1081  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What should I do with a 1000$ and what would you do? on: December 19, 2019, 11:40:26 AM
If I have $ 1000 to invest in the cryptocurrency market, I think 60% of the $ 1000 I will allocate to invest in Bitcoin. 20% for ethereum and the rest for some altcoins that are in the top 20 coinmarketcaps. By diversifying investments, I think this will reduce concerns when the market is volatile
I also think so, who doubts bitcoin? We all know that bitcoin still has a high price, from the amount of $ 1000 I have, maybe I will map 40% for bitcoin, 30% for eth and the rest I will save while looking at which coins are suitable for short-term use.
1082  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How and why to buy Stablecoins in 2020 on: December 19, 2019, 09:42:26 AM
You might be pretty familiar with the cryptocurrency markets, but sometimes stablecoins can still feel a bit elusive. They’re a type of cryptocurrency that are designed to reduce price fluctuations. It’s essentially a coin which has its value pegged to another asset, like fiat. We’ll be taking a look at how and why to buy stablecoins in 2020. Let’s dive in.

What is a stablecoin?
Most people imagine stablecoins as a coin that’s connected to fiat currency, like the US dollar. While this may be the case for some stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and TrueUSD (TUSD), it’s not true for all of them. You can create a stablecoin that’s pegged to pretty much any asset, including precious metals, other cryptocurrencies, or even a combination of the two.

Ultimately, the goal of a stablecoin is for it to be worth the same as the asset backing it. So, a stablecoin that’s pegged to the US dollar, will always have its value sit at around $1.

Why buy stablecoins?
A lot of people are enamored by the volatility of the cryptocurrency markets, but others find it pretty stressful. Maybe you fall somewhere in the middle: You’re a crypto-fanatic, but all of the volatility in the market gives you a headache.

Stablecoins allow you to stay in the crypto-game, while combating the (sometimes wild) price fluctuations that occur in this exciting industry.

Stablecoins also allow you to use fiat like crypto. They’re pegged to fiat, so it makes it pretty simple to invest USD on crypto exchanges. Stablecoins can also provide perspective to those unfamiliar with the way the cryptocurrency market works. Most people will want to compare crypto value to fiat prices, so they can use stablecoins to do so on exchanges that don’t support fiat.

Stablecoins also provide the security and low transaction fees that are indicative of the nature of the crypto asset market. Stablecoins are a great way to achieve fast and affordable transactions of fiat-like assets. You’ll have the speed and cheap transaction fees associated with crypto, and you’ll also know the value of the stablecoin you’re using is the same as the fiat (or other asset) that it’s linked to.

How to buy stablecoins
Tether (USDT) currently has a market cap of $4,129,579,780, the fourth largest according to CoinMarketCap (at the time of writing). TrueUSD (TUSD) has a market cap of $161,707,769 USD at the time of writing. They’re both doing pretty well at the moment. Luckily, getting in on the how and why to buy stablecoins in 2020, also provides you with some insight into the buying process on Vertex.Market, a peer-to-peer marketplace where users can launch their own offerings. You’ll find both of the stablecoins available on the marketplace, with some pretty fantastic deals. Simply sign up, and do your thing. No KYC necessary.

https://twitter.com/blckchaindaily/status/1201990683332091910

Why stablecoins?
Stablecoins were initially invented as a way to combat the volatility of the cryptocurrency markets, and they’re doing a pretty stellar job of fulfilling their purpose.

So, how and why to buy stablecoins in 2020? It’s pretty simple: you’ll be incorporating a solid digital asset into your portfolio, that is backed by a major asset, and you’ll still receive all of the perks that come with other cryptocurrencies (like low transaction fees and fast transaction speeds). Find offerings on Tether (USDT) here, and TrueUSD (TUSD) here.

Helpful article, I have another reference for 2020, I hope this is all in line with expectations regardless of the twists and turns of the market price, and I don't just rely on coins and big projects. And I will try to share with my friends so they know about this info
1083  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Dogecoin Be a Good Investment in 2020 on: December 18, 2019, 08:38:25 PM
Dogecoin is likely to pick up, as people are realizing it’s worth and they are getting over it being a mere crypto joke. Further, The coin might touch the $0.02 mark, where the highest expected price is $0.0294 and the minimum expected price will be $0.0224.

