, this is why the most attention should be given to them, even if the whitepaper and the idea behind the coin is not the best or the most original if the developers are really good it is entirely possible they will be able to deliver a good product, a product that is way better than anything that is in the market and when that happens the only thing you need to do is to wait for the rest of the community to realize this and wait for your profits.
1029  Economy / Speculation / Re: How long will the bear market last? on: July 19, 2018, 06:22:54 PM
I think it will still last for several months. Being expose on signature campaigns and looking in there roadmap, there are many project that is projecting to run around third quarter of 2018 and mostly is in the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2019. I have a big feeling that cryptocurrency will recover during this period once projects is up and running. Because people will begin to trust the market again once real product and services is being offered through crypto platform.
The recovery of the market of cryptocurrencies is not going to come from altcoins and we all know that, we know that when bitcoin recovers that is when the whole market will begin to recover as well and there is no way around that, this market is incredibly dependent on bitcoin and that is not going to change in just a few months, and we are seeing that right now, as soon as bitcoin gave signals that it could recover some of its lost price all the coins went up as a result.
1030  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum is better than Bitcoin? on: July 19, 2018, 04:36:22 PM
The tittle does not match the content of the topic, the topic just ask the question of whether ethereum is better than bitcoin and it gives no context to the question, I assumed the OP was talking about the technology and ethereum is not better than bitcoin in that aspect, but the content of the thread ask if ethereum is better as an investment than bitcoin, maybe in the most recent years this was true but since both coins have such high market caps already I have serious doubts ethereum is going to grow faster than bitcoin.
1031  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are you afraid of the market now? on: July 19, 2018, 03:58:54 PM
Well if its a global economic crisis then all market should be down and I don't think that people will seek refuge in cryptos. Maybe some of them, but gold and other precious metals holder will remain to their market because its a good hedge against financial troubles.

I don't know if everyone understands how the market really works. If you did then you should be afraid or worry because in the first place this market is very volatile. If you can't take it then you should get out because its not for the faint of heart.

But if you are all in and willing to take the risk and not be affected by the price swing and will stick in out whatever the sentiments might be, chances are you are not going to panic and be afraid eventhough the market is really struggling this year.
Not everyone is going to look for bitcoin but some people will, after all if the crisis is as bad as the great depression it is entirely possible we are going to get confiscatory measures by the government, they will raise taxes and charge you a huge tax on your earnings if you sold gold and it is entirely possible they try to confiscate the gold and silver of the people, and the great advantage of bitcoin is that no one can take it unless you reveal your private key so many people will begin to choose bitcoin at that point.
1032  Economy / Economics / Re: Can human stupidity affect the movement of the market? on: July 18, 2018, 05:06:10 PM
The news can easily manipulate most people. Also they tend to get scared very easily, and make instant bad decisions, instead of thinking a bit. Look, if the source is valid, ...
People believe whatever they are told, this is why people see some news in the media and instead of thinking critically about it and to try to find if it is true they just accept it as fact, that is why there are so many fake news going, which is why I have stopped listening to news and I try to find answers by myself, it is a long and tiring process but if you want to have access to the real information and not propaganda then that is something you must do.
1033  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are the reasons why you must take risk in crypto market? on: July 18, 2018, 04:04:30 PM
In my point of view, I am taking the risk to gain in my life. Crypto hasn't disappointed me. I am very happy with it and I am earning and I can lead a good life by crypto. So, crypto gives me a lot, now I want to give the crypto by investing and holding here. But at the end of the day, crypto will give me again.  So, here I want to mention that, I am not taking a risk by investing in the crypto, Rather i am investing to support the crypto but I will get good profits from it too.
And people like you are the ones that are going to become most successful, there are many people entering in this market just because they want to earn money and they do not know what kind of risk they are taking and when things turn out in the wrong direction they immediately get scared and run to protect themselves just like what happened in December and now those people have lost a fortune while people like us are still holding and will recover our money and more when a new bull market comes.
1034  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think if Facebook releases its coin? on: July 17, 2018, 07:01:58 PM
Maybe such an issue has already been met, but I have not heard. What do you think if Facebook releases its coin? Is the success of this coin?
We first need to think about why Facebook will release its own coin, what they would get out of it? Personally I do not see a reason for Facebook to do it, but supposing it did I think there will be many people that will use it just because it comes from Facebook but since I have never had a Facebook account then it is obvious I will not have any use for a coin like that and while some people waste their money in such a coin I will keep investing in bitcoin.
1035  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How useful is bounty programs to the overall success of icos? on: July 17, 2018, 06:30:36 PM
The success of a currency, when it is well built, is mainly due to marketing.
And the bounties are the best way to make a currency interesting for potential investors.

