Yes, BAT is for sure one of the top projects out there, and I pointed out as one of the 3 projects I suggested in the club. I have read a lot about BAT and I bought some few time ago. BAT has a good  valuation over BTC as well.

I don´t use Brave Browser, as I find Firefox much better. Unfortunately, Firefox has a bigger developer team, with more frequent updates and new features. Firefox is in my opinion a much better browser (as long as you use the proper addons as I pointed out here).

Anyway, BAT is an amazing project as it aims to fix online advertising monopoly and costs distribution (which are all on the internet provider and on the user experience, and Google/Facebook have zero costs).

I don´t think BAT depends on Brave browser. Actually, I believe Brave is much smaller than BAT, and BAT must be usable outside Brave, as a firefox/chrome/edge/safari addon or something like that. That´s the only downside of the project IMO.

Other topic: I was thinking about adding Gold/Silver or other commodities to the investment club, however I don´t know how it would be possible with BTC. Any ideas?


Edit: Jet Cash, maybe you can create a topic in Ivory Tower, or here in Securities, about the projects that have potential for investment?

Theymos Said he doesn't want money.

I wanted to donate to the forum and asked about new donator ranks (as 50btc is too much for me) , and he refused.

I just made my first post, where I pointed out 3 altcoins I believe are interesting.
I have also explained why I chosed one of them. I hope I can write something about the other 2 I have in mind.

This is amazing. I didn´t know that website. Thanks for sharing.

It´s not a censorship.

You can still spam around and nobody will bother you. You just won´t get any merit lol

You have the right to spam "good project", one-line bullshit, a wall of texts, or similar stuff everywhere, but no one has the obligation to give you any merit. This is not censorship, this is just common sense.

Merit is something that other users reward you for helping them. It´s not censorship. lol

Hello,

I just want to point out to everyone that I was able to withdrawal my funds that I won on the lottery promoted by TRUEFLIP.IO

It took just a few hours and funds are already on my wallet.

I wasn´t going to withdrawal now, but as I saw that message I decided to try to remove my funds. I am very happy to have won the lottery twice and successfully withdrawal the prize.

Trueflip is indeed a serious company and this contest is legit.

I wish all the best to trueflip.io and keep up the good work!

Hello jetcash.

Just created an account in the forum, waiting for approval.

I have many questions, and I want to get started


How much investment do you think is enough to start?

I have 3 suggestions for Altcoins, which are all top100(about rank 30,40 and 70). Can I make the suggestions already?
What are the rules for choosing Altcoins? Maybe there could be some rules like : must be listed in binance or some other reliable exchange.

Will all discussions be public on the forum, or closed to members?
Will the discussions be copied to Bitcointalk forum to attract more members?

I believe ICOs may be interesting if we dump the coins fast enough too.

I will post my questions on the forum also when/if I get approved

I just saw this Twitter post which gave me another perspective.

Take a look at the lowest value of the year . This show we are in the correct trend.

I thought it was humanly impossible to read all pages here lol

Iam Just going to leave this here.
Other perspective

Unfortunately, dApps are still barely used.

Even on ethereum Network, the Dapps most used have about 1000 users per day, which is very low.
As I pointed out here:

So, 2019 may be an year where this number increases. But I doubt it  will be a Dapps year.

A safe parameter would be to consider the coins with larger market cap, such as BITCOIN, RIPPLE and ETHEREUM. Those coins are less volatile than others and they are *probably* not going to zero anytime soon. They have a high active dev team and are somehow trusted.

Their marketcap is very high, billions of dollares, so they are somehow safer to invest.


No coin is stable. Only Tether and other stable coins, which are pegged to USD value. 1 Tether = 1 USD always.


Listing in CoinmarketCap(CMC) only means that the coin is listed in a exchange that CMC recognizes.

In general, top3 cryptocurrencies are the safest. In the Top100 coins you will find many possible scams (like bitconnect).

The best way to evaluate the coin you are interested is a fundamental analysis, which cannot be done in CMC. You need to read the whitepaper, look information about the team, see if they are legit, and if their business is needed. If the coin has any reason to have any value.... Even if they are all ok, their business may not be lucrative. It´s a high risk/reward.

I like Nadal and Federer. They made really nice games over those last 10 years.

I don´t think Nadal is done, he may surprise everyone. He is not as old as Federer, who is really done physically.

Sua pergunta é extremamente vaga e a resposta bastante complexa, por isso ninguém deve ter respondido.

Aqui tem as questões iniciais sobre sua pergunta.

That's the problem with forks, and why you should sell them as fast as possible.

Usually forks are premined, then they do a lot of marketing after their bags are full of pre mined coins...

Well, I agree with that. However I don´t agree with this statement, which I quoted:


Decentralization is the end, not "the means to an end." The whole goal of bitcoin is to create an independent monetary system..

Don't you guys think that signature campaigns are good for bitcoin adoption?

Personally, before I joined this forum, i had only one wallet that had something like 10 transactions. I bought Bitcoin only to sell it in a higher price later.

Few months later I discovered this forum and the many bounties/campaigns here. I started to use bitcoin as money. Now I have multiple wallets, dozens of addresses with hundreds of transactions.

Spamming is a problem here. However, spammers are adoption Bitcoin. They are contributing to the network, as they are receiving money and transferring it. In other words, they are adopting Bitcoin as a currency (for their spamming efforts, which is questionable..)

Also, there are legit services here that advertise through the forum. I believe all those signature marketing could be easily converted to forum's income, if theymos disabled signature and put ads everywhere. But that wouldn't contribute to BTC adoption.



Eidt: ofc spam is a problem and this problem should be at least reduced. But radical proposals may have an even worse result than the spamn problem

Today, 01/03/2019 marks 10 years since the Genesis block was mined.

The Genesis block contained the following text within it´s coinbase script:

This text is a reference to The Times magazine, you can check in the image below. This text marked the intent behind bitcoin, in a time of a financial crisis worldwide.