https://coinpedia.org/information/dogecoin-price-analysis/

What's your dogecoin price prediction?
For the short term it might be an option, but for the medium or long term I think it needs a lot of consideration. I have never kept a dogecoin for a long time, not because of the amount but because I mapped which coins could be short term, which were medium term, which were long term. Apart from the ups and downs of prices in the market
1084  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to introduce crypto currency to newbies on: December 18, 2019, 07:30:37 PM
In your opinion, what is an effective way to introduce crypto currency for newbies, and how important do you think?
I think platform like the Brave browser are a very effective way, this is important because newbies are the future?
Give all your thoughts here
I think the very first thing is to develop a sense of curiosity about cryptocurrency, what is contained in it, such as there is no sense of curiosity, why should be told? Then enter the second step usually I give some reference sources that he must learn and the rest let him determine where he wants to participate in cryptocurrency.
1085  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Things you could purchase with Cryptocurrencies (Opera Merc) on: December 18, 2019, 06:22:06 PM
I was bored and decided to surf my Opera browser wallet d'App section and the first app I stumbled upon was the Opera Store where you can enjoy access to Enjoy access to exclusive, limited-edition Opera-branded crypto merch. Instant payment with built-in Opera Ethereum wallet. I saw a thread recently asking if people has ever purchased something with Cryptocurrencies before, personally I have paid for services using Cryptocurrencies and one of the best ways of refilling my airtime or data balance is with https://www.bitrefill.com/.

To access the Opera Store, all you have to do is go to the wallet section of the browser, Click on the D'App icon on the bottom right part of the wallet (on mobile devices) and the very first d'App you would see is the Opera Store, you could purchase a number of Mercs there like branded hoodies, mugs and much more.

If you have been wanting to purchase something with Cryptocurrencies, here is your chance to make your first purchase for little to nothing, because some products there are as low as $11 (including tax and delivery).

If you know other stores or services that accepts Cryptocurrencies, you can share here as well to help others discover the awesome things they could do with Cryptocurrencies.
It seems that the application has not been officially launched in my country, I always feel happy if there are many applications that support the payment feature using cryptocurrency than I have to cash the coin first and then spend it. I hope this application can be released soon in my country and be followed by several other applications.

1087  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are Legal Risks in Crypto World ? on: December 17, 2019, 09:52:24 PM
Together with the explosion of interest in the digital currency and all its implications for new and traditional companies, the legal impact of these new technologies and currencies needs to be made clearer. Given that governments around the world, regulatory agencies, central banks, and other financial institutions work to understand the nature and significance of digital money, individual investors can invest in this new environment. On the other hand, when buying and selling cryptocurrencies, investors assume certain legal risks.

Although digital currency is easy to confuse for traditional electronic money, this is not the same; similarly, as it is not physically owned and carried between parties, it is unlike conventional cash currencies. The fact that space has only been popular recently in comparison to more conventional currency and payment systems is part of the uncertainty of the legal status of the digital currency. Below, we will discuss some of the new legal ramifications of cryptocurrency investment.

Cryptocurrencies as Property

How the central government views cryptocurrency investments is a vital legal concern for any cryptocurrency investor. In the United States, the IRS has described cryptocurrencies not as currencies but as assets

What is your thought about Legal Risks in Cryptocurrency ?
I am just worried that in the future there will be regulations regarding the violation of the use of cryptocurrency in my country, maybe until now we can still relax because the legality of cryptocurrency 60:40 is 60 that rejects the existence of cryptocurrency and 40 that agrees to cryptocurrency. All I do is go through and be ready whatever the decision and the worst possible.
1088  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [GUIDE] Tips on securing our emails on: December 17, 2019, 06:43:45 PM
Security breach is natural here in the world of Crypto and I just want to share my own simple ways on how to lessen the possibility of being hacked, specially in our emails.

 Below are the different methods I used to work to secure my own data:

1. Using Multiple Emails -
 I recommend using multiple emails, normally 2 to 3 emails to protect the MAIN account.  To protect our accounts from any possible Scam, Phishing sites etc.  which may compromised your personal information.

 Just simply identify which email is your main and which email will you make a dummy or for all types of site you don't sure if safe or not.


Explanation:

 Main :
 Use this email to register for any  reputable sites and apps that hold your funds, like E-wallets (Coins.ph, Coinbase, Abra etc.) and for reputable exchanges that hold your assets (Binance, Bitfinex, Polinex, HitBTC etc.  )

 It can also be used on various social media accounts such as:
 Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube etc.

 But it's more secure if you have a separate email.  Email for social medias and email for all fund controll sites and apps.

 Note:
 Never use this email to register to any sites, especially if you are an Airdrop and Bounty Hunter.