No the success of an ico is determined by its functionality, the developers and the idea itself, the marketing that comes from bounty campaigns only helps spread the word there is a new service that is all, it is very important but at the end it does not matter how much money you invest in marketing if the product that you are promoting is a scam or is not good at all, marketers think they can sell anything but they are mistaken and most of the time they find the hard way when trying to promote a bad product.
1036  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to make money on the fall of the market. on: July 17, 2018, 04:49:37 PM
Obvious & simple is to do trading. Buy coins at cheaper price & wait for the hike of prices. If you do not have fiat money to invest then go for Bounty Campaign, there you had invest only your time & hardwork by posting sharing at Facebook, twitter, Telegram & some social media sites, from this you will earn coins, which you can sell it at Exchanges, but you need patience, the coins take long time to be listed at good prices. When they get hike you can sell them & earn good money.
Trading seems like the obvious answer but it is not as simple as you think, trading is very easy when we are in the middle of a bull market but when we are in a bear market then trading becomes a lot harder, it is very easy to look like you are a very good trader when every single coin is going up but making money in this down market is something that only those that are very good at trading and know every single trick can do and most people do not fit that definition.
1037  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How did you recover from your loss in bitcoin investment? on: July 17, 2018, 03:49:51 PM
You can sell now and cut your rather massive losses - I'm guessing that's around 40-50% of your initial investment based on a two month old purchase.
Cutting your losses only makes sense if you do not believe in the coin in which you have invested and if you did not believed in the coin and you still invested then that was your mistake from now on only invest in coins like bitcoin that have the trust of the community, I know that means that you are not going to get as much profits as those that invest in icos but at least your money will be safe since we know that even if the price of bitcoin goes down it will eventually recover.
1038  Economy / Economics / Re: [ASK] How are you going to handle too much debt? on: July 17, 2018, 03:23:02 PM
Tips in handling too much debts,
1. Know who and how much you owe,
2. Pay you bills on time each month,
3. Create a monthly bill payment calendar
4. Make at least the minimum payment
5. Decide which debts to pay off first
6. Pay off collections and charge offs
7. Use an emergency fund to fall back on
8. Use a monthly budget to plan your expenses
9. Recognize the signs that you need help.
There are many good tips that you give but some can be improved, tip number 4 should say make more than the minimum payments, if you only make minimum payments you are never going to pay off your debt, in point five it should say pay off the debts that cause the biggest interest rates, most of the time this means paying off your credit cards, and the point number 9 should be that you must get help since most of the time a huge debt happens because of unhealthy spending habits.
1039  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Game of Thrones - Who will rule? Odds and betting discussion [Odds updated!] on: July 16, 2018, 06:34:55 PM
There is going to be a unhappy ending for sure but the more I read on net more confused I get some say Bran will be killed in second or third episode, then others say Danny will be pregnant and will die, Jamie will die and kill night king. There's just to much and it's one hell of a wait. Nitrogen has the odds out already? Or are they planning to release it.
Yes, the odds are out just follow the link to their blog post here it is:

https://goo.gl/YfghTY

And if you want to bet now, after you go to the site of nitrogensports you just select “Entertainment” and then “Game of Thrones”

It is odd I knew people placed bets on things like Brexit or who is going to be the next US president but I did not knew people placed bets on television shows.
1040  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin's High Volatility on: July 15, 2018, 05:44:05 PM
Its the most volatile investment in the world that you could end up zero if you don't study it very well. But the positive side is it can make you you rich within the short period of time.
The market by itself does not make you lose money, people lose money to the markets, if you have no experience investing or trading why do you decide to invest in a market that is so difficult? Pick something else like stocks, this market is very unforgiving if you invest at the wrong time, like all of those people that invested in December or if you invest not knowing what you are doing like all of those people that decided they were traders when they have not read a single book about the subject.