DUMMY
 Use this email on any site, it is not as important as Main email.  Even if you're not sure about the sites / apps background or review it is safe as long as you do not link to your Main account.  Use your main to backup your dummy and if someone cracked your email pass  or you only forget the password you have the power to recover it but don't do it vice versa like making your dummy as recovery email for your main email..  Main must have control over dummy for recovery purposes.

 As I mentioned earlier, you can use 2, 3, or more emails, the important thing is that Dummy has no connection to access main.

2. Using Multiple Password:
 Like email, you can also use multiple passwords with different use to secure and manage accounts easily.

Example

 Main - December @ 123
 Dummy - November $ 456


 You can add One, two or more tbased on your  ideal quantity of password but I recommend using 2 passwords for convenient in terms of memorizing.

 If you notice they are almost identical to Format, because it is made for convenient purposes.
 Entering numbers, CAPITAL LETTERS and special characters can make your password stronger.  Instead of making a long password with pure small letters is easy to crack.

3. Mobile Number -
 Never let your main Email without any mobile numbers linked.  If  the dummy account is compromised, use the main email for recover it ( back up.  Here, the mobile number keeps you coming back.  Much better use this number as 2FA for your main.

 Note: if you have lost your mobile number, replace it immediately with another mobile number.

 This post is not the full key to secure your accounts so it is always "da best" to study closely any site or apps you go to or use.
 May this article be helpful to you, whether you are a beginner or a professional.


 Feel free to correct me if I have forgotten or misused terms.

It seems that there is a bounty section, try joining emirex or PGpay. That's just a few options among the many bounties, here I try to suggest that you first read the terms and conditions that exist in each bounty. Is it burdensome or even profitable.

1090  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WHY DOES BOUNTY PROJECTS TAKE TIME TO ENTER A MARKET on: December 17, 2019, 03:26:36 PM
A new project needs a lot of money for marketing and project improvement. They do ico ieo then launch their product to the market. Mostly it's because of the fund they need to rise for that project.
This is more or less speculation, and also they consider the success or failure of their products in the market by monitoring the data available, and I think it takes a lot of time and money. Only then can they decide whether or not their products are on the market
1091  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: is this gift right? Send 0.5 ETH = 1ETH on: December 17, 2019, 11:08:07 AM
can someone check this site? about the 2x fold prize of ETH.
if someone sends 0.5 ETH to their address & will get a bonus 2x = 1 ETH

https://mixineth.com/

2x bonus will be sent to the address that you entered or that you want from ETH.
Are gifts like this true?

EDIT:


I was hesitant to check the site, because I had seen other responses and it was really feared that it was phishing and scamm, I don't think ETH might give such a promotion. Even the ETH owner did not make this announcement
1092  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I just feel sorry for Simplecoin users on: December 16, 2019, 07:07:47 PM
Simplecoin, a cryptocurrency mining platform with a focus on accessibility, will be shutting down in the new year.

According to a press release via the company, Simplecoin will be shutting down on January 1, 2020. This is due to the European Union’s eventual implementation of a new Anti Money-Laundering Directive, which will force Simplecoin to adhere to new know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money-laundering (AML) policies. The platform, based in the Netherlands, will have to change its policies to comply with this legislature, which stands against what Simplecoin believes in.


Source link here

I know how it feels that things won’t last long, especially for Simplecoin.

Shame on these regulations, as Simplecoin cannot see themselves complying with the KYC and AML policies. Simplecoin users may have until the end of the year to withdraw their earnings.

However, they have stated that “it’s not over yet” for them, as they may be coming back in the near future with a different approach. I just don’t know what would that be, but I just hope that they won’t get into regulatory trouble if they are to open again.

I would like to hear about your reactions about this guys. Thanks!
There is nothing wrong with obeying the government than being labeled a dissident and only making it difficult for us going forward. Indeed government policies are sometimes strange and excessive, but I think that is a risk that must be faced. Even when it was finally simplecoin decided to close, I think they had thought about the risks that would occur, then for the problem of profit and loss, I think they also have a mental preparation of every project that is up to the worst possible point.
1093  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: $100 million worth of ETH? on: December 16, 2019, 06:04:27 PM
At the peak of the market during the massive bull run of 2017, the Ethereum Foundation liquidated 70,000 ETH. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin convinced the foundation to sell at that time.

The price of ETH peaked at $1,400 during January of 2018, which would have netted approximately $100 million from the sale. Buterin also disclosed a personal sale of 30,000 ETH at the same time.


Full news here

Holy smokes! Now this is why their projects can keep up for a very long while.

To me, it was a wise decision for them to liquidate their ETH when it reaches its all-time high back then. Even the “extraordinary terrestrial” himself, Vitalik Buterin, sold his personal 30,000 ETH.

I just wish it was 2017 all over again, when we could have sold some ETH and other tokens during the big bull run. However, I honestly think that it will not repeat ever again because the market has matured already.

Good for them. Well done!
I think the market will always be like this, up and down prices are normal. And I think eth owners have prepared several strategies to deal with markets like this. Of course we all expect good prices for all coins, not just a few coins, so we will have the option to make transactions in cryptocurrency. And maybe eth can touch that big number.

Despite the bearish cryptocurrency landscape in 2019, blockchain projects and cryptocurrency influencers seem to be bolstering the technology with brazen advancements and optimistic views for the future. Below are the top 100 crypto influencers. Do you agree with the list?

https://cryptoweekly.co/100/
I personally can not say much, there will be many other versions that might only change the position of the cryptoweekly version. Those on the list have worked quite hard with their potential. So I don't think it's feasible to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of those who have made a sizeable contribution to cryptocurrency

I've noticed that there are a lot of blockchain games lately, from gambling to tycoon games and etc. It was nice knowing that they were able to use the blockchain technology to bring entertainment to everyone. They were also able to promote the use of cryptocurrency in playing their favorite games. I know you are able to start playing games without investment but I think it is a case to case basis. It is not always that you're able to spot a good game or site you like and they don't always give free tokens for you to play, you need to invest before you can actually play any game.
It seems that I am tempted by the Blokchain game, I almost never play the game in either standard PC gaming or smartphone, but after I see your opinion and also other opinions, this might be a new option for me in cryptocurrency. Thank you

By 2030, the demand for alternative currencies will rise, with digital currencies eventually replacing cash, according to recent research from Deutsche Bank.  Shocked

What do you think as a Crypto Expert? What are the challenges? What things should be adopted to replace fiat?  Huh Huh

I think again it's just a possibility. Digital can be a reality in the future, but to replace the original currency, it is likely not. Because cryptocurrency is also based on the original currency, but if for the times and convenience for its users, I totally agree.
1098  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH to zero? This guy is dreaming! on: December 15, 2019, 06:47:38 PM
Anti-crypto campaigner and perennial Bitcoin basher, Nouriel Roubini, is at it again. But this time around, he’s after Ethereum (ETH). According to a tweet by “Dr. Doom,” Ethereum is still a long way from its “fundamental value” of $0. Just like his previous criticism on Bitcoin, Roubini is certain that in the long run, ETH will hit a $0 price mark.

For some time now, Dr. Doom has been bashing cryptocurrency with his skepticism of several financial markets, including bitcoin.


Source link here

ETH to zero? In your dreams, hater!!!

There come a time that ETH may be bottoming out within this month, but it would not go down to zero for sure.

Before Virgil Griffith was arrested, he shared to me and the rest of the attendees last January 2019 at the Boracay Blockchain Summit about Ethereum's proof-of-stake and the future developments, and why we should be excited about them in the long run. Same thing with Vitalik Buterin when he talks about Ethereum's bright future at Token 2049 Hongkong.

After the Ethereum supermeetup, he and the other keynote speakers are in an AMA session answering the community's questions related to the project.

For me, I honestly think that we should be excited about Ethereum's long-term future, not focusing on Roubini's hate speech about them, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

To be honest, Nouriel Roubini is nothing but an all-in-one stupid idiot!
I think everyone has the right to express their opinions, the most important thing is that we have our own views and are not influenced by those opinions. But it would be better if we investigate and examine ourselves, because it is not valid if we judge these opinions without data and research. And in my opinion it's very unlikely that eth will get to zero
1099  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need suggest invest in small amount on: December 15, 2019, 05:36:42 PM


I have little amount in bitcoin $279 and Ethereum $72, so where i can invest now? IEO/ICO or old coins in CMC?

If you want give me suggest for IEO then you can explain, which exchange best for a successful IEO.
Basically ICO no have good position now this time, so another chance making profitable for OLD coins?

thanks to all
I think your decision is right, by saving some bitcoin and eth. It might also be possible to look for other alternatives to strengthen the two coins. And good luck with your investment

What is the most reason to buy new token or new coin, to trade it in the market or to spend it if there something to spend it?
I am talking here that token or coin already listing in exchanges.
And not tokens exchanges such as BNB.
What you think?
Some of us use that method as an option in short-to-medium-term trade or investment, while waiting for the big coin to strengthen again, or just as a collection, as far as I know everyone has their own way of trading.
